Amy Abernethy, MD, chief medical officer and president of product development, is leaving Verily to lead a new healthcare nonprofit, according to her LinkedIn. 

“The decision to leave Verily was difficult, but made easier knowing that we are now actively building what only two and a half years ago was a bold vision,” she wrote. “I am confident that the vision, roadmaps and plans are in place; the team is awesome; the progress astonishing.” 

At Verily, Ms. Abernethy oversaw teams that developed and delivered solutions that bridge the gap between clinical research and care. 

This comes shortly after Alphabet said in October that it would be laying off an unknown number of employees at Verily.  

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
