LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL	PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5: FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA), LVHN DEFINES THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES AS ALL INDIVIDUALS LIVING WITHIN THE COUNTIES THAT CONTAIN OUR HOSPITAL CAMPUSES. LVHN IS REQUIRED TO PRODUCE A CHNA HEALTH PROFILE FOR EACH OF OUR LICENSED FACILITIES TO ADDRESS THE LOCAL CONTEXT OF THE DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. THEREFORE, LVHN HAS PRODUCED SEVEN CHNA HEALTH PROFILES FOR OUR LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL (LVH) CAMPUSES: LVH-CARBON (CARBON COUNTY); LVH-DICKSON CITY (LACKAWANNA COUNTY); LVH-HAZLETON (LUZERNE COUNTY); LVH-POCONO (MONROE COUNTY); LVH-CEDAR CREST, LVH-17TH STREET, AND LVHN-1503 N. CEDAR CREST (LEHIGH COUNTY); LVH-HECKTOWN OAKS, LVH-MUHLENBERG, AND LVHN-HIGHLAND AVENUE (NORTHAMPTON COUNTY); AND LVH-SCHUYLKILL (SCHUYLKILL COUNTY).WE ADDITIONALLY ASSESSED HEALTH NEEDS WITHIN THE CITY OF ALLENTOWN TO REFLECT THE URBAN COMMUNITY SURROUNDING OUR 17TH STREET CAMPUS IN THE LEHIGH COUNTY REPORT. WITHIN THE ENTIRE GEOGRAPHIC POPULATION THAT MAKES UP THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE, WE PLACE A GREATER EMPHASIS ON INCLUDING INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY WHO ARE EXPERIENCING HEALTH DISPARITIES TO A GREATER EXTENT OR WHO ARE AT RISK FOR NEGATIVE HEALTH OUTCOMES BECAUSE OF THE SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS INFLUENCING THEIR HEALTH.IT IS WELL DOCUMENTED THAT THE CLINICAL CARE PROVIDED TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS ONLY ACCOUNTS FOR A SMALL PORTION OF AN INDIVIDUAL'S OVERALL HEALTH. THERE ARE MANY OTHER FACTORS THAT OCCUR OUTSIDE THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE AND HOSPITAL WALLS THAT INFLUENCE HEALTH BEYOND MEDICAL CARE. THEY INCLUDE:- SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC FACTORS, SUCH AS EDUCATION, EMPLOYMENT, AND SOCIAL SUPPORT,- PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT FACTORS, SUCH AS HOUSING, TRANSPORTATION, AND AIR QUALITY,- HEALTH BEHAVIORS, SUCH AS SMOKING, DRINKING, DIET, AND EXERCISE.THEREFORE, THE CHNA HEALTH PROFILE PROVIDES INFORMATION ABOUT HEALTH CARE AS WELL AS OTHER HEALTH FACTORS FOLLOWED BY HEALTH OUTCOMES. THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF DATA INCLUDED IN THE CHNA HEALTH PROFILES. THE FIRST TYPE IS QUANTITATIVE DATA, OR NUMBERS AND STATISTICS ABOUT THE OVERALL POPULATION IN THE COMMUNITY. THESE STATISTICS COME FROM A VARIETY OF LOCAL, STATE, AND NATIONAL SOURCES INCLUDING THE CENSUS, THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL, THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, AND THE CENTERS FOR MEDICAID AND MEDICARE SERVICES. MOST OF THESE DATA POINTS ARE COMPILED TOGETHER THROUGH A PLATFORM CALLED SPARKMAP FROM CARES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI EXTENSION, WHICH LVHN USES AS THE STARTING POINT FOR ITS CHNA HEALTH PROFILES, ADDING OTHER KEY STATE AND LOCAL DATA SOURCES TO THE DATA PROVIDED THROUGH THIS HEALTH REPORT.IN ADDITION, NON-PROFIT HOSPITAL SYSTEMS ARE REQUIRED TO OBTAIN INPUT FROM INDIVIDUALS WHO REPRESENT THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING THOSE WITH PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERTISE AND THE VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. LVHN CHOSE TO OBTAIN THIS INPUT THROUGH COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS AND KEY STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND LEADERS. THIS TYPE OF DATA IS REFERRED TO AS QUALITATIVE