A diverse group of six healthcare professionals and administrators are gathered around a laptop in a modern meeting room. On the left, a man in a dark top and a person in blue scrubs look towards the center. In the middle, a blonde woman in a grey blazer and a woman in a purple scrub top are smiling and looking at the laptop screen. On the right, a woman in a white doctor's coat with a stethoscope around her neck is speaking and looking at the screen, while a man in a white lab coat stands over the group, looking on. A large screen in the background displays a bar chart.
