AS PART OF ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC MEDICAL CENTER'S (ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC) COMMUNITY HEALTH STRATEGY, THE MEDICAL CENTER IS COMMITTED TO PROMOTING INITIATIVES THAT ENHANCE ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE FOR THE UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED. AN EXAMPLE OF THIS IS THE PROVISION OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC OFFERS A VERY GENEROUS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, REQUIRING NO PAYMENTS FROM THE PATIENTS MOST IN NEED, AND PROVIDING DISCOUNTS TO UNINSURED AND INSURED PATIENTS. FROM JANUARY 2019 TO MAY 2019, UNINSURED PATIENTS EARNING UP TO SIX TIMES THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL (FPL), AND INSURED PATIENTS EARNING UP TO FOUR TIMES THE FPL WERE ELIGIBLE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR A FULL OR PARTIAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DISCOUNT.

HEALTH LITERACY IS THE DEGREE TO WHICH AN INDIVIDUAL HAS THE CAPACITY TO OBTAIN, COMMUNICATE, PROCESS AND UNDERSTAND BASIC HEALTH INFORMATION AND SERVICES TO MAKE APPROPRIATE HEALTH DECISIONS. THE CHC INITIALLY RANKED THIS ISSUE FOURTH. THE MEDICAL CENTER'S DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION WORKGROUP IS SPEARHEADING WORK ON THIS ISSUE. SEVERAL ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC CHC MEMBERS SERVE ON THE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION WORKGROUP SO COORDINATION BETWEEN THE TWO GROUPS IS EASILY ACHIEVABLE. STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE INCLUDE INCREASING THE QUANTITY OF SPANISH LANGUAGE MATERIALS PRODUCED AND DISSEMINATED; THE LGBTQ TASKFORCE AND COMMUNITY ACTION COUNCIL; AND GREATER USE OF CASE MANAGERS AND COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS.

IN ADDITION, THE MEDICAL CENTER WORKS CLOSELY WITH THE ILLINOIS BREAST AND CERVICAL CANCER PROGRAM TO ENSURE THAT UNINSURED WOMEN HAVE ACCESS TO SCREENING AND TREATMENT FOR BREAST OR CERVICAL CANCER.

THESE SIX FOCUS AREAS INCLUDE: 1) ACCESS/BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES; 2) ACCESS/PRIMARY MEDICAL HOMES; 3) COMMUNITY SAFETY; 4) FOOD SECURITY; 5) HOUSING; AND 6) WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT.HEALTH NEEDS SELECTED HEALTHY LIFESTYLES/OBESITY. HEALTHY LIFESTYLES/OBESITY WAS CHOSEN AS ONE OF THE TWO HEALTH NEED PRIORITIES DUE TO THE MANY CHRONIC DISEASES AND HEALTH ISSUES THAT ARE RELATED TO POOR NUTRITION AND PHYSICAL INACTIVITY. MOREOVER, THE CHC ALSO IDENTIFIED HEALTHY LIFESTYLES AND OBESITY DUE TO THE LARGE IMPACT THIS ISSUE HAS ON QUALITY OF LIFE AND OVERALL HEALTH OUTCOMES IN THE MEDICAL CENTER'S PSA.BEHAVIORAL HEALTH. BEHAVIORAL HEALTH WAS SELECTED AS THE SECOND HEALTH PRIORITY. THIS HEALTH PRIORITY INCLUDES MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE/ALCOHOL USE. WITHIN THE MEDICAL CENTER'S PSA, THE RATE OF MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AND SUBSTANCE USE ARE CONTINUING TO INCREASE OVER TIME AND ARE HIGH WHEN COMPARED TO OTHER COMMUNITIES IN ILLINOIS. DATA AND HOSPITALIZATION RATES INDICATE THAT THERE IS A GREAT NEED FOR EXPANSION OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES, INCLUDING ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES, TREATMENT, HOUSING AND PROGRAMMING.

