| NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER, INC. | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5: THE FOLLOWING ORGANIZATIONS HAVE PARTNERED AND COLLABORATED TO CONDUCT A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) FOR COMMUNITIES THEY (CHNA PARTNERS) SERVE IN NORTHEASTERN GEORGIA: -DISTRICT 2 PUBLIC HEALTH -HABERSHAM MEDICAL CENTER -GOOD NEWS CLINICS -NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER GAINESVILLE -NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER BRASELTON -NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER BARROW -NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER LUMPKIN -STEPHENS COUNTY HOSPITALTHROUGH THIS ASSESSMENT, THE CHNA PARTNERS WORKED TO BETTER UNDERSTAND LOCAL HEALTH CHALLENGES, IDENTIFY HEALTH TRENDS, DETERMINE GAPS IN THE CURRENT HEALTH DELIVERY SYSTEM, AND CRAFT A PLAN TO ADDRESS THOSE GAPS AND THE IDENTIFIED HEALTH NEEDS. THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY EACH OF THE PARTNERS OVERLAPPED AND COMBINED TO INCLUDE ALL OR PART OF 14 COUNTIES IN NORTHEAST GEORGIA. THESE COMMUNITIES REFLECT THE FOLLOWING SERVICE AREAS: -HABERSHAM MEDICAL CENTER (HMC): HABERSHAM, BANKS, AND RABUN COUNTIES -NGMC PRIMARY SERVICE AREA (PSA): HALL COUNTY -NGMC GREATER BRASELTON SERVICE AREA (GBSA): BARROW AND JACKSON COUNTIES, PARTS OF GWINNETT AND HALL COUNTIES -NGMC SECONDARY SERVICE AREA 400 (SSA 400): DAWSON AND LUMPKIN COUNTIES -NGMC SECONDARY SERVICE AREA NORTH (SSA NORTH): BANKS, HABERSHAM, RABUN, STEPHENS, TOWNS, UNION, AND WHITE COUNTIES -STEPHENS COUNTY HOSPITAL (SCH): STEPHENS AND FRANKLIN COUNTIESPUBLIC GOODS GROUP (PGG) WAS ENGAGED BY THE PARTNERS TO COLLECT AND ANALYZE QUANTITATIVE DATA FOR THE CHNA AND OVER 190 PUBLIC HEALTH INDICATORS WERE EXAMINED IN THE COMMUNITIES REPRESENTED WITHIN THE ABOVE-NAMED NORTHEAST GEORGIA COMMUNITIES. A QUALITATIVE ASSESSMENT WAS THEN CONDUCTED TO SOLICIT THE INPUT OF MORE THAN 4,900 PEOPLE THROUGH SIX CHANNELS: FOCUS GROUPS, INTERVIEWS, IN-PERSON SURVEYS, A MULTI-LINGUAL ONLINE COMMUNITY SURVEY, AN ONLINE EMPLOYEE SURVEY, AND LISTENING SESSIONS. THE COMMUNITY SURVEY WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AND THE EMPLOYEE SURVEY WAS OPEN TO ALL EMPLOYEES OF EACH PARTNER ORGANIZATION. PARTICIPANTS IN LISTENING SESSIONS, FOCUS GROUPS, AND ONE-ON-ONE INTERVIEWS WERE INDIVIDUALS OR ORGANIZATIONS SERVING AND/OR REPRESENTING THE INTERESTS OF MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED, LOW-INCOME, AND/OR MINORITY POPULATIONS IN THE COMMUNITY. IN FEBRUARY AND MARCH 2022, THE THOMOSS GROUP INTERVIEWED KEY STAKEHOLDERS WITH PARTICULAR EXPERTISE OR KNOWLEDGE OF THE VARIOUS SERVICE AREAS TO GAIN EACH COMMUNITY'S PERSPECTIVE. THIRTY-FIVE REPRESENTATIVES OF LOCAL AND REGIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH ENTITIES, MINORITY POPULATIONS, FAITH-BASED COMMUNITIES, LOCAL BUSINESS OWNERS, PHILANTHROPIC COMMUNITIES, MENTAL HEALTH AGENCIES, ELECTED OFFICIALS, AND INDIVIDUALS REPRESENTING OUR MOST VULNERABLE PATIENTS WERE INTERVIEWED. ADDITIONALLY, THE STAFF