Welcome to Walmed

Welcome to Walmed

In fiscal year 2022, there were approximately 230 million customer visits each week to Walmart stores throughout the world, down from 240 million on a weekly average a year earlier. As of that year, the world's biggest retailer reached around 573 billion U.S. dollars in revenues, and about 568 billion in?net sales.

Retail medicine is growing. Amedzon and Walmed are stealing your primary care market share. Retail PharMed is a competitor so don't confuse them with Walgreens or CVS.

The retail transformation of primary care presents several threats and opportunities. Here are some tips on how to practice retail medicine. Other things to consider are:

  1. Be a greeter as another emerging non-clinical career now that CMS cut the Medicare conversion factor.
  2. Upgrade your hoodie to a colored vest. What color is your parachute?
  3. Don't worry about being perceived as a quiet quitter. Just show up and collect your paycheck. Passion is so overrated.
  4. Are you considering delaying retirement? Walmed wants you.
  5. You have perfected your web side manner. Now, move on to perfecting your drive by manner.

6. Think about making house calls to those patients in RVs in the parking lot. Typically, RV parking at Walmart lots is allowed for 24 hours. Walmart?says?on its website that it “values RV travelers and considers them among our best customers.”

Most RV parks and campgrounds charge an overnight rate, and Walmart lots appeal to travelers looking to save money. Cracker Barrel?(CBRL), Lowe’s?(LOW)?and Cabela’s are also popular stores for overnight parking, but Walmart’s store count dwarfs all three chains.

7. Here's a place to apply for an ecommerce job with Walmed. as a complement to our medical department store

8. Be a patient service rep and deal with all those angry people who mistakenly believed the information about product availability on the Walmed website

9. Here is your guide to Walmed color coded care

10. Apply to the Walmed retail medicine sick care accelerator, venture fund and pitch competition.
