Good morning. My name is Jamie and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the Brookdale Senior Living First Quarter 2018 Earnings Conference Call. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speaker's remarks, there will be a question-and-answer session.
