Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This is a three-year funding program that we’re receiving from the federal government for the total of $4.6 million. This is year three and this year we proposed to spend $1.068 million on CHN development, and $600,000 on nurse practitioners, and $225,000 on DI/PACS for the diagnostic imaging and pictures, picture archiving system that I think I mentioned in my opening statement. It would allow different health clinics to send images back and forth. So that’s really using money for human resources and some of the equipment necessary to enhance access to our residents.
