ALTHOUGH REIMBURSEMENTS FOR SERVICES RENDERED ARE CRITICAL TO THE OPERATION AND STABILITY OF PMC, IT IS RECOGNIZED THAT NOT ALL INDIVIDUALS HAVE THE SAME ABILITY TO PAY FOR VITAL MEDICAL SERVICES. TO THAT END, AS PART OF OUR CHARITABLE MISSION TO SERVE ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, FREE CARE, SUBSIDIZED CARE AND HEALTH ACTIVITIES, PROGRAMS AND SCREENINGS ARE AVAILABLE TO ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY.

AS THE ONLY REGIONAL COMMUNITY HOSPITAL WITH A SIGNIFICANT POPULATION OF UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED, OUR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT SEES IN EXCESS OF 82,000 CASES ANNUALLY. DURING FISCAL YEAR 2012, THE ED SAW MORE THAN 82,000 VISITS (82,406), A STATISTIC THAT IS LOWER THAN THE PREVIOUS YEAR BECAUSE OF THE OPENING OF PMC'S IMMEDIATE CARE CENTERS AROUND THE MONROE COUNTY AREA.

PART I, LINE 7: THE MEDICAL CENTER USED A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO IN DETERMINING THE FIGURES REPORTED IN THIS TABLE. THIS COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO WAS DERIVED FROM WORKSHEET 2-RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES.
PART I, LINE 7G: OF THE NET COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE OF $10,034,087, REPORTED ON PART I, LINE 7G, COLUMN (E), $10,031,912 IS RELATED TO COSTS ATTRIBUTABLE TO A PHYSICIAN CLINIC.
PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN (F): THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A), BUT SUBTRACTED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE IN THIS COLUMN IS $ 32975964.
PART II: POCONO MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDES A MYRIAD OF HEALTH SCREENINGS AND COMMUNITY PRESENTATIONS ON HEALTHY LIFESTYLES AND DISEASE AWARENESS THROUGH THE WELLNESS INSTITUTE AND THE SPIRIT OF WOMEN INITIATIVE.
PART III, LINE 4: THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DO NOT CONTAIN A FOOTNOTE THAT DESCRIBES BAD DEBT EXPENSE. THEY DO, HOWEVER, CONTAIN A FOOTNOTE THAT DESCRIBES PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. THE FOOTNOTE READS AS FOLLOWS: "ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE REDUCED BY AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTIBILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, THE MEDICAL CENTER ANALYZES ITS PAST HISTORY AND IDENTIFIES TRENDS FOR EACH OF ITS MAJOR PAYER SOURCES OF REVENUE TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. MANAGEMENT REGULARLY REVIEWS DATA ABOUT THESE MAJOR PAYER 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 MEDICAL CENTER ANALYZES CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND A PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS, IF NECESSARY (FOR EXAMPLE, FOR EXPECTED UNCOLLECTIBLE DEDUCTIBLES AND COPAYMENTS ON ACCOUNTS FOR WHICH THE THIRD-PARTY PAYER HAS NOT YET PAID, OR FOR PAYERS 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 DEDUCTIBLE AND COPAYMENT BALANCES DUE FOR WHICH THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE EXISTS FOR PART OF THE BILL), THE MEDICAL CENTER RECORDS A PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS 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 OR PROVIDED BY POLICY) AND THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY COLLECTED AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IS CHARGED OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS."FOR PURPOSES OF PART III, SECTION A, LINE 2, TOTAL BAD DEBT EXPENSE (AT COST) WAS DETERMINED BY APPLYING THE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO, DERIVED FROM WORKSHEET 2-RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES TO TOTAL THE NET OF ACTUAL BAD DEBT WRITE-OFF'S AND RECOVERIES PROCESSED DURING THE 2012 FISCAL YEAR.THE ORGANIZATION HAS ESTIMATED THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE POLICY BY UTILIZING DATA FROM THE U.S. CENSUS BUREAU. THE ORGANIZATION ESTIMATED THE PERCENTAGE BY OBTAINING THE PERCENT OF THE POPULATION IN ITS SERVICE AREA FALLING BELOW THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. ACCORDING TO THE LATEST PUBLICIZED CENSUS DATA FOR MONROE COUNTY, PA, 11.3% OF INDIVIDUALS ARE CONSIDERED TO BE IN POVERTY.
