SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 7	(1) BANNER GOOD SAMARITAN MEDICAL CENTER Significant Health Needs Not Prioritized We recognize that we do not have the resources nor in some cases the expertise to pursue all of the significant health needs identified through the CHNA. Therefore, the steering committee, in concert with Banner Health leadership and the Maricopa County Department of Public Health, worked diligently to ensure the strategies and tactics we selected would be impactful, foundational for future efforts and in alignment with our strengths, mission, vision and strategic plan. The significant health needs that were not prioritized, at this time, are: Community Infrastructure: The CAC indicated that a key need to help support and promote better nutrition and physical inactivity within the community, particularly the lower income neighborhoods include improving the environment so people feel safe and want to be active within their neighborhoods and having ready and affordable access to nutritional foods. Banner Health, and Banner Good Sam, will continue to partner with the state and county, as well as other nonprofit organizations within the community to better understand the issues and opportunities for collaboration around improving the environment and access to nutritional foods. However, at this time, we do not feel we are in a position to deploy specific strategies around these broader socio-environmental issues, though we recognize their importance and impact on the overall health of the community. Women and Infant Services: While the data indicates positive trending in several areas related to women and infant services, as noted above, the Community Advisory Council (CAC) did raise a few concerns that they felt represented a health concern within the community, specifically Well-Child Exams and Immunizations. In conjunction with labor & delivery services, Banner Good Sam offers a comprehensive list of free and low cost childbirth and baby care classes for moms, teen moms, dads and even siblings. A breast-feeding support group is also available on campus. Additionally, there are other nonprofit organizations within the community that focus on prevention of teenage pregnancy and it is outside Banner Health's scope and expertise. The implementation of Patient Centered Medical Homes, as well as the other strategies focused on improving access to care should also help assist with increasing parent's participation in well-child exams and immunizations, for all ages. Banner Health is very progressive in requiring that their employees receive the annual flu vaccine to ensure the safety of our patients, as well as our employees and their families. (2) BANNER DESERT MEDICAL CENTER Significant Health Needs Not Prioritized We recognize that we do not have the resources nor in some cases the expertise to pursue all of the significant health needs identified through the CHNA. Therefore, the steering committee, in concert with Banner Health leadership and the Maricopa County Department of Public Health, worked diligently to ensure the strategies and tactics we selected would be impactful, foundational for future efforts and in alignment with our strengths, mission, vision and strategic plan. The significant health need that was not prioritized, at this time, is: Free and Low-Cost Dental Services: There are actually many great resources within the community that provide these services to the uninsured and underinsured populations. The Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH) has developed a very robust website, FindHelpPhx.org, that provides this resource information to the public. Banner Health will partner with MCDPH to help promote the Find Help Phoenix website to our patients and surrounding community. Women and Infant Services: While the data indicates positive trending in several areas related to women and infant services, as noted above, the CAC did raise a few concerns that they felt represented a health concern within the community, specifically pregnancy complications from obesity, well-child exams and immunizations. The implementation of Patient Centered Medical Homes, as well as the other strategies focused on improving access to care should also help assist with increasing parent's participation in well-child exams and immunizations, for all ages. Banner Health is very progressive in requiring that their employees receive the annual flu vaccine to ensure the safety of our patients, as well as our employees and their families. Obesity during pregnancy will also hopefully be impacted positively by the implementation of Patient Centered Medical Home, as well as the strategies focused on addressing obesity across the community. Additionally, the comprehensive lists of free and low cost childbirth education and parenting classes will continue to provide education and awareness around healthy behaviors during pregnancy.
(3) BANNER BOSWELL MEDICAL CENTER	Significant Health Needs Not Prioritized We recognize that we do not have the resources nor in some cases the expertise to pursue all of the significant health needs identified through the CHNA. Therefore, the steering committee, in concert with Banner Health leadership and the Maricopa County Department of Public Health, worked diligently to ensure the strategies and tactics we selected would be impactful, foundational for future efforts and in alignment with our strengths, mission, vision and strategic plan. The significant health needs that were not prioritized, at this time, are: Public Transportation: There are several organizations within the community and government that are looking into the limited public transportation issues in the West Valley. While we recognize this can be a barrier to accessing care and we will support efforts to improve the situation as best we can, it is not within our area of expertise and believe our resources would be better directed at the access issues that we can more directly influence. Free and Low-Cost Dental and Vision Services: There are actually many great resources within the community that provide these services to the uninsured and underinsured populations. The Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH) has developed a very robust website, FindHelpPhx.org, which provides this resource information to the public. Banner Health with partner with MCDPH to help promote the Find Help Phoenix website to our patients and surrounding community. Women and Infant Services: While the data indicates positive trending in several areas related to women and infant services, as noted above, the Community Advisory Council did raise a few issues that they felt represented a health concern within the community, specifically Teen Pregnancy, Well-Child Exams and Immunizations, Lack of Developmental Delay Providers and Obesity in Young Children. While Banner Boswell does not offer maternity or pediatric services, the facility partners closely with Banner Del E. Webb Medical Center and Banner Thunderbird Medical Center in providing these services. Both facilities offer comprehensive lists of free and low cost child birth education and parenting classes. Banner Del E. Webb also hosts regularly scheduled teen pregnancy classes conducted by Teen Outreach Pregnancy Services. Additionally, there are other nonprofit organizations within the community that focus on prevention of teenage pregnancy and it is outside Banner Health's scope and expertise. The strategies around increasing access to care are aimed at increasing preventive and maintenance care; therefore, they should also have a positive impact on well-child exams and immunizations. We will also continue to look for opportunities to help improve the health status around these issues through our community partnerships with agencies such as Maricopa County Department of Public Health. Early detection of developmental delays is not an area Banner Health views as a clinical strength for the organization and as such feel resources would be better dedicated to areas, such as Behavioral Health and Chronic Disease where Banner Health's infrastructure and clinical expertise can readily support strategies for addressing the concerns. Obesity in Young Children was specifically identified as a concern for the pediatric population. Our strategies around increasing access to education and resources around nutrition and physical activity are intended to help all ages within the community.
(4) BANNER THUNDERBIRD MEDICAL CENTER	Significant Health Needs Not Prioritized We recognize that we do not have the resources nor in some cases the expertise to pursue all of the significant health needs identified through the CHNA. Therefore, the Steering Committee, in concert with Banner Health leadership and the Maricopa County Department of Public Health, worked diligently to ensure the strategies and tactics we selected would be impactful, foundational for future efforts and in alignment with our strengths, mission, vision and strategic plan.

