Students spent March 3-5, 2007 at the 10th Annual Health  Education Summit in Washington,  D.C., where presentations were given by the director of CDC's National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Senator Kennedy's chief health staffer, and the director of CDC's REACH program.

The  trip also included visits to Capitol Hill  where students discussed important health issues with Congressional staff members. This year, they met Senator Cardin, who joined them for a group photo.
