COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT	COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT - INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(R)INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(R), ENACTED AS PART OF THE PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT (ACA), REQUIRES EACH HOSPITAL TO COMPLETE A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) AND TO FORMALLY ADOPT AN IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY PURSUANT TO FEDERAL GUIDELINES, IN ORDER MAINTAIN ITS TAX EXEMPT STATUS AS A HOSPITAL UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE (IRC) OF 1986, AS AMENDED. NEBH COMPLETED ITS MOST RECENT NEEDS ASSESSMENT DURING THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2016. THAT CHNA WAS APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES IN SEPTEMBER 2016. THE ACCOMPANYING IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY FOR THE MOST RECENT CHNA WAS ALSO APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES IN SEPTEMBER 2016 WHICH IS WITHIN THE TIMELINE REQUIRED BY THE TREASURY REGULATIONS UNDER IRC SECTION 501(R). THE PREVIOUS NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND ACCOMPANYING IMPLEMENTATION PLAN WERE APPROVED BY THE NEBH BOARD OF TRUSTEES IN SEPTEMBER 2013 AND INFORMED NEBH'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROCESS FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2014, SEPTEMBER 30, 2015 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2016. AS SUCH, THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND ACTIVITIES INCLUDED IN THIS FILING RELATE TO THE DOCUMENTS APPROVED AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2013. DURING ITS FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 (TAX YEAR 2012), NEBH CONDUCTED A COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT FOCUSING ON THE MISSION HILL AND ROXBURY NEIGHBORHOODS IN BOSTON WHICH, AS PREVIOUSLY NOTED, ARE THE HOSPITAL'S PRIMARY COMMUNITY BENEFITS SERVICE AREAS. THE OVERALL GOAL OF THE ASSESSMENT WAS TO COMPILE INFORMATION FROM A RANGE OF QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE SOURCES TO CLARIFY THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS AND PRIORITIES OF COMMUNITY RESIDENTS AND ASSESS THE OVERALL STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF THE HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICE SYSTEMS. THE PROJECT ALSO FULFILLED BOTH THE COMMONWEALTH ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE AND FEDERAL INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE (IRS) REGULATIONS THAT REQUIRE THAT THE HOSPITAL ASSESS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS, ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY, IDENTIFY PRIORITY HEALTH ISSUES, AND CREATE A COMMUNITY HEALTH STRATEGY THAT DESCRIBES HOW THE HOSPITAL, IN COLLABORATION WITH THE COMMUNITY AND LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT, WOULD ADDRESS THE NEEDS AND THE PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED BY THE ASSESSMENT. AS NOTED BELOW, THE 2016 CHNA PROCESS WAS BORNE FROM THE SAME COMMITMENTS AND WITH THE SAME GOALS. THE 2013 CHNA CONCLUDED THAT THE MOST SIGNIFICANT HEALTH-RELATED ISSUE FACING THE COMMUNITIES SURROUNDING NEBH WERE THE BROADER SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC DETERMINANTS, INCLUDING, POVERTY, UNEMPLOYMENT, FOOD INSECURITY, VIOLENCE AND TRANSPORTATION. IN ADDITION TO THIS UNDERLYING PRIORITY, ISSUES RELATED TO OBESITY, LACK OF PHYSICAL EXERCISE, AND POOR NUTRITION AS WELL AS THE CHRONIC DISEASES THAT ARE OFTEN ASSOCIATED WITH THESE FACTORS WERE SEEN AS ANOTHER PRIORITY. IN ADDITION, ISSUES RELATED TO OLDER ADULT HEALTH, SUCH AS GENERAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS, FALLS PREVENTION, ISOLATION/DEPRESSION, OSTEOPOROSIS, CHRONIC DISEASE, WERE ALSO IDENTIFIED AS A PRIORITY. THE CHNA CONDUCTED DURING THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2016, SIMILARLY FOCUSED ON THE BOSTON NEIGHBORHOODS OF MISSION HILL AND ROXBURY, WHICH AS NOTED ABOVE, ARE NEBH'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREA WITH RESPECT TO ITS COMMUNITY BENEFIT INITIATIVES. AS REQUIRED UNDER THE LAW, THE OVERALL GOAL OF THE ASSESSMENT WAS TO COMPILE INFORMATION FROM A RANGE OF QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE SOURCES TO CLARIFY THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS AND PRIORITIES OF COMMUNITY RESIDENTS AND ASSESS THE OVERALL STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF THE AREA'S HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICE SYSTEMS. ULTIMATELY, THE PURPOSE OF THE ASSESSMENT WAS TO FACILITATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A STRATEGIC PLAN/IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY THAT WOULD GUIDE HOW NEBH WILL WORK WITH STAKEHOLDERS IN MISSION HILL AND ROXBURY TO STRENGTHEN THE COMMUNITY AND IMPROVE HEALTH STATUS DURING THE FISCAL YEARS ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2017, SEPTEMBER 30, 2018 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2019.THE IDENTIFIED NEEDS IN THE CHNA WHICH WILL INFORM NEBH'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT OPERATIONS FOR THE NEXT THREE FISCAL YEARS AS NOTED ABOVE ARE: MUSCULOSKELETAL HEALTH, OBESITY PREVENTION, VIOLENCE PREVENTION, WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, ELDER ISOLATION, ACCESS TO HEALTHY AFFORDABLE FOOD, FOOD INSECURITY/HUNGER AND MOBILITY AND TRANSPORTATION FOR THE ELDERLY AS WELL AS IMPROVING THE HEALTH, FUNCTION, AND QUALITY OF LIFE OF OLDER ADULTS. AS NOTED ABOVE, ACCOMPLISHMENTS RELATED TO THESE IDENTIFIED NEEDS WILL BE REPORTED IN THE HOSPITAL'S 2016 FORM 990 SCHEDULE H. COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT - COMMUNITY INFORMATIONAS NOTED ABOVE, THE TWO MOST RECENT COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS CONDUCTED BY NEBH FOCUSED ON THE MISSION HILL AND ROXBURY NEIGHBORHOODS IN BOSTON WHICH, AS PREVIOUSLY NOTED, ARE THE HOSPITAL'S PRIMARY COMMUNITY BENEFITS SERVICE AREAS. (SCHEDULE H PART VI QUESTION 4)
COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT -- APPROACH AND METHODS	NEBH IS COMMITTED TO COLLABORATING WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND RESIDENTS FROM ACROSS BOSTON TO IDENTIFY AREAS OF SPECIAL NEED AND IMPROVE THE OVERALL HEALTH OF THE REGION. NEBH WORKS WITH ALL SEGMENTS OF THE POPULATION BUT IN RECOGNITION OF ITS STRONG TIES TO ITS SURROUNDING COMMUNITY AND ITS SPECIFIC CLINICAL EXPERTISE, NEBH FOCUSES ITS COMMUNITY BENEFIT EFFORTS ON IMPROVING THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF THE LOW INCOME, UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS LIVING IN MISSION HILL AND ROXBURY AND ON MUSCULOSKELETAL HEALTH. NEBH CURRENTLY OPERATES NUMEROUS EDUCATIONAL, OUTREACH, AND COMMUNITY-STRENGTHENING INITIATIVES, COLLABORATES WITH MANY OF THE COMMUNITY'S LEADING SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS. THE HOSPITAL CONTRIBUTES OVER $2.0 MILLION ANNUALLY TO SUPPORT ITS COMMUNITY BENEFIT COMMITMENTS AND THE MASSACHUSETTS UNCOMPENSATED CARE POOL. NEBH IS ALWAYS EAGER TO EXPLORE WAYS THAT IT CAN FURTHER ENGAGE AND ENRICH ITS CONNECTIONS TO THE COMMUNITY.THE 2013 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND ASSOCIATED COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN WERE THE CULMINATION OF SEVERAL MONTHS OF WORK. THIS PROJECT WAS BORNE LARGELY OUT OF NEBH'S DESIRE TO BETTER UNDERSTAND AND ADDRESS THE HEALTH-RELATED NEEDS OF THOSE LIVING IN ITS SURROUNDING COMMUNITY. THE PROCESS IS ALSO DESIGNED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE MASSACHUSETTS ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE AND FEDERAL INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE (IRS) REQUIREMENTS UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(R), WHICH MANDATE THAT ALL NONPROFIT HOSPITALS CONDUCT A PERIODIC COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) AND STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS. THE COMMONWEALTH REQUIRES NONPROFIT HOSPITALS AND MANAGED CARE ORGANIZATIONS TO UPDATE THEIR CHNAS EVERY YEAR AND THE IRS REQUIRES THAT A CHNA BE CONDUCTED EVERY THREE YEARS. MORE SPECIFICALLY, THE COMMONWEALTH AND IRS REGULATIONS REQUIRE THAT NEBH ASSESS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEED, ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY, IDENTIFY PRIORITY HEALTH ISSUES, AND CREATE A COMMUNITY HEALTH STRATEGY THAT DESCRIBES HOW THE HOSPITAL, IN COLLABORATION WITH THE COMMUNITY AND LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT, WILL ADDRESS THE NEEDS AND THE PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED BY THE ASSESSMENT.IN LIGHT OF THESE REQUIREMENTS, NEBH HIRED JOHN SNOW, INC. (JSI), A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED PUBLIC HEALTH CONSULTING FIRM, TO CONDUCT A COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT FOCUSING ON MISSION HILL AND ROXBURY, ITS PRIMARY SERVICE AREA WITH RESPECT TO ITS COMMUNITY BENEFIT INITIATIVES. THE OVERALL GOAL OF THE ASSESSMENT WAS TO COMPILE INFORMATION FROM A RANGE OF QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE SOURCES TO CLARIFY THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS AND PRIORITIES OF COMMUNITY RESIDENTS AND ASSESS THE OVERALL STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF THE AREA'S HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICE SYSTEMS. THE CHNA PROCESS WAS CONDUCTED IN THREE PHASES:- PHASE I: THE JSI PROJECT TEAM CONDUCTED A PRELIMINARY NEEDS ASSESSMENT THAT RELIED HEAVILY ON QUANTITATIVE HEALTH-RELATED DATA DRAWN FROM THE MASSACHUSETTS COMMUNITY HEALTH INFORMATION PROFILE (MASSCHIP) SYSTEM AS WELL AS OTHER NATIONAL, STATE, AND LOCAL SOURCES. THESE DATA ALLOWED THE JSI PROJECT TEAM TO UNDERSTAND THE UNDERLYING CHARACTERISTICS OF AREA RESIDENTS AND IDENTIFY THE SPECIFIC SEGMENTS OF THE COMMUNITY MOST AT-RISK. - PHASE II: JSI CONDUCTED A SERIES OF INTERVIEWS WITH KEY STAKEHOLDERS AND TWO FOCUS GROUPS WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS. THE FOCUS GROUPS HELPED THE JSI PROJECT TEAM TO ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY AND BETTER UNDERSTAND THEIR HEALTH STATUS, HEALTH-SEEKING BEHAVIORS, SERVICE GAPS, HEALTH-RELATED CHALLENGES, AND PRIORITIES. - PHASE III: CHRISTINE DWYER, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS, AND BETH GREENSPAN, VICE PRESIDENT, CHIEF STRATEGY OFFICER, WORKED WITH JSI TO INTEGRATE THE CHNA'S FINDINGS, INCLUDING FEEDBACK FROM NEBH STAFF AND THE COMMUNITY, AND DEVELOPED NEBH'S COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN. IN PHASE III, JSI ALSO DEVELOPED A FINAL CHNA REPORT, OBTAINED APPROVAL FOR ITS COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN FROM NEBH'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES, AND DISSEMINATED THE RESULTS OF THE PROJECT TO INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL STAKEHOLDERS.THE CHNA UTILIZED A PARTICIPATORY, COLLABORATIVE APPROACH TO LOOK AT HEALTH IN ITS BROADEST CONTEXT. AS NOTED ABOVE, THE ASSESSMENT PROCESS INCLUDED SYNTHESIZING EXISTING DATA ON SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, AND HEALTH INDICATORS IN THE REGION AS WELL AS INFORMATION FROM COMMUNITY DIALOGUES CONDUCTED WITH COMMUNITY RESIDENTS, AND INTERVIEWS WITH COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS. (SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 5). NEBH CONDUCTED THIS CHNA PROCESS INDEPENDENTLY AS REPORTED IN (SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTIONS 6A AND 6B). THE 2016 CHNA AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY PROCESS WAS BORNE FROM THE SAME COMMITMENTS AND WITH THE SAME GOALS AND WILL GUIDE HOW NEBH WILL WORK WITH STAKEHOLDERS IN MISSION HILL AND ROXBURY TO STRENGTHEN THE COMMUNITY AND IMPROVE HEALTH STATUS DURING THE FISCAL YEARS ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2017, SEPTEMBER 30, 2018 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2019.
