Great info from reliable people

Hearing poised professionals on an important topic is very much needed these days. Thank you, Cynthia. In an era in which expertise is as rare as civility, this is an essential listen.

Excellent and very relevant dialogue!

Of all the conversations out there regarding the current pandemic (and health care practices in general), I strongly believe we need to be hearing more from providers, especially on the frontlines, and especially from the under res presented minorities. THANK YOU!
