Health activities and programs to support the community are considered where there is a demonstrated need. These activities include behavioral health services, wellness programs, community education programs, special programs for the elderly, and a variety of broad community support activities.

Equipment included beds, wheelchairs, exam lights, walkers, x-ray aprons, medical carts, surgical instruments, stretchers, linens and various other items * The "Imagining the Future" listening campaign, a grassroots approach to discover what services the community believes an ideal healthcare system ought to provide, was conducted from October to December 2010. Deeply rooted in the hospital's Franciscan mission, it was a holistic and spiritual process of discernment which stimulated open, honest, and non-judgmental sharing of insights about healthcare delivery in the context of the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the broader community. o The initiative included more than 1,400 participants and began with two large town hall-like meetings hosted by the hospital CEO and 35 smaller visioning sessions led by hospital leaders. Community members also participated online and through social media (Facebook and Twitter). In all, we received 2,830 ideas regarding the future of healthcare. o Focus groups included constituents that are often overlooked: low-income, vulnerable populations and minority groups. It captured the voices of special populations, Hmong Mutual Assistance Association members, Amish farmers, seniors, young children and other diverse groups. The visioning sessions allowed us to gather mission-critical information, and gave community members the opportunity to articulate their vision of an ideal healthcare system for their community that improved health, healing and well-being. The goal was to engage and empower community members and hospital leaders so that together we could shape an ideal local healthcare system. o A committee was commissioned to divide the 2,830 comments into 600 categories. A Community Dream Team and a Colleague Dream Team were formed to assess each request to determine if it was something that could be responded to in the short term or long term range. More than 100 actionable items were assessed and/or implemented over the first six months. Sacred Heart Hospital has prepared the financial information in this report in accordance with CHAUSA community benefit reporting guidelines. These guidelines recommend the following: * Report community care at cost, not charges. * Do not include bad debt, contractual allowances, and quick pay discounts as part of charity care expense. * Do not count Medicare shortfall as a community benefit. * Report the net expense for community benefit services, i.e., the total community benefit expense minus any associated revenue from patients, payers, and other external sources. The Catholic Health Association's reporting guidelines reflect a conservative approach to reporting quantifiable community benefit. The goal of the reporting guidelines is to produce community benefit financial reports that reflect true costs and that describe community benefit activities that increase access to health care and improve community health. In summary Sacred Heart Hospital financially contributed to the community $21,804,989 for fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 as follows: Charity care - at cost, not including bad debt $5,586,617 Government sponsored health care - net expense 8,292,361 Unpaid cost of public indigent care programs (includes Medicaid and other public programs) Community Benefit Programs - net expense 7,926,011 ------------ Total quantifiable community benefit $21,804,989 ============ In addition to the amounts reported above, Sacred Heart Hospital committed significant resources to service the Medicare population. The cost (as determined using the cost to charge ratio) of providing services to primarily elderly beneficiaries of the Medicare program in excess of governmental and managed care contract payments was $21,591,362 for the year ended June 30, 2012.
