Enhanced delivery of quality whole person care and ensure all people have access to the necessary resources. Okay, so Courtney and Jim, just respond overall to those outcomes that we're trying to do today.

You know, it's interesting, historically, and Jim, you and I can reflect on this, good, bad, or indifferent, when you get funding mechanisms that require that you have state plans. Okay, so like from the Centers for Disease Control, they required that the state of Minnesota, in this case, actually every state in the country, have a state plan for cardiovascular and a state plan for diabetes. Okay.

Okay.

Then when they loosened it up altogether and they say, well, we're not requiring that you have plans, then that kind of opened up the gates for like the state of Minnesota to say, hey, why don't we all talk together? OK, and put it all together in one.

You know, it's, I know, I was kind of chuckling, frankly, as I was reading this plan, because I know that epidemiologists will say, will ask this very question, how in the hell are we going to measure this? Okay. And

I kept thinking in the back of my head, and those of you who know, I've often signed off on emails with an infamous quote from Albert Einstein, who basically said, not everything that counts can be counted. And not everything that is counted counts. So when you really think about that, that really intersects beautifully with this plan. Epidemiologists will say, hey, you know what?

We'll still be able to report how many people died and how many people had heart attacks and how many people had strokes and et cetera, et cetera. We'll still be able to do that while hopefully the success of the plan will be inherently going forward with all these different objectives and strategies.

And then when we look at the data, we'll be able to say, geez, you know, something must be going on right here because we're seeing decreases in deaths, we're seeing decreases in strokes. So anyway, all right, so epidemiologists respond.

You know, like I said, I read through this plan and in my mind, I kind of closed it and I sat back and I really felt good. And so I would encourage listeners, take 10 minutes and go through this plan because I guarantee you there will be something in this plan That will make you feel good that, yeah, this is a good direction to take. It's not as technically or medically oriented.

It's really getting down to us and what we really need to do to affect change and make us all feel healthy. So, you know, I encourage everybody, look at it. Pick something in there that's of interest to you and see how it is that you can link with another partner to affect change. I personally think this is a feel-good plan. There's stuff in it, frankly, for everyone. Clarence.
