Amazon is restructuring its health-care business in response to recent executive departures, including key leaders from Amazon Pharmacy and One Medical. The company plans to create six new units under Amazon Health Services to streamline organizational operations and improve the patient experience. Senior vice president Neil Lindsay stated this initiative aims to foster innovation and responsiveness in healthcare, while also promoting existing leadership rather than implementing broad layoffs. Despite the executive changes, Amazon remains committed to its healthcare ambitions, which began with its acquisition of PillPack.
