6 primary care centers for seniors to open at Walmarts around Tampa

Six senior-focused primary care centers will be opening in the Tampa area in the next year adjacent to Walmart Supercenters. 

CenterWell, the health care services business of Humana, will operate the centers under the brand names CenterWell Senior Primary Care and Conviva Care Centers. The centers will be located in clinical office space formerly occupied by Walmart Health, according to a statement.

Walmart Health announced in April that it was closing all of its locations, including nine in the Tampa Bay area. It cited lack of profitability amid a “challenging reimbursement environment and escalating operating costs” in making the decision to shutter.
