HealthEast St. Joseph's Hospital	Part V, Section B, Line 6a: The organization's community needs health assessment was conducted with the following hospital facilities:HealthEast Bethesda HospitalHealthEast St. John's HospitalHealthEast Woodwinds HospitalPart V, Section B, Line 7a:https://healtheast.org/images/stories/about/community-health-assessment.pdfPart V, Section B, Line 10:https://healtheast.org/images/stories/about/2016-18-comm-health-implement-plan.pdf
HealthEast St. Joseph's Hospital	Part V, Section B, Line 11: Aligned with the organization's vision for Optimal Health and Well-being, our Community Health Needs Assessment Advisory Committee and other stakeholders created three priority goals, with supporting objectives and strategies from the most recently conducted Community Health Needs Assessment. The goals aim to reduce health disparities and improve well-being among east metro residents, particularly among aging residents, residents living in poverty, and communities of color. A number of strategies included in the implementation plan also address other community health concerns that were identified during the assessment process, but not elevated as a priority issue. As of year-end, the organization began implementing several strategies surrounding their three priority goals. The following are the actions taken by the organization on their three priority goals this year.Priority: ObesityGoal: Promote healthy lifestyles and improve access to nutritious food and physical activity in order to increase the percentage of people living at a healthy weight.The first objective the organization wanted to achieve was an increase in participation regarding nutrition and physical activity education classes offered in targeted neighborhoods or in areas with priority populations. The organization offered these free or reduced cost wellness and prevention community programs:A diabetes prevention program was offered with the following results: 12 participants. A 2% group weight loss was achieved versus a target of 7% and the group averaged 327 minutes of physical activity per week compared to a target 150 minutes/week.A Tai Ji Quan fall prevention program included 24 participants which reported a reduction in falls from 10 (pre-class) to 0 (during 12-week class). 80% of the participants reported doing exercises they learned in class while at home and 30% reported they made changes at home to reduce risk their of falling.The Matter of Balance Fall Prevention Program offered an 8-week program and had 70 participants. The participants reported a 70% decrease in falls during 8-week program and a 9% decrease in fear of falling while 88% percent did exercises at home and 50% made changes at home to reduce the risk of falling.The second objective in the obesity priority was to improve access to healthy food. The organization, along with other community partners, explored food systems in the east metro area and identified opportunities to increase healthy food choices and access to healthy food. The partners, all concerned about health and well-being on St. Paul's East Side, co-designed an 18-month prototype to improve access to healthy food on the East Side by providing opportunities to develop food skills. They secured funding, hired a project coordinator, drafted an evaluation and measurement plan and prepared for program launch in February 2017. Priority: Unmet Mental Health Needs Goal: Improve access to and awareness of culturally appropriate mental health resources and education.The first objective within this priority is to increase access to resources for patients with mental health needs.The organization did the following things that aligned with this objective:With the help of community partners, we provided culturally responsive mental health and addiction resources to the Karen community by reaching over 300 participants through community education or pastor trainings. The organization helped provide mental health medication and financial assistance through the Mental Health Alliance Collaboration. A Mental Health Medication Financial Assistance fund was created by east metro hospitals to assist community members with medication management needs. 300 people were served across the Twin Cities east metro area. Philanthropic funding was provided by HealthEast Foundation.Through the East Side Mental Health and Stress Resilience Partnership, we helped develop an 18-month prototype to increase opportunities to build stress-resilience and holistic well-being. Services will include cultural brokers to increase access to culturally-based services and social supports; provider trainings to increase knowledge, cultural responsiveness and collaboration; community dialogues to decrease cultural stigmas associated with mental health; and safe and sacred spaces. The second objective within the unmet mental health needs priority is to increase social connectedness for aging population through the Passport Program. This is a program that serves people age 50+ to give them opportunities to connect and socialize through City Passport Center and community-based activities and events. Partners include the City of St. Paul and Metropolitan Area Agency on Aging. The program reported 11,807 encounters with members.Priority: Access to Services and Resources Goal: Improve access to and understanding of resources that positively impact health and the social determinants of health.The first objective of this priority is to reduce stressors and increase coping skills regarding basic needs (social determinants of health). The organization wants to promote housing options for homeless patients to decrease hospital readmission rates and improve the health and well-being of this group. Along with community partners, planning began in FY 2016 with a project launch in April 2017. Target population is 12 inpatient mental health patients with serious and persistent mental health issues who have been chronically homeless. The aim is to identify eligible patients for targeted case management. Upon discharge from the hospital, patient will be referred to temporary housing with a goal to be in permanent supported housing within 120 days. The second objective within this priority is to promote access to services in the community. This was addressed though Faith Community Nurses (FCN) who provided basic health screenings, referrals to community resources and social connection in community-based settings. In FY 2016, FCN had 2,300 encounters with community members. To enhance access to health care services through insurance coverage, a pilot project has been developed to embed a Health Insurance Liaison into clinical settings that have a large population of immigrants and refugees with no health insurance. The liaison will help patients navigate health coverage programs, including Medicaid, Minnesota Care, Portico or employer health insurance plans. Pilot to end in May 2017. Significant needs identified through our assessment that will not be addressed in the current three-year plan are listed below.Affordable Housing and Housing Supports. This issue is beyond what our resources can support at this time.Social Isolation. This issue will not be addressed as a primary need, but will be impacted through our mental health and access to services priorities.Transportation. This issue will not be addressed as a primary need, but will be impacted through our access to services priority.Poor Nutrition. This issue will not be addressed as a primary need, but will be impacted through our obesity priority.Physical Inactivity. This issue will not be addressed as a primary need, but will be impacted through our obesity priority.Tobacco. Significant progress has already been made on this issue; need identified as a low priority.Unintentional Injury. Need identified as a low priority; unintentional injuries related to falls among the aging population will be addressed through our obesity priority.

