At Camp Bluebird, adult cancer patients have time to listen to one another, learn from one another, share their experiences, and care for one another. The retreat is a peaceful space where adults can adjust to a lifestyle of living with cancer. They have opportunities for education, reflection, and recreation activities like arts, crafts, games, yoga, dancing, and swimming.

Loaves and Fishes: Several times each year associates from Saint Thomas Hospital and the Saint Thomas Family Health Canters deliver bags of hygiene items to the Parish Center of the Holy Name Catholic Church in east Nashville where Loaves and Fishes operates.

| Additional Support from the Saint Thomas Hospital Foundation Seton Support Center Renewing Hope support for flood and tornado relief Project for Neighborhood Aftercare is a school-based aftercare providing expanded learning opportunities to students in need Catholic Charities North Nashville Outreach Program Safety Net Consortium Persons and families in need Direct Patient Care Saint Thomas Hospital, serves its patients and community with core values rooted in a faith based ministry with particular attention to those who are poor and vulnerable. Certain financial figures unique to non-profit healthcare organizations represent this commitment to delivering the highest quality of health care to those who are most poor and vulnerable, including those who are elderly and those who live below the federal poverty guidelines. Saint Thomas Hospital provides the highest quality of care to all persons, regardless of their ability to pay. STH cares for many persons who are elderly as well as those who are living with disabilities. Additionally, Saint Thomas Hospital cares for patients whose employers do not provide or cannot afford insurance, as well as those who are self employed or for some other reason, otherwise uninsured. In 2011, 65.74% of the value of services rendered were to patients who participate in government-sponsored insurance programs or were uninsured. - Medicaid (other than TennCare) - 0.51% - Medicare HMO - 12.01% - Medicare - 42.75% - Tenncare - 5.63% - Bridges to Care - 0.00% - Uninsured - 4.84% Much of their care is covered by Medicaid, Medicare and other means-tested programs. However, the payment that the hospital receives from these programs often does not cover the actual cost of those health care services. In some cases, hospitals incur losses caring for these patients -that is, the difference between the actual cost of services and how much these programs pay. Losses are also incurred when patients who are uninsured and underinsured, and qualify for a significant discount in the cost of their care under the health system's Financial Assistance Policy, do not have the means to pay the remaining cost of professional health care services. Altogether, these numbers demonstrate Saint Thomas Hospital's commitment to providing the highest quality care to all persons, particularly those who are poor and vulnerable, regardless of ability to pay. |
