        <ExplanationTxt>HEADQUARTERED IN BUFFALO, INDEPENDENT HEALTH &amp; AFFILIATES BEGAN OPERATIONS IN 1980 AND HAS CONSISTENTLY BEEN RATED AMONG THE TOP HEALTH PLANS IN THE COUNTRY FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND MEMBER SATISFACTION. INDEPENDENT HEALTH'S COMPREHENSIVE PORTFOLIO OF PROGRESSIVE PRODUCTS INCLUDE HMO, POS, PPO AND EPO PRODUCTS, MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PLANS, TRADITIONAL INDEMNITY INSURANCE, INDIVIDUAL AND SMALL GROUP EXCHANGE PRODUCTS, AND CONSUMER-DIRECTED PLANS, PLUS COVERAGE FOR SELF-FUNDED EMPLOYERS. INDEPENDENT HEALTH'S SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES INCLUDE PHARMACY BENEFIT DIMENSIONS, RELIANCE RX, DXID, AND NOVA HEALTHCARE ADMINISTRATORS, INC. IHA OFFERS ITS MEMBERS HEALTH RISK MANAGEMENT TOOLS INCLUDING AN ONLINE HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENT AND THE USE OF A DATA WAREHOUSE TO ANALYZE AND PREDICT POTENTIAL RISK AND DEVELOP SOLUTIONS TO HELP CONTROL CURRENT AND PREVENT FUTURE PROBLEMS. PROGRAMS FOR COVERED EMPLOYEES AS WELL AS FOR EMPLOYERS HELP THEM MAKE GOOD HEALTH A PART OF THEIR CULTURE. IHA OFFERS A 24-HOUR MEDICAL HELP LINE WITH ACCESS TO A REGISTERED NURSE, CASE MANAGEMENT, DISEASE MANAGEMENT AND HEALTH COACHES. IHA ALSO ESTABLISHED AN ADVANCED PATIENT CENTERED MEDICAL HOME (PCMH) PILOT PROGRAM IN JANUARY 2009. THE PCMH PROGRAM INCLUDED 18 DIVERSE PRIMARY CARE PRACTICES ACROSS WNY, 130 PHYSICIANS AND NEARLY 50,000 IHA MEMBERS. THE PRACTICES WORKED TOWARD IMPROVED QUALITY OF CARE WITH EXPANDED ACCESS TO ALLOW SAME-DAY APPOINTMENTS AND AFTER-HOURS CARE; ENHANCED TECHNOLOGY TO INCLUDE ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS AND EMAILS WITH PATIENTS; AND A COMPREHENSIVE CARE TEAM FOR THOSE WITH OR AT RISK OF HAVING A CHRONIC CONDITION. ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANCE WAS ALSO PROVIDED TO HELP IMPLEMENT NEW OFFICE PROCEDURES. ANOTHER IMPORTANT ASPECT OF THE PCMH MODEL WAS THAT IT ALSO INCLUDED MANY OF THE FEDERAL HEALTH CARE REFORM EFFORTS INCLUDING PREVENTION AND WELLNESS THROUGH COORDINATED CARE, EVIDENCED-BASED GUIDELINES TO GAUGE OUTCOMES AND REFORM OF PHYSICIAN PAYMENT TO IMPROVE QUALITY AND EFFICIENCY. IHA DEVOTED TIME AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES THAT ENABLED THE 130 PHYSICIANS IN THIS PROGRAM TO REDESIGN THEIR PRACTICES. IHA ALSO PROVIDED DETAILED MEMBER INFORMATION TO ENABLE OUR PHYSICIANS TO MANAGE CARE OPPORTUNITIES FOR IHA MEMBERS. AT THE END OF THE PILOT IN DECEMBER 2011, THE 18 PRIMARY CARE PRACTICES INVOLVED IN THE PILOT PROGRAM ACHIEVED THE HIGHEST RECOGNITION BY THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE (NCQA). IN 2012, INDEPENDENT HEALTH EVOLVED ITS SUCCESSFUL PATIENT-CENTERED MEDICAL HOME (PCMH) CARE MODEL FOR PRIMARY CARE INTO A MORE COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM CALLED THE PRIMARY CONNECTION, WHICH OFFICIALLY BEGAN JULY 1, 2012. AN INNOVATIVE, PHYSICIAN-LED INITIATIVE, THE PRIMARY CONNECTION TAKES A COORDINATED