BELLEVUE, Wash. – Amazon has announced that Dr. Roy Schoenberg will join the company as the new leader of Amazon Health Services on July 1. The physician and entrepreneur co-founded Amwell in 2006 and spent nearly two decades as its CEO, building it from a startup into a leading telehealth platform partnering with the nation’s largest health systems, national payers and public health agencies. “But what excites me most about Roy isn't his resume—it's his conviction,” said Neil Lindsay, senior vice president of Amazon Health Services, who will be leaving the company to pursue personal projects and advisory roles. “He believes, as I do, that healthcare should be fundamentally easier for people. He believes technology and clinical excellence aren't in tension—one helps the other. And he brings the rare combination of clinical credibility, technological vision, and operational experience needed to take what we've built, to improve on it, and to scale it into something that changes how hundreds of millions of people experience health care.” Lindsay says he will work closely with Schoenberg over the coming months to ensure a seamless transition.
