| Part III Statement of Program Service Accomplishments | GREAT LAKES PHYSICIAN PRACTICE, P.C. EIN: 46-4186362 FORM 990 FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2020 Part III, Statement of Program Service Accomplishments Great Lakes Physician Practice, P.C. (GLPP) is a New York professional corporation formed on October 16, 2013 which has at all times since its formation been organized and operated for charitable purposes within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3). GLPP is a subsidiary of Regional Health Services, Inc. (RHS), an organization that is recognized as exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) as an organization described in Section 501(c)(3) and which is recognized as a public charity under Section 509(a)(2). RHS provides physician and outpatient healthcare and health education services to the Northwestern Pennsylvania tri-state region community. GLPP is organized and operated to promote access to high quality healthcare services to residents of the underserved area of Chautauqua County, New York and surrounding areas through the recruitment and employment of physicians to meet community needs. The majority of GLPP's patients are from Chautauqua County, New York, with additional patients from Cattaraugus County, NY and Bradford County in Pennsylvania, all rural areas with limited access to health care services. Chautauqua County contains four Health Professional Shortage Areas as designated by HHS, and the neighboring county of Bradford, Pennsylvania contains an additional six designated Health Professional Shortage Areas. Further, Chautauqua and Bradford Counties each include a federally-designated Medically Underserved Area. With physician offices in both Jamestown and Dunkirk, New York, and its physicians traveling to see patients in several local hospitals throughout these counties, GLPP also provides necessary specialty medical services that are not widely available in communities that are designated as medically underserved and have a shortage of health professionals. During the fiscal year 2020, GLPP had 138,217 office visits, performed 3,708 radiation treatments and did over 75,190 procedures. GLPP physicians provide specialty medical services in the following practice areas: cardiology, gastroenterology, general surgery, internal medicine, nephrology, neurology, neurosurgery, orthopedics, pulmonary and sleep medicine, and women's health. Services are offered to residents throughout Chautauqua County in order to relieve conditions relating to, and to promote the interests of, the health of Chautauqua County's various communities. In order to ensure that all residents of these communities are served regardless of their ability to pay, GLPP provides discounted and free care for patients who demonstrated financial need. GLPP regularly hosts medical students for shadowing experiences with its physicians. In addition to furthering students' education, this program serves the important purpose of introducing future physicians to Chautauqua County, a rural area which traditionally lacks incentives to attract such professionals as demonstrated by its status as a federally-designated Health Professional Shortage Area. In addition to providing education opportunities to medical students, GLPP also provides shadowing experiences for other students in the medical professions in fields such as medical assistant, health care administration, and phlebotomy. GLPP also fulfills its exempt charitable and educational mission through participation in community benefit and research programs. GLPP regularly provides education to community members at health fairs and job fairs. GLPP is also active in promoting healthy behaviors in the communities that it serves by sponsoring youth sports programs and offering free space to various types of support groups for community residents dealing with serious health issues. Further, GLPP has been involved in formal research studies to improve outcomes for patients with atrial fibrillation. The willingness of GLPP's physicians to participate in such studies brings the opportunity for new and innovative treatments to the patients of Chautauqua County. |
