This weekend – Sam’s Club Hosts Free Men’s Health Screenings Event

 

Prostate cancer affects one in six men over the age of 50, making it one of the most common types of cancer found in American men and one of the leading causes of cancer deaths in men. To make preventive care easily accessible during Men’s Health Month in June, Sam’s Club will host free health screenings on Saturday, June 8 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

 

The screenings are free and available to the public at all Sam’s Club locations with a pharmacy (565). While the health screening event focuses on men’s health, the screenings for both men and women are available. The free health screening event features tests valued at up to $150, including:

 

  • PSA (prostate-specific antigen) test for men – This test measures a protein produced by both cancerous and noncancerous prostate tissue and can help identify cancer early on.
  • TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) test for women – This test measures thyroid hormone levels and identifies overactive and underactive thyroid glands, which can be the root of various health problems.
  • Blood pressure
  • BMI (body mass index)
  • Vision

 

“It is important for men to actively monitor their health and understand the unique issues they can face,” said Jill Turner-Mitchael, senior vice president, Sam’s Club Health and Wellness. “Sam’s Club hosts preventive screenings to offer a free and easy way for men to receive an annual PSA test, for families to offer the gift of health for dad this Father’s Day and to help our customers understand how preventive care can save lives.”

 

Sam’s Club has offered PSA and TSH screenings for three years, receiving feedback from members on the impact of preventive care. Last year, 63-year-old Sam’s Club member Gary W. received a free PSA screening at his Virginia club. Through the screening, Gary discovered his PSA levels were elevated, and he was encouraged to follow up with his physician. Gary was diagnosed with prostate cancer and began a course of treatment as a result of the follow-up consultation. At the time of his Sam’s Club screening, Gary did not show symptoms of illness, but through the free test, he was grateful to receive the medical information he needed to manage his diagnosis.

Men’s Health Total Guy, Total Package Contest

Total® cereal and Men’s Health magazine have teamed up to celebrate and honor the all-around, seasoned guy with an official search for him in the “Total Guy, Total Package” online contest. This wellounded individual is confident and dependable, and lives a fit and healthy lifestyle characterized by proper nutrition and a strong physical regimen. The “Total Guy” gives top priority to his family, friends and community, and is able to balance his action-packed days.

 

Total cereal, designed specifically with men’s nutrition in mind, knows what today’s man needs to kick start his mornings and power through his active days. With 100 percent whole grain flakes and 100 percent daily value of 12 vitamins and minerals per serving, Total Whole Grain provides a tasty and easy way for men to get the nutrients they need in 100 calories. Together, Total cereal and Men’s Health, the leading magazine for men, will offer valuable content and tips for the “Total Guy” and initiate the Men’s Health Total Guy, Total Package contest.

 

“We know that today’s wellounded man is able to balance the many areas of life – including family, friends, work, fitness, and nutrition – and deserves to be rewarded with a cereal that works as hard as he does,” said Kim Seifert , Associate Marketing Manager for Total cereal. “That’s why Total partnered with Men’s Health, the number one source of information for and about men, to find and celebrate today’s ‘Total Guy.'”

Visit www.MensHealth.com/TotalGuyTotalPackage to submit an essay and photo illustrating the “Total Guy” and total manhood.

 

“Guys are working longer days and balancing more elements in their lives than ever before and Total is a great way for men to start their day,” said Men’s Health Publisher Ronan Gardiner . “It only makes sense that Men’s Health partnered with Total for the Total Guy, Total Package contest. We are so excited to find a confident, dependable, fit man who is truly today’s Total Guy.”

 

Men’s Health readers will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite semifinalist online, and this July, Men’s Health and Total cereal will select the 2013 “Total Guy.” The winner will receive a trip for two to New York City for a personal session with aMen’s Health fitness and nutrition expert, as well as a year’s worth of Total Whole Grain cereal.
