The Clinic at Walmart opens in Ozark July 6
Today, Walmart and CoxHealth announced a third location of “The Clinic at Walmart” operated by CoxHealth, to be located in the Ozark Walmart supercenter, 2004 W. Marler Lane. This convenient care clinic will open Monday, July 6. The location will offer the same fast, affordable access to basic health care services available at the Springfield and Republic locations.
“Our existing clinics have seen a steady demand from patients who seem to appreciate the accessibility and affordability of ‘The Clinic at Walmart’ operated by CoxHealth,” says Tom Luthy, administrative director of CoxHealth Regional Services. “We’re excited to continue to bring this model of care into more of the communities surrounding Springfield.”
The clinics serve as an alternative for people at least 18 months old who are sick enough to need care, but aren’t sick enough to need the level of care available in an emergency department or urgent care clinic. The clinics are also an affordable option for patients who might otherwise postpone or avoid care because they lack insurance or have concerns about the cost.
The clinics offer upfront pricing and prompt access to acute and preventive care for common health ailments treatable without urgent or emergency care, including sore throats, sinus infections, upper respiratory infections, earaches, bladder infections, insect bites and stings, cholesterol screening, blood sugar testing, vaccinations, drug screening and routine physicals. Clinics offer walk-in service seven days a week and evening hours.
Walmart has 32 in-store clinics in nine states. For further information about “The Clinic at Walmart”, please visit www.walmart.com/clinics. For more information about CoxHealth, please visit www.coxhealth.com.
