Man Up for Your Health
Esteemed MLKCH Doctors teamed up with South LA Barbers to shed light on the crucial issue of men's health through a friendly game of basketball. This annual event organized by Wade & Associates Group, is known as the “Doctors vs. Barbers” basketball game, and is hosted by ManUp!, MLKCH’s men’s health barbershop program.
Although our doctors put up a valiant effort, the barbers emerged victorious with a score of 74 to 33. Despite the defeat, our MLKCH doctors displayed grace and sportsmanship, and everyone enjoyed a fun-filled day that included music, giveaways, food, an informative panel discussions, flu vaccinations and of course health screenings. We extend our gratitude to both the barbers and doctors for their commitment to promoting better men's health through this spirited event!
