In-club screenings available to both members
and the public on Saturday, October 10
Even though they know they need to look after their health, many
women cite time as a key barrier in getting themselves to the
doctor.1
To help women be more proactive about their health, Sam’s Club
is hosting convenient, free screenings for both members and the
public. These screenings, which can easily be worked into regular
weekend errands, are confidential and available at all Sam’s Club
locations with a pharmacy (612 locations) on Saturday, October 10
from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. They are valued at $1502 and include tests
for:
- Blood pressure
- Total cholesterol
- HDL (high-density lipoprotein or good
cholesterol)
- Glucose
- Body mass index (BMI)
“Many women today are so busy taking care of their family,
friends and careers that they unintentionally deprioritize their
own health,” said Tara Raddohl, director of corporate
communications at Sam’s Club. “With this in mind, we are proud to
offer free health screenings as a simple, quick way for women to
get a wide range of tests.”
In addition to monthly health screenings, Sam’s Club pharmacies
provide savings and preventive care to each community they serve,
such as year-round immunizations for children and adults.* Licensed
pharmacists can administer walk-in flu shots and nine other
important immunizations, including the MMR (measles, mumps,
rubella) vaccine. Eligible Sam’s Club Plus members can also save
even more on prescriptions, including exclusive discounts on select
generic prescriptions, some of which are available free of charge
or at a discounted cost of $4 or $10 for a 30-day supply. This
benefit is part of the Sam’s Club Extra Value Drug List, through
which Sam’s Club Plus members also receive 10-30 percent savings on
select brand name medications.
Additional information about Sam’s Club health and wellness
offerings can be found at SamsClub.com and in the Sam’s Club
exclusive bi-monthly wellness magazine, Healthy Living Made Simple,
which reaches approximately eight million members.
