Form and Line Reference Explanation
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 5 Facility A, 1 Facility A, 1 - THIS REPORTING GROUP INCLUDES THE FACILITIES LISTED ON LINES 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 AND 8 OF PART V, SECTION A.. Allegheny Health Network (AHN) executed a CHNA process that included collecting primary and secondary data. A formation of a working group consisting of members from AHN's Community Affairs oversaw the CHNA along with the project consultant, Tripp Umbach. Representatives from each AHN hospital facility and representatives from departments within AHN formed a steering committee that provided high-level feedback and input on primary and secondary data collected. Organizations and community stakeholders within the primary service area were engaged in identifying the needs of the community. Community organizations, government agencies, educational systems, and health and human services entities were engaged throughout the CHNA. The comprehensive primary data collection phase resulted in contributions from a multitude of regional community stakeholders from organizations. Input from the community was sought through a customized multi-language community survey, stakeholder interviews, and a provider survey. The community survey was employed to collect input from populations within Allegheny Health Network's service area to identify health risk factors and health needs in the community. Working with leadership from Community Affairs, the community survey was promoted on social media platforms, hospital websites, relationships with community-based organizations and clinics. Collecting surveys from community residents whose primary language was not English was an essential driver of the initiative. The community survey was available in English, Spanish, Nepalese, Chinese, and Arabic. The telephone interviews completed with community stakeholders as part of the CHNA phase helped to understand the changing community health environment. The interviews offered stakeholders an opportunity to provide feedback on the needs of the region they serve and other information relevant to the study. Community stakeholders targeted for interviews encompassed a wide variety of professional backgrounds, including: 1. Businesses 2. County and state government representatives 3. Economic development 4. Education 5. Faith-based communities 6. Foundations/philanthropic 7. Health care representatives 8. Law enforcement 9. Non-profits 10. Representatives of underserved populations 11. Social service representatives Within the interview and discussion process, overall health needs, themes, and concerns were presented. The qualitative data collected are the perceptions and opinions from community stakeholders as part of the CHNA process. The information provides insight and adds great depth to the qualitative data. Community stakeholders interviewed represented the following organizations: * AARP Work Search * AHN Cancer Institute * AHN Center for Inclusion Health * AHN Jefferson Front Door Initiative * AHN Westfield Board * Allegheny Center Alliance Church * Allegheny County Health Department (two community stakeholders interviewed) * Allegheny Township * Allen Place Community Services Inc. * Alliance for Nonprofit Resources Inc. * AWARE Domestic Violence Agency (Sexual Assault) * Bhutanese Community Association of Pittsburgh (BCAP) * Bloomfield Development Corporation * Buhl Regional Health Foundation of Mercer County * Butler County Tourism and Convention Bureau * Center for Community Resources * Erie County Executive * Erie County Health Department * Grove City Area United Way * Grove City Chamber of Commerce * Grove City School District * Grove Manor Corporation * Harvest Bible Chapel Pittsburgh North * Hefren-Tillotson Inc. * Heritage Community Initiatives * Jefferson Regional Foundation * Lawrenceville United Inc. * Light of Life Rescue Mission * Martin Luther King Center * Mayor of Erie * Mercer County Agency on Aging * Mercy Center for Women * Mon Valley Initiative * Monroeville Foundation * Mt. Olive Baptist Church * Municipality of Monroeville * Neighborhood Learning Alliance * Neighborhood Resilience Project * North Hills Community Outreach * North Way Christian Community Church * Northside Leadership Conference * Penn State University * Perry Hilltop Citizens Council * Pittsburgh North Regional Chamber of Commerce * Primary Health Network * Project Destiny Inc. * Saint Mary's Home of Erie * Salvation Army * Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest PA * Slippery Rock University * South Hills Interfaith Movement (SHIM) * Temple David * The Building Block of Natrona * The Lord's Church of Pittsburgh * United Way of Southwestern Pennsylvania * Walnut Grill Restaurant * Westfield Area Central School Board * Westfield Memorial Hospital Foundation * YMCA of Franklin and Grove City In addition, a provider survey was implemented to collect data from providers from the hospital's service areas and region to identify the community's needs and vulnerable populations and those partners/organizations that will be instrumental in addressing prioritized needs. Providers internal and external to Allegheny Health Network received a survey link. Community input was aligned with secondary data and presented to the CHNA Steering Committee as a framework for assessing current community needs, identifying new/emerging health issues, and advancing health improvement efforts to address identified needs.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility A, 1 Facility A, 1 - ALLEGHENY GENERAL HOSPITAL.

Organizations and community stakeholders within the primary service area were engaged in identifying the needs of the community. Community organizations, government agencies, educational systems, and health and human services entities were engaged throughout the CHNA. The comprehensive primary data collection phase resulted in contributions from a multitude of regional community stakeholders from organizations.

