>> THANK YOU FOR
ORGANIZING THIS

28
00:01:33,923 --> 00:01:36,192
NO SCRIPT BECAUSE I WILL SPEAK 

29
00:01:36,192 --> 00:01:38,628
FROM MY HEART, EASY TO DO, 

30
00:01:38,628 --> 00:01:39,595
RIGHT.

31
00:01:39,595 --> 00:01:40,897
DR. WALKER-McGILL WE ARE CON 

32
00:01:40,897 --> 00:01:44,300
EFFECTED IN SO MANY WAYS, 

33
00:01:44,300 --> 00:01:45,168
PROFESSIONALLY, HISTORICALLY.

34
00:01:45,168 --> 00:01:49,138
I THINK I HEARD AND WATCHED YOUR

35
00:01:49,138 --> 00:01:49,639
FILM.

36
00:01:49,639 --> 00:01:54,110
I THINK WE ARE ALL SOULS 

37
00:01:54,110 --> 00:01:55,244
TOGETHER.

38
00:01:55,244 --> 00:01:57,680
FOR ME TO TALK ABOUT DISPARITIES

39
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,216
THAT SPECIFICALLY GOES TO ORAL 

40
00:02:00,216 --> 00:02:02,251
HEALTH IS EASY BECAUSE WE'RE 

41
00:02:02,251 --> 00:02:03,686
HERE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE 

42
00:02:03,686 --> 00:02:04,654
THROUGH SCIENCE.

43
00:02:04,654 --> 00:02:05,321
BECAUSE SCIENCE FUELS KNOWLEDGE 

44
00:02:05,321 --> 00:02:08,925
AND GIVES US A REASON FOR 

45
00:02:08,925 --> 00:02:09,525
UNDERSTANDING LIFE ITSELF AND 

46
00:02:09,525 --> 00:02:16,999
THE HUMAN PROCESS.

47
00:02:16,999 --> 00:02:19,135
IT IS THROUGH SCIENCE WE CAN 

48
00:02:19,135 --> 00:02:21,204
MAKE POLICY REFORM POSSIBLE.

49
00:02:21,204 --> 00:02:25,575
WHEN WE LOOK AT DISPARITIES I 

50
00:02:25,575 --> 00:02:27,877
LOOK A LOT AS MULTI-LEVEL, 

51
00:02:27,877 --> 00:02:29,011
MULTI-FACTORIAL PHENOMENON AND A

52
00:02:29,011 --> 00:02:31,547
PART OF THE HUMAN PROCESS TO 

53
00:02:31,547 --> 00:02:32,715
LOOK AT ANOTHER HUMAN BEING AND 

54
00:02:32,715 --> 00:02:36,385
TO BE CASTING AN OPINION AND 

55
00:02:36,385 --> 00:02:37,853
ASPERSION, A DISLIKE FOR OR 

56
00:02:37,853 --> 00:02:39,255
GREAT LOVE FOR AND IF YOU LOOK 

57
00:02:39,255 --> 00:02:40,489
AROUND THE WORLD TODAY YOU CAN 

58
00:02:40,489 --> 00:02:43,626
SEE THAT PLAY OUT IN SO MANY 

59
00:02:43,626 --> 00:02:53,736
WAYS.

60
00:02:57,039 --> 00:02:58,007
AND WHY ORAL HEALTH IS 

61
00:02:58,007 --> 00:02:58,274
IMPORTANT.

62
00:02:58,274 --> 00:03:01,944
YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE THE 

63
00:03:01,944 --> 00:03:04,580
PERFECT SMILE WHICH IS WHAT WE 

64
00:03:04,580 --> 00:03:06,115
STRIVE FOR BUT YOU HAVE THE 

65
00:03:06,115 --> 00:03:07,717
RIGHT TO USE OUR MEDICAL AND 

66
00:03:07,717 --> 00:03:08,851
HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS TO PRESERVE 

67
00:03:08,851 --> 00:03:13,956
THAT UNIQUE IDENTITY YOU CALL 

68
00:03:13,956 --> 00:03:15,358
YOUR FACE AND SMILE AND 

69
00:03:15,358 --> 00:03:16,325
DISTINGUISHES YOU AND DOESN'T 

70
00:03:16,325 --> 00:03:18,894
TAKE MUCH TO SEE A HOMELESS MAN 

71
00:03:18,894 --> 00:03:20,930
MISSING A TOOTH OR WOMAN, FRONT 

72
00:03:20,930 --> 00:03:23,733
TOOTH AND COWERING IN SHAME.

73
00:03:23,733 --> 00:03:27,169
PUT THAT TOOTH BACK, YOU RESTORE

74
00:03:27,169 --> 00:03:30,172
A CHIPPED TOOTH OR LOST TOOTH 

75
00:03:30,172 --> 00:03:32,141
BACK AND YOU SEE UNFOLD IN FRONT

76
00:03:32,141 --> 00:03:34,577
YOUR EYES TRANSFORMATION, HOPE 

77
00:03:34,577 --> 00:03:36,245
AND PROMISE FOR THAT INDIVIDUAL.

78
00:03:36,245 --> 00:03:38,681
THEY GO INTO THE WORKFORCE AND 

79
00:03:38,681 --> 00:03:39,248
HAVE THAT CONFIDENCE.

80
00:03:39,248 --> 00:03:41,984
BUT MORE THAN THAT, THE ORAL 

81
00:03:41,984 --> 00:03:45,054
CAVITY ITSELF, THIS PORTAL IS A 

82
00:03:45,054 --> 00:03:47,356
PORTAL OF ENTRY INTO THE HUMAN 

83
00:03:47,356 --> 00:03:47,623
BODY.

84
00:03:47,623 --> 00:03:54,463
SO ORAL HEALTH IN GENERAL ARE 

85
00:03:54,463 --> 00:03:55,631
INEXTRICABLY LINKED.

86
00:03:55,631 --> 00:03:57,033
IT'S OBVIOUS.

87
00:03:57,033 --> 00:03:58,167
IF YOU THINK OF THE 

88
00:03:58,167 --> 00:03:59,001
CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE AND 

89
00:03:59,001 --> 00:04:00,569
THREATS OF METABOLIC DISEASE 

90
00:04:00,569 --> 00:04:01,337
SYNDROME OR DIABETES AND YOU 

91
00:04:01,337 --> 00:04:03,406
LOOK AT THE SPECTRUM OF DISEASES

92
00:04:03,406 --> 00:04:05,675
THAT WE EN COUNTER AND I WILL 

93
00:04:05,675 --> 00:04:07,109
PUT SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER IN 

94
00:04:07,109 --> 00:04:08,644
THAT LIST BECAUSE IT IS A 

95
00:04:08,644 --> 00:04:09,245
DISEASE TODAY.

96
00:04:09,245 --> 00:04:14,383
IT'S A NATIONAL HEALTH CRISIS.

97
00:04:14,383 --> 00:04:16,218
EVERY ONE OF THESE SUBSTANCE AND

98
00:04:16,218 --> 00:04:18,788
RISK FACTORS ACTUALLY COME 

99
00:04:18,788 --> 00:04:21,924
THROUGH THE MOUTH.

100
00:04:21,924 --> 00:04:27,863
NUTRITION, BAD OR GOOD, TOBACCO,

101
00:04:27,863 --> 00:04:30,299
E-CIGARETTES, ALCOHOL, SUGARS, 

102
00:04:30,299 --> 00:04:33,135
ETCETERA, ALL COME THROUGH THE 

103
00:04:33,135 --> 00:04:35,838
MOUTH AND EFFECT DIFFERENT 

104
00:04:35,838 --> 00:04:36,539
BODILY SYSTEMS.

105
00:04:36,539 --> 00:04:39,709
YET WE CHOOSE TO LEAVE THE HEAD 

106
00:04:39,709 --> 00:04:41,410
FLOATING IN SPACE BECAUSE OF WHO

107
00:04:41,410 --> 00:04:42,678
WE ARE IN OUR SOCIETY TODAY.

108
00:04:42,678 --> 00:04:47,083
WE HAVE VISION, HEARING, DENTAL 

109
00:04:47,083 --> 00:04:47,650
AND MENTAL.

110
00:04:47,650 --> 00:04:48,384
ALL HERE.

111
00:04:48,384 --> 00:04:53,489
THE BRAIN, WE DO NEED TO SOMEHOW

112
00:04:53,489 --> 00:04:55,624
MAKE IT'S WAY TO THE CENTER OF 

113
00:04:55,624 --> 00:04:58,027
ATTENTION AND WE HAVE THE BRAIN 

114
00:04:58,027 --> 00:04:59,462
CELL ATLAS WHICH WILL SHED LIGHT

115
00:04:59,462 --> 00:05:01,864
ON A LOT OF OTHER CONDITIONS BUT

116
00:05:01,864 --> 00:05:06,702
THE REST OF IT SEEMS TO FLOAT IN

117
00:05:06,702 --> 00:05:08,838
PLACE BECAUSE THERE'S NO HEALTH 

118
00:05:08,838 --> 00:05:10,106
COVERING THAT'S UNIVERSAL THAT 

119
00:05:10,106 --> 00:05:11,240
EMBRACES THE SENSES AND 

120
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,975
FUNCTIONS WE HAVE.

121
00:05:12,975 --> 00:05:15,378
THAT'S THE FIRST DISPARITY WE 

122
00:05:15,378 --> 00:05:17,513
ALMOST HAVE TO TACKLE FIRST 

123
00:05:17,513 --> 00:05:18,981
BECAUSE THAT RECOGNITION OF 

124
00:05:18,981 --> 00:05:21,350
WANTING A TEAM OF PEOPLE 

125
00:05:21,350 --> 00:05:22,785
ALONGSIDE US, MEDICAL 

126
00:05:22,785 --> 00:05:25,388
COLLEAGUES, NURSING COLLEAGUES 

127
00:05:25,388 --> 00:05:27,790
AT EVERY LEVEL, LEGISLATORS, 

128
00:05:27,790 --> 00:05:31,026
EDUCATORS TO RECOGNIZE YOU CAN'T

129
00:05:31,026 --> 00:05:32,862
HAVE GOOD HEALTH IF YOU DON'T 

130
00:05:32,862 --> 00:05:33,596
HAVE GOOD ORAL HEALTH.

131
00:05:33,596 --> 00:05:35,164
NOW, IF YOU GO THROUGH THE DATA 

132
00:05:35,164 --> 00:05:38,868
AND I WILL SHOW YOU THIS AMAZING

133
00:05:38,868 --> 00:05:41,137
DOCUMENT WHICH I WILL GIVE YOU.

134
00:05:41,137 --> 00:05:45,107
IT'S A SUMMARY OF THE REPORT 

135
00:05:45,107 --> 00:05:48,377
THAT WAS FIRST COMMISSIONED BY 

136
00:05:48,377 --> 00:05:52,047
SURGEON GENERAL JEROME ADAMS AND

137
00:05:52,047 --> 00:05:55,518
AN ANESTHESIOLOGIST AND WORKED 

138
00:05:55,518 --> 00:05:56,819
UNDER THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, 

139
00:05:56,819 --> 00:06:00,456
AS A GOOD MAN AND HE DUTY WAS TO

140
00:06:00,456 --> 00:06:02,525
MASK PEOPLE AS THEY WENT TO AND 

141
00:06:02,525 --> 00:06:04,593
LOOKED INTO MOUTHS AND SAID OH, 

142
00:06:04,593 --> 00:06:07,863
MY GOD, WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE?

143
00:06:07,863 --> 00:06:10,132
HE SAW A LOT OF DISEASE AND THAT

144
00:06:10,132 --> 00:06:12,601
PROPELLED HIM TO COMMISSION 

145
00:06:12,601 --> 00:06:14,136
NIDCR AND STAKEHOLDERS TO REPORT

146
00:06:14,136 --> 00:06:15,538
ON TO THE ORAL STATUS OF THE 

147
00:06:15,538 --> 00:06:15,938
NATION.

148
00:06:15,938 --> 00:06:18,674
THE LAST TIME IT WAS DONE WAS 20

149
00:06:18,674 --> 00:06:22,645
YEARS AGO.

150
00:06:22,645 --> 00:06:29,351
 SURGEON GENERAL DAVID SATURE 

151
00:06:29,351 --> 00:06:31,487
DID THAT AND THERE COMES THE 

152
00:06:31,487 --> 00:06:32,888
PANDEMIC AND PRESIDENT TRUMP AND

153
00:06:32,888 --> 00:06:35,458
ALL THAT PULLED HIM FROM THE 

154
00:06:35,458 --> 00:06:35,658
TASK.

155
00:06:35,658 --> 00:06:37,426
WHEN I ARRIVED THAT'S THE FIRST 

156
00:06:37,426 --> 00:06:39,962
THING THAT LANDED IN MY LAP.

157
00:06:39,962 --> 00:06:41,263
THE FACT IT'S A SERVICE OF 

158
00:06:41,263 --> 00:06:42,665
PUBLIC TO SHOW WHERE WE ARE WAS 

159
00:06:42,665 --> 00:06:45,568
A REAL GIFT FOR ME BECAUSE WHAT 

160
00:06:45,568 --> 00:06:48,537
IT DID WAS AS WE RECOGNIZED 75 

161
00:06:48,537 --> 00:06:52,675
YEARS OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS FROM 

162
00:06:52,675 --> 00:06:54,376
NIDCR, THE SCIENCE AND 

163
00:06:54,376 --> 00:06:55,811
TECHNOLOGY WHOSE FRONTS WERE 

164
00:06:55,811 --> 00:06:56,879
CONVERGING FOR THE FIRST TIME 

165
00:06:56,879 --> 00:06:58,380
AND A MEAN THAT LITERALLY.

166
00:06:58,380 --> 00:07:00,916
REMEMBER THE INTERNET WAS SUCH A

167
00:07:00,916 --> 00:07:03,619
GREAT THING AND VERY TECHNOLOGY 

168
00:07:03,619 --> 00:07:05,621
DRIVEN AND THEN CAME THE GENOME 

169
00:07:05,621 --> 00:07:06,622
DISCOVERY AND THAT WAS GREAT 

170
00:07:06,622 --> 00:07:10,459
SCIENCE AND NOW WE CONNECT THE 

171
00:07:10,459 --> 00:07:11,861
TWO WITH DATA SCIENCE AND GREAT 

172
00:07:11,861 --> 00:07:15,297
ADVANCE IN OUR FIELDS.

173
00:07:15,297 --> 00:07:19,268
AND SO WE TOOK THIS ON.

174
00:07:19,268 --> 00:07:25,841
IT WAS A PUBLIC HEALTH DUTY TO 

175
00:07:25,841 --> 00:07:29,044
MAKE THIS WHAT WAS HARD TO DEAL 

176
00:07:29,044 --> 00:07:31,380
WITH WAS THE ADVANCES WE MADE 

177
00:07:31,380 --> 00:07:35,584
AND DEMONSTRATE WAS AT THE 

178
00:07:35,584 --> 00:07:37,419
FOREFRONT OF WITH NEW MATERIALS 

179
00:07:37,419 --> 00:07:40,289
AND GREAT DEVICES, PREFABRICATED

180
00:07:40,289 --> 00:07:43,893
BRACES AND BRACKETS.

181
00:07:43,893 --> 00:07:49,398
WONDERFUL TRADE LIKE TOOLS FOR 

182
00:07:49,398 --> 00:07:50,399
OUR PROFESSION TO SUCCEED 

183
00:07:50,399 --> 00:07:51,200
THROUGH THE HEALTH AND SMILE.

184
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,536
I LOOKED AT THAT AND I SAID WOW,

185
00:07:53,536 --> 00:07:54,803
LOTS TO BRAG ABOUT.

186
00:07:54,803 --> 00:07:57,806
THEN CAME THE DATA THAT FOUR OUT

187
00:07:57,806 --> 00:08:00,376
OF FIVE CHILDREN SUFFER FROM 

188
00:08:00,376 --> 00:08:06,181
UNTREATED DECAY.

189
00:08:06,181 --> 00:08:10,319
HPV CANCER RISING DESPITE 

190
00:08:10,319 --> 00:08:11,620
THERE'S VACCINES AND SURPRISING 

191
00:08:11,620 --> 00:08:12,588
IN YOUNG MALES.

192
00:08:12,588 --> 00:08:14,023
A CHILD BORN WITH A STRANGE 

193
00:08:14,023 --> 00:08:18,827
LOOKING HEAD OR HOLE OF THE ROOF

194
00:08:18,827 --> 00:08:28,370
OF THE MOUTH RANKS ON TOP OF THE

195
00:08:28,370 --> 00:08:31,473
INHERITED BIRTH DISORDERS.

196
00:08:31,473 --> 00:08:33,075
IT SHOOK ME TO THE CORE.

197
00:08:33,075 --> 00:08:34,977
WHAT ARE WE DOING DIFFERENTLY 

198
00:08:34,977 --> 00:08:36,745
AND DOING WRONG?

199
00:08:36,745 --> 00:08:38,314
WRONG IS PROBABLY THE BETTER 

200
00:08:38,314 --> 00:08:39,181
WORD TO USE.

201
00:08:39,181 --> 00:08:41,617
WE HAVE ALL THESE RESOURCES AND 

202
00:08:41,617 --> 00:08:42,851
STILL HAVE THIS DATA.

203
00:08:42,851 --> 00:08:44,320
I'LL BE TAKING WHAT WE HAVE 

204
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:45,521
PRODUCED AS EVIDENCE AND WHAT WE

205
00:08:45,521 --> 00:08:47,623
KNOW AND TRANSLATING IT INTO 

206
00:08:47,623 --> 00:08:49,558
WHAT WE DO.

207
00:08:49,558 --> 00:08:51,393
HOW DO WE DO THAT?

208
00:08:51,393 --> 00:08:53,429
AS YOU MOVE DOWN, HERE AMONGST 

209
00:08:53,429 --> 00:08:55,764
US AT NIH WE HAVE 27 INSTITUTES 

210
00:08:55,764 --> 00:08:56,699
AND CENTERS.

211
00:08:56,699 --> 00:08:57,800
THE FIRST THINK THAT WAS 

212
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:02,404
IMPORTANT FOR ME TO DO WAS TO 

213
00:09:02,404 --> 00:09:03,105
COMMUNICATE THE IMPORTANCE OF 

214
00:09:03,105 --> 00:09:07,610
THESE ISSUES TO MY FELLOW 

215
00:09:07,610 --> 00:09:07,876
DIRECTORS.

