Ramp Publishing Group sponsors health kiosks for drivers
Inside Trucking , along with Over the Road and Pro Trucker driver recruitment magazines, is sponsoring health kiosks at a growing number of trucking centers around the country in order to make advanced health screening technology available at no cost to over-the-road professionals.
Phil Claxton, president of Lifeclinic International ( www.lifeclinic.com), announced that the Lifeclinic blood pressure monitoring kiosks are now available at 100 trucking centers as part of Ramp Publishing Group's Healthy Trucker Information program. For participating trucking center locations and more information, visit www.healthytruckinginfo.com.
Since good health tends to make for happier drivers, and happy drivers tend to stay on the job longer, there is a clear connection between health and driver retention.
"Our sponsorship of the Healthy Trucker Information program is another example of Ramp Publishing Group's commitment to the health and well-being of the nation's truck drivers, as well as our efforts to boost retention rates for the nation's carriers," says Marvin Shefsky, Ramp president and publisher.
"Blood pressure monitoring is important to everyone, and for the long haul trucking professional, it is a critical part of their employment that they control their blood pressure in accordance with U.S. Department of Transportation regulations," says Claxton.
According to the National Institute of Health, more than one in four U.S. adults suffer from some type of hypertensive problem, and high blood pressure is the second most common reason for medical visits. Complications of high blood pressure include heart disease, heart attack, stroke and kidney failure. Many people have high and don't even know it, which is why it is so important to have your blood pressure checked regularly.
“Ramp's media experience will permit our Lifeclinic Health Kiosks to be used freely by the long-haul trucking professional as they visit one of the busy super trucking centers where the kiosks are installed," Claxton adds. "This will give the over-the-road driver a health screening home. We look forward to working with Healthy Trucker Info and Ramp Media as they seek out new service opportunities to help in combating the growing national hypertension problem.”
“High blood pressure can be controlled, and regular screenings with the Lifeclinic Health Kiosks can help to keep a long haul driver on a healthy life style program,” reports Lee Burdine, president of BHS, Inc. BHS, an authorized distributor of the Lifeclinic Kiosks, has worked closely with HTI to develop this program for the HTI Healthy Trucker Info stations in trucking super centers.
