A successful community health event was held on October 4, 2025, at Joliet, Illinois (Will County), bringing together local residents for a day dedicated to health awareness, wellness screenings, and nutrition education. The event was organized by the Chicago Indo-US Lions Club in partnership with the Kidney Foundation and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBSIL).

From 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, participants received a range of free health services, including vision and hearing screenings, mental health awareness resources, and kidney health education. The fair also distributed fresh fruits and vegetables, encouraging families to make healthy dietary choices and embrace preventive wellness.

The program reflected a holistic approach to healthcare, addressing both physical and mental well-being. Volunteers and healthcare professionals shared information about early detection of health issues and offered guidance on maintaining a balanced lifestyle.

“Our goal is to reach every corner of the community with essential health services,” said a representative of the Chicago Indo-US Lions Club, emphasizing the organization’s commitment to serving with compassion and care.

The event drew praise from attendees and local partners for fostering awareness, accessibility, and collaboration in community health.

The Chicago Indo-US Lions Club, together with the Kidney Foundation and BCBSIL, continues to play a vital role in promoting preventive health care and supporting well-being across the Chicagoland region.
