Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Intended uses of endowment funds

ENDOWMENT FUNDS ARE CREATED ACCORDING TO HOSPITAL NEEDS AND DESIGNATION OR PREFERENCES OF THE DONOR(S) SUPPORTING THE ENDOWMENT FUND. SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS, CONTINUED EDUCATION, OR FUNDS FOR PATIENT CARE IN A HOSPITAL DEPARTMENT DESIGNATED BY THE ENDOWMENT FUND ARE EXAMPLES OF FUND USES. THE ENDOWMENT FUNDS REPORTED ON THE HOSPITAL'S 990 ARE ALSO REPORTED ON NORTHWEST COMMUNITY HOSPITAL FOUNDATION'S FORM 990, SCHEDULE D.

Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote

THE AFFILIATES AND SUBSIDIARIES OF THE SYSTEM ARE PRIMARILY TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(C)(3), AND THEIR RELATED INCOME IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAX. ACCORDINGLY, THERE IS NO MATERIAL PROVISION FOR INCOME TAX FOR THESE ENTITIES. SOME OF THE INCOME RECEIVED BY EXEMPT ENTITIES IS SUBJECT TO TAXATION AS UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME. THE SYSTEM FILES FEDERAL INCOME TAX RETURNS AND RETURNS FOR VARIOUS STATES IN THE U.S.ASC 740-10, INCOME TAXES, REQUIRES THAT REALIZATION OF AN UNCERTAIN INCOME TAX POSITION IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT (I.E., GREATER THAN 50% LIKELIHOOD OF RECEIVING A BENEFIT) BEFORE IT CAN BE RECOGNIZED IN THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. FURTHERMORE, THIS INTERPRETATION PRESCRIBES THE BENEFIT TO BE RECORDED IN THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS THE AMOUNT MOST LIKELY TO BE REALIZED ASSUMING A REVIEW BY TAX AUTHORITIES HAVING ALL RELEVANT INFORMATION AND APPLYING CURRENT CONVENTIONS. THIS INTERPRETATION ALSO CLARIFIES THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT CLASSIFICATION OF TAX-RELATED PENALTIES AND INTEREST AND SETS FORTH NEW DISCLOSURES REGARDING UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS. NO AMOUNT WAS RECORDED FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022. AT YEAR-END DECEMBER 31, 2022, THE SYSTEM HAS A NET OPERATING LOSS CARRYFORWARD OF $340,271, WHICH GENERATED DEFERRED TAX ASSETS OF $96,228. THESE ASSETS ARE OFFSET BY A VALUATION ALLOWANCE OF $94,373.

Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 3E	THE SIGNIFCANT HEALTH NEEDS OF OUR PATIENTS AND COMMUNTIY ARE IDENTIFIED THROUGH PRIORITIZED DESCRIPTIONS REFLECTED IN THE CHNA.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 5 Facility , 1	Facility , 1 - NORTHWEST COMMUNITY HOSPITAL. AN ONLINE SURVEY WAS IMPLEMENTED AS PART OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS SPECIFICALLY TO SOLICIT INPUT FROM KEY INFORMANTS; INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE CONSIDERED EXPERTS IN PUBLIC HEALTH. POTENTIAL PARTICIPANTS WERE CHOSEN BECAUSE OF THEIR ABILITY TO IDENTIFY PRIMARY CONCERNS OF THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING THE MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED, LOW-INCOME AND MINORITY POPULATIONS SERVED BY THE HOSPITAL. IN JANUARY 2021, 44 POTENTIAL KEY INFORMANTS WERE IDENTIFIED WHICH INCLUDED COMMUNITY/ BUSINESS LEADERS, PHYSICIANS, OTHER HEALTH PROVIDERS, PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERTS AND SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES. A LETTER WAS SENT FROM