216
00:09:07,876 --> 00:09:09,078
THAT OPENED THE WAY TO 

217
00:09:09,078 --> 00:09:11,614
COLLABORATE IN INITIATIVES TO 

218
00:09:11,614 --> 00:09:15,017
DRAW TOGETHER IN A 

219
00:09:15,017 --> 00:09:16,018
MULTI-DISCIPLINARY WAY 

220
00:09:16,018 --> 00:09:16,652
INDIVIDUALS FROM VARIOUS WALKS 

221
00:09:16,652 --> 00:09:17,886
OF LIFE AND WE DIDN'T HAVE THE 

222
00:09:17,886 --> 00:09:19,622
RESOURCES BECAUSE WE'RE NOT THE 

223
00:09:19,622 --> 00:09:21,323
HIGHEST FUNDED INSTITUTE, WE'RE 

224
00:09:21,323 --> 00:09:24,827
NOT BAD WITH $500 MILLION WE CAN

225
00:09:24,827 --> 00:09:30,099
DO A LOT BUT WE'RE NOT NIAID OR 

226
00:09:30,099 --> 00:09:34,670
NCI AND WERE SUCCESSFUL IN 

227
00:09:34,670 --> 00:09:36,639
BRINGING THEM TO THE TABLE.

228
00:09:36,639 --> 00:09:40,075
AS WE MOVE DOWN THE CASCADE OR 

229
00:09:40,075 --> 00:09:44,580
HIERARCHY OF DISPARITIES, 

230
00:09:44,580 --> 00:09:45,347
AFRICAN AMERICANS HAVE 

231
00:09:45,347 --> 00:09:45,948
EXPERIENCED HEALTH AND ORAL 

232
00:09:45,948 --> 00:09:56,291
HEALTH DIFFERENTLY.

233
00:09:57,192 --> 00:10:01,530
I JUST WATCHED THIS AMAZING SHOW

234
00:10:01,530 --> 00:10:05,267
CALLED ORIGINS AND WROTE A 

235
00:10:05,267 --> 00:10:06,068
PHILOSOPHICAL HIGH-LEVEL VIEW 

236
00:10:06,068 --> 00:10:09,238
POINT ABOUT A CLASS OF PEOPLE, 

237
00:10:09,238 --> 00:10:11,040
POPULATION OF PEOPLE WHO DO NOT 

238
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:11,940
HAVE ACCESS TO SOMETHING WE 

239
00:10:11,940 --> 00:10:13,876
CONSIDER A RIGHT AND NOT A 

240
00:10:13,876 --> 00:10:21,150
PRIVILEGE.

241
00:10:21,150 --> 00:10:22,418
EVERYTHING WE HAVE DONE FROM THE

242
00:10:22,418 --> 00:10:25,287
STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS WE HAVE 

243
00:10:25,287 --> 00:10:26,021
FIVE WHICH BY THE WAY WAS 

244
00:10:26,021 --> 00:10:28,290
DEVELOPED INDEPENDENT OF THE 

245
00:10:28,290 --> 00:10:30,826
SURGEON GENERAL OF THE REPORT.

246
00:10:30,826 --> 00:10:32,227
MAGICALLY IT BECAME NATURALLY 

247
00:10:32,227 --> 00:10:32,461
ALIGNED.

248
00:10:32,461 --> 00:10:34,129
WE DID NOT CHECK BECAUSE I WAS 

249
00:10:34,129 --> 00:10:40,369
NOT DOING THE EDITING I WAS 

250
00:10:40,369 --> 00:10:41,136
SHEPHERDING IT TO COMPLETION 

251
00:10:41,136 --> 00:10:43,238
WHILST GETTING OUR TEAM TOGETHER

252
00:10:43,238 --> 00:10:45,474
IN THE VIRTUAL ERA OF THE 

253
00:10:45,474 --> 00:10:46,608
PANDEMIC COMING UP WITH WHERE WE

254
00:10:46,608 --> 00:10:49,878
WANT TO GO IN THE NEXT 25 YEARS.

255
00:10:49,878 --> 00:10:53,148
THE FIRST OF OUR GOALS IS 

256
00:10:53,148 --> 00:10:54,149
PROVIDE THE MEAT ON THE BONES 

257
00:10:54,149 --> 00:10:56,685
FOR WHAT CONNECTS THE ORAL 

258
00:10:56,685 --> 00:10:58,387
CAVITY TO THE REST OF THE BODY.

259
00:10:58,387 --> 00:10:59,088
ASSOCIATIONS ARE ASSOCIATIONS.

260
00:10:59,088 --> 00:11:01,256
WE NEED PROOF.

261
00:11:01,256 --> 00:11:05,127
WE NEED PROOF IF YOU HAVE 

262
00:11:05,127 --> 00:11:06,361
PERIODONTAL DISEASE EVEN IN THE 

263
00:11:06,361 --> 00:11:07,963
MILDEST FORM AND HAVE TO GO TO 

264
00:11:07,963 --> 00:11:11,333
HOSPITAL FOR FRACTURED KNEE OR 

265
00:11:11,333 --> 00:11:13,669
LEG, THE CHANCES YOU'LL PICK UP 

266
00:11:13,669 --> 00:11:14,903
PNEUMONIA ARE HUGE.

267
00:11:14,903 --> 00:11:17,506
THAT'S A FACT AND THAT IS DATA 

268
00:11:17,506 --> 00:11:17,906
DRIVEN.

269
00:11:17,906 --> 00:11:20,743
IF YOU'RE SCHEDULED FOR 

270
00:11:20,743 --> 00:11:22,878
CHEMOTHERAPY, THAT YOU HAVE 

271
00:11:22,878 --> 00:11:25,748
BETTER HAVE YOUR ORAL HEALTH IN 

272
00:11:25,748 --> 00:11:28,984
CHECK BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T, YOUR

273
00:11:28,984 --> 00:11:31,086
SALIVARY GLANDS PRODUCE LESS 

274
00:11:31,086 --> 00:11:32,154
SALIVA AND YOU'LL HAVE A 

275
00:11:32,154 --> 00:11:34,823
MOUTHFUL OF DECAY AND DISEASE.

276
00:11:34,823 --> 00:11:36,725
FINALLY WHEN YOU HAVE AN ORGAN 

277
00:11:36,725 --> 00:11:37,926
TRANSPLANT THEY'RE NOT GOING 

278
00:11:37,926 --> 00:11:40,496
GIVE YOU AN ORGAN FROM SOMEONE 

279
00:11:40,496 --> 00:11:43,065
ELSE -- HOPEFULLY A HUMAN BEING,

280
00:11:43,065 --> 00:11:45,634
AND GIVE YOU ALL THE 

281
00:11:45,634 --> 00:11:46,769
IMMUNOSUPPRESSIVE DRUGS WHEN 

282
00:11:46,769 --> 00:11:48,270
HAVE YOU RAGING PERIODONTAL 

283
00:11:48,270 --> 00:11:49,738
DISEASE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE 

284
00:11:49,738 --> 00:11:52,307
FOCUS OF INFORMATION THAT'S 

285
00:11:52,307 --> 00:11:54,576
GOING TO AFFECT THE SUCCESS OF 

286
00:11:54,576 --> 00:11:57,112
THE ORGAN TRANSPLANT ITSELF.

287
00:11:57,112 --> 00:11:58,714
THESE THREE THINGS, JENNIFER, 

288
00:11:58,714 --> 00:12:01,917
THANK YOU, AND MIKE I KNOW YOU 

289
00:12:01,917 --> 00:12:05,220
WORKED ON THIS WITH CMS AND 

290
00:12:05,220 --> 00:12:06,989
MOVED LEGISLATION ON THE FLOOR 

291
00:12:06,989 --> 00:12:08,223
REGARDLESS OF YOUR BACKGROUND 

292
00:12:08,223 --> 00:12:10,926
RACE, ETHNIC, SOCIO ECONOMIC YOU

293
00:12:10,926 --> 00:12:13,929
WOULD BE ENTITLED TO MEDICARE 

294
00:12:13,929 --> 00:12:14,897
COVERAGE IF YOU HAVE A MEDICAL 

295
00:12:14,897 --> 00:12:18,333
CONDITION THAT WOULD BENEFIT 

296
00:12:18,333 --> 00:12:19,468
FROM GOOD STABLE OPTIMAL ORAL 

297
00:12:19,468 --> 00:12:19,735
HEALTH.

298
00:12:19,735 --> 00:12:23,906
THAT IS AMAZING THAT STEP WAS 

299
00:12:23,906 --> 00:12:24,740
TAKEN.

300
00:12:24,740 --> 00:12:28,143
I'M ASSUMING IT'S OFFICIAL, 

301
00:12:28,143 --> 00:12:29,278
RIGHT, JENNIFER?

302
00:12:29,278 --> 00:12:29,478
OKAY.

303
00:12:29,478 --> 00:12:30,279
YOU'LL CONTINUE THAT.

304
00:12:30,279 --> 00:12:32,147
SO THERE IS A NEED TO CONTINUE 

305
00:12:32,147 --> 00:12:35,617
DOWN THE SECOND AIM IS TO TAKE 

306
00:12:35,617 --> 00:12:36,819
THAT INFORMATION AND SAY, 

307
00:12:36,819 --> 00:12:40,522

308
00:12:40,522 --> 00:12:49,865
GENETIC BIO CHEMICAL MAKE UP I'M

309
00:12:49,865 --> 00:12:51,633
GOING TO TRY TO PERSONALIZE FOR 

310
00:12:51,633 --> 00:12:53,535
YOU AND GIVE YOU THE RIGHT 

311
00:12:53,535 --> 00:12:55,604
TREATMENT AT THE RIGHT TIME FOR 

312
00:12:55,604 --> 00:12:58,841
THE RIGHT REASON BUT IT'S C

313
00:12:58,841 --> 00:13:02,144
CONNECTED TO AN AIM.

314
00:13:02,144 --> 00:13:04,680
THE THIRD AIM WHERE WE'RE 

315
00:13:04,680 --> 00:13:06,215
LOOKING IS IMPLEMENTATION AND 

316
00:13:06,215 --> 00:13:08,016
TAKE WHAT WE KNOW AND TRANSLATE 

317
00:13:08,016 --> 00:13:09,785
IT AND EACH ONE OF YOU IN YOUR 

318
00:13:09,785 --> 00:13:11,086
ROLES CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

319
00:13:11,086 --> 00:13:12,521
THE FOURTH IS FOR US TO MAKE 

320
00:13:12,521 --> 00:13:16,825
SURE THAT WE HAVE A DIVERSE 

321
00:13:16,825 --> 00:13:19,928
WORKFORCE AND CONNECT WITH 

322
00:13:19,928 --> 00:13:21,330
STAKEHOLDERS.

323
00:13:21,330 --> 00:13:21,997

324
00:13:21,997 --> 00:13:24,466
MEAT OF THIS AFTERNOON'S 

325
00:13:24,466 --> 00:13:24,766
DISCUSSION.

326
00:13:24,766 --> 00:13:26,869
EVERY ONE OF THEM AND JENNIFER I

327
00:13:26,869 --> 00:13:29,304

328
00:13:29,304 --> 00:13:33,842
SPECIFICS, IT'S TAILORED TO 

329
00:13:33,842 --> 00:13:34,476
REDUCING DISPARITIES THAT EXIST 

330
00:13:34,476 --> 00:13:36,845
IN OUR SOCIETY.

331
00:13:36,845 --> 00:13:39,548
WE CARE DEEPLY ABOUT IT BECAUSE 

332
00:13:39,548 --> 00:13:40,782
OUR DATA SHOWS AFRICAN AMERICANS

333
00:13:40,782 --> 00:13:41,683
ARE MORE AT RISK FOR CERTAIN 

334
00:13:41,683 --> 00:13:43,619
DISEASE AND YOU KNOW SOME OF 

335
00:13:43,619 --> 00:13:45,220
THEM, WE CAN TELL YOU MORE.

336
00:13:45,220 --> 00:13:46,955
SO WE'RE USING ALL THAT TO MAKE 

337
00:13:46,955 --> 00:13:49,791
A DIFFERENCE.

338
00:13:49,791 --> 00:13:52,194
WE CARE DEEPLY ABOUT THE STATUS 

339
00:13:52,194 --> 00:13:54,329
OF OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM.

340
00:13:54,329 --> 00:13:57,199
THE FACT THAT ORAL HEALTH WILL 

341
00:13:57,199 --> 00:13:59,601
BE RECOGNIZED IS AN IMPORTANT 

342
00:13:59,601 --> 00:14:01,603

SO, "SOMEONE ELSE'S SHOES".

392
00:16:33,755 --> 00:16:36,458
AS A KID I ALWAYS THOUGHT ABOUT 

393
00:16:36,458 --> 00:16:37,392
SHOES AND MY GRANDMOTHER TALKED 

394
00:16:37,392 --> 00:16:39,561
ABOUT A TIME GROWING UP IN SOUTH

395
00:16:39,561 --> 00:16:41,430
CAROLINA WHEN SHE DIDN'T HAVE 

396
00:16:41,430 --> 00:16:41,630
SHOES.

397
00:16:41,630 --> 00:16:43,565
IT WAS ALWAYS SOMETHING I 

398
00:16:43,565 --> 00:16:44,966
THOUGHT ABOUT AND I WOULD BUY 

399
00:16:44,966 --> 00:16:46,802
PIECES MUCH ARTWORK AND THINGS 

400
00:16:46,802 --> 00:16:48,537
LIKE THAT ABOUT SHOES.

401
00:16:48,537 --> 00:16:50,372
AND WHEN MY HUSBAND PASSED I WAS

402
00:16:50,372 --> 00:16:53,809
THINKING SO MUCH, WE HAD PLANNED

403
00:16:53,809 --> 00:16:57,379
TO WRITE A BOOK TOGETHER ON 

404
00:16:57,379 --> 00:16:59,681
ACKNOWLEDGING TRAILBLAZERS IN 

405
00:16:59,681 --> 00:17:01,216
NORTH CAROLINA BOTH IN MEDICINE 

406
00:17:01,216 --> 00:17:02,617
AND DENTISTRY.

407
00:17:02,617 --> 00:17:04,453
FOR ANYONE WHO KNOWS US OR KNEW 

408
00:17:04,453 --> 00:17:07,022
US, WE WOULD ALWAYS GO TO EACH 

409
00:17:07,022 --> 00:17:09,591
OTHER'S MEETING.

410
00:17:09,591 --> 00:17:10,892
I WOULD GO TO THE ORTHODONTIC 

411
00:17:10,892 --> 00:17:12,828
MEETINGS AND HE WOULD COME TO 

412
00:17:12,828 --> 00:17:14,429
MINE AND WE ALWAYS THOUGHT OF 

413
00:17:14,429 --> 00:17:16,131
THINGS TOGETHER AND EVEN WHEN WE

414
00:17:16,131 --> 00:17:19,835
DID AN INTERNSHIP PROGRAM IN 

415
00:17:19,835 --> 00:17:22,671
CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA IT WAS

416
00:17:22,671 --> 00:17:24,539
BOTH FOR YOUNG HIGH SCHOOL 

417
00:17:24,539 --> 00:17:27,109
STUDENTS INTERESTED IN BECOMING 

418
00:17:27,109 --> 00:17:29,044
DOCTORS AND THOSE INTERESTED IN 

419
00:17:29,044 --> 00:17:30,378
BECOMING DENTIST AND CALLED IT 

420
00:17:30,378 --> 00:17:32,080
THE TRACK PROGRAM.

421
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:33,315
WE FOUND ALMOST EVERYONE WANTED 

422
00:17:33,315 --> 00:17:36,151
TO GO INTO DENTISTRY AND FEW 

423
00:17:36,151 --> 00:17:36,785
WERE EXPRESSING INTEREST IN 

424
00:17:36,785 --> 00:17:39,287
MEDICINE SO I HAD TO WORK HARDER

425
00:17:39,287 --> 00:17:41,289
WITH THAT.

426
00:17:41,289 --> 00:17:43,158
HE ACTUALLY WENT TO THE 

427
00:17:43,158 --> 00:17:44,759
UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT 

428
00:17:44,759 --> 00:17:47,829
CHARLOTTE FOR UNDERGRAD AND CAME

429
00:17:47,829 --> 00:17:51,700
UP TO D.C. AND WAS EDUCATED AT 

430
00:17:51,700 --> 00:17:53,135
HOWARD UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF 

431
00:17:53,135 --> 00:17:57,639
DENTISTRY AND ALSO WHERE HE HAD 

432
00:17:57,639 --> 00:17:59,241
HIS ORTHODONTIC TRAINING AND 

433
00:17:59,241 --> 00:18:01,209
WHEN HE WENT BACK TO CHARLOTTE 

434
00:18:01,209 --> 00:18:03,612
WILL WERE MANY PEOPLE WHO SAID 

435
00:18:03,612 --> 00:18:05,914
DON'T COME TO CHARLOTTE BECAUSE 

436
00:18:05,914 --> 00:18:07,616
YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO SURVIVE AND

437
00:18:07,616 --> 00:18:09,751
HE WENT ANYWAY.

438
00:18:09,751 --> 00:18:11,419
INITIALLY, I REMEMBER HIM 

439
00:18:11,419 --> 00:18:13,588
TELLING ME HOW THERE WERE 

440
00:18:13,588 --> 00:18:14,990
DENTISTS IN CHARLOTTE WHO WOULD 

441
00:18:14,990 --> 00:18:17,592
NOT SEE HIS PATIENTS.

442
00:18:17,592 --> 00:18:19,561
HE WOULD REFER THEM AND THE 

443
00:18:19,561 --> 00:18:21,096
DENTISTS WOULD SAY, WE CAN'T 

444
00:18:21,096 --> 00:18:22,731
ACTUALLY HAVE THAT PATIENT IN 

445
00:18:22,731 --> 00:18:23,999
OUR OFFICE BUT I'M WILLING TO

00:18:23,999 --> 00:18:27,836

450
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,943
THAT'S THE ENVIRONMENT HE WENT 

451
00:18:34,943 --> 00:18:35,143
INTO.

452
00:18:35,143 --> 00:18:39,281
AND DESPITE THAT, HE THRIVED.

453
00:18:39,281 --> 00:18:41,917
HE WAS A VERY HAPPY MAN.

454
00:18:41,917 --> 00:18:43,752
HE LOVED SERVING THE COMMUNITY 

455
00:18:43,752 --> 00:18:49,324
AND HE SET UP IN THIS AREA 

456
00:18:49,324 --> 00:18:52,127

ORTHODONTIC ASSISTANT SO THEY 

464
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:06,641

FIRST WENT TO DUKE.

482
00:19:55,690 --> 00:19:58,793

THE AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS AT

00:20:08,637 --> 00:20:10,205
UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS TO SAY 

489
00:20:10,205 --> 00:20:14,776
THIS IS WHAT SHE WAS A DOC BUT

THERE FOR EVERYBODY AND THAT 

491
00:20:19,748 --> 00:20:21,149

495
00:20:38,433 --> 00:20:40,935
>> EVERY TIME I'M ON IS
THE SITE

496
00:20:40,935 --> 00:20:42,037
AND AROUND SOMEBODY WILL DRIVE 

497
00:20:42,037 --> 00:20:44,606
BY AND SHOUT OUT THE WINDOW OF 

498
00:20:44,606 --> 00:20:49,944
THEIR CAR, MY GRANDMOTHER WAS 

499
00:20:49,944 --> 00:20:52,947
BORN THERE OR MY GRANDFATHER 

500
00:20:52,947 --> 00:20:54,115
USED TO WORK THERE.

