The group reports board designated funds of approximately $57,316,000 in unrestricted net assets as of August 31, 2016. These amounts were not included in Part V so that the Endowment funds match the financial statements. The Group also has temporarily restricted assets generated from endowment funds of approximately $57,316,045 as of August 31, 2016. In accordance with SFAS 117 (ASC 958) these amounts are not considered endowments and have not been included in Part V. The 4 prior years are the combined Group members' endowment information.
Collections of Art	Due to immateriality there is no separate footnote in the financial statements regarding SFAS 116 (ASC 958) contributed art. Northwestern memorial Hospital maintains artwork that is on public display. The arts program was developed in response to research that demonstrates the healing value of representational art depicting natural landscapes and positive human interactions. Our art collection provides comfort, evokes positive emotions and can help promote healing for our patients. The hospital also maintains historical items that relate to care such as historical medical instruments and nursing uniforms.

Form and Line Reference	Explanation
1. Northwestern Memorial Hospital (NMH)	Sch H Part V section B ques 3j: The CHNA report also describes Northwestern Memorial Hospitals CHNA goals and objectives, public dissemination plan, and development of the Implementation Plan.
Sch H Part V section B ques 5:	To solicit input from key informants, defined as those individuals who have a broad interest in the health of the community, an Online Key Informant Survey was conducted as part of the CHNA process. A list of recommended participants was compiled by NMH and the Metropolitan Chicago Healthcare Council; this list included names and contact information for individuals including physicians, public health representatives, other healthcare professionals, social service providers, and a variety of other community leaders. Potential participants were chosen because of their ability to identify primary concerns of the population with whom they work, as well as of the community overall. Key informants were contacted by email, introducing the purpose of the survey and providing a link to take the survey online. Reminder emails were sent as needed to increase participation. In all, 37 community stakeholders took part in the Online Key Informant Survey including ten Public Health Experts, eight Community Leaders, eight Other Healthcare Providers, seven Social Service Representatives and four Physicians. Final participation included representatives from the following organizations: 1. A Safe Haven Foundation 2. Austin Childcare Providers Network 3. Chicago Department of Public Health 4. Chicago Family Health Center 5. Enlace Chicago 6. Governors State University Department of Health Administration 7. Grand Prairie Services 8. Illinois Department of Public Health, Bellwood Office 9.

Southland Ministerial Health Network 17. St. Joseph Services 18. Swedish Covenant Hospital 19. United Way of Metropolitan Chicago 20. West Humboldt Park Development Council Through this process, input was gathered from several individuals whose organizations work with low-income, minority populations, or other medically underserved populations. In the online survey, key informants were asked to rate the degree to which various health issues are a problem in their own community. Follow-up questions asked them to describe why they identify problem areas as such and how these might be better addressed. Results of their ratings, as well as their verbatim comments, are included in NMHs CHNA Report. Findings represent qualitative rather than quantitative data. The Online Key Informant Survey was designed to gather input from participants regarding their opinions and perceptions of the health of the residents in the area. Therefore, these findings are based on perceptions, not facts. To ensure that organizations impacting health in Chicago were meaningfully engaged in reviewing and interpreting the findings of the CHNA, developing priorities among the identified needs and forming a collaborative plan to address the top priority needs, the External Steering Committee (ESC) was established and maintained. Members include representatives from: 1. Alliance for Research in Chicagoland Communities 2. Chicago Department of Public Health 3. CommunityHealth 4. Consortium to Lower Obesity in Chicago Children 5. Erie Family Health Center 6. Health and Disability Advocates 7. Kelly Hall YMCA 8. Logan Square Neighborhood Association 9.

Sch H part V section B ques 7d:	In addition to providing the CHNA report on the website and making it available to the public upon request, the CHNA report was also distributed to the following groups: 1. Key community organizations 2. NMH External Steering Committee 3. Northwestern University Institute of Public Health 4. Northwestern Memorial Hospital Leadership Hospital facilitys website (list url): https://www.nm.org/about-us/community-initiatives/community-health-needs-a ssessment
Sch H Part V Section B ques 11:	Through the prioritization process, NMH identified four Priority Health Needs: Access to Healthcare Services, Chronic Disease, Injury and Violence Prevention, and Mental Health. NMH identified health needs that would be best addressed through a coordinated response from a range of healthcare and community resources. Specific ways in which NMH is addressing the significant needs identified in its most recently conducted CHNA are defined as follows: Access to Healthcare Services: NMH aims to improve access to quality, culturally appropriate healthcare services among underserved populations in the NMH service area. Efforts include improved alignment of current NMH care coordination programs; IT solutions to improve care coordination for Medicaid patients through the Emergency Department; continued innovation and process improvement to reduce barriers (such as office hours) relating to access to care for medically underserved populations; and collaboration with external workgroups and agencies to support efforts that increase access to care. In addition to these strategies, NMH continues core work to strengthen and increase patient affiliation with high-quality patient-centered medical homes and improve models for patient care coordination for delivering care at the appropriate time and place. Having an established medical home is critical to both maintaining good health and effectively accessing the broader healthcare system. NMH has longstanding affiliations with two of Chicagos Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs): Near North Health Service Corporation (Near North) and Erie Family Health Center (Erie). Through these affiliations, community residents in need and the homeless have access to care and support services so they can receive necessary healthcare in their own communities and access to hospital-based services at NMH. In response to the need to help patients access a consistent medical home following emergency visits, NMH developed and maintains the Northwestern Follow-up Clinic (NFC). The NFC is designed to provide a bridge between emergency room care and access to ongoing care with a permanent medical home. The NFC has grown into the largest touch point for transitional care medicine in NMHC. The NFC often transitions patients to Near North or Erie as a medical home; as such, patients are able to continue to receive care at NMH for medically necessary diagnostic, specialty and inpatient care. Chronic Disease (Diabetes, Heart Disease, Stroke, Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Weight): NMH partners with area hospitals and community-based organizations to reduce the rate of heart disease, diabetes, and obesity through increased access to care and education interventions. Efforts include continued support and expansion of diagnostic and specialty care services related to stroke; continued support of community health partners efforts to reduce the rate of heart disease, diabetes, and obesity; continued support and expansion of the Healthy Community Initiative; and collaboration with external workgroups and agencies to support efforts that impact chronic disease prevention. NMH has worked to improve coordination of care for heart disease and stroke through strengthened high quality, patient-centered medical homes. Programs such as the Keep Your Heart Healthy initiative were designed to identify Chicago residents most at risk for developing heart disease and work on an individual basis to empower those individuals to make lifestyle changes to reduce their health risks. The program links individuals with healthcare services and medical homes through referrals in an effort to control health risk factors. NMH also collaborated with community partners to create a neighborhood-specific program called the Humboldt Park Healthy Community Initiative. This initiative is tailored to improve the health of the residents of Humboldt Park based on the specific needs and challenges of the community, which include limited health literacy, violence, cultural beliefs and language barriers. The model was grounded in improved access to health information as well as safe, convenient and affordable options for learning about nutrition and engaging in physical activity in an effort to impact chronic disease. NMH continues to be a trusted source for health education and works to increase awareness, provide educational tools and encourage healthy lifestyle choices. Injury and Violence: NMH aims to identify and implement best practices for addressing violence in collaboration with community-based organizations. Efforts include continued utilization of effective models for ensuring victims of violent trauma have clinic and mental health support following emergency department (ED) or inpatient care; participation in community-led efforts to address violence; and collaboration with external workgroups and agencies to support efforts that impact violence prevention. While healthcare organizations have long treated victims of violent trauma in emergency departments and have participated in anti-violence advocacy and policy initiatives, they have largely considered addressing the rate of violence in their communities as being outside of their role. However, it is now recognized that the best approach to healing communities blighted by violence is to undertake a comprehensive, tailored, evidence-based system of preventions and interventions that is both informed by and fully utilizes organized, committed and trusted community members. In 2014, leaders from NMHC joined with Bright Star Community Outreach (BSCO) and other healthcare leaders and community partners to support the launching of a community-based effort to reduce the rate of violence in the Bronzeville neighborhood on the South side of Chicago. The Urban Resilience Network (TURN) (formerly known as the Bronzeville Dream Center) offers a bridge to mental health services and focuses on the five core competencies of counseling, workforce, parenting, mentorship and advocacy, which collectively focus on reducing violence and providing opportunities to the residents of Greater Bronzeville. TURN utilizes local faith leaders to implement evidence-based programs based on the NATAL-Israel Trauma model and the Communities that Care (CTC) model. NMHC has played an active role in supporting development of TURN, including funding, leadership, convening members of the community, establishing governance and operational structures and supporting fundraising and grant applications. NMHC will continue to dedicate funding, public health and mental health resources, provide administrative support and help to plan for the delivery of mental health services. In addition to participating in the violence reduction effort in Bronzeville, NMH continues to partner with Cure Violence, previously known as CeaseFire, an organization founded in Chicago to reduce retaliatory actions following violent trauma. As one of only four Level I trauma centers in Chicago, NMH provides care to hundreds of Chicago residents with violence-related traumatic injuries each year. NMH pays an annual fee to Cure Violence and integrates its intervention services into the treatment protocol for appropriate violent trauma cases. Trained "violence interrupters" at NMH meet with violent trauma victims and their families and attempt to defuse feelings of anger as well as discourage victims and their families from retaliating. The violence interrupters work in tandem with violence interrupters in the victims home community. Mental Health: In support of national and local mental health service objectives, NMH will provide leadership, invest resources and work collaboratively with community partners to address mental health needs and increase access to culturally competent mental health services for underserved populations in the City of Chicago. Efforts include implementation of behavioral healthcare services within the primary care setting; feasibility evaluation of co-locating primary care and mental health services within the outpatient psychiatry clinic to increase alignment with best practices in mental health care; increased access to mental health services such as counseling and education programs; advocacy for adequate mental health services and reimbursement; and collaboration with external workgroups and agencies to support efforts that impact violence prevention. NMH provides needed mental health and co-occurring substance abuse services for all patients, regardless of medical insurance payor. This amount excludes the unreimbursed cost of charity care and government sponsored healthcare. Notwithstanding incurring significant operating losses in these programs, NMH supports a range of services for those suffering from mental illness and for those with a dual diagnosis of mental illness and substance abuse, a common co-diagnosis. In addition to providing inpatient care and offering individual and group outpatient therapies, NMH operates a 24-hou
Sch H Part V section B Ques 13H:	Other variables used to determine amounts charged to patients include: family size, extenuating circumstances and medically necessary services Sch H Part V section B Ques 15e: 09/01/15 01/31/16 The Financial Counseling Department is responsible for assisting patients applying for Free or Discounted Care prior to or during the course of treatment. The billing inquiry unit and the self-pay follow-up unit assist patients after services have been provided. Applications for Free Care and Discounted Care under $2,000 may be taken over the phone by these units. The determination as to whether the patient meets the established criteria for NMHCs Free and Discounted Care Program ("Program") should be made as early as possible. (For non-emergency services, NMHC considers it preferable to make such a determination before or at the time of service.) Unless eligibility has been previously determined, the patient or guarantor is required to complete an Application for NMHC Financial Assistance Program ("Application") and supporting documentation, which provides information about the applicant's financial position and any other information which may be helpful in making a determination of eligibility for the Program. In those instances where a patient or guarantor does not provide to NMHC an Application or other evidence of eligibility, NMHC (or its collection agent), at its discretion, may assess a patient's Free or Discounted Care eligibility by means other than a completed Application. In such instances, eligibility determinations may include the use of information provided by credit reporting agencies, public records, or other objective and reasonably accurate means of assessing a patient's or responsible partys Program eligibility. While NMHC will make efforts to assess eligibility prior to billing and collection, this may be impractical and therefore Program eligibility may be determined after billing and collection efforts have been initiated. The Financial Assistance application described the primary and supplementary information required of an individual to provide as part of his or her application. This was documented on the 'Financial Assistance Required Supporting Documents' page included with the Financial Assistance application. Contact information of hospital facility staff who can provide an individual with information about the Financial Assistance Policy and application process was also provided. 02/01/16 08/31/16 NMHCs Financial Counseling Department is responsible for assisting Applicants applying for Financial Assistance prior to or during the course of treatment. Areas within NMHC handling billing inquiry, customer service, and self-pay follow-up shall assist Applicants after services have been provided. The determination of an Applicants eligibility for Financial Assistance should be made as early as possible. In cases where the Patient is seeking services other than Emergency Services, determination shall be made prior to the scheduling and/or rendering of services, whenever possible. Pursuant to the Illinois Fair Patient Billing Act, Patients shall be instructed to apply for Financial Assistance within sixty (60) days after discharge or the receipt of outpatient care, whichever is longer, and NMHC shall not send bills to Uninsured Patients until such sixty (60) day period has passed. While NMHC may bill Patients after the sixty (60) day period, it shall, nevertheless, process Applications received at any time during the Application Period. Unless eligibility has been previously determined or unless otherwise provided within this policy, the Patient or Guarantor is required to complete an Application for Financial Assistance and provide supporting documentation, which provides, in accordance with law, information about the Applicants financial position (including, as applicable, information about the Applicants family) and other information which is necessary in making a determination of eligibility for Financial Assistance. The Application shall be available on a form provided by NMHC and consistent with the provisions of the Illinois Hospital Uninsured Patient Discount Act and other applicable law. Unless otherwise provided herein or in an appendix, Applications will only be accepted from individuals who have had a previously existing relationship with NMHC during the last 12 months or an upcoming appointment or admission. Patients shall complete one (1) Application which shall be recognized by all NMHC Affiliates. NMHC (or its agent), at its discretion, may assess a Patients or Guarantors Financial Assistance eligibility by means other than a completed Application. In such instances, eligibility determinations may include the use of information provided by credit reporting agencies, public records, or other objective and reasonably accurate means of assessing a Patients or Guarantors Program eligibility. The Financial Assistance application described the primary and supplementary information required of an individual to provide as part of his or her application. This was documented on the 'Financial Assistance Required Supporting Documents' page included with the Financial Assistance application. Contact information of hospital facility staff who can provide an individual with information about the Financial Assistance Policy and application process was also provided.
SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUES 16A, 16B, 16C:	https://www.nm.org/patients-and-visitors/billing-and-insurance/financial-a ssistance sch H Part V section B Ques 22: The maximum amount that can be charged to FAP-eligible individuals is dependent upon their household income level and family size, and is always less than the calculated amounts generally billed. Emergency or other medically necessary care for individuals with household income up to 200% of the published federal poverty income levels (FPL) is provided at no charge. Care for individuals with family income from 201% to 600% of the FPL is charged at the approximate cost of the care provided, with the cost calculation based on the annual filed Medicare Cost Report. In addition, the FAP for NMHC has provisions to address catastrophic care situations. Payments under the NMHC FAP shall not exceed 21% of the patient's annual household income, for patients under 600% of FPL, and shall not exceed 35% of the patient's household income for qualifying patients above 600% of FPL.

