Amazon.com Inc. is closing its Amazon Care service as the company looks to retool its healthcare offerings following the purchase last month of a line of primary care clinics.
The technology giant Wednesday said it had decided to shut down the business by year-end because it didn’t offer a robust enough service for the customers Amazon is targeting. The unit has operated as an employee-based telehealth service that has also dispatched medical providers to patients’ homes.
