04.16.2005 San Jose, CA, USA

BAPS Charities held yet another successful Health Awareness Camp on Saturday, April 16 at Milpitas. Many people attended the camp, which has now been running for over 7 years. This year also saw the introduction of other services such as yoga classes along with legal and governmental consultation services.

Over 25 medical and dental professionals provided an array of services, including Blood Pressure and Cholesterol Test, Cardiology, Diabetes, general health checkup, eye check up and CPR training session.

To address the scarcity of donors in the Bay Area, BAPS Charities also teams up bi-annually with Stanford Medical Center to hold Blood and Bone marrow drives during their health awareness camps in the local area. This camp saw many new people donate blood along with regular donors. There were many who even registered for the Bone Marrow.

The Health Awareness Camp in Milpitas is a bi-annual event for which the organizers encourage people to register online. This according to BAPS Charities helps to execute the event efficiently as there would be no long queues of people waiting and the time of doctors would also be used wisely.

Short waiting times are only one way to encourage people to attend the event, the organizers also arranged for informative video sessions, pamphlets and literature on health and general wellness and finally a free and healthy hot cooked meal.

The next health awareness camp at Milpitas center of BAPS Charities is scheduled for 3rd December 2005.