APPROACH TO ENHANCE QUALITY, ACCESS AND AFFORDABILITY. USING PCMH PRINCIPLES AS THE FOUNDATION, THIS INNOVATIVE ALLIANCE PROMOTES BETTER CARE COORDINATION AND A COLLABORATIVE, SHARED RESPONSIBILITY AMONG PRIMARY CARE AND SPECIALTY PHYSICIANS, AS WELL AS HOSPITALS, HEALTH PLANS, MEMBERS AND OTHER KEY STAKEHOLDERS TO ACHIEVE THE GOALS OF THE TRIPLE AIM: BETTER HEALTH, BETTER CARE AND LOWER COSTS. HEALTH CARE REFORM INITIATIVES ENCOURAGE THIS TYPE OF CARE DELIVERY, AND INDEPENDENT HEALTH AND THESE PROGRESSIVE PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN PRACTICES HAVE BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT OF WHAT THE NATION WILL BE DOING. THE PRIMARY CONNECTION FOSTERS INTERDEPENDENCY AND INTENSE COLLABORATION AMONG THE PRACTICES TO CREATE AND IMPLEMENT SPECIFIC CARE COORDINATION PROGRAMS, SUCH AS HOSPITAL ALTERNATIVE PROGRAMS AND CARE TRANSITION PROGRAMS FROM HOSPITAL TO HOME. OTHER RESOURCES INCLUDE PHARMACISTS PROVIDING MEDICATION THERAPY MANAGEMENT, EMBEDDED BEHAVIORAL COUNSELORS WITHIN PRACTICES, AND CARE COORDINATION CONTRACTS BETWEEN PRIMARY AND SPECIALTY CARE PHYSICIANS. THE PRIMARY CONNECTION PRACTICES' CLINICAL AND OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE IS TRACKED FOR QUALITY IMPROVEMENT AND ADHERENCE TO THE TENETS OF THE TRIPLE AIM. THESE PRACTICES ARE REIMBURSED UNDER AN INNOVATIVE HYBRID REIMBURSEMENT METHODOLOGY THAT RETAINS ELEMENTS OF FEE-FOR-SERVICE PAYMENT, BUT INCLUDES A RISK-ADJUSTED POPULATION-BASED CARE COORDINATION FEE AND A SHARED SAVINGS COMPONENT. THE HYBRID PAYMENT SYSTEM ALLOWS PRIMARY CARE PRACTICES TO MORE FULLY UTILIZE ANCILLARY NURSING AND MIDLEVEL STAFF, RECOGNIZES THE PRACTICES' EFFORTS TO IMPLEMENT E-COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES, AND REWARDS EFFORTS TO WORK COOPERATIVELY AND EFFECTIVELY WITH HOSPITALS AND SPECIALTY PHYSICIANS TO REDUCE MEDICALLY UNNECESSARY SERVICES AND POTENTIALLY AVOIDABLE ADMISSIONS. THE PRIMARY CONNECTION INITIALLY INVOLVED 21 PRACTICES, THEIR 140 PHYSICIANS AND MORE THAN 54,000 PATIENTS, AND HAS SINCE GROWN TO 32 PRACTICES AND 189 PHYSICIANS, IMPACTING 121,000 INDEPENDENT HEALTH MEMBERS. THIS PROGRESSIVE ALLIANCE HAS LED TO IMPROVED CARE COORDINATION, AND REDUCING THE REDUNDANCIES AND INEFFICIENT CARE THAT CAUSE HEALTH CARE COSTS TO INCREASE UNNECESSARILY. A SAMPLE OF RESULTS FOLLOWS: - FROM 2013 TO 2015, THE PRIMARY CONNECTION PHYSICIANS DECREASED UNNECESSARY REFERRALS TO SPECIALIST PHYSICIANS BY 23 PERCENT. - THEY ALSO INCREASED REFERRALS TO HIGH-PERFORMING SPECIALISTS BY 7 PERCENT DURING THAT TIME. - THE PRIMARY CONNECTION PRACTICES DECREASED PRESCRIPTIONS TO COSTLY BRAND-NAME MEDICATIONS BY 24 PERCENT. - THE PRIMARY CONNECTION REDUCED THE AMOUNT OF POTENTIALLY PREVENTABLE HOSPITAL ADMISSIONS BY 17 PERCENT AND READMISSION RATES BY 27 PERCENT BY TREATING PATIENTS IN MORE APPROPRIATE CARE SETTINGS AT LOWER COSTS. OTHER MEMBERSHIP SERVICES INCLUDE PREVENTIVE CARE WITH ACTIVE PARTICIPATION BY COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS IN