| NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER, INC. | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5: THE FOLLOWING ORGANIZATIONS HAVE PARTNERED AND COLLABORATED TO CONDUCT A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) FOR COMMUNITIES THEY (CHNA PARTNERS) SERVE IN NORTHEASTERN GEORGIA: -DISTRICT 2 PUBLIC HEALTH -HABERSHAM MEDICAL CENTER -GOOD NEWS CLINICS -NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER GAINESVILLE -NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER BRASELTON -NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER BARROW -NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER LUMPKIN -STEPHENS COUNTY HOSPITALTHROUGH THIS ASSESSMENT, THE CHNA PARTNERS WORKED TO BETTER UNDERSTAND LOCAL HEALTH CHALLENGES, IDENTIFY HEALTH TRENDS, DETERMINE GAPS IN THE CURRENT HEALTH DELIVERY SYSTEM, AND CRAFT A PLAN TO ADDRESS THOSE GAPS AND THE IDENTIFIED HEALTH NEEDS. THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY EACH OF THE PARTNERS OVERLAPPED AND COMBINED TO INCLUDE ALL OR PART OF 14 COUNTIES IN NORTHEAST GEORGIA. THESE COMMUNITIES REFLECT THE FOLLOWING SERVICE AREAS: -HABERSHAM MEDICAL CENTER (HMC): HABERSHAM, BANKS, AND RABUN COUNTIES -NGMC PRIMARY SERVICE AREA (PSA): HALL COUNTY -NGMC GREATER BRASELTON SERVICE AREA (GBSA): BARROW AND JACKSON COUNTIES, PARTS OF GWINNETT AND HALL COUNTIES -NGMC SECONDARY SERVICE AREA 400 (SSA 400): DAWSON AND LUMPKIN COUNTIES -NGMC SECONDARY SERVICE AREA NORTH (SSA NORTH): BANKS, HABERSHAM, RABUN, STEPHENS, TOWNS, UNION, AND WHITE COUNTIES -STEPHENS COUNTY HOSPITAL (SCH): STEPHENS AND FRANKLIN COUNTIESPUBLIC GOODS GROUP (PGG) WAS ENGAGED BY THE PARTNERS TO COLLECT AND ANALYZE QUANTITATIVE DATA FOR THE CHNA AND OVER 190 PUBLIC HEALTH INDICATORS WERE EXAMINED IN THE COMMUNITIES REPRESENTED WITHIN THE ABOVE-NAMED NORTHEAST GEORGIA COMMUNITIES. A QUALITATIVE ASSESSMENT WAS THEN CONDUCTED TO SOLICIT THE INPUT OF MORE THAN 4,900 PEOPLE THROUGH SIX CHANNELS: FOCUS GROUPS, INTERVIEWS, IN-PERSON SURVEYS, A MULTI-LINGUAL ONLINE COMMUNITY SURVEY, AN ONLINE EMPLOYEE SURVEY, AND LISTENING SESSIONS. THE COMMUNITY SURVEY WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AND THE EMPLOYEE SURVEY WAS OPEN TO ALL EMPLOYEES OF EACH PARTNER ORGANIZATION. PARTICIPANTS IN LISTENING SESSIONS, FOCUS GROUPS, AND ONE-ON-ONE INTERVIEWS WERE INDIVIDUALS OR ORGANIZATIONS SERVING AND/OR REPRESENTING THE INTERESTS OF MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED, LOW-INCOME, AND/OR MINORITY POPULATIONS IN THE COMMUNITY. IN FEBRUARY AND MARCH 2022, THE THOMOSS GROUP INTERVIEWED KEY STAKEHOLDERS WITH PARTICULAR EXPERTISE OR KNOWLEDGE OF THE VARIOUS SERVICE AREAS TO GAIN EACH COMMUNITY'S PERSPECTIVE. THIRTY-FIVE REPRESENTATIVES OF LOCAL AND REGIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH ENTITIES, MINORITY POPULATIONS, FAITH-BASED COMMUNITIES, LOCAL BUSINESS OWNERS, PHILANTHROPIC COMMUNITIES, MENTAL HEALTH AGENCIES, ELECTED OFFICIALS, AND INDIVIDUALS REPRESENTING OUR MOST VULNERABLE PATIENTS WERE INTERVIEWED. ADDITIONALLY, THE STAFF OF GOOD NEWS CLINICS, DISTRICT 2 PUBLIC HEALTH, AND THE HOUSING AUTHORITY CONDUCTED IN-PERSON INTERVIEWS