Congratulations, One Medical

By David Singer

In an age where technology and healthcare are continuously merging to provide better care, we extend a big congratulations to One Medical on their public listing on Nasdaq this morning as they further their mission to bring an exceptional healthcare experience to all.

We began working with the One Medical team in 2011, and the core belief that drew us to them remains true today; the primary care experience in America is broken, and primary care is the critical component of effective preventative medicine and appropriate utilization of downstream resources. It was that simple in 2011 and remains that simple in 2020.

What is much more difficult is to actually deliver on the promise of better primary care for consumers, and that difficult job has been done by the OneMedical team, for many years under the visionary founder Tom Lee and more recently under Amir Rubin’s leadership. Tom, Amir and the team deserve all the credit.
