In-club health screenings available to members and non-members on Saturday, May 11 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
BENTONVILLE, ARK., (May 3, 2013) –
With Memorial Day marking the unofficial start of summer and outdoor
fun, healthy skin and healthy weight maintenance are on many Americans’
minds. To
lift awareness for healthy weight and skin issues, including the
effects of stress on both, Sam’s Club will host a series of preventive
health screenings Saturday, May 11 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The screenings
are free and available to the public at all Sam’s Club locations with a pharmacy (565).
The free health screening1 event features tests valued at up to $150, including:
· Body mass index (BMI) –BMI provides an indicator of body fat and is used to screen for weight categories that may lead to health problems.
· Cortisol – This
is the primary stress hormone, which has an effect on many different
body systems. This blood test measures cortisol levels produced by the
adrenal or pituitary glands and shows how well these glands are working.
· Weight
· Height
· Blood pressure
· Vision
· Upon
completion of the health screenings, participants will receive a
certificate to pick up a free sample of Align® probiotic supplements at
the Sam’s Club Pharmacy.
“As
summer arrives, Americans are more focused on getting in shape and
spending more time in the sun,” said Jill Turner-Mitchael, senior vice
president, Sam’s Club Health and Wellness. “Sam’s Club is hosting
preventive weight maintenance, stress and skin health screenings to help
people prevent potential skin damage from the sun and understand the
effects that stress and cortisol levels may have on weight and skin
maintenance.”
