Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.

Endowment funds are designated for purposes that align within this organization's exempt purpose.

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

Income TaxesNorthern Light Health, its hospitals, and certain other affiliates have been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be tax-exempt charitable organizations as described in Section 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and, accordingly, are exempt from federal income taxes on related income pursuant to Section 501(a) of the Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for these organizations.Tax-exempt charitable organizations could be required to record an obligation for income taxes as the result of a tax position they have historically taken on various tax exposure items including unrelated business income or tax status. Under guidance issued by the FASB, assets and liabilities are established for uncertain tax positions taken or positions expected to be taken in income tax returns when such positions are judged to not meet the more-likely-than-not threshold, based upon the technical merits of the position. Estimated interest and penalties, if applicable, related to uncertain tax positions are included as a component of income tax expense. Northern Light Health has evaluated its tax position taken or expected to be taken on income tax returns and concluded the impact to be not material.Certain of Northern Light Health's affiliates are taxable entities. Deferred taxes related to these entities are based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse. The deferred tax assets and liabilities for these entities are not material.

Facility: Northern Light Blue Hill Hospi - Part V, Section B, Line 5	The Maine Shared CHNA research team conducted a statewide qualitative assessment among stakeholders to identify and prioritize significant health issues in communities across the state. The assessment, coordinated with the Maine CDC, engaged public health expertise throughout the process. Community outreach was conducted between September 2021 and January 2022. All forms of engagement included public forums, community sponsored events, and oral surveys. The purpose of these outreach efforts was to gather feedback on data and to identify health priorities, community assets, and gaps in resources to be used in health improvement planning. Virtual community forums with residents and service providers were held in the county in partnership with the Maine CDC to solicit input from individuals representing populations with health disparities including medically underserved, low-income, or minority populations. The following organizations attended the September 30, 2021, Hancock County Shared CHNA Community Engagement Forum and provided valuable feedback on the Maine Shared CHNA.Persons representing broad interests of the community who were consulted during the engagement process (the following list was extracted from the Hancock County CHNA report, page 20): Aroostook Mental Health Center, Bar Harbor Bank & Trust, Beth C.

Two types of outreaches were piloted in this effort.One effort included nine community sponsored events hosted by organizations having statewide reach representing the following communities: Black or African Americans; people who are homeless or formerly homeless; older adults; people who are deaf or hard of hearing; people who define themselves or identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer and/or questioning (LGBTQ+); people with a disability; people with a mental health diagnosis; people with low income; and youth.Another effort included conducting oral surveys in collaboration with eight ethnic-based community organizations community health workers in order to better reach Maines immigrant population that included: 1,000 surveys were conducted in either English (32%), Somali, (24%), Arabic (23%), French (8%), Spanish (5%), Lingala (3%), and other languages including Swahili, Maay Maay, Portuguese, Oromo, Eretria, Kirundi, and Amara. When asked for their countries of origin, respondents most commonly cited the United States (212), Iraq (205), Somalia (157), The Democratic Republic of Congo (81), Djibouti (70), Kenya (30), and Mexico (29).

