| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description | OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: In addition to helping them get appointments and manage their medications they also help patients get discounts and financial aid for their medications. Matt says many of their patients pay nothing out of pocket for drugs that can cost up to 20 thousand dollars a month. And they can get their drugs, in many cases, on the same day that they go in for their treatment, unlike through mail order pharmacies which can sometimes take several weeks.My hope would be that patients feel supported and feel very comfortable reaching out to us. They are the reason why were here and I want them to feel very comfortable, explained Renee. Its clear she achieved that goal with Lori. It just makes me smile to think of her, Lori says about Renee.The oral oncology pharmacy management program launched in January 2018 at Northern Light Health Eastern Maine Medical Center. There are plans to expand it to other Northern Light hospitals soon.A New SolutionUsing data to improve population health Her alarm sounds at 5:30 in the morning, signaling the all too sudden start to another busy day. Like most single moms, Bre Erickson does a lot of juggling. Her first order of the day is motivating her sleepy six-year-old son, Owen, to get out of bed. Owen is an active boy with dirty blonde hair, deep brown eyes, and a heartwarming smile that his mom coaxes out of him as she stands behind him, squeezes him with a hug, and plants a kiss on his cheek. He likes to sleep in, so hes a tough one to get going in the morning. We get ready, kennel the dogs, and head off to daycare or rec or whatever is on the agenda for the day. Then I go to work sometimes in Greenville, sometimes in Pittsfield, explains Bre. She serves as communications manager for two Northern Light Health hospitalsCA Dean Hospital in Greenville and Sebasticook Valley Hospital in Pittsfield. Its a hectic balance, managing her career and her time with her son.Time with him is very important, and its limited because youre working 40 hours a week and traveling a minimum of 50 miles a day on top of that.While Bre wants to take care of herself, she doesnt want to sacrifice any more time with Owen. So, she is happy to have her medical needs met close to home. In addition to a primary care provider, she also has an OB/GYN physician who sees her in GreenvilleKyrsten Sutton, MD.When you live in rural Maine, you have to make some sacrifices, and its nice that these women dont need to make sacrifices in their healthcare and can get quality healthcare close to home, Dr. Sutton explains.Dr. Sutton is an employee of Mayo Regional Hospital, but under a clinical affiliation agreement between Mayo and Northern Light Health, she travels to Northern Light Health Center in Greenville to see patients like Bre once a month. She also sees patients at the Northern Light Health Center in Sangerville once a month.If not for this partnership between Mayo and CA Dean, many women from the Greenville and Sangerville areas of Piscataquis County would have to travel to Bangor or Pittsfield for their OB/GYN care. Megan Ryder, who is the practice director for the Northern Light Health Center, Greenville, says Mayo and Northern Light Health formed this partnership for the greater good of the people of Piscataquis County.We have the patients that needed that gynecology service, and we have space in this brand-new expansion in Sangerville and in our clinic in Greenville. Mayo had the gynecologist. So, just combining our resources made a great service line for both of our hospitals, explains Megan.Megan says CA Dean did need the proof that their alliance with Mayo would meet the need in a cost-effective way for both hospitals, so they turned to Beacon Health, the population health office of Northern Light Health.The mission of Beacon Health is to analyze claims data and find ways to improve population health for the various regions of our state. Patients in the Sangerville and Greenville areas sometimes travel up to 90 minutes each way to get this care and thats a real burden for patients, especially in winter when they might have to make several visits in a short period of time. And if that means missing work, they might skip those appointments and not get the care they need, explains Will Seavery, PharmD, BCPS, associate vice president of Population Health for Beacon Health, adding that the data showed the need existed and the care could be provided if Northern Light Health could partner with Mayo.Bre is grateful that the partnership is making healthcare work for not only her, but all her friends and neighbors in Greenville. Following a recent visit with Dr. Sutton, she was able to pick up Owen from daycare and head over to the playground at his school. She watched him navigate the maze of obstacles, slide down the slide and climb back up, and then she pushed him on the swings. As he laughed, Bre cracked a smile of her own from ear to earleaving no mystery as to where Owen gets his heartwarming smile.Its so important to have healthcare close to home because its not only difficult for me to take time from my work schedule but time away from my son. So, if you dont have healthcare here in this area, you can lose an entire day once you figure in a couple of hours of travel and the time of the appointment, Bre says, and I feel like Northern Light Health really gets that.A New ReachUsing telemedicine to treat sleep disordersArtemas Coffin and his wife, Rosemary, walk with a spring in their step as they navigate the wooded pathways behind their farmhouse in Ashland. Leaping down the path ahead of them is their giant malamute, Bullet, a rescue dog that has found a new, loving home with the Coffins. They are each dressed in jeans and matching green t-shirts, embroidered with an American Flag that Art sewed himself. He keeps us busy, Rosemary explains as she pats the scruff of Bullets neck.Art and Rosemary are retired. They worked at the Aroostook County Sheriffs Department and Art also worked at a sawmill. They like to keep busy in retirement. In addition to taking Bullet for walks, Rosemary enjoys working in her vegetable gardens and Art enjoys riding around on his four-wheeler. They have the energy to enjoy their hobbies, in large part, due to Arts decision (at Rosemarys insistence) to seek treatment for a medical condition known as obstructive sleep apnea. I wasnt resting. I could be at work standing at the lathe and go to sleep standing up, Art recalls. Art was tired during the day because he wasnt sleeping well at night. He said that due to his condition, he would stop breathing as many as 60 times an hour and wake up gasping for breath. In addition to that, he would snore so loudly it would keep Rosemary awake. I could not rest because he was either snoring and keeping me awake, or I was laying there awake so I could poke him when he didnt breathe, Rosemary recalls.Finally, Art made an appointment to see David Weed, DO, a physician who is board-certified in sleep medicine by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, and heads the Sleep Medicine program at Northern Light AR Gould Hospital in Presque Isle. Art Coffin came to me many years ago with symptoms of daytime tiredness and fatigue, Dr. Weed recalls. He was the first patient we saw here.AR Goulds Sleep Medicine Program has evolved considerably since then. It now includes a state-of-the-art four-bed sleep disorders center that is fully accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Dr. Weed conducts sleep studies for patients like Art Coffin in the sleep center. You go there, and you sleep for eight hours or thereabouts, and they have you hooked up and monitor your breathing and your pulse and respiration, Art said. Dr. Weed was able to diagnose Art with obstructive sleep apnea and get him set up with a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine, a device which increases air pressure in the throat so that the airway does not collapse when a person breathes in. It took a little while to get used to it, the constant pressure, says Art. Now when I go to bed, I put the mask on and the machine starts automatically, and I get a good nights sleep.Art and Rosemarys situation is not uncommon. In fact, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, one out of every three Americans report not getting enough sleep. We know that untreated sleep apnea is associated with diabetes, high-blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, memory change, anxiety, depression, and irritability; a lot of patients would describe themselves as being in a fog, says Dr. Weed.Because sleep disorders are such a widespread concern, Northern Light Health is using telemedicine to bring Dr. Weeds expertise to even more patients in Maine. Telemedicine affords us an opportunity to be more far-reaching in our effect. When I dont have to rely on the patient coming to us, I can go to them using an iPad, he says. Dr. Weed uses that iPad to chat with patients weekly at Northern Light Inland Hosp |
