In the future most likely they will. This is the very beginning.

I’ve known some employees and have read about some cases.
LOL! Oh, you should have told us sooner about what an expert you are on Walmart (disgruntled?) employees

WOW! what great prices!
walmart can certainly make a substantial contribution in health clinics (as walmart already does in pharmacy, etc)

this looks like a real game-changer! and then we can really dump ZeroCare, thank heaven!

Retail health services. What a concept. They are also offering veterinary services I hear.

I do my best to avoid walmart as much as possible. Very poor customer service, very poor employee treatment, treat customers like barnyard animals with their corrals at the exits, attempts to control what you eat and how to pay for it, lies about unions, doesn’t support America..major chinese distributor..and I could more to the list, but others have already mentioned other things.

From your comment, it does appear that you feel a need to defend it.

I’m waiting for Amazon to take over prescription services and cutting out the price gouging middlemen. Home delivery and 90 day supply. It is time for a change.

I suspect this $25 dental cleaning is just a 15-minute quick-job by a local dental technician making minimum wage, and probably dodges fifty-percent of what you’d receive at a regular dentist. However, for most folks, it’s probably adequate.

“doesn’t support America.”

Showing their anti Bill of Rights stance by announcing their elimination of “assault rifle” ammunition sales.

Corporations seldom have a moral compass. “The love of money ...” comes to mind.

My regular dentist uses ultrasound and an occasional scrape. Rarely takes more than ten minutes.

I suspect they’re using several nurse practitioners for one MD. Properly organized you can handle a sizable drop-in workload with that set-up. Quick accurate triage is the key.

Walmart is known for getting employees hurt...

Yeah, you are so right, a LOT of people show up for WalMart job fairs so they can be hurt.... So many stupid people want jobs where they are hurt by their employer...Go figure.

Cool, My local Walmart had a video conferencing Doc setup for awhile. I think first “visit” was $5.00. It was for minor things. Haven’t noticed the signs for it in awhile.

We have been customers of Walmart pharmacies for 30 years and that has not been true in the three small Texas towns we’ve lived in during that time. We are hoping they open a Walmart Heathcare Center close to us, since they will provide care that we cannot get within 40 miles of our rural community.
