POCONO MEDICAL CENTER	PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5: FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA), LVHN DEFINES THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES AS ALL INDIVIDUALS LIVING WITHIN THE COUNTIES THAT CONTAIN OUR HOSPITAL CAMPUSES. LVHN IS REQUIRED TO PRODUCE A CHNA HEALTH PROFILE FOR EACH OF OUR LICENSED FACILITIES IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THE LOCAL CONTEXT OF THE DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. THEREFORE, LVHN HAS PRODUCED FOUR CHNA HEALTH PROFILES FOR OUR FOUR DIFFERENT LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL CAMPUSES: LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL - CEDAR CREST, 17TH STREET, AND MUHLENBERG, LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL - SCHUYLKILL, LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL - HAZLETON, AND LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL - POCONO. FOR LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL - CEDAR CREST, 17TH STREET, AND MUHLENBERG, THE COMMUNITY IS DEFINED AS LEHIGH AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTIES (ALSO KNOWN AS THE LEHIGH VALLEY). WE ADDITIONALLY ASSESSED HEALTH NEEDS WITHIN THE CITY OF ALLENTOWN TO REFLECT THE URBAN COMMUNITY SURROUNDING OUR 17TH STREET CAMPUS. FOR LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL - SCHUYLKILL, THE HEALTH PROFILE PRESENTS THE HEALTH NEEDS OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN SCHUYLKILL COUNTY.

THERE ARE MANY OTHER FACTORS THAT OCCUR OUTSIDE THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE AND HOSPITAL WALLS THAT INFLUENCE HEALTH BEYOND MEDICAL CARE. THEY INCLUDE:- SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC FACTORS, SUCH AS EDUCATION, EMPLOYMENT, AND SOCIAL SUPPORT- PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT FACTORS, SUCH AS HOUSING, TRANSPORTATION, AND AIR QUALITY- HEALTH BEHAVIORS, SUCH AS SMOKING, DRINKING, DIET, AND EXERCISETHEREFORE, THE CHNA HEALTH PROFILE PROVIDES INFORMATION ABOUT HEALTH CARE AS WELL AS OTHER HEALTH FACTORS FOLLOWED BY HEALTH OUTCOMES. THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF DATA INCLUDED IN THE CHNA HEALTH PROFILES. THE FIRST TYPE IS QUANTITATIVE DATA, OR NUMBERS AND STATISTICS ABOUT THE OVERALL POPULATION IN THE COMMUNITY. THESE STATISTICS COME FROM A VARIETY OF LOCAL, STATE AND NATIONAL SOURCES INCLUDING THE CENSUS, THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL, THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, AND THE CENTERS FOR MEDICAID AND MEDICARE SERVICES. A MAJORITY OF THESE DATA POINTS ARE COMPILED TOGETHER THROUGH A PLATFORM CALLED THE CARES ENGAGEMENT NETWORK HEALTH PLAN TOOL, WHICH LVHN USES AS THE STARTING POINT FOR ITS CHNA HEALTH PROFILES, ADDING OTHER KEY STATE AND LOCAL DATA SOURCES TO THE DATA PROVIDED THROUGH THIS HEALTH REPORT.IN ADDITION, NON-PROFIT HOSPITAL SYSTEMS ARE REQUIRED TO OBTAIN INPUT FROM INDIVIDUALS WHO REPRESENT THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING THOSE WITH PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERTISE AND THE VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. LVHN CHOSE TO OBTAIN THIS INPUT THROUGH FOCUS GROUPS AND INTERVIEWS WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND LEADERS. THIS TYPE OF DATA IS REFERRED TO AS QUALITATIVE DATA. WE PARTNERED WITH AN EXTERNAL COMMUNITY COLLABORATOR FOR EACH CAMPUS WHO HAS EXPERIENCE IN QUALITATIVE DATA COLLECTION TO CONDUCT THESE FOCUS GROUPS AND INTERVIEWS ON LVHN'S BEHALF. THIS PROCESS PROVIDED COMMUNITY MEMBERS WITH AN INDEPENDENT AND OBJECTIVE OPPORTUNITY TO IDENTIFY AND SHARE THEIR PERSONAL EXPERIENCES AND PERSPECTIVE ON THE MOST PRESSING HEALTH NEEDS FACING THEIR COMMUNITY AS WELL AS WHERE THEY WOULD LIKE LVHN TO FOCUS ITS ATTENTION.

