00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,639
This is Laura Dirda with the Becker's Healthcare

2
00:00:02,639 --> 00:00:04,559
Podcast. I'm thrilled today to be joined by

3
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,759
Catherine Barresi, chief health services officer at Partnership

4
00:00:07,759 --> 00:00:08,820
Health Plan of California.

5
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:10,400
Catherine, it's a pleasure to have you on

6
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:11,460
the podcast today.

7
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,179
Likewise. Thanks for having me.

8
00:00:15,365 --> 00:00:17,605
Absolutely. Now I am looking forward to digging

9
00:00:17,605 --> 00:00:18,885
into some of the cool things that you're

10
00:00:18,885 --> 00:00:20,964
doing out there in California, as well as

11
00:00:20,964 --> 00:00:22,964
what you're planning for the future. But before

12
00:00:22,964 --> 00:00:25,125
we dive in, could you please introduce yourself

13
00:00:25,125 --> 00:00:26,484
and tell us a little bit about your

14
00:00:26,484 --> 00:00:26,984
background?

15
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,399
Great. Thanks, Laura, and thanks again for having

16
00:00:29,399 --> 00:00:29,800
me.

17
00:00:30,279 --> 00:00:32,200
So, again, I'm Catherine Brassy. I'm a nurse

18
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:32,700
executive,

19
00:00:33,079 --> 00:00:35,640
at Partnership Health Plan of California. And in

20
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,820
my current role, I'm the chief health services

21
00:00:37,879 --> 00:00:38,379
officer.

22
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,939
And what that means is that I oversee

23
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:41,659
a huge,

24
00:00:42,039 --> 00:00:45,575
piece of clinical operations and and strategic initiatives,

25
00:00:46,195 --> 00:00:48,195
for the health plan, really with the focus

26
00:00:48,195 --> 00:00:51,155
of including the out, and improving outcomes of

27
00:00:51,155 --> 00:00:51,814
our members.

28
00:00:52,835 --> 00:00:54,515
I be began my career as a nurse,

29
00:00:54,754 --> 00:00:56,994
and worked specifically in case management and public

30
00:00:56,994 --> 00:00:59,039
health. And this gave me a really strong

31
00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:00,020
clinical foundation,

32
00:01:01,119 --> 00:01:02,340
and and structure,

33
00:01:02,799 --> 00:01:04,180
for what members experience,

34
00:01:04,719 --> 00:01:07,299
in the outpatient world, in health care.

35
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,159
Well, that's great to hear. And, you know,

36
00:01:10,159 --> 00:01:11,760
really cool that you've got this,

37
00:01:12,079 --> 00:01:14,954
role now at Partnership Health Plan of California.

38
00:01:15,734 --> 00:01:17,415
Could you tell us a little bit about,

39
00:01:17,575 --> 00:01:19,734
some of the biggest issues that you're following

40
00:01:19,734 --> 00:01:21,415
in health care and where it's headed in

41
00:01:21,415 --> 00:01:22,234
the new year?

42
00:01:23,015 --> 00:01:23,814
Yeah. There's,

43
00:01:24,534 --> 00:01:26,560
as you know, health care really is top

44
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,439
of mind for everybody, especially after, the latest

45
00:01:29,439 --> 00:01:32,079
election cycle. And really, the top five things

46
00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:34,000
that I'm following and my teams are following

47
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,079
both at Partnership and in our work are,

48
00:01:36,079 --> 00:01:38,159
of course, first and foremost, the big changes

49
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:39,380
or impacts to Medicaid,

50
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:40,740
with the new administration.

51
00:01:41,704 --> 00:01:43,944
While we hear rumors, at this point, we

52
00:01:43,944 --> 00:01:45,564
don't have any specific

53
00:01:46,105 --> 00:01:48,584
policies or guidance. We know that the budget

54
00:01:48,584 --> 00:01:51,165
reconciliation process is is upon us,

55
00:01:51,545 --> 00:01:53,865
and there's discussions going on at a federal

56
00:01:53,865 --> 00:01:54,329
level.

