African Americans and minorities are disproportionately affected by a range of chronic health conditions, largely because minority populations are not receiving recommended health screenings, preventive care, and early treatment. Live Chair Health sets forth to harness the power of human connection to close the life expectancy gap of African Americans one barber shop at a time.
