And, and, and do something that you like doing, you know, if you want to eat a chocolate donut, do it. If it makes you feel better, you know, what the heck, you know, don't, or yeah, just don't eat a whole box of them with that. Um, We hope that everybody keeps health chatting away. We hope that everybody supports one another with, frankly, with whatever grief is going on for any of us.

Hello everybody, welcome to Health Chatter and today's show is on the state of Minnesota cancer plan, but I'm only guessing that all the different objectives that we're going to be talking about for this particular state plan is appropriate for many of the other states in the country as well.

She currently works as a manager and consultant with the Mayo Clinic in their strategy department, where she advises on strategies for systems and procedures for clinical practice optimization and enhancement. It's interesting, my daughter in Boston works in that area, in cancer, actually.

Also, she's involved a lot with health equity, which also overlaps with a lot of the different objectives in the state plan. So thank you. Thank you so much for being with us. By the way, she also serves as the vice chair of the Minnesota Cancer Alliance, which frankly was involved in developing this. this plan that we're going to be talking about today. So thank you very, very much.

So let's get this show going here. Let's talk about the answer in general. You know, from your perspective, Sumita, cancer obviously is one of the major chronic diseases that we're facing in the country. Ironically, and maybe sadly, in the state of Minnesota, cancer is the number one cause of death in Minnesota.
