"Customers are responding favorably to the convenience of Walmart Health, which provides one central location for primary and urgent care, labs, x-ray and diagnostics, counseling, dental, optical and hearing services with hours in the evening and on weekends. We regularly have customers tell us they had ‘no idea health care could be so affordable,’ and they really like the convenience of ‘getting all my care in one visit.’"

Lori Flees, SVP and COO, Walmart U.S. Health & Wellness, writing last month on the company’s blog about the success and outlook for the new Walmart Health format, which now counts six locations across the U.S. and is growing rapidly.