DATA. FOR EACH CAMPUS, WE PARTNERED WITH AN EXTERNAL COMMUNITY COLLABORATOR WHO HAS EXPERIENCE IN QUALITATIVE DATA COLLECTION TO CONDUCT THESE FOCUS GROUPS AND INTERVIEWS ON LVHN'S BEHALF. THIS PROCESS PROVIDED COMMUNITY MEMBERS WITH AN INDEPENDENT AND OBJECTIVE OPPORTUNITY TO IDENTIFY AND SHARE THEIR PERSONAL EXPERIENCES AND PERSPECTIVE ON THE MOST PRESSING HEALTH NEEDS FACING THEIR COMMUNITY AS WELL AS WHERE THEY WOULD LIKE LVHN TO FOCUS ITS ATTENTION. IN CARBON COUNTY, LVH PARTNERED WITH EAST CENTRAL AREA HEALTH EDUCATION CENTER, A NONPROFIT LOCATED IN LEHIGHTON WHICH FOCUSES ON IMPROVING HEALTHCARE ACCESS AND BUILDING A QUALITY HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE. IN LEHIGH AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTIES, LVH PARTNERED WITH TWO FACULTY MEMBERS FROM CEDAR CREST COLLEGE. THE FOCUS GROUPS AND INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED BETWEEN NOVEMBER 2021 AND JANUARY 2022. IN LEHIGH COUNTY, WHERE OUR CEDAR CREST, 17TH STREET, AND 1503 NORTH CEDAR CREST CAMPUSES ARE LOCATED, 54 PARTICIPANTS WERE INVOLVED IN COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS AND 4 ADDITIONAL KEY STAKEHOLDERS WERE INTERVIEWED. IN NORTHAMPTON COUNTY, WHERE OUR MUHLENBERG, HECKTOWN OAKS, AND HIGHLAND AVENUE CAMPUSES ARE LOCATED, 42 PARTICIPANTS WERE INVOLVED IN COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS AND 5 ADDITIONAL KEY STAKEHOLDERS WERE INTERVIEWED. IN CARBON COUNTY, WHERE OUR CARBON CAMPUS IS LOCATED, 24 PARTICIPANTS WERE INVOLVED IN COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS AND 6 ADDITIONAL KEY STAKEHOLDERS WERE INTERVIEWED.BELOW IS A SUMMARY OF THE ORGANIZATIONS REPRESENTED IN THE COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS AND INTERVIEWS AS WELL AS A SUMMARY OF THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THOSE WHO PARTICIPATED.

LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL	PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11: PRIORITY AREA: MENTAL HEALTH PREVENTION AND EDUCATION (LEHIGH AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTIES)LVH-LEHIGH VALLEY'S 2022 CHNA CALLED ATTENTION TO THE ONGOING CONCERNS THAT RESIDENTS HAVE REGARDING THE MENTAL HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN THEIR COMMUNITY. PARTICIPANTS FELT THAT ONE'S MENTAL HEALTH IS AS IMPORTANT AS ONE'S PHYSICAL HEALTH. THEY NOTED THAT WHILE MENTAL HEALTH WAS A CHALLENGE PRIOR TO THE PANDEMIC, THE SOCIAL ISOLATION AND SENSE OF LOSS THAT COVID-19 HAS FORCED EVERYONE TO EXPERIENCE HAS FURTHER EMPHASIZED THE NEED. SOME PEOPLE ARE NOW SELF-MEDICATING, WHICH IS A CONCERN. COMMUNITY MEMBERS FELT THAT IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND HELP WHEN DEALING WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, PARTICULARLY FOR PEOPLE WITH A DUAL DIAGNOSIS (MENTAL HEALTH DISORDER AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER). CONCERN WAS EXPRESSED ABOUT MARGINALIZATION AND INEQUITIES, ESPECIALLY FOR BLACK AND BROWN COMMUNITY MEMBERS, THOSE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS, AND INDIVIDUALS WITHIN THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY. IN ADDITION TO WHAT WE HEARD FROM FOCUS GROUPS, WE ALSO KNOW FROM DATA FROM THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL THAT LEHIGH AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTIES BOTH HAVE HIGH RATES OF SUICIDE (14.7 AND 16.4 PER 100,000 RESPECTIVELY).AS THERE IS STILL STIGMA ATTACHED TO NEEDING HELP FOR MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, LVH-LEHIGH VALLEY'S GOAL IS TO DECREASE STIGMA AND INCREASE THE SKILLS OF