OF GOOD NEWS CLINICS, DISTRICT 2 PUBLIC HEALTH, AND THE HOUSING AUTHORITY CONDUCTED IN-PERSON INTERVIEWS WITH APPROXIMATELY 190 COMMUNITY MEMBERS REPRESENTING THOSE SETTINGS. THESE CONVERSATIONS WERE DESIGNED TO CAPTURE RESPONDENTS' PERCEPTIONS OF HOW WELL THEIR HEALTH CARE NEEDS WERE BEING MET AND WHAT OBSTACLES INTERFERED WITH THEIR NEEDS. EIGHT FOCUS GROUPS WERE CONDUCTED FOR THE FOLLOWING COMMUNITIES AND GROUPS, AND THE NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS FOR EACH ARE NOTED IN PARENTHESES. -NGMC PRIMARY SERVICE AREA (15) -NGMC GREATER BRASELTON SERVICE AREA (11) -NGMC SECONDARY SERVICE AREA 400 (5) -NGMC SECONDARY SERVICE AREA NORTH (7) -HALL COUNTY FAMILY CONNECTION NETWORK (15) -AFRICAN AMERICAN STAKEHOLDERS, HOSTED BY THE NEWTOWN FLORIST CLUB (13) -GWINNETT HUMAN SERVICES DIVISION (5) -HISPANIC AND LATINO STAKEHOLDERS, HOSTED BY THE HISPANIC ALLIANCE (26)IN MARCH 2022, AN ELECTRONIC COMMUNITY-BASED SURVEY TO SOLICIT COMMUNITY INPUT WAS RELEASED AND WIDELY ADVERTISED TO THE COMMUNITY VIA PRESS RELEASES, PARTNER WEBSITES, AND SOCIAL MEDIA. SURVEY QUESTIONS CAN BE FOUND IN APPENDIX ELEVEN. APPROXIMATELY 4,200 COMMUNITY MEMBERS COMPLETED THE SURVEY, WHICH WAS AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH, SPANISH, AND VIETNAMESE. AN EMPLOYEE SURVEY WAS ALSO RELEASED THROUGH EACH PARTNER ORGANIZATION. APPROXIMATELY 460 EMPLOYEES THROUGHOUT ALL CHNA PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS RESPONDED.THE OUTCOME OF THE QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS WAS THEN COMPARED WITH THE QUALITATIVE FINDINGS TO CREATE A LIST OF HEALTH NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY. EACH HEALTH NEED WAS ASSIGNED TO ONE OF FOUR QUADRANTS IN A HEALTH NEEDS MATRIX WHICH PRIORITIZES HEALTH NEEDS AS: -LOW DATA + LOW QUALITATIVE: NEITHER THE BENCHMARK ANALYSIS NOR THE COMMUNITY DEMONSTRATED A PARTICULAR INDICATOR WAS A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE. -LOW DATA + HIGH QUALITATIVE: THE BENCHMARK ANALYSIS DID NOT IDENTIFY THE INDICATOR AS A COMPARATIVELY SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM BUT THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS INTERVIEWED OR SURVEYED RELAYED IT WAS AS SIGNIFICANT ISSUE. -HIGH DATA + LOW QUALITATIVE: THE BENCHMARK ANALYSIS SHOWS A PARTICULAR INDICATOR WAS AN ISSUE BUT IT WAS NOT MENTIONED OFTEN, IF AT ALL, BY COMMUNITY MEMBERS INTERVIEWED OR SURVEYED. -HIGH DATA + HIGH QUALITATIVE: BOTH THE COMMUNITY AND THE BENCHMARK ANALYSIS IDENTIFIED A PARTICULAR INDICATOR AS A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE. THIS HELPED THE CHNA PARTNERS TO IDENTIFY THE TOP HEALTH NEEDS FOR EACH COMMUNITY. NEEDS CATEGORIZED AS HIGH DATA AND HIGH QUALITATIVE WERE FURTHER ANALYZED DURING THE PRIORITIZATION PROCESS.IN MAY 2022, THE CHNA PARTNERS AND ADVISORS CONSISTING OF BOARD MEMBERS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS HOSTED THREE PRIORITIZATION SESSIONS TO DETERMINE THE PRIORITIES EACH ENTITY WOULD ADDRESS OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS. CRITERIA