The e-retailer agreed last July to acquire One Medical to deepen its presence in health care.
The purchase was the first major deal announced since CEO Andy Jassy took the helm from founder Jeff Bezos, and Jassy has indicated he sees health care as a major area of expansion. In a statement, he said health care is ripe for disruption, citing long appointment times and the complexities of primary care.
"Customers want and deserve better, and that's what One Medical has been working and innovating on for more than a decade," Jassy said in a statement.

The closing comes after a deadline passed for the Federal Trade Commission to challenge the deal. The acquisition had been undergoing an in-depth review at the FTC for the past several months. Last September, the agency sent Amazon and One Medical a so-called "second request" for more information about the deal, according to
