The Health Camp of New Jersey (HCNJ), in collaboration with Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Hamilton (RWJ Barnabas Health), hosted a Community Health Fair on May 18.

The event, hosted at the RWJ Fitness and Wellness Center, drew hundreds of community members for a day centered on accessible healthcare, education, and wellness. 

It featured a wide range of free health screenings, including blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol, hemoglobin A1c, thyroid testing, and physical therapy assessments. Special focus was given to health issues prevalent in the South Asian community, with initiatives addressing cancer prevention, mental health, and stroke education.
