"when I look at a feasibility study and there's an entire paragraph that says, you know, the mobile outreach team is the service line with the least amount of billable revenue associated given the target population of the service line, and then there's a question at the end about operational impacts if additional grant funding isn't made available. I have questions about sustainability when it sounds like we're shifting harder into that mobile outreach model."

From the transcript

I just want to put that on the record. No, I absolutely appreciate that, and I'm not at all denigrating the services or what this looks like for our community. I think from my standpoint, when I look at a feasibility study and there's an entire paragraph that says, you know, the mobile outreach team is the service line with the least amount of billable revenue associated given the target population of the service line, and then there's a question at the end about operational impacts if additional grant funding isn't made available. I have questions about sustainability when it sounds like we're shifting harder into that mobile outreach model. It has nothing at all to do with whether or not I think this is an outstanding project or provider or something that our community desperately needs.
