BENTONVILLE, Ark. — Walmart will be bringing America’s largest health fair back to communities it serves this year, with the first of four Walmart Wellness Day events planned for June 17. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. local time, the retailer will offer free health screenings at its more than 4,600 locations.

This reflects total annual growth of more than 26% per year since 2010, when retail clinics accounted for about $75 million in purchases of these products.
