| FACILITY 1, COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER - PART V, LINE 5 | SETION B., COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT, LINES 3, 5 AND 6A: A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH TO COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT THE GEISINGER COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) WAS CONDUCTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH GEISINGER, ALLIED SERVICES INTEGRATED HEALTH SYSTEM, AND EVANGELICAL COMMUNITY HOSPITAL. THE STUDY AREA INCLUDED 19 COUNTIES ACROSS CENTRAL, NORTHEASTERN, AND SOUTH CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA WHICH REPRESENT THE COLLECTIVE SERVICE AREAS OF THE COLLABORATING HOSPITALS. TO DISTINGUISH UNIQUE SERVICE AREAS AMONG HOSPITALS AND FOSTER COOPERATION WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO IMPACT HEALTH NEEDS, REGIONAL RESEARCH AND LOCAL REPORTING WAS DEVELOPED. THE COLLABORATING HEALTH SYSTEMS AGREED THAT BY COORDINATING EFFORTS TO IDENTIFY COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ACROSS THE REGION, THE HEALTH SYSTEMS WOULD CONSERVE COMMUNITY RESOURCES WHILE DEMONSTRATING LEADERSHIP IN CONVENING LOCAL COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO ADDRESS COMMON PRIORITY NEEDS. BEST PRACTICES IN COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT DEMONSTRATE THAT FOSTERING "COLLECTIVE IMPACT" IS AMONG THE MOST SUCCESSFUL WAYS TO AFFECT THE HEALTH OF A COMMUNITY. COLLECTIVE IMPACT IS ACHIEVED BY COMMITTING A DIVERSE GROUP OF STAKEHOLDERS TOWARD A COMMON GOAL OR ACTION, PARTICULARLY TO IMPACT DEEP ROOTED SOCIAL OR HEALTH NEEDS. BY TAKING A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH TO THE CHNA, GEISINGER, ALLIED SERVICES INTEGRATED HEALTH SYSTEM, AND EVANGELICAL COMMUNITY HOSPITAL ARE LEADING THE WAY TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF COMMUNITIES IN CENTRAL, NORTHEASTERN, AND SOUTH CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA. THE FOLLOWING PAGES DESCRIBE THE PROCESS AND RESEARCH METHODS USED IN THE FY2019 CHNA AND THE FINDINGS THAT PORTRAY THE HEALTH STATUS OF THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE AND OUTLINE OPPORTUNITIES TO WORK WITH OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO ADVANCE HEALTH AMONG ALL RESIDENTS ACROSS OUR SERVICE AREAS. THE CHNA WAS OVERSEEN BY A PLANNING COMMITTEE OF REPRESENTATIVES FROM EACH HEALTH SYSTEM, AS WELL AS A REGIONAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE OF REPRESENTATIVES FROM EACH HOSPITAL. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT WAS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE CHNA. WEBINARS WERE HELD IN OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER 2017 TO ANNOUNCE THE ONSET OF THE CHNA AND ENCOURAGE BROAD PARTICIPATION ACROSS THE REGION. THROUGHOUT OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER 2017, A KEY INFORMANT SURVEY WAS SENT TO APPROXIMATELY 1,000 REPRESENTATIVES OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS, RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS, CIVIC ASSOCIATIONS, BUSINESSES, ELECTED OFFICIALS AND OTHER COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVES. PARTNER FORUMS WERE HELD THROUGHOUT THE REGION IN JANUARY 2018 TO BRING TOGETHER THESE PARTNERS TO REVIEW RESEARCH FINDINGS AND PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON THE MOST PRESSING COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS. IN MARCH AND APRIL 2018, FOCUS GROUPS WITH SENIORS WERE HELD TO BETTER UNDERSTAND CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVING HEALTH AMONG HIGH RISK POPULATIONS. COMMUNITY FORUMS ARE PLANNED FOR FALL 2018 TO PRESENT CHNA FINDINGS AND IMPLEMENTATION PLANS TO COMMUNITY RESIDENTS AND PROVIDE A FORUM FOR DIALOGUE ABOUT ADDRESSING COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS. CHNA METHODOLOGY THE FY2019 CHNA WAS CONDUCTED FROM SEPTEMBER 2017 TO APRIL 2018 AND USED BOTH PRIMARY AND SECONDARY RESEARCH TO ILLUSTRATE AND COMPARE HEALTH TRENDS AND DISPARITIES ACROSS THE REGION. PRIMARY RESEARCH WAS USED TO SOLICIT INPUT FROM KEY COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS REPRESENTING THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING EXPERTS IN PUBLIC HEALTH AND INDIVIDUALS REPRESENTING MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED, LOW-INCOME AND MINORITY POPULATIONS. FOCUS GROUPS AND INTERVIEWS WERE USED TO COLLECT IN-DEPTH INSIGHT FROM HEALTH CONSUMERS REPRESENTING MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED OR HIGH RISK POPULATIONS. EXISTING DATA SOURCES, INCLUDING PUBLIC HEALTH STATISTICS, DEMOGRAPHIC AND SOCIAL MEASURES, AND HEALTHCARE UTILIZATION, WERE COLLECTED AND ANALYZED TO IDENTIFY HEALTH TRENDS ACROSS HOSPITAL SERVICE AREAS. SPECIFIC RESEARCH METHODS INCLUDED: -AN ANALYSIS OF STATISTICAL HEALTH AND SOCIOECONOMIC INDICATORS FROM ACROSS THE REGION -AN ANALYSIS AND COMPARISON OF ACUTE HOSPITAL UTILIZATION DATA -A KEY INFORMANT SURVEY WITH 113 COMMUNITY LEADERS AND REPRESENTATIVES -SIX REGIONAL PARTNER FORUMS WITH COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS TO IDENTIFY COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES AND FACILITATE COLLABORATION TOWARD COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT -TWELVE FOCUS GROUPS WITH SENIORS TO EXAMINE PREFERENCES, CHALLENGES, AND OPPORTUNITIES TO ACCESSING AND RECEIVING HEALTHCARE -PRIORITIZATION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS TO DETERMINE THE MOST PRESSING HEALTH ISSUES ON WHICH TO FOCUS COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT EFFORTS THE CHNA BUILT UPON THE HOSPITALS' PREVIOUS CHNAS AND SUBSEQUENT IMPLEMENTATION PLANS. THE RESEARCH FINDINGS WILL BE USED TO GUIDE COMMUNITY BENEFIT INITIATIVES FOR THE HOSPITALS AND ENGAGE LOCAL PARTNERS TO COLLECTIVELY ADDRESS IDENTIFIED HEALTH NEEDS. PRIORITIZED COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS IN ASSESSING THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY, GEISINGER AND ITS CHNA PARTNERS SOLICITED AND RECEIVED INPUT FROM PERSONS WHO REPRESENT THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY EACH HOSPITAL, INCLUDING THOSE WITH EXPERTISE IN PUBLIC HEALTH, REPRESENTATIVES OF MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED, LOW INCOME, AND MINORITY POPULATIONS, AND OTHER COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS WHO BROUGHT WIDE PERSPECTIVES ON COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS, EXISTING COMMUNITY RESOURCES TO MEET THOSE NEEDS, AND GAPS IN THE CURRENT SERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEM. THROUGH FACILITATED DIALOGUE AND A SERIES OF CRITERIA-BASED VOTING EXERCISES, THE FOLLOWING HEALTH ISSUES WERE PRIORITIZED AS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS ACROSS THE REGION ON WHICH TO FOCUS HEALTH IMPROVEMENT EFFORTS OVER THE COMING THREE-YEAR CYCLE. -ACCESS TO CARE -BEHAVIORAL HEALTH (TO INCLUDE SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH STRATEGIES) -CHRONIC DISEASE PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT (WITH A FOCUS ON INCREASING HEALTHY HABITS TO DIRECT COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND HEALTH IMPROVEMENT ACTIVITIES, GEISINGER AND ITS CHNA PARTNERS CREATED INDIVIDUAL IMPLEMENTATION PLANS FOR EACH HOSPITAL TO DETAIL THE RESOURCES AND SERVICES THAT WILL BE USED TO ADDRESS THESE IDENTIFIED HEALTH PRIORITIES. BOARD APPROVAL THE GEISINGER CHNA FINAL REPORTS WERE REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE GEISINGER HEALTH AFFILIATE BOARDS ON JUNE 20, 2018 AND THE GEISINGER HEALTH BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON JUNE 21, 2018. FOLLOWING THE BOARDS' APPROVAL, ALL CHNA REPORTS WERE MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC VIA THE GEISINGER WEBSITE AT HTTPS://WWW.GEISINGER.ORG/ABOUT-GEISINGER/COMMUNITY-ENGAGEMENT/CHNA. RESEARCH PARTNER BAKER TILLY WAS ENGAGED AS THE RESEARCH PARTNER FOR THE CHNA.

| FACILITY 1, COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER - PART V, LINE 11 | FIVE PRIORITY AREAS WERE IDENTIFIED WITHIN OUR CURRENT CHNA: ACCESS TO CARE, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, CHRONIC DISEASE, MATERNAL/INFANT HEALTH, AND SENIOR HEALTH. IN ASSESSING THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY, GEISINGER AND ITS CHNA PARTNERS SOLICITED AND RECEIVED INPUT FROM PERSONS WHO REPRESENT THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY EACH HOSPITAL, INCLUDING THOSE WITH EXPERTISE IN PUBLIC HEALTH, REPRESENTATIVES OF MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED, LOW INCOME, AND MINORITY POPULATIONS, AND OTHER COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS WHO BROUGHT WIDE PERSPECTIVES ON COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS, EXISTING COMMUNITY RESOURCES TO MEET THOSE NEEDS, AND GAPS IN THE CURRENT SERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEM. THROUGH FACILITATED DIALOGUE AND A SERIES OF CRITERIA-BASED VOTING EXERCISES, THE FOLLOWING HEALTH ISSUES WERE PRIORITIZED AS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS ACROSS THE REGION ON WHICH TO FOCUS HEALTH IMPROVEMENT EFFORTS OVER THE COMING THREE-YEAR CYCLE: ACCESS TO CARE, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, AND CHRONIC DISEASE. PROGRAMMING AND CLINICAL SERVICES WITHIN THESE PRIORITY AREAS IMPACT THE POPULATIONS OF MATERNAL/INFANT HEALTH AND SENIOR HEALTH AND ARE THEREBY SERVED THROUGH ALL APPROPRIATE HEALTH IMPROVEMENT EFFORTS. BELOW ARE SYSTEMWIDE PROGRAMS OFFERED BY GEISINGER TO FULFILL COMMUNITY NEEDS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED IN THE HOSPITAL'S MOST RECENT CHNA. SOME PROGRAMS ARE COMPLETELY OPERATED OR FUNDED BY GEISINGER AND SOME ARE OFFERED IN COOPERATION WITH LOCAL HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICE AGENCIES. FOR MORE SPECIFIC NEEDS FOUND IN OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES, WE OFFER PROGRAMS TO SERVE PATIENTS CLOSE TO HOME. THE TOP THREE NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE MOST RECENT AND/OR PAST CHNA SURVEYS FALL INTO ONE OF THREE COMMUNITY NEED CATEGORIES: 1)IMPROVING ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE: THE MOST SIGNIFICANT NEED IDENTIFIED WAS FOR BETTER, FASTER, MORE CONVENIENT AND LESS COSTLY ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE SERVICES. GEISINGER IS TAKING INNOVATIVE STEPS TO ADDRESS BARRIERS TO HEALTHCARE BY: INCREASING THE NUMBER OF RESIDENTS WHO HAVE A REGULAR PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER, INCREASING ACCESS TO PRIMARY AND SPECIALTY CARE PROVIDERS, REDUCING BARRIERS TO RECEIVING CARE FOR RESIDENTS WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION AND FOSTERING THE PURSUIT OF HEALTH CAREERS AND ONGOING TRAINING OF HEALTH PROFESSIONALS. 2)ADDRESSING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE: GEISINGER IS COMMITTED TO HELPING PATIENTS FIND HEALTHCARE SERVICES WHEN THEY ARE FACING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CHALLENGES OR STRUGGLING WITH ADDICTION. WE ADVANCE DIALOGUE AT THE LOCAL AND STATE LEVEL TO ADDRESS BEHAVIORAL HEALTH NEEDS. WE FOSTER INTEGRATION OF BEHAVIOR AND PRIMARY HEALTHCARE. WE PROVIDE EDUCATION TO INCREASE RESIDENTS' AWARENESS OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ISSUES AND REDUCE THE STIGMA ASSOCIATED WITH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CONDITIONS. AND WE STRIVE TO INCREASE ACCESS TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES. 3)MANAGING CHRONIC CONDITIONS: GEISINGER HAS NUMEROUS PROGRAMS TO HELP PATIENTS PREVENT AND MANAGE CHRONIC CONDITIONS. EFFORTS INCLUDE ENCOURAGING COMMUNITY INITIATIVES THAT SUPPORT ACCESS TO AND AVAILABILITY OF HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CHOICES, INITIATING EARLY STAGE INTERVENTIONS FOR INDIVIDUALS AT HIGH RISK FOR CHRONIC DISEASE AND ADDRESSING HEALTH LITERACY TO IMPROVE RESIDENTS' SELF-EFFICACY IN DISEASE MANAGEMENT. ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE LACK OF TRANSPORTATION IS A SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGE FOR MANY MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY. NOT BEING ABLE TO GET THE CARE THEY NEED - OR PUTTING OFF THE CARE THEY NEED UNTIL A MINOR HEALTH ISSUE BECOMES A MAJOR PROBLEM - IS A POPULATION HEALTH ISSUE THAT CANNOT BE IGNORED. THAT'S WHY GEISINGER HEALTH PLAN IS PARTNERING WITH LOCAL ENTITIES, SUCH AS NEPA MOVES AND THE EQUITABLE TRANSPORTATION WORKGROUP) TO EXPAND TRANSPORTATION SERVICES AND IMPROVE ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE AND SOCIAL SERVICES. THIS INITIATIVE IS PROJECTED TO HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON NO-SHOW RATES, FILL RATES, EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT UTILIZATION, LENGTHS-OF-STAY, UNPLANNED 30-DAY ADMISSIONS, CHANGES IN HEALTH STATUS AND QUALITY OF LIFE. IN ORDER TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN MORE HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS, WE ARE TRACKING RECRUITMENT DATA FOR NEW HIRES, GEISINGER COMMONWEALTH SCHOOL OF MEDICINE APPLICANTS AND NURSE EXTERNS. WE HAVE ALSO LAUNCHED A LUNCH-AND- LEARN PROGRAM IN NURSING WHERE LEADERSHIP PROVIDES INFORMATION ON CAREER PATHS WITHIN GEISINGER TO NURSING STUDENTS. THE CLINICAL LUNCHEONS WERE HELD WITH SCHOOLS THAT CONDUCT CLINICALS AT GCMC, A TOTAL OF 83 STUDENTS ATTEND LUNCHEONS. MORE LUNCHEONS WERE SCHEDULED; HOWEVER, DUE TO SCHOOL CANCELLATIONS, THE REMAINDER OF THE LUNCHEONS WERE CANCELED FOR THE SPRING OF 2020. APPROXIMATELY 17 STUDENTS WERE INTERESTED IN NURSING HERE AT GEISINGER. IN ORDER TO DECREASE UNNECESSARY VISITS TO OUR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, GEISINGER COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER IS WORKING WITH LOCAL CLINICS, ENCOURAGING THEM TO LEAVE OPEN SLOTS IN THEIR APPOINTMENT SCHEDULES SO PATIENTS HAVE EASIER ACCESS. WE ARE ALSO PROVIDING EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT VS. URGENT CARE PATIENT EDUCATION MATERIALS AT COMMUNITY EVENTS TO EDUCATE ON WHEN IT IS APPROPRIATE TO USE THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT. BEHAVIORAL HEALTH GEISINGER COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER HAS BEEN ADVOCATING TO REMOVE REGULATORY BARRIERS TO THE PROVISION OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES. AS A RESULT OF THESE EFFORTS, AN ADDICTION MEDICINE OUTPATIENT CLINIC WAS LAUNCHED AT 3 WEST OLIVE STREET IN SCRANTON ON APRIL 8, 2019, AND HAS RAMPED UP AND IS SERVING THE COMMUNITY. IN ADDITION, A WARM HANDOFF PROGRAM IS FUNCTIONAL WITHIN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AT GCMC IN COLLABORATION WITH THE SCRANTON COUNSELING CENTER. THIS PROGRAM IS STAFFED BY CERTIFIED RECOVERY SPECIALISTS, WHO ENGAGE PATIENTS WITH ADDICTIONS WITH THE GOAL OF EFFECTIVELY STEERING THEM TOWARD TREATMENT. THE OFFICE OF MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE SERVICES (OMHSAS) HAS APPROVED TELEPSYCHIATRY IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT FOR ADOLESCENTS FOR GEISINGER COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER. HOWEVER, SINCE THIS SERVICE OCCURS WITHIN A HOSPITAL, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH (DOH) APPROVAL MUST ALSO BE OBTAINED. THIS REQUEST HAS BEEN SUBMITTED. EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN ORDERED TO PROVIDE THIS SERVICE BUT HAS NOT YET ARRIVED. THE EQUIPMENT IS BEING FUNDED BY THE MOSES TAYLOR FUND IN COLLABORATION WITH THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH INITIATIVE. IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT THIS SERVICE WILL BE OPERATIONAL BY JUNE 1, 2020. TELEPSYCHIATRY SERVICES HAVE BEEN APPROVED FOR THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AT GEISINGER COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER AND FOR ADULT PATIENTS AND FOR ADULT AND PEDIATRIC PATIENTS AT THE MOUNT PLEASANT CLINIC. GEISINGER CAN REQUEST ADDITIONAL SITES AS LONG AS THESE SITES WILL BE SUPPORTED BY COMMUNITY CARE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH (CCBH) AND THE NORTHEAST BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE CONSORTIUM (NBHCC) FOR PAYMENT. PRELIMINARY WORK IS ALSO UNDERWAY TO PROVIDE TELEPSYCHIATRY SUPPORT TO THE LIFE GEISINGER DAY CENTER FOR NURSING-HOME-ELIGIBLE SENIORS IN THE SCRANTON LOCATION. AN INTEGRATED PRIMARY CARE PRACTICE AT THE GEISINGER MOUNT PLEASANT LOCATION SERVES BOTH ADULTS AND PEDS PATIENTS VIA EMBEDDED PSYCHOLOGISTS. IN ADDITION, PLANNING IS UNDERWAY TO EXPAND AND INTEGRATE ADDICTION MEDICINE FELLOWS INTO SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE WRIGHT CENTER. CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT AND PREVENTION OUR FRESH FOOD FARMACY LOCATION OPENED JULY 2019 IN SCRANTON TO HELP FOOD-INSECURE FAMILIES MANAGE AND PREVENT DIABETES AND OTHER SERIOUS HEALTH ISSUES BY PROVIDING NUTRITIOUS FOOD, FREE OF CHARGE, ALONG WITH COUNSELING AND EDUCATION. THE PROGRAM PROVIDES HEALTHY MEALS FOR PARTICIPANTS AND MEMBERS OF THEIR HOUSEHOLD AND IS DESIGNED FOR ANYONE 18 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER WHO HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES, HAS AN HBA1C HIGHER THAN 8.0% AND FINDS PAYING FOR FOOD TO BE A SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGE. WE CURRENTLY HAVE 161 PARTICIPANTS ENROLLED IN THE PROGRAM AND HAVE PROVIDED 76,475 POUNDS OF FOOD. WHEN AT CAPACITY, THIS LOCATION WILL BE ABLE TO FEED 500 PARTICIPANTS, PLUS THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS, WEEKLY. GEISINGER COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER COLLABORATES WITH THE SPRINGBOARD HEALTHY SCRANTON INITIATIVE TO IMPROVE PREVENTATIVE CARE SERVICES FOR ALL RESIDENTS. OUR FRESH FOOD FARMACY IS JUST ONE EXAMPLE OF A PROGRAM THE COLLABORATION HELPED LAUNCH. WE ALSO OPENED AN ADDICTION TREATMENT CENTER THAT USES MEDICATION-ASSISTED TREATMENT TO HELP PEOPLE BREAK FREE OF SUBSTANCE DEPENDENCY AND AN INNOVATIVE PRIMARY CARE CLINIC CALLED 65 FORWARD THAT TAILORS HEALTHCARE TO SENIORS AND OFFERS, AMONG OTHER THINGS, LONGER APPOINTMENT TIMES AND MORE PERSONALIZED CARE. WE HAVE DEPLOYED EVIDENCE-BASED COMMUNITY PROGRAMS INCLUDING DIABETES PREVENTION PROGRAMS, CHRONIC CONDITION SELF-MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS, TOO GOOD FOR DRUGS, A MATTER OF BALANCE, TOBACCO CESSATION AND OTHER PROGRAMS IN THE COMMUNITY. WE OFFER VARIOUS HEALTH AND WELLNESS COMMUNITY-BASED PROGRAMS THAT COMPLEMENT THE CLINICAL CARE PROVIDED BY THEIR MEDICAL TEAMS AS WELL AS SUPPORT NUMEROUS COMMUNITY RACES, FUN RUNS, WALKS AND OTHER EVENTS THAT PROMOTE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, INCLUDING THE SCRANTON HALF MARATHON, THE CLEAN AND SOBER FUN RUN AND THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION HEART WALK. |

