Customers now have more ways to save money and
live healthier lives
Families in the Calhoun, Ga., area can now experience a
remodeled Walmart Supercenter that’s offering customers new ways to
save money, while living better – and healthier – lives,
through the opening of the second ever Walmart Health center.
Located at 448 W. Belmont Dr., adjacent to the Supercenter, the
community will celebrate the new addition during a grand opening
Wednesday, Jan. 29.
This state-of-the-art facility provides quality, affordable and
accessible healthcare for members of the Calhoun community so they
can get the right care at the right time. Walmart Health is
partnering with several on-the-ground health providers to be a
first-of-its-kind health center to deliver primary and urgent care,
labs, x-ray and diagnostics, counseling, dental, optical and
hearing services all in one facility at affordable, transparent
pricing regardless of a patient’s insurance status.
“We think we can make an impactful difference in affordability,
convenience and, most importantly, accessibility for the Calhoun
community,” said Sean Slovenski, SVP and President of Walmart U.S.
Health and Wellness. “We have a history of launching innovative
products and programs that have transformed the industry and
created significant healthcare savings for customers. Now, we’re
focused on a solution to provide affordable integrated care that
our customers want and deserve.”
The Calhoun Walmart Health center is the second such location
the retailer has opened. The first opened last September in Dallas,
Ga. Walmart Health is operated by qualified medical professionals,
including physicians, nurse practitioners, dentists, behavioral
health providers and optometrists. Walmart Care Hosts and Community
Health Workers onsite will help customers navigate their visit,
understand resources and be a familiar presence for regular
visits.
As part of the grand opening celebration, Walmart announced it
will make a donation to Susan G. Komen to help meet women’s health
needs through expanded access to care, including mammogram
screenings, education and support services for underserved and
at-risk patients in Georgia.
The Supercenter also has gone through a remodel, and customers
can expect a whole new look and experience with the launch of new
Vision Center and Pharmacy concepts that aim to drive an enhanced
patient experience.
The new pharmacy is designed with the customer in mind,
integrating feedback from thousands of customers to put
convenience, simplicity and elevated service at the forefront in
the redesigned space.
Walmart has created a Vision Center experience designed around
the customer that is convenient, comfortable and affordable,
featuring multiple service areas so customers can decide how and
where they want to receive service.
“We are looking forward to re-introducing our store to the
community with a fresh look,” said Michael Boling, Calhoun Walmart
store manager. “Our store is committed to be a center of wellbeing
in the community through our assortment of organic products and
groceries and health and wellness offerings at everyday low prices,
and we are excited Walmart Health just opened to offer healthcare
services to our customers.”
