Some of these services operate at a loss in order to ensure that comprehensive services are available to the community. Such community-focused programs improve access to healthcare, advocate for the poor and vulnerable, promote health through free education and screenings and help build better communities by improving quality of life. |
| Community Benefit Overview | St.Vincent Madison County Health System (SVMCHS) is part of St.Vincent Health, a non-profit healthcare system consisting of 20 locally-sponsored ministries serving over 47 counties throughout Central Indiana. Sponsored by Ascension Health, the nation's largest Catholic healthcare system, St.Vincent Health is one of the largest healthcare employers in the state. As part of St.Vincent Health, the St.Vincent Madison County Health System vision is to deliver a continuum of holistic, high-quality health services and improve the lives and health of Indiana individuals and communities, with special attention to the poor and vulnerable. This is accomplished through strong partnerships with businesses, community organizations, local, state and federal government, physicians, St.Vincent associates and others. Community benefit is not the work of a single department or group within St.Vincent Madison County Health System, but is part of the St.Vincent mission and cultural fabric. It is initiated and implemented at all levels of the organization, by each ministry, and in every community. | |
| Charity Care and Certain Other Community Benefits at Cost | Patient Services for Poor and Vulnerable Hospital and outpatient care is provided to patients that cannot pay for services, including hospitalizations, surgeries, prescription drugs, medical equipment and medical supplies. Patients with income less than 200% of the Federal Poverty level (FPL) are eligible for 100% charity care for services. Patients with incomes at or above 200% of the FPL, but not exceeding 400% of the FPL, receive discounted services based on an income-dependent sliding scale. Hospital financial counselors and health access workers assist patients in determining eligibility and in completing necessary documentation. SVMCHS is committed to 100% access, and is proactive in providing healthcare that leaves no one behind. Public Program Participation SVMCHS participates in government programs including Medicaid, SCHIP (Hoosier Healthwise), Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP) and Medicare and assists patients in enrolling for programs for which they are eligible. Per Catholic Health Association guidelines and St.Vincent Health's conservative approach, Medicare shortfall is not included as community benefit. Community Assessment In keeping with Saint John's Health System's mission to serve all persons with special attention to those who are poor and vulnerable, as well as advocating for a compassionate and just society, Saint John's Health System is committed to an integrated delivery network that is unique to Anderson and surrounding communities. The latest community needs assessment resulted in making access to health care, advocacy and assistance for the uninsured, child health services, and prenatal care for Hispanic and Latinos a continued commitment. St.Vincent Mercy Hospital has a long tradition of partnering with local businesses, city and county government and other health, human, and social service agencies to improve the health and quality of life of individuals and families within the community. As a result of the most recent community assessment, St.Vincent Mercy and its partners identified the following local priorities: access to healthcare, services for the uninsured and child health services. Rural and Urban Access to Health As part of its commitment to 100% access, Saint John's Health System and St.Vincent Mercy are two of eight St.Vincent Health ministries that participate in the Rural and Urban Access to Health program. Central to the program are health access workers whose roles are to connect each hospital to its community by helping individuals address barriers to accessing health care and by referring them to other local resources as needed. Each health access worker assists individuals with finding a medical home; applying for public programs such as Medicaid, food stamps and the Healthy Indiana Plan; and in assessing needs so that referrals can be made for other forms of community-based assistance. The health access worker also advocates for clients with service providers, and serves as a system navigator. During fiscal year 2011, the Saint John's health access worker served 1,256 individuals, and completed 1,117 referrals to public and private programs, and St.Vincent Mercy health access worker served 623 individuals, and completed 800 referrals to public and private programs. Medication Assistance In addition, the Rural and Urban Access to Health program assists patients who meet income guidelines in obtaining free or reduced cost prescription drugs. Saint John's Health System and St.Vincent Mercy provide a medication assistant who works with a sophisticated and continually-updated database to track eligibility and requirements that vary by company and by medication. In 2011, Saint John's medication assistant helped patients obtain a total of 1,396 medications for which the average wholesale price totaled $805,626, and the St.Vincent Mercy medication assistant helped patients obtain a total of 1,375 medications for which the average wholesale price totaled $778,322. Anderson University School of Nursing Continuing a tradition of collaboration, Saint John's Health System and St.Vincent Health have partnered with Anderson University School of Nursing, creating the Saint John's Center for Clinical Excellence. Saint John's Children's Clinic The Children's Clinic, open since 1973, serves children from birth to 18 years who do not have insurance, cannot pay for service, or have Medicaid coverage. The Children's Clinic provides immunizations, physicals, care of illnesses and injuries, prescription medications, and referrals for surgery, specialized diagnostic procedures and counseling. Because the Clinic assists children whose families cannot afford medical care, eligibility for services is determined using guidelines similar to those of federal poverty programs. During fiscal year 2011, there were 6,652 patient visits to Saint John's Children's Clinic. Birthing Center Infant mortality rates are higher for women living in poverty. The infant mortality rate for infants born at poverty level is 13.5 per 1,000 births compared to 8.3 per 1,000 births for infants born to mothers with family incomes above poverty level. As a response to these astounding statistics, Saint John's Birthing Center provides a number of classes to expectant parents and their families. The Birthing Center reaches out to any expectant mothers with limited family income. Courses included prenatal care, cesarean section births, Lamaze childbirth, and classes for grandparents and siblings. Personnel also assist expectant mothers to access the health care system, public assistance programs and other community resources. Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) Program Saint John's Health System offers a Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) program, in partnership with St.Vincent Indianapolis, which is open to pastors, seminary students and lay persons interested in working in health ministries. The chaplains serve as part of the faculty for the CPE program, offering seminars and serving as resources for CPE students. Choose to Lose Weight Loss Program Saint John's Health System, the Anderson YMCA, and Kroger/Pay Less Super Markets offered a program for individuals who wanted to lose weight and lead healthier lives. Choose to Lose is designed for individuals who want help in making changes toward healthier lives. Saint John's Community Education associates teach the eight-week program that educates participants about the nutritional, physical, and emotional aspects of weight management and healthy lifestyles. The cost of the class covered books and supplies, and scholarships were also made available. Free glucose and cholesterol screenings were conducted during the first week and the final week, so participants could see how their healthy eating choices positively affected their screenings. Local restaurants featured their health-conscious menu items during the education sessions, and the group toured the super market and watched cooking demonstrations. The YMCA provided a free one-week pass which included the cardio and weight rooms and swimming pool. Each person also had a free personal fitness trainer orientation session. During fiscal year 2011, approximately 100 individuals participated in the Choose to Loose program. Diabetes Care Center The Saint John's Outpatient Diabetes Care Center is committed to providing quality diabetes education and support to patients and their families. The program aims to provide important self-management skills and support needed to attain independence in diabetes management. The Diabetes Support Group meets on the second Thursday of each month. Health Check Health Fair Saint John's Health System and St.Vincent Mercy in conjunction with many community partners provide health information and screenings each year at a large community health fair held in Anderson and Elwood. The Health Check Health Fair offers a variety of health screenings, including blood pressure, blood glucose, cholesterol, and fitness health screenings. Each year many vendors offer vital resource information on the physical and mental health services available throughout the community. | |
| Health and Safety Fair St.Vincent Mercy Hospital participated in the 4th annual Health and Safety Fair (also known as the Block Party) sponsored by the Elwood Community Council, along with the Texas Migrant Council for the residents of Elwood and the migrant workers. St.Vincent Mercy Hospital associates provided general health education and a variety of free health screenings including blood pressure, blood sugar, and respiratory lung health. Associates of Robert M. Palmer's Institute of Biomechanics were onsite to provide pedorthic screenings. Alternatives Victim Advocates provided important information on domestic violence and sexual assault. The local police and fire departments gave tours of their departments and vehicles, and the police department introduced Titan, a police dog, whose handler demonstrated how K9 dogs are used on the police force. The fire department introduced Sparky the Fire Dog to the community. Last year, over 200 adults and children attended the event. Healthy Families of Madison County Healthy Families Indiana, part of the national Healthy Families of America program, is a voluntary home visitation program designed to promote healthy families and healthy children through a variety of services, including child development, access to health care, and parent education. Healthy Families Indiana works locally through hospital maternity wards, prenatal clinics, and other local agencies to identify families that could benefit from education and support services either before or immediately after birth. The mission of Healthy Families of Madison County is to promote supportive environments that optimize child growth and development, and encourage resilient healthy families. Saint John's Health System receives grant funding though the State of Indiana Department of Child Services to operate Healthy Families Madison County. Saint John's provided postage, utilities, mileage reimbursement, multi-line phones, and pagers as in-kind community benefit. Health Stations Saint John's Health Stations are located in nine local churches in the Anderson community. These health stations make a positive and profound impact through the promotion of personal health awareness, health screenings, displays, and instructional materials. Each station is staffed solely by volunteers and is outfitted with a range of materials and supplies. Just for Teens Saint John's Birthing Center offers a new prenatal class titled Just for Teens. The class sessions are free of charge and are offered every two months for expecting teen mothers. During the class, the teen girls receive educational information about the birthing process, nutritional guidelines, and expectations during pregnancy. Also, community resources are made available to assist them through their pregnancy. The mothers-to-be have the opportunity to speak to a dietitian and other guest speakers, including former teen moms who discuss their experiences with teen pregnancy, and encourage the teen girls to stay in school. A lunch is provided during the day. Kindergarten Round Up Kindergarten Round Up, a free service provided through a collaborative effort with agencies in the community, is a comprehensive program for disadvantaged children entering kindergarten. Children received free physicals and dental and hearing screenings through the collaboration of Saint John's and other community agencies. This event also connected