THIS RULING REMOVED THE PREVIOUS REQUIREMENT OF REVENUE RULING 56-185, KNOWN AS THE "CHARITY CARE STANDARD," THAT IN ORDER TO BE A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION, A HOSPITAL HAD TO PROVIDE, TO THE EXTENT OF ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY, FREE OR REDUCED-COST CARE TO PATIENTS UNABLE TO PAY FOR THEIR CARE. THIS EARLIER RULING EMPHASIZED THAT A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE DID NOT MEAN THAT A HOSPITAL WAS CHARITABLE SINCE THAT LEVEL COULD REFLECT THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PROVIDE SUCH CARE. REVENUE RULING 56-185 ALSO NOTED THAT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED COMMUNITY HOSPITALS WOULD NORMALLY QUALIFY AS CHARITABLE BECAUSE THEY SERVE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY AND A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE WOULD NOT IMPACT A HOSPITAL'S CHARITABLE STATUS IF IT WAS DUE TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY'S LACK OF CHARITABLE DEMANDS. AS DEVELOPED IN REVENUE RULING 69-545, UNDER THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD, HOSPITALS WERE JUDGED ON WHETHER THEY PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF A BROAD CLASS OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY. THIS RULING INVOLVED A HOSPITAL THAT ONLY ADMITTED THOSE WHO COULD PAY FOR THE SERVICES EITHER BY THEMSELVES, THROUGH PRIVATE INSURANCE OR PUBLIC PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICARE. IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL OPERATED A FULL-TIME EMERGENCY ROOM THAT WAS OPEN TO EVERYONE. THE IRS RULED THAT THE HOSPITAL WAS CHARITABLE BECAUSE IT PROMOTED THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN ITS COMMUNITY. THE IRS REASONED THAT BECAUSE THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH WAS A CHARITABLE PURPOSE ACCORDING TO THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY, IT FELL WITHIN THE "GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE" OF THE TERM CHARITABLE, AS REQUIRED BY TREASURY REGULATION SECTION 1.501 (C)(3)-1(D)(2). THE IRS RULED THAT THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH, LIKE RELIEF OF POVERTY AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION AND RELIGION, IS ONE OF THE PURPOSES OF THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY THAT IS DEEMED BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE EVEN THOUGH THE CLASS OF BENEFICIARIES ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A DIRECT BENEFIT FROM ITS ACTIVITIES DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, SUCH AS INDIGENT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, PROVIDED THAT THE CLASS IS NOT SO SMALL THAT ITS RELIEF IS NOT OF BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. THE IRS CONCLUDED THAT THE HOSPITAL WAS "PROMOTING THE HEALTH OF A CLASS OF PERSONS THAT IS BROAD ENOUGH TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY" BECAUSE ITS EMERGENCY ROOM WAS OPEN TO ALL AND IT PROVIDED CARE TO THOSE WHO COULD PAY, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT. OTHER FACTORS THAT DEMONSTRATED COMMUNITY BENEFIT INCLUDED: SURPLUS FUNDS WERE USED TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE, EXPAND FACILITIES AND ADVANCE MEDICAL TRAINING, EDUCATION AND RESEARCH; AND IT WAS CONTROLLED BY A BOARD OF DIRECTORS THAT CONSISTED OF INDEPENDENT CIVIC LEADERS. THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION ("AHA") BELIEVES THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALLS) AND BAD DEBT SHOULD BE REPORTED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7. THIS ORGANIZATION AGREES WITH THE AHA'S LETTER TO THE IRS DATED AUGUST 21, 2007 RESPONDING TO A DRAFT OF THE NEW FORM 990 AND SCHEDULE H, THE AHA ARGUED THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALLS) IS COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: -PROVIDING CARE FOR THE ELDERLY AND SERVING MEDICARE PATIENTS REMAINS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD. -MEDICARE, LIKE MEDICAID, DOES NOT PAY THE FULL COST OF CARE. RECENTLY, MEDICARE REIMBURSES ONLY 92 CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR HOSPITALS SPEND TO CARE FOR MEDICARE PATIENTS. THE MEDICARE PAYMENT ADVISORY COMMISSION ("MEDPAC") IN ITS MARCH 2007 REPORT TO CONGRESS CAUTIONED THAT UNDERPAYMENT WILL GET EVEN WORSE, WITH MARGINS REACHING A 10 YEAR LOW AT NEGATIVE 5.4 PERCENT. -MANY MEDICARE PATIENTS, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE POOR. MORE THAN 46% OF MEDICARE SPENDING IS FOR BENEFICIARIES WHOSE INCOME IS BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. MANY ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID, SO CALLED -DUAL ELIGIBLES". PENNSYLVANIA REQUIRES NON-PROFIT HOSPITALS TO PROVIDE A MINIMUM LEVEL OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT TO RETAIN EXEMPTION FROM STATE AND LOCAL TAXES. ACCORDING TO STATE GUIDANCE AND CASE LAW, THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF MEDICARE AND BAD DEBT IS CONSIDERED TO BE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR STATE TAX EXEMPTION PURPOSES. PART III, LINE 6 ONLY INCLUDES THOSE COSTS THAT ARE PERMITTED TO BE REPORTED IN THE HOSPITAL'S MEDICARE COST REPORT THAT IS REQUIRED TO BE FILED WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. THE HOSPITAL CONSIDERS THE TOTAL MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) OF 33,922,709 SHOULD BE REPORTED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7. ALONG WITH PROVIDING CARE TO MEDICAID PATIENTS AND PROVIDING FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE TO OTHER LOW INCOME PATIENTS, THE IRS COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD INCLUDES THE PROVISION OF CARE TO THE ELDERLY AND MEDICARE PATIENTS. LIKE MEDICAID, MEDICARE DOES NOT PAY THE FULL COST OF PROVIDING CARE TO THESE PATIENTS, FORCING THE HOSPITAL TO USE OTHER FUNDS TO COVER THE SHORTFALL. MEDICARE SHORTFALLS MUST BE ABSORBED BY THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE ELDERLY IN OUR COMMUNITIES. THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES CARE REGARDLESS OF THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL AND IS THEREBY PROVIDING ACCESS TO MEDICAL SERVICES FOR THE ELDERLY AND RELIEVING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF THE BURDEN OF PAYING THE FULL COST FOR PROVIDING CARE TO MEDICARE PATIENTS. ABSENT THE MEDICARE PROGRAM, IT IS LIKELY THAT MANY MEDICARE PATIENTS WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY CARE OR OTHER NEED BASED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS. THE AMOUNT EXPENDED TO COVER THE SHORTFALL IS MONEY NOT AVAILABLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFIT NEEDS. BOTH THE HOSPITAL AND THE AHA BELIEVE THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT BE REPORTED AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7. LIKE MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALLS), BAD DEBT SHOULD BE REPORTED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT BECAUSE: -A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF BAD DEBT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO LOW-INCOME PATIENTS, WHO FOR MANY REASONS DECLINE TO COMPLETE THE FORMS REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH ELIGIBILITY UNDER THE HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY (FAP). A 2006 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE ("CBO"), "NONPROFIT HOSPITALS AND THE PROVISION OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT", CITED TWO STUDIES INDICATING THAT "THE GREAT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT WAS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WITH INCOMES BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE." -THE CBO REPORT ALSO NOTED THAT A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF THE BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. UNLIKE BAD DEBT IN OTHER INDUSTRIES, HOSPITAL BAD DEBT IS COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT HOSPITALS FOLLOW THEIR CHARITABLE MISSION TO THE COMMUNITY AND TREAT EVERY PATIENT THAT COMES THROUGH THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. PATIENTS WHO HAVE OUTSTANDING BILLS ARE NOT TURNED AWAY, UNLIKE OTHER INDUSTRIES. BAD DEBT IS FURTHER COMPLICATED BY THE AUDITING INDUSTRY'S STANDARDS ON REPORTING CHARITY CARE. MANY PATIENTS CANNOT OR DO NOT PROVIDE THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED TO BE DEEMED CHARITY CARE BY AUDITORS. AS A RESULT, ACCORDING TO THE CBO REPORT, ROUGHLY 40% OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. (IN FY 2020, APPROXIMATELY 11% OF THE HOSPITAL'S BAD DEBT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY RECLASSIFIED TO CHARITY CARE.) THE CBO CONCLUDED THAT ITS FINDINGS "SUPPORT THE VALIDITY OF THE USE OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE (BAD DEBT AND CHARITY CARE) AS A MEASURE OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS" ASSUMING THE FINDINGS ARE GENERALIZED NATIONALLY. THE EXPERIENCE OF HOSPITALS NATIONWIDE REINFORCE THAT THEY ARE GENERALIZABLE. AS OUTLINED BY THE AHA, DESPITE THE HOSPITAL'S BEST EFFORTS AND DUE DILIGENCE, PATIENT BAD DEBT IS A PART OF THE CHARITABLE MISSION AND CHARITABLE PURPOSES. BAD DEBT REPRESENTS PART OF THE BURDEN HOSPITALS' BEAR IN SERVING ALL PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF RACE, COLOR, CREED, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN, RELIGION OR ABILITY TO PAY. IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL INVESTS SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES IN SYSTEMS AND STAFF TRAINING TO ASSIST PATIENTS THAT ARE IN NEED OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDED 6/30/2020, |
| SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 9B | THE HOSPITAL IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING MEDICALLY NECESSARY SERVICES TO PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY AND THE HOSPITAL'S COLLECTION ACTIONS ARE CONSISTENTLY APPLIED TO ALL PATIENTS. IT IS THE HOSPITAL'S POLICY TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND COUNSELING TO PATIENTS WITH LIMITED FINANCIAL MEANS. A PATIENT MAY BECOME ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AT ANY TIME DURING TREATMENT OR DURING THE CONTINUUM OF THE FINANCIAL/BILLING AND COLLECTION PROCESS. IN ANY STAGE OF THE BILLING PROCESS, COLLECTION ACTIONS ARE NOT PURSUED WHENEVER A PATIENT APPLIES AND IS BEING EVALUATED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL THE HOSPITAL FREEZE OR ATTACH BANK ACCOUNTS OF A PATIENT, ENFORCE LIENS, ACTIVELY PURSUE ASSETS FROM A PRIOR JUDGMENT OR GARNISH THE WAGES OF A PATIENT AND/OR FAMILY MEMBER BEFORE DETERMINING IF THE PATIENT IS ELIGIBLE FOR ASSISTANCE UNDER THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. GEISINGER MANAGEMENT HAS DEVELOPED POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL COLLECTION PRACTICES THAT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, A PATIENT'S GOOD FAITH EFFORT TO APPLY FOR GOVERNMENTAL PROGRAMS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FROM GEISINGER AND A PATIENT'S GOOD FAITH EFFORT TO COMPLY HIS OR HER PAYMENT AGREEMENTS. BILLING AND COLLECTION POLICY: THE BILLING AND COLLECTION POLICY IS ADMINISTERED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MISSION AND VALUES OF THE HOSPITAL AS WELL AS FEDERAL AND STATE LAW. THE POLICY IS DESIGNED TO PROMOTE APPROPRIATE ACCESS TO MEDICAL CARE FOR ALL PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY WHILE MAINTAINING GEISINGER'S FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY TO MAXIMIZE REIMBURSEMENT AND MINIMIZE BAD DEBT. THE ORGANIZATION'S BILLING AND COLLECTION POLICY IS INTENDED TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT EACH INDIVIDUAL'S ABILITY TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE COST OF HIS OR HER CARE. THE ORGANIZATION MAKES SURE THAT PATIENTS ARE ASSISTED IN OBTAINING HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE FROM PRIVATELY AND PUBLICLY FUNDED SOURCES, WHENEVER POSSIBLE. ALL BUSINESS OFFICE CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPRESENTATIVES ARE EDUCATED ON ALL ASPECTS OF THE BILLING AND COLLECTION POLICY AND ARE EXPECTED TO ADMINISTER THE POLICY ON A REGULAR AND CONSISTENT BASIS. BUSINESS