THE CHNA GATHERED INPUT FROM REPRESENTATIVES OF THE COMMUNITY BY CONDUCTING 30-MINUTE TELEPHONE HEALTH SURVEYS IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH BETWEEN MAY AND AUGUST 2015. 3,700 SURVEYS WERE CONDUCTED IN THE REGION WHICH CONSISTED OF COOK, DUPAGE AND LAKE COUNTIES, WITH 311 IN THE HOSPITAL'S SERVICE AREA. CAREFUL CONSIDERATION WAS TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THOSE PARTICIPATING IN THE SURVEY MIRRORED THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE COMMUNITY. THE SURVEY INSTRUMENT USED FOR THE STUDY IS BASED LARGELY ON THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION (CDC) BEHAVIORAL RISK FACTOR SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM (BRFSS), AS WELL AS VARIOUS OTHER PUBLIC HEALTH SURVEYS AND CUSTOMIZED QUESTIONS ADDRESSING GAPS IN INDICATOR DATA RELATIVE TO HEALTH PROMOTION AND DISEASE PREVENTION OBJECTIVES AND OTHER RECOGNIZED HEALTH ISSUES.

ISSUES ADDRESSED INCLUDED SELF-REPORTED HEALTH STATUS, PHYSICAL HEALTH STATUS, MENTAL HEALTH STATUS, DEATH AND DISABILITY, INFECTION AND CHRONIC DISEASE, BIRTHS, CHILDRENS HEALTH STATUS, MODIFIABLE HEALTH RISKS, ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE, HEALTH EDUCATION AND OUTREACH, AND HEALTH INFORMATION SOURCES. TO SOLICIT INPUT FROM KEY INFORMANTS, THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE A BROAD INTEREST IN THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY, AN ONLINE KEY INFORMANT SURVEY WAS IMPLEMENTED AS PART OF THE CHNA PROCESS. A LIST OF 22 RECOMMENDED PARTICIPANTS WAS PROVIDED TO MCHC; THIS LIST INCLUDED NAMES AND CONTACT INFORMATION FOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH EXPERTS, A COMMUNITY BUSINESS LEADER, COMMUNITY NURSES, ELECTED OFFICIALS, AN EMS COORDINATOR, HOSPITAL ER PHYSICIANS, FQHC REPRESENTATIVES, HOSPITAL COMMUNITY SERVICES STAFF, HOSPITAL SOCIAL WORKERS, SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES, TOWNSHIP GENERAL ASSISTANCE STAFF, AND VILLAGE HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES STAFF.

KEY INFORMANTS WERE CONTACTED BY EMAIL IN AUGUST 2015, INTRODUCING THE PURPOSE OF THE SURVEY AND PROVIDING A LINK TO TAKE THE SURVEY ONLINE; REMINDER EMAILS WERE SENT AS NEEDED TO INCREASE PARTICIPATION. IN ALL, 16 COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS TOOK PART IN THE ONLINE KEY INFORMANT SURVEY WHICH INCLUDED RESPONSES FROM THREE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH EXPERTS, ONE COMMUNITY BUSINESS LEADER, TWO COMMUNITY NURSES, ONE ELECTED OFFICIAL, ONE EMS COORDINATOR, TWO HOSPITAL ER PHYSICIANS, ONE HOSPITAL COMMUNITY SERVICES STAFF MEMBER, TWO SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES, TWO TOWNSHIP GENERAL ASSISTANCE DEPARTMENTS AND ONE VILLAGE HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT. THE ORGANIZATIONS REPRESENTED INCLUDED: NORTHWEST COMPASS, PARTNERS FOR OUR COMMUNITIES, VILLAGE OF ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, PALATINE AND WHEELING TOWNSHIPS, AND NORTHWEST COMMUNITY HEALTHCARE PHYSICIANS AND STAFF.

IN THE ONLINE SURVEY, KEY INFORMANTS WERE ASKED TO RATE THE DEGREE TO WHICH VARIOUS HEALTH ISSUES ARE A PROBLEM IN THEIR OWN COMMUNITY. FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS ASKED THEM TO DESCRIBE WHY THEY IDENTIFY PROBLEM AREAS AS SUCH, AND HOW THESE MIGHT BE BETTER ADDRESSED. RESULTS OF THEIR RATINGS, AS WELL AS THEIR VERBATIM COMMENTS, ARE INCLUDED THROUGHOUT THE CHNA REPORT AS THEY RELATE TO THE VARIOUS OTHER DATA COLLECTED.

