1
00:13:39,202 --> 00:13:40,268
This marks the last

2
00:13:40,270 --> 00:13:41,736

00:13:41,738 --> 00:13:42,804

Men's Advisory

5
00:13:43,873 --> 00:13:46,074
Commission. We will

6
00:13:46,076 --> 00:13:49,677
take the role.

7
00:13:57,587 --> 00:14:00,788
McGuire here. Senator

8
00:14:00,790 --> 00:14:04,392

00:14:04,394 --> 00:14:06,527
Senator Ired. Senator

Present, and Lauren.

00:14:23,813 --> 00:14:28,716
Chair. A quorum is

15
00:14:39,829 --> 00:14:40,795
love having a quorum.

16
00:14:40,797 --> 00:14:42,630
That's outstanding.

17
00:14:42,632 --> 00:14:43,631
Before moving on, I'd

18
00:14:43,633 --> 00:14:45,066
like to recognize our

19
00:14:45,068 --> 00:14:46,167
two new members who

20
00:14:46,169 --> 00:14:47,435
have joined us in the

21
00:14:47,437 --> 00:14:48,703
interim from our last

22
00:14:48,705 --> 00:14:49,704
meeting. If we could

23
00:14:59,382 --> 00:15:00,314
start with Supervisor

24
00:15:00,316 --> 00:15:01,983
Drew.

25
00:15:01,985 --> 00:15:02,984
>> Good morning all.

26
00:15:02,986 --> 00:15:04,519
I am Cameron Drew

27
00:15:04,521 --> 00:15:05,219
from Surry County,

28
00:15:05,221 --> 00:15:05,953
Virginia. I serve on

29
00:15:05,955 --> 00:15:06,754
the Surry County

30
00:15:06,756 --> 00:15:07,755
Board of Supervisors.

31
00:15:07,757 --> 00:15:09,691
I'm really glad to be

32
00:15:19,269 --> 00:15:20,268
>> Good morning. My

33
00:15:20,270 --> 00:15:21,269
name is Lauren Sallee.

34
00:15:21,271 --> 00:15:22,503
I am a licensed

35
00:15:22,505 --> 00:15:23,237
professional

36
00:15:23,239 --> 00:15:25,039
counselor. I am from

37
00:15:25,041 --> 00:15:26,140
Portsmouth, Virginia.

38
00:15:26,142 --> 00:15:27,575
I am looking forward

39
00:15:39,789 --> 00:15:40,888
>> Thank you very

40
00:15:40,890 --> 00:15:41,889
much. All right. Next

41
00:15:41,891 --> 00:15:43,391
item on the agenda is

42
00:15:43,393 --> 00:15:44,258
why we're all here

43
00:15:44,260 --> 00:15:45,259
and what we've been

44
00:15:45,261 --> 00:15:46,294
working for for this

45
00:15:46,296 --> 00:15:47,261
entire year so far,

46
00:15:47,263 --> 00:15:48,830
which is our annual

47
00:15:48,832 --> 00:15:49,530
report, along with

48
00:15:59,976 --> 00:16:01,075
this all happen. So

49
00:16:01,077 --> 00:16:02,110
I'd like to thank

50
00:16:02,112 --> 00:16:03,544
Troy Hatcher, Anthony

51
00:16:03,546 --> 00:16:04,946
Sergeant, Doug Weimer,

52
00:16:04,948 --> 00:16:06,080
Tanisha Harper and

53
00:16:06,082 --> 00:16:07,181
Kathy, who for all of

54
00:16:07,183 --> 00:16:08,082
your work this year

55
00:16:08,084 --> 00:16:09,117
and making sure that

56
00:16:19,062 --> 00:16:20,161
that and it is just

57
00:16:20,163 --> 00:16:21,162
got confirmation.