OFFICE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES ARE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO TREAT ALL PATIENTS WITH COURTESY, RESPECT, CONFIDENTIALITY AND CULTURAL SENSITIVITY. THE BILLING AND COLLECTION POLICY IS ADMINISTERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN INTERNAL ADMINISTRATIVE POLICIES. THE GEISINGER EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER AND VICE PRESIDENT, CHIEF REVENUE OFFICER HAVE OVERALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE BILLING AND COLLECTION ACTIVITIES OF THE HOSPITAL. THE BUSINESS OFFICE CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT STAFF IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAY-TO-DAY ENFORCEMENT OF APPROVED POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. GEISINGER MAY OFFER EXTENDED PAYMENT PLANS TO PATIENTS WHO ARE COOPERATING IN GOOD FAITH TO RESOLVE THEIR HOSPITAL BILLS. EMERGENCY & MEDICALLY NECESSARY SERVICES: GEISINGER DOES NOT ENGAGE IN ANY ACTIONS THAT DISCOURAGE INDIVIDUALS FROM SEEKING EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE. THE ORGANIZATION WILL NEVER DEMAND THAT AN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT PATIENT PAY BEFORE RECEIVING TREATMENT FOR EMERGENCY MEDICAL CONDITIONS. ADDITIONALLY, GEISINGER DOES NOT PERMIT DEBT COLLECTION ACTIVITIES IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT OR OTHER AREAS WHERE SUCH ACTIVITIES COULD INTERFERE WITH THE PROVISION OF EMERGENCY CARE ON A NONDISCRIMINATORY BASIS. ALL MEDICALLY NECESSARY HOSPITAL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED WITHOUT CONSIDERATION OF ABILITY TO PAY AND ARE NOT DELAYED PENDING APPLICATION OR APPROVAL OF MEDICAL ASSISTANCE OR THE GEISINGER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. ADVANCE PAYMENT IS NOT REQUIRED FOR ANY MEDICALLY NECESSARY SERVICES. COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(R)(6): GEISINGER DOES NOT ENGAGE IN ANY EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION ACTIONS ("ECAS") AS DEFINED BY INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(R)(6) PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE NOTIFICATION PERIOD. THE NOTIFICATION PERIOD IS DEFINED AS A 120-DAY PERIOD OR GREATER, WHICH BEGINS ON THE DATE OF THE 1ST POST-DISCHARGE BILLING STATEMENT, IN WHICH NO ECAS ARE INITIATED AGAINST THE PATIENT. SUBSEQUENT TO THE NOTIFICATION PERIOD GEISINGER, OR ANY THIRD PARTIES ACTING ON ITS BEHALF, MAY INITIATE THE FOLLOWING ECAS AGAINST A PATIENT FOR AN UNPAID BALANCE IF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY DETERMINATION HAS NOT BEEN MADE OR IF AN INDIVIDUAL IS INELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. GEISINGER MAY AUTHORIZE THIRD PARTIES TO REPORT ADVERSE INFORMATION ABOUT THE INDIVIDUAL TO CONSUMER CREDIT REPORTING AGENCIES OR CREDIT BUREAUS ON DELINQUENT PATIENT ACCOUNTS AFTER THE NOTIFICATION PERIOD. THE ORGANIZATION ENSURES REASONABLE EFFORTS HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO DETERMINE WHETHER AN INDIVIDUAL IS ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY AND ENSURES THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS ARE TAKEN AT LEAST 30 DAYS PRIOR TO INITIATING ANY ECA: 1) THE PATIENT IS PROVIDED WITH WRITTEN NOTICE WHICH: INDICATES THAT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE FOR ELIGIBLE PATIENTS; IDENTIFIES THE ECA(S) THAT GEISINGER INTENDS TO INITIATE TO OBTAIN PAYMENT FOR THE CARE; AND STATES A DEADLINE AFTER WHICH SUCH ECAS MAY BE INITIATED. 2) THE PATIENT IS PROVIDED WITH A COPY OF THE PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY; AND 3) REASONABLE EFFORTS ARE MADE TO ORALLY NOTIFY THE PATIENT ABOUT THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND HOW THE INDIVIDUAL MAY OBTAIN ASSISTANCE WITH THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION PROCESS. GEISINGER PROCESSES ALL APPLICATIONS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE SUBMITTED DURING THE APPLICATION PERIOD. THE APPLICATION PERIOD BEGINS ON THE DATE THE CARE IS PROVIDED AND ENDS ON THE 240TH DAY AFTER THE DATE OF THE FIRST POST-DISCHARGE BILLING STATEMENT. |
| SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 2 | THE FY2019 GEISINGER COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) WAS CONDUCTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH GEISINGER, ALLIED SERVICES INTEGRATED HEALTH SYSTEM, AND EVANGELICAL COMMUNITY HOSPITAL. THE STUDY AREA INCLUDED 19 COUNTIES ACROSS CENTRAL, NORTHEASTERN, AND SOUTH CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA WHICH REPRESENT THE COLLECTIVE SERVICE AREAS OF THE COLLABORATING HOSPITALS. TO DISTINGUISH UNIQUE SERVICE AREAS AMONG HOSPITALS AND FOSTER COOPERATION WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO IMPACT HEALTH NEEDS, REGIONAL RESEARCH AND LOCAL REPORTING WAS DEVELOPED. THE COLLABORATING HEALTH SYSTEMS AGREED THAT BY COORDINATING EFFORTS TO IDENTIFY COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ACROSS THE REGION, THE HEALTH SYSTEMS WOULD CONSERVE COMMUNITY RESOURCES WHILE DEMONSTRATING LEADERSHIP IN CONVENING LOCAL COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO ADDRESS COMMON PRIORITY NEEDS. BEST PRACTICES IN COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT DEMONSTRATE THAT FOSTERING "COLLECTIVE IMPACT" IS AMONG THE MOST SUCCESSFUL WAYS TO AFFECT THE HEALTH OF A COMMUNITY. COLLECTIVE IMPACT IS ACHIEVED BY COMMITTING A DIVERSE GROUP OF STAKEHOLDERS TOWARD A COMMON GOAL OR ACTION, PARTICULARLY TO IMPACT DEEP ROOTED SOCIAL OR HEALTH NEEDS. BY TAKING A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH TO THE CHNA, GEISINGER, ALLIED SERVICES INTEGRATED HEALTH SYSTEM, AND EVANGELICAL COMMUNITY HOSPITAL ARE LEADING THE WAY TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF COMMUNITIES IN CENTRAL, NORTHEASTERN, AND SOUTH CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA. THE FOLLOWING PAGES DESCRIBE THE PROCESS AND RESEARCH METHODS USED IN THE FY2019 CHNA AND THE FINDINGS THAT PORTRAY THE HEALTH STATUS OF THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE AND OUTLINE OPPORTUNITIES TO WORK WITH OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO ADVANCE HEALTH AMONG ALL RESIDENTS ACROSS OUR SERVICE AREAS.

| SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 4 | GEISINGER COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER PRIMARILY SERVES RESIDENTS IN 26 ZIP CODES SPANNING LACKAWANNA, PIKE, SUSQUEHANNA, WAYNE, AND WYOMING COUNTIES IN PENNSYLVANIA. THE 2017 POPULATION OF THE SERVICE AREA IS 271,202 AND IS PROJECTED TO INCREASE 0.3% BY 2022. ZIP CODE OF RESIDENCE IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PREDICTORS OF HEALTH DISPARITY; WHERE RESIDENTS LIVE MATTERS IN DETERMINING THEIR HEALTH. THE COMMUNITY NEED INDEX (CNI) WAS DEVELOPED BY DIGNITY HEALTH AND TRUVEN HEALTH ANALYTICS TO ILLUSTRATE THE POTENTIAL FOR HEALTH DISPARITY AT THE ZIP CODE LEVEL. THE CNI SCORES ZIP CODES ON A SCALE OF 1.0 (LOW NEED) TO 5.0 (HIGH NEED) BASED ON 2015 DATA INDICATORS FOR FIVE SOCIO-ECONOMIC BARRIERS: -INCOME: POVERTY AMONG ELDERLY HOUSEHOLDS, FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN, AND SINGLE FEMALE-HEADED FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN -CULTURE/LANGUAGE: MINORITY POPULATIONS AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE BARRIERS -EDUCATION: POPULATION OVER 25 YEARS WITHOUT A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA -INSURANCE COVERAGE: UNEMPLOYMENT RATE AMONG POPULATION 16 YEARS OR OVER AND POPULATION WITHOUT HEALTH INSURANCE -HOUSING STATUS: HOUSEHOLDERS RENTING THEIR HOME THE WEIGHTED AVERAGE CNI SCORE FOR GEISINGER COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER'S 26 ZIP CODE SERVICE AREA IS 2.6, INDICATING MODERATE OVERALL COMMUNITY NEED. FIVE OF THE SEVEN ZIP CODES WITH A SCORE GREATER THAN 3.0 ARE IN SCRANTON. SCRANTON IS A DESIGNATED MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREA. SCRANTON ZIP CODES HAVE THE HIGHEST CNI SCORES, INDICATING THE GREATEST COMMUNITY NEED. THE SCORES ARE HIGHEST (3.8) IN ZIP CODES 18505, 18508, 18510. ZIP CODES 18472, WAYMART, AND 18407, CARBONDALE, HAVE THE HIGHEST CNI SCORE (3.4) OUTSIDE OF SCRANTON CITY. RESIDENTS IN THE ZIP CODES HAVE HIGHER POVERTY AND/OR LOWER EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT. ZIP CODE 18472, WAYMART, ALSO HAS GREATER POPULATION DIVERSITY, BUT THE ZIP CODE IS HOME TO A STATE CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION AND A US PENITENTIARY. INCARCERATED POPULATIONS ARE HISTORICALLY DISPROPORTIONATELY DIVERSE. THE NORTHEAST REGION IS COMPRISED OF THREE COUNTIES AND IS SERVED BY FIVE OF THE CHNA COLLABORATING HOSPITALS, INCLUDING GEISINGER COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER. THE NORTHEAST REGION POPULATION IS PRIMARILY WHITE, BUT DIVERSITY IS INCREASING. THE WHITE POPULATION AS A PERCENTAGE OF THE TOTAL POPULATION IS DECLINING IN ALL COUNTIES, WHILE BLACK/AFRICAN AMERICAN AND HISPANIC/LATINO POPULATIONS ARE GROWING. THE DEMOGRAPHIC SHIFT IS A STATEWIDE TREND. MINORITY POPULATIONS ARE THE ONLY GROWING DEMOGRAPHIC IN PENNSYLVANIA. THE HISPANIC/LATINO POPULATION IS ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING DEMOGRAPHIC GROUPS; LUZERNE COUNTY IS PROJECTED TO EXPERIENCE THE GREATEST INCREASE IN THE POPULATION BY 2022. PENNSYLVANIA FARES BETTER THAN THE NATION ON MOST ECONOMIC INDICATORS. PENNSYLVANIA RESIDENTS ARE LESS LIKELY TO LIVE IN POVERTY, HAVE A SIMILAR UNEMPLOYMENT RATE AS THE NATION'S AVERAGE, AND ARE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE ATTAINED AT LEAST A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA. WITHIN THE NORTHEAST REGION, RESIDENTS IN ALL COUNTIES HAVE A LOWER MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME THAN THE STATE AND THE NATION, AND RESIDENTS IN LACKAWANNA AND LUZERNE COUNTIES HAVE HIGHER POVERTY RATES, PARTICULARLY AMONG CHILDREN. ALL THREE COUNTIES HAVE A SIMILAR UNEMPLOYMENT RATE TO THE STATE AND THE NATION, AND A SIMILAR PERCENTAGE OF RESIDENTS WHO HAVE ATTAINED LESS THAN A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA. RACIAL AND ETHNIC MINORITY GROUPS LIKE BLACK/AFRICAN AMERICAN OR HISPANIC/LATINO RESIDENTS ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE IMPACTED BY ADVERSE SOCIOECONOMIC FACTORS, INCLUDING POVERTY, UNEMPLOYMENT, OR EDUCATION ATTAINMENT. POVERTY IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST DRIVERS OF DISPARITY, PARTICULARLY IN LACKAWANNA AND LUZERNE COUNTIES. POVERTY RATES AMONG MINORITY POPULATIONS ARE DOUBLE THE RATES AMONG WHITES. SOCIOECONOMIC DISPARITY CONTRIBUTES TO WORSE HEALTH OUTCOMES. BECAUSE POPULATION COUNTS FOR MINORITY RESIDENTS ACROSS THE REGION ARE LOW, HEALTH DISPARITIES ARE PRIMARILY EVIDENCED BY STATE AND NATIONAL TRENDS. THE 2017 POPULATION OF THE NORTHEAST REGION IS 589,689. LUZERNE COUNTY COMPRISES THE LARGEST PORTION OF THE POPULATION (54%), FOLLOWED BY LACKAWANNA COUNTY (37%). COUNTY POPULATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN STABLE WITH INCREASES OR DECREASES OF APPROXIMATELY 