• 02:00have planned out a a
• 02:02very nice agenda.
• 02:03But just,
• 02:05welcome to the town hall.
• 02:08The, I think this is
• 02:09gonna be a a useful
• 02:11meeting, not one that's done
• 02:12on a weekly basis by
• 02:14any means, and you'll hear
• 02:15more about that. But,
• 02:17but I think it's it's
• 02:19a a great meeting for
• 02:20people to attend.
• 02:21And I'm very sorry to
• 02:23say that the summer is
• 02:24over,
• 02:26and we're now back hard
• 02:28at work in the fall.
• 02:30But we've made a lot
• 02:31of progress, and we're gonna
• 02:32keep pushing further.
• 02:35Tracy. Oh, are Laurie next?
• 02:37Yes. Hi. Hi, everyone. Thank
• 02:39you for joining us this
• 02:41evening. We are keeping it
• 02:42short tonight,
• 02:43and most of what we'll
• 02:45focus on will be,
• 02:47results of of us the
• 02:49survey that you all were
• 02:50kind enough to, provide input
• 02:52on and, of course, some,
• 02:54new faculty and clinical staff
• 02:56updates. But before we do
• 02:57that,
• 02:58I wanted to give everyone
• 02:59an update on where we
• 03:00are with our search for
• 03:02a a vice president for
• 03:03patient services
• 03:05for Smilo system wide. As
• 03:07you may recall, Kim Slusser,
• 03:10left us not all that
• 03:11long ago,
• 03:12for a role at MD
• 03:14Anderson, and
• 03:15we conducted a, we've conducted
• 03:17a pretty comprehensive national search.
• 03:20We have a search committee,
• 03:22that has been engaged in
• 03:23screening candidates and that has
• 03:25identified
• 03:26three
• 03:27finalists for us to interview
• 03:29on-site. So we've actually started
• 03:32the on-site interviews. We've had
• 03:33one of the three candidates
• 03:35have come in so far.
• 03:36We have another
• 03:37candidate joining us in early
• 03:39October, and the third one
• 03:40is,
• 03:41currently being scheduled for, on-site
• 03:44visits. The visits are two
• 03:45days.
• 03:46They meet with a lot
• 03:47of people,
• 03:49twenty five, perhaps, across the
• 03:51system in a variety of
• 03:52different capacities, physicians,
• 03:54nursing leaders, administrative leaders, part
• 03:57other parts of the system
• 03:58in the hospital.
• 04:00We really like to make
• 04:01sure that
• 04:02we have a broad base
• 04:03of,
• 04:04folks that that this individual
• 04:06will work extensively
• 04:08with on our behalf.
• 04:10And so it does take
• 04:11a little bit of time
• 04:12to accomplish that. We also,
• 04:15built in time for them
• 04:16to see parts of not
• 04:18only the Smilow Cancer Hospital
• 04:20here in New Haven, but
• 04:21also,
• 04:23go out to one of
• 04:23our,
• 04:24cancer centers outside of
• 04:26New Haven so they can
• 04:27get a a real feel
• 04:28for,
• 04:29at least a portion of
• 04:30what, they would be responsible
• 04:32for.
• 04:33Our goal is to have
• 04:35a candidate selected
• 04:36in October. I know we're
• 04:38we're getting close to October
• 04:39now. So,
• 04:40the goal would be that
• 04:41we would have everybody come
• 04:42through for their on-site visits,
• 04:46before the end of October
• 04:48and that we would be
• 04:49in a position to make
• 04:50a decision on a finalist.
• 04:52And then, of course, the
• 04:53goal would be to see
• 04:55somebody here at the beginning
• 04:56of, the new calendar year,
• 04:59ideally in January.
• 05:01Hopefully, not any later than
• 05:02that. So
• 05:03we are,
• 05:05grateful to Tracy Carafino,
• 05:07who has,
• 05:08carried a lot on her
• 05:09shoulders,
• 05:11in her interim capacity as
• 05:12our VP for patient services.
• 05:15I'm sure she is ready
• 05:16for us to,
• 05:19name a,
• 05:20permanent,
• 05:21person here. But, she has
• 05:23done an amazing job, and
• 05:24we're really grateful that she
• 05:26has been willing
• 05:27to continue to do this
• 05:28work with us while we've
• 05:29gone through this really important,
• 05:32search effort for a new,
• 05:34patient services leader for us.