INITIATIVES SUCH AS THE P2 COLLABORATIVE OF WESTERN NEW YORK (P2), A NOT-FOR-PROFIT DEDICATED TO IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN WESTERN NEW YORK. IT DEPENDS ON UNPRECEDENTED COLLABORATION AMONG KEY STAKEHOLDERS AND THE SHARING OF CLINICAL INFORMATION, AS WELL AS THE ADOPTION OF HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS, THROUGH ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS HEALTHELINK. IHA IS COMMITTED TO IMPROVING THE QUALITY, ACCESS AND AFFORDABILITY OF HEALTH CARE THROUGH MANY COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAMS.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>NEEDS PLAN OFFERED IN NURSING FACILITIES IN WESTERN NEW YORK. FAMILY CHOICE OF NEW YORK IS A CARE MANAGEMENT COMPANY THAT WORKS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH AREA NURSING HOMES, PHYSICIANS AND HOSPITALS TO BRING ADDITIONAL CARE - INCLUDING ENHANCED HEALTH CARE AND SOCIAL SERVICES - TO THE PATIENTS WHO NEED SPECIALIZED MEDICAL AND NURSE MANAGEMENT. THE PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHES THIS BY ASSIGNING A NURSE PRACTITIONER WHO IS SPECIALLY TRAINED IN GERIATRICS TO NURSING HOME RESIDENTS. THE GOAL IS TO IMPROVE NOT ONLY THE MEMBER'S QUALITY OF CARE, BUT ALSO THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE. FAMILY CHOICE'S SPECIALLY TRAINED NURSE PRACTITIONERS AND PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS ARE ON CALL 24 HOURS A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK TO PROVIDE CARE AND SUPPORT AS NEEDED. THEY WORK IN COLLABORATION WITH THE MEMBER'S PHYSICIANS AND THE NURSING FACILITY'S STAFF TO IDENTIFY POTENTIAL PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY BECOME SERIOUS, MINIMIZE UNNECESSARY AND DISRUPTIVE EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS AND HOSPITAL STAYS WHENEVER IT'S SAFE AND APPROPRIATE. PART OF THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT AND MEDICAID REFORM EFFORTS, HEALTH HOMES ARE COMMUNITY NETWORKS OF PROVIDERS DESIGNATED BY THE STATE TO COORDINATE CARE AND SOCIAL NEEDS FOR MEDICAID MEMBERS WITH CHRONIC CONDITIONS, SUCH AS HIV/AIDS, SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS OR MULTIPLE CHRONIC HEALTH PROBLEMS. IHA ASSIGNS MEMBERS TO HEALTH HOMES AND SUPPORTS THESE NETWORKS ADMINISTRATIVELY, BILLING FOR SERVICES RENDERED AND REIMBURSING THEM. FOR FRAIL ELDERLY MEMBERS AND THEIR CAREGIVERS, THE CAREPARTNERS PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE AT NO ADDITIONAL COST. THIS HOME-BASED PROGRAM FACILITATES THE RIGHT CARE AND LIVING ENVIRONMENT AND IS DESIGNED TO PREVENT EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS AND HOSPITALIZATIONS. THROUGH HOME VISITS AND PHONE CALLS, REGISTERED NURSES AND SOCIAL WORKERS HELP COORDINATE CARE AND OFFER PSYCHO-SOCIAL SUPPORT, INCLUDING LINKING MEMBERS AND CAREGIVERS TO COMMUNITY AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES, ASSESSING THE SAFETY OF THE MEMBER AND HELPING COMPLETE ADVANCE