57
00:01:54,730 --> 00:01:58,810
California has a lot of individuals on Medicaid

58
00:01:58,810 --> 00:02:00,409
or Medi Cal as it's known in our

59
00:02:00,409 --> 00:02:00,909
state.

60
00:02:01,450 --> 00:02:03,209
In fact, I think the latest poll shifts

61
00:02:03,209 --> 00:02:05,310
something around the order of about 14,000,000,

62
00:02:06,090 --> 00:02:07,630
Californians are on Medicaid.

63
00:02:08,325 --> 00:02:11,944
Partnership, we cover 24 counties in Northern California

64
00:02:12,405 --> 00:02:13,925
with about 900,000

65
00:02:13,925 --> 00:02:14,405
lives,

66
00:02:14,724 --> 00:02:16,425
providing services and benefits,

67
00:02:16,885 --> 00:02:18,724
and high quality health care. So this is

68
00:02:18,724 --> 00:02:19,224
something

69
00:02:19,525 --> 00:02:22,165
that we are are watching and tracking very,

70
00:02:22,165 --> 00:02:22,905
very closely.

71
00:02:24,020 --> 00:02:25,800
The other big focus for partnership,

72
00:02:26,260 --> 00:02:28,659
as I just described, we are in Northern

73
00:02:28,659 --> 00:02:31,780
California, and we have very large communities that

74
00:02:31,780 --> 00:02:32,920
are rural communities,

75
00:02:33,780 --> 00:02:34,520
that often

76
00:02:34,819 --> 00:02:36,040
experience health disparities,

77
00:02:37,004 --> 00:02:37,824
just due

78
00:02:38,284 --> 00:02:39,504
to scale of cost,

79
00:02:39,884 --> 00:02:40,384
economy.

80
00:02:41,564 --> 00:02:44,305
And so for us, this is even more

81
00:02:44,364 --> 00:02:45,745
important to make sure

82
00:02:46,044 --> 00:02:46,544
that

83
00:02:47,084 --> 00:02:49,485
infrastructure and healthcare delivery such as our rural

84
00:02:49,485 --> 00:02:51,905
hospitals and our public hospitals in those communities

85
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,759
are are not disproportionately affected by some of

86
00:02:54,759 --> 00:02:56,620
these policy and access changes.

87
00:02:57,479 --> 00:02:59,319
And then the two and three other areas

88
00:02:59,319 --> 00:03:02,280
that we're focusing on, obviously, improving access to

89
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,159
health care in general across our 24 county

90
00:03:05,159 --> 00:03:08,115
network with things and innovations using technology like

91
00:03:08,194 --> 00:03:08,694
telehealth,

92
00:03:09,314 --> 00:03:12,194
with creative solutioning with our specialty network and

93
00:03:12,194 --> 00:03:13,495
our primary care providers,

94
00:03:14,514 --> 00:03:15,254
but also,

95
00:03:15,635 --> 00:03:18,675
with strong emphasis on member engagement and member

96
00:03:18,675 --> 00:03:19,175
experience,

97
00:03:19,635 --> 00:03:21,495
and use of those those new technologies.

98
00:03:22,670 --> 00:03:24,110
And then the two or three other areas

99
00:03:24,110 --> 00:03:25,969
that we're looking at, as I just described,

100
00:03:27,150 --> 00:03:29,490
AI. We've got an AI committee at partnership,

101
00:03:30,030 --> 00:03:33,230
and looking about, how that technology can improve,

102
00:03:33,469 --> 00:03:35,710
the operations within the health plan and the

103
00:03:35,710 --> 00:03:37,550
service and experience and quality of care that

104
00:03:37,550 --> 00:03:38,715
our members experience,

105
00:03:39,574 --> 00:03:42,155
and then member choice and member voice

106
00:03:42,534 --> 00:03:44,155
as they experience health care.

107
00:03:44,534 --> 00:03:46,715
Because, again, I think that ultimately,

108
00:03:47,174 --> 00:03:49,094
everybody in the health care space knows the

109
00:03:49,094 --> 00:03:51,810
system only works when the system works for

110
00:03:51,810 --> 00:03:53,730
for the people it serves. And so how

111
00:03:53,730 --> 00:03:56,849
we engage and elevate them in in every

112
00:03:56,849 --> 00:03:58,450
aspect of the work we do is is

113
00:03:58,450 --> 00:03:59,750
a high focus for us.

