Look Good Feel Better
Ep. 1 - Cancer Support and Wellness Services Transform Lives at Wayne HealthCare
Wayne HealthCare's commitment to community wellness shines through in this eye-opening conversation between Wellness Coordinator Robyn Feitshans and Foundation Director Lauren Henry. The duo unveils the transformative power of their expanded 10,000-square-foot Wellness Center, which has revolutionized healthcare delivery in their rural community since opening in 2021.
The heart of their mission beats strongest in specialized programs like CORE (Cardio Oncology Rehabilitation Exercise), where cancer patients find relief from treatment side effects and renewed functionality in daily life. The foundation's financial support ensures these vital services remain accessible to all, regardless of economic circumstance—a theme echoed throughout their programming landscape.
From the seven-week Stepping On fall prevention course to the Clinical Exercise program bridging rehabilitation gaps, Wayne HealthCare has crafted a comprehensive wellness ecosystem that addresses both prevention and recovery. Their approach recognizes that true healing encompasses more than just medical intervention; it requires nutritional guidance, physical strengthening, and emotional support.
Perhaps most moving is their revival of the 'Look Good Feel Better' program, addressing the often-overlooked cosmetic challenges of cancer treatment. These free workshops featuring beauty professionals, makeup kits, and wig styling restore more than appearance—they rebuild confidence and identity during life's most challenging chapter. As Robin poignantly observes, "When you look presentable or feel put together, you can have higher self-confidence." When cancer strips away hair and eyebrows, sometimes self-identity disappears too.
The foundation's involvement extends beyond these cornerstone programs to fund compression garments for lymphedema patients, discounted lung screenings, and numerous other initiatives that might otherwise remain financially out of reach for many community members.

Hi everyone. My name is Robin Fitzhands, I'm from Wayne Healthcare, I am the wellness coordinator and today I am joined by Lauren Henry from our foundation, and we're just going to discuss some different programming that we have and some upcoming opportunities. Lauren, do you want to go ahead and introduce yourself? Sure.
Speaker 2:I'm Lauren Henry. I'm the foundation director with Wayne Healthcare. I'm really excited to talk about some of our programs today. Our foundation gets to be involved with the hospital because of community donations, and so it's a lot of fun to be able to help with some of the different programs in the wellness center that we're going to talk about, our cancer programs and just very thankful that our donors make this possible for us to do. Robin, do you want to talk a little bit about the Wellness Center?
Speaker 1:Yeah, so we opened in 2021 with the Harrison addition, and so part of that was a 10,000 square foot Wellness Center. Previously we were in maybe two or three thousand square feet, so very, very tiny and in kind, of the bottom part of our, our hospital. So the fact that we expanded exponentially was awesome and then with that, we were able to incorporate a lot of new programming. One of our you know values in the wellness center, as you know and just for Wayne Health Care, is providing that quality care close to home, but then also promoting health and wellness and trying to make our patients well, and so I feel like we've really been able to do that since we've expanded and opened that new space. Go ahead.
Speaker 2:The expansion has been really neat to see. I know the old area that you're in that was much smaller. I would get to talk to patients where I was at for the foundation and it was a hike for them to even get in there to start their exercise program, especially after they'd had some heart issues and things. So the new facility is just so accessible. Wonderful different equipment that we have so accessible, wonderful different equipment that we have.
Speaker 1:I really have enjoyed seeing it flourish and blossom. Yeah, and the different components of it. You know we have one space that's full of cardio equipment. We have that middle space that's really for, you know, class time, stretching bands, weights, and then that far end for the strength training, not to mention the walking track and the turf area, which is really cool.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's been nice because you can do other things besides. You know the cardiac and pulmonary rehab. There's some other activities that they've done and bringing the trainers in and having some of the younger kids come and learn about how to stretch for sports, things like that. It's nice to have some different opportunities with the Wellness Center.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so aside from that program and we also, like you said, the sports performance program, and then we're partnering with our outpatient rehab and bringing in our physical therapists to provide a Parkinson's program for our patients. We're getting kind of creative.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm excited about some of those programs. I know we've been working on grants for evidence-based training, for the Parkinson's program, for the Tai Chi that you teach and a few of the others. So wonderful opportunities there for us to expand those as well.
