Company description HealthMPowers mission is to empower healthy habits and transform environments where children live, learn and play. A non-profit 501(C)(3) organization, HealthMPowers was founded in 1999 to promote healthy eating and physical activity in schools using the evidence-based guidelines established by the CDC.
