NEEDS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED BUT ARE CURRENTLY NOT AN AREA OF FOCUS FOR NHI ARE HOME SAFETY CONCERNS, CRIME/SAFETY, POOR OR LACK OF DENTAL CARE, AND POVERTY LEVELS.

Jefferson County Public Schools created an academy model in which students have the opportunity to select career-focused education and earn industry-recognized credentials while in high school. Norton Healthcare transformed its summer program and previous high school scholarship offerings into a comprehensive internship program for students on the health care academy track. Beginning in a student's junior year, health care academy students explore career pathways in one of four key areas: patient care, medical office, allied health and pharmacy technician. Each phase offers a rigorous curriculum, business acumen and professional development, as well as hands-on learning opportunities in the students' chosen career fields. The goal is to transition graduating students into staff positions with our organization after completion of the program. Tuition assistance is offered for these new employees to continue their academic and career pursuits while working at Norton Healthcare in the field of their choice. * In 2019, Norton Healthcare announced a strategic partnership program with UPS and Metro College.

Typically, the first two years are spent working with UPS in a general or preclinical designation, and then the student begins their clinical program in the last two years. This transition allows students to explore employment with Norton Healthcare as well as become a Norton Healthcare Scholar. This program helps to support career readiness in a health care-related field. The combined tuition assistance offers students a debt-free way to get a college education while working with two of the leading companies in the region. * The Student Nurse Apprenticeship Program (SNAP) is a 12- to 18-month apprenticeship through the Norton Healthcare Center for Nursing Practice in which nursing students work and engage in hands-on learning with an experienced mentor while becoming integrated with Norton Healthcare. * In 2019, Norton Healthcare launched new apprenticeship programs.

| Schedule H, Part VI, Line 5 Promotion of community health | Pastoral Care Department Norton Healthcare's Pastoral Care Department provides spiritual, religious and emotional care and support for patients, families and staff throughout the system, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The COVID-19 pandemic presented many new challenges and opportunities for the department. As visitation restrictions were implemented and patient numbers decreased in the spring of 2020, chaplains put additional focus on supporting staff. With so many changes, uncertainties and anxieties, chaplains listened, prayed with and encouraged staff of all disciplines. The leadership of Norton Healthcare routinely reminded all 17,000+ employees that chaplains were available 24/7 to help them. Together, chaplains and caregivers learned how to use iPads and Zoom videoconferencing technology to help patients communicate with family members. More than three dozen initiatives were undertaken to support staff during 2020, including: * Videotaping worship services for employees unable to attend services in person * Providing small cards with inspirational messages to hand out to staff and patients * Creating "Flat Henry," a paper photo version of a facility dog who is handled by a chaplain, to use when the dog could not be in the hospital * Meeting with family members in the parking lots when they could not come into the hospital * Assigning chaplains individual groups or communities to support. One chaplain focused on the Hispanic community by visiting families at funeral homes and providing ongoing support. Another became the chaplain for staff who were on extended furlough due to long-term COVID-19 symptoms. Even with the total number of patients down for several months during 2020, chaplains made more than 29,000 patient contacts, plus the thousands of family members they also cared for during those visits. Pastoral care conversations were made over the phone with patients and family members alike. As supplies of personal protective equipment (PPE) became more stable, chaplains spent more time in rooms with patients and welcomed visitors back during the summer. The assistance included, but was not limited to: * Grief support and facilitation of decision-making at death * End of-life and goals-of-care conversations * Education about and enacting advance directives * Offering religious rituals and literature * Discussing ethical dilemmas * Providing comfort and conversation with patients who were lonely, afraid, conflicted or struggling Chaplains care for people, regardless of their religious or spiritual backgrounds and beliefs, to help them use and strengthen their spiritual, emotional and relational resources to better cope and to thrive. Through formal and informal staff support efforts, teaching, committee involvement, ethics consultations and many other ways, chaplains are fully integrated into the life of the Norton Healthcare system. Norton Heart & Vascular Institute Norton Heart & Vascular Institute is Louisville's leading cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment program. Each year, it provides diagnostic, medical, interventional and surgical care for thousands of patients from Kentucky and Southern Indiana. Norton Heart & Vascular Institute specialists treat patients at Norton Healthcare's four adult-service hospitals and more than 28 outpatient clinics, diagnostic centers and specialty locations throughout Greater Louisville and Southern Indiana.