In conjunction with labor & delivery services, Banner Thunderbird offers a comprehensive list of free and low cost child birth and baby care classes for moms, teen moms, dads and even siblings. A breast-feeding support group is also available on campus. Banner Thunderbird also serves as a "Safe Haven" alternative for babies who might otherwise be abandoned if parents feel unequipped to care for them. The strategies around increasing access to care are aimed at increasing preventive and maintenance care; therefore, they should also have a positive impact on well-child exams and immunizations. We will also continue to look for opportunities to help improve the health status around these issues through our community partnerships with agencies such as Maricopa County Department of Public Health. While Patient Centered Medical Homes may also help with early detection of developmental delays, it is not an area Banner Health views as a clinical strength for the organization and as such feel resources would be better dedicated to areas, such as Behavioral Health and Chronic Disease where Banner Health's infrastructure and clinical expertise can readily support strategies for addressing the concerns. Obesity in Young Children was specifically identified as a concern for the pediatric population. Our strategies around increasing access to education and resources around nutrition and physical activity are intended to help all ages within the community.
(5) BANNER DEL E. WEBB MEDICAL CENTER	Significant Health Needs Not Prioritized We recognize that we do not have the resources nor in some cases the expertise to pursue all of the significant health needs identified through the CHNA.

The significant health needs that were not prioritized, at this time, are: Public Transportation: There are several organizations within the community and government that are looking into the limited public transportation issues in the West Valley. While we recognize this can be a barrier to accessing care and we will support efforts to improve the situation as best we can, it is not within our area of expertise and feel our resources would be better directed at the access issues that we can more directly influence. Free and Low-Cost Dental and Vision Services: There are actually many great resources within the community that provide these services to the uninsured and underinsured populations. MCDPH has developed a very robust website, FindHelpPhx.org, which provides this resource information to the public. Banner Health will partner with MCDPH to help promote the FindHelpPhx.org website to our patients and surrounding community. Women and Infant Services: While the data indicates positive trending in several areas related to women and infant services, as noted above, the CAC did raise a few concerns that they felt represented a health concern within the community, specifically Teen Pregnancy, Well-Child Exams and Immunizations, Lack of Developmental Delay Providers and Obesity in Young Children. In conjunction with its labor and delivery services, Banner Del E. Webb currently offers a comprehensive list of free and low cost child birth education and parenting classes. The hospital also hosts regularly scheduled teen pregnancy classes conducted by Teen Outreach Pregnancy Services. Additionally, there are other nonprofit organizations within the community that focus on prevention of teenage pregnancy and it is outside Banner Health's scope and expertise.

Medication Assistance and Availability: Platte County Memorial will continue to partner with the Salvation Army and other community resources to help align patients to medication assistance programs. The facility will also continue to offer 24-hour medication packs through the ED to ensure the community is able to access needed medications outside of pharmacy hours.

Form and Line Reference	Explanation
SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 1	A SINGLE SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B WAS COMPLETED FOR FACILITY REPORTING GROUP A. THE HOSPITAL FACILITIES INCLUDED IN FACILITY REPORTING GROUP A ARE LISTED IN SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION A. BANNER GOLDFIELD MEDICAL CENTER IS LISTED SEPARATELY BECAUSE IT WAS ACQUIRED BY BANNER HEALTH IN 2013 AND WAS NOT REQUIRED TO CONDUCT A CHNA FOR 2013. BANNER GOLDFIELD DID NOT CONDUCT A CHNA FOR 2013, BUT WILL CONDUCT A CHNA BEFORE THE DEADLINE, WHICH IS THE YEAR ENDING 12/31/2015. THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION FOR SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 1J APPLIES TO ALL HOSPITAL FACILITIES INCLUDED IN FACILITY REPORTING GROUP A: The CHNA report includes Implementation strategies, tactics and anticipated outcomes, as well as the needs not being addressed. THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION FOR SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 3 APPLIES TO ALL HOSPITAL FACILITIES INCLUDED IN FACILITY REPORTING GROUP A:
THE FACILITY LEADERSHIP TEAMS, IN COLLABORATION WITH MEMBERS OF BANNER	HEALTH'S COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) STEERING COMMITTEE, CREATED A COMMUNITY ADVISORY COUNCIL (CAC) OF COMMUNITY LEADERS THAT REPRESENTED THE UNDERSERVED, UNINSURED AND MINORITY POPULATIONS. CAC PARTICIPANTS WERE IDENTIFIED BASED ON THEIR ROLE IN THE PUBLIC HEALTH REALM OF THE HOSPITAL'S SURROUNDING COMMUNITY. EMPHASIS WAS PLACED ON IDENTIFYING POPULATIONS WITHIN THE SERVICE AREA THAT ARE CONSIDERED MINORITY AND/OR UNDERSERVED.
INDIVIDUALS THAT REPRESENTED THESE POPULATIONS, INCLUDING THE	UNINSURED, UNDERSERVED AND MINORITY POPULATIONS, WERE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN A FOCUS GROUP TO REVIEW AND VALIDATE THE QUANTITATIVE DATA, PROVIDE ADDITIONAL HEALTH CONCERNS AND FEEDBACK AS TO THE UNDERLYING ISSUES AND POTENTIAL STRATEGIES FOR ADDRESSING SAID CONCERNS. ADDITIONAL DIALOGUE OPPORTUNITIES (EMAIL, TELEPHONE CONVERSATIONS AND IN-PERSON MEETINGS WERE PROVIDED FOR THOSE PERSONS WHO DESIRED TO PARTICIPATE BUT WERE UNABLE TO PERSONALLY ATTEND A FOCUS GROUP SESSION. THOSE DISCUSSIONS INCLUDED FURTHER REVIEW OF THE DATA, EXISTING RESOURCES AND STRATEGIES FOR ADDRESSING THE SIGNIFICANT HEALTH CONCERNS. GIVEN THE OVERLAP IN PRIMARY SERVICE AREAS IN SOME BANNER SERVICE AREAS, FOCUS GROUPS WERE COMBINED. THE FOCUS GROUP PROVIDED INPUT AND INSIGHTS AND EACH CAC PARTICIPANT WAS VESTED IN THE OVERALL HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY AND BROUGHT FORTH UNIQUE PERSPECTIVES WITH REGARDS TO THE POPULATION'S HEALTH NEEDS. THE CAC PROVIDED BANNER HEALTH WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO GATHER VALUABLE INPUT DIRECTLY FROM THE COMMUNITY.
THERE WAS ADDITIONAL DIALOGUE (VIA EMAIL, TELEPHONE CONVERSATIONS AND	IN-PERSON MEETINGS WITH LEADERS FROM THE RESPECTIVE COUNTY AND STATE PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENTS (MARICOPA COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH, NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES , PLATTE COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT ETC.)

SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 7	(1) BANNER GOOD SAMARITAN MEDICAL CENTER Significant Health Needs Not Prioritized We recognize that we do not have the resources nor in some cases the expertise to pursue all of the significant health needs identified through the CHNA. Therefore, the steering committee, in concert with Banner Health leadership and the Maricopa County Department of Public Health, worked diligently to ensure the strategies and tactics we selected would be impactful, foundational for future efforts and in alignment with our strengths, mission, vision and strategic plan. The significant health needs that were not prioritized, at this time, are: Community Infrastructure: The CAC indicated that a key need to help support and promote better nutrition and physical inactivity within the community, particularly the lower income neighborhoods include improving the environment so people feel safe and want to be active within their neighborhoods and having ready and affordable access to nutritional foods. Banner Health, and Banner Good Sam, will continue to partner with the state and county, as well as other nonprofit organizations within the community to better understand the issues and opportunities for collaboration around improving the environment and access to nutritional foods. However, at this time, we do not feel we are in a position to deploy specific strategies around these broader socio-environmental issues, though we recognize their importance and impact on the overall health of the community. Women and Infant Services: While the data indicates positive trending in several areas related to women and infant services, as noted above, the Community Advisory Council (CAC) did raise a few concerns that they felt represented a health concern within the community, specifically Well-Child Exams and Immunizations. In conjunction with labor & delivery services, Banner Good Sam offers a comprehensive list of free and low cost childbirth and baby care classes for moms, teen moms, dads and even siblings. A breast-feeding support group is also available on campus. Additionally, there are other nonprofit organizations within the community that focus on prevention of teenage pregnancy and it is outside Banner Health's scope and expertise. The implementation of Patient Centered Medical Homes, as well as the other strategies focused on improving access to care should also help assist with increasing parent's participation in well-child exams and immunizations, for all ages. Banner Health is very progressive in requiring that their employees receive the annual flu vaccine to ensure the safety of our patients, as well as our employees and their families. (2) BANNER DESERT MEDICAL CENTER Significant Health Needs Not Prioritized We recognize that we do not have the resources nor in some cases the expertise to pursue all of the significant health needs identified through the CHNA. Therefore, the steering committee, in concert with Banner Health leadership and the Maricopa County Department of Public Health, worked diligently to ensure the strategies and tactics we selected would be impactful, foundational for future efforts and in alignment with our strengths, mission, vision and strategic plan. The significant health need that was not prioritized, at this time, is: Free and Low-Cost Dental Services: There are actually many great resources within the community that provide these services to the uninsured and underinsured populations. The Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH) has developed a very robust website, FindHelpPhx.org, that provides this resource information to the public. Banner Health will partner with MCDPH to help promote the Find Help Phoenix website to our patients and surrounding community. Women and Infant Services: While the data indicates positive trending in several areas related to women and infant services, as noted above, the CAC did raise a few concerns that they felt represented a health concern within the community, specifically pregnancy complications from obesity, well-child exams and immunizations. The implementation of Patient Centered Medical Homes, as well as the other strategies focused on improving access to care should also help assist with increasing parent's participation in well-child exams and immunizations, for all ages. Banner Health is very progressive in requiring that their employees receive the annual flu vaccine to ensure the safety of our patients, as well as our employees and their families. Obesity during pregnancy will also hopefully be impacted positively by the implementation of Patient Centered Medical Home, as well as the strategies focused on addressing obesity across the community. Additionally, the comprehensive lists of free and low cost childbirth education and parenting classes will continue to provide education and awareness around healthy behaviors during pregnancy.
(3) BANNER BOSWELL MEDICAL CENTER	Significant Health Needs Not Prioritized We recognize that we do not have the resources nor in some cases the expertise to pursue all of the significant health needs identified through the CHNA. Therefore, the steering committee, in concert with Banner Health leadership and the Maricopa County Department of Public Health, worked diligently to ensure the strategies and tactics we selected would be impactful, foundational for future efforts and in alignment with our strengths, mission, vision and strategic plan. The significant health needs that were not prioritized, at this time, are: Public Transportation: There are several organizations within the community and government that are looking into the limited public transportation issues in the West Valley. While we recognize this can be a barrier to accessing care and we will support efforts to improve the situation as best we can, it is not within our area of expertise and believe our resources would be better directed at the access issues that we can more directly influence. Free and Low-Cost Dental and Vision Services: There are actually many great resources within the community that provide these services to the uninsured and underinsured populations. The Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH) has developed a very robust website, FindHelpPhx.org, which provides this resource information to the public. Banner Health with partner with MCDPH to help promote the Find Help Phoenix website to our patients and surrounding community. Women and Infant Services: While the data indicates positive trending in several areas related to women and infant services, as noted above, the Community Advisory Council did raise a few issues that they felt represented a health concern within the community, specifically Teen Pregnancy, Well-Child Exams and Immunizations, Lack of Developmental Delay Providers and Obesity in Young Children. While Banner Boswell does not offer maternity or pediatric services, the facility partners closely with Banner Del E. Webb Medical Center and Banner Thunderbird Medical Center in providing these services. Both facilities offer comprehensive lists of free and low cost child birth education and parenting classes. Banner Del E. Webb also hosts regularly scheduled teen pregnancy classes conducted by Teen Outreach Pregnancy Services. Additionally, there are other nonprofit organizations within the community that focus on prevention of teenage pregnancy and it is outside Banner Health's scope and expertise. The strategies around increasing access to care are aimed at increasing preventive and maintenance care; therefore, they should also have a positive impact on well-child exams and immunizations. We will also continue to look for opportunities to help improve the health status around these issues through our community partnerships with agencies such as Maricopa County Department of Public Health. Early detection of developmental delays is not an area Banner Health views as a clinical strength for the organization and as such feel resources would be better dedicated to areas, such as Behavioral Health and Chronic Disease where Banner Health's infrastructure and clinical expertise can readily support strategies for addressing the concerns. Obesity in Young Children was specifically identified as a concern for the pediatric population. Our strategies around increasing access to education and resources around nutrition and physical activity are intended to help all ages within the community.
(4) BANNER THUNDERBIRD MEDICAL CENTER	Significant Health Needs Not Prioritized We recognize that we do not have the resources nor in some cases the expertise to pursue all of the significant health needs identified through the CHNA.