2013 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT - SUMMARY OF FINDINGS	THE FOLLOWING ARE KEY FINDINGS RELATED TO COMMUNITY CHARACTERISTICS AND THE DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH FOR NEBH'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT SERVICE AREA. SINCE MISSION HILL IS THE DOMINANT GEOGRAPHY IN NEBH'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT SERVICE AREA, THE FOCUS OF THIS SUMMARY IS ON MISSION HILL AS COMPARED TO ROXBURY AND BOSTON OVERALL.- AGE: MISSION HILL'S POPULATION HAS LARGER PROPORTIONS OF OLDER ADULTS (65+) AND SMALLER PROPORTIONS OF CHILDREN (<18) THAN THE POPULATIONS IN ROXBURY AND BOSTON OVERALL. WITH RESPECT TO AGE, THE MOST STRIKING FINDING IS THE EXTREMELY LARGE PROPORTION OF YOUNG ADULTS (COLLEGE STUDENTS) THAT RESIDE IN MISSION HILL COMPARED TO ROXBURY AND BOSTON OVERALL, WHICH SKEWS THE AGE DISTRIBUTION. MORE THAN 40% (40.2%) OF MISSION HILL'S POPULATION IS BETWEEN 18 AND 24 YEARS OLD, COMPARED TO 16.4 FOR ROXBURY AND 19.0% FOR BOSTON OVERALL.- RACE/ETHNICITY, FOREIGN BORN STATUS, AND LANGUAGE: THE PROPORTION OF RACIAL/ETHNIC MINORITY POPULATIONS IN MISSION HILL IS HIGH RELATIVE TO THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS OVERALL BUT MIRRORS THE PROPORTIONS IN BOTH ROXBURY AND BOSTON OVERALL. HOWEVER, THE SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE RACIAL/ETHNIC MINORITY POPULATION IN MISSION HILL ARE VERY DIFFERENT. IN MISSION HILL THERE ARE MUCH LARGER PERCENTAGES OF ASIAN RESIDENTS AND SMALLER PROPORTIONS OF AFRICAN AMERICAN AND HISPANIC RESIDENTS COMPARED TO ROXBURY. ACROSS MISSION HILL, ROXBURY, AND BOSTON OVERALL, MORE THAN ONE-THIRD OF THE POPULATIONS ARE FOREIGN BORN AND MORE THAN ONE-THIRD OF THE POPULATIONS SPEAK A LANGUAGE OTHER THAN ENGLISH AT HOME. THERE ARE CLEAR AND WELL-RECOGNIZED HEALTH DISPARITIES AMONG RACIAL/ETHNIC MINORITY AND FOREIGN POPULATIONS COMPARED TO THE MAJORITY NON-HISPANIC WHITE POPULATION. IN ADDITION, THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT HEALTH LITERACY ISSUES AMONG RACIAL/ETHNIC MINORITIES, PARTICULARLY WITH FOREIGN-BORN POPULATIONS AND FOR THOSE WITH LIMITED ABILITY TO SPEAK ENGLISH. - INCOME/POVERTY: LARGE PROPORTIONS OF THE POPULATIONS IN MISSION HILL AND ROXBURY LIVE IN POVERTY (< 100% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL - FPL) OR LOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS (< 200% FPL) AND STRUGGLE TO PAY FOR FOOD AND OTHER BASIC HOUSEHOLD ITEMS. IN MISSION HILL 39% OF THE HOUSEHOLDS ARE LIVING IN POVERTY, COMPARED TO 35% IN ROXBURY, AND 21% IN BOSTON OVERALL. THE SIGNIFICANT AND NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF POVERTY WERE ALSO DISCUSSED IN NEARLY ALL OF INTERVIEWS AND IN EACH FOCUS GROUP. THE MISSION HILL FIGURES ARE SOMEWHAT SKEWED BY THE LARGE NUMBERS OF COLLEGE STUDENTS THAT LIVE IN THE AREA AND DO NOT HAVE A REGULAR INCOME. IF THESE YOUNG ADULTS LIVING IN NON-FAMILY HOUSEHOLDS ARE TAKEN OUT OF THE ANALYSIS, MISSION HILL FAIRS SLIGHTLY BETTER THAN ROXBURY. HOWEVER, POVERTY AND ITS IMPACTS ARE STILL MAJOR ISSUE FOR MISSION HILL'S FAMILIES AND OTHER MORE PERMANENT RESIDENTS. - EDUCATION: COMPARED TO BOSTON, RESIDENTS OF MISSION HILL ARE LESS LIKELY TO HAVE A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA. COMPARED TO ROXBURY, HOWEVER, MISSION HILL RESIDENTS ARE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA. ONCE AGAIN, THIS DATA IS SKEWED BY THE HIGH NUMBER OF TRANSIENT YOUNG ADULT RESIDENTS WHO ATTEND BOSTON'S MANY UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES AND LIVE IN MISSION HILL.- LACK OF EMPLOYMENT, THE ECONOMIC DOWNTURN, AND ITS IMPACTS: WHILE MISSION HILL RESIDENTS APPEAR BETTER OFF THAN RESIDENTS OF ROXBURY ON THIS ISSUE, A LARGE PROPORTION OF THE MISSION HILL POPULATION ARE EITHER UNEMPLOYED OR DO NOT CONSIDER THEMSELVES PART OF THE WORKFORCE. THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IN MISSION HILL FOR PEOPLE OVER THE AGE OF 16 YEARS OLD IS JUST 8.1%, COMPARED TO 16.5% IN ROXBURY AND 10.2% IN BOSTON OVERALL. HOWEVER, IN ORDER TO GET A CLEAR PICTURE OF THIS ISSUE ONE MUST ALSO CONSIDER THE NUMBER AND PROPORTION OF THE POPULATION WHO DO NOT CONSIDER THEMSELVES PART OF THE WORKFORCE. IN MISSION HILL NEARLY 40% (5,873) OF