Speaker 1:Yeah, absolutely. Well, let's go ahead and just talk about some of the programs, since we're getting ready to do that anyway, let's go ahead and discuss. So for those of you that don't know, I'm the wellness coordinator, like I said. So my job not only is to facilitate some of these programs, but then I get to interact with the patients as well. Lauren and I have a really cool relationship because she works in the foundation but then also provides some financial assistance for our patients so they can participate in these programs.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I always encourage anyone who's interested in these programs never to let funding stand in your way If you think you can't afford it. Many of the programs are free. Some do have a participation fee. But if you think you cannot afford it, please let us know, call myself or Robin, because we have a lot of those programs where we can help fund those and so you can still participate.
Speaker 2:I know one of the ones we do is our core program. It's the cardio oncology rehabilitation exercise program. It's a 12-week program. You come twice a week, mondays and Wednesdays in the afternoon. That one does have $25 to participate and the foundation's been helpful to be able to cover that for those who cannot afford it. And we also have some patients that can afford it and then want to donate to the foundation to help someone else in the program.
Speaker 2:But it is a great program for those who are going through cancer treatments or maybe those who are in remission or recovery. You know it helps. The program goals are to prevent and reduce the side effects of cancer treatment, to improve quality of life during and after treatment, to help with pain management and to improve functionality with the activities of daily living. We know that chemotherapy and radiation can be really hard on the body, and so patients can come into that core program and we can help with those benefits and help them get back to a better way of life. And it's just, it's hard when you have cancer and you go through things and you get very tired, and so it's our way of saying we can help you, we can get give back and we can get you in a better place than where you were during treatment.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that program's a wonderful thing that we are able to provide to our community. The Wellness Center has both nurses and respiratory therapists, as well as some exercise specialists that are part of that work with these patients, as well as some of our other programs too. What's the fee for that program? $25 for CORE Perfect, and if they can't pay that, which is fine then we do have that the foundation can step in and assist.
Speaker 1:Yes, wonderful. So, aside from the core program, another program that we provide is our stepping on program, which is a fall prevention seven week course. This one is completely free. Myself and one of our physical therapists teach this class together. We go through different components on how you can improve your confidence and be able to stay in your home and live independently for as long as you can, and then also strengthen your lower body.
Speaker 1:So if you were to trip or become unsteady, than your lower body, so if you were to trip or become unsteady, you would hopefully be able to right yourself and prevent a fall that could potentially have other consequences fractures and breaks and things. So it's an all-encompassing program. We go outside and talk about how to navigate in the community, demonstrate how to get in and out of a vehicle, up and down curbs. We go to stairs and talk about how to go up and down stairs with and without assistive devices. We do fall for you in a class and then we demonstrate how to get up from that fall in a perfect world, in a not perfect world, and then I think, from all of those components, as well as bringing in some professionals optometrists and pharmacists, it gives people a peace of mind after they leave, to know I do have this, I can be okay and they're not so fearful.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and you know our population is a little bit older in our communities so it's great to have the Stepping On program Orthopedics is a big industry in our area and being able to help those maybe they have went through surgery and they're trying to get stronger and, okay, prevent falls in the future or just prevent them all together. So that's been a great program and I know the foundation that's one of our programs as well, that we're working on some grant funding for currently with our state another one that you like, that you help out with sometimes, is our clinical exercise program.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yes, the cardiac and pulmonary rehab, the clinical exercise. So a lot of times after there's been a cardiac issue or if somebody has, you know, a pulmonary or lung disease, just trying to get back to full strength, just trying to get that heart working correctly, those lungs back to capacity, the clinical exercise program is a great program because you do have cardiac rehab right after a lot of those incidents and a lot of times insurance will pay for that portion. But they won't necessarily pay for the clinical exercise portion or continuing in rehabilitation when you still need it. But maybe you know health insurance has said you've got all of your days in and we think you should be done, and so the foundation steps in to help pay for those as well, so people can continue to get strong and breathe better. And we're really thrilled to be able to offer that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's a really nice program, not only for those who maybe not qualify for cardiac or pulmonary rehab, but it's also a nice bridge between being a sedentary lifestyle and maybe getting back into exercise. I think our staff does a really good job of orienting the patients to the machines so that they feel comfortable. I think a lot of times people are hesitant to start exercising because they think they have to go to the Y or some other gym and they get intimidated, and so our facility, I feel like, takes that part out of it and they create those relationships and feel the more at home, and our staff are really good about allowing them to be comfortable but still get the benefits of exercise.