PART III, LINE 8: THERE IS NO SHORTFALL TO BE TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR OUR CURRENT YEAR. THE FISCAL YEAR 2012 MEDICARE COST REPORT WAS UTILIZED TO CALCULATE THE COST REPORTED ON LINE 6. SERVING PATIENTS WITH GOVERNMENT HEALTH BENEFITS, SUCH AS MEDICARE, IS A COMPONENT OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD THAT TAX-EXEMPT HOSPITALS ARE HELD TO. THIS IMPLIES THAT SERVING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THAT THE HOSPITAL OPERATES TO PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY.
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 19D: THE RATE WHICH IS CHARGED TO THE INDIVIDUAL IS EITHER DETERMINED BY THE ELIGIBILITY APPROVAL FORM 162 OR MA DICTATES THE AMOUNT THAT CAN BE CHARGED TO THE INDIVIDUAL.	POCONO MEDICAL CENTER
PART VI, LINE 2: IN FISCAL YEAR 2012, POCONO HEALTH SYSTEM COLLABORATED WITH THE LOCAL UNIVERSITY AND PRESENTED A COMPREHENSIVE MONROE COUNTY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT. THIS DOCUMENT WAS PRESENTED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING AS A COMMUNITY FORUM TO PROVIDE A COMMUNICATION FLOW AND EXCHANGE OF IDEAS ON ADDRESSING THE IDENTIFIED NEEDS.INFORMATION WAS COLLECTED ON THE CURRENT STRENGTHS, CONCERNS, AND CONDITIONS OF CHILDREN, ADULTS, FAMILIES, AND THE COMMUNITY. THE ASSESSMENT IS BASED ON INFORMATION FROM MANY SOURCES, ELICITED BY MANY TECHNIQUES, AND INCLUDES OVER 50 SURVEYS OF KEY INFORMANTS, 2 FOCUS GROUPS, AND ANALYSIS OF SECONDARY DEMOGRAPHIC AND EPIDEMIOLOGICAL DATA. THIS COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT WAS DESIGNED AS A RAPID ASSESSMENT, AND IT IDENTIFIES KEY HEALTH TRENDS IN MONROE COUNTY ALONG THREE AREAS:1) DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS: HIGHLIGHTING THE MOST CRITICAL DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS AFFECTING MONROE COUNTY INCLUDING OVERALL POPULATION GROWTH, SOURCES OF POPULATION GROWTH, THE COUNTY'S CHANGING DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE, SOCIOECONOMIC PROFILE OF THE POPULATION, AND THE COUNTY'S ETHNIC AND RACIAL MAKEUP. IN THIS ANALYSIS THE ASSESSMENT COMPARES THE COUNTY WITH THE STATE AS WELL AS PEER COUNTIES IN PENNSYLVANIA. 2) EPIDEMIOLOGICAL PROFILE: PROVIDING AN EPIDEMIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF MONROE COUNTY, USING THE FOCUS AREAS IDENTIFIED IN HEALTHY PEOPLE 2010. IN THIS ANALYSIS THE ASSESSMENT COMPARES THE COUNTY WITH THE STATE AS WELL AS PEER COUNTIES IN PENNSYLVANIA. 3) KEY INFORMANTS: IDENTIFIES AND ANALYZES THE PERCEIVED NEEDS OF KEY INFORMANTS IN THE COUNTY WITH REGARD TO ISSUES THAT AFFECT THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF THE COUNTY RESIDENTS.4) FOCUS GROUPS: A QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE PERCEIVED NEEDS OF KEY INFORMANTS IN THE COUNTY WITH REGARD TO ISSUES THAT AFFECT THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF THE COUNTY RESIDENTS. 