501
00:20:54,115 --> 00:20:56,685
THIS SITE HAS SUCH A STRONG 

502
00:20:56,685 --> 00:20:58,153
CONNECTION TO THE SURROUNDING 

503
00:20:58,153 --> 00:20:58,420
COMMUNITY.

504
00:20:58,420 --> 00:21:05,927
ST. AGNES WAS FOUNDED IN 1896.

505
00:21:05,927 --> 00:21:08,496
ST. AGNES HOSPITAL WAS 

506
00:21:08,496 --> 00:21:11,199
ESTABLISHED IN 1896 BUT STARTED 

507
00:21:11,199 --> 00:21:12,767
IN THE HOME OF ONE OF THE 

508
00:21:12,767 --> 00:21:14,769
FOUNDERS AND LATER BUILT TO AN 

509
00:21:14,769 --> 00:21:17,339
ACTUAL BUILDING SO ST. AGNES WAS

510
00:21:17,339 --> 00:21:19,007
BUILT TO TRAIN TEACHERS AND 

511
00:21:19,007 --> 00:21:21,309
TRAIN DOCTORS AND NURSES AND HAD

512
00:21:21,309 --> 00:21:25,847
OVER 500 NURSES THEY TRAINED.

513
00:21:25,847 --> 00:21:27,849
BACK THEN BEING A NURSE WAS LIKE

514
00:21:27,849 --> 00:21:31,252
BEING A DOCTOR OR TEACHER AND 

515
00:21:31,252 --> 00:21:32,821
HELD IN HIGH REGARD AND HIGHLY 

516
00:21:32,821 --> 00:21:33,088
RESPECTED.

517
00:21:33,088 --> 00:21:35,557
>> THE FIRST NURSES WERE A

518
00:21:35,557 --> 00:21:40,795
GENERATION AWAY FROM SLAVERY SO 

519
00:21:40,795 --> 00:21:42,931
THEY WERE NOT LEARNED PEOPLE WHO

520
00:21:42,931 --> 00:21:45,066
OFTEN TIMES FINISHED ELEMENTARY 

521
00:21:45,066 --> 00:21:46,167
SCHOOL OR HIGH SCHOOL IN ORDER 

522
00:21:46,167 --> 00:21:47,469
TO BECOME A NURSE.

523
00:21:47,469 --> 00:21:52,240
THEY HAD TO GO TO A PROBATIONARY

524
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:53,041
PERIOD AND WHILE THEY WERE 

525
00:21:53,041 --> 00:21:55,610
TRAINING TO BE A NURSE, THEY 

526
00:21:55,610 --> 00:21:58,613
TOOK COURSES LIKE COOKING, THEY 

527
00:21:58,613 --> 00:22:01,249
TOOK COURSES LIKE SEWING BECAUSE

528
00:22:01,249 --> 00:22:03,284
THEY HAD TO IN MANY CASES SEW 

529
00:22:03,284 --> 00:22:07,956
THEIR OWN UNIFORMS AND THEY 

530
00:22:07,956 --> 00:22:09,791
REALLY WERE MORE OR LESS BEING 

531
00:22:09,791 --> 00:22:11,226
TRAINED TO BE DOMESTIC SERVANTS.

532
00:22:11,226 --> 00:22:13,962
>> IT WAS A SMALL HOSPITAL
BUT 

533
00:22:13,962 --> 00:22:14,629
MIGHTY.

534
00:22:14,629 --> 00:22:17,198
IT SERVICED THE COMMUNITY AND 

535
00:22:17,198 --> 00:22:18,767
BLACK PEOPLE AND WHITE PEOPLE 

536
00:22:18,767 --> 00:22:19,601
AND EVENTUALLY CLOSED BECAUSE OF

537
00:22:19,601 --> 00:22:21,736
THE NATURE OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING

538
00:22:21,736 --> 00:22:23,738
IN THE MEDICAL FIELD, WHAT WAS 

539
00:22:23,738 --> 00:22:25,340
HAPPENING IN MEDICINE AND HOW 

540
00:22:25,340 --> 00:22:29,444
THE RESOURCES WERE NOT FUNDED TO

541
00:22:29,444 --> 00:22:31,446
ST. AGNES HOSPITAL SO IT CLOSED 

542
00:22:31,446 --> 00:22:32,981
IN 1961.

543
00:22:32,981 --> 00:22:36,951
>> WE'RE REIMAGINING ST.
AGNES 

544
00:22:36,951 --> 00:22:39,254
TO BE THE HEALTH CARE CENTER FOR

545
00:22:39,254 --> 00:22:42,357
HEALTH DISPARITIES AN IT'S 

546
00:22:42,357 --> 00:22:43,958
IMPORTANT TO THE RALEIGH AREA 

547
00:22:43,958 --> 00:22:45,193
AND AFRICAN AMERICANS AND WE'LL 

548
00:22:45,193 --> 00:22:46,928
STUDY WHY DO WE HAVE SO MANY 

549
00:22:46,928 --> 00:22:49,764
DISPARITIES IN OUR COMMUNITIES.

550
00:22:49,764 --> 00:22:52,033
WHY IS HEALTH CARE STILL NOT 

551
00:22:52,033 --> 00:22:53,768
ACCESSIBLE TO SO MANY IN OUR 

552
00:22:53,768 --> 00:22:54,068
COMMUNITIES.

553
00:22:54,068 --> 00:22:56,871
WE'LL STUDY THOSE OPPORTUNITIES 

554
00:22:56,871 --> 00:22:58,173
FOR HEALTH CARE IN AFRICAN 

555
00:22:58,173 --> 00:22:59,607
AMERICANS AND OUR PARTICULAR DNA

556
00:22:59,607 --> 00:23:02,710
OF HEALTH.

557
00:23:02,710 --> 00:23:04,979
>> I HOPE THAT IT WILL BE
A 

558
00:23:04,979 --> 00:23:10,051
PLACE THAT WILL REMIND OUR YOUNG

559
00:23:10,051 --> 00:23:20,595
PEOPLE OF FROM WHERE WE'VE COME.

560
00:23:42,016 --> 00:23:46,788
>> THE INTEGRATION OF
HEALTH 

561
00:23:46,788 --> 00:23:48,256
CARE IN NORTH CAROLINA LED FOR 

562
00:23:48,256 --> 00:23:50,792
GREATER COLLABORATION AND THE 

563
00:23:50,792 --> 00:23:52,193
SHARING OF KNOWLEDGE AMONG 

564
00:23:52,193 --> 00:23:52,760
HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS.

565
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:53,862
WHILE THERE WERE STILL 

566
00:23:53,862 --> 00:23:55,597
CHALLENGES TO BE FACED THE 

567
00:23:55,597 --> 00:23:56,598
INTEGRATION OF HEALTH CARE IN 

568
00:23:56,598 --> 00:23:58,600
NORTH CAROLINA MARK A STEP 

569
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,302
FORWARD IN THE FIGHT FOR EQUAL 

570
00:24:01,302 --> 00:24:02,871
ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE.

571
00:24:02,871 --> 00:24:06,441
DR. KENNETH H. CHAMBERS, ONE OF 

572
00:24:06,441 --> 00:24:08,276
THE FIRST BLACK OBSTETRICIAN 

573
00:24:08,276 --> 00:24:11,412
GYNECOLOGISTS IN CHARLOTTE, 

574
00:24:11,412 --> 00:24:11,980
NORTH CAROLINA.

575
00:24:11,980 --> 00:24:14,983
>> I WAS BORN AND RAISED
IN 

576
00:24:14,983 --> 00:24:15,683
MONTGOMERY COUNTY.

577
00:24:15,683 --> 00:24:21,356
THERE WERE FEW DOCTORS THERE AND

578
00:24:21,356 --> 00:24:25,026
WE WERE NOT HAPPY WITH THE 

579
00:24:25,026 --> 00:24:26,594
SERVICE WE GOT.

580
00:24:26,594 --> 00:24:34,302
SO I LEANED TOWARDS THE MEDICAL 

581
00:24:34,302 --> 00:24:39,107
FIELD AND GOT MY BROTHER TO GO 

582
00:24:39,107 --> 00:24:41,843
INTO IT TOO BUT CHOSE LAW.

583
00:24:41,843 --> 00:24:47,649
>> HE FOUGHT FOR THE
INTEGRATION

584
00:24:47,649 --> 00:24:50,518
FOR THE EDUCATION IN NORTH 

585
00:24:50,518 --> 00:24:52,620
CAROLINA AND PAVED THE WAY FOR 

586
00:24:52,620 --> 00:24:53,388
EQUAL RIGHTS AND OPPORTUNITIES 

587
00:24:53,388 --> 00:24:54,789
FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS.

588
00:24:54,789 --> 00:24:58,326
>> DR. CHAMBERS HAS BEEN A
GIFT.

589
00:24:58,326 --> 00:25:03,598
HE WILL PROBABLY LAUGH WHEN I 

590
00:25:03,598 --> 00:25:05,300
SAY THIS IF HE HEARS THIS AND 

591
00:25:05,300 --> 00:25:06,434
OTHERS WILL QUESTION IT BUT IN 

592
00:25:06,434 --> 00:25:09,837
MANY WAYS HE'S BEEN AN ANGEL.

593
00:25:09,837 --> 00:25:19,514
>> I HAD BUMPS ALONG THE
ROAD.

594
00:25:19,514 --> 00:25:20,548
LOVE EVERYBODY.

595
00:25:20,548 --> 00:25:22,617
BE PREPARED.

596
00:25:22,617 --> 00:25:23,785
CHANGES WILL COME.

597
00:25:23,785 --> 00:25:25,887
THERE BE BUMPS ALONG THE ROAD 

598
00:25:25,887 --> 00:25:30,191
BUT YOU CAN SURVIVE IT.

599
00:25:30,191 --> 00:25:31,626
AND OVERCOME IT.

600
00:25:31,626 --> 00:25:35,129
>> DR. BRENDA ARMSTRONG
WAS ONE 

601
00:25:35,129 --> 00:25:36,564
OF THE FIRST AFRICAN AMERICANS 

602
00:25:36,564 --> 00:25:38,166
TO ATTEND DUKE UNIVERSITY AS 

603
00:25:38,166 --> 00:25:39,300
WELL AS ONE OF THE FIRST BLACK 

604
00:25:39,300 --> 00:25:40,702
PRESIDENTS AT DUKE HOSPITAL.

605
00:25:40,702 --> 00:25:42,570
SHE WAS THE SECOND BLACK WOMAN 

606
00:25:42,570 --> 00:25:43,605
IN THE UNITED STATES TO BECOME 

607
00:25:43,605 --> 00:25:48,009
BOARD CERTIFIED IN PEDIATRIC 

608
00:25:48,009 --> 00:25:49,978
CARDIOLOGY A RENOWNED PHYSICIAN 

609
00:25:49,978 --> 00:25:51,679
DEDICATING HER LIFE TO IMPROVING

610
00:25:51,679 --> 00:25:53,081
HEALTH CARE ACCESS FOR 

611
00:25:53,081 --> 00:25:55,617
MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES AND 

612
00:25:55,617 --> 00:25:58,052
MENTORING FUTURE HEALTH CARE 

613
00:25:58,052 --> 00:25:58,386
PROFESSIONALS.

614
00:25:58,386 --> 00:26:00,188
>> THE FIRST TIME I MET 

615
00:26:00,188 --> 00:26:01,489
DR. BRENDA ARMSTRONG WAS DURING 

616
00:26:01,489 --> 00:26:02,423
OUR ORIENTATION AT MEDICAL 

617
00:26:02,423 --> 00:26:08,162
SCHOOL.

618
00:26:08,162 --> 00:26:11,399
SHE HAD A DINNER FOR ALL THE 

619
00:26:11,399 --> 00:26:12,000
AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS IN 

620
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,568
CLASS AND SHARED WHAT TO EXPECT 

621
00:26:13,568 --> 00:26:15,403
DURING OUR FIRST YEAR OF SCHOOL,

622
00:26:15,403 --> 00:26:17,872
HOI WE WOULD NEED TO STUDY AND 

623
00:26:17,872 --> 00:26:19,574
SUPPORT EACH OTHER AND WHAT WE 

624
00:26:19,574 --> 00:26:24,212
COULD EXPECT DURING THE YEAR.

625
00:26:24,212 --> 00:26:26,347
>> THERE WAS AN INCIDENT
EVEN 

626
00:26:26,347 --> 00:26:28,383
BEFORE MY RESIDENCY THAT IS 

627
00:26:28,383 --> 00:26:30,051
IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO KNOW ABOUT 

628
00:26:30,051 --> 00:26:33,588
WHY I FEEL THE WAY I FEEL ABOUT 

629
00:26:33,588 --> 00:26:35,189
EQUITY FOR EVERYBODY.

630
00:26:35,189 --> 00:26:38,593
IN OUR TOWN WE COULD NOT USE THE

631
00:26:38,593 --> 00:26:39,027
HOSPITAL.

632
00:26:39,027 --> 00:26:42,864
IT WAS CALLED PARKVIEW HOSPITAL.

633
00:26:42,864 --> 00:26:46,401
THOUGH MY FATHER AND UNCLE WAS A

634
00:26:46,401 --> 00:26:48,836
PHYSICIAN WE COULDN'T USE THAT 

635
00:26:48,836 --> 00:26:49,103
HOSPITAL.

636
00:26:49,103 --> 00:26:51,606
MY MOM'S FINAL PREGNANCY WAS A 

637
00:26:51,606 --> 00:26:54,375
BIG PREGNANCY AND MY DAD WENT TO

638
00:26:54,375 --> 00:26:56,511
THE HOSPITAL TO SAY MY MOM WAS 

639
00:26:56,511 --> 00:26:59,814
GOING TO NEED A C-SECTION AND 

640
00:26:59,814 --> 00:27:01,883
COULD SHE PLEASE BE DELIVERED 

641
00:27:01,883 --> 00:27:03,618
THERE AND THEY REFUSED.

642
00:27:03,618 --> 00:27:07,221
SHE WENT INTO LABOR AND THEY 

643
00:27:07,221 --> 00:27:09,190
COULDN'T GET HER TO DUKE HAD 

644
00:27:09,190 --> 00:27:11,592
WHAT WAS CALLED THE COLORED 

645
00:27:11,592 --> 00:27:13,594
WARDS AND THEY WERE AFRAID THAT 

646
00:27:13,594 --> 00:27:18,099
SHE AND/OR THE BABY MAY BE IN 

647
00:27:18,099 --> 00:27:20,835
JEOPARDY SO THEY DELIVERED HER 

648
00:27:20,835 --> 00:27:23,671
AT HOME AND MY BROTHER -- I HAVE

649
00:27:23,671 --> 00:27:28,509
A HARD TIME WITH THIS, MY 

650
00:27:28,509 --> 00:27:36,484
BROTHER SUSTAINED A STROKE 

651
00:27:36,484 --> 00:27:40,054
BECAUSE OF IT AND I WAS YOUNG 

652
00:27:40,054 --> 00:27:42,490
ENOUGH TO KNOW SOMETHING WAS 

653
00:27:42,490 --> 00:27:43,891
GOING ON THAT I COULDN'T FIGURE 

654
00:27:43,891 --> 00:27:46,160
OUT WHY EVERYONE WAS SO WORRIED 

655
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:51,833
AND WHY MY MOM WAS CRYING.

656
00:27:51,833 --> 00:27:52,700
HE SURVIVED.

657
00:27:52,700 --> 00:27:57,672
HE WAS PROBABLY GOING TO BE THE 

658
00:27:57,672 --> 00:28:04,145
MOST BRILLIANT OF THE THREE OF 

659
00:28:04,145 --> 00:28:05,546
US.

660
00:28:05,546 --> 00:28:08,883
THAT MOMENT IS WHY I AM A 

661
00:28:08,883 --> 00:28:09,150
PHYSICIAN.

662
00:28:09,150 --> 00:28:13,054
IT ALSO WAS THE DEFINING MOMENT 

663
00:28:13,054 --> 00:28:16,691
FOR ME ABOUT WHAT DISPARITIES 

664
00:28:16,691 --> 00:28:17,859
REALLY WERE.

665
00:28:17,859 --> 00:28:19,994
>> ANOTHER NORTH CAROLINA 

666
00:28:19,994 --> 00:28:21,829
TRAILBLAZER WAS DR. PAUL A. 

667
00:28:21,829 --> 00:28:22,130
McGILL.

668
00:28:22,130 --> 00:28:24,098
THE FIRST BLACK ORTHODONTIST IN 

669
00:28:24,098 --> 00:28:24,365
CHARLOTTE.

670
00:28:24,365 --> 00:28:27,702
HE WAS DEDICATED TO SERVING 

671
00:28:27,702 --> 00:28:29,837
EVERYONE OFTEN PROVIDING CARE 

672
00:28:29,837 --> 00:28:30,938
WITHOUT CHARGE.

673
00:28:30,938 --> 00:28:33,374
DR. McGILL OVERCAME 

674
00:28:33,374 --> 00:28:35,610
DISCRIMINATION AND ADVERSITY TO 

675
00:28:35,610 --> 00:28:37,979
BECOME A RESPECTED HEALTH CARE 

676
00:28:37,979 --> 00:28:40,615
PROFESSIONAL AND MENTOR FOR 

677
00:28:40,615 --> 00:28:43,050
YOUNG STUDENTS AS SPIRING TO BE 

678
00:28:43,050 --> 00:28:45,853
DENTISTS AND ORTHODONTISTS.

679
00:28:45,853 --> 00:28:47,989
>> HE DIDN'T ALLOW THE
STIGMA 

680
00:28:47,989 --> 00:28:49,991
WHEN GOING TO SCHOOL AND 

681
00:28:49,991 --> 00:28:51,592
GRADUATE SCHOOL AS AN AFRICAN 

682
00:28:51,592 --> 00:28:51,859
AMERICAN.

683
00:28:51,859 --> 00:28:55,229
I BELIEVE GORDON PARKS AND HIS 

684
00:28:55,229 --> 00:29:05,807
BOOK "A CHOICE OF WEAPONS," HE 

685
00:29:06,574 --> 00:29:08,943
SAID HIS MOM TOLD HIM NOT TO BE 

686
00:29:08,943 --> 00:29:12,446
THE STIGMA OF HIS COLOR TO BE A 

687
00:29:12,446 --> 00:29:13,447
BARRIER.

