So let's get the show going here. Community Preventative Services Network. task force and the guide. So let's first start with what is this? What is this guide? And first of all, is this the first iteration? I can answer that question. But for our listening audience, is this the first iteration? What makes it useful? Who uses it? These types of questions. Let's start with that.

So, you know, one thing that came to my mind when I read through all the information was, all right, how does this guide complement healthy people and the objectives for the nation? So in other words, and by the way, one of our own here in Minnesota, Nico Prank was on the show a while back and talked to because he was co-chairing Healthy People and the development of that.
