The list of products includes dairy products, meat, seafood, olive oil, snacks, beverages, kitchen essentials, produce, salad kits, desserts, and more.

The company says the new amenity will launch in December of this year at One Medical locations in and around Los Angeles before eventually expanding to other One Medical offices across the U.S.
“As clinicians, we see firsthand how delays in starting medication can impact treatment outcomes,” Andrew Diamond , MD, chief medical officer at One Medical, said in the company’s press release. “The ability to know a patient is leaving our office with their medication in hand—especially for conditions requiring immediate treatment like infections—can make a meaningful difference in their care journey.”
“Driver safety is our top priority,” the company said in a statement. “We are making these changes to help ensure that our delivery personnel can complete their work as safely as possible.”
In a message, the company reminded customers to update their delivery preferences. Shoppers now have the option to have parcels placed at their front door or in front of their garage. But while the move was made with safety in mind, some disability advocates were quick to point out that the change could be burdensome for some customers.
“The decision could make it more difficult for people with disabilities to receive their packages independently,” a representative from a local disability advocacy group said The SI Advance . “Many people rely on these alternative entrances to avoid navigating stairs or other obstacles at the front of the house.”