Form and Line Reference	Explanation
Part I, Line 6a:	This organization is part of the HealthEast Care System which prepares an annual community benefit report called "HealthEast Report to the Community" on a consolidated basis.
Part I, Line 7:	The amounts reported on Form 990, Schedule H, Part I, Line 7a, 7b, 7c and 7g were determined using the cost to charge ratio derived from Worksheet 2 in the Schedule H, Form 990 Instructions. Form 990, Schedule H, Part I, Lines 7e, 7f and 7i are reported at charges as recorded by the organization.
Part I, Ln 7 Col(f):	The Bad Debt expense included on Form 990, Part IX, Line 25, Column (A), but subtracted for purposes of calculating the percentage in this column is $1,574,180.
Part III, Line 2:	The bad debt expense reported on Part III, Line 2 is reported at charges as recorded by the organization.The following describes the costing methodology used in determining bad debt and the rationale for including a portion of bad debt as community benefit:The bad debt allowance is calculated as a percentage of patient receivables after deductions for estimated provisions for contractual adjustments (discounts) on services provided to enrollees of Medicare, Medicaid, third-party payor programs, charity care, uninsured discounts, and other administrative adjustments.Certain patient accounts are written off to bad debt because the organization does not have sufficient information to determine if the patient would qualify for free care or financial aid. Therefore, it is possible that some bad debt is actually charity care. However, if a patient account is written off to bad debt and the collection agency later determines that the patient would have qualified for free care or financial aid, then the bad debt expense is reclassified to charity care.
Part III, Line 4:	The footnote to the financial statements that describes the bad debt expense is located on page 10 of the audited financial statements.
Part III, Line 8:	The organization believes that at least some portion of the costs we incur in excess of payments received from the Federal government for providing medical services to Medicare enrollees and beneficiaries under the Federal Medicare Program (shortfall or Medicare shortfall) constitutes a community benefit. Providing these services clearly lessens the burdens of the government by alleviating the Federal government from having to directly provide these medical services. As demonstrated and calculated on Form 990, Schedule H, Part III, Lines 5, 6 and 7, our Medicare "allowable costs" clearly exceed the payments we receive for providing these medical services under the Medicare Program. By absorbing the Medicare shortfall costs we are providing a community benefit as well as easing the burden of the Federal government having to cover these costs.To arrive at the Form 990, Schedule H, Part III, Line 6 amount we used actual Medicare charges from internal records and applied an estimated cost to charge ratio to determine the Medicare allowable costs. The estimated Medicare cost to charge ratio is the prior period Medicare Cost Report cost to charge ratio.
Part III, Line 9b:	The organization's collection policy and practices provide that a patient who indicates an inability to pay be provided with the information and application for the organization's financial aid policy. When a completed financial assistance application is received, it is processed according to the organization's policy to determine whether the patient qualifies for discounted or free medical services. The organization will not begin the billing process until a determination is made whether the patient qualifies for discounted or free medical services. However, if a patient expires or files for bankruptcy prior to providing a completed financial assistance application, there is no way to determine if the patient qualifies for charity care.
Part VI, Line 2:	HealthEast contracted with Wilder Research to design and implement an assessment process that would build on work done in prior assessments and to better understand community health needs.The CHNA process was designed to gather current demographic and health data from a variety of sources in order to understand the needs of east metro residents. Results from more than 1700 surveys administered to HealthEast primary care clinic patients and City Passport members were collected. Key themes were identified by HealthEast care coordinators, social workers and other professionals through discussion groups.Discussions with Hmong, Karen, and Vietnamese immigrants and refugees through the Center for Social Healing, helped to identify community needs. HealthEast patient data appropriate to population health was used to identify areas where HealthEast serves the largest numbers of patients, as well as potentially underserved areas. A comprehensive review of local demographic and health data was used to identify health status and health disparities. This included a review of data for the leading causes of death in the east metro counties, as well as common risk factors that contribute to poor health, including obesity, physical inactivity, and tobacco use.
