AS A SERVICE TO THE PATIENT, THE CORPORATION BILLS THIRD-PARTY PAYERS DIRECTLY AND BILLS THE PATIENT WHEN THE PATIENT'S LIABILITY IS DETERMINED. PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE DUE IN FULL WHEN BILLED. ACCOUNTS ARE CONSIDERED DELINQUENT AND SUBSEQUENTLY WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBTS BASED ON INDIVIDUAL CREDIT EVALUATION AND SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE ACCOUNT.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 8 MEDICARE SHORTFALL ------------------ Amounts reported on Lines 5 and 6 were based on the corporation's Medicare Cost Report.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 2 NEEDS ASSESSMENT ---------------- IN 2014, PROFESSIONAL RESEARCH CONSULTANTS (PRC) WAS ENGAGED TO CONDUCT A NEEDS ASSESSMENT OF EMRMC'S COMMUNITY, WHICH IS DEFINED AS THE PRINCIPAL RESIDENTIAL ZIP CODES IN BOYLE, CASEY, GARRARD, LINCOLN, MERCER AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES IN KENTUCKY.

Information regarding the free clinic is also given by healthcare providers, faith community nurses, case workers and other medical professionals.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 4 COMMUNITY INFORMATION --------------------- THE HEALTH SYSTEM SERVES BOYLE, MERCER, CASEY, LINCOLN, GARRARD AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES, WHICH HAVE A RURAL POPULATION OF APPROXIMATELY 113,000.

Staff has also given testimony at local, state, and federal levels related to our service area's health, education and economic issues. EMRMC has an open medical staff comprised of primary care, specialists and subspecialists. Physician recruitment is based upon community need with approval from the governing board. The EMRMC and EMH system boards are comprised of community members with representation from the medical staff and senior leadership and the Fort Logan Hospital Board. The governing board approved the establishment and funding of the Community Service department and the funding of the health risk behavior assessment of Boyle County. They also approved the charity care policy. There is never a fee for services provided by the Community Service department. With H1N1 outbreak, the Community Service department approached churches in the six-county area with hand-washing signs, "Cover your Cough" posters and floor-stand hand sanitizers to help reduce the risk of the spread of flu within congregations and communities. Preventative care, such as flu shots, are taken to the community. So, too, are annual skin cancer checks, monthly blood pressure checks, semi-annual glucose and cholesterol checks, along with nurse consults. Such services are offered in schools, churches, and other public entities in the region, including the stockyards in Lincoln County.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 6 AFFILIATED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM ----------------------------- EMRMC is a 222 licensed bed acute care hospital serving the community for nearly a century as part of Ephraim McDowell Health (EMH).

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS ------------------------------- Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center (EMRMC) is a not-for-profit, 222-bed licensed level III trauma center dedicated to serving the health and wellness needs of the populations of Boyle, Lincoln, Mercer, Garrard, Casey and Washington Counties. EMRMC scope of services include: behavioral health, cancer care center, outpatient cancer care, cardiac care services, critical care, diabetes and endocrinology, diagnostic services, level III trauma/emergency care center, Kids Can Do pediatric therapy center, laboratory services, medical-surgical services, orthopedic/spine care, pastoral care, pain management center, pulmonology, rehabilitation, respiratory therapy, surgical services, vascular services, volunteer/auxiliary, womens health services and wound healing center. Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center for Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 experienced 7,428 admissions including nursery, and 34,602 patient days for all services including nursery, but excluding observation days. Observation patient days for FY 2016 totaled 3,191. Outpatient registrations (including ER visits) was 137,481 compared to 131,208 in FY 2015. Surgical procedures at EMRMC were 4,409 in FY 2016 as compared to 4,521 in FY 2015, reflecting a decline in procedures. The ambulatory surgical center procedures in FY 2016 were 6,819 verses 6,564 in FY 2015. Expanded service modalities were added to increase access to care needed for the elderly, frail, or those with cancer (all high volume populations within the six counties) to receive care close to home. Key additions included the following: - Radiofrequency- We continue to provide targeted Vertebral Augmentation for the treatment of spine fractures (also known as vertebral compression fractures) as commonly seen in osteoporosis. Kentucky has one of the highest rates of citizens over the age of 65, and age is a risk factor for spinal fractures. - Cancer is the number two cause of death in the service area; therefore we continue to provide targeted-Radiofrequency Ablation (t-RFA) therapy for rapid pain relief from metastatic spinal tumors as a treatment option for cancer care. Community Health Education General ------------------------------------ Cancer Education - Over 600 individuals participated in skin cancer awareness events at Inter County Energy; 350 each at Lincoln and Boyle County Relay for Life events. Approximately 1,000 regional 4-H