Finally, some of the Big Guys decide to help educate the public...

Aetna and Walgreens collaborate to educate people on taking adequate levels of Vitamin D

Aetna (NYSE: AET) and Walgreens announced today that they have joined forces to educate people about the need to take in adequate levels of Vitamin D. The two organizations are working with United Way of the Midlands on a Vitamin D giveaway program being piloted in Richland and Lexington counties in South Carolina. They will be handing out coupons that residents can redeem at Walgreens stores for free 100-day Vitamin D supplies. The program will begin Jan. 23 and run until April 24, or as long as supplies last.

“It helps people absorb calcium, which strengthens bones and teeth and helps nerves and muscles work correctly.”