114
00:04:00,770 --> 00:04:02,689
That's great to hear. And, you know, really

115
00:04:02,689 --> 00:04:05,409
helpful to understand some of the challenges that

116
00:04:05,409 --> 00:04:07,864
are ahead. I know as you mentioned, it's

117
00:04:07,925 --> 00:04:08,824
a lot of uncertainties

118
00:04:09,125 --> 00:04:10,884
right now with how things will proceed in

119
00:04:10,884 --> 00:04:11,944
the health care space.

120
00:04:12,324 --> 00:04:14,405
And and how do you look ahead, at

121
00:04:14,405 --> 00:04:16,165
some of these initiatives that you're talking about,

122
00:04:16,165 --> 00:04:18,660
expanding access to care and planning for the

123
00:04:18,660 --> 00:04:19,160
future,

124
00:04:19,540 --> 00:04:21,460
while knowing, you know, that things could change

125
00:04:21,460 --> 00:04:22,360
at any moment?

126
00:04:23,300 --> 00:04:25,779
I think we we we stay true to

127
00:04:25,779 --> 00:04:28,040
the partnerships that we've built and the communities

128
00:04:28,100 --> 00:04:29,879
that we partner with to do that,

129
00:04:30,574 --> 00:04:32,915
and we look towards the opportunities.

130
00:04:33,775 --> 00:04:35,855
Granted, yes, it's it's a lot of change

131
00:04:35,855 --> 00:04:37,555
management and it's a lot of uncertainty.

132
00:04:38,495 --> 00:04:40,835
But the goals and values are the same

133
00:04:40,895 --> 00:04:43,694
no matter which community you look at, when

134
00:04:43,694 --> 00:04:45,795
it comes to health care. People want

135
00:04:46,470 --> 00:04:49,189
doctors and specialists and providers and hospitals that

136
00:04:49,189 --> 00:04:51,689
they can access easily when they need to.

137
00:04:52,149 --> 00:04:54,229
People want low cost health care.

138
00:04:54,629 --> 00:04:57,189
That doesn't mean lesser quality. It just means

139
00:04:57,189 --> 00:04:59,689
lower cost, whether it be for prescriptions

140
00:05:00,069 --> 00:05:01,129
or for,

141
00:05:02,045 --> 00:05:03,024
specialist visits.

142
00:05:03,324 --> 00:05:05,725
Our members on Medicaid, Medi Cal, many do

143
00:05:05,725 --> 00:05:07,485
not have a a share of cost because

144
00:05:07,485 --> 00:05:09,425
they qualify for income or disability.

145
00:05:10,524 --> 00:05:11,345
And so

146
00:05:11,964 --> 00:05:12,705
that is,

147
00:05:13,485 --> 00:05:15,485
a common thread. And I think as long

148
00:05:15,485 --> 00:05:17,345
as we remain focused on that work,

149
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,919
where the policy lies in that, as long

150
00:05:19,919 --> 00:05:21,599
as our principles are the same, we'll get

151
00:05:21,599 --> 00:05:22,899
to that end goal together.

152
00:05:24,479 --> 00:05:26,479
That is a really great perspective, and I

153
00:05:26,479 --> 00:05:28,479
I think a strong way to approach times

154
00:05:28,479 --> 00:05:31,120
like these. Now looking ahead, what are you

155
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,220
most excited about, or what makes you nervous?

156
00:05:34,605 --> 00:05:35,745
I'm most excited,

157
00:05:36,285 --> 00:05:38,204
in three areas. I think first would be

158
00:05:38,204 --> 00:05:38,944
the technology.

159
00:05:39,964 --> 00:05:42,064
We've seen some rapid gains,

160
00:05:42,444 --> 00:05:44,764
as I mentioned earlier with AI, but also

161
00:05:44,764 --> 00:05:47,569
other technologies and technology partners in this space

162
00:05:47,569 --> 00:05:49,670
bringing new solutions into health care.