It offers comprehensive cardiovascular care, including specialized programs for electrophysiology, structural heart defects, advanced cardiac imaging, advanced heart failure and cardiac rehabilitation. * Kentucky has one of the highest occurrences of heart disease in the country. As a result, Norton Heart & Vascular Institute has committed to being a leader in acute chest pain care. All four of Norton Healthcare's adult-service hospitals are recognized by the American College of Cardiology as Acute Chest Pain Centers. Optimal care for heart attack patients takes coordination at the hospital, emergency medical services and system levels. For excellence in coordinating this care and creating a regional network of care, Norton Healthcare received the Mission: Lifeline Regional STEMI Trailblazer Achievement Award from the American Heart Association and was the only health care organization in Kentucky to receive this award. * Comorbidities found in many in our region, as well as advancing heart disease, are leading to increased occurrences of heart failure. The Norton Heart & Vascular Institute Advanced Heart Failure & Recovery Program provides comprehensive care to manage heart failure, and in some cases, recover individuals out of heart failure. In 2020, the program expanded its advanced treatment offerings as Norton Audubon Hospital received ventricular assist device (VAD) accreditation from DNV GL Healthcare USA and the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. This advanced level of care, partnered with navigation, patient education and support of those with heart failure, is key to impacting heart failure care in Kentucky. * In 2020, Norton Healthcare achieved systemwide noninvasive cardiology accreditation from the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission. Departments that perform noninvasive cardiology procedures are many times the first touchpoint for Norton Healthcare patients for heart and vascular care. This recognition signifies the highest level of diagnostic capabilities at all Norton Healthcare locations through the use of noninvasive echocardiography, noninvasive vascular ultrasound, nuclear cardiology and positron emission tomography (PET) cardiology. Norton Orthopedic Institute Norton Orthopedic Institute, a part of Norton Healthcare, provides advanced orthopedic care for all bones and joints, and for people of all ages.

Norton Neuroscience Institute Founded in 2009, Norton Neuroscience Institute is continuing its quest to be the regional and national leader in treatment, research and academic training for adult and pediatric neuroscience disciplines. Norton Neuroscience Institute ensures patients will be treated for neurological disorders without having to leave the region for care. Subspecialty neurosurgeons, neurologists and other neurology-related specialists have joined the growing institute. These physicians and advanced practice providers offer expertise in stroke care, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), brain tumors, headaches, concussions, spine care, endovascular and cerebrovascular neurosurgery, and many other neurological conditions. * Kentucky is considered to be part of the "stroke belt," a region of the United States that sees a high number of incidents of stroke cases. As a result, Norton Neuroscience Institute has committed to being a leader in stroke care. Norton Brownsboro Hospital is a designated Comprehensive Stroke Center. Norton Audubon Hospital and Norton Hospital are certified Primary Stroke Centers, and Norton Women's & Children's Hospital is an Acute Stroke Ready certified center. * Neurosurgeons with Norton Neuroscience Institute were the first in Kentucky to use minimally invasive surgery techniques, including robotic surgery, laser ablation and stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) in the treatment of brain tumors and epilepsy for children and adults. * Norton Neuroscience Institute offers treatment for all neurological disorders. Providers work together for the patient, providing multidisciplinary programs in areas of brain tumor, ALS, movement disorders, epilepsy, trigeminal neuralgia (face pain) and stroke. * In 2019, Norton Neuroscience