Part V, Line 4:The endowment funds are held and administered by Valley Health Systems, Inc. The intended use of the funds is to provide a predictable, stable, and consistent stream of earnings for Holyoke Medical Center, Inc. to be used for free care and general operations.
Part X, Line 2:The Medical Center is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Tax-exempt 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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (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. The Medical Center has evaluated the position taken on its filed tax returns. The Medical Center has concluded no uncertain income tax positions exist at September 30, 2024. The Medical Center's tax years from 2022 through 2024 are open and subject to examination.

Holyoke Medical Center, Inc.Part V, Section B, Line 5: Holyoke Medical Center has conducted formal and informal surveys each year to look at the health needs of the people we serve. In the first half of 2021, Holyoke Medical Center conducted a year long study that entailed key stakeholder interviews, community resident interviews, workshops, a lengthy survey given in English and Spanish, and data collection, which has been brought together to create the 2022 Holyoke Medical Center Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). The CHNA also determines how Holyoke Medical Center will provide support, resources and education to the communities we serve. A CHNA is a federal requirement for private, nonprofit hospitals and must be done every 3 years with input from the broader community including public health experts and collection of important health data. The 2022 CHNA was published by September 30, 2022, and therefore occurred within the tax year covered by the Hospital's 2021 Form 990. The complete CHNA, as well as the supplemental narratives included on this Form 990, Schedule H, Part VI, provide additional details regarding the Hospital's processes and procedures for gathering community input for its needs assessments.

Part VI, Line 2:Holyoke Medical Center conducts a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) of the community it serves every three years in conjunction with numerous agencies. As part of the CHNA, community meetings were held with numerous local agencies including Holyoke Housing Authority residents, Holyoke City Officials, Holyoke High and Dean Vocational High School students, Holyoke Medical Center (Valley Health Systems' staff members, including representatives from Holyoke Medical Center, River Valley Counseling Center and Holyoke Visiting Nurse Association), The Salvation Army Holyoke representatives, Lorraine's Soup Kitchen community members, and board members from the Chicopee Chamber of Commerce, House of Color LGBTQ+ Support Group staff and members of their group, Holyoke residents at Key Foods Grocery Store on three occasions and public school therapists. HMC Community Benefits maintains partnerships with many of these agencies throughout the year to continue to assess community needs. HMC conducted over 30 stakeholder interviews for its 2022 CHNA, which included meeting with two Council on Aging directors from Holyoke, Chicopee and South Hadley; Board of Health Directors from Holyoke, South Hadley, Chicopee and West Springfield; Holyoke's Mayor, Director of Planning and Economic Development, a City Councilor, and Chief of Police; the Holyoke Boys & Girls Club' Executive Director, Holyoke and South Hadley's Housing Authority, Holyoke Health Center's Chief Medical Officer, MA State Representative, Pat Duffy, MA State Senator, John Velis, Valley Opportunity Council, Lorraine's Soup Kitchen Executive Director, WestMass ElderCare, Action Ambulance, River Valley Counseling, OneHolyoke CDC, Holyoke Public Schools Superintendent, two of HMC's Nurse Navigation members, and the Community Benefits Advisory Committee which includes representatives from HMC, The Salvation Army, OneHolyoke CDC, Hampden County Sheriff's Department, HMC Behavioral Health, Holyoke Boys & Girls Club, Holyoke Health Center and River Valley Counseling Center, among others. In addition, as part of the CHNA process, HMC implemented a survey with over 60 questions in English and Spanish, among over 400 community members. These questions were developed with the Western Massachusetts Hospital Coalition so that all involved asked the same questions in the various communities they serve. This collaboration and consistency allows data to be shared and analyzed between the other Western Massachusetts hospitals so that solutions can be worked on regionally through the Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP). The results help to inform the Holyoke Medical Center's Strategic Implementation Plan and the type of programming to offer in the community to help address the needs identified. In addition to the CHNA, HMC uses the Thrive survey, a tool used to screen for social determinants of health. Based on the responses, providers are able to make referrals for those showing need in areas of housing, food, paying for medication, caring for a dependent, paying for utilities, domestic violence, and transportation. In 2022, HMC provided 13,000 THRIVE screenings and referred those in need to resources.HMC Community Benefits Director also participates in a variety of boards and committees to continually assess the needs of the community and