THE 16-YEAR-OLD-AND-OVER POPULATION DOES NOT CONSIDER ITSELF TO BE PART OF LABOR FORCE, WHICH MEANS THAT 41% (5,873) OF THE TOTAL POPULATION IS NOT EMPLOYED. VIEWED IN THIS MANNER, MISSION HILL IS STILL BETTER OFF THAN ROXBURY BUT NOT NEARLY TO THE EXTENT THAT UNEMPLOYMENT FIGURES ALONE SUGGEST. IN ROXBURY, 51% (17,837) OF THE POPULATION IS NOT EMPLOYED AND IN BOSTON OVERALL THE FIGURE, NOT SURPRISINGLY, IS MUCH LOWER AT 38% (199,006). UNEMPLOYMENT AND THE IMPACT THAT THE ECONOMIC DOWNTURN HAS HAD ON THE MISSION HILL COMMUNITY OVER THE PAST 3-5 YEARS WAS ONE OF THE DOMINANT, IF NOT THE MOST DOMINANT, THEMES IN THE INTERVIEWS AND FOCUS GROUPS. LACK OF EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR MISSION HILL'S YOUTH AND ADULTS HAS GREATLY IMPACTED THEIR ABILITY TO PROVIDE FOOD AND OTHER BASIC HOUSEHOLD ITEMS, TO SAY NOTHING OF OTHER COMFORTS THAT MANY TAKE FOR GRANTED. THESE ISSUES HAVE ALSO IMPACTED PEOPLE'S EMOTIONAL HEALTH AND LED TO ISOLATION, PARTICULARLY FOR OLDER ADULTS ON LIMITED FIXED INCOMES. CERTAINLY, POVERTY, UNEMPLOYMENT, ISOLATION, AND EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING ARE IMPORTANT DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH AND WELLNESS. - FOOD INSECURITY: ANOTHER DOMINANT THEME FROM THE INTERVIEWS AND FOCUS GROUPS WAS THE LACK OF ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE, HEALTHY FOODS. INTERVIEWEES AND FOCUS GROUP PARTICIPANTS DISCUSSED THE FACT THAT THERE ARE FEW PLACES FOR RESIDENTS OF MISSION HILL AND ROXBURY TO BUY REASONABLY PRICED FRESH VEGETABLES AND OTHER NUTRITIONAL FOODS. PARTICIPANTS ALSO SPOKE OF THE HIGH PRICES AND LACK OF FRESH VEGETABLES AT THE LARGE, LOCAL GROCERY STORES IN THE AREA AND THE LONG DISTANCES THAT THEY HAD TO TRAVEL TO ACCESS MORE AFFORDABLE HEALTHY FOOD OPTIONS.- TRANSPORTATION: GIVEN THE STEEP AND HILLY LANDSCAPE OF MISSION HILL, TRANSPORTATION WAS SEEN AS A MAJOR BARRIER AND DETERMINANT OF HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. LACK OF TRANSPORTATION WAS A LEADING THEME FROM THE ASSESSMENT INTERVIEWEES AND FOCUS GROUP PARTICIPANTS, ESPECIALLY FOR OLDER ADULT AND LOW-INCOME RESIDENTS LACKING A PERSONAL VEHICLE. INTERVIEWEES AND FOCUS GROUP PARTICIPANTS DISCUSSED CHALLENGES RELATED TO NAVIGATING THE HILLY TERRAIN ON MISSION HILL, THE ISOLATION THAT THOSE WITHOUT A PERSONAL CAR EXPERIENCED, THE NECESSITY FOR MANY TO TRAVEL OUTSIDE THE MISSION HILL AREA TO FIND AFFORDABLE FOOD AND OTHER BASIC ITEMS, AND THE IMPORTANCE OF THE MISSION LINK PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SERVICE. - ACCESS TO RECREATIONAL FACILITIES: DESPITE THE DENSITY OF THE MISSION HILL COMMUNITY, ACCESS TO RECREATIONAL FACILITIES AND OPEN SPACES IS ONE OF MISSION HILL'S ASSETS. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PARKS, RECREATIONAL AREAS, AND INDOOR COMMUNITY CENTERS. AS WILL BE DISCUSSED LATER IN THE REPORT, A HIGH PROPORTION OF THE POPULATION IS OVERWEIGHT AND DOES NOT GET REGULAR PHYSICAL EXERCISE, BUT NOT NECESSARILY BECAUSE RECREATIONAL FACILITIES OR OPEN SPACES ARE IN SHORT SUPPLY. - VIOLENCE: RATES OF HOMICIDE AND NON-FATAL GUNSHOT WOUNDS SEEN IN THE CITY'S HOSPITAL EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS ARE CONSIDERABLY HIGHER IN ROXBURY (INCLUDING MISSION HILL) THAN IN BOSTON OVERALL. WHILE THERE WAS A CLEAR CONSENSUS AMONG INTERVIEWEES AND FOCUS GROUP PARTICIPANTS THAT THIS ISSUE HAD IMPROVED DRAMATICALLY OVER THE PAST 2 DECADES AND THAT MISSION HILL WAS CONSIDERABLY SAFER THAN ROXBURY OVERALL, THIS GROUP AGREED THAT VIOLENCE STILL HAD A MAJOR IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY. VIOLENCE NEGATIVELY AFFECTS THE HEALTH OF THOSE DIRECTLY INVOLVED BUT ALSO HAS MAJOR NEGATIVE EMOTIONAL EFFECTS ON THOSE WHO ARE INDIRECTLY INVOLVED AND THE COMMUNITY MORE BROADLY. THESE IMPACTS INCLUDE MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, ISOLATION, AND LACK OF COMMUNITY COHESION. NEARLY EVERYONE WHO WAS INTERVIEWED OR INVOLVED IN FOCUS GROUPS DISCUSSED THE IMPACTS OF VIOLENCE AND ITS ASSOCIATED TRAUMA, PARTICULARLY ON THE AREA'S YOUTH AND THEIR FAMILIES. NEARLY EVERYONE WE TALKED WITH SAID THAT THEY KNEW SOMEONE WHO HAD BEEN IMPACTED DIRECTLY BY VIOLENCE AND UNDERSTOOD FIRST-HAND THE TOLL IT TOOK ON THE COMMUNITY.
COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT - ADDRESSING COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS	DURING THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 LARGE PROPORTIONS OF INDIVIDUALS RESIDING WITHIN BOSTON AND NEBH'S COMMUNITY BENEFITS SERVICE AREA LIVE IN POVERTY, HAVE LIMITED FORMAL EDUCATION, ARE UNEMPLOYED, AND STRUGGLE TO AFFORD FOOD AND OTHER ESSENTIAL HOUSEHOLD ITEMS. THESE POPULATIONS ARE DISPROPORTIONATELY FROM RACIAL/ETHNIC MINORITY GROUPS AND, PARTLY AS A RESULT OF THEIR POVERTY, FACE DISPARITIES IN HEALTH AND ACCESS TO CARE OUTCOMES. IT IS CRITICAL TO NOTE THAT THERE IS A MULTITUDE OF INDIVIDUAL, COMMUNITY AND SOCIETAL FACTORS THAT WORK TOGETHER TO CREATE THESE INEQUITIES. IT IS INSUFFICIENT TO TALK SOLELY ABOUT RACE/ETHNICITY, FOREIGN BORN STATUS, OR LANGUAGE AS THE UNDERLYING AND CORRELATIVE ISSUES RELATED TO HEALTH AND WELL-BEING INVOLVE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY, EDUCATION, CRIME, AND COMMUNITY COHESION.

THE LONG-TERM GOAL IS TO MEET THE IDENTIFIED NEEDS OF MORE SUPPORT AND EDUCATION. ARTHRITIS FOUNDATIONTHE ARTHRITIS FOUNDATION'S WALK TO CURE ARTHRITIS ENCOURAGES PEOPLE TO MOVE TO PREVENT OR TREAT ARTHRITIS. THERE ARE 27 MILLION PEOPLE WITH OSTEOARTHRITIS, THE MOST COMMON FORM OF ARTHRITIS, 1.3 MILLION PEOPLE WITH RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS, AN AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE THAT CAN LEAD TO CHRONIC PAIN, LOSS OF FUNCTION AND DEFORMITY AND 300,000 CHILDREN (OR ONE IN 250) WITH JUVENILE ARTHRITIS, WHICH AFFECTS CHILDREN BETWEEN THE AGES OF INFANCY AND 18. BY 2030, AN ESTIMATED 67 MILLION AMERICANS AGES 18 YEARS OR OLDER ARE PROJECTED TO HAVE DOCTOR-DIAGNOSED ARTHRITIS. NEW ENGLAND BAPTIST HOSPITAL (NEBH) HAS PARTNERED WITH THE ARTHRITIS FOUNDATION'S, GREATER BOSTON CHAPTER ON THEIR WALK TO CURE ARTHRITIS, IN THE FIGHT AGAINST ARTHRITIS BY RAISING AWARENESS AND REDUCING THE IMPACT OF ARTHRITIS, WHICH IS THE NATION'S LEADING CAUSE OF DISABILITY. OSTEOPOROSIS OSTEOPOROSIS IS A MAJOR PUBLIC HEALTH THREAT FOR AN ESTIMATED 54 MILLION AMERICANS AGE 50 AND OLDER. TWENTY PERCENT OF NON-HISPANIC CAUCASIAN AND ASIAN WOMEN AGED 50 AND OLDER ARE ESTIMATED TO HAVE OSTEOPOROSIS, AND 52 PERCENT ARE ESTIMATED TO HAVE LOW BONE MASS. THE MASSACHUSETTS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH (DPH) HAS IDENTIFIED OSTEOPOROSIS AS A PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE AND ESTABLISHED THE OSTEOPOROSIS AWARENESS PROGRAM. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY CAN IMPROVE THE OVERALL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF OLDER ADULTS. EVEN MODEST LEVELS OF ACTIVITY, DONE EACH DAY FOR A TOTAL OF 30 MINUTES, CAN PREVENT OR CONTROL OSTEOPOROSIS AND WEIGHT GAIN. NEBH SUPPORTS TWO WALKING GROUPS AT ROXBURY TENANTS OF HARVARD: A WALKING/EXERCISE PROGRAM HELD IN MISSION HILL, SERVING BETWEEN 20-40 WOMEN AND MEN BETWEEN THE AGES OF 40 AND 90 FROM ALL ETHNIC BACKGROUNDS AT EACH SESSION. THE HOSPITAL ALSO OFFERS EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS SUCH AS STRETCHING, EATING HEALTHY, ETC. TO THIS GROUP.

