I have read that Walmart is going to close all of its Walmart Health locations. I think there are 3 of them in Jacksonville.

Walmart announced on April 30 that it would close all 51 Walmart Health centers in five states and shut down its virtual health care service because it was "not a sustainable business model."

There are seven health care centers, all next to Walmart Supercenters, in the Jacksonville area:
• 11900 Atlantic Blvd.
• 10991 San Jose Blvd.
• 12100 Lem Turner Road.
• 7075 Collins Road.
• 6830 Normandy Blvd.
• 4250 Philips Highway.
• 1586 Branan Field Road in Middleburg.
Walmart will continue to operate its 4,600 pharmacies and 3,000 optical centers.
"We continue to offer immunizations and have grown to provide Testing and Treatment services, access to specialty pharmacy medication and care, as well as other essential services such as medication therapy management and a variety of health screenings," the release said

I swear the one on Philips opened just like 6 months ago. Pretty good sized building renovation for it too.
I have read that Walmart tried to get into health care two other times before and they failed though there were no health centers in Jacksonville Walmarts. Once in the early 2000s and again around 2014. Walmart Health marks the third time Walmart has tried to get into health care and failed.
