Amazon.com Inc. is starting a health referral service that seeks to link patients to virtual visits with providers who treat conditions like acne, hair loss and allergies.
The initiative, called Amazon Clinic, is the Seattle company’s latest effort to break into health care. It already operates an online pharmacy, and is in the process of buying 1Life Healthcare Inc., which manages clinics under the One Medical brand, for $3.49 billion.
