DIABETES FIELD TRIPS FOR LOCAL TEACHERS TOOK PLACE AND MANY RADIO SPOTS DISCUSSED DIABETES AWARENESS AND PREVENTION, INCLUDING WEIGHT LOSS TOPICS. OUR TEAM MEMBERS ARE INVOLVED WITH A LOCAL DIABETES ASSOCIATION SUPPORT GROUP AND HVMC PROVIDES FREE MEETING SPACE FOR THE KINGSPORT DIABETES ASSOCIATION'S MONTHLY MEETINGS. -OUR TRAUMA TEAM REMAINED VERY ACTIVE THROUGHOUT FY2018. THEY OFFERED EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND "STOP THE BLEED" COURSES TO TEACH PEOPLE HOW TO RESPOND TO POTENTIAL LIFE-THREATENING BLOOD LOSS. RADIO SEGMENTS COVERED INJURY PREVENTION AND OTHER TOPICS RELATED TO TRAUMA EVENTS. -WE OFFERED A SUPPORT GROUP FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE UNDERGONE BARIATRIC WEIGHT-LOSS SURGERY AND THOSE CONSIDERING THE PROCEDURE. TO ADDRESS THE HIGH OBESITY RATE IN OUR COMMUNITY, WHICH OFTEN RESULTS IN DIABETES, HOLSTON VALLEY MEDICAL CENTER (HVMC) OPERATES A COMPREHENSIVE WEIGHT MANAGEMENT CENTER. THE CENTER OFFERS WEIGHT LOSS SOLUTIONS BY A HIGHLY TRAINED STAFF, WEIGHT-LOSS RESOURCES AND TIPS TO HELP PATIENTS SUCCEED LONG-TERM. THE CENTER ALSO OFFERS A SUPPORT GROUP FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD BARIATRIC SURGERY. HOLSTON VALLEY MEDICAL CENTER OPERATES A DIABETES TREATMENT CENTER. THE CENTER OFFERS DIABETES SERVICES AND FREE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS. DIETITIANS, NURSES AND CERTIFIED DIABETES EDUCATORS TEACH ABOUT TOPICS SUCH AS PREPARING NUTRITIOUS MEALS, TRACKING BLOOD SUGAR, REDUCING DIABETES' LONG- TERM EFFECTS, AND OTHER DIABETES RELATED TOPICS. WELLMONT HEALTH SYSTEM INCLUDES THE HOSPITALS REPORTED IN THIS FORM 990 AND ITS CORPORATE DEPARTMENT. MOST OF THE CHARITABLE DONATIONS MADE DURING THE YEAR ARE REPORTED IN THE CORPORATE DEPARTMENT RATHER THAN BY ONE OF THE HOSPITALS. MORE DETAIL OF WELLMONT HEALTH SYSTEM'S CHARITABLE DONATIONS DURING THE YEAR IS REPORTED IN THE FORM 990, PART III NARRATIVE INCLUDED IN SCHEDULE O. MANY ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY NEEDS EXIST IN OUR REGION. IT IS FISCALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR A HOSPITAL TO ADDRESS EVERY HEALTH NEED IN A COMMUNITY, WHICH IS WHY THE CHNA PROCESS IS USED TO IDENTIFY AND PRIORITIZE AREAS OF FOCUS. A THOUGHTFUL CHNA EVALUATES OVERALL COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS TO DETERMINE WHICH ONES THE HOSPITAL CAN BEST INFLUENCE IN A POSITIVE WAY. CONSIDERATION IS GIVEN TO OTHER ORGANIZATIONS IN THE HOSPITAL'S GEOGRAPHIC AREA THAT ALREADY OFFER SERVICES ADDRESSING SPECIFIC HEALTH NEEDS. IN SOME CASES, IT IS BEST TO SIMPLY SUPPORT AN IDENTIFIED HEALTH NEED THROUGH A FINANCIAL DONATION TO ANOTHER NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION SKILLED IN CERTAIN AREAS: TEEN PREGNANCY, DENTAL HEALTH, FIGHTING HOMELESSNESS, ETC. HOSPITALS ALSO LEND SUPPORT TO OTHER NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS BY SERVING ON THEIR BOARDS, COMMITTEES, AND ASSISTING WITH FUNDRAISING EFFORTS.