LFH Leadership Hospital facilitys website (list url): https://www.nm.org/about-us/community-initiatives/community-health-needs-a ssessment
Sch H Part V Section B ques 11:	LFH, the External Steering Committee (ESC), and key community partners collaborated to address the following priority health needs. Access to Healthcare Services: LFHs goal is to improve access to quality, culturally appropriate healthcare services among underserved populations in LFHs Service Area. Efforts include continued innovation and process improvement to reduce barriers to accessing care (including specialty care and diagnostic services) for medically underserved populations; increased access to vaccines for school-aged youth; and collaboration with other Lake County-focused workgroups and agencies to support efforts that increase access to healthcare. Through charity care policies, outreach services and health education programs, LFH improves access to healthcare services and responds to the priority health needs of the residents of Lake County, especially among the uninsured or underinsured. Staff at LFH also work closely with the Lake County Health Department to increase access initiatives through the Live Well Lake County Steering Committee. These efforts included increased access to health education at appropriate health literacy levels and increased understanding of health insurance options available through the Affordable Care Act. LFH continues to provide medically necessary care, regardless of the patients ability to pay. Heart Disease and Stroke: LFHs goal is to reduce the rate of heart disease and stroke through increased access to care and education interventions among underserved populations in LFHs Service Area. Efforts include continued support and expansion of diagnostic and specialty care services related to stroke; increased coordination of hospital community education efforts; and collaboration with other Lake County-focused workgroups and agencies to support efforts that impact heart disease and stroke. Within LFHs Service Area, 7.9 percent of adults report suffering from, or having been diagnosed with, heart disease. More than 78 percent report one or more cardiovascular risk factors such as being overweight, smoking cigarettes, being physically inactive or having high blood pressure or cholesterol. LFH is a trusted source for heart health education and provides community programs that increase awareness and education and offers screenings for hypertension and related health conditions. In fiscal year 2016, a strategic plan was developed to increase awareness of low sodium food and drink options and to "make the healthy choice the easy choice" by teaching about healthy options that are full of flavor and low in cost. LFH also collaborates with the Lake County Health Department on a number of initiatives to improve the health of residents including the Live Well Lake County Steering Committee. Mental Health and Substance Abuse: In support of national and local mental health service objectives, LFH will provide leadership, invest resources and work collaboratively with community partners to address mental health needs and increase access to culturally competent mental health services for underserved populations within its Service Area. Efforts include the implementation of behavioral healthcare services within the primary care settings; advocacy for adequate mental health services and reimbursement; and collaboration with other Lake County-focused workgroups and agencies to support efforts that impact mental health. In 2012, a suicide cluster in Lake County prompted the formation of the Lake County Suicide Prevention Task Force, which developed a model to help prevent teen suicides. The replicable model was informed by child psychiatry experts from Northwestern Universitys Feinberg School of Medicine and includes components of community awareness, assessment and careening, linked to best-known interventions and implementation strategies. LFH and NMHC staff participated in efforts to expand suicide prevention programs and continue to serve on the task force, now known as the Community Wellness Task Force. LFH staff members also participate on the Lake County Health Department Behavioral Health Action Team. After conducting a behavioral health needs assessment, this team developed a strategic plan with four action areas including provider workforce, coordination/continuum of care, access and awareness. Within the action areas, 13 strategies were identified for implementation and LFH experts serve as members of the action team to address these strategies. To meet the needs of the community, LFHs medical staff has added a physician specializing in psychiatry as well as a clinically licensed social worker. These additions significantly expanded access to psychiatry and behavioral health services in Lake County. The CHNA report identified areas of opportunity for health improvement for which LFH and its ESC determined it would not prepare an implementation plan and strategy. These areas of opportunity and the reasons for not addressing are below. Cancer: LFH provides clinical services to treat and screen for cancer. LFH will continue to sustain these services and work to strengthen community-based outreach. The ESC recommended focusing efforts on other health conditions for which LFH could have a greater impact Diabetes: LFH provides clinical services to treat diabetes. As part of the Heart Disease and Stroke Strategy, LFH will work to increase access to healthy lifestyle activities and education programs which will also impact diabetes. Immunization and Infectious Disease: LFH provides clinical services to treat pneumonia and Hepatitis B. As part of the Access to Healthcare Services strategy, LFH will work to increase access to vaccines for school-aged youth. Injury and Violence: The ESC recommended focusing efforts on other health conditions for which LFH could have a greater impact. Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Weight: As part of the Heart Disease and Stroke strategy, LFH will work to increase access to healthy lifestyle activities and education programs which will also impact this area of opportunity. Potentially Disabling conditions: The ESC recommended focusing efforts on other health conditions for which LFH could have a greater impact. Tobacco Use: LFH supports public policies aimed at reducing tobacco use. The ESC recommended focusing efforts on other health conditions for which LFH could have a greater impact. Many health organizations in Lake County were identified as providers of services to treat these health needs (see CHNA Report).
Sch H Part V section B Ques 13h:	Other variables used to determine amounts charged to patients include: family size, extenuating circumstances and medically necessary services Sch H Part V section B Ques 15e: 09/01/15 01/31/16 The Financial Counseling Department is responsible for assisting patients applying for Free or Discounted Care prior to or during the course of treatment. The billing inquiry unit and the self-pay follow-up unit assist patients after services have been provided. Applications for Free Care and Discounted Care under $2,000 may be taken over the phone by these units. The determination as to whether the patient meets the established criteria for NMHCs Free and Discounted Care Program ("Program") should be made as early as possible. (For non-emergency services, NMHC considers it preferable to make such a determination before or at the time of service.) Unless eligibility has been previously determined, the patient or guarantor is required to complete an Application for NMHC Financial Assistance Program ("Application") and supporting documentation, which provides information about the applicant's financial position and any other information which may be helpful in making a determination of eligibility for the Program. In those instances where a patient or guarantor does not provide to NMHC an Application or other evidence of eligibility, NMHC (or its collection agent), at its discretion, may assess a patient's Free or Discounted Care eligibility by means other than a completed Application. In such instances, eligibility determinations may include the use of information provided by credit reporting agencies, public records, or other objective and reasonably accurate means of assessing a patient's or responsible partys Program eligibility. While NMHC will make efforts to assess eligibility prior to billing and collection, this may be impractical and therefore Program eligibility may be determined after billing and collection efforts have been initiated. The Financial Assistance application described the primary and supplementary information required of an individual to provide as part of his or her application. This was documented on the 'Financial Assistance Required Supporting Documents' page included with the Financial Assistance application. Contact information of hospital facility staff who can provide an individual with information about the Financial Assistance Policy and application process was also provided. 02/01/16 08/31/16 NMHCs Financial Counseling Department is responsible for assisting Applicants applying for Financial Assistance prior to or during the course of treatment. Areas within NMHC handling billing inquiry, customer service, and self-pay follow-up shall assist Applicants after services have been provided. The determination of an Applicants eligibility for Financial Assistance should be made as early as possible. In cases where the Patient is seeking services other than Emergency Services, determination shall be made prior to the scheduling and/or rendering of services, whenever possible. Pursuant to the Illinois Fair Patient Billing Act, Patients shall be instructed to apply for Financial Assistance within sixty (60) days after discharge or the receipt of outpatient care, whichever is longer, and NMHC shall not send bills to Uninsured Patients until such sixty (60) day period has passed. While NMHC may bill Patients after the sixty (60) day period, it shall, nevertheless, process Applications received at any time during the Application Period. Unless eligibility has been previously determined or unless otherwise provided within this policy, the Patient or Guarantor is required to complete an Application for Financial Assistance and provide supporting documentation, which provides, in accordance with law, information about the Applicants financial position (including, as applicable, information about the Applicants family) and other information which is necessary in making a determination of eligibility for Financial Assistance. The Application shall be available on a form provided by NMHC and consistent with the provisions of the Illinois Hospital Uninsured Patient Discount Act and other applicable law. Unless otherwise provided herein or in an appendix, Applications will only be accepted from individuals who have had a previously existing relationship with NMHC during the last 12 months or an upcoming appointment or admission. Patients shall complete one (1) Application which shall be recognized by all NMHC Affiliates. NMHC (or its agent), at its discretion, may assess a Patients or Guarantors Financial Assistance eligibility by means other than a completed Application. In such instances, eligibility determinations may include the use of information provided by credit reporting agencies, public records, or other objective and reasonably accurate means of assessing a Patients or Guarantors Program eligibility. The Financial Assistance application described the primary and supplementary information required of an individual to provide as part of his or her application. This was documented on the 'Financial Assistance Required Supporting Documents' page included with the Financial Assistance application.

SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUES 16A, 16B, 16C:	https://www.nm.org/patients-and-visitors/billing-and-insurance/financial-a ssistance sch H Part V section B Ques 22: The maximum amount that can be charged to FAP-eligible individuals is dependent upon their household income level and family size, and is always less than the calculated amounts generally billed. Emergency or other medically necessary care for individuals with household income up to 200% of the published federal poverty income levels (FPL) is provided at no charge. Care for individuals with family income from 201% to 600% of the FPL is charged at the approximate cost of the care provided, with the cost calculation based on the annual filed Medicare Cost Report. In addition, the FAP for NMHC has provisions to address catastrophic care situations. Payments under the NMHC FAP shall not exceed 21% of the patient's annual household income, for patients under 600% of FPL, and shall not exceed 35% of the patient's household income for qualifying patients above 600% of FPL.
3. Central Dupage Hospital (NWCDH)	Part V, Section B Question 2: Central DuPage Hospital (NWCDH) was acquired as part of NMHC's acquisition of NWCDH's parent, CDH-Delnor Health System. Fiscal and tax years for NWCDH changed as a result of this acquisition to coincide with NMHC's fiscal and tax years ending August 31. NMCDH's originally planned completion date for the CHNA assessment and report was June 30, 2016, based on having completed its prior CHNA in its tax year ending June 30, 2013. NMCDH accelerated its CHNA process upon its acquisition by NMHC, and completed its CHNA survey of the community to identify significant health needs by August 31, 2015. The final CHNA report had not yet been completed or made widely available to the public as of August 31, 2015. Sch H part V section B question 3j: The CHNA report also describes Central DuPage Hospitals CHNA goals and objectives, public dissemination plan, and the process for the development of the Implementation Plan.
Sch H Part V section B ques 5:	To solicit input from key informants, those individuals who have a broad interest in the health of the community, an Online Key Informant Survey was implemented as part of the CHNA process. A list of recommended participants was provided by NMCDH and the Metropolitan Chicago Healthcare Council; this list included names and contact information for physicians, public health representatives, other health professionals, social service providers, and a variety of other community leaders. Potential participants were chosen because of their ability to identify primary concerns of the population with whom they work, as well as of the community overall. Key informants were contacted by email, introducing the purpose of the survey and providing a link to take the survey online. Reminder emails were sent as needed to increase participation. In all, ten community stakeholders took part in the Online Key Informant Survey including representatives of the organizations below: 1. DuPage County Health Department 2. DuPage Federation on Human Services Reform 3. Elmhurst CUSD 205 4. Metropolitan Chicago Healthcare Council 5. Naperville School District 203 6. Peoples Resource Center 7. Village of Addison Through this process, input was gathered from several individuals whose organizations work with low-income, minority populations, or other medically underserved populations. In the online survey, key informants were asked to rate the degree to which various health issues are a problem in their own community. Follow-up questions asked them to describe why they identify problem areas as such and how these might be better addressed. Findings represent qualitative rather than quantitative data. The Online Key Informant Survey was designed to gather input from participants regarding their opinions and perceptions of the health of the residents in the area. Therefore, these findings are based on perceptions, not facts. To ensure that organizations impacting health in DuPage County were meaningfully engaged in reviewing and interpreting the findings of the CHNA, developing priorities among the identified needs and forming a collaborative plan to address the top priority needs, the External Steering Committee (ESC) was established and maintained. SCH H PART V SECTION B QUESTION 6B: METROPOLITAN CHICAGO HEALTHCARE COUNCIL
Sch H part V section B question 7d:	In addition to providing the CHNA report on the website and making it available to the public upon request, the CHNA report was also distributed to the following: 1. Key community organizations and leaders 2. Central DuPage Hospital External Steering Committee 3. Central DuPage Hospital Leadership Hospital facilitys website (list url): https://www.nm.org/about-us/community-initiatives/community-health-needs-a ssessment
Sch H part V section B ques 11:	In selecting priorities and initiatives to address those priorities, NMCDH considered the degree of community need for additional resources, the capacity of other agencies to meet the need and the suitability of its own expertise and resources to address the issue. NMCDH addressed the priority needs listed below: Access to Healthcare Services: NMCDH will continue to support efforts to increase access to care by providing leadership, investing resources and working collaboratively with other community organizations throughout the county. NMCDH will support the maintenance and expansion of an efficient and effective continuum of care offering medical homes (including primary and specialty care), pharmaceuticals, inpatient, outpatient and emergent care to uninsured adult residents of DuPage County. Additionally, NMCDH will offer a comprehensive financial assistance program to patients who are unable to afford the cost of necessary medical care. NMCDH will also seek to engage and maintain a multicultural workforce of primary care providers, specialists, mid-level practitioners, registered professional nurses and other specialties committed to working in an evidence-based practice setting. In order to meet our goal to support efforts to increase access to care, NMCDH will implement the following strategies: 1. Offer financial assistance policies that are easily accessible, user-friendly, respectful and meet all regulatory requirements. 2. Continue to provide medically necessary inpatient and outpatient hospital services to uninsured and underinsured patients in accordance with the hospitals financial assistance policies. 3. Continue to address the needs of individuals identified as potentially eligible for public health insurance by facilitating their application for government-sponsored healthcare coverage. 4. Continue representation on various task forces and work groups related to the collaborative work occurring on access to care issues. 5. Provide operational grants to the DuPage Health Coalition in support of their coordination of the DuPage County health safety net system. 6. Provide supportive funding to the Silver Access DuPage Program. 7. Continue to provide free inpatient and outpatient care to Access DuPage clients in accordance with presumptive eligibility and existing NMCDH financial assistance policies. 8. Provide resources for people who do not have health insurance or cannot afford breast cancer screening through the Why Wait? program. 9. Provide operational support to the Engage DuPage program. 10. Serve as a training center for nursing and other allied health professions. 11. Provide trained professional healthcare interpreters and offer language assistance programs. 12. Continue to offer a downloadable application entitled In Case Emergency (ICE) 13. Continue to offer the Moms 2b Email program. 14. Support care rendered to the underserved clients of Tri-City Health Partnership (TCHP). 15. Provide office space and support to the Senior Health Insurance Program (SHIP). 16. Provide grant funding to the Winfield Fire Department to lead efforts in local emergency disaster planning. 17. Engage in a formal agreement with VNA Healthcare to promote access to primary and specialty care to Medicaid recipients in the service area. Mental Health and Substance Abuse: In support of national and local mental health service objectives, NMCDH will provide leadership, invest resources, and work collaboratively with community partners in a county-wide mental health/substance abuse coalition. The purpose of the coalition will be to study the issues and needs, and develop planned responses that will ultimately improve the quantity, quality and continuity of mental health services available in the county. To meet this goal, NMCDH will: 1. Work collaboratively with the DuPage Behavioral Health Collaborative to identify key community partners and best practices in the areas of mental health crisis intervention. 2. Provide in-kind leadership and support to the implementation of the Behavioral Health Treatment Action Plan that has been developed by the DuPage County Behavioral Health Collaborative. 3. Provide in-kind leadership and support to the implementation of the Substance Abuse Action Plan developed by the DuPage Behavioral Health Collaborative. 4. Offer evidence-based wellness programs in the areas of mental health and substance abuse via programmatic venues including but not limited to Dinner with the Doc series, clinician-led educational offerings, self-help groups, rehabilitation services programs, support groups and professional development. 5. Offer community benefit grants targeted to address mental health needs in the NMCDH service area. 6. Implement the National Council for Behavioral Healths Mental Health First Aid Program and offer programming to members of the community. Chronic Disease: In support of national objectives to reduce the prevalence and burden of chronic disease, NMCDH will continue to provide community education related to chronic disease in the areas of evidence-based primary interventions (disease prevention, health promotion), evidenced-based secondary interventions (screening), and evidenced-based tertiary interventions (education to individuals affected with a chronic disease in an effort to promote an optimum state of individual wellness). NMCDH will also continue to bring leading-edge, acute chronic disease and chronic disease management care to all individuals regardless of ability to pay. NMCDH adopted the below strategies to meet this goal. 1. Host/offer evidence-based community health and wellness programming in the areas of cardiovascular and peripheral vascular disease. 2. Host/offer evidence-based community health and wellness programming in the area of cancer, including but not limited to, the topics of breast and colon cancer, brain tumors, proton therapy, yoga classes for cancer patients, palliative care and hospice. 3. Host/offer evidence-based community health and wellness programming in various other areas related to chronic disease including, but not limited to, obesity, injury prevention, arthritis, maternal and child health, joint replacement, fall prevention, chronic lung disease, epilepsy and Parkinsons disease. 4. Offer a community-based heart failure program to all patients with an active diagnosis of heart failure (HF) who have not been referred for or are not receiving other nursing services. The goal of the HF Program is to empower HF patients with a comprehensive, educational chronic disease management program designed to promote effective self-care behaviors aimed at decreasing hospital readmission rates while enhancing client perceived quality of life. 5. Provide in-kind leadership and financial support to the Forward Project. 6. Work with local schools to implement the Coordinated Approach to Child Health (CATCH) program. Emphasis will be on parents and children attending the 4 year old program and all preschool program teachers. 7. Provide "Kits for Kids" an educational program that may be utilized by parents, teachers, scout leaders and other individuals to assist children in learning about good handwashing, bicycle safety and nutrition. 8. Continue efforts to promote referral patterns of physicians and ancillary staff to smoking cessation resources. Two additional needs were identified in the CHNA for which NMCDH and ESC determined it would not prepare an implementation plan and strategy. While these are still considered important needs, the most effective way to respond is by continuing to participate in county-led initiatives and support the work of qualified organizations providing ambulatory care to the underserved. These areas of opportunity and the reasons for not addressing are below. Child and Maternal Health: As identified by the CHNA, there is a need for additional effort to improve prenatal and perinatal care, and to target high-risk groups such as teenagers and older women in addition to monitoring historically higher infant mortality rates among African-Americans residents of DuPage County, suggesting that interventions targeting this population may help. While we consider this an important need, we believe that we are best suited to assist in meeting these needs in two ways: (1) through the support of local medical home providers for the underserved and (2) by continuing to offer state of the art prenatal education services to all members of our community. Infectious and Sexually Transmitted Diseases: The CHNA identified infectious and sexually transmitted disease rates above targets as an area of opportunity in our community. While this was not selected as a priority need, NMCDH will continue to participate in county-led initiatives in these areas in addition to supporting the work of healthcare providers for the underserved.