163
00:05:50,529 --> 00:05:52,930
Health care is, by far and wide, no

164
00:05:52,930 --> 00:05:55,089
matter where you're at within the delivery system,

165
00:05:55,089 --> 00:05:57,329
whether you're in an outpatient setting, a hospital

166
00:05:57,329 --> 00:05:58,790
setting, on the payer side,

167
00:06:00,074 --> 00:06:02,794
The data and the exchange of information is

168
00:06:02,794 --> 00:06:05,375
becoming more and more relevant and key to

169
00:06:05,435 --> 00:06:08,095
optimizing clinical decision making outcomes,

170
00:06:08,954 --> 00:06:11,914
risk adjustments, payments, better use of resources. And

171
00:06:11,914 --> 00:06:14,460
so it's great to see technology partners in

172
00:06:14,460 --> 00:06:16,620
that space to enhance the work that we

173
00:06:16,620 --> 00:06:20,160
do and not hamper clinicians or or operations.

174
00:06:21,259 --> 00:06:24,220
I'm also really excited about rural health support.

175
00:06:24,220 --> 00:06:25,439
I I think when,

176
00:06:27,045 --> 00:06:29,764
groups or coalitions use words and terms like,

177
00:06:30,324 --> 00:06:31,464
equity or disparity,

178
00:06:31,764 --> 00:06:33,705
we often use that in connotation

179
00:06:34,084 --> 00:06:35,464
of, you know, somebody's

180
00:06:35,925 --> 00:06:36,904
race or ethnicity.

181
00:06:37,845 --> 00:06:40,485
I think of rural health disparities. I think

182
00:06:40,485 --> 00:06:41,625
of community disparities,

183
00:06:42,470 --> 00:06:44,490
areas where there has been lack of infrastructure

184
00:06:44,629 --> 00:06:45,129
investment,

185
00:06:45,590 --> 00:06:47,129
business opportunity growth,

186
00:06:47,430 --> 00:06:48,090
for example.

187
00:06:48,550 --> 00:06:51,530
And how they experience and use,

188
00:06:52,069 --> 00:06:54,790
and navigate health care is very different than

189
00:06:54,790 --> 00:06:56,250
suburban or urban settings.

190
00:06:56,555 --> 00:06:59,134
And so there's some really great best practices

191
00:06:59,355 --> 00:07:02,095
coming out of there that I'm excited about

192
00:07:02,235 --> 00:07:05,274
working and potentially scaling those, not just across

193
00:07:05,274 --> 00:07:05,774
partnerships,

194
00:07:06,235 --> 00:07:08,235
network, but really elevating those as a best

195
00:07:08,235 --> 00:07:09,855
practice within Medicaid.

196
00:07:10,795 --> 00:07:11,694
And then lastly,

197
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,300
our member engagement.

198
00:07:14,319 --> 00:07:17,839
Again, member voice is incredibly important, and I

199
00:07:17,839 --> 00:07:21,120
think there is a disconnect between what people

200
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,060
understand health care to be,

201
00:07:23,759 --> 00:07:26,154
and how it is currently working for them

202
00:07:26,294 --> 00:07:29,175
and and that translation and bringing them to

203
00:07:29,175 --> 00:07:30,454
make sure that they have a seat at

204
00:07:30,454 --> 00:07:32,634
the table and that they understand things

205
00:07:32,935 --> 00:07:36,314
about how how benefits get decided, how,

206
00:07:37,175 --> 00:07:40,410
how prior authorization works, what, you know, who

207
00:07:40,410 --> 00:07:41,629
qualifies for what.

208
00:07:42,009 --> 00:07:44,569
The system is set up ideally to be

209
00:07:44,569 --> 00:07:46,490
working for them, and right now, it's not.

210
00:07:46,490 --> 00:07:49,470
And so having those voices at the table

211
00:07:49,529 --> 00:07:52,490
as as key partners is is actually really,

212
00:07:52,490 --> 00:07:55,069
really exciting because the insights they lend

213
00:07:55,664 --> 00:07:58,084
only improve the the quality of the output.

214
00:07:59,745 --> 00:08:01,425
And then it's really great to hear. I'm

215
00:08:01,425 --> 00:08:01,925
curious.

