The head of Cedars-Sinai’s hypertension center will use a $8.5 million grant to help train black barbers to check men for high blood pressure, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center announced today.“Uncontrolled hypertension is one of the biggest health problems facing the African-American community today,” said Dr. Ronald G. Victor, who published a study in 2011 showing that a barber shop-based outreach could help save hundreds of lives.
