BENTONVILLE, Arkansas — Building on its ongoing commitment to simplifying care, Walmart continues its 2026 health momentum with The Wellness Event — a free, nationwide health and wellness experience taking place Saturday, Jan. 24 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Walmart stores across the country.
Designed to help customers feel informed, supported and energized, the event brings together Walmart’s pharmacy, vision and wellness teams for essential health screenings, guidance and access to affordable or no-cost immunizations*.
This year’s event also offers exclusive wellness sample boxes filled with nutrition-forward snacks, supplements and curated items to help customers jump-start and sustain healthier habits throughout 2026. Walmart has also lowered prices on over 1,000 wellness products.
As customers pursue their health goals for the year ahead, Walmart deepens its role as a trusted, community-focused wellness destination.
With more than 4,000 stores in areas experiencing medical provider shortages, Walmart’s omnichannel approach – including in-store pharmacies and Vision Centers, a wide assortment of wellness products, online tools, enhanced delivery options and private Health Services rooms – ensures convenient, accessible care wherever customers are.
Since 2014, Walmart’s wellness events have delivered more than 5 million free health screenings, underscoring its commitment to supporting healthier communities nationwide.
“A fresh year brings fresh motivation, and The Wellness Event is our way of helping customers turn that motivation into meaningful action,” said Kevin Host, Senior Vice President of Pharmacy at Walmart.
“With convenient, trusted care and everyday wellness solutions, we’re committed to meeting people where they are and supporting their health goals in practical, affordable ways.”
Earlier this month, Walmart announced the launch of Better Care Services, which give customers instant access to a curated network of third-party, virtual care providers. Select providers are currentlyoffering a $15 discount on certain telehealth services.
These initiatives showcase Walmart’s commitment to simplifying care, trust and wellness in the communities we serve.
To make staying on track even simpler, Walmart Pharmacy Delivery brings prescriptions and everyday essentials straight to customers’ doors — reaching more than 95% of U.S. households, with express delivery available in as fast as 30 minutes.
What customers can expect on Jan. 24:
- Free health screenings including blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose and BMI at nearly 4,600 Walmart pharmacies.
- Complimentary vision screenings at select Vision Center locations.
- No-cost flu shots* plus affordable immunizations such as RSV, shingles, tetanus, HPV and more.