PROFESSIONALS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO RECOGNIZE MENTAL HEALTH CONCERNS AND PROMOTE MENTAL WELLNESS. PARTICIPANTS FELT THAT THE YOUNGER GENERATION TALKS MORE ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH, BUT THERE IS ALSO A GROWING CONCERN ABOUT SUICIDE AMONG YOUTH. IN OUR REGION, SUICIDE IS THE SECOND LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH AMONG TEENS. COMMUNITY MEMBERS NOTED THAT THERE IS A NEED FOR ADDITIONAL MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES (E.G., INPATIENT, COUNSELORS) AND FOR PREVENTION EFFORTS, SUCH AS TEACHING HEALTHY COPING SKILLS. THEY WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SEE LVHN PRESENT A MORE ENGAGED, POSITIVE, EMPATHIC, INTERACTIVE PRESENCE IN THE COMMUNITY AND DO MORE TO ENGAGE MARGINALIZED MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY.IN RESPONSE TO THE CONCERNS OUTLINED ABOVE, LVH-LEHIGH VALLEY PRIORITIZED OPPORTUNITIES TO PROVIDE MENTAL HEALTH EDUCATION AND TO CONNECT WITH INDIVIDUALS WHO MIGHT BENEFIT FROM MENTAL HEALTH CARE AND INFORM THEM ABOUT AVAILABLE SERVICES. WE HAVE FOUND THAT HEALTH FAIRS AND COMMUNITY EVENTS PROVIDE CONVENIENT AND HIGHLY ACCESSIBLE WAYS FOR INDIVIDUALS TO TALK AND LEARN ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH AND MENTAL HEALTH CARE OPTIONS. WE HAVE PROVIDED THESE OPPORTUNITIES THROUGHOUT OUR COMMUNITIES WITH AN EYE TOWARD ENGAGING A WIDE VARIETY OF PEOPLE AND GROUPS.THE FOLLOWING COMMUNITY EVENTS WERE COMPLETED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHIATRY IN FY2024.-- PROVIDED ONGOING SUPERVISION AND SUPPORT OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHO WERE TRAINED IN INTEGRATIVE COMMUNITY THERAPY (ICT) DURING FY2023.

IN FY2023, THERE WERE 35 PARTICIPANTS IN THE 8-WEEK MINDFULNESS BASED STRESS REDUCTION PROGRAM AND MANY MORE ATTENDED AN INTRODUCTORY-LEVEL CLASS.PRIORITY AREA: SCHOOL-BASED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH (LEHIGH AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTIES)THE 2022 CHNA PROCESS FOR LVH-LEHIGH VALLEY REVEALED INCREASING MENTAL HEALTH CONCERNS, INCLUDING INCREASED SUBSTANCE ABUSE, PARTICULARLY AMONG YOUTH. LEHIGH AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTY RESIDENTS AND LEADERS WHO PARTICIPATED IN COMMUNITY MEETINGS SHARED THAT MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES ARE UNDERLYING MANY OF THE OTHER SOCIAL AND HEALTH ISSUES SEEN IN THE COMMUNITY. THERE HAS BEEN AN INCREASE IN ALCOHOL AND DRUG USE, LEADING TO MORE SUICIDES, INCLUDING AMONG YOUTH. EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A GROWING NEED, THERE ARE LIMITED RESOURCES IN THE COUNTY TO ADDRESS MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE ISSUES. THERE IS A WEAK SUPPORT SYSTEM, AND THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH COUNSELORS OR HOSPITAL SERVICES. DATA FROM THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL, WHICH WERE REVIEWED AS PART OF LVH 'S CHNA PROCESS, REVEALED THAT LEHIGH AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTY'S SUICIDE RATE (24.2/100,000) IS WELL ABOVE THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE SUICIDE RATE (13.8).AS A RESULT OF THESE CONCERNS, A GOAL WAS SET TO INCREASE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE FOR STUDENTS BY PROVIDING ACCESS TO ON-SITE OR TELEHEALTH THERAPY. SERVICES PROVIDED TO STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES USE TRAUMA- INFORMED, EVIDENCE-BASED, FAMILY-ALLIED, AND CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE APPROACHES. THE LEHIGH VALLEY REILLY CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL SCHOOL-BASED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH (SBBH) PROGRAM PARTNERS WITH SCHOOL DISTRICTS ACROSS THE HEALTH NETWORK'S SERVICE AREA TO REMOVE BARRIERS TO MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT BY PROVIDING OUTPATIENT THERAPY FOR STUDENTS DURING THE SCHOOL DAY. EACH YEAR, HUNDREDS OF CHILDREN WHO OTHERWISE WOULD NOT HAVE ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT ARE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN SCHOOL-BASED THERAPY TO HELP THEM ADDRESS THEIR TRAUMA, IMPROVE THEIR SCHOOL PERFORMANCE, AND STRENGTHEN THEIR OVERALL WELL-BEING. THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES AND EACH THERAPIST CARRIES A CASELOAD OF 35 STUDENTS.CASELOADS REMAINED FULL IN FY2024, AND SATISFACTION WITH THE SERVICE WAS EXPRESSED BY STUDENTS, PARENTS, SCHOOL STAFF, AND SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS. WHILE FACE-TO-FACE SERVICES WERE THE PRIMARY MODALITY FOR TREATMENT, TELEHEALTH WAS VALUED TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO STUDENTS WHO WERE NOT ONSITE AT THE SCHOOL BUILDING DUE TO ILLNESS, INCLEMENT WEATHER, OR ALTERNATIVE PLACEMENT. TELEHEALTH WAS ALSO USED TO INCREASE FAMILY PARTICIPATION IN YOUTH THERAPY SESSIONS, EXPAND SERVICES IN SITES WITH WAITLISTS, AND TO INCREASE THE SERVICE AREA TO INCLUDE STUDENTS AT SCHOOL SITES WITHOUT IN-PERSON SERVICES, SUCH AS FREEDOM AND LIBERTY HIGH SCHOOLS IN BETHLEHEM AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT. OF ENCOUNTERS CONDUCTED IN LEHIGH AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTIES DURING FY2024, 9% WERE CONDUCTED THROUGH TELEHEALTH. TEN PERCENT OF SERVICES WERE PROVIDED THROUGH TELEHEALTH IN FY2023.IN FY2024, OVER 1,300 HOURS OF IN-KIND SERVICES WERE PROVIDED TO SCHOOLS IN THE LEHIGH AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTY AREA. THESE HOURS WERE USED TO PROVIDE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED STUDENTS, ASSIST FAMILIES TO OBTAIN MEDICAL ASSISTANCE AND PROPER GUARDIANSHIP PAPERWORK FOR THEIR CHILDREN, AND TO PROVIDE MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS, EDUCATION AND CONSULTATION TO PARTNER DISTRICTS AND THEIR COMMUNITIES.

THAT YEAR, THE INTERN TEAM FOCUSED ON PSYCHOEDUCATION AND RESOURCE FINDING. WITH CLINICAL OVERSIGHT, THE INTERNS DEVELOPED CURRICULUM FOR THREE TIER 2, PSYCHOEDUCATIONAL GROUPS ON LGBTQ+ INCLUSIVITY, LIFE SKILLS, AND MINDFULNESS. IN SPRING 2023, THESE THREE GROUPS WERE IMPLEMENTED ACROSS SEVERAL SCHOOL SITES. IN FY2024, THE PROGRAM WELCOMED FIVE NEW INTERNS WHO CONTINUED THE FACILITATION OF GROUPS, THIS YEAR ON SOCIAL SKILLS AND TEAM BUILDING, TO 126 STUDENTS ACROSS 16 SCHOOL SITES. THE INTERNS ALSO CREATED TIP SHEETS, ACTIVITY SHEETS, AND SHORT VIDEOS TO REFLECT MENTAL HEALTH AND HERITAGE MONTH. THESE RESOURCES WILL CONTINUE TO BENEFIT THE PROGRAM IN FUTURE YEARS.

FQHC LOOK-ALIKES RECEIVE ENHANCED REIMBURSEMENT FROM MEDICAID AND MEDICARE TO PROVIDE WHOLE-PERSON CARE, CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE HEALTH CENTER TO LOOK BEYOND MEDICAL CARE AND FOCUS ON SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH THAT COULD BE SOME OF THE UNDERLYING CAUSES OF POOR HEALTH.
PART I, LN 7 COL(F):	THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE REPORTED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25 IS $121,930,490.
PART III, LINE 2:	PATIENT ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBT ARE IDENTIFIED. THE COST TO PROVIDE CARE TO THESE PATIENTS IS CALCULATED BY MULTIPLYING THE TOTAL CHARGES WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBT BY THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO.
