About Health Power Web Celebrations and Honorees
Because Health Power's mission is improving the health of multicultural/minority populations, and thus decreasing racial and ethnic health disparities, our Past Web Celebrations and the related Past Honorees reflect the necessity for excellence in the specific area of celebration. Our honorees have made outstanding and nationally noteworthy contributions related to the achievement of multicultural/minority health. Within this context, we underscore that Health Power's definition of health is a combination of physical, mental and spiritual health.
Individuals who choose to devote substantial and long-term efforts to activities to improve multicultural/minority health, and organizations that support their efforts in a substantial way - financially or otherwise - are not only contributing to achievement of multicultural/minority health, but by definition, but also simultaneously improving the health of the nation as a whole.
While the organizations with which most of our honorees are affiliated have no specific relationship with Health Power at the time of honoree selection, we are pleased when the opportunity presents itself to publicly salute individuals and/or organizations that we collaborate with to achieve our mission. Prominent among our collaborative efforts with non-profit and governmental organizations are our Cross-linked Web Partners.
On review of our Past Honorees, and the description of their contributions and achievements in our Past Web Celebrations, it is readily apparent why Health Power chose to salute and honor them. Further, in doing so we contribute in disseminating information carried in these celebrations to ever widening audiences of interest.
