Free Health Screenings Offered at Metro Transit Locations

May 10, 2025 - 18:55

Metro Transit has announced a partnership with Betty Jean Kerr People’s Health Centers to deliver complimentary mobile health screening services to transit riders, visitors, and local residents. Starting on May 20, a mobile health screening van will be stationed at four designated transit locations, offering essential health services.

The initiative aims to promote community health by providing free blood pressure screenings and basic health assessments. These services are designed to help individuals monitor their health and identify potential issues early on. The screenings will be accessible to everyone, regardless of their insurance status, making it a valuable resource for the community.

This collaboration underscores the commitment of both organizations to enhance public health and well-being. By bringing health services directly to transit users and residents, they hope to encourage more individuals to take charge of their health and seek necessary medical advice. The program is expected to foster a healthier community through increased awareness and accessibility to health resources.
