BAPS Charities aims to serve individuals, families and communities in need by providing high quality, low cost health care.
Annual health fairs are at the core of BAPS Charities’ medical services. Physicians and technicians regularly volunteer their expertise to provide medical care and advice to the increasing number of people who lack access to quality health care.

| Opinions |
“We (St. Luke’s) emphasize care not solely for achievement of physical well being but the whole person, body, mind and spirit. In this sense I feel there are many levels of connection between BAPS and St. Luke’s. We look forward in the future programming in partnership with BAPS.” – Mr. David J. Fine, president and chief executive officer at St. Luke’s Episcopal Health System It’s a phenomenal service and it’s a phenomenal event. I have been to hundreds of health fairs and I have never seen one like this.” – Mrs. Irene Helsinger, senior vice president and chief administrative officer at St. Luke’s Episcopal Health System
