PART I, LINE 6A:ECU Health prepares the community benefit report. The numeric data in this report is based on the form 990, Schedule H criteria.
PART I, LINE 7, FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND CERTAIN OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS:COSTS WERE CALCULATED USING THE ESTIMATED COST TO CHARGE RATIO FROM THE NORTH CAROLINA HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION'S ADVOCACY NEEDS DATA INITIATIVE WHICH IS THE STANDARD FOR REPORTING COMMUNITY BENEFITS IN NORTH CAROLINA. DURING MARCH 2023, THE HEALTHCARE ACCESS AND STABILIZATION PROGRAM (HASP) WAS ENACTED BY THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA AND IS A FEDERALLY FUNDED PROGRAM THROUGH THE CENTER FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES (CMS) TO ENHANCE MEDICAID REIMBURSEMENT. HASP WAS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO STRENGTHEN VULNERABLE RURAL HOSPITALS, SUCH AS THOSE IN THE ECU HEALTH SYSTEM, AND PROVIDE THEM FINANCIAL STABILITY TO CARE FOR ALL MEMBERS OF THEIR COMMUNITY. DURING SEPTEMBER 2023, CMS APPROVED HASP AND THE INCREASED REIMBURSEMENTS TO BE MADE FOR SERVICES PROVIDED FOR THE PERIOD JULY 1, 2023 TO JUNE 30, 2025. FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024, ECU HEALTH RECOGNIZED $261.7 MILLION AS NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE, NET OF ASSESSMENTS OF APPROXIMATELY $86.3 MILLION. INCLUDED IN THESE 2024 HASP REVENUE IS 3 MONTHS RELATED TO THE 2023 FISCAL YEAR TOTALING $42.1 MILLION, NET OF ASSESSMENTS. THE HASP PROGRAM BRINGS REIMBURSEMENTS IN LINE MORE CLOSELY WITH THE ACTUAL COST OF CARE, HELPING TO STABILIZE OUR HEALTHCARE SAFETY NET. THESE FUNDS PLAY A CRITICAL ROLE IN ALLOWING ECU HEALTH TO FULFIL ITS COMMITMENT TO THE CARE AND WELL-BEING OF THE PATIENTS WE SERVE AND ALLOWS US TO FOCUS ON PROVIDING SAFE, HIGH-QUALITY CARE TO ALL, REGARDLESS OF A PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY. MEDICAID EXPANSION BROUGHT HEALTHCARE COVERAGE TO APPROX 34,000 IN OUR ECU HEALTH SERVICE AREA WHO WERE PREVIOUSLY UNINSURED, THEREBY IMPROVING HEALTH OUTCOMES AND FINANCIAL SECURITY FOR MANY FAMILIES. GOING FORWARD, HASP PAYMENTS, AND A HIGHER HOSPITAL TAX, ALSO HAS A NEW REQUIREMENT THAT HOSPITALS AGREE TO A MEDICAL DEBT INCENTIVE PROGRAM. HOSPITALS ARE NOT RECEIVING NEW MONEY TO IMPLEMENT THE MEDICAL DEBT MITIGATION PLAN, RATHER, HOSPITALS LIKE ECU HEALTH ARE RECEIVING THE FULL AMOUNT OF REIMBURSEMENT OWED TO THEM BY PARTICIPATING IN THE PLAN. MEDICAL DEBT IS A COMPLEX ISSUE AND CAN NOT BE SOLVED SOLELY BY HOSPITALS AND HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS. THERE IS SIGNIFICANT WORK TO BE DONE TO DEVELOP FINANCIALLY SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS TO ADDRESS MEDICAL DEBT THAT INCLUDES HEALTH INSURANCE PLANS, PROVIDERS, EMPLOYERS, BUSINESS LEADERS AND GOVERNMENT PARTNERS. Most people struggling with medical debt are insured. No matter how generous, hospital financial assistance will never be a substitute for a health insurance plan that covers preventive and necessary care at an affordable price on the front and back end of coverage. ECU HEALTH provides high-quality care for everyone who walks through our doors, regardless of their ability to pay. Inability to pay for services should not deter anyone from seeking needed medical care. That is why ECU Health has developed and committed to principles and guidelines for assisting uninsured patients, as well as underinsured patients, and guidelines for debt collection, that provide significant patient assistance and protection. ECU HEALTH is committed to helping patients plan for medical bills by offering financial counseling and financial assistance programs and work hard to inform patients about the financial assistance policies. In 2024, ECU Health provided $54.0 million in charity care and forgave $33.7 million in bad debt.

