Health Cell of Sacred Heart Parish was established in 2002 with the ‘Health Week’ celebrations from 4th to 11th February. Since then, this Cell has organized many Medical Camps (Oncology, Gynae, Eye, Dental, ENT etc.), Diagnostic Camps, Blood Donation Camps, Bone Density Camps, Mammography Camps, Health Education Programmes, Vaccination Programmes, etc.
Every year on the feast of Our Lady of Health, a special Mass is held for all the sick and health workers followed by anointing.
The Health cell has also organized Acupressure Camps followed by training programmes for Acupressure Therapists. About 70 participants, including a few religious, underwent this training. Some of the therapists joined hands with Sarva Seva Sangh and started an Acupressure Clinic at Gyan Ashram, which is operative twice a week, namely Thursday and Sunday between 5 pm to 7 pm.
Our ongoing programmes since 2002 are:
1. Fasting blood sugar checkups from 7 am to 8 am on 3rd Sundays of every month.
2. Post Prandial blood sugar checkups, Blood Pressure and weight checkups
from 10 am to 11 am on 4th Sundays of every month, followed by our monthly meeting.
3. Yoga classes from 5.45 pm to 6.45 pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays every week.
At present we have 8 active members.
