Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.Endowment funds are designated for purposes that align within this organization's exempt purpose.
Part X : FIN48 FootnoteIncome TaxesNorthern Light Health, its hospitals, and certain other affiliates have been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be tax-exempt charitable organizations as described in Section 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and, accordingly, are exempt from federal income taxes on related income pursuant to Section 501(a) of the Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for these organizations.Tax-exempt charitable organizations could be required to record an obligation for income taxes as the result of a tax position they have historically taken on various tax exposure items including unrelated business income or tax status. Under guidance issued by the FASB, assets and liabilities are established for uncertain tax positions taken or positions expected to be taken in income tax returns when such positions are judged to not meet the more-likely-than-not threshold, based upon the technical merits of the position. Estimated interest and penalties, if applicable, related to uncertain tax positions are included as a component of income tax expense. Northern Light Health has evaluated its tax position taken or expected to be taken on income tax returns and concluded the impact to be not material.Certain of Northern Light Health's affiliates are taxable entities. Deferred taxes related to these entities are based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse. The deferred tax assets and liabilities for these entities are not material.

Facility: Northern Light Blue Hill Hospi - Part V, Section B, Line 5The Maine Shared CHNA research team conducted a statewide qualitative assessment among stakeholders to identify and prioritize significant health issues in communities across the state. The assessment, coordinated with the Maine CDC, engaged public health expertise throughout the process. Community outreach was conducted between September 2018 and January 2019. Community forums with residents and service providers were held in the county. All forms of engagement included public forums and key informant interviews. The purpose of this outreach was to gather feedback on data and to identify health priorities, community assets, and gaps in resources to be used in health improvement planning. Local forums were conducted in partnership with the Maine CDC to solicit input from individuals representing populations with health disparities including medically underserved, low-income, or minority populations. The following organizations attended the October 30, 2018 Hancock County Shared CHNA Community Engagement Forum and provided valuable feedback on the Maine Shared CHNA.Persons representing broad interests of the community who were consulted during the engagement process (the following list was extracted from the Hancock County CHNA report, pages 25-26): Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Maine Collaborative, Mount Desert Island Regional School District AOS 91, Deer Isle-Stonington Central School District (CSD 13), Downeast Community Partners, Downeast Public Health District, Eastern Area Agency on Aging, Friends in Action, George Stevens Academy, Hancock County Emergency Management Agency, Healthy Acadia, Healthy Island Project, Healthy Peninsula, Hospice Volunteers of Hancock County, Island Health & Wellness Foundation, Maine CDC, Maine Community Foundation, Mount Desert Island Hospital, Next Step Domestic Violence Project, Northern Light Acadia Healthcare, Northern Light Acadia Hospital, Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital, Northern Light Health, Northern Light Home Health & Hospice, Northern Light Maine Coast Hospital, Parker Ridge Retirement Community, Peninsula Ambulance, School Union 76 (Brooklin and Sedgwick Schools), State of Maine DHHS, Maine CDC, Town of Deer Isle.Key informant interview populations identified by the Maine Shared CHNA steering committee included medically underserved and vulnerable populations to ensure their input was heard and captured included: Veterans; Tribal communities; Adults ages 65 and older who are isolated or have multiple chronic conditions; Non-English speakers, undocumented individuals, immigrants, and refugees; Deaf individuals and those with other physical disabilities; Adolescents/youth; LGBTQ; People with mental health conditions and developmental disabilities; Rural individuals; Individuals in substance use disorder recovery/substance use disorder prevention and treatment professionals.The following is a list of organizations who participated in Key Informant Interviews. No Tribal representatives were able to be interviewed. In the future we hope to include this important group of in the CHNA process: Alpha One, Androscoggin Home Healthcare + Hospice, Bingham Foundation, Cary Medical Center, Catholic Charities of Maine, Community Concepts, Community Caring Collaborative, Edmund Ervin Pediatric Center, MaineGeneral Health, Equality Maine, Family Medicine Institute, Frannie Peabody Center, Greater Portland Council of Governments, Healthy Acadia, Healthy Androscoggin, Healthy Communities of the Capitol Area, Kennebec Valley Council of Governments, Long Creek Youth Development Center, Maine Access Immigrant Network, Maine Alliance for Addiction and Recovery, Maine Alliance to Prevent Substance Abuse, Maine Chapter Multiple Sclerosis Society, Maine Council on Aging, Maine Migrant Health, Maine Seacoast Mission, Millinocket Chamber of Commerce, National Alliance on Mental Illness, Nautilus Public Health, Northern Light Maine Coast Hospital, Office of Aging and Disability Services, Penquis Community Action Agency, Portland Public Health, Seniors Plus, Sunrise Opportunities, Tri-County Mental Health Services, United Ambulance Service, Veterans Administration Maine Healthcare System, York County Community Action Corporation.