THE JR. CELTICS HELD 2 PROGRAMS IN THE MISSION HILL AREA THAT BENEFITTED YOUTH IN MISSION HILL.MOBILITY AND ELDERLY TRANSPORTATION - THE MISSION LINKBECAUSE THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF MISSION HILL IS LOCATED ON A STEEP HILL, AT THE HIGHEST ELEVATION IN BOSTON, IT PRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE TO MOBILITY FOR THE ELDERLY POPULATION. THE NEED FOR REGULAR TRANSPORTATION TO AVOID SOCIAL ISOLATION OF THOSE SENIORS IN THE MISSION HILL COMMUNITY WAS IDENTIFIED AS A CRITICAL ISSUE DURING THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT. NEBH HAS BEEN A MAJOR SPONSOR OF THE MISSION LINK BUS FOR MANY YEARS TO INCREASE ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOOD OPTIONS, MEDICAL CARE, AND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. ELDER ISOLATIONTHE MISSION HILL LEGACY PROJECT BRINGS SENIORS FROM THROUGHOUT THE MISSION HILL NEIGHBORHOOD TOGETHER FOR SOCIAL AND EDUCATIONAL EVENTS. IT IS EVIDENT THAT THERE ARE MANY ISSUES RELATED TO OLDER ADULT HEALTH IN THE MISSION HILL COMMUNITY. NEBH IS COMMITTED TO THE MISSION HILL LEGACY PROJECT TO HELP WITH ELDER ISOLATION. NEBH PROVIDES AN EXERCISE PROGRAM AND A BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION PROGRAM THAT TRAVELS THROUGHOUT HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS IN MISSION HILL ON A QUARTERLY BASIS. OBESITY PREVENTION OBESITY HAS REACHED EPIDEMIC PROPORTIONS IN THE UNITED STATES. OBESITY IS BECOMING A MAJOR ISSUE IN MASSACHUSETTS AND HAS A SIGNIFICANT NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THE MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM. NEBH HAS A LONG-STANDING COMMITMENT TO IMPROVING THE HEALTH STATUS OF BOSTON RESIDENTS, WITH A FOCUS ON MOVEMENT AND PREVENTION OF OBESITY. THE HOSPITAL SUPPORTS THE MISSION HILL LITTLE LEAGUE, MISSION HILL SOFTBALL LEAGUE, MAURICE J. TOBIN COMMUNITY CENTER, ROXBURY TENANTS OF HARVARD AND SOCIEDAD LATINA FOR THE PROGRAMS IN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. THE HOSPITAL SUPPORTS THE GYM, LEAGUES, AND SUMMER CAMP AT THE MAURICE J. TOBIN COMMUNITY CENTER AS WELL AS THE HEALTH EDUCATORS IN ACTION PROGRAM AT SOCIEDAD LATINA. FOR MANY YEARS, NEBH HAS MAINTAINED AND IS A MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR TO THE LIGHTING AT MCLAUGHLIN FIELD AT NIGHT TO FOSTER ITS USE FOR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. VIOLENCE PREVENTION CREATING A STRONG FEELING OF COMMUNITY AND FOCUSING ON YOUTH EDUCATION ARE TWO IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF VIOLENCE PREVENTION. NEBH WORKS WITH COMMUNITY GROUPS SUCH AS THE MISSION HILL YOUTH COLLABORATIVE (MHYC), THE MISSION HILL CRIME COMMITTEE AND THE BOSTON POLICE TO HELP EDUCATE OUR COMMUNITY AND TO KEEP OUR YOUTH ENGAGED IN PRODUCTIVE ACTIVITIES TO PREVENT VIOLENCE IN OUR COMMUNITY. THE MHYC SERVES OVER 1,500 YOUTH AND FAMILIES LIVING IN THE MISSION HILL AREA BY HOSTING EDUCATIONAL AND FUN EVENTS, SUCH AS HALLOWEEN ON THE HILL. SECURITY CAMERA'S AND ROUNDS NEBH PERFORMS SECURITY ROUNDS THROUGHOUT THE MISSION HILL AREA 7 DAYS A WEEK 24 HOURS A DAY AT SCHEDULED AND UNSCHEDULED INTERVALS. THIS SERVICE PROVIDES VIOLENCE DETERRENCE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. NEBH IN CONJUNCTION WITH COMMUNITY LEADERS REVIEWED AND UPGRADED ITS VIDEO SYSTEM TO ENHANCE NEIGHBORHOOD SECURITY. NEBH ALSO WORKS WITH THE MISSION HILL PROBLEM PROPERTIES TASK FORCES TO IMPROVE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF THE COMMUNITY. FOOD INSECURITY/HUNGER MISSION HILL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, MISSION HILL LEGACY PROJECT AND BOSTONCANSHARE HUNGER IS ON THE RISE IN MASSACHUSETTS. FOOD IS NEEDED TO SUSTAIN FAMILIES DURING THE HOLIDAYS, SCHOOL VACATIONS AND WHEN THE CHILDREN ARE NOT ATTENDING SCHOOL. NEBH PARTNERED THE MISSION HILL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND THE MISSION HILL LEGACY PROJECT TO COMBAT HUNGER. NEBH IS COMMITTED TO COMBATING HUNGER IN OUR LOCAL NEIGHBORHOODS. EACH YEAR, MUCH NEEDED FOOD IS GIVEN DURING THE THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS AND DURING SCHOOL VACATIONS. FOOD IS PROVIDED TO SUPPLEMENT STUDENT AND FAMILY FOOD NEEDS, AS MEALS ARE NOT SERVED BY THE SCHOOL SYSTEM DURING VACATIONS. LUNCH IS ALSO PROVIDED DURING THE WINTER MONTHS FOR CHILDREN PARTICIPATING IN THE YMCA AND THE CHILL FOUNDATION'S SKI PROGRAM. DURING THE HOLIDAYS, FOOD IS GIVEN TO SENIORS IN NEED THROUGH THE MISSION HILL LEGACY PROGRAM.

