Barbershop Blood Pressure
Barbershop & Hair Salon Blood Pressure and Heart Rhythm Screening
Cleveland Barber who lost clients to heart disease and wanted to help.
Men and women with High Blood Pressure or the irregular heart rhythm Atrial Fibrillation (AFib), usually have no symptoms and are not aware of these problems until they have a stroke, a heart attack or worse. ​
​
Barbershops and Hair Salons are woven into their communities, giving them credibility and trust with their clients. Hundreds of sites around the world have extended their services to include screening their clients for High Blood Pressure and AFib.
Buffalo Barbershop & Hair Salon saying... “It’s about life.”
Kareem Abdul Jabbar on his story about AFib.
Newer automated Blood Pressure monitors take less than a minute and medical studies have confirmed the positive impact on their clients’ and community's health.​
Early detection and regular monitoring are keys to preventing these life-threatening problems. Barbers and Hair Stylists: Contact Us to receive your free Blood Pressure monitor which also detects Atrial Fibrillation.
Individuals: Talk with your Barber or Hair Stylist to let them know about this opportunity to make a greater difference in their clients lives and improve the health of their community.

Strong Heart Foundation
If you would like to help us grow our programs, we would be excited to talk with you. Contact Us and let’s talk about how we can work together to help your community and the world.
The Strong Heart Foundation was created by a nurse, Steve Miller, along with the employees of EPreward and Medical Materials, companies that acquire used and expired medical devices to have them repurposed, rather than being thrown out in the trash. Steve himself unknowingly developed Atrial Fibrillation and had a stroke in 2023. The left half of his body went numb and weak and he was rushed to the ER. Fortunately, those symptoms improved and he was released from the hospital. He personally knows what is at stake.
Our goal is to improve healthcare and life for everyone, especially those who do not have regular medical care. We invite you to Join Us in our cause or help support the Strong Heart Foundation. No executive of Strong Heart receives any financial compensation. All donations are used for the Strong Heart Foundation’s programs and for Strong Heart’s employees that assist our programs and help them grow. Thank you.
The total cost for each blood pressure/heart rhythm monitor, batteries, battery charger, posters, written information, shipping, etc. is about $100.
$100 provides regular screening for about 100 people or $1 per person. For every $1 donated you are helping one person.
Your donation will be greatly appreciated by the people that you help, and you can feel pride in the lives you have positively affected.