PART VI, LINE 6:OUR MISSION AT ECU HEALTH IS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA. OUR VISION IS TO BECOME THE NATIONAL MODEL FOR RURAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS BY CREATING A PREMIER, TRUSTED HEALTH CARE DELIVERY SYSTEM WHILE REMAINING TRUE TO OUR VALUES OF INTEGRITY, COMPASSION, EDUCATION, ACCOUNTABILITY, SAFETY AND TEAMWORK. OUR OPERATIONAL IMPERATIVES DRIVE ECU HEALTH PERFORMANCE AND OUTCOMES. THESE IMPERATIVES ARE EXPERIENCE, FINANCE, QUALITY, WELL-BEING, EQUITY & INCLUSION. WE KEEP PATIENTS, FAMILIES, TEAM MEMBERS AND COMMUNITIES AT THE CENTER OF EVERYTHING THAT WE DO. WE ARE MANAGING LIVES THROUGH A MODERN DELIVERY SYSTEM OF HEALTH CARE IN AN ACADEMIC AND RURAL SETTING TO DELIVERY SAFE, HIGHLY RELIABLE HUMAN CENTERED CARE. ECU HEALTH IS A NORTH CAROLINA NON-PROFIT CORPORATION WITH HEADQUARTERS IN GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA. ECU HEALTH AND ITS AFFILIATES OPERATE AN INTEGRATED HEALTH CARE DELIVERY SYSTEM THAT SERVES A TOTAL MARKET OF APPROXIMATELY 1.4 MILLION PEOPLE IN 29 CONTIGUOUS COUNTIES IN EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA. THE HEALTH SYSTEM INCLUDES HOSPITALS, PHYSICIAN PRACTICES, OUTPATIENT SERVICES, HOME HEALTH, HOSPICE, AND WELLNESS SERVICES. THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S OWNED HOSPITALS ARE ECU HEALTH MEDICAL CENTER, WHICH IS A TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL AND AN ACADEMIC MEDICAL CENTER, THAT INCLUDES THE ECU HEALTH BEAUFORT HOSPITAL AS A DEPARTMENT OPERATING AS A CAMPUS OF ECU HEALTH MEDICAL CENTER AND SEVEN OTHER ACUTE CARE HOSPITALS: ECU HEALTH ROANOKE-CHOWAN HOSPITAL, ECU HEALTH EDGECOMBE HOSPITAL, ECU HEALTH CHOWAN HOSPITAL, ECU HEALTH BERTIE HOSPITAL, ECU HEALTH DUPLIN HOSPITAL, ECU HEALTH NORTH HOSPITAL, AND THE OUTER BANKS HOSPITAL. ECU HEALTH MEDICAL CENTER SERVES AS THE TEACHING HOSPITAL FOR THE BRODY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE, EAST CAROLINA SCHOOLS OF NURSING AND ALLIED HEALTH, PITT COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND BEAUFORT COMMUNITY COLLEGE. THE SYSTEM ALSO SERVES AS A REGIONAL REFERRAL CENTER FOR EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA. IN OUR RURAL HEALTH CARE SETTING, WE ARE FACED WITH UNIQUE CHALLENGES. ONE OF THE CHALLENGES IS ACCESS TO CARE. FACTORS INFLUENCING ACCESS INCLUDE PATIENT FACTORS SUCH AS TRANSPORTATION NEEDS AS WELL AS PROVIDER AND STAFFING SHORTAGES. SHORTAGES IN STAFFING INFLATE THE COST OF PROVIDING CARE THROUGH THE USE OF LOCCUM AND TEMPORARY LABOR AND CAUSE ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL STRAINS RELATED TO THE HIGH PERCENTAGE OF GOVERNMENT PAYORS AS WELL AS THE UNINSURED POPULATION IN OUR REGION. MANY COUNTIES IN WHICH ECU HEALTH OPERATES ARE DESIGNATED AS HEALTH PROFESSIONAL SHORTAGE AREA (HPSA). AS A RESULT, OUR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS BECOME A PRIMARY CARE ACCESS POINT AND CAUSE OVERLOAD ON THE SYSTEM WHICH RESULT IN CAPACITY CONSTRAINTS FOR BEDS NEEDED FOR ADMISSIONS AND BOARDERS WAITING FOR TRANSFERS TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH FACILITIES. ECU HEALTH HAS MADE A CONSCIOUS DECISION TO PROVIDE CERTAIN SERVICES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMMUNITY ALTHOUGH VOLUMES ARE NOT LARGE ENOUGH TO GENERATE A PROFIT. ONE EXAMPLE OF THESE SERVICES ARE OB SERVICES WHERE LESS THAN 1 BABY IS BORN A DAY IN SOME OF OUR REGIONAL HOSPITALS; HOWEVER, DUE TO OUR RURAL NATURE WE BELIEVE IT WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO OUR COMMUNITY TO NOT MAINTAIN THESE SERVICES. ECU HEALTH IS CONTINUOUSLY COLLABORATING ON WAYS TO INCREASE ACCESS SUCH AS THROUGH USE OF TELEMEDICINE TO PROVIDE HIGH LEVEL CARE TO OUR REGIONAL HOSPITALS BY USING RESOURCED AT OUR ACADEMIC MEDICAL CENTER TO KEEP PATIENTS CLOSE TO HOME WHEN POSSIBLE.

