Internal memo: Amazon One Medical CEO leaving to lead a publicly traded healthcare company

Trent Green, the CEO of Amazon’s primary healthcare company, One Medical, is leaving to take a job as CEO of publicly traded National Research Corp., which does business as NRC Health. 

Amazon informed One Medical employees of the news in an email Tuesday afternoon from Neil Lindsay, senior vice president of Amazon Health Services, which was obtained by GeekWire. 

Green, 53, was named CEO of One Medical in September 2023, about six months after Amazon closed its $3.9 billion acquisition of the company. He was One Medical’s COO before that.

His new role NRC Health is expected to allow him to be closer to family. Green grew up in Nebraska, where the company is based.

Green’s last day at Amazon will be April 4, according to the message to employees.

Amazon has not yet named his successor. One Medical employees can expect an update in the coming weeks, Lindsay wrote in the email. Most of Green’s direct reports will report to Lindsay in the meantime.

“After nearly three years with Amazon One Medical, CEO Trent Green has decided to leave the company,” an Amazon spokesperson said in a statement. “We are grateful to Trent for his many contributions and wish him well on his next endeavor.”

During his tenure as CEO, Green oversaw the geographic expansion of One Medical, the launch of the One Medical benefit for Prime members, and One Medical’s integration into Amazon Health Services, which also includes prescription delivery and other healthcare services.  

National Research Corp. reported Green’s appointment in a regulatory filing, noting that its current CEO, Mike Hays, will transition to the role of chairman when Green takes over as CEO.

Green is a 25-year healthcare veteran who was senior vice president and chief operating officer at Legacy Health in Portland, Ore., before becoming COO of One Medical in 2022. 

As noted in a NRC Health news release, Green was named to the TIME100 Most Influential People in Health and ranked #13 on Modern Healthcare’s Top 100 Healthcare Executives list.
