INPUT FROM PERSONS WHO REPRESENT THE COMMUNITY	SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5 IN MARCH OF 2016, STURDY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL UNDERTOOK ITS SECOND COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) TO EVALUATE THE HEALTH NEEDS OF INDIVIDUALS LIVING IN THE HOSPITALS SERVICE AREA. THE AIM OF THE ASSESSMENT WAS TO REINFORCE STURDYS COMMITMENT TO THE HEALTH OF ITS RESIDENTS AND ALIGN ITS HEALTH PREVENTION EFFORTS WITH THE COMMUNITYS GREATEST NEEDS. THE ASSESSMENT EXAMINED A VARIETY OF HEALTH INDICATORS, INCLUDING CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS, ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE AND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. STURDY CONTRACTED WITH HOLLERAN CONSULTING, A RESEARCH FIRM BASED IN LANCASTER, PA, TO EXECUTE THIS PROJECT. THE FIRM COLLECTED AND INTERPRETED DATA FROM SECONDARY DATA SOURCES AND KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS. WITH THIS DATA THEY PREPARED REPORTS RELEVANT TO THE FINDINGS. THE COMPLETION OF THE CHNA ENABLED STURDY TO TAKE AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT ITS COMMUNITY. THE FINDINGS FROM THE ASSESSMENT WERE UTILIZED BY THE HOSPITAL TO PRIORITIZE PUBLIC HEALTH NEEDS AND DEVELOP A COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOCUSED ON MEETING THE IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY NEEDS. STURDY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL IS COMMITTED TO THE PEOPLE IT SERVES AND THE COMMUNITIES WHERE THEY RESIDE. HEALTHY COMMUNITIES LEAD TO LOWER HEALTH CARE COSTS, ROBUST COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS, AND AN OVERALL ENHANCED QUALITY OF LIFE. THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHNA WAS COMPRISED OF BOTH QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE RESEARCH COMPONENTS. A BRIEF SYNOPSIS OF THE RESEARCH COMPONENTS IS AS FOLLOWS; A STATISTICAL SECONDARY DATA PROFILE UTILIZED EXISTING DATA FROM LOCAL AND NATIONAL SOURCES DEPICTING POPULATION AND HOUSEHOLD STATISTICS, EDUCATION AND ECONOMIC MEASURES, MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY RATES, INCIDENCE RATES, AND OTHER HEALTH STATISTICS FOR THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SERVICE AREAS, OR BRISTOL AND NORFOLK COUNTIES, WERE COMPILED AND COMPARED TO STATE AND NATIONAL LEVEL DATA, WHERE APPLICABLE. KEY INFORMANT SURVEYS WERE CONDUCTED WITH A TOTAL OF 58 KEY INFORMANTS IN APRIL 2016. KEY INFORMANTS WERE DEFINED AS COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS WITH EXPERT KNOWLEDGE, INCLUDING PUBLIC HEALTH AND HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS, SOCIAL SERVICE PROVIDERS, NON-PROFIT LEADERS, BUSINESS LEADERS, FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATIONS, AND OTHER COMMUNITY LEADERS. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND FEEDBACK WERE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE CHNA PROCESS. STURDY SOUGHT COMMUNITY INPUT THROUGH KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS WITH COMMUNITY LEADERS AND PARTNERS AS WELL AS THE INCLUSION OF COMMUNITY LEADERS IN THE PRIORITIZATION AND IMPLEMENTATION PLANNING PROCESS. PUBLIC HEALTH AND HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS SHARED KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE ABOUT HEALTH ISSUES, WHILE LEADERS AND REPRESENTATIVES OF NON-PROFIT AND COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS PROVIDED INSIGHT ON THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING THE MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED, LOW INCOME, AND MINORITY POPULATIONS. STURDY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, IN CONJUNCTION WITH COMMUNITY LEADERS, EXAMINED THE FINDINGS OF THE SECONDARY DATA AND KEY INFORMANT SURVEYS TO IDENTIFY AND PRIORITIZE KEY COMMUNITY HEALTH ISSUES. THE ISSUES THAT WERE IDENTIFIED INCLUDE; CANCER, DIABETES, MENTAL HEALTH INCLUDING SUICIDE, OVERWEIGHT & OBESITY, AND SUBSTANCE & ALCOHOL ABUSE. IN ADDITION TO THE IDENTIFIED PRIORITIZED NEEDS, KEY INFORMANTS WERE ALSO ASKED WHETHER THEY THOUGHT THERE ARE SPECIFIC POPULATIONS WHO ARE NOT BEING ADEQUATELY SERVED BY LOCAL HEALTH SERVICES. THE RESPONDENTS WERE PRACTICALLY SPLIT ON THIS ISSUE WITH LESS THAN HALF OF KEY INFORMANTS (46.6%) FEELING THERE ARE UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS IN THE COMMUNITY. OF THOSE KEY INFORMANTS WHO FELT THERE ARE UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS IN THE COMMUNITY, THE MAJORITY RANKED LOW-INCOME/POOR, HOMELESS, AND UNINSURED/UNDERINSURED AS THE TOP THREE POPULATION GROUPS THAT ARE UNDERSERVED. IN ADDITION, NEARLY THREE QUARTERS OF KEY INFORMANTS INDICATED THE HOSPITALS EMERGENCY CARE CENTER AS A PRIMARY PLACE WHERE UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED INDIVIDUALS GO WHEN THEY ARE IN NEED OF MEDICAL CARE.

A VITAL COMPONENT OF GOOD HEALTH CARE IS TO MAKE SURE PATIENTS ARE CONNECTED TO A PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN. STURDY DEDICATES HUMAN AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO ENSURE PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITIES HAVE ACCESS TO CARE AND REGULARLY PROMOTES ITS FREE PHYSICIAN REFERRAL SERVICE. INFORMATION IS GIVEN TO PATIENTS IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT WHO DO NOT HAVE A REGULAR PHYSICIAN, TO FACILITATE THEIR FOLLOW UP CARE AND ENCOURAGE REGULAR, GOOD CARE VS. EPISODIC, EXPENSIVE EMERGENCY CARE. INPATIENTS HAVE FOLLOW UP PHYSICIAN APPOINTMENTS MADE BY MEMBERS OF OUR STAFF BEFORE BEING DISCHARGED WHEN APPROPRIATE. WE CONTINUED AN INITIATIVE TO BOLSTER EFFORTS RELATED TO DIABETES MANAGEMENT WHICH INCLUDED CONTINUATION OF OUR INPATIENT GLYCEMIC CONTROL PROTOCOL WITH NURSING, INTERNAL MEDICINE, HOSPITALIST, AND PHARMACY STAFF TO IMPROVE OUTCOMES RELATED TO GLYCEMIC CONTROL BY ENSURING APPROPRIATE DOSING AND MONITORING AND BETTER MONITORING IN THE PHYSICIANS OFFICES.

