The method carried out in this service is to use the method of health examination and health counseling. The stages of implementation in this service activity are divided into 6 parts, namely: the licensing stage, coordination with cadres and RW leaders, medical examinations, reading results, counseling, and evaluation. Evaluation is carried out by 2 methods, namely the pre-test and post-test methods. The results of counseling and examination can have a positive impact on the community, especially for the health of the elderly.
