Walmart to host free health screening event across Metro East

All Metro East area Walmart stores will be among 4,700 locations across the country to host Walmart Wellness Day on Saturday, Sept. 23.

The free health-screening event provides residents an opportunity to learn valuable health information like:
• Blood glucose
• Blood pressure
• Body mass index
• Low-cost immunizations
• And in select locations, customers can also take advantage of free vision screenings

This will be the second Walmart Wellness Day for which the company has teamed up with the American Diabetes Association to provide support beyond event day, offering additional support to customers whose screening results indicate a risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Events will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