Form and Line Reference Explanation
PART I, LINE 3C - OTHER INCOME BASED CRITERIA FOR FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPROVAL CAN APPLY TO AN ASSORTMENT OF PATIENTS SUCH AS THOSE WHO HAVE EXHAUSTED THEIR TENNCARE/MEDICAID BENEFITS, THOSE WHO QUALIFIED FOR TENNCARE/MEDICAID AFTER THE DATE OF SERVICE, DECEASED PATIENTS WITH NO ESTATE OR ASSETS, UNINSURED PATIENTS, AND UNDERINSURED PATIENTS. WHILE BALLAD HEALTH'S QUALIFICATIONS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS BASED ON FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES, ASSET VALUES MAY ALSO BE USED TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY. UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCES MAY BE ASSESSED ON A CASE-BY- CASE BASIS. CHARITY APPROVAL COVERS ALL DATES OF SERVICE FOR THE PATIENT WHEN THEY ARE APPROVED AND THERE IS NO LIMITATION OR CAP ON THE AMOUNT OF CHARITY THAT A PATIENT MAY RECEIVE. BALLAD HEALTH HOSPITALS DO NOT STOP APPROVING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR PATIENT ACCOUNTS IF A HOSPITAL'S CHARITY WRITE-OFFS EXCEED THE HOSPITAL'S CHARITY BUDGET. ALL BALLAD HEALTH HOSPITALS PROVIDE AN UNINSURED DISCOUNT. THE CURRENT UNINSURED DISCOUNT IS 74% FOR ALL WELLMONT HEALTH SYSTEM HOSPITALS. IN ADDITION TO THE UNINSURED DISCOUNT, MANY PATIENTS WILL FURTHER QUALIFY FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ALL PATIENTS SEEKING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE MUST SUBMIT AN APPLICATION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND SUBMIT DOCUMENTS IN SUPPORT OF THE INFORMATION ON THE APPLICATION, UNLESS SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED PER OUR POLICY GUIDELINES. MEDICAID ELIGIBLE PATIENTS WILL QUALIFY FOR 100% FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND NOT BE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION WHEN: A) MEDICAID ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS ARE MET AFTER THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED, B) NON-COVERED CHARGES OCCUR ON A MEDICAID ELIGIBLE ENCOUNTER, OR C) BENEFITS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED. DECEASED PATIENTS WITH NO ESTATE ALSO QUALIFY FOR 100% FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DETERMINATIONS MAY BE RETROACTIVE FOR ALL OUTSTANDING BALANCES. IN ADDITION, WE HAVE A NUMBER OF PROGRAMS WITH SPECIAL DISCOUNTS SUCH AS LACTATION CONSULTATION SERVICES, ONCOLOGY TREATMENT REGIMENS, ENROLLMENT IN VARIOUS COMMUNITY PROGRAMS, AND PRESCRIPTION DRUGS FILLED POST-DISCHARGE.
