PDMD clinics to host health fairs

Professional Drivers Medical Depots will host a weeklong health fair for professional drivers from Oct. 20-24 at the four PDMD locations—Knoxville, Tenn., West Memphis, Ark., Peru, Ill. and Atlanta. The fair is designed to provide drivers with free services and information to help them improve their health.


“We have designed this health fair to meet the schedules and needs of professional drivers,” says Dr. John McElligott, chairman and chief medical officer for PDMD. “We know that many drivers don’t have the time or money to keep up with their health care, which may have them at risk.”


All clinics will provide free wellness exams, hearing exams, sleep studies, blood pressure checks, flu shots and blood sugar checks. Drivers also can receive information about diet, exercise and stroke/heart attack, and other health-related and educational supplies. Doctors will be available for drivers to check on their health conditions as well. Each clinic also will have a raffle for gift cards from Iron Skillet and Petro shops.


The Knoxville PDMD is located at the Petro Stopping Center on I-40/I-75 at Exit 369. Hours are 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday-Friday.

The West Memphis PDMD is located at the Petro Stopping Center on I-40 at Exit 280/I-55 at Exit 5. The clinic is open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday-Friday and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday.