campers received sun screen, lip balm and sun safety education. Additionally, various sports groups received sun safety products and education. EPA sun safety literature, sun screen and lip balm with sun screen was distributed to re-enforce the message of sun safety. In total, two thousand nine hundred and twenty-five individuals received sun safety items distributed at fifteen sites. All funded by Ephraim McDowell Health Care Foundation (EMHCF). CPR/First Aid - A total of 20 community members from the service area, spanning in age from teens to senior citizens, were trained in CPR/first aid at no cost to the individuals or host organization. This service was funded by the EMHCF. This is down 5 individuals from FY 2015. Due to loss the loss of a community CPR instructor, numbers served continue to drop. Education Website/Community Publication - Twelve editions of the Health Ministry/Faith Community Nursing newsletter were produced, and distributed in Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Ohio, Virginia, and North Carolina. The intent is to provide relevant and current information to the congregations related to self-care, including but not limited to intentional care of the spirit. All information can be reproduced and used for congregational information/education. Health Fairs - Services were offered at 88 events at 67 sites in Boyle, Lincoln, Garrard, Mercer, Casey, Washington, and Madison Counties with focus on reaching at risk and vulnerable populations. Including all adult programs, 16,273 community contacts occurred (screenings, education, support groups, etc.). Thirty-eight percent of screened participants were male (a 4 percent decrease from the prior year); 62 percent were female. Ninety-three percent of clients served were Caucasian, four percent were African America (a two percent increase from the prior year), and three percent Hispanic (a one percent decline from the prior year). Fifty-seven percent of participants served by community benefit programs had a household income below $35,000 (this is a 27 percent increase). Sixteen percent of participants served were unemployed); a six percent increase in unemployment from FY 2015. Thirty-nine percent in the population served were retired, the same as in 2015. The uninsured served increased to eight percent in FY 2016 compared to 6 percent in 2015. Seventy-eight percent of participants reported a primary care provider (PCP) compared to 86 percent in 2015. A registered nurse (RN) met with each client to develop a written plan to decrease life style associated health risk behaviors. At each screening referral options were provided including Hope Clinic, reduced fee program and primary care provider (PCP) listing for the region for the uninsured participant or those without a PCP. Forty-seven percent of screening tests were abnormal (a five percent decrease over 2015) with 15 percent requiring a referral for follow-up (a 4 percent decrease from 2015). One explanation for the decrease in referrals for follow-up relates to the decrease in number of screening sites. Parish Nursing Program - Grant funding from Ephraim McDowell Health Care Foundation made possible the Faith Community Nursing educational programs. The Faith Community Nursing Foundation Course in the fall of 2016 produced six graduates. A partnership with University of Kentucky (UK) College of Nursing made possible both KBN and ANCC credits for the course participants. Faith Community Nursing (FCN) faculty provided consultation and served as faculty for the Illinois Faith Community Nurses Association in Kankakee. Faith Community Nurse Faculty also served on the Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky as the Director at large, and attended quarterly meetings as a part of the executive and by laws committee. One hundred and two participants have completed the faith community nursing foundation course since its inception at EMRMC in 2008 and serve as volunteers within their congregations. These community partners serve in 23 counties within the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina and Ohio and support persons of all denominations. Twelve health ministry newsletters were created and disseminated to health ministry partners in Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee, Virginia and North Carolina. Within the immediate service area the following volunteer Faith Community Nursing services were active: Lexington Avenue Baptist Church, St. Andrews Catholic Church, Saints Peter & Paul Catholic Church, Gethsemane Baptist Church, Indian Hills Christian Church, First Baptist Church Junction City, Perryville Baptist Church, New Salem Baptist Church, Lebanon United Methodist Church, and Centenary United Methodist Church of Danville. Actives include, but are not limited to, home visits, nursing home visits, blood pressure checks, health and wellness programs, support groups, referrals for follow-up care, organizing flu clinics, organizing health screenings, home visits, acute care visits, arranging for meal deliveries, and emergency assistance (seizures, chest pain, fainting, hypertensive crisis, etc.). Statistical analysis shows the more visits the congregant has with the FCN regarding their blood pressure the better their blood pressure control. School-Based Programs - Other childrens activities included working summer groups in coordination with Bunny Davis Day Camp, YMCA, The Salvation Army and other area agencies to provide physical activity, and educational programming for kids as part of one hour a day out-of-doors play. The Emergency Department Trauma Services joined