Margaret Flinter: It really has gone by quickly and it's been a lot of fun and hopefully very informative. Mark Masselli: I find the conversations we are having with health care innovators having me go back and rethink some of the ways we are providing care at the health center. Margaret Flinter: You are right. And on so many diferent many levels it really is about the innovations that are transforming the way we deliver care. You can just feel the profound efect that these redesigns are having from reducing wait times to changing the way we think about treating patients all improving the quality of the care we give and we receive. Mark Masselli: I am very excited about this but I am still restless about the time it takes to find out about these changes. Hopefully, we are adding to the body of knowledge for providers and consumers about better ways to care for our community. Margaret Flinter: Well, we are trying, and we could not do this without the help of our producer Lucy Nalpathanchil. Mark Masselli: Thanks Lucy. One of the high points of doing this show is hearing from listeners from all over the country.
