Lynn C. Schulman

I wanted to ask, so my understanding from the commissioner for the Department for the Aging that they want to work with you on this, so I presume that you're going to be doing that.

Dr. Alistair Martin

Absolutely.

Dr. Alistair Martin

We've met several times with Commissioner Lisa Scott McKenzie.

Lynn C. Schulman

Okay, good.

Lynn C. Schulman

How are you promoting this?

Lynn C. Schulman

How are you marketing this, marketing the services that you have?

Dr. Bronson

Well, we work very, very closely with our wide array of community partners.

Dr. Bronson

This programming is really going out into the community to support those service providers, clinical, non-clinical providers who know the needs of these communities and work closely with them to provide services directly.

Dr. Bronson

So we do a lot of work through our planning bodies, our advisory groups, to ensure that all of our community partners are aware of current and upcoming programming so that they can take advantage.

Lynn C. Schulman

Okay.

Lynn C. Schulman

I have a lot more questions, but I want to give my colleagues an opportunity to ask questions, so I'll come back on second round.

Lynn C. Schulman

Okay, great.

Lynn C. Schulman

Okay, we'll start with the Majority Leader, Bray, you followed by Councilmember Narcisse.