THE HOSPITAL'S PRESIDENT AND CEO TO THE KEY INFORMANTS TO EXPLAIN THE PURPOSE OF THE SURVEY AND TO INVITE THEM TO PARTICIPATE. A LINK TO THE ONLINE SURVEY WAS THEN EMAILED TO EACH KEY INFORMANT AND WAS OPEN FROM FEBRUARY 1-10, 2021. A REMINDER EMAIL WAS SENT TO ENCOURAGE PARTICIPATION. THE KEY INFORMANTS WERE ASKED A SERIES OF HEALTH RELATED QUESTIONS, AND PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON ACCESS TO CARE, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, CHRONIC DISEASE/HEALTH ISSUES, MODIFIABLE RISK FACTORS AND OTHER CONCERNS. IT ALSO ASKED THEM TO RANK THEIR "TOP THREE HEALTH CONCERNS" FOR THE COMMUNITY. RESULTS FROM THE SURVEY WERE SUMMARIZED IN BOTH A QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE REPORT AND USED TO IDENTIFY MAJOR HEALTH PROBLEMS, GAPS IN SERVICES AND OTHER FACTORS WHICH MAY CONTRIBUTE TO LESS THAN OPTIMAL HEALTH STATUS FOR THE RESIDENTS OF OUR COMMUNITY. IN ALL, 24 OF THE 44 INVITED PARTICIPANTS TOOK PART IN THE ONLINE KEY INFORMANT SURVEY. THROUGH THIS PROCESS, INPUT WAS GATHERED FROM INDIVIDUALS WHOSE ORGANIZATIONS WORK WITH LOW-INCOME POPULATIONS, MINORITY POPULATIONS (INCLUDING AFRICAN-AMERICANS, ASIANS, EASTERN EUROPEANS, HISPANICS, INDIAN, JAPANESE, POLISH AND RUSSIAN), OR OTHER MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS (INCLUDING THE DISABLED, THE ELDERLY, THE HOMELESS, MEDICAID/MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, THE MENTALLY ILL, PREGNANT TEENS, SUBSTANCE ABUSERS, UNDOCUMENTED INDIVIDUALS, UNINSURED/UNDERINSURED RESIDENTS, VETERANS, YOUNG ADULTS AND WOMEN). THE HOSPITAL ALSO SOLICITED INPUT FROM THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE THROUGH AN ONLINE SURVEY. THE SURVEY WAS ANNOUNCED TO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH A PRESS RELEASE, A PAID ADVERTISEMENT IN A LOCAL NEWSPAPER, AND IT WAS FEAUTRED IN "A HEALTHIER YOU', NCH'S ELECTRONIC COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER. IT WAS ALSO SENT TO VOLUNTEERS, DONORS AND EMPLOYEES ASKING THOSE WHO LIVE IN THE HOSPITALS SERVICE AREA TO PARTICIPATE. THE SURVEY LINK WAS ON THE HOSPITALS HOME PAGE AND WAS OPEN FROM FEBRUARY 12-22, 2021. MORE THAN 360 PEOPLE PARTICIPATED IN THE SURVEY. THE HOSPITAL ALSO SOLICITED INPUT FROM VULNERABLE POPULATIONS IN THE COMMUNITY THROUGH FOCUS GROUPS. AN INDEPENDENT MODERATOR WAS HIRED TO CONDUCT TWO FOCUS GROUPS IN FEBRUARY 2021: ONE WITH SPANISH-SPEAKING UNDER-RESOURCED COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND ONE WITH ENGLISH-SPEAKING UNDER-RESOURCED COMMUNITY MEMBERS. POTENTIAL PARTICIPANTS WERE GIVEN A SHORT SCREENING QUESTIONNAIRE TO ENSURE THEY LIVED IN THE HOSPITAL'S SERVICE AREA AND SO THAT PARTICIPANTS WOULD VARY IN AGE, GENDER, INSURANCE STATUS, INCOME AND EDUCATIONAL LEVELS. THE FOCUS GROUPS FOLLOWED A GUIDELINE WHICH MIRRORED THE QUESTIONS INCLUDED IN THE COMMUNITY AND KEY INFORMANT SURVEYS SO THAT THE INFORMATION GATHERED COULD BE USED TO COMPARE WITH THE SURVEY RESULTS. THE MODERATOR SUMMARIZED THE RESULTS OF THE FOCUS GROUPS WHICH WERE USED AS ONE OF THE TOOLS IN IDENTIFYING THE MOST PREDOMINANT COMMUNTIY NEEDS. NCH ALSO CONDUCTED A FOCUS GROUP IN FEBRUARY 2021 WITH ITS PATIENT FAMILY ADVISORY COUNCIL, WHICH IS COMPRISED OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO USE NCH AS THEIR MEDICAL HOME. THE SAME FORMAT AS THE FOCUS GROUPS DESCIRBED ABOVE WAS USED, AND PROVIDED AN OPPORTUNITY TO GATHER INFORMATION ON THE COMMUNITYS BELIEFS AND PERCEPTIONS ABOUT THE HEALTH OF ITS COMMUNITY, WHICH SUPPLEMENTED THE DATA COLLECTED IN THE ONLINE COMMUNITY HEALTH SURVEY.