How it started
History
One Medical was founded by Tom Lee in 2007. The company grew from a single San Francisco clinic to more than 72 locations across the United States, including 29 clinics in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. 1Life Healthcare, Inc. serves as an administrative and managerial services company for physician-owned professional corporations.
In 2017, Amir Rubin succeeded Tom Lee as CEO of One Medical. In 2018, The Carlyle Group invested $350 million in the company. One Medical was also backed by Google's parent company Alphabet Inc.
On January 31, 2020, One Medical began trading on the Nasdaq stock exchange.
During the early stages of vaccine distribution, One Medical was accused of administering the COVID-19 vaccine to ineligible patients in several states. This resulted in a Congressional investigation. The investigation concluded that One Medical sought to use its access to COVID vaccines for financial gain, by pushing those looking for vaccines towards its own paid memberships, and that it provided early access vaccines to those with insider connections at the company.
In September 2021, One Medical acquired Iora Health.
