TO EMPOWER COMMUNITIES INVESTED IN IMPROVING HOLISTIC HEALTH

We modeled our organization, and were inspired by the teachings and doings of Bhagat Puran Singh. We are a nonprofit 501c3 organization certificate. with tax ID #454451280 all donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. Bhagat Puran Singh Health Initiative is dedicated to providing health screenings and education to the South Asian community. We cannot do this without your support!
Our Story
The Bhagat Puran Singh Health Initiative, or BPSHI, began with a small group of passionate students in UC Davis and Sacramento State. They came together to organize a free health screening at their local gurudwara. Inspired by their efforts to provide selfless service, many other students created chapters in their undergraduate institutions and communities.
Today, BPSHI is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with 12 chapters in California, one in Chicago, one in Philadelphia, and counting! Our volunteers across BPSHI work in partnership with their local communities to host free health screenings but also have led their own new initiatives. Together they are working to initiate important health conversations, provide relevant resources, and exchange in learning with their local community members.
Real-time Impact
Here is a recent case study from one of our clinics:
One morning, during our clinics, a 45 year old man approached me with a big smile on his face and hugged me. I was perturbed at first because I didn’t remember him, and then he reminded me that he had had his glucose levels checked at the clinic back in February. I recalled a middle aged truck driver who had looked depressed, weak and fatigued with a distinct tingling in his feet and hands indications of diabetic neuropathy who had visited us back then. His blood glucose level was 500+ and we had immediately informed him that this was serious. We advised that he go to his employer and ask for health insurance since he didn’t have anything of that sort. We also provided him some health education on diabetes and information on some free clinics in the area and he was on his way.
I was looking at the face of the same truck driver today, utterly transformed. This was the same man 8 months later and it was obvious he had heeded to our advice. He was full of energy, happy, and thankful to be seeing us again. It turns out that his employer got him on Kaiser and the doctors and staff there put him on proper medications and recommended lifestyle modifications to help him live a better life. This profoundly changed his life and brought a new transformation over the past 8 months. These changes were apparent, and nothing short of amazing.
When I recognized him and he spoke to me about this, I experienced one of the most humbling moments of my life. It is a moment that I cannot forget and cannot describe. I wish I could capture that emotion and share it with you in a better way, but this will have to do. I realized that every small thing we do has the capacity to bring about profound change in the lives of others. The realization totally humbled me. Clinics like this are important, both for men like the truck driver who realized the seriousness of his disease and for people like me, who really want to help in any way possible. I want to thank all of you since a clinic like this could not be possible without you.
