And and what i have attended one meeting and we are touching on some of the larger structural things, right now. And components but, we will soon be getting into kind of the programming of the facility, and with the bottom two floors being the permit what they are calling the permitting center. Yeah, i just want to say that is so smart. Because i know that if you deal with dbi or the permit, you know, i know that you get your older permits on the ground floor but anything else you are up on the fourth or the fifth floor in the
And so what i am here tonight, to ask for, is the commissions support of the program, and the out reach of the program, and to get, information out into the hands of the Small Business community. And about the program, that is available, through the clinic by the bay. And i have also i am working with the other organizations that just started to work with the council of the district merchants and i am working with the mission of the Economic Development and working with the Mayors Office to do the same thing and again what i am asking for is, support, and out reach, to a Small Business community of San Francisco. Okay. Thank you. And commissioner dwight . Well, i was not so well informed about this until recently speaking with scott over the phone and i am just really impressed with what you have dealt and the effort that you have put into it and i hope that we can assist you in the out reach and we have talked about how this might relate to even some of the employees that we have and
Have dealt and the effort that you have put into it and i hope that we can assist you in the out reach and we have talked about how this might relate to even some of the employees that we have and that our business even though we offer, the Health Insurance benefits and so i think that there is some real upside to this and i would like to explore it more and in lieu of making any Firm Commitment here and at least know that you have our interest, and support in learning more about how we can support you. One of the things that i should tell you is the quality of care that the patients get is primarily on priet mare level. But, it is really phenomenal. And i invite all of you to come out and see the clinic, and just the feel of the clinic and a lot of the people have the mental image of some because we dont take any insurance there is no forms but they can do the medicine, and they can practice the medicine in the way that they wanted to practice it, about the importance of filling out t

And the doctor visits are more, i would contend longer than any or most of which you would get, and the visits that they meet for a half hour and i think that if
We have lost, we will lose about 30 to 40 percent, of the patients that we have right now and we currently have, we had, about 1500, registered patients, we were doing about 280 to 300 patients, and as those numbers are beginning to drop because they are qualifying for medical.

And but the bottom line is that we are going to lose a number of our patients and that is not a bad thing.