Institute's pediatric neurosurgeons came together with the UofL School of Medicine Department of Neurology, Division of Child Neurology, to create Norton Children's Neuroscience Institute, affiliated with the UofL School of Medicine. While both groups having been working together for decades, the creation of the new institute allows for leading experts to work more seamlessly together to treat the full spectrum of spine and brain conditions in children. Norton Healthcare Prevention & Wellness * Norton Healthcare Prevention and Wellness played a key role in supporting the community throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, this department supported the first COVID-19 testing site and provided testing throughout the city at various locations. In December 2020, it began administering COVID-19 vaccinations. * In 2020, Norton Healthcare Prevention & Wellness staff provided preventive screenings aboard the Norton Healthcare Mobile Prevention Center in collaboration with various community partners. Over 800 women received mammograms and/or wellness exams, including cervical cancer screenings, aboard the mobile unit. Of those, approximately 9% had not been screened in the past five years and 13% had never had a mammogram. Of the almost 90 Norton Healthcare Mobile Prevention Center events, over half took place in underserved communities and over 60% of patients came from medically underserved areas. * Education on cardiovascular health, effects of smoking, prostate health, breast and women's health, colon health and more was provided to almost 1,200 community members at various events, such as health fairs and presentations. If eligible and interested, participants were offered referrals for a colonoscopy or given an at-home testing kit that they could mail to the lab and later receive their results. Colonoscopy referrals were made for 29 people and 95 people received at-home testing kits. To help eliminate barriers to care, Norton Healthcare Prevention & Wellness implemented a dedicated phone number, (502) 446-WELL, that links eligible patients to colonoscopy scheduling or requesting in-home tests. * In collaboration with many community partners, staff provided almost 2,000 cardiovascular screenings (blood pressure, BMI, glucose and cholesterol) for approximately 700 participants in multiple locations throughout Jefferson and surrounding counties, including in Southern Indiana. Each participant received education on healthy lifestyle choices, such as diet and exercise. Group education on various health and wellness topics was provided throughout the year. * Norton Healthcare Prevention & Wellness conducted nine American Lung Association Freedom From Smoking classes in 2020, with over 20 people attending.

| Schedule H, Part I, Line 3c Eligibility criteria for free or discounted care | Norton Hospitals, Inc. has a policy where we discount charges for all self-pay patients with no insurance coverage regardless of income qualifications. Because of this policy, we responded "No" to line 3b in that we do not utilize federal poverty guidelines for providing discounted care. |
| Schedule H, Part I, Line 6a Community benefit report prepared by related organization | Norton Healthcare, Inc. |
| Schedule H, Part I, Line 7 Costing Methodology used to calculate financial assistance | The costing methodology used to calculate the community benefit expenses was to calculate the cost by hospital location (five separate locations under one Medicare provider number). The cost was determined based on a specific location cost to charge ratio. The cost used in the calculator was reduced by provider taxes, Graduate Medical Education expenses, and other costs. The adjusted cost to charge ratio was then multiplied times the gross charges for qualified financial assistance charges, Medicaid, and the state Disproportionate Program (other means tested government program) to obtain the specific community benefit expense. |
| Schedule H, Part II Community Building Activities | NORTON HOSPITALS INC.'S (NHI) SUPPORTED OVER 250 COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS WITH LEADERSHIP SUPPORT WHICH INCLUDED OVER 55,000 HOURS AND OVER $600,000 IN SALARIES.

