St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center said it has signed an agreement with ride-hailing mobile app service Uber to make it easier to catch a ride to and from St. Francis and Trinity Health New England’s other Connecticut and Massachusetts locations.
Under the agreement, Uber will include specific pickup and drop-off locations for six Trinity facilities in its app, making it easier for drivers to locate fares on the large properties.
Trinity staff will also be able to use an online dashboard to schedule multiple Uber rides in advance.
The deal also include a $20 promotion for first-time users.
Uber signed a similar pact last year with Hackensack University Health Network, a three-hospital health system in New Jersey.
St. Francis said its agreement with Uber is a first in Connecticut and Massachusetts.
