The time to act is now !

Welcome to the official site of The Black Barbershop Health Outreach Program. Addressing healthcare disparities and cardiovascular disease in African American men is critical and will require creativity, innovation and hard work. Because African American men are disproportionately affected by diabetes and hypertension more than any other ethnic group, creative and innovative outreach is critical.

Our goal is to facilitate education, early detection and referral to the appropriate healthcare partner in the cities where we are present. By screening African American men for both diabetes and hypertension in various barbershops around the country, we will save lives and address health care disparities from within our communities.
