Again at this third annual healthcare conference, very excited to have the team from HCA. We've got Bill Rutherford, the company's CFO. We got VP of IR and much more, Mark Kimbrough, doing his kind of victory lap here as he heads towards retirement with the fourth quarter call. So always happy to see Mark.
Look, guys, I really appreciate you being here. As always, send me an e-mail if you got a question for the team, try to get that into the mix before we let them go for the day.
So Bill, why don't we start off, maybe just give us a 2-minute kind of state of the union post the third quarter, what you've been hearing from investors, what you're kind of focused on going into '22?
