And then you're going to find a partner for that.

So how do you figure out what's key for you and kind of inspecting or investigating the right partner at the right time is going to be very key.

Yeah, sure.

I think one of the final kind of takeaways I would give on the ASC side of things is, you know, understand that you have power and you have value that's very hard to match because what we can do in an ASC is,

versus a hospital or a larger tertiary care center is so valuable.

Employers want it.

So going out and providing that education to employers to make sure they're well aware of the things that you guys can provide is key.

Making sure you don't give that up to the payers, that power and that value you have, because the payers are going to try to diminish what we do as an ASC.

So

You know, bringing in the medical director for the, you know, Blue Cross plan on your state, you know, talking to UnitedHealthcare, trying to get more collaboration through the payers is going to be a big deal.

And I think extremely important in your success.

So just recognizing that what you do is extremely valuable.

It's a huge part of our business.

opportunity to bend the cost curve of health care just in general.

So making sure you're informed, you know, you're reading Becker's, doing the things, you know, that continue to educate you as an ASC administrator or owner is very essential.

So I would just encourage people, you know, to be informed, be on top of the information and know exactly what you can provide to the employer group, to the insurance, to all those, you know, stakeholders is going to be a very big thing to keep track of.

Thank you.

Appreciate it.
