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 FootnoteNorthern 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 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 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 bases 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 Maine Coast Hos - 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 2021 and January 2022. All forms of engagement included public forums, community sponsored events, and oral surveys. The purpose of these outreach efforts was to gather feedback on data and to identify health priorities, community assets, and gaps in resources to be used in health improvement planning. Virtual community forums with residents and service providers were held in the county 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 September 30, 2021, Hancock County Shared CHNA Community Engagement Forum and provided valuable feedback on the most recent 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, page 20): Aroostook Mental Health Center, Bar Harbor Bank & Trust, Beth C. Wright Cancer Resource Center, Blue Hill Heritage Trust, City of Ellsworth, Community Health & Counseling Services, Department of Health and Human Services/Office of Child and Family Services, Childrens Behavioral Health Services, Downeast Community Partners, Downeast Horizons, Downeast Public Health Council - Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention, First Congregational Church of Blue Hill, Friends in Action, Hancock County Emergency Management Agency, Healthy Acadia, Healthy Peninsula-Community Health, Hospice Council of Maine, Hospice Volunteers of Hancock County, Maine Community Foundation, Maine Hospice Council, Maine State Senate, Mount Desert Island Hospital, New Ventures Maine, Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital, Northern Light Maine Coast Hospital, Northern Light Health, State of Maine Department of Health and Human Services, Maine CDC Downeast District, Surry Neighbors Helping Neighbors, Town of Bar Harbor, United Way of Eastern Maine, University of Maine Augusta. New this cycle was an expanded effort to reach those who may experience systemic disadvantages and therefore experience a greater rate of health disparities. Two types of outreach were piloted in this effort.One effort included nine community sponsored events hosted by organizations having statewide reach representing the following communities: Black or African Americans; people who are homeless or formerly homeless; older adults; people who are deaf or hard of hearing; people who define themselves or identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer and/or questioning (LGBTQ+); people who live with a disability; people with a mental health diagnosis; people with low income; and youth.Another effort included conducting oral surveys in collaboration with eight ethnic-based community organizations community health workers in order to better reach Maines immigrant population that included: 1,000 surveys were conducted in either English (32%), Somali, (24%), Arabic (23%), French (8%), Spanish (5%), Lingala (3%), and other languages including Swahili, Maay Maay, Portuguese, Oromo, Eretria, Kirundi, and Amara. When asked for their countries of origin, respondents most commonly cited the United States (212), Iraq (205), Somalia (157), The Democratic Republic of Congo (81), Djibouti (70), Kenya (30), and Mexico (29). Other countries of origin mentioned included Rwanda, Ethiopia, Angola, Syria, Guatemala, South Africa, Palestine, Puerto Rico, Morocco, Afghanistan, El Salvador, Nigeria, Canada, Burundi, Eritrea, France, Honduras, Uganda, Jamaica, Mali, Gabon, Sudan, Nicaragua, Peru, and Brazil.
Facility: Northern Light Maine Coast Hos - Part V, Section B, Line 6aThe Maine Shared CHNA was conducted through a collaborative effort among Maines 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, AR Gould Hospital, Blue Hill Hospital, CA Dean Hospital, Eastern Maine Medical Center, Inland Hospital, Maine Coast Hospital, Mayo Hospital, Mercy Hospital, and Sebasticook Valley Hospital. See Line 5s response for a comprehensive list of participating organizations, including other non-Northern Light Health hospitals who were consulted during the engagement process.