PART I, LINE 6A:	A SYSTEM-WIDE COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT IS FILED BY:ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE NETWORK 3075 HIGHLAND PARKWAY, DOWNERS GROVE, IL 60515. EIN 36-2167779
PART I, LINE 7:	A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO, DERIVED FROM SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS WORKSHEET 2, RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST-TO-CHARGES, WAS USED TO CALCULATE THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE TABLE FOR PART I, LINE 7A. SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS WORKSHEET 3, UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID AND OTHER MEANS-TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS, WAS USED TO CALCULATE THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE TABLE FOR PART I, LINE 7B. A COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM WAS USED TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE TABLE FOR PART I, LINES 7E, 7F, 7G, AND 7I.
PART I, LINE 7G:	ANSHN PROVIDES SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY. THESE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED DESPITE CREATING A FINANCIAL LOSS FOR ANSHN. THESE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BECAUSE THEY MEET AN IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY NEED. IF ANSHN DID NOT PROVIDE THE CLINICAL SERVICE, IT IS REASONABLE TO CONCLUDE THAT THESE SERVICES WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE TO THE COMMUNITY. THE SERVICES INCLUDED ARE BOTH INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT PROGRAMS FOR PEDIATRICS AND REHABILITATION SERVICES.
PART I, LN 7 COL(F):	$19,138,111 OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS INCLUDED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A), BUT WAS REMOVED FROM THE DENOMINATOR FOR PURPOSES OF SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN (F).
PART I, LINE 7E:	ADVOCATE NORTHSIDE HEALTH NETWORK PROVIDES COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENTSERVICES THAT TARGET IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY NEEDS, INCLUDING ACCESS, TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES WITHIN THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. THESE SERVICES AND PROGRAMS DO NOT GENERATE PATIENT BILLS, HOWEVER, THEY MAY HAVE NOMINAL FEES FOR PARTICIPATION, OR ARE ONLY PARTIALLY PAID THROUGH GRANTS, FOR WHICH THE REMAINING COST IS SUBSIDIZED BY ADVOCATE NORTHSIDE HEALTH NETWORK. COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE INVITED TO ATTEND SUPPORT GROUPS HELD THROUGHOUT THE YEAR TO ASSIST INDIVIDUALS IN MANAGING THEIR DISEASE, SUCH AS CANCER OR STROKE, TO IMPROVE THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE. "SIBSHOPS" SUPPORT GROUPS ARE PROVIDED FOCUSING ON CHILDREN THAT HAVE A SIBLING WITH A DISABILITY. COMMUNITY MEMBERS MAY ALSO ATTEND EDUCATIONAL CLASSES FOR WOMEN AND BABY, BREASTFEEDING, MULTIPLES, CHILDBIRTH AND PARENTING CLASSES. MANY EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS RAISE AWARENESS OF HEART DISEASE, STROKE, MENTAL ILLNESS/DEPRESSION, DIABETES, KIDNEY DISEASE, VARIOUS TYPES OF CANCER, INCONTINENCE, DIGESTIVE HEALTH, AND PROPER SELECTION AND INSTALLATION OF INFANT AND CHILD CAR SEATS, INCLUDING SAFETY CHECKS, AND FOOD LABEL READING TO IMPROVE NUTRITION. SOME CLASSES ARE OFFERED IN LANGUAGES OTHER THAN ENGLISH TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION BY NON-ENGLISH-SPEAKING COMMUNITY MEMBERS. IN ADDITION TO EDUCATION, MANY CLASSES INCLUDE HEALTH SCREENINGS TO DETERMINE AT-RISK INDIVIDUALS, INCLUDING REFERRALS TO PHYSICIANS FOR FOLLOW-UP CARE FOR THOSE WITH POOR TEST RESULTS. CPR TRAINING IS ALSO OFFERED TO THE COMMUNITY TO TEACH INDIVIDUALS TO RESPOND QUICKLY TO FAMILY MEMBERS AND OTHERS EXPERIENCING A HEALTH CRISIS. THERE ARE MANY ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS PROVIDED BY THE ANSHN FOR WHICH COSTS ARE SUBSIDIZED BUT THAT ARE ALREADY DESCRIBED ELSEWHERE IN THIS DOCUMENT, SUCH AS: THE SPECIAL NEEDS DENTISTRY PROGRAMS FOR LOW-INCOME, HOMELESS AND/OR DISABLED INDIVIDUALS; THE MEDICATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM FOR LOW-INCOME UNINSURED; MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID TO ENABLE COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO IDENTIFY SIGNS OF MENTAL ILLNESS IN OTHERS; SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH CENTERS; THE DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING PROGRAM PROVIDING ACCESS TO PSYCHIATRISTS; THE PEDIATRIC DEVELOPMENT CENTER FOR DEVELOPMENTALLY CHALLENGED CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS; AND THE MEDICALLY INTEGRATED CRISIS COMMUNITY SUPPORT PROGRAM PROVIDING THERAPEUTIC COMMUNITY-BASED CONTACTS TO ACUTELY-ILL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PATIENTS.
