running outpatient services for a hospital.

And I saw it go from where we went and had zero outpatients to like 70 a day.

And we were pushing people out and they were sick.

And I'm like, oh my gosh, these people aren't ready to go home.

Because you know, your stay in the hospital is not very long these days.

So I knew that we needed a safe place to land.

I could almost paint a picture of this.

It's like people go in the hospital and it's a slide completely out the door.

fairly quickly and we deal with people that are very

just starstruck by a new diagnosis or post-operatively trying to quickly, you know, get back on their feet.

And that's where we come in and we help them.

And I honestly did not know what I did until I started using it for, first, my brother-in-law that died of pancreatic cancer when he was 38.

We had nurses on with him.

So we have a fair number of hospice patients.

And unfortunately, they seem to get younger and younger and more and more.

Yeah.

And then I used our services for my parents.

And my mom was in the hospital quite a lot.

I put nurses on with her there because I wanted to know that somebody was sitting right beside her at night.

And if anything went crazy, that they would call me and I could run back to the hospital.
