In your preeminent questions, I know you indicated not having any prior board experience.
0:16:52
I'm not sure you've been manager with direct reports, which is fine.
0:16:56
We like we we're proud of the job you're doing.
0:16:58
You're doing a very good job, Phil.
0:17:00
But the position which you're being considered as a board of largest public hospital system in the country.
0:17:05
Can you talk about your skills and experience?
0:17:06
And do you think we'll help you make you a a good fit for this, including to fulfill the fiduciary and managerial duties of being on the board?

0:17:15
Sure.
0:17:15
I yeah.
0:17:16
As you said, I I've not been on a on a corporate board or in a very high level of a managerial position, although I'd say in my daily practice, in my clinical work I do, I have gained a lot of administrative experience sort of collaborating with and managing together a lot of diverse a lot of diverse specialties, a lot of diverse colleagues that come from different fields in order to accomplish a common goal, which is to take care of our patients.
0:17:51
And so I think that that would be one of my assets as well as just the perspective of a clinician of somebody that's delivered care for stand in India in the HCC system to to other patients that we serve.
0:18:07
And so I think that I would bring that perspective in pertise.
0:18:13
So I would always have in in mind the the people that that I, you know, have had experience taking care of as as a clinician at at an HHC facility.
