MedSpeed now provides last-mile movement of physical materials for Allina’s 12-hospital system. 

“Each day, medical couriers play a critical role in health care delivery,” Sarah Charai, system director of Allina Health’s supply chain operations, said in a May 18 statement. “For example, a patient’s diagnosis relies on a specimen safely getting to the right place in a timely manner. MedSpeed is a proven leader in healthcare logistics with a committed team of experienced employees.”
