'Project Health saved my life'

14 Oct 2024

Description

Jen Kinder, director of Project Health, shares how the program offers free health screenings in under-resourced communities across the country and frequently gets heartwarming affirmations from the people it serves.• This year, Project Health is on track to host more than 1,700 events and screen more than 50,000 people. It hosts events in communities and at CVS Pharmacy locations with its fleet of mobile units.• The health screenings measure blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose, and screen for osteoporosis and early signs of depression, health conditions that may be early indicators of a chronic disease or disorder. After the screening, people have one-on-one consultations with a nurse practitioner, who reviews the results with them and offer guidance.• Project Health is in 20 states and more than 30 cities, and builds its programs in communities where there are high health disparities or high rates of chronic disease.
