Labakcare Details
The mission of Labakcare is to improve the health of underserved communities by providing no cost preventive health care services and health education. Through partnerships with local nonprofits, shelters, and religious institutions, Labakcare is able to offer health screenings, flu shots, and referrals to uninsured individuals at our free, local health fairs. These health fairs take place mostly in the Philadelphia, South Jersey, and Delaware areas, while Labakcare's international activities currently take place in Nigeria and Haiti.The efforts of Labakcare have increased the knowledge of screened participants in understanding their diagnosed health issues. Participants are taught to recognize signs and symptoms of their health problems as well as what to look for if their conditions deteriorate. Participants are also educated on the importance of diet modification, exercise, and medication compliance as a means to reduce the threat of a health crisis. Over 600 local and nearly 200 international volunteers have helped to make health fairs and international missions a success. With the help of involved and committed volunteers, Labakcare can continue to make positive change with a lasting impact.
