Yep. Right, right, right, right. So I remember that. And she works there now. And thank you so much for both of you. I'm really looking forward to the insights that you provide us on caregiving and caregiving burnout. So, all right. This is what's really struck me. And all of us have been in the health care field a long, long time. And are we seeing the need for caregiving increase?

And if that's the case, what might it be from? Is it people are living longer? Is it they have more complicated diseases? Am I right in assuming that we're seeing more of that? And if so, why? Go ahead, Terry, take it away.

And I'll just, for lack of a better title, a family caregiver. Like if all of a sudden somebody has, God forbid, you know, put in some kind of a chronic disease that they have to deal with, then all of a sudden there's almost an immediate burden that's put on some family member. So can you talk a little bit about the distinctions between professional and family caregiving? Go ahead, Lisa.
