Questions & Answers
We are going to jump straight into Q&A. So I'll kick it off with a question on Apria. You recently made a pretty big splash in the home health market when you announced your $1.5 billion acquisition of home health distributor Apria. If the deal closes, it will be the biggest acquisition OMI have ever made. For those not familiar with Apria or your home health business Byram, can you lay out the strategic rationale for such a large transaction? And why you decided to make the acquisition now?