WITH APPROXIMATELY 190 COMMUNITY MEMBERS REPRESENTING THOSE SETTINGS. THESE CONVERSATIONS WERE DESIGNED TO CAPTURE RESPONDENTS' PERCEPTIONS OF HOW WELL THEIR HEALTH CARE NEEDS WERE BEING MET AND WHAT OBSTACLES INTERFERED WITH THEIR NEEDS. EIGHT FOCUS GROUPS WERE CONDUCTED FOR THE FOLLOWING COMMUNITIES AND GROUPS, AND THE NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS FOR EACH ARE NOTED IN PARENTHESES. -NGMC PRIMARY SERVICE AREA (15) -NGMC GREATER BRASELTON SERVICE AREA (11) -NGMC SECONDARY SERVICE AREA 400 (5) -NGMC SECONDARY SERVICE AREA NORTH (7) -HALL COUNTY FAMILY CONNECTION NETWORK (15) -AFRICAN AMERICAN STAKEHOLDERS, HOSTED BY THE NEWTOWN FLORIST CLUB (13) -GWINNETT HUMAN SERVICES DIVISION (5) -HISPANIC AND LATINO STAKEHOLDERS, HOSTED BY THE HISPANIC ALLIANCE (26)IN MARCH 2022, AN ELECTRONIC COMMUNITY-BASED SURVEY TO SOLICIT COMMUNITY INPUT WAS RELEASED AND WIDELY ADVERTISED TO THE COMMUNITY VIA PRESS RELEASES, PARTNER WEBSITES, AND SOCIAL MEDIA. SURVEY QUESTIONS CAN BE FOUND IN APPENDIX ELEVEN. APPROXIMATELY 4,200 COMMUNITY MEMBERS COMPLETED THE SURVEY, WHICH WAS AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH, SPANISH, AND VIETNAMESE. AN EMPLOYEE SURVEY WAS ALSO RELEASED THROUGH EACH PARTNER ORGANIZATION. APPROXIMATELY 460 EMPLOYEES THROUGHOUT ALL CHNA PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS RESPONDED.THE OUTCOME OF THE QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS WAS THEN COMPARED WITH THE QUALITATIVE FINDINGS TO CREATE A LIST OF HEALTH NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY. EACH HEALTH NEED WAS ASSIGNED TO ONE OF FOUR QUADRANTS IN A HEALTH NEEDS MATRIX WHICH PRIORITIZES HEALTH NEEDS AS: -LOW DATA + LOW QUALITATIVE: NEITHER THE BENCHMARK ANALYSIS NOR THE COMMUNITY DEMONSTRATED A PARTICULAR INDICATOR WAS A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE. -LOW DATA + HIGH QUALITATIVE: THE BENCHMARK ANALYSIS DID NOT IDENTIFY THE INDICATOR AS A COMPARATIVELY SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM BUT THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS INTERVIEWED OR SURVEYED RELAYED IT WAS AS SIGNIFICANT ISSUE. -HIGH DATA + LOW QUALITATIVE: THE BENCHMARK ANALYSIS SHOWS A PARTICULAR INDICATOR WAS AN ISSUE BUT IT WAS NOT MENTIONED OFTEN, IF AT ALL, BY COMMUNITY MEMBERS INTERVIEWED OR SURVEYED. -HIGH DATA + HIGH QUALITATIVE: BOTH THE COMMUNITY AND THE BENCHMARK ANALYSIS IDENTIFIED A PARTICULAR INDICATOR AS A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE. THIS HELPED THE CHNA PARTNERS TO IDENTIFY THE TOP HEALTH NEEDS FOR EACH COMMUNITY. NEEDS CATEGORIZED AS HIGH DATA AND HIGH QUALITATIVE WERE FURTHER ANALYZED DURING THE PRIORITIZATION PROCESS.IN MAY 2022, THE CHNA PARTNERS AND ADVISORS CONSISTING OF BOARD MEMBERS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS HOSTED THREE PRIORITIZATION SESSIONS TO DETERMINE THE PRIORITIES EACH ENTITY WOULD ADDRESS OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS. CRITERIA USED TO SELECT THE PRIORITIES INCLUDED: -ROOT CAUSE AND DISPROPORTIONATE IMPACT ON DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITY MEMBERS -MAGNITUDE AND EXTENT OF THE