A Health Hero has discovered the difference between a successful outcome and a life overtaken by illness or adversity…It is time to celebrate those who choose to be in the drivers seat of their lives!
WHAT IS A HEALTH HERO?
At Ask Dr. Nandi! we developed the term #HealthHero as a way to describe health inspiring individuals. These people have literally saved their own lives by making their health the #1 priority. Their experience with the challenges in their lives, and their well-being, made clear the devastation awaiting those that took it for granted.
The least we can do is take a few minutes to celebrate them, the challenges they have overcome, and the healthy, spiritual life they have chosen to live.
Help us celebrate the #HealthHero in your life!
