NONETHELESS, TWCGME AND TWCCH JOINTLY ENGAGE A THIRD-PARTY EXTERNAL COMPENSATION CONSULTANT REGULARLY (TYPICALLY EVERY THREE TO FIVE YEARS) TO PROVIDE A COMPREHENSIVE, OBJECTIVE COMPENSATION STUDY TO ENSURE THAT TWCGME'S PAYMENT TO TWCCH FOR CHIEF EXECUTIVE SERVICES REFLECT FAIR MARKET VALUE. IN ADDITION, TWCGME'S EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD PERFORMS A DETAILED, REGULAR INTERVAL, COMPREHENSIVE PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S PERFORMANCE AND ORGANIZATION'S PERFORMANCE IN DETERMINING WHETHER PAYMENT ADJUSTMENTS TO TWCCH FOR FUTURE SERVICES ARE APPROPRIATE AND, IF SO, FAIR MARKET VALUE BASED ON ALL CIRCUMSTANCES. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE'S DELIBERATIONS, CONSIDERATIONS AND DECISIONS ARE CONTEMPORANEOUSLY DOCUMENTED IN THE COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES WITHIN 60 DAYS OF THE COMPENSATION DECISION. COMPENSATION OF ALL OTHER EMPLOYEES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO EXECUTIVE EMPLOYEES, KEY EMPLOYEES, THE HIGHEST COMPENSATED EMPLOYEES AND ALL STAFF, IS DETERMINED BY THE ORGANIZATION'S CHIEF EXECUTIVE AND HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT, WHO RELY ON A PERIODIC ORGANIZATION-WIDE COMPENSATION ASSESSMENT BY AN OBJECTIVE THIRD-PARTY VENDOR, TYPICALLY EVERY THREE TO FIVE YEARS.
SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 7 NONFIXED PAYMENTS: ALL EMPLOYEES MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR AN ANNUAL, PERFORMANCE-BASED INCENTIVE BONUS CONTINGENT UPON BOARD APPROVAL, SUCCESSFUL PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS BY MANAGEMENT, AND AFFORDABILITY.

ONCE DETERMINED TO BE AFFORDABLE, THE MERIT-BASED BONUS PAYMENT TO ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES CORRELATES TO INDIVIDUAL JOB PERFORMANCE SCORES. EMPLOYEES IN A NEW EMPLOYMENT PROBATIONARY STATUS OR THOSE WHO HAVE NOTIFIED TWCGME OF THEIR RESIGNATIONS ARE INELIGIBLE FOR BONUSES. THE ELIGIBILITY OF THOSE ON A PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT PLAN IS AT THE DISCRETION OF THE DIRECT SUPERVISOR. THE 2020-2021 INCENTIVE PLAN CONSISTED OF A PERFORMANCE BONUS RANGING BETWEEN 0% AND 7% OF BASE SALARY. THE TOTAL BONUS POOL WAS BUDGETED AT 5% OF PAYROLL.

