"The opportunity to connect customers to care, medications, and the products and services they need to get and stay healthy, while also connecting healthcare providers and services to customers, is enormous and necessary," Lindsay wrote in the email.
. Over the past few years, Amazon has made a concerted effort to get into healthcare. It acquired online pharmacy startup PillPack in 2018, which turned into Amazon Pharmacy, and broadly rolled out its primary care business called Amazon Care in 2021. It also has a separate diagnostics unit and other health projects, including Halo, a fitness tracker for sleep and heart rate.
In his email, Lindsay also formally announced the additions of two new executives to his team: Aaron Martin, theat Providence, and Prakash Bulusu, a longtime Amazon retail executive. Martin will lead the Partner Services team, while Bulusu will be in charge of the Storefront and Shared Tech team. Amazon Care is run by Kristen Helton and John Love was named the new VP of pharmacy in January. Kenneth Bedsted, the general manager of Amazon Diagnostics, will now report to Martin.