Facility: Northern Light Maine Coast Hos - Part V, Section B, Line 11As a member of a partnering healthcare system in the Maine Shared Community Health Needs Assessment (Shared CHNA) effort, Northern Light Healths Community Health Council recognized the value, reach, and influence of aligned engagement efforts with a shared purpose. Review of the county CHNA forum priority voting revealed that mental health, social determinants of health, and substance use were among the top four priorities in almost every county CHNA forum. These three priority areas were presented and adopted by our hospitals governing board as shared priorities where Northern Light Health member organizations would engage in common strategy to achieve greater statewide effect. Northern Light Maine Coast Hospitals community health strategy was developed to include our systemwide shared priority areas of work reflecting upon the quantitative health profile indicators and qualitative prioritization derived from the Shared CHNAs community engagement process. We also considered local readiness and capacity to address these needs in partnership with our local communities. The following provides an update on the actions taken on the three priority areas in fiscal year 2024 (FY24):Mental Health: Actions taken by Northern Light Maine Coast Hospital to address this priority in FY24: Maine Coast Hospital trained staff in Psychological First Aid (PFA), an evidence-informed approach to help anyonechildren, adolescents, adults, and familiesin the immediate aftermath of a traumatic experience and has proven to be effective when someone is experiencing a mental health crisis at any time. PFA shines a light on the impact of collective trauma, builds resiliency, and assists in self-care action plans by incorporating five evidence-based principles: safety, calming, connectedness, self and community reliance, and hope.Certified Maine Coast Hospital staff then engaged schools and/or youth serving organizations to educate and empower others to respond to mental and behavioral health needs of children using the PFA training model. Attendees received training in eight core elements: engagement, safety, stabilization, information gathering, practical assistance, connection to social supports, information on coping, and connecting with collaborative services. Maine Coast Hospital conducted 4 PFA training sessions with 45 individuals trained. Northern Light Healths systemwide collective impact of our shared objective through year 1 (2023) and year 2 (2024) of the three-year cycle, has resulted in 80 training sessions with 1,606 individuals trained.Social Determinants of HealthActions taken by Northern Light Maine Coast Hospital to address this priority in FY24: FindHelp.org is the nations leading social care network, making it easier to connect patients and their families with free or reduced-cost programs from local partners and national support services with dignity and ease, and is one component of Northern Light Healths response to need in the communities we serve. Northern Light findhelp will allow users to directly communicate with referral partners to coordinate care of our patients.Northern Light Maine Coast Hospital engaged in meaningful, trusted community partnerships to reach priority populations with equitable access to community resources and social supports and connect individuals with community resources they need to improve their health and well-being through the findhelp.org platform. Maine Coast Hospital participated on a monthly systemwide workgroup focused on community engagement efforts to educate community partners on the availability and uses of findhelp.org. Community partners were provided with assistance in adding their program information to the platform directory and with activating the ability to receive referrals or requests for information through the platform. Maine Coast Hospital engaged 6 community partners who added 7 programs to the findhelp directory. Northern Light Healths systemwide collective impact of our shared objective to increase community partner engagement with FindHelp.org resulted in 69 programs added to findhelp and 148 programs that increased engagement with findhelp.Substance UseActions taken by Northern Light Maine Coast Hospital to address this priority in FY24: In collaboration with other Northern Light Health member organizations and community-based organizations, trained Maine Coast Hospital staff representing pharmacy and community health departments, worked diligently to improve processes and partnerships to reduce barriers and provide equitable access to state-sponsored Naloxone (Narcan) kits for priority populations. Northern Light Maine Coast Hospital participated in the Maine Naloxone Distribution Initiative which provides state-purchased naloxone to community organizations, clinical sites, and end-users throughout the State of Maine to distribute free of charge. Through a collaboration with Bangor Public Health & Community Services, Maine Coast Hospital worked in the emergency department and community settings to provide education on the use of these naloxone kits to end-users to facilitate the reversal of private overdoses in the community. Maine Coast Hospital distributed 38 state-sponsored naloxone kits. Northern Light Healths systemwide collective impact of our shared objective to improve distribution and preventive access to state sponsored naloxone kits systemwide resulted in 2,560 naloxone kits distributed throughout Northern Light Healths service area. Additional information related to actions taken by Maine Coast Hospital on the above priorities can be found in their FY23-FY24 Progress Report to Our Community at https://northernlighthealth.org/Community-Health-Needs-Assessment/2022-Community-Health-Strategy. Maine Coast Hospital considered all priorities identified in the Shared CHNA, as well as other sources, through an extensive review process. Access to care was not selected as an independent priority of focus as many of our efforts identified in our strategy are connected to access issues.

OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Please see the following excerpt from the Northern Light Health Annual Report 2024 to the Community for details of community benefit projects at NLH members:Thinking Globally, Acting LocallyAs we reflect on the past year at Northern Light Health, we are reminded of our responsibility to deliver exceptional care while adapting to and rising up to meet our challenges. This years annual report theme, thinking globally, acting locally, demonstrates how we remain focused on our promise of making healthcare work for Maine people. In this 2024 annual report, we share many remarkable stories. You will read about how we eliminated a common operating room gas out of concern for our environment, how mobile mammography brings services to rural areas, how a youth summit addresses mental health challenges, a patients journey through gender-affirming voice therapy, and one familys experience of becoming caregivers.These stories highlight our promise to meet local needs while contributing to global solutions. Weve persevered, strengthened services, and stayed true to promise.Thank you for your trust, partnership, and support as we navigate this journey together.Timothy J.

