Mercy will continue expanding its Arkansas footprint to make care more convenient and reach additional consumers where they already are with three new Mercy Primary Care locations in former Walmart Health centers inside Walmart Supercenters.
Mercy anticipates opening the three Arkansas Mercy Primary Care locations by late summer.

The clinics will offer primary care – not urgent care – with appointments and walk-in availability during regular hours, which will be updated when the clinics open.
The former Walmart Health centers in Arkansas closed operations on June 28. Mercy will offer employment opportunities to current associates and providers at these three locations. Mercy will lease former Walmart Health spaces in Arkansas and will solely run the clinics; Walmart will not be involved in the provision or oversight of care.