Facility: Northern Light Blue Hill Hospi - Part V, Section B, Line 6aThe Maine Shared CHNA was conducted through a collaborative effort among Maine's four largest health-care systems Central Maine Healthcare, Northern Light Health (legal name Eastern Maine Healthcare systems), MaineGeneral Health, MaineHealth and the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention, an office of the Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Northern Light Health member organizations participating in the Shared CHNA included Acadia Hospital, Blue Hill Hospital, CA Dean Hospital, Eastern Maine Medical Center, Inland Hospital, Maine Coast Hospital, Mayo Hospital, Mercy Hospital, Sebasticook Valley Hospital, and AR Gould Hospital.
Facility: Northern Light Blue Hill Hospi - Part V, Section B, Line 11The data gathered from the 2019 Shared Community Health Needs Assessment (Shared CHNA) informed Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital's Community Health Strategy (Implementation Strategy) developed with input from community stakeholders including those who serve priority populations, the local Public Health District Liaison, local business leaders, and community advocates. Priorities were selected after weighing the severity of each priority area, availability of known and effective interventions, determination that the priority area was un-addressed or under-addressed, and community collaborations underway with Blue Hill Hospital. A hospital task force considered the data and identified areas of significant need including priority concerns, intended actions to address the need, programs and resource allocation, planned collaborations, and population of focus. The implementation strategy was presented and adopted by the Hospital's board of directors. Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital identified three priority areas of focus addressing the significant needs identified in its 2019 CHNA as follows:Social Determinants of HealthActions taken by Blue Hill Hospital to address this priority in FY20: Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital participated on a Northern Light Health systemwide Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) workgroup responsible for developing, implementing, and monitoring the effectiveness of a system approach to SDOH screening and intervention inclusive of food security and other social needs. To date, the workgroups focus has been on the identification of the SDOH screening and referral process, local resource development, provider training and education requirements for the screening tool's implementation, quality review and management of these efforts. Northern Light Health defined SDOH screening and intervention as a strategic priority to improve the health of the patients it serves.Substance UseActions taken by Blue Hill Hospital to address this priority in FY20: Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital was able to increase the availability of Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) options for opioid use in the local communities. This program allows for patients to obtain rapid access into MAT for Substance Use Disorders. Initially, primary care providers were the first to qualify and implement MAT, Blue Hill Hospital has now expanded the focus to include Emergency Department providers which enables the organization to reach more of those who need assistance.Access to CareActions taken by Blue Hill Hospital to address this priority in FY20: Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital deployed various strategies to enhance patient care services through collaboration with various community paramedicine partners. External community partner work engaged Emergency and Inpatient nursing leadership, social work and discharge planning, lab director, and registered nurses from all primary care locations to develop workflows for identifying patients, making referrals, communicating results, and coordinating with community resources. Program education and availability was communicated to local and external stakeholders.Additional information related to actions taken by Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital on the above priorities can be found in their FY20 Progress Report to Our Community at https://northernlighthealth.org/2019-Community-Health-Strategy. Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital considered all priorities identified in the Shared CHNA, as well as other sources, through an extensive review process. While the full spectrum of needs is important, Blue Hill Hospital is currently poised to focus only on the highest priorities at this time. A number of priorities not selected, due to a variety of reasons are listed below: Mental Health - Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital has operationalized numerous mental health protocols in many our practices. Including, but not limited to the use of telepsychiatry services and licensed clinical social workers (LCSW) within our primary care sites, routine screenings for depression and suicide risk assessments with associated action plans for patients positively screened, LACE scores (identifies patients that are at risk for readmission or death within thirty days of discharge) across inpatient and outpatient sites of care include behavioral health diagnoses which are then flagged to primary care nurse care managers, a medical social worker who covers