New Walmart health clinic will see first patients today 

The first Walmart-owned primary care clinic is opening its doors today. The company is among the biggest pharmacy retailers in the U.S., and the new clinic signals Walmart’s continued interest in the health care field. The company already provides some primary care services at Care Clinics in Georgia, South Carolina and Texas, and has leased space to other mental health providers. But the new primary clinic — called Walmart Health and located in Dallas, Ga. — will have a range of both physical and mental health services as well as dental checkups. And unlike the other sites, the clinic will be located just outside the Walmart store to give patients more privacy. The center also accepts a wide range of insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid.