5) SUMMARY OF FINDINGS: PROVIDES A LIST OF THE FINDINGS OF THE VARIOUS DATA SOURCES.EPIDEMIOLOGICAL AND DEMOGRAPHIC DATA WERE COLLECTED AND ANALYZED FOR THE COUNTY ARE EXTRACTED FROM THE FOLLOWING SOURCES:-UNITED STATES CENSUS BUREAU-PA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH: HEALTHY PEOPLE 2010 OBJECTIVES-PA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH: BEHAVIORAL RISK FACTOR SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM-PA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH: ANALYSIS OF CANCER INCIDENCE IN PENNSYLVANIA COUNTIES-PA DEPT. OF PUBLIC WELFARE-PA CENTER FOR RURAL PENNSYLVANIAKEY INFORMANT SURVEYSWEB-BASED SURVEYS WERE SENT TO KEY INFORMANTS IN 180 INSTITUTIONS IN THE COUNTY. THESE KEY INFORMANTS REPRESENTED THE: A) BUSINESS SECTOR, B) THE GOVERNMENT SECTOR, C) THE NONPROFIT SECTOR, D) THE EDUCATIONAL SECTOR AND E) FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATIONS. FOCUS GROUPSTWO FOCUS GROUPS WITH 10 COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVES WERE CONVENED IN THE FALL OF 2010. THE FOCUS GROUPS ASKED PARTICIPANTS TO DISCUSS THE STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES IN MONROE COUNTY THROUGH THE COMMUNITY HEALTH FRAMEWORK MODEL. THE RESULTS OF THE FOCUS GROUPS ARE PRESENTED IN THE REPORT BUT THEY WERE ALSO USED TO PREPARE THE KEY INFORMANT SURVEY.DATA ANALYSISTHE ASSESSMENT ORGANIZED ITS DATA COLLECTION TO CONFORM WITH THE ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON FOUNDATION'S COUNTY HEALTH RANKINGS FRAMEWORK, AND THE DEMOGRAPHIC AND EPIDEMIOLOGIC USED VARIOUS GEOGRAPHIC AREAS OF MONROE COUNTY TO ORGANIZE AND COMPARE DATA. THE ANALYSIS ALSO COMPARED MONROE COUNTY WITH TWO COMPARATIVE VALUES OR GROUPS-PEER GROUP COUNTIES AND THE STATE. THIS ALLOWED THE ASSESSMENT TO COMPARE MONROE COUNTY TO THE STATE AVERAGE AS WELL AS THREE PEER COUNTIES WITHIN PENNSYLVANIA WITH REGARD TO KEY EPIDEMIOLOGIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC DATA. PEER COUNTIES WERE SELECTED BY IDENTIFYING COUNTIES SHARING SIMILAR COMMUNITY HEALTH-RELATED FACTORS. THE FOLLOWING FOUR FACTORS WERE USED TO DEFINE THE COUNTIES: A) POPULATION SIZE; B) POVERTY, C) MEDIAN AGE AND D) POPULATION DENSITY. FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS STUDY MONROE WAS COMPARED TO: A) BUTLER COUNTY, B) CUMBERLAND COUNTY, C) DAUPHIN COUNTY, D) PENNSYLVANIA AND E) THE U.S.THE DATA WAS ANALYZED USING BASIC DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS TO IDENTIFY TRENDS AND TO COMPARE MONROE WITH THE COMPARISON GROUP. SUMMARY OF FINDINGSTHE FINDINGS OF THE ASSESSMENT SHOWS THAT MONROE COUNTY'S POPULATION HAS EXPERIENCED AMONG THE GREATEST POPULATION GROWTH IN THE STATE, AND THIS GROWTH HAS QUICKLY INCREASED THE COUNTY'S RACIAL AND ETHNIC DIVERSITY. THE COUNTY HAS HIGH LEVELS OF POVERTY THAT TEND TO BE CONCENTRATED IN CERTAIN AREAS OF THE COUNTY, PLUS IT HAS NOT SEEN RAPID INCREASE IN HOUSEHOLD INCOMES.THE COUNTY HAS LOWER THAN EXPECTED NUMBER OF PHYSICIANS. IT ALSO HAS LOWER RATES OF MOST CANCERS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF LUNG CANCER PLUS HIGHER THAN EXPECTED RATES OF SMOKING AND HEAVY DRINKING. MONROE COUNTY HAS HIGH LEVELS OF WOMEN RECEIVING NO PRE-NATAL CARE. THE COUNTY ALSO HAS SLIGHTLY HIGHER RATE OF SUICIDE. THE PRIMARY DATA COLLECTED THROUGH THE SURVEYS AND FOCUS GROUPS CONFIRMS MANY OF THESE FINDINGS, BUT ALSO HIGHLIGHTS THE GAP IN BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES AND PREVENTION SERVICES.THE FINDINGS OF THE INDIVIDUAL SECTIONS ARE HIGHLY INTERRELATED. MANY OF THE OUTCOMES AND SOCIAL/BEHAVIORAL FACTORS HAVE THEIR FOUNDATIONS IN SYSTEMIC FACTORS. THE QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DATA SHOWS THAT CERTAIN THEMES AND FACTORS WERE IDENTIFIED WITH GREATEST FREQUENCY, AND CAN BE ORGANIZED IN THREE GENERAL CATEGORIES.OUTCOMES - POOR OUTCOMES IN:-CANCER-ORAL HEALTH-MATERNAL