Amazon announced that Neil Lindsay, the company’s top health-care executive, will step down as senior vice president of Amazon Health Services on July 1 after more than 15 years with the company. Lindsay, who has overseen Amazon Pharmacy, One Medical and other health initiatives since 2021, will remain as an advisor through the end of the year and plans to continue working with health-care technology companies.
Amazon will replace Lindsay with Dr. Roy Schoenberg, cofounder of telemedicine provider Amwell, as the company continues its push into the U.S. health-care industry. Amazon’s health-care expansion has included the
$750 million acquisition of PillPack in 2018, which became Amazon Pharmacy, and the
$3.9 billion purchase of primary care chain One Medical in 2023. The company has also experimented with telehealth services and health-focused wearable devices, though some initiatives were later shut down as part of broader cost-cutting efforts.