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A:OVERVIEW OF UNIVERSITY HEALTH SYSTEMS OF EASTERN CAROLINA: OUR MISSION AT ECU HEALTH IS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA. OUR MISSION, VISION AND VALUES CONTINUE TO LEAD US ON A VOYAGE TO EXCELLENCE. BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WE TAKE CARE OF ARE OUR NEIGHBORS, FRIENDS AND FAMILY THEY DESERVE THE BEST. ECU HEALTH IS A NORTH CAROLINA NON-PROFIT CORPORATION WITH HEADQUARTERS IN GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA. ECU HEALTH AND ITS AFFILIATES OPERATE AN INTEGRATED HEALTH CARE DELIVERY SYSTEM THAT SERVES A TOTAL MARKET OF APPROXIMATELY 1.4 MILLION PEOPLE IN 29 CONTIGUOUS COUNTIES IN EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA. THE HEALTH SYSTEM INCLUDES HOSPITALS, PHYSICIAN PRACTICES, OUTPATIENT SERVICES, HOME HEALTH, HOSPICE, AND WELLNESS SERVICES. THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S OWNED HOSPITALS ARE ECU HEALTH MEDICAL CENTER, WHICH IS A TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL AND AN ACADEMIC MEDICAL CENTER, THAT INCLUDES THE ECU HEALTH BEAUFORT HOSPITAL AS A DEPARTMENT OPERATING AS A CAMPUS OF ECU HEALTH MEDICAL CENTER AND SEVEN OTHER ACUTE CARE HOSPITALS: ECU HEALTH ROANOKE-CHOWAN HOSPITAL, ECU HEALTH EDGECOMBE HOSPITAL, ECU HEALTH CHOWAN HOSPITAL, ECU HEALTH BERTIE HOSPITAL, ECU HEALTH DUPLIN HOSPITAL, ECU HEALTH NORTH HOSPITAL, AND THE OUTER BANKS HOSPITAL. ECU HEALTH MEDICAL CENTER SERVES AS THE TEACHING HOSPITAL FOR THE BRODY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE, EAST CAROLINA SCHOOLS OF NURSING AND ALLIED HEALTH, PITT COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND BEAUFORT COMMUNITY COLLEGE. THE SYSTEM ALSO SERVES AS A REGIONAL REFERRAL CENTER FOR EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA. THE SYSTEM'S NINE OWNED HOSPITALS ARE LICENSED TO OPERATE 1,708 BEDS. EACH HOSPITAL IS LICENSED BY THE DIVISION OF FACILITY SERVICES OF THE NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AND APPROVED AS A PROVIDER BY THE MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PROGRAMS. ECU HEALTH AND ITS HOSPITALS AND AFFILIATE ORGANIZATIONS PROVIDE SERVICES TO PATIENTS WITHOUT REGARD TO THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. IN FISCAL YEAR 2024 ECU HEALTH'S COMBINED PATIENT CARE STATISTICS WERE: INPATIENT ADMISSIONS, 68,152; INPATIENT DAYS OF CARE, 385,435; SURGERIES, 56,012; BIRTHS, 6,690; AND OUTPATIENT VISITS, 450,414. OUR SYSTEM'S WORKFORCE INCLUDED 13,090 EMPLOYEES. EACH OF ECU HEALTH'S HOSPITALS OPERATES AN EMERGENCY ROOM, WHICH IS OPEN 24 HOURS A DAY. ECU HEALTH MEDICAL CENTER ALSO OFFERS A FULL SPECTRUM OF TRAUMA SERVICES. EMERGENCY AND TRAUMA SERVICES ARE PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WITHOUT REGARD TO THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. IN FISCAL YEAR 2024 ECU HEALTH PROVIDED