HEALTH-VIOLENCESOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL FACTORS - RISKY BEHAVIOR WITH REGARD TO:-SUBSTANCE ABUSE-ALCOHOLISM-SMOKING-POOR NUTRITIONSYSTEMIC FACTORS:-LACK OF PRIMARY CARE (INCLUDING DENTAL CARE)-LACK OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH-LACK OF PREVENTIVE SERVICES-POOR TRANSPORTATION-LIMITED BUILT ENVIRONMENTBY CROSS-TABULATING THESE THREE SETS OF INDICATORS AND USING THE ESTABLISHED CORRELATIONS FOUND IN THE LITERATURE BETWEEN THE SYSTEMIC FACTORS AND THE IDENTIFIED OUTCOMES AND OBSERVED BEHAVIORS, IT BECOMES APPARENT THAT THE FIVE SYSTEMIC FACTORS IDENTIFIED ARE HIGHLY INTERRELATED WITH THE OUTCOME INDICATORS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED. ACCORDING TO THIS LOGIC, INTERVENTIONS IN THE COMMUNITY THAT ADDRESS THE KNOWN SYSTEMIC FACTORS MAY EFFECTIVELY ADDRESS THE MORE SPECIFIC CRITICAL HEALTH OUTCOMES. FOR EXAMPLE, THE LACK OF PREVENTIVE HEALTH SERVICES IS A ROOT CAUSE OF ALL THE SPECIFIC HEALTH AND BEHAVIORAL OUTCOMES IDENTIFIED-NO PRE-NATAL CARE, MENTAL ILLNESS, CANCER, POOR NUTRITION, ETC. MONROE COUNTY POSSESSES THE QUALITIES AND THE ASSETS REQUIRED TO ENHANCE THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF ITS RESIDENTS, AND TO IMPROVE ITS ALREADY GOOD QUALITY OF LIFE. THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS ASSETS OF THE COUNTY ARE A CRITICAL COMPONENT OF AN OVERALL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROCESS. THE BARRIERS TO HEALTH AND WELL-BEING THAT THE RESIDENTS OF MONROE COUNTY FACE ARE VARIED AND AFFECT EVERY SEGMENT OF THE COMMUNITY. THE COUNTY'S RESIDENTS REPORT GOOD QUALITY CARE AND DON'T HIGHLIGHT AN ACUTE SHORTAGE OF MEDICAL CARE. HOWEVER THE DATA SHOWS A NEED OF PROGRAMS THAT FOCUS ON PRIMARY CARE, PREVENTION AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, PREVENTION, AND PRIMARY CARE. ANY BROAD INITIATIVE LOOKING TO ENHANCE THE COUNTY'S QUALITY OF LIFE MUST BE PREDICATED ON THE AVAILABILITY OF PRIMARY CARE, ACCESS TO DISEASE PREVENTION AND HEALTH PROMOTION PROGRAMS, AND SYSTEMS CONDUCIVE TO SOCIAL WELLNESS.THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS OF MONROE COUNTY RESIDENTS IS BEING AFFECTED DETRIMENTALLY BY A SYSTEMIC LACK OF:-OVERALL PRIMARY CARE.-PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS THAT STRENGTHEN MATERNAL HEALTH CARE.-INITIATIVES IMPROVING ACCESS TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROGRAMS.-PROGRAMS PROMOTING HEALTHY ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES (SPECIALLY TARGETING SMOKING, DRINKING AND NUTRITION).-PROGRAMS ENSURING ACCESS TO THE BASIC DENTAL CARE.THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS OF MONROE COUNTY RESIDENTS WOULD IMPROVE SIGNIFICANTLY THROUGH INITIATIVES THAT:-PROVIDE RESIDENTS WITH INFORMATION AND KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED TO ATTAIN THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF HEALTH AND WELLNESS.-ENCOURAGE THE CREATION AND SUPPORT THE MAINTENANCE OF INFORMATION AND REFERRAL SYSTEMS FOR CONSUMERS.-PROMOTE POLICY CHANGES AND STRENGTHEN PROGRAMS THAT WILL IMPROVE ACCESS TO INFORMATION AND PRIMARY, SECONDARY, AND TERTIARY PREVENTION PROGRAMS.-ASSIST SAFETY-NET PROVIDERS WHO OFFER SERVICES TO HIGH-RISK, UNDERSERVED PEOPLE AND TO THE DISADVANTAGED IN THE COMMUNITY.-PROMOTE PROGRAMS THAT ENCOURAGE PREVENTION AMONG HIGH-RISK, UNDERSERVED AND/OR DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES.
