Wal-Mart has announced a partnership with the Delta Regional Authority to fight Diabetes in the St. Louis area and in six other states.
The program will support “Hometown Health Fairs” aimed at increasing awareness on diabetes prevention and management.
Each Hometown Health Fair will include free biometrics screenings: body composition, including weight, body fat and body mass index; total cholesterol checks; HDL, LDL and triglycerides levels and glucose level checks available for 200 people at each Saturday event. Free blood pressure screenings and other health information will also be available.
