Blackwomenshealth.com (BWH) is a company that was founded in January 1999 by David  P. Pryor, M.D., a board certified  Internal Medicine physician. We have a staff of talented  writers, including physicians, nutritionists, and a ministerial staff, as well as corporate managers and executives.

Dr. Pryor’s inspiration and vision for this company came about as a result of his daily observations and interactions with patients as a practicing physician. He witnessed the need to more effectively administer to the healthcare needs and concerns of African American women through health promotion, patient education and empowerment. Dr. Pryor has seen firsthand how one’s physical, mental and spiritual outlook impacts on physical wellness.

BlackWomensHealth.com has a simple philosophy and mission: to be the premier Internet site dedicated to promoting the physical, mental and spiritual wellness of today’s African American woman. Furthermore, the site will educate and empower women on ways to improve their health status in an effort to live happier, more productive lives.

This is an exciting, informative and interactive web site dedicated to promoting the physical, mental and spiritual wellness of today’s African American woman. With so many stressors in today’s hectic and fast-paced world, it is important to have a web site were you can go to "breathe" and nourish your mind, body and soul.

As practicing physicians, we are encouraged that a growing number of African American women are taking an interest in improving their health. We also realize, however, that African American women are still suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, AIDS and many other diseases at higher rates than other women. It does not have to be this way! Living a healthier lifestyle can prevent most of these illnesses. You can live a happier, more productive life when you feel good about yourself, get regular exercise and eat right.

At BlackWomensHealth.com, we feel strongly that to live healthier you must take into consideration the whole person, which includes physical, mental and spiritual aspects of one’s life. To that end, you will find both accurate medical information written by physicians and other health professionals, as well as motivational and self-improvement articles written by a variety of talented and caring individuals who have helped to make a difference in many people’s lives.

Welcome again and we hope that you will make this site one of your ‘homes’ on the internet.

David P. Pryor M.D.