PART VI, LINE 3: PATIENTS WHO EXPRESS A NEED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ARE INITIALLY OFFERED A DISCOUNT OF CHARGES AND/OR A PAYMENT PLAN. ONCE A DETERMINATION HAS BEEN MADE THAT A PATIENT IS UNINSURED, THEY ARE PROVIDED A COPY OF THE CHARITY POLICY AS WELL AS AN APPLICATION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. PMC'S CHARITY POLICY IS POSTED IN INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT AREAS AND ON THE PHS WEB SITE. A NOTICE IS ALSO PROVIDED IN THE PATIENTS' BILLS AND TO LOCAL SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES. PMC REVIEWS COMPLETED APPLICATIONS AGAINST ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA SET FORTH IN THE POLICY. ALL PRE-REGISTRATION, REGISTRATION, BUSINESS OFFICE AND PATIENT FINANCIAL SERVICES STAFF RECEIVE TRAINING AS TO THE POLICY.
PART VI, LINE 4: POCONO MEDICAL CENTER PRIMARILY SERVES MONROE COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA AND ADJACENT AREAS. MONROE COUNTY IS 608.5 SQUARE MILES. THE COUNTY BORDERS THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY. ACCORDING TO THE 2011 U.S. CENSUS BUREAU, THE ESTIMATED POPULATION FOR FISCAL YEAR 2012 IN MONROE COUNTY WAS 169,882 WITH A RACIAL MIX OF 70.1 PERCENT WHITE, 14.2 PERCENT BLACK, 13.5 PERCENT HISPANIC OR LATINO AND THE REMAINING 2.2 PERCENT WAS ALL OTHER RACES. A LITTLE OVER 89 PERCENT OF MONROE COUNTY RESIDENTS POSSESS A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA, A LITTLE OVER 23 PERCENT OF THE POPULATION HAVING A BACHELOR'S DEGREE OR HIGHER. THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE FOR MONROE COUNTY SURPASSES THE STATE AVERAGE OF 7.5 PERCENT WITH A RATE OF 9.2 PERCENT, BUT IS ONLY SLIGHTLY OVER THE NATIONAL AVERAGE OF 8.2 PERCENT.
PART VI, LINE 5: AS AN ORGANIZATION DEEPLY ROOTED IN SERVING THE COMMUNITY, WE TAKE SERIOUSLY OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ADDRESS THEIR DIVERSE AND CHALLENGING HEALTHCARE NEEDS. IN THE LAST FISCAL YEAR ALONE, PMC PROVIDED MORE THAN $22 MILLION IN SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY. THESE SERVICES INCLUDED DIRECT PATIENT CARE, MEDICAL ASSISTANCE SHORTFALL, CHARITY CARE AT COST, BAD DEBT EXPENSE AT COST, COMMUNITY EDUCATION AND PREVENTION, COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS AND SUPPORT, PROFESSIONAL AND PATIENT EDUCATION, AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO THE MONROE COUNTY FAMILY HEALTH CENTER, THE COMMONWEALTH MEDICAL COLLEGE, AND PMC AUXILIARY. BY TAKING CARE OF OUR COMMUNITY THROUGH HEALTH EDUCATION, PREVENTION, AND SCREENINGS, WE ARE ABLE TO FULFILL OUR MISSION OF DELIVERING WORLD-CLASS CARE, CLOSE TO HOME - A SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP WE CONSIDER PRICELESS. AS A MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL SPIRIT OF WOMEN NETWORK, WE PROVIDE HEALTH PROMOTION OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AND EVENTS. WE BELIEVE THAT HEALTHY LIFESTYLES EDUCATION BEGINS EARLY IN LIFE AND THIS YEAR LAUNCHED OUR SPIRIT GIRLS PROGRAM AS AN EXTENSION OF SPIRIT OF WOMEN TO ENCOURAGE HEALTHY LIFESTYLES AND PROMOTE SELF-ESTEEM FOR EIGHTH-GRADE GIRLS LIVING IN MONROE COUNTY. PMC ALSO CLOSELY PARTNERS WITH THE GREATER POCONO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TO OFFER A HEALTH