Blood Pressure Screening
Free blood pressure checks to help detect hypertension early and connect community members with resources for management.

JP Hair Design is home to the nation's first Men's Health & Education Center inside a barbershop, transforming how communities access healthcare.
In 2018, JP Hair Design became home to a groundbreaking initiative: the nation's first Men's Health & Education Center inside a barbershop. This partnership with Rebalanced Life Wellness Association has transformed how Black men access healthcare in Madison.
By meeting men where they already gather, the center removes barriers to healthcare access. Free screenings, health education, and trusted conversations happen naturally in a comfortable, familiar environment.