SCHEDULE H - PART I, LINE 3C - CHARITY CARE POLICY	THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES EMERGENT AND MEDICALLY NECESSARY SERVICES TO ALL PATIENTS WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY. THE WRITTEN CHARITY CARE POLICY IS WIDELY DISTRIBUTED AND COMMUNICATED TO THE COMMUNITY UNDER THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. THE AMOUNT OF FREE CARE PROVIDED IS DETERMINED BY FINANCIAL NEED AND IS NOT LIMITED BY BUDGETED AMOUNTS. PATIENTS EARNING LESS THAN 300% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES RECEIVE FREE CARE AND THOSE BETWEEN 300% AND 600% OF THE GUIDELINES RECEIVE DISCOUNTED CARE ON A SLIDING SCALE. THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM LOOKS AT THE CURRENT INCOME AND THEN CALCULATES THE POTENTIAL BENEFIT. THE PATIENT'S LIABILITY IS CAPPED AT 25% OF THE FAMILY'S ANNUAL INCOME. Please see Schedule H Part V, Section B, Line 13H narrative for more detail.
SCHEDULE H - PART I, LINE 7 - FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE	THE FOLLOWING METHODOLOGIES WERE USED TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE TABLE FOR LINE 7: PART I, LINES 7A - 7D RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES WAS DETERMINED USING WORKSHEET 2 IN THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS. PART I, LINES 7E - 7I COSTS WERE DETERMINED USING THE DIRECT AND INDIRECT COSTS FOR SPECIFIC PROGRAMS OR SERVICES. THESE COSTS WERE MAINTAINED/IDENTIFIED IN THE HOSPITAL'S "COMMUNITY BENEFIT INVENTORY FOR SOCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY SOFTWARE" (CBISA). THE INDIRECT PORTION OF THESE COSTS WAS CALCULATED UTILIZING THE INDIRECT COST RATIO FROM THE HOSPITAL'S LATEST AVAILABLE MEDICARE COST REPORT. THIS "INDIRECT" RATIO WAS ENTERED INTO CBISA FOR THE CALCULATION OF INDIRECT COSTS. Part I, Line 7g SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES A MOBILE DENTAL CLINIC PROGRAM STAFFED BY A HOSPITAL-EMPLOYED FULL TIME DENTIST, DENTAL ASSISTANT AND PROGRAM MANAGER. EVIDENCE BASED RESEARCH DEMONSTRATES THAT GUM DISEASE AND ORAL HEALTH PROBLEMS ARE LINKED TO OTHER SYSTEMIC MEDICAL PROBLEMS SUCH AS CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE, STROKE, AND BACTERIAL PNEUMONIA, AS WELL AS INCREASED RISK OF DELIVERING PRE-TERM OR LOW BIRTH-WEIGHT BABIES. THE HOSPITAL, WITH FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM LOCAL TOWNSHIPS, PROVIDES PREVENTATIVE AND RESTORATIVE CARE TO UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY 4-5 DAYS PER WEEK IN A TRAVELING DENTAL CLINIC.

PART II - LINE 9 - WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT THE HOSPITAL HAS A PROGRAM TO ENCOURAGE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO EXPLORE CAREERS IN HEALTHCARE. THE FIRST PROGRAM PROVIDES LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEND 14 WEEKS IN THE HOSPITAL SHADOWING 16 DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B Line 15a & 15b - Comp. Determination	The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee") of Northwest Community Healthcare, which is the parent corporation of Northwest Community Hospital and who has idential board members as Northwest Community Healthcare, is responsible for preparing the total compensation paid to the Organization's senior executives (collectively, "Executives") to ensure that compensation paid to such Executives is reasonable and does not result in excessive and inappropriate benefit to private individuals. The Committee shall, on an annual basis, review and recommend to the Board for approval executive compensation consistent with the process described below. This process is intended to result in compensation decisions that are consistent with the Organizations fulfillment of its mission as set forth in the Organizations Articles of Incorporation, as well as the Organizations compensation philosophy and related principles set forth in this document. The Compensation philosophy is intended to result in the determination and payment of total compensation, including benefits, for Executives based on the following objectives: Compensation that is objectively fair and reasonable compared to similar executives at similar institutions; Compensation that contributes to the attraction and retention of qualified and talented individuals in Executive positions; Compensation that rewards the attainment of performance goals and expectations; and Compensation that reinforces the commitment to the Organizations mission, purpose and values. In assessing the reasonableness of an Executives total compensation, the Committee shall endeavor to set base salary at or near the market 60th percentile. The Committee shall target total compensation, including but not limited to, salary, any bonus or incentive payments and deferred and noncash compensation, as well as all compensatory benefits such as payments to medical, dental, life, annuity, retirement and disability benefit plans, and any fringe benefits such as housing, automobile, and computer allowances to approximate the market 75th percentile. The Committee shall conduct an annual performance review of the CEO, the results of which shall be used in determining a reasonable total compensation for him or her. The CEO will formulate a compensation recommendation for each Executive who reports to him or her. The CEO will present compensation recommendations based on an evaluation of each Executives job performance in accordance with criteria established by him or her. When reviewing or assessing the total compensation of any Executive, the Committee shall obtain sufficient information, taking into consideration the knowledge and expertise of its members, to determine whether total compensation of each Executive is reasonable (i.e., whether such compensation is comparable to that of similar executives at similar institutions). To assist in the determination of reasonable compensation, the Committee will select and engage a qualified independent compensation consultant ("Consultant") to annually review and analyze the total compensation, including benefits, of each Executive. The terms of the Consultant's engagement shall provide that the Consultant is to report to the Committee, and that the Consultant shall have no reporting responsibilities to any Executive with respect to any engagement in connection with the executive total compensation program. The Committee shall instruct the Consultant to compile appropriate comparability data, which may include compensation and benefits paid by similarly situated organizations for positions that are functionally comparable to those of each Executive. The Committee shall direct the Consultant to analyze a number of different variables in assessing comparability, including but not limited to organizational size, geographic location, the nature of the services provided, the level of experience and specific responsibilities of the position considered, and the components of the compensation offered. If a Consultant is retained, the Consultant should be directed to provide written analysis and recommendations with respect to a reasonable total compensation for each Executive. The Committee may additionally request that the Consultant be available to present a written analysis and recommendations and to take questions from Board or Committee members. In addition to the reports and analyses of the Consultant, the Committee shall also consider additional comparability data, including but not limited to: the availability of similar services in the geographic area, current compensation surveys compiled by independent firms, and actual written offers from similar institutions competing for services of the applicable Executive.