PROGRAM TO NEW MEMBERS AND SHARES INFORMATION REGULARLY TO HELP FOSTER HEALTHY WORKPLACES. GIVEN THE COMMUNITY HIGH UTILIZATION OF CRITICAL SERVICES, PMC CLOSELY PARTNERS WITH THE AMERICAN RED CROSS TO OFFER BLOOD DRIVES MONTHLY TO ENSURE AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY TO MEET THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF PATIENTS. IN AN EFFORT TO INCREASE DONORS, PMC ENGAGES COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO HELP SPREAD THE WORD. PMC ALSO WORKS WITH CHANNEL 13 BLUE RIDGE CABLE TO OFFER PATHWAYS TO HEALTHY LIVING WHICH IS AN INTERACTIVE MONTHLY HEALTH EDUCATION SHOW. FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS, PMC HAS PARTNERED WITH POCONO ALLIANCE TO OBTAIN A GRANT FROM THE PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TO OFFER FREE INFLUENZA IMMUNIZATIONS TO HIGH RISK AND SENIOR POPULATIONS. THIS HAS RESULTED IN OVER A THOUSAND OF INDIVIDUALS VACCINATED. THROUGH THE DALE AND FRANCES HUGHES CANCER CENTER, WELLNESS INSTITUTE, SPIRIT OF WOMEN, AND OTHERS, WE OFFER FREE HEALTH SCREENINGS AND RISK ASSESSMENTS TO COMMUNITY RESIDENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THESE INCLUDE BREAST, PROSTATE, COLON, SKIN, PERIPHERAL ARTERY DISEASE, CARDIAC, AMONG OTHERS. PMC ALSO OFFERS A SPEAKER'S BUREAU PROGRAM WHICH SENDS HEALTH PROFESSIONALS INTO THE COMMUNITY TO SPEAK TO STUDENTS, RESIDENTS, AND OTHERS ON A MYRIAD OF HEALTH MATTERS. WE ROUTINELY ATTEND EVENTS IN THE COMMUNITY TO SHARE HEALTH INFORMATION AND PROVIDE SCREENINGS AND RISK ASSESSMENTS. PMC PROVIDES PROFESSIONAL HEALTH COURSES AT OUR LEARNING INSTITUTE FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS AND FIRST RESPONDERS IN THE COMMUNITY. WE ALSO FEATURE VARIOUS SUPPORT GROUPS, EDUCATION CLASSES, AMONG OTHER OPPORTUNITIES TO ENGAGE OUR COMMUNITY IN THEIR HEALTH. ONE OF PMC'S MAJOR COMMUNITY INITIATIVES IS CALLED COMMUNITY HEALTH CONNECTIONS. THIS EFFORT DEVELOPED AFTER THE MONROE COUNTY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT RESULTS WERE REVEALED TO THE COMMUNITY IN OCTOBER 2011. A STEERING COMMITTEE COMPRISED OF BUSINESS, GOVERNMENT, LAW ENFORCEMENT, EDUCATION, AMONG OTHERS WAS FORMED AND THEY DECIDED IT WAS BEST TO FOCUS ON BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS ISSUES. PMC THEN ENGAGED THE COMMUNITY BY INVITING THOSE INTERESTED TO BECOME A PART OF THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS WORKING GROUPS. THESE GROUPS HAVE MET THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND SHARED IDEAS AND STRATEGIES TO HELP IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF MONROE COUNTY. THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH GROUP WORKED WITH THE GREATER POCONO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE'S LEADERSHIP POCONO PROGRAM TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PROVIDERS AND SYSTEM IN PLACE AND ALSO HAVE COLLABORATED ON THE NATIONAL DEPRESSION SCREENING DAY, NATIONAL SUICIDE SURVIVOR'S DAY, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS EDUCATION PROGRAM. THE WELLNESS GROUP FIRST IDENTIFIED EXISTING COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND ACCESSIBILITY/AWARENESS OF THE OBESITY ISSUE. THEY DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS A LACK OF INFRASTRUCTURE TO