Health testing can be costly for families, so warehouse retailer Sam’s Club is offering free screenings for families and individuals at all company locations with pharmacy facilities. Membership is not required for health test participants.
“Sam’s Club can help our communities … with free allergy and health screenings and on-site pharmacists who can offer advice,” explained Jill Turner-Mitchael, senior vice president of Health and Wellness for the company, on March 4.
No-cost health screenings at Sam’s Club include these emphases: allergies, children’s health, diabetes awareness, healthy aging, healthy skin, healthy weight, men’s health, oral health, women’s health, and more.
Sam’s Club members may sign up online to receive monthly reminder text messages for the events.