Sch H part V section B question 5:	As part of the CHNA, three focus groups were held among key stakeholders representing public health, physicians, other healthcare professionals, social service providers and other community leaders from central Kane County. A list of recommended participants for the focus groups was provided by Delnor Hospital (Delnor). Potential participants were chosen because of their ability to identify primary concerns of the populations with whom they live and work, as well as the community overall. Focus group candidates were contacted by email and via phone. Confirmation calls were placed the day before the groups were scheduled to insure a reasonable turnout. Findings from the focus groups represent qualitative data on the needs of the community. The group was designed to gather input from participants regarding their opinions and perceptions of the health of the residents in the area. In total, three focus groups were held as part of this CHNA, incorporating input form 30 key informants or community stakeholders, with special emphasis on persons who work with or have special knowledge about vulnerable populations in central Kane County including low-income individuals, minority populations, those with chronic conditions and other medically underserved residents.

Sch H Part V Section B ques 11:	In selecting priorities and initiatives to address those priorities, Delnor considered the degree of community need for additional resources, the capacity of other agencies to meet the need and the suitability of its own expertise and resources to address the issue. The following Priority Health Needs were selected: Access to Health Care: An aging population, a challenging economy and an increasing prevalence of chronic diseases create a variety of access-to-care issues relating to both the affordability and availability of care. Delnor supported national and local efforts to increase access to care by providing leadership, investing resources and working collaboratively with other key community stakeholders and organizations throughout the county. Additionally, Delnor offered a comprehensive financial assistance program to patients who were unable to afford the cost of medically necessary healthcare services. Delnor maintained a multicultural workforce of primary care providers, specialists, mid-level practitioners, registered professional nurses and other specialties committed to working in an evidence-based practice setting. Delnor worked with the Kane County Health Department and local healthcare providers to offer vaccine clinics to underserved children and adolescents in Kane County who lack access to routine childhood immunizations. Delnor conducted self-audits of immunization compliance rates in an effort to meet/exceed state and local benchmarks for two-year-olds, children entering kindergarten and adolescents. Delnor assessed whether patients who utilize the vaccine clinics are receiving anticipatory guidance and basic health promotion and prevention information. Additionally, Delnor collaborated with the Kane County Health Department as well as state and local healthcare providers to respond to the spike in tuberculosis cases in Kane County.

Additionally, Delnor developed and implemented a post-discharge Community Heart Failure Program designed to improve the quality of life and reduce readmissions in patients with heart failure. Delnor provided leading-edge, acute chronic disease care to all individuals regardless of their ability to pay as per the Delnor Financial Assistance Policy. The problem of adult/child obesity has reached epidemic levels, both nationally and in Kane County. As of 2015, 63.9 percent of Kane County adults and more than 32% of children five years old or younger were considered overweight and/or obese. It is widely recognized that being overweight or obese can lead to a variety of chronic diseases including heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, cancer, stroke and osteoarthritis. With both a large young population and an aging population, it is critical to address this issue to enhance health and well-being and reduce healthcare costs over the long term. Actions taken to address this need include: 1) Participated in and supported the Kane County Fit for Kids 2020 Coalition 2) Maintained a safe walking path around Delnors medical campus for use by community residents 3) Annually underwrote the cost of 15-20 community garden plots for employees and community residents to promote consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables 4) Awarded grants to area organizations responding to the problems of obesity and poor nutrition 5) Worked with an area park district preschool program to implement the nationally recognized Coordinated Approach To Child Health program, educating young children and parents about healthy food choices 6) Provided funding to regional park districts and athletic agencies to provide scholarships to individuals and families otherwise unable to afford park district activities 7) Developed and distributed educational kits with information on healthy habits, safety and nutrition to area parents, scout leaders and teachers 8) Hosted or offered evidence-based community health and wellness programming for common chronic condition

Sch H Part V section B ques 3j: The CHNA report also describes CHNA goals and objectives, public dissemination plan, and development of the Implementation Plan.
Sch H Part V section B ques 5:	As part of the CHNA, individuals representing Northwestern Medicine Kishwaukee Hospital (NMKH) met periodically from April 2015 throughout October 2015 and reviewed population demographics, birth and death data, and social and health indicators to prioritize health problems. Based on the outcomes of these meetings, health priorities were narrowed down to five areas for consideration; cardiovascular disease, cancer, respiratory health, maternal child health, and diabetes/kidney disease. In November 2015, health system team members presented the health priorities to an external community committee, which included a variety of individuals from local and state governmental agencies, leaders from community-based organizations, foundations, school districts, colleges and local non-profit organizations. These participants are experts in health care, social determinants of health, and health and social services. External Committee members were contacted by letter to request their participation. The input from the external group helped to ensure that needs were identified and will be responded to. In addition, the participants engaged in the CHNA process are persons who work with or have special knowledge on vulnerable populations throughout DeKalb and Sycamore, including low income individuals, minority populations, medically underserved, and those with chronic disease. Participating organizations included: 1. Community Mental Health Board & Community Services 2. Kishwaukee Physician Group 3. Kishwaukee United Way 4. Kishwaukee Family YMCA 5.

Cancer: NMKH continues to provide support and education to help address cancer as a priority area within the county. The American Respiratory Associations, Courage to Quit smoking cessation programs are offered throughout the year to the community and businesses to assist with smoking cessation efforts. Smoking cessation programs have proven effective in decreasing the incidence of cancer, heart disease and stroke. NMKH also works to directly or indirectly support activities related to smoking prevention programs in school age children through collaboration with local school districts. NMKH supports the work of DeKalb County Health Departments Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) population on the effects of smoking during pregnancy. In partnership with the DeKalb County Health Department meetings were held and campaign material designed with messaging related to the effects of smoking during pregnancy and exposure to second hand smoke. Clients receive the information at each appointment at the health department. Efforts are made to promote free and reduced mammograms to women with the following criteria; between the ages of 40-64 years old, reside within DeKalb County, and no insurance/under insured or high deductible. Lastly, information related to skin cancer prevention and education is provided at various events and educational opportunities throughout the service area. Cardiovascular Disease: Cardiovascular disease is the most widespread and costly health problem, although heart disease and stroke are often preventable. Better prevention of the management of high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or diabetes help to lower risk for heart disease. NMKH continues to provide, participate and partner in community based health education, nutrition and adult/child activity programs focused on reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke. The hospital supports the work of Live Healthy DeKalb County through its policy and environmental changes to motivate people to eat healthy and be physically active every day. The work includes the assistance of changing policies, systems and environments within businesses and schools to be more conducive of positive health practices. Through the Leishman Center for Culinary Health, identified high risk populations are targeted for "Eat to Beat" series, which promotes healthier diet choices and food preparation through education and instruction to the chronically ill, high risk participants. The community has access to free of charge monthly Know Your Numbers appointments at the hospital; a screening designed to provide a participant with their individual cardiovascular risk factors, including fasting glucose, total cholesterol, Body Mass Index (BMI), blood pressure, and waist measurement. The community also has access to education and promotion efforts for sodium reduction in the diet intended to encourage healthy lifestyles choices. In addition, blood pressure checks are offered weekly free of charge for community members and patients aimed at improving awareness of ones own blood pressure number, an indicator used for heart disease risk factors. Maternal Child Health: Birth weight is a leading indicator for the health of a population. In DeKalb County, low birth weight babies reached a 30-year high and the proportion of both black and Hispanic low birth weights tripled from 2009 to 2012. In addition, the service area experienced a significant increase in pregnant women who smoke. Understanding and addressing maternal child health issues helps to improve the well-being of mothers and infants and children. Respiratory issues continuing to be the leading cause for ED visits in children under the age of 18. NMKH supports the work of DeKalb County Health Departments Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) population on the effects of smoking during pregnancy. In partnership with the DeKalb County Health Department meetings were held and campaign material designed with messaging related to the effects of smoking during pregnancy and exposure to second hand smoke. Clients receive the information at each appointment at the health department. The Northwestern Medicine Community Wellness Department continues to offer the Respiratory Health Associations Courage to Quit smoking cessation programs to women who are receiving services at the DeKalb County Health Department. The planning and implementation of the Asthma and Allergy Foundations of Americans Wee Breathers program has also been initiated. This program is aimed at discussing asthma signs, symptoms, management plans, and medication options in an effort to educate parents of asthmatic children to reduce costly emergency department visits. The CHNA report identified areas of opportunity for health improvement for which NMKH and its External Committee determined it would not prepare an implementation plan and strategy. These identified areas and the reasons for not addressing are listed below. Respiratory Health: Respiratory health may be indirectly addressed as a contributing health factor and because of the work on other identified health priorities including; cardiovascular disease and cancer. Diabetes/Kidney Disease: Diabetes may be indirectly addressed as a contributing health factor and because of work on other identified health priorities including; cardiovascular disease and cancer. Patients and community members will continue to have access to the Center for Diabetes Management at Northwestern Medicine Kishwaukee Hospital.

Sch H Part V section B ques 5:	As part of the CHNA, individuals representing Northwestern Medicine Valley West Hospital (NMVWH) met periodically from April 2015 throughout October 2015 and reviewed population demographics, birth and death data, and social and health indicators to prioritize health problems. Based on the outcomes of these meetings, health priorities were narrowed down to five areas for consideration: cardiovascular disease, cancer, respiratory health, maternal child health, and diabetes/kidney disease. In November 2015, members from NMVWH presented health priorities to an external community committee ("External Committee"), which included a variety of individuals from local and state governmental agencies, leaders from community-based organizations, local foundations, school districts, colleges and non-profit organizations. These participants are experts in healthcare, social determinants of health, and health and social services. External Committee members were contacted by letter to request their participation. The input from the external group helped to ensure that community needs were identified and will be responded to. In addition, the participants engaged in the CHNA process are persons who work with, or have special knowledge of, vulnerable populations throughout Plano, Sandwich and Somonauk, including low income individuals, minority populations, medically underserved, and those with chronic disease.

THE ILLINOIS HEALTH FACILITIES AND SERVICES REVIEW BOARD APPROVED THE CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP IN DECEMBER 2015. SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5: To solicit input from key informants, those individuals who have a broad interest in the health of the community, an online key informant survey was implemented as part of the CHNA process. The list of participants was developed by local hospitals and the Metropolitan Chicago Healthcare Council, and included names and contact information for physicians, public health representatives, other health professionals, social service providers, and a variety of other community leaders. Potential participants were chosen because of their ability to identify primary concerns of the population with whom they work, as well as of the community overall. Key informants were contacted by email, introducing the purpose of the survey and providing a link to take the survey online. Reminder emails were sent as needed to increase participation. In all, ten community stakeholders took part in the online key informant survey including representatives of the organizations below: 1. DuPage County Health Department 2.

SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11:	THE PURPOSE OF THE MARIANJOY REHABILITATION HOSPITAL (MRH) COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) WAS TO GAIN BETTER INSIGHT INTO THE HEALTH CONCERNS AND NEEDS OF THE SPECIFIC COMMUNITIES SERVED BY MRH, FOCUSING ON THOSE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY WITH DISABILITIES AND IMPAIRMENTS. IT WAS CONDUCTED USING A DATA-DRIVEN APPROACH, UTILIZING BOTH ONLINE KEY INFORMANT SURVEYS IN ADDITION TO VITAL STATISTICS AND OTHER EXISTING HEALTH-RELATED DATA. IT SPOTLIGHTED DISPARATE, VULNERABLE POPULATIONS INCLUDING THE DISABLED, INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCING MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE CONCERNS, DECREASED ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE SERVICES, AND LIMITED-ENGLISH PROFICIENT INDIVIDUALS. TEN POTENTIAL AREAS OF OPPORTUNITY FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT WERE IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE MRH CHNA, INCLUDING: 1. ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE SERVICES 2. HEART DISEASE AND STROKE 3. IMMUNIZATION AND INFECTIOUS DISEASE 4. MENTAL HEALTH 5. SUBSTANCE ABUSE 6. INJURY AND VIOLENCE 7. NUTRITION, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND WEIGHT 8. POTENTIALLY DISABLING CONDITIONS 9. ACCESS TO HEALTH PROMOTION ACTIVITIES 10. MEETING THE SPECIALTY NEEDS OF DISABLED INDIVIDUALS GUIDED BY THE EXTERNAL STEERING COMMITTEE (ESC), MRH CONSIDERED NOT ONLY THE LEVEL OF NEED, BUT ALSO THE EXPERTISE AND SCOPE OF SERVICES THAT MRH IS UNIQUELY QUALIFIED TO PROVIDE. FURTHER CONSIDERATION WAS GIVEN TO THE EXISTING RESOURCES AND EXPERTISE AVAILABLE THROUGH OTHER PROVIDERS, BOTH WITHIN NORTHWESTERN MEMORIAL HEALTHCARE (NMHC) AND EXTERNALLY (INCLUDING THE GOVERNMENT, PUBLIC HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS, FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTERS AND COMMUNITY GROUPS). IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MRHS PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS WOULD INCLUDE: 1. ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE SERVICES 2. MEETING THE SPECIALTY NEEDS OF DISABLED INDIVIDUALS 3. CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT AND REHABILITATION 4. INJURY AND VIOLENCE ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE SERVICES: MRH ENSURES THAT RESIDENTS OF OUR COMMUNITY HAVE ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES IN THE MOST APPROPRIATE SETTING. DEDICATED TO THE DELIVERY OF PHYSICAL MEDICINE AND REHABILITATION, MRH OFFERS SPECIALTY PROGRAMS FOR ADULT AND PEDIATRIC PATIENTS RECOVERING FROM INJURY OR ILLNESS IN BOTH THE INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT SETTINGS. MRH IS COMMITTED TO DEVELOPING AND MAINTAINING PROGRAMS THAT ADDRESS THE AFFORDABILITY OF AND ACCESSIBILITY TO HEALTHCARE SERVICES. ADDITIONALLY, MRH OFFERS A COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM TO PATIENTS WHO ARE UNABLE TO AFFORD THE COST OF NECESSARY MEDICAL CARE. MRH SEEKS TO ENGAGE AND MAINTAIN A MULTICULTURAL WORKFORCE OF PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS, SPECIALISTS, MIDLEVEL PRACTITIONERS, REGISTERED PROFESSIONAL NURSES AND OTHER SPECIALTIES COMMITTED TO WORKING IN AN EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE SETTING BY PROVIDING A CLINICAL SITE FOR EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES. THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DUPAGE COUNTY ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES ACTION PLAN IS LED BY THE DUPAGE HEALTH COALITION. FORMERLY KNOWN AS ACCESS DUPAGE, THE COALITION IS A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT BY THOUSANDS OF INDIVIDUALS AND HUNDREDS OF ORGANIZATIONS IN DUPAGE COUNTY TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO MEDICAL SERVICES TO THE COUNTYS LOW-INCOME, MEDICALLY UNINSURED RESIDENTS. THE DUPAGE HEALTH COALITION ALSO OPERATES THE SILVER ACCESS PROGRAM, WHICH PROVIDES FINANCIAL HELP TO LOWER INCOME FAMILIES PURCHASING HEALTH INSURANCE THROUGH THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACTS HEALTHCARE MARKETPLACE.

CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT AND REHABILITATION: IN GENERAL, INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES TEND TO EXPERIENCE HIGHER PERCENTAGES OF HEALTH DISPARITIES THAN THE LARGER POPULATION. THESE ADDED CHALLENGES CAN RESULT IN FURTHER IMPAIRED MOBILITY, NUTRITIONAL DEFICITS AND AN INCREASED SUSCEPTIBILITY TO CHRONIC MEDICAL CONDITIONS. COMMON PRECURSORS OF CHRONIC DISEASES, INCLUDING PHYSICAL INACTIVITY, OBESITY, HYPERTENSION AND HIGH CHOLESTEROL, ARE MORE PREVALENT AMONG PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES THAN THOSE WITHOUT. DESPITE INCREASED HEALTH RISKS, PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES ARE RARELY TARGETED BY SPECIFIC HEALTH-PROMOTION AND DISEASE-PREVENTION EFFORTS. GIVEN THE INCREASING PREVALENCE OF DISABILITY AS THE POPULATION AGES, THE NEED FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES FOCUSING ON THE REHABILITATION NEEDS OF THOSE SERVED WILL LIKELY INCREASE AT A PROPORTIONAL RATE. A BROAD RANGE OF INTERVENTION EXISTS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF CHRONIC DISEASE INCLUDING HEALTH EDUCATION, HEALTH SCREENINGS, SUPPORTING LINKAGES TO MEDICAL HOMES, AND CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS. MRH UTILIZES A COLLABORATIVE, EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACH TO PREVENTION, SCREENING AND CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT AIMED AT REDUCING AND ELIMINATING MANY OF THE PROMINENT CONTRIBUTORS TO MORTALITY IN THE UNITED STATES.

Form and Line Reference	Explanation
Schedule H, Part I, Line 3c	Central/North: 09/01/15 01/31/16 Free and Discounted Care may only be given for Medically Necessary services for which the patient meets clinical program criteria and is financially responsible. Free and Discounted Care will only be applied to true self-pay balances, after all third-party benefits/resources are exhausted, including (but not limited to) benefits from insurance carriers (e.g., health, home, auto liability, workers compensation, or employer funded health reimbursement accounts ("HRAs")), government programs (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid or other federal, state, or local programs), or proceeds from litigation and/or settlements (collectively, "Third-Party Funding Sources"). All patients receiving emergent care through the Emergency Department are eligible for the Programs in this policy in connection with such care. Non-emergent patients who have their principal legal residence within the state of Illinois and who will receive or have received Medically Necessary services are also eligible for Free Care. Illinois residents, as defined by the Hospital Uninsured Patient Discount Act (IPA #095-0965), are eligible for Northwestern Memorial Healthcare's (NMHC) Sliding Fee Scale and Catastrophic Discount Programs. Non-Illinois residents seeking non-emergent care will not be eligible; this includes, but is not limited to, out-of-state external transfers. These patients should be encouraged to seek treatment at an appropriate facility within their geographic proximity. The following considerations are to be used to determine whether the patient will be eligible for Free or Discounted Care and the amount of discount: 1. Household income and family size 2. Employment status. 3. Amount of estimated or actual charges on all open accounts for Medically Necessary services. 4. Availability of Third-Party Funding Sources, as well as other discounted programs, private charitable organizations and other funds/financial resources. 5. Extenuating circumstances major issues and/or problems that may contribute to an inability to pay, such as extended major illness or outstanding financial obligations. 6. Patient or guarantor cooperation sufficient to allow eligibility determination to be made and application for government programs (e.g., Medicaid) or other Third-Party Funding Sources. 7. In the event there is reason to believe that a patient/guarantor may have assets available to pay for medical services that are disproportionate to the reported income, NMHC may require the patient/guarantor to provide information about their assets and consider those assets in deciding whether, and to what extent, to extend Free or Discounted Care. Central/North: 02/01/16 08/31/16 NMHC shall, in accordance with Illinois Hospital Uninsured Patient Discount Act, provide Free Care and Discounted Care to Uninsured Patients. NMHC provides Free Care and Discounted Care to eligible Applicants who are uninsured through two methods: "uninsured sliding fee scale assistance"uninsured catastrophic assistance." If an Applicant qualifies under both methods, NMHC will apply the method that is most beneficial to the Applicant. Despite qualification under either method, if there is reason to believe that an Applicant may have assets in excess of 600% of the then current Federal Poverty Guideline applicable to the Applicant's Family Size and that are available to pay for medical services, NMHC may require the Applicant to provide information about such assets, and the Free Care Committee may consider those assets in deciding whether, and to what extent, to extend Free Care or Discounted Care. Free Care and Discounted Care shall be available for those Uninsured Patients who are Legal Illinois Residents and Illinois Residents. Non-Residents who are Uninsured Patients are not eligible for Free Care or Discounted Care. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no residency requirement for Uninsured Applicants receiving Emergency Services. NMHC provides Free Care and Discounted Care to eligible Insured Patients through two methods: "insured sliding fee scale assistance"insured catastrophic assistance." If the Applicant qualifies under both methods, NMHC will apply the method that is most beneficial to the Applicant. Despite qualification under either method, if there is reason to believe that an Applicant may have assets in amounts in excess of 600% of the then current Federal Poverty Guideline applicable to the Applicant's Family Size and that are available to pay for medical services, NMHC may require the applicant to provide information about such assets, and may consider those assets in deciding whether, and to what extent, to extend free care or discounted care. Financial Assistance will only be applied to self-pay balances, after all third-party benefits/resources are reasonably exhausted, including, but not limited to, benefits from insurance carriers (e.g., health, home, auto liability, worker's compensation, or employer funded health reimbursement accounts), government programs (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid or other federal, state, or local programs), or proceeds from litigation, settlements, and/or private fundraising efforts (collectively, "Third-Party Funding Sources"). Patients receiving Financial Assistance and who require Medically Necessary care (other than Emergency Services) must, whenever possible, be screened for eligibility for Medicaid, Health Insurance Exchange, or other available payment programs and, if found eligible, the Patient must fully cooperate with enrollment requirements prior to the procedure being scheduled and/or services being rendered. Eligible Patients who fail or refuse to enroll in available Medicaid, Health Insurance Exchange, or other available payment programs may be ineligible for Financial Assistance. NMHC (or its agent), at its discretion, may assess a Patients or Guarantors Financial Assistance eligibility by means other than a completed Application. In such instances, eligibility determinations may include the use of information provided by credit reporting agencies, public records, or other objective and reasonably accurate means of assessing a Patients or Guarantors Program eligibility. If there is reason to believe that an Applicant may have assets in amounts in excess of 600% of the then current Federal Poverty Guideline applicable to the Applicants Family Size and that are available to pay for medical services, NMHC may require the Applicant to provide information about such assets, and the Free Care Committee may consider those assets in deciding whether, and to what extent, to extend Free Care or Discounted Care. An uninsured Patient demonstrating eligibility under one or more of the following programs shall be deemed eligible for NMHCs Free and Discounted Care program and will not be required to provide additional supporting documentation for financial assistance. A. Homelessness B. Deceased with no estate c. Mental incapacitation with no one to act on the patients behalf d. Medicaid eligibility, but not on date of service for non-covered service e. Enrollment in the following assistance programs for low-income individuals having eligibility criteria at or below 200% of the federal poverty income guidelines; 1.

Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) 5. Enrollment in an organized community-based program providing access to medical care that assess and documents limited low income financial 6. Receipt of grant assistance for medical services West: 09/01/15 - 08/31/16 Free and Discounted Care may only be given for Medically Necessary services for which the patient meets clinical criteria and is financially responsible. Eligible individuals will not be charged more than the amounts generally billed (AGB) for emergency or other medically necessary care. Free and Discounted Care will only be applied to true self-pay balances, after all third-party benefits/resources are exhausted, including (but not limited to) benefits from insurance carriers (e.g., health, home, auto liability, workers compensation, or employer funded health reimbursement accounts (HRSs), government programs (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid or other federal, state, or local programs), or proceeds from litigation and/or settlements. NMHC- West Region will work with the patient to identify alternative methods of coverage and will assist the patient in applying for Public Aid if applicable. The following considerations are to be used to determine whether the patient will be eligible for Free and Discounted Care and the amount of discount: 1. Household income and family size. 2. Employment status. 3. Ages of dependent household members 4. Number of dependents being supported (dependents should meet the IRS support regulations) 5. The number of household members working and their earnings over the

Bad debt expense footnote	Schedule H, part III, LINE 2/ LINE 4 NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE, NET OF CONTRACTUAL ALLOWANCES AND DISCOUNTS, IS REDUCED BY THE PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS, AND NET PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE REDUCED BY AN ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. THESE AMOUNTS ARE BASED PRIMARILY ON MANAGEMENTS ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED WRITE-OFFS AND NET COLLECTIONS, ALONG WITH THE AGING STATUS FOR EACH MAJOR PAYOR SOURCE. MANAGEMENT REGULARLY REVIEWS DATA ABOUT THESE MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE IN EVALUATING THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. BASED ON HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE, A PORTION OF NORTHWESTERN MEMORIALS SELF-PAY PATIENTS WHO DO NOT QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE WILL BE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PAY FOR THE SERVICES PROVIDED. THUS, A PROVISION IS RECORDED FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS IN THE PERIOD SERVICES ARE PROVIDED RELATED TO THESE PATIENTS. AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH NORTHWESTERN MEMORIALS POLICIES, ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE WRITTEN OFF AND CHARGED AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SELF-PAY PATIENTS, NORTHWESTERN MEMORIAL RECORDS AN ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS IN THE PERIOD OF SERVICE ON THE BASIS OF PAST EXPERIENCE. THESE ADJUSTMENTS ARE ACCRUED ON AN ESTIMATED BASIS AND ARE ADJUSTED AS NEEDED IN FUTURE PERIODS. Bad debts represent the provision for uncollectible accounts reported in NMHCs fiscal year 2016 audited financial statements related to patient care services adjusted to cost consistent with the methodology used to calculate Government Sponsored Indigent Healthcare.
Medicare shortfall	Schedule H, part III, line 8 THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF MEDICARE IS DEFINED BY THE STATE OF ILLINOIS ATTORNERY GENERALS OFFICE ANNUAL NONPROFIT HOSPITAL COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN REPORT AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THE HEALTHCARE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION ALSO VIEWS THE UNREIMBURSED COSTS OF MEDICARE AS PART OF A HOSPITALS COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAM. NMHC PROVIDES MEDICAL CARE TO MEDICARE PATIENTS AT A COST HIGHER THAN THE REIMBURSEMENT IT RECEIVES FROM MEDICARE. THE AMOUNTS LISTED FOR PART III, LINE 5 THRU 7, ARE CALCULATED CONSISTENT WITH THE METHODOLOGY DESCRIBED FOR CALCULATING UNREIMBURSED COST OF MEDICAID FOR FISCAL 2016.
Financial Assistance collection practices	Schedule H, part III, line 9b NMHCS CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICY CONTAINS A PROVISION FOR FINANCIAL COUNSELING. THE POLICY STATES THAT PATIENTS WITH SELF-PAY BALANCES AND WITHOUT THE RESOURCES TO PAY THEIR OBLIGATIONS WILL BE ASSESSED FOR FREE AND DISCOUNTED CARE ELIGIBILITY BY THE FINANCIAL COUNSELING DEPARTMENTS. THE ASSESSMENT INVOLVES AND EVALUATION OF ALL LEVELS OF ASSISTANCE INCLUDING GOVERNMENTAL ASSISTANCE, EXTENDED PAY ALTERNATIVES, AND FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE. IF THE PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR FREE CARE, THE ACCOUNT IS ADJUSTED TO ZERO SO NO COLLECTION ACTIVITY OCCURS. IF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE RESULTS IN A DISCOUNTED OR REDUCED BALANCE, ONLY THE REDUCED BALANCE WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE COLLECTION PROCESS.
Needs assessment	schedule H, part VI, Line 2 OUR HOSPITALS MISSION STATEMENTS SET FORTH THE COMMITMENT TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE AND TO ADVANCE MEDICAL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION. THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT PLAN DESCRIBES THE BROAD REACHING GOALS THAT SUPPORT THIS COMMITMENT AND ADDRESS OUR RESPONSIBILITY AS A TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION. THE GOALS OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT PLAN ARE TO: 1. PROVIDE QUALITY CARE BASED ON OUR CLINICAL AND ACADEMIC STRENGTHS; 2. TRAIN THE NEXT GENERATION OF HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS FOR OUR HOSPITALS, COMMUNITIES AND INDUSTRY; 3. SUPPORT THE DISCOVERY OF NEW KNOWLEDGE THROUGH RESEARCH THAT CAN CURE DISEASE AND REDUCE SUFFERING; 4. DEVELOP PROGRAMS TO ADDRESS THE AFFORDABILITY AND ACCESSIBILITY OF HEALTHCARE; 5. MAKE A MEASURABLE, POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE HEALTH OF MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED RESIDENTS IN OUR COMMUNITIES; 6. THROUGH INFORMATION, EMPOWER COMMUNITY RESIDENTS TO MAKE PROACTIVE HEALTHCARE DECISIONS; 7. PROVIDE LOCAL YOUTH WITH EDUCATION, MENTORING AND EXPOSURE TO THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY FOR POTENTIAL CAREERS; 8. IDENTIFY AND ADDRESS COMMUNITY NEEDS WITHIN AVAILABLE RESOURCES; AND 9. PROMOTE STRONG AND LASTING RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR COMMUNITIES. ALIGNED WITH OUR MISSIONS AND COMMUNITY BENEFIT PLAN, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACA, EACH OF THE NMHC HOSPITALS WORK WITH COMMUNITY AND CAMPUS PARTNERS EVERY THREE YEARS TO COMPLETE A COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) THAT IDENTIFIES THE HIGHEST PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS OF RESIDENTS OF THEIR COMMUNITIES. WITH FEINBERG, NMHC BRINGS TO BEAR THE RESOURCES OF A WORLD-CLASS INTEGRATED ACADEMIC MEDICAL HEALTH SYSTEM TO ADVANCE OUR COMMUNITY BENEFIT GOALS AND CHNA INITIATIVES IN WAYS THAT COULD NOT BE ACHIEVED AS STAND-ALONE HOSPITALS: 1. SEEKING ROOT CAUSES TO HEALTH CONDITIONS AND COLLABORATING WITH SCIENTISTS AND CLINICIANS TO DEVELOP SOLUTIONS; 2. ENHANCING ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE; 3. IMPROVING CLINICAL QUALITY; 4. ADVANCING MEDICAL INNOVATION; AND 5. ENSURING THAT A HIGHLY SKILLED HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE IS IN PLACE FOR DECADES TO COME. THE CHNAS AND CORRESPONDING IMPLEMENTATION PLANS WERE DEVELOPED COLLABORATIVELY WITH COMMUNITY HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS AND OTHER SOCIAL SERVICES AND PUBLIC ORGANIZATIONS WHO UNDERSTAND AND HELP REPRESENT THE WIDE-RANGING HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF THE RESIDENTS IN OUR COMMUNITIES. THE CHNA IMPLEMENTATION PLANS ARE GROUNDED IN A PUBLIC HEALTH MODEL THAT WE HAVE WORKED WITH OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO ESTABLISH, IN WHICH RESIDENTS OF OUR COMMUNITIES ARE INFORMED AND ABLE TO MAKE HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CHOICES, MANAGE THEIR CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS AND RECEIVE MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES IN THE MOST APPROPRIATE SETTING. THE MODEL IS BASED ON THE BELIEF THAT HEALTHCARE SERVICES ARE OPTIMIZED WHEN THEY ARE COORDINATED THROUGH A PATIENT-CENTERED MEDICAL HOME. THE PATIENT-CENTERED MEDICAL HOME PROVIDES HEALTH INFORMATION AND COMMUNITY RESOURCES, ASSISTANCE IN NAVIGATING THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM, PRIMARY AND PREVENTIVE CARE AT A LOCATION CONVENIENT FOR PATIENTS AND FACILITATES ACCESS TO MORE SPECIALIZED HOSPITAL-BASED DIAGNOSTIC AND TREATMENT SERVICES. WE HAVE IMPLEMENTED LARGE-SCALE PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT OUR COMMUNITIES USING THIS FRAMEWORK TO TARGET HIGH PRIORITY HEALTH CONDITIONS AND WILL CONTINUE TO USE THIS MODEL TO ADDRESS PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED THROUGH OUR CHNAS. ONGOING EFFORTS DRAW ON NMHCS AND FEINBERGS STRENGTHS IN PUBLIC HEALTH, COMMUNICATION AND EDUCATION AND INCLUDE PROGRAMS TO ADDRESS IDENTIFIED PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS ACROSS THE SYSTEM. OUR HOSPITALS HAVE ENDURING RELATIONSHIPS, OFTEN DECADES OLD, WITH HEALTHCARE AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS IN OUR COMMUNITIES. THROUGH THESE PARTNERSHIPS WE COLLABORATE ON DETERMINING PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS THROUGH THE CHNA PROCESS AND WORK TOGETHER TO DEVELOP SOLUTIONS THAT RESPECT THE VARIED CULTURAL, SOCIOECONOMIC AND PRACTICAL NEEDS OF OUR DIVERSE COMMUNITIES. NMH HAS FORMAL AND LONGSTANDING AFFILIATIONS WITH TWO FQHCS BASED IN THE COMMUNITY: NEAR NORTH AND ERIE.