WE CONTINUED TO OFFER NUMEROUS SUPPORT GROUPS AND HEALTH SCREENINGS; ENCOURAGED PATIENTS AGE 50+ WHO HAVE NOT HAD SCREENING COLONOSCOPIES TO DO SO; DEDICATED CERTIFIED FINANCIAL COUNSELORS TO ASSIST IN CONNECTING PEOPLE TO LOW OR NO COST HEALTH INSURANCE UNDER HEALTH CARE REFORM; AND ENSURED OUR PHYSICIANS WHO WORK WITH TEENS AND YOUNG ADULTS SCREEN FOR AND ADDRESS DRUG AND ALCOHOL USE, AND DEPRESSION. UNDERSTANDING THAT THE HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY REQUIRES STRONG COLLABORATION, LAST YEAR THE HOSPITAL PROUDLY ACCEPTED A LEADERSHIP ROLE IN THE NEWLY FORMED HEALTHY LIVING CONSORTIUM, A COMMUNITY IMPACT CONSORTIUM DEVELOPED BY THE YMCA. THE CONTINUED GOALS OF THIS CONSORTIUM AND ITS MEMBERS IS TO IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN RELATION TO BARRIERS THAT PREVENT THEM FROM LIVING A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. AREAS OF EARLY FOCUS INCLUDE CHILDHOOD AND ADULT OBESITY AND ADDRESSING THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC. THE INITIAL FOCUS OF THE CONSORTIUMS EFFORTS HAVE BEEN ATTLEBORO AND NORTON, WITH PLANS TO EXTEND TO OUR OTHER COMMUNITIES AS INITIATIVES ARE DEVELOPED AND SUCCESSES ACHIEVED. THE FIRST INITIATIVE WAS A PILOT PROGRAM CALLED "CHOOSE H2O". THE PILOT WAS LAUNCHED AT BRENNAN MIDDLE SCHOOL IN ATTLEBORO, MASSACHUSETTS WHERE STUDENTS TOOK ON THE CHALLENGE TO DRINK MORE WATER AND LESS OF SUGARY DRINKS, SUCH AS SODA. THE "CHOOSE H2O" INITIATIVE ENCOURAGES YOUNG PEOPLE TO REDUCE THEIR INTAKE OF EMPTY CALORIES BY DRINKING WATER INSTEAD OF UNHEALTHY BEVERAGES AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE TO REDUCE THE RATE OF OBESITY AND DIABETES. PROMOTED BY THE SCHOOL DEPARTMENT AND DELIVERED BY THE ATTLEBORO AREA HEALTHY LIVING CONSORTIUM, THE INITIATIVE IS IN RESPONSE TO A SURVEY THAT FOUND 32 PERCENT OF MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS IN ATTLEBORO ARE OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE. THE PROGRAM IS EXPECTED TO EXPAND TO OTHER MIDDLE SCHOOLS IN ATTLEBORO AND NORTON. THE CONSORTIUM WAS ABLE TO PURCHASE WATER BOTTLES FOR ALL THE STUDENTS AND INSTALLED QUICK STYLE FILL-UP STATIONS THAT FILL THE BOTTLES WITH WATER IN JUST SEVEN SECONDS. STURDY ENGAGED IN MORE THAN 100 INITIATIVES RELATED TO ITS FY 2018 COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN.

STURDY CONTINUED TO TAKE A LEADERSHIP ROLE TO EDUCATE OUR STAFF AND AREA MUNICIPALITIES REGARDING THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING A WELL-COORDINATED APPROACH TO LOCAL AND REGIONAL DISASTER MANAGEMENT AND OVERALL PUBLIC SAFETY. SEE MANY OF STURDYS COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT ACTIVITIES FOR FY 2018 AT WWW.STURDYMEMORIAL.ORG, WHICH CONTAINS A LINK TO THE HOSPITAL'S ANNUAL REPORT, COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN. FOUR EXAMPLES OF INITIATIVES UNDERTAKEN: FREE SUPPORT GROUPS ARE OFFERED ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS THAT INCLUDE; PROSTATE CANCER SUPPORT GROUP, PREGNANCY AND INFANT LOSS SUPPORT GROUP, FRIENDS AND FAMILY OF PATIENTS WITH CANCER SUPPORT GROUP, CANCER SUPPORT GROUP, BREATHING CLUB (RESPIRATORY CARE), DIABETES SUPPORT GROUP, OSTOMY SUPPORT, LYMPHEDEMA SUPPORT GROUP, STROKE SUPPORT GROUP, AND OTHERS. STURDY INVESTS OVER $100,000 IN THESE PROGRAMS. STURDY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL HOSTS AN ANNUAL CANCER SURVIVORS DAY EVENT AT NO COST TO ITS PARTICIPANTS.

