Pondera Medical CenterPart V, Section B, Line 5: We conducted two meetings with a 14-person steering committee which included public health, health care providers, commissioners, business owners, parents, farmers, and many other persons from the community. We sent out a random survey to all areas of our patient population and had a high response rate. We conducted 4 focus groups with persons of all age groups and demographics throughout the community. Other input was accepted via email.In addition to the survey process, PMC continues to collaborate with community partners on the implementation of the CHNA. PMC works closely with Pondera Healthcare Foundation and Pondera County Health department. Staff from PMC also serve on DUI Taskforce, Mental Health Advisory Board and Pondera County Health board which further integrates PMC with the community and helps with understanding the needs of the community. PMC also collaborates regionally with other CAH in projects related to cardiac disease/stroke and patient care transitions to promote access to healthcare and promote wellness.

Pondera Medical CenterPart V, Section B, Line 7d: The CHNA report and Implementation strategy are available at https://www.ponderamedical.org/chna
Pondera Medical CenterPart V, Section B, Line 11: In the most recent CHNA, the following needs were identified that will be addressed:1) Improve access to health and wellness2) Promote and explore opportunities to expand senior services 3) Improve access to health care servicesDue to financial restraints and space limitation, we will not be expanding worksite wellness.In March 2020 a Public Health Emergency (PHE) was declared which created new challenges for the delivery of healthcare in all venues due to restrictions. PMC experienced decrease in ability to provide services due to state-wide lockdowns. In an effort to continue to reach our goal to improve access to health and wellness PMC increased their presence on social media and local radio station to provide health and wellness updates related to the PHE. Additionally, the Rural Health Clinic (RHC) expanded the use of Telehealth to address the healthcare needs of the community and access to specialists. Our community outreach programs were cancelled due to the PHE. Our RHC started a Chronic Disease Program in January 2020 to promote wellness for patients that meet the criteria, and the RHC also participated in a mental health grant that addressed members of the community that benefited from mental health support.PMC Marketing specialist has promoted services provided at PMC via various social media platforms and has partnered with our community partners on promoting health and wellness. PMC RHC continues to work with specialty providers including Pulmonologist, Cardiologist and Oncology and expanded access to telehealth. The addition of MRI services weekly at PMC helped enhance services for the community and the Respiratory Therapy Department achieved Sleep Lab Accreditation and the Cardiac Rehab program received accreditation. One of our objectives was to increase women's health services at the RHC which was met with the recruitment of a FNP in 2019. The Opioid and Mental Health Grant which is being well utilized at the RHC with positive patient outcomes continued to be utilized in 2020. The RHC implemented a Chronic Disease Management program in 2020 which will further promote health and wellness. During the PHE even with restrictions for community events the facility was able to continue promoting health and wellness through increased marketing using different platforms.
