Walmart Health is closing down
Walmart Health Centers and Walmart Health Virtual Care, which launched as Covid-19 was emerging, are now facing closure after a short five-year stint.
In a press release issued by the retail giant, Walmart has announced the termination of these services citing the unsustainability of the Walmart Health buisness model.
Despite the company’s efforts to make “meaningful impacts with patients” over the past five years, all 51 health centers across five states as well as the virtual care offering have now been pulled from the market.Walmart shutters Health business
According to Walmart, pressures from a challenging reimbursement environment and increasing operating costs ultimately led to the demise of its Health business, which was still in its infancy.
