PMC PROVIDES SUPERIOR CARDIAC AND CANCER CARE AT OUR ESSA HEART AND VASCULAR INSTITUTE AND DALE AND FRANCES HUGHES CANCER CENTER, AND A SUITE OF SERVICES INCLUDING SURGICAL, LABORATORY, RADIOLOGY, ALONG WITH WOMEN'S AND CHILDREN'S CARE.IN FISCAL YEAR 2011, THE MEDICAL CENTER HAD 11,982 ADMISSIONS, 5,265 OF WHICH WERE MEDICARE AND 51,906 PATIENT DAYS, 26,505 OF WHICH WERE MEDICARE. NEARLY 6,000 SURGERIES (6,124) WERE COMPLETED, AND THE MEDICAL CENTER RECEIVED 222,658 OUTPATIENT VISITS. PMC PROVIDED MORE THAN $13 MILLION ($13,498,052) IN SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY THIS FISCAL YEAR. THESE FUNDS TAKE THE FORM OF DIRECT PATIENT CARE, COMMUNITY HEALTH EDUCATION, PROFESSIONAL AND PATIENT EDUCATION, AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS. POCONO MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDES QUALITY, COST-EFFECTIVE, HEALTHCARE REGARDLESS OF RACE, CREED, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN, HANDICAP, AGE, OR ABILITY TO PAY. 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. EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTPMC PROVIDES A NUMBER OF DIRECT PATIENT CARE SERVICES TO THE UN- AND UNDERINSURED IN OUR COMMUNITY. THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT TYPICALLY SERVES AS THE PRINCIPAL MEANS OF HEALTHCARE FOR THESE PATIENTS. AS THE ONLY REGIONAL COMMUNITY HOSPITAL WITH A SIGNIFICANT POPULATION OF UN- AND UNDERINSURED, OUR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT SEES IN EXCESS OF 80,000 CASES ANNUALLY. FISCAL YEAR 2011 WAS THE FIRST TIME THE ED HAD SEEN MORE THAN 89,000 VISITS (89,083), A STATISTIC THAT SPEAKS TO THE GROWING NEED FOR THIS SERVICE IN OUR AREA. IN ADDITION, PMC'S CLEMENTINE ABELOFF COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE PEDIATRIC AND DENTAL CARE FOR OUR REGION'S UN- AND UNDERINSURED CHILDREN (SEE ADDITIONAL NARRATIVE FOR MORE DETAILS). ESSA HEART AND VASCULAR INSTITUTEPMC'S ESSA HEART AND VASCULAR INSTITUTE (HVI) PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE CARE FOR ADDRESSING THE NUMBER ONE KILLER OF ADULTS IN OUR COUNTY, HEART DISEASE.

ADDITIONALLY THE PROGRAM HAS BEEN AWARDED FULL ACCREDITATION BY THE SOCIETY OF CHEST PAIN CENTERS AS A HEART FAILURE CENTER AND A CHEST PAIN CENTER. THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE CONTINUED ABILITY TO EXCEED THE NATIONAL 90-MINUTE DOOR-TO-BALLOON BENCHMARK FOR TREATING HEART ATTACK PATIENTS.THE HVI TEAM AT PMC WAS ALSO NAMED IN THE 50 TOP-RATED HEART BY-PASS SURGICAL GROUPS IN THE NATION BY CONSUMER REPORTS' AS REPORTED IN THE POCONO RECORD FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW.FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF OUR PATIENTS AND TO IMPROVE OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCIES, WE HAVE CENTRALIZED OUR CARDIAC CARE SERVICES AND PROVIDE A HEART RHYTHM CENTER. THE CARDIAC CATHETERIZATION LABS, CARDIAC REHABILITATION DEPARTMENT, AND VARIOUS NON-INVASIVE CARDIAC SERVICES (SUCH AS PACEMAKER CHECKS, CARDIAC STRESS TESTING, NUCLEAR STRESS TESTING, PULMONARY REHAB, AND STRESS ECHO) WERE RELOCATED TO OFFER COMPREHENSIVE HEART