58
00:16:21,164 --> 00:16:22,663
That's great. So it's

59
00:16:22,665 --> 00:16:23,297
available to the

60
00:16:23,299 --> 00:16:24,132
public. I know

61
00:16:24,134 --> 00:16:24,832
members of the

62
00:16:24,834 --> 00:16:25,333
commission have had a

63
00:16:25,335 --> 00:16:26,367
chance to familiarize

64
00:16:26,369 --> 00:16:27,201
themselves with some

65
00:16:27,203 --> 00:16:27,435
of the

66
00:16:27,437 --> 00:16:28,169
recommendations at

67
00:16:28,171 --> 00:16:29,170
this point. Open up

68
00:16:36,679 --> 00:16:40,615
floor is open.

69
00:16:40,617 --> 00:16:40,982
>> Mr. Chair.

70
00:16:40,984 --> 00:16:42,450
>> Senator Bagby.

71
00:16:42,452 --> 00:16:43,885
>> Thank you. The

72
00:16:43,887 --> 00:16:46,087
only sort of

73
00:16:46,089 --> 00:16:47,155
amendment I would ask

74
00:16:47,157 --> 00:16:48,923
us to consider is

75
00:16:59,335 --> 00:17:03,304
facilities and the

76
00:17:03,306 --> 00:17:04,739
availability of that

77
00:17:04,741 --> 00:17:08,109
data. So I would hope

78
00:17:19,722 --> 00:17:20,621
gathering phase on

79
00:17:20,623 --> 00:17:21,622
that topic. So we

80
00:17:21,624 --> 00:17:22,590
would hope that the

81
00:17:22,592 --> 00:17:23,090
recommendations would

82
00:17:23,092 --> 00:17:23,724
bear that out. I

83
00:17:23,726 --> 00:17:24,759
haven't had a chance

84
00:17:24,761 --> 00:17:25,827
to review that, that

85
00:17:25,829 --> 00:17:26,694
issue specifically,

86
00:17:26,696 --> 00:17:27,762
but I think we'll be

87
00:17:27,764 --> 00:17:28,796
able to make sure

88
00:17:28,798 --> 00:17:29,797
that there's at least

89
00:17:39,008 --> 00:17:40,007
>> Thank you, Mr.

90
00:17:40,009 --> 00:17:41,008
Chair. Just a quick

91
00:17:41,010 --> 00:17:41,409
comment. Really

92
00:17:41,411 --> 00:17:42,276
wanted to just thank

93
00:17:42,278 --> 00:17:43,277
you and Vice Chair

94
00:17:43,279 --> 00:17:44,345
Bagby, for your

95
00:17:44,347 --> 00:17:45,279
leadership on all of

96
00:17:45,281 --> 00:17:46,214
the meetings we've

97
00:17:46,216 --> 00:17:47,248
had this year on this

98
00:17:47,250 --> 00:17:48,316
issue through this

99
00:17:59,128 --> 00:18:00,595
again, thank you for

100
00:18:00,597 --> 00:18:01,996
the initiative to, to

101
00:18:01,998 --> 00:18:03,431
make this commission

102
00:18:03,433 --> 00:18:04,432
happen, to stand it

103
00:18:04,434 --> 00:18:05,566
up and to, to do the

104
00:18:05,568 --> 00:18:08,469
work. So thank you.

105
00:18:08,471 --> 00:18:08,870
>> Thank you.

106
00:18:19,148 --> 00:18:22,183
you uncomfortable.

107
00:18:22,185 --> 00:18:23,351
>> All right, seeing

108
00:18:23,353 --> 00:18:24,452
no one else, we'll

109
00:18:24,454 --> 00:18:25,519
move on to the next

110
00:18:25,521 --> 00:18:26,520
agenda item, which is

111
00:18:26,522 --> 00:18:27,622
to vote on the report.

112
00:18:27,624 --> 00:18:29,357
This is a voice vote.

