But today I'm here to say we need you. We need you to play a unique role as guardians of our nation's health. We need you to help us meet the challenges facing the world of health care. A world you are about to step into. Childhood immunization rates are at an all-time high.
Infant mortality is at an all-time low.
Every day, we're finding new and better ways to fight disease and untimely death. This is good news for America. But not for every American. Because in too many areas, our nation is still two nations, divided when it comes to health. Divided along the lines of race.