| Schedule H, Part III, Line 2 Bad debt expense - methodology used to estimate amount | In accordance with accounting guidance, bad debt is not presented as an expense, but is included as a reduction in net patient revenue. |
| Schedule H, Part III, Line 3 Bad Debt Expense Methodology | The method used to determine the amount that reasonably could be attributable to patients who likely would qualify for financial assistance under our financial assistance policy is based on our outside eligibility vendor's experience with qualifying accounts as financial assistance. Medassist Firstsource, our outside vendor, screens all self-pay accounts and based on an initial screening, will classify the account as probable financial assistance. If the accounts appear to meet Norton Hospitals, Inc.'s (NHI) financial assistance program guidelines, these accounts are then required to submit the necessary documentation to ultimately be classified as a financial assistance account. Based on all accounts that are classified as probable financial assistance by Medassist Firstsource and their experience with getting accounts qualified as financial assistance, it is estimated that 55% of those accounts classified as probable financial assistance and which do not submit the required documentation would qualify as a NHI financial assistance account. The estimated cost of accounts that are estimated to qualify for our financial assistance programs is calculated based on gross charges for accounts for the year that are probable but do not submit the necessary documentation multiplied times our cost to charge ratio times the 55% estimated conversion factor. |
| Schedule H, Part III, Line 4 Bad debt expense - financial statement footnote | In accordance with accounting guidance, bad debt is no longer an expense, but is included as a reduction in net patient service revenue. The following paragraph per the audited financial statements (page 19, second paragraph) discusses the handling of patient deductible and coinsurance not paid by patients; "Generally, patients who are covered by third-party payors are responsible for patient responsibility balances, including deductibles and coinsurance, which vary in amount. The Corporation estimates the transaction price for patients with deductibles and coinsurance based on historical experience and current market conditions. The initial estimate of the transaction price is determined by reducing the standard charge by any explicit price concessions, discounts, and /or implicit price concessions. Subsequent changes to the estimate of the transaction price are generally recorded as adjustments to net patient service revenue in the period of change. Adjustments arising from a change in the transaction price were not significant in 2020 and 2019." |
| Schedule H, Part III, Line 8 Community benefit & methodology for determining medicare costs | The costing methodology used to determine the Medicare allowable cost was based on the Medicare principles used in completing the Medicare cost report. All cost reported came from the Medicare cost report. Norton Hospitals, Inc. (NHI) accepts all Medicare patients with the knowledge that there may be shortfalls and operates to promote the Health of the community. NHI believes that any Medicare shortfall should be treated as a Community Benefit because Medicare does not typically fully compensate NHI for the cost of providing hospital care to Medicare beneficiaries. |
| Schedule H, Part III, Line 9b Collection practices for patients eligible for financial assistance | After the patient's initial screening for financial assistance, if it is believed that the patient qualifies for financial assistance; Norton Hospitals Inc. will not start collection efforts pending the patient submitting the necessary information to document meeting the financial assistance qualifications. If the patient submits the necessary documentation within a reasonable time period, then there will not be any collection efforts made to collect any amount from the patient. The patient will receive a statement/bill reflecting the amount due through the financial assistance application process pending the patient's financial assistance application, but there will be no collection efforts. Only after an attempt is made to contact the patient to obtain the necessary documentation for completing the financial assistance application and the patient not responding will collection efforts begin. There is ongoing effort throughout the collection process to screen for Medicaid eligibility, Disproportionate Share Hospital, and the need for providing financial assistance applications to patients. When a patient is approved for financial assistance, their account balance is written off. |