CARE TO 274,505 EMERGENCY ROOM PATIENTS. ECU HEALTH'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS CONSISTS OF 11 VOTING MEMBERS, SIX OF WHOM MUST BE CURRENT OR FORMER PITT COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA APPOINTEES OF ECU HEALTH MEDICAL CENTER'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND FIVE OF WHOM MUST BE CURRENT OR FORMER BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA APPOINTEES OF ECU HEALTH MEDICAL CENTER'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES. ECU HEALTH MEDICAL CENTER, IN AFFILIATION WITH THE BRODY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE, WHICH IS OWNED BY THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA, OPERATES 30 RESIDENT-TRAINING PROGRAMS WITH OVER 400 MEDICAL RESIDENTS. THIS RELATIONSHIP ENABLES ECU HEALTH MEDICAL CENTER AND THE BRODY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE TO COMBINE THEIR RESOURCES FOR THE PROVISION OF QUALITY PATIENT CARE, MEDICAL EDUCATION AND RESEARCH FOR THE RESIDENTS OF EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA. THE BRODY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE HAS THREE IMPORTANT GOALS: EDUCATING PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS, MAKING MEDICAL CARE MORE READILY AVAILABLE TO THE PEOPLE OF EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA, AND PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES TO MINORITY AND DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS. AS A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION, ECU HEALTH REINVESTS ALL EXCESS OF REVENUES OVER EXPENSES IN PROGRAMS, SERVICES, AND FACILITIES THAT PROVIDE ACCESS TO PATIENT CARE AND HEALTH SERVICES TO THE CITIZENS OF EASTERN CAROLINA. OVERVIEW OF ECU HEALTH COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS 1. EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA IS COMPRISED OF 1.4 MILLION PEOPLE LIVING IN 14,000 SQUARE MILES. BOUNDARIES ARE FROM I-95 EAST TO THE COAST, AND FROM THE VIRGINIA LINE DOWN TO AND INCLUDING ONSLOW COUNTY. THE AREA IS LARGELY RURAL AND LARGELY POOR, WITH HIGHER THAN STATE OR NATIONAL AVERAGE RATES FOR POVERTY AND UNINSURED. HEALTH STATUS INDICATORS SHOW INCREASED INCIDENCE OF DISEASE IN THE REGION, ESPECIALLY CANCER, HEART DISEASE AND STROKE. ECU HEALTH DETERMINES PRIORITIES FOR TARGET POPULATIONS BY WORKING IN CONCERT WITH MEDICAL AND COMMUNITY AGENCY PARTNERS IN ONGOING ASSESSMENT OF THE MOST PRESSING HEALTH CARE NEEDS. MANY EFFORTS OVER THE PAST DECADE HAVE FOCUSED ON DIABETES, PEDIATRIC ASTHMA, SCHOOL HEALTH, INJURY PREVENTION, ACCESS TO CARE, NUTRITION ENHANCEMENT, PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES AND CHRONIC DISEASE SCREENINGS. ALSO, SPECIAL PROGRAMS TO MANAGE THE CARE OF MEDICAID ENROLLEES, ADDRESS ACCESS TO BOTH MEDICAL CARE AND MEDICATIONS FOR THE UNINSURED, AND COORDINATION OF SERVICES FOR CHILDREN WITH OBESITY HAVE BEEN UNDERTAKEN. THE POPULATIONS THAT ARE SERVED BY ADDRESSING THESE ISSUES ARE LARGELY THE POOR, THE UNDERSERVED, AND MINORITIES. DETERMINATION OF SPECIFIC POPULATIONS TO ADDRESS OCCURS WHEN PARTNERS SUCH AS THE NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, COUNTY COALITIONS, TASK FORCES, AND PHYSICIANS IDENTIFY A QUANTIFIABLE NEED, AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS ARE ENGAGED TO WORK TOGETHER WITH THE HEALTH SYSTEM. 