ISSUE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY -ABILITY OF CHNA PARTNERS TO MAKE AN IMPACT ON THE ISSUEAS A RESULT OF THIS PROCESS, THE FOLLOWING HEALTH PRIORITIES WERE IDENTIFIED FOR NGMC HOSPITALS: -ACCESS TO CARE -MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH -HEALTHY BEHAVIORSFOR EACH PRIORITY, NGMC WILL WORK TO ACHIEVE GREATER HEALTH EQUITY BY REDUCING THE IMPACT OF POVERTY AND OTHER SOCIOECONOMIC INDICATORS ON THAT PRIORITY BY IMPLEMENTING PROGRAMMING AND INVESTMENT IN AREAS THAT DIRECTLY ADDRESS ISSUES RELATED TO INCOME AND POVERTY AND INDIVIDUALS WHO FACE PARTICULAR CHALLENGES IN ACCESSING CARE DUE TO DISABILITY, RACE, ENGLISH PROFICIENCY, EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT, AND OTHER AREAS OF SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS.THE FULL CHNA REPORT IS PUBLICLY AVAILABLE AT NGHS.COM/COMMUNITY-BENEFIT-RESOURCES. AN INTERACTIVE DATA PLATFORM CREATED THROUGH TABLEAU IS AVAILABLE TO ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS AT NORTHEASTGEORGIACHNA.COM. THIS PLATFORM PROVIDES ACCESS TO BOTH ZIP CODE AND COUNTY-LEVEL PUBLIC HEALTH INDICATORS FOUND THROUGHOUT THE CHNA, INCLUDING DEMOGRAPHICS, SOCIOECONOMIC INDICATORS, DISEASE PREVALENCE, INSURANCE COVERAGE, AND PREVENTABLE HOSPITALIZATIONS. ADDITIONALLY, DOWNLOADABLE DATA SHEETS FOR EACH SERVICE AREA ARE AVAILABLE THAT PROVIDE A SUMMARY OF KEY HEALTH, ECONOMIC, AND DEMOGRAPHIC INDICATORS. DOWNLOADABLE DATA SHEETS RELEVANT TO THE SERVICE AREAS ARE AVAILABLE TO THE COMMUNITY AT NGHS.COM/COMMUNITY-BENEFIT-RESOURCES.BOTH THE CHNA AND THE SUBSEQUENT IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES WERE DESIGNED TO FULLY MEET INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE REGULATIONS, AS FOUND IN THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(R). |
| NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER, INC. | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 6A: THE FOLLOWING HOSPITAL FACILITIES WERE INCLUDED IN THE CHNA: -NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER GAINESVILLE -NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER BRASELTON -NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER BARROW -NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER LUMPKIN -HABERSHAM MEDICAL CENTER -STEPHENS COUNTY HOSPITAL |
| NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER, INC. | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 6B: THE FOLLOWING ORGANIZATION PARTNERED AND COLLABORATED IN OUR REGIONAL COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT: -DISTRICT 2 PUBLIC HEALTH -GOOD NEWS CLINICS |
| NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER, INC. | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11: NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER DEFINED FOUR COMMUNITIES SERVED BY THEIR FOUR HOSPITAL FACILITIES: NGMC GREATER BRASELTON SERVICE AREA (GBSA), NGMC PRIMARY SERVICE AREA (PSA), NGMC SECONDARY SERVICE AREA 400 (SSA 400), AND NGMC SECONDARY SERVICE AREA NORTH (SSA NORTH). BASED ON RESULTS OF THE 2022 CHNA, THE FOLLOWING THREE PRIORITIES WERE ADOPTED BY THE ORGANIZATION AND REPRESENT THOSE ON WHICH WE CAN HAVE THE