We hear daily about the challenges you face, from patients and communities at risk to increased need for care and rapid changes in the organization of practices. So, as we near the end of 2025, I want to take a moment to recognize the incredible work that you are each doing across the country. Thank you for remaining the cornerstone of health care, adapting thoughtfully while never losing sight of what is important.
