Abstract

This community service program aimed to improve community knowledge of healthy living practices, disease prevention, and the importance of regular health examinations in Air Hitam Village, Langkat Regency, Indonesia. The program was conducted over four days, from June 4 to 7, 2026, involving 60 community participants (n = 60). Activities included health education, basic health examinations, risk factor screening, health consultations, and knowledge evaluation using pre-test and post-test questionnaires. The data were analyzed descriptively to assess changes in participants’ knowledge and summarize health screening results. The mean knowledge score increased from 62.3 before the intervention to 87.5 afterward, representing an improvement of 25.2 points. The proportion of participants classified as having good knowledge increased from 36.7% to 90.0%. Basic health examinations identified 12 participants (20.0%) with elevated blood pressure requiring further assessment, while 48 participants (80.0%) had blood pressure within the normal range. The integrated program provided a practical approach to health education, early risk identification, and community engagement. However, the findings represent short-term program evaluation and do not establish causal effectiveness or long-term behavioral change
