In partnership with SANYC, Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK), and the Richmond Hill Gurdwara, the Sikh Medical Initiative (SMI) hosted one of our largest community health events to date—bringing together over 100 patients and 30 volunteers for a day of service, education, and connection.

Attendees received free point-of-care glucose, cholesterol, and A1C tests, along with blood pressure screenings, dental checks, and individualized counseling on diabetes, hypertension, and mental health. The event united physicians, students, and healthcare workers under one roof with a shared goal: improving health literacy and empowering our community to take charge of their well-being.

Moments like these show what SMI stands for—collaboration, seva, and representation in action. We’re deeply grateful to our partners and volunteers whose passion and commitment continue to strengthen our collective impact across the East Coast.
