In an effort to arm our attendees with everything they need to maintain the healthiest lifestyle possible, Abilities Expo Chicagoland is proud to offer six essential health screenings FREE during show hours, compliments of the AARP/Walgreens Wellness Tour.

Are you as healthy as you think you are? Find out for sure with the following tests:

• Total Cholesterol Levels
• Blood Pressure
• Bone Density
• Glucose Levels
• Waist Circumference
• Body Mass Index

According to Walgreens President & CEO Gregory Wasson, knowledge is power and he strongly urges everyone to take advantage of these free screenings, valued at more that $140 each. “Early detection is the best way to keep people healthy and lower our future healthcare costs in this country," he said.

Walgreens will have representatives on hand from their Chicago Area Full Service Home Health Care Stores to answer questions on products and services offered by these unique Walgreen Stores. Walgreens has 4 conveniently located stores that are fully staffed to service all of your Home Medical Equipment requirements and ongoing patient care needs for caregivers.

The 2-year Wellness Tour rolled out in April 2009 with 9 customized coach busses and won’t stop until 2.5 million Americans from 3,000 communities in more than 300 cities across the United States and Puerto Rico are dialed in to the state of their own well being. We’re talking in excess of $60 million dollars worth of free healthcare. Now that’s reform everybody can get behind!