both primary care and inpatient settings, and an embedded LCSW who provides services to our local high school. In addition, our Access to Care priority plans will augment mental health access. Therefore, due to our current and ongoing engagement in a number of mental health initiatives, we have chosen to focus our efforts on other priority areas of need. Older Adult Health/Healthy Aging - Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital is currently engaged in numerous Elder Health and Healthy Aging initiatives in our community inclusive of the following initiatives, with whom we collaborate with Healthy Peninsula (HP), a local not for profit agency focused on community health needs such as Age-Friendly Coastal Communities Collaborative, Choices That Matter (re: Advance Care Planning, end of-life issues), food insecurity, healthy eating (lunches, Magic Food Bus, etc.), and Catalyzing Rural Healthcare Transformation (MEHAF grant focused on Community Paramedicine). Blue Hill Heritage Trust is also actively addressing Age Friendly Access to exercise and nature in our community through accessible trails in the community, Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital participates in planning and supporting this work. We also provide ongoing cancer screening and chronic disease screening through our Accountable Care Organization and population health activities in primary care; and the Northern Light Palliative Care service line available now in Hancock County. In addition, our Access to Care and Social Determinants of Health priority plans will augment this priority area. Therefore, due to our current and ongoing collaborative work and initiatives focused on elder health and healthy aging, we have chosen to focus our efforts on other priority areas of need.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services DescriptionOTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Medicare shortfalls (at cost)18,019 persons served. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Please see the following excerpt from the Northern Light Health Annual Report 2020 to the Community for details of community benefit projects at NLH members:HEROES AMONG US Healthcare Heroes As we reflect on 2020, people around the world would do well to remember these words by Nelson Mandela, Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again. We faced a global pandemic that took the lives of more than 500,000 of our fellow Americans and more than 2.5 million people worldwide and counting. We also faced deadly wildfires and hurricanes, racial unrest, and a country divided by politics. But during this turbulent time, we also saw the very best in people, including those whom we work alongside every day to deliver compassionate healthcare to the people of Maine. We saw our colleagues rise to the challenges of an unprecedented global pandemic, show courage in the face of adversity, and make selfless sacrifices to heal the sick and protect our communities. These people are heroes. They are the front line workers who provided direct patient care to those who became infected with coronavirus. They are also the people who worked behind the scenes to ensure our staff had the personal protective equipment and telehealth technology they needed to continue to provide care safely. They are the support staff that cleaned and disinfected rooms, prepared meals, and countless other tasks to support our direct care workers. In this years annual report, we celebrate these heroes. They may not have flashy costumes or superpowers like the comic book heroes or those in Hollywood films. But like those heroes, they must don masks as they face a genuine and dangerous enemy. In the pages of this years annual report, you will learn more about who they are and what they do. We will take you behind their masks to discover the true identity of the heroes among us. Timothy J. Dentry, MBA President & CEO Kathy Corey Northern Light Health, Board Chair HEROES ON THE FRONT LINES When it comes to caring for sick patients, Northern Light Healths front line staff put themselves at risk to provide exceptional care. We know they are brave and compassionate people, but COVID-19 has shown how far they are willing to go to help others. The following are a few of the many examples of courage and caring that we witnessed during this global pandemic. Cathy Bean, RNManager of Clinical and Community Health Services Northern Light Home Care & Hospice In late March, Portland saw a spike in the population of homeless people who were getting sick with COVID-19. To help protect the citys homeless residents, city leaders immediately opened the Portland Expo as an alternative shelter site that would allow them to maintain their shelter capacity while adhering to the Centers for Disease Controls (CDC) social distancing guidelines. But how would they separate the healthy population from those with the virus? Cathy Bean, RN stepped up to help. Donning protective gear, she and her staff went into the shelters daily to screen and test the residents. Northern Light Home Care & Hospice also equipped the city of Portland with a telehealth system so home care nurses could provide follow up appointments. As a result, they were able to help shelter residents with other medical conditions that may have been missed. Many of these people, due to COVID-19, were in quarantine, and meals brought outside their door with no one able to check