names, but I mean, way back in the eighties you were in that Zephyrhills hospital that my family gave a lot of money for that hospital to to do and there's been a lot of people getting good care there. And not only in fact that you're one hospital and we have other hospitals that All the hospitals are worried about the next hospital that comes in because they're gonna take their patients but I I look at it a different way. 'Cause the fact of being several hospitals in our county and community is a fact
that the benefactor of that is our citizens of Pasco County because no matter where you go, you get the best care you can get here in Pasco County. So I appreciate everything y'all doing for those terms. So Jack you want to say something.
