Barbershop Initiative

The Barbershop Initiative reaches men where many gather. The goal is to prevent illness and early death among African-American men. Partners include the American Heart Association and The Fulton-DeKalb Hospital Authority.

The initiative holds events that:

• Provide blood pressure and blood glucose screenings.
• Host speakers on health issues, as well as on fatherhood, mental health, personal finance and other topics.
• Offer referrals to services.
