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 FootnoteIncome 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 5The 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 2018 and January 2019. Community forums with residents and service providers were held in the county. All forms of engagement included public forums and key informant interviews. The purpose of this outreach was to gather feedback on data and to identify health priorities, community assets, and gaps in resources to be used in health improvement planning. Local forums were conducted 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 October 30, 2018 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, pages 25-26): Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Maine Collaborative, Mount Desert Island Regional School District AOS 91, Deer Isle-Stonington Central School District (CSD 13), Downeast Community Partners, Downeast Public Health District, Eastern Area Agency on Aging, Friends in Action, George Stevens Academy, Hancock County Emergency Management Agency, Healthy Acadia, Healthy Island Project, Healthy Peninsula, Hospice Volunteers of Hancock County, Island Health & Wellness Foundation, Maine CDC, Maine Community Foundation, Mount Desert Island Hospital, Next Step Domestic Violence Project, Northern Light Acadia Healthcare, Northern Light Acadia Hospital, Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital, Northern Light Health, Northern Light Home Health & Hospice, Northern Light Maine Coast Hospital, Parker Ridge Retirement Community, Peninsula Ambulance, School Union 76 (Brooklin and Sedgwick Schools), State of Maine DHHS, Maine CDC, Town of Deer Isle.Key informant interview populations identified by the Maine Shared CHNA steering committee included medically underserved and vulnerable populations to ensure their input was heard and captured included: Veterans; Tribal communities; Adults ages 65 and older who are isolated or have multiple chronic conditions; Non-English speakers, undocumented individuals, immigrants, and refugees; Deaf individuals and those with other physical disabilities; Adolescents/youth; LGBTQ; People with mental health conditions and developmental disabilities; Rural individuals; Individuals in substance use disorder recovery/substance use disorder prevention and treatment professionals.The following is a list of organizations who participated in Key Informant Interviews. No Tribal representatives were able to be interviewed. In the future we hope to include this important group in the CHNA process: Alpha One, Androscoggin Home Healthcare + Hospice, Bingham Foundation, Cary Medical Center, Catholic Charities of Maine, Community Concepts, Community Caring Collaborative, Edmund Ervin Pediatric Center, MaineGeneral Health, Equality Maine, Family Medicine Institute, Frannie Peabody Center, Greater Portland Council of Governments, Healthy Acadia, Healthy Androscoggin, Healthy Communities of the Capitol Area, Kennebec Valley Council of Governments, Long Creek Youth Development Center, Maine Access Immigrant Network, Maine Alliance for Addiction and Recovery, Maine Alliance to Prevent Substance Abuse, Maine Chapter Multiple Sclerosis Society, Maine Council on Aging, Maine Migrant Health, Maine Seacoast Mission, Millinocket Chamber of Commerce, National Alliance on Mental Illness, Nautilus Public Health, Northern Light Maine Coast Hospital, Office of Aging and Disability Services, Penquis Community Action Agency, Portland Public Health, Seniors Plus, Sunrise Opportunities, Tri-County Mental Health Services, United Ambulance Service, Veterans Administration Maine Healthcare System, York County Community Action Corporation.
Facility: Northern Light Blue Hill Hospi - Part V, Section B, Line 6aThe Maine Shared CHNA was conducted through a collaborative effort among Maine's 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.