688
00:29:13,447 --> 00:29:16,050
HE DIDN'T ALLOW STIGMA, YOU 

689
00:29:16,050 --> 00:29:17,852
CAN'T DO THAT OR GO THERE.

690
00:29:17,852 --> 00:29:19,987
>> ONE OF THE MAIN GOALS I
HAD 

691
00:29:19,987 --> 00:29:22,156
WHEN I DECIDED TO GO TO DENTAL 

692
00:29:22,156 --> 00:29:25,827
SCHOOL WAS TO COME BACK TO 

693
00:29:25,827 --> 00:29:27,295
CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA TO BE 

694
00:29:27,295 --> 00:29:29,096
AN ORTHODONTIST HERE.

695
00:29:29,096 --> 00:29:34,502
THERE WERE NO BLACK 

696
00:29:34,502 --> 00:29:36,204
ORTHODONTISTS IN CHARLOTTE NIL 

697
00:29:36,204 --> 00:29:37,071
ARRIVED.

698
00:29:37,071 --> 00:29:39,173
I WAS THE FIRST BLACK 

699
00:29:39,173 --> 00:29:40,208
ORTHODONTIST TO COME TO 

700
00:29:40,208 --> 00:29:40,942
CHARLOTTE AND SECOND TO COME TO 

701
00:29:40,942 --> 00:29:46,747
THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA.

702
00:29:46,747 --> 00:29:49,851
IT WAS GOOD FOR ME IN CHARLOTTE 

703
00:29:49,851 --> 00:29:50,618
AND THEREFORE I TALKED TO 

704
00:29:50,618 --> 00:29:50,852
OTHERS.

705
00:29:50,852 --> 00:29:53,254
I HAVE MENTORED STUDENTS FROM 

706
00:29:53,254 --> 00:29:57,258
DAY ONE AFTER I GOT OUT OF 

707
00:29:57,258 --> 00:29:59,393
SCHOOL, I BOUGHT MY FIRST 

708
00:29:59,393 --> 00:30:00,661
PRACTICE WHICH IS ONLY SIX 

709
00:30:00,661 --> 00:30:02,096
MONTHS AFTER I GOT OUT OF 

710
00:30:02,096 --> 00:30:02,363
SCHOOL.

711
00:30:02,363 --> 00:30:04,232
A LOT OF MY ASSISTANTS DECIDED 

712
00:30:04,232 --> 00:30:05,766
FROM JUST MY TALKING WITH THEM 

713
00:30:05,766 --> 00:30:08,102
TO BECOME DENTISTS AND SOME HAD 

714
00:30:08,102 --> 00:30:10,137
MOVED ON TO ORTHODONTISTS.

715
00:30:10,137 --> 00:30:12,907
>> I REMEMBER MEETING DR.
McGILL

716
00:30:12,907 --> 00:30:20,014
RIGHT AS I CAME TO SHORE -- 

717
00:30:20,014 --> 00:30:21,449
CHARLOTTE AND I APPRECIATED HIM 

718
00:30:21,449 --> 00:30:23,017
BEING A MENTOR TO ME.

719
00:30:23,017 --> 00:30:25,453
>> HE GAVE WITH THE SPIRIT
OF 

720
00:30:25,453 --> 00:30:28,956
WARMTH AND SPIRIT OF LOVE AND 

721
00:30:28,956 --> 00:30:31,259
AGAIN A GENTLE GIANT.

722
00:30:31,259 --> 00:30:34,528
HE COULD HUG YOU AND SMILE AND 

723
00:30:34,528 --> 00:30:39,600
TURN HIS HEAD TO THE SIDE AND 

724
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:43,604
SAY THAT WAS HEALING WITHIN 

725
00:30:43,604 --> 00:30:53,748
ITSELF.

726
00:31:12,867 --> 00:31:22,009
>> WELL, GOOD AFTERNOON.

727
00:31:22,009 --> 00:31:25,680
IT'S A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY 

728
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,416
HERE TO TALK WITH YOU REAR 

729
00:31:28,416 --> 00:31:30,685
ADMIRAL DR. MICHAEL JOHNSON AND

734
00:31:43,597 --> 00:31:44,765
YOU ALL ARE TRAILBLAZER 

735
00:31:44,765 --> 00:31:46,701
YOURSELVES BUT I'M WONDERING IF

00:31:55,576 --> 00:31:56,243
TRAILBLAZER MEANT TO YOU OR TO 

738
00:31:56,243 --> 00:32:06,520
THE COMMUNITIES.

739
00:32:06,887 --> 00:32:11,225
>> IT HARKENED BACK TO MY
OWN 

740
00:32:11,225 --> 00:32:14,795
JOURNEY, MENTAL HEALTH AS AN 

741
00:32:14,795 --> 00:32:19,600
INTRICATE PART OF OUR FAMILY 

742
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:20,768
THAT EXISTED.

743
00:32:20,768 --> 00:32:23,504
MY FATHER WHO WAS BORN IN 1935 

744
00:32:23,504 --> 00:32:26,007
SHARED WITH ME AN EXPERIENCE IN 

745
00:32:26,007 --> 00:32:30,945
SCHOOL WHERE A HEALTH CARE 

746
00:32:30,945 --> 00:32:32,146
PROVIDER CAME IN AND 

747
00:32:32,146 --> 00:32:34,248
DEMONSTRATED AND SHARED WITH HIM

748
00:32:34,248 --> 00:32:39,854
HEALTH LITERACY, HOW TO TAKE 

749
00:32:39,854 --> 00:32:42,690
CARE OF YOUR TEETH HOW TO PAY 

750
00:32:42,690 --> 00:32:44,825
ATTENTION TO YOUR BODY AND THAT 

751
00:32:44,825 --> 00:32:49,497
RESONATED WITH MY FATHER.

752
00:32:49,497 --> 00:32:52,099
THROUGHOUT HIS LIFE, THAT 

753
00:32:52,099 --> 00:32:52,800
EXPOSURE INFORMED HIS DECISION 

754
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,468
ABOUT HEALTH.

755
00:32:54,468 --> 00:32:57,138
WHEN I CAME ON AND GREW UP IN 

756
00:32:57,138 --> 00:32:59,440
THE HOUSEHOLD, GOING TO A 

757
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:03,544
DOCTOR, GOING TO A DENTIST WAS 

758
00:33:03,544 --> 00:33:05,813
PART OF OUR EXPERIENCE.

759
00:33:05,813 --> 00:33:08,115
SO, MY EXPOSURE TO A DENTIST AND

760
00:33:08,115 --> 00:33:11,352
A PHYSICIAN ON A REGULAR BASIS, 

761
00:33:11,352 --> 00:33:15,589
ANNUAL CHECKUPS WAS VERY 

762
00:33:15,589 --> 00:33:15,956
POSITIVE.

763
00:33:15,956 --> 00:33:16,991
SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, MY 

764
00:33:16,991 --> 00:33:19,193
FATHER WHO IS NO LONGER WITH US 

765
00:33:19,193 --> 00:33:23,597
AT THE AGE 80, PASSED AWAY WITH 

766
00:33:23,597 --> 00:33:26,300
A FULL COMPLEMENT OF TEETH.

767
00:33:26,300 --> 00:33:29,603
I AM 62 YEARS OF AGE AND I HAVE 

768
00:33:29,603 --> 00:33:34,275
NEVER HAD A CAVITY.

769
00:33:34,275 --> 00:33:36,277
AND JUST THE RESPONSE FROM THE 

770
00:33:36,277 --> 00:33:38,012
AUDIENCE, I SHOULD NOT BE AN 

771
00:33:38,012 --> 00:33:42,817
OUTLIER.

772
00:33:42,817 --> 00:33:43,517
WE KNOW PREVENTION STRATEGIES 

773
00:33:43,517 --> 00:33:43,818
WORK.

774
00:33:43,818 --> 00:33:46,371
THEY'RE EFFECTIVE.

775
00:33:46,371 --> 00:33:47,973
THE PERSON THAT SHOULD BE IN 

776
00:33:47,973 --> 00:33:51,109
THIS CHAIR IS SOMEONE WHO HAS 

777
00:33:51,109 --> 00:33:53,745
CAVITIES AND WE'RE WONDERING AND

778
00:33:53,745 --> 00:33:56,181
SCRATCHING OUR HEAD HOW DID THAT

779
00:33:56,181 --> 00:33:56,748
HAPPEN.

780
00:33:56,748 --> 00:33:59,317
INSTEAD, MY STORY IS UNIQUE.

781
00:33:59,317 --> 00:34:02,454
WHEREAS MY FATHER WHO GREW UP IN

782
00:34:02,454 --> 00:34:05,290
TENNESSEE IN THE RURAL AREA HAD 

783
00:34:05,290 --> 00:34:07,025
ACCESS TO THIS INDIVIDUAL WHO 

784
00:34:07,025 --> 00:34:11,630
CAME INTO THE SCHOOL, PLANTED 

785
00:34:11,630 --> 00:34:13,532
THE SEED AND DIDN'T BENEFIT FROM

786
00:34:13,532 --> 00:34:15,634
THE SHADE FROM THAT TREE.

787
00:34:15,634 --> 00:34:20,806
HE HAD NO IDEA THAT HIS 

788
00:34:20,806 --> 00:34:22,174
INFLUENCE, SOME DAY THE PERSON 

789
00:34:22,174 --> 00:34:24,042
WHO WAS TREATING WOULD SOME DAY 

790
00:34:24,042 --> 00:34:29,614
HAVE A SON THAT'S A DENTIST.

791
00:34:29,614 --> 00:34:31,616
SO IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO 

792
00:34:31,616 --> 00:34:35,353
EMPHASIZE ORAL HEALTH LITERACY, 

793
00:34:35,353 --> 00:34:38,323
HEALTH LITERACY, ENSURE WE HAVE 

794
00:34:38,323 --> 00:34:42,027
A POPULATION OF PROVIDERS THAT 

795
00:34:42,027 --> 00:34:45,230
REPRESENT THE POPULATION SO THEY

796
00:34:45,230 --> 00:34:48,033
SEE THEMSELVES AND LOOKING AT 

797
00:34:48,033 --> 00:34:53,505
THE FILM IT RESONATES WITH ME 

798
00:34:53,505 --> 00:34:57,509
THE IMPORTANCE OF SHARING THE 

799
00:34:57,509 --> 00:34:58,009
MESS

800
00:34:58,009 --> 00:35:00,045
MESSAGE, PUSHING THAT FORWARD 

801
00:35:00,045 --> 00:35:06,051
AND LOOKING BACK TO WHAT WORKS 

802
00:35:06,051 --> 00:35:07,152
AND AMPLIFYING THE MESSAGE.

803
00:35:07,152 --> 00:35:08,753
>> THANK YOU FOR THAT AND
FOR 

804
00:35:08,753 --> 00:35:09,154
THE QUESTION.

805
00:35:09,154 --> 00:35:13,125
THIS RESONATED FOR ME IN SO MANY

806
00:35:13,125 --> 00:35:14,693
WAYS.

807
00:35:14,693 --> 00:35:18,263
MY FAMILY -- MY MOTHER'S FAMILY 

808
00:35:18,263 --> 00:35:21,533
IS ORIGINALLY FROM NORTH 

809
00:35:21,533 --> 00:35:23,802
CAROLINA AND I'VE LIVED IN NORTH

810
00:35:23,802 --> 00:35:24,536
CAROLINA 25 YEARS.

811
00:35:24,536 --> 00:35:26,605
MY SISTER WENT TO A SEGREGATED 

812
00:35:26,605 --> 00:35:30,909
SCHOOL IN NORTH CAROLINA.

813
00:35:30,909 --> 00:35:33,778
WE HAVE A DISTANT COUSIN WHO 

814
00:35:33,778 --> 00:35:35,447
WANTED TO GO TO MEDICAL SCHOOL 

815
00:35:35,447 --> 00:35:38,416
BUT PAID TO GO TO HOWARD BECAUSE

816
00:35:38,416 --> 00:35:40,318
UNC DIDN'T TAKE BLACK PEOPLE 

817
00:35:40,318 --> 00:35:42,154
SPECIFICALLY THAT WAS THE ONLY 

818
00:35:42,154 --> 00:35:45,991
SCHOOL IN THE STATE.

819
00:35:45,991 --> 00:35:48,493
BRENDA ARMSTRONG AT DUKE -- I 

820
00:35:48,493 --> 00:35:50,295
LIVED IN THE RESEARCH TRIANGLE 

821
00:35:50,295 --> 00:35:53,565
PARK AREA AND NOT ONLY DID SHE 

822
00:35:53,565 --> 00:35:55,634
REACH OUT TO THE STUDENTS, SHE 

823
00:35:55,634 --> 00:35:59,638
REACHED OUT TO THE COMMUNITY IN 

824
00:35:59,638 --> 00:36:00,038
A VERY REAL WAY.

825
00:36:00,038 --> 00:36:02,874
SHE AS A PEDIATRIC CARDIOLOGIST 

826
00:36:02,874 --> 00:36:04,743
RECOGNIZED HOW IMPORTANT HEALTH 

827
00:36:04,743 --> 00:36:05,777
WAS TO CHILDREN.

828
00:36:05,777 --> 00:36:08,613
SHE WAS THE PERSON WHO RAN THE 

829
00:36:08,613 --> 00:36:11,283
PROGRAM CALLED DURHAM STRIDERS 

830
00:36:11,283 --> 00:36:16,388
AND SHE DID ALL THE FPHYSICALS 

831
00:36:16,388 --> 00:36:17,989
FOR ALL THE KIDS IN THE RUNNING 

832
00:36:17,989 --> 00:36:20,258
CLUB AND CHECK IN ON THE KIDS 

833
00:36:20,258 --> 00:36:22,227
AND MY SON WAS IN THE CLUB AND 

834
00:36:22,227 --> 00:36:24,963
DID NOT LIKE TO RUN BUT HE DID 

835
00:36:24,963 --> 00:36:30,035
THE SHOT PUT AND SOME OF THE 

836
00:36:30,035 --> 00:36:34,606
WORK ETHIC WAS IMPORTANT FOR HIM

837
00:36:34,606 --> 00:36:36,741
AS HE WENT ON TO PLAY SPORTS AT 

838
00:36:36,741 --> 00:36:37,175
THE COLLEGE LEVEL.

839
00:36:37,175 --> 00:36:39,945
SHE MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN SO

840
00:36:39,945 --> 00:36:50,322
MANY WAYS TO SO MANY.

841
00:37:00,599 --> 00:37:03,368
I THINK THE MESSAGE FROM 

842
00:37:03,368 --> 00:37:05,937
DR. CHAMBERS ABOUT LOVING 

843
00:37:05,937 --> 00:37:07,772
EVERYONE AND BEING PREPARED IS 

844
00:37:07,772 --> 00:37:11,643
THE WAY WE WILL MOVE BEYOND 

845
00:37:11,643 --> 00:37:13,144
THESE DISPARITIES.

846
00:37:13,144 --> 00:37:16,548
MY FAMILY GREW UP NOT BEING ABLE

847
00:37:16,548 --> 00:37:18,416
TO GO TO THE DOCTOR BECAUSE THEY

848
00:37:18,416 --> 00:37:21,853
LIVED OUTSIDE RALEIGH AND 

849
00:37:21,853 --> 00:37:23,521
THERE'S SPECIFIC PLACE THEY CAN 

850
00:37:23,521 --> 00:37:25,223
GO TO THE HOSPITAL OR BE SEEN OR

851
00:37:25,223 --> 00:37:26,958
SCHOOL AND THAT'S HOW I GREW UP.

852
00:37:26,958 --> 00:37:28,793
MY PARENTS MIGRATED UP TO NEW 

853
00:37:28,793 --> 00:37:30,028
YORK SO WE COULD HAVE BETTER 

854
00:37:30,028 --> 00:37:31,930
OPPORTUNITIES AND WHY I WAS BORN

855
00:37:31,930 --> 00:37:32,497
IN NEW YORK.

856
00:37:32,497 --> 00:37:36,034
I CAN GO ON AND ON BUT I WILL 

857
00:37:36,034 --> 00:37:40,338
NOT BUT MANY THINGS RES IN A LOT

858
00:37:40,639 --> 00:37:42,173
 -- RESONATED FOR ME IN THE 

859
00:37:42,173 --> 00:37:42,440
FILM.

860
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,576
>> ONE OF THE THINGS WE
WANT TO 

861
00:37:44,576 --> 00:37:47,879
TALK ABOUT IS HEALTH EQUITY AND 

862
00:37:47,879 --> 00:37:49,581
REALLY SPECIFICALLY DENTAL, 

863
00:37:49,581 --> 00:37:52,183
EQUITY AND DENTAL CARE AND 

864
00:37:52,183 --> 00:37:54,252
ACCESS TO CARE.

865
00:37:54,252 --> 00:37:56,288
SO CAN YOU TELL US WHO ARE HERE 

866
00:37:56,288 --> 00:38:00,258
AND ALSO FOR THOSE WHO ARE PART 

867
00:38:00,258 --> 00:38:04,496
OF OUR VIRTUAL AUDIENCE WHAT YOU

868
00:38:04,496 --> 00:38:05,530
ARE DOING AND YOUR ORGANIZATIONS

869
00:38:05,530 --> 00:38:08,066
OR AGENCIES ARE DOING TO HELP US

870
00:38:08,066 --> 00:38:09,234
ACHIEVE HEALTH EQUITY OR DENTAL 

871
00:38:09,234 --> 00:38:17,442
HEALTH EQUITY?

872
00:38:17,442 --> 00:38:21,546
>> I TWO ROLES.

873
00:38:21,546 --> 00:38:26,151
I'M THE NATIONAL CHIEF FOR THE 

874
00:38:26,151 --> 00:38:27,919
FEDERAL BUREAU OF PRISONS I'VE 

875
00:38:27,919 --> 00:38:33,058
BEEN IN THAT ROLE FOR THREE 

876
00:38:33,058 --> 00:38:33,925
YEARS.

877
00:38:33,925 --> 00:38:35,493
RECOGNIZING THE POPULATION WE 

878
00:38:35,493 --> 00:38:40,465
SERVE, ADULTS IN CUSTODY COME 

879
00:38:40,465 --> 00:38:41,599
FROM DISADVANTAGED HOMES AND 

880
00:38:41,599 --> 00:38:43,168
HAVE UNMET NEEDS.

881
00:38:43,168 --> 00:38:47,472
AS A DECISION MAKER, I AM 

882
00:38:47,472 --> 00:38:52,711
FOCUSSED AT LOOKING AT SYSTEMS 

883
00:38:52,711 --> 00:38:57,148
WHERE WE COULD PROVIDE THE 

884
00:38:57,148 --> 00:38:58,416
SERVICES TO THE PATIENT AND 

885
00:38:58,416 --> 00:39:00,685
PROVIDE THEM TO THE COMMUNITY 

886
00:39:00,685 --> 00:39:02,954
WITH ALL THEIR DENTAL NEEDS MET.

