Witnessing significant healthcare disparities firsthand in the Appalachian community inspired Dr. Dimitri Tito to found The Body Screening Project. What began as a local community health project in Petersburg, West Virginia, in 2018 has since expanded its reach and impact. Our mission is to create a healthier world for all by providing free health screenings, preventive education, mentorship, and social advocacy. We are committed not only to addressing immediate health concerns but also to empowering individuals with the knowledge and resources needed for long-term well-being.
