Amazon is shutting down its fledgling health care service, Amazon Care, at the end of this year.
Amazon launched Amazon Care in 2019 as a pilot program for its Seattle-area employees before expanding to other employers in Washington and nationwide. The service incorporates a telehealth app, prescription delivery and the option to schedule a visit with a physician at patients' homes and offices. In February, Amazon said it expected to roll out in-person services to 20 new cities this year.
Neil Lindsay, senior vice president for Amazon Health Services, told employees Wednesday the company had determined "Amazon Care isn't the right long-term solution for our enterprise customers."
