LOUISVILLE - CenterWell, the health care services business of Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM), today announced plans to lease clinical space and open senior-focused primary care centers at 23 Walmart Supercenter retail stores in Florida, Georgia, Missouri and Texas.

The centers will operate under the CenterWell Senior Primary Care and Conviva Care Centers brand names and will provide seniors in these communities with greater access to primary care services designed specifically for older adults. The new centers will be conveniently located next to Walmart stores in clinical office space that was formerly occupied by Walmart Health. CenterWell expects the centers to be equipped, staffed and opened no later than the first half of 2025. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

'CenterWell is committed to providing seniors with high quality health care that is accessible, comprehensive, and most of all, personalized. 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,' said Sanjay Shetty, M.D., president of CenterWell. 'These nearly two dozen primary care centers are specifically designed for seniors, and each location's design, including dedicated entrances and easy parking, offers patients the access that they have come to expect at our clinics across the nation. We are eager to expand on our mission to help patients lead happier, healthier lives.'

'We are looking forward to welcoming CenterWell into these purpose-built healthcare spaces to offer quality care to communities in four states,' said Brian Setzer, executive vice president, Walmart Health & Wellness. 'Leasing these spaces to a well-known and successful healthcare delivery organization is a win for customers and patients, as we continue to focus on our core health & wellness business of Pharmacy and Optical.'

CenterWell Senior Primary Care, along with its sister brand Conviva Care Centers, represents the largest, fastest-growing senior-focused, value-based primary care provider in the country. Together, the businesses comprise Humana's Primary Care Organization, delivering care to about 318,000 seniors in nearly 300 centers across 15 states as of March 31, 2024. CenterWell Senior Primary Care and Conviva Care Centers locations are designed specifically with the needs of seniors in mind, and include a dedicated staff of board-certified physicians, nurse practitioners and medical assistants that coordinate care alongside care coaches, social workers, behavioral health specialists and clinical pharmacists. These teams are dedicated to treating the unique medical and social needs of seniors and take the time to listen to and partner with patients on their healthcare journey, collaborating on a care plan that is evidence-based and centered on the patient. CenterWell Senior Primary Care and Conviva Care Centers locations accept patients on many different Medicare Advantage health plans, as well as those who have Original Medicare.
