BERKELEY, CA — If improving your health is important, you can take advantage of free tests this Saturday at the Richmond Walmart store, located at 1400 Hilltop Mall Road.

Walmart's first Wellness Day of 2023 runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. this Saturday. The list of free health screenings includes:

• glucose

The pharmacy will also free COVID immunizations, and low-cost immunizations for RSV, flu, pneumonia, tetanus, HPV, MMR (measles, mumps, rubella), varicella (chicken pox/shingles), whooping cough (TDAP), Hepatitis A & B and more.

Walmart pharmacists emphasize that knowing your health numbers is just a start, and will offer additional information to allow you to make healthy decisions and track progress.

“A fresh, new year presents a great opportunity to really check in on our health as families, and as communities,” said Kevin Host, Walmart’s senior vice president of pharmacy. “I’m incredibly proud of what we’re able to offer through our Wellness Day events. These free screenings and affordable immunizations provide not only valuable insight but also valuable protection against illnesses that become common during the winter season. We continue to innovate the ways we deliver care through our pharmacies, Vision Centers, Walmart Health Centers and beyond. We look forward to making more positive impacts in the lives of our customers and patients.”

More than 4,600 Walmart pharmacies nationwide will host Wellness Day events. Some stores will also feature vision screenings and in-store giveaways and demos of wellness products.

Walmart has been hosting Wellness Days since 2014.