on them. Now, we could get in there and take care of these people, and thats been very rewarding. Cathy Bean, RNElizabeth Bigler, RN Emergency Department Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital Elizabeth Bigler, RN thinks the most significant change to her job since COVID-19 is how much more physically exhausting it has become. She must often wear respirators, hoods, and other personal protective equipment, which can get quite hot and stuffy during a shift in the Emergency Department. Her biggest concern is making sure she doesnt bring this virus into her home. Its why she enters through a basement door, places her clothing directly into the wash, and showers before interacting with her family. My daughter who is eight is a sensitive, insightful soul. And shes had a lot of fears about me getting sick, not being able to see me if I did get sick, or me not coming home. Her daughter wrote her a touching letter one morning, telling her to be safe and that she loved her. Shes a really strong little girl. I had to tell her that this is a community effort. I cant not go because its scary. Some people still need help, and our job as community members is to help them. Elizabeth Bigler, RNJames Jarvis, MDSenior Physician ExecutiveIncident Command, Northern Light Health When Northern Light Health knew COVID-19 would arrive in Maine, James Jarvis, MD was chosen to coordinate the systems response among its member hospitals in addition to coordinating with state and local governments and the other major healthcare systems in Maine. Another unexpected role that Dr. Jarvis fulfilled during the pandemic was to be the primary spokesperson for Northern Light Health for weekly statewide news conferences via Zoom. Several times a week he would convey critical information to members of the media and our communities. One of the pleasant surprises Ive had during this time was somebody randomly driving by, lowering their window, and saying, Dr. Jarvis, how are you doing? You always ask how were doing through TV, we want to make sure youre okay. I teared up a little because, sure its neat to be recognized, but it was that sense of community that Mainers have to say, we need to make sure youre okay because we appreciate what youre doing. James Jarvis, MDCaroline Joyce, PACNorthern Light Primary Care Northern Light CA Dean Hospital Caroline Joyce loves the outdoors and dreams of retiring in a small rural community where hiking, fishing, and camping abound. She and her husband built their retirement home in Greenville, and she took a job at Northern Light CA Dean Hospital in September of 2019. Little did she realize how good her timing was to move to a rural community before the outbreak of COVID-19. As a primary and acute care provider, she willingly staffed the drive-up screening tent outside CA Dean. She endured wind and rain and snow to screen patients. And, she did all this while her mother, living in a nursing home in another state, was diagnosed with COVID-19. Luckily, my mom experienced mild symptoms, and while I wanted to see her, she was in an area of Massachusetts that was really hit hard by the coronavirus, and I was here seeing patients. I couldnt risk exposing them or my family. Caroline Joyce, PACSue-Anne Hammond, DOMedical Director of Primary CareNorthern Light Mercy Hospital For Dr. Hammond, COVID-19 became personal very quickly as one of her long-time patients, with whom shed experienced many ups and downs, was among the first in Maine to die of the deadly coronavirus. It was a curve ball, and it felt so unfair, she said. Dr. Hammond was instrumental in setting up the COVID-19 response plan for Northern Light Mercy Hospital, which became a model shared with other Northern Light Health hospitals across the state. The drive-up swab and go tent at Mercys Fore River campus allowed people to safely and easily get tested for the coronavirus. The plan also included a respiratory tent site in Westbrook to assess whether people with symptoms needed to be admitted to the emergency department or sent home with care instructions. And it included a virtual clinic to keep patients out of hospital and primary care settings through telehealth for follow-up appointments. She worked seven days a week while her children were being schooled at home. She and her husband, also a front line provider, tried to allay their familys fears and correct misinformation in their communities. On the hardest days I still love what I do. I dont feel like Im a hero; Im doing what was asked of me and what I chose to do as a doctor. This is a hard time, but I dont think I want to be anywhere else in the middle of all of this. Sue-Anne Hammond, DO OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Jodi Kierstead, RNNurse Manager, Specialty ICU Northern Light AR Gould Hospital As a nurse manager, Jodis Kiersteads world radically changed when COVID-19 showed up in Maine. She went from managing budgets and staff training to suddenly responding to a pandemic. She enjoyed watching her staff pull together. Youre taking a bunch of people out of their comfort zone and putting them through huge changes and for them to do it with a smile it was amazing! And Jodi did her part to help too. As Northern Light Mercy Hospital in Portland was becoming inundated with patients, they put out a call for additional staff to help. Not only did Jodi travel to Portland and support her colleagues, despite having a 10-month-
