Summary

Reader Shannon Roosma-Goldstein, MPH, BSN, RN, NPD-BC recently reached out to me because a professional healthcare organization she belongs to had sent her an email encouraging her, as a member, to participate with the organization in the “Million Pound Challenge.” In Part 1 we’ll look at the basic issues with the challenge and who is behind it. In part 2 we’ll look at the details of the program, and in part 3 we’ll talk about what you can do if your workplace announces a program like this, including with sample letters written by Shannon that you can use as a template.
