| CORE FORM, PART III; STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | DOYLESTOWN HEALTH BACKGROUND ============================ The Village Improvement Association of Doylestown ("VIA") was founded in 1895 with the health and beauty of the community of Doylestown as its primary concerns. In response to community needs, the Visiting Nurse service was established in 1916, and in 1923 the VIA opened the first Doylestown Hospital, which it continued to own and operate as it grew and relocated until 1986. In 1986, a corporate restructuring established Doylestown Hospital as a subsidiary corporation of the newly created Doylestown Health Foundation, both governed by the VIA. At this time, V.I.A. AFFILIATES D/B/A DOYLESTOWN HEALTH PHYSICIANS, also a subsidiary of Doylestown Health Foundation and governed by the VIA was formed. These corporate changes facilitated each corporation focusing more precisely and efficiently on its mission. Great orchestras require exceptional talent, an array of finely tuned instruments and a skilled conductor to perform complex symphonies with excellence. Great healthcare organizations are much like great orchestras. Highly competent talent, comprehensive facilities and services, superior execution and flawless coordination of effort are all required to deliver excellence in patient care. From the start, we have been a community centered organization focused on improving the health of our community. The VIA founded the Doylestown Emergency Hospital in 1923 but its health-centered roots trace back to 1895 as they coordinated efforts to eliminate unhealthy dust from the towns streets. This passion for public health evolved into the establishment of the first visiting nurse service in Doylestown. Over the years, the VIA continued to address the health needs of our community by expanding or developing new services that comprise Doylestown Health and collectively include: - Doylestown Hospital - Doylestown Health Physicians - Doylestown Hospital Surgery Center and outpatient testing facilities at the Health and Wellness Center - Doylestown Hospital Home Health Care - Doylestown Hospital Hospice - Health Connections by Doylestown Hospital healthcare concierge services at the Warminster ShopRite - Pine Run Health Center - Pine Run Lakeview Personal Care - Pine Run Retirement Community - Childrens Village early childhood education program - CB Cares, in partnership with the Central Bucks School District Today, under the Doylestown Health banner, we gather all elements of our health system to expand beyond episodic care to community health and a continuum of coordinated care, from birth to end-of-life. In partnership with over 425 physicians on our medical staff, we anticipate providing enhanced and expanded services, achieving even greater accomplishments and a healthier community. In its 122nd year, the VIA oversees the operations of the system of affiliated members. The purposes of the VIA have been consistent throughout its history: - to encourage and promote public health and wellness; - to improve the health and welfare of the residents of Doylestown and greater Central Bucks County; - to provide food, clothing, shelter, and medical and surgical care and nursing to the indigent of the community without charge, insofar as hospital resources will permit; - to own, manage, support, and maintain a visiting nurse service and community hospital for the benefit of all persons; and - to raise funds for and to receive and hold all property that may be given to the Association to accomplish its mission. THE MISSION OF DOYLESTOWN HEALTH ("Health System") is to continuously improve the quality of life and proactively advocate for the health and well-being of the individual we serve. The vision of the Health System is to enthusiastically pursue healthcare excellence through collaboration and innovation. For the fiscal year ending 6/30/16 the Health System accounts for three tax exempt affiliates: (1) Doylestown Health Foundation; (2) Doylestown Hospital; and (3) V.I.A. Affiliates, D/B/A Doylestown Health Physicians. Described below are the charitable missions of these entities. DOYLESTOWN HEALTH FOUNDATION ---------------------------- The mission of the Foundation has four main points: assessment of community needs, communication of those needs and the health systems response to them, solicitation of funds to support the response, and the accountability to the community for both the management of the funds and the response to the needs. DOYLESTOWN HOSPITAL ------------------- Doylestown Hospitals mission is to continuously improve the quality of life and proactively advocates for the health and wellbeing of the individuals we serve. These community members include the vulnerable, the disenfranchised, those in need of health education, and those uninsured or underinsured persons who depend on us for care. As a values-based organization, Doylestown Hospital has made a public commitment to seven core SERVICE values: 1) We serve all members of the community; 2) We strive for excellence in our services and programs; 3) We respect the dignity of every member of the community; 4) We provide value through high-quality, low-cost services; 5) We seek innovation and integration for continuous improvement; 6) We are compassionate; and 7) We are committed to the health and wellness education of our community. The hospital holds Board members, Medical staff, and paid and unpaid staff accountable for incorporating these values into policies, behaviors, clinical practices and management decisions. Doylestown Hospital has received national recognition for quality and patient experience for a variety of services. Doylestown Hospital is a comprehensive 232-bed acute care facility serving families throughout Bucks and Montgomery Counties and Western New Jersey. The Medical Staff includes more than 425 physicians in more than 50 