216
00:08:02,544 --> 00:08:04,704
You know, in talking about the ability to

217
00:08:04,704 --> 00:08:07,664
connect with, the broader community and engage with

218
00:08:07,664 --> 00:08:08,964
them and and and,

219
00:08:09,399 --> 00:08:11,079
figure out, you know, how you can improve

220
00:08:11,079 --> 00:08:13,639
and have additional engagement. Is there anything you

221
00:08:13,639 --> 00:08:15,319
learned from some of those efforts? Or how

222
00:08:15,319 --> 00:08:16,199
did you go about,

223
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,079
making those connections, in a way that yielded

224
00:08:19,079 --> 00:08:19,579
results?

225
00:08:21,175 --> 00:08:22,935
Well, in terms of the, you know, the

226
00:08:22,935 --> 00:08:26,134
member engagement piece, partnership has a multitude of

227
00:08:26,134 --> 00:08:27,995
existing committees and coalitions

228
00:08:28,775 --> 00:08:29,915
made up of,

229
00:08:30,694 --> 00:08:33,014
stakeholders for the the folks that we serve.

230
00:08:33,014 --> 00:08:34,695
So, in fact, even our our board of

231
00:08:34,695 --> 00:08:38,250
commissioners is comprised of county behavioral health directors,

232
00:08:38,549 --> 00:08:40,809
hospital CEOs, clinic CMOs,

233
00:08:41,590 --> 00:08:44,309
community based organization partners and leaders. And so

234
00:08:44,309 --> 00:08:45,929
it really is a tapestry

235
00:08:46,549 --> 00:08:47,289
of everybody

236
00:08:47,830 --> 00:08:50,309
within the community and and health care delivery

237
00:08:50,309 --> 00:08:51,975
network that is meeting,

238
00:08:52,514 --> 00:08:53,014
deciding,

239
00:08:53,715 --> 00:08:56,675
leading efforts to improve care. And in terms

240
00:08:56,675 --> 00:08:58,855
of our members, we have a community,

241
00:08:59,475 --> 00:09:02,774
advisory group where we've got our actual members

242
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,559
who sit in and provide feedback directly to

243
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,320
the health plan on what we are doing,

244
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,980
whether it be policies or benefits or experience.

245
00:09:10,519 --> 00:09:12,679
We have three of our members on our

246
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:13,740
board as well,

247
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,600
who who sit and power share along with

248
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,284
our board of commissioners around our finances and

249
00:09:19,284 --> 00:09:20,985
strategic operations and vision.

250
00:09:21,365 --> 00:09:23,605
So it's it really is ingrained in in

251
00:09:23,605 --> 00:09:25,945
our company's culture and mission to make sure

252
00:09:26,245 --> 00:09:26,745
that,

253
00:09:27,284 --> 00:09:28,904
that engagement piece is there.

254
00:09:29,845 --> 00:09:31,945
Lastly, I will add, we have special

255
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,620
committees of, subpopulations within our membership,

256
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,419
that are unique, that that need,

257
00:09:39,199 --> 00:09:42,639
a more strategic and intentional focus. So for

258
00:09:42,639 --> 00:09:45,120
example, in California, there is a program called

259
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,964
California Children's Services, and it is for children

260
00:09:47,964 --> 00:09:50,325
and youth and young adults with, special and

261
00:09:50,325 --> 00:09:52,424
complex healthcare needs. And at Partnership,

262
00:09:53,205 --> 00:09:54,085
we are,

263
00:09:54,565 --> 00:09:56,725
we have a majority of them within our

264
00:09:56,725 --> 00:09:58,404
membership in the counties that we serve. And

265
00:09:58,404 --> 00:10:00,644
so, we have a special committee of just

266
00:10:00,644 --> 00:10:03,065
those clients, their parents, and or their caregivers,

267
00:10:03,899 --> 00:10:07,440
to have bidirectional feedback about about their experiences

268
00:10:07,579 --> 00:10:09,259
and how we can improve their health care

269
00:10:09,259 --> 00:10:12,220
outcomes being that they are unique within the

270
00:10:12,220 --> 00:10:14,799
health care delivery system and they are also

271
00:10:15,019 --> 00:10:18,079
high users of health care delivery. And so

272
00:10:18,304 --> 00:10:20,784
who best to talk to than them, in

273
00:10:20,784 --> 00:10:22,464
terms of making sure that we're getting it

274
00:10:22,464 --> 00:10:22,964
right?

