In late June, Walgreens announced plans to close a substantial number of stores and reduce its investment in VillageMD following a disappointing earnings release. Separately, Amazon announced that it is folding its pay-per-visit Amazon Clinic service into One Medical.

These moves reinforce the trend of a year of retrenchment for primary care disruptors, following the news earlier this year that Walmart Health and Optum Virtual Care were closing shop (covered in a May edition of The Strategist).
