Bongiorno from Bellagio!

I am sorry to miss the CORE Group Spring Meeting and being with all of you to discuss Demystifying & Using Data for Community Health Impact. But as you can see, I am in quite an idyllic setting for work and contemplation.

Bette Gebrian and I are writing about using data to improve community health in rural Haiti…so we are with you in spirit.

Wishing you a successful and productive meeting and a wonderful time!
