Amazon.com Inc. said it has partnered with the primary-care
services company Crossover Health to establish health centers near
Amazon fulfillment and operations facilities in the U.S. following
a push for better working conditions amid the Covid-19
pandemic.
Amazon said it expects to establish 20 health centers in the
Dallas-Fort Worth Area in Texas, Phoenix, Ariz., Louisville, Ky.,
Detroit and the San Bernardino-Moreno Valley area in California
through the initial pilot program. There are more than 115,000
Amazon associates at those locations, the company said.
The company said it will build similar facilities in other
places if the pilot succeeds.
Amazon fired at least three warehouse employees and reprimanded
several others who said they were singled out after pushing for
better working conditions during the pandemic, The Wall Street
Journal reported in April. The company denied that the firings were
connected to seeking better treatment and said the individuals were
terminated or reprimanded for violating internal policy.
