try and come up with a way to be having, you know, conversations about this with your friends and neighbors. I mean, I think that's, you know, when, you know, we, we do have more in common, you know, with our neighbors than we think, but part of not, when you don't have the conversation, you know, you don't, you don't know.

So it's awareness and being open to conversation and, and other points of view and find where the, where the common bond is. And then hopefully it'll become a movement and we'll make some positive changes for all of us. That's all. Final thoughts.

Good morning, everybody. I am excited to have Miguel here to talk about this topic because I think it is one of the, as Stan said, this is one of the most interesting topics to have in this country, but also especially in Minnesota. So I'm going to leave it there and let Stan start talking, but I have some really probing questions to ask in your opinions.

And this is health chatter, so we are not necessarily politically correct. We just want to talk, okay? All right, Stan, I'm turning it back to you.

I want to ask this question. America is often touted as the leading country in a lot of different kinds of things. I think that we know that that's not necessarily true in a lot of areas. Minnesota is often touted as one of the healthiest states in the Union. But yet, when it comes to health disparities, it isn't. And What do you think is going on?

I mean, how can we be healthy for one group of people, but not healthy for the rest of the community? What do you think is happening?

One of the things I want to say is that in this particular topic, I don't point fingers at just one group of people. I think that there's a lot of growth for a lot of different people, whether it's in providing access or whether it's providing information. about this topic.

And so I wanna say that upfront is that, sometimes in this particular topic, people like to say, well, it's their fault or our fault or whatever else, but this is a conversation that I think that we have to be really honest about, that there are some real gaps around health disparities that we as a community have to address that will benefit us by addressing them.

So that was just my comment, because I can get very pointed at times. But I'm not blaming folk. I'm just saying, hey, we have some realities that we have to talk about. So, Sam, I'm sorry. Go ahead.
