Laredo Public Health has issued a reminder to the community about the availability of free wellness stations at local clinics. These stations, part of the Juntos for Better Health initiative, provide residents with the opportunity to conduct self-checks for various health metrics including Body Mass Index (BMI), blood pressure, and temperature.
The wellness stations are designed to promote proactive health management among residents, allowing individuals to monitor their vital signs conveniently and privately. By encouraging self-assessment, Laredo Public Health aims to empower community members to take charge of their health and well-being.
Access to these wellness stations is free of charge, making it easier for residents to stay informed about their health status. The initiative reflects a commitment to improving public health outcomes and fostering a culture of wellness in Laredo. Residents are urged to take advantage of this valuable resource to enhance their health and prevent potential medical issues.