PART I, LINE 7H:	ANSHN CONDUCTS NUMEROUS RESEARCH ACTIVITIES FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF MEDICAL AND HEALTH CARE SERVICES. HOWEVER, THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF SUCH RESEARCH ACTIVITIES IS NOT READILY DETERMINABLE AND NO AMOUNT IS BEING REPORTED FOR PURPOSES OF THE 2019 FORM 990, SCHEDULE H.
PART III, LINE 4:	FOR 2019, FOR ANSHN, THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS COVERED 23.59% OF NET PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE STATED AT NET REALIZABLE VALUE. ANSHN EVALUATES THE COLLECTABILITY OF ITS ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE BASED ON THE LENGTH OF TIME THE RECEIVABLE IS OUTSTANDING, PAYER CLASS, HISTORICAL COLLECTION EXPERIENCE, AND TRENDS IN HEALTH CARE INSURANCE PROGRAMS. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE CHARGED TO THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS WHEN THEY ARE DEEMED UNCOLLECTIBLE.THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED IN DETERMINING THE AMOUNTS REPORTED ON LINES 2 AND 3 IS BASED ON THE RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES. THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF BAD DEBT WAS CALCULATED BY APPLYING THE ORGANIZATION'S COST TO CHARGE RATIO FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORTS (CMS 2252-96 WORKSHEET C, PART 1, PPS INPATIENT RATIOS) TO THE ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT PROVISION PER GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES, LESS ANY PATIENT OR THIRD PARTY PAYOR PAYMENTS RECEIVED.ADVOCATE MAKES EVERY EFFORT TO IDENTIFY THOSE PATIENTS WHO ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BY STRICTLY ADHERING TO ITS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. WE BELIEVE THAT ADVOCATE HAS A POPULATION OF PATIENTS WHO ARE UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED BUT WHO DO NOT COMPLETE THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION. THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE (AT COST) WHICH COULD BE REASONABLY ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WHO WOULD LIKELY QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, IF SUFFICIENT INFORMATION HAD BEEN AVAILABLE TO MAKE A DETERMINATION OF THEIR ELIGIBILITY, WAS BASED UPON SELF PAY PATIENT ACCOUNTS WHICH HAD AMOUNTS WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBTS. OUR METHOD WAS TO BEGIN WITH THE SELF-PAY PORTION OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE PROVISION. THE SELF PAY PORTION EXCLUDES THOSE PATIENTS WHO HAD FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATIONS PENDING AT THE TIME OF SERVICE. THIS COST WAS THEN REDUCED BY CHARGES IDENTIFIED AS TRUE BAD DEBT EXPENSE, INCLUDING COPAYS FOR PATIENTS WHO QUALIFIED FOR LESS THAN 100% FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO WAS THEN APPLIED TO THE REMAINING CHARGES, TO DETERMINE THE VALUE (AT COST) OF PATIENT ACCOUNTS THAT DID NOT COMPLETE FINANCIAL COUNSELING AND WERE ASSIGNED TO BAD DEBT. WE BELIEVE THIS PROCESS IS A REASONABLE BASIS FOR OUR ESTIMATE. AS WE ARE ONLY CONSIDERING SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT FOR THIS ESTIMATE, THIS ESTIMATE DOES NOT INCLUDE THE IMMEDIATE 25% DISCOUNT TO CHARGES WHICH IS APPLIED TO ALL SELF-PAY PATIENTS. IT ALSO DOES NOT INCLUDE ACCOUNT BALANCES OR CO-PAYS OF NON-SELF PAY ACCOUNTS WHICH ARE WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT WHEN THE PATIENT HAS NO OTHER FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO PAY THESE AMOUNTS AND THE PATIENT DOES NOT APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.BAD DEBT AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN EXCLUDED FROM OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFIT AMOUNTS REPORTED THROUGHOUT SCHEDULE H.
