Shree Jalaram Mandir successfully organized its 14th Annual Health Fair on Sunday, April 19, 2026, reaffirming its commitment to community service through accessible healthcare initiatives.

The charitable event aimed to provide free medical services to devotees and local residents, particularly those facing financial barriers to care. This year, more than 270 individuals benefited from a wide range of services offered by a dedicated team of healthcare professionals and volunteers.

Attendees received consultations from general physicians, along with EKG evaluations by cardiologists, dental checkups, pulmonary assessments, eye examinations, and physical therapy consultations. Guidance on diet, nutrition, and Ayurveda was also available, reflecting a holistic approach to health and wellness.

In addition to consultations, participants underwent key diagnostic screenings, including blood pressure and blood sugar checks, urinalysis, and other laboratory tests. The event was supported by nearly 75 medical and non-medical volunteers, alongside contributions from temple committee members, the Lohana Association, and participating vendors.

Volunteers from the temple kitchen served tea, coffee, and a light breakfast, adding a warm and welcoming touch to the day’s activities.

The event’s success underscored the spirit of seva, or selfless service, with organizers Bakul Thakkar, Jigna Tucker, and Jayantibhai Thakkar expressing gratitude to all volunteers and community members who contributed to the Health Fair.
