Walmart offering free health screenings Saturday

Dayton area residents will have access to free health screenings Saturday at Walmart stores as part of the retailer’s national Walmart Wellness Day celebration.

Based on the success of “America’s Biggest Health Fair” held by Walmart last year, the company is again hosting what the company describes as the largest single-day health event in the nation.

The newly named Walmart Wellness Day will take place from noon to 4 p.m. at more than 4,600 Walmart stores across the country. The event will provide free blood glucose, blood pressure, vision screenings (where available), product samples and information on health insurance options.

In addition, more than 10,000 of Walmart’s licensed pharmacists will offer immunizations in all Walmart pharmacies in the U.S.