PART III, LINE 8:	IN 2019, NO SHORTFALL WAS REPORTED ON PART III, LINE 7. FOR ADVOCATE NORTHSIDE'S OPERATIONS, THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF MEDICARE WAS CALCULATED BY APPLYING THE ORGANIZATION'S COST TO CHARGE RATIO FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORTS (CMS 2252-96 WORKSHEET C, PART 1, PPS INPATIENT RATIOS) AND FOR NON-HOSPITAL OPERATIONS THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO CALCULATED ON WORKSHEET 2 RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES TO THE ORGANIZATION'S MEDICARE, LESS ANY PATIENT OR THIRD PARTY PAYOR PAYMENTS AND/OR CONTRIBUTIONS RECEIVED THAT WERE DESIGNATED FOR THE PAYMENT OF MEDICARE PATIENT BILLS.
PART III, LINE 9B:	ANSHN MAINTAINS BOTH WRITTEN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND BAD DEBT/COLLECTION POLICIES. THE BAD DEBT/COLLECTION POLICY DOES NOT APPLY TO THOSE PATIENTS KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE; THEREFORE SUCH PATIENTS ARE NOT SUBJECT TO COLLECTION PRACTICES.
PART VI, LINE 3:	ANSHN ASSISTS PATIENTS WITH ENROLLMENT IN GOVERNMENT-SUPPORTED PROGRAMS FOR WHICH THEY ARE ELIGIBLE AND IN SECURING REIMBURSEMENT FROM AVAILABLE THIRD-PARTY RESOURCES. FINANCIAL COUNSELING IS PROVIDED TO HELP PATIENTS IDENTIFY AND OBTAIN PAYMENT FROM THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING ILLINOIS MEDICAID, ILLINOIS CRIME VICTIMS FUND, ETC., AS WELL AS TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY UNDER ANSHN'S HOSPITAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. ADVOCATE UTILIZES A FINANCIAL SCREENING SOFTWARE PROGRAM TO HELP IDENTIFY PUBLIC ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS FOR WHICH THE PATIENT MAY BE ELIGIBLE OR ADVOCATE'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AT THE TIME OF REGISTRATION OR AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE THEREAFTER. IN ADDITION, HEALTHADVISOR, ADVOCATE'S EDUCATION REGISTRATION AND PHYSICIAN REFERRAL TELEPHONE CENTER, SERVES AS A COMMUNITY RESOURCE PROVIDING REFERRALS TO GOVERNMENT-FUNDED AND OTHER PROGRAMS VIA TELEPHONE FROM 7 A.M. TO 7 P.M., MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AND SATURDAYS 9 A.M. TO 2 P.M. ANSHN ASSISTS PATIENTS WITH APPLYING FOR ADVOCATE'S OWN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE SERVICES, IF PATIENTS ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR GOVERNMENT-SUPPORTED PROGRAMS. ANSHN COMMUNICATES THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN THE APPLICABLE LANGUAGES OF THE HOSPITAL COMMUNITY. MEANS OF COMMUNICATION INCLUDE:1. THE HEALTH CARE CONSENT THAT IS SIGNED UPON REGISTRATION FOR HOSPITAL SERVICES INCLUDES A STATEMENT THAT FINANCIAL COUNSELING, INCLUDING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE CONSIDERATION, IS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.2. SIGNS ARE CLEARLY AND CONSPICUOUSLY POSTED IN LOCATIONS THAT ARE VISIBLE TO THE PUBLIC, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO HOSPITAL PATIENT ACCESS, REGISTRATION, EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, CASHIER, AND BUSINESS OFFICE LOCATIONS.3. BROCHURES ARE PLACED IN HOSPITAL PATIENT ACCESS, REGISTRATION, EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, CASHIER, AND BUSINESS OFFICE LOCATIONS, AND WILL INCLUDE GUIDANCE ON HOW A PATIENT MAY APPLY FOR MEDICARE, MEDICAID, ALL KIDS, FAMILY CARE ETC., AND THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. A HOSPITAL CONTACT AND TELEPHONE NUMBER FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS INCLUDED.4. A HANDOUT SUMMARIZING ADVOCATE'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION IS GIVEN TO