In conjunction with labor & delivery services, Banner Thunderbird offers a comprehensive list of free and low cost child birth and baby care classes for moms, teen moms, dads and even siblings. A breast-feeding support group is also available on campus. Banner Thunderbird also serves as a "Safe Haven" alternative for babies who might otherwise be abandoned if parents feel unequipped to care for them. The strategies around increasing access to care are aimed at increasing preventive and maintenance care; therefore, they should also have a positive impact on well-child exams and immunizations. We will also continue to look for opportunities to help improve the health status around these issues through our community partnerships with agencies such as Maricopa County Department of Public Health. While Patient Centered Medical Homes may also help with early detection of developmental delays, it is not an area Banner Health views as a clinical strength for the organization and as such feel resources would be better dedicated to areas, such as Behavioral Health and Chronic Disease where Banner Health's infrastructure and clinical expertise can readily support strategies for addressing the concerns.

Women and Infant Services: The data indicates that there are opportunities for improvement within the community related to certain aspects of Women and Infant Services. While we recognize this is a health concern within the community and will continue to look for opportunities to help improve the health status for this population, it was not prioritized as one of the greatest areas of need within the community.

Therefore, the steering committee, in concert with Banner Health leadership worked diligently to ensure the strategies and tactics we selected would be impactful, foundational for future efforts and in alignment with our strengths, mission, vision and strategic plan. The significant health needs that were not prioritized, at this time, are: Women and Infant Services: The data indicates there are opportunities for improvement within the community related to certain aspects of Women and Infant Services, particularly related to low birth weight and teen pregnancy. While we recognize this is a health concern within the community and will continue to look for opportunities to help improve the health status for this population, it was not prioritized as one of the greatest areas of need within the community. As we simply do not have the resources to develop a strategy for all of the areas of significant health needs, we feel resources would be better aligned to influence the other significant health concerns identified above. While not focused on prevention, Platte County Memorial will also continue to offer childbirth education classes. Home Care and Nursing Homes Services: There are other organizations in the community who currently offer and specialize in these services. Therefore, Platte County Memorial will continue to partner with these organizations to ensure smooth transitions, but will not look to implement new strategies at this time. Medication Assistance and Availability: Platte County Memorial will continue to partner with the Salvation Army and other community resources to help align patients to medication assistance programs. The facility will also continue to offer 24-hour medication packs through the ED to ensure the community is able to access needed medications outside of pharmacy hours. Additionally, Banner Health will continue to explore opportunities to improve medication access for their patients; however, we do not have the resources to implement a defined strategy at this time.
(11) FAIRBANKS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL	Significant Health Needs Not Prioritized We recognize that we do not have the resources nor in some cases the expertise to pursue all of the significant health needs identified through the CHNA.

As we simply do not have the resources to develop a strategy for all of the areas of significant health needs, we feel resources would be better aligned to influence the other significant health concerns identified above. Fairbanks will continue to offer new parent classes, including an expectant parent tour, childbirth education class, sibling tour and new parents clinic, as well as "Non-Emergency Support about Newborns."
(12) MCKEE MEDICAL CENTER	Significant Health Needs Not Prioritized We recognize that we do not have the resources nor in some cases the expertise to pursue all of the significant health needs identified through the CHNA.

The significant health needs that were not prioritized, at this time, are: Women and Infant Services: The data indicates there are opportunities for improvement within the community related to certain aspects of Women and Infant Services, particularly related to preterm births and teen pregnancy. While we recognize this is a health concern within the community and will continue to look for opportunities to help improve the health status for this population, it was not identified by the CAC as one of the greatest areas of need within the community. As we simply do not have the resources to develop a strategy for all of the areas of significant health needs, we feel resources would be better aligned to influence the other significant health concerns identified above. Banner Churchill will also continue to offer childbirth education classes. As for the concern the CAC raised around pregnant women and new moms needing behavioral health services to better support them, it is our hope that through the implementation of a depression screening tool within the Banner Medical Group clinics and increased educational offerings and resource identification through the Mental Health and Substance Abuse website, that we will also be able to positively impact this issue.

