Our nation is faced with major health crises such as chronic illnesses, drug and alcohol addictions, infectious diseases, and obesity. With the increase of technological platforms, such as social media, these issues are gaining the attention of our youth. Now more than ever, we need new generations of health advocates to come forward and work towards preventing a great number of these issues.