887
00:39:02,954 --> 00:39:05,657
OUR MISSION IS TO REHABILITATE 

888
00:39:05,657 --> 00:39:07,492
ADULTS IN CUSTODY AT SOME POINT 

889
00:39:07,492 --> 00:39:09,761
ARE GOING TO GO BACK TO THE 

890
00:39:09,761 --> 00:39:10,395
COMMUNITY AND THEY'RE GOING TO 

891
00:39:10,395 --> 00:39:14,065
BE OUR NEIGHBORS AND WHAT WE 

892
00:39:14,065 --> 00:39:16,634
NEED AND WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS TO 

893
00:39:16,634 --> 00:39:20,305
ASSURE THAT THE COMMUNITY IS NOT

894
00:39:20,305 --> 00:39:22,140
DRAINED WITH TRYING TO PROVIDE 

895
00:39:22,140 --> 00:39:25,677
EMERGENCY SERVICES OF CARE TO A 

896
00:39:25,677 --> 00:39:26,878
POPULATION THAT HAS BEEN 

897
00:39:26,878 --> 00:39:29,114
INCARCERATED.

898
00:39:29,114 --> 00:39:31,649
SO MY GOAL IS TO FIND THE 

899
00:39:31,649 --> 00:39:34,686
RESOURCES TO ENSURE THAT WE 

900
00:39:34,686 --> 00:39:36,654
ADDRESS THE UNMET NEEDS OF THOSE

901
00:39:36,654 --> 00:39:37,922
INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE COME TO US

902
00:39:37,922 --> 00:39:40,625
AND ENSURE THEY GO BACK INTO THE

903
00:39:40,625 --> 00:39:41,726
COMMUNITY WITH THOSE NEEDS MET 

904
00:39:41,726 --> 00:39:45,029
AND NOT DRAIN THE COMMUNITY.

905
00:39:45,029 --> 00:39:50,568
SO WE ARE GOOD NEIGHBORS.

906
00:39:50,568 --> 00:39:51,302
THAT'S ONE PIECE.

907
00:39:51,302 --> 00:39:54,839
>> YOU SAID BEFORE I MOVE
ON, 

908
00:39:54,839 --> 00:39:55,640
YOU SAID YOU HAVE TWO ROLES.

909
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:59,244
>> I DO.

910
00:39:59,244 --> 00:40:01,579
THE OTHER ROLE IS WE HAVE A 

911
00:40:01,579 --> 00:40:06,217
NUMBER OF STUDIES THAT HAVE BEEN

912
00:40:06,217 --> 00:40:07,085
PUBLISHED AND ISSUED.

913
00:40:07,085 --> 00:40:11,189
WHAT WE DON'T HAVE IS A NATIONAL

914
00:40:11,189 --> 00:40:12,056
STRATEGY SO

915
00:40:12,056 --> 00:40:16,594
IT IS MY GOAL DID, IT IS OUR 

916
00:40:16,594 --> 00:40:19,597
GOAL TO PUT THIS ON THE 

917
00:40:19,597 --> 00:40:20,632
FOREFRONT ESPECIALLY -- I 

918
00:40:20,632 --> 00:40:22,734
BELIEVE THIS IS A GREAT 

919
00:40:22,734 --> 00:40:24,102
OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE THE 

920
00:40:24,102 --> 00:40:30,141
ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF HEALTH, 

921
00:40:30,141 --> 00:40:32,410
ADMIRAL LAVIGNE AND THE WHITE 

922
00:40:32,410 --> 00:40:33,945
HOUSE HAS ORAL HEALTH ON THEIR 

923
00:40:33,945 --> 00:40:34,145
RADAR.

924
00:40:34,145 --> 00:40:38,383
WE'RE LOOKING AT AVENUES WE 

925
00:40:38,383 --> 00:40:40,685
COULD ALIGN AND PULL BACK 

926
00:40:40,685 --> 00:40:46,624
TOGETHER AND IDENTIFY AGAIN 

927
00:40:46,624 --> 00:40:48,059
PREVENTIVE STRATEGIES AS WELL AS

928
00:40:48,059 --> 00:40:50,462
TACKLE -- BECAUSE HEALTH 

929
00:40:50,462 --> 00:40:52,931
DISPARITY STILL REMAINS A 

930
00:40:52,931 --> 00:40:57,135
CHALLENGE FOR SOME GROUP 

931
00:40:57,135 --> 00:40:57,435
POPULATIONS.

932
00:40:57,435 --> 00:40:59,404
WHY IS THAT?

933
00:40:59,404 --> 00:41:00,872
LET'S PUT FORWARD A NATIONAL 

934
00:41:00,872 --> 00:41:02,273
STRATEGY SIMILAR TO THE 

935
00:41:02,273 --> 00:41:04,809
NUTRITION STRATEGY.

936
00:41:04,809 --> 00:41:06,811
THAT IS TOP PRIORITY AS A 

937
00:41:06,811 --> 00:41:08,680
NATIONAL CHIEF DENTIST TO BE 

938
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:09,647
ABLE TO SHARE THAT INFORMATION 

939
00:41:09,647 --> 00:41:11,115
WITH THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF 

940
00:41:11,115 --> 00:41:15,053
HEALTH BECAUSE THAT'S MY ROLE IS

941
00:41:15,053 --> 00:41:16,621
TO PROVIDE THAT EXPERTISE.

942
00:41:16,621 --> 00:41:18,089
THE SURGEON GENERAL CAN GO AND 

943
00:41:18,089 --> 00:41:19,057
SPEAK TO THE POPULATION AND MAKE

944
00:41:19,057 --> 00:41:21,593
THAT ONE OF HIS PRIORITIES.

945
00:41:21,593 --> 00:41:23,027
THAT'S MY GOAL.

946
00:41:23,027 --> 00:41:24,729
>> AND TOWARD THAT END
BEFORE I 

947
00:41:24,729 --> 00:41:27,298
GO INTO EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE 

948
00:41:27,298 --> 00:41:28,867
DOING, NIDCR IS WORKING TOGETHER

949
00:41:28,867 --> 00:41:30,568
WITH THE ORAL HEALTH 

950
00:41:30,568 --> 00:41:31,636
COORDINATING COMMITTEE AND REAR 

951
00:41:31,636 --> 00:41:33,671
ADMIRAL JOHNSON TO MOVE FORWARD 

952
00:41:33,671 --> 00:41:36,241
WITH AN ACTION ORIENTED REPORT 

953
00:41:36,241 --> 00:41:39,644
BY THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES 

954
00:41:39,644 --> 00:41:42,046
TOGETHER WITH MOVING FORWARD 

955
00:41:42,046 --> 00:41:47,051
WITH A NATIONAL STRATEGIC 

956
00:41:47,051 --> 00:41:48,052
FRAMEWORK AND THEN BRINGING 

957
00:41:48,052 --> 00:41:50,355
TOGETHER THE STRENGTHS OF EACH 

958
00:41:50,355 --> 00:41:52,490
OF THE AGENCIES TO HELP MOVE 

959
00:41:52,490 --> 00:41:54,058
THINGS FORWARD.

960
00:41:54,058 --> 00:41:57,862
WHAT ARE WE DOING AT NIDCR.

961
00:41:57,862 --> 00:42:02,567
OUR GOAL IS ORAL HEALTH.

962
00:42:02,567 --> 00:42:04,269
WE HEARD FROM DR. D'SOUZA.

963
00:42:04,269 --> 00:42:06,271
THE QUESTION IS HOW DO WE GET 

964
00:42:06,271 --> 00:42:06,538
THERE?

965
00:42:06,538 --> 00:42:08,606
WE HAVE TO HAVE THE EVIDENCE TO 

966
00:42:08,606 --> 00:42:12,510
DRIVE THE POLICIES.

967
00:42:12,510 --> 00:42:13,645
SO, AS A RESEARCH INSTITUTE WE 

968
00:42:13,645 --> 00:42:18,583
NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S 

969
00:42:18,583 --> 00:42:21,619
HAPPENING AND THERE'S MULTIPLE 

970
00:42:21,619 --> 00:42:21,753
S.

971
00:42:21,753 --> 00:42:23,354
WE NEED THE WORKFORCE IN PLACE 

972
00:42:23,354 --> 00:42:26,324
AND MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE 

973
00:42:26,324 --> 00:42:27,292
DEMOGRAPHIC IN OUR WORKFORCE 

974
00:42:27,292 --> 00:42:28,159
THAT REFLECTS THE UNITED STATES 

975
00:42:28,159 --> 00:42:29,127
OF AMERICA.

976
00:42:29,127 --> 00:42:31,629
SO WE'RE WORKING VERY HARD ON 

977
00:42:31,629 --> 00:42:35,099
THAT WITH MULTIPLE PARTNERS 

978
00:42:35,099 --> 00:42:36,701
INCLUDING THOSE AT THE NATIONAL 

979
00:42:36,701 --> 00:42:38,970
LEVEL, THE AMERICAN DENTAL 

980
00:42:38,970 --> 00:42:40,505
ASSOCIATION AND DENTAL EDUCATORS

981
00:42:40,505 --> 00:42:45,843
GROUP AND NATIONAL DENTAL 

982
00:42:45,843 --> 00:42:50,615
ASSOCIATION -- THE HISPANIC 

983
00:42:50,615 --> 00:42:51,649
DENTAL ASSOCIATION, SOCIETY OF 

984
00:42:51,649 --> 00:42:53,484
AMERICAN INDIAN DENTISTS AND AAP

985
00:42:53,484 --> 00:42:56,321
AND OTHERS TO WORK TOWARDS THE 

986
00:42:56,321 --> 00:42:56,554
PATHWAY.

987
00:42:56,554 --> 00:42:59,190
THERE'S MULTIPLE INITIATIVES 

988
00:42:59,190 --> 00:43:02,560
TARGETED TO PEOPLE OF COLOR AND 

989
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:03,061
DIVERSE INDIVIDUALS.

990
00:43:03,061 --> 00:43:05,129
PEOPLE COMING FROM DIVERSE 

991
00:43:05,129 --> 00:43:08,032
BACKGROUNDS AND LOW S.E.S. TO 

992
00:43:08,032 --> 00:43:09,300
MAKE SURE THE WORKFORCE IS 

993
00:43:09,300 --> 00:43:19,811
BUILDING FORWARD AND BUILDING 

994
00:43:21,012 --> 00:43:22,880
PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERS AND WE 

995
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:24,082
KNOW WHAT WORKS AND HAVE TO GET 

996
00:43:24,082 --> 00:43:26,217
BEYOND OUR COMMUNITIES AND KNOW 

997
00:43:26,217 --> 00:43:27,619
PEOPLE DON'T EXPERIENCE DENTAL 

998
00:43:27,619 --> 00:43:28,886
DISEASE IN SILO.

999
00:43:28,886 --> 00:43:31,189
IT'S OFTEN ACCOMPANIED BY OTHER 

1000
00:43:31,189 --> 00:43:32,156
SYSTEMIC ILLNESSES.

1001
00:43:32,156 --> 00:43:35,560
WE NEED TO PARTNER AND THERE'S A

1002
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:39,631
COUPLE OF NOSIs ON THE STREETS 

1003
00:43:39,631 --> 00:43:41,866
OR NOTICES OF SPECIAL INTERESTS 

1004
00:43:41,866 --> 00:43:42,834
BEING DEVELOPED.

1005
00:43:42,834 --> 00:43:45,970
THERE'S A CONCEPT RECENTLY 

1006
00:43:45,970 --> 00:43:47,639
CLEARED CALLED ADAPT E.Q. 

1007
00:43:47,639 --> 00:43:51,476
UTILIZING DATA AND DATA SCIENCE 

1008
00:43:51,476 --> 00:43:53,378
WE HEARD FROM DR. D'SOUZA 

1009
00:43:53,378 --> 00:43:54,946
EARLIER AND HOW CAN WE USE THE 

1010
00:43:54,946 --> 00:44:02,720
DATA TO HELP MOVE THINGS FORWARD

1011
00:44:02,720 --> 00:44:05,189
CARES AND HEALTH EQUITY AND 

1012
00:44:05,189 --> 00:44:06,891
WORKING WITH THE NATIONAL 

1013
00:44:06,891 --> 00:44:08,559
INSTITUTE OF DISPARITIES IN THAT

1014
00:44:08,559 --> 00:44:09,293
EFFORT.

1015
00:44:09,293 --> 00:44:13,531
MAY BE AWARE THE UNITED STATES 

1016
00:44:13,531 --> 00:44:20,071
PUBLIC HEALTH TASK FORCE, USPTF 

1017
00:44:20,071 --> 00:44:24,075
SHARED LAST MAY THAT PRIMARY 

1018
00:44:24,075 --> 00:44:25,610
CARE PROVIDERS THE EVIDENCE DID 

1019
00:44:25,610 --> 00:44:27,512
NOT EXIST SUCH THAT THE PRIMARY 

1020
00:44:27,512 --> 00:44:31,649
CARE PROVIDERS, MEDICAL, COULD 

1021
00:44:31,649 --> 00:44:35,019
PROVIDER ORAL EXAMINATIONS OR 

1022
00:44:35,019 --> 00:44:37,855
PREVENTATIVE SERVICES.

1023
00:44:37,855 --> 00:44:42,026
WE NEED TO MOVE THAT FORWARD IN 

1024
00:44:42,026 --> 00:44:50,101
AGES 5-17 AND ADULTS THROUGHOUT 

1025
00:44:50,101 --> 00:44:52,503
THE LIFE SPAN AND PLAN A STUDY 

1026
00:44:52,503 --> 00:44:54,072
AT CO-LOCATED SITES ACROSS THE 

1027
00:44:54,072 --> 00:44:59,644
KOVENLTRY  -- COUNTRY ALIGNED 

1028
00:44:59,644 --> 00:45:03,614
WITH PRISONS AND FEDERALLY 

1029
00:45:03,614 --> 00:45:06,117
QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTERS WHERE 

1030
00:45:06,117 --> 00:45:07,752
THEY'RE LOCATED AND DEMONSTRATE 

1031
00:45:07,752 --> 00:45:11,856
IN A STUDY THAT'S NATIONAL WHERE

1032
00:45:11,856 --> 00:45:14,859
WE HAVE OVER REPRESENTED 

1033
00:45:14,859 --> 00:45:15,727
VULNERABLE POPULATIONS IF WE 

1034
00:45:15,727 --> 00:45:17,562
TEACH INTERVENTIONS TO THE 

1035
00:45:17,562 --> 00:45:19,697
MEDICAL AND DENTAL AND THERE'S 

1036
00:45:19,697 --> 00:45:23,134
REFERRAL FOR COMPREHENSIVE CARE 

1037
00:45:23,134 --> 00:45:25,236
FOR DENTISTRY, WHAT DIFFERENCE 

1038
00:45:25,236 --> 00:45:26,537
DOES IT MAKE TO THEIR OVER ALL 

1039
00:45:26,537 --> 00:45:27,538
HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE AND 

1040
00:45:27,538 --> 00:45:33,344
SOCIETY IN TERMS OF COST?

1041
00:45:33,344 --> 00:45:35,379
BECAUSE I CAN BET YOU -- BUT 

1042
00:45:35,379 --> 00:45:37,915
LET'S DO THE STUDY FIRST BUT 

1043
00:45:37,915 --> 00:45:41,052
IT'S LIKELY THE IMPACT WILL BE 

1044
00:45:41,052 --> 00:45:43,020
SIGNIFICANT WORKING WITH OTHER 

1045
00:45:43,020 --> 00:45:44,789
INSTITUTES IN AGING, CHILD 

1046
00:45:44,789 --> 00:45:51,129
HEALTH AND DIABETES AND OTHER 

1047
00:45:51,129 --> 00:45:52,563
INSTITUTES THERE IS A SHARED 

1048
00:45:52,563 --> 00:45:54,966
INTEREST OF THE IMPORTANCE OF 

1049
00:45:54,966 --> 00:45:56,968
ORAL HEALTH AND MANY OTHER 

1050
00:45:56,968 --> 00:45:59,837
INSTITUTES AS WELL AND HOW IT 

1051
00:45:59,837 --> 00:46:02,240
IMPACTS OVER ALL HEALTH AND HOW 

1052
00:46:02,240 --> 00:46:07,612
ORAL HEALTH IS A POTENTIAL 

1053
00:46:07,612 --> 00:46:08,346
MODIFIABLE RISK FACTOR.

1054
00:46:08,346 --> 00:46:10,648
YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO AND I THINK 

1055
00:46:10,648 --> 00:46:12,049
YOU SHARED NORTH CAROLINA 

1056
00:46:12,049 --> 00:46:14,619
THERE'S MANY UNDER SERVED S 

1057
00:46:14,619 --> 00:46:16,354
THROUGHOUT THE STATE IN TERMS OF

1058
00:46:16,354 --> 00:46:20,858
THE RATIO WE'RE IN THE 40s.

1059
00:46:20,858 --> 00:46:22,426
SO THERE'S MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO

1060
00:46:22,426 --> 00:46:24,595
DO OUTREACH LIKE THE MOM'S 

1061
00:46:24,595 --> 00:46:25,963
CLINICS AND A REMEMBER YOU 

1062
00:46:25,963 --> 00:46:28,099
SHARING THE DENTAL MOM'S 

1063
00:46:28,099 --> 00:46:29,934
CLINICS, THE PLACES WHERE YOU 

1064
00:46:29,934 --> 00:46:33,371
SAW THE MOST MEDICAL DISEASE, 

1065
00:46:33,371 --> 00:46:35,506
RIGHT.

1066
00:46:35,506 --> 00:46:36,107
SO THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT 

1067
00:46:36,107 --> 00:46:38,476
OPPORTUNITIES TO WORK TOGETHER 

1068
00:46:38,476 --> 00:46:39,944
SO OUR RESEARCH FOCUSSED ON 

1069
00:46:39,944 --> 00:46:40,678
MEDICAL-DENTAL INTEGRATION IN 

1070
00:46:40,678 --> 00:46:43,214
THE CONTEXT OF DISPARITIES WE 

1071
00:46:43,214 --> 00:46:44,248
HOPE WILL MAKE THINGS MOVE 

1072
00:46:44,248 --> 00:46:47,018
FORWARD BUT ALSO THE IMPORTANCE 

1073
00:46:47,018 --> 00:46:51,155
OF PREVENTION AND MOVING TOWARDS

1074
00:46:51,155 --> 00:46:56,127
A RESTORATION FREE SITUATION 

1075
00:46:56,127 --> 00:46:58,296
VERSUS WHILE WE ALSO WORK ON 

1076
00:46:58,296 --> 00:47:00,097
WHAT ARE THE BEST NEXT MATERIALS

1077
00:47:00,097 --> 00:47:01,699
BUT REALLY TRYING TO MOVE 

1078
00:47:01,699 --> 00:47:03,034
FORWARD WITH PREVENTION.

