It was really cool.

So lots of national partners thinking about this.

But, you know, when you think about like hypertension rates in our state, we know that they're much higher for all chronic disease rates are just higher for those population groups.

And so I think, you know, knowing how integrated everything is, it's going to increase risk.

So.

Well, and Stan, one of the biggest issues regarding the populations mentioned that are experiencing health inequities, they're underrepresented in research, like big time underrepresented in research.

So if we're saying, oh, we can't prioritize certain populations in research or it's going to get defunded, it's just, it's not the right approach because we know that that's the issue.

And rightly so, right?

People aren't going to enroll in research studies without a lot of support and understanding of the impact it could have, given the history, you know, that we have in this country around that.

Right.

I do.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I can say on a positive note is that my, my hunch is that this issue is, is, is really bipartisan because it affects all communities.

I mean, there's health inequities, but people are affected by this.

And, you know, everyone you talk to has a story about, about knowing a caregiver, being a caregiver and, and,

There's this, this is the Roslyn Institute for Caregivers.

I'm not saying the name right.

But the quote is like, you're either going to be a caregiver, need a caregiver, have been a caregiver.

I think there's a fourth one I'm forgetting.