The Youth Mental Health Summit was established to provide tools, support, and the understanding necessary to better navigate the complexities of adolescent mental health.Stella Fox, a student volunteer manager and senior at Hampden Academy, says she had her own journey with mental health. Im a pretty busy person. I am someone who, if Im not busy, I try to find things to make my life busier, she laughs, describing her packed schedule.As part of that busy life, Fox struggles with the internal pressures of being a teenager, especially in the demanding world of dance. There is a lot of pressure in dance about a certain look youre supposed to have, she adds, Obviously, thats tough for anybody to hear. But when youre going through your teen years, youre facing a lot of other pressures and challenges. Fox and her fellow student manager and student at John Bapst, Ada Sinclair-Steele, are passionate about making a difference. Each year, high school students who participate in the volunteer program at the medical center work on a passion project for a cause that they choose. In 2024, the group chose youth mental health."I really didnt know that much about mental health when we started, Fox admits, But as we brainstormed and discussed different ideas, I realized how crucial it was to create a space where teens could learn how to take care of their mental health.Stacey Coventry, the director of community engagement at Eastern Maine Medical Center helped guide the students. For this passion project, one of the things we talked about was wanting to have a community forum that brought adults and peers together to openly have a dialogue about all the things that contributed to their mental health. Everything from bullying to stress in schools, social media, suicide awareness and prevention, and grief and bereavement, all the different things that affect our mental health. They wanted to have a dialogue, but also have a way to show kids that there are other ways that they can cope with these things.The summit featured a variety of activities, from art therapy and nature-based therapy to animal-assisted therapy and open panel discussions. We jumped right into adventure-based activities, because to learn about adventure-based activities through a lecture seems counterintuitive. We had them doing things like a pool noodle shuffle, which is when everybody holds a pool noodle and at the same time they have to let go of their pool noodle and grab the noodle of the person next to them without letting it hit the floor, and we let them work through some of their frustrations, explains Shane Mack McPherson, psychiatric technician and activities coordinator, Northern Light Acadia Hospital. Having summits like this is important because there are not many of them around here, especially geared toward high school students, says Sinclair-Steele, So many teens struggle with mental health challenges and this helps provide resources to seek help within our communities.Coventry was moved by the students engagement. I was hoping they would feel less alone and walk away with a new way to manage their mental health, she says, I also hoped theyd be excited to share what theyd learned with their peers and family members. The summit wasnt just about learning new coping mechanisms; it was also about breaking the stigma surrounding mental health. It was designed to create a safe, open space for teens to discuss mental health and learn effective coping strategies.As the day ended, Fox shared her thoughts. If youre willing to talk about it, you should, she said, Its about giving hope to others. Once you tell your story, other people will feel comfortable enough to tell theirs, and that will help them become more open about their struggles. Hopefully, when they do, theyll realize theyre not alone.Northern Light Maine Coast HospitalTurning pages early: New program welcomes babies with their first library cardNorthern Light Maine Coast Hospital is proud to partner with the Ellsworth Public Library by launching Babys First Library Card, an initiative promoting early literacy and a lifelong love of reading. Beginning in May 2024, every baby born at our Dixon Family Birthing Center receives a welcome package that includes an age-appropriate book and an application for a complimentary library card from the Ellsworth Public Library, regardless of residency.This program, funded in memory of Melanie Zadoran avid hospital and library volunteerhonors her dedication to community enrichment through literacy. Our team is excited to support families in fostering early reading habits with their babies, shares Sarah Joy, director of Philanthropy for Northern Light Blue Hill and Maine Coast Hospitals. This collaboration is a meaningful way to celebrate Melanies legacy and connect families with valuable resources. The community resource is about more than books. I think its undersold because everyone thinks that the library is just to take out books and its not, explains Carrie Barnes, RN, Northern Light Maine Coast Hospital. There are so many other things the library offers like playgroups and reading time for moms and their kids. Its easy as a new parent to feel isolated, and these programs help keep them connected.Sarah Lesko, Ellsworth Library director adds, Reading is one of the most important skills we have in lifelong learning, so we are thrilled to partner with Northern Light Maine Coast Hospital to welcome our newest community members. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Mobile MammogramsDelivering care closer to home For many women in rural Maine, getting regular mammograms can be tough. They face long drives, limited transportation options, and, sometimes in Maine, you just cant get there from here. Thats why Northern Light CA Dean Hospital and Northern Light Mayo Hospital launched a mobile mammography unit, bringing high-quality breast cancer screenings directly to women who might otherwise go without.The mobile unit is one way Northern Light Health is improving access to healthcare. The most important reason for launching this mobile mammography unit is to reach women in rural communities who might otherwise not have access to their screening mammograms, explains Joann Lovell, director of Imaging at Northern Light CA Dean and Mayo Hospitals.The mobile unit h
