Spring Term at POIC's Rosemary Anderson High School brought another terrific installation of MIKE Program. Keeping in traditon with past MIKE Program groups, the youth volunteers designed their Team T-shirt. This year's shirt demonstrated the difference between a healthy kidney and a diseased kidney, as well as what foods and beverages are good for kidneys versus which substances have negative effects.