PARTNERSHIPS WITH THESE ORGANIZATIONS, ALONG WITH NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY, AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION AND OTHERS, ALSO PROVIDE NHI IMPORTANT STATISTICS AND DATA TO USE IN EVALUATING COMMUNITY ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE SERVICES AND HEALTH CARE DISPARITIES. ADDITIONALLY, NHI ACCESSES DATA FROM ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND THE UNITED STATES CENSUS BUREAU TO ASSESS AREAS OF GREATEST ANTICIPATED POPULATION GROWTH AND LOW-INCOME AREAS, BOTH OF WHICH MAY BE IN GREATEST NEED FOR PREVENTION EDUCATION, FREE SCREENINGS AND ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE. Norton Healthcare, Inc. (NHC), the parent company of NHI, CONDUCTED A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) FOR ALL five HOSPITALS. THE CHNA DEFINED THE PATIENT SERVICE AREA BY PATIENT ORIGIN FOR INPATIENT STAYS, DEMOGRAPHIC, SOCIOECONOMIC, POPULATION, AND OTHER HEALTH RELATED INDICATORS UTILIZED TO PROVIDE INFORMATION ON THE HEALTH STATUS OF THE COMMUNITY. COMMUNITY INPUT WAS PROVIDED THROUGH PROVIDER AND COMMUNITY INTERVIEWS, TARGETED FOCUS GROUPS AND A COMMUNITY HEALTH SURVEY IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE LOUSIVILLE METRO DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELLNESS. HEALTH NEEDS WERE PRIORITIZED AND ADDRESSED BASED ON HEALTH STATUS FINDINGS AND THE COMMUNITY INPUT. THE CHNA IS A COMPONENT OF THE ORGANIZATIONS STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS AS RESOURCES ARE NECESSARY TO IMPLEMENT STRATEGIES OUTLINED FOR PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED. THE NHC BOARD OF TRUSTEES AS WELL AS THE LEADERSHIP OF NHC AND HOSPITAL CHIEF ADMINSTRATIVE OFFICERS HAVE APPROVED THE ASSESSMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN |
| Schedule H, Part VI, Line 3 Patient education of eligibility for assistance | Signage is posted in all Norton Healthcare, Inc. (NHC) hospital facilities, including the admission area and emergency room, providing information on the ability to apply for financial assistance and to seek help in paying your bill. The signage is translated in five languages and all languages are contained on the same poster. The languages are: English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Croatian, and Arabic. At the time of registration, the Patient Access/Registration department discusses with the patient the financial assistance/charity options, guidelines, and provides assistance as needed in filling out a financial assistance application and answering questions. The patient may also be referred to the NHC eligibility vendor for assistance at no cost to the patient/guarantor. Additional questions from the patient/guarantor can be facilitated through the NHC Single Billing Office (SBO) area, Customer Service, and NHC vendors. NHC has created a number of different options for the patient/guarantor to supply the information/application for financial assistance to NHC. Those various methods of delivery include: in person, by mail, by fax, on-line application submission via the website, and by specific email address. These various options are publicized and made known to the patient. In 2020 statements mailed to the guarantors by Norton Hospitals, Inc. (NHI) contained information to start the financial assistance application process. NHI employs an outside eligibility vendor, Medassist Firstsource. All self-pay accounts for the facilities are placed for eligibility screening with Medassist Firstsource. They screen for NHC financial assistance, Medicaid, Medicaid Managed Care organizations, presumptive eligibility, and Disproportionate Share Hospital/Kentucky Children's Health Insurance Program (DSH/KCHIP). In addition, they may provide education and referral assistance to the appropriate county/state departments for food stamps, rent assistance, heating assistance, etc. The process of completing the application is often performed by Medassist Firstsource. They protect filing deadlines by submitting the appropriate forms to the state/county. They follow up to secure proof of income documents for Norton financial assistance and follow up with a state caseworker as needed. Medassist Firstsource also makes outside field calls or home visits to the patients to secure the needed information for eligibility assistance if the patient is homebound. Additionally, Medassist Firstsource may provide assistance with patient transportation needs so that the patient can make their scheduled