Speaker 2:Absolutely, and I think you're right. They definitely kind of become a family in there. They really enjoy working out together. You know, some positives that we've had is we've had a donor from that who has come and said, you know, I want to help with some more equipment for you, and stepped in and helped fund some more equipment for us. So we always have blessings like that. It's really exciting to see those relationships and to see people come in, not be intimidated by the equipment, and that we have a great staff to help them learn how to do those exercise programs.
Speaker 1:Absolutely. The other day I looked out in the gym and everyone had purple on. I said what's that? Well, on Wednesdays we wear purple, or whatever day. I'm like that's so cute, it's great. So, yeah, they, they do become a family, um. So those are some of the programs that we offer Um, there's other ones that we certainly um offer to the community as well.
Speaker 1:Not only are there nurses and respiratory therapists that work in our wellness center, aside from myself, but we also have a registered dietitian. She is a certified diabetic educator phenomenal person, phenomenal educator, and she does a really good job with trying to create different kinds of programs for people to engage at different levels, and so she does a monthly diabetes wellness program, talks about a bunch of different topics related to not only diabetes but just wellness topics in general. So it's a lot of good information. That's completely free. She also does a quarterly cooking demonstration, which is also free for the community. The last one she had last week and she did a dark chocolate date cake. Very good. I don't know if you had a bite of it.
Speaker 2:I did have some. It was delicious.
Speaker 1:And then the other program that she likes to do, about twice a year I think, is called Apron Strings Kitchen Academy. This is a really cool program. She kind of developed it all on her own. It's a three week, three part class. I'm getting ready to start here, actually in March 18th, and you go through each week you talk about a different topic. So the first week I think, they talk about carbohydrates and meal planning. Then they go through the second week vegetables, beans, grains, sugar and then that third class is about heart health. But not only do you talk about the nutrition topics, but then she does a cooking demonstration one to two demonstrations a class and on top of that then you get to start exercising at the end of class. So it's kind of a three-part piece each week which is really cool.
Speaker 2:And that expansion has been really nice because the kitchen that we have, the demo kitchen, is wonderful, so people can really see how they can take these recipes home, how they can make it for themselves. You know, sometimes it's hard to prepare meals just for one or two people, and so how to portion control, how to make those healthy meals and not do such a large portion so you're not wasting food. She goes over that. Karen just does a wonderful job. She does.
Speaker 1:She explains it so well and I feel like people come away with something new each time. You know, not only does she explain how she's cooking it, she gives little tips and little tidbits or facts I guess throughout the whole presentation, and I myself have found a couple of times I'm like I didn't know that.
Speaker 2:She's great for just all kinds of diabetes awareness and education, you know. But also I know it's been a long time ago since I was pregnant, um, but I had gestational diabetes with my first child, who's now in college, and Karen was our dietician then and she was phenomenal in telling me how to eat, what to do during my pregnancy. That was kind of scary and she's just a wonderful asset for us to have at Wayne Healthcare. I agree.
Speaker 1:I agree. She can deliver the information so well and in a nonjudgmental way. She's just a great resource. Yes, you can't say enough good things about her.
Speaker 2:And I just kind of wanted to put in there. You know, if you're listening and you're hearing or seeing some programs that you're interested you want to know more about, you know you can call the Wellness Center. The Wellness Center's number at Wayne Health Care in Greenville Ohio is 937-547-5917. Or you can call Robin's number as well, which is 937-569-6504. Those are a couple phone numbers there. Our emails are all online too. At waynehealthcareorg. You can find more information to learn more, and we have so many programs available.
Speaker 1:Yes, which brings us to one of our other programs that we really wanted to highlight. It's not new, but new to us. We had this program called Look Good, feel Better, before COVID. And then, kind of right before COVID started, I think, they kind of went away or kind of dialed down some of their operations. I think they were going through some changes as well, dialed down some of their operations, I think they were going through some changes as well. And now they're back and we are glad to provide this service to our community.