1079
00:47:03,034 --> 00:47:06,170
SO THERE'S A LOT OF GOING ON IN 

1080
00:47:06,170 --> 00:47:08,773
THE PORTFOLIO TARGETED TO MANY 

1081
00:47:08,773 --> 00:47:09,640
DIFFERENT GROUPS, NATIVE 

1082
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:13,077
AMERICANS AND ALASKANS AND 

1083
00:47:13,077 --> 00:47:14,378
HISPANIC AND AFRICAN AMERICANS 

1084
00:47:14,378 --> 00:47:16,047
AND LOW S.E.S.

1085
00:47:16,047 --> 00:47:18,716
LOTS INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS ONGOING

1086
00:47:18,716 --> 00:47:19,784
AND LARGER EFFORTS WITH OUR 

1087
00:47:19,784 --> 00:47:21,319
FEDERAL PARTNERS AND OTHER 

1088
00:47:21,319 --> 00:47:23,721
INSTITUTES.

1089
00:47:23,721 --> 00:47:25,423
I'LL STOP THERE.

1090
00:47:25,423 --> 00:47:29,227
>> SO, YOU'VE BOTH
MENTIONED 

1091
00:47:29,227 --> 00:47:31,829
SOME THINGS I'M QUITE FAMILIAR 

1092
00:47:31,829 --> 00:47:32,096
WITH.

1093
00:47:32,096 --> 00:47:34,232
ONE IS THE CHALLENGE OF 

1094
00:47:34,232 --> 00:47:36,667
TRANSLATING WHAT WE FIND IN 

1095
00:47:36,667 --> 00:47:38,236
RESEARCH INTO ACTUAL CLINICAL 

1096
00:47:38,236 --> 00:47:39,070
PRACTICE.

1097
00:47:39,070 --> 00:47:40,071
I THINK THAT'S ACROSS THE BOARD 

1098
00:47:40,071 --> 00:47:43,207
IN MEDICINE AND IN DENTISTRY.

1099
00:47:43,207 --> 00:47:44,842
AND IT'S VERY UNFORTUNATE 

1100
00:47:44,842 --> 00:47:47,678
BECAUSE WE OFTEN WILL KNOW WHAT 

1101
00:47:47,678 --> 00:47:51,349
TYPES OF THINGS WILL HELP TO 

1102
00:47:51,349 --> 00:47:55,653
IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES BUT 

1103
00:47:55,653 --> 00:47:57,555
THERE ARE JUST GAPS BETWEEN THE 

1104
00:47:57,555 --> 00:47:59,657
RESEARCH FINDINGS AND INTO 

1105
00:47:59,657 --> 00:48:00,124
CLINICAL PRACTICE.

1106
00:48:00,124 --> 00:48:04,395
AND SO WITH THAT, LET ME ASK YOU

1107
00:48:04,395 --> 00:48:07,265
ABOUT THE COMMUNITY 

1108
00:48:07,265 --> 00:48:09,667
ORGANIZATIONS FIRST OF ALL YOU 

1109
00:48:09,667 --> 00:48:11,202
ARE TARGETING MAYBE OR WHAT 

1110
00:48:11,202 --> 00:48:14,071
WOULD BE THE STRATEGY FOR 

1111
00:48:14,071 --> 00:48:16,607
TARGETING SOME OF THE LEADERS 

1112
00:48:16,607 --> 00:48:18,042
OUT THERE IN THE COMMUNITY.

1113
00:48:18,042 --> 00:48:20,878
PART OF PREPARATION FOR THIS 

1114
00:48:20,878 --> 00:48:22,880
DISCUSSION TODAY I WAS READING 

1115
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:24,115
THROUGH SOME INFORMATION SOME 

1116
00:48:24,115 --> 00:48:25,616
ARTICLES AND I FOUND ONE THAT 

1117
00:48:25,616 --> 00:48:28,319
THERE WAS A REPORT THAT WAS 

1118
00:48:28,319 --> 00:48:31,656
PRODUCED BY THE SULLIVAN 

1119
00:48:31,656 --> 00:48:34,692
COMMISSION I BELIEVE IN 2022 ON 

1120
00:48:34,692 --> 00:48:35,526
DISPARITIES.

1121
00:48:35,526 --> 00:48:36,160
IT'S INTERESTING.

1122
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:37,962
I'M FROM CHICAGO AND THEY 

1123
00:48:37,962 --> 00:48:39,664
MENTIONED A PROJECT BROTHERHOOD 

1124
00:48:39,664 --> 00:48:41,832
OF CHICAGO THAT I BELIEVE WAS 

1125
00:48:41,832 --> 00:48:47,338
LED BY THE 100 BLACK MEN THERE 

1126
00:48:47,338 --> 00:48:51,676
AND THEY ACTUALLY SURVEYED THE 

1127
00:48:51,676 --> 00:48:55,913
ORGANIZATION OF COLLEGE 

1128
00:48:55,913 --> 00:49:00,418
GRADUATED BLACK MEN AND SURVEYED

1129
00:49:00,418 --> 00:49:02,420
THEM ABOUT THEIR ATTITUDES OR 

1130
00:49:02,420 --> 00:49:04,121
CONCERNS ABOUT ACCESS TO CARE.

1131
00:49:04,121 --> 00:49:05,256
THEY USED THAT INFORMATION TO 

1132
00:49:05,256 --> 00:49:07,959
INFORM A PILOT STUDY THEN DONE 

1133
00:49:07,959 --> 00:49:09,527
IN ATLANTA, WHICH I ALSO LIVED 

1134
00:49:09,527 --> 00:49:10,828
IN AT ONE POINT.

1135
00:49:10,828 --> 00:49:13,965
SO I FOUND IT VERY INTERESTING 

1136
00:49:13,965 --> 00:49:19,403
TO SEE HOW THERE'S OPPORTUNITY 

1137
00:49:19,403 --> 00:49:29,180
OR EVEN SOME PRECEDENT FOR A 

1138
00:49:29,180 --> 00:49:33,150
THOUGHT LEADER ORGANIZATION AND 

1139
00:49:33,150 --> 00:49:34,986
USING THAT TO INFORM PROJECTS OR

1140
00:49:34,986 --> 00:49:36,721
INITIATED IN UNDER SERVED 

1141
00:49:36,721 --> 00:49:38,389
COMMUNITIES AND I'M WONDERING, 

1142
00:49:38,389 --> 00:49:43,961
ONE, IS THAT SOMETHING ON THE 

1143
00:49:43,961 --> 00:49:51,602
RADAR AND THEN THERE ARE 

1144
00:49:51,602 --> 00:49:53,204
COMMUNITIES I HOPE ARE LISTENING

1145
00:49:53,204 --> 00:49:54,538
TODAY AND WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND 

1146
00:49:54,538 --> 00:49:55,506
FOR THE ORGANIZATIONS THROUGHOUT

1147
00:49:55,506 --> 00:49:58,009
AND TRUSTED ENTITIES IN THE 

1148
00:49:58,009 --> 00:49:58,309
COMMUNITIES.

1149
00:49:58,309 --> 00:50:01,012
HOW CAN THEY FIND OUT MORE ABOUT

1150
00:50:01,012 --> 00:50:04,682
WHAT THESE INITIATIVES ARE AND 

1151
00:50:04,682 --> 00:50:05,583
MAYBE WORKING WITH YOU.

1152
00:50:05,583 --> 00:50:08,552
I'LL ASK BOTH OF YOU THAT.

1153
00:50:08,552 --> 00:50:11,655
>> SO THERE ARE
COMMUNITY-BASED 

1154
00:50:11,655 --> 00:50:12,123
PARTICIPATORY EFFORTS.

1155
00:50:12,123 --> 00:50:16,494
SOME SPECIFIC TO DENTISTRY AND 

1156
00:50:16,494 --> 00:50:19,663
NIDCR AND THAT'S INCLUDING THE 

1157
00:50:19,663 --> 00:50:25,202
ADAPT EQ AND AS PART OF COVID 

1158
00:50:25,202 --> 00:50:31,575
THERE, WAS AN EFFORT CALLED CELE

1159
00:50:31,575 --> 00:50:37,715
WHICH TARGET ED FAITH-BASED 

1160
00:50:37,715 --> 00:50:39,016
ORGANIZATIONS AND CHURCHES AND 

1161
00:50:39,016 --> 00:50:39,984
ORGANIZATIONS TO HELP WITH 

1162
00:50:39,984 --> 00:50:42,086
UPTAKE OF THE VACCINE AND 

1163
00:50:42,086 --> 00:50:43,120
COMMUNITY EMBRACING THE SCIENCE.

1164
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:47,658
WE'RE HOPING WE CAN UTILIZE SOME

1165
00:50:47,658 --> 00:50:48,793
OF THESE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE

1166
00:50:48,793 --> 00:50:50,828
IN ORDER TO MOVE THINGS FORWARD 

1167
00:50:50,828 --> 00:50:54,165
BUT WE REALLY WANT TO HEAR FROM 

1168
00:50:54,165 --> 00:50:55,032
THE COMMUNITY AND THERE ARE 

1169
00:50:55,032 --> 00:50:59,670
CERTAINLY AND RIGHT NOW WE HAVE 

1170
00:50:59,670 --> 00:51:01,305
A CONCEPT FOCUSSED ON 

1171
00:51:01,305 --> 00:51:02,306
COMMUNITY-BASED RESEARCH.

1172
00:51:02,306 --> 00:51:03,474
IF COMMUNITY INTERESTED, THEY 

1173
00:51:03,474 --> 00:51:07,278
CAN APPLY FOR THESE GRANTS.

1174
00:51:07,278 --> 00:51:10,414
THESE ARE LONGER PROJECTS AND 

1175
00:51:10,414 --> 00:51:12,149
WHAT'S BEAUTIFUL IS THAT THE 

1176
00:51:12,149 --> 00:51:14,552
RESEARCH BEGINS WITH THE 

1177
00:51:14,552 --> 00:51:18,923
COMMUNITY AND IT'S VOICE.

1178
00:51:18,923 --> 00:51:20,257
THEN IT GOES INTO BRINGING 

1179
00:51:20,257 --> 00:51:23,494
RESEARCHERS IN TO HELP THEM 

1180
00:51:23,494 --> 00:51:25,463
ANSWER THE QUESTION.

1181
00:51:25,463 --> 00:51:29,900
THEN MOVES TO HOW WE'LL 

1182
00:51:29,900 --> 00:51:31,669
IMPLEMENT AND DISSEMINATE THIS 

1183
00:51:31,669 --> 00:51:32,736
AND STARTS AND STOPS WITH THE 

1184
00:51:32,736 --> 00:51:34,138
COMMUNITY AND THEY'RE DRIVING 

1185
00:51:34,138 --> 00:51:35,439
THE RESEARCH.

1186
00:51:35,439 --> 00:51:38,109
ENSURING THAT WE'RE GETTING THAT

1187
00:51:38,109 --> 00:51:39,477
BUY-IN, HEARING FROM PEOPLE 

1188
00:51:39,477 --> 00:51:40,845
AROUND ORAL HEALTH AND WHAT'S 

1189
00:51:40,845 --> 00:51:41,712
HAPPENING IN THEIR COMMUNITIES 

1190
00:51:41,712 --> 00:51:43,414
AND HOW TO ENSURE THEY'RE 

1191
00:51:43,414 --> 00:51:44,882
ENGAGED AT THE TABLE IS 

1192
00:51:44,882 --> 00:51:46,383
IMPORTANT AND THERE ARE NOW 

1193
00:51:46,383 --> 00:51:48,519
MECHANISMS IN ORDER TO DO THAT.

1194
00:51:48,519 --> 00:51:51,655
SO WE'RE HOPING WE CAN DO THIS 

1195
00:51:51,655 --> 00:51:54,925
AT TWO LEVELS WITHIN OUR EFFORTS

1196
00:51:54,925 --> 00:51:57,628
HAPPENING DIRECTLY AT NIDCR BUT 

1197
00:51:57,628 --> 00:52:00,464
ALSO PARTNERING WITH THESE OTHER

1198
00:52:00,464 --> 00:52:02,466
NETWORKS AND INFRASTRUCTURE SO 

1199
00:52:02,466 --> 00:52:03,868
CELE IS ONE EXAMPLE.

1200
00:52:03,868 --> 00:52:06,137
THERE'S ANOTHER PRACTICE-BASED 

1201
00:52:06,137 --> 00:52:09,573
NETWORK THAT'S ONGOING THAT IS 

1202
00:52:09,573 --> 00:52:11,675
ASSOCIATED WITH RCMI AND THE 

1203
00:52:11,675 --> 00:52:13,410
FINAL THING -- NOT THE FINAL BUT

1204
00:52:13,410 --> 00:52:15,980
ONE ADDITIONAL THING WE HAVE SAY

1205
00:52:15,980 --> 00:52:17,948
BRAND NEW PRACTICE-BASED NETWORK

1206
00:52:17,948 --> 00:52:18,949
CALLED PRIMED.

1207
00:52:18,949 --> 00:52:21,085
IT'S LOCATED AT DENTAL SCHOOLS.

1208
00:52:21,085 --> 00:52:25,055
THERE WERE 10 AWARDEES FROM 

1209
00:52:25,055 --> 00:52:25,923
ACROSS THE WHOLE NATION.

1210
00:52:25,923 --> 00:52:28,192
WHAT'S EXCITING ABOUT THIS IS 

1211
00:52:28,192 --> 00:52:29,193
THEY'RE ALL COLLABORATING.

1212
00:52:29,193 --> 00:52:31,328
THEY'RE ALL COLLABORATING WITH 

1213
00:52:31,328 --> 00:52:33,330
CTSAs THAT HELP WITH CLINICAL 

1214
00:52:33,330 --> 00:52:35,466
TRIALS AND THEY ALL HAVE OTHER 

1215
00:52:35,466 --> 00:52:37,134
PARTNERS SO THIS IS MORE THAN 30

1216
00:52:37,134 --> 00:52:39,436
DIFFERENT INSTITUTIONS ACROSS 

1217
00:52:39,436 --> 00:52:40,871
THE COUNTRY.

1218
00:52:40,871 --> 00:52:47,711
BECAUSE THESE ARE CATCHMENT 

1219
00:52:47,711 --> 00:52:48,546
CENTERS THEY HAVE A DEMOGRAPHIC 

1220
00:52:48,546 --> 00:52:51,282
THAT LOOKS MORE LIKE THE 

1221
00:52:51,282 --> 00:52:52,449
U.S. DEMOGRAPHIC AND SEEING 

1222
00:52:52,449 --> 00:52:56,187
INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE VULNERABLE 

1223
00:52:56,187 --> 00:52:57,221
TO HEALTH DISPARITIES INCLUDING 

1224
00:52:57,221 --> 00:52:59,323
SPECIAL CARE POPULATIONS AND 

1225
00:52:59,323 --> 00:53:02,359
PEOPLE WHO HAVE OTHER ILLNESSES 

1226
00:53:02,359 --> 00:53:04,895
THAT MAKE THE PERSON IN THE 

1227
00:53:04,895 --> 00:53:05,930
OFFICE MAY NOT BEING COMFORTABLE

1228
00:53:05,930 --> 00:53:08,032
SEEING THEM.

1229
00:53:08,032 --> 00:53:10,134
SO THERE'S A REAL OPPORTUNITY AS

1230
00:53:10,134 --> 00:53:14,405
WELL AS FOR COMMUNITIES TO BE 

1231
00:53:14,405 --> 00:53:15,673
INVOLVED WITH THAT NETWORK 

1232
00:53:15,673 --> 00:53:17,608
BECAUSE THEY'RE REACHING OUT TO 

1233
00:53:17,608 --> 00:53:21,579
THEIR COMMUNITIES AND WORKING 

1234
00:53:21,579 --> 00:53:26,083
WITH FQHCs AND OTHERS IN THEIR 

1235
00:53:26,083 --> 00:53:26,383
ENVIRONMENT.

1236
00:53:26,383 --> 00:53:27,952
THOSE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS 

1237
00:53:27,952 --> 00:53:28,185
ONGOING.

1238
00:53:28,185 --> 00:53:28,986
>> MY RESPONSE IS NOT AS 

1239
00:53:28,986 --> 00:53:30,921
ELABORATE.

1240
00:53:30,921 --> 00:53:34,358
I'M AT A HIGHER LEVEL SO 

1241
00:53:34,358 --> 00:53:40,898
INDIVIDUALS LIKE DOCTOR 

1242
00:53:40,898 --> 00:53:42,700
WEBSTER-CYRIAQUE AND OTHERS AT 

1243
00:53:42,700 --> 00:53:45,836
CMS, FDA, OSHA WE COME TOGETHER 

1244
00:53:45,836 --> 00:53:51,575
IN A FEDERAL PARTNERSHIP CALLED 

1245
00:53:51,575 --> 00:53:54,178
THE ORAL HEALTH COORDINATING 

1246
00:53:54,178 --> 00:54:04,722
COMMITTEE AND WORK TO WHERE WE 

1247
00:54:07,725 --> 00:54:12,162
CAN STRATEGIZE TO MAKE THIS MORE

1248
00:54:12,162 --> 00:54:14,164
ACCESSIBLE AND THE CDC HAS 

1249
00:54:14,164 --> 00:54:16,166
EFFORTS TOE OUTREACH FOR THE 

1250
00:54:16,166 --> 00:54:16,834
COMMUNITY AS WELL.

1251
00:54:16,834 --> 00:54:20,838
SO THAT'S ALSO ACCESSIBLE.

1252
00:54:20,838 --> 00:54:22,740
MY ROLE IS TO NOT HAVE US WORK 

1253
00:54:22,740 --> 00:54:28,245
IN SILOS BUT TO TALK AMONGST 

1254
00:54:28,245 --> 00:54:29,513
OURSELVES AND NOT RECREATE THE 

1255
00:54:29,513 --> 00:54:30,748
WHEEL BUT SEE WHAT OTHERS ARE 

1256
00:54:30,748 --> 00:54:32,916
DOING AND THEN TRY TO PUT THAT 

1257
00:54:32,916 --> 00:54:35,085
FORWARD AS A STRATEGY AS WAS 

1258
00:54:35,085 --> 00:54:37,021
MENTIONED ABOUT THE ORAL HEALTH 

1259
00:54:37,021 --> 00:54:39,890
AND HUMAN SERVICES, ORAL HEALTH 

1260
00:54:39,890 --> 00:54:40,891
FRAMEWORK.

1261
00:54:40,891 --> 00:54:44,295
WE HAD ONE IN 2014, 2017 THAT 

1262
00:54:44,295 --> 00:54:44,561
EXPIRED.

