IN THE GREATER HOUSTON AREA WHERE ALMOST ONE IN FOUR RESIDENTS ARE UNINSURED, MEMORIAL HERMANN, THROUGH ITS SUBSIDIARY, THE MEMORIAL HERMANN COMMUNITY BENEFIT CORPORATION (MHCBC), IMPLEMENTS PROGRAMS TO WORK WITH OTHER HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, BUSINESS LEADERS AND COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS TO ENSURE THAT ALL RESIDENTS OF THE GREATER HOUSTON AREA HAVE ACCESS TO THE SERVICES THEY NEED TO IMPROVE THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE AND THE OVERALL HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY. PRIMARY PROGRAM FOCII INCLUDE EDUCATION ON, ACCESS TO, AND PROVISION OF PRIMARY MEDICAL, DENTAL, MENTAL HEALTH, AND SOCIAL SERVICE SUPPORT TO UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS; FOOD AS HEALTH; AND, EXERCISE AS MEDICINE. NEW PROGRAMS ARE PILOTED, AND PROVEN PROGRAMS ARE REPLICATED IN THE COMMUNITY. THE MISSION OF MEMORIAL HERMANN COMMUNITY BENEFIT CORPORATION IS TO TEST AND MEASURE INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS THAT PROMOTE GOOD HEALTH FOR THE INDIVIDUAL, THE HEALTH SYSTEM AND THE COMMUNITY. COMMUNITY BENEFIT CORPORATION FUNDING TENENTS INCLUDE: PROVISION OF PRIMARY AND/OR SPECIALTY CARE FOR THE UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED; CONTRIBUTION TO THE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE OF NON-PROFIT CLINICS AND FQHC'S; PROGRAMS, PRACTICES, AND POLICIES THAT AFFECT THE HEALTH OF INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES, AND COMMUNITIES; COMMITMENT TO MEASUREMENT; EXISTENCE OF COLLABORATIVE PARTNERS; PROGRAMMATIC INCLUSION OF HEALTH EDUCATION AND LITERACY; AND, STRIVING TOWARDS SUSTAINABILITY. AS REQUIRED BY THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT-SECTION 501(R)(3)-REQUIREMENT OF THE ACA, MEMORIAL HERMANN COMMUNITY BENEFIT CORPORATION SUPPORTS THE MEMORIAL HERMANN HEALTH SYSTEM'S LICENSED ACUTE, REHAB, SURGICAL AND EMERGENCY HOSPITALS IN CONDUCTING COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENTS. THE CORRESPONDING IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES BALANCE THE INDIVIDUALITY OF THE DIFFERENT HOSPITALS WITH THE SYSTEM STRATEGY OF COLLECTIVELY SUPPORTING COMMUNITY OBJECTIVES TO ACHIEVE THE NECESSARY ALIGNMENT AND LEVERAGE TO IMPACT TRUE COMMUNITY CHANGE. COMMITTED TO MAKING THE GREATER HOUSTON AREA A HEALTHIER AND MORE VITAL PLACE TO LIVE, MHCBC COLLABORATES WITH OTHERS AS WELL AS CREATES SIGNATURE, EVIDENCE-BASED WAYS TO IMPROVE THE COMMUNITIES WHERE PEOPLE LIVE, WORK, LEARN AND PLAY. MHCBC SUPPORTS THE FOLLOWING INITIATIVES AS WELL AS THOSE STATED AS PROGRAM SERVICE ACTIVITIES #1, #2, AND #3: The BUILD Health Challenge, a Partnership of Memorial Hermann, City of Houston Health Department and resident empowering not-for-profit Avenue CDC, is a national program that puts multi-sector community partnerships at the foundation of improving public health. Our program, Bridging Health and Safety in Near Northside, is focusing on: healthy housing, free of lead, mold and hazards; improved built environment including parks and sidewalks; preventive chronic disease opportunities including access to physical activity and nutritious food; and, bridging opportunities including building resident leadership and employing community health workers. The Community Centered Health Home Initiative is an expanded view of 'healththrough partnerships with the Parks Department, Houston Police Department, HISD and Avenue CDC the collaboration, facilitated by Memorial Hermann, is enabling the activation of a community park--the sole in the area but long neglected due to safety concerns and lack of opportunities--with improved park amenities, soccer for success, walking groups, senior physical fitness, park safety and a path connecting the park to Burbank Middle School. Children at Risk - This not-for-profit agency serves as a catalyst for change to improve the quality of life for children through strategic research, public policy analysis, education, collaboration and advocacy. Children at Risk was granted funds to raise community awareness on the importance of recess policy implementation through outreach events, frequent media coverage, and direct work with Harris County school districts, while working closely with stakeholders as part of state level advocacy efforts leading up to and during the 86th Legislative Session in 2019. Additionally the report was produced, "The Status of School Recess in Texas School Districts". Exercise is Medicine - Broadly termed as, if packaged and prescribed, would be the most widely prescribed pill to take once a day, for the rest of your