Speaker 2:Yeah, very excited. It's a great partnership between our wellness center, our cancer coordinators and the foundation for funding the Look Good, feel Better program. It's to help women men and women but we do get more women in this program with cancer. We have beauty professionals. We have a licensed cosmetologist that will lead this program and will help with tips and tools while you're going through chemotherapy, going through cancer care, with skin and nail care. A lot of times your nails become very thin and brittle. Skin can become thin. How do you still moisturize? How do you apply makeup? A lot of times, as we know, you go through chemotherapy and some people will lose their hair. So we have different wigs and how to style wigs, how to do scarves and wraps and hats. Things like that are in the Look Good, feel Better program. It's an awesome program. It's free. Everyone also gets a free makeup kit. Those workshops we're going to do four of them in person this year at Wayne Health Care. So we have one coming up pretty soon on Monday March 17th, st Patty's Day, so that should be a lot of fun. We have another one that will be Monday May 19th, monday September 8th and Monday November 10th. These are all 11 to 1 at Wayne Healthcare. They'll be in our community rooms at the Harrison Street entrance. We would love to have anyone there that we can assist. That's going through cancer. It's a through cancer. It's a great program.
Speaker 2:There are flyers available. There's information on our website. We talked about waynehealthcareorg and you can go on the Look Good, feel Better website. That is how you can register and see those different workshops that we're having. There's a virtual option too. So I know a lot of times, especially like right now, you know it's March and it's chilly out and so maybe you don't want to come out yet. There is a virtual option. You can go online and sign up for the virtual. We have a special code for Wayne Healthcare and they will send that free kit to your home as well. So for any of that information, just call us at the hospital. We can help get you registered online. I know, robin, you helped register someone today.
Speaker 1:I believe. Yes, I was so excited she was asking about it and then said well, I'd like to register. I'm happy to help you. Let me get that pulled up for you. So it was very convenient, easy for her. I just asked her some questions over the phone, got her registered and now she's ready to go.
Speaker 2:We've got the makeup kits, we have mirrors, we have places in those community rooms to spread out, to have a little privacy when we do these things and learn how to apply the makeup, learn how to style the wigs, do the scarves and wraps. So you know privacy, that dignity that we want to make sure you have during this whole workshop. It's very important to us that you feel comfortable and that we can assist you Absolutely.
Speaker 1:And it's a good way for women to know hey, I'm not alone. There's other people going through the same thing, and it's almost like a support group in a way. They can talk to each other about symptoms that they're experiencing or yeah, I had that too, or this is what I did Give them tips on what worked for them. Sometimes it's you can hear it from a healthcare provider, but sometimes it's better coming from someone going through it Absolutely.
Speaker 2:And we have a lot of different information about many of our other cancer care programs, the other cancer support programs within the community that may not just be at our hospital. So we'll have all of that information for everyone at these workshops as well. But we really would love to get you registered again to have you there. We want to have a great group there that we can reach out to and help. So if you're going through cancer, if you have a loved one going through cancer, please look up the Look Good, feel Better program, lookgoodfeelbetterorg, or you can go on waynehealthcareorg. You can sign up. You can call Robin again at 937-569-6504 and sign up and we'd be happy to get you into that program. Very excited for that to take place here beginning March 17th.
Speaker 1:Yes, because, like I said, we had that before COVID. Then they kind of went away, restructured and we decided to try and continue the Look Good, feel Better program on our own with a separate name. It worked a bit and then COVID happened and you know things change. So last year, I think it was, I was doing some research, kind of looking up some different things online, and I noticed one of the other health care facilities in Ohio put out an article saying that they were starting this program back up again. I was like wait a minute.
Speaker 1:I know that program. We used to have that program. And so after doing some research, I confirmed, yes, they were up and running again, and so I kind of dug into it a little bit more. I knew this was one of our goals for our cancer program. Since we're an accredited cancer program for our healthcare facility, we have to have so many cancer program for our healthcare facility, we have to have so many resources and things for our patients and we always try to just do the best we can and, you know, keep providing new resources. So this is something I knew we were passionate about. We'd love to get back to it again. And so after I had kind of confirmed that they, yes, were going and continuing on with their mission, I came to Lauren and was like Lauren, I think maybe this could be a partnership between the wellness department and the foundation. What do you think? And we thought yes, absolutely.
