Abstract

Health awareness is an important component in encouraging communities to conduct early detection and adopt preventive health behaviors. This community service activity aimed to increase public awareness of the importance of basic health checks and health education in Kampung Alun-Alun RT 06/RW 02, Warunggunung Village, Warunggunung District, Lebak Regency. The activity used a participatory and educational approach involving community members in registration, basic health examinations, health education, consultation, and follow-up recommendations. The examinations included blood pressure, body weight, height, body mass index, and blood glucose when available. The results showed that direct health services at the community level provided residents with opportunities to recognize their health conditions and understand the importance of regular monitoring. Health education strengthened participants’ understanding of healthy lifestyles, balanced nutrition, physical activity, risk-factor control, and the importance of further examination when necessary. The integration of health checks and education also encouraged more active community participation in preventive health efforts. The activity demonstrates that community-based health services can serve as an effective medium for promoting early detection, increasing health awareness, and encouraging preventive behaviors. Sustainable implementation through periodic health checks, continuous education, and collaboration with local health facilities is expected to strengthen community participation in maintaining health.
