The Future of Primary Care and Retail Health

Retail giants such as Walgreens, CVS, Walmart and Amazon have significantly invested in healthcare services, spanning from virtual care to brick-and-mortar primary care clinics. Notable deals include Amazon's purchase of One Medical, CVS's acquisition of Oak Street Health, and Walgreens's investments in VillageMD, Summit Health and CityMD. Despite these bold moves, these companies face considerable challenges in their quest to "disrupt" healthcare and provide primary care at scale.