1263
00:54:44,561 --> 00:54:47,665
WE REFRESHED THAT FRAMEWORK AND 

1264
00:54:47,665 --> 00:54:51,702
IT ALIGNS WITH THE HEALTHY 

1265
00:54:51,702 --> 00:54:55,105
PEOPLE'S 2030 ORAL HEALTH 

1266
00:54:55,105 --> 00:54:55,539
INDICATORS.

1267
00:54:55,539 --> 00:54:56,373
THAT IS INFORMATION THAT'S GOING

1268
00:54:56,373 --> 00:54:59,510
TO BE READILY AVAILABLE TO THE 

1269
00:54:59,510 --> 00:55:03,213
POPULATION AS WELL AS LEADERS 

1270
00:55:03,213 --> 00:55:04,048
AND WE ARE AVAILABLE TO ASSIST 

1271
00:55:04,048 --> 00:55:05,783
AND LIKE I SAID MY ROLE IS TO 

1272
00:55:05,783 --> 00:55:11,021
TRY TO CONNECT THE DOTS.

1273
00:55:11,021 --> 00:55:14,158
>> IN CONNECTING THE DOTS
AND 

1274
00:55:14,158 --> 00:55:17,494
WITH THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF 

1275
00:55:17,494 --> 00:55:20,264
IMPROVING COMMUNITY DENTAL 

1276
00:55:20,264 --> 00:55:21,432
OUTCOMES AND OTHER HEALTH 

1277
00:55:21,432 --> 00:55:22,299
OUTCOMES BECAUSE SOMETIMES WE 

1278
00:55:22,299 --> 00:55:24,268
TALK ABOUT HEALTH AS IF 

1279
00:55:24,268 --> 00:55:26,937
DENTISTS -- DENTAL HEALTH IS 

1280
00:55:26,937 --> 00:55:31,375
OVER HERE BUT IT'S REALLY 

1281
00:55:31,375 --> 00:55:31,642
IMPORTANT.

1282
00:55:31,642 --> 00:55:32,943
MY HUSBAND REMINDED ME OF THAT 

1283
00:55:32,943 --> 00:55:38,182
ALL THE TIME AND HE'S RIGHT.

1284
00:55:38,182 --> 00:55:43,487
BUT WHAT DO YOU FEEL OR BELIEVE 

1285
00:55:43,487 --> 00:55:49,993
WOULD BE A GOOD STRATEGY FOR 

1286
00:55:49,993 --> 00:55:56,300
IMPROVING THE PIPELINE FOR 

1287
00:55:56,300 --> 00:56:03,640
DENTAL PROFESSIONALS SUCH THAT 

1288
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:06,210
THE DENTIST TRULY REPRESENTS THE

1289
00:56:06,210 --> 00:56:07,644
POPULATION OF THE U.S.?

1290
00:56:07,644 --> 00:56:14,918
>> WELL, THAT'S ONE OF MY
ROLES 

1291
00:56:14,918 --> 00:56:16,153
AS NATIONAL CHIEF DENTIST.

1292
00:56:16,153 --> 00:56:19,757
WE HAVE AN ADVISORY GROUP THAT 

1293
00:56:19,757 --> 00:56:21,258
HAS WORK GROUPS AND ONE IS 

1294
00:56:21,258 --> 00:56:24,027
MINORITY AND THE OTHER IS 

1295
00:56:24,027 --> 00:56:24,328
RECRUITMENT.

1296
00:56:24,328 --> 00:56:31,668
SO WE SPECIFICALLY TARGET HBCUs 

1297
00:56:31,668 --> 00:56:33,404
AND AREAS WHERE THERE'S A 

1298
00:56:33,404 --> 00:56:37,374
HISPANIC POPULATION AND A 

1299
00:56:37,374 --> 00:56:39,643
DIVERSE POPULATION TO GET THEM 

1300
00:56:39,643 --> 00:56:42,212
EXPOSED TO OTHER CAREERS AND 

1301
00:56:42,212 --> 00:56:42,880
OPPORTUNITIES WHERE THERE'S 

1302
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:44,448
COMMISSION CORPS OR WORKING IN 

1303
00:56:44,448 --> 00:56:47,017
PRIVATE PRACTICE OR DOING 

1304
00:56:47,017 --> 00:56:47,317
RESIDENCY.

1305
00:56:47,317 --> 00:56:49,052
BUT TO SHOW OUR FACE.

1306
00:56:49,052 --> 00:56:51,188
MY EXPERIENCE WHEN I WAS AT 

1307
00:56:51,188 --> 00:56:52,556
HOWARD UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF 

1308
00:56:52,556 --> 00:56:53,757
DENTISTRY, THE ONLY RECRUITER 

1309
00:56:53,757 --> 00:56:55,025
THAT CAME TO OUR SCHOOL WAS THE 

1310
00:56:55,025 --> 00:56:56,427
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.

1311
00:56:56,427 --> 00:56:57,694
IT WAS AIR FORCE.

1312
00:56:57,694 --> 00:57:03,667
I HAD NO IDEA THE PUBLIC HEALTH 

1313
00:57:03,667 --> 00:57:04,802
SERVICE EXISTED.

1314
00:57:04,802 --> 00:57:10,240
KNOWING THERE'S A GAP THERE, 

1315
00:57:10,240 --> 00:57:14,077
IT'S MY CHARGE AND MY 

1316
00:57:14,077 --> 00:57:14,778
RESPONSIBILITY AS A PERSON OF 

1317
00:57:14,778 --> 00:57:16,513
COLOR TO BE THE FACE FOR THOSE 

1318
00:57:16,513 --> 00:57:21,718
INDIVIDUAL WHO MAY NOT KNOW OF 

1319
00:57:21,718 --> 00:57:22,719
OPPORTUNITIES THAT EXIST.

1320
00:57:22,719 --> 00:57:24,321
THAT'S ONE OF SEVERAL MY 

1321
00:57:24,321 --> 00:57:27,658
PRIORITIES SO I APPRECIATE THE 

1322
00:57:27,658 --> 00:57:34,231
QUESTION.

1323
00:57:34,231 --> 00:57:36,133
>> THAT'S VERY EXCITING SO

1324
00:57:36,133 --> 00:57:37,201
YOU'LL HEAR FROM US AGAIN 

1325
00:57:37,201 --> 00:57:38,368
BECAUSE WE'RE INTERESTED IN 

1326
00:57:38,368 --> 00:57:40,904
WORKING WITH HBCUs.

1327
00:57:40,904 --> 00:57:44,908
>> IN ONE OF OUR STRATEGIC
GOALS

1328
00:57:44,908 --> 00:57:48,078
IS TO DIVERSE PATHWAYS FOR 

1329
00:57:48,078 --> 00:57:50,848
DENTISTRY AND DENTAL RESEARCH AS

1330
00:57:50,848 --> 00:57:51,715
WELL.

1331
00:57:51,715 --> 00:57:54,218
SO, I SHARED EARLIER WE BROUGHT 

1332
00:57:54,218 --> 00:57:58,989
TOGETHER THESE DIFFERENT 

1333
00:57:58,989 --> 00:57:59,590
ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDING THE 

1334
00:57:59,590 --> 00:58:01,258
SOCIETY OF AMERICAN INDIAN 

1335
00:58:01,258 --> 00:58:07,664
DENTIST AND NDA, HDA, ADA, THE 

1336
00:58:07,664 --> 00:58:10,367
AADOCR AND OTHERS AND THAT GROUP

1337
00:58:10,367 --> 00:58:12,069
CONVENED LAST SUMMER AND DECIDED

1338
00:58:12,069 --> 00:58:16,340
WE NEED TO FOCUS ON THE K-12.

1339
00:58:16,340 --> 00:58:16,607
WHY?

1340
00:58:16,607 --> 00:58:17,608
THE DATA'S VERY CLEAR.

1341
00:58:17,608 --> 00:58:19,309
BY THE TIME PEOPLE GET TO 

1342
00:58:19,309 --> 00:58:20,744
COLLEGE, THEY'VE ALREADY DECIDED

1343
00:58:20,744 --> 00:58:23,447
WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO.

1344
00:58:23,447 --> 00:58:25,048
SO GETTING SOME EXPOSURES EARLY 

1345
00:58:25,048 --> 00:58:27,985
ON IS VERY IMPORTANT.

1346
00:58:27,985 --> 00:58:30,687
SO RIGHT NOW THE GROUP CONTINUES

1347
00:58:30,687 --> 00:58:33,423
TO CONVENE AND THINKING HOW TO 

1348
00:58:33,423 --> 00:58:35,392
BUILD A NATIONAL STRATEGY AND 

1349
00:58:35,392 --> 00:58:39,530
APPLY FOR GRANTS TO ROLL OUT 

1350
00:58:39,530 --> 00:58:41,532
PROGRAMS THAT WILL EXPOSE PEOPLE

1351
00:58:41,532 --> 00:58:46,637
TO DENTISTRY.

1352
00:58:46,637 --> 00:58:49,039
WE ALSO HAVE ACROSS FROM HIGH

00:59:08,792 --> 00:59:10,394
AND FOR MINORITY-SERVING 

1362
00:59:10,394 --> 00:59:11,929
INSTITUTIONS SPECIFICALLY.

1363
00:59:11,929 --> 00:59:14,364
THERE'S ALSO TRAINING GRANTS AND

00:59:14,364 --> 00:59:19,469

WE HAVE RIGHT NOW MORE THAN 40 

1394
01:00:42,953 --> 01:00:46,089

1404
01:01:13,150 --> 01:01:14,251

01:01:14,251 --> 01:01:15,652
WHEN WE HAVE ALL THESE FOLKS 

1406
01:01:15,652 --> 01:01:18,088
THERE AND WHAT WE DON'T HAVE -- 

1407
01:01:18,088 --> 01:01:22,926
THIS IS OUR FAILURE, I THINK, WE

1408
01:01:22,926 --> 01:01:24,461
DON'T HAVE ANYONE THAT WOULD 

1409
01:01:24,461 --> 01:01:25,162
REPRESENT THESE OPPORTUNITIES 

1410
01:01:25,162 --> 01:01:29,766
FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WOULD COME.

1411
01:01:29,766 --> 01:01:32,035
SO THERE ARE HEALTH FAIRES ALL 

1412
01:01:32,035 --> 01:01:33,870
OVER THE COUNTRY BY MANY 

1413
01:01:33,870 --> 01:01:34,204
ORGANIZATIONS.

1414
01:01:34,204 --> 01:01:37,307
HOW DO YOU THINK THOSE TYPES OF 

1415
01:01:37,307 --> 01:01:40,577
EVENTS COULD BE USED TO CONNECT 

1416
01:01:40,577 --> 01:01:42,679
PEOPLE MAYBE FROM THE COMMUNITY 

1417
01:01:42,679 --> 01:01:44,548
SORT OF TO THE RESEARCH 

1418
01:01:44,548 --> 01:01:47,084
ORGANIZATIONS THAT MAY HELP TO 

1419
01:01:47,084 --> 01:01:48,852
FOSTER INTEREST IN BECOMING 

1420
01:01:48,852 --> 01:01:51,788
RESEARCHERS, ETCETERA?

1421
01:01:51,788 --> 01:01:57,894
>> SO I THINK -- I DON'T
KNOW IF

1422
01:01:57,894 --> 01:01:59,362
YOU'LL HAVE MONITORS OUT THERE 

1423
01:01:59,362 --> 01:02:02,466
BUT THERE COULD BE FILMS 

1424
01:02:02,466 --> 01:02:06,203
SHOWCASED IN THE CONTEXT OF THE 

1425
01:02:06,203 --> 01:02:10,140
HEALTH FAIRE LIKE THE FUTUREUM,

THERE ARE RESEARCHERS ALL OVER.

01:02:15,378 --> 01:02:18,648
YOU CAN SAY NIDCR, WE'LL BE AT

01:02:18,648 --> 01:02:21,084

01:02:34,364 --> 01:02:36,733
DISEASE AND WHY X, Y, Z IS 

1435
01:02:36,733 --> 01:02:37,000
IMPORTANT.

1436
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:38,435
THERE'S MANY RESEARCHERS ALL 

1437
01:02:38,435 --> 01:02:42,205

JUST LET US KNOW.

1448
01:03:13,804 --> 01:03:14,037

1449
01:03:14,037 --> 01:03:16,973
VERY GOOD.

1450
01:03:16,973 --> 01:03:19,709
>> NOW, FROM A COMMISSION
CORPS 

1451
01:03:19,709 --> 01:03:25,348
STANDPOINT THAT'S KIND OF IN OUR

1452
01:03:25,348 --> 01:03:25,649
WHEELHOUSE.

1453
01:03:25,649 --> 01:03:27,651
IF, FOR EXAMPLE, YOU WOULD HAVE 

1454
01:03:27,651 --> 01:03:29,519
REACHED OUT SEVERAL MONTHS 

1455
01:03:29,519 --> 01:03:29,953
AGO -- 

1456
01:03:29,953 --> 01:03:31,488
>> NOT NOW.

1457
01:03:31,488 --> 01:03:36,726
>> -- WE COULD HAVE TAPPED

1458
01:03:36,726 --> 01:03:39,162
INDIVIDUALS IN THE TRIANGLE AREA

1459
01:03:39,162 --> 01:03:39,930
CORPS WITH VARIOUS EXPERTISE 

1460
01:03:39,930 --> 01:03:44,601
THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN PREPARED 

1461
01:03:44,601 --> 01:03:45,836
AND COULD SHINE AND FOLLOW 

1462
01:03:45,836 --> 01:03:47,671
WHATEVER ROAD MAP YOU HAD FOR 

1463
01:03:47,671 --> 01:03:51,842
THEM OR ALLOW THEM TO DO WHAT 

1464
01:03:51,842 --> 01:03:54,945
THEY DO BEST.

1465
01:03:54,945 --> 01:03:57,614
THE CORPS AND I'M BRAGGING, THE 

1466
01:03:57,614 --> 01:04:03,653
CORPS HAS REALLY HIGH-LEVEL 

1467
01:04:03,653 --> 01:04:07,457
INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE NOT ONLYING

1468
01:04:07,457 --> 01:04:11,294
SPEAKING PLAIN LANGUAGE BUT 

1469
01:04:11,294 --> 01:04:12,963
KNOWLEDGEABLE, DEDICATED AND 

1470
01:04:12,963 --> 01:04:22,539
WOULD BE AN ASSESS  -- ASSET AND

1471
01:04:22,539 --> 01:04:24,641
WOULD BE OVER JOYED TO BE PART 

1472
01:04:24,641 --> 01:04:25,375
OF THAT.

1473
01:04:25,375 --> 01:04:26,943
>> THERE'LL BE ANOTHER ONE
MARCH

1474
01:04:26,943 --> 01:04:28,411
OF NEXT YEAR AND AS WE THINK 

1475
01:04:28,411 --> 01:04:33,617
ABOUT TRYING TO TRANSLATE FROM 

1476
01:04:33,617 --> 01:04:35,051
RESEARCH TO THE COMMUNITY AND 

1477
01:04:35,051 --> 01:04:35,652
MAKING SURE WE HAVE 

1478
01:04:35,652 --> 01:04:38,054
COMMUNICATION BOTH WAYS SO 

1479
01:04:38,054 --> 01:04:39,656
PEOPLE GET USED TO BEING AROUND 

1480
01:04:39,656 --> 01:04:43,026
RESEARCHERS AND HAVING THE 

1481
01:04:43,026 --> 01:04:43,660
CONVERSATIONS BEFORE A STUDY IS 

1482
01:04:43,660 --> 01:04:45,295
DONE.

1483
01:04:45,295 --> 01:04:47,631
>> AND MAYBE A ROUND TABLE
WHERE

1484
01:04:47,631 --> 01:04:49,733
THE COMMUNITY SITS DOWN WITH 

1485
01:04:49,733 --> 01:04:51,635
PEOPLE FROM THE COMMISSION CORPS

1486
01:04:51,635 --> 01:04:53,970
OR RESEARCHERS TO SHARE HERE'S 

1487
01:04:53,970 --> 01:04:55,138
WHAT OUR FRUSTRATION IS, HERE'S 

1488
01:04:55,138 --> 01:04:58,675
WHAT WE'D LIKE TO SEE AND MAYBE 

1489
01:04:58,675 --> 01:04:59,709
HAVING SESSIONS LIKE THAT 

1490
01:04:59,709 --> 01:04:59,943
PLANNED.

1491
01:04:59,943 --> 01:05:01,444
>> I LIKE THAT A LOT.

1492
01:05:01,444 --> 01:05:02,646
I LOVE ROUNDTABLE.

1493
01:05:02,646 --> 01:05:05,181
I THINK THAT'S WONDERFUL.

1494
01:05:05,181 --> 01:05:07,050
IT'S HARD FOR KNOW THINK BEYOND 

1495
01:05:07,050 --> 01:05:10,320
THE ROUNDTABLE CONCEPT.

1496
01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:18,762
>> I'M ALSO PART OF A 

1497
01:05:18,762 --> 01:05:20,697
PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP AND 

1498
01:05:20,697 --> 01:05:22,165
THE INDIVIDUALS ON THE CALL 

1499
01:05:22,165 --> 01:05:27,637
THERE'S ABOUT 80 FOLKS WE MEET 

1500
01:05:27,637 --> 01:05:30,206
WOULD DEFINITELY IDENTIFY 

1501
01:05:30,206 --> 01:05:35,345
SOMEONE WHO WOULD BE A 

1502
01:05:35,345 --> 01:05:37,047
PARTICIPANT OR WHATEVER YOUR 

1503
01:05:37,047 --> 01:05:39,316
NEEDS ARE SO NOW YOU HAVE 

1504
01:05:39,316 --> 01:05:39,616
CONNECTIONS.

1505
01:05:39,616 --> 01:05:41,484
>> JUST COME UP TO
BETHESDA AND 

1506
01:05:41,484 --> 01:05:43,019
YOU'LL GET CONNECTIONS.

1507
01:05:43,019 --> 01:05:45,288
SO I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

1508
01:05:45,288 --> 01:05:50,593
LET ME GO BACK TO SOMETHING FOR 

1509
01:05:50,593 --> 01:05:51,861
A MOMENT AND THAT'S TALKING 

1510
01:05:51,861 --> 01:05:53,430
ABOUT HBCUs.

1511
01:05:53,430 --> 01:05:55,565
WHEN YOU STARTED WE HAD THE 

1512
01:05:55,565 --> 01:05:57,968
BENEFIT, THE ADDED BENEFIT OF 

1513
01:05:57,968 --> 01:06:00,403
HAVING A SHORT CLIP SHOW 

1514
01:06:00,403 --> 01:06:02,806
INITIALLY THAT TALKED ABOUT 

1515
01:06:02,806 --> 01:06:03,807
ST. AGNES HOSPITAL.

