(Blackwood, NJ) – To ensure that residents have access to necessary medical care, the Camden County Department of Health and Human Services will be offering free adult health screenings at two locations next week and will also be traveling across the county to administer COVID-19 vaccines.
“If you aren’t able to make it to a doctor’s office to check up on your health, consider coming to next week’s event,” said Commissioner Virginia Betteridge, liaison to the Department of Health and Human Services. “Additionally, we are going to continue our vaccine pop up clinics to ensure everyone is up to date with their COVID-19 vaccines. Please look at the schedule and consider stopping by one of our locations.”
The adult health screenings are scheduled for Tuesday, March 28 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Riverfront Supermarket at 30 Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard in Camden.
The adult health screenings include:
- Blood pressure screenings
