Thank you, Bennett. Hi, everyone, and thank you for joining Sencor's fiscal 2026 first quarter earnings call. I'll begin by thanking our team members. who drive our strong performance while advancing our purpose. This morning, we were pleased to announce that we've completed our acquisition of the majority of the remaining equity interests in One Oncology. And I welcome CEO, Dr. Jeff Patton, and the entire One Oncology team to Sancora. Your commitment to and expertise in supporting community oncology practices is a cornerstone of the Sancora strategy. In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we delivered adjusted operating income growth of 12% and adjusted diluted EPS growth of 9%, driven by our market-leading capabilities. To reflect our performance and the contribution from our recently completed acquisition of One Oncology, we are raising our fiscal 2026 guidance to reflect year-over-year adjusted operating income growth of 11.5% to 13.5%. Our results were driven by continued strength in our US healthcare solutions business as we executed our pharmaceutical centric strategy and work to advance commercial solutions. Our dedication to understanding customer needs and delivering tailored services creates long standing strategic relationships fueling our growth. We are furthering the customer experience and our operational excellence leveraging technology and advanced analytics. Our solutions differentiate us in the market and allow us to capitalize on strong specialty pharmaceutical utilization trends. We have three growth priorities core to our strategy. First, strengthening our leadership and specialty. Second, leading with market leaders. And lastly, enhancing patient access to pharmaceuticals. On today's call, I'll focus on how our MSO expansion is advancing each growth priority. I'll begin with how our MSO footprint strengthens our leadership and specialty. Our investments in pharmaceutical-centric MSOs represent a natural extension of our longstanding leadership in specialty pharmaceuticals, complementing our existing specialty distribution and GPO services. Our MSOs provide practices with critical back office and administrative support while strengthening our relationship with pharmaceutical companies. We expect to drive significant value for physicians across One Oncology and Retina Consultants of America by creating an MSO platform that leverages the capabilities of these market leaders. We'll unlock new opportunities to enhance our solutions for both providers and biopharma by leveraging our platform strengths and scale in areas like clinical research, revenue cycle management, and data-driven clinical insights to support physicians and advance care. Focusing on our growth priority of leading with market leaders, Our MSOs demonstrate the value of our commitment to support healthcare leaders at the forefront of innovation. While much focus today will be appropriately on completing the acquisition of One Oncology, in January, we celebrated the one-year anniversary of RCA joining Sancora. Over the past year, we've been very pleased with the addition of RCA, both in terms of their performance and leadership in driving pharmaceutical innovation. RCA has clearly differentiated itself. through its clinical trial and research capabilities, contributing to more than one-third of all retina clinical trial research conducted in the United States. And we see significant potential extending this offering across our MSO platform. In addition to expanding research capabilities, RCA physicians continue to enhance the patient care journey by adopting advanced technologies in their practices that have a meaningful impact on patient experience. Since completing the acquisition, we've supported the deployment of hundreds of advanced imaging devices across RCA practices that enable more precise, noninvasive assessment of patients' clinical conditions. And finally, our MSO expansion is supporting our growth priority of enhancing patient access to pharmaceuticals. As specialty pharmaceutical innovation continues to accelerate, physicians are navigating more advanced treatment options while facing increased operational complexity. Our MSOs help address these challenges by providing a robust portfolio of services that support physicians in delivering the most modern, high quality care. Both RCA and One Oncology physicians are active contributors at leading retina and oncology conferences, presenting research across a wide range of disease states. Recently, One Oncology partner practices presented dozens of abstracts covering emerging treatments, including cellular therapies, subcutaneous bispecific antibodies, and CAR T. These activities highlight the important role One Oncology physicians play in advancing cancer care and expanding access to complex treatments for patients in local communities. Another recent example of our MSO physicians leadership advancing clinical practice is RCA's research chair, Dr. Charles Wyckoff and team performing the world's first procedure of a new FDA-approved cell-based gene therapy for Mactel type 2, a degenerative retina disease that previously had limited treatment options. We've also seen the real-world impact of this leadership in the retina biosimilar market. RCA physicians were highly involved in supporting research for a key biosimilar product, and due to their clinical familiarity and confidence, were leaders in its early adoption, helping to drive patient access to this high-quality, lower-cost treatment. Across both platforms, One Oncology and RCA physicians are leading in the adoption of advanced and individualized treatment approaches, expanding access to its clinical trials, and ensuring patients have access to the most cutting-edge treatments in an accessible setting. In closing, Suncor delivered a strong start to our fiscal 2026, continues to execute at a high level. We're advancing our strategy and strengthening our position as a leading healthcare company. Guided by our purpose, growth priorities, and strategic drivers, we are well positioned to drive sustainable value creation for our stakeholders over the long term. Before handing it over to Jim for a detailed review of our quarterly results and updated guidance, I want to once again thank the Sencora team. Their expertise, commitment, and dedication to our purpose, power, our strong performance. With that, I'll now hand the call over to Jim for an in-depth review of our performance and updated expectations for the year. Jim?
