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 our presence in Texas.
“We are thrilled to announce the expansion of Walmart Health
into Oklahoma next year,” said Dr. 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.”
Four Locations in Oklahoma
The state-of-the-art facilities will be approximately 5,750 sq
ft, located beside Walmart Supercenters, and will feature Walmart
Health’s full suite of health services. These services may vary by
location, but include primary care, labs, X-ray and EKG, behavioral
health, dental, hearing, select specialty services, community
health and telehealth.
Each of the health centers will integrate modern equipment and
technology to enable providers and patients alike to experience
best-in-class healthcare technology. This includes integrating
Epic’s electronic health record system across all our Walmart
Health locations.
Walmart is committed to Oklahoma with more than 134 retail
locations and 34,769 associates. The company is excited to meet the
needs of Oklahoma’s residents as the state’s population grows –
according to MacroTrends, in 2022 the population of Oklahoma
surpassed 4 million, increasing 0.72% from 2021.
To meet the needs of busy families, these Walmart Health centers
will offer care seven days a week with convenient weekend and
evening hours as well as telehealth options on Sundays:
- Monday – Friday: 7:30 a.m. – 7:30 p.m.
- Saturday: 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
- Sunday telehealth: 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