275
00:10:24,304 --> 00:10:26,384
That's such a great point. Thank you for

276
00:10:26,384 --> 00:10:28,384
walking us through that. Now before we wrap

277
00:10:28,384 --> 00:10:30,784
up our conversation, I'm wondering, what will the

278
00:10:30,784 --> 00:10:32,790
most effective health care leaders need in order

279
00:10:32,790 --> 00:10:34,230
to be successful in the next two to

280
00:10:34,230 --> 00:10:36,470
three years, especially given some of the big

281
00:10:36,470 --> 00:10:37,850
themes we've talked about today?

282
00:10:38,550 --> 00:10:39,110
Yeah. I

283
00:10:40,149 --> 00:10:42,070
first and foremost, my best piece of advice

284
00:10:42,070 --> 00:10:44,070
is health care leaders, as always, you've gotta

285
00:10:44,070 --> 00:10:44,730
be agile.

286
00:10:45,404 --> 00:10:47,804
Things are constantly changing in health care and

287
00:10:47,804 --> 00:10:50,125
and more so. The pace feels more more

288
00:10:50,125 --> 00:10:50,625
frenetic.

289
00:10:51,084 --> 00:10:54,384
But, agile, tech savvy, and financially strategic,

290
00:10:55,084 --> 00:10:58,845
and deeply committed to the member voice, as

291
00:10:58,845 --> 00:10:59,504
I explained,

292
00:11:00,750 --> 00:11:02,830
with having them always at the center for

293
00:11:02,830 --> 00:11:04,210
for high quality outcomes.

294
00:11:04,990 --> 00:11:07,490
The best leaders will champion quality and accessibility,

295
00:11:08,590 --> 00:11:10,050
with personalized approaches.

296
00:11:10,830 --> 00:11:12,830
And they're they're gonna need to stay ahead

297
00:11:12,830 --> 00:11:14,050
of these policy changes,

298
00:11:14,670 --> 00:11:17,035
compliance requirements, reimbursement models.

299
00:11:17,735 --> 00:11:20,235
That that's going to be a key component,

300
00:11:20,934 --> 00:11:22,154
in order to leverage

301
00:11:22,615 --> 00:11:25,434
the existing funding streams and and key partners,

302
00:11:25,894 --> 00:11:26,875
that are out there.

303
00:11:27,429 --> 00:11:29,990
With the rapid shifts in potential regulations that

304
00:11:29,990 --> 00:11:30,649
are coming,

305
00:11:31,509 --> 00:11:34,470
leaders in healthcare are really going to have

306
00:11:34,470 --> 00:11:36,649
to kind of think outside

307
00:11:37,429 --> 00:11:39,050
their existing coalitions,

308
00:11:40,274 --> 00:11:42,534
for for broader opportunities for partnership.

309
00:11:43,554 --> 00:11:46,434
I think and believe and have seen that

310
00:11:46,434 --> 00:11:48,835
we are more more alike than we are

311
00:11:48,835 --> 00:11:49,335
different.

312
00:11:49,715 --> 00:11:52,215
And so we're gonna need health care leaders

313
00:11:52,274 --> 00:11:54,847
that that can work together on the similarities,

314
00:11:58,540 --> 00:11:59,759
resources more appropriately.

315
00:12:01,980 --> 00:12:03,500
Catherine, thank you so much for joining us

316
00:12:03,500 --> 00:12:05,259
on the podcast today. This has been such

317
00:12:05,259 --> 00:12:07,420
a fun and fascinating conversation, and I look

318
00:12:07,420 --> 00:12:09,279
forward to connecting with you again soon.

319
00:12:10,445 --> 00:12:11,964
Sounds great. Thank you so much, Laura, for

320
00:12:11,964 --> 00:12:12,705
having me.
