Program to host a Free Health Fair at the Community Achievement Center in Decatur, GA. The event, which ran from 9 AM to 12 PM, offered critical health screenings— including blood pressure, blood glucose, cholesterol, and flu checks—to empower the community with vital health knowledge and resources.

One impactful moment occurred when a community member's blood glucose screening revealed dangerously low levels—a condition they hadn't realized was causing their persistent fatigue and dizziness. Thanks to the quick action of the Morehouse School of Medicine team, the individual received immediate care, dietary recommendations and a free referral for follow-up care to monitor their condition by the H.E.A.L.