CARE IN ONE LOCATION. IN ADDITION TO OFFERING MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGICAL PROCEDURES TO TREAT HEART ARRHYTHMIAS, THE NEW HEART RHYTHM CENTER INTRODUCED A FULLY EQUIPPED ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY (EP) LAB. THE EP LAB PROVIDES ATRIAL AND VENTRICULAR NODE DIAGNOSTICS AND ABLATION, INTRA CARDIAC 3D ECHO AND 3D CARDIO CAPABILITIES, AS WELL AS BI-VENTRICULAR PACEMAKERS-SERVICES PATIENTS PREVIOUSLY NEEDED TO TRAVEL TO OTHER FACILITIES TO RECEIVE. LEVEL II NICUIN FISCAL YEAR 2010, PMC OFFICIALLY OPENED THE DOORS TO A BRAND NEW LEVEL II NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT (NICU). STAFFED BY A HIGHLY SPECIALIZED TEAM OF NEONATOLOGISTS AND NEONATAL NURSES, OUR NICU IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING THE HIGHEST QUALITY HEALTHCARE FOR NEWBORNS NEEDING ADVANCED MEDICAL CARE. ALONG WITH OUR EXPERIENCED STAFF, OUR STATE-OF-THE-ART NICU TECHNOLOGY PROVIDES THE MOST SOPHISTICATED MONITORING AND CARE FOR ANY BABY WEIGHING OVER JUST 1,000 GRAMS (2LBS, 3OZ). MOREOVER, OUR RONALD MCDONALD ROOM PROVIDES PARENTS WITH AN IDEAL ENVIRONMENT TO FACILITATE THE TRANSITION FROM NICU TO HOME. PARENTS ARE ABLE TO CARE FOR THEIR INFANTS WITH CLOSE NURSING SUPPORT, THUS EASING ANXIETY, SUPPLEMENTING THEIR EDUCATION, AND PREPARING THEM FOR SUCCESS AT HOME. PMC IS PROUD TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE THIS SERVICE CLOSE TO HOME FOR OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS, WHO PREVIOUSLY HAD TO TRAVEL OUT OF THE AREA TO RECEIVE THIS LEVEL OF CARE FOR THEIR BABIES. MEDICAL HOMEIN FISCAL YEAR 2011, IN OUR CONTINUAL EFFORT TO MEET AND EXCEED THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY, POCONO MEDICAL CENTER (PMC) HAS TRANSITIONED FROM OUTPATIENT, PRIMARY CARE PRACTICES TO OFFER COMPREHENSIVE MEDICAL HOMES. THIS APPROACH TOWARD PROVIDING HEALTHCARE SERVICE IS DELIVERED BY A PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN LEADING A TEAM OF HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS. THE FOCUS OF THE TEAM IS TO COORDINATE WELLNESS AND PREVENTIVE CARE, CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT, AND ADVANCED INFORMATION. THE MEDICAL HOME WILL ALSO ENCOURAGE EASIER ACCESS TO MEDICAL RECORDS AND STAFF. THESE TOOLS PROVIDE CAREGIVERS ACCESS TO MEDICAL RECORDS ACROSS THE HEALTH SYSTEM AND ALL OF PMC'S CARE SITES. THE PATIENT PORTAL ENABLES PATIENTS TO OBTAIN TEST RESULTS, SCHEDULE APPOINTMENTS, REQUEST PRESCRIPTION REFILLS, AND ASK CAREGIVERS QUESTIONS WITH REMOTE WEB ACCESS. THE SUCCESS OF THE EXISTING MEDICAL HOME IS LEADING THE WAY FOR AN ADDITIONAL MEDICAL HOME TO BE BUILT IN THE NEAR FUTURE.PATIENT PORTALPMC PHYSICIAN ASSOCIATES PROVIDED ACCESS TO E-CLINICAL WORKS (ECW)'S PATIENT PORTAL, A WEB-BASED TOOL THAT ENABLES PATIENTS AND PROVIDERS THE ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE SAFELY AND SECURELY VIA THE INTERNET. THE PATIENT PORTAL HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED THROUGHOUT ALL PMC PHYSICIAN ASSOCIATES PRACTICES AND CONTINUES TO GROW IN EFFICIENCY AND POPULARITY WITH PATIENT CARE. THE ONLINE