Overview
High blood pressure is serious and usually has no signs—you can feel fine and still be at risk. Check your blood pressure at Major League Barbershop to stay on top of your heart health.
What is B/Pressure? It's is a new initiative that lets you check your blood pressure while getting a haircut, and helps you connect to primary care. The project is a team effort led by Major League Barbershop, local healthcare providers, the American Heart Association, and Better Health Partnership. This initiative is supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Molina Healthcare of Ohio.
