I just wanna thank you for your work on pediatric CPAP.
1:21:03
I know you're really trying your best with the resources that you have, and and and I wanna be supportive to that as well as the as the baby box program.
1:21:13
I think there's something to be said about the universal free lunch model and how just making something available to everyone sort of, you know, will level the playing field as much as possible.
1:21:24
I think that's important.
1:21:25
And and and I know there are a lot many, many mothers in this council, and maybe some of them are are experts.
1:21:31
But I think as you're starting out, as I've learned, you feel like you don't know what you're doing.
1:21:38
So support is really, really helpful, especially when it comes from the wonderful professionals inside of health and hospitals.
1:21:46
And Bellevue is number one, so I'm just gonna say it.
1:21:49
It's great.
1:21:51
And I'll I'll ask about I'll ask about skilled nursing facilities in a second.
1:21:57
But, you know, just to focus on Bellevue, I I have to bring up that we're losing a hospital just down the street from Bellevue.
