That’d be great, Cissy. Should I write something specific for the larger community? There are some assumptions in that piece (like, you’re from Vermont and know what the Savoy Theater is!). If you think it works fine as is, though, that’s fine too – you’d have a better eye for that than I would.

The video is a very moving account of Kim's work screening her patients at the Plainfield Health Center for ACEs, and their responses to the screening.