many other Boyle County First Responders on July 23rd 2016 at the Junction City Park to teach the community about helmet safety. Fifty bicycle helmets were provided to the children that came out to learn about safety. Providing our community injury prevention education is just one piece of building a successful Trauma Program for our community and those we serve. Volunteer Services hosted thirty-six teen volunteers for the Teen Volunteer Program. The main purpose of the Teen Volunteer program is to enable teens to spend their summer volunteering and serving their community in addition to learning about the hospital. Early Heart Attack Care (EHAC) education occurred with a group being Ambassadors for EHAC. This is consistent with our goal to provide EHAC education in the community as part of our implantation plan from the 2014 CHNA. Community Service Department staff worked with the Danville School System to implement the PEP Grant r
PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS (CONT) Community Health Education - Self Help ------------------------------------- Fitness/Exercise - Two hundred attendees participated in the "Get Moving" event at Millennium Park in conjunction with the Danville School System, Community Service Department, McDowell Wellness Center and Centre college staff leading a 10,000 step challenge. One thousand participants took part in the spring "Get Moving" challenge, with six hundred completing the program. Two hundred and forty Nerf footballs with EHAC information and heart magnets were distributed at the Danville High School Football game. Tobacco/Smoking Cessation - We saw an increase in the number of individuals reporting tobacco, 106 in FY 2016 compared to 55 in FY 2015. The increase may be related to a surge of e-cigarette shops in the Boyle county area. Early research indicates that use of e-cigarettes or vapor devices do not decrease tobacco use but actually results in increased tobacco use due to the nicotine used in the devices. A statewide ordinance has been drafted by some of the agencies (FHK, SoAHEC, etc.) for consideration by the legislature during the 2016 session. Although it did not pass, this is an ongoing process. Plans have been made by the health departments and SoAHEC for e-cigarette and vapor products to be part of the both the legislative proposal and public education due to the observation of increase use of these products, especially by the youth. Stress Management - Two hundred and twelve individuals were screened using the perceived stress scale: a 31 percent increase from 2015. The decision to increase the use of the perceived stress scale relates to the increased emphasis of the role of stress in mortality and morbidity of cardiovascular patients, especially women. Three percent received a recommendation for follow-up. All received information related to stress reduction strategies. This is consistent with the 2015-2017 strategic objective related to mental health in the EMRMC implementation plan. This was an added area of focus based upon the 2014 CHNA. Community Health Education Support Groups ------------------------------------------- Alzheimers - Ten Alzheimers Support Group meetings were facilitated by an advanced practice mental health nurse practitioner. The group serves both patients and care-givers/family. Given the incidence rate of stroke and the aging of the population it is anticipated the need for this service will continue to grow in this region. This is one of the strategies to address dementia, including Alzheimers disease based upon the 2014 CHNA and implementation plan. Community-Based Clinical Services-Health Screenings --------------------------------------------------- Blood Pressure Screening - Blood pressure screenings were offered at 24 sites, serving 815 individuals. This represents a 5 percent decrease in blood pressure screening from the prior year, when 855 individuals were served. There was a seven percent increase of clients with a blood pressure reading that exceeded the recommended range by the American Heart Association (AHA): 90 percent versus 83 percent in FY 2015. Those classified as pre-hypertensive received instructions for monitoring and recording as well as dietary instructions related to low sodium diet. Those that were on medications but exceed the recommend range were instructed to share the finding with their primary care provider (PCP). Those at stroke level were transported for immediate follow-up by a physician. Blood pressure control is a major factor in cardiovascular disease risk reduction. The intense focus on blood pressure monitoring, self-care education and follow-up continues. Blood pressure screening is one of the implementation strategies related to modifiable lifestyle related cardiovascular risk factors from the 2014 CHNA implementation plan. Cancer Colorectal Screening - The Ephraim McDowell Health Care Foundation (EMHCF) funded colorectal screening at 24 sites for a total distribution 172 kits with a 44 percent return rate; a 7% decline from the 2015 return rate. Kits were distributed in six counties. Sites included churches, senior citizen centers, the wellness center, assisted living facilities, health departments, clinics, hospital lobbies, and the county extension service offices. There was a three percent referral rate for follow-up. There have been radio and newspaper public service awareness campaigns related to colorectal cancer due to Kentucky rating number one in incidence and number 3 in deaths related to colon cancer. This is one of the implementation strategies for early detection of cancer based