1516
01:06:03,807 --> 01:06:08,011
ST. AGNES HOSPITAL WAS ACTUALLY 

1517
01:06:08,011 --> 01:06:15,652
FOUNDED ON THE CAMPUS OF 

1518
01:06:15,652 --> 01:06:19,289
ST. AUGUSTINE IN NORTH CAROLINA 

1519
01:06:19,289 --> 01:06:21,558
AND CLOSED IN 1961.

1520
01:06:21,558 --> 01:06:24,561
ST. AGNES FOR MANY WOULD SAY WAS

1521
01:06:24,561 --> 01:06:27,664
THE BEST EQUIPPED HOSPITAL FOR A

1522
01:06:27,664 --> 01:06:32,669
WHILE BETWEEN ATLANTA AND D.C.

1523
01:06:32,669 --> 01:06:35,105
THERE WERE MANY HOSPITALS THAT 

1524
01:06:35,105 --> 01:06:37,507
WERE IN EXISTENCE AT IT TIME BUT

1525
01:06:37,507 --> 01:06:39,642
MANY OF WHICH DID NOT ADMIT 

1526
01:06:39,642 --> 01:06:46,016
BLACK PATIENTS.

1527
01:06:46,016 --> 01:06:48,451
SO WE WOULD CERTAINLY ENCOURAGE 

1528
01:06:48,451 --> 01:06:49,619
EVERYONE HERE IF YOU GET A 

1529
01:06:49,619 --> 01:06:51,554
CHANCE TO GO ON THE NIH SITE AND

1530
01:06:51,554 --> 01:06:53,456
CONNECT AND SEE THE FILM IT'S 

1531
01:06:53,456 --> 01:06:55,258
ABOUT 24 MINUTES TO GIVE YOU A 

1532
01:06:55,258 --> 01:06:59,996
LITTLE HISTORY ON THAT.

1533
01:06:59,996 --> 01:07:02,632
HBCUs HAVE SERVED A VERY VITAL 

1534
01:07:02,632 --> 01:07:06,803
ROLE IN OUR COUNTRY.

1535
01:07:06,803 --> 01:07:11,341
THEY HELP TO EDUCATE AND TRAIN 

1536
01:07:11,341 --> 01:07:13,076
STUDENTS WHO FEED THE PIPELINE 

1537
01:07:13,076 --> 01:07:14,611
IN MANY WAYS.

1538
01:07:14,611 --> 01:07:18,214
AND IF WERE NOT FOR THEM AND 

1539
01:07:18,214 --> 01:07:22,452
SPECIFICALLY FOR THE PROFESSION 

1540
01:07:22,452 --> 01:07:24,320
SCHOOLS, HOWARD AND MAHARRY 

1541
01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:27,023
WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO SEE WHERE 

1542
01:07:27,023 --> 01:07:28,258
WE WOULD BE AS FAR AS THE HEALTH

1543
01:07:28,258 --> 01:07:30,727
CARE WORKFORCE.

1544
01:07:30,727 --> 01:07:33,296
I'M WONDERING BECAUSE I DO WORK 

1545
01:07:33,296 --> 01:07:40,203
WITH SOME OF THE HBCU EASY IN 

1546
01:07:40,203 --> 01:07:41,638
RALEIGH AND THEY'RE UNDER FUND, 

1547
01:07:41,638 --> 01:07:43,239
STRESSED, HAVING LOTS OF ISSUES.

1548
01:07:43,239 --> 01:07:44,641
WHEN YOU MEET THE STUDENTS THERE

1549
01:07:44,641 --> 01:07:45,542
YOU WOULD NEVER NOT.

1550
01:07:45,542 --> 01:07:48,878
THEY'RE FUFL PROMISE.

1551
01:07:48,878 --> 01:07:49,913
-- THEY'RE FULL OF PROMISE.

1552
01:07:49,913 --> 01:07:55,251
THEY NEED CONNECTIONS.

1553
01:07:55,251 --> 01:08:05,528
THEY NEED HELP.

1554
01:08:08,865 --> 01:08:11,367
WHAT ARE YOUR CURRENT 

1555
01:08:11,367 --> 01:08:11,768
RELATIONSHIPS.

1556
01:08:11,768 --> 01:08:16,206
I KNOW SOME CONVERSATIONS ARE 

1557
01:08:16,206 --> 01:08:17,941
ONGOING WITH THE HBCUs BUT IF 

1558
01:08:17,941 --> 01:08:19,576
I'M A STUDENT AND WANT TO KNOW 

1559
01:08:19,576 --> 01:08:21,311
WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IN THE 

1560
01:08:21,311 --> 01:08:23,179
SUMMER OR THAT TYPE OF THING, 

1561
01:08:23,179 --> 01:08:24,547
CAN YOU TELL ME A LITTLE BIT 

1562
01:08:24,547 --> 01:08:27,584
MORE FOR THOSE WHO ARE TUNED IN 

1563
01:08:27,584 --> 01:08:32,689
TO SAY WHAT SHOULD THEY DO?

1564
01:08:32,689 --> 01:08:35,658
AND WHAT ARE SOME OF THE 

1565
01:08:35,658 --> 01:08:36,659
SPECIFIC PRIVATE PARTNER BECAUSE

1566
01:08:36,659 --> 01:08:41,131
SOME HBCUs ARE PRIVATE AND 

1567
01:08:41,131 --> 01:08:42,198
PUBLIC-PRIVATE RELATIONSHIPS 

1568
01:08:42,198 --> 01:08:44,634
THAT MAY BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO THE

1569
01:08:44,634 --> 01:08:55,011
NEEDS OF THE STUDENTS?

1570
01:08:55,378 --> 01:08:58,414
>> AS MY ROLE AS CHIEF OF
THE 

1571
01:08:58,414 --> 01:08:59,582
DENTAL CATEGORY, AS I SHARED 

1572
01:08:59,582 --> 01:09:01,784
EARLIER, IT'S A TOP PRIORITY FOR

1573
01:09:01,784 --> 01:09:10,126
KNOW GO TO THOSE SCHOOLS AND 

1574
01:09:10,126 --> 01:09:11,995
SPEAK TO THE OPPORTUNITIES AND 

1575
01:09:11,995 --> 01:09:13,396
CAREERS AVAILABLE FOR STUDENTS 

1576
01:09:13,396 --> 01:09:22,038
NOT JUST AT DENTAL SCHOOLS BUT 

1577
01:09:22,038 --> 01:09:24,240
UNDERGRAD AND HIGH SCHOOLS AND 

1578
01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:24,874
SECONDARY SCHOOLS.

1579
01:09:24,874 --> 01:09:26,309
AS FAR AS WHAT ARE WE DOING NOW 

1580
01:09:26,309 --> 01:09:29,712
AS I SHARED WITH YOU BEFORE, WE 

1581
01:09:29,712 --> 01:09:31,481
HAVE A DENTAL ADVISORY GROUP 

1582
01:09:31,481 --> 01:09:34,551
THAT HAS SECTIONS AND WE HAVE A 

1583
01:09:34,551 --> 01:09:35,418
MINORITY SECTION.

1584
01:09:35,418 --> 01:09:38,988
WE HAVE A RECRUITMENT PIECE, 

1585
01:09:38,988 --> 01:09:43,626
THEY'RE GOING OUT TO THE 

1586
01:09:43,626 --> 01:09:45,795
INSTITUTIONS AND PROVIDING THAT 

1587
01:09:45,795 --> 01:09:47,764
INFORMATION.

1588
01:09:47,764 --> 01:09:51,668
SINCE I'VE COME ON BOARD, I'VE 

1589
01:09:51,668 --> 01:09:54,504
REQUESTED ON THOSE SO THEY 

1590
01:09:54,504 --> 01:09:57,006
CONDITION SEE A FACE AND HEAR MY

1591
01:09:57,006 --> 01:09:57,307
HISTORY.

1592
01:09:57,307 --> 01:10:03,279
AS YOU HAD ELOQUENTLY STATED, 

1593
01:10:03,279 --> 01:10:05,481
WHERE WOULD I BE IF NOT FOR 

1594
01:10:05,481 --> 01:10:05,915
HOWARD UNIVERSITY.

1595
01:10:05,915 --> 01:10:09,819
THAT'S WHERE I GRADUATED FROM 

1596
01:10:09,819 --> 01:10:11,254
DENTAL SCHOOL AND THE BEST FOUR 

1597
01:10:11,254 --> 01:10:13,256
YEARS I'VE HAD IN EXPERIENCE.

1598
01:10:13,256 --> 01:10:14,958
NOT EVERYONE ENJOYED DENTAL 

1599
01:10:14,958 --> 01:10:15,191
SCHOOL.

1600
01:10:15,191 --> 01:10:15,792
I LOVED IT.

1601
01:10:15,792 --> 01:10:18,528
IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I SAW 

1602
01:10:18,528 --> 01:10:23,666
FOLKS WHO LOOKED LIKE ME AND I 

1603
01:10:23,666 --> 01:10:25,902
DIDN'T HAVE TO WORRY OR CONCERN 

1604
01:10:25,902 --> 01:10:27,770
MYSELF, DID I GET THE GRADE 

1605
01:10:27,770 --> 01:10:31,641
BECAUSE OF SOME OTHER FACTOR?

1606
01:10:31,641 --> 01:10:33,443
WHATEVER GRADE I GOT AT HOWARD 

1607
01:10:33,443 --> 01:10:35,645
UNIVERSITY IS THE GRADE I 

1608
01:10:35,645 --> 01:10:41,951
DESERVED.

1609
01:10:41,951 --> 01:10:43,987
IT'S IMPORTANT TO UPLIFT THOSE 

1610
01:10:43,987 --> 01:10:46,389
INSTITUTIONS MORE SO NOW THAN 

1611
01:10:46,389 --> 01:10:46,723
EVER.

1612
01:10:46,723 --> 01:10:48,091
I HAVE A GREAT RESPECT AND THAT 

1613
01:10:48,091 --> 01:10:52,762
IS MY CHARGE TO GO TO THOSE 

1614
01:10:52,762 --> 01:10:54,197
INSTITUTIONS AS WELL AS TO 

1615
01:10:54,197 --> 01:10:55,665
UNDERGRAD SECONDARY AND PRIMARY 

1616
01:10:55,665 --> 01:11:02,705
SCHOOLS.

1617
01:11:02,705 --> 01:11:05,041
>> AMONG THE PRIMED
NETWORK OF 

1618
01:11:05,041 --> 01:11:06,442
THOSE SCHOOLS ARE HOWARD AND 

1619
01:11:06,442 --> 01:11:07,644
MAHARRY.

1620
01:11:07,644 --> 01:11:15,251
THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT.

1621
01:11:15,251 --> 01:11:19,088
ONE THING THAT'S CRITICAL IS TO 

1622
01:11:19,088 --> 01:11:23,693
HELP MINORITY-SERVING 

1623
01:11:23,693 --> 01:11:25,895
INSTITUTIONS COMPETE AND THERE'S

1624
01:11:25,895 --> 01:11:28,164
SIGNIFICANCE IN PROVIDING 

1625
01:11:28,164 --> 01:11:33,336
LOWER-RESOURCED INSTITUTIONS AND

1626
01:11:33,336 --> 01:11:35,638
MINORITY-SERVING INSTITUTIONS 

1627
01:11:35,638 --> 01:11:41,978
WITH SUPPORT TO HELP BUILD, FOR 

1628
01:11:41,978 --> 01:11:44,380
EXAMPLE, HELP THEM GET THE 

1629
01:11:44,380 --> 01:11:44,981
EQUIPMENT THEY NEED.

1630
01:11:44,981 --> 01:11:46,582
THERE'S EQUIPMENT GRANTS TO 

1631
01:11:46,582 --> 01:11:47,817
APPLY FOR AND MUCH EFFORTS HAVE 

1632
01:11:47,817 --> 01:11:49,919
COME THROUGH THE UNITE PROGRAM 

1633
01:11:49,919 --> 01:11:54,791
HERE AT NIH.

1634
01:11:54,791 --> 01:12:02,598
BUT THERE ARE ALSO MANY IN THE R

1635
01:12:02,598 --> 01:12:05,034
GRANT AND GRANTS HAVE LETTERS ON

1636
01:12:05,034 --> 01:12:08,271
THEM, EVERY R GRANT HAS AN 

1637
01:12:08,271 --> 01:12:11,407
OPPORTUNITY TO BRING ON A 

1638
01:12:11,407 --> 01:12:13,543
DIVERSE INDIVIDUAL.

1639
01:12:13,543 --> 01:12:14,277
THAT'S SIGNIFICANTLY UNDER 

1640
01:12:14,277 --> 01:12:16,746
UTILIZED AND IT'S CALLED THE 

1641
01:12:16,746 --> 01:12:17,714
DIVERSITY SUPPLEMENT TO HAVE 

1642
01:12:17,714 --> 01:12:19,649
PEOPLE COME ON BOARD AND GET 

1643
01:12:19,649 --> 01:12:23,653
INVOLVED WITH RESEARCH.

1644
01:12:23,653 --> 01:12:25,521

1684
01:14:02,595 --> 01:14:04,264

1693
01:14:23,049 --> 01:14:25,318
I WENT THE FIRST YEAR WITH MY 

1694
01:14:25,318 --> 01:14:26,920
HUSBAND I ACTUALLY THOUGHT I 

1695
01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:31,991
WOULD BE HELPING PEOPLE FILL OUT

1696
01:14:31,991 --> 01:14:35,128
THEIR FORMS BECAUSE I THOUGHT 

1697
01:14:35,128 --> 01:14:39,098
WHAT WOULD A DOCTOR AN M.D. DO 

1698
01:14:39,098 --> 01:14:42,936
AT A DENTAL SERVICE CLINIC.

1699
01:14:42,936 --> 01:14:47,340
I WAS FINE WITH JUST HELPING 

1700
01:14:47,340 --> 01:14:49,075
PEOPLE, I WRITE OKAY.

1701
01:14:49,075 --> 01:14:52,946
I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER BEEN IN 

1702
01:14:52,946 --> 01:14:54,013
AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE A HEALTH 

1703
01:14:54,013 --> 01:14:56,015
CARE MEDICAL DOCTOR WAS MORE 

1704
01:14:56,015 --> 01:15:00,353
NEED AND I'VE DONE CLINICS, I 

1705
01:15:00,353 --> 01:15:02,555
SPENT MOST MY CAREER IN DOWNTOWN

1706
01:15:02,555 --> 01:15:03,490
CHICAGO AND BEEN IN DIFFERENT 

1707
01:15:03,490 --> 01:15:06,726
AREAS AND I WOULD HAVE TO SAY I 

1708
01:15:06,726 --> 01:15:08,595
SAW PEOPLE WHO WERE COMING IN 

1709
01:15:08,595 --> 01:15:10,129
AND HELPING THEM FILL OUT FORMS 

1710
01:15:10,129 --> 01:15:12,699
BUT I WAS ALSO -- THEY ASKED ME 

1711
01:15:12,699 --> 01:15:14,801
WELL, HEY, YOU'RE A DOC.

1712
01:15:14,801 --> 01:15:16,536
CAN YOU INTERPRET THE BLOOD 

1713
01:15:16,536 --> 01:15:19,372
PRESSURE ARE OUT OF CONTROL AND 

1714
01:15:19,372 --> 01:15:21,374
BLOOD GLUCOSE OUT OF CONTROL 

1715
01:15:21,374 --> 01:15:23,343
BECAUSE THEY WERE DOING THAT 

1716
01:15:23,343 --> 01:15:24,310
BEFORE SERVICES.

1717
01:15:24,310 --> 01:15:31,150
WE HAD TO SEND SEVERAL PEOPLE TO

1718
01:15:31,150 --> 01:15:32,018
THE E.R.

1719
01:15:32,018 --> 01:15:35,288
WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE 

1720
01:15:35,288 --> 01:15:36,289
CONDITION OF TEETH WHEN THEY GET

1721
01:15:36,289 --> 01:15:38,591
CHEMO THERAPY AND HOMELESS 

1722
01:15:38,591 --> 01:15:41,027
PEOPLE WHO ARE TREATED WITH 

1723
01:15:41,027 --> 01:15:42,095
CHEMOTHERAPY AND RELEASED TO THE

1724
01:15:42,095 --> 01:15:45,398
STREETS AND IT HAPPENS MORE 

1725
01:15:45,398 --> 01:15:47,333
OFTEN THAN YOU THINK.

1726
01:15:47,333 --> 01:15:51,104
THIS EXPENSIVE CARE AND THEY'RE 

1727
01:15:51,104 --> 01:15:53,373
RELEASED TO THE STREET AND THE 

1728
01:15:53,373 --> 01:15:56,142
LINE WAS AROUND THE CORNER AND I

1729
01:15:56,142 --> 01:15:58,311
SAW SCHOOL TEACHERS WHICH 

1730
01:15:58,311 --> 01:15:59,746
SURPRISED ME.

1731
01:15:59,746 --> 01:16:04,017
THERE ARE A LOT OF SCHOOL 

1732
01:16:04,017 --> 01:16:04,284
TEACHERS.

1733
01:16:04,284 --> 01:16:07,554
I SAW PEOPLE WHO ABUSE DRUGS, 

1734
01:16:07,554 --> 01:16:08,888
METHAMPHETAMINE COMES TO MIND 

1735
01:16:08,888 --> 01:16:12,926
BECAUSE THE TEETH WERE 

1736
01:16:12,926 --> 01:16:13,960
INCREDIBLY IMPACTED.

1737
01:16:13,960 --> 01:16:15,962
WHAT I WOULD SAY IS THERE'S SUCH

1738
01:16:15,962 --> 01:16:18,131
A NEED FOR INTEGRATION OR MORE 

1739
01:16:18,131 --> 01:16:21,668
INTEGRATION OF DENTAL SERVICES, 

1740
01:16:21,668 --> 01:16:27,173
ORAL HEALTH AND IT GOES ON BOTH 

1741
01:16:27,173 --> 01:16:28,775
SIDES WITH THE OMNI MEDICAL 

1742
01:16:28,775 --> 01:16:31,611
CENTER AND MORE INVOLVEMENT AND 

1743
01:16:31,611 --> 01:16:33,146
SUPPORT OF ORAL HEALTH SERVICES 

1744
01:16:33,146 --> 01:16:35,782
BECAUSE IF WE WANT TO IDENTIFY 

1745
01:16:35,782 --> 01:16:38,418
PEOPLE WITH POORER OUTCOMES, I 

1746
01:16:38,418 --> 01:16:39,986
SAY GO TO THE CLINICS AND YOU'LL

1747
01:16:39,986 --> 01:16:40,253
SEE.

1748
01:16:40,253 --> 01:16:42,889