DIRECTIVES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MEMBER'S WISHES. MEMBERS ALSO HAVE 24-HOUR ACCESS TO A REGISTERED NURSE THROUGH THIS PROGRAM. IHA OFFERS AN ADDITIONAL LEVEL OF SUPPORT AT NO COST TO MEMBERS FACING SERIOUS ILLNESS AND THEIR FAMILIES THROUGH OUR PALLIATIVE CARE PROGRAM. THE PALLIATIVE CARE TEAM, WHICH INCLUDES A REGISTERED NURSE, SOCIAL WORKER AND MEDICAL DIRECTOR, PARTNERS WITH THE MEMBER'S PHYSICIAN TO COORDINATE CARE AND REDUCE AVOIDABLE HOSPITAL VISITS AND ADMISSIONS. THE PALLIATIVE CARE PROFESSIONALS HAVE OPEN AND SUPPORTIVE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT TREATMENT CHOICES WITH THE MEMBER AND PROVIDE THE SAME OUTREACH AND SERVICES AS CAREPARTNERS WITH THE GOAL OF HELPING MEMBERS LIVE MORE COMFORTABLY BY MANAGING SYMPTOMS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR HEALTH CARE WISHES TO PROVIDE A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE. IN ADDITION, IHA DEVELOPS AND CONDUCTS EXTENSIVE COMMUNITY WELLNESS AND BENEFIT INITIATIVES THAT HELP MEMBERS LEAD HEALTHIER LIVES AND HELP EMPLOYERS CONTROL HEALTH CARE COSTS. INCLUDED AMONG THESE INITIATIVES ARE PREVIOUS COMMUNITY WELLNESS AWARENESS PROGRAMS: PRACTICE EXCELLENCE, THE NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED PAY FOR PERFORMANCE PROGRAM, AND THE IDEALIZED DESIGN OF CLINICAL OFFICE PRACTICE, A MULTI-FACETED APPROACH TO RE-DESIGN PHYSICIAN OFFICES TO BE MORE PATIENT-CENTRIC. IHA ALSO CONTRACTED WITH THE NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH IN A HEALTH CARE REFORM ACT (HCRA) PAY FOR PERFORMANCE DEMONSTRATION PROJECT (P4P) TO SUPPORT REGIONAL EFFORTS TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF HEALTH CARE BY DEVELOPING A STANDARDIZED PHYSICIAN PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT AND REPORTING SYSTEM. THIS GRANT EXPIRED DECEMBER 31, 2009; HOWEVER AT THE END OF THIS GRANT PERIOD THE THREE REGIONAL HEALTH PLANS ENDORSED A CONTINUATION STRATEGY FOR THE QUALITY MEASURES COLLABORATIVE PROGRAM. THE PLANS CONTINUE TO PROVIDE REGULAR DATA EXTRACTS TO P2 COLLABORATIVE'S DESIGNATED DATA MANAGEMENT VENDOR, VIPS, WHO PERFORMS DATA AGGREGATION AND ANALYSIS. THE P2 COLLABORATIVE THEN REPORTS THIS PERFORMANCE DATA TO PROVIDERS VIA A SECURE INTERNET-BASED PORTAL. EACH PLAN PROVIDES ONGOING FUNDING FOR THE QUALITY MEASURES COLLABORATIVE PROPORTIONATE TO ITS RESPECTIVE MARKET SHARE. IHA ALSO SUBSIDIZES INDIGENT CARE AND HEALTH CARE INITIATIVES UNDER HCRA AND CONTRIBUTES TO A PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION POOL, LARGELY TO FUND GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION EXPENSES. IHA IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COVERED LIVES ASSESSMENT BASED ON THE REGION IN WHICH THE MEMBER RESIDES AND HIS/HER ENROLLMENT STATUS (FAMILY OR INDIVIDUAL). SURCHARGES AND COVERED LIVES REMITTANCES ARE REQUIRED MONTHLY, AND TOTALED APPROXIMATELY $15.4 MILLION DURING 2015. IHA'S REDSHIRT VOLUNTEER PROGRAM PROVIDES IHA EMPLOYEES AN OPPORTUNITY TO VOLUNTEER IN THEIR COMMUNITY, WHILE PROMOTING IHA AS