Well, the BHUC is acronym for Behavioral Health Urgent Care.

And this urgent care is basically we do assessments.

And in the assessments, you're held for 23 hours.

It's all volunteer.

But also we have some places where most of the time people with mental health go to the emergency room.

And so if you go to emergency room and you are arrested or accompanied by a police officer, now that police officer must sit in the same place

emergency room with that patient for however long it takes.

And sometimes it could take up to 13 hours.

So now these police officers who were probably off five hours ago, he's still, or she is still, she's still at the hospital waiting for a clinician because at the emergency room, emergency room for mental health and emergency room for medical help.

There's a, there's a difference.

Right?

There's a difference.

And so by having our BHUC, now police officers can drop this person off and they can go home.

And then once they're assessed and there's a plan in action or the next steps, then they call the police and then they go back.

And so even if they did a crime, they get the opportunity to be evaluated if it's mental health versus just going to jail.

Right.

Having a plan assessment.

We do kids from ages four all the way to 80 year old.

And the best part about it, because a lot of the things I do is things I experience with no insurance.

So if you don't have insurance, don't matter.
