Based on where you're headed in the city of Minneapolis, and then I also want to talk about how we might compare to other places in the country. But for right now in Minneapolis, are your initiatives focused on which of those arenas? Prevention more? I would assume not acute treatment because that's not in the public health domain, but disease management could be.

I personally think, Clarence, you could probably react to this for sure.