2. FUNDING FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH PROGRAMS IS OBTAINED FROM BOTH THE OPERATING FUNDS OF ECU HEALTH ENTITIES AND EXTERNAL GRANT-AWARDING ORGANIZATIONS. THE ECU HEALTH BOARD ANNUALLY PROVIDES FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT INITIATIVES PROGRAM BASED WITHIN EACH ECU HEALTH HOSPITAL. FUNDS ARE AWARDED TO COMMUNITY AGENCIES THAT SUCCESSFULLY DEMONSTRATE BOTH NEED AND A WELL-DESIGNED PLAN TO ADDRESS ONE OF THE HEALTH PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED IN THE COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT PROCESS. THESE FUNDS ARE THEN AWARDED TO COMMUNITY AGENCIES THAT SUCCESSFULLY DEMONSTRATE BOTH NEED AND A WELL-DESIGNED PLAN TO ADDRESS ONE OF THE FOUNDATION'S PRIORITY CATEGORIES. IN ADDITION, EACH ECU HEALTH HOSPITAL FINANCIALLY SUPPORTS COMMUNITY HEALTH RESOURCES WITHIN ITS OPERATING BUDGET. PROGRAMS VARY ACCORDING TO THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ABILITY AND COMMUNITY NEED, BUT ALL INCLUDE COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS WITH LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, INCLUDING HEALTH SCREENINGS AND EDUCATION TO TARGETED POPULATIONS. ECU HEALTH ALSO HAS A SUCCESSFUL TRACK RECORD OF OBTAINING COMMUNITY HEALTH PROGRAM SUPPORT FROM EXTERNAL AGENCIES THAT AWARD GRANT FUNDING TO APPROVE PROJECTS. THE ECU HEALTH GRANTS OFFICE WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2008 AND SERVES AS THE CENTRAL POINT FOR GRANT MINING, ACQUISITION AND MANAGEMENT OF GRANTS AWARDED TO ECU HEALTH HOSPITALS FOR COMMUNITY-BASED PROGRAMS. GRANT FUNDS ARE UTILIZED TO DEMONSTRATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF A PROPOSED COMMUNITY PROGRAM, MEASURE THE OUTCOMES ACHIEVED, AND GARNER LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY FROM EITHER THE HEALTH SYSTEM, OTHER COMMUNITY AGENCIES OR AS A COLLABORATIVE PROGRAM. MANY COMMUNITY HEALTH PROGRAMS ARE COLLABORATIVE IN NATURE WITH LOCAL SERVICE AGENCIES, AND OFTEN A PORTION OF THE GRANT FUNDS ARE USED TO SUPPORT RESOURCES OR SERVICES IN THESE AGENCIES 3. COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES ARE DETERMINED FOLLOWING THE COMPLETION OF A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT EVERY THREE YEARS. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT INCLUDES INPUT FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS RECEIVED THROUGH COMMUNITY SURVEYS AND FOCUS GROUP DISCUSSIONS, AS WELL AS A REVIEW OF SECONDARY HEALTH DATA. COMMUNITY ALLIANCES, PARTNERS AND ORGANIZATIONS, INCLUDING LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, PARTICIPATE IN THIS REVIEW. A LIST OF THE MOST PRESSING HEALTH ISSUES ARE COMPILED FOR EACH COMMUNITY AND THEN PRIORITIZED FOLLOWING AN ASSESSMENT OF CURRENT HEALTH RESOURCES TO ADDRESS THE IDENTIFIED HEALTH ISSUES. ESTABLISHED RESOURCES/COALITIONS AND NEW PARTNERSHIPS ARE FORMED TO ADDRESS THE IDENTIFIED HEALTH PRIORITIES 4. COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES ARE ALSO ESTABLISHED IN RESPONSE TO A COMPELLING NEED IDENTIFIED BY HEALTH PRACTITIONERS OR COMMUNITY GROUPS. ECU HEALTH IS FORTUNATE TO HAVE A STRONG COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIP WITH EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY AND WORKS CLOSELY WITH THE SCHOOLS WITHIN THE HEALTH SCIENCES DIVISION, ESPECIALLY THE