appointments with their caseworker. All of the services provided by Medassist Firstsource eligibility are at no cost to the patient. Cost to the hospitals for these eligibility and enrollment services was in excess of $6,600,000 in 2020. NHI has a staff of over 11 full-time employees including a supervisor that are dedicated to performing the following functions: processing, reviewing, and approving the hundreds of financial assistance applications received each week. Additionally, some of those employees make out-bound calls to solicit financial assistance information needed to process the patient's application. Financial assistance for Norton financial assistance is not limited to the self-pay population. Even patients with insurance coverage are encouraged to apply for assistance so their deductible, co-payments, and co-insurance amounts are covered under the various assistance programs. Financial counselors/social workers at the facilities are educated and trained to assist with counseling patients to determine and explain our financial assistance programs. They continue to receive on-going education throughout the entire year regarding eligibility changes and additions for Norton financial assistance, DSH/KCHIP, Medicaid, Medicaid Managed Care organization, presumptive eligibility, etc. As the foundation office receives inquiries directed to their offices, they refer these individuals to Patient Financial Services (PFS) to screen for possible Norton financial assistance or The Norton Children's Hospital Foundation, Inc. (NCHF) funding. If a child's account does not qualify for Norton financial assistance, then those not qualifying for children's applications are referred to management of PFS for consideration for special funding through NCHF as well as other programs. The charity application was provided on the back of the SBO statement. NHI ensures that all patients were made aware of financial assistance regardless of where the patient's account may have been in the collection cycle. Even if the patient/guarantor had not previously availed themselves of the opportunity to apply for financial assistance and decided they will now cooperate, then allowed the patient/guarantor to apply and approved if they met the qualifications. Financial assistance notifications and applications were made available to the patient/guarantor via telephone, face to face meetings, website, mail, electronically, etc. Primary collection agencies chosen by NHI include with their initial placement letter an insert of a copy of a financial assistance application for the guarantor to complete. Calls resulting from notification correspondence sent by the collection agencies may be routed to Spanish-speaking Customer Service representatives or patient/guarantors may also request an interpreter service to assist in facilitating information regarding financial assistance. NHI has translated the full financial assistance policy, financial assistance applications, and the plain language summary into four languages: Spanish, Vietnamese, Croatian, and Arabic. NHI's Customer Service department routinely instructs and screens patients in the protocol regarding financial assistance through the Norton financial assistance program. Since 2007, NHI has offered at the time of final billing all true hospital self-pay patients a significant discount off of the total charges that were reflected on their monthly statements and the amount due. Contracted collection agencies are required to solicit financial assistance applications when the patient/guarantor indicates "cannot pay". The statement provided by NHI in 2020 included the link to the NHC website to allow the patient/guarantor to learn more about financial assistance. The statement contained the financial assistance application on the back of the statement so the guarantor could apply using the actual NHI statement and could then mail, fax, bring the application directly to the facilities, or email the form to PFS. The statement included a phone number to call to learn more about the application process and discuss financial assistance options. |
