FIRST ACHIEVEMENT DESCRIPTION FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A CANCER CARE INCLUDING RADIATION THERAPY, TRAUMA CARE, NEUROLOGICAL CARE, HIGH-RISK OBSTETRICS, NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, AND CARDIOVASCULAR SERVICES. SPARROW TREATED MORE THAN 33,000 INPATIENTS, HAD MORE THAN 1.1 MILLION OUTPATIENT ENCOUNTERS, AND PROVIDED SERVICES TO ABOUT 115,000 EMERGENCY MEDICINE PATIENTS IN 2010. TODAY'S SPARROW HEALTH SYSTEM BLENDS THE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE OF ABOUT 900 PHYSICIANS, 7,500 ASSOCIATES AND APPROXIMATELY 2,000 VOLUNTEERS WITH THE MOST ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY, SERVING AS A COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH SYSTEM FOR AN EIGHT-COUNTY POPULATION. IN ADDITION, MORE PEOPLE CHOOSE SPARROW FOR THEIR MATERNITY NEEDS (ABOUT 4,000 DELIVERIES ANNUALLY), REHABILITATION, AND EMERGENCY TREATMENT THAN ANY OTHER HOSPITAL IN MID-MICHIGAN. SPARROW HEALTH SYSTEM'S REACH EXTENDS FAR BEYOND THE ACUTE CARE SETTING OF THE HOSPITAL. THERE ARE MANY WAYS OUR STAFF PROACTIVELY SUPPORTS THE COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO HAVE THE GREATEST NEED. BECAUSE OF SPARROW'S COMMITMENT, THE PEOPLE OF MID-MICHIGAN HAVE ACCESS TO THE FULL RANGE OF COMPREHENSIVE ACUTE CARE SERVICES AND THE LATEST MEDICAL ADVANCES WITHOUT TRAVELING GREAT DISTANCES. THESE SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE TO ALL MID-MICHIGAN RESIDENTS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. PROVIDING ACCESS TO PRIMARY CARE - ONE GOAL SPARROW HAS AGGRESSIVELY PURSUED IS GIVING EVERY PERSON IN MID-MICHIGAN READY ACCESS TO PRIMARY CARE, NO MATTER WHERE THEY LIVE. WITH INNOVATIVE AFFILIATIONS WITH SPARROW CLINTON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, SPARROW IONIA HOSPITAL, AND CARSON CITY HOSPITAL, WE CONTINUE TO MAKE POSITIVE STRIDES IN THIS AREA. SPARROW COMMUNITY CARE - A NON-PROFIT ENTITY COMPRISING THE FORMER SPARROW MEDICAL SUPPLY AND SPARROW HOME CARE UNITS WITH SPARROW LABORATORIES AND SPARROW PHARMACY PLUS ROUND OUT SPARROW HEALTH SYSTEM'S NETWORK OF FACILITIES AND PRIMARY CARE SERVICES. THEY ARE DESIGNED TO PROVIDE QUALITY, CONVENIENT, COST EFFECTIVE HEALTH CARE TO THE PEOPLE OF MID MICHIGAN. EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS - SPARROW HAS DISTINGUISHED ITSELF AS A RECOGNIZED LEADER IN EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS. THE HOSPITAL VIEWS PREPAREDNESS AS AN ONGOING PROCESS LED BY A MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM THAT INVOLVES ALL ASPECTS OF HOSPITAL OPERATIONS, INCLUDING MEDICAL AND NON-MEDICAL SERVICES. DRILLS ARE CONDUCTED YEAR-ROUND IN COLLABORATION WITH LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL AGENCIES TO ENSURE SPARROW IS PREPARED FOR ANY DISASTER, WHETHER IT IS THE RESULT OF A TERRORIST ACT OR A NATURAL DISASTER. SPARROW'S EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS COMMITTEE REGULARLY TESTS THE HOSPITAL'S RESPONSE SKILLS INDEPENDENT OF ANY AGENCY OR GOVERNING BODY. THE HOSPITAL ALSO WORKS WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, INCLUDING THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, FIRE DEPARTMENT, AND PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO COORDINATE A PLANNED RESPONSE IN THE EVENT OF A TRUE EMERGENCY. SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITY AND NEIGHBORHOODS - SPARROW IS THE UNQUESTIONED LEADER IN MID-MICHIGAN IN PROVIDING HEALTHCARE SERVICES AND PROMOTING HEALTH-RELATED ACTIVITIES. SPARROW PROVIDES FIRST-AID SERVICES AT MANY SPECIAL EVENTS INCLUDING MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL GAMES, LANSING LUGNUTS BASEBALL GAMES AND THE CITY OF LANSING'S ANNUAL COMMON GROUND MUSIC FESTIVAL. SPARROW ALSO SPONSORS DOZENS OF HEALTH-RELATED ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING THE ANNUAL LANSING WOMEN'S EXPO, HIKE FOR HOSPICE, THE FEELIN' GOOD MILEAGE CLUB FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND FITKIDS. SPARROW ALSO HAS A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NATION'S LARGEST AND MOST EXPERIENCED PROVIDER OF AIR AMBULANCE SERVICES, LIFENET OF MICHIGAN. LIFENET PROVIDES 24-HOUR AIR MEDICAL TRANSPORT SERVICE FOR IMPROVED ACCESS TO PATIENTS WHO NEED CRITICAL CARE. AS A TEACHING HOSPITAL, SPARROW HAS CONTINUED TO STRENGTHEN ITS AFFILIATION WITH MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY'S COLLEGES OF HUMAN MEDICINE, OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE AND NURSING. SPARROW WORKS WITH MSU TO FACILITATE THE RECRUITMENT, TRAINING AND RETENTION OF CURRENT AND FUTURE GENERATIONS OF PHYSICIANS AND NURSES. SPARROW IS THE CLINICAL CENTER FOR A MULTITUDE OF HEALTH EDUCATION PROGRAMS, INCLUDING GRADUATE MEDICAL RESIDENCY AND NURSING INTERNSHIPS. SPARROW ALSO SPONSORS DOZENS OF HEALTH SCREENING PROGRAMS, WHICH ARE FREE TO THE PUBLIC. FREE DIABETES TESTING, PROSTATE SCREENING, BREAST EXAMS AND BLOOD PRESSURE CHECKS ARE BUT A FEW OF THE MANY SUCH PROGRAMS SPARROW PROVIDES TO THE COMMUNITY. SPARROW ALSO PROVIDES MEETING FACILITIES FOR MANY HEALTH EDUCATION AND SUPPORT GROUPS. AS INDIVIDUAL VOLUNTEERS, AND AS AN ORGANIZATION, SPARROW HEALTH SYSTEM SUPPORTED MORE THAN 200 COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS WITH SPONSORSHIPS, IN-KIND SERVICES, AND/OR VOLUNTEER SERVICE. AS MID-MICHIGAN'S LEADING HEALTH CARE SYSTEM, SPARROW HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO DELIVER QUALITY, COMPASSIONATE CARE TO ALL PEOPLE. AS THE LEADING REGIONAL PROVIDER OF UNCOMPENSATED AND CHARITY CARE IN 2010, SPARROW PROVIDED APPROXIMATELY 52.6 MILLION IN CHARITY, BAD DEBT AND COMMUNITY BENEFITS AND ABSORBED THE COST OF MORE THAN 15.4 MILLION IN MEDICARE AND MEDICAID UNDER-FUNDING.
