Ten locations in North Texas are among 18 new Walmart Health Centers in the state that will open this year to offer convenient healthcare options to customers, the company announced.
Walmart said that locations in Pearland, Sugar Land, and Tomball have already opened as the first three centers to debut in Texas this year.
“Today’s grand opening of Walmart Health in Sugar Land, Texas marks the 50th location in the United States, an important milestone in our effort to increase access to integrated care,” Dr. David Carmouche, SVP of Healthcare Delivery at Walmart, said in a statement. “We’re excited to deepen Walmart Health’s presence in Texas beginning in April in Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth. With the population of Texas continuing to grow, these Walmart Health centers will help address the demand for easy to access care for all seniors and their families.”

The other new Walmart Health centers in Texas will be opening throughout the summer and fall, the company said. They are “state-of-the-art facilities” of roughly 5,400 square feet each, located beside Walmart Supercenters, and will feature a range of health services all under one roof.
Offering a range of services, including value-based care for seniors
The services may vary by location, Walmart said, but include same-day primary care, dental, behavioral health, labs, X-ray, community health, and telehealth.
The company said that Walmart Health centers in Texas will offer value-based care for certain senior populations, where board-certified providers will “make it easy for seniors to get annual check-ups, dental cleanings, and support managing chronic conditions—all in one location with flexible scheduling options.”
Walmart said that to meet the needs of busy families, seniors, and their caregivers, rhw Walmart Health centers will offer care seven days a week, with weekend and evening hours as well as telehealth options on Sundays. The company said that patients can begin making appointments now, input insurance information, and confirm eligibility at walmarthealth.com.
First launched in 2019, Walmart Health offers omnichannel access to care seven days a week at convenient hours via in-person centers and Walmart Health Virtual Care. Walmart Health has 50 locations in Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, and Texas.
