The Jain Society of Metropolitan Washington (JSMW) recently organized a two-day community health fair, demonstrating its dedication to community well-being beyond religious endeavors. The event was highly successful, drawing a significant turnout, and offered a wide range of health services and consultations.
The health fair commenced with a blood testing event that attracted around 120 participants from both the society and the local community. Attendees experienced smooth service from registration to blood draw, with lab technicians from ADG conducting the testing entirely free of charge.