Therefore, the steering committee, in concert with Banner Health leadership worked diligently to ensure the strategies and tactics we selected would be impactful, foundational for future efforts and in alignment with our strengths, mission, vision and strategic plan. The significant health needs that were not prioritized, at this time, are: Dental Care: Sterling Regional recognizes this is an area of opportunity within the community and that when dental care is not received on a routine basis, it can lead to other health issues. However, we feel this is outside the scope of Banner Health's expertise and that given limited resources, we are not currently able to address this need. Parenting Skills: While identified as a significant concern within the community and one that has implications to the overall health of the community, there are other agencies and organizations within the community who are currently focused on providing the needed education and support around this issue. We believe this is indeed an issue that is better aligned to our community partners; however, we will continue to look for opportunities to increase awareness of these valuable programs and resources. Provider Access: While not specifically called out as a strategy under Access to Care, Banner Health is constantly evaluating the provider needs within the communities it serves and strives to meet those needs as best as possible. Additionally, the conversation with the CAC reflected the need for focused efforts on increasing awareness of the available services within the community, which has been integrated into the strategies across the priority health concerns, as there are some great resources that currently exist within the community.

Banner Health will partner with MCDPH to help promote the FindHelpPhx.org website to our patients and surrounding community to hopefully increase the awareness of these services. Public Transportation: There are also several organizations within the community and government that are looking into the limited public transportation issues in the West Valley. While we recognize this can be a barrier to accessing care and we will support efforts to improve the situation as best we can, it is not within our area of expertise and we believe our resources would be better directed at the access issues that we can more directly influence.
(16) PAGE HOSPITAL - CRITICAL ACCESS	Significant Health Needs Not Prioritized We recognize that we do not have the resources nor in some cases the expertise to pursue all of the significant health needs identified through the CHNA.

