| Statement of Program Service Accomplishments | FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4 2019 Group Health Cooperative of South Central Wisconsin Report of Community Giving Summary Group Health Cooperative of South Central Wisconsin cares deeply for our community. Group Health Cooperative of South Central Wisconsin (GHC-SCW) takes pride in community involvement personally and we work together with community partners to find ways to provide real and compassionate care. As one of our most honored values, caring for our community means pushing beyond the walls of our clinics and into homes, schools, community centers, worksites, neighborhoods, and places far and between. We build upon approaches that have proven successful in addressing health care needs and the individual needs of our community. We create, foster and strengthen community partnerships to make a real difference. We combine resources and work together with others in the community to make an impact where we can. The 2019 Community Giving Report is our way of sharing our role in the community. More importantly, it showcases the capacity for positive change that is only possible when community partners work together. To meet the need and make the biggest difference in our community, we focus on four strategic pillars: STRENGTHEN ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE We help create, support, and strengthen a pathway to health care for the most vulnerable in our community. SPREAD HEALTH KNOWLEDGE We increase quality of life by sharing critical clinical, technical, and general health knowledge with people living in our community. SERVE THROUGH VOLUNTEERISM We embrace volunteerism in our community to put our expertise, skills, talent, and time to use where it's needed most. SPONSOR HEALTH AND COMMUNITY INITIATIVES We provide financial sponsorships to a variety of organizations that promote health activities and initiatives that make our community better. I. STRENGTHEN ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE EYE CARE SERVICES Without good vision, many adults and children are not able to be successful at their jobs or in school. At GHC-SCW, our primary care providers along with school nurses refer patients that are uninsured to our Eye Care Center for exams and glasses. In 2019, we provided $533 in eye care services to uninsured individuals living in our community. BADGERCARE PLUS One of the most pressing issues in our community is the role that poverty plays on the health and well-being of individuals and families. In Dane County, 10.8% of the population lives below the poverty level per the most recent U.S. Census data. With the help of the state of Wisconsin's Medicaid program, BadgerCare Plus, eligible families can get the medical care they need. In 2019, we proudly served 7,805 BadgerCare Plus members. In addition, we provided $8,074,445 in care to our BadgerCare Plus members in 2019. BRIDGES TO ACCESS Many families in the Madison area do not have a safe, warm place to call home. Combine that situation with a lack of medical care and suddenly the picture gets terrible. So, in 2009, we developed the Bridges to Access program with the fundamental idea that improved access to medical care can bridge the gap between homelessness and stable housing. For up to three months, Bridges to Access provides immediate medical care to those in need, including coverage for primary care service, important medications, and assistance with transportation. And to keep them on the pathway to health care, program participants got help applying for permanent medical coverage through BadgerCare Plus. In 2019, we helped fifteen adults and their children receive real and compassionate medical care in their hour of greatest need when there was nowhere else to turn. That amounted to $12,751 in crucial health care services and medications. Throughout the year we also provided medical supplies to area shelters in the form of cold medicine, tissues, and sanitation items. |
| Statement of Program Service Accomplishments (Continued) | FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4 HEALTHCARE ACCESS PROGRAM Too many people in our community face the daily challenge of being uninsured. For a variety of reasons, access to the most basic form of primary care is out of reach. With a goal of promoting healthy outcomes for these community members, we partnered with the Dane County Health Council and other health care organizations to create the Healthcare Access Program in 2005, and the program continues today at GHC-SCW. The Healthcare Access Program gave uninsured individuals a place to call their medical home and access to a compassionate medical provider - all at no cost. Patients also receive prescription medications that they might otherwise have to go without. In 2019, GHC-SCW delivered over $33,646 in health care, including medications, to uninsured individuals living in our community. PRIMARY ACCESS FOR KIDS Children need health care to help them learn, grow and reach their full potential. Unfortunately, there are hundreds of children in our schools who do not have insurance to get basic health care. To help address this problem, the Dane County Health Council , a network of health care organizations in the Madison area, created the Primary Access for Kids program. For over a decade, GHC-SCW has been providing free checkups, immunizations and medications, as well as vision checks and glasses, for uninsured students in the Madison Metropolitan School District through Primary Access for Kids. In 2019, GHC-SCW