That's the one thing I really love about it. Excellent. Thank you very much. And how do you stay supported or connected with your community and care providers during the summer month? What I mean is what role do they play? Um, well, I see, I see quite a few doctors for different things. So I, I stay on top of, um, my appointments, um, and communicate with my doctors. I make sure that my doctors communicate with each other, um, especially when it gets around the summer months, because that's where people lose track. And I have actually asked my primary care doctor if there was some way that they ever think about or could they talk to someone about starting like a, I would call it like like, um, uh, one, um, summer means on summer mean, summer means stay on track. So basically it would be someone that would reach out that's dedicated to reaching out to patients to make sure that, Hey, you know, you're due for this or you're due for that. And they have that in your patient portals, but a lot of people don't pay attention to the patient portals. Some patients don't have patient portals. So it's always good to have a backup because there are some people, I'm very much an advocate for myself and for healthcare and for healthy living. So you don't have people that have that motivation or that have people that remind them because a lot of people don't want to go to the doctors. They don't want to deal with it. Some people say, Hey, I don't feel like there's anything wrong with me. Why should I go to the doctors? Why should I call the doctors? I'm fine. I'm not, I don't want to introduce any problems to myself. you are if you're not keeping up with your healthcare. So I would say, you know, just, you know, have some type of programs or volunteers. LifeBridge has millions of volunteers. Have the volunteers on different shifts, call patients and say, hey, you're due for blah, blah, blah, you're due for this. And, you know, so they can be a reminder for them and let, encourage them, you know, let them know how important it is. Have someone send out, send out letters to pay.