create relationships with non-profit organizations for their feedback. These include the Greater Holyoke Chamber, Girls Inc. of the Valley, The Salvation Army, Hampden County Community Health Improvement Plan committee through Pioneer Valley Planning Authority - Community Team 4 Healthy and Active Living, Holyoke Food & Resources with State Representative, Pat Duffy, Holyoke High Dean Campus Program Advisory Committee, Let's Move Hampden County, 5210 committee, McKinney-Vento Homeless Coalition for Holyoke Public Schools, McKinney-Vento Homeless Coalition for Chicopee Public Schools, Safe Routes to School - Walking School Bus, School Community Health Advisory Council for Holyoke Public Schools, Westover Job Corps Community Relations Council and Western Mass Hospital Coalition. These meetings not only serve the respective organization's specific community, they also connect the hospital to many other community based organizations who are participants. In addition, other HMC staff participate in other committees and boards including the Greater Chicopee Chamber of Commerce, Holyoke Rotary, Holyoke HUB, and the Greater Holyoke YMCA to name a few. Key Objectives:The objective of Holyoke Medical Center's 2022 Community Health Needs Assessment was to: 1. Look at the 2019 findings and identify which key health issues and concerns remain the same for the residents in Holyoke Medical Center's primary service area. 2. Identify the vulnerable populations that are experiencing health disparities. 3. Look at other contributing factors that create barriers to living healthier lives.CHNA Conclusions: Holyoke Medical Center gathered comments put forward from the community and narrowed the list down to the top common priority areas from the community input. HMC also developed a set of principles to help determine our highest priorities and guide our decision-making process regarding community benefits. Holyoke Medical Center's goals are to: 1. Increase access to care centered on the Social Determinants of Health. 2. Serve vulnerable and underserved populations especially with chronic conditions. 3. Concentrate on the greatest level of community concern and most consistent with the organization's strengths.Significant Health Needs Identified in Order of Priority Include: Social and Economic Issues that Impact Health:- Transportation- Cultural awareness- Employment training for youth- Housing Security and HomelessnessAccess to Healthcare in the following areas:- Primary Care- Mental health services- Affordable medications- Assistance with finances and insurance- Educational resources- Food security- Affordable housingCommunication Assistance Needed to Improve Health Outcomes:- Understanding of Doctor's Instructions- Simplified terminology by providers for patients understanding- Instructions provided in preferred language (written and spoken)- Promotion of educational resources and support groups- Social Interactions for Seniors- Medication managementHealth:- Pain management- Substance use of drugs and alcohol- Mental health- Upper respiratory disease- Asthma- Obesity- Dementia and Alzheimer's- DiabetesVulnerable Populations:- Low income residents who lack access to healthcare- Residents that lack transportation- People who struggle with drug addiction/overdose challenges- Older adults especially with language barriers- Residents with chronic mental illness- Children in our target area- Homeless- Veterans- Spanish speaking families- People who are overweight or obese- Youth at RiskIt is important not to overlook the substantial contribution that the hospital makes to the community through our many educational programs, and our support of community events. HMC will continue to monitor these programs for their need and effectiveness in the community, and, working with our community partners, assess for gaps in the needs of the community that are not being filled.The 2022 CHNA was conducted using a social determinant of health framework as it is recognized that social and economic determinants of health contribute substantially to population health. It has been estimated that less than a third of our health is influenced by our genetics or biology. Our health is largely determined by the social, economic, cultural, and physical environments that we live in and the healthcare we receive.Among these "modifiable" factors that impact health, social and economic factors are estimated to have the greatest impact. The County Health Rankings model, developed by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute, estimates the extent to which these modifiable factors contribute to health based on reviews of the scientific literature and a synthesis of data from a number of national sources. It is estimated that social and economic factors account for (40%) of our health, followed by health behaviors (30%), clinical care (20%), and the physical environment (10%). Many health disparities occur as a result of inequities in these determinants of health.In addition to the community meetings, stakeholder meetings, and survey, HMC outsourced MySidewalk to help collect data from a large number of sources that include, USDA, US Census, local data and hospital data and helped HMC develop an online version of our CHNA that will be updated annually and not have to wait for three years for the next CHNA.(This narrative is continued later in the supplemental statements.)
