The session this morning was very interesting. It is always stimulating when you get a group of people together, each of whom could teach the lesson, and then ask them to "share." 

If 40 leaders are going to influence 140,000 providers, we will need a text book which will largely be 40 Story Books, each of which is easily accessible, without cost, and each of which says, "We Did It," "Here is How," and "You can do it, too."

SETMA's Story Book is found at www.jameslhollymd.com.  It is free of any cost; it documents everything we have done, and it proves that anyone can do it. We started with four doctors, twenty years ago.  The following are links to parts of our story, which relate to our discussions this morning:
