(FOR PRIORITY SELECTION PROCESS DETAILS, SEE PAGES 77-78 OF THE 2017-2019 CHNA REPORT AT HTTPS://WWW.ADVOCATEHEALTH.COM/ASSETS/IMAGES/CHNA/0802_CHRIST_CHNA_F_1_16_2020JANUARY28.PDF )MENTAL HEALTH/SUBSTANCE ABUSE. ADVOCATE CHRIST WILL ADDRESS THE MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE ISSUES OF INDIVIDUALS IMPACTED BY TRAUMA THROUGH THE TRAUMA RECOVERY CENTER. THE MEDICAL CENTER WILL ADOPT STRATEGIES THAT IMPROVE THE RATES OF MENTAL HEALTH EMERGENCIES AND DECREASE ED VISITS AND HOSPITALIZATION DUE TO MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. IN ADDITION, ADVOCATE CHRIST WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD A PARTNERSHIP WITH STAFF FROM THE MEDICAL CENTER'S TRAUMA RECOVERY CENTER. GOALS TO ADDRESS MENTAL HEALTH INCLUDE PROVIDING ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID TRAININGS AND INCREASING EDUCATION, AWARENESS AND ACCESS TO SERVICES FOR MENTAL HEALTH. IN 2020, ADVOCATE CHRIST PARTNERED WITH SERTOMA CENTRE, INC., TO PROVIDE VIRTUAL PROGRAMMING FOR MENTAL HEALTH EDUCATION, COMPLETING THREE WEB-BASED TRAININGS WITH TOPICS IN SELF-CARE, UNDERSTANDING ANXIETY AND MANAGING CONFLICT. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH TEAM ALSO PARTNERED WITH THE ALLIANCE FOR HEALTH EQUITY TO COLLABORATE ON ADDRESSING ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES AND PROGRAMS.DIABETES. ED VISITS FOR DIABETES ARE HEAVILY CONCENTRATED IN THE WEST AND SOUTH SIDES OF CHICAGO AND THE SOUTHERN REGION OF SUBURBAN COOK COUNTY. THE AREAS WITH HIGH RATES OF ED VISITS LARGELY OVERLAP WITH COMMUNITIES WITH HIGH RATES OF POVERTY, UNEMPLOYMENT AND COST-BURDENED HOUSEHOLDS. AS A RESULT, THE MEDICAL CENTER'S CHC DECIDED THAT DIABETES INITIATIVES IN THIS SERVICE AREA ARE STILL NEEDED AND CONTINUE TO BE A BURDEN FOR RESIDENTS (THE ALLIANCE FOR HEALTH EQUITY, 2019). IN 2020, ADVOCATE CHRIST CONTINUED TO IMPLEMENT THE NATIONAL DIABETES PREVENTION PROGRAM (DPP). THE NATIONAL DPP IS A CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION PROGRAM TO PREVENT OR DELAY TYPE 2 DIABETES. ADVOCATE CHRIST OFFERED TWO DIABETES PREVENTION PROGRAMS 1) THE YEAR-LONG NATIONAL DIABETES PREVENTION PROGRAM (DPP), AND 2) THE EIGHT-WEEK DIABETES EMPOWERMENT AND EDUCATION PROGRAM (DEEP). THE MEDICAL CENTER ACHIEVED PRELIMINARY RECOGNITION STATUS AS A CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION (CDC) NATIONAL DIABETES PREVENTION PROGRAM IN 2020. THE PROGRAM GRADUATED THREE COHORTS WITH 33 PARTICIPANTS IN THE DEEP PROGRAM AND 16 PARTICIPANTS FROM THE DPP PROGRAM. DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, THE PROGRAM WAS TRANSITIONED FROM IN-PERSON LEARNING TO DISTANCE LEARNING (ONLINE/VIRTUAL). IN 2020, PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS ACHIEVED AN AVERAGE DECREASE IN BODY MASS INDEX (BMI) OF FIVE PERCENT AFTER COMPLETING THE PROGRAM. VIOLENCE PREVENTION. THE MEDICAL CENTER'S CHC IDENTIFIED VIOLENCE PREVENTION AS A SIGNIFICANT DETERMINANT OF HEALTH IN THE PSA AND WILL WORK WITH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL STAKEHOLDERS TO DEVELOP NEW AND STRENGTHEN EXISTING EFFORTS TO PREVENT VIOLENCE IN THE COMMUNITY. IN 2020, ADVOCATE CHRIST ENGAGED IN THE FOLLOWING ACTIVITIES TO ADDRESS VIOLENCE PREVENTION. ADVOCATE CHRIST PARTICIPATED IN THE CHICAGO HEAL INITIATIVE WHICH BRINGS TOGETHER HOSPITALS FROM LEADING HEALTH SYSTEMS TO ADDRESS VIOLENCE IN TARGETED CHICAGO NEIGHBORHOODS. THE ADVOCATE TRAUMA RECOVERY CENTER PROVIDED TRAUMA RECOVERY SERVICES TO 772 VICTIMS OF TRAUMA. THE ACCLIVUS COMMUNITY SUPPORT PROGRAM ASSISTED 745 VICTIMS OF VIOLENCE WITH REFERRALS TO COMMUNITY SUPPORT AND CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES. ADVOCATE CHRIST PARTNERED WITH UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MEDICINE TO CONTINUE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SOUTHLAND RISE INITIATIVE DEVELOPED TO ADDRESS VIOLENCE IN SOUTHSIDE CHICAGO NEIGHBORHOODS. THE SOUTHLAND RISE PARTNERSHIP PROVIDED 100,000 DOLLARS IN GRANT FUNDING TO COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS TO ADDRESS YOUTH VIOLENCE, COVID-19 STRATEGIES AND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH (SDOH) IDENTIFIED DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. IN ADDITION, A SOUTHLAND RISE VIOLENCE PREVENTION SUMMIT WAS CONDUCTED IN MARCH 2020 WITH CLOSE TO 200 PEOPLE IN ATTENDANCE. AS A RESULT OF THE 2017-2019 CHNA PROCESS, ADVOCATE CHILDREN'S-OAK LAWN WILL ADDRESS THE FOLLOWING PRIORITY AREAS FOR IMPLEMENTATION PLANNING FROM 2020-2022, INCLUDING: 1) ACCESS TO PRIMARY HEALTH CARE FOR LOW-INCOME CHILDREN; 2) SCHOOL-BASED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ASSISTANCE; AND 3) INFANT MORTALITY/PRE-TERM DELIVERIES/LOW BIRTH WEIGHT.ACCESS TO PRIMARY CARE. ADVOCATE CHILDREN'S WILL OFFER SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH SERVICES AT NO CHARGE TO HIGH-RISK, LOW-INCOME CHILDREN WHO ARE UNINSURED OR RECEIVING MEDICAID. SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE RONALD MCDONALD CARE MOBILE (RMCM) WILL INCLUDE FREE PHYSICALS, IMMUNIZATIONS, COMPLETION OF HPV VACCINE SERIES, ASSISTANCE WITH SECURING A MEDICAL HOME, WELLNESS AND HEALTH EDUCATION, COMMUNITY-BASED SOCIAL SERVICE REFERRALS AND FOOD INSECURITY SCREENING. IN 2020, ADVOCATE CHILDREN'S CONTINUED TO PARTNER WITH RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE CHARITIES OF CHICAGOLAND AND NORTHWEST INDIANA TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO FREE SCHOOL PHYSICALS AND IMMUNIZATIONS FOR AT-RISK CHILDREN THROUGH THE RMCM. STAFFED BY AN ADVOCATE CHILDREN'S TEAM, INCLUDING A NURSE PRACTITIONER, MEDICAL ASSISTANT, HEALTH EDUCATOR AND DRIVER, THE ADVOCATE CHILDREN'S RMCM TEAM PROVIDES IMMUNIZATIONS, ROUTINE CHECK-UPS, AND SCREENINGS TO THE MOST VULNERABLE STUDENTS IN THE ADVOCATE CHILDREN'S-OAK LAWN PSA. THE RMCM SAW LIMITED OPERATIONS DURING SPRING/SUMMER 2020 DUE TO SCHOOL CANCELLATIONS, AND HYBRID AND ONLINE LEARNING MODELS WHICH LIMITED STUDENT AND SCHOOL ACCESS NECESSITATED BY THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. HOWEVER, THE CARE MOBILE WAS ABLE TO SEE 689 PATIENTS AND PROVIDED 1,317 VACCINATIONS IN 2020. IN ADDITION, THE CARE MOBILE WAS REDEPLOYED FOR COMMUNITY-BASED COVID-19 TESTING AT EIGHT SITES IN 2020, COMPLETING A TOTAL OF 694 COVID-19 TESTS WITH A 7.7% POSITIVITY RATE. SCHOOL-BASED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ASSISTANCE. ADVOCATE CHILDREN'S WILL OFFER SCHOOL-BASED SOCIAL SERVICES AND RESOURCE ASSISTANCE TO IMPROVE SOCIAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL FUNCTIONING OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES TO MAXIMIZE FAMILY WELL-BEING AND THE ACADEMIC FUNCTIONING OF CHILDREN.

CLINICAL FUNCTIONS WILL INCLUDE SCREENING AND ASSESSMENTS FOR IDENTIFIED FAMILIES, BRIEF INTERVENTIONS AND REFERRAL TO TREATMENT, COORDINATION WITH PEDIATRICIANS, SCHOOL PERSONNEL, COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND ALLIED THERAPISTS, AND PARENT EDUCATION AND TRAINING. ADVOCATE CHILDREN'S PLANNED TO IMPLEMENT A PROGRAM TO EMBED A LICENSED CLINICAL PROFESSIONAL COUNSELOR (LCPC) IN PARTNERING CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN ORDER TO PROVIDE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES AND EDUCATION TO STUDENTS, FACULTY AND PARENTS. FOR THE 2020-2021 SCHOOL YEAR, THE PROGRAM WAS PUT ON PAUSE DUE TO COVID-19. THE LCPC WAS REDEPLOYED TO ASSIST IN THE PEDIATRIC OUTPATIENT CLINIC IN OAK LAWN AND THE ADOLESCENT MEDICINE CLINIC IN EVERGREEN PARK. DISCUSSIONS HAVE RESUMED WITH CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO PROVIDE SERVICES IN THE AUBURN-GRESHAM NEIGHBORHOOD OF CHICAGO BEGINNING IN THE 2021-22 SCHOOL YEAR. INFANT MORTALITY/PRE-TERM DELIVERIES/LOW BIRTH WEIGHT. ADVOCATE CHILDREN'S WILL PROVIDE THE CENTERING PREGNANCY PROGRAM, A GROUP PRENATAL CARE MODEL WHERE PREGNANT WOMEN RECEIVE MONTHLY EXAMS, SOCIAL SUPPORT AND EXTENSIVE EDUCATION IN A GROUP SETTING. THE PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO ENGAGE WOMEN IN THEIR PREGNANCY WITH THE GOAL TO REDUCE PREMATURE BIRTHS, INFANT MORTALITY AND LOW BIRTH WEIGHT BABIES WHILE DEVELOPING A MUCH-NEEDED SOCIAL SUPPORT SYSTEM. IN 2020, ADVOCATE CHILDREN'S IMPLEMENTED THE CENTERING PREGNANCY PROGRAM IN THE PRIMARY SERVICE AREA. THE CENTERING PREGNANCY PROGRAM BRINGS TOGETHER A SMALL GROUP OF POTENTIALLY AT-RISK WOMEN TO GAIN KNOWLEDGE AND SUPPORT TO ENSURE A SUCCESSFUL PREGNANCY AND BIRTH. EACH GROUP FOLLOWS THE RECOMMENDED SCHEDULE OF PRENATAL VISITS BUT EACH VISIT IS LONGER, GIVING WOMEN MORE TIME WITH THEIR PROVIDER AND SUPPORT TEAM. BESIDES ASSESSMENT, THE VISIT INCLUDES DISCUSSION AND INTERACTIVE ACTIVITIES DESIGNED TO ADDRESS HEALTH TOPICS SUCH AS NUTRITION, COMMON DISCOMFORTS, STRESS MANAGEMENT, LABOR AND DELIVERY, BREASTFEEDING, AND INFANT CARE. DUE TO COVID-19, IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN PLACED ON A BRIEF PAUSE AND WILL BE REACTIVATED ONCE IT IS SAFE FOR SMALL GROUP GATHERINGS. HEALTH NEEDS NOT SELECTED AND WHYWHILE CANCER, HEART DISEASE/STROKE AND ASTHMA ARE IMPORTANT HEALTH CONCERNS IN THE PSA, THE CHC FELT THAT THESE HEALTH CONCERNS WERE AMONG THE HIGHEST RESOURCED HEALTH NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY. ALSO, ADVOCATE CHRIST ALREADY HAS WELL ESTABLISHED CLINICAL INSTITUTES AND RESPIRATORY HEALTH RESOURCES THAT ARE FOCUSED ON CANCER, HEART DISEASE/STROKE AND ASTHMA.
GOOD SHEPHERD HOSPITALPART V, SECTION B, LINE 11: HEALTH NEEDS SELECTEDAS A RESULT OF THE 2017-2019 CHNA PROCESS, ADVOCATE GOOD SHEPHERD SELECTED TWO PRIORITIES FOR 2020-2022 IMPLEMENTATION PLANNING, INCLUDING: 1) OBESITY (DIABETES, HEART DISEASE, NUTRITION, AND EXERCISE) AND 2) SUBSTANCE ABUSE. FOR PRIORITY SELECTION PROCESS DETAILS, SEE PAGES 110-111 OF THE ADVOCATE GOOD SHEPHERD 2017-2019 CHNA REPORT AT ADVOCATE GOOD SHEPHERD HOSPITAL CHNA REPORT 2019 | ADVOCATE HEALTH CAREOBESITY. OBESITY WAS SELECTED AS A PRIORITY FOR THE 2014-2016 CHNA CYCLE. SINCE THIS TIME PERIOD, THE PREVALENCE OF OBESITY IN THE U.S. HAS CONTINUED TO STEADILY INCREASE. OBESITY IS A SERIOUS CONCERN BECAUSE IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH POORER MENTAL HEALTH OUTCOMES, REDUCED QUALITY OF LIFE, AND THE LEADING CAUSES OF DEATH IN THE U.S. AND WORLDWIDE, INCLUDING DIABETES, HEART DISEASE, STROKE, AND SOME TYPES OF CANCER (CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION, ADULT OVERWEIGHT AND OBESITY CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES, 2017). BECAUSE OF ITS STRONG CORRELATION TO CHRONIC DISEASES AND OTHER HEALTH CONDITIONS, THE CHC VOTED TO CONTINUE FOCUSING ON OBESITY AS A PRIORITY HEALTH ISSUE FOR THE 2020-2022 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN CYCLE. THE GOAL IS TO REDUCE THE PROPORTION OF ADULTS WHO ARE OBESE IN THE PSA. ADVOCATE GOOD SHEPHERD IS COLLABORATING WITH SENIOR SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS IN ITS SERVICE AREA TO SCREEN SENIORS FOR FOOD INSECURITY, USING THE HUNGER VITAL SIGN FOOD INSECURITY QUESTIONNAIRE. INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE IDENTIFIED AS FOOD INSECURE ARE REFERRED TO COMMUNITY RESOURCES (FOOD PANTRIES, SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (SNAP), MEALS ON WHEELS, CONGREGATE MEAL PROGRAMS, FARMERS MARKETS AND COMMUNITY GARDENS. IN 2021, ADVOCATE GOOD SHEPHERD STAFF CONTINUED TO DISTRIBUTE THE COVID-19 FOOD AND NUTRITION RESOURCE GUIDE, INCLUDING ALL AREA FOOD DISTRIBUTION SITES AND FOOD PANTRY'S NEW PROCEDURES AND POLICIES BASED ON THE PANDEMIC. DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC SEVERAL LOCAL FOOD PANTRIES AND FOOD ASSIST PROGRAMS EXPERIENCED CHANGES IN POLICIES AND PROCEDURES, SCHEDULING, STAFFING AND SUPPLIES, SO KEEPING INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES WHO IDENTIFY AS FOOD INSECURE INFORMED OF THESE CHANGES WAS IMPERATIVE. THIS GUIDE WAS SENT TO ALL SENIOR CENTERS AND NONPROFITS IN THE SERVICE AREA. IN 2021, THE HOSPITAL COLLABORATED WITH THE MCHENRY HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO JOURNEY TO A HEALTHIER YOU, A SUMMER CAMPAIGN SURROUNDED AROUND OBESITY, NUTRITION AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. A DIETITIAN FROM GOOD SHEPHERD WROTE A NEWSLETTER ON NUTRITION FOR THE PROGRAM THAT WAS SENT OUT TO ALL THE PARTICIPANTS.COMMUNITY RELATIONS AND THE COMMUNITY HEALTH STAFF ALSO ORGANIZED A FOOD AND GIFT CERTIFICATE FOR THE CRYSTAL LAKE FOOD PANTY. THE VALUE OF THE GIFT CARDS DONATED WAS $1,438 AND 1,177 FOOD AND PERSONAL HYGIENE ITEMS WERE COLLECTED AND DONATED TO THE PANTRY. SUBSTANCE ABUSE. SUBSTANCE ABUSE WAS THE SECOND HEALTH ISSUE IDENTIFIED AS A PRIORITY NEED WITHIN THE ADVOCATE GOOD SHEPHERD PSA. TWO SPECIFIC HEALTH BEHAVIORS WERE DISCUSSED AS CENTRAL TO THE ISSUE IN THE PSAEXCESSIVE ALCOHOL USE IN ADULTS AND THE HIGH PERCENTAGE OF TEENS VAPING. THE GOAL IS TO REDUCE THE PERCENT OF ADOLESCENTS AND ADULTS WHO ARE ABUSING SUBSTANCES. THE WARM HANDOFF PROGRAM WAS IMPLEMENTED IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT (ED) AND IS A PARTNERSHIP WITH GATEWAY FOUNDATION, A COMMUNITY-BASED ADDICTION MEDICINE PROVIDER. A GATEWAY FOUNDATION ENGAGEMENT SPECIALIST MEETS WITH A PATIENT IN THE ED WHO HAS COME IN FOR OPIOID-RELATED HEALTH ISSUES AND SCREENS AND REFERS HIM OR HER TO TREATMENT. A GATEWAY FOUNDATION RECOVERY COACH ON THE TEAM PROVIDES SUPPORT TO PATIENTS AS THEY TRANSITION INTO TREATMENT. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH STAFF HAS ALIGNED WITH KEY COMMUNITY-BASED COALITIONS TO IMPLEMENT SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION PROGRAMMING, SUCH AS THE MCHENRY SUBSTANCE ABUSE COALITION, HEALTHIER BARRINGTON COALITION, BE STRONG TOGETHER, LAKE COUNTY OPIOID TASK FORCE, LAKE COUNTY UNDERAGE DRINKING TASK FORCE AND THE WAUCONDA SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION COALITION. IN 2021, THE CHOOSE YOUR OWN PATH COALITION HOSTED TWO COMMUNITIES TALK EVENTS TO PREVENT UNDERAGE DRINKING TARGETED FOR THE UPCOMING HOMECOMING WEEK AT WAUCONDA HIGH SCHOOL. THE EVENTS TOOK PLACE AT THE WAUCONDA FARMER'S MARKET ON SEPTEMBER 16TH AND 23RD AND MEMBERS OF THE CHOOSE YOUR OWN PATH COALITION WERE PRESENT TO DISCUSS THE DANGERS OF UNDERAGE DRINKING AND SOCIAL HOSTING LAWS WITH INTERESTED COMMUNITY MEMBERS. THE COALITION HAS ALSO DEVELOPED A STRATEGIC AND ACTION PLANNING COMMITTEE TO REVIEW COMMUNITY DATA AND PLAN PROGRAMMING AROUND UNDERAGE DRINKING IN THE COMMUNITY. THE GOOD SHEPHERD COMMUNITY HEALTH TEAM IS PART OF THE COMMITTEE. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH TEAM PARTNERED WITH BARRINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT 220 AND THE NONPROFIT GROUP BSTRONG TOGETHER TO HOST A VIRTUAL EVENT FOR PARENTS, EDUCATORS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS ABOUT THE DANGERS OF FENTANYL HELD ON OCTOBER 28TH. THE EVENT WAS RECORDED AND SENT OUT THROUGH MULTIPLE ORGANIZATIONS. GOOD SHEPHERD'S DIRECTOR OF ROBERT ROMOLO DO, CHAIRMAN AND MEDICAL DIRECTOR OF THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT SPOKE ON THE PANEL, ALONG WITH LAURIE CRAIN FROM THE MCHENRY COUNTY SUBSTANCE ABUSE COALITION AND A POLICE OFFICER FROM THE BARRINGTON POLICE DEPARTMENT. TOPICS COVERED WERE INFORMATION ABOUT FENTANYL, HOW ARE KIDS ACCESSING IT AND THE ONE PILL CAN KILL CAMPAIGN.

ADVOCATE GOOD SAMARITAN RECOGNIZES THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE NEED FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN DUPAGE COUNTY AND WILL, THEREFORE, CONTINUE TO PARTNER WITH THE DUPAGE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND DUPAGE PADS TO ADVANCE AFFORDABLE HOUSING STRATEGIES IN THE COUNTY.CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE. FOLLOWING CAREFUL REVIEW OF THE DATA, THE HOSPITAL'S CHC DID NOT SELECT CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE AS THE PRIORITY TO ADDRESS AS THE COUNCIL ALTERNATIVELY RECOMMENDED THE HOSPITAL ADDRESS CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE THROUGH THE HEALTH STATUS IMPROVEMENT PRIORITY, WHICH INCLUDES NUTRITION, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND OBESITY PREVENTION. THE IMPACT DUPAGE STEERING COMMITTEE ALSO DID NOT SELECT CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE AS A PRIORITY HEALTH NEED DUE TO THE IMPACT HEALTH STATUS IMPROVEMENT HAS ON DECREASING THE RATE OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE. ASTHMA. WHILE IDENTIFIED AS A HEALTH NEED, ASTHMA WAS NOT SELECTED AS THE RECOMMENDED HEALTH PRIORITY DUE TO THE LACK OF COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND THE INEFFECTIVENESS/AVAILABILITY OF ASTHMA PREVENTION PROGRAMS. THE CHC ALSO IDENTIFIED THE HIGH RATES OF HOSPITALIZATION AND EMERGENCY ROOM (ER) VISITS DUE TO ASTHMA AS A POTENTIAL ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE ISSUE. TAKING THIS INTO CONSIDERATION, CHC MEMBERS SUGGESTED ADDRESSING ACCESS TO CARE THROUGH THE HEALTH STATUS IMPROVEMENT PRIORITY AS A WAY TO ADDRESS THE ER AND HOSPITALIZATION RATES DUE TO ASTHMA.SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS (STIS). WHILE THE CHC RECOGNIZED THAT STIS ARE AN INCREASING NEED PARTICULARLY IN THE ADOLESCENT POPULATION, THE CHC DID NOT RECOMMEND PRIORITIZING THIS HEALTH ISSUE DUE TO THE MULTIPLE ORGANIZATIONS, INCLUDING DUPAGE COUNTY SCHOOLS, ADDRESSING THE ISSUE. THE HOSPITAL ALSO HAS LIMITED EXPERTISE TO ADDRESS THIS HEALTH NEED IN THE ADOLESCENT POPULATION. THE HOSPITAL, HOWEVER, WILL BE ABLE TO ADDRESS SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES THROUGH THE HEALTH STATUS IMPROVEMENT PRIORITY BY IMPROVING ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE FOR DETECTION AND TREATMENT OF STIS. SENIOR HEALTH. ADVOCATE GOOD SAMARITAN RECOGNIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF SENIOR HEALTH AND ENGAGES IN MULTIPLE COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMS THAT ADDRESS THE HEALTH NEEDS OF SENIORS, THEREFORE THE CHC DID NOT SELECT SENIOR HEALTH AS A HEALTH PRIORITY. THE HOSPITAL IMPLEMENTS THE MATTER OF BALANCE PROGRAM, WHICH AIMS TO DECREASE FALLS AMONG SENIORS THROUGH INCREASING EDUCATION AROUND PREVENTING FALLS AND CREATING FALL-FREE ENVIRONMENTS. IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL IMPLEMENTS SENIOR HEALTH FAIRS AND HEALTH EDUCATION WORKSHOPS ACROSS DUPAGE COUNTY IN PARTNERSHIP WITH VARIOUS SENIOR CENTERS AND RESIDENCES.IMMUNIZATION FOR PREVENTABLE DISEASES. THE CHC ACKNOWLEDGED THE CURRENT EFFORTS UNDERWAY BY THE RETAIL AND NON-PROFIT SECTORS TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO VACCINATIONS/ IMMUNIZATIONS THROUGHOUT DUPAGE COUNTY AND THEREFORE DID NOT SELECT IT AS THE HEALTH PRIORITY TO FOCUS ON FOR IMPLEMENTATION PLANNING. ADVOCATE AURORA HEALTH HAS SEVERAL WALGREENS CLINICS IN WHICH VACCINATIONS ARE OFFERED AT LOW-COST TO THE COMMUNITY. IN ADDITION, THE DUPAGE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT OFFERS VACCINATIONS AT LOW OR NO COST TO DUPAGE COUNTY RESIDENTS, INCLUDING THOSE WITH NO INSURANCE.BOLINGBROOK-ROMEOVILLE HEALTH NEEDS NOT SELECTED HEART DISEASE. WHILE HEART DISEASE WAS NOT SPECIFICALLY SELECTED AS THE HEALTH NEED PRIORITY FOR BOLINGBROOK-ROMEOVILLE, THE ADVOCATE GOOD SAMARITAN CHC DID SELECT CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT, WHICH INCLUDES MANAGEMENT OF VARIOUS CHRONIC HEART CONDITIONS. THIS HEALTH ISSUE WILL ALSO BE ADDRESSED THROUGH CHRONIC DISEASE PREVENTION FOCUSING ON PROPER NUTRITION AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY (HEALTHY LIFESTYLES). DIABETES. THE CHC ALSO DID NOT SELECT DIABETES AS THE HEALTH NEED PRIORITY FOR BOLINGBROOK-ROMEOVILLE GIVEN CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT WAS SELECTED, WHICH INCLUDES DIABETES MANAGEMENT EDUCATION AND PROGRAMS. THIS HEALTH ISSUE WILL ALSO BE ADDRESSED THROUGH CHRONIC DISEASE PREVENTION FOCUSING ON PROPER NUTRITION AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF DIABETES AND DIGESTIVE AND KIDNEY DISEASES, NUTRITION AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY ARE IMPORTANT PARTS OF A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE WHEN DIAGNOSED WITH DIABETES. PROGRAMMING AND SUPPORT FOR HEALTHY LIFESTYLES IS ESSENTIAL IN ADDRESSING CHRONIC DISEASE PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT. ASTHMA. WHILE ASTHMA WAS NOT SELECTED AS THE HEALTH NEED PRIORITY FOR BOLINGBROOK-ROMEOVILLE, THE CHC DID SELECT CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT, WHICH INCLUDES ASTHMA MANAGEMENT. THIS HEALTH ISSUE WILL ALSO BE ADDRESSED THROUGH CHRONIC DISEASE PREVENTION FOCUSING ON PROPER NUTRITION AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY (HEALTHY LIFESTYLES), BOTH OF WHICH ARE CRUCIAL COMPONENTS IN MANAGING ASTHMA. BEHAVIORAL HEALTH. BEHAVIORAL HEALTH WAS NOT SELECTED AS A PRIORITY DUE TO OTHER COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND HOSPITALS ALREADY ADDRESSING THE HEALTH ISSUE. AFTER THE BOLINGBROOK-ROMEOVILLE VNA PRESENTATION AND FEEDBACK FROM AMITA, ANOTHER HOSPITAL SYSTEM, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE HEALTH NEED WAS SUFFICIENTLY BEING ADDRESSED WHILE THE ISSUE OF CHRONIC DISEASE WAS NOT. ALTHOUGH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH WAS NOT SELECTED AS A PRIORITY, THE HOSPITAL WILL PROVIDE SUPPORT TO PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS AND HOSPITALS WHERE RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE. FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS ON THE HEALTH PRIORITIES SELECTED TO ADDRESS, AS WELL AS THOSE NOT SELECTED AND WHY, PLEASE SEE PAGES 43-45 OF THE ADVOCATE GOOD SAMARITAN 2017-2019 CHNA REPORT AT MICROSOFT WORD - 0715_GSAM_CHNA.DOCX (ADVOCATEHEALTH.COM)
SCHEDULE H, PART V, SEC B, LINE 11 - ADVOCATE TRINITY HOSPITAL CONT.HEALTH NEEDS NOT SELECTED AND WHYCANCER. ADVOCATE TRINITY DID NOT SELECT CANCER AS A HEALTH PRIORITY BECAUSE THE HOSPITAL HAS MULTIPLE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES IN PLACE TO ADDRESS THIS HEALTH ISSUE. ADVOCATE TRINITY'S ONCOLOGY CENTER PROGRAMS ARE STRUCTURED TO FACILITATE A MULTIDISCIPLINARY ENVIRONMENT THAT PROVIDES MINIMALLY INVASIVE PROCEDURES AND ADVANCED SURGICAL INTERVENTION TO TREAT CANCER. THE ONCOLOGY CENTER INCLUDES ADVANCED DIAGNOSTICS, IMAGING SERVICES, INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY, AND AN INFUSION CENTER. THE HOSPITAL HAS A CANCER COMMITTEE TO DEVELOP, APPROVE AND IMPLEMENT THE STRATEGIC PLANS, GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF ADVOCATE TRINITY'S CANCER PROGRAMS AND TO PROVIDE OVERSIGHT FOR ONGOING PROGRAMS AND OUTREACH SERVICES. THE CANCER COMMITTEE ENSURES THAT COMMUNITY OUTREACH PLANS REFLECT THE CANCER EXPERIENCE AT ADVOCATE TRINITY AND THAT THE DEFINED COMMUNITY NEEDS ARE ADDRESSED. ADVOCATE TRINITY'S ONCOLOGY NURSE NAVIGATOR, IN COLLABORATION WITH THE COMMUNITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT, WORKS TO IMPLEMENT OUTREACH SERVICES IN THE COMMUNITY. OUTREACH ACTIVITIES INCLUDE COMMUNITY EDUCATION FOR BREAST CANCER PREVENTION, PROSTATE CANCER PREVENTION AND ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY HEALTH EDUCATION, INCLUDING HEALTHY LIFESTYLE EDUCATION FOR CANCER PREVENTION. SUBSTANCE ABUSE. A SECOND HEALTH NEED IDENTIFIED BUT NOT SELECTED IS SUBSTANCE ABUSE. ADVOCATE TRINITY IS A COMMUNITY HOSPITAL THAT DOES NOT HAVE A PSYCHIATRIC UNIT AND DOES NOT PROVIDE ONGOING TREATMENT FOR SUBSTANCE ABUSE. HOWEVER, TO MEET THE IMMEDIATE NEEDS OF ITS ED PATIENTS AND INPATIENTS AND FOR CONTINUITY OF CARE, THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES TREATMENT OPTIONS THROUGH ADVOCATE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES AND THE FAMILY CARE NETWORK LOCATED AT ADVOCATE CHRIST. ADVOCATE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES AND FAMILY CARE NETWORK PROVIDE AN ADULT INPATIENT PSYCHIATRIC PROGRAM, OLDER ADULT INPATIENT PROGRAM TO HELP OLDER ADULTS REGAIN PSYCHOLOGICAL STABILITY, ADOLESCENT PARTIAL HOSPITALIZATIONS, AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE-PARTIAL HOSPITALIZATION FOR SHORT-TERM INTENSIVE TREATMENT OF CHEMICAL DEPENDENCE. UPON TREATMENT AND PRIOR TO DISCHARGE, PATIENTS ARE CONNECTED TO THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROGRAMS AND PROVIDED RESOURCES TO ORGANIZATIONS THAT ASSIST THE PATIENT BASED ON THE PATIENT'S UNIQUE NEEDS (I.E., SUBSTANCE ABUSE FACILITY OR DETOX CENTER).HEART DISEASE. ONE OF THE HEALTH ISSUES IDENTIFIED BUT NOT SELECTED AS A PRIORITIZED HEALTH NEED WAS HEART DISEASE. ADVOCATE TRINITY IS ADDRESSING THE COMMUNITY'S HEART DISEASE NEEDS THROUGH THE ADVOCATE HEART INSTITUTE. THE ADVOCATE HEART INSTITUTE'S SERVICES ARE COMPREHENSIVE AND RANGE FROM CARDIOVASCULAR DIAGNOSTICS AND DETECTION, TO TREATMENT AND SURGERY USING THE MOST ADVANCED DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC TOOLS AVAILABLE. THE INSTITUTE ALSO OFFERS CPR TRAINING, A FREE HEART RISK ASSESSMENT AND AN AFFORDABLE HEART CT SCAN.ASTHMA. ASTHMA WAS ANOTHER HEALTH ISSUE IDENTIFIED BUT NOT SELECTED AS A PRIORITIZED HEALTH NEED DURING THIS CHNA CYCLE. ADVOCATE TRINITY'S ASTHMA PROGRAM USES A UNIQUE, MULTI-DISCIPLINARY TEAM APPROACH TO ASTHMA CARE. THE PROGRAM OFFERS BOARD CERTIFIED PULMONOLOGISTS TO DEVELOP AND MONITOR TREATMENT PROTOCOLS AND STANDING ORDERS FOR CARE, AND AN ASTHMA NURSE EDUCATOR WHO OVERSEES THE PROGRAM, PROVIDES PATIENT EDUCATION AND SERVES AS A LINK TO THE COMMUNITY TO ENSURE THE PATIENT'S ASTHMA IS MANAGED. OTHER TEAM MEMBERS INCLUDE RESPIRATORY CARE PRACTITIONERS WHO PROVIDE BREATHING TREATMENTS AND TEACH PATIENT EDUCATION IN THE HOSPITAL AND COMMUNITY. IN ADDITION, THE ASTHMA PROGRAM OFFERS MANY EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS TO HELP PEOPLE BETTER UNDERSTAND THEIR CONDITION AND MANAGE THEIR ASTHMA. THESE PROGRAMS INCLUDE ONE-ON-ONE INDIVIDUALIZED EDUCATION SESSIONS FOR PEOPLE ENCOUNTERING DIFFICULTIES MANAGING THEIR ASTHMA, AND MONTHLY ASTHMA EDUCATION CLASSES COVERING SELF-MANAGEMENT, PEAK FLOW MONITORING AND ADDRESSING ENVIRONMENTAL TRIGGERS.FOR MORE DETAIL ON WHAT ADVOCATE TRINITY DID SELECT TO ADDRESS, AND DID NOT SELECT TO ADDRESS AND WHY, SEE PAGES 68-71 OF THE ADVOCATE TRINITY 2017-2019 CHNA REPORT AT ADVOCATE TRINITY HOSPITAL CHNA REPORT 2019 | ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE

PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES:ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE IS COMMITTED TO GREENING HEALTH CARE BECAUSE IT IS DEEPLY CONNECTED TO THE PURPOSE OF OUR ORGANIZATION HEALTH AND HEALING. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE HEALTH OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE HEALTH OF THE PATIENTS AND COMMUNITIES WE SERVE IS INEXTRICABLY LINKED AND THAT A HEALTHY PLANET SUPPORTS HEALTHY PEOPLE. REDUCING WASTE, CONSERVING ENERGY AND WATER, MINIMIZING USE OF TOXIC CHEMICALS, AND CONSTRUCTING ECO-FRIENDLY BUILDINGS FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW ALL OF THESE EFFORTS HAVE A DIRECT BENEFIT ON THE HEALTH OF LOCAL COMMUNITIES VIA CLEANER COMMUNITIES, HEALTHIER AIR QUALITY, REDUCED GREENHOUSE GASES, AND PRESERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES. AS WE WORK TO REDUCE THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND HEALTH IMPACT OF HEALTH CARE, OUR ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP PRACTICES HELP EASE THE BURDEN OF HEALTH CARE COSTS BOTH DIRECTLY (LOWER ENERGY COSTS) AND INDIRECTLY (LOWER ENVIRONMENTALLY-RELATED DISEASE BURDEN). 1. MENTORING AND EDUCATIONAS WE WORK TO SERVE THE HEALTH NEEDS OF TODAY'S PATIENTS AND FAMILIES WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE NEEDS OF FUTURE GENERATIONS, ADVOCATE HAS COMMITTED RESOURCES TO SHARING LESSONS LEARNED AND BEST PRACTICES WITH OTHER HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS, BOTH LOCALLY AND NATIONALLY. ADVOCATE SERVES IN A LEADERSHIP, ADVOCACY AND MENTORING ROLE NATIONALLY THROUGH PARTICIPATION IN SEVERAL HEALTHCARE SUSTAINABILITY LEADERSHIP GROUPS AND ADVISORY BOARDS, ADDRESSING SAFER CHEMICALS IN FURNISHING AND MEDICAL PRODUCTS, CLIMATE CHANGE, PLASTICS RECYCLING, AND ENVIRONMENTALLY-PREFERABLE PURCHASING:- HEALTH CARE CLIMATE COUNCIL - HEALTHCARE ANCHOR NETWORK- HEALTHCARE PLASTICS RECYCLING COALITION HEALTHCARE FACILITY ADVISORY BOARD- PRACTICE GREENHEALTH MARKET TRANSFORMATION GROUP SAFER CHEMICALS- PREMIER ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL - SIGNATORY OF THE CHEMICAL FOOTPRINT PROJECTADVOCATE ALSO COMMONLY PROVIDES MENTORING TO HEALTH CARE COMMUNITY ON SUSTAINABILITY BEST PRACTICES THROUGH PRESENTATIONS AND WEBINARS, AS WELL AS TO INDIVIDUAL HEALTH CARE INSTITUTIONS ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS.2. ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM 2021 ENVIRONMENTAL INITIATIVES: PLEDGED TO POWER ITS FACILITIES WITH 100% RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY BY 2030. REDUCED ENERGY INTENSITY UTILIZATION BY 1.3% FROM 2020. AVOIDED 31 MTCO2E OF GREENHOUSE GASES (EQUIVALENT TO OVER 75,000 MILLION MILES OF DRIVING) THROUGH ECO-FRIENDLY MANAGEMENT OF ANESTHETIC GASES. RECYCLED 2,983 TONS OF WASTE FROM HOSPITAL OPERATIONS. RECYCLED 84 PERCENT, OR 1,090 TONS, OF CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION DEBRIS. SAVED 26 TONS OF WASTE FROM LANDFILL VIA OUR SURGICAL AND MEDICAL DEVICE REPROCESSING PROGRAMS. REDUCED PAPER UTILIZATION BY 1.6% FROM 2020. CONTINUED OUR DONATION PROGRAM WITH PROJECT C.U.R.E., A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT WILL RESPONSIBLY REDISTRIBUTE DONATED MEDICAL SUPPLIES AND EQUIPMENT TO UNDER-RESOURCED AREAS AROUND THE GLOBE, FOR ALL ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE FACILITIES. IN 2021, ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE DONATED 128 PALLETS OF MEDICAL SUPPLIES TO PROJECT CURE. SPENT OVER $68,000, OR 84% OF ADVOCATE'S EXPENSES IN SELECT CLEANING PRODUCT CATEGORIES (WINDOW, FLOOR, CARPET, BATHROOM, AND GENERAL-PURPOSE CLEANERS) ON THIRD-PARTY CERTIFIED "GREEN" CLEANERS. INCREASED THE PURCHASE OF HEALTHIER HOSPITALS-APPROVED FURNITURE, MADE WITHOUT SELECT CHEMICALS OF CONCERN, INCLUDING PERFLUORINATED COMPOUNDS, PVC (VINYL), FORMALDEHYDE, FLAME RETARDANTS (WHERE CODE PERMISSIBLE) AND ANTIMICROBIALS, TO 99% OF TOTAL PURCHASES. PURCHASED OVER $1,000,000 OF MEAT PRODUCTS FROM LIVESTOCK AND POULTRY RAISED WITHOUT THE ROUTINE USE OF ANTIBIOTICS (32% OF TOTAL), SUPPORTING THE JUDICIOUS AND RESPONSIBLE USE OF ANTIBIOTICS IN AGRICULTURE WHICH CAN HELP SLOW THE EMERGENCE OF ANTIBIOTIC-RESISTANT BACTERIA. PLEASE SEE ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE'S PUBLICLY-FACING SUSTAINABILITY & WELLNESS WEBSITE FOR MORE INFORMATION.
PART III, LINE 4:FOR AHHC, IN 2021 THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS COVERED 24.29% OF NET PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE STATED AT NET REALIZABLE VALUBE. AHHC EVALUATES THE COLLECTABILITY OF ITS ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE BASED ON THE LENGTH OF TIME THE RECEIVABLE IS OUTSTANDING, PAYER CLASS, HISTORICAL COLLECTION EXPERIENCE, AND TRENDS IN HEALTH CARE INSURANCE PROGRAMS. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE CHARGED TO THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS WHEN THEY ARE DEEMED UNCOLLECTIBLE.THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED IN DETERMINING THE AMOUNTS REPORTED ON LINES 2 AND 3 IS BASED ON THE RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES. THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF BAD DEBT WAS CALCULATED BY APPLYING THE ORGANIZATION'S COST TO CHARGE RATIO FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORTS (CMS 2252-96 WORKSHEET C, PART 1, PPS INPATIENT RATIOS) TO THE ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT PROVISION PER GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES, LESS ANY PATIENT OR THIRD PARTY PAYOR PAYMENTS RECEIVED.ADVOCATE MAKES EVERY EFFORT TO IDENTIFY THOSE PATIENTS WHO ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BY STRICTLY ADHERING TO ITS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. WE BELIEVE THAT ADVOCATE HAS A POPULATION OF PATIENTS WHO ARE UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED BUT WHO DO NOT COMPLETE THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION. THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE (AT COST) WHICH COULD BE REASONABLY ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WHO WOULD LIKELY QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, IF SUFFICIENT INFORMATION HAD BEEN AVAILABLE TO MAKE A DETERMINATION OF THEIR ELIGIBILITY, WAS BASED UPON SELF PAY PATIENT ACCOUNTS WHICH HAD AMOUNTS WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBTS. OUR METHOD WAS TO BEGIN WITH THE SELF-PAY PORTION OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE PROVISION. THE SELF-PAY PORTION EXCLUDES THOSE PATIENTS WHO HAD FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATIONS PENDING AT THE TIME OF SERVICE. THIS COST WAS THEN REDUCED BY CHARGES IDENTIFIED AS TRUE BAD DEBT EXPENSE, INCLUDING COPAYS FOR PATIENTS WHO QUALIFIED FOR LESS THAN 100% FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO WAS THEN APPLIED TO THE REMAINING CHARGES, TO DETERMINE THE VALUE (AT COST) OF PATIENT ACCOUNTS THAT DID NOT COMPLETE FINANCIAL COUNSELING AND WERE ASSIGNED TO BAD DEBT. WE BELIEVE THIS PROCESS IS A REASONABLE BASIS FOR OUR ESTIMATE. AS WE ARE ONLY CONSIDERING SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT FOR THIS ESTIMATE, THIS ESTIMATE DOES NOT INCLUDE THE IMMEDIATE 20% DISCOUNT TO CHARGES WHICH IS APPLIED TO ALL SELF-PAY PATIENTS. IT ALSO DOES NOT INCLUDE ACCOUNT BALANCES OR CO-PAYS OF NON-SELF PAY ACCOUNTS WHICH ARE WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT WHEN THE PATIENT HAS NO OTHER FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO PAY THESE AMOUNTS AND THE PATIENT DOES NOT APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.BAD DEBT AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN EXCLUDED FROM OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFIT AMOUNTS REPORTED THROUGHOUT SCHEDULE H.
PART III, LINE 8:THE SHORTFALL OF $249,434,115 ON PART III, LINE 7 IS THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF PROVIDING SERVICES FOR MEDICARE PATIENTS AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT BECAUSE PROVIDING THESE SERVICES WITHOUT REIMBURSEMENT LESSENS THE BURDENS OF GOVERNMENT OR OTHER CHARITIES THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE NEEDED TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY.FOR ADVOCATE HEALTH AND HOSPITALS CORPORATION'S OPERATIONS, THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF MEDICARE WAS CALCULATED BY APPLYING THE ORGANIZATION'S COST TO CHARGE RATIO FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORTS (CMS 2252-96 WORKSHEET C, PART 1, PPS INPATIENT RATIOS) AND FOR NON-HOSPITAL OPERATIONS THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO CALCULATED ON WORKSHEET 2 RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES TO THE ORGANIZATION'S MEDICARE, LESS ANY PATIENT OR THIRD PARTY PAYOR PAYMENTS AND/OR CONTRIBUTIONS RECEIVED THAT WERE DESIGNATED FOR THE PAYMENT OF MEDICARE PATIENT BILLS.
PART III, LINE 9B:ADVOCATE HEALTH AND HOSPITALS CORPORATION MAINTAINS BOTH WRITTEN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND BAD DEBT/COLLECTION POLICIES. THE BAD DEBT/COLLECTION POLICY DOES NOT APPLY TO THOSE PATIENTS KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE; THEREFORE, SUCH PATIENTS ARE NOT SUBJECT TO COLLECTION PRACTICES.
PART VI, LINE 3:PART VI, 3. PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE (APPLIES TO ALL HOSPITALS).ADVOCATE ASSISTS PATIENTS WITH ENROLLMENT IN GOVERNMENT-SUPPORTED PROGRAMS FOR WHICH THEY ARE ELIGIBLE AND IN SECURING REIMBURSEMENT FROM AVAILABLE THIRD PARTY RESOURCES. FINANCIAL COUNSELING IS PROVIDED TO HELP PATIENTS IDENTIFY AND OBTAIN PAYMENT FROM THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING ILLINOIS MEDICAID, ILLINOIS CRIME VICTIMS FUND, ETC., AS WELL AS TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY UNDER ADVOCATE'S HOSPITAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. ADVOCATE UTILIZES A FINANCIAL SCREENING SOFTWARE PROGRAM TO HELP IDENTIFY PUBLIC ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS FOR WHICH THE PATIENT MAY BE ELIGIBLE OR ADVOCATE'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AT THE TIME OF REGISTRATION OR AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE THEREAFTER. IN ADDITION, HEALTHADVISOR, ADVOCATE'S EDUCATION REGISTRATION AND PHYSICIAN REFERRAL TELEPHONE CENTER, SERVES AS A COMMUNITY RESOURCE PROVIDING REFERRALS TO GOVERNMENT-FUNDED AND OTHER PROGRAMS VIA TELEPHONE FROM 7 A.M. TO 7 P.M., MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AND SATURDAYS 9 A.M. TO 2 P.M. ADVOCATE ASSISTS PATIENTS WITH APPLYING FOR ADVOCATE'S OWN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE SERVICES, IF PATIENTS ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR GOVERNMENT-SUPPORTED PROGRAMS.

PRIOR TO 2016, THE COMMUNITY FACING FUNCTION WAS LED BY A TEAM OF ADVOCATE SYSTEM-LEVEL INDIVIDUALS WHOSE JOB RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDED VARIOUS COMMUNITY ROLES MORE CLOSELY ALIGNED WITH COMMUNITY RELATIONS. IN AN ONGOING EFFORT TO SUPPORT ITS HOSPITALS IN ADDRESSING COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES, ADVOCATE AURORA'S SYSTEM LEADERSHIP DIRECTED THE FORMATION OF A COMMUNITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT IN 2016. THE DEPARTMENT IS LED BY A SYSTEM EXECUTIVE AND STAFFED WITH PUBLIC/COMMUNITY HEALTH SPECIALISTS WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR COMMUNITY BENEFITS REPORTING, EXECUTING COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENTS, EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION, AND COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS WITHIN THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY ADVOCATE.

IN OCTOBER 2019, THE ADVOCATE AURORA BOARD APPROVED A COMMUNITY STRATEGY THAT WOULD SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONAL VALUES AND CONTINUE TO SUPPORT SYSTEM-WIDE PROGRAMS THAT ADDRESS THE HEALTH NEEDS OF PATIENTS, FAMILIES AND THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY ADVOCATE AURORA. THROUGH THIS STRATEGY, WE WILL BUILD HEALTH EQUITY, ENSURE ACCESS AND IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES IN OUR COMMUNITIES THROUGH EVIDENCE-INFORMED SERVICES AND INNOVATIVE PARTNERSHIPS BY ADDRESSING MEDICAL NEEDS AND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS.

GIVEN THAT ADVOCATE AND AURORA HAVE SEPARATE FEIN'S, THE NARRATIVE WITHIN THIS DOCUMENT PRIMARILY DESCRIBES PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES PERTAINING TO ADVOCATE (AAH ILLINOIS). ADVOCATE'S BOARD, SYSTEM LEADERSHIP AND TEAM MEMBERS ARE FULLY ENGAGED IN PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES THAT SUPPORT SYSTEM AND SITE EFFORTS IN ACHIEVING MILESTONES IN EACH OF THESE COMMUNITY STRATEGY FOCUS AREAS. EXAMPLES OF AFFILIATED SYSTEM PROGRAMS/SERVICES THAT ALIGN WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S COMMUNITY STRATEGY AND SUPPORT EFFORTS TO ADDRESS THESE KEY FOCUS AREAS ARE PROVIDED IN THE FOLLOWING NARRATIVE. 1. ACCESS/PRIMARY MEDICAL HOMES. THE FIRST OF SIX KEY AREAS TARGETED BY ADVOCATE'S COMMUNITY STRATEGY IS IMPROVING ACCESS/CONNECTING PATIENTS TO PRIMARY MEDICAL HOMES.

FOR UNINSURED PATIENTS, ADVOCATE WILL PRESUMPTIVELY PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IF THE FINANCIAL STATUS HAS BEEN VERIFIED BY A THIRD PARTY. IN THESE CASES, THE PATIENT IS NOT REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A SEPARATE CHARITY APPLICATION. IF PRESUMPTIVE CRITERIA ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR UNINSURED PATIENTS, FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY IS AVAILABLE USING AN INCOME-BASED SCREENING. ADVOCATE EXTENDS ITS INCOME-BASED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY TO ITS INSURED PATIENTS AS WELL. ADVOCATE CONTINUES TO REVIEW AND REFINE ITS POLICY IN AN ONGOING EFFORT TO ENSURE THAT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE TO THOSE WHO NEED HELP.FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTERS (FQHCS). ALL ADVOCATE'S HOSPITALS HAVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH FQHC'S OR OTHER COMMUNITY CLINICS WITHIN THEIR SERVICE AREAS FOR PROVIDING CARE FOR MEDICAID AND UNINSURED PATIENTS.

ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC WAS THE FIRST ADVOCATE AURORA HOSPITAL TO ACHIEVE, SINCE ITS INCEPTION, "LEADER" STATUS DENOMINATION WITH THE HUMAN RIGHTS CAMPAIGN FOUNDATION'S HEALTH EQUALITY INDEX. THE HOSPITAL IS ONE OF 496 LEADERS OUT OF 906 PARTICIPANTS. AS THE LEADING LGBTQ SITE, IT HAS BEEN THE FOUNDATION FOR ADVOCATE AURORA HEALTH TO BE THE 4TH LARGEST HEALTH SYSTEM WITH ALL ITS SITES ACCREDITED IN 2022.

IN MARCH 2021, ADVOCATE LUTHERAN GENERAL HOSPITAL RESHAPED TWO PREVIOUS PATIENT NAVIGATOR POSITIONS PREVIOUSLY SERVING THE POLISH AND KOREAN POPULATIONS AND CREATED A MORE ROBUST CULTURAL AND COMMUNITY LIAISON ROLE. THIS POSITION CONTINUES THE MORE THAN DECADE LONG ADVOCATE LUTHERAN COMMITMENT AND DEDICATED RESPONSE TO THE MULTITUDE AND CONTINUALLY CHANGING DIVERSE CULTURES, LANGUAGES, HEALTH LITERACY AND DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE COMMUNITIES THAT WE SERVE. THIS POSITION'S PRIORITY IS TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT THAT IS CONDUCIVE TO DEVELOPING LIFELONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, TO INCREASE ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE SERVICES FOR MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY AND TO HELP OUR CURRENT PATIENTS ACHIEVE BEST HEALTH OUTCOMES.

PART VI, 6. AFFILIATED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM CONT.2. ACCESS/BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICESA SECOND ADVOCATE COMMUNITY STRATEGY FOCUS AREA IS ACCESS TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES. ADVOCATE HAS IMPLEMENTED MANY PROGRAMS/SERVICES FOCUSED ON IMPROVING THE CONTINUUM OF CARE FOR THE BENEFIT OF MENTAL HEALTH AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PATIENTS. SEVERAL EXAMPLES OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROGRAMS THAT ADVOCATE HOSPITALS HAVE IMPLEMENTED AND IMPROVE ACCESS ARE PROVIDED BELOW. MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID (MHFA). WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY, MENTAL HEALTH IS SELECTED AS A KEY COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITY. MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID TRAINING FOR COMMUNITY LEADERS, HOSPITAL STAFF, FIRST RESPONDERS AND THE BROADER COMMUNITY CONTINUED IN 2020 AS ONE EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAM DESIGNED TO IMPACT THIS ISSUE. THE EIGHT-HOUR PROGRAM INCREASES PARTICIPANTS' KNOWLEDGE OF SIGNS, SYMPTOMS AND RISK FACTORS OF MENTAL ILLNESSES AND ADDICTIONS, AND INCREASES THEIR CONFIDENCE IN AND LIKELIHOOD TO HELP AN INDIVIDUAL IN DISTRESS. AS A RESULT OF THE PANDEMIC, THE STRUCTURE OF THE MHFA TRAINING WAS MODIFIED SO IT COULD BE HELD VIRTUALLY TO MEET THE COVID-19 IN-PERSON AND SOCIAL DISTANCING RESTRICTIONS AND GUIDELINES. HOWEVER, CERTAIN GUIDELINES WERE UPHELD AND FOR CERTAIN AREAS, IN-PERSON TRAINING WAS PROVIDED. IN THE CENTRAL REGION, ADVOCATE LUTHERAN GENERAL HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY HEALTH TEAM PARTNERS WITH THE SERTOMA CENTER TO IMPLEMENT TWO, MHFA TRAININGS FOR EMERGENCY MEDICAL STAFF (EMS) STAFF AND LOCAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS. A TOTAL OF 40, HOSPITAL AND COMMUNITY, HEALTH PROFESSIONALS WERE TRAINED IN PERSON BY TWO MHFA INSTRUCTORS FROM THE SERTOMA CENTER.

THE PROGRAM SUPPORTS A NEIGHBORHOOD MODEL THAT EMBEDS AAH TEAM MEMBERS IN SPECIFIC NEIGHBORHOODS IDENTIFIED AS PRIORITIES THROUGH THE AAH COMMUNITY STRATEGY. TEAM MEMBERS WORK WITH A COLLABORATIVE NETWORK OF FAITH COMMUNITIES AND COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS TO ADDRESS HEALTH ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED BY COMMUNITY MEMBERS AS ISSUES THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO THEM. IN ILLINOIS WE HAVE NEIGHBORHOOD NETWORK PROGRAMS IN SOUTH CHICAGO AND AVONDALE AND ARE FOCUSED EFFORTS ON REDUCING STRESS AND INCREASING SOCIAL CONNECTEDNESS, MANAGING CHRONIC DISEASE, AND SUPPORTING FOOD ACCESS. FAITH AND HEALTH PARTNERSHIPS ALSO WORKS ACROSS OUR FOOTPRINT ON BUILDING CAPACITY OF FAITH LEADERS AND CONGREGATIONS TO PROMOTE THE WHOLISTIC HEALTH OF THEIR MEMBERS AND THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE, PARTICULARLY AROUND MENTAL HEALTH. AAH ALSO SUPPORTS A FAITH COMMUNITY NURSE NETWORK OF 27 NURSES THAT SERVE CONGREGATIONS ACROSS THE CHICAGOLAND REGION.
PART VI, 6. AFFILIATED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM CONT.AT BOTH THE SYSTEM AND SITE LEVELS, ADVOCATE IS WORKING TO EXAMINE AND ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSES OF HEALTH INEQUITIES IN OUR COMMUNITIES. TO SUPPORT THE ADVOCATE HOSPITALS IN CONDUCTING CHNA'S, ADVOCATE PURCHASED ACCESS TO METOPIO, A CHNA DATA TOOL. METOPIO IS A SOFTWARE AND SERVICES COMPANY THAT IS GROUNDED IN THE PHILOSOPHY THAT COMMUNITIES ARE CONNECTED THROUGH PLACES AND PEOPLE. METOPIO'S TOOLS AND VISUALIZATIONS USE DATA TO REVEAL VALUABLE, INTERCONNECTED FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE HEALTH OUTCOMES IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. METOPIO OFFERS A DATA, TAILORED TO SUPPORT ALL ADVOCATE AURORA HEALTH HOSPITALS WITH IDENTIFYING HEALTH INEQUITIES IN COMMUNITIES. METOPIO USES THE MOST CURRENT DATA SOURCES AND CREATES TOOLS AND INDICES THAT FOCUS ON THE COMMUNITIES WITHIN THE AAH SERVICES AREAS. THE DATA CAN BE USED TO FOCUS ON SPECIFIC REGIONS, COMMUNITIES, AND HOSPITAL SERVICES AREAS. BELOW IS A DESCRIPTION OF TWO IMPORTANT INDICES FOUND IN METOPIO. HARDSHIP INDEX DESCRIPTION. THE HARDSHIP INDEX WAS ORIGINALLY DEVELOPED BY RICHARD P. NATHAN AND CHARLES F. ADAMS, JR. IN 1976 TO COMPARE SOCIOECONOMIC CONDITIONS BETWEEN COMMUNITIES. IT IS HIGHLY CORRELATED WITH OTHER MEASURES OF ECONOMIC HARDSHIP, SUCH AS LABOR FORCE STATISTICS, AND WITH POOR HEALTH OUTCOMES. THE INDEX COMBINES THE FOLLOWING TOPICS INTO A SINGLE COMPOSITE VALUE ON A SCALE OF 0-100: CROWDED HOUSING (MORE THAN ONE PERSON PER ROOM) POVERTY RATE FOR HOUSEHOLDS UNEMPLOYMENT RATE ADULTS WITH A HIGH SCHOOL DEGREE OR EQUIVALENT AGE DEPENDENCY RATIO (% OF RESIDENTS WHO ARE <18 OR >65 YEARS OLD, COMPARED TO THOSE OF WORKING AGE) PER-CAPITA INCOME HIGHER VALUES INDICATE GREATER HARDSHIP AND CORRELATE HIGHER WITH POOR HEALTH OUTCOMES. THE INDEX DOES NOT PRESERVE THE RATIO BETWEEN TWO PLACES, SO IF ONE PLACE HAS TWICE THE HARDSHIP INDEX OF ANOTHER, WE CANNOT SAY THAT IT EXPERIENCES "TWICE AS MUCH HARDSHIP" AS ANOTHER PLACE. INSTEAD, COMPARE DIFFERENT PLACES USING THE CONSTITUENT TOPICS. SOCIAL VULNERABILITY INDEX. THE SOCIAL VULNERABILITY INDEX (SVI) WAS DEVELOPED BY THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION (CDC) TO HELP PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLANNERS IDENTIFY AND MAP THE COMMUNITIES THAT WILL MOST LIKELY NEED SUPPORT BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER A HAZARDOUS EVENT, SUCH AS A NATURAL DISASTER, DISEASE OUTBREAK, OR CHEMICAL SPILL. SVI INDICATES RELATIVE VULNERABILITY BY RANKING PLACES ON 15 SOCIAL FACTORS THAT CAN BE DIVIDED INTO 4 CATEGORIES: SOCIOECONOMIC HOUSEHOLD COMPOSITION & DISABILITY MINORITY STATUS & LANGUAGE HOUSING TYPE & TRANSPORTATION THE ORIGINAL SCORE IS ON A SCALE FROM 0-1, BUT IT IS MULTIPLIED BY 100 FOR READABILITY ON METOPIO. A HIGHER SCORE REPRESENTS A COMMUNITY MORE VULNERABLE TO A HAZARDOUS EVENT. DETAILED DOCUMENTATION IS AVAILABLE FROM THE CDC HERE .ADVOCATE CONTINUES TO WORK LOCALLY AND NATIONALLY WITH MANY PROMINENT COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO ADDRESS SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. EXAMPLES OF THESE EFFORTS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING. HEALTH CARE ANCHOR NETWORK (HAN). AAH IS A FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE HEALTHCARE ANCHOR NETWORK WHICH HAS EXPANDED TO INCLUDE 70 OTHER AREA HEALTH SYSTEM AND HOSPITAL PARTNERS. AAH HAS SIGNIFICANT ECONOMIC AND HUMAN RESOURCES ACROSS ITS SERVICE AREA AS THE LARGEST EMPLOYER IN THE MILWAUKEE AREA AND THE FOURTH LARGEST IN CHICAGO. TO LEVERAGE THESE RESOURCES, IN 2019, AAH ANNOUNCED A COMMITMENT TO INVEST $50 MILLION TO HELP ADDRESS THE ECONOMIC, RACIAL, AND ENVIRONMENTAL DISPARITIES THAT IMPACT COMMUNITY HEALTH OUTCOMES AND DECREASE HEALTH INEQUITY. ADDITIONALLY, AAH COMMITTED TO DRIVING COMMUNITY HEALTH AND WELL-BEING THROUGH ITS INCLUSIVE, LOCAL HIRING AND LOCAL PURCHASING STRATEGIES AND INITIATIVES.ADVOCATE AURORA $50M INVESTMENT PLEDGE. AAH IS AMONG THE FIRST HEALTH SYSTEMS IN THE COUNTRY TO MAKE A SIGNIFICANT COMMITMENT TO INVESTING IN TARGETED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. THE ANCHOR STRATEGY INVESTMENTS ARE TARGETED TO ENHANCE CRITICAL SERVICES SUCH AS AFFORDABLE OR SUPPORTIVE HOUSING AND FOOD ACCESS IN COMMUNITIES THAT LEAD TO IMPROVED HEALTH AND DEMONSTRATED DOWNSTREAM BENEFITS TO OUR PATIENTS AND THE COMMUNITY. INITIALLY, THE INVESTMENT WORK WAS DONE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FINANCING INSTITUTIONS (CDFIS) TO FUND PROJECTS. ALTHOUGH NOT A PROFIT MAXIMIZING ACTIVITY, THIS INVESTMENT COMMITMENT WILL RESULT IN A RETURN OF THE PRINCIPAL TO THE ORGANIZATION WITH INTEREST TO ENSURE A SUSTAINABLE INVESTMENT CAPACITY FOR REINVESTMENT OVER TIME. A COMMUNITY INVESTMENT STRATEGY TEAM WAS FORMED TO PLAN AND GUIDE THE WORKCONSISTING OF FINANCE AND TREASURY, COMMUNITY HEALTH AND OPERATIONS TEAMS TO DEVELOP THE SCOPE AND PROCESS. THE TEAM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DEPLOYING $50 MILLION IN LOANS TO CDFIS ACROSS OUR FOOTPRINT BY THE END OF 2025. TO DATE, THE TEAM HAS COMPLETED 4 CONTRACTS WITH LOCAL CDFIS: $25M WITH LOCAL INITIATIVE SUPPORT CORPORATION (LISC) $5M WITH IFF $2.5M WITH CHICAGO COMMUNITY LOAN FUND (CCLF) $1M WITH WISCONSIN WOMEN'S BUSINESS INITIATIVE CORPORATION (WWBIC)ADVOCATE AURORA PURCHASING COMMITMENT. THIS ANCHOR STRATEGY BUILDS ON THE EXISTING DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION PURCHASING STRATEGIES AND ESTABLISHES TARGETS RELATED TO INCREASING THE NUMBER OF LOCAL AND DIVERSE VENDORS WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF THE INVESTMENT STRATEGY ALSO FUNDING STRATEGIC BUSINESSES SUCH AS URBAN AGRICULTURE VENTURES TO QUALIFY MORE BUSINESS AS VENDORS. ON JUNE 9, 2021, AAH ANNOUNCED SIGNING THE "IMPACT PURCHASING COMMITMENT"DESIGNED BY THE HEALTH ANCHOR NETWORK (HAN)TO BUILD HEALTHY, EQUITABLE, AND CLIMATE-RESILIENT LOCAL ECONOMIES THROUGH SPENDING. THE COMMITMENT INCLUDES INCREASING SPENDING WITH MINORITY AND WOMEN OWNED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES (MWBES) AS WELL AS LOCAL AND EMPLOYEE-OWNED, COOPERATIVELY OWNED AND/OR NONPROFIT-OWNED ENTERPRISES, BY AT LEAST $1 BILLION OVER FIVE YEARS. AAH WILL ALSO WORK WITH AT LEAST TWO OF THEIR LARGE EXISTING VENDORS TO CREATE HIRING PIPELINES IN THE DISINVESTED COMMUNITIES THAT IT SERVES AND WILL COMMIT TO ADOPTING SUSTAINABLE PROCUREMENT GOALS. THERE ARE SEVERAL ADDITIONAL EXAMPLES OF EFFORTS TO STRENGTHEN CORPORATE OPTIONS THROUGH HUMAN RESOURCE, SUPPLY CHAIN, ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP AND INVESTMENT POLICIES THAT IMPACT THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH IN THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY ADVOCATE.ADVOCATE IS ALSO STRENGTHENING CORPORATE OPTIONS THROUGH HUMAN RESOURCE, SUPPLY CHAIN, ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP AND INVESTMENT POLICIES TO IMPACT THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH IN THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES.ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERSHIP. ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE IS COMMITTED TO GREENING HEALTH CARE BECAUSE IT IS DEEPLY CONNECTED TO THE PURPOSE OF OUR ORGANIZATION HEALTH AND HEALING. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE HEALTH OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE HEALTH OF THE PATIENTS AND COMMUNITIES WE SERVE IS INEXTRICABLY LINKED AND THAT A HEALTHY PLANET SUPPORTS HEALTHY PEOPLE. REDUCING WASTE, CONSERVING ENERGY AND WATER, MINIMIZING USE OF TOXIC CHEMICALS, AND CONSTRUCTING ECO-FRIENDLY BUILDINGS FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW ALL THESE EFFORTS HAVE A DIRECT BENEFIT ON THE HEALTH OF LOCAL COMMUNITIES VIA CLEANER COMMUNITIES, HEALTHIER AIR QUALITY, REDUCED GREENHOUSE GASES, AND PRESERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES. AS WE WORK TO REDUCE THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND HEALTH IMPACT OF HEALTH CARE, OUR ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP PRACTICES HELP EASE THE BURDEN OF HEALTH CARE COSTS BOTH DIRECTLY (LOWER ENERGY COSTS) AND INDIRECTLY (LOWER ENVIRONMENTALLY RELATED DISEASE BURDEN). MENTORING AND EDUCATION. AS WE WORK TO SERVE THE HEALTH NEEDS OF TODAY'S PATIENTS AND FAMILIES WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE NEEDS OF FUTURE GENERATIONS, ADVOCATE HAS COMMITTED RESOURCES TO SHARING LESSONS LEARNED AND BEST PRACTICES WITH OTHER HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS, BOTH LOCALLY AND NATIONALLY. ADVOCATE SERVES IN A LEADERSHIP, ADVOCACY AND MENTORING ROLE NATIONALLY THROUGH PARTICIPATION IN SEVERAL HEALTHCARE SUSTAINABILITY LEADERSHIP GROUPS AND ADVISORY BOARDS, ADDRESSING SAFER CHEMICALS IN FURNISHING AND MEDICAL PRODUCTS, GREEN BUILDING, CLIMATE CHANGE, PLASTICS RECYCLING, AND ENVIRONMENTALLY PREFERABLE PURCHASING: HEALTH CARE CLIMATE COUNCIL HEALTHCARE ANCHOR NETWORK HEALTHCARE PLASTICS RECYCLING COALITION HEALTHCARE FACILITY ADVISORY BOARD PRACTICE GREENHEALTH MARKET TRANSFORMATION GROUP SAFER CHEMICALS HEALTHY BUILDING NETWORK PREMIER ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL STEERING COUNCIL OVERSIGHT AND SIGNATORY OF THE CHEMICAL FOOTPRINT PROJECTADVOCATE ALSO COMMONLY PROVIDES MENTORING TO HEALTH CARE COMMUNITY ON SUSTAINABILITY BEST PRACTICES THROUGH PRESENTATIONS AND WEBINARS, AS WELL AS TO INDIVIDUAL HEALTH CARE INSTITUTIONS ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS.

ADVOCATE IS A FOUNDING MEMBER AND INVESTING PARTNER OF STAKEHOLDER HEALTH, FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE HEALTH SYSTEMS LEARNING GROUP. STAKEHOLDER HEALTH IS A LOOSELY ORGANIZED LEARNING COLLABORATIVE OF MORE THAN 50 HEALTH SYSTEMS AND OTHER INVESTED INSTITUTIONS ADVANCING PROFOUND CHANGES NEEDED FOR JUST, EQUITABLE, AND EFFECTIVE HEALTH CARE. THE COLLABORATIVE SUPPORTS THREE KEY INTERVENTIONSENGAGE THE SOCIAL COMPLEXITY OF PATIENTS; WORK WITH LARGE-SCALE COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS; CAPTURE GREATER VALUE FROM FUNDS ALREADY GOING TO CHARITY CARE. ADVOCATE STAFF SERVE ON THE ADVISORY COUNCIL AND HAVE BEEN ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN OFFERING THOUGHT LEADERSHIP SINCE ITS INCEPTION. AAH STAFF RECENTLY ATTENDED A MEETING THAT INCLUDED GUIDED CONVERSATIONS BY THOUGHT LEADERS SCOTT REINER, FORMER CEO OF ADVENTIST HEALTH AND CO-FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT OF THE REINER FOUNDATION; AND SOMAVA (SOMA) SAHA, MD, EXECUTIVE LEAD, WELL-BEING AND EQUITY (WE) IN THE WORLD AND WELL-BEING IN THE NATION (WIN) NETWORK, AROUND IMPROVING THE HEALTH AND WELLBEING OF COMMUNITIES.ADVOCATE WORKS TO LEVERAGE RESOURCES AND MAXIMIZE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT BY BUILDING AND STRENGTHENING COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS WITH HEALTH DEPARTMENTS AND OTHER DIVERSE COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. A PRIMARY VALUE OF ADVOCATE'S COMMUNITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT IS COLLABORATION WITH PARTNERS, PREFERABLY THROUGH A COLLECTIVE IMPACT MODEL. IN ORDER TO ALIGN INITIATIVES WITH LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS AND THEIR COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES, ALL ADVOCATE HOSPITALS COLLABORATE WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE HEALTH DEPARTMENTS DURING THE CHNA AND HEALTH IMPROVEMENT (IMPLEMENTATION PLAN) CYCLES. ONE SUCH NOTABLE COLLABORATION IN WHICH ADVOCATE SYSTEM LEADERSHIP PLAYED A VITAL ROLE IS AS FOLLOWS. THE ALLIANCE FOR HEALTH EQUITY (FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE HEALTH IMPACT COLLABORATIVE OF COOK COUNTY [HICCC]). ADVOCATE AURORA HEALTH, PRESENCE HEALTH (NOW KNOWN AS AMITA HEALTH) AND THE ILLINOIS PUBLIC HEALTH INSTITUTE (IPHI) WERE THE THREE FOUNDING ORGANIZATIONS OF THE HEALTH IMPACT COLLABORATIVE OF COOK COUNTY (HICCC). THESE ORGANIZATIONS INVITED HEALTH DEPARTMENTS AND ALL COOK COUNTY NONPROFIT HOSPITALS TO JOIN THEM IN CREATING WHAT IS NOW ONE OF THE LARGEST CHNA AND COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT COLLABORATIVES IN THE COUNTRY. THE INITIAL PARTICIPATING HOSPITALS AND HEALTH DEPARTMENTS WORKED TOGETHER TO DESIGN A SHARED LEADERSHIP MODEL AND COLLABORATIVE INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT COMMUNITY-ENGAGED PLANNING PARTNERSHIPS AND STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT OF IMPLEMENTATION PLANS TO FACILITATE MORE EFFECTIVE AND SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT. IN LATE 2017, HICCC MERGED WITH THE HEALTHY CHICAGO HOSPITALS COLLABORATIVE TO CREATE THE ALLIANCE FOR HEALTH EQUITY (THE ALLIANCE). IPHI SERVES AS THE BACKBONE ORGANIZATION FOR THE COLLABORATIVE AND THE HOSPITALS PROVIDE FUNDING FOR THE SHARED ASSESSMENT AND COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLANNING WORK. IN 2019, THE ALLIANCE GREW TO INCLUDE 37 NONPROFIT AND PUBLIC HOSPITALS, SIX LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS AND MORE THAN 100 COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. THE ALLIANCE COMPLETED A COLLABORATIVE CHNA BETWEEN MARCH 2018 AND MARCH 2019 .THIS CHNA CAN BE VIEWED AT ALLHEALTHEQUITY.ORG/FINAL2019 CHNA-REPORT.PDF.PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DATA FROM A DIVERSE RANGE OF SOURCES WERE UTILIZED FOR ROBUST DATA ANALYSIS AND TO IDENTIFY COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS IN CHICAGO AND SUBURBAN COOK COUNTY. FOR THE 2019 CHNA, THE ALLIANCE FOR HEALTH EQUITY BUILT ON THE PREVIOUS COLLABORATIVE CHNA WORK (2016), PREVIOUS CHNA REPORTS FROM MEMBER HOSPITALS, HEALTHY CHICAGO 2.0 (2016), AND WEPLAN 2020 (2016). ADVOCATE CONTINUES TO BE ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN LEADERSHIP OF THE ALLIANCE PARTNERSHIP, SERVING ON THE STEERING COMMITTEE. ADVOCATE HOSPITALS, AS WELL AS THE OTHER MEMBER HOSPITALS, PROVIDE THE MONETARY SUPPORT FOR THE COLLABORATIVE'S WORK AND SUPPORT THE COST OF STAFF AND OVERSIGHT PROVIDED BY THE ILLINOIS PUBLIC HEALTH INSTITUTE. ADDITIONALLY, ADVOCATE HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN LEADING THIS ASSESSMENT WORK AS AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE STEERING COMMITTEE, PROVIDING FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO THE ALLIANCE AGAIN IN 2020.THE PRIORITY AREAS SELECTED BY THE ALLIANCE INCLUDE SOCIAL AND STRUCTURAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, ACCESS TO CARE, MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS, CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS, INJURY INCLUDING VIOLENCE, AND MATERNAL/FETAL HEALTH. ALL PARTICIPATING HOSPITALS SELECTED SOME OF THE PRIORITIES TO ADDRESS IN THE AREAS SERVED. THERE ARE MULTIPLE WORK GROUPS ADDRESSING THE PRIORITY AREAS AND ADVOCATE STAFF SERVE ON MOST OF THE WORK GROUPS.ADVOCATE PROMOTES ACCOUNTABILITY FOR SYSTEM AND SITE ALIGNMENT BY INCREASING PROGRAM COORDINATION AND DEVELOPING STRONG GOVERNANCE RELATIONSHIPS.SYSTEM OVERSIGHT OF COMMUNITY HEALTH. ADVOCATE HAS TAKEN SEVERAL STEPS TO ASSURE SYSTEM AND SITE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR AND ALIGNMENT OF COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT EFFORTS. THESE ACTIONS INCLUDE DEVELOPING A GOVERNANCE AND DEPARTMENTAL INFRASTRUCTURE AT THE SITES AND SYSTEM LEVELS TO LEAD AND SUPPORT EFFORTS, AND TO INCLUDE ADVOCATE'S AMPLE CLINICAL EXPERTISE IN DEVELOPING AND SUSTAINING EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAMS THAT MEASURABLY IMPACT/IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH.HOSPITAL GOVERNING COUNCILS. COMMUNITY HEALTH IS STRONGLY INTEGRATED INTO ADVOCATE'S GOVERNANCE STRUCTURES. COMMUNITY HEALTH COUNCILS, COMPRISED OF COMMUNITY EXPERTS AND HOSPITAL LEADERS, HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED AT EACH OF THE ADVOCATE HOSPITALS. THESE COUNCILS ARE CO-LED BY THE HOSPITAL COMMUNITY HEALTH LEADER AND A HOSPITAL GOVERNING COUNCIL MEMBER. A MINIMUM OF 50% OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS FOR THE 2019 CHNA REPORT AND 2020-2022 COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPLEMENTATION PLAN CYCLES WERE COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVES WITH A FOCUS ON PEOPLE WHO REPRESENTED UNDERSERVED AND VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. DEPENDENT ON THE HOSPITAL, THE COUNCILS MET THREE OR FOUR TIMES DURING THE YEAR.HOSPITAL COMMUNITY HEALTH STAFF ANALYZED AND PRESENTED PRIMARY AND SECONDARY COMMUNITY HEALTH DATA TO THE HOSPITALS' COMMUNITY HEALTH COUNCILS. THE COUNCIL MEMBERS IDENTIFIED THE HOSPITAL SERVICE AREAS' SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS, SUBSEQUENTLY EMPLOYING CONSENSUS-BASED, PRIORITY-SETTING PROCESSES TO DETERMINE THE NEEDS UPON WHICH TO FOCUS. AS PART OF THE PRIORITIZATION PROCESS, THE COUNCILS SCANNED HOSPITAL AND COMMUNITY CHALLENGES AND ASSETS, AS WELL AS POTENTIAL PARTNERSHIPS WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT MIGHT RESULT IN LARGER HEALTH IMPROVEMENT IMPACT.TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE 2017-2019 CHNA CYCLE DATA ASSESSMENT RESULTS FOR EACH HOSPITAL, VISIT HOSPITAL CHNA REPORTS IMPLEMENTATION PLANS PROGRESS REPORTS | ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE.
