Disruptor Alert: Amazon Care Will Soon Be Available to All U.S. Amazon Employees
Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) employees eager to try the virtual healthcare services that launched a couple of years ago in Seattle will get their chance this summer. On Wednesday, the company announced a nationwide rollout of Amazon Care's online services to begin this summer.
Amazon's healthcare ambitions seemed like they were winding down earlier this year when the company disbanded Haven, a joint venture formed three years earlier with Berkshire Hathaway and JPMorgan Chase, a lofty goal to disrupt the U.S. healthcare system.
Amazon's latest move into the healthcare space, though, will probably be its most disruptive one yet. That's because the company will make Amazon Care virtual services available to all U.S.-based employers. The in-person follow-up services will be limited to Washington state and the Washington, D.C., metro area.