Facility: Northern Light Blue Hill Hospi - Part V, Section B, Line 6a	The Maine Shared CHNA was conducted through a collaborative effort among Maines four largest health-care systems Central Maine Healthcare, Northern Light Health (legal name Eastern Maine Healthcare Systems), MaineGeneral Health, MaineHealth and the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention, an office of the Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Northern Light Health member organizations participating in the Shared CHNA included Acadia Hospital, AR Gould Hospital, Blue Hill Hospital, CA Dean Hospital, Eastern Maine Medical Center, Inland Hospital, Maine Coast Hospital, Mayo Hospital, Mercy Hospital, and Sebasticook Valley Hospital. See Line 5s response for a comprehensive list of participating organizations, included other non-Northern Light Health hospitals who were consulted during the engagement process.
Facility: Northern Light Blue Hill Hospi - Part V, Section B, Line 11	Northern Light Health recently conducted their 2022 Shared Community Health Needs Assessment that will inform priority work for implementation in FY23 FY25. In FY22, Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital developed our plan to address significant needs identified in our 2022 Community Health Strategy (aka, implementation strategy). Though priority work from the 2022 Shared CHNA wont begin until FY23, Blue Hill Hospital will be prepared to implement priority work from our 2022 strategy with no gap in implementation efforts between the two CHNA cycles. While conducting the 2022 Shared CHNA research and outreach, Blue Hill Hospital continued to implement priority work from the final year, FY22, of the three-year 2019 Community Health Strategy (implementation years FY20, FY21, and FY22). Below reflect these efforts related to the 2019 Community Health Strategy.The data gathered from the 2019 Shared Community Health Needs Assessment (Shared CHNA) informed Blue Hill Hospitals Community Health Strategy (Implementation Strategy) developed with input from community stakeholders including those who serve priority populations, the local Public Health District Liaison, local business leaders, and community advocates. Priorities were selected after weighing the severity of each priority area, availability of known and effective interventions, determination that the priority area was un-addressed or under-addressed, and community collaborations underway with Blue Hill Hospital. A hospital task force considered the data and identified areas of significant need including priority concerns, intended actions to address the need, programs and resource allocation, planned collaborations, and population of focus. The implementation strategy was presented and adopted by the hospitals governing board. Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital identified three priority areas of focus addressing the significant needs identified in its 2019 CHNA as follows:Social determinants of healthActions taken by Blue Hill Hospital to address this priority in FY22: Northern Light Health made significant progress in Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) screening and intervention. The Northern Light Health SDOH Team defined completed SDOH screening and established a system policy for minimum SDOH screening standards to provide consistency in screening guidelines. During the course of FY22, the SDOH Team worked with Information Systems to continually improve the SDOH Screening Tool based on user recommendations and will continue to manage user requests moving forward. SDOH Team leaders worked with members of Northern Light Health Quality to develop an SDOH screening dashboard which provides real-time screening rates by member organization, practice, provider, and payor type, as well as prevalence of SDOH need from positive screening results. The dashboard is undergoing validation and is anticipated to be available in FY23. Northern Light Health achieved a significant milestone in responding to social health needs when the new Northern Light Health findhelp platform went live on September 13, 2022. Findhelp is a national social care network that will make it easier for patients and providers to find and connect with local resources. The platform is embedded within our electronic health record so that care teams can find and refer patients to resources and has a public portal that community members can access at any time.Substance useActions taken by Blue Hill Hospital to address this priority in FY22: Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital met its objective target of maintaining the number of Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) options for opioid use readily available in local communities at four by 9/30/22. This was accomplished by prioritizing ongoing conversations and providing support for staff including training on patient referrals for MAT/Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) into the Down East Treatment Center for services. Positive progress was made in 2022 developing strong relationships with MAT/MOUD providers. Collaboration continued with Down East Treatment Center to promote the program and engage patients and providers. Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital maintained focus on substance use, specifically the use of MAT/MOUD, through educational and training offerings for providers and staff. The education provided new providers the opportunity to become MAT/MOUD trained, refreshed protocols, and reinforced the addition of the rapid access into MAT/MOUD in the emergency department for those patients with most limited access.Access to careActions taken by Blue Hill Hospital to address this priority in FY22: Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital exceeded its goal to increase the number of patients accessing non-urgent care by community paramedicine programs from 58 to 64 by 9/30/22. 81 unique patients were served by Memorial Ambulance Corps in FY22, which offered community paramedicine (CP) visits for non-urgent care and support as part of continued community partnership with Blue Hill Hospital. Memorial Ambulance is currently the only remaining active CP team in the Blue Hill catchment area post COVID-19 epidemic. This team of ten volunteers partnered with all available agencies and used any resources available to provide COVID-19 vaccinations during the year, complete medication refill visits, vital sign checks, call patients to check in, and offered reassurance and company for many isolated and lonely residents in Stonington and Deer Isle. Whenever patients were well enough to come off of their program, CP clinicians acted as advocates for their patients and made referrals back into the community to appropriate case workers and organizations, as well as communicating with the hospital or primary care staff of the change in care so the referral status and patient records were up to date. The CP team, care managers and families were in frequent communication of patient needs, making calls to help find resources, including volunteer programs for house repairs and Meals On Wheels to our most vulnerable patients, aligning with our brand promise to improve the health of the communities we serve. One Advanced EMT/RN shared her observation that medication reconciliation that Memorial Ambulance is able to provide is very helpful for the CP patients, particularly when being discharged home from a hospitalization with a change in prescription or dosage. CP clinicians are able to review discharge plans and prescriptions, provide education and reassurance at a time when patients are likely to be overwhelmed or in need of additional support in their own homes. Most improve their medication compliance with a little support, which has led to decreased calls to the primary care offices.Additional information related to actions taken by Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital on the above priorities can be found in their FY22 Progress Report to Our Community at https://northernlighthealth.org/2019-Community-Health-Strategy. Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital considered all priorities identified in the Shared CHNA, as well as other sources, through an extensive review process. While the full spectrum of needs is important, Blue Hill Hospital is currently poised to focus only on the highest priorities at this time. A number of priorities not selected, due to a variety of reasons are listed below:Mental Health - Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital has operationalized numerous mental health protocols in many our practices. Including, but not limited to the use of telepsychiatry services and licensed clinical social workers (LCSW) within our primary care sites, routine screenings for depression and suicide risk assessments with associated action plans for patients positively screened, LACE scores (identifies patients that are at risk for readmission or death within thirty days of discharge) across inpatient and outpatient sites of care include behavioral health diagnoses which are then flagged to primary care nurse care managers, a medical social worker who covers both primary care and inpatient settings, and an embedded LCSW who provides services to our local high school. In addition, our Access to Care priority plans will augment mental health access. Therefore, due to our current and ongoing engagement in a number of mental health initiatives, we have chosen to focus our efforts on other priority areas of need. Older Adult Health/Healthy Aging - Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital is currently engaged in numerous Elder Health and Healthy Aging initiatives in our community inclusive of the following initiatives, with whom we collaborate with Healthy Peninsula (HP), a local not for profit agency focused on community health needs such as Age-Friendly Coastal Communities Collaborative, Choices That Matter (re: Advance Care Planning, end of-life issues), food insecurity, healthy eating (lunches, Magic Food Bus, etc.), and Catalyzing Rural Healthcare Transformation (MEHAF grant focused on Community Paramedicine).

Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description	OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Medicare shortfalls (at cost)18,982 persons served. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Northern Light HealthPromisesAnnual Report 2022A promise made must be a promise kept. - AristotleWhen people keep their promises to us, we feel valued, respected, and appreciated. At Northern Light Health, we understand the importance of making a promise and doing the work to keep it.Our promise to the people and communities we serve across our great state of Maine is to make healthcare work for you. This means that we promise to get better every day by raising quality through teamwork, efficiency, and innovation. We promise to guide the way for our patients and their families, through the care experience. We live in a big, rural state, and we know access to care can be challenging for some people in our communities. So, we are committed to improving access. And last, but certainly not least, we promise to see patients as diverse individuals with their own unique needs.In this annual report, we highlight the ways our valued employees and community partners are working together to keep our promises to the communities we serve. From helping firefighters access lung cancer studies at world-class research hospitals, to helping busy parents schedule pediatrics appointments on their own time, and using the latest in diagnostic technology to help people with congestive heart failure stay out of the hospital. We are also helping the state address a critical shortage of psychiatric inpatient beds while addressing the state's long-term community-based mental and behavioral health needs.These stories in this report are just a few examples of the promises we work hard to keep every day. This work inspires us. We hope it inspires you too.Timothy J. Dentry, MBAPresident & CEONorthern Light HealthKathy CoreyBoard ChairNorthern Light HealthAcadia for AllEmerald Forcier is walking an aisle of gleaming white chairs carefully set on a lush green lawn overlooking the Penobscot River. Her husband, Kurt is hustling along on a lawn tractor, making sure the lawn is short and neat for the upcoming wedding the couple plans to host at their venue, Penobscot Bay Weddings in Winterport. As her four-year-old daughter, Maisie picks wildflowers, Forcier is holding her 8-month-old son Miles in her arms while she thinks about all the work she has left to do in the wedding tent. I often say to friends and family when they ask how I'm doing, I'm like, I am exhausted. We're starting a new business. And yet the deep, important things are wonderful.But seven years ago, things were not wonderful for Forcier in terms of her mental health. She was living on the island of Bali; she was having difficulty getting the medications to manage her depression, and she was in a suicidal state. She moved back to the United States and attended an inpatient treatment program, which she credits with saving her life. After six months of hard work restarting her life, she was back in Maine, but her health insurance was due to expire at the beginning of the new year. Despite spending four weeks consistently trying, Forcier could not access any outpatient provider to renew her prescriptions. Desperate for help, she ended up in a hospital emergency department on New Year's Eve 2015. Even then, she was sent away multiple times because psychiatric care was not available.I remember what it was like when I had reached my rock bottom and I needed inpatient services. I also remember the fear and helplessness of being stuck in the emergency department, unable to access the care I needed. I frankly cannot even imagine the terror and the sadness of experiencing both of these things at once. The day a person needs inpatient care is one of the worst days of their life. To be stuck in an emergency department with nowhere to go is a devastating experience far too many people face, and I cannot imagine a child or their parent going through that.Forcier's experience is unfortunately all too common. Across Maine, there simply are not enough inpatient beds and people who end up in crisis situations turn to hospital emergency departments.Nadia Mendiola, MD, an adolescent psychiatrist at Northern Light Acadia Hospital, sees it all too often. She says it's particularly troubling when children get stuck in these emergency departments for several weeks, or even months, waiting for an inpatient bed. Emergency care physicians, they're wonderful at their job but they're not psychiatrists. They have limited options, they have limited space, and you're talking about kids who can't even function in a big home or a big school and now you're confining them to a little spot. It's just not conducive to good care.This is one of the reasons why Northern Light Acadia Hospital is undertaking an ambitious expansion project to double the number of its single occupancy rooms. The 50,000 square feet expansion will add 50 pediatric inpatient rooms as well as new group and individual treatment spaces. The 50 existing inpatient rooms are being remodeled to single occupancy, adult inpatient rooms to better meet current behavioral healthcare standards.Acadia President Scott Oxley knows the expansion is needed. Unfortunately, the kids we see today are sicker than they were 30 years ago, so we need more circulation space, more room for group therapies. And really, our existing facility does not accommodate that, shares Oxley.In addition to the new inpatient rooms, there will also be an expansion of the Mood and Memory clinic for patients with Alzheimer's disease and dementia, and an endowment created for workforce development, recruitment, and retention. All this work requires substantial investment, and Oxley says community support thus far has been exceptional.Long term, the key to our success is early detection, early intervention, keeping folks in their communities, and keeping them out of the highest level of care. The reality is there's such a shortage of inpatient beds, that the need is urgent for inpatient beds while we work strategically and collaboratively on the longer-term plan.For more information about the Capital Campaign go to northernlight.org/AcadiaForAll Donors have given generously to the Acadia for All campaign including the Stephen and Tabitha King Foundation which donated one million dollars. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Bingo!How's your heart health?Beverly Fowler is her name and Bingo is her game. Every Monday and Wednesday, Fowler leaves her Bangor apartment and heads to the Bangor Elks Lodge to have lunch with friends, play a few card games, and set up for evening Bingo. Usually on a Monday night, we get between 80 and 100 people, which is a good, good evening. Some winter nights, if it's snowing or something, we only get about 70, but that's still pretty good, she says. Fowler also plays Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays. Saturday is a free day, she says with a chuckle.At 83 years old, Fowler enjoys staying active and socializing, but managing her congestive heart failure was slowing her down. I kept filling up with fluids and ending up in the hospital for a week at a time. That's happened three or four times, says Fowler.Alan Jansujwicz, MD, general cardiologist and director of Northern Light Cardiovascular Care is working to improve the quality of life of patients like Beverly by keeping them out of the hospital. We know patients with heart failure end up being hospitalized over the course of time and each hospitalization matters. The statistics say that if you're hospitalized with heart failure, over the next six months to a year, your risk of not doing well is higher than before you were hospitalized, says Dr. Jansujwicz.Now, Northern Light Health is offering a new option to patients like Fowler, so they can monitor their condition and correct course before needing hospitalization. A remote monitoring device is implanted in the patient's pulmonary artery through a blood vessel in the groin. It measures pulmonary artery pressure and sends information to a receiver that resembles a giant pillow, which the patient lays on to take daily readings. The receiver records and sends the information to a secure website where a patient care manager like Janet Glidden, RN, BSN, MBA, reviews it. If Glidden sees troubling changes in a patient's numbers, she can call them and talk about what's happening. I'll look at their readings, and if I see they are ranging up, I'll call. They may not feel like there's any change, but I'll say, Your numbers are up. What did you do differently yesterday?' It almost always relates to diet or having too many fluids, Glidden shares.If the pressure's going up, it tells us the patient might be heading toward heart failure. Maybe we can stop that before it happens by increasing their therapies as opposed to them just slowly slipping into heart failure, getting past that early detection point, and ending up in the emergency department or hospitalized, adds Dr. Jansujwicz.Fowler say
