I have a great colleague, two great colleagues, Clarence Jones and Barry Baines, who help us get information out to you in some kind of a logical order based on all the things that are going on in health.

Clarence has been with the show since day one.

Barry's been with us as our medical advisor for about a little over a year now.

So thanks to both of you.

It's great having you as well.

So thanks again to all of you.

So today, Alzheimer's.

And wow, there's a lot that's going on in this field.

And we have a wonderful, wonderful guest with us, Patty Takawira, who I've known for a while.

She's truly a dear colleague.

Patty and I were, she worked with me in the cardiovascular unit when she first started at the Minnesota Department of Health.

But now at the Department of Health, she leads the Aging and Healthy Communities Unit

within the Center for Health Promotion.

Works with a small but mighty team, as she describes it at MDH, passionate about advancing health equity, which we're gonna get into as it relates to Alzheimer's, for sure.

Her work focuses on collaborating with statewide partners to create solutions to help reduce dementia risk.
