“We know that when health care is tough, many people don’t get the care they need. We can fix that,” said Kevin Host, senior vice president, health and wellness, pharmacy. “Better Care Services is about making wellness simple and affordable to fit into your life; we remove barriers so more people can get the care they deserve, exactly when they need it.”
By means of Better healthcare services customers will have direct access to and access to a curated network of third-party providers for urgent care and behavioral health care LillyDirect . Once a same-day consultation is completed, Walmart’s flexible pickup and delivery options, including free delivery for Walmart+ members, help customers obtain their prescriptions and over-the-counter needs through a health journey that starts and ends at Walmart. Beginning January 15, customers will have access to a limited-time $15 discount on select telehealth services with participating providers.
Because good nutrition is one of the best ways to protect and improve health, the platform is also present Walmart’s food hub powered by Walmart’s Everyday Health Signals℠, an opt-in, AI-powered experience that delivers personalized nutrition and recipe recommendations to support healthier, budget-friendly choices.
To help customers reach their health goals, Walmart is also lowering prices on more than 1,000 wellness-focused items. The rollbacks include food, supplements, over-the-counter products and fitness supplies, delivering significant savings at a time when nearly 60% of Walmart shoppers say saving money is a top priority.
Walmart continues to expand its wellness lineup with new products in several categories, including Never mind vitamins & supplements, BelliWelli fiber gummies, David high protein bars, Seven Sundays muesli, Oikos Pro Fusion drinks and Our rings.
Customers can also explore more than 400 affordable “New Year’s Reset” options recipes online plus expanded options for popular special diets such as keto, high protein and gluten-free. Walmart launched bettergoods, a high-quality, chef-inspired new private label, which includes a range of plant-based and ‘made without’ items, with 70% of items under $5, and recently announced plans to remove synthetic dyes, certain preservatives and fat substitutes from all of its Walmart household food brands by January next year.
Walmart’s wellness commitment extends to local communities. On Saturday, January 24, Walmart 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 vaccinations and wellness consultations. Walmart has been hosting wellness events for more than a decade, delivering more than 5 million free screenings in communities across the country.
“Whether it’s the care you access, the food you buy or the products you depend on, our goal is to make wellness easier,” said Ralph Clare, senior vice president, health and wellness merchandising. “Customers shouldn’t have to choose between convenience, affordability and care, and at Walmart they don’t have to either.”
