Special Olympics staff, global clinical advisors and clinical directors, representing all of the regions, came together in Miami, Florida, in early December 2007. The goal of this conference was to reflect on how Healthy Athletes has grown in the past 10 years and to brainstorm and strategize where the Healthy Athletes Program can and should go in the future. You will read more about the meeting in this newsletter, along with a goodbye from Dr. Mark Wagner, as he retires from his position as Vice President of Health Services. We hope you enjoy hearing about some of the great things and good people that make the Healthy Athletes Program what it is today. Please remember that we want to share what you are doing; let us know if you have an exciting story. Thank you for all of your contributions, including time, energy and professional skills. Sandra S.
