These referrals so this month, 547 referrals meant, 547 facetoface contacts with individuals in hospitals offering Transitional Care Services and all of the other services that we provide and it has been an incredible part of our program doing this hospital out reach, and i just also want to acknowledge everyone in the intake, because the people up here, there are a portion of our larger staff, and there is about 25 or so, individuals that really keep the unit humming and with the increase that we have seen over 50 percent, in just the last few months, we have not had additional staffing. And the people who are doing the transitional care, work in house, processing referrals and processing all of the other referrals and providing information assistance, we have been able to provide that at the same level and the quality that we are providing before this massive increase and so it is congratulations to everyone and i also as you said, i want to acknowledge all of the struggles that we h

I mean that more people come to washington for the alzheimers work and for a policy briefing and so on. And so i think that there is going to be an effort now to look at a larger venue, with more people, but it is not clear, again, how those people will be chosen, to be part of that, so, it is a pretty exciting time, again the last one was in 199. , so ten years ago and it has been a long time everybody has been wondering given that there is an early americas act and authorized that there will be a conference itself, and we are going to be using technology and San Francisco is positioned well and we have computer labs and we need to figure out a way to help the older adul
