Amazon One Medical partners with Baptist. What it means for South Florida patients
In a partnership announced Tuesday, Amazon One Medical has agreed to refer all of its primary care patients in South Florida who need follow-up to Baptist Health South Florida specialists and outpatient facilities.
The partnership between the South Florida health system and Amazon’s medical arm benefits both entities, and some of the 900,000 patients who access virtual and in-person primary care through their Amazon Prime membership. The partnership becomes effective as of Aug. 1.
“We are two innovative organizations looking to advance the way healthcare is delivered,” said Nancy Batista-Rodriguez, chief executive officer of Baptist Outpatient Services. “Healthcare is not easy to navigate, and we have specialized institutes where their patients will be able to get follow-up care.”
