Medical Advisory Board
The multi member HealthMax Medical Advisory Board is comprised primarily of licensed medical professionals representing the multiple disciplines across the conventional and complementary medicine spectrum. These professionals include: MDs - Medical Doctors, DOs - Doctors of Osteopathy, ARNPs, Ph.Ds, PA-Cs, DPMs, NDs, DCs, Dentists and other primary and allied health care professionals. We round out the board by adding representation from other areas such as occupational health, banking, communications, information technology, research technology, and lay personnel. The multi-faceted medical advisory board gives us varied perspectives from several vantage points regarding our programs, products and services.

Our Medical Advisory Board endorses only the programs and products which are considered outstanding based on our review of the manufacturing or sponsoring company, the quality of the products, and the ongoing service commitments. To cover the healthcare spectrum, we have arrangements with other reputable companies that develop or provide many of our integrated healthcare resources. Likened to the "Good Health-Keeping" seal of approval, nothing is placed in the HealthMax product line without approval from members of the Medical Advisory Board. Our medical team continuously searches for the best resources to update our information and products as appropriate. We also welcome the opportunity to co-develop customized proprietary products and services with our strategic partners.

The following people have been selected by Dr. Cherewatenko and the staff of HealthMax by virtue of their expertise and knowledge of  particular areas in health care. All of these individuals have demonstrated a dedication to the vision of integrated health care. It is through our collective efforts and synergistic alliances that we will positively improve the health of our nation.

In addition to the members of the HealthMax Advisory Board we seek the input of other highly respected and recognized experts via their written publications, recommendations and personal interactions.  Though a formal relationship may not exist with these individuals we choose to identify them for the benefit of our patients and professionals as Health and Wellness Advisory Panel Members.  The Advisory Panel is essentially a living bibliography of those we hold in the highest regard and to whom we routinely reference in our health and wellness educational materials. 

The following are current members of the HealthMax Medical Advisory Board

Vern S. Cherewatenko, MD, MEd

It has been our vision to bring together a meeting of the minds; the finest minds in the health care and wellness industry to sit at a virtual table without prejudice or pretence and synergistically work together to improve the health of our nation and of our international associates. To see things differently is a valuable resource. To foster the freedom of choices and options for those seeking care is a benefit to all. To establish a credible advisory board, validating the science behind both natural and traditional medical, can and will benefit both industries. The concept of wellness medicine is growing exponentially. As it becomes more established it will continue to provide leading edge health and longevity resources to our populations.

The transformation in health care has been occurring since the introduction of our mission at the initial HealthMax, A Prescription For 21st Century Health Care conference in Seattle in 1996. Our collective efforts have educated people to better understand the biology of their bodies.  Through our various programs, products and services they  have access to a host of credible resources to guide them to a better state of health and wellness in their years to come. We will continue our global mission through our educational seminars; HealthMax, A Prescription For 21st Century Health Care via a wide range of multimedia conferences and seminars.