Return Reference Explanation
FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1 DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION MISSION: WE DO THIS THROUGH INCLUSIVE AND RESPONSIVE HEALTH SERVICES AND THE SUSTAINABLE RENEWAL OF AN INSPIRED, COMPETENT WORKFORCE THAT IS PRIVILEGED TO SERVE. TWCGME IS A 501(C)(3) NONPROFIT CORPORATION AND ANCHOR MEMBER OF A GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION SAFETY-NET CONSORTIUM (GME-SNC) AS THE INDEPENDENT ACGME-ACCREDITED SPONSORING INSTITUTION OF GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION RESIDENCY AND FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMS IN INTERNAL MEDICINE, FAMILY MEDICINE, PSYCHIATRY, GERIATRICS, CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE AND GASTROENTEROLOGY. THE CONSORTIUM ENGAGES ITS PRIMARY AFFILIATE FQHC LOOK-ALIKE, THE WRIGHT CENTER FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH (TWCCH), AS WELL AS FOUR PARTNERING NATIONAL FQHCS AS TEACHING HEALTH CENTERS AND ALSO NUMEROUS COMMUNITY-BASED HOSPITAL SYSTEMS, AS WELL AS THE VETERAN AFFAIRS HOSPITAL SYSTEM, IN THE CLINICAL TRAINING OF ITS RESIDENTS AND FELLOWS. THE CONSORTIUM ALSO PROUDLY PARTNERS WITH AND HOSTS INTERPROFESSIONAL STUDENTS FROM NUMEROUS ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION, INCLUDING THE GEISINGER COMMONWEALTH SCHOOL OF MEDICINE (GCSOM) AND A.T. STILL UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE IN ARIZONA (SOMA). BOTH GCSOM AND SOMA HAVE VOTING REPRESENTATION ON TWCGME'S GOVERNING BOARD, AS DOES THE NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA AREA HEALTH EDUCATION CENTER.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 ORGANIZATION MISSION: TWCGME'S PASSIONATE PURPOSE IS TO DEMONSTRATE AN "ACHIEVABLE BY ALL" GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION SAFETY-NET CONSORTIUM (GME-SNC) MODEL THAT CO-CREATES TRANSFORMATIONAL HEALTHCARE TEAMS OF LEADERS WHO EMPOWER PEOPLE, FAMILIES, AND COMMUNITIES TO OWN AND OPTIMIZE THEIR HEALTH, HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEMS AND ITS WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT. WITH INCLUSIVE ENGAGEMENT OF GME STAKEHOLDERS, THE CONSORTIUM ASPIRES TOWARD AN INCLUSIVE COLLECTIVE IMPACT FRAMEWORK TO EFFECTIVELY ADDRESS AMERICA'S PRIMARY CARE WORKFORCE SHORTAGE AND MIS-DISTRIBUTION AND RELATED HEALTH AND HEALTHCARE DISPARITIES. AS A GME CONSORTIUM, TWCGME INTEGRATES GME FEDERAL RESOURCES DIRECTLY FROM THE HEALTH RESOURCES AND SERVICES ADMINISTRATION'S (HRSA) THCGME PROGRAM AND THE DEPARTMENT OF VETERAN AFFAIRS, AS WELL THROUGH AFFILIATION AGREEMENTS WITH CMS GME-FUNDED PARTNERING HOSPITALS. TWCGME PROUDLY BECAME A PIONEERING THCGME GRANTEE IN 2011 WHEN THE THCGME PROGRAM WAS LAUNCHED BY HRSA AS A RESULT OF THE ENACTMENT OF THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT. SINCE THEN, THCGME PROGRAMS, INCLUDING TWCGME, HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING AND EXPANDING COMMUNITY-BASED CLINICAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS IN COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS (CHCS) ACROSS THE NATION TO TRAIN PRIMARY CARE RESIDENT PHYSICIANS IN HISTORICALLY MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED SETTINGS. THE THCGME PROGRAM HAS BEEN AN EFFECTIVE TOOL IN ADDRESSING ONE OF THE MOST CRUCIAL ASPECTS OF THE PRIMARY CARE CLIFF: PRIMARY CARE ACCESS IN UNDERSERVED AREAS DUE TO A NATIONAL PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN SHORTAGE AND MIS-DISTRIBUTION. THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR HEALTH WORKFORCE ANALYSIS ESTIMATES THAT THE DEMAND FOR PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS WILL GROW BY 38,320 FULL-TIME EQUIVALENTS BETWEEN 2013 AND 2025, AND THAT BY 2025, THERE WILL BE A NATIONAL SHORTAGE OF 23,640 PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS. THE GME-SNC PHYSICIAN TRAINING MODEL DEVELOPED BY TWCGME IS DESIGNED TO MITIGATE THE HEALTH AND HEALTHCARE DISPARITIES RESULTING FROM THIS NATIONAL SHORTAGE WHILE INSPIRED BY AND STRIVING FOR THE QUINTUPLE AIM. ADAPTED FROM THE INSTITUTE FOR HEALTHCARE IMPROVEMENT'S TRIPLE AIM, THE QUINTUPLE AIM IS A FRAMEWORK TO OPTIMIZE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM PERFORMANCE BY IMPROVING POPULATION HEALTH, PROMOTING AFFORDABILITY, IMPROVING THE GLOBAL EXPERIENCE OF CARE, IMPROVING HEALTHCARE TEAM WELL-BEING, AND ENSURING EQUITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY. TWCGME'S CURRENT SPONSORING INSTITUTIONAL AND PROGRAMMATIC PRIMARY CARE CURRICULA ARE ROOTED IN COMMUNITY-ORIENTED AND PUBLIC HEALTH NEEDS-RESPONSIVE PRIMARY CARE TRAINING FOR FAMILY MEDICINE, INTERNAL MEDICINE AND PSYCHIATRY RESIDENTS. RESIDENTS ARE, AS A RESULT, DEEPLY IMMERSED IN COMMUNITY-DRIVEN, RESPONSIVE SOLUTIONS TO THE ONGOING COVID-19 PANDEMIC, RELENTLESS OPIOID EPIDEMIC, CONTINUING BATTLES WITH HIV/AIDS AND HEPATITIS C, AND ESCALATING PUBLIC HEALTH CHALLENGES RELATED TO MENTAL HEALTH STRUGGLES, OBESITY, DIABETES, CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE, CANCER, AND GAPS IN VACCINATIONS FOR PREVENTABLE ILLNESSES. THE COMMUNITY-BASED TRAINING AFFORDED WITHIN ESSENTIAL COMMUNITY PROVIDER NETWORKS LEVERAGES CROSS-INSTITUTIONAL LEARNING AND BROAD EXPOSURE TO INTERPROFESSIONAL TEAM-BASED CARE AND A VARIETY OF HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY PLATFORMS. TWCGME'S PARTNERING CLINICAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS DEMONSTRATE AND ENGAGE ITS LEARNERS IN VALUE-DRIVEN WORKFLOW REDESIGN THAT PROMOTES PHYSICIAN-LED TEAMS, ENGAGED AND EMPOWERED PATIENTS AND FAMILIES, ROBUST REFERRAL NETWORKS OF COMMUNITY RESOURCES, AND BOTH MEANINGFUL USE AND CONNECTIVITY/INTEROPERABILITY OF HEALTH AND EDUCATIONAL INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY. TOP-LICENSE PRACTICE AT ALL LEVELS WITHIN THESE LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS EFFICIENTLY REDISTRIBUTES WORKFLOW SO THAT EVERY MEMBER OF THE PHYSICIAN-LED CARE