Quotes

 

“Having those partnerships will allow us to be connected with what is important, which is the benefit to the population and practitioners.” 

 

“We can reduce the costs of doing research by partnering with businesses.” 

 

“We chose together with the company, 14 counties where we randomly assigned half of them that would receive intervention, and the others would wait, and we evaluated for 2 years.” 

 

“The aims were increased quality and access, and decreased inequities.” 

 

“We identified that their need was access to care.”

 

“We were providing care based on the risk of decay.”

 

“It is not so simple to achieve. It is logical, but it is not simple."
