The Walmart Wellness Event arrives at all nine Walmart locations across Hawaiʻi this weekend, giving families a convenient way to check key health metrics, explore immunization options, and take care of wellness needs while shopping for back-to-school supplies.

On the Big Island, the free annual summer wellness event runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on July 25 at the Hilo and Kailua-Kona Walmart stores. Walk-ins are welcome and no registration is required, according to the company.

Shoppers can access a range of health screenings, connect with in-store pharmacists, and learn about resources that support overall well-being. The Walmart Wellness Event is intended to make preventive care more accessible and affordable during the busy back-to-school season.

What customers can expect

• Free health screenings: Blood pressure and body mass index checks.
• Immunizations: No-cost flu shots for those covered by most major insurance plans, plus affordable vaccines including RSV, shingles, tetanus, HPV, and others.
• Guidance: Walmart pharmacists offering nutrition insights, medication support, and personalized recommendations.
• Eyesight checks: Complimentary vision screenings.
• Curated wellness sample boxes: While supplies last, boxes with nutritious snacks, vitamins, supplements, and other essentials.

With growing interest in glucagon-like peptide-1, or GLP-1, medications that mimic a natural hormone to help regulate blood sugar, slow digestion, and increase feelings of fullness, Walmart will also provide resources for customers seeking information on weight management. That includes guidance from pharmacists and access to additional wellness support.