upon the identified need in the 2014 CHNA. Cancer- Skin Screening - The Ephraim McDowell Health Care Foundation (EMHCF) funded skin cancer screening by a licensed independent practitioner (LIP) May thru July. Forty-one individuals were seen. Sixty-five percent were female; 35 percent male. Twenty-nine percent were referred to a dermatologist for biopsies. Fifty-three percent had never been screened for skin cancer. Fifty-seven percent stated on an exit survey that they would not have seen their doctor for a skin cancer screen. Ninety-three percent had a primary care provider; compared to 91 percent the prior year. Twenty-nine percent were referred to a specialist for follow-up care compared to 33 percent in FY 2015. Sun safety education begins with the school-age children and continues across the life span and has been a consistent message and focus of the community service work plan since inception in 2008. This is one of the implementation strategies for early detection/prevention of cancer based upon the identified need in the 2014 CHNA. Cholesterol Testing - Total cholesterol was measured for 763 clients in seven counties at 23 sites within health ministries and community settings with 30.5 percent of participants exceeding the recommend range as set by American Heart Association (AHA); this is a minimal decrease in total lipids exceeding range from the 31 percent in 2015. We attribute the change to the fact that one or more modifiable CVD risk factors must be present to enroll in the HRSA Outreach project due to the focus being to teach the clients how to track and improve their cardiovascular (CVD) risk profile. Within the lipid panel 47 percent of participants had one or more measure(s) outside the recommended range. Low Density Lipids being elevated was the leading cause, followed by elevated triglycerides. Effective FY 2013, with support from area pediatricians, the department began offering lipid screening for children age 12 and above, if accompanied by a parent. We have not seen a statistically significant number of participants in the pediatric age range. Lipid panel screening is one of the implementation strategies related to modifiable lifestyle related cardiovascular risk factors from the implementation plan based on the 2014 CHNA. This is part of both the stroke risk and myocardial risk reeducation strategy. Derma Scan for Sun Damage - EMHCF funded the purchase of the DermaView equipment for screening for sun damage in the region due to the increase in skin cancer and the agrarian lifestyle in the region. Only 111 individuals compared to 160 in FY 2015 were screened for sun damage. This was due to a decrease in staffing resulting in a need to prioritize screening for stroke and heart risk. Ninety-seven percent of participants were referred to their primary care provider for follow-up care compared to 55 percent in FY 2015. This is one of the implementation strategies for education, prevention and early detection of cancer based upon the identified need in the 2014 CHNA. Diabetes Screening - Blood glucose testing was conducted on 763 participants. Twenty-one percent exceeded the recommended range as set by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) compared to 13 percent in FY 2015. This is consistent with the increase in type II diabetes nationwide with KY being one of the leading states in incidence of diabetes. No one was below the recommended range. Based upon the national incidence tread and the local tread in diabetes, A1C monitoring equipment was purchased with a grant that was submitted in FY 2015 and approved. Individuals at risk for diabetes or diagnosed with diabetes are now screened with the A1C machine as of FY 2016. Glucose testing was offered to children age 12-18, if accompanied by a custodial parent. Again the number of pediatric participants was not statistically significant. This strategy is part of CVD risk reduction implementation plan that was based on the 2014 CHNA. Nutrition/Obesity Screening - Height, weight, percent body fat, calculated body mass index (BMI) was offered at 24 sites in seven counties with 755 adult participants. Eighty-seven percent of the participants exceeded the recommend range; compared to seventy-four percent in 2015. Body Mass Index is a major contributor to CVD risk factors, some types of cancer and diabetes. This is consistent wi
PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS (CONT) Health Professions Education ---------------------------- Continuing Health Professions Education - The Director for Rehabilitation Services Department serves on Physical Therapy Health Professions Board Meeting for the Commonwealth of Kentucky. This board meets monthly for two hours at an estimated organizational cost of $1,680. Issues of the profession were addressed including educational requirements, licensure, reimbursement, scope of service and professional practice standards. Interns, Residents and Fellows - Fiscal year 2016 there were neither interns nor Fellows at EMRMC. There were nine Emergency Service Residents from University of Kentucky. Medical Students - Four medical students rotated through emergency services, anesthesia, and family medicine with EMRMC medical staff mentors. Students were from University of Kentucky, University of Louisville, Lincoln Memorial University, Eastern Kentucky University, and Walden University. Twelve physician assistant (PA) students rotated through emergency and surgical services with a mentor. Affiliated programs included the University of Kentucky. Twenty -four advanced practice nurses (APRNs) rotated through emergency