Additionally, the conversation with the CAC reflected the need for focused efforts on increasing awareness of the available services within the community, which has been integrated into the strategies across the priority health concerns, as there are some great resources that currently exist within the community. Women and Infant Services: The data indicates there are still opportunities for improvement within the community related to certain aspects of Women and Infant Services, though Nebraska compares fairly well to the other states. While we recognize this is still a health concern within the community and will continue to look for opportunities to help improve the health status for this population, it was not identified by the CAC as one of the greatest areas of need within the community. As we simply do not have the resources to develop a strategy for all of the areas of significant health needs, we feel resources would be better aligned to influence the other significant health concerns identified above. Ogallala Community Hospital will also continue to offer childbirth education classes.
(18) WASHAKIE MEDICAL CENTER - CRITICAL ACCESS	Significant Health Needs Not Prioritized We recognize that we do not have the resources nor in some cases the expertise to pursue all of the significant health needs identified through the CHNA. Therefore, the steering committee, in concert with Banner Health leadership worked diligently to ensure the strategies and tactics we selected would be impactful, foundational for future efforts and in alignment with our strengths, mission, vision and strategic plan. The significant health needs that were not prioritized, at this time, are: Dental Care: Washakie Medical Center recognizes this is an area of opportunity within the community and that when dental care is not received on a routine basis, it can lead to other health issues. However, we feel this is outside the scope of Banner Health's expertise and that given limited resources, we are not currently able to address this need. Given that the council indicated they felt this was more of an issue around lack of awareness of importance and resources, we will continue to help support promotion of the importance of regular dental care. Women and Infant Services: The data indicates there are opportunities for improvement within the community related to certain aspects of Women and Infant Services, particularly related to infant mortality, early prenatal care and teen pregnancy. While we recognize this is a health concern within the community and will continue to look for opportunities to help improve the health status for this population, it was not prioritized as one of the greatest areas of need within the community. As we simply do not have the resources to develop a strategy for all of the areas of significant health needs, we feel resources would be better aligned to influence the other significant health concerns identified above. While not focused on prevention, Washakie Medical Center will also continue to offer prenatal education, childbirth education and pre-natal/post-natal exercise classes.
(19) BANNER IRONWOOD MEDICAL CENTER	Significant Health Needs Not Prioritized We recognize that we do not have the resources nor in some cases the expertise to pursue all of the significant health needs identified through the CHNA. Therefore, the steering committee, in concert with Banner Health leadership worked diligently to ensure the strategies and tactics we selected would be impactful, foundational for future efforts and in alignment with our strengths, mission, vision and strategic plan. The significant health needs that were not prioritized, at this time, are: Women and Infant Services: While the data indicates positive trending in several areas related to women and infant services, as noted above, the Community Advisory Council (CAC) did raise a few concerns that they felt represented a health concern within the community, specifically teen pregnancy. In conjunction with labor & delivery services, Banner Ironwood offers a comprehensive list of free and low cost childbirth and baby care classes for teen moms, as well as moms of all ages, dads and even siblings. While we recognize this is a significant health concern within the community, we simply do not have the resources to develop a strategy around pregnancy prevention, at this time and feel we are better aligned to influence the other significant health concerns identified above.
(20) BANNER LASSEN MEDICAL CENTER - CRITICAL ACCESS	Significant Health Needs Not Prioritized We recognize that we do not have the resources nor in some cases the expertise to pursue all of the significant health needs identified through the CHNA. Therefore, the steering committee, in concert with Banner Health leadership worked diligently to ensure the strategies and tactics we selected would be impactful, foundational for future efforts and in alignment with our strengths, mission, vision and strategic plan. The significant health needs that were not prioritized, at this time, are: Women and Infant Services: The data indicates there are still opportunities for improvement within the community related to certain aspects of Women and Infant Services, though California compares well to the other states and has shown marked improvement in areas such as teen pregnancy. While we recognize this is still a health concern within the community and will continue to look for opportunities to help improve the health status for this population, it was not identified by the CAC as one of the greatest areas of need within the community. As we simply do not have the resources to develop a strategy for all of the areas of significant health needs, we feel resources would be better aligned to influence the other significant health concerns identified above. Banner Lassen will continue to offer childbirth education classes. The CAC did identify a concern that for women who are unaware they are pregnant, 75 percent reported having consumed alcohol after conception. It is our hope that through increased educational offerings via the Mental Health and Substance Abuse website that we will also be able to positively impact this issue. Provider Shortage: While not specifically called out as a strategy under Access to Care, Banner Health is constantly evaluating the provider needs within the communities it serves and strives to meet those needs as best as possible. Additionally, much of the conversation with the CAC reflected the need for focused efforts on increasing awareness of the available services within the community, which has been integrated into the strategies across the priority health concerns, as there are some great resources that currently exist within the community.
(21) EAST MORGAN COUNTY HOSPITAL - CRITICAL ACCESS	Significant Health Needs Not Prioritized We recognize that we do not have the resources nor in some cases the expertise to pursue all of the significant health needs identified through the CHNA. Therefore, the steering committee, in concert with Banner Health leadership worked diligently to ensure the strategies and tactics we selected would be impactful, foundational for future efforts and in alignment with our strengths, mission, vision and strategic plan. The significant health needs that were not prioritized, at this time, are: Provider Access: While not specifically called out as a strategy under Access to Care, Banner Health is constantly evaluating the provider needs within the communities it serves and strives to meet those needs as best as possible. Additionally, the conversation with the CAC reflected the need for focused efforts on increasing awareness of the available services within the community, which has been integrated into the strategies across the priority health concerns, as there are some great resources that currently exist within the community. Women and Infant Services: The data indicates there are opportunities for improvement within the community related to certain aspects of Women and Infant Services, particularly related to teen pregnancy. While we recognize this is a health concern within the community and will continue to look for opportunities to help improve the health status for this population, it was not prioritized as one of the greatest areas of need within the community. Additionally, we recognize that there are other organizations in the community that are focusing on this issue. As we simply do not have the resources to develop a strategy for all of the areas of significant health needs, we feel resources would be better aligned to influence the other significant health concerns identified above. While not focused on prevention, East Morgan will continue to offer childbirth education classes.
(22) COMMUNITY HOSPITAL - TORRINGTON - CRITICAL ACCESS	Significant Health Needs Not Prioritized We recognize that we do not have the resources nor in some cases the expertise to pursue all of the significant health needs identified through the CHNA. Therefore, the steering committee, in concert with Banner Health leadership worked diligently to ensure the strategies and tactics we selected would be impactful, foundational for future efforts and in alignment with our strengths, mission, vision and strategic plan. The significant health needs that were not prioritized, at this time, are: Free/Low-Cost Dental Services: Community Hospital recognizes this is a need within the community and that when dental care is not received on a routine basis, it can lead to other health issues. However, we feel this is outside the scope of Banner Health's expertise and that given limited resources, we are not currently able to address this need. Parenting Skills: While identified as a significant concern within the community and one that has implications to the overall health of the community, there are other agencies and organizations within the community who are currently focused on providing the needed education and support around this issue. We believe this is indeed an issue that is better aligned to our community partners, such as St. Joseph's and Department of Family Services. However, we will continue to look for opportunities to increase awareness of these valuable programs and resources. Women and Infant Services: The data indicates there are opportunities for improvement within the community related to certain aspects of Women and Infant Services, particularly related to low birth weight and teen pregnancy. While we recognize these are important measures of the health of the community and will continue to look for opportunities to help improve the health status for these populations, this was not prioritized as one of the greatest areas of need within the community. As we simply do not have the resources to develop a strategy for all of the areas of significant health needs and other community partners are focused on the health status for these populations, we feel resources would be better aligned to influence other significant health concerns identified above. While not focused on prevention, Community Hospital will continue to offer childbirth education classes.
(23) BANNER HEART HOSPITAL	Significant Health Needs Not Prioritized We recognize that we do not have the resources nor in some cases the expertise to pursue all of the significant health needs identified through the CHNA. Therefore, the steering committee, in concert with Banner Health leadership worked diligently to ensure the strategies and tactics we selected would be impactful, foundational for future efforts and in alignment with our strengths, mission, vision and strategic plan. The significant health needs that were not prioritized, at this time, are: Free and Low-Cost Dental Services: There are actually many resources within the community that provide these services to the uninsured and underinsured populations. The Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH) has developed a very robust website, FindHelpPhx.org that provides this resource information to the public. Banner Health will partner with MCDPH to help promote the Find Help Phoenix website to our patients and surrounding community. Women and Infant Services: While the data indicates positive trending in several areas related to women and infant services, as noted above, the Community Advisory Council did raise a few concerns that they felt represented a health concern within the community, specifically Well-Child Exams and Immunizations. The implementation of Patient Centered Medical Homes, as well as the other strategies focused on improving access to care should also help assist with increasing parent's participation in well-child exams and immunizations, for all ages. Banner is very progressive in requiring that employees receive the annual flu vaccine to ensure the safety of our patients, as well as our employees and their families.

FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 11B BANNER HEALTH'S SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT & CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR OVERSEEING THE PROCESSES FOR PREPARING THE FORM 990. THE BANNER HEALTH FINANCE DEPARTMENT TAKES THE LEAD ROLE IN THE PROCESS AND IS CHARGED WITH THE DUTY TO COLLECT THE FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE FORM 990. THIS INCLUDES COORDINATING WITH OTHER BANNER HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, SUCH AS THE LEGAL, PAYROLL, GOVERNMENT RELATIONS, LICENSING, COMMUNITY BENEFIT, COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS, ACCOUNTS PAYABLE, RISK MANAGEMENT, CERTIFICATION, CREDENTIALING, FINANCIAL SERVICES AND TREASURY DEPARTMENTS IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT THE EXPERTISE OF EACH DEPARTMENT IS UTILIZED IN THE INFORMATION-GATHERING PROCESS. ONCE THE INFORMATION IS GATHERED, IT IS ORGANIZED AND ASSEMBLED INTO AN ORGANIZER THAT WILL BE USED BY AN OUTSIDE ACCOUNTING FIRM TO PREPARE THE FORM 990. BANNER HEALTH HAS AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PREPARED ANNUALLY BY AN INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM AND USES THIS SAME FIRM TO PREPARE ITS FORM 990 BECAUSE OF ITS EXPERTISE IN NON-PROFIT HOSPITAL SYSTEMS AND ITS SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE OF BANNER HEALTH'S OPERATIONS AND RETURN COMPLEXITY. THE BANNER HEALTH FINANCE DEPARTMENT ALSO EMPLOYS AN INTERNAL STAFF OF TAX SPECIALISTS. THESE TAX SPECIALISTS ACT AS LIAISONS BETWEEN THE ACCOUNTING FIRM AND BANNER HEALTH'S SENIOR MANAGEMENT DURING THIS STAGE OF THE PROCESS. DURING THIS STAGE, THE TAX PREPARER REVIEWS THE INFORMATION AND WORKS WITH BANNER HEALTH'S INTERNAL TAX STAFF TO ANSWER QUESTIONS, GATHER ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND ADDRESS ISSUES THAT MAY ARISE. ONCE THE INFORMATION-GATHERING PROCESS IS COMPLETE, A FIRST DRAFT OF THE FORM 990 IS PREPARED AND READIED FOR REVIEW. THE REVIEW PROCESS BEGINS WITH AN INITIAL REVIEW DONE BY A COMMITTEE CONSISTING OF BANNER HEALTH'S CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, GENERAL COUNSEL, AND OTHER MANAGEMENT MEMBERS FROM THE FINANCE AND FINANCIAL SERVICES DEPARTMENTS AND REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE OUTSIDE TAX PREPARER'S FIRM. A LINE-BY-LINE REVIEW OF THE FORM 990 IS DONE BY THIS COMMITTEE. DURING THIS REVIEW, A LIST OF QUESTIONS, ISSUES AND ADDITIONAL TASKS IS COMPILED. THIS LIST IS THEN DISSEMINATED TO THE APPROPRIATE BANNER HEALTH DEPARTMENTS FOR FURTHER ACTION. ONCE ALL QUESTIONS, ISSUES AND TASKS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED, A SECOND REVIEW BY THE COMMITTEE IS DONE. AGAIN, IF APPLICABLE, A LIST OF QUESTIONS, ISSUES AND ADDITIONAL TASKS IS COMPILED. THIS LIST IS THEN DISSEMINATED TO THE APPROPRIATE BANNER HEALTH DEPARTMENTS FOR FURTHER ACTION. ONCE THIS SECOND REVIEW PROCESS IS COMPLETED, A FINAL DRAFT OF THE FORM 990 IS PRESENTED TO THE SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT & GENERAL COUNSEL AND SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT & CFO FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL PRIOR TO SENDING THE FORM 990 TO THE BOARD MEMBERS. CHANGES TO THE FORM 990 ARE MADE IF NECESSARY AND APPROVAL IS GRANTED TO SEND THE FORM 990 TO THE BOARD MEMBERS. EACH MEMBER OF THE BOARD IS THEN SENT THE DRAFT FORM 990 ALONG WITH AN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF KEY ITEMS REPORTED IN THE FORM 990. ANY ISSUES ARE ADDRESSED AND RESOLVED AND THE FINAL VERSION OF THE FORM 990 IS SIGNED BY THE SVP FINANCE/CFO OR ANOTHER OFFICER IF REQUIRED TO MEET TIMELY FILING REQUIREMENTS. THE AUDIT COMMITTEE DISCUSSES THE 990 PROCESS AT VARIOUS TIMES DURING THE YEAR TO DETERMINE THAT THE PROCESS IS APPROPRIATE.

