Hello, everybody. Welcome to Health Chatter. Today is, in my estimation, a special edition because we're going to be dealing with two subjects, namely cardiovascular health and diabetes as it relates to a new disease. brand new state plan that's being published or was published just a couple of days ago in the state of Minnesota. We have two great guests with us.
We'll get to those two great people in just a moment. In the meantime, as always, I like to recognize our illustrious staff that without them, Clarence and I would be lost altogether. We have great researchers that do background research and and give us some good talking points. That includes Maddie Levine-Wolfe, Aaron Collins, and Deandra Howard.
Matthew Campbell is our production guru without his logistics. All these shows would not get out to you, the listening audience. So thank you to Matthew. And then finally, Sheridan Nygaard helps us not only with research, but also marketing the show. So thank you to everybody. Then of course, there's my partner in crime in getting health chatter out for all of you. And that's Clarence Jones.
Clarence and I go back a long ways. He's a great community health organizer and professional. And I really appreciate his insights. I've learned a lot from him. Whoa, all these shows that we've done. So with that, let's get on to, oh, and by the way, we have a good partnership, right? With Human Partnership, who actually does some sponsoring of this show.
You can visit them at humanpartnership.com. Org. Yeah. I always get that wrong, don't I? Yeah. Dot org. Humanpartnership.org. Check them out. Great community organization. So with that, let's get into our great people that are with us today. And that includes two colleagues I've worked with for a long time. Dr. Courtney Jordan, bachelor who's got her MD, actually got all of her trainings.
at the University of Minnesota, her medical degree, her degree in public health and epidemiology and public policy. She's board certified internist, cardiologist, and is involved in a lot of different things way beyond, frankly, just the field of cardiology. Her insights and her passion to try to affect change to make us all healthy is really second to none.
You'll see her total bio on our website, so check it out. But just a dear, dear friend and colleague. So Courtney. Thank you for being with us. And then there's Jim Peacock. Jim and I have a great history. We worked together for many, many years at the health department in the cardiovascular unit. He started there back in 2007, wasn't it, Jim?
And to be honest with you, the listening audience is probably the best hire I ever did. He and I were like... linked at the hip. And it's just incredible interactions that we have had over the years and from different perspectives. But his training is a doctorate in epidemiology and his master's in public health. And I always have appreciated Jim's perspective as an epidemiologist.
And he recalls this as like, it's one thing to know the data and just to present that. But he always has always carried the torch of, so what? How is it that we can, based on the knowledge that we get from analyzing all this information, how is it that we can affect And he has really, really carried that torch professionally.