USED TO SELECT THE PRIORITIES INCLUDED: -ROOT CAUSE AND DISPROPORTIONATE IMPACT ON DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITY MEMBERS -MAGNITUDE AND EXTENT OF THE ISSUE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY -ABILITY OF CHNA PARTNERS TO MAKE AN IMPACT ON THE ISSUEAS A RESULT OF THIS PROCESS, THE FOLLOWING HEALTH PRIORITIES WERE IDENTIFIED FOR NGMC HOSPITALS: -ACCESS TO CARE -MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH -HEALTHY BEHAVIORSFOR EACH PRIORITY, NGMC WILL WORK TO ACHIEVE GREATER HEALTH EQUITY BY REDUCING THE IMPACT OF POVERTY AND OTHER SOCIOECONOMIC INDICATORS ON THAT PRIORITY BY IMPLEMENTING PROGRAMMING AND INVESTMENT IN AREAS THAT DIRECTLY ADDRESS ISSUES RELATED TO INCOME AND POVERTY AND INDIVIDUALS WHO FACE PARTICULAR CHALLENGES IN ACCESSING CARE DUE TO DISABILITY, RACE, ENGLISH PROFICIENCY, EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT, AND OTHER AREAS OF SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS.THE FULL CHNA REPORT IS PUBLICLY AVAILABLE AT NGHS.COM/COMMUNITY-BENEFIT-RESOURCES. AN INTERACTIVE DATA PLATFORM CREATED THROUGH TABLEAU IS AVAILABLE TO ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS AT NORTHEASTGEORGIACHNA.COM. THIS PLATFORM PROVIDES ACCESS TO BOTH ZIP CODE AND COUNTY-LEVEL PUBLIC HEALTH INDICATORS FOUND THROUGHOUT THE CHNA, INCLUDING DEMOGRAPHICS, SOCIOECONOMIC INDICATORS, DISEASE PREVALENCE, INSURANCE COVERAGE, AND PREVENTABLE HOSPITALIZATIONS. ADDITIONALLY, DOWNLOADABLE DATA SHEETS FOR EACH SERVICE AREA ARE AVAILABLE THAT PROVIDE A SUMMARY OF KEY HEALTH, ECONOMIC, AND DEMOGRAPHIC INDICATORS. DOWNLOADABLE DATA SHEETS RELEVANT TO THE SERVICE AREAS ARE AVAILABLE TO THE COMMUNITY AT NGHS.COM/COMMUNITY-BENEFIT-RESOURCES.BOTH THE CHNA AND THE SUBSEQUENT IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES WERE DESIGNED TO FULLY MEET INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE REGULATIONS, AS FOUND IN THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(R). |
| NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER, INC. | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 6A: THE FOLLOWING HOSPITAL FACILITIES WERE INCLUDED IN THE CHNA: -NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER GAINESVILLE -NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER BRASELTON -NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER BARROW -NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER LUMPKIN -HABERSHAM MEDICAL CENTER -STEPHENS COUNTY HOSPITAL |
| NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER, INC. | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 6B: THE FOLLOWING ORGANIZATION PARTNERED AND COLLABORATED IN OUR REGIONAL COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT: -DISTRICT 2 PUBLIC HEALTH -GOOD NEWS CLINICS |
| NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER, INC. | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11: NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER DEFINED FOUR COMMUNITIES SERVED BY THEIR FOUR HOSPITAL FACILITIES: NGMC GREATER BRASELTON SERVICE AREA (GBSA), NGMC PRIMARY SERVICE AREA (PSA), NGMC SECONDARY SERVICE AREA 400 (SSA 400), AND NGMC SECONDARY SERVICE AREA NORTH (SSA NORTH). BASED ON RESULTS OF THE 2022 CHNA, THE FOLLOWING THREE PRIORITIES WERE ADOPTED BY THE ORGANIZATION AND REPRESENT THOSE ON WHICH WE CAN HAVE THE MOST IMPACT BASED ON PRIORITIZATION CRITERIA: -BEHAVIORAL AND MENTAL HEALTH (ALL NGMC SERVICE AREAS) -ACCESS TO CARE (ALL NGMC SERVICE AREAS) -HEALTHY BEHAVIORS (ALL NGMC SERVICE AREAS)FOR DETAILS ON HOW NGMC IS ADDRESSING THE SIGNIFICANT NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN ITS MOST RECENTLY CONDUCTED CHNA, GO TO: HTTPS://WWW.NGHS.COM/COMMUNITY-BENEFIT-RESOURCES, GO TO INITIATIVES AND ACTIVITIES, AND CLICK ON 2023-2025 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN.THE HEALTH NEEDS THE SYSTEM CHOSE NOT TO ADDRESS THROUGH THE PRIORITIZATION PROCESS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING, BROKEN DOWN BY SERVICE AREA: -NGMC PSA: FOOD ACCESS AND NUTRITION, MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH, SOCIAL ISOLATION. -NGMC GBSA: MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, INJURY AND DEATH, VIOLENCE, CHILD ABUSE, INCOME, EDUCATION, ACCESS TO DENTAL CARE, CANCER, TRANSPORTATION. -NGMC SSA NORTH: MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH, CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE, INCOME, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, VIOLENCE, CHILD ABUSE, EDUCATION, ACCESS TO DENTAL CARE, EMPLOYMENT, CEREBROVASCULAR DISEASE, SOCIAL ISOLATION, CANCER, COPD AND RESPIRATORY DISEASE, INJURY, AND DEATH. -NGMC SSA 400: MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH, SMOKING, VIOLENCE/CHILD ABUSE, INCOME, ACCESS TO DENTAL CARE, SOCIAL ISOLATION, CANCER, TRANSPORTATION.EVEN SO, NGMC DOES ACTIVELY WORK ON THESE ISSUES. FOR INSTANCE, ACCESS TO CARE IS A PRIORITY ACROSS THE REGION AND WHILE TRANSPORTATION WAS NOT SINGLED OUT AS A PRIORITY, WE CONSIDER TRANSPORTATION TO BE A KEY COMPONENT TO ACCESSING CARE. WHILE TRANSPORTATION ON ITS OWN DID NOT MAKE THE HEALTH PRIORITY LIST, IT WOULD BE AN ISSUE CONSIDERED IN ACCESS TO CARE ISSUES. WHILE CANCER WAS NOT CHOSEN AS A COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PRIORITY, NGMC ALREADY HAS AN INTERNAL EMPHASIS ON THIS HEALTH ISSUE AND WILL REPORT ITS ACTIVITY VIA THE ANNUAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT. |

| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: | * = RELATES TO NGMC'S COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN PROGRESS NORTHEAST GEORGIA HEALTH SYSTEM (NGHS) IS A GEORGIA NOT-FOR-PROFIT COMMUNITY HEALTH SYSTEM WITH THE MISSION OF IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY IN ALL WE DO. THE HEALTH SYSTEM SERVES MORE THAN ONE MILLION PEOPLE IN 19 COUNTIES ACROSS NORTHEAST GEORGIA OFFERING A FULL RANGE OF HEALTHCARE SERVICES, INCLUDING ONCOLOGY, ORTHOPEDICS, CARDIAC SURGERY, CRITICAL CARE, SURGICAL TRAUMA, NEONATOLOGY, AND WOMEN'S CARE. AS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTH SYSTEM, ALL