Community Information	Schedule H, Part VI, Line 4 THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY NMHC HOSPITALS ARE COMPLEX AND DIVERSE, ENCOMPASSING RURAL, SUBURBAN AND URBAN AREAS, WITH A RANGE OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUSES AND THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH THAT CORRESPOND TO THESE DEMOGRAPHICS. NMHC IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING CULTURALLY COMPETENT CARE THAT IS RESPONSIVE TO THE NEEDS OF ALL OUR PATIENTS. NMHC WORKS CLOSELY WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS, INCLUDING COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS, TO IDENTIFY PRIORITY HEALTH CONCERNS AND JOINTLY DEVELOP COMMUNITY-BASED HEALTH INITIATIVES DESIGNED TO ADDRESS HEALTHCARE DISPARITIES. NMHC DEFINES HOSPITAL SERVICE AREA (HSA) AS A COMBINATION OF THE PRIMARY SERVICE AREA (PSA) AND THE SECONDARY SERVICE AREA (SSA) THAT ACCOUNT FOR A PERCENTAGE OF INPATIENT ADMISSIONS TO EACH HOSPITAL. THE HSA OF EACH HOSPITAL IS DEFINED IN FURTHER DETAIL, BELOW. NORTHWESTERN MEMORIAL HOSPITAL SERVICE AREA NMH SERVES A LARGE, COMPLEX AND DIVERSE AREA WITH PATIENTS COMING FROM THE CITY OF CHICAGO AND SURROUNDING COUNTIES. NMHS HSA IS DEFINED AS THE CITY OF CHICAGO, WHICH PROVIDES 68 PERCENT OF INPATIENT ADMISSIONS. THE COMMUNITY IN NMHS HSA IS ETHNICALLY AND RACIALLY DIVERSE WITH LARGE BLACK AND HISPANIC POPULATIONS AS WELL AS LARGE POLISH AND SPANISH-SPEAKING POPULATIONS. WITHIN NMHS HSA, THE POPULATION IS EXPECTED TO GROW AT A RATE OF 0.9 PERCENT OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. SIGNIFICANTLY, NEARLY 20 PERCENT OF FAMILIES LIVE BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL IN NMHS HSA. NMH IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING CULTURALLY COMPETENT CARE THAT IS RESPONSIVE TO THE NEEDS OF ALL OUR PATIENTS, REGARDLESS OF THE ABILITY TO PAY. NMH WORKS WITH COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS IN SOME OF CHICAGOS MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREAS TO IDENTIFY PRIORITY HEALTH CONCERNS AND JOINTLY DEVELOP COMMUNITY-BASED HEALTH INITIATIVES DESIGNED TO ADDRESS HEALTHCARE DISPARITIES. NORTHWESTERN MEDICINE LAKE FOREST HOSPITAL SERVICE AREA LFH PRIMARILY SERVES LAKE COUNTY, WHICH HAS A FAIRLY STABLE POPULATION OF AROUND 704,000 RESIDENTS; NEARLY 90 PERCENT OF INPATIENT ADMISSIONS AT LFH ARE DERIVED FROM LAKE COUNTY. WHILE LFHS HSA POPULATION IS ONLY EXPECTED TO GROW BY 0.7 PERCENT OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, THE OVER-65 POPULATION IS GROWING RAPIDLY. BETWEEN 2010 AND 2015, (THE MOST RECENT INFORMATION AVAILABLE,) THE NUMBER OF PERSONS IN LAKE COUNTY 65 YEARS AND OVER INCREASED BY MORE THAN 2 PERCENT. A TOTAL OF 20.2% OF LAKE COUNTY RESIDENTS ARE HISPANIC OR LATINO. IN LOOKING AT RACE INDEPENDENT OF ETHNICITY, 78.7% OF RESIDENTS OF LAKE COUNTY ARE WHITE AND 14.4% ARE BLACK. NORTHWESTERN MEDICINE CENTRAL DUPAGE HOSPITAL SERVICE AREA LOCATED IN WINFIELD, ILLINOIS, NMCDH SERVES THE RESIDENTS OF DUPAGE COUNTY, AND BEYOND. NMCDHS HSA ACCOUNTS FOR 71 PERCENT OF INPATIENT ADMISSIONS. THE POPULATION OF NMCDHS HSA IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY WITH A PROJECTED GROWTH OF 2.1 PERCENT IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. THE MEDIAN AGE OF DUPAGE COUNTY IS 38 YEARS OLD; SLIGHTLY OLDER THAN THAT OF ILLINOIS OVERALL (36 YEARS). IN LOOKING AT RACE INDEPENDENT OF ETHNICITY, 80.3% OF RESIDENTS IN DUPAGE COUNTY ARE WHITE AND 4.6% ARE BLACK. WHEN CONSIDERING ETHNICITY, 13.5% OF DUPAGE RESIDENTS ARE HISPANIC OR LATINO. THE HISPANIC POPULATION IN DUPAGE COUNTY INCREASED BY 40,167 (49.4%) BETWEEN 2000 AND 2010. ADDITIONALLY, A TOTAL OF 5% OF THE DUPAGE COUNTY POPULATION, AGE 5 AND OVER, LIVE IN A HOME IN WHICH NO PERSON(S) AGE 14 OR OLDER ARE PROFICIENT IN ENGLISH. NORTHWESTERN MEDICINE DELNOR HOSPITAL SERVICE AREA DELNOR PRIMARILY SERVES THE RESIDENTS OF KANE COUNTY; DELNORS HSA ACCOUNTS FOR 86 PERCENT OF INPATIENT ADMISSIONS. THE HSA FOR DELNOR IS EXPECTED TO GROW BY A PROJECTED 1.8 PERCENT OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. ONE OF THE YOUNGEST COUNTIES IN ILLINOIS, KANE COUNTYS MEDIAN AGE IS 34 YEARS, TWO YEARS YOUNGER THAN ILLINOIS OVERALL MEDIAN AGE OF 36. THE RACIAL DISTRIBUTION IN KANE COUNTY HAS CHANGED SIGNIFICANTLY FROM 2000 TO 2010. NON-HISPANIC WHITES NOW CONSTITUTE 59 PERCENT OF THE TOTAL POPULATION, A DROP FROM 68 PERCENT IN 2000, AND HISPANICS NOW COMPRISE 31 PERCENT OF THE TOTAL POPULATION, AN INCREASE FROM 24 PERCENT IN 2000. WHEN COMPARED TO ILLINOIS, THE PROPORTION OF HISPANICS IS DOUBLE IN KANE COUNTY, AND THE COUNTY HAS THE LARGEST PROPORTION OF HISPANICS IN THE STATE. NORTHWESTERN MEDICINE KISHWAUKEE HOSPITAL SERVICE AREA NMKH SERVES THE LARGEST PORTION OF DEKALB COUNTY RESIDENTS; A MAJORITY OF THE COUNTYS RESIDENTS LIVE IN THE CITIES OF DEKALB AND SYCAMORE. NMKHS HSA PROVIDES 85 PERCENT OF INPATIENT ADMISSIONS. THE POPULATION OF NMKHS HSA IS PROJECTED TO GROW BY 1.7 PERCENT OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. A SIGNIFICANT PERCENTAGE OF FAMILIES IN NMKHS HSA, 12.6 PERCENT, LIVE BELOW THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE.