Part VI, Line 3:	HealthEast St. Joseph's Hospital has Financial Counselors and Social Workers available to assist patients in determining whether they qualify for help with their medical bills. Billing and Insurance Information is available online and in the patient handbook that is provided to patients, which explain the organization's billing and payment policies as well as contact information for discussing financial assistance with our Financial Counselors and Social Workers. Patients are informed about the availability of federal, state and local medical assistance programs, charity care availability as well as discounted care eligibility requirements.The patient handbook also provides information regarding collection policies and practices. Bills provided to patients include the following statement: "Financial Aid Available: It is important that you let us know if you will have trouble paying your bill. HealthEast may be able to help you get free or low-cost health coverage through community or government programs. Although HealthEast can assist you in this process, you must apply for these benefits if you are eligible."
Part VI, Line 4:	The primary service area for HealthEast Care System hospitals includes the three east metro counties of Dakota County, Ramsey County, and Washington County. Combined, the service area includes over one million residents and there are three major demographic trends. 1-A growing aging population: Across the state and in the east metro, the percentage of aging residents is growing. By 2030, approximately 1 in 4 residents in the east metro will be age 65 and older. Right now, nearly one-third (30%) of residents age 65 or older have one or more disabilities. As this number increases, so will the need for a range of services, supports, and accommodations to help aging residents maintain a high quality of life. 2-Continued poverty: Rates of poverty are notably higher in Ramsey County, where 17 percent of residents live at or below the federal poverty line, compared to Dakota (7%) and Washington (6%) counties. Poverty rates have decreased in Ramsey and Washington counties since the peak of the recession (2008-2010), while poverty rates have continued to increase in Dakota County, potentially due to a growing number of lower-income immigrant and refugee residents. Rates of unemployment are approximately twice as high in Ramsey County (10%) than in Dakota (5%) or Washington (4%) counties.3-Increasing cultural diversity: The percentage of residents of color has increased dramatically during the past 25 years. Today, nearly one-third of Ramsey County residents are persons of color. This shift in diversity is shaped predominately by changes in young adults and children. Only 5 percent of Twin Cities residents age 85 or older are people of color, compared to 41 percent of residents age 5 or younger. The ten leading causes of premature death in the Twin Cities east metro include a number of chronic conditions (e.g., cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, chronic lower respiratory disease), unintentional injury, acute illness (e.g., pneumonia/ influenza), and suicide.
Part VI, Line 5:	In addition to the community benefits and activities described in other parts of this filing, HealthEast St. Joseph's Hospital is part of the HealthEast Care System which furthers its tax-exempt charitable purpose and promotes the health of the communities it serves including, but not limited to the following: The organization's hospitals extend medical staff privileges to all qualified physicians in the community. HealthEast St. Joseph's Hospital as part of the HealthEast Care System, a tax-exempt health care system, reinvests any excess revenues back into the core operations of the organization for which the tax-exemption was granted.The organization offers various health care classes, health screenings, support groups and other events related to the promotion of health. Some examples are in the following areas: Diabetes, Pain Care, Pregnancy, Birthing, Parenting, Heart Disease, Weight Loss, Women's Health, Vein Therapy, Chemical Dependency, Stroke, Cancer, Brain Injury, Smoking Cessation and CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation).HealthEast Care System is governed by a board of directors that are members of the community the organization serves.
Part VI, Line 6:	HealthEast Care System is a community-focused, non-profit health care organization that provides innovative technology, compassionate care, and a full spectrum of family health services. HealthEast includes Bethesda Hospital, St. John's Hospital, St. Joseph's Hospital, and Woodwinds Health Campus as well as outpatient services, clinics, home care, and medical transportation services.Organization Mission:We are called to improve the health of our neighbors.HealthEast includes four hospitals, 14 primary care clinics, outpatient services, home care and medical transportation services. With approximately 7,500 employees and 850 physicians on staff, it meets a broad array of community health needs, through a blend of "high tech" services, traditional medicine and integrative therapies.

Return Reference	Explanation
Part I, Line 3	HealthEast Care System, a related tax-exempt organization, engages an external consulting firm to review annually the compensation of the organization's CEO, Senior Vice Presidents and Vice Presidents. The review was last completed in November 2015. The process includes the external consulting firm evaluating current base salaries and total cash and benefits compared to comparable positions within the comparator group.
