With the support of the Hospital Authority and Department of Health, the Hong Kong Centre for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention was established by the Hong Kong Tuberculosis, Chest and Heart Diseases Association in June 2003. The Centre focuses on organising health promotion and disease prevention activities to promote a healthy lifestyle for the good of community in Hong Kong. In recognition of Professor Peggy Lam's generous donation and dedication towards the mission of our Association, the Centre was re-named to "Peggy Lam Health Promotion and Education Centre" in March 2011.
