CVS pharmacies take a proactive role in promoting health and wellness in local communities. Various CVS pharmacies at scheduled times offer to the community free health screenings to foster optimum health education.
These health screenings typically offer blood pressure readings, cholesterol checks, diabetes and osteoporosis checkups.Screening Schedules
Many community organizations often disseminate information about upcoming dates and places of upcoming screenings in specified geographic locations. Flyers may be posted in a community center, local supermarkets, doctors' offices, libraries and other public places. Advertisements in local newspapers or posted signs at the CVS pharmacy will indicate the particular screenings that will be held at the specific CVS pharmacy sponsoring the health screenings.
Benefits of Health Screenings
The health screenings in no way are to be viewed as replacing evaluation and follow up by your primary physician. While many individuals do consult their doctors and undergo regularly scheduled tests, other individuals for various reasons including lack of insurance coverage use the health screenings to alert them to possible unknown risk factors or potential health problems. The health screenings could possibly alert you to health problems that should be discussed and referred to your health practitioner. A cholesterol screening can help determine if your readings have improved since your last screening thereby helping you to maintain healthy dietary habits to manage and control your cholesterol levels. Osteoporosis screenings help to identify any possible risk factors for the bone thinning disease that results in weakening bones, a potentially threatening disease if left untreated, especially for older individuals.