UNINSURED PATIENTS WHO RECEIVE MEDICALLY NECESSARY HOSPITAL SERVICES AT THE EARLIEST PRACTICAL TIME OF SERVICE.5. ADVOCATE'S WEBSITE POSTS NOTICE IN A PROMINENT PLACE THAT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE, WITH AN EXPLANATION OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION PROCESS, AND ENABLE PRINTING OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION.6. HOSPITAL BILLS TO UNINSURED PATIENTS INCLUDE A REQUEST THAT THE PATIENT INFORM THE HOSPITAL OF ANY AVAILABLE HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE, AND INCLUDE A SUMMARY OF ADVOCATE'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION, AND A TELEPHONE NUMBER TO REQUEST FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
PART VI, LINE 4:	DESCRIPTION OF THE COMMUNITY/POPULATION. FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE 2017-2019 CHNA, ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC DEFINES THE "COMMUNITY" AS ITS PSA. THE MEDICAL CENTER'S PSA CONSISTS OF 21 COMMUNITIES IN COOK COUNTY INCLUDING FORT DEARBORN (60610), NORTH CENTER (60613), LINCOLN PARK (60614), AVONDALE/NORTH CENTER (60618), WICKER PARK (60622), RAVENSWOOD (60625), ROGERS PARK (60626), JEFFERSON PARK (60630), DUNNING (60634), BELMONT CRAGIN (60639), UPTOWN (60640), IRVING PARK/PORTAGE PARK (60641), WICKER PARK (60642), AVALON PARK/NORTH (60645), LOGAN SQUARE (60647), DIVISION STREET (60651), LAKEVIEW (60657), WEST RIDGE (60659), ROGERS PARK (60660), OLD TOWN/NEAR NORTH SIDE (60610) AND ELMWOOD (60707 AND 60635). THE TOTAL POPULATION FOR THE PSA IS 1,186,360. THE POPULATION SLIGHTLY DECREASED BY 0.05 PERCENT FROM 2010 TO 2019. SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH (SDOH). ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC'S ASSESSMENT PROCESS UTILIZED THE CONDUENT HEALTHY COMMUNITIES INSTITUTE'S (HCI) SOCIONEEDS INDEX IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND THE SOCIAL CONTEXT THAT EXISTS IN THE DEFINED COMMUNITY THAT DEEPLY INFLUENCES HEALTH. THE SOCIONEEDS INDEX IS A CONDUENT HCI INDICATOR THAT IS A MEASURE OF SOCIOECONOMIC NEED, CORRELATED WITH POOR HEALTH OUTCOMES. THE INDEX IS CALCULATED FROM SIX INDICATORS, ONE EACH FROM THE FOLLOWING AREAS: POVERTY, INCOME, UNEMPLOYMENT, OCCUPATION, EDUCATION AND LANGUAGE. THE INDICATORS ARE WEIGHTED TO MAXIMIZE THE CORRELATION OF THE INDEX WITH PREMATURE DEATH RATES AND PREVENTABLE HOSPITALIZATION RATES. ALL ZIP CODES, COUNTIES, AND COUNTY EQUIVALENTS IN THE U.S. ARE GIVEN AN INDEX VALUE FROM 0 (LOW NEED) TO 100 (HIGH NEED). TO HELP IDENTIFY THE AREAS OF HIGHEST NEED WITHIN A DEFINED GEOGRAPHIC AREA, THE SELECTED ZIP CODES ARE RANKED FROM ONE (LOW NEED) TO FIVE (HIGH NEED) BASED ON THEIR INDEX VALUE. THESE VALUES ARE SORTED FROM LOW TO HIGH AND DIVIDED INTO FIVE RANKS. THESE RANKS ARE THEN USED TO COLOR THE ZIP CODES WITH THE HIGHEST SOCIONEEDS INDEXES WITH THE DARKER COLORS. THE MEDICAL CENTER HAS SEVERAL COMMUNITIES WITHIN THE PSA THAT HAVE GREATER SOCIOECONOMIC NEEDS COMPARED TO OTHER COMMUNITIES IN THE PSA. BELMONT CRAGIN AND HUMBOLDT PARK ARE THE PSA'S HIGHEST SOCIONEED COMMUNITIES AND ARE RANKED AS FIVES IN THE SOCIONEEDS INDEX MAP. THESE TWO COMMUNITIES EXPERIENCE HIGHER RATES OF CHRONIC DISEASE AND UNEMPLOYMENT, AND HAVE SOME OF THE LOWEST MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOMES IN THE PSA. DEMOGRAPHICSAGE. TWENTY-POINT-SEVEN PERCENT OF THE PSA IS UNDER THE AGE OF 18 YEARS OLD. THE 18-24-YEAR-OLD AGE GROUP IS THE SMALLEST GROUP AT 7.7 PERCENT, THE 25-64-YEAR-OLD AGE GROUP IS THE LARGEST AGE GROUP AT 60.04 PERCENT OF THE POPULATION, AND 11.56 PERCENT OF THE POPULATION IS OVER THE AGE OF 65.

