NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER	PART V, SECTION B, LINE 7: IN SOME FORM OR FASHION NGMC IS INVOLVED AT SOME LEVEL WITH MEETING THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS IDENTIFIED, HOWEVER THROUGH THE CHNA PROCESS AND THE LENS OF THE ACA, THE PROCESS ALSO HELPED US IDENTIFY OTHER COMMUNITY PARTNERS WHO CAN HELP US, AND IN SOME CASES WITH SOME OF THE ISSUES IDENTIFIED, OTHER COMMUNITY PARTNERS ARE BETTER SUITED TO LEAD IMPLEMENTATION OF PROGRAMS. SO WHILE NGMC HAS DEEPER INVOLVEMENT IN SOME NEED AREAS THAN OTHERS, WE PARTNER IN SOME WAY WITH MOST OF THE NEEDS. HERE ARE EXAMPLES OF SOME OF THE NEEDS THE HOSPITAL HAS NOT LED IN ADDRESSING WITH REASONS WHY:1. PROGRAMS DIRECTED TOWARD THE PHYSICALLY DISABLED:WHILE NGMC IS MORE INVOLVED WITH REHABILITATION PROGRAMS, THIS IS COMPLEMENTED BY A NUMBER OF HALL COUNTY COMMUNITY AGENCIES THAT ADVOCATE FOR AND HELP SUPPORT THE CAUSES OF THE PHYSICALLY DISABLED. SOME OF THEM INCLUDE THE DISABILITY RESOURCE CENTER, OUR NEIGHBOR, AND RANDY'S HOUSE DESCRIBED BELOW:DISABILITY RESOURCE CENTER, INC. IS A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION OFFERED TO INDIVIDUALS IN THE NORTH GEORGIA AREA WITH DISABILITIES. THE RESOURCE CENTER OFFERS SUPPORT TO INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES AND ASSISTS IN THESE INDIVIDUALS LIVING A MORE INDEPENDENT LIFE. SERVICES OFFERED INCLUDE ADVOCACY, INDEPENDENT LIVING SKILLS TRAINING, INFORMATION AND REFERRAL, PEER SUPPORT, ASSISTIVE DEVICE ASSISTANCE, COMPUTER AND TECHNOLOGY TRAINING, HOME MODIFICATIONS, AND SUPPORT GROUPS. OUR NEIGHBOR, INC.: OUR NEIGHBOR, INC. SUPPORTS 10 RESIDENTS IN THREE HOMES AND ONE APARTMENT. THROUGH BOTH PRIVATE & PUBLIC FUNDING, VOLUNTEER EFFORTS, A DEDICATED STAFF, A BOARD OF DIRECTORS, AND THE EFFORTS OF RESIDENTS, ONI OFFERS A BROAD RANGE OF SUPPORT FOR DISABLED YOUNG ADULTS. AT PRESENT, SERVICES INCLUDE: HOUSING, EMPLOYMENT & RESUME BUILDING, NETWORKING & REFERRALS TO ADDITIONAL RESOURCES, VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES, SOCIAL & LEGISLATIVE ADVOCATES, SUPPORT FOR FAMILIES, AS WELL AS NUMEROUS CLASSES AND ACTIVITIES FOR PEOPLE WITH VARYING LEVELS OF ABILITY.RANDY'S HOUSE: AS PART OF OUR NEIGHBOR, RANDY'S HOUSE IS A HOME FOR YOUNG HANDICAPPED ADULTS. NOT ONLY DOES THE HOME GIVE RESIDENTS INDEPENDENCE, IT GIVES THEIR FAMILIES PEACE KNOWING THAT THEIR ADULT CHILDREN CAN HAVE MORE MEANINGFUL LIVES. THE GOAL IS TO HAVE A COMMUNITY WHERE PEOPLE DO NOT NOTICE A PERSON'S DISABILITY, BUT EMBRACE A PERSON FOR WHO THEY ARE. THE LONG-TERM GOAL IS TO DUPLICATE WHAT RANDY'S HOUSE IS DOING IN GAINESVILLE IN OTHER COMMUNITIES IN THE STATE, SO THAT DISABLED PERSONS CAN LIVE WHEREVER THEY WOULD LIKE NEAR FAMILY AND FRIENDS OR IN AN ENTIRELY NEW COMMUNITY.2. PROMOTION OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN:WHILE NGMC DOES PARTICIPATE IN EFFORTS TO PROMOTE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN, THERE ARE OTHER AGENCIES IN THE