Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Dexter, and I'll be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the Brookdale Senior Living's First Quarter Earnings Release Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. After the speakers' presentation, there will be a question-and-answer session.