TEAM, INCLUDING THE LEARNERS, ENGAGE IN PURPOSEFUL, MEANINGFUL PRACTICE AND ITERATIVE CONTINUOUS QUALITY IMPROVEMENT OF BOTH CARE DELIVERY AND EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS. TWCGME'S GME-SNC IS A COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER (CHC) FOCUSED EDUCATIONAL CONSORTIUM WITH HOSPITAL EXPERIENCES THAT EXPOSE TRAINEES TO INTERPROFESSIONAL EDUCATION IN A MULTIDISCIPLINARY ENVIRONMENT, BUILDING THEIR LONGITUDINAL AND TRANSITIONAL CARE SKILLS AND PREPARING THEM FOR MODERN CLINICAL PRACTICE. EVIDENCE DEMONSTRATES THAT PHYSICIANS WHO TRAINED AT CHCS ARE MORE LIKELY TO WORK IN A CHC OR OTHER UNDERSERVED SETTINGS. LIKE OTHER THCGME GRANTEES, TWCGME NOW HAS DEMONSTRABLE OUTCOMES OF TRAINING HIGHER THAN AVERAGE NUMBERS OF PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS WHO CHOOSE TO PRACTICE IN HISTORICALLY UNDERSERVED SETTINGS, INCLUDING FQHCS AND RURAL COMMUNITIES.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 2 NEW PROGRAM SERVICES: EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2020, TWCGME OPERATIONALIZED AND LAUNCHED ITS ACGME-ACCREDITED GERIATRICS FELLOWSHIP. AS PART OF ITS EXPANSION OF THE SUCCESSFUL THCGME PROGRAM, HRSA ISSUED A NOTICE OF FUNDING OPPORTUNITY TO INVITE COMPETITIVE APPLICATIONS TO SECURE GME FUNDING FOR PRIMARY CARE RESIDENCY AND FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMS. AS A VESTED PARTNER IN THE INSTITUTE FOR HEALTHCARE IMPROVEMENT'S INITIATIVE TO BUILD AN "AGE FRIENDLY HEALTH SYSTEM," AS WELL AS UCLA'S HARTFORD FOUNDATION FUNDED ALZHEIMER'S AND DEMENTIA CARE PROGRAM NETWORK, TWCGME DEVELOPED AND LAUNCHED ITS GERIATRICS FELLOWSHIP TO ELEVATE THE AGE-RELATED WORKFORCE COMPETENCIES, NOT ONLY OF THE ENGAGED FELLOWS BUT ALSO OF OUR INCUMBENT AND FUTURE PRIMARY CARE WORKFORCE. TWCGME APPLIED FOR AND WAS AWARDED 3 FTES OF FUNDING BY THE HRSA THCGME PROGRAM FOR ITS GERIATRICS FELLOWSHIP. THE CURRICULUM IS DESIGNED TO PROMOTE THE WORKFORCE'S SKILL SETS TO HELP PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES, ESPECIALLY THE MOST VULNERABLE ELDERLY, STRUGGLING WITH AGE- RELATED CHALLENGES OF COMPLEX MEDICAL, BEHAVIORAL AND SOCIAL HEALTH NEEDS. THE LAUNCH OF THE GERIATRICS FELLOWSHIP SUPPORTED AFFILIATED ENTITY TWCCH'S COMPETITIVE SELECTION FOR PARTICIPATION IN A ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON FOUNDATION-SUPPORTED DESIGN SPRINT FACILITATED BY THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS (NACHC) AND THE ASSOCIATION OF ASIAN PACIFIC COMMUNITY HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS (AAPCHO). THE INITIATIVE FOCUSED ON THE ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON FOUNDATION'S THEORY OF CHANGE ALIGNMENT FRAMEWORK FOR CROSS-SECTOR ORGANIZATIONS TO ALIGN AROUND A SHARED VISION AND TO ENGAGE IN A COLLECTIVE IMPACT INITIATIVE TO SOLVE COMPLEX SOCIAL PROBLEMS. TWCCH WAS SELECTED, AND INVITED TWCGME, TELESPOND SENIOR DAY SERVICES, LACKAWANNA COUNTY AREA AGENCY ON AGING AND THE UNITED WAY OF LACKAWANNA