Fighting health inequity in Philadelphia through barber shops and more!
Our 2022 Health Equity Grant is funding a collaborative project between Thomas Jefferson University, Temple Health, and the Frazier Family Coalition to address high amputation rates among Black men in North Philadelphia. The team is partnering with barber shops and a local community center to educate and screen men for peripheral artery disease, the leading cause of amputations, as well as train health professionals to provide preventative care.