• 05:38Thank you, Tracy. Thanks, Laurie.
• 05:40Thank you
• 05:41very much.
• 05:43So we are gonna move
• 05:44into I think, there's been
• 05:45a little bit of a
• 05:46pause because of the summer
• 05:48months, but we had
• 05:50done a survey in the
• 05:51spring in relation to some,
• 05:53decrease in attendance and trying
• 05:55to really understand
• 05:58what, was working well, what
• 06:00things could be improved. And
• 06:02I think
• 06:03we were able to generate
• 06:04quite a amount of valuable
• 06:06feedback. As you can expect,
• 06:09it's mixed because
• 06:11as with anything we try
• 06:12to do in an organization
• 06:13this size and schedules, what's
• 06:15a perfect time for someone
• 06:17else isn't work. And so
• 06:19we're playing around still with
• 06:21some of the feedback, and
• 06:22and moving forward, we will
• 06:24still look
• 06:25to have people still, you
• 06:27know, give us feedback and
• 06:28thoughts and ideas as we
• 06:30move to the new platform.
• 06:31So one of the questions
• 06:33was, do you regularly attend
• 06:34the Smile Cancer Hospital, Yale
• 06:36Cancer Center town hall webinars.
• 06:40Fifty two percent of the
• 06:41respondents said yes, and fifty
• 06:43two forty eight percent said
• 06:45no, so kind of half
• 06:46and half of the respondents.
• 06:48And if not, why don't
• 06:49you join?
• 06:51The biggest area was scheduling
• 06:53conflict,
• 06:55and you'll see in the
• 06:56changes that we are trying
• 06:57to address that by offering,
• 06:59some different times.
• 07:01Other was a large amount,
• 07:03Content not applicable, not aware
• 07:05of meetings, and prefer an
• 07:07email communication
• 07:09was some of the other
• 07:10reasons listed.
• 07:13Do you find the topics
• 07:14presented at the town hall
• 07:16relevant
• 07:16and informative? And and for
• 07:18the most part, eighty percent
• 07:19was yes
• 07:21and twenty percent no. So
• 07:22I think, overall,
• 07:24that is working well.
• 07:26We do have some changes
• 07:27also to that, but really
• 07:29appreciate people's feedback. You can
• 07:30email Renee, Gaudette, myself, or
• 07:32Kevin if you have suggestions
• 07:34or thoughts on topics you
• 07:36would like, you know, brought
• 07:37forward.
• 07:41Thanks, Tracy.
• 07:42So,
• 07:43you know, as Tracy alluded
• 07:45to, the majority of respondents
• 07:47did tell us that they'd
• 07:49like town halls to be
• 07:50scheduled during the workday.
• 07:53You know, when
• 07:55as we talked about, the
• 07:57workday is a broad
• 08:01span of time. And I
• 08:02think we are all working
• 08:04hard to
• 08:05find a time that is
• 08:08encompassed within that period,
• 08:10yet is not keeping people
• 08:12at work overtime,
• 08:13nor is it disrupting the
• 08:15workflow, which is very difficult
• 08:17to get away from, particularly
• 08:19for our members of the
• 08:20nursing staff
• 08:21who were often go go
• 08:23go their entire shift.
• 08:25But we did we do
• 08:27hear that loud and clear,
• 08:28and we are working on
• 08:29it.
• 08:30One of the things that
• 08:31we also heard is that
• 08:33it would be nice to
• 08:34do at least quarterly hybrid
• 08:36town halls at noon,
• 08:39and that will give us
• 08:40an opportunity for in person
• 08:42gathering.
• 08:43You know, I think we
• 08:45all feel that, we have
• 08:46moved into this world of
• 08:48hybrid meetings.
• 08:49There are certainly clear advantages
• 08:51to that, but there is
• 08:53also,
• 08:55I, you know, I think
• 08:55great
• 08:57value for all of us
• 08:58who care for cancer patients
• 09:00together,
• 09:01to to be together in
• 09:03person on occasions.
• 09:05So these quarterly town halls
• 09:07will be generally concise
• 09:09and short and,
• 09:12kind of rapid fire presentations.
• 09:15We will be distributing,
• 09:18emails and other
• 09:20informationals
• 09:21to all Smilos staff,
• 09:23and we'll be asking our
• 09:24managers to assist with that,
• 09:26and helping us understand what
• 09:28are the high priority,
• 09:30high value topics that,
• 09:33our teams need to be
• 09:34kept,
• 09:35aware of.