Form and Line Reference	Explanation
PART I, LINE 7:	LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL - POCONO USES A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO IN DETERMINING THE FIGURES REPORTED IN THIS TABLE. TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES LESS BAD DEBT EXPENSES LESS NON-PATIENT ACTIVITIES LESS MEDICAID PROVIDER TAXES EQUALS COSTS RELATED TO PATIENT CARE DIVIDED BY GROSS PATIENT CHARGES.
PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN (F):	THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A), BUT SUBTRACTED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE IN THIS COLUMN IS $ 21,638,451.
PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES:	LVH-P PROVIDES A MYRIAD OF HEALTH SCREENINGS AND COMMUNITY PRESENTATIONS ON HEALTHY LIFESTYLES AND DISEASE AWARENESS THROUGH THE WELLNESS INSTITUTE AND THE SPIRIT OF WOMEN INITIATIVE. ACTIVITIES INCLUDE PROVIDING TRANSPORTATION FOR PATIENTS IN NEED, PROVIDING FREE SPACE FOR COMMUNITY MEETINGS, TELEVISION AND RADIO HEALTH EDUCATION PROGRAMS, AND COMMUNITY WELLNESS OUTREACH.
PART III, LINE 2:	THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE (AT COST) WAS DETERMINED BY APPLYING THE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO, DERIVED FROM WORKSHEET 2-RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES TO TOTAL THE NET OF ACTUAL BAD DEBT WRITE-OFFS AND RECOVERIES PROCESSED DURING THE 2019 FISCAL YEAR.THE ORGANIZATION HAS ESTIMATED THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE POLICY BY UTILIZING DATA FROM THE US CENSUS BUREAU. THE ORGANIZATION ESTIMATED THE PERCENTAGE BY OBTAINING THE PERCENT OF THE POPULATION IN ITS SERVICE AREA FALLING BELOW THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. ACCORDING TO THE LATEST PUBLICIZED CENSUS DATA FOR MONROE COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, 11.5% OF INDIVIDUALS ARE CONSIDERED TO BE IN POVERTY.
PART III, LINE 3:	A COST TO CHARGE RATIO WAS USED. TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES LESS BAD DEBT EXPENSES LESS NON-PATIENT ACTIVITIES LESS MEDICAID PROVIDER TAXES EQUAL COSTS RELATED TO PATIENT CARE DIVIDED BY GROSS PATIENT CHARGES.
PART III, LINE 4:	BAD DEBTS - THE ORGANIZATION RECORDS A PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS RELATED TO UNINSURED ACCOUNTS NET OF THE AGB DISCOUNT TO RECORD THE NET SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AT THE ESTIMATED AMOUNTS THE ORGANIZATION EXPECTS TO COLLECT. COINSURANCES AND DEDUCTIBLES WITHIN THE THIRD-PARTY PAYER AGREEMENTS ARE THE PATIENT'S RESPONSIBILITY SO THE ORGANIZATION INCLUDES THESE AMOUNTS IN THE SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND CONSIDERS THESE AMOUNTS IN ITS DETERMINATION OF THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS BASED ON HISTORICAL COLLECTION EXPERIENCE.IN INSTANCES WHERE THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES A PATIENT HAS THE ABILITY TO PAY FOR SERVICES AND, AFTER APPROPRIATE COLLECTION EFFORT, PAYMENT IS NOT MADE, THE AMOUNT OF SERVICES NOT PAID IS WRITTEN-OFF AS BAD DEBTS. AMOUNTS RECORDED AS PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS DO NOT INCLUDE CHARITY CARE. THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2019 AND 2018, WAS $20,566,000 AND $21,502,000 RESPECTIVELY.
PART III, LINE 8:	THE SHORTFALL SHOULD BE TREATED AS 100% COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THE FISCAL YEAR 2019 MEDICARE COST REPORT WAS UTILIZED TO CALCULATE THE COST REPORTED ON LINE 6. SERVING PATIENTS WITH GOVERNMENT HEALTH BENEFITS, SUCH AS MEDICARE, IS A COMPONENT OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD THAT TAX EXEMPT HOSPITALS ARE HELD TO. THIS IMPLIES THAT SERVING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THAT THE HOSPITAL OPERATES TO PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY.