PATIENTS WHO MEET THE CRITERIA AS ESTABLISHED IN THE POLICY WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE INCLUDING FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE. A PATIENT MUST BE A CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OR A LAWFUL PERMANENT RESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND A RESIDENT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, OR NEW YORK STATE FOR WESTFIELD MEMORIAL HOSPITAL. INTERNATIONAL PATIENTS OR UNAUTHORIZED IMMIGRANTS MAY QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IF THEY ARE ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID. THERE MAY BE SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES FOR OUT-OF-STATE AND INTERNATIONAL PATIENTS (E.G., AUTO ACCIDENT, EMERGENT ILLNESS) UNDER WHICH, AT AHN'S SOLE DISCRETION, SUCH INDIVIDUALS COULD BE CONSIDERED FOR QUALIFICATION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE POLICY. THE PATIENT/GUARANTOR MUST BE ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE A GOOD FAITH EFFORT IN HAVING APPLIED FOR AND COMPLIED WITH AVAILABLE AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE BENEFIT ALTERNATIVES (E.G., MEDICAID ELIGIBILITY AND OTHER ACA SUBSIDIZED HEALTHCARE BENEFIT PROGRAMS), OR PROVIDE EVIDENCE THAT COVERAGE FOR MEDICAID OR OTHER PROGRAMS WOULD NOT BE GRANTED BEFORE BECOMING ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY CARE. THE PATIENT MUST SUBMIT A COMPLETED APPLICATION FOR CHARITY CARE WITHIN THE APPLICATION PERIOD. AHN WILL MAKE REASONABLE EFFORTS TO DETERMINE WHETHER AN INDIVIDUAL IS ELIGIBLE FOR OUTSIDE ASSISTANCE BEFORE ENGAGING AN EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION ACTION (ECAS) AGAINST THE INDIVIDUAL. REASONABLE EFFORTS FOR PURPOSES OF MEETING THESE REQUIREMENTS INCLUDE, A NOTIFICATION PERIOD AND AN APPLICATION PERIOD. THE NOTIFICATION PERIOD IS THE PERIOD IN WHICH AHN MUST NOTIFY AN INDIVIDUAL ABOUT THIS POLICY AND BEGINS ON THE DATE CARE IS PROVIDED TO THE INDIVIDUAL AND ENDS ON THE 120TH DAY AFTER AHN PROVIDES THE PATIENT WITH THE FIRST BILLING STATEMENT FOR THE CARE. IF THE INDIVIDUAL HAS FAILED TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION BY THE END OF THE NOTIFICATION PERIOD, AHN MAY ENGAGE IN EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION ACTIONS AGAINST THE INDIVIDUAL. HOWEVER, AHN WILL ACCEPT AND PROCESS APPLICATIONS SUBMITTED BY AN INDIVIDUAL DURING THE LONGER APPLICATION PERIOD THAT ENDS ON THE 240TH DAY AFTER AHN PROVIDES THE INDIVIDUAL WITH THE FIRST BILLING STATEMENT FOR THE CARE. PATIENTS WHO FAIL TO SUBMIT A COMPLETE APPLICATION OR FAIL TO RETURN THE APPLICATION INCLUDING SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION AFTER 240 DAYS MAY BE DENIED DUE TO FAILURE TO COMPLY. COVERAGE BY CHARITY CARE IS LIMITED TO BASIC MEDICAL CARE AND WILL ONLY APPLY TO EMERGENCY AND OTHER MEDICALLY NECESSARY SERVICES. CHARITY CARE WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE TO A PATIENT THAT REFUSES DISCHARGE AND INCURS ADDITIONAL CHARGES THAT ARE CONSIDERED MEDICALLY UNNECESSARY. CHARITY CARE DISCOUNTS APPLY ONLY TO DRUGS THAT ARE ADMINISTERED DURING AN INPATIENT STAY OR OUTPATIENT SERVICE. THESE DISCOUNTS DO NOT APPLY TO ANY OTHER DRUGS OR MAIL ORDER PRESCRIPTIONS. CHARITY CARE WILL NOT APPLY TO SERVICES THAT ARE COVERED BY AN INSURANCE CARRIER THAT HAS DENIED SERVICES DUE TO LITIGATION, LACK OF COOPERATION FROM THE PATIENT OR ERRONEOUS INFORMATION FROM THE PATIENT. PENSION ACCOUNTS ARE EXCLUDED. ONCE A PATIENT IS APPROVED, CHARITY CARE IS GRANTED FOR A PERIOD OF SIX MONTHS BEGINNING ON THE DATE OF APPROVAL. AHN WILL APPLY CHARITY CARE ADJUSTMENTS TO PRIOR ACCOUNTS THAT ARE WITHIN 240 DAYS FROM THE FIRST POST-DISCHARGE PATIENT BILLING STATEMENT THAT TRIGGERED THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION. HOWEVER, AHN RESERVES THE RIGHT TO LIMIT RETROACTIVE APPLICATION OF CHARITY CARE FOR TIME FRAMES IN EXCESS OF WHAT IS GENERALLY REQUIRED UNDER 501(R). GENERALLY, THIS LIMITATION WOULD ONLY APPLY WHEN EXTRAORDINARY DIFFERENCES EXIST BETWEEN THE PATIENT'S CURRENT FINANCIAL CONDITION AND THEIR FINANCIAL CONDITION IN THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD PRIOR TO APPROVAL AND WHEN SUCH DIFFERENCES ARE ALSO ACCOMPANIED BY A CLEAR INDICATION THAT SUFFICIENT FUNDS OR INCOME WERE AVAILABLE IN THE PRIOR