• 09:37I think, you know, to
• 09:38Kevin, just to jump in
• 09:39here, there there is an
• 09:40ask, like, for it to
• 09:41show up on people's calendars
• 09:42as an appointment, which is
• 09:44challenging from a scheduling perspective
• 09:46because
• 09:46it can only be sent
• 09:47to a certain number. So
• 09:49we're really asking for you
• 09:50to assist in sort of
• 09:51spreading that and forwarding that
• 09:53appointment to all of your
• 09:54team members,
• 09:56to try and really help
• 09:57with people understanding
• 09:59when and and and what
• 10:00time and where they are.
• 10:04So, you know, I think
• 10:05in in summary,
• 10:07what
• 10:09we are really hoping for
• 10:10is to use this forum
• 10:12as an opportunity
• 10:13for engagement.
• 10:16You know, it's a large
• 10:17organization as Tracy alluded to
• 10:20a lot of things going
• 10:20on a lot of developments
• 10:23and we would like the
• 10:25town hall forum
• 10:26to really serve the needs
• 10:28of our community.
• 10:30So we are here to
• 10:31listen,
• 10:32and we'd love to we'd
• 10:33love to hear from you.
• 10:34What do you wanna hear
• 10:35about? What do you wanna
• 10:36discuss? Tell us in real
• 10:37time. Give us topics and
• 10:39suggestions.
• 10:41This is what Tracy and
• 10:43myself
• 10:44are here for. Renee is
• 10:45here to help us.
• 10:47So,
• 10:48please, we look forward to
• 10:49hearing from you. Thank you.
• 10:52Kevin, can I can I
• 10:53just add one thing?
• 10:56Oh, you're gonna do the
• 10:57schedule. I'm sorry. I'll do
• 10:58it after. Tracy or Kevin,
• 11:00go ahead and run through
• 11:01the schedule, and I'll make
• 11:02one more point. Okay. Thanks,
• 11:04Laurie. Well, you know, you
• 11:05can see the schedule. We're
• 11:07planning for these.
• 11:08November will be a virtual
• 11:10only in,
• 11:11early morning.
• 11:14Late January at noon will
• 11:15be hybrid.
• 11:17As we get to the
• 11:18spring, another virtual meeting, and,
• 11:21late spring will be at
• 11:23noon hybrid in the Smile
• 11:25Auditorium.
• 11:27So, Laurie, go ahead, please.
• 11:29Yeah. I just wanted to
• 11:30add a lot of some
• 11:31of the other feedback we
• 11:32received from all of you
• 11:34in the survey,
• 11:36was that there was an
• 11:37interest to maybe receive some
• 11:39of this information,
• 11:41electronically
• 11:42to fill in the gaps
• 11:43because we were doing town
• 11:45halls every month.
• 11:47So
• 11:48we're really trying to also
• 11:49create a a a menu,
• 11:50if you will,
• 11:52of,
• 11:53opportunities for engagement
• 11:55and for
• 11:56information sharing in particular
• 11:58in the written form,
• 12:00by getting some further information
• 12:02out to everyone. And you
• 12:03you may recall during COVID,
• 12:05we did the weekly,
• 12:07smile updates.
• 12:10And we talked about revisiting
• 12:11that. Of course, that was,
• 12:13that was largely focused on
• 12:14the plethora of information
• 12:17that needed to get out
• 12:17to everyone around the constant
• 12:19changes that were occurring during
• 12:21COVID. But then we transitioned
• 12:23to to trying to
• 12:25inform everybody of various policies
• 12:27and various
• 12:28activities that were going on
• 12:29that was, you know, particularly
• 12:31relevant to our our smile
• 12:33and our our cancer colleagues.
• 12:35We're gonna look at,
• 12:38revisiting that as well
• 12:40and, more
• 12:42come on that, but that
• 12:42would be another mechanism for
• 12:44us to fill in some
• 12:45of the gaps of the
• 12:46monthly town halls. And then
• 12:48finally, hopefully,
• 12:50most of you, if not
• 12:50all of you know that,
• 12:51you know, for the last
• 12:52two years,
• 12:54we've been very vigilant about
• 12:56a particular
• 12:57schedule for, for our leadership
• 12:59team to round. We've always
• 13:00rounded. For years, we've rounded,
• 13:02but we've created a very
• 13:04structured,
• 13:06meaningful and intentional approach to
• 13:09leadership rounding,
• 13:10which I think we,
• 13:12worked to improve upon this
• 13:14past year, and we'll continue
• 13:15to seek your feedback,
• 13:17through a variety of mechanisms
• 13:19on how we can,
• 13:21round more effectively
• 13:22across all of our sites.
