Community Health Takes a Village: screening in the Barber’s Chair A barbershop can be more than a place for a haircut. Familiar surroundings and trusted relationships can make it easier to talk about health and take the next step towards screening and care. In the second film in the It Takes a Village series, Dr John Gregory, CEO of the National Center for Urban Solutions and parent company of the African American Male Wellness Agency (AAMWA), explains why bringing the clinic to the community matters and how local partnerships can create trusted pathways to care. Too many people still face barriers to preventing, diagnosing and managing heart disease and cancer. To help close gaps in care, Novartis is working alongside local partners to bring health information, screening and pathways to care closer to communities facing the greatest barriers, while scaling its community health programs from 11 to more than 30 countries by 2030.
