US-based retailer Walmart has collaborated with Sam’s Club to offer free health screenings to its customers on 14 January, in more than 5,200 locations across the country.

The partnership focuses on providing customers with health-related information.

Walmart Health & Wellness senior vice-president and president George Riedl said: “Knowing your numbers is critical to achieving your healthy resolutions and to maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

“That’s why Walmart and Sam’s Club have joined together for the very first time to kick off 2017 with the company’s largest free health screening event to-date.”

“Knowing your numbers is critical to achieving your healthy resolutions and to maintaining a healthy lifestyle."

The firms are reported to have collectively offered approximately 500,000 free health screenings last year, half of which were performed at Walmart in October.

Introduced in 2010 by Sam’s Club, more than one million free health screenings have since been provided.

Sam’s Club senior vice-president Jill Turner-Mitchael said: “Sam’s Club and Walmart are committed to helping the communities we serve lead healthier lives.

“We invite you to our locations this weekend to experience our health screenings to start or restart your healthy choices for the year.”

Screenings such as blood glucose, blood pressure, vision, body fat and body mass index will be performed in more than 4,600 Walmart stores.

Sam's Club will conduct tests for free blood glucose, blood pressure, vision/hearing, body fat, total cholesterol and HDL in 618 clubs.