PART I, LINE 7 - COSTING METHODOLOGY EXPLANATION A COST TO CHARGE RATIO WAS USED TO COMPUTE THE COST RELATED TO FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE (CHARITY) WRITE-OFFS (LINE 7A) AND THE HOSPITALS' LOSS RELATED TO TENNCARE/MEDICAID SERVICES (LINE 7B). COSTS REPORTED IN THE OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFIT CATEGORIES WERE NOT INCLUDED WHEN COMPUTING THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO IN ORDER TO AVOID DUPLICATION OF COST. COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT (LINE 7E) AND RESEARCH (LINE 7H) REPORT ACTUAL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES. GENERALLY, THESE COSTS ARE WELL DEFINED IN A SPECIFIC COST CENTER (HOSPITAL DEPARTMENT). LINE 7F HEALTH PROFESSIONS EDUCATION IS COMPRISED OF INTERNSHIPS (PRIMARILY INTERNAL MEDICINE RESIDENTS, NURSING, PHARMACY, AND THERAPY STUDENTS) WITH SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES, ALLOWING THEIR HEALTH PROFESSION STUDENTS TO GET HANDS-ON TRAINING IN A HOSPITAL SETTING. OUR MEDICARE-APPROVED PROGRAMS INCLUDE MEDICAL RESIDENTS AND PHARMACY. FOR THESE PROGRAMS, MEDICARE-APPROVED COSTS AND MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENT COMES FROM FILED MEDICARE COST REPORTS. OUR ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT (OD) MAINTAINS RECORDS FOR THE NON-MEDICARE PROGRAMS. OD KEEPS RECORDS OF THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS RECEIVING TRAINING AT OUR HOSPITALS AND THE AMOUNT OF HOURS THE STUDENTS SPEND AT OUR HOSPITALS. HOURS MAY DIFFER BASED ON THE SCHOOL AND THE TYPE OF PROGRAM (RN, RADIOLOGY, LAB, ETC.). THE NUMBER OF TEAM MEMBERS THAT PROVIDE TRAINING TO STUDENTS WILL ALSO VARY BASED ON WHERE THE STUDENT IS TRAINING. FOR EXAMPLE, AN RN TRAINER ON A MEDICAL FLOOR MAY HAVE 3 OR 4 STUDENTS UNDER HER/HIS DIRECTION, WHILE AN RN TRAINER IN A SPECIALTY AREA SUCH AS ICU OR THE ER MAY BE TRAINING ONE-ON-ONE WITH A SINGLE STUDENT. WE ONLY INCLUDE LABOR COSTS FOR OUR HOSPITAL TEAM MEMBERS THAT PROVIDE TRAINING (I.E. NO OVERHEAD IS APPLIED) AND WE ONLY ATTRIBUTE A PERCENTAGE OF OUR TEAM MEMBERS' TIME TO ACTUAL TRAINING. CONTRIBUTIONS (LINE 7I)REPRESENT CASH DONATIONS AND MEDICAL SUPPLIES MADE TO OTHER NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THAT SUPPORT COMMUNITY WELLNESS.

SOME ALSO SERVE AS MEMBERS AND CONSULTANTS ON PROFESSIONAL COMMITTEES AND TASK FORCES THAT AFFECT REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN HEALTHCARE AND EDUCATION. WE DO NOT CAPTURE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH TEAM MEMBERS THAT SERVE ON OTHER NONPROFIT BOARDS OR PROVIDE SERVICES TO OTHER NONPROFITS. COMMUNITY BUILDING REPORTED ON THIS RETURN INCLUDES CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS TO NONPROFITS DIRECTED TO PROVIDING MENTORING PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS, WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AND OTHER PROGRAMS SPECIFIC TO CHILDREN.

Return Reference Explanation
FORM 990, PAGE 1, ITEM C HOLSTON VALLEY MEDICAL CENTER; LONESOME PINE HOSPITAL; MOUNTAIN VIEW REGIONAL MEDICAL CTR; HANCOCK COUNTY HOSPITAL