• 13:24And,
• 13:26and and that's an opportunity
• 13:27for you to to engage
• 13:29and share your thoughts with
• 13:31with us outside of, town
• 13:33hall as well. And we
• 13:35realized that, you know, when
• 13:36we're talking about inpatient, we've
• 13:37got, you know, twenty four
• 13:39seven.
• 13:40And often our rounding is
• 13:43during the,
• 13:44you know, the the work
• 13:46hours that are not the
• 13:47overnight. So,
• 13:49we are going to do
• 13:50our inpatient rounding at seven
• 13:51in the morning. I know
• 13:52there's no perfect time
• 13:54for the teams to,
• 13:56to engage when you're busy
• 13:58trying to change shifts and,
• 14:00you know, make sure that
• 14:01everybody's ready to take over
• 14:03for for the earlier team.
• 14:05But we will be coming
• 14:06through the inpatient units at
• 14:08seven o'clock in the morning
• 14:10when we round so that
• 14:11we have a chance to,
• 14:13see both the, day shift
• 14:15and the night shift. So
• 14:16we will look for feedback
• 14:18on that as well. We
• 14:19wanna know how we can
• 14:20do the best,
• 14:21job possible to make sure
• 14:23we can connect with with
• 14:25everybody. So just wanted to
• 14:27throw that in. I know
• 14:27that wasn't a town hall
• 14:29update, but
• 14:31it was part of the
• 14:32solution that we identified
• 14:34for for, further engagement with
• 14:36everybody. So thank you. Sorry,
• 14:38Kevin.
• 14:39All you have. Laurie.
• 14:41Yeah, just
• 14:42to
• 14:44kind of reiterate,
• 14:45we
• 14:47we want your engagement. We
• 14:48wanna hear from you.
• 14:50You know,
• 14:51and,
• 14:53we love the rounding, and
• 14:56Laurie has us on a
• 14:57tight schedule with Don. So
• 14:59we look forward to seeing
• 15:00you in person.
• 15:01So one of the things
• 15:02that I enjoy most, particularly
• 15:03about this time of year,
• 15:05is,
• 15:06kind of welcoming and acknowledging
• 15:09the many new faculty that

• 17:19oncology fellowship, doctor Rob Matera,
• 17:21is staying here with us.
• 17:23Many of you know Rob.
• 17:25He's been an
• 17:27all star as a fellow,
• 17:29extremely well liked, and Rob
• 17:31will be, joining the,
• 17:34clinical team in Waterbury.
• 17:36Rob will be focusing the
• 17:38majority of his clinical efforts
• 17:40in the GU space, but
• 17:41we'll also be seeing some
• 17:42hematology
• 17:43patients.
• 17:45Another great,
• 17:46plastic surgery recruit, doctor Lucy
• 17:48Wu.
• 17:50I'm not sure if doctor
• 17:51Wu is on campus yet,
• 17:53but she will be shortly.
• 17:57Very exciting for me to,
• 17:59welcome doctor Ben Rescio
• 18:02back to Yale.
• 18:04I, had the pleasure of
• 18:06participating in Ben's training
• 18:08just a couple of brief
• 18:08years ago as a general
• 18:10surgery chief resident.
• 18:12Ben went off to do,
• 18:14thoracic surgery fellowship and thoracic
• 18:17oncology,
• 18:18Memorial Sloan Kettering. And we're
• 18:20very fortunate to recruit him
• 18:22back to join doctor Boffa
• 18:24and team.
• 18:27Next.
• 18:33An additional,
• 18:34recruit in medical oncology, also
• 18:37one of our fellows.
• 18:39As a matter of fact,
• 18:40I'll say we've done pretty
• 18:41well in retaining fellows in
• 18:42medical oncology.
• 18:44Doctor Jing Du is joining
• 18:45us.
• 18:46Doctor Du will be an
• 18:48instructor of medicine,
• 18:50practicing primarily here in New
• 18:52Haven,
• 18:53with a focus on breast
• 18:54medical oncology.
