doctors so I coordinate care with the physicians that were close to me there. That's really the model we have tried to do. As in our Hermitage location we just had two recent Kathy McNutt, Dr. McNutt is and David Bright is a physician's assistant that's local. But what the contracts allow us to do is for the contractor to hire physicians that are local physicians that know the local system and can coordinate care with those local physicians and I that's a great way to take care of veterans because a lot of veterans do have dual care which have an outside provider and they get care from the VA. So that helps us coordinate that care between two. MS. CLOSKEY: So the how do they feel working in this forum? MR. FLORIAN: I'm to answer that, but I wanted to piggy back on something that Dr. Kruczek said that is very important in terms of trying to make them feel like they are 9 part of the team. We regularly have team meetings where we either visit them on site or give them the opportunity to come to Pittsburgh. The contracted staffs are all oriented by staff here at Butler. They go through a week-long orientation where they learn all the same things