1% BY 2022. THE NORTHEAST REGION POPULATION IS PRIMARILY WHITE, BUT INCREASINGLY DIVERSE. THE PERCENTAGE OF WHITE RESIDENTS DECREASED FROM 2010 TO 2017, AND IS PROJECTED TO DECREASE THROUGH 2022. THE PERCENTAGE OF RESIDENTS IDENTIFYING AS BLACK/AFRICAN AMERICAN AND/OR HISPANIC/LATINO IS INCREASING. CONSISTENT WITH THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE SERVICE AREA, RESIDENTS ARE MORE LIKELY TO SPEAK ENGLISH AS THEIR PRIMARY LANGUAGE WHEN COMPARED TO THE STATE AND THE NATION. PENNSYLVANIA HAS A HIGHER MEDIAN AGE THAN THE NATION. THE MEDIAN AGE OF THE NORTHEAST REGION COUNTIES EXCEEDS THE STATE. WAYNE COUNTY HAS THE HIGHEST MEDIAN AGE, EXCEEDING THE STATE MEDIAN BY 7 POINTS. ECONOMIC INDICATORS VARY ACROSS THE REGION. LACKAWANNA COUNTY MIRRORS THE NATION FOR RESIDENTS LIVING IN POVERTY, DESPITE HAVING A LOWER MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME. LUZERNE COUNTY HAS THE LOWEST MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME IN THE REGION; RESIDENTS ARE MORE LIKELY TO LIVE IN POVERTY AND RECEIVE FOOD STAMP BENEFITS. WAYNE COUNTY HAS THE HIGHEST MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME IN THE REGION; RESIDENTS ARE THE LEAST LIKELY TO LIVE IN POVERTY OR RECEIVE FOOD STAMP BENEFITS. NORTHEAST REGION COUNTIES HAVE A MORE PROMINENT BLUE COLLAR WORKFORCE AND A LOWER OR COMPARABLE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE COMPARED TO THE STATE AND THE NATION. WAYNE COUNTY HAS THE LOWEST UNEMPLOYMENT RATE AND THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF BLUE COLLAR WORKERS. HOMEOWNERSHIP IS A MEASURE OF HOUSING AFFORDABILITY AND ECONOMIC STABILITY. HOUSEHOLDERS IN ALL SERVICE COUNTIES ARE MORE LIKELY TO OWN THEIR HOME WHEN COMPARED TO THE NATION; HOUSEHOLDS IN WAYNE COUNTY ARE ALSO MORE LIKELY TO OWN THEIR HOME WHEN COMPARED TO THE STATE. WAYNE COUNTY HAS A HIGHER MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME AND HIGHER MEDIAN HOME VALUE WHEN COMPARED TO THE STATE AND THE NATION. EDUCATION IS THE LARGEST PREDICTOR OF POVERTY AND ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE MEANS OF REDUCING INEQUALITIES. ACROSS ALL COUNTIES, THE PERCENTAGE OF RESIDENTS ATTAINING LESS THAN A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA IS ON PAR WITH THE STATE AND LOWER THAN THE NATION. RESIDENTS ARE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA THAN A BACHELOR'S DEGREE OR HIGHER WHEN COMPARED TO BOTH THE STATE AND THE NATION. |

AND GEISINGER'S MYCODE COMMUNITY HEALTH INITIATIVE, THE LARGEST HEALTHCARE SYSTEM-BASED PRECISION HEALTH PROJECT IN THE WORLD, WITH NEARLY 200,000 VOLUNTEERS ENROLLED, IS CONDUCTING EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND RETURNING MEDICALLY ACTIONABLE RESULTS TO PARTICIPANTS. HISTORY. GEISINGER HAD ITS BEGINNINGS IN THE SMALL COMMUNITY OF DANVILLE, WHICH IS LOCATED IN CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA ON THE NORTHERN BRANCH OF THE SUSQUEHANNA RIVER. THERE, IN 1915, ABIGAIL A. GEISINGER FOUNDED THE GEORGE F. GEISINGER MEMORIAL HOSPITAL IN MEMORY OF HER HUSBAND. FROM THE BEGINNING, THE NEW HOSPITAL WAS DESIGNED AS A COMPREHENSIVE HEALTHCARE INSTITUTION THAT WOULD OFFER SPECIALIZED MEDICAL CARE TO PEOPLE IN THE RURAL AREAS OF CENTRAL AND NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA. UNLIKE MOST HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS, WHICH EVOLVED WITH A HOSPITAL FOCUS, GEISINGER'S HISTORY AND TRADITION IS THAT OF A PHYSICIAN-LED AND PHYSICIAN-DRIVEN HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATION. THIS TRADITION BEGAN WHEN MRS. GEISINGER BROUGHT DR. HAROLD FOSS, A MAYO CLINIC TRAINED PHYSICIAN, TO BE HER HOSPITAL'S FIRST CHIEF OF STAFF. TODAY, GEISINGER IS REGARDED AS A NATIONAL MODEL OF HEALTHCARE DELIVERY CENTERED ON A SOPHISTICATED MULTISPECIALTY GROUP PRACTICE. SINCE THE 1970S, GEISINGER'S STRATEGY OF INTEGRATING PHYSICIANS AND HOSPITALS EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THE MANAGEMENT OF HEALTH AND THE FINANCING OF HEALTHCARE SERVICES THROUGH ITS WHOLLY CONTROLLED HEALTH MAINTENANCE ORGANIZATION, GEISINGER HEALTH PLAN. TWO INDEMNITY HEALTH INSURERS, GEISINGER INDEMNITY INSURANCE COMPANY AND GEISINGER QUALITY OPTIONS, INC. HAVE BEEN ADDED IN RECENT YEARS. CORPORATE STRUCTURE. THE ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE OF THE SYSTEM REFLECTS THE STRATEGIC GOAL OF OPERATING AS A FULLY INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE SYSTEM WHOSE CORPORATE COMPONENTS SHARE THE COMMON GOALS OF MANAGING AND IMPROVING THE HEALTHCARE OF ITS PATIENTS AND MEMBERS, WHILE RECOGNIZING AND RESPECTING THE CORPORATE IDENTITY OF EACH ENTITY. THIS INTEGRATION LINKS THE AREAS OF PHYSICIANS, HOSPITALS/CLINICS, AND HEALTHCARE INSURANCE. SEE SCHEDULE R FOR A LIST OF THE AFFILIATED ORGANIZATIONS COMPRISING GEISINGER. |