AND WAYNE COUNTIES TO COLLABORATE TO CO-CREATE A VISION FOR IMPROVED, SUSTAINABLE PROGRAMS FOR SENIORS AND THEIR CAREGIVERS AND ENHANCED COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS TO MAKE THIS VISION POSSIBLE. AS A RESULT, TWCGME AND THESE PARTNERS ARE MAJOR PARTICIPATING STAKEHOLDERS IN THE EMERGING REGIONAL GERIATRICS CENTER OF EXCELLENCE IN NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA. TWCCH ALSO NOTABLY HIRED THE FIRST GRADUATE OF TWCGME'S GERIATRICS FELLOWSHIP AS A FULL TIME PROVIDER OF HEALTH SERVICES, AND SHE IS PASSIONATELY ENGAGED IN GERIATRICS EDUCATION OF THE FELLOWS, RESIDENTS, STUDENTS, AND CLINICAL STAFF. EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2020, TWCGME EXPANDED ITS PSYCHIATRY RESIDENCY PROGRAM BY 4 FTES AS A RESULT OF ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL COMPETITIVE GRANT APPLICATION TO HRSA FOR THCGME FUNDING. TWCGME'S APPLICATION TO GROW ITS COMMUNITY-BASED PSYCHIATRY RESIDENCY PROGRAM IS A DIRECT RESPONSE TO THE CONTINUED INTENSIFICATION OF THE SHORTAGE OF PSYCHIATRISTS IN NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA, PARALYZING PATIENT ACCESS TO CRITICALLY NEEDED MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES, AND ALSO TO THE ESCALATING MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH NEEDS RESULTING FROM THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. IN ACADEMIC YEAR 2020, TWCGME ALSO FORMALLY SUPPORTED TWCCH'S SUCCESSFUL ENGAGEMENT AS A CLINICAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FOR ADDICTION FELLOWS FROM GEISINGER'S HRSA-FUNDED ADDICTION FELLOWSHIP AND ALSO NYU LANGONE'S NATIONAL ADVANCED EDUCATION GENERAL DENTISTRY RESIDENCY PROGRAM ACCREDITED BY THE COMMISSION ON DENTAL ACCREDITATION. GIVEN THE ESSENTIAL COMMUNITY PROVIDER IDENTITY OF ITS NUMEROUS CONSORTIUM PARTNERS, TWCGME'S RESIDENTS AND FELLOWS FOUND THEMSELVES IN THE INTENSELY TRAUMATIC EYE OF THE UNPRECEDENTED GLOBAL COVID-19 PANDEMIC AS PUBLIC SERVANTS. THEIR STRESS WAS UNPARALLELED AS NEW PHYSICIANS IN TRAINING WITHIN ESSENTIAL COMMUNITY PROVIDER ENVIRONMENTS THAT REMAINED OPEN AND OPERATIONAL THROUGH THE ENTIRE PANDEMIC TO DATE. NOTABLY, THE PRIMARY CARE RESIDENTS AND GERIATRICS FELLOWS PLAYED AN UNDENIABLY SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN AND MADE MANY MEANINGFUL CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC RESPONSE IN THEIR RESPECTIVE COMMUNITIES. THEY COURAGEOUSLY SERVED IN BOTH AMBULATORY CLINICS AND COVID-19 SPECIFIC UNITS AND ALSO IN HOSPITAL-BASED SETTINGS, INCLUSIVE OF EMERGENCY ROOMS, GENERAL HOSPITAL FLOORS AND INTENSIVE CARE UNITS. THEY PASSIONATELY ENGAGED IN MULTIDIMENSIONAL SERVICE PROVISION INCLUSIVE OF PUBLIC HEALTH EDUCATION, PPE PROVISION, AS WELL AS COVID-19 TESTING, VACCINATION, AND TREATMENT INITIATIVES, INCLUSIVE OF MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY INFUSIONS. THEY ALSO VOLUNTEERED FOR MANY COMMUNITY SERVICE EVENTS INCLUDING FOOD DISTRIBUTION INITIATIVES, MOBILE UNIT DEPLOYMENT TO ELDERLY HIGH RISES TO DEPLOY RESOURCES, AND ALSO TWCCH'S ENGAGEMENT IN THE PA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH'S EDUCATION AND CLINICAL COACHING PROGRAM TO OFFER SUPPORT TO NURSING HOMES AND LONG-TERM CARE FACILITIES.