services or primary care clinics in FY 2016 with a LIP mentor. This represents a 34 percent increase in the number of NP or APRN students. Schools included: University of Kentucky, Walden University, Indiana Wesleyan University, and Eastern Kentucky University. Nursing - Five hundred and seventy seven nursing students completed their clinical experience and/or practicum at EMRMC in FY 2016. Educational partners included Campbellsville University, Eastern Kentucky University, Midway College, St. Catherines College, Bluegrass Community & Technical College, Beckfield College, and Berea College. This represents a 62 percent increase in nursing students, LPN, AD, and BSN. Other Allied Health Professions - The Certified Nursing Assistant Course had 17 students enrolled in 2016 compared to 25 in 2015 (32% decrease). This is similar to the decline seen in nursing student enrollment. EMRMC served as a clinical site for students from multiple disciplines from the following institutions: Bluegrass Community & Technical College Lexington and Somerset, Eastern Kentucky University, University of Kentucky, Midway University, Campbellsville University, Berea College, and Beckfield College. There was a decline in the number of allied health students in the following areas: sonography, dietetic, CT, and certified pharmacy technician students. There was a 110 percent increase in the number of pharmacy students. Two hundred forty five area students had a job shadowing experience in 45 different areas of EMRMC in FY 2016. This reflects a sixty-nine percent increase in the number of students job shadowing within the organization. RESEARCH -------- Community Health Research - The data collection phase of the HRSA Outreach Grant ended in FY 2015, but an extension of service was granted for follow-up client care due to left over funds from responsible stewardship efforts. Six hundred ninety eight follow-up RN telephone calls were made to clients with cardiovascular risk that participated in the research grant. This follow up concluded in April of 2016. HRSA Outreach Grant: Healthy People: Healthy Communities targeted cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor reduction in an austere rural population. Lincoln, Garrard, Mercer and Boyle County Health Departments and Boyle County Extension Office collaborate with EMRMC on this grant. The intended scope of the project was to reach 400 individuals for participation in the grant project with RN follow up and coaching. The goal was exceeded. Screening included cholesterol (either total or lipid panel), glucose (either fasting or non-fasting), body mass index, blood pressure, pulse check for atrial fibrillation, family history of stroke, tobacco use, and activity level. Results of testing were recorded on the Stroke Risk Scorecard. A copy of all information was given to the participant. The Healthy People: Healthy Communities study had institutional review board approval. Enrollment for the study opened in September 1, 2012. The IRB was updated annually with renewal of the approval to continue the project. There were no untoward events during the 3 year project. In FY 2015 there were 2,739 contacts made with those enrolled in the Healthy People: Healthy Communities research program by the RN case managers. The monthly contacts were designed to assist in removing barriers to making the necessary life style changes required for reduction of cardiovascular risk factor related behaviors. The program was evaluated by client feedback at each screening and at the close of the project plus an outside reviewer for the biometrics/outcomes component of the study. Georgia State University provided a return on investment analytic tool. The estimated 5 year ROI for the multi-county area for health care cost avoidance was $9,612,170.06. The estimated 5 year ROI increase in economic productivity for the multi-county area was $7,985,495.12 with a total return on investment of $34.19 per dollar spent. Data analysis revealed women had a worse risk factor profile than men, this was noteworthy and further study is needed. The one factor that did change over time was an increase in HDL, which is heart protective. There was a tread toward the lowering of other risk factors, but not at a statically significant level. Further recommendations include a stronger intervention and a longer follow-up period, potentially 5 years. Financial Donations for the Community In Kind ----------------------------------------------- Personnel/Administrative Support - A staff member serves on the Boyle County 4-H Counsel. Community Service staff participate in both the Boyle and Lincoln Counties Integrated School Health Committees. This all volunteer group works to improve the School Health Index issues that have community impact. Staff also served on the Danville PEP grant implementation team. An advanced practice nurse serves on the Mercer County Health Department Board. A staff member serves on the Foundation for Healthy Kentucky Board and subcommittees. A staff member serves on the governing board for Christian Care Communities, addressing affordable, safe housing for the elderly in the commonwealth across the health care spectrum from independent living to skilled care. The rehabilitation services director serves on the Physical Therapy Board. A staff member from Foundations serves on the Rotary Board. This civic group works on both local and international projects to improve community life. A Community Service staff member serves on the board of Area Health Education Center (AHEC). Southern AHEC has focused on the education of rural