SAN DIEGO, CA, Oct. 28, 2013 – Union Bank, N.A, recently collaborated with the American Heart Association (AHA) to host a Health and Wellness Expo at Union Bank’s Lemon Grove Branch. During the four-hour event, more than 75 participants enjoyed complimentary blood pressure and body mass index (BMI) screenings, one-on-one consultations with a cardiologist, heart health information and giveaways. Special guests included Lemon Grove Mayor Pro Tem Howard Cook and City Council Member George Gastil.
“We support fiscal and physical wellbeing, and Union Bank is proud to collaborate with the American Heart Association to support the Health and Wellness Expos,” said Union Bank Senior Vice President and Public Affairs Manager Frank Robinson. “As a responsible bank committed to doing right, we believe in giving our employees, customers and the community at large opportunities to enhance their health.” Union Bank executives also shared information and tips about financial planning, such as budgeting and saving.
The goal of the Health and Wellness Expo is to bring the “No Wealth Without Your Health” message to local communities by providing heart health education, with an emphasis on its connection to one’s financial fitness. The American Heart Association believes that small efforts toward improving your heart and brain health can lead to big outcomes. The event focused on the AHA’s “Life’s Simple 7,” which recommends seven simple steps to add years to your life – don’t smoke, get active, eat better, maintain a healthy weight, manage blood pressure, control cholesterol and reduce blood sugar.
