Our nationally unique web site provides authoritative, user-friendly, credible and culturally relevant minority - multicultural health information and promotion services for:

  Disease Prevention
  Early Disease Detection
  Disease Control

Health Power’s Web Celebrations and Web Honorees highlight outstanding individual and organizational leaders of key racial/ethnic groups and/or health areas that affect their longevity. Because each celebration also provides key information about the health status, interests, issues and needs of these populations, we invite you to visit our Past Web celebrations and Past Honorees for broader cultural enlightenment before leaving the web site, or by scheduling time to visit these areas.

You will understand better why Health Power is saluting B. Waine Kong, Ph.D., J.D., after you read the Health Power Kong interview. Further, his responses to several questions (in italics for the user’s convenience) provide a variety of words of wisdom and insight.
