I first picked with up from a tweet from David Armstrong. Turns out that there is this entry in the Guiness Workd Records:

The largest diabetic health screening at multiple locations involved 521 screenings by Kaiser Permanente, San Diego (USA) across 11 locations in San Diego, California, USA, on 17 March 2011. This particular screening examined patients' feet for complications arising from previously diagnosed cases of diabetes.

All screenings needed to be taken within 8 hours. Each participating location was required to have at least 25 screenings and thus there were 31 additional screenings disqualified from seven different locations that did not meet this requirement.

It was a proud moment for the country as a total of 1676 people with diabetes were screened for foot care on one single day, which broke the existing GUINNESS WORLD RECORD of 561 screenings in 11 locations by Kaiser Permanente, San Diego, USA in March 17, 2011.MVH led with 171 screenings.