Speaker 2:I have a volunteer board that is our foundation board in the community and they were very excited about it too. It was something that we knew donors would want to get behind and we knew was a gap in services in our area and when, like Robin said, when we used to have it a long time ago, it was so fulfilling and it was wonderful and we had a good group coming to it. And it was hard when COVID hit and we couldn't serve the way we had served before. So we're very thrilled and excited to bring it back and give it life and hoping that we are able to help a lot of people going through cancer treatment?
Speaker 1:I sure hope so, because it is a fantastic program. So you know, the mission of Look Good, Feel Better is really just to be able to help women not all people, but I know they target their campaign towards women to deal with those effects of cancer. Obviously, when you're going through that, that's not normal. So how do we bring some normalcy to these individuals who otherwise are not living a normal life? And one of those things I think women place a high importance on a lot of times is how they look. When you look presentable or you feel like you're put together, then you can have a little bit higher self-confidence. And so when your hair and your eyebrows and eyelashes get taken away, sometimes that self-identity and self-confidence does too. And so how do we give that back to them?
Speaker 2:Agreed. You know you always hear the saying fake it till you make it. So sometimes we all have to do that. You know, no matter how we're feeling, if you put a little extra emphasis into yourself, it changes your whole outlook of your day, and so that's what we're hoping with this as well.
Speaker 1:Absolutely. So let's kind of just tell them you back. Look good feel better is not a new thing. It started in 1989. That's kind of crazy. It actually started two years previous with a patient, one of I don't even remember the patient's name, but a doctor, oncologist doctor had noticed that this patient was so depressed that she had lost all of her hair that she wasn't even coming out of her hospital room. And so, on a whim, they kind of brought in some makeup and just kind of gave her some beauty treatment products and she had laughed for the first time in weeks. They hadn't even seen her laugh in weeks. And so they kind of thought, well, I wonder if this is a global problem. And so let's take this back to our board.
Speaker 1:So at that time Look Good Feel Better was called the Personal Care Products Council. It's changed its name a couple of times, but that's what it was and they decided, yeah, like let's do this and get some donors and things behind it. So Look Good Feel Better is one product and then the Look Good Feel Better Foundation is an arm of the Look Good Feel Better name and they are also in conjunction with the Professional Beauty Association. So between those two organizations. They represent the cosmetics and beauty industry, and then they represent the largest salon professional organizations, and so marry those two together look good, feel better, happens. And then we get all of these beautiful makeup kits that we are able to give to our patients for free. They are all non-medical, brand neutral and they've all been tested so that they all have those components of sensitive skin and things for those patients that sometimes experience those things, and it's, it's a wonderful thing yeah, and we have, you know, all varieties of shades of makeup.
Speaker 2:I would recommend, if you're interested, to go on the look good feel better website. They have some amazing videos too real quick videos shows you how to apply different things, but also just an overview of the program. And, like Robin was talking about the different patients that have went through this program, there's some testimonies on those videos and they're so heartfelt and they really talk about what they've been through, how this has helped them. I think that a lot of people can relate to this as they go through cancer treatment, so I would recommend going on that website as well and watching those videos.
Speaker 2:Very uplifting and I think it maybe takes a little of the unknown or fear out of it as well.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think those videos are beautifully done and they kind of go through the progression of the session. So it's a two hour course and we go through a variety of topics. I say we it's the volunteer from Look and Feel Better, the leader, that goes through them. But she goes through different lessons of what they're called. Called the first one, I think she talks about skin and some things to do with that and how to approach those, and then she goes through nail care and kind of does a lesson on on that piece. Then she goes through cosmetics and goes through how to apply makeup and things, and then she goes over wigs and turbans and hats and accessories and how to style those things. So it's a great program with a wonderful array of lessons. And then I think maybe not everyone experiences all those, but I feel like throughout that two hours you get at least some point of hey, I'm experiencing those symptoms. This will work for me.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yes, I'm excited to see our first group and how we can help them and I just want to. I think we just want to get in there and say hey, you're not alone. There's a lot of things we can help you with. We have all these different cancer care programs, but a lot of times they're really focused on your treatment. Those types of things not necessarily some of the cosmetic things, not necessarily some of the uplifting and fun things we can do to help make you feel like yourself, because when you go through chemotherapy you don't feel like yourself, and so how do we bring you back to yourself and, you know, make you feel like that beautiful, empowered person you are.