THE CAMPAIGN FOCUSES ON THE EDUCATION OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS ABOUT THE NEED TO ACT F.A.S.T. (FACE DROPPING, ARM WEAKNESS, SPEECH DIFFICULTY, TIME TO CALL 911) WHEN STROKE SYMPTOMS ARE SUSPECTED. STURDY INVESTED APPROXIMATELY $3,000 ON THE CAMPAIGN. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY FOR YOUTH REMAINS A TOP PRIORITY AS DEMONSTRATED THROUGH OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ATTLEBORO YMCA ON ITS ANNUAL YOUTH STEP CHALLENGE, INVESTING APPROXIMATELY $4,000. STURDY ALSO WORKED WITH HOCKOMOCK YMCAS AND STURDY CHILD CARE PHYSICIANS USING A "PRESCRIPTION" TO PROMOTE THE CONCEPT OF MOVING MORE AND EATING LESS.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS CALCULATION	SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7 LINES 7A/B/C WERE CALCULATED USING WORKSHEETS 1, 2, AND 3 PROVIDED IN THE INSTRUCTIONS. LINES 7E/F/H/I WERE CALCULATED BY USING EXPENSES AND REVENUES FROM THE GENERAL LEDGER. ADDITIONALLY, WHERE EMPLOYEE LABOR WAS INCLUDED, THE NUMBER OF HOURS SPENT ON EACH PROGRAM WAS MULTIPLIED BY A STANDARD RATE (DIRECT COST) PLUS A BENEFIT FACTOR (INDIRECT COST). LINE 7G: NET LOSSES FOR BOTH THE MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS CENTER AND CARDIAC/PULMONARY REHAB WERE CALCULATED USING DEPARTMENT SPECIFIC COST TO CHARGE RATIOS (CCRS) FROM A MODIFIED (TO ISOLATE THE DEPARTMENTS ON INDIVIDUAL LINES) MEDICARE COST REPORT AND DEPARTMENT SPECIFIC PAYMENT PERCENTAGES (PAFS). THE REPORTED NET LOSS FOR EACH SERVICES EQUALS THE SUM OF THE NET REVENUE FOR ALL PAYERS (GROSS DEPARTMENT CHARGES FOR EACH PAYER MULTIPLIED BY THE PAYER SPECIFIC PAF) LESS THE COST OF PROVIDING THE SERVICES (TOTAL GROSS DEPARTMENT CHARGES MULTIPLIED BY THE DEPARTMENT SPECIFIC CCR). THE NET LOSS FOR MATERNAL CHILD HEALTH SERVICE WAS CALCULATED USING THE IMPLIED COST TO CHARGE RATION (CCR) FOR THE OBSTETRICS SERVICE AND THE NEWBORN SERVICE FROM THE STATE REQUIRED COST REPORT. (THE STATE COST REPORT BETTER CAPTURES THE OBSTETRICS SERVICE THAN THE MEDICARE COST REPORT WHERE OBSTETRICS IS GROUPED WITH THE MED/SURG FLOORS AND SEPARATED FROM THE "ANCILLARY SERVICE" OF DELIVERIES.) THE IMPLIED CCR IS CALCULATED USING THE TOTAL SERVICE COSTS DIVIDED BY THE TOTAL SERVICE CHARGES. THE REPORTED NET CONTRIBUTION EQUALS THE SUM OF THE NET REVENUE FOR ALL PAYERS (GROSS SERVICE CHARGES FOR EACH PAYER MULTIPLIED BY THE SERVICE AND PAYER SPECIFIC PAF) LESS THE COST OF PROVIDING THE SERVICES (TOTAL GROSS DEPARTMENT CHARGES MULTIPLIED BY THE DEPARTMENT SPECIFIC CCR). NET CONTRIBUTIONS FOR OBSTETRICS AND THE NEWBORN HOSPITAL STAY ARE CALCULATED SEPARATELY. THE NET LOSS FOR THE DIABETES EDUCATION SERVICE IS SIMPLY THE NET REVENUE FOR THE DIABETES EDUCATION SERVICE LESS THE SALARY AND BENEFIT COST OF THE NURSES WHO PROVIDE THE SERVICE. THE NET LOSS FOR THE WELLNESS MANAGEMENT PROGRAM IS THE NET REVENUE FOR THESES SERVICE LESS THE EMPLOYEE SALARY AND BENEFIT COST OF THE PHYSICIANS AND NURSES AND OTHER DIRECT COSTS OF THE DEPARTMENT.
COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES	SCHEDULE H, PART II STURDY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL PARTICIPATES IN A NUMBER OF COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES. THREE PROGRAMS RUN EACH YEAR ARE SUMMARIZED BELOW. THREE TIMES ANNUALLY THE HOSPITAL ORGANIZES AN EDUCATIONAL LUNCHEON FOR HEALTH AGENTS OR NURSES IN AND AROUND OUR SERVICE. TOPICS FOCUS ON PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUES SURROUNDING OUR COMMUNITY. SPEAKERS ARE BOTH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL AND VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME TO PRESENT. INVITATIONS ARE EXTENDED TO 22 HEALTH AGENTS FROM ORGANIZATIONS LOCATED IN; ATTLEBORO, CHEST CLINIC-DIGHTON, EASTON, FOXBORO, MANSFIELD, N. ATTLEBORO NORTON, PLAINVILLE, REHOBOTH, SEEKONK, SHARON, AND WRENTHAM. BEGINNING IN FY 2016 THE HOSPITAL ACCEPTED A LEADERSHIP ROLE IN THE NEWLY FORMED HEALTHY LIVING CONSORTIUM, A COMMUNITY IMPACT CONSORTIUM DEVELOPED BY THE YMCA. THE COLLECTIVE GOAL OF THIS CONSORTIUM AND ITS MEMBERS IS TO IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN RELATION TO BARRIERS THAT PREVENT THEM FROM LIVING A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. AREAS OF EARLY FOCUS INCLUDE CHILDHOOD AND ADULT OBESITY AND ADDRESSING THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC. THE INITIAL FOCUS OF THE CONSORTIUMS EFFORTS WILL BE ON ATTLEBORO AND NORTON, WITH PLANS TO EXTEND TO OUR OTHER COMMUNITIES AS INITIATIVES ARE DEVELOPED AND SUCCESSES ACHIEVED. THE HOSPITAL SPONSORS A PROGRAM ANNUALLY TO REMOVE USED SHARPS FROM OUR SERVICE AREAS. DROP OFF SITES ARE IDENTIFIED IN THE TOWNS AND COMMUNICATED TO THE RESIDENTS. AT THE COST OF THE HOSPITAL, THE SHARPS ARE PICKED UP AND REMOVED FROM THE COMMUNITIES. THE PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE ALL YEAR.
BAD DEBT EXPENSE	Schedule H, Part III, Lines 2, 3, and 4 Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts. In evaluating the collect-ability of accounts receivable, the Hospital analyzes its past history and identifies trends for each of its major payor sources of revenue to estimate the appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts and provision for bad debts. Management regularly reviews data about these major payor sources of revenue in evaluating the sufficiency of the allowance for doubtful accounts. For receivables associated with services provided to patients who have third-party coverage, the Hospital analyzes contractually due amounts and provides an allowance for doubtful accounts and a provision for bad debts, if necessary (for example, for expected non-collectible deductibles and co-payments on accounts for which the third-party payor has not yet paid, or for payors who are known to be having financial difficulties that make the realization of amounts due unlikely). For receivables associated with self-pay patients (which includes both patients without insurance and patients with deductibles and co-payment balances due), the Hospital records a provision for bad debts in the period of service on the basis of its past experience, which indicates that many patients are unable or unwilling to pay the portion of their bill for which they are financially responsible. The difference between the standard rates (or the discounted rates if negotiated) and the amounts actually collected after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted is charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts.
SHORTFALL TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT	SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 8 THE SHORTFALL EXPERIENCED BY THE HOSPITAL FROM PROVIDING CARE TO MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES SHOULD BE TREATED AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS IT REPRESENTS THE HOSPITAL'S CONTRIBUTION TO PROVIDING CARE TO MEDICARE ELIGIBLE CITIZENS OF THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES BEYOND THE AMOUNT IT RECEIVES FROM THE MEDICARE PROGRAM. THIS CONTRIBUTION IS CONSISTENT WITH THE HOSPITAL'S OVERALL CHARITABLE MISSION TO PROVIDE CARE TO ALL INDIVIDUALS, REGARDLESS OF THE LEVEL OF PAYMENT RECEIVED FOR PROVIDING THAT CARE. THE HOSPITAL'S MEDICARE COST REPORT WAS USED TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON LINE 6.