113
00:18:39,669 --> 00:18:40,868
right now, and then

114
00:18:40,870 --> 00:18:41,969
sending it over to

115
00:18:41,971 --> 00:18:43,070
the legislature and

116
00:18:43,072 --> 00:18:44,205
the governor. So

117
00:18:44,207 --> 00:18:45,239
again, this will be a

118
00:18:45,241 --> 00:18:46,307
voice vote. All those

119
00:18:46,309 --> 00:18:48,776
in favor of ratifying

120
00:18:48,778 --> 00:18:49,577
this report and

121
00:18:58,187 --> 00:19:00,354
discussion, which is

122
00:19:00,356 --> 00:19:01,756
2027 business. To

123
00:19:01,758 --> 00:19:02,390
remind everyone on

124
00:19:02,392 --> 00:19:03,157
the commission this

125
00:19:03,159 --> 00:19:04,392
year we looked at K

126
00:19:04,394 --> 00:19:05,726
through 12 policies

127
00:19:05,728 --> 00:19:06,794
and workforce

128
00:19:06,796 --> 00:19:07,194
development. It

129
00:19:07,196 --> 00:19:07,862
doesn't mean we

130
00:19:07,864 --> 00:19:08,796
cannot continue to

131
00:19:19,342 --> 00:19:20,174
thereto, which would

132
00:19:20,176 --> 00:19:21,175
be health outcomes,

133
00:19:21,177 --> 00:19:22,343
social media and

134
00:19:22,345 --> 00:19:24,045
family life. I would

135
00:19:24,047 --> 00:19:24,812
take a chair's

136
00:19:24,814 --> 00:19:25,513
prerogative for a

137
00:19:25,515 --> 00:19:26,614
second to underscore

138
00:19:26,616 --> 00:19:28,082
the need for looking

139
00:19:28,084 --> 00:19:28,749
at health,

140
00:19:28,751 --> 00:19:29,417
particularly at some

141
00:19:39,195 --> 00:19:40,194
black men in the

142
00:19:40,196 --> 00:19:40,661
workforce and also

143
00:19:40,663 --> 00:19:41,762
the health component

144
00:19:41,764 --> 00:19:43,531
related to that, my

145
00:19:43,533 --> 00:19:44,265
recommendation would

146
00:19:44,267 --> 00:19:45,700
be of the three

147
00:19:45,702 --> 00:19:46,167
substantive meetings

148
00:19:46,169 --> 00:19:47,134
there being four in

149
00:19:47,136 --> 00:19:47,969
total, one about the

150
00:19:47,971 --> 00:19:49,003
report and then three

151
00:19:49,005 --> 00:19:49,804
substantive meetings

152
00:19:59,382 --> 00:20:00,314
through 12 or

153
00:20:00,316 --> 00:20:01,215
workforce development.

154
00:20:01,217 --> 00:20:02,316
But open up the floor

155
00:20:02,318 --> 00:20:03,284
now to discussion as

156
00:20:03,286 --> 00:20:04,318
we formulate our plan

157
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:05,519
for 2027.

158
00:20:05,521 --> 00:20:06,487
>> Yes, Mister chair,

159
00:20:06,489 --> 00:20:07,288
question about.

160
00:20:07,290 --> 00:20:08,356
>> Delegate Weber.

