	Description:		Our guest today is Rick Barnett, President and CEO of Satellite Healthcare. Rick Barnett: I cannot think of another group of patients, another care setting, where the provider such as the dialysis center is spending more time with patients. On average, we're spending 50 hours a month with patients. We're really in a good position to really observe and monitor the patient's most chronic common conditions, which are diabetes and congestive heart failure. And I foresee down the road that we will further broaden our care mix within our dialysis footprint, and add advanced practitioners, such as nurse practitioners, that will see every patient maybe every week or every other week, and check their markers for CHF or diabetes, or maybe a few other key indicators, and to be able to head off having a bad event. I really want nephrologists, patients and Satellite employees listening to NephTalk to have a better understanding of your investment in and acquisition of Tri-County Vascular Care in San Jose, and therefore fully appreciate your long-term plan.
