Get your message/spin out first is part of the playbook. Exhibit A being Barr's spinning of the Mueller Report.

I think it's based on a theory that first impressions carry the most weight.

And some mostly white hospital staff. A vaguely Hispanic/Mediterranean looking male and a Chinese lady amongst a sea of white Midwestern faces does not represent the diversity I see in most hospitals.
And anyone can put on scrubs to pose in a picture.

at 21 seconds in, he is standing, with his arms and hands more in front of his thighs, and is leaning forward, which lifts make him do.

A wide-open Western town? Or were these just the few patients who (or whose parents) agreed to meet him.

That one patient looks VERY young. Do they know they're being used in a campaign video? I can't stomach the video again and maybe it's a pic I'm remembering, but were the folks sitting in chairs patients or visitors? Are they OK with being used in a campaign video?
