I live in exactly the right location to see the outcome of a grand experiment. The pilot Walmart Supercenter is located in Dallas, Georgia. So am I.
On Friday the 13th, the CEO of Walmart cut the ribbon at the grand opening. Sadly, I only learned about this grand opening on the morning of September 14. There had been no publicity while the store was being remodeled over the last 12 months.
So, what you are about to read is based on original research conducted on the cheap on the afternoon of September 14.
1. A Right-Hand Turn
My house is about 60 seconds from the highway.
If I turn to the right and drive approximately 1.7 miles, I arrive at the Walmart Supercenter.
I walked into this Supercenter through a new wing: Walmart Health. There, I found a health care delivery system that is far more comprehensive than the standard walk-in clinics that have sprung up in America's mini-malls. Here is what is available.
- Primary care
- Dental
- Counseling
- Labs & x-rays
- Health screening
- Optometry
- Hearing
- Fitness & nutrition
- Health insurance education & enrollment
I have seen it. I am impressed.
Here is Walmart's press release.
The Walmart Health center will offer low, transparent pricing for key health services to provide great care at a great value, regardless of insurance coverage. Customers will be notified on the estimated cost of their visit when they book their appointment.
The Walmart Health center will be operated by qualified medical professionals, including physicians, nurse practitioners, dentists, behavioral health providers, and optometrists. Walmart Care Hosts and Community Health Workers onsite will help customers navigate their visit, understand resources and be a familiar presence for regular visits.

WHAT?!!?!?!?
did you get a new tongue too?!?
What did they do?
That’s funny, but when I was working I had a GOLD PLAN you wouldn’t believe. And yes, it was government provided. My son followed in the family biz and has the same plan for his family.
You’re right... maybe someone should have gone to a large city dentist. That has the feel of ‘small town’ with two dentists...
My buddy the dentist has flat out told me that cleanings are nothing more than a way to find SOMETHING wrong with the patient’s teeth.
He compared it to an automotive “free inspection” at a mechanic. You know they are going to find something wrong.
He also admitted to filling “cavities” that were “potentially” worrisome.
I would bet a similar thing goes on in all medical practices.
“He compared it to an automotive “free inspection” at a mechanic. You know they are going to find something wrong.”
Or scare you by making up the “something wrong”.
BEWARE OF FREE STUFF !
