That's the question. Okay. All right, here we go. Here we go. I want to ask this question because it just popped up in my mind. How did cardiovascular health and diabetes join together to work on this plan? What was the impetus behind that?

I am just, I'm glad to hear that. And I'm really hoping because, you know, when I think about community and, you know, I mean, this is important news for people to be talking about, you know, and I'm hoping that there is a plan to talk very clearly about the connection between the two because, you know, we think of them as two different things.

Yeah, yeah. So let me say this real quick because I know we're coming to the end of our program. This conversation did not emerge like I thought it was going to. It's very positive though. What I want to tell you is very positive because I think in what you have described has been the community engagement aspect, which I thought was so needed for the work that we're trying to do.

I mean, you have not talked so much about the clinical aspect of it as much as about the community engagement. And so I think I feel much more engaged myself with this plan because I see our voices in there. I see the fact that the way that the leadership talks about it, I feel very comfortable that we should be able to do more in terms of our community. So thank you very much from my perspective

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

No, I was going to say, I think if you can give us information on how we could locate the state plan and talk about it, I think our listeners would love to do that.
