DHL is constructing warehouses in Pennsylvania and North Carolina in response to an “upsurge in the pharmaceutical landscape” from weight loss and diabetes drugs, according to a Feb. 13 news release from the contract logistics company. 

The Pennsylvania site will be closer to major pharmaceutical hubs and research organizations to speed up distribution, and the North Carolina facilities “will cater to the growing demand for life sciences logistics in the southeast region, offering proximity to major airports and transportation infrastructure,” DHL said.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