PART III, LINE 3:	THIS AMOUNT IS THE COST TO PROVIDE CARE TO UNINSURED PATIENTS THAT DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCESS TO DETERMINE IF THEY ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE COST IS DETERMINED USING COST TO CHARGE RATIOS. THE RATIONALE FOR INCLUDING THE COST TO PROVIDE CARE TO UNINSURED PATIENTS THAT DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROCESS IS THE HOSPITAL'S EXPERIENCE WITH UNINSURED PATIENTS THAT DO PARTICIPATE IN THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. WHEN THE HOSPITAL EVALUATES UNINSURED PATIENTS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, THE MOST COMMON FINDING IS THAT UNINSURED PATIENTS HAVE INCOME LESS THAN 400% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINE AND QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE HOSPITAL BELIEVES THAT UNINSURED PEOPLE WHO CHOOSE NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROCESS AND HAVE THEIR ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBT, HAVE INCOME THAT WOULD QUALIFY FOR THE HOSPITAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.
PART III, LINE 4:	THE ORGANIZATION ESTIMATES AN IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSION RELATED TO UNINSURED ACCOUNTS, NET OF THE AGB (AMOUNTS GENERALLY BILLED) DISCOUNT, TO RECORD THE NET SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AT THE ESTIMATED AMOUNTS THE ORGANIZATION EXPECTS TO COLLECT. COINSURANCES AND DEDUCTIBLES WITHIN THE THIRD-PARTY PAYER AGREEMENTS ARE THE PATIENT'S RESPONSIBILITY SO THE ORGANIZATION INCLUDES THESE AMOUNTS IN THE SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND CONSIDERS THESE AMOUNTS IN ITS DETERMINATION OF THE PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE DEBTS BASED ON HISTORICAL COLLECTION EXPERIENCE. FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2024, AND 2023, RESPECTIVELY, LVH RECORDED A PROVISION FOR IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS OF $210,350,000 AND $200,183,000 AS A DIRECT REDUCTION TO PATIENT SERVICES REVENUES.IN INSTANCES WHERE THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES A PATIENT HAS THE ABILITY TO PAY FOR SERVICES AND, AFTER APPROPRIATE COLLECTION EFFORTS, PAYMENT IS NOT MADE, THE UNPAID PORTION OF THE ACCOUNT BALANCE IS WRITTEN-OFF TO THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS. AMOUNTS RECORDED AS PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS DO NOT INCLUDE CHARITY CARE.
PART III, LINE 8:	THE SOURCE OF THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS RELATING TO REVENUE RECEIVED FROM MEDICARE IS THE FY2024 MEDICARE COST REPORT. THE ENTIRE SHORTFALL ON LINE 7 SHOULD BE TREATED AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THE REVENUE AND EXPENSES ARE BOTH DETERMINED USING MEDICARE PRINCIPLES.
PART III, LINE 9B:	FINANCIAL COUNSELING STAFF WILL DETERMINE WHETHER PATIENTS MEET ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ACCOUNTS THAT DO NOT MEET THE ELIGIBLILTY REQUIREMENTS WILL BE REFERRED TO AN EXTERNAL RECEIVABLES FOLLOW UP AGENCY, AND IF NOT PAID, REFERRED TO A COLLECTION AGENCY AND SUBSEQUENTLY TRANSFERRED TO BAD DEBT STATUS IF THE ACCOUNTS REMAIN UNPAID.
