COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B (a) In addition to conducting its own research, Backus Hospital collaborates with local and regional health care organizations to determine the need for health-related programs and services. (b) In 2010, the Hospital commissioned a comprehensive community health needs assessment conducted by Holleran, a professional research firm. The assessment consisted of 1,109 BRFSS telephone surveys which were conducted throughout the Hospital's service region (both New London and Windham Counties). The assessment also included a detailed analysis of secondary data sources, as well as two comprehensive focus groups to gain qualitative data on identified priority health areas. The needs assessment was presented and distributed, and can be accessed at www.backushospital.org/healthsurvey. Subsequently the Hospital has developed a Community Needs Strategic Plan which identifies and outlines top priority health needs as determined by the needs assessment. Priority health areas include obesity and overweight, autism, smoking, alcohol and substance abuse, mental health, chronic lower respiratory diseases, and access to healthcare. This plan has guided Hospital's outreach efforts for the last two fiscal years. A second needs assessment was undertaken in the fourth quarter of FY 2012 to measure the Hospital's progress, and augment existing research. Based on the Holleran survey, the Hospital partnered with United Way of Southeastern Connecticut to create the New London County Food Policy Council, which is using the data to address obesity and other food-related issues, as well as Norwich Technical High School, to focus on adolescent health issues such as self-esteem, depression, and substance abuse. (c) The hospital identifies health problems in the community through indicators and measures of health risk, disease prevalence, disease management and outcomes using sources such as birth and mortality records, census data, Behavioral Risk Factor Survey data, Robert Wood Johnson County Health Rankings, and other datasets. Priority areas were ranked utilizing a methodology which determined the severity of the problem and the Hospital's ability to impact it. (d) The hospital partners with two regional Federally Qualified Health Centers ("FQHC") - United Community and Family Services, and Generations Healthcare. Managers from the hospital and FQHCs meet to determine unmet community needs to develop educational, outreach and preventative health programs to meet these needs. (e) The hospital conducts follow-up surveys with all participants in its free educational programs. The surveys assess participants' satisfaction with the program, and solicit information about other needs.

COMMUNITY INFORMATION SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 4 The William W. Backus Hospital is located in Norwich, 45 minutes southeast of Hartford. In the past decade, the region has undergone major economic changes, due to the operation of two Native American-owned casinos both among the largest casinos in the world. These gambling and entertainment venues bring bringing an average of 40,000 visitors into the region each day. The casinos are the largest employers, and are experiencing layoffs and cutbacks as the economy continues to decline. The hospitals primary service area has an estimated population of about 118,000. The secondary service area consists of larger communities, such as New London and Groton, and smaller lower-density rural communities. The total population of the secondary service area is about 123,000. The service areas contain municipalities in New London and Windham Counties. The fastest growing segment of the regions population is the elderly. For the last decennial census, the regions elderly population grew at 10 times the rate of growth for the total population. The regions lack of affordable housing began to emerge as a critical issue even before the economic downturn. Homelessness is a growing concern, as the number of mortgage foreclosures grow. Further, the 2012 Robert Wood Johnson County Health Rankings reported that in New London and Windham Counties between 12-15% of children are living in poverty, and 31-32% are living in single parent households.
