Walmart Health has inked its first health system partnership, per Becker’s.
The retail giant’s healthcare arm said Nov. 1 it signed a care coordination agreement with Orlando Health. Walmart Health has 48 healthcare centers adjacent to its stores across five states, offering primary, behavioral and dental care. Twenty-three of them are in Florida, the most of any state, with eight in the Orlando market.
“By collaborating with Walmart Health and focusing on care coordination in the shared patient populations, we’ll be better positioned to more quickly identify patient needs and improve outcomes together in the Orlando area,” said Cary D’Ortona, senior vice president at Orlando Health and president of its medical group.
Walmart Health said the collaboration will help with “effective transitions of care” and boost “value-based outcomes.”
