MeMD marks official transition to Walmart Health family following its acquisition in 2021

MeMD, a multi-specialty national telehealth provider, today announced its name change to Walmart Health Virtual Care as part of its official transition to the Walmart Health family. The name change marks the final stages of MeMD’s acquisition by Walmart Health, which was initially announced in May 2021.

“In this next evolution of MeMD, we are excited to begin officially delivering services as Walmart Health Virtual Care, bringing affordable, high-quality telehealth options to as many organizations as possible,” said Bill Goodwin, head of Walmart Health Virtual Care. “This is also a win for our current patients and employers who will have access to a wide range of additional health offerings under the Walmart Health umbrella.”

Walmart Health Virtual Care provides enterprise-level organizations and groups nationwide with access to telehealth services, including urgent care, primary care and behavioral healthcare, complementing brick-and-mortar Walmart Health centers where patients can access in-person care. Walmart Health Virtual Care will be available in our Florida Walmart Health centers and expand to existing centers over the next several months.

Now under the umbrella of Walmart Health, Walmart Health Virtual Care will continue its track-record of innovating and redefining the telehealth landscape.
