And just a quick question.
2:22:29
Even around, like, the the drop in centers, I'm hearing that in the Bronx.
2:22:33
The drop in center, I know that we switched over to the door, so we currently don't have a 24 hour drop in center in the Bronx.
2:22:38
Do you know?
2:22:39
And that would that would be switching over?
Dr. Amy Wilkerson

The door was so gracious to start up a 24 hour drop in center in the Bronx for us, and they've been working to continuously expand their hours from the time that they took the contract until now Mhmm.

The anticipated completely 24 hour date would be November 1st.