health care providers. Programs include career days for high school students in the region, Health Career Camps for high school students for exposure to potential careers and mentors, continuing education programs for health career providers, clinical rotation placement (including housing, if needed) for health care shortage providers and areas. Community Building Activities ----------------------------- Coalition Building - Heroin overdose and deaths in the service area have increased at an alarming rate. A mental health professional from the Centre College has put together a broad community coalition to address the many faucets of this public health issue. The emergency department nursing and medical directors have worked with this group. Community Service staff served in two statewide planning sessions with District 4-H leaders related to the annual Kentucky youth leadership conference. There were a total of 75 community members involved in the conference planning process. Community Health Improvement Advocacy - Community Service staff served on the board of the Foundation for Healthy Kentucky (FHK) and served on the executive, finance and ambassador committees in addition to their board membership advocating for improved access to care, better built environment and improved nutrition. FHK endowed chairs at the University of Kentucky and University of Louisville to focus on public health issues in rural Kentucky. Community Service staff served on the governance, and workforce committees for Christian Care Communities Board advocating for safe housing and care for the elderly. Community Service staff supported the education of health care professionals by serving on the board of the Southern Area Health Education Council assisting with the draft of smoke free Kentucky legislation. Community Service staff served as community faculty for University of Kentucky with participation in community research, education and performance improvement. Community Service staff served on the board of the Mercer County Health Department. Rehabilitation Services staff served on the Physical Therapy Board and participated at the Legislative Day in Frankfort to address rehabil
PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS (CONT) Community Benefit Operations ---------------------------- Community Health Needs Assessment - Professional Research Consultants of Omaha, Nebraska was engaged to conduct a scientifically valid six county CHNA for the system, including EMRMC, at a cost of $84,537. The confidence level is 95 percent for a sample of 1,000 area residents. A community focus group was convened for input from key informants from the six counties, with finding included in the report. The results were made available to the governing board in hard copy along with a summary presentation and implementation plan for 2015-2017. Once reviewed by the board, the report and implementation plan were posted on the website for public access. Select sharing was done upon request by community organizations and Centre College students. Dedicated Staff - There was a dedicated staff of two full time, two part time individuals and flex RNs and Technicians that work as needed within the community service department and are funded by the health system. The staff was comprised of a childrens program coordinator, faith community nursing coordinator, a part-time community benefit coordinator and a part time project coordinator all reporting to System Director, Nursing Administration, Regulatory Compliance, Associate Education, and Community Services. Total salary expense for dedicated community benefit staff was $208,474 for FY 2016; with the decrease reflecting the reduction in hours within the department. Community Services total expense was $238,361. There was a part time nurse practitioner and office manager for the Hope Clinic. Salary expenses were $7,477 for FY 2016. The reporting structure is that all department functions report to the system director, share space and resources. The system director then reports to the Ephraim McDowell Health System CNO/COO who reports to the governing board with the annual work plan and budget approved by the governing board. In FY 2014, the new Community Health Needs Assessment and implementation plan were presented to the governing board for approval. FY 2016 there was no revisions of the implementation plan requiring board action, just approval of the budget. EMRMC staff volunteered in area churches and Childrens ministry programs within the service area that focused on spiritual development and well-being, approximately 850 children were served. Other services include volunteer faith community nurses serving within many of the local congregations. The result being blood pressure screening, coordination of care, referrals, and education related to health risk, medications, mental health, stroke risk education, and other issues. Others served in music ministry, visitation, or church based committees. Many served in youth sport leagues as volunteers, either coaching or raising funds. Others volunteered with the school system serving as room sponsors, boosters, PTA officers, mentoring students, or other needed functions. EMRMC Associates volunteered at the local festivals including, but not limited to: Octoberfest on Main, Kentucky State BBQ Festival, Great American Band Festival, Apple Festival in Casey County , Beef Festival in Mercer County , Party on the Square in Garrard County, Forkland Heritage Festival and Revue, Battle of Perryville Commemoration, Cruise, Blues & Bar-B-Que, and Railroad Days. These hours were not paid