But then once it was open, started seeing a lot of other populations: not just our own hospital population, but a lot more just community members calling with concerns about driving.

So we take that science and we apply it to something that’s very messy and chaotic, like a human being or a community or a population. I think it started off from a need, a hunger in the community.

And then second, I was someone who was a Parrot Head for years and years and it was just amazing how the community came together. That was really the theme song of how the community came together. There were rules a little bit, because the healthcare system likes to have some level of consistency as people move in.

If you have 100 beds in the building, 20 of them today might be rehabbed people who are there. Because when you’re on a SNF stay, hospice is also a part A. And we have amazing attendance.

And this seems very basic, but try it with your insurance agent or your pastor, you know, or your banker at 03:00 in the morning. You know, in other places, in most rural communities, the dead are laid out in their own beds, which is very often where they died. And I’ve had since 1974 as the only funeral director in the town.