FORM 990, PART III IN ADDITION TO THE HOSPITALS IN THIS RETURN WHS ALSO OPERATES: -TAKOMA REGIONAL HOSPITAL IN GREENEVILLE, TENNESSEE (SEPARATE FORM 990) -HAWKINS COUNTY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL IN ROGERSVILLE, TENNESSEE (SEPARATE FORM 990) SPECIFIC TO THE HOSPITALS INCLUDED IN THIS FORM 990, WE PROVIDED SERVICES TO 39,045 INPATIENTS, 149,813 EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS, 1,994 NEWBORN DELIVERIES AND 21,019 SURGERIES. IN APRIL 2015, WHS AND MOUNTAIN STATES HEALTH ALLIANCE (MSHA) ANNOUNCED THEIR INTENT TO MERGE. MSHA OPERATES 12 HOSPITALS INCLUDING A LARGE TERTIARY HOSPITAL WITH A LEVEL I TRAUMA CENTER, A DEDICATED CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL AND AN INPATIENT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH HOSPITAL, SEVERAL COMMUNITY HOSPITALS, TWO CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITALS, THREE LONG-TERM CARE FACILITIES, HOME CARE AND HOSPICE SERVICES, A COMPREHENSIVE MEDICAL MANAGEMENT CORPORATION AND OTHER HEALTH CARE BUSINESSES IN TENNESSEE AND VIRGINIA. IN SEPTEMBER 2017, TENNESSEE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH OFFICIALS GRANTED THE TWO ORGANIZATIONS THE CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC ADVANTAGE (COPA) AND THE SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA HEALTH AUTHORITY UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT IN VIRGINIA. THE MERGER, DISCUSSED IN MORE DETAIL BELOW, WAS FINALIZED WITH A CLOSE DATE OF FEBRUARY 1, 2018. THE GOVERNING BOARDS OF WELLMONT HEALTH SYSTEM AND MOUNTAIN STATES HEALTH ALLIANCE VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO APPROVE THE FINAL TERMS TO GOVERN THE MERGER OF THE TWO HEALTH SYSTEMS. THE NEW HEALTH SYSTEM, NAMED BALLAD HEALTH, SERVES THE 1.2 MILLION RESIDENTS OF NORTHEAST TENNESSEE AND SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA. THE TRANSACTION CREATING THE NEW ORGANIZATION OFFICIALLY BECAME EFFECTIVE ON FEBRUARY 1, 2018. THE FINAL VOTE MARKED THE END OF A NEARLY FOUR-YEAR MERGER PROCESS THAT BEGAN WHEN MOUNTAIN STATES RESPONDED TO A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FROM WELLMONT INVITING HEALTH SYSTEMS TO OUTLINE POTENTIAL PARTNERSHIPS. THE WELLMONT BOARD SELECTED THE PROPOSAL FROM MOUNTAIN STATES BECAUSE OF ITS UNIQUE VISION TO CREATE A HEALTH IMPROVEMENT ORGANIZATION, LIMIT HEALTH CARE PRICING GROWTH, MAINTAIN LOCAL GOVERNANCE, AND INVEST IN THE REGION. THE PROPOSED MERGER DREW BROAD SUPPORT FROM EMPLOYERS AND BUSINESS LEADERS, THE REGION'S CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE, LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND THE LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION. LEGISLATION AUTHORIZED THE ISSUANCE OF A CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC ADVANTAGE (COPA) IN TENNESSEE AND A COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT IN VIRGINIA, AND REPRESENTS THE FIRST TRANSACTION OF ITS KIND TO INVOLVE APPROVAL AND SUPERVISION FROM TWO STATES. IT IS THE LARGEST COPA-GOVERNED MERGER IN THE COUNTRY TO DATE. LOCAL LEADERS RECOGNIZED THAT OUR HISTORICALLY FRAGMENTED APPROACH TO HEALTHCARE WAS NOT DOING ENOUGH TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH, AND WAS NOT HELPING CONTAIN HEALTH COSTS. THE OPPORTUNITY WITH THIS MERGER IS MUCH MORE IMPACTFUL - SOLVING PROBLEMS, ATTRACTING WORLD-CLASS TALENT, INVESTING IN RESEARCH, AND REFOCUSING OUR LIMITED RESOURCES ON SERVICES THE COMMUNITY