challenges is healthcare. As the President and many others
have noted, health and well-being is multi-factorial and is
inextricably linked to other issues such as the environment,
unemployment, etc. As future healthcare leaders, we can

What are the goals of Project Insight?

| accompanied by a 100 word statement on what the photo/video reveals and how this affects the community. |
What will happen to the photo/video you or your chapter submits?
| Your Photo/video submissions and essays will be reviewed by the Health Policy and Legislative Affairs | |
| committee and could be featured in an upcoming JSNMA. Additionally, these images and statements will be compiled to serve as the SNMA's voice for Health Equity. |
How do you and your chapter benefit for participating in this initiate?

| hazards that affect the health of your community to developing tangible solutions/recommendations that local, state, and federal policy makers can utilize to improve the conditions of our environment. |
