IPFW Students, Faculty, and Staff to Help with 2013 Black Barbershop Outreach in Fort Wayne
(April 11, 2013) – The Third Annual Black Barbershop Health Outreach Program takes place this Saturday, April 13, in ten Fort Wayne barbershops. The program began as a grassroots effort to bring health screenings and information to African American men in a place where they feel comfortable—their local barbershops.
This year, Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW) community/public health nursing students will be conducting free blood pressure, blood glucose, and cholesterol screenings and offering free information on prostate health at five of the participating barbershops. The screenings will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