• 18:57Really delighted,
• 18:59to
• 19:01welcome doctor Thejal Sreekumar,
• 19:05another graduate of our program.
• 19:07Thejal, doctor Sreekumar
• 19:09will be focusing on GI
• 19:11medical oncology, and we'll also
• 19:13be seeing patients,
• 19:15with Doctor. Geary and the
• 19:17genetics and high risk program.
• 19:20Doctor. Jan Buehler's Dorf,
• 19:24another memorial Sloan Kettering graduate
• 19:27will be,
• 19:28coming to the he malignancies
• 19:30faculty,
• 19:31and we'll be spending a
• 19:33considerable portion of his time
• 19:34here in New Haven.
• 19:37I think that might be
• 19:39it.
• 19:40Oh, I would be remiss
• 19:43if I did not,
• 19:44mention
• 19:46a fabulous upcoming event.
• 19:49The Yale advancements in oncology
• 19:51will be,
• 19:53going on this Friday,
• 19:55at Anthony's Ocean View.
• 19:57Doctor Herbst has, brought together
• 19:59an all star cast of
• 20:01characters,
• 20:02that will be sharing highlights
• 20:04from ASCO as well as,
• 20:06clinical updates and research,
• 20:09findings,
• 20:10from our own faculty.
• 20:12And that will be eight
• 20:13to four on Friday.
• 20:19Another event going on,
• 20:21that I think deserves considerable
• 20:23attention.
• 20:25Very important for patients, the
• 20:27preserving hope seminar
• 20:29fertility care for patients with
• 20:30cancer and hematologic disorders,
• 20:33will be Friday, October eleventh
• 20:36here on the campus at
• 20:37the Cohen auditorium.
• 20:43One of the things that
• 20:45I think we have made
• 20:47substantial
• 20:47progress and is a real
• 20:49pillar for us in our
• 20:50clinical program
• 20:51is growth in our care
• 20:53signature pathways.
• 20:55I did wanna take a
• 20:57minute in this town hall
• 20:58to highlight the great work,
• 21:01that has been done by
• 21:03Dan Heacock,
• 21:05Kate Mason, and Mary Ann
• 21:06Davies,
• 21:08as well as a host
• 21:09of our faculty who,
• 21:11work to support them in
• 21:14clinical consensus building,
• 21:16groups.
• 21:17Our SmiloCare Signature pathways
• 21:19integrate with larger work done
• 21:21throughout the health system.
• 21:23This is an effort to
• 21:25drive
• 21:26consistency
• 21:27and quality
• 21:28across
• 21:29our entire
• 21:30clinical care enterprise.
• 21:32You can see on the
• 21:33slide, there have been,
• 21:35over the past eight to
• 21:36twelve months, substantial progress with
• 21:39a
• 21:40a whole range of Smilo
• 21:41specific pathways
• 21:43that have been created and
• 21:45have been launched. There's a
• 21:46a variety of ambulatory and
• 21:48inpatient
• 21:49pathways.
• 21:50And we have,
• 21:51a number of kind of
• 21:53important
• 21:54cross cutting,
• 21:55clinical pathways
• 21:57that are underway and will
• 21:59be active soon. And these
• 22:01are things that
• 22:02are of broad clinical applicability,
• 22:05regardless of the specific nature
• 22:07of the malignancy,
• 22:08including management of oncologic
• 22:11emergencies, neutropenic fever,
• 22:14pathway for our patients
• 22:16to leverage any of our
• 22:18clinical site for infusions,
• 22:20that we call infusion everywhere.
• 22:22And,
• 22:23another
• 22:25quickly expanding set of challenges
• 22:27with IO toxicities, and this
• 22:29is immuno oncology.
• 22:31So great work, Kate, Mary
• 22:34Anne, Dan, and all of
• 22:35our clinicians who've participated.
• 22:38This is really,
• 22:41something we all should be
• 22:42proud of.
• 22:43And and I do think
• 22:44that, you know, we're really
• 22:45trying to get the word
• 22:47out there about what pathways
• 22:48are available. You know, the
• 22:50utilization
• 22:51is picking up, but
• 22:53Mary Anne or Kate would
• 22:54be happy
• 22:55to come to a team
• 22:56or session or any sort
• 22:59of form you have and
• 23:00sort of walk people through
• 23:01how to find them, how
• 23:02to use them.
