Dr. Ingida Asfaw, a Detroit-based cardiovascular surgeon and clinical professor of surgery at Wayne State's School of Medicine, has been named "America's Greatest Hometown Hero" in the 4th Annual Volvo for Life Awards. His reward is receiving a complimentary new Volvo every three years for the rest of his life. The Volvo for Life Awards was launched in 2002, calling for people nationwide to nominate a local hero. Asfaw created the Ethiopian North American Health Professionals Association (ENAHPA), an international coalition that addresses his native Ethiopia's medical crises.
