On public health leadership, past, present, and future, we have an illustrious guest with us today, Jan Malcolm. I'll get into her logistics in a minute. I want to thank our crew. As I always do without them, we would not Be as successful as we have been. I believe this is our 66, 65, 66 show. So it's going going strong.

You're the best team ever. And then, of course, Clarence Jones is my great colleague in this endeavor. We've been having a lot of fun doing this. He comes with a really good breadth of background in community health, and I greatly appreciate your insights and perspectives. It's a wonderful partnership, and I really appreciate it. And then, of course, there's H-U-E-M-A-N Partnership, which is a community endeavor focusing on health-related issues for all of us, actually, and we hope that All of us can listen to their insights.
You can check out their website at humanpartnership.com.org. I always say com, don't I?
Yeah, you do. .org.
.org, okay. But they're a great, great organization, and many thanks to them. So today, everybody, Jan Malcolm. Jan and I go back a long ways. I remember, Jan, when you were at Health Partners. So that really goes back a way. But it's been a great collegial relationship these years. We've seen a lot of things come and go in public health and in medicine. Jan's had over 40 years of public service and continues to have a great positive influence. She's gonna be leading up or maybe in the midst of leading up an initiative to address the issues of health sciences at the University of Minnesota. And I think that group has got kind of a deadline of what January to get your decisions made. So Jan, Jan is leading that effort, so thank you for that.
She served under three governors in the state of Minnesota, for those of you who do not live in Minnesota, Governor Ventura, Governor Dayton, and most recently, Governor Tim Walz. And it's also interesting representing two different political parties over that course of time. Wonderful health policy expert that comes with great background, not only in the true government arena, but also she was involved with health partners here in the state of Minnesota, Alina Health. She was the CEO of the Courage Center here in the Twin City area. So, wow. Wow. Great, great career, great career. And recently retired, and I see a smile. So that's great. So Jan, thank you so much for being part of Health Chatter. And really, this is a chat. And we're going to be focusing on the concept of leadership. And it's probably easier, I'm hoping it's easier, to reflect on it than to talk about it when you're in the midst of it, okay? If you get my drift. I do. You understand. So, all right. So, let's start out this way. Health leadership overall.
So, you know, with all the different things that you've been involved with, give us your perspective on it. What, as, you know, as somebody who's led a lot of different things, but Truly, what is your perspective on leadership and health from all the different things you've been involved with?
Well, first of all, thank you for inviting me to join you and Clarence in this conversation. I think it's a critically important topic, leadership in general, but leadership in health, leadership in public health, particularly now, given what we've just been through and the time that we're in, there is so much we need to learn. from what we've just been through and figure out how to take those very hard won lessons through the COVID-19 pandemic and apply them not only to being more ready for the next health emergency, but how do we improve what we do every day to serve the people that we serve, which is everybody.