PART III, LINE 9B:	FINANCIAL COUNSELING STAFF WILL DETERMINE WHETHER PATIENTS MEET ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ACCOUNTS THAT DO NOT MEET THE ELIGIBLILTY REQUIREMENTS WILL BE REFERRED TO AN EXTERNAL RECEIVABLES FOLLOW UP AGENCY, AND IF NOT PAID, REFERRED TO A COLLECTION AGENCY AND SUBSEQUENTLY TRANSFERRED TO BAD DEBT STATUS IF THE ACCOUNTS REMAIN UNPAID.
PART VI, LINE 2:	IN AN EFFORT TO IMPROVE THE OVERALL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF THE COMMUNITY, ALL NON-PROFIT HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS MUST IDENTIFY AND EVALUATE THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE THROUGH A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) EVERY THREE YEARS. FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE CHNA, LEHIGH VALLEY HEALTH NETWORK (LVHN) DEFINES "COMMUNITY" AS ALL RESIDENTS LIVING WITHIN THE PRIMARY COUNTIES EACH LICENSED FACILITY SERVES, NAMELY LEHIGH, NORTHAMPTON, SCHUYLKILL, LUZERNE, AND MONROE COUNTIES IN PENNSYLVANIA. THE CHNA HEALTH PROFILE INCLUDES SECONDARY DATA PULLED TOGETHER FROM PUBLICALLY AVAILABLE, STATE AND LOCAL SOURCES SUCH AS THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND THE CENSUS BUREAU. THIS DATA WAS USED TO IDENTIFY THE TOP HEALTH AND SOCIAL NEEDS IN EACH IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY. LVHN THEN PARTNERED WITH COMMUNITY AND EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS TO OBTAIN INPUT (PRIMARY DATA) FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN EACH COUNTY IN ORDER TO VALIDATE THE FINDINGS OF THE SECONDARY DATA COLLECTION. THESE COMMUNITY PARTNERS CONDUCTED FOCUS GROUPS AND KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS TO REVIEW THE FINDINGS OF THE SECONDARY DATA COLLECTION AND ALLOW THE COMMUNITY TO IDENTIFY ANY OTHER NEEDS NOT MENTIONED. THE SECONDARY AND PRIMARY DATA WERE THEN COMBINED INTO ONE HEALTH PROFILE FOR EACH COUNTY, WHICH PROVIDES AN OVERVIEW OF THE CURRENT STATE OF HEALTH IN EACH OF THE COUNTIES LVHN SERVES. THESE REPORTS WERE REVIEWED BY LVHN EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP AT EACH CAMPUS, AND INITIAL HEALTH NEEDS WERE PRIORITIZED BASED ON THE COMMUNITIES INPUT AND LVHN'S ABILITY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE ON THAT HEALTH NEED. AS PART OF THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, STARTING IN 2013, ALL NON-PROFIT HOSPITALS AND HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS ARE REQUIRED TO CONDUCT A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) EVERY THREE YEARS. THE CHNA REPORT EXAMINES THE FACTORS THAT IMPACT THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN A PARTICULAR GEOGRAPHIC AREA. BEYOND ITS REGULATORY FUNCTION, THE CHNA IS AN IMPORTANT OVERVIEW OF THE CURRENT STATE OF HEALTH IN OUR REGION AND IDENTIFIES POTENTIAL AREAS OF CONCERN WHICH INFORMS LEHIGH VALLEY HEALTH NETWORK'S (LVHN) POPULATION HEALTH MANAGEMENT EFFORTS. LVHN'S CHNA INCLUDES A HEALTH PROFILE, A REPORT THAT LOOKS AT ALL OF THE FACTORS THAT GO INTO MAKING PEOPLE IN A PARTICULAR AREA HEALTHY. THIS INCLUDES SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS LIKE EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION AND AIR QUALITY, INDIVIDUAL BEHAVIORS LIKE SMOKING OR HEALTHY EATING, AND THE QUALITY