WHITE PLAINS – Westchester County Executive Robert Astorino announced the county’s Keep Health campaign, an education initiative focused on providing residents with best practices and services to help lead a healthier lifestyle.
The campaign, unveiled on Tuesday, will bring county health department professionals to five locations of three fitness centers – Crunch, Club Fit, and 24 Hour Fitness – on Tuesdays this month to offer free flu shots, blood pressure screenings and #KeepHealthy tips and information.
Astorino said the effort will accomplish three things – it gets free health services and information to residents, it promotes healthy living and it supports local businesses.
Health Commissioner Dr. Sherlita Amler said the health department targeted health clubs to reach adults between the ages of 18 and 50, who are less likely to make time for a flu shot or check their blood pressure than children or seniors.
“Keeping healthy is all about the choices we make, both large and small,” Amler said. “The decision to get a flu shot or take your blood pressure can be the first step to a healthier you.”
