By GlobalDataCenterWell president Sanjay Shetty said: “CenterWell is committed to providing seniors with high-quality healthcare that is accessible, comprehensive and, most of all, personalised.
“We are excited by the unique opportunity to lease space from a world-class community partner such as Walmart and offer seniors in these four states greater access to our integrated approach to care.”
CenterWell Senior Primary Care and Conviva Care Centers are part of Humana’s Primary Care Organization.
As of 31 March this year, the organisation delivered care to around 318,000 older adults across nearly 300 centres in 15 US states.
Each facility will be staffed by a team of board-certified physicians, nurse practitioners, medical assistants, care coaches, social workers, behavioural health specialists and clinical pharmacists.
These teams are committed to addressing the comprehensive medical and social requirements of older adults by developing patient-centred and evidence-based care plans.
Walmart Health & Wellness executive vice-president Brian Setzer said: “We are looking forward to welcoming CenterWell into these purpose-built healthcare spaces to offer quality care to communities in four states.
“Leasing these spaces to a well-known and successful healthcare delivery organisation is a win for customers and patients, as we continue to focus on our core health and wellness business of pharmacy and optical.”
