Closing General Session
The Closing General Session will take place on Wednesday, October 29, 2008 at its NEW earlier time, from 2:30 pm to 4:00 pm at the San Diego Convention Center.
  
From tobacco use and AIDS to mental health and youth violence, the office of the U.S. surgeon general has confronted some of our nation’s most vexing public health challenges. Through surgeon general’s warnings, reports and advocacy, and as the head of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, these often outspoken and sometimes controversial advocates have promoted healthier behaviors leading to healthier lives.
Join this special conversation with a distinguished panel of former surgeons general as they reflect on past achievements and explore health concerns on the horizon.
