RESPIRATORY HEALTHTHE CHNA IDENTIFIED THAT CECIL COUNTY COMMUNITY HEALTH PROBLEMS AND UNION HOSPITAL RE-ADMISSIONS WERE GREATEST AROUND RESPIRATORY HEALTH ISSUES. IN PARTICULAR, ISSUES LIKE COPD WERE EXACERBATED BY TOBACCO USE. CREATING A TOBACCO CESSATION PROGRAM WAS EXPLORED; HOWEVER, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT BECAUSE OF THE RESOURCES THAT THE CECIL COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT HAD AND WITH SUPPORTS PROVIDED THROUGH THE CECIL COUNTY TOBACCO TASK FORCE, UNION HOSPITAL SHOULD FOCUS TOBACCO CESSATION EFFORTS ON INCREASING THE NUMBER OF CONTACTS AND CONNECTIONS MADE WITH THESE ESTABLISHED COMMUNITY PROGRAMS.2. HEART DISEASETHE CHNA IDENTIFIED HEART DISEASE AS THE SECOND MOST IMPORTANT HEALTH ISSUE IN CECIL COUNTY. CECIL COUNTY RESIDENTS ARE AT HIGH RISK FOR HEART DISEASE AND STROKE DUE TO HIGHER PREVALENCE OF DIABETES, HYPERTENSION, AND POOR NUTRITION. UNION HOSPITAL WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES TO EDUCATE AND CREATE AWARENESS AROUND THE RISK FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH HEART DISEASE, INCLUDING CONTINUED ACCESS TO STROKE RISK ASSESSMENTS AT COMMUNITY EVENTS. IN FACT, DURING FY15 THE UNION HOSPITAL MULTI-SPECIALTY PRACTICES MADE IT THEIR GOAL TO REDUCE HYPERTENSION AMONG OUTPATIENTS. THE PRACTICES WORKED HAND-IN-HAND WITH THE CECIL COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO COMPILE EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS FOR PATIENTS, AS WELL AS TRAINED ALL MEDICAL ASSISTANT STAFF IN THE APPROPRIATE WAY TO TAKE A MANUAL BLOOD PRESSURE, ACCORDING TO A COMMUNITY HEALTH POLICY THAT WAS ESTABLISHED IN FY14 THROUGH THE MILLION HEARTS GRANT FOR CECIL COUNTY.3. OBESITYIN CECIL COUNTY, OBESITY IMPACTS BOTH YOUTH AND ADULTS. SIMILAR TO HEART DISEASE AND TOBACCO USE, MAKING HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CHOICES, SUCH AS CHOOSING A HEALTHIER DIET OR GETTING MORE EXERCISE, HELPS REDUCE THE RISK FOR OBESITY. UNION HOSPITAL PARTNERED WITH SEVERAL COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO ASSESS AND IMPLEMENT ACTIVITIES THAT AIMED TO REDUCE THE PREVALENCE OF OBESITY IN CECIL COUNTY. IN FY15, UNION HOSPITAL PARTNERED WITH NEMOURS HEALTH AND PREVENTION SERVICES, CECIL COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS, CECIL COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT, AND THE YMCA OF CECIL COUNTY, INC. TO IMPLEMENT AN AFTER-SCHOOL PILOT PROGRAM CALLED "CATCH KIDS CLUB" (CKC) IN A TITLE 1 PUBLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND A PUBLIC MIDDLE SCHOOL IN ELKTON. CKC ENGAGES YOUTH IN STRUCTURED PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES WITH INTEGRATED NUTRITION EDUCATION. THE CHNA REVEALED SEVERAL HEALTH NEEDS THAT WERE NOT SELECTED FOR PRIORITIZATION BY UNION HOSPITAL. THESE NEEDS ARE NOT BEING ADDRESSED DIRECTLY BY THE HOSPITAL BUT ARE BEING ADDRESSED BY OTHER ENTITIES IN THE COMMUNITY.LOCAL HEALTH IMPROVEMENT COALITION HEALTH NEEDS: PRESCRIPTION DRUG ABUSE, SUBSTANCE ABUSE, MENTAL HEALTH ACCESS TO TREATMENT, CHILD NEGLECT THESE HEALTH NEEDS WERE NOT PRIORITIZED BECAUSE THE LOCAL HEALTH IMPROVEMENT COALITION WAS ABLE TO PRODUCE A COMMUNITY HEALTH ACTION PLAN TO ADDRESS THEM. MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS IN THE COALITION ARE CURRENTLY WORKING TOGETHER TO INCORPORATE STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS THESE HEALTH NEEDS, AS WELL AS ACHIEVE MEASURABLE OUTCOMES. UNION HOSPITAL IS REPRESENTED ON THE COALITION AND IS CURRENTLY WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH SEVERAL COMMUNITY PARTNERS ON ALL OF THESE HEALTH NEEDS. HOMELESSNESS THE ELKTON ALLIANCE (CHAMBER OF COMMERCE) HAS DEVELOPED A COALITION TO BETTER IDENTIFY AND ADDRESS THE HEALTH AND SOCIAL NEEDS OF THE HOMELESS POPULATION IN CECIL COUNTY. UNION HOSPITAL STAFF ACTIVELY PARTICIPATES ON THIS COALITION. ACCESS TO CARE ADDRESSING ACCESS TO CARE ISSUES, INCLUDING TRANSPORTATION NEEDS, IS A MISSION DRIVEN CONCERN FOR UNION HOSPITAL, AND IS ADDRESSED ON A DAILY BASIS. OTHER HEALTH BASED ORGANIZATIONS IN CECIL COUNTY ALSO WORK TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE ACCESS TO CARE (I.E., THE CECIL COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT, SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH CENTERS IN BAINBRIDGE AND GILPIN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, AND WEST CECIL HEALTH CENTER, A FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER).

ALSO, SOME PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS OFFER MEDICAL TRANSPORT ACCORDING TO BOTH INSURANCE COVERAGE AND LOCAL NEED. UNION HOSPITAL DOES NOT HAVE TRANSPORT VEHICLES NOR THE CAPITAL TO START AND MAINTAIN SUCH AN ENDEAVOR. RESOURCE ALLOCATION IS BETTER SERVED BY COLLABORATING WITH OTHER ENTITIES THAT HAVE VEHICLES OR BRINGING ISSUES OF ACCESS TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT TO ADVOCATE FOR BETTER PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. GERIATRIC CARE IMPROVEMENTS GERIATRIC CARE IMPROVEMENTS REFLECT CONCERNS RELATED TO FALLS, ISOLATION, DEPRESSION, IMPROPER DIET AND POOR CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT. INCIDENTALLY, THE CECIL COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND SEVERAL LOCAL COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS HAVE PROGRAMS TAILORED TO ADDRESSING, DEPRESSION, ISOLATION, CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT AND FALLS PREVENTION.
