| Program Service Accomplishments | Form 990, Part III, Q 4a | Memorial Health Care System Foundation Community Benefit Narrative For the Year ended 6/30/11 I. Mission Memorial Health Care System Foundation was founded in January 2001 to raise awareness and funds exclusively for Memorial Health Care System, a tax exempt health care system. The mission of Catholic Health Initiatives and Memorial Health Care System is to nurture the healing ministry of the Church, bringing it new life, energy and viability in the 21st century. Catholic Health Initiatives and Memorial are committed to fidelity to the Gospel, with emphasis on human dignity and social justice in the creation of healthier communities. The funds raised by the Foundation allow Memorial to extend its mission of medical excellence further into the community. The Foundation has a governing Board comprised of community representatives that represent the diverse populations within the Chattanooga area. II. Community Benefit In FY 2011, the Foundation raised funds through special events, annual giving, major gifts, planned giving, corporate/foundation grants and capital campaigns to fund capital equipment, provide medical services to underserved populations, support community outreach programs, scholarships to students pursuing health care careers, and an endowment fund. In FY 11, the Foundation raised four million for these purposes and disbursed 3.2 million to support Memorial Health Care System nonprofit health care services. Since its inception, the Foundation has raised 17.3 million and disbursed 13.7 million to support Memorial Health Care System's mission. Community services have always been a significant part of Memorial Health Care System. Each year, services and programs offered to the community are evaluated and expanded to promote both increased access to healthcare and healthier communities. To enhance the health status of Chattanoogans, Memorial focuses on the whole person including the person's spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being. Highlighted below are some of the programs or capital expenditures that have been made possible through funding from the Foundation. Westside Clinic An anonymous donor wanted to make a difference in the lives of our patients who seek their healthcare services from one of Memorial Health Care System's clinics. She gave $150,000 to the Foundation and allowed the clinic staff to determine how the funds could best be used to help their patients. Westside Health Center is located in the "Homeless-Chattanooga HPSA ID # 1479994782". Westside Clinic serves the College Hill Courts, a 500 unit intercity housing development and Boynton Towers, a 250 unit low income housing for seniors. The current percentage of residents 65+ is 21.9% compared to the national average of 12.7%. Median household income is $11,259 compared to the national average of $50,152 and Tennessee income of $42,144. Westside Clinic continues to see significant growth in the number of patients it sees. It has grown from 1,367 patient visits in 2008 to 4,060 patients in 2011. The clinic accepts patients regardless of their ability to pay. The donor's funds pay for a Nurse Practictioner who focuses on patients diagnosed with diabetes. Mary Ellen Locher Breast Center The Foundation assists the hospital in obtaining grants to fund breast services and education to underserved women. In 2011, the Chattanooga affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. awarded several grants to Memorial Hospital. One grant provides underserved women with access to mammograms. Memorial Hospital hosted 11 Breast Health Programs and participated in health fairs, to distribute educational material, provide presentations and individual education to diverse groups of women, including homeless women in shelters and public housing facilities. All women who participated in the Access to Mammograms' program received a clinical breast exam, mammogram and many attended educational sessions. In FY 11 of the 3876 women participating in the outreach breast cancer screening programs, 128 received abnormal mammogram results and 32 of these women were diagnosed with breast cancer. Avon Foundation Breast Care Fund has awarded a grant to Memorial Hospital to fund outreach efforts to women age 40 and over who are not involved in a breast health care plan. A part of this program includes 'Shopping for Breast Health' which provides health oriented products and educational materials to women. The grant also provides funding for a full time outreach coordinator and one part time assistant and incentives to encourage women to attend the educational/screening program. The outreach staff partner with other organizations, including churches, public housing, primary care providers, health departments and employers in the region to schedule and provide mobile mammogram services and breast health outreach programs, focusing on diverse groups and medically underserved women. A mobile mammography coach was purchased through funding from the Tennessee Women's Health Initiative and donations from SunTrust and Chattem Inc. This has enabled us to reach women in outlying communities since March of 2005. Since that time, over 15,483 mammograms have been given on the mobile mammography coach, many of which have been funded through the Komen grant and the TN Breast and Cervical Care Program. In 2009, upgrades to our mobile coach were also funded through Foundation donations. This program has been so successful, the Foundation raised $725,000 in FY 2011 to fund a second mobile coach since current the coach cannot meet serve