A new feature at Chesapeake Conference's Camp Meeting this year was a community health expo, offering free health screenings and wellness counseling.

The event drew a strong response from the public, with many attendees learning about it through Facebook ads, signs and radio announcements. Area Seventh-day Adventist churches in Hagerstown played a key role in organizing and staffing the expo. Guests were invited to the evening “Hope Rising” meetings, and many expressed interest in attending future events. Plans are already underway for additional health initiatives in the region.