COUNTY THAT ARE MEETING THIS NEED. A FEW ARE OUTLINED BELOW.GAINESVILLE PARKS AND RECREATION HAS SEVERAL FACILITIES AND PROGRAMS POISED TO HELP IN THE BATTLE AGAINST OBESITY, SUCH AS 20 PARKS, 14 PLAYGROUNDS, AND 8 MILES OF WALKING TRAILS IN NEIGHBORHOODS THROUGHOUT THE CITY, PUBLIC TENNIS COURTS, THE FRANCES MEADOWS AQUATIC AND COMMUNITY CENTER WHICH OFFERS YEAR ROUND PUBLIC SWIMMING, YOUTH ATHLETICS, SUMMER SPORTS CAMPS, AND MORE. ADDITIONALLY, A PRIORITY OF THIS AGENCY IS THAT ALL CHILDREN HAVE ACCESS TO PROGRAMS; THEREFORE, THEY HAVE A SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM CALLED CHILDREN AT PLAY FUND TO HELP CHILDREN WHO OTHERWISE MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE.HALL COUNTY PARKS & LEISURE'S MISSION IS TO DEVELOP, MAINTAIN AND PROVIDE A VARIETY OF QUALITY AND AFFORDABLE RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES AND SERVICES FOR ALL RESIDENTS. SOME OF THESE INCLUDE 1,459 ACRES OF PARK SPACE, 24 PARKS, COMMUNITY CENTERS, WALKING TRAILS, SOCCER COMPLEX, AND MORE.3. NEED FOR FREE OR LOW COST OPTIONS FOR THE WORKING POOR, UNINSURED, OR THE UNDERINSURED RELATED TO MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES; NEED FOR MORE FUNDING RESOURCES TO COVER THE HIGH COST OF MENTAL HEALTH RELATED MEDICATIONS:WHILE LAURELWOOD IS A RESOURCE FOR OUR COMMUNITY, THE NEEDS FOR THESE TYPES OF SERVICES ARE GREATER THAN THE RESOURCES WE COLLECTIVELY HAVE. WE ARE FORTUNATE TO HAVE AVITA COMMUNITY PARTNERS (AVITA COMMUNITY PARTNERS WAS FORMED BY THE 1993 GEORGIA STATE LEGISLATURE TO SERVE PERSONS EXPERIENCING THE DISABLING EFFECTS OF MENTAL ILLNESS, DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES, AND ADDICTIVE DISEASES) AND THE VETERAN'S ADMINISTRATION, HOWEVER THE NEED IS GREATER THAN RESOURCES AT HAND. THE LACK OF MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES IS A STATE-WIDE AND A NATIONAL ISSUE. 4. NEED FOR EDUCATION AND AWARENESS IN RELATION TO SENIORS' HEALTH ISSUES ACROSS THE HEALTHCARE CONTINUUM; NEED FOR FAMILY SUPPORT SERVICES.WHILE NGMC DOES PROVIDE CERTAIN SERVICES TO ASSIST THE SENIOR POPULATION IN GETTING THE HEALTHCARE EDUCATION AND SUPPORT THEY NEED, THE OVERALL NEEDS ARE GREATER THAN JUST ONE ORGANIZATION CAN MEET. GAINESVILLE-HALL COUNTY IS FORTUNATE TO HAVE THE FOLLOWING HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICE AGENCIES THAT HELP THE AREA'S SENIOR POPULATION. LEGACY LINK AREA AGENCY ON AGING (AAA): DESIGNATED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES IN THE NORTH EAST GEORGIA MOUNTAINS, AAA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ADVOCACY FOR SENIORS, PLANNING, AND ADMINISTRATION OF PROGRAMS, COORDINATION AND MONITORING SERVICES IN THE AREA. FEDERAL FUNDS AUTHORIZED BY A WIDE VARIETY OF FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS AND PROGRAMS ARE UTILIZED BY THIS NON-PROFIT AGENCY. THE 13 COUNTY SERVICE AREA INCLUDES: BANKS, DAWSON, FORSYTH, FRANKLIN, HABERSHAM, HALL, HART, LUMPKIN, RABUN, STEPHENS, TOWNS, UNION, AND