Welcome
The Indiana Commission on the Social Status of Black Males (ICSSBM) will host its Annual Indiana Black Barbershop Health Initiative (IBBHI) for the 12th year beginning on Saturday, April 6, from 9:00am to 3:00pm, in Evansville IN. The IBBHI will be held in conjunction with local community partners in 11 cities across Indiana providing free blood glucose testing and blood pressure readings. Informational handouts on healthy lifestyles and exercise will also be available.
In addition, individuals can participate in free physical and mental health assessments at www.IBBHI.com. By providing these free screenings, the IBBHI not only lets the participants know their health risks but also provides resource material to seek proper medical attention.
The purpose of these outreach events is to inform and educate Black males to understand potential risk factors regarding their health and address any health issues discovered through testing.
