Walmart to close all 51 health clinics, virtual care service

Walmart is closing all 51 of its health centers and its virtual health care service, the company said Tuesday.

The decision came after Walmart determined it could not create a sustainable business model, according to a company release.

“We understood the need, but we made the decision that, in the end, this was not going to be a sustainable business for us,” a Walmart spokesperson told CNN.

Walmart Health offered services, including primary care, labs, X-rays, behavioral health, dental, and hearing, at locations in Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, and Texas. Walmart launched its health centers in 2019 and its virtual health care service in 2023.

“Through our experience, we’ve learned there is not a sustainable business model for us to continue,” Walmart said in its release. “This is a difficult decision, and we are proud of the care we provided to the communities we served.”

All facilities will be closed in the next 45 to 90 days, Walmart said. Virtual care services have already ceased as of Tuesday.

Walmart said it will assist affected customers in transitioning to other providers. Employees will be paid for 90 days and are eligible for severance benefits. They will also be given the opportunity to transfer to other Walmart or Sam’s Club locations.

Walmart’s exit from health services follows similar moves by other retailers, including Walgreens and CVS, who have scaled back or shuttered their health care ambitions.

由于沃尔玛公司认为无法建立可持续的商业模式，该公司于上周二宣布，将关闭其全部51家健康中心以及虚拟医疗保健服务。

据外媒CNN报道，沃尔玛发言人表示：“我们了解这一需求，但最终我们认为，这对我们来说不是一项可持续的业务。”

沃尔玛健康中心在阿肯色州、佛罗里达州、佐治亚州、伊利诺伊州和得克萨斯州提供包括初级保健、实验室、X光、行为健康、牙科和听力等服务。沃尔玛于2019年开设了其健康中心，并于2023年推出了虚拟医疗保健服务。

沃尔玛在一份声明中表示：“通过我们的经验，我们了解到，我们无法继续维持可持续的商业模式。这是一个艰难的决定，我们为我们为所服务的社区提供的护理感到自豪。”

沃尔玛表示，所有设施将在未来45至90天内关闭。虚拟护理服务已于上周二停止。

沃尔玛表示，将协助受影响的客户过渡到其他供应商。员工将获得90天的工资，并有资格获得遣散费。他们还将有机会调到其他沃尔玛或山姆会员店工作。

沃尔玛退出医疗保健服务之前，其他零售商，包括Walgreens和CVS，也缩减或关闭了其医疗保健业务。

考虑到医疗健康产业的发展，以及零售巨头在该领域的探索，国内相关从业人员可以关注此类动态，以便更好地了解行业发展趋势，把握市场机遇。

Amazon plans drone deliveries in College Station, Texas, later this year

Amazon plans to launch drone deliveries in College Station, Texas, later this year, the company said Wednesday.

The company already has drone delivery operations in Lockeford, California, and in the Bryan-College Station area in Texas. The new College Station location is different as it will be more integrated with the city, said Amazon spokesperson Kat Mayfield.

The drones will take off from and land at a facility that’s integrated into an existing Amazon fulfillment center. That means Amazon will be able to fulfill more orders faster, Mayfield said.

The company aims to deliver thousands of items by drone each year in College Station, Mayfield said.

“We’re excited to bring drone delivery to College Station,” she said. “We think it will be a great addition to the community.”

Amazon is working with the Federal Aviation Administration to get the necessary approvals for the new drone delivery location. The company hopes to begin drone deliveries in College Station by the end of this year, Mayfield said.

Amazon has been working on drone delivery technology for several years. The company first announced its plans to use drones for deliveries in 2013.

外媒消息，亚马逊公司于上周三表示，计划今年晚些时候在得克萨斯州大学城启动无人机送货服务。

亚马逊已经在加利福尼亚州洛克福德以及得克萨斯州布莱恩-大学城地区开展了无人机送货业务。亚马逊发言人Kat Mayfield表示，新的大学城地点有所不同，因为它将更多地与城市融合。

无人机将从一个与现有亚马逊物流中心集成的设施起飞和降落。Mayfield说，这意味着亚马逊将能够更快地完成更多订单。

Mayfield说，该公司计划每年在大学城用无人机运送数千件商品。

她说：“我们很高兴将无人机送货服务带到大学城。我们认为这将是对社区的一个很好的补充。”

亚马逊正在与美国联邦航空管理局合作，以获得新的无人机送货地点所需的批准。该公司希望在今年年底前开始在大学城进行无人机送货。

亚马逊已经研发无人机送货技术多年。该公司于2013年首次宣布了使用无人机进行送货的计划。

考虑到无人机技术在物流领域的应用前景，以及亚马逊在该领域的探索，国内相关从业人员可以关注此类动态，以便更好地了解行业发展趋势，把握市场机遇。

Temu loses appeal to block Shein lawsuit over alleged trademark violations

Temu has lost its appeal to block a lawsuit brought by Shein accusing the rival fast-fashion retailer of trademark violations and deceptive business practices.

A Massachusetts federal judge rejected Temu’s motion to dismiss the case and pause discovery while its appeal was pending, according to court documents.

Shein sued Temu last year, alleging that Temu “knowingly and intentionally” infringed on Shein’s trademarks by selling products that were confusingly similar to Shein’s products. Shein also accused Temu of engaging in deceptive business practices by falsely advertising its products as being of higher quality than they actually are.

Temu has denied the allegations and argued that Shein’s lawsuit is an attempt to stifle competition. Temu also argued that the court should dismiss the case because Shein’s trademarks are not valid.

The judge rejected Temu’s arguments and ruled that Shein has presented enough evidence to support its claims. The judge also ruled that Shein’s trademarks are valid.

The case will now proceed to discovery, where both sides will be able to gather evidence and take depositions. A trial date has not yet been set.

外媒消息，Temu的上诉被驳回，该上诉旨在阻止Shein提起的诉讼，该诉讼指控这家竞争对手的快时尚零售商存在商标侵权和欺骗性商业行为。

根据法庭文件，马萨诸塞州的一名联邦法官驳回了Temu驳回此案并暂停审前程序的动议，因为其上诉正在等待审理。

Shein去年起诉Temu，指控Temu“明知且故意”通过销售与Shein产品极度相似的产品来侵犯Shein的商标。Shein还指控Temu通过虚假宣传其产品质量高于实际质量来从事欺骗性商业行为。

Temu否认了这些指控，并辩称Shein的诉讼是试图扼杀竞争。Temu还辩称，法院应驳回此案，因为Shein的商标无效。

法官驳回了Temu的论点，并裁定Shein已提供足够的证据来支持其主张。法官还裁定Shein的商标有效。

此案现在将进入审前程序，双方都将能够收集证据并进行取证。尚未确定审判日期。

考虑到Temu和Shein在全球电商市场中的竞争态势，以及知识产权保护的重要性，国内相关从业人员可以关注此类动态，以便更好地了解行业竞争格局，提升知识产权保护意识。