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 2 CONTINUED NEW PROGRAM SERVICES CONTINUED: THE PRIMARY CARE RESIDENTS AND GERIATRIC FELLOWS WERE A CRUCIAL COMPONENT OF THE HEALTH WORKFORCE IN NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA SERVING IN TWCCH'S FQHC LOOK-ALIKE, A DESIGNATION ACHIEVED BY THAT CARE DELIVERY ORGANIZATION JUST PRIOR TO THE PANDEMIC IN 2019. COVID-19 VACCINES BECAME AVAILABLE TO TWCCH IN DECEMBER 2020. DURING THE FIRST THREE MONTHS OF THE VACCINE ROLL-OUT, TWCGME EXPERIENCED A MYRIAD OF UNIQUE CHALLENGES RELATED TO THE INTENTIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH-CENTERED STRATEGY TWCCH ADOPTED TO CONDUCT PRIMARY HEALTH VISITS ASSOCIATED WITH THE COVID-19 VACCINE, WHILE OTHER PROVIDERS ORGANIZED DRIVE BY VACCINE ONLY EVENTS. TWCCH'S STRATEGY AIMED TO ADDRESS WELL RECOGNIZED, UNDIAGNOSED, AND UNCONTROLLED CHRONIC MEDICAL CONDITIONS, STARTING WITH HYPERTENSION, AS WELL AS ESCALATING, PANDEMIC-RELATED PRIMARY HEALTH CARE GAPS PARTICULARLY RELATED TO PREVENTATIVE CARE NEEDS, MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES, SUBSTANCE ABUSE, AND INSUFFICIENT VACCINATIONS FOR PREVENTABLE ILLNESS. TWCCH TRANSPARENTLY COMMUNICATED ITS DEPLOYMENT OF A PUBLIC HEALTH ORIENTED PATIENT-CENTERED VISIT-BASED STRATEGY BOTH INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO FEDERAL, STATE AND COUNTY AGENCIES, INSURANCE COMPANIES, NUMEROUS PARTNERING COMMUNITY RESOURCE AGENCY STAKEHOLDERS, AND THE LOCAL MEDIA. IT WAS A LEADING STAKEHOLDER IN SEVERAL COMMUNITY TASK FORCE MEETINGS AND A RELATED LOCAL MEDIA OP-ED CALLING FOR A RISK STRATIFIED REGIONAL COMMUNITY-WIDE VACCINE DISTRIBUTION STRATEGY. TWCCH'S COMMITMENT TO THE STRATEGY WAS NOTABLY MADE WITH FULL AWARENESS AND FRANK DISCUSSIONS THAT THE MEDICAL NECESSITY OF VISITS WOULD POSSIBLY BE DENIED BY INSURANCE COMPANIES WITH WHICH TWCCH WAS NEGOTIATING. HOWEVER, A LOCAL MEDIA JOURNALIST PUBLISHED COMPLAINTS ABOUT TWCCH'S VISIT-BASED STRATEGY. IN LATE FEBRUARY 2021, MORE THAN TWO MONTHS AFTER TWCCH BEGAN ITS PUBLIC HEALTH-ORIENTED VISIT-BASED COVID-19 VACCINE DEPLOYMENT, THE CDC ISSUED NEW GENERAL GUIDANCE THAT CALLED THE PERMISSIBILITY OF TWCCH'S MANDATORY VISIT-BASED STRATEGY INTO QUESTION. DURING THIS SAME TIME FRAME, RESIDENT LEADERS OF ONE RESIDENCY PROGRAM EXPRESSED THEIR CONCERN ABOUT THE LACK OF EDUCATIONAL VALUE ENGAGING IN THE VISIT-BASED VACCINATION EFFORTS AND SUBSEQUENTLY OUTREACHED TO THE ACGME. UPON LEARNING OF THE NEWLY ISSUED CDC GUIDANCE, TWCCH LEADERSHIP IMMEDIATELY REACHED OUT TO THE PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, HRSA AND THE CDC FOR CLARIFICATION AND DIRECTION. ADDITIONALLY, THE PRESIDENT & CEO, TOGETHER WITH THE CHAIR OF TWCCH BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND TWCCH COO, SHARED THESE CIRCUMSTANCES WITH TWCCH'S HRSA FQHC-LAL PROJECT OFFICER AND A DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF HRSA. BEFORE RECEIVING A SUBSTANTIVE RESPONSE FROM THE CDC, TWCCH INDEPENDENTLY ELECTED TO REMEDIATE THE CHAOTIC AND TRAUMATIC SITUATION, GIVEN THE STRESS OF THE PANDEMIC, TOXIC MEDIA DYNAMICS AND THE RESULTING CONFUSION IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY, WHICH TWCCH BELIEVED WOULD IMPAIR ACHIEVEMENT OF HERD IMMUNITY. TWCCH, THEREFORE, COMMITTED PUBLICLY TO, AND HAS, RETURNED ALL PAYMENTS FROM PATIENTS RELATED TO SERVICES RECEIVED THAT WERE PRIMARILY PURSUED FOR THE PURPOSE OF GETTING VACCINATED. TWCCH ALSO RETURNED REVENUES AND ADJUSTED ALL RELATED CLAIMS SUBMITTED TO INSURANCE COMPANIES FOR SUCH VISITS. THESE MEASURES, AS WELL AS THE ADDITIONAL MEASURES OF HIRING A DIRECTOR OF HEALTH HUMANITIES AND A WELLNESS AND RESILIENCY SPECIALIST, WERE COMMUNICATED TO THE ACGME, WHICH THEN CONSIDERED THE MATTER CLOSED AS IT RELATES TO THE SPONSORING INSTITUTION. THE RESIDENT LEADERS WHO ORGANIZED THE OUTREACH TO THE ACGME HAVE SUCCESSFULLY GRADUATED AND MOVED ON TO SPECIALTY FELLOWSHIPS. TWCCH BELIEVES THAT ITS REMEDIATION PLAN OVERCORRECTED ANY POSSIBLE BILLING ISSUES RELATED TO ITS PUBLIC HEALTH-ORIENTED VISIT-BASED STRATEGY, AND CONTINUED, AT THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE CDC, TO PROMOTE AND ENCOURAGE A PUBLIC HEALTH-ORIENTED VISIT-BASED VACCINATION STRATEGY THROUGH IMPLEMENTATION OF A MORE PROACTIVE, METICULOUSLY DETAILED COVID-19 TESTING, TREATMENT AND VACCINATION INFORMED CONSENT PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES. TWCGME RESIDENTS CONTINUE TO BE AN INTEGRAL PART OF TWCCH'S ROBUST RESPONSE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, AND THEY PROUDLY SHARED IN THE AWARD OF FIVE HRSA COMMUNITY HEALTH QUALITY RECOGNITION BADGES THAT TWCCH RECEIVED FOR ITS PANDEMIC PERFORMANCE. BOTH TWCCH'S AND TWCGME'S INTENSE ORGANIZATIONAL LEARNING AND TRAUMA PROCESSING THROUGH THIS EXPERIENCE WAS FORCE-MULTIPLIED FOR EVERYONE WHO SERVED DURING THE INTENSE, UBIQUITOUS TRAUMA OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. THE SUBSEQUENT ORGANIZATIONAL INVESTMENTS IN THE WELL-BEING OF TWCGME'S LEARNERS VIA THE HIRING OF THE AFOREMENTIONED POSITIONS WHO HAVE IMPLEMENTED WELLNESS-FOCUSED ACTIVITIES, ALONG WITH SEVERAL ORGANIZATION-WIDE INITIATIVES TO HEAL AND NURTURE TRUST AND ENHANCED COMMUNICATION, HAVE DEMONSTRATED TWCGME'S AND TWCCH'S LEGACY OF COMMUNITY-FOCUSED MISSION DELIVERY RESILIENCY, WHILE ALSO EMERGING ITS NEWLY ENHANCED RECOVERY-ORIENTED CULTURE.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A PROGRAM SERVICES CONTINUED: TWCGME IS AN INDEPENDENT, ACGME-ACCREDITED SPONSORING INSTITUTION OF RESIDENCY AND FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMS IN INTERNAL MEDICINE, FAMILY MEDICINE, PSYCHIATRY, GERIATRICS, CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE AND GASTROENTEROLOGY.

