7th Congressional District. Congressman, thank you so much for joining us today.

Thanks for having me on the on the show, glad to be here. So I'd like to start out by talking about your experience in the health care industry.

Tell us what led you to found three clinics, two free health care clinics in Tennessee.

How many patients did you serve with those clinics and how did all that work

starting all that up? Sure I started my health care company a line MD and I wanted to I want you know it was an emergency department emergency

medicine staffing company management company and I wanted to make sure that the people that I hired into my company were

heart people, you know, people who wanted to serve.

So we initially wanted the clinic to be an overseas thing where we would have a ER physician

work 11 months in one of our ERs and then he would he or she would go work in another clinic overseas somewhere.

We never really found the right clinic to do that with.

So we just decided, well heck, we'll start one right here in our hometown and we did that at a place called

Mana Cafe and then that was very successful we probably gave away you know

anywhere between 70,000 and a100,000 worth free care a year at that clinic.

And so we then opened one in Memphis and it exploded so much.
