If you’ve been meaning to check in on your health but haven’t made the time, Walmart is making it easier—and more affordable—than ever.
This Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., more than 4,600 Walmart locations across the country will host a free Wellness Day event.
Shoppers can walk in for no-cost health screenings, vaccinations, and consultations with pharmacists, all without the need for insurance or appointments.
It’s part of Walmart’s ongoing effort to expand access to basic healthcare, particularly in communities where options may be limited.
Whether you’re interested in monitoring your blood pressure, getting your flu shot, or simply asking a question about your medications, this weekend offers an opportunity to prioritize your health at no cost.
The free services being offered go beyond just a quick blood pressure check. Here’s what you can expect:
All of these services are completely free, with no insurance or sign-up required.
Since 2014, Walmart’s Wellness Days have provided services to more than five million people across the US.
These events are designed to bring accessible, preventive healthcare directly into communities.
As Walmart notes, its pharmacists are among the most trusted local healthcare providers, and this program helps bridge gaps for those who might not otherwise receive care.
Beyond Wellness Day, Walmart has been expanding its pharmacy and healthcare offerings:
There’s no need to register in advance—simply visit your local Walmart between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. this Saturday.
To confirm if your store is hosting the event, check Walmart’s website or call ahead.
While you’re there, you may also learn about Walmart+, the store’s membership program.
It offers benefits such as free delivery, fuel discounts, and more.
New customers can even test it out with a 30-day free trial.
Events like Walmart Wellness Day give people the chance to take preventive steps that might otherwise be delayed or skipped.
Screenings can identify issues early, immunizations keep families safe, and conversations with pharmacists can help clear up confusion about medications.
With healthcare costs rising, opportunities like these can make a real difference.