A COMPANY WHO IS WILLING TO HELP GIVE BACK TO WNY. REDSHIRT EMPLOYEE VOLUNTEERS PROVIDE THE REDSHIRT TREATMENT TO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH DIRECT EMPLOYEE INTERACTION AND EXHIBIT IHA'S MESSAGE OF QUALITY CARE THROUGHOUT WNY. THE REDSHIRT TREATMENT IS A COMPANY-WIDE COMMITMENT TO DEMONSTRATE OUR CORE VALUES OF BEING PASSIONATE, CARING, RESPECTFUL, TRUSTWORTHY, COLLABORATIVE AND ACCOUNTABLE. DURING 2015, 184 IHA EMPLOYEES SERVED AS REDSHIRT VOLUNTEERS. IN TOTAL, THESE INDIVIDUALS VOLUNTEERED AT 48 COMMUNITY EVENTS, WHICH REPRESENTED 552 HOURS OF VOLUNTEER TIME. IHA ENCOURAGES ITS MANAGEMENT TEAM AND EMPLOYEES TO SUPPORT THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. TO THIS END, WE ARE PROUD TO SAY MORE THAN 80 MEMBERS OF OUR MANAGEMENT TEAM ARE VOLUNTEERS OR ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS AS DIRECTORS ON COMMUNITY BOARDS. THE IHA EMPLOYEE DRESS DOWN PROGRAM ALLOWS EMPLOYEES TO MAKE A CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTION IN EXCHANGE FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF DRESSING DOWN FOR WORK. THIS PROGRAM HAS RESULTED IN SUBSTANTIAL SUPPORT FOR THE CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS IN OUR COMMUNITY AND DEMONSTRATES THE GOODWILL OF IHA EMPLOYEES. THE PROGRAM IS EMPLOYEE-DRIVEN WITH A GOAL TO BROADLY SUPPORT MANY 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATIONS THROUGHOUT WESTERN NEW YORK. IN 2015, IHA RAISED MORE THAN $131,000 FOR NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS IN OUR COMMUNITY. IN ADDITION, IHA EMPLOYEES SUPPORT THE UNITED WAY OF BUFFALO AND ERIE COUNTY'S COMMUNITY CARE CAMPAIGN. THE UNITED WAY OF BUFFALO AND ERIE COUNTY WORKS TO ADVANCE THE COMMON GOOD BY FOCUSING ON WELLNESS, INCOME AND EDUCATION. IT PROMOTES LONG-TERM GOOD HEALTH AND INDEPENDENCE, AND WORKS TO CREATE LONG-LASTING CHANGES THAT WILL IMPROVE THE LIVES OF PEOPLE LIVING IN POVERTY IN ERIE COUNTY. IHA CONDUCTS A MONTH-LONG CAMPAIGN EACH FALL TO RAISE MONEY FOR UNITED WAY. IHA CARES ABOUT MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. THE 2015-2016 CAMPAIGN RAISED MORE THAN $90,000. THE COMMUNITY ALSO BENEFITS FROM IHA'S SPONSORSHIPS THAT PROMOTE HEALTH AND WELLNESS. ONE EXAMPLE IS IHA'S COMMITMENT OF SUPPORT TO THEATRE OF YOUTH'S (TOY) HEALTH SERIES, A PROFESSIONAL THEATRE FOR YOUNG AUDIENCES THAT FOCUSES ON HEALTH-RELATED ISSUES IN CHILDREN. INDEPENDENT HEALTH IS PROUD TO BE THE PRESENTING SPONSOR OF GOBIKE BUFFALO'S ANNUAL SKYRIDE. THIS EVENT DRAWS MORE THAN 1,000 BICYCLISTS TO OUR DOWNTOWN EACH YEAR TO EMBARK ON A GROUP BIKE RIDE. BECAUSE THE EVENT INCLUDES RIDING OVER THE SKYWAY, WHICH IS CLOSED TO TRAFFIC FOR THE RIDE, IT DRAWS CONSIDERABLE MEDIA COVERAGE AND THUS IS A HIGH-PROFILE EVENT TO PROMOTE HEALTH AND WELLNESS. ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF IHA IN THE COMMUNITY IS EVIDENT IN OUR SPONSORSHIP AND ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN SLOW ROLL BUFFALO, A FAMILY-FRIENDLY BIKE EVENT THAT KICKED OFF IN BUFFALO IN 2015. IN ADDITION TO BEING THE PRESENTING SPONSOR OF THE PROGRAM, WHICH DREW THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE OUT LAST SUMMER FOR GUIDED BIKE RIDES THROUGH THE CITY, OUR REDSHIRTS VOLUNTEERED AND MANY OF OUR ASSOCIATES PARTICIPATED. THIS IS JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF INDEPENDENT HEALTH'S COMMITMENT TO BUILDING A HEALTHIER COMMUNITY.</ExplanationTxt>

