Welcome to health care on air presented by Verizon. Whether you live in a big city or on a big farm or somewhere in between, we should all have equal access to health care. A cookie cutter solution doesn't work for everybody. So similar to what Erica sharing, providing everybody with similar or the same resources may not be, applicable given their situations, their circumstances, their environments, But in our expensive country, that is not always the case. I just think it's really important that we provide patients with the tools and access to really own their health care for themselves. Verizon has always been committed to connecting the nation. As we say, connecting people to people, people to things, and things to things. And our recent investment in the five g spectrum intentionally bring faster speeds to rural areas, which means more health care options for residents in those areas. In the home setting, so patients that were difficult to reach, patients that didn't have telephone or access. We had to just sort of show up on, doorsteps and knock. And so when gave them the technology to see us. They were incredibly engaged with their care. Still are. It blows me away some days. Our dedicated healthcare team is working with hospital systems, retail health care, payers, innovators, and the entire healthcare ecosystem To help pair the right connectivity with the right solutions, in order to close health equity gaps and bring healthcare to where it's needed to the patient. And I think we have responsibilities in technology to make sure that we're help advocating to, you know, make the right changes and empower clinicians to give the best care dog and empower our rural communities or underserved communities to get equitable care that's no matter who you are, where you what area, you get the same experience. Happy rule health day. There's a lot of work to be done. Let's keep innovating.