PART VI, LINE 2:	AS PART OF THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, STARTING IN 2013, ALL NON-PROFIT HOSPITALS AND HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS ARE REQUIRED TO CONDUCT A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) EVERY THREE YEARS. THE CHNA REPORT EXAMINES THE FACTORS THAT IMPACT THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN A PARTICULAR GEOGRAPHIC AREA. BEYOND ITS REGULATORY FUNCTION, THE CHNA IS AN IMPORTANT OVERVIEW OF THE CURRENT STATE OF HEALTH IN OUR REGION AND IDENTIFIES POTENTIAL AREAS OF CONCERN WHICH INFORMS LEHIGH VALLEY HEALTH NETWORK'S (LVHN) POPULATION HEALTH MANAGEMENT EFFORTS. LVHN'S CHNA INCLUDES A HEALTH PROFILE, A REPORT THAT LOOKS AT ALL THE FACTORS THAT GO INTO MAKING PEOPLE IN A PARTICULAR AREA HEALTHY. THIS INCLUDES SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS LIKE EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION AND AIR QUALITY, INDIVIDUAL BEHAVIORS LIKE SMOKING OR HEALTHY EATING, AND THE QUALITY AND AVAILABILITY OF HEALTH CARE IN THEIR AREA. THIS INTRODUCTION PROVIDES AN OVERVIEW OF THE 2022 CHNA HEALTH PROFILE AND LVHN'S CHNA PROCESS. THE 2022 HEALTH PROFILE COMBINES DATA AND INFORMATION FROM LOCAL, STATE, AND NATIONAL SOURCES ABOUT DISEASE, THE ENVIRONMENT, SOCIAL FACTORS, AND INDIVIDUAL BEHAVIORS, WITH IDEAS, STORIES, AND EXPERIENCES FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND LEADERS FROM THROUGHOUT THE COUNTIES SERVED BY LVHN. THE SECOND COMPONENT OF THE LVHN'S CHNA INCLUDES AN IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, WHICH OUTLINES OUR PLAN TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE HEALTH PROFILE OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT THREE YEARS. THE 2022 CHNA HEALTH PROFILES AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN ARE PROVIDED AT WWW.LVHN.ORG/CHNA.THE 2022 LVHN CHNA HEALTH PROFILE IS BROKEN OUT INTO THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS: DEMOGRAPHICS, INCOME AND ECONOMICS, EDUCATION, HOUSING AND FAMILIES, OTHER SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC FACTORS, PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT, CLINICAL CARE AND PREVENTION, HEALTH BEHAVIORS, HEALTH OUTCOMES, AND SPECIAL TOPICS - COVID-19. TO INCREASE THE READABILITY OF THE REPORT, THE COMMUNITY WILL FIND TWO TYPES OF CALL-OUT BOXES THROUGHOUT THE CHNA HEALTH PROFILES. THE FIRST TYPE SUMMARIZES SOME OF THE DATA PRESENTED ON THAT PAGE, PROVIDING EASY-TO-READ, SUMMARY STATEMENTS OF IMPORTANT DATA ABOUT THE COMMUNITY. THE SECOND TYPE PROVIDES INFORMATION FROM THE INTERVIEWS AND COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS. THESE REPORTS HAVE BEEN REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY LVHN'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES AS WELL AS THE COMMUNITY RELATIONS COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD.VISIT WWW.LVHN.ORG/CHNA TO VIEW THE SIGNIFICANT NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN OUR MOST RECENTLY CONDUCTED CHNA AND HOW WE ARE ADDRESSING THOSE NEEDS.
PART VI, LINE 3:	CONSISTENT WITH THE MISSION AND VALUES OF LEHIGH VALLEY HEALTH NETWORK, IT IS THE POLICY TO PROVIDE MEDICAL CARE TO ALL INDIVIDUALS WITHOUT REGARD TO THEIR ABILITY TO PAY FOR SERVICES. THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY APPLIES TO UNINSURED AND UNDER-INSURED INDIVIDUALS WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCESS TO EVALUATE THEIR ABILITY TO PAY FOR LVHN SERVICES.PATIENTS ARE IDENTIFIED BY LVHN REGISTRATION, BENEFITS AND VERIFICATION, CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND FINANCIAL COUNSELORS AS BEING IN FINANCIAL NEED. THE FINANCIAL COUNSELORS HELP PATIENTS COMPLETE THE APPLICATION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. LVHN FOLLOWS THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES TO EVALUATE ELIGIBILITY.

PATIENTS WITH A FAMILY INCOME BELOW 400% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES WILL HAVE A PORTION OF THEIR BALANCE FORGIVEN FOR QUALIFYING SERVICES AT A PARTICIPATING LVHN PROVIDER. PATIENTS ARE EVALUATED FOR NO COST OR REDUCED PREMIUM INSURANCE PLANS. THE LVHN FINANCIAL COUNSELORS WILL OFFER INFORMATION TO PATIENTS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN SEEING IF THEY QUALIFY FOR THESE PROGRAMS OFFERED BY COMMERCIAL INSURANCE COMPANIES.PATIENTS OFTEN EXPRESS FINANCIAL CONCERN OR NEED BY CONTACTING THE LVHN CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENTS. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES EXPLAIN THE PROGRAMS AVAILABLE; FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND SUPPORT IN APPLYING FOR MEDICAL ASSISTANCE OR INSURANCE THROUGH THE FEDERAL HEALTH INSURANCE EXCHANGE.