NEBH IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE HEALTHY FOOD BY PARTNERING WITH THE MISSION HILL HEALTH MOVEMENT AND THE MISSION HILL FARMERS MARKET. NEBH OFFERED $2 COUPONS TO THE FARMERS MARKET EACH WEEK DURING THE SUMMER AND FALL TO MISSION HILL/ROXBURY RESIDENTS SO THAT THEY MAY PURCHASE FRESH FRUIT AND VEGETABLES AT A DISCOUNTED RATE. OVER 3,950 COUPONS WERE GIVEN OUT TO COMMUNITY RESIDENTS.
2013 COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY/PLAN - ISSUES NOT ADDRESSED	AS DESCRIBED IN DETAIL IN THIS SUPPORTING NARRATIVE TO THE FORM 990 SCHEDULE H, NEBH IS DEEPLY DEDICATED TO ITS COMMUNITY BENEFITS OPERATIONS AND TO IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF ITS COMMUNITY. HOWEVER, AS NOTED IN SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 11, THERE WERE SOME NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE CHNA THAT ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE CHIP. IN THE 2013 CHIP WHICH GUIDED THE NEBH COMMUNITY BENEFIT ACTIVITIES FOR THE FISCAL PERIOD COVERED BY THIS FILING, EXAMPLES OF IDENTIFIED NEEDS THAT WERE NOT MET ARE CHRONIC DISEASE, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH. IN ADDITION, THE MOST RECENTLY COMPLETED CHIP WHICH, AS NOTED PREVIOUSLY WAS COMPLETED DURING THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 AND WHICH WILL GUIDE THE MEDICAL CENTER'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT ACTIVITIES FOR THE FISCAL PERIODS SEPTEMBER 30, 2017, SEPTEMBER 30, 2018 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2019, DOES NOT INCLUDE SOME NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE CHNA THAT WAS ALSO COMPLETED DURING THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2016. NEBH WILL NOT BE ADDRESSING CHRONIC DISEASE, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH UNDER THIS MOST RECENTLY COMPLETED CHNA.NEBH IS UNABLE TO ADDRESS THESE NEEDS DUE TO LIMITED FINANCIAL RESOURCES. IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL IS AN ORTHOPEDIC SPECIALTY-REFERRAL HOSPITAL FOR THE NEW ENGLAND REGION. IT IS NOT A FULL-SERVICE COMMUNITY HOSPITAL. BECAUSE OF THIS, AND TO AVOID DUPLICATION OF SERVICES, THE HOSPITAL IDENTIFIED RESOURCES AND STRENGTHS IN ITS SPECIALTY AREAS WHEN DETERMINING ITS PRIORITIES IN ITS IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY/PLAN. (SCHEDULE H PART V SECTION B QUESTION 11)AS NOTED IN DETAIL ABOVE, NEBH'S PRIMARY TOOL FOR ASSESSING THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED IS THROUGH THE CHNA AND CHIP (SCHEDULE H PART VI QUESTION 2). ISSUES NOT ADDRESSED: CHRONIC DISEASE NEW ENGLAND BAPTIST HOSPITAL IS FULLY ENGAGED THROUGH ITS AFFILIATIONS WITH OTHER HOSPITALS, CLINICS AND PHYSICIAN GROUPS WHO HAVE SIGNIFICANT EXPERTISE IN CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT TO ENSURE THAT THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY ASSOCIATED WITH DIABETES, CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE, ETC., ARE MET. BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SUPPORT PROGRAMS IN NEARBY CLINICS AND HOSPITALS HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED TO PROVIDE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH MANAGEMENT TO BETTER ASSESS, MONITOR AND TREAT PATIENTS WITH MOOD DISORDER, SUBSTANCE ABUSE, ETC., IN OUR COMMUNITY. MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH NEW ENGLAND BAPTIST DOES NOT PROVIDE MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH. THE COMMUNITY IS SURROUNDED BY MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS THAT OFFER THESE SERVICES.

IN ADDITION AS NOTED IN THE NARRATIVE BELOW, THERE ARE ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES AND EXPENDITURES WHICH NEBH CONSIDERS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND COMMUNITY BENEFITS. UNDER THE INSTRUCTIONS TO THIS SCHEDULE H QUESTION 7 THESE ITEMS ARE NOT QUANTIFIED IN SCHEDULE H QUESTION 7, BUT IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT IF NEBH HAD INCLUDED THESE IN SCHEDULE H QUESTION 7, THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND CERTAIN OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS AT COST WOULD BE 9.47% FOR THE PERIOD COVERED BY THIS FILING. THE PERCENTAGES CALCULATED IN PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN F WERE BASED ON EACH ITEM OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND COMMUNITY BENEFIT AT COST AS A PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL EXPENSES REPORTED IN PART IX OF THIS FORM 990.

FORM 990, PART I & III:	ORGANIZATION'S MISSION HTTP://WWW.NEBH.ORG/ABOUT-NEBH/MISSION/ NEW ENGLAND BAPTIST HOSPITAL WILL TRANSFORM PATIENTS' LIVES BY PROMOTING WELLNESS, RESTORING FUNCTION, LESSENING DISABILITY, ALLEVIATING PAIN, AND ADVANCING KNOWLEDGE IN MUSCULOSKELETAL DISEASES AND RELATED DISORDERS.
