National Day of Service

HealthCorps^® Participates in Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service as Part of ServiceNation

As part of the ServiceNation Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service, HealthCorps Coordinators and students nationwide marked the birth of the civil rights leader by giving back to their community through service.

In the Bronx, HealthCorps^® Founder and Chairman, Dr. Mehmet Oz helped the 6 Elements of Fitness gym educate Bronx residents about the importance of fitness and good diet during an open house at the gym. New York City Councilman Tony Avella, former NBA star John Starks, Rock 'n' Roll Hall-of-Famer Melle Mel, Broadway legend Stepp Stewart, and Cardiologist Alan Gass all participated in the free day-long event. 6 Elements of Fitness is located at 803 Prospect Ave. in the Bronx and offers affordable daily and monthly rates in an underserved community.

At 6 Elements of Fitness, students and other community members received free personal training and healthy cooking demonstrations from the staff of 6 Elements of Fitness and HealthCorps Coordinators. In other parts of the country, HealthCorps Coordinators and students conducted food drives, cleaned up schools, renovated homes, painted murals in schools, and engaged in many other service programs to give back to the communities in which they work.
