Hi.
0:41:15
Thank you for having me having us today.
0:41:17
I'm Liz McNulty.

I've been a nurse at MSK for the past 30 years, and I have led and cared for led nursing teams and cared for our patients really through lots of change in those 30 years.
0:41:29
And what we're seeing now is really an increase as you've heard from both Doctor.
0:41:35
Vicar's and Doctor.
0:41:36
Dreppen, an increase in the number of patients who are requiring our care.
0:41:40
The pavilion is really what we need right now.
0:41:43
To really answer the call that we are being asked.
0:41:48
The projected surge in cancer cases through 2050 will affect all of our patients, but especially our youngest and our oldest patients.
0:41:57
And it really requires us to scale up our resources, specifically our treatment facility.
0:42:03
And the surge is being felt now as you've heard about our census capacities with the number of cancer patients for acquiring surgeries and acute care and inpatient setting.
0:42:13
We really need to begin the work on the pavilion as soon as we can.
0:42:16
So thank you for your time.
0:42:17
I'm going to turn it back to Doctor.
0:42:18
Driven.
