Hello, everyone. Welcome to Health Chatter. Today's show is on tobacco and some tobacco research, which, you know, it's unfortunate. I'll add this quick comment. It's unfortunate that we're still dealing with tobacco as a really major health issue. But lo and behold, it's still with us. We have a great guest with us. I'll get to her in just a second.
As always, we have a great crew that makes all these shows successful and interesting. We have a research crew that includes Maddie Levine, Wolf, Aaron Collins and Deandra Howard. Our production team. Person is Matthew Campbell does all the logistics, the recording and gets the shows out to you in great form with a little bit of music to you, the listening audience.
We also have Sheridan Nygaard with us and she does some background research for us as well as some marketing. And then of course, We have Clarence Jones, who's my great co-host and partner in crime when we do these shows, and Dr. Barry Baines, who provides us with a medical perspective on all our shows. So thank you to all of you. You're second to none.
Human Partnership is our sponsoring organization. That's H-U-E-M-A-N Partnership. Great community health organization. Recommend that you check them out when you check our website out. Their website is humanpartnership.org. And ours on Health Chatter is healthchatterpodcast.com. So thank you to everybody. So Clarence, you've got a great colleague that is going to be with us on this show today.
I'll let you go ahead, introduce her.
Thank you, Stan, for passing it off to me. We have Dr. Christy Patton. She is a licensed clinical psychologist. She's a professor of psychology and director of the Behavioral Health Research Program and the Rural Health Core at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. She grew up in Minneapolis and completed her undergraduate degree in psychology at Augsburg College.
Her research team focuses on community-based participatory research to develop culturally aligned behavioral intervention for smoking cessation and other health promotion interventions among indigenous people and other communities. She is in partnership with Michelle Allen and Rachel Hardiman at the University of Minnesota.
Dr. Patton co-leads a large grant from the NIH called C to Dream Center for Chronic Disease Reduction and Equity Promotion across Minnesota. Dr. Patton also served as recent co-chair of the Health Experiences Network for the Society of Research on Nicotine and Tobacco and has held many other leadership roles nationally.
Now, I'm excited about this because I knew of Dr. Patton, but I had never had the chance to meet her until very recently. And we had a chance to sit down and just kind of talk a little bit about, you know, work and talk a little bit about community, talk a little bit about ourselves.
