Amir Dan Rubin, CEO of primary care provider One Medical, which Amazon acquired about a year ago, is leaving the company later this year. Twitch CEO Emmett Shear resigned from Amazon in March, and Whole Foods CEO John Mackey retired last year. Amazon has looked to shore up its presence in health care through the One Medical and PillPack deals, as well as by developing services in-house. Last August, the company shuttered its Amazon Care telehealth service amid broader cost-cutting efforts. Haven, a joint venture intended to disrupt health care, disbanded in 202.

The patients Insider interviewed asked to be identified by their first names to protect their privacy. In this chat log, a Ro weight-loss patient sends messages to the startup asking to cancel the program. Reitano told Insider that around 90% of Ro patients got a response within 24 hours. "Until these DTC companies generally start getting into the muck of healthcare, they're not going to have a material impact," Parker told Insider.

With Amazon Pharmacy, Prime customers in the United States can get their prescription medications shipped to their home for free. Two Amazon executives who played a formative role in the retail giant's push into health care are departing. After the acquisition, Parker and Cohen helped steer the launch of Amazon Pharmacy, the company's online pharmacy for delivering prescription medications in the U.S. Amazon has accelerated its push into health care in recent years, though not all of its efforts have been successful. The pharmacy business struggled to gain traction, and Amazon recently announced it would shutter its telehealth service Amazon Care after finding it wasn't a "complete enough offering" for customers.
