The Department of Health's conditional approval only requires that Mount Sinai run the 247 Urgent Care Clinic for 3 months following the formal closure of Beth Israel.

Do you think that that time frame is sufficient?

We have our virtual express care, that is 247, to accommodate once the, you know, if and when the Beth Israel Urgent Care does close, and our facilities will accommodate any inpatient increase in volumes.