Promotion of Community health	schedule H, Part VI, Line 5 AS DESCRIBED IN EARLIER SECTIONS, NMHC BELIEVES THAT ITS MISSION TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES IS BEST ACCOMPLISHED IN COLLABORATION WITH PARTNERS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE CHNA PROCESS AND ONGOING INPUT FROM COMMUNITY PARTNERS INFORM HOW NMHC HOSPITALS PRIORITIZE AND ADDRESS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS. ALONG WITH OUR MANY CARE LOCATIONS, OUR COMMUNITY AFFILIATIONS HELP US TO PROVIDE CARE TO RESIDENTS NEAR WHERE THEY LIVE OR WORK, WITH STREAMLINED PATHWAYS TO ACCESS MEDICALLY NECESSARY HOSPITAL-BASED CARE. ACCESS TO CARE APPROACHES TO IMPROVING ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY, CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE HEALTHCARE SERVICES AMONG UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS OF THE HOSPITALS SERVICES AREAS INCLUDED STRATEGIES TO: 1. ENSURE THAT MEMBERS OF EACH HOSPITALS DEFINED COMMUNITIES HAVE ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY, MEDICALLY NECESSARY SERVICES IN THE MOST APPROPRIATE SETTING, IN RESPONSE TO ASSESSED NEEDS; 2. DEVELOP AND SUPPORT CULTURALLY COMPETENT CLINICAL AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS TO PREVENT DISEASE, PROMOTE HEALTH AND WELLNESS AND ADDRESS DISPARITIES IN HEALTH; 3. DEVELOP AND SUPPORT MODELS OF CARE THAT ENSURE ADEQUATE PRIMARY CARE CAPACITY AND ACCESS TO MEDICALLY NECESSARY DIAGNOSTIC AND SPECIALTY CARE, ESPECIALLY FOR THE MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED; 4. DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN PROGRAMS TO ADDRESS AFFORDABILITY OF AND ACCESSIBILITY TO HEALTHCARE SERVICES. NMH HAS LONGSTANDING AFFILIATIONS WITH TWO OF CHICAGOS FQHCS, NEAR NORTH HEALTH SERVICE CORPORATION (NEAR NORTH) AND ERIE FAMILY HEALTH CENTER (ERIE). THROUGH THESE COLLABORATIVE RELATIONSHIPS, NMH HAS IMPLEMENTED A SUCCESSFUL, LONG-TERM PROGRAM TO ACHIEVE SUSTAINABLE RESULTS IN THE CARE OF INDIGENT PATIENTS WITH DIABETES; DEVELOPED A REPLICABLE AND CULTURALLY SENSITIVE MODEL FOR COMPREHENSIVELY ADDRESSING DISPARITIES IN BREAST HEALTH SERVICES; AND IS EXPANDING ACCESS TO LIFE-SAVING COLONOSCOPY SCREENING SERVICES. THROUGH THESE AFFILIATIONS, COMMUNITY RESIDENTS IN NEED AND THE HOMELESS HAVE ACCESS TO CARE AND SUPPORT SERVICES SO THEY CAN RECEIVE NECESSARY HEALTHCARE IN THEIR OWN COMMUNITIES AND ACCESS TO HOSPITAL-BASED SERVICES AT NMH. THE DIABETES CARE AND COLONOSCOPY SCREENING PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN REPLICATED AT COMMUNITYHEALTH, THE LARGEST FREE MEDICAL CLINIC IN ILLINOIS, WITH LOCATIONS ON CHICAGOS SOUTH AND WEST SIDES. NMHC HELPED TO ORGANIZE AND FUND THE DEVELOPMENT OF ERIE HEALTHREACH WAUKEGAN HEALTH CENTER (EHWHC), WHICH OPENED IN 2014 IN RESPONSE TO THE CRITICAL NEED FOR PRIMARY CARE SERVICES FOR THE UNINSURED, ESTIMATED AT MORE THAN 75,000 LAKE COUNTY RESIDENTS AT THAT TIME. EHWHC HAS VASTLY EXPANDED ACCESS TO PRIMARY CARE FOR THOSE WITH NO INSURANCE OR THOSE UNABLE TO PAY FOR HEALTHCARE IN LAKE COUNTY. THE SITE SERVES AS A PATIENT-CENTERED MEDICAL HOME, PROVIDING PRIMARY, PREVENTIVE AND DENTAL CARE. HEALTH EDUCATION AND CHRONIC DISEASE SELF-MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS ESTABLISHED AT OTHER ERIE SITES HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFULLY REPLICATED AT THE LAKE COUNTY FACILITY. FOLLOWING THE MODEL IN PLACE BETWEEN NMH AND ITS AFFILIATED COMMUNITY HEALTHCARE PARTNERS IN CHICAGO, EHWHC PATIENTS ARE REFERRED TO LFH FOR MEDICALLY NECESSARY SERVICES. THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DUPAGE COUNTY ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES ACTION PLAN IS LED BY THE DUPAGE HEALTH COALITION. THE COALITION IS A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT BY THOUSANDS OF INDIVIDUALS AND HUNDREDS OF ORGANIZATIONS IN DUPAGE COUNTY TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO MEDICAL SERVICES TO THE COUNTYS LOW-INCOME, MEDICALLY UNINSURED RESIDENTS. SINCE THE PROGRAM BEGAN IN 2001, MORE THAN 60,000 DUPAGE COUNTY RESIDENTS HAVE RECEIVED HIGH QUALITY, COMPASSIONATE HEALTHCARE WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF ACCESS DUPAGE, A NAVIGATION AND CASE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM DEVELOPED BY THE COALITION AND FUNDED BY ITS MEMBERS. IN FISCAL YEAR 2016, ACCESS DUPAGE SERVED APPROXIMATELY 6,000 RESIDENTS. CDH PROVIDED MORE THAN $440,000 IN FUNDING TO ACCESS DUPAGE IN FISCAL YEAR 2016. THE DUPAGE HEALTH COALITION REPRESENTS AN EXCEPTIONAL PARTNERSHIP OF HOSPITALS, PHYSICIANS, LOCAL GOVERNMENT, HUMAN SERVICES AGENCIES AND COMMUNITY GROUPS WORKING TOGETHER LOCALLY TO BUILD AN EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE HEALTH SAFETY NET. EVERY DOLLAR OF DIRECT SERVICE PROVIDED THROUGH ACCESS DUPAGE IS MATCHED BY MORE THAN TEN DOLLARS IN DONATED HEALTHCARE GENEROUSLY PROVIDED BY EVERY HOSPITAL IN DUPAGE COUNTY AS WELL AS THOUSANDS OF VOLUNTEER PHYSICIANS AND HEALTH CLINICS. ACCESS DUPAGE SITS WITHIN A GROWING NETWORK OF HEALTH SERVICES COORDINATED BY THE DUPAGE HEALTH COALITION. THE COALITION ALSO OPERATES THE SILVER ACCESS PROGRAM, WHICH PROVIDES FINANCIAL HELP TO LOWER INCOME FAMILIES PURCHASING HEALTH INSURANCE ON THE ACA MARKETPLACE AND WOMENS HEALTH NAVIGATION SERVICES. NMCDH LEADERSHIP AND STAFF WORK COLLABORATIVELY WITH THE DUPAGE COALITION TO PROMOTE AFFORDABLE ACCESS TO CARE FOR ALL RESIDENTS OF DUPAGE COUNTY. IN 2016, NMCDH PROVIDED MORE THAN $17,000 IN SUPPORTIVE FUNDING TO THE SILVER ACCESS PROGRAM IN ADDITION TO THE SUPPORT PROVIDED TO ACCESS DUPAGE. LEADERSHIP AND STAFF AT NMCDH WORK COLLABORATIVELY WITH THE DUPAGE COALITION TO PROMOTE AFFORDABLE ACCESS TO CARE FOR ALL RESIDENTS OF DUPAGE COUNTY. RESIDENTS OF DUPAGE COUNTY WITHOUT HEALTH INSURANCE MAY ALSO NEED ACCESS TO A BROADER RANGE OF SOCIAL SERVICES INCLUDING HOUSING, SUPPLEMENTAL FOOD PROGRAMS AND MENTAL HEALTHCARE. RESIDENTS WITH COMPLEX NEEDS ARE AT SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER RISK FOR A RANGE OF POOR HEALTH OUTCOMES. OFTEN THE ONLY INTERFACE A PERSON WITH MULTIPLE HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICE NEEDS HAS WITH THE HEALTH SYSTEM IS THROUGH AN EMERGENCY ROOM VISIT; HOWEVER, EMERGENCY MEDICAL PROVIDERS ARE LIMITED IN THEIR CAPACITY TO HELP ADDRESS BROADER SOCIAL SERVICES NEEDS. RECOGNIZING THIS, NMCDH IMPLEMENTED THE ENGAGE DUPAGE PROGRAM IN COLLABORATION WITH THE DUPAGE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO PROVIDE INTERVENTION SERVICES TO PATIENTS NEEDING ASSISTANCE CONNECTING WITH MEDICAL HOMES, SUPPORTIVE HOUSING, SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION PROGRAMS AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. THROUGH ENGAGE DUPAGE, NMCDH STAFF ACTIVELY ASSISTS DUPAGE COUNTY RESIDENTS IN COMPLETING NMHC FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATIONS AS WELL AS ENROLLING IN OTHER AVAILABLE PROGRAMS. IN FISCAL YEAR 2016, THE ENGAGE DUPAGE PROGRAM AT NMCDH SUCCESSFULLY ASSISTED 260 PATIENTS IN COMPLETING NMHC FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATIONS, COMPLETED 1,128 MEDICAID APPLICATIONS, CONNECTED 116 FAMILIES WITH SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (SNAP) BENEFITS AND MADE 194 CONNECTIONS TO DUPAGE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT FOR CLINICAL SERVICES. NORTHWESTERN FOLLOW-UP CLINIC HAVING AN ESTABLISHED MEDICAL HOME IS CRITICAL TO BOTH MAINTAINING GOOD HEALTH AND EFFECTIVELY ACCESSING THE BROADER HEALTHCARE SYSTEM. THOSE WITHOUT A PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER OFTEN SEEK CARE IN HOSPITAL EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS, FOR BOTH ROUTINE ILLNESSES AND TREATMENT OF UNMANAGED CHRONIC MEDICAL CONDITIONS. BECAUSE HOSPITAL EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS ARE DESIGNED FOR TREATMENT AND STABILIZATION OF ACUTE EPISODES OF INJURY AND ILLNESS, THEY ARE NOT POSITIONED TO PROVIDE PRIMARY CARE OR THE KIND OF ONGOING CARE NEEDED BY PATIENTS WITH COMPLEX OR CHRONIC ILLNESSES. PATIENTS SEEN IN AN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT ARE TYPICALLY INSTRUCTED TO SCHEDULE FOLLOW-UP CARE WITH THEIR MEDICAL HOME. WHEN PATIENTS DO NOT HAVE AN ESTABLISHED MEDICAL HOME WHETHER DUE TO LACK OF HEALTH INSURANCE OR GAPS OR CHANGES IN NETWORK COVERAGE OR IF THEY EXPERIENCE ANY OF A NUMBER OF PSYCHOSOCIAL, FINANCIAL, LANGUAGE OR LITERACY CHALLENGES, IT IS UNLIKELY THAT FOLLOW-UP CARE WILL BE A PRIORITY AND THEY MANY NOT SEEK IT IN A TIMELY MANNER OR AT ALL. ALL OF THIS CONTRIBUTES TO THE DETRIMENTAL CYCLE OF SEEKING CARE IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT WITHOUT THE BENEFIT OF ONGOING CARE FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF CHRONIC OR COMPLEX MEDICAL CONDITIONS, WHICH THEN OFTEN WORSEN. IN RESPONSE TO THE NEED TO HELP PATIENTS CONNECT WITH A CONSISTENT MEDICAL HOME FOLLOWING EMERGENCY VISITS, NMH DEVELOPED AND OPENED THE NORTHWESTERN FOLLOW-UP CLINIC (NFC). THE NFC IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE A BRIDGE BETWEEN EMERGENCY ROOM CARE AND ONGOING CARE WITH A PERMANENT MEDICAL HOME. ACCESS TO THE NFC BEGINS IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT OR THE INPATIENT UNIT IF A PATIENT IS IDENTIFIED AS NOT HAVING A MEDICAL HOME. IN THESE CASES, NMH STAFF ASSIST PATIENTS IN SCHEDULING A FOLLOW-UP APPOINTMENT AT THE NFC AS PART OF THE DISCHARGE PROCESS. AT THE NFC, A BOARD-CERTIFIED INTERNAL MEDICINE PHYSICIAN OR AN ADVANCED PRACTICE NURSE TAKES A COMPREHENSIVE MEDICAL HISTORY AND PROVIDES FOLLOW-UP CARE FOR AS MANY ENCOUNTERS AS ARE NECESSARY TO ENSURE MEDICAL STABILITY, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PATIENTS ABILITY TO PAY, INCLUDING PROVIDING MEDICALLY NECESSARY MEDICATION AT LOW OR NO COST. WHEN A PATIENT IS MEDICALLY STABLE AND HAS ESTABLISHED A COMPLETE MEDICAL HISTORY, INITIATING A RELATIONSHIP WITH A PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER CAN BE EFFECTIVELY FACILITATED. SOCIAL WORKERS AT THE NFC PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL, PSYCHOSOCIAL AND LITERACY SUPPORT AND ASSIST PATIENTS IN IDENTIFYING AND INITIATING CONTACT WITH THE PERMANENT PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER OR CLINIC W

Explanation

Monitoring use of Grant funds

THE MAJORITY OF THE GRANTS FROM THE NORTHWESTERN MEMORIAL HEALTHCARE GROUP ARE ADMINISTERED THROUGH NORTHWESTERN MEMORIAL FOUNDATION ("NMF"). NMF MAINTAINS DETAILED RECORDS AND INTERNAL CONTROL PROCEDURES TO ENSURE GRANT RECIPIENTS ARE QUALIFIED, AWARD AMOUNTS ARE DOCUMENTED AND SELECTION CRITERIA ARE CLEAR. ONCE A GRANT HAS BEEN AWARDED, NMF INITIATES A WRITTEN AGREEMENT WITH THE GRANT RECIPIENT THAT INCORPORATES A BUDGET AND TIME PERIOD FOR SPENDING THE GRANT DOLLARS. REASONABLE DIRECT COSTS, SUPPORTED BY DIRECT BUDGET JUSTIFICATION AND RELATED TO THE PROJECT'S PURPOSE, ARE ALLOWABLE. RECIPIENTS AGREE TO ABIDE BY THE BUDGET AND ALL RELEVANT POLICIES IN EFFECT AT NORTHWESTERN MEMORIAL HEALTHCARE. GRANT EXPENDITURES ARE MONITORED FOR COMPLIANCE WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE AGREEMENTS, AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR TO ENSURE THAT BUDGETS ARE FOLLOWED AND EXPENSES ARE APPROPRIATE. AT THE END OF EACH BUDGET PERIOD, NMF REQUIRES THE GRANT RECIPIENT TO SUBMIT A WRITTEN NARRATIVE AND FINANCIAL REPORT OUTLINING PROJECT ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND HOW THE GRANT DOLLARS WERE EXPENDED. UNEXPENDED FUNDS ARE RETURNED TO NMF. GRANTS PROVIDED BY NORTHWESTERN MEMORIAL HOSPITAL AND NORTHWESTERN LAKE FOREST HOSPITAL TO OTHER QUALIFYING TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS ARE SUPPORTED BY A GRANT AGREEMENT THAT DEFINES ANY RESTRICTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE GRANT AND ANY RELATED REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. THE GUIDING PHILOSOPHY OF CDH-DELNOR HEALTH SYSTEM'S CHARITABLE GRANT ACTIVITY IS TO NOT ONLY CONTRIBUTE OUR OWN RESOURCES, BUT TO ACTIVELY ENGAGE PARTNERS TO ASSESS, PLAN FOR AND MEET COMMUNITY HEALTH AND MEDICAL NEEDS. CDH-DELNOR HEALTH SYSTEM WORKS VERY CLOSELY WITH ITS PARTNERS IN THE PROGRAMS THAT ARE SUPPORTED, IN PART, BY CDH-DELNOR HEALTH SYSTEM. MONITORING THE USE OF GRANT FUNDS IS ACHIEVED THROUGH VARIOUS MEANS, INCLUDING ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION, WRITTEN CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS, PERFORMANCE REPORTS AND BOARD PARTICIPATION IN SOME INSTANCES.
