I also would like to— an update, if possible, in either a Board Connect or next meeting on the progress of the nurses. I know there's a committee out there with the Health Foundation working, and I would like to see what they're, they're working on. I'd like to see the outcome, or at least what they're, what they're working towards. They're the ones that gave us, what, $17 million, $700,000 last year to maintain our nursing staff. So it would be very interesting to see how they're doing and what they're coming up with.
