Signature Event

The Black Man’s Health Festival® is HBS’s flagship, large-scale community experience dedicated to celebrating, uplifting, and supporting Black men through holistic health and wellness. Hosted annually in Brooklyn, the festival brings together hospitals, medical professionals, community organizations, and wellness practitioners to provide free access to screenings, resources, and services.

The event blends traditional and nontraditional approaches to care, featuring fitness classes, mental health support, holistic healing services, and culturally relevant programming designed to nourish the mind, body, and soul. As the festival continues to grow, HBS is expanding its reach nationally to bring this model to cities across the country.

Signature Event

Hooping for Healing is a dynamic, co-ed wellness experience that uses the power of sport to engage Black men and boys, alongside the broader community, in conversations around mental, physical, and emotional health. Timed alongside National Suicide Prevention Month, the event features 3-on-3 basketball tournaments, health screenings, and access to culturally responsive wellness resources.

Beyond the court, Hooping for Healing transforms recreational spaces into wellness hubs, where participants can engage with healthcare providers, peer educators, and community partners. By combining competition, community, and care, the event creates an accessible and impactful entry point into health awareness, connection, and action.

Signature Monthly Programming

Vitals & Vision is a monthly health conversation series designed to empower Black men and their communities to take ownership of their health, legacy, and longevity. Each session creates a safe, culturally grounded space for open dialogue on critical topics including heart disease, mental health, cancer, and preventative care.

Led by medical professionals, survivors, and wellness leaders, the series blends education with lived experience, offering practical tools, real conversations, and on-site resources. More than a discussion, Vitals & Vision is a movement toward shifting the narrative from silence to strength and from awareness to action

Signature Monthly Programming
