Walmart is embracing the idea that taking care of yourself should be simple and convenient, right at home.
On Saturday, January 24, the retailer will host its annual Wellness Event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at nearly 4,600 pharmacies nationwide, offering free health screenings, low-cost immunizations, and wellness consultations.
The event is part of Walmart’s broader push to make healthcare more accessible within local communities, bringing together pharmacy and wellness services in one convenient location.
Walmart says on its website that, for more than a decade, the company has held Wellness Events, delivering more than 5 million free health screenings across the country.
“Whether it’s the care you access, the food you buy, or the products you rely on, our goal is to make wellness easier, ” said Ralph Clare, senior vice president, health and wellness merchandising. “Customers should not have to choose between convenience, affordability, and care, and at Walmart, they don’t have to.”
Walmart says the event reflects its ongoing commitment to expanding care options while also rolling back prices on more than 1,000 wellness essentials as the new year begins.
