Amazon’s healthcare business has landed Hilton as a key customer
Hilton Worldwide Holdings will offer its employees virtual and in-person care from Amazon Care.
“Hilton pays for workers’ access to care and for a portion of the visit expenses. Text chats via Amazon Care will be free to the hotel chain’s employees, while provider video or home visits carry a small fee, she said.”

I guess the home visits are unique but that will last only as long as the option doesn’t have any real utilization.