TWCGME ALSO OFFERS MEDICAL FELLOWSHIPS IN CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE, GASTROENTEROLOGY AND GERIATRICS IN NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA. TWCGME'S REGIONAL FAMILY MEDICINE RESIDENCY AND NATIONAL FAMILY MEDICINE RESIDENCY PROGRAMS, THE INTERNAL MEDICINE PROGRAM, PSYCHIATRY AND GERIATRICS ARE WHOLLY OR PARTIALLY FUNDED BY THE U.S. HEALTH RESOURCES AND SERVICES ADMINISTRATION (HRSA) THROUGH THE TEACHING HEALTH CENTER GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION (THCGME) PROGRAM, WHICH FUNDS ONLY PRIMARY CARE MEDICAL AND DENTAL RESIDENCY PROGRAMS. THESE HRSA-FUNDED THCGME PROGRAMS OFFER AMPLE OPPORTUNITY FOR PHYSICIAN TRAINEES TO BE IMMERSED IN FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTERS (FQHCS) AND FQHC LOOK-ALIKES (FQHC-LALS) AS THEIR PRIMARY AMBULATORY CLINICAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS. AS THE LARGEST HRSA-FUNDED THC GME-SNC IN THE U.S., TWCGME PROUDLY ENGAGED EACH FQHC AND FQHC-LAL PARTNER WITH AN EMPOWERING VOICE ON OUR GOVERNING BOARD OF DIRECTORS. TWCGME'S CLINICAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT PARTNER SITES INCLUDE TWCCH'S CLINICAL LOCATIONS ACROSS NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA, HEALTHSOURCE OF OHIO IN NEW RICHMOND AND HILLSBORO, OH, EL RIO HEALTH IN TUCSON, AZ, HEALTHPOINT COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER IN AUBURN, WA, AND UNITY HEALTH CARE IN WASHINGTON, D.C. THESE HEALTH CENTERS SHARE A PUBLIC HEALTH ORIENTED PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NACHC INSPIRED A.T. STILL UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE IN ARIZONA, SUPPORTING ITS HOMETOWN SCHOLAR PIPELINE PROGRAM THAT STRIVES TO ENHANCE THE DIVERSITY OF THE PHYSICIAN WORKFORCE AND ITS CONGRUENCE WITH THE POPULATION SERVED BY RECRUITING FROM, RETAINING IN, THEREBY RESTORING COMMUNITIES.

IN NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA, TWCGME'S RESIDENT AND FELLOW PHYSICIAN LEARNERS TRAIN EXPERIENTIALLY IN FIVE REGIONAL HOSPITALS OPERATED BY COMMONWEALTH HEALTH, GEISINGER HEALTH SYSTEM, OR THE WILKES-BARRE VETERANS AFFAIRS MEDICAL CENTER (WBVAMC). TWCGME'S INTERNAL MEDICINE, FAMILY MEDICINE, AND PSYCHIATRY RESIDENCY PROGRAMS ARE ALSO PARTIALLY FUNDED BY THE HRSA TEACHING HEALTH CENTER GME PROGRAM AS DESCRIBED IN LINE 4A ABOVE; TWCGME'S NATIONAL FAMILY MEDICINE RESIDENCY PROGRAM AND GERIATRIC FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM ARE WHOLLY FUNDED BY HRSA'S TEACHING HEALTH CENTER GME PROGRAM AND RECEIVE NO RESOURCES FROM CMS GME AFFILIATES OR THE VA. NON-HRSA GME FUNDING IS PROVIDED TO TWCGME DIRECTLY BY THE WBVAMC AND CMS-FUNDED HOSPITALS VIA AFFILIATION AGREEMENTS. THE CONSORTIUM TRACKS AND REPORTS ROTATIONAL FTES BY PROGRAM ACROSS SPECIFIED FEDERAL COST CENTERS.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C PROGRAM SERVICE CONTINUED: TWCGME, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH A.T. STILL UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE IN ARIZONA (ATSU-SOMA) AS SUB-AWARDEE, AUGMENTED TRAINING ACROSS THE PRIMARY CARE CONTINUUM BY INTEGRATING INTERPROFESSIONAL TEAM-BASED, PATIENT-CENTERED HEALTH PROFESSIONS EDUCATION WITHIN NATIONALLY DISTRIBUTED COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER TRAINING SITES SEEKING TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO QUALITY HEALTHCARE FOR HIGHLY VULNERABLE AND HISTORICALLY UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS. THROUGH THIS PROJECT, TWCGME AND ATSU-SOMA CREATED ENHANCED PRIMARY CARE DIDACTICS, CONTEXTUAL CLINICAL LEARNING ACTIVITIES AND ASSESSMENTS, AND LEADERSHIP CONTENT TO PREPARE TRAINEES FOR PRACTICE IN EVOLVING HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS AND FUTURE CAREERS AS PUBLIC HEALTH CHAMPIONS AND SERVANT LEADERS FOR THEIR COMMUNITIES.