AND AVAILABILITY OF HEALTH CARE IN THEIR AREA. THIS INTRODUCTION PROVIDES AN OVERVIEW OF THE 2019 CHNA HEALTH PROFILE AND LVHN'S CHNA PROCESS. THE 2019 HEALTH PROFILE COMBINES DATA AND INFORMATION FROM LOCAL, STATE AND NATIONAL SOURCES ABOUT DISEASE, THE ENVIRONMENT, SOCIAL FACTORS AND INDIVIDUAL BEHAVIORS, WITH IDEAS, STORIES, AND EXPERIENCES FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND LEADERS FROM THROUGHOUT THE COUNTIES SERVED BY LVHN. THE SECOND COMPONENT OF THE LVHN'S CHNA INCLUDES AN IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, WHICH OUTLINES OUR PLAN TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE HEALTH PROFILE OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT THREE YEARS. THE 2019 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN WILL BE SHARED AS A SEPARATE REPORT SOON AFTER THE HEALTH PROFILES ARE RELEASED.THE 2019 LVHN CHNA HEALTH PROFILE IS BROKEN OUT INTO THREE PRIMARY SECTIONS: DEMOGRAPHICS, HEALTH FACTORS, AND HEALTH OUTCOMES. THE DEMOGRAPHICS SECTION INCLUDES INFORMATION THAT PROVIDES A DESCRIPTION OF THE INDIVIDUALS LIVING IN THE COMMUNITY. THE HEALTH FACTORS SECTION INCLUDES INFORMATION ABOUT SOCIAL FACTORS, ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS, HEALTH BEHAVIORS, AND THE QUALITY AND AVAILABILITY OF HEALTH CARE IN THE AREA. THE FINAL SECTION, HEALTH OUTCOMES, LOOKS AT THE OCCURRENCE OF CHRONIC CONDITIONS, SUCH AS ASTHMA AND HEART DISEASE, AS WELL AS RATES OF CANCER AND THE LEADING CAUSES OF DEATH. TO INCREASE THE READABILITY OF THE REPORT, THE COMMUNITY WILL FIND THREE TYPES OF CALL-OUT BOXES THROUGHOUT THE CHNA HEALTH PROFILES. THE FIRST TYPE SUMMARIZES SOME OF THE DATA PRESENTED ON THAT PAGE IN ORDER TO PROVIDE EASY-TO-READ, SUMMARY STATEMENTS OF IMPORTANT DATA ABOUT THE COMMUNITY. THESE SUMMARY STATEMENTS ARE ALSO COMPILED INTO ONE LIST AT THE END OF THE HEALTH PROFILE. THE SECOND TYPE PROVIDES INFORMATION FROM THE INTERVIEWS AND FOCUS GROUPS. THE THIRD TYPE OF CALL-OUT BOX HIGHLIGHTS DATA SPECIFIC TO LVHN PATIENTS, WHERE IT WAS RELEVANT. THESE REPORTS HAVE BEEN REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY LVHN'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES AS WELL AS THE COMMUNITY RELATIONS COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD.VISIT WWW.LVHN.ORG/ABOUT_US TO VIEW THE SIGNIFICANT NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN OUR MOST RECENTLY CONDUCTED CHNA AND HOW WE ARE ADDRESSING THOSE NEEDS.
PART VI, LINE 3:	PATIENTS WHO EXPRESS A NEED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ARE INITIALLY OFFERED A DISCOUNT OF CHARGES AND/OR A PAYMENT PLAN. ONCE A DETERMINATION HAS BEEN MADE THAT A PATIENT IS UNINSURED, THEY ARE PROVIDED A COPY OF THE CHARITY POLICY AS WELL AS AN APPLICATION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. LVH-P'S CHARITY POLICY IS POSTED IN INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT AREAS AND ON THE LVHN WEB SITE. A NOTICE IS ALSO PROVIDED IN THE PATIENTS' BILL AND TO LOCAL SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES. LVH-P REVIEWS COMPLETED APPLICATIONS AGAINST ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA SET FORTH IN THE POLICY. ALL PRE-REGISTRATION, REGISTRATION, BUSINESS OFFICE, AND PATIENT FINANCIAL SERVICES STAFF RECEIVE TRAINING AS TO THE POLICY.
