Lives Changed
Behind every statistic is a person. Here are some of the stories from men whose lives were changed through our programs.
“A routine screening at my barbershop found my blood pressure was dangerously high. I had no idea. The team connected me with the Perry Clinic, and now it's under control.”
- James T.
Hypertension detected and treated
“I was pre-diabetic and didn't know it. The screening caught it early, and with lifestyle changes, I've avoided diabetes entirely.”
- DeShawn M.
Pre-diabetes reversed through lifestyle changes
