HEALTHY NABJ
Healthy NABJ, launched in 2009, has evolved into a key component of NABJs annual convention. The Healthy NABJ
programming track at the annual NABJ convention provides information to help NABJ members make wise health choices for
themselves while improving the quality of critical information they disseminate to their broader audiences in a nation struggling
with a plethora of health issues. The Healthy NABJ booths in the exhibit hall provide an opportunity for journalists to interact with,
and receive information from, health leaders in the pubic and private sectors. Health screenings are also offered in several booths.
