109.So, I'd very much like to see us begin to really seize this as an opportunity to get this into our medical records.
所以，我将非常欣喜的看到 我们能真正的抓住这个机会将居住史也涵盖在医疗记录中。
110.So, with that I'll leave you that in my particular view of view of health, geography always matters.
所以我将带给你们 我个人对健康的看法： 就是地理总是问题所在。
111.And I believe that geographic information can make both you and me very healthy. Thank you.
