Hello.

0:19:20

My name is Janelle Burton.

0:19:21

Nice to see you.

0:19:23

I would 1st first, I'd like to say, we very much appreciated health and hospitals.

0:19:28

You know, my staff had a chance to go through the report that was generated by the committee.

0:19:33

And It's reassuring from our standpoint that we are communicating and people are following the vast numbers that are transacting out enough to help and hospital's ledger.

0:19:45

So I I do wanna say, you know, thank you for that.

0:19:48

Our numbers, for the most part, you know, do in fact, tie out.

0:19:52

An answer to your question, indirect is always a a component of you know, the reimbursement that we get from the city.

0:20:01

It's really intended to cover our administrative costs.

0:20:05

And any dollar that we don't use for that purpose, we we give back to the city, or we will use, you know, for the program.

0:20:13

We're very sensitive to that.

0:20:14

But the indirect rate is really kind of a a common, you know, grant funding mechanism to cover the cost of our staff, and I'll do overhead answers.