BETWEEN JUNE AND AUGUST 2015 THE WNY COMMUNITY WAS ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN FREE 60-MINUTE FITNESS CLASSES WITH YMCA-CERTIFIED INSTRUCTORS AT 12 AREA PARKS. IHA AND THE YMCA ALSO DEVELOPED THE FITNESS PROGRAM FITSTART, A STRUCTURED, EVIDENCE-BASED, 12-WEEK EXERCISE PROGRAM DESIGNED AROUND THE CONCEPT OF SMALL GROUP PERSONAL TRAINING (8-10 PARTICIPANTS TO TWO PERSONAL TRAINERS) TO TEACH MEMBERS HOW TO SAFELY AND EFFECTIVELY EXERCISE. PARTICIPANTS LEARN HOW TO DESIGN AN EXERCISE PROGRAM, AS WELL AS DEVELOP A SENSE OF BELONGING AND BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER PARTICIPANTS TO GIVE A FOUNDATION OF SUPPORT TO IMPROVE THEIR HEALTH. AS THE POPULARITY OF THIS PROGRAM HAS GROWN, WE HAVE ADDED CLASSES TO MEET THE DEMAND AND CLASSES ROUTINELY HAVE 100 OR MORE PARTICIPANTS. THIS COLLABORATIVE EFFORT WITH THE YMCA IS A VISIBLE SHOW OF SUPPORT FOR THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY, AN INITIATIVE THAT IS IN LINE WITH IHA'S EFFORTS TO TRANSFORM HEALTH CARE AND DEVELOP WESTERN NEW YORK AS A HIGH-QUALITY, HIGH PERFORMING COMMUNITY. IN AN EFFORT TO FURTHER PROMOTE HEALTHIER LIFESTYLES IN OUR COMMUNITY, IHA JOINED FORCES WITH SNYDER CORPORATION AND FITNESS RIDGE WORLDWIDE TO BRING THE BIGGEST LOSER RESORT NIAGARA TO WNY AT THE BEAVER HOLLOW CONFERENCE CENTER IN WYOMING COUNTY. THE RESORT FOCUSES ON EXERCISE, HEALTH NUTRITION AND EDUCATION. THE PROGRAM ENGAGES PARTICIPANTS IN THEIR OWN HEALTH AND GIVES THEM THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO ADOPT LIFESTYLE CHANGES TO STAY HEALTHY AND REDUCE THEIR RISK OF CHRONIC DISEASE LIKE DIABETES AND HEART DISEASE. IHA IS EXPECTED TO PROVIDE $3 MILLION TOWARDS THIS INITIATIVE. IHA HAS ALSO JOINED TOGETHER WITH THE BUFFALO MUSEUM OF SCIENCE TO OPEN THE FIRST OF EIGHT PERMANENT SCIENCE STUDIOS AT THE MUSEUM. CALLED "EXPLORE YOU PRESENTED BY INDEPENDENT HEALTH," THE THEMED STUDIO ALLOWS VISITORS TO EXPLORE ANATOMY AND LEARN ABOUT IMPORTANT CHOICES THEY CAN MAKE TO IMPROVE AND MAINTAIN THEIR HEALTH. THE EXHIBIT OPENED IN MARCH OF 2012 AND WILL BE OPEN FOR 10 YEARS. IN CONNECTION TO THE EXHIBIT, IN FEBRUARY 2013, 2014 AND 2015, IHA HOSTED AN "EXPLORE TOGETHER" FREE EVENT FOR PARENTS AND CHILDREN TO LEARN ABOUT HEALTH TOPICS THROUGH INTERACTIVE ACTIVITIES AND PRESENTATIONS. IHA IS ALSO PROUD TO PARTNER WITH LARKIN SQUARE TO SPONSOR MANY COMMUNITY EVENTS AND HELP BRING HEALTHY INITIATIVES TO THIS NEWLY REVITALIZED PUBLIC GATHERING SPACE ALL YEAR LONG. IHA COLLABORATED WITH FOOD TRUCKS PARTICIPATING IN LARKIN SQUARE'S FOOD TRUCK TUESDAYS EVENTS FROM