all the demand for its services. The second coach also offers digital mammography and expands services to include clinical breast and pelvic exams. Breast Services also offers Cancer Risk Counseling to help people understand better how their family history of cancer might affect their individual risk of developing cancer. Accurate educational information and individual counseling is provided at no charge to the patient which was made possible through grants and donations from the Foundation. All women are provided breast screening services regardless of their ability to pay through Memorial Health Care System. The grants we discussed above only cover a portion of the costs incurred by the hospital to provide breast related services. The rest of the cost is covered through hospital funds as a community benefit. The Foundation's support of the hospital allows the hospital to provide more community benefit programs than they would otherwise be able to provide. Once diagnosed with cancer and in treatment we continue offering support to our uninsured and underserved ladies by providing post education and navigation through treatment, mastectomy products and accessories to look your best when experiencing the side effects of treatment with hair loss at no cost. Hand-made hats and heart shaped pillows are donated from community organizations and ladies groups. We accept gently used mastectomy products, clean them and offer them to ladies who otherwise don't have access. A 55 year old woman who had lost her hair during treatment, came in to look at the wigs with tears in her eyes and found a wig. She said she had a friend who would style it for her. |
| Program Service Accomplishments | Continued | Cancer Resource Center Memorial Hospital has developed a program to help cancer patients and their families cope, offering them the latest information about cancer care. Whether you have just been diagnosed or have a family member with cancer, the oncology professionals at the Cancer Resource Center can answer your questions or help you understand your options regardless of where you go for treatment. You can learn about financial resources, screening opportunities, the most current clinical trials, and support groups and seminars offered to patients, family, and friends. The Cancer Resource Center also offers professionally led support groups, children's program, CLIMB (Children Living In Moments of Bravery), and We Care Week-end, a family retreat for cancer survivors. None of the services are billed to the patient and few qualify for insurance reimbursement. In FY 2011 the cost of this program was $367,901. Donations to the Cancer Resource Center have helped offset these costs. Cancer Institute In FY 10, a complimentary weekly program for recently diagnosed cancer patients began. Living Well with Cancer is an introduction and tour of support and treatment services available to MHCS patients. Logistics, such as parking, appropriate entrance for services, food service, and location of the chapel and out patient pharmacy are addressed. Each participant determines their stress level and then meets a social worker to discuss stress. They also meet oncology nutritionists, nurse educators and the oncology chaplain. Patients participate in a stress management exercise, and are encouraged by long term MHCS auxiliary volunteers, who are cancer survivors. We Care Weekend, an annual retreat for recently diagnosed patients and families, is promoted and a save the date card is given to the patients. Patients and their support partners learn how Memorial's Cancer Institute offers complimentary, holistic health services to Live Well with Cancer. Hats from the Heart Program Memorial administers the Hats from the Heart program which provides hats to cancer patients who have lost their hair during their cancer treatment. Private donations of new hats and financial support fund this program which is available in several community cancer treatment facilities. Simulation Learning Center The Foundation funded a new Simulation Learning Center that is used to train new nurses and nursing assistants to expose them to realistic clinical challenges through the use of life-like mannequins, virtual reality, task trainers, etc. to allow the nurses to experience real time consequences for their decisions and actions. This simulated state of the art approach to training promotes clinical excellence, patient safety, and hones critical thinking skills. Using this approach will aid the hospital's goal of becoming recognized as a hospital with Magnet status in Nursing Excellence. Capital Projects Funding The Foundation was able to fund several capital projects in 2011 that would not have been possible without Foundation donations due to capital restrictions. Funding was provided for the Ooltewah Women's Center, Frozen Section Lab Room, and other capital equipment. None of these items would have been possible without the Foundation funding of $460 thousand. Contributions Memorial Health Care System Foundation helps support all the programs highlighted above from donations they receive. Memorial Hospital is more able to fund research and education, capital expansion, new equipment and renovation, indigent care, and operating cost for programs that would otherwise not be possible based on the support it receives from the Foundation. The value of this community support is returned to the community through lower costs in patient care programs and community services described throughout this document.Cancer Institute In FY 10, a complimentary weekly program for recently diagnosed cancer patients began.