PATIENT PORTAL ENABLES PATIENTS TO BE MORE PROACTIVE IN MANAGING THEIR HEALTHCARE, GIVING THEM THE CAPABILITY TO REQUEST NEW APPOINTMENTS, VIEW THEIR APPOINTMENT HISTORY, REQUEST MEDICATION REFILLS, VIEW LAB AND DIAGNOSTIC REPORTS, UPDATE THEIR CONTACT INFORMATION, SEND EMAILS TO THE PRACTICES, REVIEW BILLING STATEMENTS, AND VIEW THEIR IMMUNIZATION CHARTS-ALL FROM THE CONVENIENCE OF THEIR COMPUTERS VIA A SECURE LOGIN TO THE ONLINE PORTAL, WHICH IS ACCESSIBLE FROM THE MYPMCDOCS.COM WEB SITE.LEVEL III TRAUMATHE LEVEL III TRAUMA DESIGNATION, BRINGING AN ADVANCED, LIFESAVING LEVEL OF CARE FOR SEVERELY INJURED PATIENTS, CLOSE TO HOME. THIS MILESTONE ALLOWS US TO PROVIDE QUALITY, PATIENT-CENTERED TRAUMA CARE TO THE INDIVIDUALS WHO LIVE, VISIT, AND WORK IN OUR COMMUNITY. OUR COORDINATED, COMPREHENSIVE TEAM OF TRAUMA SURGEONS, ORTHOPEDIC SURGEONS, CARDIAC SURGEONS, RADIOLOGISTS, NURSES, LAB'S IMAGING TECHNICIANS, AND OTHER SUPPORT STAFF ARE AVAILABLE 24 HOURS A DAY, 365 DAYS A YEAR. SPINE SURGERY PROGRAMTHE ADDITION OF A SPINE SURGERY PROGRAM IN FISCAL YEAR 2009 ALLOWS PMC TO TREAT PATIENTS WITH THE LATEST TECHNIQUES IN ALL ASPECTS OF SPINE SURGERY CARE. THE SPINE PROGRAM OFFERS COMPREHENSIVE CARE FOR THE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF VARIOUS BACK AND SPINE CONDITIONS, INCLUDING ADULT SPINAL DEFORMITY, LUMBAR AND CERVICAL DISC ARTHROPLASTY, SCOLIOSIS, DEGENERATIVE DISC DISEASE, SPINAL STENOSIS, AND OTHER CONDITIONS. NON-SURGICAL AND SURGICAL TREATMENTS AVAILABLE INCLUDE MINIMALLY INVASIVE PROCEDURES FOR COMPLEX SPINAL CONDITIONS, SUCH AS THE INNOVATIVE X-STOP PROCEDURE. IN FY 2011, THE DEPARTMENT OF SURGERY AT POCONO MEDICAL CENTER (PMC) PERFORMED ITS FIRST ANTERIOR LUMBAR INTERBODY FUSION (ALIF) TO TREAT A PATIENT'S SEVERE BACK PAIN. THIS PAIN IS CAUSED BY NATURAL AND TRAUMATIC DEGENERATION OF THE DISC SPACE IN THE SPINE. ALIF OCCURS THROUGH A SMALL INCISION MADE IN THE ABDOMEN. THROUGH ALIF, DAMAGED SPINAL DISCS ARE REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH TEMPORARY IMPLANTS. ADVANTAGES TO ALIF ARE SIGNIFICANT AND INCLUDE LESS BLOOD LOSS, SHORTER SURGICAL TIME, AND A QUICKER RECOVERY. THE PROCEDURE IS ALSO SIGNIFICANTLY LESS PAINFUL THAN TRADITIONAL SPINAL FUSION SURGERY, AS ALIF USES IMPLANTS INSTEAD OF BONE GRAFTS FROM PATIENTS' HIPS.	Description

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. THE WELLNESS DEPARTMENT WORKS WITH THE VARIOUS LOCAL SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES TO HOST PUBLIC WELLNESS AWARENESS EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
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: "THE MEDICAL CENTER REPORTS PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FOR SERVICES RENDERED AT NET REALIZABLE AMOUNTS FROM PATIENTS, THIRD-PARTY PAYORS AND OTHERS. THE MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS, WHICH IS BASED UPON A REVIEW OF OUTSTANDING RECEIVABLES, HISTORICAL COLLECTION INFORMATION AND EXISTING ECONOMIC CONDITIONS. AS A SERVICE TO THE PATIENT, THE MEDICAL CENTER BILLS THIRD-PARTY PAYORS DIRECTLY AND BILLS THE PATIENT WHEN THE PATIENT'S LIABILITY IS DETERMINED. PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE DUE IN FULL WHEN BILLED. ACCOUNTS ARE CONSIDERED DELINQUENT AND SUBSEQUENTLY WRITTEN OFF AS UNCOLLECTIBLE BASED ON INDIVIDUAL CREDIT EVALUATION AND SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE PATIENT."