Walmart to expand health centers to Arkansas this month

Alia Paavola -

Walmart will open two more standalone health clinics this month, including a site in Arkansas, the company said June 17. 

The health clinics, called Walmart Health, will offer primary care, imaging, lab, dental and behavioral health services. 

The health clinics opening this month will be in Loganville, Ga., and Springdale, Ark. The Loganville Walmart Health opened June 17. The first Arkansas location will open June 24. 

The company already has clinics in the Georgia cities of Dallas and Calhoun.

Walmart said it believes that expanding the standalone clinics will help bring affordable, quality healthcare to more Americans, because 90 percent of them live within 10 miles of a Walmart store. 

"Patients have responded favorably to our low, transparent pricing for key healthcare services, regardless of insurance status," Walmart's senior vice president of health and wellness, Sean Slovenski wrote in a blog post. "They're also appreciative of the convenience of our facilities that offer primary and urgent care, labs, X-ray and diagnostics, counseling, dental, optical and hearing services, all in one central facility."
