Fox News reports that Walmart plans to open “28 new Walmart Health center locations next year. This includes expanding into two new states – Missouri and Arizona – and deepening its presence in Texas … By the end of the 2024, the Arkansas-based company plans to have more than 75 Walmart health centers across the United States.”
