my name is katherine smith and i'm from hope net. i had a root canal this morning, excuse me. i don't know if you can all understand me. but i'm here to support the assuring safe, affordable and quality patient care, the bill that daly is putting forth. and i, too, am wary that the noncompassionate people are going to come in and take over our dispensaries. i'm going to read you what the city said about us. it says that we're a non-profit facility affiliated with national hospice and palliative care organizations, among other organizations, we serve approximately 100 patients monday through saturday, there's approximately 700 regular paying patients. we have about 100 people we give compassion to free of charge, another elderly, veterans discount. most of our patients live in our neighborhood and they're over 45 years old. we also have an activist resource center on mission. we feed another 50 people in the neighborhood. now, if somebody else takes over, say, our dispensary, all those people that are being helped in our community, how is the neighborhood going to have any say
