We have a wonderful guest with us, Dr. Miguel Ruiz. is an internal medicine and palliative care specialist, has been in the state of Minnesota for 25 years. Nice chunk of time. After working as an internist at one of our community health clinics,
He now practices at Regions Hospitals where he works as hospice medicine physician and a palliative care specialist, assistant professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of Minnesota. And he is currently a co-sponsor of the Regions Health Equity Committee and has a special, special interest in the subject that we're talking about today today. So many, many thanks for being with us.
This is a complicated subject. And I know that you have some great insights. So thank you for being with us, Miguel. I really appreciate it. Clarence.
Good morning, everybody. I am excited to have Miguel here to talk about this topic because I think it is one of the, as Stan said, this is one of the most interesting topics to have in this country, but also especially in Minnesota. So I'm going to leave it there and let Stan start talking, but I have some really probing questions to ask in your opinions.
