FYI - Walmart deck in progress, I think it looks good.  They like our
"Breast Cancer Testing Day", could be a national event.  Provide any
feedback on the deck.  Eric/Hunter/Rob - if we have a review call tomorrow
I will pull you in, not sure yet.  I will check with them in the AM.

Best,

Neil

Excellent, super helpful. Good point, re Theranos - I believe Ramji has
actually tested out Theranos services at Walgreens, and this is something
we discuss from time to time.

Early draft of a discussion document, attached - input welcome. It's
designed for lots of voiceover, and to quickly get to open discussion with
their team. We will be reviewing and updating internally tomorrow morning,
and we can send a finalized pre-read Tuesday COB,

Ken
