Rushika Fernandopulle founded Iora Health, which was acquired by One Medical and subsequently by Amazon. Could Amazon ever achieve Iora's health equity goals? In this episode we discuss what a "successful" exit looks like for health equity under our current capitalistic structures, and what happens after you exit.
