Thank you, President Lee, members of the board. I'm Michael Elliot. I'm the executive director of Valley Health Foundation, and I come here today with two things.
The first is my thanks. My thanks for taking decisive action, just like this county took decisive action to save three hospitals, just like this county took decisive action to vaccinate 1.8 million citizens who live here against the CO 19 virus. I thank you now for taking decisive action against this disastrous federal budget that is going to eviscerate our public health system and put every resident in this community at risk.
And the second thing I bring is my commitment. And I know that there are hundreds and thousands of people like me that are going to work hard and fight to protect the health and safety of every resident in this community. And I thank you for leading the way.
