Get Screened America is bringing potential life saving tests and screenings to NHRA - National Hot
Rod Association - fans selected at national events this fall. The Get Screened America pavilion,
exhibiting at several recent NHRA race events, provides free blood pressure checks, blood glucose
testing, body mass index (BMI) testing and skin damage derma-scans to the race attendees. While
Get Screened America originally focused on high blood pressure, one of the country's biggest
'silent killers', diabetes, ulcers and certain cancers, SoloHealth added their EyeSite kiosk to Get
Screened America's program, which offered free vision tests for NHRA fans attending the Atlanta
Georgia and Englishtown New Jersey races. The NHRA races in Indianapolis and Charlotte in
September are the next events on the Get Screened America program.
Steve Treff, program designer of Get Screened America said, "We're thrilled that the NHRA
provided us with the opportunity to offer our services to NHRA race fans. We have had an
overwhelming response at the races we attended, offering more checks and tests than we ever could
have expected." He further explained, "And while we appreciate all of our sponsors, we are
thrilled with the partnership that we have with SoloHealth. The number of vision tests performed
using their EyeSite kiosk at the racetrack has been much higher than we all expected."
At two recent NHRA races in Atlanta and Englishtown, fans have been able to use the EyeSite
Self-Service Vision Test kiosks to quickly have their vision checked, encouraging them to make an
appointment, if necessary, with their eye doctor for a full exam. The EyeSite kiosk provides
immediate vision feedback to the fan, as well as other valuable information. An average of over 80
vision tests per day - all free to the attendees - were performed at each race.
"As more people understand the importance of taking care of their eyes, they're more likely
to schedule a regular eye exam. Surprisingly, of the hundreds of people who took the EyeSite
vision test, over 60% of them had not had an eye exam in the last 2 years" said Bart Foster, CEO
and Founder of SoloHealth. "SoloHealth is excited to work with Get Screened America to help
educate consumers on the importance of eye health. How well you see is only one part of the vision
equation. As people get older they could have cataracts, macular degeneration, glaucoma, and other
serious eye conditions or diseases and not even know it. And because there is no pain associated
with eye disease, it often will go undetected."
Get Screened America and SoloHealth next team up at NHRA's Mac Tools US Nationals in
Indianapolis Indiana Labor Day weekend and again for the NHRA Carolina Nationals in Charlotte North
Carolina September 18-20. Join the thousands of NHRA race fans that are receiving free testing and
screening provided by Get Screened America and SoloHealth.