REVENUE GENERATED ABOVE OPERATING EXPENSES IS RETURNED TO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH IMPROVED SERVICES AND INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS. NGHS IS LED BY VOLUNTEER BOARDS MADE UP OF COMMUNITY LEADERS. NGHS OPERATES THE FOLLOWING HOSPITAL CAMPUSES: NGMC BARROW, LLC: A 56-LICENSED-BED HOSPITAL IN WINDER, GEORGIA. NGMC LUMPKIN, LLC: A 52 LICENSED BED HOSPITAL IN DAHLONEGA, GEORGIA; NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER (NGMC GAINESVILLE AND BRASELTON), A 613-LICENSED BED INPATIENT FACILITY IN GAINESVILLE AND A 188-LICENSED BED INPATIENT FACILITY IN BRASELTON; NGMC HABERSHAM, LLC: A 53-LICENSED BED INPATIENT FACILITY IN DEMOREST, GEORGIA. OTHER AFFILIATES INCLUDE THE NGHS FOUNDATION (THE MEDICAL CENTER FOUNDATION, INC. D/B/A THE NORTHEAST GEORGIA HEALTH SYSTEM FOUNDATION), GEORGIA HEART INSTITUTE, LLC (GHI), AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA PHYSICIANS GROUP (NGPG). NGPG BRINGS TOGETHER MORE THAN 700 PHYSICIANS, PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS, NURSE PRACTITIONERS, MIDWIVES, AND OTHER CLINICAL STAFF AT MORE THAN 50 LOCATIONS ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA. NGPG IS THE STATE'S SIXTH-LARGEST PHYSICIAN GROUP OFFERING EXPERTISE IN MORE THAN 40 SPECIALTIES. GHI IS MADE UP OF MORE THAN 80 PHYSICIANS AND ADVANCED PRACTICE PROVIDERS REPRESENTING MULTIPLE CARDIAC SPECIALTIES THROUGH 14 LOCATIONS ACROSS NORTHEAST GEORGIA. NGHS ALSO HAS TEN URGENT CARE FACILITIES, THREE LONG-TERM CARE CENTERS, AN AMBULATORY SURGERY CENTER, ONE MENTAL HEALTH FACILITY, A SATELLITE CANCER TREATMENT FACILITY AND SEVEN REHAB LOCATIONS PROVIDING OUTPATIENT PHYSICAL, OCCUPATIONAL AND SPEECH THERAPY. ECONOMIC IMPACT NGMC CONTINUES TO HAVE A POSITIVE FINANCIAL IMPACT ON THE LOCAL COMMUNITY AND STATE, ACCORDING TO THE LATEST ANNUAL STUDY CONDUCTED BY THE GEORGIA HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION.

THIS IS IN ADDITION TO THE MORE THAN $84 MILLION PROVIDED IN CHARITY CARE AND OVER $17 MILLION PROVIDED IN COMMUNITY OUTREACH. NGMC SERVES AS A STRONG FINANCIAL ENGINE FOR THE LOCAL ECONOMY. * CHARITY CARE IN FY24, NGHS HOSPITALS PROVIDED CHARITY CARE IN THE COMMUNITY AT THE COST OF AN ESTIMATED $68.7 MILLION AND RECEIVED NO LOCAL TAX REVENUE FROM HALL COUNTY OR ANY OTHER COUNTIES TO SUPPORT OPERATIONS OR CARE PROVIDED TO INDIGENT RESIDENTS. THE CHARITY CARE POLICY PROVIDES FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UP TO 300 PERCENT OF THE POVERTY LEVEL MANY HOSPITALS PROVIDE CHARITY ADJUSTMENTS ONLY TO THE LEVEL THAT MATCHES THE STATE DEFINITION OF MEDICALLY INDIGENT BUT NOT AT THE LEVEL THAT NGHS OFFERS. NGHS'S CHARITY CARE POLICY SUPPORTS PROVIDING CARE FOR INDIGENT PATIENTS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. AS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTH SYSTEM, ALL REVENUE GENERATED ABOVE OPERATING EXPENSES WAS RETURNED TO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH IMPROVED SERVICES AND INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS.
