Knowledge about the importance of maintaining health around the community of Wakde Village, Sarmi Regency is still classified as moderate, the location of Health Facilities is quite far away making people reluctant to carry out routine non-communicable disease checks. The purpose of this community service activity is to provide knowledge through socialization as well as conduct health checks to determine cholesterol and glucose levels in the community in Wakde Village, Sarmi Regency. The method of activity is through socialization and free health checks. The results of the cholesterol examination of 84 people found 11 people (13%) with high cholesterol, and in the glucose examination found 43 people (51%) with high blood glucose.  Based on the results of the health checks obtained and the socialization provided, it is hoped that the community can increase awareness about the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and always check their health at Health Facilities that have been prepared by the Government.
