Gentle ambient music plays throughout.
A still photo shows a man, Brent, smiling and looking at the camera. Then, Grace and her husband Jeb sit interviewing on their living room couch.
GRACE: He just was full of life. He just loved – he could talk to anybody, like this one.
She gestures toward Jeb.
GRACE: He was tenacious, he was…
JEB: Passionate.
GRACE: Passionate.

ONSCREEN TEXT: Dr. Jeb Teichman
Former Chief Medical Officer
UHC Community Plan of Kentucky
JEB: We knew Brent was sick that week. He called and talked to me after he had been sick for about four or five days. Classic influenza symptoms. That Saturday I talked to him, he was worse, and I sent him for care. I even, while Brent was there in the office, I talked with the physician that saw him. And he actually sound – Brent sounded better; the physicians had a good plan. And just a few hours later, Brent passed away.

Jeb interviews:
JEB: I live and breathe the mission of UnitedHealth Care, helping people live healthier lives. I did it for twenty-six years on a one-on-one basis, and now I get to do it for an entire membership. That’s my mission, that’s my passion.
Jeb and Grace stroll hand-in-hand through a green space, walking their dog, as Jeb’s voice narrates over.
JEB: I want to talk to the medical community, providers. I want to impress upon them how important it is to recognize influenza, or SARS-CoV-2. Take it seriously.
Sitting on the couch, Grace wipes a tear from her eye.
JEB: You need to protect yourself, and you protect your family as well.
Pink flowers adorn a vine that twists up a garden trellis. Jeb and Grace walk across a wide lawn toward a brick suburban house.
JEB: There’s a lot of people walking down the path that we’re walking down now and having to deal with an unspeakable loss. And it all could be prevented with a needle.
Jeb’s eyes glisten as he speaks from the couch. Then, him and Grace hug outside their house, and the screen fades to white.
Three blue lines swirl onto a white slide and form the blue u-shaped UnitedHealthcare logo. The logo is replaced with blue text:
