An Iowa barber named Craig Hunt is using his own health scare to help others.
Ten years ago, Craig suffered a stroke while he was working. Now, in partnership with the American Heart Association of Iowa, he is helping lead a program called Blood Pressures in Barbershops.
The program brings local nurses into barbershops to offer free blood pressure checks and teach people how to recognize the early warning signs of a stroke.