hours, therefore not included in the community benefit calculations. Nevertheless, this investment of time and labor contributed significantly to the quality of life in the region impacting physical, mental, and economic well-being of the populace of the six county service areas. Deferred needs from the CHNA of Boyle and the surrounding counties based upon resources and/or expertise included the following: Arthritis/rheumatism is an issue. This links to the high obesity rate and the lack of a built environment that facilitates mobility. This issue is deferred by EMRMC due to resources but the factors to decrease cardiovascular (CV) risks will assist with mobility, i.e. weight reduction, improved nutrition, decreased inflammatory markers, etc. Both Lincoln and Garrard County Health Departments offer a self-help program for managing arthritis. Lincoln County has plans to expand the offering. The McDowell Wellness Center offers pool exercises for those with arthritis and silver sneakers as options to assist in managing both mobility and pain. There is a rheumatologist at the specialty clinic in Boyle County. The closest arthritis support group is in Lexington, Kentucky. Osteoporosis is addressed as a nutritional issue. This links with the high consumption of carbonated beverages and poor nutrition in the region. This is being deferred due to resources but is part of the farm to school dialogue in the school coalitions. Migraine headaches are treated by primary care physicians and referred as needed. A neurologist has been recruited to make access for evaluation and specialty care easier to access and closer to home. Twenty-five percent of the population suffers from chronic back pain or sciatica. There are pain centers in Boyle County. Chiropractic and physical therapy services are available in all six counties. Obesity, inactivity, and a diet high in fat and calories compound the issues related to arthritis, back and sciatica pain. Addiction to pain-killers and other drugs is an issue in the state and region. Addiction services are offered by private providers, Comprehensive Care, and Self-Refined in the region. EMRMC behavioral medicine unit does treat dual diagnosis patients and the psychiatrists and counselors treat out patients. There is an active Alcoholics Anonymous chapter. Celebrate Recovery is offered at various sites in the service area. Due to lack of expertise and resources, addiction will be deferred as part of the work plan by EMRMC. Chronic kidney disease and end stage renal failure links to diabetes. Moderate exercise, a healthier diet, and weight reduction can prevent the development of type 2 diabetes in persons at risk (Diabetes Prevention Program funded by NIH). The free screenings will provide early detection and possibly prevention when addressing nutrition, body mass index and exercise. The health departments collaborate with the kidney foundation to conduct screening and education related to kidney health. Disabilities and activity limitations correlates with the poverty of resources. Those with a disability report not getting preventative care, i.e., annual dental visit, mammogram, pap smear, additional findings include lifestyle issues, such as use of tobacco and inactive lifestyles, health issues such as obesity, high blood pressure, high stress and poor mental health, lower employment rates, lower income, and less social support. This area will be deferred, but the work with school age children related to diet, activity, and self-esteem has preventative value (DPP). The screening for obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, tobacco use, high cholesterol and the risk factor reduction education for adults provides early detection and can be preventative. For those individuals with one of the chronic diseases the RN consult can improve self-care health management. Dementia links to CV health and stroke incidence and vascular issues. It also links to the aging of the population in the region. There is an Alzheimers support group in Boyle and Mercer Counties. Also, mental evaluation and medication management is available by a psychiatrist at the medical center. James B. Haggin Hospital offers adult day care that serves some clients. Danville Health & Rehabilitation Center has an Alzheimer long term care unit. The Sanders Brown Center at the University of Kentucky has on-going Alzheimers related research and serves as a referral center for the region. Births to teenagers and unwed mothers, and low birth-weight births are being addressed by the health departments and the school health collations. The Lincoln County Health Department has a 5-year grant to address self-esteem and character building in 6th grade through middle school. The Lincoln and Boyle County school nurses and Community Service staff conduct the Perkins Assessment in middle school through high school as part of the effort to help youth make fewer high risk behavior choices. Both school systems have contracts with the University of Kentucky for the services of an adolescent medicine specialist for on-site services. The Haven Care Center provides pregnancy resources and supports all six counties. Fair/poor mental health and major depression was cited by the county residents as a major issue. The health system does have mental health providers on their recruitment plan. Community Service does conduct depression screening for adults and refer if needed. For children in middle school and high school the Community Service department works with the school nurses to conduct the Perkins Assessment in the schools systems with a psychiatri