THERE ARE 502,786 HOUSEHOLDS IN THE MEDICAL CENTER'S PSA AND THE AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD SIZE IS 2.32 PERSONS. THE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME FOR THE ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC'S PSA IS $71,593, WHICH IS $5,106 HIGHER THAN THE STATE'S AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD INCOME OF $66,487. THERE IS A RACIAL AND ETHNIC DISPARITY IN THE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME WITH THE WHITE POPULATION HAVING THE HIGHEST MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME OF $80,630, FOLLOWED BY THE ASIAN POPULATION AT $72,081 AND THE NATIVE HAWAIIAN/PACIFIC ISLANDER POPULATION AT $67,231. THE LOWEST HOUSEHOLD INCOMES ARE AMONG THE BLACK POPULATION AT $38,837, THE AMERICAN INDIAN/ALASKAN NATIVES AT $45,985, THE "OTHER RACE" POPULATION AT $49,933 AND THE HISPANIC/LATINO POPULATION AT $52,438.HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE.

ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE WAS ONE OF 12 FOUNDING AND SPONSORING HEALTH SYSTEMS OF THE NATIONAL HEALTHIER HOSPITALS INITIATIVE, WHICH HAS NOW BECOME A PERMANENT PROGRAM OF PRACTICE GREENHEALTH. THE HEALTHIER HOSPITALS PROGRAM ENGAGES OVER 1,300 HOSPITALS IN SIX KEY CATEGORIES OF HEALTH CARE SUSTAINABILITY: ENGAGED LEADERSHIP, HEALTHIER FOODS, LESS WASTE, LEANER ENERGY, SAFER CHEMICALS, AND SMARTER PURCHASING. ENROLLED HOSPITALS HAVE ACCOMPLISHED REDUCTIONS IN MEAT PURCHASING, INCREASED PURCHASING OF LOCAL AND SUSTAINABLE FOOD, REDUCED EXPOSURE TO TOXIC CHEMICALS THROUGH GREEN CLEANING PROGRAMS AND CONVERSION OF MEDICAL PRODUCTS FREE FROM PVC AND DEHP AND DECREASED ENERGY AND WASTE.

