Dr. Warne's D.C. trip this week!

Dr. Warne presented at the White House Rural Council meeting on Rural Child Poverty in conjunction with the National Association of Counties.  While in DC, he was able to meet with US Senator Heidi Heitkamp (ND) and with Deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services Dr. Mary Wakefield (also from ND!).  It was a good couple days in DC and NDSU public health programs are well-represented and supported at the highest levels of government.