ENGAGE, ENROLL, EDUCATE, NOTIFY INDIVIDUALS OF COMMUNITY EVENTS, AND TRACK PARTICIPATION/OUTCOMES. THERE IS ALSO A FOCUS ON TOBACCO INTERVENTION THROUGH PMC'S FREE SMOKING CESSATION PROGRAM. OVER THE YEAR, 28 CLIENTS ENROLLED WITH A 30% SELF-REPORTED 30 DAY "QUIT RATE." PMC ALSO WORKED WITH EAST STROUDSBURG UNIVERSITY TO HOST THE GREAT AMERICAN SMOKE OUT WHICH FEATURED A SPEAKER FROM THE ORAL CANCER FOUNDATION. THROUGH THE COMMUNITY HEALTH CONNECTIONS EFFORTS, IT WAS DETERMINED TO ENGAGE AND PARTNER TO LAUNCH A COMMUNITY HEALTH PORTAL. THIS WILL BE AN ELECTRONIC PLATFORM THAT SEEKS TO INCREASE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND CREATE SUPPORTIVE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN PEOPLE IN NEED AND PEOPLE WHO CARE. IN ADDITION, IT WILL MAXIMIZE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF EXISTING HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICE RESOURCES. THE PORTAL WILL ALSO HAVE AN UPDATED CALENDAR OF EVENTS, COMMUNITY PARTNERS PARTICIPATING, AND A SOCIAL NETWORKING COMPONENT THAT WILL ALLOW FOR INTERACTION BETWEEN THE USERS AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS. PMC HAS ALSO SERVED AS THE MEDICAL SERVICE PROVIDER TO LARGE-SCALE EVENTS INCLUDING THE 2011 AND 2012 IRONMAN 70.3 COMPETITION AND RED CROSS RUN FOR THE RED POCONO MARATHON. CARL WILGUS, PRESIDENT/CEO, POCONO MOUNTAINS VISITORS BUREAU HAD COMMENTED THAT: "KNOWING THAT WE HAD THE BACK-UP OF POCONO MEDICAL CENTER AS WELL AS THE SAFETY NET OF THE ENTIRE POCONO HEALTH SYSTEM MEANT KNOWING THAT OUR ATHLETES WOULD RECEIVE TOP-NOTCH MEDICAL ATTENTION DELIVERED WITH HOMETOWN CARE." PMC ALSO PARTNERS WITH AREA COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES. MOST RECENTLY, PMC WORKED WITH EAST STROUDSBURG UNIVERSITY (ESU) TO TRAIN HEALTH SCIENCE STUDENTS IN ORDER FOR THEM TO BECOME HEALTH COACHES. STUDIES SHOW THAT HALF OF ALL PATIENTS LEAVE HOSPITALS AND DOCTORS' OFFICES WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING THE ADVICE THEY WERE GIVEN AND THE MAJORITY DON'T FOLLOW MOST OF THE INSTRUCTIONS. FOR CHRONIC ILLNESSES SUCH AS DIABETES AND HEART DISEASE, TOO OFTEN THOSE PATIENTS QUICKLY END UP BACK IN THE HOSPITAL. AN INNOVATIVE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN ESU AND PMC AIMS TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF PATIENTS AND CURB READMISSIONS BY TRAINING A SELECT GROUP OF VOLUNTEER STUDENTS TO ACT AS HEALTH COACHES. IN THE FALL, THE 12 STUDENT VOLUNTEERS TOOK A COURSE PARTLY TAUGHT BY PMC HEALTH PROFESSIONALS ON HOW TO RECOGNIZE SIGNS THAT A PATIENT MIGHT NEED MEDICAL HELP, WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN PATIENTS' ENVIRONMENTS THAT MIGHT HAMPER THEIR RECOVERY, AND HOW TO COACH THEM ON FOLLOWING DOCTORS' RECOMMENDATIONS. ESU AND PMC OFFICIALS BELIEVE THAT PATIENTS WHO MIGHT BE HESITANT TO CALL THEIR DOCTORS WITH QUESTIONS ARE MORE LIKELY TO TELL THE STUDENTS ABOUT PROBLEMS THEY MAY BE HAVING. SUCH A PROGRAM IS ALSO VALUABLE TO THE STUDENTS, WHO WILL GAIN INSIGHT INTO HOW TO WORK WITH PATIENTS, IN ADDITION TO LEARNING LESSONS ON PRIVACY AND MEDICAL ETHICS ISSUES. SO FAR, STUDENTS TAKING PART INCLUDE THOSE MAJORING IN COMMUNITY HEALTH, EXERCISE SCIENCE, ATHLETIC TRAINING, AND PRE-PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT PROGRAMS.