PART VI, 6. AFFILIATED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM CONT.SERVICE LINE AND POPULATION HEALTH ENGAGEMENT. TO SUPPORT FURTHER ALIGNMENT WITHIN ADVOCATE, THE SYSTEM COMMUNITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT HAS ALSO WORKED TO ENGAGE SYSTEM DEFINED CLINICAL SERVICE LINES IN EXPANDING THEIR FOCUS ON COMMUNITY HEALTH. ADVOCATE IS VIEWED AS A LEADER IN THE POPULATION HEALTH MANAGEMENT ARENA. AN EARLY ADOPTER OF MANAGING CARE ACROSS POPULATIONS, ADVOCATE HAS SIGNIFICANT SUCCESS IMPROVING HEALTH OUTCOMES WHILE DECREASING OR MAINTAINING COST OF CARE DELIVERY. ADVOCATE'S COMMUNITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT HAS INTENTIONALLY ALIGNED WITH ADVOCATE POPULATION HEALTH LEADERS AND ADVOCATE SERVICE LINES. THIS ALIGNMENT ASSURES THAT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITIES ADVOCATE SERVES AND OUR PATIENTS RECEIVE COMMUNITY-BASED INTERVENTIONS, AS WELL AS EDUCATION AND PROGRAMMING, THAT ALIGNS WITH THEIR HEALTH NEEDS. FOLLOWING ARE TWO EXAMPLES OF EDUCATION AND PROGRAMMING ALIGNED WITH POPULATION HEALTH AND SERVICE LINE DEVELOPMENT THAT REFLECT THIS INTEGRATED APPROACH. FOOD INSECURITY. ADVOCATE'S COMMUNITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT IS WORKING CLOSELY WITH INTERNAL SERVICES LINES TO IMPLEMENT HOSPITAL-BASED FOOD PANTRY PROGRAMS AND ADDRESS FOOD INSECURITY BY WORKING WITH CLINICAL AND NON-CLINICAL LEADERS. BEHAVIORAL HEALTH. AS MENTIONED EARLIER, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH COUNCIL INTEGRATION STRATEGIES HAVE INCLUDED COMMUNITY HEALTH STAFF OFFERING THE EVIDENCE-BASED MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID CLASSES TO TARGETED COMMUNITY MEMBERS FOR THE PURPOSE OF REDUCING STIGMA, AND TRAINING COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO RECOGNIZE MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AND UNDERSTAND APPROPRIATE INTERVENTIONS.ADVOCATE PHYSICIAN PARTNERS (APP). ADVOCATE POPULATION HEALTH LEADERS AND ADVOCATE COMMUNITY HEALTH LEADERS ARE ALSO PARTNERING TO DEVELOP NEW APPROACHES TO PATIENT SCREENING AND RESOURCING FOR SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. ADVOCATE ALSO PROVIDES AN INFRASTRUCTURE TO ALLOW COMMUNITY MEMBERS WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO VOLUNTEER AT VARIOUS ADVOCATE SITES OF CARE, AS WELL AS PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR ADVOCATE TEAM MEMBERS TO VOLUNTEER IN THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY ADVOCATE.VOLUNTEERS FROM THE COMMUNITY. EACH YEAR, VOLUNTEERS FROM THE COMMUNITY SHARE THEIR TIME AND TALENTS THROUGH SERVICE AT ADVOCATE'S HOSPITALS, ADVOCATE MEDICAL GROUP AND ADVOCATE AT HOME, AND IN THEIR OWN WAY, FURTHER ADVOCATE'S COMMITMENT TO PROVIDING EXCELLENT HEALTH CARE. IN 2020, MOST VOLUNTEERS WERE LIMITED TO SERVING FROM JANUARY THROUGH MID-MARCH DUE TO ADVOCATE'S ADHERENCE TO COVID-19 SAFETY GUIDELINES, WHICH SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED THE HOURS THEY WERE ABLE TO DEVOTE TO ADVOCATE SITES. IN 2021, ADVOCATE AURORA HEALTH MANAGED TO OPEN VOLUNTEER SERVICES AND WELCOMED A TOTAL OF 1,561 COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS IN 2021. THAT ENGAGED PATIENTS, FAMILIES AND STAFF IN A VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES, SOME OF WHICH WERE: PROVIDING INFORMATION DESK SERVICES TO VISITORS; CLERICAL SUPPORT TO STAFF; SERVING CUSTOMERS IN HOSPITAL GIFT AND RESALE SHOPS; OFFERING COMPASSIONATE CONCERN TO PATIENTS AND THEIR LOVED ONES IN MULTIPLE HOSPITAL AREAS, SUCH AS THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, INTENSIVE CARE UNIT, SURGERY WAITING ROOM, POST-ANESTHESIA CARE AND NURSERY INTENSIVE CARE UNITS; ASSISTING WITH COMMUNITY HEALTH SCREENINGS AND BLOOD DRIVE EVENTS; PROVIDING CHEERFUL SERVICE TO PATIENTS BY DELIVERING FLOWERS, MAIL AND NEWSPAPERS; AND PROVIDING SUPPORT SERVICES IN THE HOSPITAL THAT HAVE LIBRARIES AND/OR WELLNESS CENTERS. VOLUNTEERS FROM THE COMMUNITY ALSO GIVE THEIR TIME AND TALENTS TO VARIOUS OTHER PROGRAMS AND FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES. MEMBERS OF ADVOCATE'S HOSPITAL AUXILIARIES PLAN AND ENGAGE IN FUNDRAISING EFFORTS TO SUPPORT NOT ONLY SERVICES IN THE HOSPITAL BUT ALSO COMMUNITY-FOCUSED PROGRAMS AND SERVICES. STUDENTS FROM THE COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME TO TAKING CARE OF CHILDREN IN THE PEDIATRIC DEVELOPMENTAL CENTER LOCATED ON ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC'S CAMPUS SO THAT PARENTS CAN MEET WITH THE CENTER'S STAFF TO LEARN THE SKILLS NECESSARY TO WORK WITH THEIR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS SO THEY CAN REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL. THE HEARTS FOR HOPE GROUP AT ADVOCATE CHILDREN'SOAK LAWN IS COMPRISED OF GRATEFUL PARENTS, CONCERNED FAMILIES AND CARING COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO SUPPORT THE MISSION OF THE HOSPITAL. THE VOLUNTEERS ENSURE THEY HAVE A PRESENCE IN THE HOSPITAL BY POSITIVELY IMPACTING FAMILY-CENTERED CARE, AS WELL AS WORKING TO RAISE FUNDS AND AWARENESS THROUGH PHILANTHROPIC EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES BENEFITING ADVOCATE CHILDREN'S. ADVOCATE TEAM MEMBERS (STAFF) VOLUNTEERING IN THE COMMUNITY. ADVOCATE TEAM MEMBERS (EMPLOYEES) AND PHYSICIANS ARE ENCOURAGED TO DONATE TO, VOLUNTEER AT AND HELP RAISE FUNDS FOR COMMUNITY INITIATIVES. ADVOCATE PROMOTES AND SUPPORTS TEAM MEMBER, PHYSICIAN AND HOSPITAL PARTICIPATION IN FOUR COMPANY-SPONSORED WALKS FOR MULTIPLE HEALTH-RELATED, NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, INCLUDING THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION (AHA HEART WALK), AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY (MAKING STRIDES AGAINST BREAST CANCER), ALZHEIMER'S ASSOCIATION (WALK TO END ALZHEIMER'S) AND THE MARCH OF DIMES (MARCH FOR BABIES). IN 2021, DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, THESE WALKS WERE HELD EITHER VIRTUALLY OR AS HYBRID EVENTS (VIRTUAL + IN-PERSON) WITH 1,272 ADVOCATE TEAM MEMBERS REGISTERED IN THE ANNUAL LOCAL FUNDRAISERS AND $273,612 IN CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS RAISED TO SUPPORT THESE PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS. THIS YEAR, ADVOCATE WAS DESIGNATED BY THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION AS THE #1 HEALTH CARE COMPANY IN THE MIDWEST. IN ADDITION, ADVOCATE'S ASSOCIATES AND PHYSICIANS GENEROUSLY SUPPORT MULTIPLE COMMUNITY PARTNERS, PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES, INCLUDING SOME OF ADVOCATE'S OWN SYSTEM-WIDE AND HOSPITAL-BASED COMMUNITY HEALTH PROGRAMS. IN 2021, ADVOCATE TEAM MEMBERS, NURSES AND PHYSICIANS CONTRIBUTED MORE THAN $1.1 MILLION THROUGH THE ANNUAL ADVOCATE AURORA TEAM MEMBER GIVING CAMPAIGN. ADVOCATE ASSOCIATES DEVOTE WORK TIME VOLUNTEERING ON DOZENS OF COMMUNITY BOARDS, COMMITTEES, COUNCILS, TASK FORCES AND COALITIONS, USING THEIR TALENTS TO SUPPORT A VARIETY OF COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS. AN EXAMPLE OF ASSOCIATE VOLUNTEERISM IS ADVOCATE SHERMAN'S DIRECTOR OF SERVICE EXCELLENCE AND POPULATION HEALTH PARTICIPATION IN LEADING THE ALIGNMENT FOR COLLABORATIVE EDUCATION (ACE). THE DIRECTOR SERVES AS A MEMBER OF THE ACE OPERATING BOARD. THE COLLABORATIVE IS FOCUSED ON SUPPORTING PUBLIC SCHOOL STRATEGIES THAT PROMOTE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT TO ASSIST ELGIN AREA CHILDREN IN BECOMING RESILIENT, HEALTHY AND PRODUCTIVE MEMBERS OF SOCIETY. ADVOCATE GOOD SAMARITAN'S VICE PRESIDENT OF SUPPORT OPERATIONS AND THE PRESIDENT OF MEDICAL STAFF DEVOTE TIME TO SERVE ON THE DUPAGE HEALTH COALITION'S BOARDDUPAGE HEALTH COALITION IS AN ORGANIZATION THAT LINKS UNINSURED AND UNDOCUMENTED INDIVIDUALS TO PRIMARY AND SPECIALTY HEALTHCARE AND INSURANCE. YET ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF ASSOCIATE VOLUNTEERISM IS ADVOCATE TRINITY HOSPITAL'S PRESIDENT AND AAH'S REGIONAL VICE PRESIDENT TIME DEVOTED TO THE SOUTH SIDE HEALTHY COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION, A COMMUNITY COALITION FOCUSED ON IMPROVING HEALTH EQUITY ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF CHICAGO.
