Thank you, Operator. I'd like to welcome everyone to today's ADAPT Health Corp conference call for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. Everyone should have received a copy of our earnings release earlier this morning. If not, I'd like to highlight that the earnings release, as well as a supplemental slide presentation regarding Q3 2021 results, is posted on the investor relations section of our website. In a moment, we'll have some prepared comments from Steve Griggs, Chief Executive Officer of ADAPT Health, Josh Parnes, President of ADAPT Health, and Jason Clements, Chief Financial Officer of ADAPT Health. We'll then open the call for questions. Before we begin, I'd like to remind everyone that statements included in this conference call and in our press release may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. These statements include, but are not limited to, comments regarding our financial results for 2021 and beyond. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements because of a number of risk factors and uncertainties, which are discussed at length in our annual and quarterly SEC filings. ADAPT Health Corps will have no obligation to update the information provided on this call to reflect such subsequent events. Additionally, on this morning's call, we'll reference certain financial measures, such as EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA, less patient equipment capex, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. This morning's call is being recorded, and a replay of the call will be available later today on our website. I'm now pleased to introduce our Chief Executive Officer, Steve Griggs.

Thank you, Chris, and thanks to everyone on the line for joining today's call and for the opportunity to discuss how pleased we are with the accomplishments of our 9,531 employees over the past quarter and the future of ADAPT Health. Since July 1, we've completed the integration of AeroCare, completed 10 more acquisitions of HME and diabetes providers, issued $600 million of senior debentures, and navigated a challenging operating environment, including the resurgence of COVID-19, the Phillips recall, a tightening labor market, and supply chain disruption. And today, we're happy to report record quarterly net revenue and adjusted EBITDA and an organic growth rate of 6.5%. Although many of the challenges will likely continue to impact us in the near term, we've increased confidence in our ability to overcome them. And accordingly, we've raised guidance for 2021 and are providing an optimistic initial outlook for 2022. None of this is possible without the extraordinary efforts of our team members responding to the unusual circumstances and ensuring our patients get access to the therapy they need. We continue to invest significant resources towards retention of the right talent and deployment of best-in-class tools to position our organization to capitalize on our increased scale and to take advantage of the attractive opportunities ahead of us across our product lines and addressable markets. Over the last 18 months, the COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated that HME and respiratory services delivered to the home are a critical part of the healthcare continuum. Within our HME product lines, we continue to see significant organic growth and operating efficiency opportunities well into the future. More than a year ago, we entered the diabetes business with the acquisition of Solera, and we remain very pleased with its performance, which continues to exceed our expectations for 2021. We continue to grow this business with strategic acquisitions, the application of our resupply technology and processes, as well as the benefits of bringing over AdaptHealth's innovative e-prescribed capabilities. We continue to aggressively pursue accretive transactions that will complement our existing business in both HME and diabetes. The AdaptHealth and AeroCare acquisition teams have combined to create an efficient M&A process from target identification through operational integration. In addition to the merger of ADAPT Health and AeroCare completed in February of this year, we've acquired more than $400 million in annualized revenue to date. Our pipeline of accretive HME and diabetes acquisition targets remains robust. Looking ahead to 2022 and beyond, we will create shareholder value by continuing to focus on our key strategic pillars of organic growth, operational efficiency, and accretive acquisitions. We remain confident that we have the right people, the right technology, and the right capital structure to do so. I will now pass the call over to our President, Josh Parnas.