DEBT COLLECTION POLICY	SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 9B THE HOSPITAL'S COLLECTION POLICY CONTAINS PROCEDURES TO BE FOLLOWED FOR PATIENTS WHO ARE KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ONCE IT IS DETERMINED THAT A PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR FREE CARE, ALL COLLECTION PROCEDURES CEASE AND THE FULL BALANCE IS WRITTEN OFF. IF THE PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR PARTIAL FREE CARE, THE AMOUNT THAT QUALIFIES UNDER PARTIAL FREE CARE IS WRITTEN OFF AND THE REMAINING BALANCE IS SUBJECT TO NORMAL COLLECTION PROCEDURES. MASSACHUSETTS HOSPITALS ARE REQUIRED TO ADOPT CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICIES. STATE REGULATIONS (101 CMR 613.00) OUTLINE THE SPECIFIC PROCESS FOR DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY FOR PUBLIC ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS AND HOSPITAL COLLECTION PRACTICES. THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES PATIENTS WITH INFORMATION ABOUT FREE CARE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE HOSPITAL (A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF WHICH IS COORDINATED THROUGH THE STATE'S HEALTH SAFETY NET PROGRAM, AS WELL AS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS, SUCH AS MASSHEALTH AND COMMONWEALTH CARE, THAT ARE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE MASSACHUSETTS EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES. THE HOSPITAL EMPLOYS TWO FULL-TIME FINANCIAL COUNSELORS THAT ASSIST PATIENTS, AND ANYONE ELSE PRESENTING WHO REQUIRES ASSISTANCE, IN APPLYING FOR FREE CARE AND STATE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS THROUGH THE STATE'S UNIFORM APPLICATION. THE HOSPITAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY AND BILLING & COLLECTION POLICY, THAT OUTLINES ITS CHARITY CARE PRACTICES, IS FILED WITH THE MASSACHUSETTS CENTER FOR HEALTH INFORMATION AND ANALYSIS AND ALSO AVAILABLE TO PATIENTS UPON REQUEST.
COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT	SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 2 WITH GUIDANCE AND OVERSIGHT FROM THE HOSPITAL'S 13 MEMBER PLANNING COMMITTEE, STURDY'S COMMUNITY BENEFITS REPORT IS DEVELOPED TO REFLECT ON ACTIVITIES FROM THE PRIOR YEAR AND PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE HOSPITAL'S FOCUS ON COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT FOR THE SUBSEQUENT YEAR. COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLANNING IS INTEGRATED INTO STURDY'S ANNUAL PLANNING AND BUDGETING PROCESSES TO ENSURE WE EFFECTIVELY SUPPORT COMMUNITY BENEFITS PROGRAMMING. STURDY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL IS INVOLVED IN ONGOING ASSESSMENT OF THE HEALTH NEEDS IN OUR COMMUNITIES AND PARTICIPATES IN A NUMBER OF COMMUNITY BASED PROGRAMS. CONTINUALLY BEING ENGAGED IN AND FAMILIAR WITH OUR COMMUNITIES PROVIDES US WITH OPPORTUNITIES TO IDENTIFY HEALTH ISSUES OF GREATEST CONCERN TO OUR CARE PROVIDERS AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS, AND CONSIDER COMMITTING BUDGETED RESOURCES TO THOSE AREAS, IF APPROPRIATE, TO GUIDE EFFORTS TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH AND WELLNESS. AT THE CORE OF STURDY'S COMMUNITY BENEFITS ACTIVITIES AND PLANNING ARE THE HOSPITAL'S STATEMENT OF PURPOSE, AND COMMUNITY BENEFITS MISSION. STURDY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL IS DEDICATED TO PROVIDING SAFE, HIGH QUALITY, COST EFFICIENT HEALTH CARE AND THE BROADEST RANGE OF DIAGNOSTIC, INPATIENT, OUTPATIENT, AND EMERGENCY SERVICES APPROPRIATE FOR A COMMUNITY HOSPITAL.
