Summit in the Community

Summit's Outreach and Prevention Program keeps us involved locally and nationally with schools, businesses, and other organizations. We visit health fairs and conferences, and we participate in National Eating Disorders Awareness Week events every year. Sometimes you'll even see us on television, or hear us on the radio.

We make it part of our mission to connect with our community. We know that raising awareness about eating disorders is key in prevention.
