TESTIMONIALS

This event opened my eyes to the importance of regular checkups. I hadn’t seen a doctor in years, and the free screenings helped me catch a serious health issue early.

Walking the 5K with my kids was a powerful moment. We’re now making healthier choices as a family thanks to what we learned that day.