provided 100 children with $111,373 in primary care services and medications through this program. REFUGEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM Fewer things in life are more challenging than escaping your home country in search of a better life, let alone trying to navigate a new health care system. To help ease the burden, GHC-SCW created the Refugee Assistance Program. Through the program, our new neighbors receive hours of one-on-one assistance from GHC-SCW staff whose help connected them to needed care. We served as their advocates in 2019 by setting up numerous appointments for care and follow-up care. Working with our partners from Lutheran Social Services and Jewish Social Services, we helped 73 refugees establish roots here in our community. STAY HEALTHY Without proper insurance coverage, folks can't get the most basic health services like access to a regular doctor and medications. It's the kind of preventive care that would otherwise help avoid a trip to the hospital or help manage expensive and damaging illness. So, in 2009, GHC-SCW created the Stay Healthy program to invest in our members who have fallen on hard times so their health issues could be detected and addressed sooner, rather than later. The Stay Healthy Program covered one physical exam, lab work, follow-up appointments, and medications related to the physical - all at no cost for qualified, uninsured adults who had lost their insurance coverage because of unemployment or other reasons. GHC-SCW provided primary care for twenty-one uninsured individuals in our community, amounting to $25,762 in medical services and medications. |
| Statement of Program Service Accomplishments (Continued) | Form 990, Part III, Line 4 II. SPREAD HEALTH KNOWLEDGE ADOPT A SCHOOL As an avid promoter of health knowledge, we adopted five local schools in need of health resources in 2019. Our commitment to schoolchildren was demonstrated in many ways throughout the year. We donated $19,899 to help support our five Adopt-A-School partners. GHC-SCW supports our Adopt-A-School partners in a variety of ways, including: medical supplies, clothing, and healthy snacks for nursing offices, family crock pot classes, holiday gift giving, food bank stocking, community events, and more. For fourteen years, we've worked together with the Foundation for Madison's Public Schools to bring this service to our community. ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA, WALK IT OUT Walk It Out, a community event held at Warner Park promotes physical activity among African American women. The event was focused around a 2-mile walk and 3-mile run and we provided health education opportunities for healthy cooking and a variety of healthy activities like Zumba, Yoga, and Cardio. For eleven years, we've worked together with the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority and the 100 Black Men organization to bring this service to our community. FARM FRESH PRODUCE We all know that locally grown food makes sense. But too often, low-income kids don't get the fresh fruits and vegetables they need on their plates. And getting kids to eat those vegetables can be tricky. So, we brought a regular supply of fresh, nutritious, and locally grown organic vegetables to kids at four community centers. We also taught them about where their food comes from through fun gardening activities. In total, more than 1 ton of fresh produce was distributed in 2018. And our commitment didn't stop there. For the twelve years we've worked together with Community GroundWorks, the Fair Share CSA Coalition, and Second Harvest to bring this service to our community. BRIDGING THE GAP Language access is essential for achieving health equity. Certified medical interpreters play a key role in ensuring that patients with limited English proficiency receive the health care they need. We have partnered with the Dane County Medical Interpreter Coalition for over a decade to sponsor Bridging the Gap, a training for bilingual community members who are interested in becoming nationally certified medical interpreters. HMONG NEW YEAR Each year, members of the local Hmong community gather for a weekend celebration during the Hmong New Year. Members of the Hmong community don their traditional dress, enjoy delicious food, and music. For ten years, GHC-SCW has worked together with the Southern Wisconsin Hmong Association to bring this event to our community. LATINO HEALTH COUNCIL For over a decade, we have helped promote the health and wellbeing of our Latino neighbors by serving on the Latino Health Council. Along with our participation on the council in 2019, we were deeply involved in efforts throughout the year to spread health knowledge to the community: We were present at health fairs to provide health checks and screenings for skin cancer and we sponsored an event to educate Latino teens about mental health and other health topics. REACH OUT AND READ Fewer things are more important to a child's cognitive, emotional, and social health than the simple act of reading. In fact, research clearly proves how important the first years of a child's life are for healthy brain development and their long-term success. So GHC-SCW has embraced the Reach Out and Read Program, championed by local pediatrician, Dr. Dipesh Navsaria. Our medical staff make substantial time commitments toward the program, making it a standard part of our pediatric primary care. At each Well Child visit from ages two months to five years of age, a child is given a book by their primary care provider to help assess childhood development and encourage the parent or guardian to read to their child. Through this program, a total of eleven books are distributed to each GHC-SCW member between the ages of two months and five years of age. National research continues to show the importance of reading to children in early childhood brain development. In 2019, we proudly paid for 6,588 age and culturally appropriate books to be distributed to children through the Reach Out and Read Program. The value of these books was $16,470. 