161
00:20:08,358 --> 00:20:09,490
>> In regards to

162
00:20:19,569 --> 00:20:21,669
where we can make a

163
00:20:21,671 --> 00:20:26,007
difference? Or focus

164
00:20:26,009 --> 00:20:27,441
on just certain, you

165
00:20:27,443 --> 00:20:28,876
know, just start off

166
00:20:28,878 --> 00:20:29,977
with certain aspects

167
00:20:39,789 --> 00:20:40,855
ranges, if we look at

168
00:20:40,857 --> 00:20:41,789
that, there's the

169
00:20:41,791 --> 00:20:42,723
health outcomes that

170
00:20:42,725 --> 00:20:43,791
we see for young men

171
00:20:43,793 --> 00:20:44,859
and boys. And then I

172
00:20:44,861 --> 00:20:45,926
also think there's an

173
00:20:45,928 --> 00:20:46,861
entire other body of

174
00:20:46,863 --> 00:20:47,962
research addressing

175
00:20:47,964 --> 00:20:49,030
men writ large,

176
00:20:49,032 --> 00:20:49,730
particularly older

177
00:20:59,642 --> 00:21:01,308
we might just, as an

178
00:21:01,310 --> 00:21:02,343
idea, bifurcate it

179
00:21:02,345 --> 00:21:03,444
into different

180
00:21:03,446 --> 00:21:04,478
classes of health

181
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,647
issues or by age,

182
00:21:06,649 --> 00:21:07,782
which I think is a

183
00:21:07,784 --> 00:21:09,216
pretty neutral

184
00:21:09,218 --> 00:21:09,617
denominator. But

185
00:21:19,595 --> 00:21:20,594
>> Somebody else was

186
00:21:20,596 --> 00:21:21,128
going first.

187
00:21:21,130 --> 00:21:21,796
>> No, Senator.

188
00:21:21,798 --> 00:21:22,797
>> So I think we have

189
00:21:22,799 --> 00:21:24,598
what do we have four

190
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:25,066
secretaries that are

191
00:21:25,068 --> 00:21:26,534
sitting on this. I

192
00:21:26,536 --> 00:21:27,568
think it'd be awesome

193
00:21:27,570 --> 00:21:29,403
to just have each one

194
00:21:39,682 --> 00:21:40,214
each bucket one

195
00:21:40,216 --> 00:21:41,916
education, one health,

196
00:21:41,918 --> 00:21:44,852
one workforce, and

197
00:21:44,854 --> 00:21:45,953
then one public

198
00:21:45,955 --> 00:21:47,721
safety.

199
00:21:47,723 --> 00:21:48,722
>> Yeah, I think

200
00:21:48,724 --> 00:21:49,757
that's a that makes a

201
00:21:59,602 --> 00:22:00,534
and I think that

202
00:22:00,536 --> 00:22:01,602
would be an excellent

203
00:22:01,604 --> 00:22:02,470
way to approach the

204
00:22:02,472 --> 00:22:03,904
work.

205
00:22:03,906 --> 00:22:04,405
>> Outstanding. Well,

206
00:22:04,407 --> 00:22:05,139
it sounds like K

207
00:22:05,141 --> 00:22:06,006
through 12 is

208
00:22:06,008 --> 00:22:06,974
certainly going to

209
00:22:06,976 --> 00:22:08,075
make it onto the onto

210
00:22:08,077 --> 00:22:09,043
the list. That's

211
00:22:09,045 --> 00:22:09,910
great. Anybody else,

212
00:22:19,422 --> 00:22:20,488
I'd love for us to

213
00:22:20,490 --> 00:22:21,589
continue looking at,

214
00:22:21,591 --> 00:22:22,289
especially within

215
00:22:22,291 --> 00:22:22,990
healthcare

216
00:22:22,992 --> 00:22:23,491
apprenticeships, that

217
00:22:23,493 --> 00:22:25,493
there's a lot of.