| Schedule H, Part VI, Line 4 Community information | PRIMARY SERVICE AREA NORTON HOSPITALS INC.'S (NHI) PRIMARY SERVICE AREA POPULATION IS OVER 1.5 MILLION AND EXPECTED TO INCREASE 2% BETWEEN 2021 AND 2026. IN 2016, THE PRIMARY SERVICE AREA INCREASED FROM A 7 COUNTY AREA TO AN AREA INCLUSIVE OF 16 COUNTIES, 5 OF WHICH ARE LOCATED ALONG THE OHIO RIVER BORDER IN KENTUCKY, 4 BORDER THE RIVER IN INDIANA, AND INCLUDES 5 ADDITIONAL KENTUCKY COUNTIES AND 2 ADDITIONAL INDIANA COUNTIES THAT DO NOT BORDER THE OHIO RIVER. 94% OF NHI'S PATIENTS ARE DERIVED FROM THIS SERVICE AREA. APPROXIMATELY 30% OF THE POPULATION IS OVER 55 YEARS OLD; COMPARED TO 29% IN THE USA. THIS PORTION OF THE POPULATION TENDS TO USE ADDITIONAL HEALTHCARE SERVICES. THE PEDIATRIC POPULATION IN 2021 WAS ESTIMATED AT 340,722 AND IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO 339,920 WITHIN 5 YEARS AND REPRESENTS 22% OF THE POPULATION. THE NUMBER OF HOUSEHOLDS IN THE PRIMARY SERVICE AREA WAS ESTIMATED AT 612,307 IN 2021 AND IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE 2.2% BY 2026. CURRENTLY 10% OF THE ADULT POPULATION DOES NOT HAVE A HIGH SCHOOL DEGREE AND 18.3% OF THE HOUSEHOLD INCOME IS LESS THAN $25,000 A YEAR; THE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME IS $66,313 COMPARED TO $68,703 FOR THE UNITED STATES. NHI TREATS 43% OF THE ADULT INPATIENT CASES IN THE COMMUNITY AND ITS PAYOR MIX IS 50% MEDICARE, 26% MEDICAID/PASSPORT AND 2% SELF PAY. THE LARGEST COUNTY IN THE SERVICE AREA IS JEFFERSON COUNTY AND ITS MAY 2021 PRELIMINARY NON-SEASONALLY ADJUSTED UNEMPLOYMENT RATE WAS 3.8% COMPARED TO 4.4% FOR KENTUCKY AND 5.5% FOR THE UNITED STATES. NORTON'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREA HAS ADEQUATE ACCESS TO HOSPITAL CARE, WITH OVER 3,400 INPATIENT SHORT-TERM ACUTE CARE BEDS IN JEFFERSON COUNTY ALONE, 1,861 (54%) OF WHICH ARE PART OF THE NORTON HEALTHCARE SYSTEM. REVIEW OF OCCUPANCY RATES FOR EACH HOSPITAL INDICATES THAT THE INPATIENT NEED IS CURRENTLY BEING MET. THROUGH A CERTIFICATE OF NEED (CON) PROCESS, KENTUCKY HAS A STATE HEALTH PLAN THAT REGULATES HEALTH SERVICES PROVIDED. THE CON PROCESS ESTABLISHES CRITERIA BASED ON COMMUNITY NEED IN AN ATTEMPT TO ENSURE THAT UNNECESSARY DUPLICATION OF SERVICES DOES NOT OCCUR. IN JEFFERSON COUNTY 14.2% OF THE COMMUNITY IS BELOW THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES AS COMPARED TO 16% OF THE POPULATION BELOW THE FEDERAL POVERTY IN KENTUCKY. POVERTY IS A KEY DRIVER OF HEALTH STATUS AND CREATES BARRIERS TO ACCESS, INCLUDING HEALTH SERVICES, HEALTHY FOOD CHOICES AND OTHER FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO POOR HEALTH. CERTAIN SEGMENTS OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY NORTON HAVE EXTREME POVERTY. THE CENTRAL AND WEST SEGMENTS OF JEFFERSON COUNTY HAVE POVERTY RATES TWICE THAT OF THE KENTUCKY AND NATIONAL RATES. FOUR AREAS WITHIN JEFFERSON COUNTY HAVE BEEN DESIGNATED AS MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREAS BY THE HEALTH RESOURCES AND SERVICES ADMINISTRATION (HRSA). THE HRSA IS THE PRIMARY FEDERAL AGENCY FOR IMPROVING HEALTH CARE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE ECONOMICALLY AND MEDICALLY VULNERABLE. IT WORKS WITH STATE PARTNERS TO DETERMINE AREAS WITH TOO FEW PRIMARY CARE, DENTAL AND MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS AND SERVICES. THERE ARE LIMITED FEDERAL RESOURCES, SO THE DESIGNATION HELPS TO PRIORITIZE AND FOCUS RESOURCES TO AREAS WITH THIS DESIGNATION. THE TABLE BELOW LISTS FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTERS LOCATED IN JEFFERSON COUNTY THAT HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED TO SERVE UNDERSERVED AREAS OR POPULATIONS. SECONDARY SERVICE AREA NHI's SECONDARY SERVICE AREA DECREASED FROM 26 COUNTIES TO 17 COUNTIES IN 2016 AS MANY COUNTIES ARE NOW INCLUDED IN THE PRIMARY SERVICE AREA. NHI's SECONDARY SERVICE AREA POPULATION WAS 432,542 IN 2021 AND IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE 2% BETWEEN 2021 AND 2026. THE SECONDARY SERVICE AREA SPREADS ACROSS 15 KENTUCKY COUNTIES AND 2 INDIANA COUNTIES. THE 55+ AGE COHORT REPRESENTS 30% OF THE SECONDARY SERVICE AREA POPULATION AND IS SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN IN THE UNITED STATES. THE PEDIATRIC POPULATION IN 2021 WAS ESTIMATED AT 97,728 AND EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO 98,628 BY 2026. ALTHOUGH THE PEDIATRIC POPULATION IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN RELATIVELY FLAT (1% GROWTH), THERE IS A NEED FOR CHILDREN TO HAVE APPROPRIATE ACCESS TO CARE IN THE RURAL AREAS OF KENTUCKY. THE NUMBER OF HOUSEHOLDS IN THE SECONDARY SERVICE AREA WAS ESTIMATED AT 169,940 IN 2021 AND IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE 2.7% BY 2026. OVER 45,000 ADULTS IN THIS SERVICE AREA DO NOT HAVE A HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION AND THE AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD INCOME IS UNDER $25,000 FOR 25.8% OF THE POPULATION. THE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME IS $50,208, 4% LESS THAN KENTUCKY AND 24% LESS THAN THE PRIMARY SERVICE AREA AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD INCOME. |