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 1	Facility , 1 - NORTHWEST COMMUNITY HOSPITAL. TAKING INTO ACCOUNT HOSPITAL RESOURCES AND OVERALL ALIGNMENT WITH THE HOSPITAL'S MISSION, GOALS AND STRATEGIC PRIORITIES - IT WAS DETERMINED THAT NCH WOULD FOCUS THE MAJORITY OF ITS EFFORTS ON DEVELOPING AND/OR SUPPORTING STRATEGIES AND INITIATIVES TO IMPROVE THE FOLLOWING PRIORITY AREAS: BEHAVIORAL HEALTH (MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE), OBESITY, ACCESS TO CARE FOR THE UNDER-RESOURCED, CANCER (INCLUDING TOBACCO) AND CHRONIC DISEASE (DIABETES, HEART DISEASE, STROKE, AND HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE). KEY INDIVIDUALS THROUGHT THE HOSPITAL WERE IDENTIFIED TO SERVE ON ISSUE SPECIFIC COMMITTEES TO DEVELOP IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES FOR EACH OF THE PRIORITY AREAS FOR THE HOSPITALS FISCAL YEARS 2022 THROUGH 2025. THESE INDIVIDUALS ALSO DEVELOPED METRICS TO MEASURE THE SUCCESS OF THE STRATEGIES WHICH WILL BE MONITORED AND UPDATED ANNUALLY. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES FOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH INCLUDE FREE, IN PERSON MENTAL HEALTH ASSESSMENTS AND A FREE 24/7 RESOURCE AND REFERRAL PHONE LINE TO ASSIST COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN CRISIS. THE HOSPITAL ALSO CONDUCTS FREE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ASSESSMENTS AND CARE COORDINATION FOR HOSPITALIZED PATIENTS WITH SUBSTANCE ABUSE DISORDERS AND HAS AN OUTPATIENT ADDICTIONS PROGRAM PROVIDING MEDICATION ASSISTED TREATMENT FOR ALCOHOL, OPIOID, AND OTHER SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES FOR OBESITY INCLUDE A COMPREHENSIVE WEIGHT LOSS CLINIC, OUPATIENT NUTRITION COUNSELING, A COLLABORATIVE COMMUNITY FOOD PANTRY, LOW-COST MEMBERSHIPS AT THE NCH WELLNESS CENTER, AND A FOOD INSECURITY INPATIENT SCREENING PROGRAM WITH ONSITE SUPPORT FROM A FOOD PHARMACY. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES FOR ACCESS TO CARE FOR THE UNDER-RESOURCED INCLUDE A COMMUNITY NURSING AND COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKER PROGRAM. THE HOSPITAL'S DEDICATED CASE MANAGEMENT TEAM ALONG WITH TWO COMMUNITY HEALTH NURSES AND A COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKER PROVIDE OUTREACH AND ASSIST VULNERABLE PATIENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS WITH ACCESSING CARE. THE HOSPITAL ALSO FUNDS A CHARITABLE PRESCRIPTION AND FREE TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM TO FURTHER ASSIST THESE INDIVIDUALS. ACCESS TO ORAL HEALTH CARE FOR THE UNDER-RESOURCED IS ADDRESSED THROUGH A COLLABORATIVE MOBILE DENTAL CLINIC PROGRAM THAT IS OPERATED BY THE HOSPITAL WITH SUPPORT FROM FOUR LOCAL TOWNSHIPS, UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO DENTAL SCHOOL, HARPER COLLEGE, ADVANTAGE AMBULANCE AS WELL AS PROFESSIONAL VOLUNTEERS. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES FOR CANCER INCLUDE THE GIFT-A-MAMMOGRAM PROGRAM WHICH PROVIDES FREE SCREENINGS AND DIAGNOSTIC TESTING FOR UNDER-RESOURCED PATIENTS. THE HOSPITAL ALSO OFFERS LUNG SCREENINGS AND FREE TOBACCO CESSATION COUNSELING AND SUPPORT GROUPS TO AID WITH LUNG CANCER PREVENTION. TEN FREE SUPPORT GROUPS AND ANNUAL CANCER SURVIVOR EVENTS ARE FACILITATED BY THE HOSPITAL. THE HOSPITAL ALSO ADMINISTERS THE CANCER AND LUNG PATIENT FAMILY ASSISTANCE FUND WHICH PROVIDES ASSISTANCE TO CANCER PATIENTS STRUGGLING TO PAY THEIR RENT, UTILITIES AND OTHER LIVING EXPENSES. LASTLY, THE HOSPITAL DEVELOPED IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS A NUMBER OF CHRONIC DISEASES INCLUDING DIABETES, HEART DISEASE, STROKE AND HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE. THESE INITIATIVES INCLUDE A PATIENT NAVIGATION PROGRAM TO ASSIST CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE PATIENTS IN THE COMMUNITY AS WELL AS A COMPREHENSIVE OUTPATIENT CLINIC FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH HEART FAILURE OR AFIB. A STROKE SUPPORT GROUP IS OFFERED TO PROMOTE EMOTIONAL HEALING AFTER DIAGNOSIS. STAFF ALSO PROVIDES EDUCATION IN THE COMMUNITY FOCUSED ON EDUCATION AND PREVENTION OF CHRONIC DISEASE. THE KEY PRIORITY AREAS ALONG WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES AND METRICS CAN BE FOUND ON THE HOSPITALS WEBSITE (NCH.ORG). IN ACKNOWLEDGING THE WIDE RANGE OF HEALTH ISSUES THAT EMERGED FROM THE CHNA PROCESS, THE HOSPITAL DETERMINED IT COULD ONLY EFFECTIVELY FOCUS ON THOSE WHICH IT DEEMED MOST PRESSING, MOST UNDER-ADDRESSED, AND MOST WITHIN ITS ABILITY TO INFLUENCE. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS THAT THE HOSPITAL IS UNABLE TO ADDRESS ARE: ACCESS TO SPECIALTY AND VISION CARE FOR THE UNDER RESOURCED, CHILD ABUSE, ELDER ABUSE, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, DEMENTIA/ALZHEIMERS, TEEN SEXUALITY (PREGNANCY AND STD'S), AND SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS/ AFFORDABLE HOUSING. THE HOSPITAL BELIEVES ACCESS TO SPECIALTY AND VISION CARE WILL BE ADDRESSED THROUGH REFERRALS FROM PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS. THE HOSPITAL COLLABORATES WITH FOUR LOCAL NOT-FOR-PROFIT COMMUNITY AGENCIES (CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY CENTER, NORTHWEST CASA, CATHOLIC CHARITIES AND WINGS) TO ADDRESS CHILD ABUSE, ELDER ABUSE AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.THE HOSPITAL BELIEVES THERE ARE SUFFICIENT COMMUNITY RESOURCES INCLUDING PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS TO DIAGNOSE AND NURSING HOMES AND MEMORY CARE FACILITIES TO TREAT DEMENTIA AND ALZHEIMERS. THE HOSPITAL PARTNERS WITH LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT PROVIDE SEX EDUCATION AND SUPPORT SERVICES AND WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY CLINICS WHO ADDRESS PREVENTION AND TREAMENT OF PREGNANCY AND STD'S. THE HOSPITAL IS A HEALTHCARE FACILITY AND IS NOT EQUIPPED TO ADDRESS HOUSING ISSUES. NCH RELIES ON ITS LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES TO ADDRESS THESE CONCERNS. THE HOSPITAL SUPPORTS THE EFFORTS OF OTHERS TO ADDRESS THESE AREAS AND WILL FOCUS ITS LIMITED RESOURCES ON THE MORE PREDOMINANT NEEDS IDENTIFIED. FOR A COMPLETE LIST OF NEEDS AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES VISIT THE HOSPITAL'S WEBSITE (NCH.ORG).

