Walmart to Close All 51 Health Centers, Virtual Care Services in Six States

Apr 30, 2024, 05:23 PM

Walmart has announced the closure of all 51 of its health centers and its virtual care services across six states in the U.S. The decision comes as the company faces rising costs and challenging reimbursement rates, which have rendered the business model unsustainable. The closures, which include both in-person clinics and telehealth services, mark a significant retreat from Walmart's attempt to integrate healthcare services into its retail model. The company has not disclosed how many jobs will be affected by these closures.