Part VI, Line 3:1) General Principles:Holyoke Medical Center, Inc. or its agents will assist uninsured and underinsured patients with the process of applying for available financial assistance programs that may pay for some or all of their hospital bills. In order to help uninsured and underinsured patients find and apply for available financial assistance, HMC will provide all patients with a general notice of the availability of programs by way of posted notices throughout HMC and by way of individual notices to patients. The goal of these notices is to inform patients regarding the availability of financial assistance, as well as assistance with the application process. Holyoke Medical Center, Inc. will assist patients with the application process for the following Massachusetts programs: MassHealth, Commonwealth Care, CMSP, Healthy Start, Health Safety Net, and Medical Hardship through the Health Safety Net. Holyoke Medical Center, Inc. will provide, upon request, specific information about: (a) the eligibility criteria to be a low income patient under the Massachusetts Health Safety Net program or (b) additional financial assistance programs that HMC may in its discretion make available to low income patients from time-to-time. Holyoke Medical Center, Inc. will also notify the patient about available payment plans that may be available to them pursuant to HSN regulations.2) Role of Hospital Patient Financial Counselors and Other Finance Staff:Holyoke Medical Center, Inc. will attempt to identify available coverage options for patients who may be uninsured or underinsured when the patient is scheduling services, while the patient is at HMC, upon discharge and for a reasonable time following discharge. Holyoke Medical Center, Inc. will direct all patients seeking available coverage options to HMC's Patient Financial Counseling office for eligibility screening and assistance with the application process, including the application process for financial assistance programs that HMC may in its discretion make available to low income patients from time-to-time.Holyoke Medical Center, Inc. will also provide information on how to contact the appropriate staff within the hospital's Finance Department to verify the accuracy of the hospital bill or to dispute certain charges.3) Notification Practices:Holyoke Medical Center, Inc. will post a notice (signs) of availability of financial assistance in the following locations: a. Service delivery areas (e.g., inpatient, clinic, emergency department admission and/or registration areas); b. Patient financial counselor areas; c. Central admission/registration areas; and/or d. Business office areas that are open to patients.Posted signs will be clearly visible and legible to patients visiting these areas. The hospital will also include a notice about the availability of financial assistance in all initial bills.When a patient contacts the hospital, the hospital finance staff will attempt to identify if a patient qualifies for a public financial assistance program or a payment plan. A patient who is enrolled in a public financial assistance program (e.g., MassHealth or the Health Safety Net) may qualify for certain plans. Patients may also qualify for additional assistance based on the hospital's own internal criteria for financial assistance or qualify for coverage of services as a medical hardship based on the patient's documented income and allowable medical expenses.For cases in which the hospital is using the Virtual Gateway application, the hospital will assist the patient in completing the application for MassHealth, Commonwealth Care, Children's Medical Security Plan, Health Start, Health Safety Net, or other forms of financial assistance programs as they become part of the Virtual Gateway program.All signs and notices shall be translated into languages other than English if such language is primarily spoken by 10% or more of the residents in the hospital service area, which is based on the hospital admissions and/or discharge information.
Part VI, Line 4:The primary service area for Holyoke Medical Center includes the five communities of Holyoke, Chicopee, South Hadley, Westfield, and West Springfield, all of which are located in Hampden County and Hampshire Counties. The secondary service area of HMC includes Belchertown, Easthampton, Granby, and Southampton. The total population of the service area is over 180,000 people. The communities served are a mix of urban, suburban and rural. The median age in Hampden County is 39.4, while the median age in Hampshire County is 36.4. In Hampden County, there is a diverse population with 18.4% identifying as Black or African American, American Indian, Asian or a race besides White and 27% identifies as Hispanic or Latino. In Hampshire County, 12.4% of the population identifies as Black or African American, American Indian, Asian, or race besides White and 12.4% identifies as Hispanic or Latino. In Holyoke, more than half of the residents identify as Hispanic or Latino at 53.3% of the population. In Holyoke, 21% of homes do not have a vehicle vs. 11% of homes within HMC's primary service area and 12% of homes in Massachusetts. Public transit access is facilitated by the Pioneer Valley Transit Authority, which provides bus service to all of HMC's service area communities. Paratransit services are offered throughout the service area for people with disabilities within 3/4 mile of a fixed route. In addition, HMC provides free transportation through two shuttles within the city of Holyoke as well as door-to-door van service from areas not serviced by the shuttle. Economically, there is significant variation between communities in the HMC service area. The median income for the service area is $66,200, which is considerably less than the state's median income of $89,026. Within HMC's primary service area, 14% of the population live in poverty vs. 10% of the population in all of Massachusetts. On a community-level, there is wide variation, with Holyoke's median household income at $45,045 and nearby South Hadley's median household income at $82,987. In the service area, the overall percentage of those who pay more than 30% of their income for housing costs is 46% of rented homes and 23% of owned homes. Again, these figures vary within the service area, where 49% of renters and 25% owners in Holyoke are cost-burdened.
