You know, sometimes we take it as as only happening to our people, but it's happened to a lot of folks. You know, one of the things that, and I'm gonna just say this real quick as kind of as a side, but also, you know, we talk about health disparities and people think that health disparities are only among, you know, people of color. Health disparities are also rural.

that we have and why we need to be talking about trust we need to be talking about transparency we need to be talking about education and one of the things for me as a um and tony i am totally with you one of the things for me is that i believe that people from our own communities need to be talking more about these issues so that we don't have this uh this problem that we can kind of begin to minimize this problem as well yeah uh i i would totally agree with you on that

Clarence. You know, Giselle, thank you for that definition. As you were talking, as we were thinking about this particular topic, it seems as though health, the term health literacy is something of a new conversation. And I'm wondering when did it become important for people to become more aware about their knowledge about health? So for example, I am a, what am I, Generation X?