Speaker 1:Absolutely. And yeah, I'm excited to see what our first session comes up with. I think it'll be a great, great time. So if you're interested, or if you think you know someone who might be interested, please reach out to us. Or if you think you know someone who might be interested, please reach out to us. Call me 937-569-6504. Even if you're thinking about it, I'm happy to discuss those things with you. I can even register you myself. If you want to call, I will ask you the questions over the phone. I'm happy to do that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's very easy, let us help you. Yes, there's a couple other different cancer programs that we do and fund through the foundation that you know will. If you come to the Look Good, feel Better, you'll learn about. But I wanted to just touch on here as well. We have a Living with Lymphedema program. So I know a lot of times that can also be a side effect of chemotherapy and radiation, where you have lymphedema, you've got swelling in your arms, your legs and some of those extremities and it can be very painful. And we have a wonderful physical therapy program that has two physical therapists that are completely certified in lymphedema. But a lot of times insurance does not cover those garments and the garments can be costly and you know you have to get measured for those garments and things to help you. So the foundation with the Living with Lymphedema Fund out of the Dayton Foundation we partner with them at Wayne Healthcare Foundation and we provide those garments free of charge as well when you go through a physical therapy program. So we have some of those different things.
Speaker 2:We have a CT lung program where we're looking at prevention. Can we spot lung cancer early on? Do you have some of those high risk factors for lung cancer and so we help provide that at a cheaper, discounted cost to help you. And so the foundation takes on a lot of those different causes for our cancer patients as well as other things. We do have a breast cancer awareness of Dark County that helps with breast cancer needs, mammograms A lot of those things now are covered under insurance, but there's still those outliers once in a while where people need help funding those and how we can help with those. And there's a BCCPR breast and cervical cancer project. Those are some different ways we can fund and assist with some of those prevention screenings as well. And it's very important you know we're talking on the other side of cancer right now with look good, feel better where you're in it. But it's very important to take those preventative measures to take care of yourself and, if you do have it, to make sure we spot it early.
Speaker 1:Absolutely, yeah we're very passionate about that too. You know we have a break for breakfast event coming up every October excuse me which is breast cancer awareness month, and we really try to promote that getting your mammogram, getting checks and making sure you have a provider that is looking through some of your test results so that you can spot those things early.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and colon cancer is a big one in our area too, so getting those colonoscopies is very important as well.
Speaker 1:Yeah yeah. We try and push all of our screenings as much as we can and we try to help out with anything we can too, whether that's financially or just getting you scheduled. We're happy to do all those things. One other thing that we didn't mention as a resource is the Cancer Association of Dark County, phenomenal for our area. We are so lucky to have them in our rural little county here. They do so much for cancer patients who are Dark County residents, anything from reimbursing gas mileage for going to appointments to giving out in cases of insure for patients who maybe aren't tolerant of other, you know food and things, so they can help out a lot. They provide resources. I know they have a selection of wigs and things down there, so even even if you're, you know, not sure where to start, that would be a great resource too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Chris Lynn is their director there and she's phenomenal, and I know they assist with. You know some of the prescription medications too, so a great resource, for sure it is.
Speaker 1:We are very lucky to have them in our county and I know they give out so much funding over the years and each year, so they're a great resource.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I could do a whole nother show on the foundation and some of our programs, so I'm not going to go into that today, but just some of the other things that we do. We have a lot of heart health awareness programs and we do a lot of prevention programs for heart as well with the foundation. So that might be another episode sometime that we can touch on, but we're always happy to be looking for new programs that we can help start at our hospital that the foundation can outfund. We have an amazing group of donors from the community and we're always, always welcoming new donations to help fund these programs.
Speaker 1:So our foundation is also online at waynehealthcareorg to learna little bit more about and to get involved with yeah, we're so lucky to have you and just um that your board sees value in some of these programs, that you're able to help um our patients in the wellness center, but then just the community in the impact that you guys have been able to have on our community has been fantastic. So we are so lucky to have a wonderful foundation as well. Thank you.
Speaker 2:Robin, it's an honor. I love doing it. I love that we're here and we get to talk about it a little bit more and get the word out.
Speaker 1:So this is exciting. It is exciting Anything we can do to promote and just keep getting more patients, new patients even who maybe haven't even been through our doors before.