WHITE. AAA HAS THE LEGACY SHOPPE LOCATED IN LAKESHORE MALL WHERE SENIORS CAN COME BY FOR INFORMATION ON SEMINARS, CLASSES OR JUST TO ASK QUESTIONS.A PLACE FOR MOM: THIS COMPANY HAS A LOCAL OFFICE AND PROVIDES INFORMATION ABOUT SENIOR HOUSING AND ELDER CARE PROVIDERS TO SENIORS AND THEIR FAMILIES.5. TRANSPORTATIONWHILE NGMC WILL NOT SPEARHEAD DIRECT PROJECTS RELATED TO THE TRANSPORTATION ISSUE, NGMC DOES HAVE SEVERAL SERVICES THAT MAKE HEALTHCARE MORE ACCESSIBLE TO THE COMMUNITY AS DESCRIBED BELOW. THE CITY OF GAINESVILLE IS FORTUNATE TO HAVE THE GAINESVILLE CONNECTION, WHICH PROVIDES SCHEDULED BUS SERVICES THROUGHOUT THE CITY OF GAINESVILLE AND PARTS OF THE CITY OF OAKWOOD. BUSES OPERATE FIVE DAYS A WEEK FROM 7:00 AM TO 5:30 PM. THE GAINESVILLE CONNECTION SERVES THE LOW INCOME POPULATION AND ALL COMERS; IT MAKES STOPS AT THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, GNCS, NGMC AND INCOME BASED HOUSING IN GAINESVILLE CITY. THE DIRECTOR OF THE COMMUNITY SERVICE CENTER IN GAINESVILLE, THE AGENCY THAT OVERSEES THE RED RABBIT, SERVES ON NGMC'S ADVISORY BOARD AS WELL AS ON THE HEALTH PARTNERS BOARD. 6. NEED TO BETTER UNDERSTAND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES THAT IMPACT THE HEALTH STATUS OF THE COMMUNITYSEVERAL REVIEWS AND STUDIES HAVE BEEN MADE ON ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES IN THE COMMUNITY. NGMC ACKNOWLEDGES THIS IS BEYOND THE SCOPE OF OUR AVAILABLE SERVICES. DISTRICT 2 PUBLIC HEALTH PROVIDES AN ARRAY OF SERVICES AND PROGRAMS TO PROTECT THE HEALTH OF RESIDENTS AND PROMOTE HEALTHY LIFESTYLES IN OUR AREA. SERVICES INCLUDE CLINICAL PROGRAMS LIKE IMMUNIZATIONS, CHILD HEALTH CHECKS AND WOMEN'S HEALTH. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH PROGRAMS INCLUDE FOOD SERVICE INSPECTIONS, TOURIST ACCOMMODATIONS INSPECTIONS, AND INDIVIDUAL SEWAGE SYSTEM PERMITS.

NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER

PART V, SECTION B, LINE 7: IN SOME FORM OR FASHION NGMC IS INVOLVED AT SOME LEVEL WITH MEETING THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS IDENTIFIED, HOWEVER THROUGH THE CHNA PROCESS AND THE LENS OF THE ACA, THE PROCESS ALSO HELPED US IDENTIFY OTHER COMMUNITY PARTNERS WHO CAN HELP US, AND IN SOME CASES WITH SOME OF THE ISSUES IDENTIFIED, OTHER COMMUNITY PARTNERS ARE BETTER SUITED TO LEAD IMPLEMENTATION OF PROGRAMS. SO WHILE NGMC HAS DEEPER INVOLVEMENT IN SOME NEED AREAS THAN OTHERS, WE PARTNER IN SOME WAY WITH MOST OF THE NEEDS. HERE ARE EXAMPLES OF SOME OF THE NEEDS THE HOSPITAL HAS NOT LED IN ADDRESSING WITH REASONS WHY:1. PROGRAMS DIRECTED TOWARD THE PHYSICALLY DISABLED:WHILE NGMC IS MORE INVOLVED WITH REHABILITATION PROGRAMS, THIS IS COMPLEMENTED BY A NUMBER OF HALL COUNTY COMMUNITY AGENCIES THAT ADVOCATE FOR AND HELP SUPPORT THE CAUSES OF THE PHYSICALLY DISABLED. SOME OF THEM INCLUDE THE DISABILITY RESOURCE CENTER, OUR NEIGHBOR, AND RANDY'S HOUSE DESCRIBED BELOW:DISABILITY RESOURCE CENTER, INC. IS