MAY THROUGH OCTOBER 2015 TO HELP THEM OFFER HEALTHY MENU ITEMS THAT ARE CONSIDERED TO BE LOWER IN FAT, SATURATED FAT, CHOLESTEROL AND SODIUM. IHA AND THE BUFFALO BILLS ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF THE WESTERN NEW YORK COMMUNITY THROUGH A VARIETY OF INITIATIVES, INCLUDING THE INDEPENDENT HEALTH AND BUFFALO BILLS HEALTH &amp; WELLNESS CHALLENGE, A COMMUNITY-WIDE FITNESS AND NUTRITION PROGRAM TO ENCOURAGE HEALTHY LIVING. OVERALL, IN 2015 MORE THAN 10,300 INDIVIDUALS IN THE REGION COMPLETED THE SPRING AND FALL CHALLENGE, WHICH RAN FROM APRIL 20 - MAY 31 AND OCTOBER 5 THROUGH NOVEMBER 15, 2015. THE BUFFALO BILLS AND IHA ALSO WORKED TOGETHER TO ENCOURAGE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND HEALTHY EATING AMONG OUR COMMUNITY'S YOUTH IN SCHOOL AND AT HOME THROUGH THE INDEPENDENT HEALTH FOUNDATION'S FITNESS FOR KIDS CHALLENGE AND THE BUFFALO BILLS PLAY 60 CHALLENGE. IN ADDITION, IHA SPONSORS THE HILLSIDE WORK SCHOLARSHIP CONNECTION TO HELP ENSURE OUR COMMUNITY'S YOUTH HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL. BY ENGAGING OUR YOUTH THROUGH EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAMS SUCH AS HILLSIDE'S, IHA CAN MAKE A SUSTAINABLE IMPACT IN THE COMMUNITY'S FUTURE. AS HEALTHCARE AMBASSADORS, IHA NOT ONLY RECOGNIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF HELPING STUDENTS STAY IN SCHOOL AND ACHIEVE ACADEMIC SUCCESS, BUT GRADUATE WITH THE SKILLS AND CONFIDENCE THEY NEED FOR LIFELONG SUCCESS. IHA FURTHER COLLABORATES WITH THE WESTERN NEW YORK COMMUNITY IN ITS AFFILIATION WITH THE HEALTH SCIENCES CHARTER SCHOOL THAT WAS DEVELOPED TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS FOR CAREERS IN THE MEDICAL FIELD. WNY HEALTHENET FURTHERS IHA'S COMMITMENT TO REDUCING THE COST OF AND IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF HEALTH CARE IN THE WESTERN NEW YORK COMMUNITY. WNY HEALTHENET OPTIMIZES THE DELIVERY OF PATIENT INFORMATION THAT SPEEDS THE DELIVERY AND ACCURACY OF VITAL ELIGIBILITY, CLAIM STATUS, REFERRAL AND AUTHORIZATION INFORMATION TO THE PROVIDER COMMUNITY, AND WESTERN NEW YORK'S CLINICAL INFORMATION EXCHANGE ("HEALTHELINK") - A 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATION THAT OPERATES AN INFORMATION EXCHANGE TO FACILITATE ACCESS TO CLINICAL INFORMATION AMONG HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS AND HEALTH INSURERS. HEALTHELINK IS PART OF THE STATEWIDE HEALTH INFORMATION NETWORK OF NEW YORK (SHIN-NY), A TECHNOLOGY FRAMEWORK SPANNING THE ENTIRE STATE THAT ALLOWS HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS EFFICIENT ACCESS TO THEIR PATIENTS' DATA. HEALTHELINK HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED FOR ITS WORK IN BUILDING A REGIONAL HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURE AND FOR TESTING INNOVATIVE APPROACHES BY BOTH STATE AND FEDERAL AGENCIES, INCLUDING BEING NAMED A BEACON COMMUNITY, AN EFFORT FUNDED BY THE OFFICE OF THE NATIONAL COORDINATOR FOR HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY.
