But, yes, we passed this bill to become primary care providers in Utah. So we're the first in the nation to make this happen. It is groundbreaking legislative support. We had a hundred percent unanimous support from both the Senate and the House. But now that we're primary care, we're pushing out marketing strategies across the state of Utah to teach people, you don't need to go see a physician first. You know, you need you can go directly to a physical therapist for anything, pain or injury, and they can take care of your needs there. And as the entry point to care, it's beautiful because around 75% of people get better with PT. So we can take care of the big majority. And then we are better stewards at referring out where we are telling the patients the next step is this. And we're going to refer you to this clinic. If you're not improving in our clinic right.