NEEDS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN AVAILABLE IN OUR REGION. ULTIMATELY, THE COMMON THEME DEVELOPED DURING THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS WAS THAT THE BEST SOLUTION WOULD BE FOR THE TWO SYSTEMS TO WORK TOGETHER TO CONTROL OUR OWN DESTINY. AS A LARGER REGIONAL HEALTH SYSTEM, WE WILL BE BETTER POSITIONED TO COMPETE FOR TOP TALENT AND SERVICES AND THE POTENTIAL FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH AND SUSTAINABILITY IN OUR REGION WILL BE MORE ACHIEVABLE. TIGHT OVERSIGHT IMPOSED BY TENNESSEE AND VIRGINIA DEPARTMENTS OF HEALTH IS ANOTHER UNPRECEDENTED ASPECT OF THE MERGER. BALLAD HEALTH WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH TENNESSEE AND VIRGINIA MONITORS TO ENSURE WE COMPLY WITH AGREED-UPON TERMS WITH THE TWO STATES. MONITORS FROM THE STATES WILL BE THE INVESTIGATIVE ARM OUTSIDE OF BALLAD HEALTH WHO WILL CONTINUALLY MONITOR THE PUBLIC ADVANTAGE OF BALLAD HEALTH AND OUR COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS OF CERTIFICATION. TENNESSEE'S STATE HEALTH COMMISSIONER APPOINTED A LOCAL ADVISORY COUNCIL, WITH MEMBERS COMING FROM A RANGE OF ORGANIZATIONS AND BACKGROUNDS, ALL LIVING WITHIN BALLAD HEALTH'S GEOGRAPHIC SERVICE AREA. AT THE END OF OUR FISCAL YEAR, VIRGINIA'S DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH SOUTHWEST HEALTH AUTHORITY TO ACT AS THE LOCAL ADVISORY COUNCIL, INCLUDING THE POWER TO APPOINT COMMITTEES. THESE LOCAL COUNCILS/COMMITTEES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR FACILITATING INPUT FROM LOCAL STAKEHOLDERS AND PATIENTS, THEY WILL MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOW POPULATION HEALTH INITIATIVE FUNDS SHOULD BE SPENT AND WILL HOST AN ANNUAL PUBLIC HEARING TO GATHER LOCAL FEEDBACK. IN ADDITION, BALLAD HEALTH IS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE IN-DEPTH QUARTERLY AND ANNUAL REPORTING TO THE DEPARTMENTS OF HEALTH. ALTHOUGH THE LEGACY MOUNTAIN STATES AND WELLMONT SYSTEMS ARE GIVING UP SOME AUTONOMY IN LOCAL GOVERNANCE, BALLAD HEALTH'S LEADERSHIP BELIEVES THE EXTREME SCRUTINY BALANCES OUT WITH THE BENEFITS OF THE MERGER. PROMOTE COMMUNITY HEALTH: THE WELLMONT HEALTH COACH IS PART OF WELLMONT'S ONGOING EFFORTS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITIES AND ENCOURAGE WELLNESS IN THE MOUNTAINS OF NORTHEAST TENNESSEE AND SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA. FUNDED BY COMMUNITY SUPPORT THROUGH WELLMONT FOUNDATION, THE COACH OFFERS A HOST OF COMPREHENSIVE SCREENINGS THAT HELP IDENTIFY POTENTIAL HEALTH PROBLEMS. THE MOBILE SCREENING VEHICLE CHECKS PATIENTS FOR A BROAD SPECTRUM OF MEDICAL ISSUES - FROM BREAST CANCER TO LUNG CONDITIONS TO HEART DISEASE. IT PROVIDES AN AVENUE FOR CAREGIVERS TO IDENTIFY HEALTH RISKS EARLIER, WHEN CONDITIONS CAN BE MORE EASILY AND EFFECTIVELY TREATED. OUR UNREIMBURSED COST TO OPERATE THE HEALTH COACH WAS 84,413 THIS YEAR. THE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICAN MEDICAL COLLEGES (AAMC) ISSUED A PRESS RELEASE DATED APRIL 11, 2018 STATING THAT THE UNITED STATES COULD SEE A SHORTAGE OF UP TO 120,000 PHYSICIANS BY 2030. THE U.S. POPULATION IS ESTIMATED TO GROW BY NEARLY 11%, WITH THOSE OVER AGE 65 INCREASING 50% BY 2030. MUCH OF THE INCREASED DEMAND COMES FROM A GROWING, AGING POPULATION. THE AGING