A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION OFFERED TO INDIVIDUALS IN THE NORTH GEORGIA AREA WITH DISABILITIES. THE RESOURCE CENTER OFFERS SUPPORT TO INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES AND ASSISTS IN THESE INDIVIDUALS LIVING A MORE INDEPENDENT LIFE. SERVICES OFFERED INCLUDE ADVOCACY, INDEPENDENT LIVING SKILLS TRAINING, INFORMATION AND REFERRAL, PEER SUPPORT, ASSISTIVE DEVICE ASSISTANCE, COMPUTER AND TECHNOLOGY TRAINING, HOME MODIFICATIONS, AND SUPPORT GROUPS. OUR NEIGHBOR, INC.: OUR NEIGHBOR, INC. SUPPORTS 10 RESIDENTS IN THREE HOMES AND ONE APARTMENT. THROUGH BOTH PRIVATE & PUBLIC FUNDING, VOLUNTEER EFFORTS, A DEDICATED STAFF, A BOARD OF DIRECTORS, AND THE EFFORTS OF RESIDENTS, ONI OFFERS A BROAD RANGE OF SUPPORT FOR DISABLED YOUNG ADULTS. AT PRESENT, SERVICES INCLUDE: HOUSING, EMPLOYMENT & RESUME BUILDING, NETWORKING & REFERRALS TO ADDITIONAL RESOURCES, VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES, SOCIAL & LEGISLATIVE ADVOCATES, SUPPORT FOR FAMILIES, AS WELL AS NUMEROUS CLASSES AND ACTIVITIES FOR PEOPLE WITH VARYING LEVELS OF ABILITY.RANDY'S HOUSE: AS PART OF OUR NEIGHBOR, RANDY'S HOUSE IS A HOME FOR YOUNG HANDICAPPED ADULTS. NOT ONLY DOES THE HOME GIVE RESIDENTS INDEPENDENCE, IT GIVES THEIR FAMILIES PEACE KNOWING THAT THEIR ADULT CHILDREN CAN HAVE MORE MEANINGFUL LIVES. THE GOAL IS TO HAVE A COMMUNITY WHERE PEOPLE DO NOT NOTICE A PERSON'S DISABILITY, BUT EMBRACE A PERSON FOR WHO THEY ARE. THE LONG-TERM GOAL IS TO DUPLICATE WHAT RANDY'S HOUSE IS DOING IN GAINESVILLE IN OTHER COMMUNITIES IN THE STATE, SO THAT DISABLED PERSONS CAN LIVE WHEREVER THEY WOULD LIKE NEAR FAMILY AND FRIENDS OR IN AN ENTIRELY NEW COMMUNITY.2. PROMOTION OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN:WHILE NGMC DOES PARTICIPATE IN EFFORTS TO PROMOTE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN, THERE ARE OTHER AGENCIES IN THE COUNTY THAT ARE MEETING THIS NEED. A FEW ARE OUTLINED BELOW.GAINESVILLE PARKS AND RECREATION HAS SEVERAL FACILITIES AND PROGRAMS POISED TO HELP IN THE BATTLE AGAINST OBESITY, SUCH AS 20 PARKS, 14 PLAYGROUNDS, AND 8 MILES OF WALKING TRAILS IN NEIGHBORHOODS THROUGHOUT THE CITY, PUBLIC TENNIS COURTS, THE FRANCES MEADOWS AQUATIC AND COMMUNITY CENTER WHICH OFFERS YEAR ROUND PUBLIC SWIMMING, YOUTH ATHLETICS, SUMMER SPORTS CAMPS, AND MORE. ADDITIONALLY, A PRIORITY OF THIS AGENCY IS THAT ALL CHILDREN HAVE ACCESS TO PROGRAMS; THEREFORE, THEY HAVE A SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM CALLED CHILDREN AT PLAY FUND TO HELP CHILDREN WHO OTHERWISE MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE.HALL COUNTY PARKS & LEISURE'S MISSION IS TO DEVELOP, MAINTAIN AND PROVIDE A VARIETY OF QUALITY AND AFFORDABLE RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES AND SERVICES FOR ALL RESIDENTS.

TRANSPORTATIONWHILE NGMC WILL NOT SPEARHEAD DIRECT PROJECTS RELATED TO THE TRANSPORTATION ISSUE, NGMC DOES HAVE SEVERAL SERVICES THAT MAKE HEALTHCARE MORE ACCESSIBLE TO THE COMMUNITY AS DESCRIBED BELOW.