the whole family to health and social services within the community. Many families established medical homes as a result of bringing their kindergarten aged child to this event. Marie's Hope Saint John's Health System provides free screening mammograms to uninsured women who meet income guidelines through the Marie's Hope Program. In addition to meeting financial guidelines, participating women must be age 35 or older, have no breast disease symptoms or current or previous breast cancer, and not have had a mammogram within the prior 12 months. Marie's Hope was established in 2001 to provide key women's health screenings to uninsured women who meet the necessary guidelines. Services include clinical breast exams, mammograms and PAP smears. The program honors former Saint John's Vice President Sister Marie Bush, CSC. Prostate Screenings St.Vincent Mercy Hospital offered free prostate screenings to men over 40 years old in Elwood and the surrounding communities during Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. Approximately 50 men were screened in the hospital's Medical Specialty Center. The screening included a risk assessment, blood test, and a physical examination by a urologist. Transportation from the Emergency Room The Saint John's transportation initiative provided free transportation to patients and family members who could not afford medical transportation at discharge from Saint John's. The method of transportation varied from ambulance to providing gas cards for personal transportation. Community Benefit Cash and In-Kind Contributions In addition to the outreach programs operated by the hospital, the hospital makes cash and in-kind donations to a variety of community organizations focused on improving health status in the community. These take the form of cash donations to outside organizations, the donation of employee time/services to outside organizations and the representation of the hospital on community boards and committees working to improve health status and quality of life within the community. | ||
| Community Building Activities | Research shows that social determinants and quality of life play a major role in the health status of individuals and communities. Community building activities, which focus on improving the quality of life within a community, ultimately influence and improve health status. Backpack and School Supply Roundup St.Vincent Mercy Hospital partnered with the Salvation Army, the Morrisett Center, and Dollar General Market to sponsor the Backpack/School Supply Roundup. Associates of St.Vincent Mercy Hospital donated school supplies, backpacks and monetary funds for local children enrolled in kindergarten through eighth grade. St.Vincent Mercy Hospital also collected supplies and donations from community members and organizations. Christmas Fundraisers Many departments at Saint John's Health System and St.Vincent Mercy participate in fundraisers each year to help assure a nice Christmas to less fortunate families or help a local agency support the poor in Madison County. The Food Services and Mission Services departments put together a food basket for each of the "adopted" families. Many associates delivered food baskets along with the gifts the local YMCA bought and wrapped for the families. The Elwood Community Council The Elwood Community Council provided a forum in which concerned Elwood stakeholders can meet to discuss problems faced by Elwood community along with possible solutions to these problems. Specifically, the Council worked to educate and empower individuals and families who were in need of assistance or services and worked to enhance collaboration among community service providers so that maximum benefit for the individual or families can be achieved. The Council includes a high school age committee that helps assist the Council with meeting the needs of pre-teens and teens in the community. The Council's ultimate goal is to have a positive impact on the Elwood community. Born Learning Trail St.Vincent Mercy Hospital sponsored the Born Learning Trail installed in Callaway Park in Elwood. The Born Learning Connection is a service of the United Way of Madison County, and its goal is to ensure all Madison County children enter school with the skills to become successful learners. The Born Learning Trail is an engaging path of interactive activities that parents, grandparents and caregivers can use to promote language and pre-literacy skills, motor skills and school readiness. A St.Vincent Mercy Hospital associate participated on the Born Learning Trail committee and assisted in decisions regarding a theme and location for the trail. St.Vincent Mercy Hospital donated $300 worth of books that were distributed to all the children who attended the dedication ceremony. St.Vincent Health STAR Intensive Program The St.Vincent Star program (Special Talents to Achieve and Rise) is a highly successful, life-transforming job and life skills development program that reaches out to individuals with significant barriers to employment. In response to requests from other St.Vincent ministries to clone the Indianapolis based program to serve individuals in their communities, the staff developed the STAR Intensive pilot program in 2009. Each participating St.Vincent ministry worked with community organizations and STAR staff to select candidates to participate in the eight-week program, with two weeks of in-class training in Indianapolis, and six weeks mentorship at their local St.Vincent ministry. STAR graduates are not guaranteed positions with St.Vincent ministries. During fiscal year 2011, twelve individuals from St.Vincent communities in Central Indiana enrolled in the STAR Intensive pilot program, including two individuals from Anderson. They mentored in the patient access registration and patient care tech departments. One of the graduates later secured a full-time position with an outside company. St.Vincent Mercy Hub for Mock Disaster Madison County Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency initiated a hospital evacuation exercise last year at St.Vincent Mercy. A fictitious tornado and thunderstorm, and evacuated patients from other area hospitals made up the simulation scenario of the mock disaster drill. The evacuation exercise tests area hospitals response plans. The hospital's patients were not impacted by this exercise. Almost 100 volunteers from neighboring communities, as well as, St.Vincent Mercy, emergency response teams, and other area hospitals participated in the training. |