BRODY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A (CONTINUATION):PROVIDED BELOW ARE A FEW HIGHLIGHTS OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND EDUCATION ACTIVITIES: COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SERVICES: COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SERVICES ARE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT MEET AN IDENTIFIED NEED AND ARE OFFERED TO THE COMMUNITY AT LITTLE OR NO CHARGE. ECU HEALTH HOSPITALS SPONSOR PROGRAMS THAT IMPROVE ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE FOR THE UNDERSERVED AND ENHANCE THE IDENTIFICATION AND MANAGEMENT OF CHRONIC DISEASES, SUCH AS CANCER, DIABETES AND HEART DISEASE. HERE ARE A FEW EXAMPLES OF THESE PROGRAMS: - MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS FOR UNINSURED PATIENTS - SUPPORT FOR COMMUNITY COALITIONS FOCUSED ON HEALTH - SUPPORT OF LOCAL FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER - SUPPORT FOR HEALTHY NEIGHBORS FAITH HEALTH PARTNERSHIP - SUPPORT FOR SCHOOL HEALTH PARTNERSHIP HEALTH PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION: PREPARING FUTURE HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS IS IMPORTANT TO US. OUR HOSPITALS PROVIDE CLINICAL SETTINGS FOR STUDENTS OF HEALTH PROFESSIONS, SUCH AS FUTURE PHYSICIANS, NURSES AND OTHER ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS. WE ALSO SUPPORT STUDENTS THROUGH DEFERRED FORGIVABLE LOANS AND INTERNSHIPS INCLUDING RESIDENT TRAINING, NURSING CLINIC SITES, ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF NURSING PROGRAMS. RESEARCH: EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY (ECU) CONDUCTS RESEARCH TO EVALUATE NEW TREATMENTS AND PROTOCOLS. THESE STUDIES HELP HEALTH PROFESSIONALS EVERYWHERE PROVIDE QUALITY CARE TO PATIENTS. ECU HEALTH SUPPORTS THIS THROUGH VARIOUS MEANS INCLUDING SUPPORTING THE INSTITUTIONAL REVIEW BOARD AT ECU AND PROVIDING STUDY SITES. FINANCIAL AND IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS: ECU HEALTH DONATES MONEY AND IN-KIND SERVICES TO COMMUNITY GROUPS AND ACTIVITIES THAT SHARE OUR MISSION OF IMPROVING HEALTH. THEY INCLUDE MEALS ON WHEELS, THE BLOOD CONNECTION BLOOD DRIVES, MEDICAL SUPPLIES TO EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES, FREE MEDICATIONS TO QUALIFYING PATIENTS, AND LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY COLLEGE ALLIED HEALTH PROGRAMS. ECU HEALTH HOSPITALS ARE KEY PARTNERS IN FUNDRAISING FOR ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS THE UNITED WAY, AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION, AND THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY. COMMUNITY BUILDING: COMMUNITY-BUILDING ACTIVITIES INCLUDE PROGRAMS THAT ARE NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO HEALTH CARE BUT ADDRESS UNDERLYING ISSUES THAT IMPACT THE HEALTH OF COMMUNITIES. POVERTY, CRIME, HOMELESSNESS, WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ALL AFFECT THE OVERALL HEALTH OF COMMUNITIES. ECU HEALTH HAS PROVIDED SUPPORT FOR OUR LOCAL CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE, INVESTMENTS IN COMMUNICATION INFRASTRUCTURE VIA INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY CONNECTIONS, SUPPORT FOR THE TEEN LEADERSHIP ACADEMY, RECRUITMENT OF PHYSICIANS TO OUR RURAL COMMUNITIES, AND PROGRAMS THAT ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO PURSUE HEALTH CAREERS.
