Leader’s Biography 2001:
Co-President and CEO, Center for Health and Wellness, Wichita, KS
Tired of seeing people die of preventable illnesses, Martin, a nurse, created a state-of-the-art health center for low income African-Americans focusing on prevention and education. As an incentive for expectant mothers to make and keep prenatal appointments, they earn points to use to shop in the Center’s "Storks Nest," a closet full of baby supplies. And those without means to pay, can volunteer their time in the Center in return for services.
