Walmart Expands Healthcare Reach with Three New Centers in Texas

USA: Walmart has inaugurated three new Walmart Health centers in Texas, offering residents affordable and integrated healthcare services. These centers are part of Walmart’s broader initiative to enhance access to healthcare across communities.

Comprehensive Healthcare Offerings

The Walmart Health centers, launched in 2019, provide a range of services, including primary care, dental, behavioral health, labs, x-ray, community health, and telehealth. 

Dr. David Carmouche, SVP of healthcare delivery at Walmart, emphasized the importance of these centers in increasing access to integrated care. He stated, “Today’s grand opening of Walmart Health in Sugar Land, Texas, marks the 50th location in the United States, an important milestone in our effort to increase access to integrated care.”

These centers aim to cater to certain senior populations, offering value-based care and streamlined services for annual check-ups, dental cleanings, and chronic condition management. 

Dr. Carmouche highlighted, “We are excited to deepen Walmart Health’s presence in Texas beginning in April in Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth. With the population of Texas continuing to grow, these Walmart Health centers will help address the demand for easy to access care for all seniors and their families.”

Expansion Plans and Locations

Walmart’s expansion plans include opening additional health centers in Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, and other areas across Texas throughout the summer and fall. The company is also set to enter the Kansas City, Mo., market with four new clinics by the year’s end.

The Walmart Health centers will operate seven days a week, including weekends and evenings, with telehealth options available on Sundays. Patients can schedule appointments, input insurance information, and confirm eligibility through the walmarthealth.com website.

Walmart’s Healthcare Initiative

With 50 locations across multiple states, Walmart Health aims to enhance access to healthcare services for millions of customers. Walmart’s extensive reach, spanning over 10,500 stores and numerous e-commerce websites globally, underscores its commitment to providing accessible healthcare solutions.

As Walmart continues to expand its healthcare footprint, the new Walmart Health centers in Texas represent a significant step towards increasing healthcare accessibility and affordability for communities across the state.