specialty areas. Areas of clinical emphasis and quality recognition include cardiovascular services, emergency medicine, oncology, maternal-child health, orthopedics, interventional radiology, gastroenterology, urology, general surgery and robotic surgery. PINE RUN COMMUNITY ------------------ In 1992 Doylestown Hospital enhanced its commitment to the older adult population in the Central Bucks County area by acquiring the Pine Run Community. Pine Run operates as a division of Doylestown Hospital with the following mission: "Pine Run Community is committed to and passionate about seniors, and we are dedicated to being an exceptional retirement community. By focusing on a spectrum of wellness for everyone in our continuum, we will enhance the quality of life throughout the region." Pine Run serves the surrounding community as a non-profit continuing care retirement community by offering a continuum of services at its facilities which includes 296 independent living units (the Village) on 42 acres of land in Doylestown; a 107-bed skilled nursing facility and 40-bed personal care facility (the Health Center), and a 107-bed personal care facility (Lakeview), located on a separate, 7.5 acre campus in Doylestown. Pine Run strives to be a progressive, resident-focused community, full of vitality and enthusiasm, promoting independence and wellness. Through a culture of wellness, Pine Run is dedicated to the promotion of holistic care and services for Villagers and Residents. The Village, located approximately three miles from the Hospital, consists of garden cottages set in clusters and a multi-unit apartment building, as well as a community center, dining room, store, library, and other amenities. Maintenance, security, housekeeping, utilities, dining, recreational, cultural, transportation and fitness services are provided for the Villagers. The Health Center, located on the same campus as the Village, provides transitional care for short-stay nursing and rehabilitation residents, with skilled nursing care and comprehensive therapy programs; a personal care Alzheimers AND Dementia Program for those with impaired memory; long-term care for residents requiring on-going custodial care; short-term respite care to allow home-based care givers to take a vacation or trip; and hospice care for end-of-life care. Lakeview, a personal care facility, was purchased by Doylestown Hospital in 1998 and added to the Pine Run family of facilities. It offers personal care accommodations in private suites and companion suites, with supportive services and enhanced programming for those with memory impairment. This personal care residence is three and a half (3.5) miles from the Pine Run Village, and two blocks from the main hospital. |
| CORE FORM, PART III; STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | V.I.A. AFFILIATES D/B/A DOYLESTOWN HEALTH PHYSICIANS ("DHP") ------------------------------------------------------------ DHP was reactivated in 1994 to bring to the residents of the Central Bucks community necessary community-based services that may not otherwise be available or included in the mission of other system entities. In order to meet the needs of community members, DHP has been involved with a number of initiatives. This organization supports the SERVICE core value of Doylestown Hospital. Doylestown Health: A system of healthcare services emphasizes proactive health and wellness in the community setting. The brand name "Doylestown Health" was adopted unanimously by the boards of Doylestown Hospital, Doylestown Health Foundation and the Village Improvement Association of Doylestown to describe the health system, renew the focus, and pay tribute to 120 years of community outreach. Doylestown Health is comprised of Doylestown Hospital, Pine Run Community, physician practices, outpatient services, surgical center, nursing home and home health. "Expectations of healthcare are moving away from the treatment of illness to fostering health and wellness for patients, families and communities" said Jim Brexler, President and CEO of Doylestown Health. "We are building on an illustrious past to be a leader in the shifting healthcare market of the future. It is poetically ironic that we undertake this bold transition from illness to wellness on the eve of the 120th year of the founding of the Village Improvement Association." The VIA was founded by a group of women in 1895 who organized themselves to improve the health of their community. Early in the 20th century, the VIA hired visiting nurses to care for the sick and newborns in their homes. Doylestown Hospital was opened by the VIA in 1923 with eight beds and a mission to provide emergency and maternity care. Today, Doylestown Hospital has a national reputation for healthcare excellence; institutes for heart, cancer and orthopedic services; a state-of-the-art emergency department, and centers for maternity and pediatric care. What makes it a complete health system are the interconnectedness of services and facilities organized under the Doylestown Health banner. Among the elements: nearly 300 retirement cottages and apartments of the Pine Run Community, skilled nursing and dementia care at Pine Run Health Center, assisted living at Pine Run Lakeview, daycare services at Childrens Village at Doylestown Hospital, and Health Connections, a community outreach service at the Cowhey Family ShopRite in Warminster. Outpatient laboratory services and a surgical center are located in the Health & Wellness Center, Warrington. Home Health and Hospice services are based in Plumstead Township. "As we look to our future, we are building on the successes of our past" Brexler said. "Among the most enduring aspects of our history is the partnership with our medical community, who sets the tone for clinical excellence and collaborates with all parts of the health system to create a continuum of care, from birth