PERIOD TO PAY OUTSTANDING MEDICAL BILLS. CHARITY CARE DISCOUNTS APPLY TO PATIENT LIABILITY AMOUNTS ONLY, AND NO INSURANCE AMOUNTS WILL BE CONSIDERED. APPROVED AMOUNTS MAY BE A RESULT OF THE FOLLOWING: (1) PATIENT DOES NOT HAVE MEDICAL ASSISTANCE OR ADEQUATE INSURANCE COVERAGE; (2) PATIENT HAS EXHAUSTED HIS/HER INSURANCE BENEFITS (E.G., EXCEEDED MAXIMUM COVERED DAYS/AMOUNT, EXCEEDED MEDICARE'S LIFETIME RESERVE DAYS); (3) PATIENT HAS A PRIMARY INSURANCE CARRIER WHO HAS RENDERED PAYMENT BUT A SECONDARY LIABILITY EXISTS FOR WHICH HE/SHE DOES NOT HAVE COVERAGE; (4) PATIENT IS CONSIDERED INDIGENT DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF MEDICAL DEBT INCURRED IN COMPARISON TO THE PATIENT'S FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES; (5) DECEASED PATIENT'S ESTATE WILL EXHAUST PRIOR TO PAYMENT OF THE FULL PATIENT BALANCE; (6) PATIENT HAS PROVIDED A FORMAL BANKRUPTCY JUDGMENT THAT IMPACTS THE DATE ON WHICH SERVICES WERE PROVIDED ALONG WITH UNDATED INCOME/ASSET INFORMATION; (7) PATIENT IS HOMELESS OR HAS PROVEN TO BE A RESIDENT OF A HOMELESS SHELTER; (8) PATIENT HAS PROVIDED A FORMAL AFFIDAVIT OR DOCUMENTATION REGARDING INCOME/ASSET INFORMATION AND/OR HOMELESS STATUS THAT QUALIFIES THE PATIENT FOR CHARITY CARE; OR (9) THE PATIENT HAS MEDICAID PART PAY BALANCES AND QUALIFIES FOR CHARITY CARE. THERE ARE THREE PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL CRITERIA THAT ARE APPLIED AS FOLLOWS IN ORDER TO DETERMINE WHETHER A PATIENT HAS ECONOMIC MEANS TO PAY AND WHETHER THAT PATIENT MEETS ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THIS POLICY, ASSUMING OTHER CRITERIA IN THE POLICY (SUCH AS RESIDENCY) ARE ALSO MET. (1) FIRST, A PATIENT'S LIQUID ASSETS ARE DETERMINED (SEE EARLIER DEFINITION OF LIQUID ASSETS). IF LIQUID ASSETS EXCEED THE CALCULATED THRESHOLD LEVEL INDICATED IN APPENDIX F, THEN ALL LIQUID ASSETS ABOVE THE THRESHOLD LEVEL MUST FIRST BE USED TO SATISFY ANY OUTSTANDING BALANCE OWED TO AHN BY A PATIENT. (2) ONCE STEP ONE HAS BEEN COMPLETED, IF THE PATIENT STILL OWES A BALANCE, THEN THE PATIENT WILL BE EVALUATED ON AN INCOME BASIS. IF THE PATIENT AND/OR GUARANTOR'S HOUSEHOLD INCOME IS AT OR BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL (FPL) GUIDELINES, THEN 100% OF THE BALANCE FOR WHICH THE PATIENT IS STILL RESPONSIBLE AND FOR WHICH FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE UNDER THIS POLICY, WILL BE FORGIVEN BY AHN. NO FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE FOR A PATIENT OR A GUARANTOR WHOSE ANNUAL INCOME IS GREATER THAN 200% OF THE FPL UNLESS THEY QUALIFY UNDER MEDICAL HARDSHIP. (3) AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO STEP 2, A PATIENT MAY DEMONSTRATE MEDICAL HARDSHIP. PATIENTS THAT MEET MEDICAL HARDSHIP CRITERIA QUALIFY FOR THE SAME FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BENEFIT AS INDIVIDUALS WHOSE INCOME IS AT OR BELOW 200% OF THE FPL GUIDELINES. GENERALLY, AHN DOES NOT PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO PATIENTS WHOSE INCOME EXCEEDS 200% OF THE FPL UNLESS THEY MEET THE CRITERIA FOR MEDICAL HARDSHIP. AHN DOES NOT USE ANY PREVIOUS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY DETERMINATIONS TO PRESUMPTIVELY APPROVE A PATIENT FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. WHEN A PATIENT'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE HAS TERMINATED, THE PATIENT MUST REAPPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. GENERALLY, ONCE QUALIFIED, AN INDIVIDUAL QUALIFIES AND REMAINS ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR A SIX-MONTH PERIOD BEFORE REQUIRING RE-QUALIFICATION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE POLICY. IN ADDITION, A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION FILED AND APPROVED AT ANY AHN HOSPITAL SHALL APPLY TO ALL AHN HOSPITALS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF WESTFIELD MEMORIAL HOSPITAL. HARDSHIP DOCUMENTATION MAY BE REQUIRED (I.E., CASES WITH EXCESSIVE MEDICATIONS, TERMINAL ILLNESS OR MULTIPLE HOSPITALIZATIONS). FOR A PATIENT THAT EXCEEDS 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES AND WHOSE ACCOUNT BALANCE EXCEEDS 25% OF THE ANNUAL HOUSEHOLD INCOME, AHN MAY CLAIM THE EXCESS BALANCE AS A HARDSHIP PROVIDED THAT THE PATIENT PROVIDES DOCUMENTATION OF INCOME, OR INCOME CAN BE DERIVED FROM OUTSIDE DATABASE SOURCES.

