Free Health Screenings!

A specially equipped AARP/Walgreens Wellness Tour bus will spend several days in Ohio cities this summer -- including three days at the Ohio State Fair -- providing free health screening and educational services at local events, community centers, Walgreens stores and other select locations.
 
Screenings are recommended for adults age 18 and older. Results are instantly provided and consumers are encouraged to visit a doctor or health care provider to discuss them. Visitors also have access to free educational information on a variety of health and wellness issues that are available in both English and Spanish.
 
Health screenings are an important method for detecting potential diseases before symptoms are noticed. In fact, of those screened during the 2008 tours:

•         72.8% had high blood pressure levels
•         68.2% had high body mass index
•         65.9% had low bone density
•         60.5% had a waist circumference outside of the normal range
•         38.0% had high cholesterol levels
•         13.3% had high glucose levels
 
Free, one-year AARP memberships will be given to all adults who receive screenings. Participants under the age of 50 can pass on the free membership to an eligible adult, and existing members will receive a one-year extension on their current membership status