life, Exercise is Medicine has wide applications in the encouragement and provision of physical activity throughout CBC programs. Most recently, Memorial Hermann's medical group has incorporated exercise 'as a vital sign' into their EMR and practices, which will allow for analysis of connections between physician driven exercise prescriptions and improved chronic disease indicators. Food as Health - Nearly one out of every five families in the Houston region struggles with hunger or a lack of access to food, almost double the national average. We began screening patients for food insecurity in 2015 in a few select clinics and have since expanded throughout the Memorial Hermann System. Patients identified as food insecure receive support in applying for benefits, a referral to the Houston Food Bank, and guidance on questions to ask for an appropriate food pantry referral. In a pilot program, Meals that Heal, discharged patients identified in need of prepared, hot meals to support a successful healing process at home are delivered nutritious meals for as long as is necessary. Since rolling out the questions we have teamed up with several agencies to take programming support to a next level, providing populations with nutritious food, freeing up purchasing dollars for other needs. Healthy Women Houston (HWH) - In collaboration with Avenue 360 Health & Wellness, The Council on Recovery, Community Health Choice, Harris County Domestic Violence Coordination Council, and Interfaith Ministries for Greater Houston, we are a part of an effort to address maternal mortality and morbidity in specific, high risk communities in Harris County integrating health, behavioral, and social supports for pregnant and post-partum women. OneBridge Health Network - OneBridge Health Network will allow specialists to provide care to uninsured patients in a controlled environment by agreeing to see 'X' patients per year. The role of the network is to vet the patients, ensure pre-specialty visit testing is completed, provide navigation support for other quality of life needs, and ensure seamless transition between the specialist and PCP. Interfaith Community Clinic - This private not-for-profit volunteer based health care clinic's mission is to provide short-term medical care, dental care, and social service referrals for indigent persons who do not have private health insurance and are not eligible for Medicaid. Opened in 1966, the clinic specifically concentrates on providing services to Montgomery County residents who are not eligible for other programs and have nowhere else to turn. MD Anderson's Pasadena Vibrant Communities - In this collaborative to reduce cancer risk in a heavily obese and overweight population, we are providing our navigation and health literacy expertise. Neighborhood Health Centers Northwest and Northeast - The Centers are intended as a medical home for uninsured and underinsured populations. The Centers encourage the appropriate utilization of primary care by being located close to busy emergency rooms, offering extended hours and weekend coverage, keeping costs low, and charging just slightly over costs. Physicians of Sugar Creek - Funding of the difference between costs and sliding fee scale payments of care provided by The Memorial Family Practice Residency Training site to the working poor of the area. YES Prep Public Schools - The Active Classroom at Brays Oaks is a pilot program with the goal of increasing academic achievement in an intervention classroom through the incorporation of physical activity throughout the school day. |

The committee is comprised of individuals who are not employed by Memorial Hermann, and have no conflicting interests.

The compensation committee reviews and approves the total remuneration for the organization's disqualified persons in advance of being paid. On an annual basis, the compensation committee engages an independent third-party executive compensation consultant who uses comparable market data from published surveys and/or forms 990 of similar organizations to perform a competitive analysis and write an opinion letter regarding the competitive position of Memorial Hermann's disqualified persons. The compensation committee reviews the comparability data and opinion letter, and documents its discussion and decisions in minutes that are retained with the organization's other governance materials. The analysis is performed annually and it includes the President and CEO, all executive vice presidents and senior vice presidents of the organization, as well as family members of disqualified persons who are employed by Memorial Hermann. |