• 23:03And there is, an oncology
• 23:06council that if if there's
• 23:08pathways that you think should
• 23:09be developed, you can bring
• 23:10that. There's a form, and
• 23:12and that's reviewed by a
• 23:13group to prioritize which ones
• 23:15would be work worked on.
• 23:18And so, please, you know,
• 23:19again, if there's if you
• 23:20have ideas of pathways you
• 23:22think should be developed, you
• 23:24know, reach out to Mary
• 23:25Anne or Kate.
• 23:29I I don't see any,
• 23:32questions or comments in the
• 23:33chat. There's one chat. Ali
• 23:36put in the chat that
• 23:37doctor Lucy Woe is here
• 23:38seeing patients, and she is
• 23:40already operating.
• 23:42Alright. Thank you, Ali.
• 23:48That's super.
• 23:51Does anybody have any questions
• 23:52or comments or anything they
• 23:53wanna share in the few
• 23:55minutes that we,
• 23:58still have here?
• 23:59Happy to take questions.
• 24:05Laurie, would it be helpful
• 24:06to remind our teams about
• 24:08any of the surveys
• 24:10that are will that are
• 24:12active or will be going
• 24:13out?
• 24:18Well, the I think people
• 24:19have had
• 24:21go ahead. No. I was
• 24:22gonna say the engagement the
• 24:23the Yellowhaven Health System engagement
• 24:26survey,
• 24:27just finished on,
• 24:29Sunday.
• 24:30And,
• 24:31it's too soon to
• 24:33to share the,
• 24:35participation rate at this point
• 24:37other than that it was
• 24:40outstanding.
• 24:41I'll just say we there's
• 24:43still a lot of, data
• 24:45analysis and work that's being
• 24:46sorted through to,
• 24:48before there's any kind of,
• 24:50unofficial announcement on what that
• 24:53participation rate was. But everyone
• 24:55who completed the survey,
• 24:57we thank you,
• 24:59deeply.
• 25:00It is so important that
• 25:02we
• 25:03get to hear,
• 25:04your thoughts and and your
• 25:05voices. And last year, we
• 25:07spent a lot of time
• 25:08working with teams and the
• 25:10directors and others on,
• 25:13really tracking and and working
• 25:14through the action plans that
• 25:16everybody developed. We'll do the
• 25:17same again. We wanna keep
• 25:19elevating
• 25:20the work around engagement. So
• 25:22thank you for that.
• 25:24And I think the only
• 25:26other survey, Eric, is the
• 25:28there was the survey that
• 25:29Faye Rogers,
• 25:32sent out that was specific
• 25:33to the ill cancer center,
• 25:35faculty and staff.
• 25:37And I I think we've
• 25:38sent out a
• 25:39a few reminders about it,
• 25:41so I think we're good.
• 25:43And we did have a
• 25:44very brief survey that,
• 25:46that actually Kevin and Tracy
• 25:48spearheaded,
• 25:49that went across all of
• 25:50Smile and all of the
• 25:51Yale Cancer Center
• 25:53that was also a climate
• 25:54survey. It was just two,
• 25:55I think, two brief questions
• 25:57that were asked, and all
• 25:59of that work is being
• 26:00coalesced and reviewed,
• 26:02as we speak. So, again,
• 26:04I I believe that there
• 26:05was some really, really, really
• 26:07rich
• 26:08and important input that you
• 26:10all provided, through that survey
• 26:12as well. So more to
• 26:13come
• 26:14on all of on all
• 26:15of this, but we do
• 26:17appreciate being able to hear
• 26:19from everybody when,
• 26:21when we do put these
• 26:22surveys out,
• 26:24for input from everybody. So
• 26:28those are the surveys that
• 26:29are that are, I think,
• 26:30in play
• 26:33or were in play. Superb.
• 26:41Quiet group time.
• 26:43But it is five thirty.
• 26:45Yes. And, our promise was
• 26:47that we would make things
• 26:48short,
• 26:49at least the virtual ones.
• 26:51We will make them longer
• 26:52when we are in a
• 26:54hybrid,
• 26:55setting. But
• 26:57thank you, Kevin and Tracy,
• 26:59for hosting this again, and
• 27:01thank you everybody for being
• 27:02here.
• 27:04Have a great evening, everyone.
• 27:05Everyone. Have a good evening.
• 27:07You're welcome. Thank you.