THE COMMITTEE: - ASSESSES ANNUALLY THE PERFORMANCE OF THE CEO - RECOMMENDS TO THE BOARD APPROPRIATE COMPENSATION FOR THE CEO - REVIEWS AND DETERMINES THE EXECUTIVE TOTAL COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY OF BANNER HEALTH - ESTABLISHES THE PERMISSIBLE RANGES OF COMPENSATION FOR SENIOR EXECUTIVES AND DISQUALIFIED PERSONS - REVIEWS AND APPROVES THE DESIGN OF THE COMPONENTS OF COMPENSATION FOR SENIOR EXECUTIVES AND ANY OTHER DISQUALIFIED PERSONS AND MONITORS COMPLIANCE OF BANNER HEALTH WITH THE PHILOSOPHY AND DESIGN COMPONENTS OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION - RECEIVES THE CEO'S REPORT CONCERNING THE OVERALL PERFORMANCE AND DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT OF THE SENIOR EXECUTIVES - ACTS FOR THE BOARD IN THE ENGAGEMENT AND DIRECT OVERSIGHT OF EXTERNAL INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANTS ENGAGED TO PROVIDE ADVICE AND INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO THE REASONABLENESS AND COMPETITIVENESS OF THE COMPENSATION PAID TO THE CEO, SENIOR EXECUTIVES AND ANY OTHER DISQUALIFIED PERSONS, WHICH CONSULTANT REPORTS DIRECTLY TO THE COMMITTEE. IN ADDITION, THE COMMITTEE HAS ADOPTED THE FOLLOWING BEST PRACTICES WITH RESPECT TO ITS EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION OVERSIGHT FUNCTION: - REVIEWS ALL INCENTIVE PLANS, BENEFIT PLANS AND PROGRAMS THAT APPLY TO EMPLOYEES AND PHYSICIANS - APPROVES THE CEO'S RECOMMENDATIONS AS TO THE COMPENSATION OF SENIOR EXECUTIVES - USES TALLY SHEETS SUMMARIZING ALL COMPONENTS OF THE CEO'S AND SENIOR EXECUTIVES' COMPENSATION, INCLUDING A THREE-YEAR EARNINGS HISTORY AND THE COST OF ALL COMPENSATION (INCLUDING SPECIFICALLY DEFERRED COMPENSATION) AT THE TIME THAT ANY ACTION IS TAKEN WITH RESPECT TO THE CEO'S OR SENIOR EXECUTIVES' COMPENSATION IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT THE COMMITTEE IS FULLY INFORMED OF THE COMPLETE COMPENSATION PACKAGE BEFORE TAKING ANY SUCH ACTION - REVIEWS THE ANNUAL FORM 990 DISCLOSURES RELATING TO EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION TO ENSURE THE DISCLOSURES ACCURATELY RECONCILE TO THE COMPENSATION PACKAGES APPROVED BY THE COMMITTEE. AS STATED, THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE RETAINS AN EXTERNAL INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTING FIRM TO ASSIST THE COMMITTEE. IN 2011 THE COMMITTEE ENGAGED A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED COMPENSATION CONSULTING FIRM WITH SUBSTANTIAL HEALTHCARE EXPERIENCE. THIS FIRM REVIEWED AND OPINED AS TO THE REASONABLENESS OF THE TOTAL COMPENSATION PACKAGE OF THE PRESIDENT/CEO, SENIOR EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT, AND OTHER EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT IDENTIFIED BY THE COMMITTEE AS POTENTIAL DISQUALIFIED PERSONS. THE COMMITTEE PERIODICALLY REVIEWS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BANNER HEALTH AND EACH CONSULTANT TO ENSURE THE CONSULTANT'S INDEPENDENCE. IN CONNECTION WITH EACH SUCH EVALUATION, THE COMMITTEE REQUESTS A WRITTEN CERTIFICATION FROM EACH CONSULTANT THAT: - INCLUDES AN INDEPENDENCE ATTESTATION AFFIRMING THAT THE CONSULTANT HAS CONDUCTED ITS OWN INTERNAL ASSESSMENT AND, BASED ON SUCH ASSESSMENT AND ITS INTERNAL CONTROLS, CONCLUDED THAT IT HAS PERFORMED ITS SERVICES FOR THE COMMITTEE IN AN INDEPENDENT MANNER AND IS INDEPENDENT AS DEFINED IN THE INTERMEDIATE SANCTION REGULATIONS UNDER CODE SECTION 4958 - CONFIRMS THAT THE CONSULTANT REPORTS TO THE COMMITTEE THROUGH THE CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE AND THAT ALL CONSULTING ACTIVITY FOR BANNER HEALTH CONDUCTED BY SUCH CONSULTANT DURING THE PRECEDING YEAR WAS CONDUCTED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND CONSENT OF THE CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE - DETAILS THE AMOUNTS PAID BY BANNER HEALTH TO THE CONSULTANT IN ITS CAPACITY AS AN EXTERNAL COMPENSATION CONSULTANT TO THE COMMITTEE, AND THE AMOUNTS PAID BY BANNER HEALTH, IF ANY, TO THE CONSULTANT AND ITS AFFILIATES FOR ANY OTHER ENGAGEMENTS. WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF THE INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT, THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ANNUALLY REVIEWS THE PERFORMANCE OF THE PRESIDENT/CEO, AND RECOMMENDS ADJUSTMENTS TO HIS BASE SALARY AS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BASED UPON THE REVIEW, SUBJECT TO CONFIRMATION FROM THE CONSULTANT (WHO ATTENDS SUCH MEETING) THAT THE RECOMMENDATION IS APPROPRIATE AND WILL NOT RESULT IN THE OVERALL COMPENSATION OF THE PRESIDENT/CEO BECOMING UNREASONABLE. THE RECOMMENDATION IS THEN PRESENTED TO THE FULL BOARD OF DIRECTORS, WHICH THEN VOTES UPON THE RECOMMENDATION (WITH THE PRESIDENT/CEO ABSENT FROM THIS PORTION OF THE MEETING). IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT THE COMPENSATION DECISION IS SUBJECT TO THE ACTION OF INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS, THE BOARD MAY NOT APPROVE A SALARY ACTION DIFFERENT FROM THAT RECOMMENDED BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE WITHOUT THE CONCURRENCE OF THE COMMITTEE. THE PRESIDENT/CEO ESTABLISHES THE BASE SALARY OF THE EXECUTIVES WHO DIRECTLY REPORT TO HIM, AND THOSE EXECUTIVES IN TURN ESTABLISH THE BASE SALARY OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO REPORT TO THEM. ALL BASE SALARIES ARE, HOWEVER, BASED UPON RANGES FOR THE POSITIONS ESTABLISHED BY THE BANNER COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS DEPARTMENT. THESE RANGES ARE ESTABLISHED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AN EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY THAT IS ESTABLISHED, AND PERIODICALLY REVIEWED, BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. IN ADDITION, EXECUTIVES AND THOSE WHO REPORT TO THEM MAY NOT RECEIVE ANNUAL INCREASES GREATER THAN THOSE ESTABLISHED THROUGH THE PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND WITHIN OVERALL BUDGET TARGETS, WHICH ARE APPLICABLE TO ALL EXEMPT EMPLOYEES THROUGHOUT BANNER. PERIODIC EQUITY ADJUSTMENTS MAY BE MADE UPON APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS DEPARTMENT BASED UPON SPECIFIC MARKET DATA. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE RECEIVES AN ANNUAL REPORT FROM THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS DEPARTMENT SHOWING THAT BASE SALARIES ARE BEING MAINTAINED CONSISTENT WITH THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY APPROVED BY THE COMMITTEE.