PART VI, LINE 6:	ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE (ILLINOIS) AND AURORA HEALTH CARE (WISCONSIN) MERGED IN 2018 TO BECOME ADVOCATE AURORA HEALTH. SOON THEREAFTER WORK BEGAN TO ALIGN THE COMMUNITY STRATEGIES OF BOTH PREDECESSOR ORGANIZATIONS. IN OCTOBER 2019, THE ADVOCATE AURORA BOARD APPROVED A COMMUNITY STRATEGY THAT WOULD SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONAL VALUES AND CONTINUE TO SUPPORT SYSTEM-WIDE PROGRAMS THAT ADDRESS THE HEALTH NEEDS OF PATIENTS, FAMILIES AND THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY ADVOCATE AURORA. GIVEN THAT ADVOCATE AND AURORA HAVE SEPARATE FEIN'S, THE NARRATIVE THAT FOLLOWS PRIMARILY DESCRIBES PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES PERTAINING TO ADVOCATE (AAH ILLINOIS). AS BACKGROUND, ADVOCATE AURORA HEALTH'S ILLINOIS HOSPITALS (ADVOCATE) ARE NOT-FOR-PROFIT AND ARE RELATED TO BOTH THE EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH IN AMERICA AND THE UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST. ADVOCATE'S BOARD, LEADERSHIP AND TEAM MEMBERS (STAFF/EMPLOYEES) ARE COMMITTED TO POSITIVELY AFFECTING THE HEALTH STATUS AND QUALITY OF LIFE OF INDIVIDUALS AND POPULATIONS IN COMMUNITIES SERVED BY THE ORGANIZATION THROUGH PROGRAMS AND PRACTICES THAT SUPPORT THE ADVOCATE AURORA VISION OF "WE HELP PEOPLE LIVE WELL." ADVOCATE AURORA'S SYSTEM LEADERSHIP HAS HISTORICALLY AND CURRENTLY DIRECTS AND SUPPORTS THE HOSPITALS IN THEIR EFFORTS TO ADDRESS IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS. IN 2016, A COMMUNITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT WAS DEVELOPED BY ADVOCATE, LED BY A SYSTEM EXECUTIVE AND STAFFED WITH PUBLIC/COMMUNITY HEALTH SPECIALISTS, TO EXECUTE COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENTS, EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT AND COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS WITHIN THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY ADVOCATE. PRIOR TO THIS TIME, THE COMMUNITY FACING FUNCTION WAS LED BY A TEAM OF ADVOCATE SYSTEM-LEVEL INDIVIDUALS WHOSE JOB RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDED VARIOUS COMMUNITY ROLES MORE CLOSELY ALIGNED WITH COMMUNITY RELATIONS. DURING THE INITIAL 2011-2013 CHNA CYCLE, ADVOCATE'S SYSTEM LEADERS PROVIDED OVERSIGHT AND SUPPORT TO THE HOSPITALS FOR DEVELOPING THEIR CHNAS AND SUBSEQUENT PROGRAMMING. IN 2016, ADVOCATE'S NEW COMMUNITY HEALTH TEAM CONDUCTED THEIR HOSPITAL COMPREHENSIVE CHNAS (2014-2016) AND POSTED GOVERNANCE-APPROVED CHNA REPORTS AND CHNA IMPLEMENTATION PLANS ON ADVOCATE'S WEBPAGE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT. FOLLOWING THE MERGER OF ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE AND AURORA HEALTH CARE IN 2018 AND BOARD APPROVAL OF THE NEW COMMUNITY STRATEGY IN 2019, ALL ADVOCATE HOSPITALS' COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPLEMENTATION PLANS ARE GUIDED BY THE AAH COMMUNITY STRATEGY. THROUGH THIS STRATEGY, WE WILL BUILD HEALTH EQUITY, ENSURE ACCESS AND IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES IN OUR COMMUNITIES THROUGH EVIDENCE-INFORMED SERVICES AND INNOVATIVE PARTNERSHIPS BY ADDRESSING MEDICAL NEEDS AND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS. BASED ON NEED AND EFFECT ON HEALTH EQUITY, AS IDENTIFIED IN ADVOCATE AURORA'S 27 HOSPITAL CHNA REPORTS AND IN INDUSTRY LITERATURE, ADVOCATE PRIORITIZED THE FOLLOWING SIX FOCUS AREAS ON WHICH THE INDIVIDUAL HOSPITAL COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPLEMENTATION PLANS ARE BUILT AND SUPPORT, INCLUDING: 1) ACCESS/PRIMARY MEDICAL HOMES; 2) ACCESS/ BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES; 3) COMMUNITY SAFETY; 4) WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT; 5) AFFORDABLE HOUSING; AND 6) FOOD SECURITY.ADVOCATE'S BOARD, SYSTEM LEADERSHIP AND TEAM MEMBERS ARE FULLY ENGAGED IN PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES THAT SUPPORT SYSTEM AND SITE EFFORTS IN ACHIEVING MILESTONES IN EACH OF THESE COMMUNITY STRATEGY FOCUS AREAS. EXAMPLES OF AFFILIATED SYSTEM PROGRAMS/SERVICES THAT ALIGN WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S COMMUNITY STRATEGY AND SUPPORT EFFORTS TO ADDRESS THESE KEY FOCUS AREAS ARE PROVIDED IN THE FOLLOWING NARRATIVE.1.

