“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Healthy NewsWorks for the last several years,” Omar said. “The cause is worthy, like many others, but it was the people behind the cause that convinced me that this was an amazing organization. They all have passion and drive for the goals and vision and that’s what makes Healthy NewsWorks special.”
