Walmart to close all 51 health centers in 5 states
Walmart announced Tuesday it plans to close all of its health centers across the United States that for five years provided low-cost medical care to patients.
The company will shutter its network of 51 health clinics, which are located in five states, along with its telehealth business. The impending closures signify that Walmart is scuttling its initial plans to expand the services wider, citing the escalating operating costs and "challenging reimbursement environment," the company said in a news release.
"We determined there is not a sustainable business model for us to continue," the company said in a statement. "We understand this change affects lives – the patients who receive care, the associates and providers who deliver care and the communities who supported us along the way."