Facility: Northern Light Blue Hill Hospi - Part V, Section B, Line 11The data gathered from the 2019 Shared Community Health Needs Assessment (Shared CHNA) informed Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital's 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 hospital's 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 FY21:Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital participated in the Northern Light Health Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) system workgroup, which met bi-weekly through November 2020. The workgroup suspended meetings after this date to accommodate new system-level SDOH efforts. In January 2021, Northern Light activated four critical path project teams to plan and operationalize a system approach to identifying patients with social health needs. These groups oversaw standardization of the Cerner Social History Tool in the medical record, which will ensure patient demographics and health history are documented in a consistent fashion across all Northern Light member hospitals. The existing Food Insecurity form in Cerner was then updated to include six additional evidence-based questions to assess patients housing status and safety, transportation, utilities, daily activities, and isolation. The updated screening form aligns with most of the recommendations developed by the SDOH workgroup members. Both the SDOH Screening form and the updated Social History Tool went live in Cerner on 5/18/21 and are now available for use. Additional efforts during this year included foundational work to operationalize the Social Vulnerability Index and developing recommendations for implementation of a social care network platform (called Aunt Bertha). These additional Cerner functions are slated to go live in fiscal year 2022 (FY22) and will provide Northern Light with enhanced ability to understand social needs by populations and geographic location and provide seamless patient referrals to community-based organizations for assistance with social needs. Moving forward, the SDOH workgroup will be re-established in FY22 as the SDOH Team and report to Northern Lights Quality Council and will be responsible for developing, implementing, monitoring, and evaluating the effectiveness of the systems implementation of SDOH screening and intervention. Substance UseActions taken by Blue Hill Hospital to address this priority in FY21: Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital maintained a focus on substance use, specifically the use of medication-assisted treatment (MAT), through educational and training offerings for providers and staff. Education allowed for new providers to become MAT trained, refresh protocols, and to reinforce the addition of the rapid access into MAT in the Emergency Department for those patients with most limited access. Blue Hill Hospital providers were also able to provide peer support and training to their Hancock County team members at Northern Light Maine Coast Hospital through Grand Rounds and shared medical staff meetings focused on substance use and treatment options for our healthcare teams to best serve our community members in need.Access to CareActions taken by Blue Hill Hospital to address this priority in FY21: Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital utilized community partnership with Memorial Ambulance Corps and pivoted to meet the current needs of the community amidst the pandemic. Our Community Paramedicine program was impacted greatly by legislative, staffing, and financial resources, and we found our community program with one paramedicine program provider rather than five. This team, small in numbers, partnered with all available agencies and utilized any resources available to provide COVID-19 vaccinations, complete medication refill visits, vital sign checks, call patients to check in, and assist in several other ways. The team served 73 patients over the course of the year, and over 500 unique patient encounters. Whenever patients were well enough to come out of the program, paramedicine coordinators would communicate with case workers and the hospital staff to add additional patients to their roster to maximize their impact in the community. The community paramedicine team, care managers, and families also 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.Additional information related to actions taken by Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital on the above priorities can be found in their FY21 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 of 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). Blue Hill Heritage Trust is also actively addressing Age Friendly Access to exercise and nature in our community through accessible trails in the community, Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital participates in planning and supporting this work. We also provide ongoing cancer screening and chronic disease screening through our Accountable Care Organization and population health activities in primary care, and the Northern Light Palliative Care service line available now in Hancock County. In addition, our Access to Care and Social Determinants of Health priority plans will augment this priority area.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services DescriptionOTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Medicare shortfalls (at cost)22,587 persons served. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Please see the following excerpt from the Northern Light Health Annual Report 2021 to the Community for details of community benefit projects at NLH members:Community partnershipsTeamworkThe greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members." - Coretta Scott King These words strongly resonate when we look across our Northern Light Health community. If we measure a community's greatness by the compassionate actions of its members, then we are truly surrounded by greatness and there is much to celebrate. Our culture of caring begins with caring for one another and extends to the care we deliver to people across Maine in the many communities we serve. But if the pandemic has taught us anything, it's that compassion is evident not only in our excellent staff and community members but also in our community partners. Your generosity and innovation have helped extend our reach in living up to our promise to make healthcare work for the people we serve. Our list of community heroes is long, and this Annual Report only features a handful of the people and organizations who have made an important difference during a challenging time. We hope you find these stories as empowering and inspirational as we do.Timothy J. Dentry, MBA President & CEO Northern Light HealthKathy Corey Board ChairNorthern Light HealthA vaccine for everyone AccessOn a sunny July day, a brightly colored RV emblazoned with the faces of children from across the world sits parked outside the Luca Caf in Arundel. The Luca Caf is a quaint seasonal restaurant with Asian-inspired food that has covered outdoor seating and picnic tables. Standing beside some tables and folding chairs in front of the RV, Peggy