Medical Screening and Educational Camp for Senior Citizens

As summer is the prime time for grandparents and relatives to visit home, Chinmaya opened their 2nd annual free medical screening. With the help of high school students and Dr. Kishore Pathial, Dr. Samu Kumar, Dr. Shobhana Rajagopal, and Dr. Vimal Aga, the team was able to a complete full check-up: blood pressure, O2 levels, height, weight, BMI, and a meeting with a professional doctor. Additionally, visiting family members had the opportunity to learn about preventive screening test for seniors. The medical screening helped keep grandparents informed about their health and steps they can take to lead a healthy lifestyle.
