Walmart’s health centers to make Oklahoma debut in 2024

Walmart Health is in an expansion mode. 

Families in Oklahoma can now experience convenient access to healthcare with the opening of four new Walmart Health centers in the Oklahoma City area. The openings mark Walmart Health’s expansion into the state, the third new state Walmart Health is entering in 2024, in addition to Missouri and Arizona, as well as deepening its presence in Texas.

“We are thrilled to announce the expansion of Walmart Health into Oklahoma next year,” said David Carmouche, senior vice president of omnichannel care offerings at Walmart. “Walmart Health exists to help Walmart customers live better by providing convenient access to affordable, high quality healthcare services for both insured and uninsured Oklahomans alike. Knowing that access to comprehensive primary care, dental care and behavioral health services is a challenge in many communities, it is our hope that this one-stop model will help solve this challenge for our neighbors in Oklahoma City. Providing these services in a place where many already live and shop and co-locating them by pharmacy and vision services and next to healthy foods in the Walmart grocery section is intentional. We can coordinate unique and impactful healthcare experiences.”