PART VI, LINE 4:	THE PRIMARY SERVICE AREA OF LVH-POCONO IS COMPRISED PRIMARILY OF MONROE COUNTY AND SOUTHERN PIKE COUNTY.BASED ON U.S. CENSUS BUREAU DATA FOR THE YEAR 2010 CENSUS, THE POPULATION OF THE PRIMARY SERVICE AREA WAS APPROXIMATELY 188,946 PEOPLE. DURING THE CALENDAR YEAR 2018, ABOUT 87.2% OF THE DISCHARGES FROM LVH-POCONO WERE RESIDENTS OF THE PRIMARY SERVICE AREA. ACCORDING TO THE AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY (U.S. CENSUS), THE ESTIMATED POPULATION FOR THE PRIMARY SERVICE AREA IN 2018 WAS 188,133.THE 2010 POPULATION OF THE SECONDARY SERVICE AREA WAS APPROXIMATELY 146,422 DURING THE CALENDAR YEAR 2018, ABOUT 9.6% OF THE DISCHARGES FROM LVH-POCONO WERE RESIDENTS OF THE SECONDARY SERVICE AREA.BASED ON PROPRIETARY DATA ESTIMATES (SCANUS), THE CURRENT POPULATION OF THE COMBINED PRIMARY AND SECONDARY LVH SERVICE AREAS IS PROJECTED, TO INCREASE APPROXIMATELY 4.9% BY THE YEAR 2024. DURING THE CALENDAR YEAR 2018, 3.2% OF THE DISCHARGES FROM LVH-POCONO WERE RESIDENTS OUTSIDE THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SERVICE AREAS.
PART VI, LINE 5:	AS AN ORGANIZATION DEEPLY ROOTED IN SERVING THE COMMUNITY, WE TAKE SERIOUSLY OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ADDRESS THEIR DIVERSE AND CHALLENGING HEALTHCARE NEEDS. THESE SERVICES INCLUDED DIRECT PATIENT CARE, MEDICAL ASSISTANCE SHORTFALL, CHARITY CARE AT COST, BAD DEBT EXPENSE AT COST, COMMUNITY EDUCATION AND PREVENTION, COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS AND SUPPORT, PROFESSIONAL AND PATIENT EDUCATION, AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO THE MONROE COUNTY HEALTH FAMILY CENTER, THE COMMONWEALTH MEDICAL COLLEGE, AND OUR AUXILIARY.BY TAKING CARE OF OUR COMMUNITY THROUGH HEALTH EDUCATION, PREVENTION, AND SCREENINGS, WE ARE ABLE TO FULFILL OUR MISSION OF DELIVERING WORLD-CLASS CARE, CLOSE TO HOME - A SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP WE CONSIDER PRICELESS. AS A MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL SPIRIT OF WOMEN NETWORK, WE PROVIDE HEALTH PROMOTION OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AND EVENTS. WE BELIEVE THAT HEALTHY LIFESTYLES EDUCATION BEGINS EARLY IN LIFE AND THIS YEAR LAUNCHED OUR SPIRIT GIRLS PROGRAM AS AN EXTENSION OF SPIRIT OF WOMEN TO ENCOURAGE HEALTHY LIFESTYLES AND PROMOTE SELF-ESTEEM FOR EIGHTH-GRADE GIRLS LIVING IN MONROE COUNTY. WE ALSO CLOSELY PARTNER WITH THE GREATER POCONO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TO OFFER A HEALTH PROGRAM TO NEW MEMBERS AND SHARE INFORMATION REGULARLY TO HELP FOSTER HEALTHY WORKPLACES.GIVEN THE HIGH COMMUNITY UTILIZATION OF CRITICAL SERVICES, WE CLOSELY PARTNER WITH THE AMERICAN RED CROSS TO OFFER BLOOD DRIVES MONTHLY TO ENSURE ADEQUATE SUPPLY TO MEET THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF PATIENTS. IN AN EFFORT TO INCREASE DONORS, WE ENGAGE COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO HELP SPREAD THE WORD. WE ALSO WORK WITH CHANNEL 13 BLUE RIDGE CABLE TO OFFER PATHWAYS TO HEALTHY LIVING, WHICH IS AN INTERACTIVE MONTHLY HEALTH EDUCATION SHOW. FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS, WE HAVE PARTNERED