This was an experience a lot of people had. Some of us were able to dial in with our phones and catch the end of the presentation, as it was only just under 10 minutes total. I was able to ask over the phone for a contact email where we could send questions about the program, and they said we could reach out at mdhhs-covidtestingsupport@michigan.gov<mailto:mdhhs-covidtestingsupport@michigan.gov>. There was no recording, but they said they are happy to distribute the slideshow presentation I emailed and asked for a copy of the slides. When they are sent to me, I am happy to pass them along to who is interested.

Some of us were able to dial in with our phones and catch the end of the presentation, as it was only just under 10 minutes total. I was able to ask over the phone for a contact email where we could send questions about the program, and they said we could reach out at mdhhs-covidtestingsupport@michigan.gov<mailto:mdhhs-covidtestingsupport@michigan.gov>. There was no recording, but they said they are happy to distribute the slideshow presentation I emailed and asked for a copy of the slides. When they are sent to me, I am happy to pass them along to who is interested.