to end-of-life." The creation of the Doylestown Healthcare Partnership, jointly owned by individual physicians and the health system, is designed to further improve clinical and financial integration to improve the quality and delivery of healthcare. A strong emphasis is on preventive health services that not only encourage wellness, but anticipates illness to prevent acute episodes and hospital readmissions. To that end, the Doylestown Healthcare Partnership has created a tool that helps estimate the risk of a hospitalization or readmission for chronically-ill patients. The tool enables clinicians to be proactive in their outreach to patients at home. Overview: Doylestown Health =========================== Doylestown Health is a connected system of inpatient, outpatient and community services that include: Doylestown Hospital ------------------- Nationally and regionally recognized for high quality and innovation, the hospital may be the flagship of the health system but relies on care coordination with community physicians and the effectiveness of its many parts for success. The Hospital has 232 beds and a Medical Staff of more than 425 physicians offering comprehensive healthcare services for all stages of life. Doylestown Hospital Surgery Center ---------------------------------- Located in the Health & Wellness Center in Warrington, the Surgery Center is a fully-equipped, state-licensed and certified multi-specialty same-day surgery facility. The center has four state-of-the-art operating rooms and a treatment room for less invasive procedures. Pine Run Retirement Community ----------------------------- A retirement community with 272 cottages and 24 apartments situated on a 42-acre landscaped campus provides an active and engaging lifestyle for "Villagers" with shared and diverse interests. Pine Run Health Center Health ----------------------------- Renovations were completed in Spring 2015 for this multi-faceted facility with a 90-bed skilled nursing unit providing transitional and long-term care. Along with rehabilitation, hospice and respite services, the Health Center also offers a separate and secure 40-bed personal care dementia and Alzheimers neighborhood. Pine Run Lakeview ----------------- Our personal care community encourages independence and supports every individual need, from fine dining to companionship.

CB Cares is a partnership between Doylestown Health and Central Bucks School District. |
| CORE FORM, PART III; STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | Doylestown Health Highlights ============================ 1) THE RICHARD A. REIF HEART INSTITUTE Doylestown Healths Richard A. Reif Heart Institute is a nationally-recognized cardiac program with capabilities ranging from patient education and preventive heart health programs to technically-advanced minimally-invasive valve replacements and delicate open-heart surgeries to a robust cardiac rehabilitation program. The Woodall Chest Pain Center, an extension of the Heart Institute, works with local ambulance services to ensure rapid treatment for heart attack even before a patient arrives in the Emergency Department. The Heart Institute is a regional leader in electrophysiology procedures offering a wide array of treatment options for the management of atrial fibrillation, and is one of only a few centers in the region providing the Convergent Procedure, an advanced care option for hard-to-treat arrhythmias. Recent technological innovations in heart care: The Watchman device is a new option for patients with Atrial Fibrillation who cannot tolerate anticoagulants approved by the FDA in March 2015 and deployed for the first time at Doylestown Hospital in February 2016. The device helps prevent a stroke without the side effects of a blood thinner. Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) is an advanced care option for patients needing a new aortic valve who cannot undergo traditional valve-replacement surgery. TAVR is performed by the Heart Institutes multidisciplinary team of cardiac specialists that includes cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, interventional cardiologists and radiologists. Doylestown Hospital was the first in the state to use the medtronic reveal linq instertable cardiac monitor (ICM) - which is 80% smaller than other ICMs. This wireless monitor provides long-term remote monitoring to help physicians diagnose and monitor irregular heartbeats. - Mission: Lifeline Gold Plus for heart attack treatment; - Get With The Guidelines Resuscitation Silver Award; - Heart Failure Gold Plus Award (fourth consecutive year); and - Blue Distinction Center of Excellence. 2) EMERGENCY SERVICES The Emergency Department (ED) remains among the most technologically advanced and equipped ED units in the region. With over 44,000 patients including nearly 8,000 pediatric patients, the Department offers a breadth of care options to the community 24 hours a day. Excellence and speed of critical care is paramount and is notable when treating heart attack and stroke. The unit is home to the Woodall Chest Pain Center for the rapid assessment of heart attack and also collaborates with Jefferson Hospital neuroscience specialists and its Jefferson Expert Teleconsulting system for emergency diagnosis and treatment of stroke. Doylestown Hospitals ED was the recipient of the 2015 Guardian of Excellence Award from Press Ganey Associates. The ED received this award for the fourth consecutive year. It recognizes top-performing facilities that consistently achieve the 95th percentile of performance in patient satisfaction. 