Schedule H, Part VI, Line 5 Promotion of community health THE HOSPITALS OF AHN PROMOTE THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF THEIR RESPECTIVE COMMUNITIES IN A VARIETY OF WAYS. FIRST AND FOREMOST, THEY DO SO THROUGH THE PROVISION OF EMERGENCY CARE AND TRAUMA CARE, OPERATING EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS 24 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK, WITH HIGHLY SKILLED AND TRAINED EMERGENCY MEDICINE PHYSICIANS AND NURSES. THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS ARE OPEN TO ALL INDIVIDUALS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY, AND PROVIDE SPECIALIZED, LIFE-SAVING CARE TO ALL WHO SEEK IT, REGARDLESS OF A PATIENT'S RACE, CREED, GENDER EXPRESSION, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, NATIONAL ORIGIN, PHYSICAL OR MENTAL DISABILITY. ADDITIONALLY, THE HOSPITALS AND CLINICS OF AHN SUPPORT A BROAD ARRAY OF CHARITABLE SERVICES AND PROGRAMS TO THE COMMUNITY BY PROVIDING SUBSIDIZED HEALTH CARE; SPONSORING COMMUNITY EVENTS (HEALTH FAIRS, CANCER SCREENINGS, WALKS, EDUCATIONAL SEMINARS, BENEFITS SEMINARS, SUPPORT GROUPS); AND MAKING CHARITABLE DONATIONS. THE SERVICES BENEFIT CHILDREN AND TEENS, ADULTS AND SENIORS, PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES, AND THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE. SOME OF THOSE SERVICES AND INITIATIVES INCLUDE: THE AHN POSITIVE HEALTH CLINIC; THE BRADDOCK URGENT CARE CENTER; FREE CANCER SCREENINGS; A MEDICAL RESPITE PROGRAM; THE OPEN-HEART SURGERY OBSERVATION PROGRAM; THE PERINATAL HOPE PROGRAM; AND MORE. (FOR ADDITIONAL DETAIL, SEE SCHEDULE O.) IN 2021, IN RESPONSE TO THE GLOBAL COVID-19 (CORONAVIRUS) PANDEMIC, AHN PARTICIAPATED IN AN UNPRECEDENTED PUBLIC HEALTH RESPONSE EFFORT, TO PROTECT AND EDUCATE THE COMMUNITY ABOUT THE THREATS POSED BY COVID-19, AND TO MITIGATE THE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS AND THE ILLNESS ASSOCIATED WITH IT. IN 2021, AHN'S COMMUNITY PANDEMIC RESPONSE FOCUSED LARGELY ON VACCINE DISTRIBUTION. AHN WORKED WITH CORPORATE, EDUCATIONAL PARTNERS, GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS, CHURCHES, AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO SUCCESSFULLY PLAN, STAFF, AND CONDUCT ITS VACCINATION CAMPAIGN. (FOR ADDITIONAL DETAIL, SEE SCHEDULE O.) IN 2021, AS REQUIRED BY THE PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, AHN EMBARKED ON A COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) TO COLLECT HEALTH AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC DATA TO DETERMINE THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ACROSS AHN'S WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA SERVICE FOOTPRINT. IN TAKING A SYSTEM-WIDE APPROACH TO COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT, AHN SOUGHT TO IDENTIFY REGIONAL HEALTH TRENDS AND UNIQUE DISPARITIES WITHIN HOSPITAL SERVICE AREAS. (FOR ADDITIONAL DETAIL, SEE SCHEDULE O.) OTHER INITIATIVES THAT IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF THE MANY COMMUNITIES SERVED BY AHN INCLUDE: - HEALTHY FOOD CENTER: A FIRST OF ITS KIND IN THE REGION, AHN'S HEALTHY FOOD CENTER AS A "FOOD PHARMACY" WHERE PATIENTS WHO LACK ACCESS TO FOOD CAN RECEIVE NUTRITIOUS FOOD ITEMS, EDUCATION ON DISEASE-SPECIFIC DIETS, AND ADDITIONAL SERVICES FOR OTHER SOCIAL CHALLENGES THEY MIGHT FACE. ACCORDING TO THE GREATER PITTSBURGH COMMUNITY FOOD BANK, A PARTNER OF THE HEALTHY FOOD CENTER, FOOD INSECURITY AFFECTS MORE THAN 350,000 PEOPLE - OR ONE IN SEVEN ADULTS - IN THE PITTSBURGH REGION. FOOD INSECURITY REFERS TO A LACK OF AVAILABLE FINANCIAL RESOURCES FOR NUTRITIONALLY ADEQUATE FOOD SUCH AS FRUITS, VEGETABLES, LEAN PROTEINS AND WHOLE GRAINS. THE HEALTHY FOOD CENTER PRIMARILY SERVES PATIENTS WITH DIABETES WHO ARE SCREENED BY THEIR DOCTOR AS BEING FOOD INSECURE. PATIENTS RECEIVE A REFERRAL TO THE HEALTHY FOOD CENTER WHERE THEY INITIALLY MEET WITH AN ONSITE DIETITIAN TO DISCUSS THEIR DIETARY NEEDS BASED ON THEIR CONDITION. AFTER SHOPPING AT THE CENTER FOR THE RECOMMENDED FOOD ITEMS, PATIENTS GO HOME WITH TWO TO THREE DAYS' WORTH OF FOOD FOR ALL MEMBERS OF THEIR HOUSEHOLD. THE FOOD CENTERS ARE HOUSED AT ALLEGHENY GENERAL, WEST PENN, JEFFERSON AND WEST PENN HOSPITALS. - HEALTHCARE@HOME: AHN MAKES IT EASIER FOR PATIENTS TO ACCESS A FULL RANGE OF CUSTOMIZED HEALTHCARE SERVICES IN THE PRIVACY AND COMFORT OF THEIR OWN