2019 was the eighth year that GHC-SCW participated in the Reach Out and Read Program. BLACK WOMENS WELLNESS DAY Black Womens Wellness Day is an event that raises awareness of issues facing black women in our community. We offered therapeutic massage and information on stress to the attendees. 2019 was the seventh year GHC-SCW participated in this event. |
| Statement of Program Service Accomplishments (Continued) | Form 990, Part III, Line 4 III. SERVE THROUGH VOLUNTEERISM UNITED WAY SEASONS OF CARING KICK OFF EVENT Fifteen employees and eight additional family members volunteered at a United Way community Kick-Off event at Warner Park. Working in groups, they labeled cans for Second Harvest Food Bank, put together kids snack packs for MMSD students and assembled kids dental hygiene kits for Community Action Coalition and Access Community Health Centers. TEAM COMMUNITY EVENTS Our employees were involved in the causes our community cared about all year long. We sponsored or voluntarily participated in a variety of community races that promoted health and wellbeing. Below are listed events that our employees were involved in 2019: National Alliance on Mental Illness of Wisconsin NAMI Walk March of Dimes March of Babies Walk Berbee Derby Race Lung Cancer Research Foundation - Free to Breathe Yoga Event Fairshare - Bike the Barns Arthritis Foundation - Jingle Bell Run Cure SMA Walk-N-Roll GSAFE Trick or Trot Walk/Run COOPERATIVE COMMUNITY FUNDRAISERS All year long, our employees organized and supported a variety of fundraisers for local charities and health initiatives. Below is a listing of community fundraisers our employees organized in 2019: $11,456 donated through our Jeans Days and our Cooperative's Charitable Giving Campaign. Jeans Days are opportunities for employees to wear jeans on a designated day and donate to a specified organization. Some of the organizations who received Jeans Days donations include: DAIS, Underdog Pet Rescue, The River Food Pantry, Santas Without Chimneys, NAMI Dane County, Outreach LGBTQ Community Center, MS Society, American Heart Association, March of Dimes, Badger Honor Flight, Susan G. Komen, MMSD, and Lung Cancer Research. All proceeds raised through the Cooperatives Charitable Giving Campaign went to one of three programs of the employee's choice: United Way of Dane County, Community Shares of Wisconsin, or the Russell Hess School Nurse Emergency Fund. HOLIDAY GIFT GIVING Families with limited financial means can have a tough time getting through the holidays. That's why we developed the Holiday Gift Giving Program. In 2019, we selected 52 families through our Adopt-A-School Program Partners and 100 Black Mens Children with Responsibilities with the help of the school Social Workers. We helped ease the burden by providing these families with gas cards and fun activities like board games or gift cards, helped them keep warm with new socks, slippers and cozy blankets and provided some healthy snacks. We then bought gifts on the families wish lists and hand delivered them in time for the holidays. IV. SPONSOR HEALTH AND COMMUNITY INITIATIVES Throughout the year, we provided corporate financial sponsorships to a variety of important causes. In total, we contributed $455,201 The largest contributions were $200,000 to Access Community Health Center and $100,000 to the Edgewood College School of Nursing. We helped support and sponsor organizations that worked to promote health activities and initiatives that made our community better: 100 Black Men of Madison Access Community Health Centers African Association of Madison Agrace Alpha Kappa Alpha Walk It Out Health Fair Alzheimers Dementia Alliance American Cancer Society American Heart Association Arthritis Foundation Badger Honor Flight BadgerRock Middle School Black Girl Magic Conference Madison Metropolitan School District Boys and Girls Club Bratfest Breastfeeding Coalition of South Central Wisconsin Centro Hispano of Dane County Child & Adolescent Psychiatry Expansion Project Community Action Coalition Crestwood Elementary School Cure SMA DAIS Dane County Immunization Coalition East Madison Community Center Easterseals Edgewood College School of Nursing Fairshare CSA Falk Elementary School Family Works Foundation for Black Womens Wellness Foundation for Madison Public Schools Frank Allis Elementary School Friends of MSCR Fruit Fest 10th Annual LGBTQ+ Community Event Gildas Club Goodman Community Center Independent Living, LLC Junior Achievement KEVA Kiwanis Latino Health Council Leopold Elementary School Lung Cancer Research Lussier Community Education Center Madison 56ers Madison Area Care for the Homeless OneHealth Madison Area Food Pantry Madison Childrens Museum Madison Childrens Theater of Madison Madison Public Library MARC March of Dimes Mikaylas Grace Muscular Dystrophy Association NAMI NewBridge Outreach Pride Festival Porchlight Project Home Reach-a Child REAP Food Group River Alliance of Wisconsin Ronald McDonald House RSVP Dane County Safe Community Coalition of Madison and Dane County, Inc.