WITH POCONO ALLIANCE TO OBTAIN A GRANT FROM THE PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TO OFFER FREE INFLUENZA IMMUNIZATIONS TO HIGH RISK AND SENIOR POPULATIONS. THIS HAS RESULTED IN OVER A THOUSAND INDIVIDUALS BEING VACCINATED.THROUGH THE DALE AND FRANCES HUGHES CANCER CENTER, WELLNESS INSTITUTE, SPIRIT OF WOMEN, AND OTHERS, WE OFFER FREE HEALTH SCREENINGS AND RISK ASSESSMENTS TO COMMUNITY RESIDENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THESE INCLUDE BREAST, PROSTATE, COLON, SKIN, CARDIAC, AND PERIPHERAL ARTERY DISEASE, AMONG OTHERS. WE ALSO OFFER A SPEAKER'S BUREAU PROGRAM WHICH SENDS HEALTH PROFESSIONALS INTO THE COMMUNITY TO SPEAK TO STUDENTS, RESIDENTS, AND OTHERS ON A MYRIAD OF HEALTH MATTERS. WE ROUTINELY ATTEND EVENTS IN THE COMMUNITY TO SHARE HEALTH INFORMATION AND PROVIDE SCREENINGS AND RISK ASSESSMENTS.WE PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL HEALTH COURSES AT OUR LEARNING INSTITUTE FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS AND FIRST RESPONDERS IN THE COMMUNITY. WE ALSO FEATURE VARIOUS SUPPORT GROUPS, EDUCATION CLASSES, AMONG OTHER OPPORTUNITIES TO ENGAGE OUR COMMUNITY IN THEIR HEALTH. ONE OF THE MAJOR COMMUNITY INITIATIVES IS CALLED COMMUNITY HEALTH CONNECTIONS. THIS EFFORT WAS DEVELOPED AFTER THE MONROE COUNTY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT RESULTS WERE REVEALED TO THE COMMUNITY IN OCTOBER 2011. A STEERING COMMITTEE COMPRISED OF BUSINESS, GOVERNMENT, LAW ENFORCEMENT, EDUCATION, AMONG OTHERS WAS FORMED AND THEY DECIDED IT WAS BEST TO FOCUS ON BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS ISSUES.WE THEN ENGAGED THE COMMUNITY BY INVITING THOSE INTERESTED TO BECOME A PART OF THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS WORKING GROUPS. THESE GROUPS HAVE MET THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND SHARED IDEAS AND STRATEGIES TO HELP IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF MONROE COUNTY. THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH GROUP WORKED WITH THE GREATER POCONO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE'S LEADERSHIP POCONO PROGRAM TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PROVIDERS AND SYSTEM IN PLACE AND ALSO HAVE COLLABORATED ON THE NATIONAL DEPRESSION SCREENING DAY, NATIONAL SUICIDE SURVIVORS DAY, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS' EDUCATION PROGRAM. THE WELLNESS GROUP FIRST IDENTIFIED EXISTING COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND ACCESSIBILITY/AWARENESS OF THE OBESITY ISSUE. THEY DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS A LACK OF INFRASTRUCTURE TO ENGAGE, ENROLL, EDUCATE, NOTIFY INDIVIDUALS OF COMMUNITY EVENTS, AND TRACK PARTICIPATION/OUTCOMES. WE HAVE ALSO SERVED AS THE MEDICAL SERVICE PROVIDER TO LARGE-SCALE EVENTS INCLUDING THE RED CROSS RUN FOR THE RED POCONO MARATHON. CARL WILGUS, PRESIDENT/CEO, POCONO MOUNTAINS VISITORS BUREAU, HAD COMMENTED THAT: "KNOWING THAT WE HAD THE BACK-UP OF POCONO MEDICAL CENTER AS WELL AS THE SAFETY NET OF THE ENTIRE POCONO HEALTH SYSTEM MEANT KNOWING THAT OUR ATHLETES WOULD RECEIVE TOP-NOTCH MEDICAL ATTENTION DELIVERED WITH HOMETOWN CARE."