HOMES. THROUGH AHN'S HEALTHCARE@HOME PROGRAM, AHN IS HELPING MANY PATIENTS MAINTAIN THEIR INDEPENDENCE AND CONTINUE THE HEALING PROCESS AT HOME AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. THE SERVICE ARRANGES FOR HOME HEALTH, HOSPICE, PALLIATIVE, AND INFUSION THERAPY SERVICES, AS WELL AS THE DELIVERY OF MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES, ALLOWING PATIENTS TO REMAIN IN THEIR OWN HOMES, AND IN THEIR OWN COMMUNITIES, AND OUT OF THE HOSPITAL OR A SKILLED NURSING FACILITY. - COMMUNITY-BASED DIABETES CARE: AHN, WITH FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM THE RICHARD KING MELLON FOUNDATION, IS ADVANCING A TRANSFORMATIONAL, COMMUNITY-BASED DIABETES CARE MODEL IN THE REGION. MORE THAN 29 MILLION PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES, OR NEARLY 10% OF THE POPULATION, ARE AFFECTED BY DIABETES. AT THE CURRENT PACE OF THE EPIDEMIC, THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION (CDC) ESTIMATES THAT AS MANY AS ONE IN THREE PEOPLE COULD HAVE DIABETES BY THE YEAR 2050. THE YEARLY ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE DISEASE AND ITS COMPLICATIONS EXCEEDS $245 BILLION; TO BETTER ADDRESS THE GROWING INCIDENCE AND IMPACT OF DIABETES IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA, AHN HAS ESTABLISHED A PATIENT-CENTERED MODEL OF CARE TO MORE EFFECTIVELY MEET THE COMPREHENSIVE NEEDS OF THOSE LIVING WITH THE DISEASE. THE RICHARD KING MELLON FOUNDATION GRANT PROVIDES PATIENTS IN THE AHN PROGRAM WITH ACCESS TO A RANGE OF MEDICAL AND OTHER SUPPORT SERVICES IN THE COMMUNITY. AT THE CORE OF THE NEW CARE MODEL ARE PHYSICIAN-LED, HOLISTIC ASSESSMENTS TO UNDERSTAND A PATIENT'S INDIVIDUAL NEEDS AND TO UNCOVER POTENTIAL BARRIERS TO SUCCESSFUL DISEASE MANAGEMENT. CRUCIALLY, DIABETES CARE COORDINATORS ARE HELPING TO CONNECT PATIENTS WITH A VARIETY OF SPECIALISTS TO HELP THEM MANAGE THEIR DISEASE MORE EFFECTIVELY, INCLUDING NUTRITIONISTS, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH COUNSELORS AND SOCIAL WORKERS. IN ADDITION, PATIENTS ARE CONNECTED WITH SERVICES AND ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITIES TO HELP FURTHER IMPROVE AND ENHANCE THEIR OVERALL CARE, SUCH AS LOCAL FOOD BANKS OFFERING HEALTHY DIETARY OPTIONS, THE AMERICAN DIABETES ASSOCIATION AND JDRF. - CHILD SAFETY DAY: CANONSBURG HOSPITAL (PART OF AHN) SPONSORS A SPRING CHILD SAFETY DAY ON ITS HOSPITAL GROUNDS FOR A DAY OF FUN, EDUCATION, AND PRIZES. EACH FAMILY ATTENDING IS GIVEN A FREE FIRST-AID KIT, AND HOSPITAL STAFF WILL DISTRIBUTED MORE THAN 300 BICYCLE HELMETS. WHILE CHILD DEATHS RELATED TO UNINTENTIONAL INJURY OR TRAUMA HAVE DROPPED DRAMATICALLY OVER THE LAST 30 YEARS, UNINTENTIONAL INJURIES (MOTOR VEHICLE/TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS, SUFFOCATION, DROWNING, POISONING, AND FIRE/BURNING) ARE STILL THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH FOR CHILDREN, AND MANY TRAUMA-RELATED INJURIES INCREASE IN THE SUMMER AFTER SCHOOL LETS OUT. - OPIOIDS AND ADDICTION MEDICINE: OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, AHN HAS TAKEN NUMEROUS STEPS TO CURB PAINKILLER MISUSE AND ADDICTION, OPIOID USE DISORDER, AND OVERDOSE DEATHS RELATED TO FENTANYL, CARFENTANIL, AND OTHER SYNTHETIC OPIATES. IN 2019, AHN RECEIVED A $5 MILLION FEDERAL GRANT FROM THE SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ADMINISTRATION (SAMHSA) TO WILL SUPPORT THE IMPLEMENTATION AND EVALUATION OF ENHANCED SUBSTANCE USE SCREENING AND INTERVENTION SERVICES IN THE PRIMARY CARE SETTING. ADDITIONALLY, AHN AND GATEWAY HEALTH HAVE PARTNERED TO LAUNCH AN ENHANCED PAIN MANAGEMENT PROGRAM WHICH TAKES A NOVEL, HOLISTIC APPROACH TO TREATING A PATIENT'S PAIN WITHOUT OPIOIDS. THE FIRST SUCH CLINIC HAS OPENED AT THE AHN INSTITUTE FOR PAIN MEDICINE NEAR WEST PENN HOSPITAL, WITH MORE LOCATIONS BEING PLANNED. AHN AND PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS OPENED A NEW 45-BED UNIT AT THE KANE COMMUNITY LIVING CENTER IN MCKEESPORT, PA.; IT HAS BEEN OPERATING SINCE 2018 AS A POST-ACUTE UNIT FOR PATIENTS WITH MEDICAL CONDITIONS AND CO-OCCURRING SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS. AHN MAINTAINS SECURE, PERMANENT DRUG TAKE-BACK BOXES AT SIX AHN HOSPITALS, AS WELL AS AT THE WEXFORD HEALTH + WELLNESS PAVILION; THE BOXES HAVE ALLOWED PATIENTS AND VISITORS TO DISPOSE OF SURPLUS OR EXPIRED MEDICATIONS YEAR-ROUND SINCE 2018.