218
00:22:25,495 --> 00:22:25,993
Thankfully, because

219
00:22:25,995 --> 00:22:26,961
of the amount of

220
00:22:26,963 --> 00:22:28,028
large veteran

221
00:22:28,030 --> 00:22:28,762
population, military

222
00:22:28,764 --> 00:22:29,230
individuals that

223
00:22:39,175 --> 00:22:41,008
those apprenticeships

224
00:22:41,010 --> 00:22:41,742
current. Currently,

225
00:22:41,744 --> 00:22:42,776
Jackie Delegate

226
00:22:42,778 --> 00:22:43,911
Jackie Glass does an

227
00:22:43,913 --> 00:22:44,578
incredible amount of

228
00:22:44,580 --> 00:22:45,846
work on our compacts

229
00:22:45,848 --> 00:22:46,881
and making sure that

230
00:22:46,883 --> 00:22:47,815
when individuals come

231
00:22:47,817 --> 00:22:48,916
and retire or leave

232
00:22:59,095 --> 00:23:00,895
we're expanding the,

233
00:23:00,897 --> 00:23:02,997
the, the

234
00:23:02,999 --> 00:23:04,064
opportunities for our

235
00:23:04,066 --> 00:23:04,465
individuals, our

236
00:23:04,467 --> 00:23:06,600
young men that, that

237
00:23:06,602 --> 00:23:07,301
have health care

238
00:23:07,303 --> 00:23:08,035
experience no matter

239
00:23:08,037 --> 00:23:08,836
that's, you know, if

240
00:23:08,838 --> 00:23:09,803
they're a doctor or

241
00:23:19,182 --> 00:23:20,581
those individuals do

242
00:23:20,583 --> 00:23:21,348
separate or retire,

243
00:23:21,350 --> 00:23:22,082
that we're making

244
00:23:22,084 --> 00:23:22,816
sure that they can

245
00:23:22,818 --> 00:23:23,817
quickly transition

246
00:23:23,819 --> 00:23:24,919
their healthcare

247
00:23:24,921 --> 00:23:25,719
experience over to

248
00:23:25,721 --> 00:23:28,522
the private sector.

249
00:23:28,524 --> 00:23:29,557
>> I think it's a

250
00:23:39,702 --> 00:23:40,367
about getting more

251
00:23:40,369 --> 00:23:42,570
men into heal jobs.

252
00:23:42,572 --> 00:23:44,138
So it may portend

253
00:23:44,140 --> 00:23:45,439
that we can do two

254
00:23:45,441 --> 00:23:46,507
health with one

255
00:23:46,509 --> 00:23:47,608
health, perhaps also

256
00:23:47,610 --> 00:23:48,676
bleeding over into,

257
00:23:48,678 --> 00:23:49,710
well, forgive the pun,

258
00:23:59,055 --> 00:24:00,187
Chair. I, I had

259
00:24:00,189 --> 00:24:00,921
actually turned my

260
00:24:00,923 --> 00:24:01,455
light back off

261
00:24:01,457 --> 00:24:02,756
because my colleagues

262
00:24:02,758 --> 00:24:03,591
covered a lot of what

263
00:24:03,593 --> 00:24:04,358
I was going to.

264
00:24:04,360 --> 00:24:05,426
>> I'm sure you have

265
00:24:05,428 --> 00:24:06,393
no shortage of

266
00:24:06,395 --> 00:24:07,261
comments though, so

267
00:24:07,263 --> 00:24:07,661
please proceed.

268
00:24:07,663 --> 00:24:09,196
>> So I'll just add

269
00:24:19,342 --> 00:24:20,374
media, health and

270
00:24:20,376 --> 00:24:21,375
education. So I look

271
00:24:21,377 --> 00:24:21,775
forward to the

272
00:24:21,777 --> 00:24:23,611
discussion. Thank you.

273
00:24:23,613 --> 00:24:25,412
>> Delegate McGuire.

274
00:24:25,414 --> 00:24:26,447
>> Thank you, Mr.

