I originally started this project to see if there were any connections between EMTALA violations and per-capita opioid use. While I didn’t find anything interesting there, I ended up down a rabbit hole learning about the history of EMTALA and correlation between private equity hospitals and violations.

This was a prototype of my capstone, built for my Interactive Visual Design class. Since it’s Proof of Concept/design direction, some of the spacing, visuals, and wording are a little rough still.

The leaves were hand-drawn, and I did intend on using them in my capstone but unfortunately they made the file size too large for Vev’s image hosting.
