What's about 60 feet long, visits 70 cities nationwide, and helps people stay healthy? It's the Health Corner Wellness Tour Bus. Visitors to the bus can have several health screenings done in a short amount of time. "Early detection is the key to prevention for many diseases," says Tour Manager Christine Scolforo. The wellness bus provides free tests for cholesterol, glucose, blood pressure, body mass index (or BMI), and bone health. Plus the best part is the instant results. "All your results are given to you before you leave so you can take them back to your doctor if you ever have any questions," says Christine.