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 2011 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 VI, LINE 2: OVERVIEWPHS CONTRACTED EAST STROUDSBURG UNIVERSITY'S DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH STUDIES IN SEPTEMBER 2010 AT A COST OF $5,500 TO PERFORM A "COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT" OF MONROE COUNTY RESIDENTS. HOWEVER, PHS' PLANNING DEPARTMENT WAS TAKING VARIOUS STEPS TO PLAN FOR THIS PROJECT AT LEAST A YEAR PRIOR TO THIS OFFICIAL DATE DUE TO THEIR INVOLVEMENT IN THE STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS. THE "COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT" WAS DIRECTED BY POCONO HEALTH SYSTEM (PHS) AS PART OF ITS CONTINUED MANDATE TO ADDRESS THE HEALTH CONCERNS OF THE RESIDENTS OF MONROE COUNTY. THE REPORT REPRESENTED PHS' FIRST COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT AND IT WILL BE USED TO GUIDE THE NEW STRATEGIC PLAN AND MAP ITS FUTURE RESPONSES TO THE NEEDS OF THE COUNTY. 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. THE ASSESSMENT ORGANIZED ITS DATA COLLECTION TO CONFORM WITH THE ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON FOUNDATION'S COUNTY HEALTH RANKINGS FRAMEWORK. PHS ALSO LEARNED THROUGH THE ASSESSMENT THAT OUR OWN STRATEGIC PLAN BASED ON THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY WAS CLOSELY MATCHING UP WITH THE SUMMARY OF FINDINGS.IMPACTTHE REPORT WAS SHARED WITH THE COMMUNITY IN A PUBLIC MEETING WITH THE SUPPORT OF A PANEL CONSISTING OF MEMBERS FROM GOVERNMENT, EDUCATION, HUMAN SERVICES, LAW ENFORCEMENT, TRANSPORTATION, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, FAITH-BASED, AND BUSINESS COMMUNITIES. THE PANEL CAME TOGETHER ON OCTOBER 12, 2011 AND DISCUSSED THEIR THOUGHTS BASED ON THE FINDINGS TO OVER 75 MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. MANY SECTORS OF THE POPULATION WERE REPRESENTED INCLUDING THE LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, PUBLIC, PRIVATE, AND HIGHER EDUCATION, HUMAN SERVICES, LAW ENFORCEMENT, TRANSPORTATION, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, FAITH-BASED, BUSINESS, PHS LEADERSHIP AND STAFF MEMBERS, AS WELL AS PHS BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THE MEDIA INCLUDING THE POCONO RECORD AND CHANNEL 13 ALSO COVERED THE EVENT. COMMUNITY HEALTH CONNECTIONS IS ONGOING WITH MEETINGS SCHEDULED THROUGHOUT 2012 AS WE SEEK TO ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY AND WORK COLLABORATIVELY TO ADDRESS BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS ISSUES.LESSONS LEARNED AND FUTURE GOALSA COPY OF THE REPORT, PREVIOUS POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS, AND INFORMATION ABOUT THE INITIATIVE HAS BEEN POSTED TO THE PHS WEB SITE. WE HAVE ALSO ENGAGED MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA. AT THE MEETING ON JANUARY 25, 