Walmart and CoxHealth today announced the Ozarks’ newest location of “The Clinic at Walmart” operated by CoxHealth. This convenient care clinic will open Monday, June 13, inside the Walmart located at 2825 N. Kansas Expressway in Springfield.
The clinic will provide convenient, affordable access to basic health care services seven days a week, with no appointment necessary. The walk-in health clinic is the fifth owned and operated by CoxHealth in a Walmart. The clinic will be open for walk-in care Monday through Saturday 10 a.m.-7 p.m., and Sunday 11 a.m.-4 p.m.
For busy customers who need care, especially after working hours or on weekends, the clinic will treat common health ailments and offer routine services. These include acne, bladder infections, blood sugar testing, camp and school physicals, cholesterol screening, common vaccinations, earaches, flu, insect bites and stings, minor wounds, sinus infections, upper respiratory infections, wart removal and more.
“We know that seven-day-a-week walk-in clinics fill a community need for convenient and affordable care. That’s why we’re working with Walmart to expand access to that kind of quality care for all residents in our area,” said David Taylor, vice president of CoxHealth Regional Services.
“Walmart is dedicated to serving our customers and our communities, and this type of clinic helps expand their access to quality health care,” said Bruce Shepard, Walmart’s director of healthcare innovations. “CoxHealth is a highly respected health care provider with experience operating walk-in clinics in our stores, so we know this will serve our customers well.”
