Amazon may be opening primary care clinics for its employees located right at its Seattle headquarters, according to an article on the CNBC website.
The company is reportedly looking into hiring a small number of doctors to start a pilot clinic later this year for a small group of employees and then expand it to more workers in early 2019.
Amazon was previously looking to outsource its clinics and brought vendors in to pitch their services. After numerous rounds of discussions, Amazon ultimately decided to develop clinics internally.
In January, Amazon announced a partnership with J.P. Morgan Chase and Berkshire Hathaway to improve the quality of care and bring down costs.
