Insights
The announcement of CenterWell's plans to open 23 new senior primary care centers in collaboration with Walmart is strategically significant for Humana Inc. This initiative aligns with Humana's focus on value-based care and its aim to expand its senior-focused services. By leveraging Walmart's high-traffic locations, CenterWell can potentially increase patient volume and improve accessibility for seniors. This expansion is likely to enhance Humana's revenue streams by drawing in more Medicare Advantage members, which represents a critical growth area for the company. Moreover, the move could bolster Humana's market position against competitors in the healthcare industry. Financially, while the costs associated with leasing and setting up these centers are not disclosed, the potential long-term gains in patient acquisition and retention might justify the initial investment.
This partnership with Walmart positions CenterWell uniquely in the competitive landscape of senior care. Walmart’s brand and extensive retail footprint provide a strategic advantage, offering CenterWell immediate access to a broad demographic of potential patients who may already frequent Walmart stores. The convenience factor for seniors, who often require easy access to healthcare services, cannot be overstated. This initiative also taps into the growing trend of retail health partnerships, which aim to provide more integrated and accessible healthcare solutions. If successful, this model could be replicated in other states, potentially leading to a nationwide expansion. This move indicates a forward-thinking approach, capitalizing on the trend towards integrated health services and the continuous shift towards value-based care models.
From a medical perspective, the opening of these centers is poised to significantly impact senior healthcare. These facilities are designed specifically for the unique needs of older adults, addressing both medical and social determinants of health. The comprehensive care teams, which include physicians, nurse practitioners and behavioral health specialists, promise a holistic approach to senior care. This can lead to better health outcomes by ensuring that the physical, emotional and social needs of seniors are met. Moreover, the integration of care coaches and social workers could reduce hospital readmissions and improve the overall quality of life for patients. This model of care also aligns with emerging best practices in geriatric medicine, which emphasize personalized and coordinated care.
Lease agreement for new CenterWell Senior Primary Care and Conviva Care Centers locations will provide convenient primary care services designed especially for seniors.
“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.
