2007 Health Summit Presentations

Listed below are the presentations that were submitted for viewing on the web. The majority of the presentations were PowerPoint and the file size is large on many of them. If you have dial-up connection only, you may not want to attempt files over a megabyte. Listed below are the file sizes, Kb ( Kilobytes) are smaller files vs. Mb (Megabytes) are larger. I will be adding .zip files as soon as I can for quicker downloads.
