Response from Dr. Sims

My Viewpoint was intended to call attention to a problem and inspire us to act with more alacrity. I welcome comments and opinions because this is the very essence of a true dialogue. However, there is still work to be done because the percentages reported in my article are current. While change may still take time, it must be intentional.
