SMVA Karuna Seva Medical Camp, New Jersey June 9, 2025

Overview
On a bright summer morning in New Jersey, SMVA Trust brought our Karuna Seva (“Unconditional Service to Humanity”) initiative to life. In partnership with Lincoln Reference Laboratories and a dedicated team of volunteer medical professionals, we opened our doors for free health screenings, consultations, and educational resources—welcoming community members of all ages.

Highlights of the Day

• Warm Welcome & Screening Station
  Guests were greeted with a temperature and symptom check upon arrival, ensuring everyone’s safety and comfort.

• On-Site Laboratory Services
  Our lab partners set up a discreet blood-draw station, offering basic panels—CBC, glucose, lipids, and A₁c—at no cost.

• One-on-One Medical Consultations
  Dr. Sunita Kanumury led the Asthma & Allergies booth, guiding visitors through breathing techniques and trigger management. Other physicians offered check-ups for blood pressure, diabetes risk, and general wellness advice.

• Health Education Corner
  Informative posters on nasal congestion and allergy prevention sparked conversations. Attendees left with easy-to-follow take-home guides on diet, exercise, and when to seek follow-up care.

• Community Giving
  Alongside medical services, we hosted a continuous food drive—collecting non-perishables for local shelters and reinforcing our holistic vision of health and well-being.

Our Heartfelt Appreciation
This event succeeded because of:

• Our Volunteers, who managed registration, ushered guests, and created a warm atmosphere.

• Lincoln Reference Laboratories, for seamless lab logistics and professional handling.

• Medical Team, whose expertise and compassion turned check-ups into empowering conversations.

• Facility Hosts, for generously providing the space and amenities that made everyone feel at home.

Looking Forward
Inspired by the energy and gratitude we witnessed, SMVA Trust is already planning similar free medical camps in other regions. We invite you to participate—whether as a volunteer, sponsor, or community member—in spreading health, hope, and harmony wherever the need is greatest.