2012, MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY IN ATTENDANCE WERE BROKEN UP INTO TWO WORKING GROUPS (BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS) AND THEY ARE LOOKING AT THE RESULTS OF THE HEALTH ASSESSMENT AND THEN WORKING COLLABORATIVELY TO FIND POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS. ANOTHER IMPORTANT GOAL THAT EMERGED THROUGH THIS INITIATIVE IS THE NEED FOR COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO PARTNER AND COLLABORATE ON GRANT OPPORTUNITIES. SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THIS PROJECT, THREE SUBMITTED GRANT OPPORTUNITIES HAVE COME TO FRUITION. THE WORKING GROUPS HAVE ABOUT 25 MEMBERS EACH REPRESENTING VARIOUS SECTORS OF THE COMMUNITY. EACH WORKING GROUP HAS TWO PHS OFFICIALS WHO WILL REPORT PROGRESS TO THE STEERING COMMITTEE WHICH INCLUDES MEMBERS FROM THE OCTOBER 12 PANEL AS WELL AS PHS LEADERSHIP. THE WORKING GROUPS WILL MEET AT THE HOSPITAL EVERY OTHER MONTH WHICH BEGAN IN MARCH AND THEN THE STEERING COMMITTEE MEETS THE OPPOSITE MONTH.
PART VI, LINE 3: PATIENT 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. PMCS CHARITY POLICY IS POSTED IN INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT AREAS AND ON THE WEBSITE. 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 RECEIVED TRAINING AS TO THE POLICY.
PART VI, LINE 4: POCONO MEDICAL CENTER PRIMARILY SERVES MONROE COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA AND ADJACENT AREAS. MONROE COUNTY IS 6,085 SQUARE MILES WITH 2,277 PERSONS PER SQUARE MILE. THE COUNTY BORDERS THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY. ACCORDING TO THE US CENSUS BUREAU, THE ESTIMATED POPULATION FOR FY10 IN MONROE COUNTY WAS 166,355 WITH A RACIAL MIX OF 84 PERCENT WHITE (12.7 PERCENT REPORTING BOTH WHITE AND HISPANIC ORIGIN), 12 PERCENT BLACK, AND THE REMAINING 4 PERCENT COMPRISED OF ASIAN, AMERICAN INDIAN, AND ALASKA NATIVE. ALMOST 84 PERCENT OF MONROE COUNTY RESIDENTS POSSESS A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA, A LITTLE OVER 20 PERCENT OF THE POPULATION HAVING A BACHELOR'S DEGREE OR HIGHER. THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE FOR MONROE COUNTY SURPASSES THE STATE AVERAGE OF 9 PERCENT WITH A RATE OF 9.8 PERCENTS, BUT IS ONLY SLIGHTLY OVER THE NATIONAL AVERAGE OF 9.6 PERCENT.
PART VI, LINE 6: POCONO MEDICAL CENTER EMPLOYEES PARTICIPATE IN MANY COMMUNITY INITIATIVES THAT FOCUS ON THE IMPROVEMENT ON THE OVERALL WELL-BEING OF THE COMMUNITY. THIS PARTICIPATION INCLUDES VOLUNTEERING FOR EVENTS, TIME, AND EXPERTISE DEDICATED TO SERVICE ON A VARIETY OF NON-PROFIT BOARD OF DIRECTORS, AND ALLOWING COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO HOST EVENTS USING THE HOSPITAL VENUE.
PART VI, LINE 7: POCONO MEDICAL CENTER (THE "MEDICAL CENTER") IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT, ACUTE-CARE HOSPITAL AFFILIATED WITH POCONO HEALTH SYSTEM (THE "HEALTH SYSTEM"). THE HEALTH SYSTEM IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT CORPORATION WHOSE PURPOSE IS TO SUPPORT PROGRAMMATICALLY AND FINANCIALLY THE ACTIVITIES OF THE MEDICAL CENTER AND OTHER ENTITIES IT CONTROLS.
