On a chilly winter Saturday (14th December, 2024), WellAura, Health and Wellness Center had the privilege of organizing a free walk-in health camp at Iconest Apartments on Sarjapur Road. Despite the cold weather, the turnout was inspiring. We had about 30 participants, including 11 housekeeping staff and apartment administrators, along with 16 residents and more. The event was designed to promote health awareness and encourage proactive health management within the community.
Camp Coverage
The camp offered a range of health assessments and consultations to ensure participants received comprehensive care:
Height, Weight, and Blood Pressure Measurements
These essential metrics were checked to evaluate each participant’s general health. Height and weight were used to calculate BMI (Body Mass Index), an important indicator of overall health. Blood pressure readings provided insights into cardiovascular health, helping to detect any early signs of hypertension or related concerns.
Random Blood Sugar Testing
This quick and non-invasive test helped screen for irregular blood sugar levels, a potential indicator of diabetes or prediabetic conditions. Participants were advised on the next steps based on their results, ensuring they could take timely action if needed.
Doctor Consultation
Each participant had the opportunity to engage with a qualified physician for a personalized consultation. These sessions provided tailored medical advice based on the individual’s health assessments, addressing specific concerns, clarifying doubts, and recommending further tests or lifestyle modifications if necessary.
Counselor Consultation
Mental health support was a cornerstone of the camp. Participants were encouraged to share their thoughts and feelings in a safe and confidential space. The counselor provided coping strategies, stress management techniques, and guidance to promote emotional well-being, ensuring a holistic approach to health.
The camp’s holistic approach ensured that participants left with valuable insights into both their physical and mental health.
Building on Success
This event followed the success of a similar free walk-in health camp organized by WellAura in November, which received an overwhelmingly positive response. Encouraged by the community’s enthusiasm and the impact of these camps, WellAura is planning to organize more such events in the near future. These camps are part of WellAura’s mission to make health and wellness accessible to all, bridging gaps in awareness and providing expert consultations in a convenient, community-centric setting.
From the Founder’s Desk
Amie Thacker, the founder of WellAura, shared her thoughts on the initiative:
“Health and wellness are at the core of everything we stand for at WellAura. These camps are not just about offering free health assessments but about building a culture of proactive health management in our communities. Seeing people—from residents to housekeeping staff—take time out to prioritize their health, especially on a winter morning, is very encouraging.
We believe small steps like these can have a ripple effect, inspiring more people to focus on their well-being. The success of this camp reinforces our commitment to organizing more such events, ensuring that health is accessible, inclusive, and holistic. We are grateful for the trust and participation from everyone who attended.”

WellAura is dedicated to bringing health and wellness closer to communities. With plans to expand these initiatives, we aim to empower individuals to take charge of their well-being through education, screenings, and expert consultations.
