Folks that aren't able to manage their blood pressure often have another one of these. These conditions are so intersecting. We wanted to make sure that, you know, we were able to talk again about this whole person as much as we could with these conditions that are often happening, you know, at the same time in a person or in a family or in a community.

Courtney, how would you add on to that from a clinical perspective?

And so, yeah, yeah, I agree with that completely, Stan. I mean, I think it allowed us a lot more freedom to be responsive to the community and flexibility instead of being responsive to the desires of the CDC who is funding things Cardiovascular disease funding is completely separate and distinct from their diabetes funding to support states and local governments.

If I have a chance, I just want to jump in something that Clarence mentioned a few minutes ago. You talked about a lot of conversations about dementia in the community. Something that we aren't talking about here, but it's is how what's good for your heart and what's good for your blood sugar is really good for your brain health as well.

And so communicating about how all of these conditions, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high cholesterol, impact so many parts of our bodies and our ability to live well. There's great benefit to be talking about these as a group instead of individual distinct diseases. There's a lot of benefit in coming together. It's improving everyone's health.

Well, Stan, you're right. We have a lot of data systems to sort of measure disease impact through things like number of deaths, number of hospitalizations, number of people that are meeting a vascular disease target for their blood pressure medication and their statin and so on. What we don't have a great time or great ability to measure is how people feel.

And that's another reason going up to community and having community really lead on this plan. And we don't want to be in a position as folks that have put this plan out of deciding how to measure some of these outcomes that you described a few minutes ago, we really want the community to help tell us what is the right way to measure this.

Community, tell us what is real impact for the populations that you work with or in the neighborhood where you operate. We believe this investing in partnerships outcome, which I mentioned a couple of minutes ago, is really key to developing that trust and communication so that we can together measure that impact. And the impact may just be who's engaged in the plan and what are they doing?

And we're working on those systems in order to put that together to communicate out the successes. Yeah, yeah. Courtney, what do you think?

Yeah. One thing I would add to that, Courtney, I think spoken, that's exactly how I would answer that question. You said it more eloquently. What I would add is that embedded in these 10 outcomes, we also made an effort over the last 18 months to reach out to