Schedule H, Part VI, Line 2 Needs assessment	THE FY 2021 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT WAS CONDUCTED INDEPENDENTLY BY THE HOSPITAL INSTEAD OF BEING OUTSOURCED TO A VENDOR. THE HOSPITAL BELIEVED CONDUCTING ITS OWN ASSESSMENT WOULD YIELD MORE MEANINGFUL RESULTS AND A CLEARER SNAPSHOT OF THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES. THE ASSESSMENT WAS COMPRISED OF DATA COLLECTED FROM QUANTITATIVE, QUALITATIVE OR A COMBINATION OF BOTH RESOURCES. THE HOSPITAL CONTRACTED WITH SG2, AN INDUSTRY LEADER IN HEALTHCARE ANALYTICS AND CONSULTING, FOR QUANTITATIVE DATA. SG2 PROVIDED COMPREHENSIVE DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION OF THE HOSPITALS SERVICE AREA. THEY ALSO PROVIDED POPULATION GROWTH PROJECTIONS FOR THE COMMUNITY BY TOWN, AGE, GENDER, ETHNICITY/RACE, INCOME AND EDUCATION. IN ADDITION, THEY FORECASTED THE PROJECTED GROWTH OF CHRONIC DISEASE AREAS IN THE OUTPATIENT SETTING FOR THE HOSPITALS SERVICE AREA. CHANGES IN COMMUNITY DEMOGRAPHICS HAVE A DIRECT CORRELATION WITH HEALTHCARE NEEDS AND HOW TO ADDRESS THEM. ADDITIONAL QUANTITATIVE DATA WAS COLLECTED THROUGH SPARKMAP (SPARKMAP.ORG), WHICH IS A PRODUCT OF THE CENTER FOR APPLIED RESEARCH AND ENGAGEMENT SYSTEMS AND HOSTED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI. SPARKMAP USES LOCATION-SPECIFIC DATA TO CREATE MAPS AND COMMUNITY ASSESSMENTS THAT INFORM, GUIDE AND TRANSFORM THE WORK OF HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS. THE GOAL OF SPARKMAP IS TO INCREASE THE IMPACT OF THOSE WORKING TOWARD HEALTHY, EQUITABLE AND SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES. THE WEB PORTAL ALLOWS ACCESS TO DATA IN MULTIPLE CATEGORIES WHICH CAN BE USED TO EXPLORE COMMUNTIY HEALTH. CUSTOM TOOLS ALLOW THE USER TO FILTER DATA BY ZIP CODE AND CREATE A REPORT SPECIFICALLY FOR ITS COMMUNITY. IT ALSO ALLOWS THE USER TO CREATE A CUSTOM REPORT WHICH HIGHLIGHTS ITS COMMUNITIES' GREATEST AREAS OF CONCERN. THE LAST SOURCE OF QUANTITATIVE DATA WAS FROM THE 2020 COUNTY HEALTH RANKINGS AND ROADMAPS REPORT (COUNTYHEALTHRANKINGS.ORG), A COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON FOUNDATION AND THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN POPULATION HEALTH INSTITUTE. THE REPORT RANKED U.S. COUNTIES IN EVERY STATE ON VARIOUS HEALTH OUTCOMES, HEALTH FACTORS, SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, AND THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT. THE MAJOR GOAL OF THE RANKINGS IS TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT THE MANY FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE HEALTH AND THAT HEALTH VARIES FROM PLACE TO PLACE. ALTHOUGH THE RANKINGS PROVIDE VALUABLE COUNTY-WIDE INFORMATION IT DOES NOT EXAMINE DATA AT THE SUB-COUNTY LEVEL. COOK COUNTY IS UNIQUE IN THAT IT IS THE SECOND-MOST POPULOUS COUNTY IN THE UNITED STATES AFTER LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. THERE ARE 130 INCORPORATED MUNICIPALITIES PARTIALLY OR WHOLLY WITHIN COOK COUNTY, THE LARGEST OF WHICH IS CHICAGO, WHICH IS HOME TO APPROXIMATELY 54% OF THE POPULATION OF THE COUNTY. THE COOK COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH RECOGNIZES THE UNIQUENESS OF THE COUNTY AND IDENTIFIED INDICATORS FROM THE RANKINGS FOR WHICH LOCAL DATA EXISTED AND CREATED A REPORT SPECIFICALLY FOR SUBURBAN COOK COUNTY. TWO DIFFERENT SURVEYS WERE DEVELOPED TO COLLECT A COMBINATION OF BOTH QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DATA. NCH DEVELOPED A COMPREHENSIVE ONLINE COMMUNITY HEALTH SURVEY IN ORDER TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT INPUT FROM PERSONS WHO REPRESENT THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY SERVED BY THE HOSPITAL. THE SURVEY ASKED PARTICIPANTS TO SHARE THEIR BELIEFS AND PERCEPTIONS ABOUT ACCESS TO CARE, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, CHRONIC DISEASE/HEALTH ISSUES, MODIFIABLE RISK FACTORS/BEHAVIORS AND OTHER CONCERNS. IT ALSO ASKED THE PARTICIPANTS TO RANK THEIR "TOP THREE HEALTH CONCERNS" FOR THE COMMUNITY. THE COMMUNITY WAS INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ONLINE SURVEY THROUGH A MEDIA RELEASE AND A PAID ADVERTISEMENT IN A LOCAL NEWSPAPER, THE HOSPITALS ELECTRONIC COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER "A HEALTHIER YOU", THE HOSPITALS ELECTRONIC VOLUNTEER AND EMPLOYEE NEWSLETTERS, SOCIAL MEDIA AND THROUGH AN EMAIL ANNOUNCEMENT BY THE HOSPITALS FOUNDATION TO ALL DONORS. THE SURVEY LINK, LOCATED ON THE HOME PAGE OF THE HOSPITAL'S WEBSITE (NCH.ORG), WAS OPEN FROM FEBRUARY 12 TO 22, 2021 AND 364 PEOPLE RESPONDED. THE MAJORITY OF THE RESPONDENTS WERE CAUCASIAN (99%), FEMALE (71%) AND OLDER ADULTS (15% AGE 55-64, 36% AGE 65-74, AND 32% AGE 75 OR OLDER). THE MAJORITY (73%) HAD ATTAINED A COLLEGE DEGREE (ASSOCIATES OR HIGHER) AND HAD EITHER MEDICARE (63%) OR PRIVATE INSURANCE (34%). THE MAJORITY (72%) LIVE IN THE HOSPITAL'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREA AND THE REMAINDER (28%) LIVE IN THE HOSPITAL'S SECONDARY SERVICE AREA. RESULTS FROM THE SURVEY WERE SUMMARIZED IN A QUANTITATIVE/QUALITATIVE REPORT. IN ADDITION, AN ONLINE SURVEY FOR KEY INFORMANTS WAS CONDUCTED SPECIFICALLY TO SOLICIT INPUT FROM KEY INFORMANTS AS DESCRIBED IN PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 5. QUALITATIVE DATA WAS PRIMARY COLLECTED THROUGH FOCUS GROUPS. THE HOSPITAL REALIZED THE IMPORTANCE OF GATHERING OPINIONS AND FEEDBACK FROM VULNERABLE POPULATIONS IN THE COMMUNITY WHO HAVE SOME OF THE GREATEST HEALTHCARE NEEDS. AN INDEPENDENT MODERATOR WAS HIRED TO CONDUCT TWO FOCUS GROUPS IN FEBRUARY 2021: ONE WITH SPANISH- SPEAKING UNDER-RESOURCED COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND ONE WITH ENGLISH-SPEAKING UNDER-RESOURCED COMMUNITY MEMBERS. THESE FOCUS GROUPS WERE HELD AT THE COMMUNITY RESOURCE CENTER IN PALATINE, LOCATED IN THE HOSPITALS PRIMARY SERVICE AREA. POTENTIAL PARTICIPANTS WERE GIVEN A SHORT SCREENING QUESTIONNAIRE TO ENSURE THEY LIVED IN THE HOSPITAL'S SERVICE AREA AND SO THAT PARTICIPANTS WOULD VARY IN AGE, GENDER, INSURANCE STATUS, INCOME AND EDUCATIONAL LEVELS IF POSSIBLE. THE FOCUS GROUPS FOLLOWED A GUIDELINE WHICH MIRRORED QUESTIONS INCLUDED IN THE COMMUNITY AND KEY INFORMANT SURVEYS SO THAT THE INFORMATION GATHERED COULD BE USED TO COMPARE WITH THE SURVEY RESULTS. THE MODERATOR SUMMARIZED THE RESULTS OF