POPULATION WILL ALSO AFFECT PHYSICIAN SUPPLY SINCE ONE-THIRD OF ALL CURRENTLY ACTIVE DOCTORS WILL BE OLDER THAN 65 IN THE NEXT DECADE AND LIKELY TO RETIRE. THE AAMC POINTS OUT THAT DATA CONDUCTED IN 2017 INDICATED THAT AN ADDITIONAL 31,600 PHYSICIANS WOULD HAVE BEEN NEEDED IF UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS UTILIZED THE SAME HEALTH CARE SERVICES AS INSURED INDIVIDUALS. THE DATA LOOKED AT PEOPLE IN NON-METROPOLITAN AREAS AND PEOPLE WITHOUT INSURANCE COMPARED TO PEOPLE LIVING IN METROPOLITAN AREAS. FURTHERMORE, THE STUDY INDICATED NEARLY HALF OF THE SHORTAGE WAS IN THE SOUTH. WHS SPENT 3.6 MILLION DURING FY18 TO RECRUIT AND RETAIN PHYSICIANS AND MID-LEVEL PROVIDERS SUCH AS NURSE PRACTITIONERS AND PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS. WHS RECRUITMENT EFFORTS ARE BASED ON DOCUMENTED COMMUNITY NEED. WHS'S HOSPITALS ARE ALL LOCATED IN MUAS (MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREAS/POPULATIONS), AS DESIGNATED BY THE U.S. HEALTH RESOURCES & SERVICES ADMINISTRATION (HRSA). MUA DESIGNATION INDICATES AN AREA AS: HAVING TOO FEW PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS, HAVING A HIGH INFANT MORTALITY, A HIGH POVERTY RATE OR A HIGH ELDERLY POPULATION. WHS HOSPITALS' MUA PERCENTAGES, BASED ON INPATIENT DISCHARGES FROM OUR HOSPITALS, RANGE FROM 66.4% (LONESOME PINE HOSPITAL) TO 100% (HANCOCK COUNTY HOSPITAL). WELLMONTONE AIR TRANSPORT IS CONSIDERED BY WELLMONT TO BE A REGIONAL ASSET. LICENSED IN TENNESSEE, THE AIR AMBULANCE PROVIDES TRANSPORT OF CRITICALLY ILL AND INJURED PATIENTS TO ONE OF THE CLOSEST TERTIARY HOSPITALS IN THE REGION. THE UNREIMBURSED COST WELLMONT INCURRED THIS YEAR TO PROVIDE THIS RAPID RESPONSE EMERGENCY SERVICE WAS 422,366. WE ALSO PROVIDED STAFFING, PHYSICIAN FEES, MEDICAL SUPPLIES AND OTHER EXPENSES TO THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA FOR VIRGINIA'S MED-FLIGHT AIR AMBULANCE SERVICE. WELLMONT'S EXPENSE TO PROVIDE THESE SERVICES AND SUPPLIES WAS 714,359 DURING FY18. OUR ORGANIZATION OFFERS TO THE COMMUNITY WELLMONT NURSE CONNECT, A 24-HOUR TOLL-FREE HEALTH INFORMATION LINE SUPPORTED BY REGISTERED NURSES WHO PROVIDE NURSE TRIAGE WITH MEDICALLY APPROVED TRIAGE GUIDELINES, HEALTH INFORMATION AND EDUCATION, REGISTRATION FOR CLASSES AND SCREENINGS, AND REFERRALS TO EXTERNAL RESOURCES SUCH AS POISON CONTROL AND CRISIS INTERVENTION. WELLMONT NURSE CONNECT RECEIVES MORE THAN 11,000 CALLS PER MONTH, AND ITS DIRECT COST WAS 156,000 THIS YEAR. WELLMONT SUPPORTS ITS PARISH NURSE PROGRAM, WHICH IS DESIGNED TO GENERALLY IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS THROUGH SCREENING PROGRAMS, EDUCATIONAL SEMINARS, DISTRIBUTION OF HEALTH LITERATURE AND THE PROVISION OF SUPPORTIVE SERVICES TO THOSE IN NEED. THE COST TO PROVIDE THIS PROGRAM WAS 68,736. OUR AREA IS SOMETIMES REFERRED TO AS THE "DIABETES BELT" DUE TO THE HIGH NUMBER OF RESIDENTS WITH DIABETES. OUR DIABETES TREATMENT CENTERS, AVAILABLE AT BRISTOL REGIONAL AND HOLSTON VALLEY MEDICAL CENTERS, ARE ACCREDITED BY THE AMERICAN DIABETES ASSOCIATION. SELF-MANAGEMENT CLASSES, OFFERED FREE OF CHARGE, ARE TAUGHT BY SPECIALLY TRAINED REGISTERED NURSES, DIETITIANS AND CERTIFIED DIABETES EDUCATORS. FOR THOSE WHO PREFER ONE-ON- ONE COUNSELING INSTEAD OF CLASSES, THE CENTER WILL ACCOMMODATE FOR THAT. DIABETES