Part VI, Line 5:The impact of Holyoke Medical Center, Inc.'s (HMC) outreach efforts are evidenced by the fact that countless service agencies rely on HMC to ensure their own success. HMC conducts a triennial Community Health Needs Assessment which not only helps to guide the Strategic Implementation Plan and Community Benefits programming, but it is also used by internal departments and community partners as a resource for grant writing. Key accomplishments from the 2023 tax year include: 1. CHNA Completion and Continuation: In a past tax year, Holyoke Medical Center completed the triennial Community Health Needs Assessment, which provided key data and information about the challenges and opportunities heard through community engagement with residents and community leaders. This information continues to help guide the hospital's Strategic Implementation Plans, as well as to help us to serve those most in need. The Hospital continuously works to address the health needs identified in the CHNA and has outlined its strategies to do so in its 2020-2023 and 2023-2026 CHNA Implementation Plan reports. 2. Continued to strengthen overdose prevention strategies and provide treatment for substance use disorder: Holyoke Medical Center's Comprehensive Care Center provided outpatient treatment for individuals looking to reduce or stop substance use. Recovery coaches help to support individuals coming through the Emergency Department (ED) for substance misuse. 3. Utilization of Thrive Screening: Using this social determinants of health screening tool, Holyoke Medical Group providers are able to make referrals for those showing need in areas of housing, food, paying for medication, caring for a dependent, paying for utilities, domestic violence, and transportation. 4. Education: Both on site and in the community, education continued to be a priority for HMC. Health education continued in the community both remote and in-person during the year. HMC staff provided educational health workshops to area residents at senior centers, the public library, schools and non-profit organizations. In addition, HMC continued distribution of its newsletter, which included topics such as chronic disease management and prevention. Holyoke Medical Center also continued to support agencies that focus on educational needs for disadvantaged youth. Key education service statistics during the 2024 fiscal year included the following: - Over 200,000 educational magazines were distributed. - 2,160 visits from youth to school-based health clinics. - 699 individuals provided with financial counseling and financial literacy assistance. - 46,000 hours spent on educating and training nursing students and interns; 8,700 hours with nurse practitioners and physician assistant students; and another 1,100 hours with students aspiring to become physicians. 5. Holyoke Medical Center continued to address food insecurity and to help provide access to proper nutrition and food resources. During the 2024 fiscal year, the Hospital provided 2,950 meals, and the Hospital estimates that over 5,000 people attended the farmers markets held at the Medical Center. 6. Improving transportation and access to care remains a priority for the communities that Holyoke Medical Center serves. 11% of homes in HMC's primary service area and 21% of homes in Holyoke do not have a vehicle. To address this community challenge, the Hospital continued to provide transportation assistance and transit services, including the following in the 2024 fiscal year: - The operation of two community shuttles, which served over 16,000 patients. - The coordination of over 2,200 rideshares. - Valet parking assistance for 15,871 vehicles. - Door-to-door transportation services for more than 4,400 patients. 7. For patients whose preferred language is not English, there are many resources available. Over 90% of such patients use Spanish as their preferred language. American Sign Language and Polish are the second and third most frequently used language after Spanish at our campus. HMC's Interpreter Services in-house Spanish speaking Medical Interpreters are available seven days a week. Additionally, we have Language Mediators who are staff members with interpretive capabilities, serving primarily in their home department in several languages. HMC also has service contracts with two local interpretive companies. If an interpreter for a particular language is not available in person, we rely on an appropriate interpreter through several nationally recognized remote telephonic and video interpreting language company services. Further, the Community Outreach staff are readily available to offer bilingual information about our health services. Support groups and information sessions are usually bilingual in Spanish and English. We have the ability to support other languages. When someone is discharged from the hospital, there is also a Community Navigation team in the Call Center that follows up with the patient to make sure they understand the doctor's instructions and see if they need any additional help or resources. They routinely use telephonic interpreting services when they do not have the ability to communicate in the preferred language of the patient. During the 2024 fiscal year, HMC provided interpretive services in 39 languages across 40,000 unique patient encounters. 8. Family Services: Holyoke Medical Center is proud to offer support and services to families, including young children and mothers. For example, during the 2024 fiscal year, the Hospital: - Assisted 100 mothers going back to school to earn their HiSET while their babies received care through the HMC Family Care Center. - Participated in an Adopt-a-Family Initiative, where 434 employees of the Hospital helped to provide 141 children with over 500 gifts, donate over 60 grocery store gift cards, and support 51 families in the area. 9. Community Health Responses: Access to care, support resources, and drug and substance prevention and rehabilitation remain important public health issues in the Hospital's community. In response to these critical health concerns, during this 2024 fiscal year, the Hospital: - Provided 399 patients with in-home blood testing, who due to mobility issues would otherwise not be able to obtain such care. This amounted to 6,441 offsite blood draws, primarily assisting veterans. - Referred 47 accountable care organization patients to secure housing solutions. - Treated over 1,300 patients through HMC's addiction counseling services. 58% of these patients came through the ED, 19% of which were being seen in response to an overdose. Through these engagements HMC dispensed 788 doses of take-home naloxone to prevent lethal overdoses. - Provided 284 patients with uncompensated legal assistance.Through these efforts and more, Holyoke Medical Center remains committed to advancing the general health and wellbeing of its community.