THE FOCUS GROUPS WHICH WERE USED AS ONE OF THE TOOLS IN IDENTIFYING THE MOST PREDOMINANT COMMUNITY NEEDS. THE HOSPITAL ALSO CONDUCTED A FOCUS GROUP VIRTUALLY IN FEBRUARY 2021 WITH ITS PATIENT FAMILY ADVISORY COUNCIL, WHICH IS COMPRISED OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO USE THE HOSPITAL AS THEIR MEDICAL HOME. THE SAME FORMAT AS THE FOCUS GROUPS DESCRIBED ABOVE WAS USED AND PROVIDED AN OPPORTUNITY TO GATHER ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE COMMUNITY'S BELIEFS AND PERCEPTIONS ABOUT THE HEALTH OF ITS COMMUNITY, WHICH SUPPLEMENTED THE DATA COLLECTED IN THE ONLINE COMMUNITY HEALTH SURVEY. IN MARCH 2021, THE HOSPITAL CONVENED AN INTERNAL, MULTIDISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE THAT MET MULTIPLE TIMES TO REVIEW THE RESULTS OF THE CHNA, AFFIRM AND PRIORITIZE NEEDS AND TO IDENTIFY THE MOST QUALIFIED INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL PERSONS TO DEVELOP IMPLEMENTATION PLANS TO ADDRESS EACH PRIORITY NEED. REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE FOLLOWING HOSPITAL DEPARTMENTS SERVED ON THE COMMITTEE: BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, CARE COORDINATION, COMMUNITY BASED CARE, COMMUNITY SERVICES, COMPLIANCE, DIABETES SERVICES, EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, EMS, FOUNDATION, GUEST SERVICES, IMMEDIATE CARE CENTERS, MEDICAL GROUP, NURSING EXCELLENCE, PATIENT ACCESS SERVICES, PATIENT EXPERIENCE, AND RESEARCH. IN ADDITION, THE CHAIR OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTH AND OUTREACH COMMITTEE OF THE HOSPITALS BOARD OF DIRECTORS PARTICIPATED IN THE COMMITTEE. THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS WERE PROVIDED WITH AN OVERVIEW OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS AND RECEIVED A SUMMARY AND COMPARISON DOCUMENT WHICH WAS USED AS A TOOL TO REVIEW ALL OF THE QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE FINDINGS. THE FINDINGS FROM THE FOCUS GROUPS, COMMUNITY SURVEY AND KEY INFORMANT SURVEY WERE COMPARED AND THE SECONDARY DATA PROVIDED SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION. THE MOST COMMON THEMES AND COMMENTS FROM THE NARRATIVE PORTION OF THE SURVEYS WERE ALSO HIGHLIGHTED IN THE DOCUMENT. IN ADDITION, THE COMMITTEE WAS GIVEN WEB ACCESS TO THE COMPLETE SURVEY RESULTS, FOCUS GROUPS SUMMARIES AND ALL SECONDARY DATA. THE COMMITTEE WAS GIVEN TIME TO REVIEW THE SUMMARY AND COMPARISON DOCUMENT AND TO ACCESS THE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES AND THEN RECONVENED TO RANK OR PRIORITIZE THE ISSUES. THE COMMITTEE USED MAGNITUDE, IMPACT/SERIOUSNESS, FEASIBILITY AND CONSEQUENCES OF INACTION AS THE CRITERIA TO IDENTIFY WHICH HEALTH NEEDS WOULD BE ADDRESSED OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS. TAKING INTO ACCOUNT HOSPITAL RESOURCES AND OVERALL ALIGNMENT WITH THE HOSPITAL'S MISSION, GOALS AND STRATEGIC PRIORITIES - IT WAS DETERMINED THAT NCH WOULD FOCUS THE MAJORITY OF ITS EFFORTS ON DEVELOPING AND/OR SUPPORTING STRATEGIES AND INITIATIVES TO IMPROVE THE FOLLOWING PRIORITY AREAS: BEHAVIORAL HEALTH (MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE), OBESITY, ACCESS TO CARE FOR THE UNDER-RESOURCED, CANCER (INCLUDING TOBACCO) AND CHRONIC DISEASE (DIABETES, HEART DISEASE, STROKE, AND HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE). INTERNAL COMMITTEES WERE FORMED TO DEVELOP IMPLEMENTATION PLANS FOR EACH OF THE PRIORITY AREA AS DESCRIBED IN PART V, SECTION C, QUESTION 11. (continued)

Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy	All officers, directors and employees are required to report potential conflicts of interest to the Compliance Officer when his/her circumstances could create a conflict of interest, or prior to their arising, so that the health system can proactively review the report to identify actual and potential Conflicts of Interest. In addition, on an annual basis, members of the Board of Directors, Corporate Officers, and other key employees will be provided with a Conflict of Interest Questionnaire, which is used for purposes of reporting potential Conflicts of Interest. Subsequent to reporting, and depending on the nature of the matter, the Compliance Officer will review the reported information and arrive at a determination regarding the matter based upon his/her knowledge of the organization and/or in consultation with other members of management. Determinations will be reviewed with the Executive Leadership Team or designee for members of management, all categories of physicians, and the Board of Directors. Determinations will be reviewed with the Board of Directors for senior management and members of the Board of Directors. If it is determined that a Conflict of Interest exists, appropriate mitigating or remedial measures may be taken through a management plan. If a management plan has yet to be developed and the individual is involved in discussion related to his/her conflict, the individual must disclose the Conflict of Interest to those involved in the conversation and must recuse him/herself from participating in the conversation and making a decision on behalf of the health system. If this conversation takes place at a Board meeting, the minutes of the meeting should reflect the fact that the Conflict of Interest has been disclosed and the individual has recused him/herself. If the issue or circumstances cannot be adequately addressed through a management plan or if the proposed or actual arrangement is inconsistent with the health system's Guiding Principles for Conflicts of Interest, the conflict will be eliminated. Disclosure of the management plan may be made to appropriate individuals or committees, which may include patients, students, a department, group, or others as necessary. Monitoring and oversight of Conflicts of Interest and management plans will be conducted by the Executive Leadership Team. In the event that an individual engages in prohibited activities or does not provide prompt or transparent Reporting in compliance with this policy or does not comply with a determination and/or management plan, a review will be performed and appropriate corrective action may be taken, including retraining, referral for further action, termination of employment, termination of the agreement with the health system, or removal from the Board of Directors.