3) STROKE SERVICES The stroke program took a significant leap forward through partnership with regional Emergency Medical Services to call a stroke alert from the field before ambulances arrive at the hospital, giving the care team a head-start in preparing for the patients arrival. The partnership greatly reduced the time it takes for a patient to receive a potentially-lifesaving clot busting drug stroke and increased the number of patient receiving the treatment. The hospitals partnership with regional EMS earned the Health Care Improvement Foundations 2015 Delaware Valley Patient Safety and Quality Award, presented in March 2016. Working with cardiac interventionalists, the stroke program also instituted a new procedure to mechanically retrieve clots causing a stroke via intra-arterial thrombectomy. This procedure was previously done in academic centers by neurointerventionalists, but combination of training and equipment makes the procedure available in the community setting. This development is especially significant because "time is brain" during a stroke and interventions must be very timely. 4) THE ORTHOPEDIC INSTITUTE Our dedicated orthopedic physicians and staff offer complete care before, during and after procedures for a full range of movement. Our focus is on keeping joints, bones and muscle healthy. When surgery is necessary, there are innovative, rapid-recovery options available through the Doylestown Accelerated Surgical Healing Program. Our patients recover from total joint replacement surgery in weeks, not months, with rehabilitation occurring before and after surgery for the best outcomes. We provide a well-established sports medicine team with many of our physicians serving as team doctors for regional high schools. Other areas of expertise include shoulder joint replacement as an emerging specialty, and surgeries of the hand, spine and rotator cuff. - Certified by The Joint Commission for total hip and knee joint replacement; and - Blue Distinction Center + of Distinction for knee and hip replacements. 5) THE CANCER INSTITUTE Accredited by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer, The Cancer Institute provides quality care from board-certified physicians and oncology-certified practitioners. This experienced team provides comprehensive, coordinated care centered on cancer prevention and screening, diagnosis, medical oncology, radiation oncology, surgery and survivorship and support programs. As an integrated partner with Penn Radiation Oncology and the Penn Cancer Network, The Cancer Institute demonstrates excellence in community outreach, clinical services, quality improvement and research. Cancer Institute Highlights: Breast Center: The Breast Center of Doylestown Hospital offers comprehensive breast cancer and well-breast care. From early detection through advanced screening options to complex surgical treatments including breast-sparing techniques, the Center is a resource for total breast health. New mammography protocols specific to breast density were incorporated by the Womens Diagnostic Center. In addition to mammography, ultrasound and MRI can help find breast cancers that cannot be seen on a mammogram. New to Doylestown Health is 3-D Mammography, or breast tomosynthesis, which provides certain patients with an additional option for detecting breast cancer in its earliest stages. - Designated as a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence by the American College of Radiology (ACR). Gastrointestinal Cancers: Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) This new procedure offers advanced endoscopy care close to home. EUS combines endoscopy with ultrasound technology to create a more detailed view of the gastrointestinal tract and surrounding tissue and organs. Using EUS, physicians can diagnose conditions that can be missed by other imaging modalities and can obtain biopsies in a less invasive manner with higher accuracy. Lung Cancer: The Cancer Institute established a low-dose CT lung cancer screening program for asymptomatic patients who meet the established criteria, with the goal of earlier detection, more accurate diagnoses and more effective treatments for lung cancer. Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) is available at Doylestown Hospital to biopsy, diagnose and stage lung cancer. In the past, to perform lung cancer biopsy an inpatient surgical procedure called mediastinoscopy was required. Now, through EBUS, physicians can achieve the same, accurate results using a convenient minimally invasive diagnostic procedure performed on an outpatient basis. Infusion Therapy: For those in need of medications delivered intravenously, the Doylestown Hospital Outpatient Infusion Unit offers private rooms and treatment bays at The Pavilion. This unit provides infusion for many conditions that include cancer, lupus, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and more. 6) MATERNITY AND CHILDRENS SERVICES Maternity care is at the very heart of Doylestown Hospital and has been since we opened our doors in 1923. The VIA Maternity Center continues the legacy today with 22 private rooms and nine private labor and delivery rooms for over 1,300 deliveries each year. A neonatal intensive care unit, staffed by The Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia neonatologists, is housed in the Maternity Center. From prenatal to postpartum care, our highly skilled clinical team uses a family-focused approach to ensure happy and healthy moms and babies. |
| CORE FORM, PART III; STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | Doylestown Hospital continually strives for low ratio for early birth intervention such as early inductions, C-section rate and episiotomy. The early delivery of a baby has potential for serious health problems. In an ideal pregnancy, babies are born after 39 weeks of gestation. Early induction or C-section are medically-indicated only when the health of the baby or mother is at risk. Prenatal care of mother and child by experienced OB/GYNs or nurse midwives is an important factor in achieving a full-term birth. Della-Penna Pediatric Center: The Della-Penna Pediatric Center celebrated its first anniversary in October 2015.
