The Shrimad Rajchandra Love & Care USA (SRLC USA), in partnership with St. Luke’s University Health Network, recently hosted the Poconos Health and Wellness Fest 2025 on Saturday, September 27, 2025. This free community event brought together licensed medical professionals, preventive screenings, and wellness workshops for over 250 residents of the Pocono Mountains.
The health fair reflected SRLC USA’s mission of serving both visitors and the local community— by offering practical tools for healthier living alongside its wellness, mindfulness, and community service programs. This health fair addressed critical healthcare access needs in the Pocono Mountains. By removing cost and access barriers, SRLC USA and its healthcare partners provided preventive care available to residents—while reinforcing the center’s commitment to community well-being.
Dr. Chintan Mehta, an internal medicine specialist, who is also a Trustee of SRLC USA, said “Working alongside St. Luke’s University Health Network allowed us to bridge community service with professional medical expertise. This event reflected SRLC USA’s belief that true wellness includes not only mindfulness and stress relief but also access to healthcare and preventive education.”