Akers, RN, and Mary Robbins, RN, two Northern Light Home Care & Hospice nurses, administer doses of the COVID-19 vaccine to a diverse and willing group of peoplea group which might not have been vaccinated if not for the convenience of this mobile clinic and all the community partners that made it possible. There are populations that we are just not reaching. People who are undocumented, who would feel unsafe coming to a mass vaccination clinic where they might otherwise be asked to present identification or insurance information. We as an organization make it our mission that the only requirements for getting vaccinated are, are you a human being and do you want to be vaccinated? shares Robbins.Their partners for this clinic are Maine Community Action Partners, the New England Arab American Organization, Maine Association for New Americans, Maine Access Immigrant Network (MAIN), and the Maine Department of Health and Human Services COVID-19 Community Support Team. Chanbopha (Chan) Himm is also a member of the support team and co-founder of the Cambodian Community Association and Unified Asian Communities. Her mission is to help get people in underserved populations vaccinated. As some Asian Americans show up, she speaks with them in their native language and offers assurances. She has a welcoming smile and charisma, which seems to make her a natural fit for this kind of work. "They couldn't ask for a better place to get vaccinated," explains Himm, "because they've got the nurses here that care so much about them. And then they've got their cultural brokersthe ones doing the translations, the community leaders standing right behind them and letting them know that they're going to be okay. What more can someone ask for?" Himm is not just offering lip service when she compliments the Northern Light Home Care & Hospice nurses doing the clinics. Both Akers and Robbins have been doing this kind of work for a long time with community partners and have earned praise for their compassion and sensitivity. "I feel so lucky in a way to be part of this journey. Doing these vaccines has just been such a gift," shares Akers.If you would like to learn more about the COVID-19 vaccine or get vaccinated, please visit https://covid.northernlighthealth.org/Good health is good businessResiliencyA light summer breeze comes off the Union River as customers gather on picnic tables shaded by umbrellas on the lawn outside the Union River Lobster Pot restaurant in Ellsworth. They are hoisting glasses of cold draft beer as servers carry out plates piled high with steamed clams and boiled lobster garnished with leafy green parsley and lemon wedges. To restaurant owner Brian Langley, the summer of 2021 looks a lot different than the summer of 2020. It's a lot closer to normal, at least in terms of business volume. "We've seen a real influx of customers looking to escape to Maine from wherever they were in the country. They had to get out, and they wanted to go someplace safe. Maine was the epitome of both of those things, says Langley.But as normal as things look, it was a challenge to get here. Like many business owners, Langley was dealing with so many unknowns. How could he keep employees and customers safe from COVID-19? How could he overcome supply chain issues, staffing shortages, social distancing requirements, and government mandates? For these questions and more, Langley turned to Northern Light Health which had started offering business-to-business webinars via the Zoom video conferencing portal. "We call these webinars Good Health is Good Business," explains Carrie Arsenault, MBA, president of Northern Light Beacon Health, which spearheads the webinar series. "We bring experts together from across Northern Light Health and share resources and advice on how to return to business safely for employees, visitors, and customers." As a large employer dealing directly with COVID-19, Northern Light Health had the expertise and resources that business owners needed, with experts in infection prevention, supply chain, finance, and behavioral health, to name a few. "One of the reasons you found me every two weeks watching the webinars was to get an idea of what we would be facing, explains Langley. I looked for trusted information, and there you had it from the horse's mouth. You could ask the doctors and other experts direct questions, and if they didn't know something they acknowledged that. It wasn't curated, it was objective and unbiased" Langley explains. A planning group meets regularly to discuss topics, create presentations, and book panelists. James Jarvis, MD, FAAFP, Physician Leader, Incident Command, Northern Light Health, is a frequent panelist because of his expertise in the COVID-19 response. "Initially, I think they just wanted updates on what healthcare was doing and what was going on in our communities in relation to COVID-19. We realized that we needed to be a voice of science and reason to help mitigate fear. There was so much unknown in the beginning part of this pandemic that we felt an obligation to inform our businesses and communities of what we knew and what we thought was going to happen," explains Dr. Jarvis. Another panelist, Yemaya St. Clair, LCPC, counselor, Northern Light Work Force EAP, was brought in to offer mental health advice to business owners. Many recognized that their employees, and in some cases customers, were struggling to cope with the new normal of the pandemic. "Early on, when the masking mandates went into effect, we provided coaching around de-escalation, to help people stay calm. We also provided resiliency training and ways to help manage stress," shares St. Clair. For Brian Langley, valuable advice helped him navigate an uncertain time, helped his employees cope, and provided current information to help adapt his business. He used the pandemic as an opportunity to try new menu items and offerings, such as outdoor seating. Eventually, Langley took what he learned and shared it with other business owners as a webinar panelist. "What can I do that's different, and how do I survive? I think that's what I wanted to share," explains Langley. Arsenault says Northern Light Beacon Health will continue offering the webinars as long as there is a community need. "We are thrilled to be part of the solution to create healthy employees, healthy businesses and, as a result, healthy communities." OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Ladders of opportunityPart 1 DiversityWhen Ngozi Christopher, RN, BSN, first started working at Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center in 2017, she had already worked as a nurse for several years in Nigeria. She had clinical experience and a nursing education but didn't know how steep the cultural curve would be. She remembers one particularly difficult exchange with a patient's wife who was mad at Ngozi because she wouldn't make constant eye contact with her or her husband. "In Nigeria, when you're talking to an elder, you're not supposed to look eye-to-eye because thats a sign of rudeness," Ngozi explains. She now understands that generally, eye contact is important in western culture. Ngozi
