Amazon agrees to acquire One Medical for $3.9B
Amazon and One Medical announced that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement under which Amazon will acquire One Medical for $3.9 billion. One Medical is a human-centered, technology-based national primary care organization powered through a combination of in-person, digital and virtual care.
“We think healthcare is high on the list of experiences that need reinvention. Booking an appointment, waiting weeks or even months to be seen, taking time off work, driving to a clinic, finding a parking spot, waiting in the waiting room then the exam room for what is too often a rushed few minutes with a doctor, then making another trip to a pharmacy – we see lots of opportunity to both improve the quality of the experience and give people back valuable time in their days,” said Neil Lindsay, SVP of Amazon Health Services.

Breaking Ground
Repertoire Magazine
July 2022
Louisiana health system touts provider-owned PPE initiative.
By Pete Mercer
Just a little over a year ago, ground was broken to create two new manufacturing facilities in Broussard, Louisiana, in an effort to curb the strain on the PPE supply chain in the United States. Now, SafeSource Direct is fully operational, producing PPE materials.
SafeSource Direct is a joint venture between Trax Development and Ochsner Health, Louisiana’s leading integrated healthcare system, which makes it the only U.S. provider-owned PPE manufacturer with U.S. provider-owned quality control, according to a release. In addition to that, these facilities have created 550 new jobs for Louisiana, with a projected 2,200 new direct and indirect jobs in the pipeline for the next two years.

Heightened Cybersecurity Awareness
Repertoire Magazine
July 2022
The healthcare sector was the victim of more ransomware attacks than any other sector in 2021.
By Daniel Beaird
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has marked Europe’s largest refugee crisis since World War II with more than 6 million Ukrainians fleeing the country. Meanwhile, the war in Ukraine has U.S. health systems and supply chains on high alert for cybersecurity breaches.
Rapid integration of new technologies during the pandemic like telemedicine and remote monitoring technology are heavily relied on now. But the sector is susceptible to cyberattacks due to poor cybersecurity infrastructure.