275
00:24:26,449 --> 00:24:27,281
Chair. My comment

276
00:24:27,283 --> 00:24:28,415
would have been a lot

277
00:24:28,417 --> 00:24:29,416
better if I followed

278
00:24:29,418 --> 00:24:29,917
Delegate Fagan's, but

279
00:24:39,095 --> 00:24:40,861
the workforce and

280
00:24:40,863 --> 00:24:42,096
shortage of nurses,

281
00:24:42,098 --> 00:24:43,364
and we walked by a

282
00:24:43,366 --> 00:24:44,431
classroom of about 40

283
00:24:44,433 --> 00:24:45,065
students in there,

284
00:24:45,067 --> 00:24:46,066
and I think three

285
00:24:46,068 --> 00:24:47,434
were male, which was

286
00:24:47,436 --> 00:24:48,302
kind of shocking to

287
00:24:48,304 --> 00:24:49,470
me, although not that

288
00:24:59,749 --> 00:25:01,315
And if we can fill it,

289
00:25:01,317 --> 00:25:02,316
then that would be

290
00:25:02,318 --> 00:25:03,350
great. So I agree

291
00:25:03,352 --> 00:25:04,251
with Delegate Higgins

292
00:25:04,253 --> 00:25:05,252
and where he's going

293
00:25:05,254 --> 00:25:05,753
on that workforce

294
00:25:05,755 --> 00:25:07,855
development aspect.

295
00:25:07,857 --> 00:25:08,589
>> Excellent. Does

296
00:25:08,591 --> 00:25:09,089
anyone else seek to

297
00:25:19,568 --> 00:25:20,601
member of the public

298
00:25:20,603 --> 00:25:21,902
online know any

299
00:25:21,904 --> 00:25:22,736
member of the public

300
00:25:22,738 --> 00:25:23,704
here present seek to

301
00:25:23,706 --> 00:25:24,605
be recognized? Please

302
00:25:24,607 --> 00:25:40,254
make your way up.

303
00:25:40,256 --> 00:25:41,322
Thank you so much for

304
00:25:41,324 --> 00:25:42,256
coming. Just please

305
00:25:42,258 --> 00:25:43,257
state your name and

306
00:25:43,259 --> 00:25:44,258
who you're with. And

307
00:25:44,260 --> 00:25:45,259
Madam Clerk, if you

308
00:25:45,261 --> 00:25:46,393
can put a two minute

309
00:25:46,395 --> 00:25:47,361
clock on there, just

310
00:25:47,363 --> 00:25:48,362
because we have some

311
00:25:48,364 --> 00:25:49,330
folks that need to

312
00:25:59,308 --> 00:26:00,274
spoke at this

313
00:26:00,276 --> 00:26:00,774
commission last month,

314
00:26:00,776 --> 00:26:01,542
I spoke about the

315
00:26:01,544 --> 00:26:02,343
importance of

316
00:26:02,345 --> 00:26:02,710
prevention of

317
00:26:02,712 --> 00:26:03,410
reaching people

318
00:26:03,412 --> 00:26:04,278
before crisis. And

319
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:04,778
after sitting through

320
00:26:04,780 --> 00:26:05,813
another one of these

321
00:26:05,815 --> 00:26:06,413
conversations. I keep

322
00:26:06,415 --> 00:26:07,414
coming back to the

323
00:26:07,416 --> 00:26:08,282
same question,

324
00:26:08,284 --> 00:26:09,283
because we're doing a

325
00:26:19,795 --> 00:26:20,794
absolutely do need to

326
00:26:20,796 --> 00:26:22,396
invest in the next

327
00:26:22,398 --> 00:26:23,464
generation. But there

328
00:26:23,466 --> 00:26:24,465
are many. There are

329
00:26:24,467 --> 00:26:25,466
many who are already

330
00:26:25,468 --> 00:26:25,899
here, struggling,

331
00:26:25,901 --> 00:26:26,467
already falling

332
00:26:26,469 --> 00:26:27,067
through the cracks.

333
00:26:27,069 --> 00:26:27,901
And you drive down

334
00:26:27,903 --> 00:26:28,736
whole street. You see

335
00:26:28,738 --> 00:26:29,770
that there's actually

336
00:26:39,115 --> 00:26:40,748
who were in trauma,

337
00:26:40,750 --> 00:26:41,448
people with living

338
00:26:41,450 --> 00:26:42,583
with disabilities. So

339
00:26:42,585 --> 00:26:43,317
yes, how do we

340
00:26:43,319 --> 00:26:44,284
prepare boys to

341
00:26:44,286 --> 00:26:45,419
become healthy men?

