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.