MOST IMPACT BASED ON PRIORITIZATION CRITERIA: -BEHAVIORAL AND MENTAL HEALTH (ALL NGMC SERVICE AREAS) -ACCESS TO CARE (ALL NGMC SERVICE AREAS) -HEALTHY BEHAVIORS (ALL NGMC SERVICE AREAS)FOR DETAILS ON HOW NGMC IS ADDRESSING THE SIGNIFICANT NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN ITS MOST RECENTLY CONDUCTED CHNA, GO TO: HTTPS://WWW.NGHS.COM/COMMUNITY-BENEFIT-RESOURCES, GO TO INITIATIVES AND ACTIVITIES, AND CLICK ON 2023-2025 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN.THE HEALTH NEEDS THE SYSTEM CHOSE NOT TO ADDRESS THROUGH THE PRIORITIZATION PROCESS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING, BROKEN DOWN BY SERVICE AREA: -NGMC PSA: FOOD ACCESS AND NUTRITION, MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH, SOCIAL ISOLATION. -NGMC GBSA: MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, INJURY AND DEATH, VIOLENCE, CHILD ABUSE, INCOME, EDUCATION, ACCESS TO DENTAL CARE, CANCER, TRANSPORTATION. -NGMC SSA NORTH: MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH, CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE, INCOME, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, VIOLENCE, CHILD ABUSE, EDUCATION, ACCESS TO DENTAL CARE, EMPLOYMENT, CEREBROVASCULAR DISEASE, SOCIAL ISOLATION, CANCER, COPD AND RESPIRATORY DISEASE, INJURY, AND DEATH. -NGMC SSA 400: MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH, SMOKING, VIOLENCE/CHILD ABUSE, INCOME, ACCESS TO DENTAL CARE, SOCIAL ISOLATION, CANCER, TRANSPORTATION.EVEN SO, NGMC DOES ACTIVELY WORK ON THESE ISSUES. FOR INSTANCE, ACCESS TO CARE IS A PRIORITY ACROSS THE REGION AND WHILE TRANSPORTATION WAS NOT SINGLED OUT AS A PRIORITY, WE CONSIDER TRANSPORTATION TO BE A KEY COMPONENT TO ACCESSING CARE. WHILE TRANSPORTATION ON ITS OWN DID NOT MAKE THE HEALTH PRIORITY LIST, IT WOULD BE AN ISSUE CONSIDERED IN ACCESS TO CARE ISSUES. WHILE CANCER WAS NOT CHOSEN AS A COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PRIORITY, NGMC ALREADY HAS AN INTERNAL EMPHASIS ON THIS HEALTH ISSUE AND WILL REPORT ITS ACTIVITY VIA THE ANNUAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT. |

| PART I, LINE 3C: | PATIENTS WHO ARE DETERMINED TO BE INDIGENT, DETERMINED BY CRITERIA-BASED METHODS, SUCH AS PROPENSITY TO PAY OR HEALTH SCORES, PARTICIPATION IN LOW INCOME GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS, ETC. MAY BE PRESUMPTIVELY ELIGIBLE FOR ASSISTANCE, PROVIDING THEY COOPERATE WITH SCREENING FOR OTHER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE RESOURCES (E.G. MEDICAID OR DISABILITY), AS APPLICABLE. |
| PART I, LINE 6A: | THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT IS PUBLISHED BY NORTHEAST GEORGIA HEALTH SYSTEM AND INCLUDES PROGRAMS FOR NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER AND ITS AFFILIATES, INCLUDING NGMC BARROW AND NGMC LUMPKIN. THE REPORT IS AVAILABLE ON THE ORGANIZATION'S WEBSITE (WWW.NGHS.COM) AND IS ALSO PUBLISHED ANNUALLY IN ITS MAGAZINE, COMMUNICARE. |