FORM 990, PART III LINE 4A-D:	EXEMPT PURPOSE ACHIEVEMENTS NEW ENGLAND BAPTIST HOSPITAL'S (NEBH OR HOSPITAL) PRIMARY PURPOSE IS THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF AN ACUTE CARE, ORTHOPEDIC SPECIALTY HOSPITAL AND PROVISION OF ALL SERVICES RELATED THERETO FOR THE BENEFIT OF PATIENTS. PATIENT CARE AND COMFORT IS THE HOSPITAL'S HIGHEST MISSION. THE HOSPITAL OPERATES AS AN ADULT MEDICAL/SURGICAL HOSPITAL WITH A NATIONAL REPUTATION IN ORTHOPEDIC CARE. PATIENTS ARE OFFERED A FULL RANGE OF SERVICES IN ORTHOPEDICS AND RHEUMATOLOGY, JOINT REPLACEMENT, SPINE CARE, FOOT AND ANKLE CARE, HAND SURGERY, OCCUPATIONAL MEDICINE AND SPORTS MEDICINE. THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES A NUMBER OF QUALITY CLINICAL SERVICES. THESE CLINICAL SERVICES ARE DIVIDED INTO CARE CENTERS: ORTHOPEDIC, MEDICAL, SURGICAL, DIAGNOSTICS AND SUPPORT SERVICES, REHABILITATION SERVICES AND PATIENT CARE. THROUGH THESE CARE CENTERS, NEBH PATIENTS RECEIVE NOT ONLY THE FINEST ORTHOPEDIC SERVICES, BUT ALSO DIAGNOSTIC, SURGICAL, MEDICAL AND REHABILITATIVE TREATMENT THAT'S BEYOND COMPARE. NEW ENGLAND BAPTIST HOSPITAL STRIVES TO PROVIDE THE MOST ADVANCED METHODS OF HEALTH CARE COMBINED WITH COMPASSIONATE, HIGHLY SKILLED AND WELL TRAINED PROVIDERS OF CARE. NEBH NURSES AND HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS PROVIDE A COMPREHENSIVE ARRAY OF PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT ARE FOCUSED ON PATIENTS AND MEETING THE NEBH COMMUNITY'S HEALTH CARE NEEDS. CARE TO ALL PATIENTS NEBH IS A FRONTLINE CAREGIVER PROVIDING MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE FOR ALL PEOPLE REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. ALTHOUGH NEBH IS NOT LICENSED TO OPERATE AN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, THE HOSPITAL OFFERS CARE FOR ALL PATIENTS THAT COME TO OUR FACILITY 24 HOURS A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, AND 365 DAYS A YEAR. NEBH ASSISTS PATIENTS IN OBTAINING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FROM PUBLIC PROGRAMS AND OTHER SOURCES WHENEVER APPROPRIATE. (SEE SCHEDULE H FOR ADDITIONAL DETAIL.) I. MEDICARE: MEDICARE IS THE FEDERALLY SPONSORED HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM FOR ELDERLY OR DISABLED PATIENTS AND NEBH PROVIDES CARE TO PATIENTS WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE MEDICARE PROGRAM. DURING THE FISCAL PERIOD COVERED BY THIS FILING, 35.54% OR 45,801 OF NEBH'S PATIENT VISITS WERE WITH MEDICARE PATIENTS. THIS TRANSLATED TO $ 68,478,496 IN NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE, HOWEVER, BECAUSE PAYMENTS TO HOSPITALS THROUGH THIS GOVERNMENT SPONSORED PROGRAM HAVE NOT KEPT PACE WITH INFLATION, REVENUE COLLECTED WAS LESS THAN THE COST OF SERVICES BY $14,289,150. ALTHOUGH NEBH CONSIDERS THE PROVISION OF CLINICAL CARE TO MEDICARE PATIENTS AS PART OF ITS COMMUNITY BENEFIT, PER IRS INSTRUCTIONS, THE MAJORITY OF THIS SHORTFALL HAS NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN NEBH'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT CALCULATION ON PAGE 1 OF THE SCHEDULE H. RATHER IT HAS BEEN SEPARATELY REPORTED IN SCHEDULE H PART III AS REQUIRED. IF NEBH HAD INCLUDED THE FULL MEDICARE SHORTFALL IN THE CHARITY CARE AND COMMUNITY BENEFIT CALCULATION, THE PERCENTAGE ON SCHEDULE H WOULD HAVE INCREASED FROM 3.53% TO 9.47%. (SEE NARRATIVE SUPPORT TO SCHEDULE H FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.) II. INPATIENT CARE: NEW ENGLAND BAPTIST HOSPITAL CARES FOR ITS PATIENTS IN ITS 118 LICENSED BEDS. DURING FISCAL YEAR 2016, NEBH ADMITTED 8,053 PATIENTS, INCLUDING: 7,968 SURGICAL ADMISSIONS AND 85 MEDICAL ADMISSIONS; TOTAL DISCHARGES WERE 8,062 PATIENTS; AND TOTAL PATIENT DAYS WERE 22,932. NET INPATIENT REVENUE, NOT INCLUDED IN PART I, FOR FISCAL YEAR 2016 WAS $110,880,745. III. COMMUNITY WALK-IN CLINIC/AMBULATORY/EMERGENT CARE: ALTHOUGH NEBH IS NOT LICENSED TO OPERATE AN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, NEBH STILL PROVIDES CARE TO ALL WHO NEED URGENT CARE, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. ALL PATIENTS WHO PRESENT AT NEBH ARE TRIAGED TO THE APPROPRIATE VENUE FOR THEIR CARE DEPENDING UPON THEIR CLINICAL PRESENTATION. A CLINICAL RESOURCE NURSE AND HOSPITALIST COLLABORATE TO IDENTIFY VENUE PRIOR TO THE ARRIVAL OF PATIENT WHEN ABLE. THE HOSPITALIST WILL MAKE A DETERMINATION AS TO THE BEST PATIENT DISPOSITION. CLINICAL SITUATIONS RECEIVED BY PHONE OR WALK-IN REQUIRING EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ARE DIRECTED TO THE NEAREST EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, SUCH AS BETH ISRAEL DEACONESS MEDICAL CENTER (BIDMC), A RELATED AFFILIATE AND TERTIARY CARE ACADEMIC MEDICAL CENTER WHICH OPERATES A LEVEL 1 TRAUMA EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT 24 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK AND WHICH IS LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE FROM NEBH. ALL PATIENTS WHO COME TO NEBH, AND WHO CAN BE ADEQUATELY TREATED AT NEBH, ARE TREATED AND NOT TRANSFERRED, REGARDLESS OF THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY FOR CARE. OUTPATIENT STATISTICS AND FINANCIAL RESULTS: PATIENT VISITS TO NEBH'S OUTPATIENT CLINICS AND OTHER DEPARTMENTS TOTALED OVER 130,000 DURING FISCAL YEAR 2016.