THROUGH THIS COMMUNITY STRATEGY, THE MEDICAL CENTER WILL BUILD HEALTH EQUITY, ENSURE ACCESS AND IMPROVE HEALTH OUCOMES IN ITS COMMUNITY THROUGH EVIDENCE-INFORMED SERVICES AND INNOVATIVE PARTHERSHIPS BY ADDRESSING MEDICAL NEEDS AND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS. BASED ON NEED AND EFFECT ON HEALTH EQUITY AS IDENTIFIED IN THE AAH HOSPITALS CHNA REPORTS AND ON INDUSTRY LITERATURE, THE FOLLOWING SIX FOCUS AREAS HAVE BEEN PRIORITIZED, FROM WHICH EACH INDIVIDUAL AAH HOSPITALS' COMMUNITY IMPLEMENATION PLAN IS BUILT: 1) ACCESS TO PRIMARY MEDICAL HOMES; 2) ACCESS TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES; 3) WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT; 4) COMMUNITY SAFETY; 5) AFFORDABLE HOUSING; AND 6) WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT. EACH STRATEG FOCUS AREA AND EXAMPLES OF ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC PROGRAMS ADDRESSING IT ARE PROVIDED BELOW. 1. ACCESS/PRIMARY MEDICAL HOMES. ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC IS COMMITTED TO UNDERTAKING AND SUPPORTING INITIATIVES THAT ENHANCE ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE, INCLUDING NOT ONLY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AS INDICATED EARLIER FOR ITEM 4.A, BUT ALSO CARE COORDINATION, LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE, CULTURALLY SENSITIVE PROVISION OF CARE, AND PREVENTION EDUCATION AND WELLNESS SERVICES ACROSS THE LIFESPAN AND WITHIN THE DIVERSE COMMUNITIES THE MEDICAL CENTER SERVES. SOME OF EXAMPLES OF SUCH PROGRAMS PROVIDED BY THE MEDICAL CENTER INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING. TRANSITION SUPPORT PROGRAM. THE TRANSITION SUPPORT PROGRAM (TSP) IS A NAVIGATION SERVICE THAT ASSISTS WITH THE COORDINATION OF FOLLOW-UP CARE FOR PATIENTS WITH CHALLENGES NAVIGATING HEALTH SERVICES. PRIOR TO THE PROJECT, ADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC'S COMMUNITY HEALTH COUNCIL IDENTIFIED CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT AS A KEY HEALTH DISPARITY FOR ITS PRIMARY SERVICE AREA.

BY PROVIDING STRENGTH-BUILDING AND CULTURALLY- AND LINGUISTICALLY COMPETENT NAVIGATION OF A COMPLEX HEALTH CARE SYSTEM, THE TSP AIMS TO REDUCE READMISSIONS AND EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS AND IMPROVE CARE TRANSITIONS ACROSS THE CONTINUUM FOR PATIENTS AND FAMILIES, REGARDLESS OF INSURANCE OR CIRCUMSTANCE.

SPECIAL NEEDS PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES MAY OVERLOOK ESSENTIAL DENTAL CARE IN THE FACE OF MORE URGENT HEALTH NEEDS. MANY DENTISTS LACK THE TRAINING, RESOURCES AND/OR SUPPLIES NEEDED TO EFFECTIVELY SERVE SPECIAL NEEDS PATIENTS AND, AS A RESULT, MANY PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES LACK ACCESS TO EVEN BASIC ROUTINE DENTAL CARE. PATIENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS ALSO MAY NOT UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR DENTAL CARE OR COOPERATE WHILE A DENTIST TRIES TO EXAMINE THE MOUTH AND TEETH. IN ADDITION, TO TREATING PATIENTS IN THE DENTAL CENTER, THE SPECIAL NEEDS DENTISTRY PROGRAM PROVIDES OUTREACH SCREENING SERVICES AT SITES THAT SUPPORT PERSONS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES.

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS CONTINUED:	2. ACCESS/BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICESADVOCATE ILLINOIS MASONIC HAS ALSO IMPLEMENED SEVERAL PROGRAMS FOCUSED ON IMPROVING THE CONTINUUM OF CARE FOR THE BENEFIT OF MENTAL HEALTH AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PATIENTS.