| PART I, LINE 7: | CHARITY CARE COST WAS CALCULATED APPLYING SEPARATE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIOS (CCR) TO THE SKILLED NURSING FACILITY (SNF) AND TO THE REMAINING PATIENT CHARGES FROM ALL OTHER HOSPITAL-BASED ACTIVITIES. THE CCR FOR THE SNF WAS COMPUTED USING THE TOTAL SNF OPERATING EXPENSES DIVIDED BY THE TOTAL SNF GROSS CHARGES. THE CCR FOR THE REMAINING PATIENT CHARGES WAS COMPUTED PURSUANT TO WORKSHEET 2 IN THE SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS.THE CCR FOR THE UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID SERVICES WAS COMPUTED USING A CCR COMPUTED PURSUANT TO WORKSHEET 2 IN THE SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS. OTHER MEANS TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAM COST WAS DERIVED FROM INTERNAL TRENDSTAR SYSTEM DATA WHICH COMPUTED COST AT THE PATIENT DETAIL LEVEL. |
| PART I, LINE 7G: | SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES WERE FOR INPATIENT MEDICINE, NICU AND LAURELWOOD (MENTAL HEALTH). NO COSTS WERE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PHYSICIANS. |

| PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES: | IT IS WELL DOCUMENTED THAT MANY FACTORS COMBINE TO AFFECT THE HEALTH OF INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES. WHETHER PEOPLE ARE HEALTHY OR NOT IS DETERMINED BY THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES AND THEIR ENVIRONMENT, ACCORDING TO THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION. TO A LARGE EXTENT, FACTORS SUCH AS WHERE WE LIVE, THE STATE OF OUR ENVIRONMENT, GENETICS, OUR INCOME AND EDUCATION LEVEL, AND OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY ALL HAVE CONSIDERABLE IMPACTS ON HEALTH. THE DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH INCLUDE THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT, THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT, AND A PERSON'S INDIVIDUAL CHARACTERISTICS AND BEHAVIORS. ADDITIONAL FACTORS THAT RELATE INCLUDE EDUCATION, CULTURE, INCOME AND SOCIAL STATUS, EMPLOYMENT AND WORKING CONDITIONS, SOCIAL SUPPORT NETWORKS, GENETICS, HEALTH SERVICES, AND GENDER. IF COMMUNITY MEMBERS HAVE ADEQUATE EDUCATION, EMPLOYMENT, INCOME, A SAFE ENVIRONMENT, AND SUPPORTIVE SOCIAL NETWORKS, THEY WILL HAVE THE CAPACITY TO MAKE HEALTHIER BEHAVIOR CHOICES AND BE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES. THEREFORE, NGMC AS AN ORGANIZATION MUST CONSIDER THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH STATUS AS PART OF PREVENTATIVE CARE. A FEW OF THE COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES INCLUDED IN PART II INCLUDE:GAINESVILLE PARKS & RECREATION: IN FY23, NGMC SUPPORTED GAINESVILLE PARKS & RECREATION PARK2PARK CONNECTIVITY INITIATIVE AT A COST OF $13,500. THROUGH THIS CAMPAIGN, GAINESVILLE PARKS & RECREATION CREATED SIDEWALKS, WALKING TRAILS AND BIKE LANES TO CONNECT LOWER-INCOME NEIGHBORHOODS AND COMMUNITY BUSINESSES TO PARKS AND GREENSPACES. COALITION BUILDING: SAFE KIDS NORTHEAST GEORGIA, LED BY NGMC, IS PART OF SAFE KIDS WORLDWIDE, THE FIRST AND ONLY NATIONAL ORGANIZATION DEDICATED SOLELY TO PREVENTING UNINTENTIONAL CHILDHOOD INJURY, THE NATION'S NUMBER ONE KILLER OF CHILDREN AGES 19 AND UNDER. THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES SAFETY EQUIPMENT SUCH AS CAR SEATS, BIKE HELMETS, AND LIFE JACKETS TO AREA CHILDREN IN NEED.