342
00:26:45,421 --> 00:26:46,520
But how do we keep

343
00:26:46,522 --> 00:26:47,488
the men that we

344
00:26:47,490 --> 00:26:48,422
already have from

345
00:26:48,424 --> 00:26:48,856
falling apart? And

346
00:26:48,858 --> 00:26:49,723
why don't why aren't

347
00:26:59,835 --> 00:27:00,734
if we need, what we

348
00:27:00,736 --> 00:27:01,802
need is evidence. If

349
00:27:01,804 --> 00:27:02,770
we need an outcome

350
00:27:02,772 --> 00:27:03,837
metrics to determine

351
00:27:03,839 --> 00:27:04,505
where preventative

352
00:27:04,507 --> 00:27:05,973
peer support belongs

353
00:27:05,975 --> 00:27:06,807
and whether it works,

354
00:27:06,809 --> 00:27:07,841
let me help you build

355
00:27:07,843 --> 00:27:08,842
that evidence. If we

356
00:27:08,844 --> 00:27:09,810
need the data to

357
00:27:19,855 --> 00:27:20,788
and where investment

358
00:27:20,790 --> 00:27:22,189
is needed. Because we

359
00:27:22,191 --> 00:27:22,923
cannot keep calling

360
00:27:22,925 --> 00:27:23,791
it intervention. When

361
00:27:23,793 --> 00:27:25,426
we stabilize someone,

362
00:27:25,428 --> 00:27:26,160
return them to the

363
00:27:26,162 --> 00:27:27,261
same gaps in support,

364
00:27:27,263 --> 00:27:28,095
and then act

365
00:27:28,097 --> 00:27:28,562
surprised when they

366
00:27:28,564 --> 00:27:29,329
cycle back into

367
00:27:39,074 --> 00:27:40,007
health, I think

368
00:27:40,009 --> 00:27:40,874
they'll probably be

369
00:27:40,876 --> 00:27:41,909
front and center. And

370
00:27:41,911 --> 00:27:43,410
what we look at, I

371
00:27:43,412 --> 00:27:44,478
acknowledged in the

372
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:45,546
executive summary on

373
00:27:45,548 --> 00:27:46,547
page six of the

374
00:27:46,549 --> 00:27:47,548
report that while we

375
00:27:47,550 --> 00:27:48,549
could have looked at

376
00:27:48,551 --> 00:27:49,550
health this year, it

377
00:27:59,895 --> 00:28:00,794
given the truncated

378
00:28:00,796 --> 00:28:02,095
year. But certainly

379
00:28:02,097 --> 00:28:03,163
health is very

380
00:28:03,165 --> 00:28:04,298
important to us in

381
00:28:04,300 --> 00:28:05,299
our hearts and minds.

382
00:28:05,301 --> 00:28:06,366
And so that will be

383
00:28:06,368 --> 00:28:07,367
certainly a focus of

384
00:28:07,369 --> 00:28:08,435
next year, as you've

385
00:28:08,437 --> 00:28:09,369
just heard. So we

386
00:28:19,315 --> 00:28:20,147
individuals from the

387
00:28:20,149 --> 00:28:20,781
Veterans Department

388
00:28:20,783 --> 00:28:22,282
within Virginia,

389
00:28:22,284 --> 00:28:22,683
specifically

390
00:28:22,685 --> 00:28:24,451
Commissioner Maxwell,

391
00:28:24,453 --> 00:28:25,452
myself, and many of

392
00:28:25,454 --> 00:28:25,953
the colleagues. After

393
00:28:25,955 --> 00:28:26,920
we had a veterans

394
00:28:26,922 --> 00:28:27,888
event, he sat down

395
00:28:27,890 --> 00:28:29,456
and asked us, what do

396
00:28:39,969 --> 00:28:41,001
of the things we do

397
00:28:41,003 --> 00:28:42,102
need here in Virginia

398
00:28:42,104 --> 00:28:43,070
is a better

399
