| 0:00.0 | I'm Sam Slayton, CEO and co-owner of Sante Center for Healing. |
| 0:03.4 | We're celebrating 30 years of transforming lives. |
| 0:06.3 | Every day, families call us in crisis, and every day we show them that recovery is possible. |
| 0:11.6 | If you or someone you love is struggling, Sante is here for you right now. |
| 0:15.3 | Please reach out at SanteCenter.com. |
| 0:18.0 | Right here, since we're the baseball show of of record and we'll be on an airplane in two |
| 0:22.2 | days flying to Surprise Arizona for our annual trip to Ranger Spring training. We've got to talk |
