Pensando en su Salud @ Wal-Mart.
August 14, 2004
Univision Radio is collaborating with Wal-Mart to host community-focused health fairs across the country. The effort is entitled “Pensando en su Salud”, and is part of Univision’s corporate health initiative, “Salud es Vida, Enterate!” Each health fair event will offer attendees the opportunity to receive free health screenings, and provide information/materials in a fun and family-oriented atmosphere on a variety of health topics affecting U.S. Hispanics. The fairs will be held at select Wal-Mart locations in eleven cities throughout the United States from September through November 2004, including Chicago 9/12, El Paso 9/19, Los Angeles 9/25 & 9/26, Dallas 10/3, Houston 10/10, San Antonio 10/17, McAllen 10/24, Santa Ana 10/31, La Quinta/Palm Springs 11/7 and Miami 11/21.
Working in conjunction with Univision Radio and Wal-Mart on this effort are many government, national and local non-profit organizations including, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Niños Activos Familias Sanas, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, American Heart Association, American Diabetes Association, and the American Cancer Society.
GlaxoSmithKline, a leading research-based pharmaceutical company, will lend its support by conducting free health screenings in the GSK Healthy Communities TM Winnebago in Dallas, San Antonio and Houston.
“Univision Radio is proud to collaborate with Wal-Mart on this important effort that will create awareness and offer much needed information on health-related issues affecting the Hispanic community,” stated Jack Hobbs, Senior Vice President/Corporate Sales for Univision Radio.