THE CENTER PROVIDES ITS PATIENT POPULATIONS WITH PRIMARY CARE ACCESS; A SUPPORT STAFF THAT INCLUDES PHYSICIANS, NURSES, MEDICAL ASSISTANTS, SOCIAL WORKERS, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH THERAPISTS, PSYCHIATRISTS AND PATIENT ADVOCATES; SPECIALIZED HIV CARE; MEDICATION ADHERENCE COUNSELING AND PHARMACY SUPPORT; GYNECOLOGIC CARE; NUTRITIONAL ASSESSMENT AND COUNSELING BY A REGISTERED DIETITIAN; SMOKING CESSATION PROGRAMS; MENTAL HEALTH ASSESSMENT, COUNSELING AND PSYCHIATRIC SUPPORT; AND CASE-MANAGEMENT FOR NON-MEDICAL NEEDS. THE STAFF ASSISTS WITH FINANCIAL OR SOCIAL ISSUES THAT MAY INTERFERE WITH THE PROVISION OF MEDICAL CARE. THE CENTER INCLUDES AHN'S STREET MEDICINE AND HOMELESS HEALTH CARE PROGRAM. PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS OR LIVING IN UNSTABLE HOUSING SITUATIONS OFTEN FIND IT HARD TO GET ROUTINE HEALTH CARE THAT IS SENSITIVE AND FLEXIBLE ENOUGH TO MEET THEIR NEEDS. AHN'S HOMELESS HEALTH CARE SERVICES REACH PEOPLE BY PROVIDING CARE WHEREVER THEY ARE: AT HOMELESS SHELTERS, ON THE STREETS, IN HOSPITALS, AND AT OTHER LOCATIONS. AHN'S ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF HOMELESSNESS, POVERTY, AND POOR HEALTH THROUGH TRUSTING, RESPECTFUL AND COMPASSIONATE HEALTH CARE RELATIONSHIPS. PRIMARY CARE AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES ARE PROVIDED IN A VARIETY OF SETTINGS, INCLUDING STREET MEDICINE, AT HOMELESS CAMPS, AT HOMELESS SHELTERS, AND "BRIDGE" SERVICES FOR THOSE EXPERIENCING HOUSING INSTABILITY AND WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED A RECENT ILLNESS, SURGERY, OR HOSPITALIZATION. CENTER ALSO HOUSES A NEW AHN PROGRAM FOR HOMELESS AND URBAN POVERTY MEDICINE. THE PROGRAM PUTS TRAINED SOCIAL WORKERS AND OTHER HELPERS ON THE STREETS BETWEEN 8 A.M. AND 5 P.M. IN DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH AND SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS. AHN HAS ALSO CREATED A 'FIRST-RESPONDER' TEAM THAT RESPONDS WITH CITY POLICE TO CALLS FOR ASSISTANCE THAT INVOLVE THE HOMELESS, PEOPLE IN MENTAL CRISIS OR THOSE WHO HAVE OVERDOSED ON DRUGS, IN NONVIOLENT AND NONDANGEROUS SITUATIONS, TO PROVIDE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SUPPORT AND OTHER SOCIAL SERVICES. ALSO IN 2021, AHN OPENED THE FIRST OF THREE PLANNED COMMUNITY OUTREACH HUBS, DESIGNED TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS OR DEALING WITH SUBSTANCE ABUSE OR MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. THE GOAL IS TO CREATE A SPACE FREE OF DISCRIMINATION AND STIGMA WHERE PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS OR HOUSING INSTABILITY CAN RECEIVE CARE. AT THESE CENTERS, PATIENTS WILL HAVE A STREAMLINED CONNECTION TO HEALTHCARE SERVICES OUTSIDE THE FACILITY, LIKE SOCIAL SERVICES, HOUSING RESOURCES AND COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS. THE AHN STREET MEDICINE TEAM STAFFS THE OUTREACH CENTER WITH A DOCTOR AND A PSYCHIATRIST, AND CAN ALSO MAKE REFERRALS TO OTHER PARTNERS LIKE THE FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTERS AND COMMUNITY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS FOR FOLLOW-UP VISITS. POLICE OFFICERS CAN UTILIZE THESE OUTREACH HUBS FOR PEOPLE SUFFERING A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS OR FACING LOW-LEVEL OFFENSE FOR A REFERRAL TO A BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICE, AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO INCARCERATION.
