This qualitative study analyzes the actualization of Pancasila's values within the operations and impact of Posyandu activities, which have transformed into Integrated Primary Services (ILP) in Mojoroto Gang 7, Mojoroto District, Kediri City. Pancasila, as the nation's ideology, should be manifested in community initiatives like Posyandu, which focus on well-being. Data were collected through participant observation and in-depth interviews with key informants. Findings indicate that although the value of Ketuhanan Yang Maha Esa (Belief in One Supreme God) is formally present in prayers, religious awareness has not yet become a driver of active participation. The value of Kemanusiaan yang Adil dan Beradab (Just and Civilized Humanity) is reflected in courteous service, yet the transformation of ILP to a school setting poses accessibility challenges for vulnerable groups. The spirit of Persatuan Indonesia (Unity of Indonesia) through gotong royong (mutual cooperation) is evident, but participation tends to be limited to mothers and the elderly. The value of Kerakyatan yang Dipimpin oleh Hikmat Kebijaksanaan dalam Permusyawaratan/Perwakilan (Democracy Guided by the Inner Wisdom in the Unanimity Arising Out of Deliberations Among Representatives) faces obstacles in explicit participatory deliberation mechanisms and citizen feedback. Lastly, Keadilan Sosial bagi Seluruh Rakyat Indonesia (Social Justice for All Indonesians) has not been fully realized, as basic services at Posyandu/ILP remain limited, and comprehensive access depends on external parties. The discussion links findings to relevant literature, identifies problems, and offers innovative solutions. It is concluded that there is a gap between Pancasila's idealism and on-the-ground practice, necessitating the strengthening of inclusivity and equitable services. Recommendations include integrating spiritual motivation, improving accessibility, expanding gotong royong participation, strengthening deliberation, and cross-sectoral coordination to achieve more optimal and equitable Pancasila-based health services at the community level.
