Health check success
January 14, 2013
TERRY White Chemists had a very
busy week last week, delivering
more than 450 free Health Checks
for tennis enthusiasts at the
Queensland Tennis Centre for the
Brisbane International.
The health checks were the result
of a partnership between Terry
White Chemists and Asteron Life,
with the pharmacy chain providing
the health checks (including testing
total cholesterol, HDL, blood
pressure, BMI and blood glucose),
and Asteron picking up the tab.
Speaking about the success of the
week-long promotion, Terry White
Chemists’ Professional Services
Pharmacist Chris Campbell said the
Health Checks had been well
received by visitors at the event and
that they had showed the
effectiveness of the program in
identifying potential health problems.
“We referred roughly one in four
people to their GPs for further
testing – that is a relatively high
number of people wandering
around with some sort of health
concern which warrants
investigation,”
Campbell said.
