Walmart to close 51 clinics as it shutters its entire Walmart Health division

Walmart will close all 51 of its doctor-staffed health clinics as part of an announcement that its Walmart Health initiative is shutting down. The clinics, located in Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois and Texas, had been open just a few years. Walmart also said Tuesday it is winding down its virtual care option. Walmart pharmacies and vision centers will not be affected.

“Through our experience managing Walmart Health centers and Walmart Health Virtual Care, we determined there is not a sustainable business model for us to continue,” the company said in an announcement Tuesday announcing the move. Offering health care services has proven difficult for nontraditional providers. Last month, Walgreens said it had closed 140 of its VillageMD primary care clinics, with plans to shutter 20 more.