Schedule O CHILL: THE CHILL PROJECT USES MINDFULNESS-BASED EXERCISES TO EQUIP STUDENTS, TEACHERS, AND PARENTS WITH A COMMON LANGUAGE AND UNIVERSAL SKILLS TO IDENTIFY, DISCUSS, AND REACT POSITIVELY TO STRESS. SCHOOL HAS ALWAYS BEEN A SOURCE OF STRESS, WHETHER ONE IS TAKING CLASSES, TEACHING OR PARENTING A STUDENT. NEGATIVE REACTIONS TO STRESS CREATE A SIGNIFICANT BARRIER TO LEARNING AND GROWTH. THE CHILL PROJECT FEATURES DEDICATED PROFESSIONALS, A CALMING SPACE, AND REGULAR INSTRUCTION TO HELP EVERY MEMBER OF A SCHOOL'S COMMUNITY BETTER HANDLE PRESSURE AND ANXIETY. THE PROJECT STARTED IN BALDWIN-WHITEHALL SCHOOL DISTRICT AND WEST JEFFERSON HILLS SCHOOL DISTRICT AND HAS SINCE EXPANDED TO 20 SCHOOLS IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. PARTICIPATING SCHOOLS HAVE EXPERIENCED: REDUCED NUMBER OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH INCIDENTS FOR STUDENTS, LIKE CHRONIC ABSENCE, DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR, DROPPING OUT AND FEELINGS OF HOPELESSNESS; INCREASED ACCESS TO RESOURCES AND SENSE OF PROFESSIONAL QUALITY OF LIFE FOR EDUCATORS AND ADMINISTRATORS AS WELL AS INCREASED WELL-BEING FOR PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS; ENHANCED MINDFUL AWARENESS AND RESILIENCY ACROSS THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY. PARTICIPANTS IN THE CHILL PROJECT HAVE ACCESS TO: ONE-TO-ONE COUNSELING; SUPPORT GROUPS; MEDICATION MANAGEMENT; SCHOOL-BASED OUTPATIENT SERVICES; SCHOOL-WIDE PREVENTIVE SERVICES; PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES; A SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL CURRICULUM AND CLASSROOM CONSULTATIONS; EXERCISES AND CONSULTATIONS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR STUDENT ATHLETES. THE PROGRAM WAS DESIGNED IN COLLABORATION WITH THE PARTICIPATING SCHOOLS. COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT: IN 2021, AS REQUIRED BY THE PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, AHN EMBARKED ON ANOTHER COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA), BUILDING UPON THE HOSPITALS' PREVIOUS CHNAS CONDUCTED IN 2013,2015 AND 2018. AHN'S 2021 CHNA INCLUDED THE FOURTEEN HOSPITALS THAT WERE PART OF THE HIGHMARK HEALTH GROUP AT THAT TIME. THE RESULTS OF THE CHNA ENABLE AHN AND ITS FOURTEEN HOSPITALS, ALONG WITH OTHER COMMUNITY AGENCIES AND PROVIDERS, TO SET PRIORITIES, DEVELOP INTERVENTIONS AND DIRECT RESOURCES TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE LIVING IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND SOUTHWESTERN NEW YORK. THE CHNA PROVIDES A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE FOR AHN'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT EFFORTS; THE CHNA IDENTIFIES NEEDS WITHIN EACH OF AHN'S HOSPITAL COMMUNITIES AND ENABLES AHN TO WORK WITH LOCAL PARTNERS IN A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH TO COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT, DIRECTING SYSTEM-WIDE RESOURCES TO IMPROVE ACCESS AND OUTCOMES AND REDUCE HEALTH DISPARITIES THROUGHOUT AHN'S SERVICE FOOTPRINT. THE CHNA INITIATIVE ALIGNS WITH ONGOING COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT ACTIVITIES IN AHN'S LOCAL HOSPITAL SERVICE AREAS, AS WELL AS PUBLIC HEALTH EFFORTS DIRECTED BY THE ALLEGHENY AND ERIE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENTS; WHERE APPLICABLE, AHN HAS ALIGNED PRIORITIES AND PLANNING WITH THESE LOCAL AND REGIONAL INITIATIVES TO FOSTER COLLABORATION IN COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT. COMMUNITY SUPPORT, EVENTS AND SPONSORSHIPS: THROUGHOUT 2021, AHN PROVIDED OVER $1 MILLION IN FUNDING TO SUPPORT COMMUNITY HEALTH, HEALTH EQUITY, AND COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC RESILIENCE IN THE POPULATIONS SERVED BY AHN. COVID-19 RESPONSE: IN 2021, AHN'S COMMUNITY PANDEMIC RESPONSE FOCUSED LARGELY ON VACCINE DISTRIBUTION. AHN WORKED WITH CORPORATE PARTNERS (THE PITTSBURGH PIRATES, DICK'S SPORTING GOODS, RLA LEARNING CENTER, NEXT TIER, PITTSBURGH MILLS, MSA SAFETY, MASSARO CONSTRUCTION), EDUCATIONAL PARTNERS (BALDWIN-WHITEHALL SCHOOL DISTRICT, CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY, COMMUNITY COLLEGE OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY), GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS (ALLEGHENY COUNTY AIRPORT AUTHORITY, ALLEGHENY COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT, ALLEGHENY COUNTY JAIL, U.S. ARMY NATIONAL GUARD, PORT AUTHORITY OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY, THE MONROEVILLE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE), CHURCHES (PETRA INTERNATIONAL MINISTRIES, MACEDONIA CHURCH, MT. ARARAT, CHURCH IN THE ROUND), AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS (THE JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER, LATINO CONNECTION, CASA SAN JOSE, JUBILEE SOUP KITCHEN, AUBERLE, PITTSBURGH GROUP ON HEALTH, PITTSBURGH TECHNOLOGY COUNCIL, GATEWAY HEALTH PLAN, GREATER VALLEY COMMUNITY SERVICES), AMONG OTHER ORGANIZATIONS IN ORDER TO SUCCESSFULLY PLAN, STAFF, AND CARRY OUT ITS VACCINATION CAMPAIGN. PARTNERSHIPS INVOLVED SCOUTING AND SECURING LOCATIONS, AND FOR MANY OF THE LARGEST VACCINATION EVENTS, THE PARTNERING ORGANIZATIONS ALSO SUPPLIED MANY VOLUNTEERS WHO ASSISTED WITH WAYFINDING, GREETING PATIENTS, PARKING, ESCORTING PATIENTS TO AND FROM THEIR CARS, AS WELL AS SET-UP AND TEAR-DOWN. MANY OF OUR PARTNERS WORKED WITH THEIR ORGANIZATIONS AND COMMUNITIES TO PROMOTE THE EVENTS AND SCHEDULE VACCINATIONS, ESPECIALLY WITHIN MINORITY COMMUNITIES. FROM THE BEGINNING, AHN AGREED TO DIRECT 15-20 PERCENT OF ALL VACCINE DOSES TO MINORITY PATIENTS AND TRADITIONALLY UNDER-SERVED GEOGRAPHIES, WHICH REFLECTS THE ACTUAL POPULATION DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE REGION. AHN DID THAT THROUGH SPECIALIZED, INVITATION-ONLY AND WALK-IN CLINICS (FOR PATIENTS WHO RANK HIGH ON THE CDC'S PREVENTION SOCIAL VULNERABILITY INDEX), AS WELL AS THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS WITH COMMUNITY AND FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATIONS THAT SERVE MINORITY POPULATIONS (SUCH AS PREDOMINANTLY BLACK CHURCHES). TO REACH THESE POPULATIONS, AHN UTILIZED DATA FROM OUR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEM AND OUR AFFILIATED HEALTH PLANS TO IDENTIFY MINORITY POPULATIONS AND THOSE LIVING IN VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES. AHN ALSO ENGAGED WITH THE LOCAL AFRICAN AMERICAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, LATINO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, ASIAN COMMUNITY LEADERS, DISABILITY COMMUNITIES, AND OTHER TARGETED POPULATIONS. THE RESULT OF THE MASS-VACCINATION EFFORT: AHN SUCCESSFULLY ORGANIZED THE REGION'S FIRST AND LARGEST PUBLIC VACCINATION CAMPAIGN SINCE THE POLIO VACCINE DRIVES OF THE LATE 1950S. THROUGH 2021, AHN ADMINISTERED 400,000 VACCINE DOSES, TO MORE THAN 200,000 INDIVIDUAL PATIENTS. ADDITIONALLY, APPROXIMATELY 17 PERCENT OF ALL OF AHN'S VACCINE DOSES WERE ADMINISTERED TO PATIENTS WHO SELF-IDENTIFY AS BEING PART OF A MINORITY GROUP (WHICH IS PROPORTIONAL TO THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE REGION). IN TOTAL, AHN SPENT APPROXIMATELY $6.1 MILLION ON PANDEMIC RESPONSE ACTIVITIES IN 2021. DONATE LIFE MONTH: IN 2021, AHN'S COMMITMENT TO ORGAN, TISSUE, AND CORNEA DONATION RESULTED IN THOUSANDS OF LIVES SAVED OR IMPROVED, EITHER THROUGH TRANSPLANT PROCEDURES CARRIED OUT AT THE NETWORK'S HOSPITALS, OR BECAUSE OF THE GENEROSITY OF ORGAN AND TISSUE DONORS WHO WERE PATIENTS AT AHN HOSPITALS. AHN PROMOTES ORGAN AND TISSUE DONATION THROUGHOUT THE MONTH OF APRIL (NATIONAL DONATE LIFE MONTH) BY HOSTING A SERIES OF EVENTS ACROSS ITS HOSPITALS. THE EVENTS WILL PAY TRIBUTE TO THOSE WHO HAVE GIVEN THE GIFT OF LIFE WHILE ALSO ENCOURAGING STAFF, PATIENTS AND VISITORS TO LEARN MORE ABOUT ORGAN DONATION AND HOW TO BECOME A REGISTERED ORGAN DONOR. IN 2021, AHN'S DONATE LIFE MONTH AWARENESS EFFORTS RESULTED IN MORE THAN 1,100 INDIVIDUALS SIGNING UP TO BE ORGAN DONORS, EARNING THE NETWORK THE STATE'S HIGHEST PLATINUM AWARD. FIRST STEPS AND BEYOND: AHN's "FIRST STEPS AND BEYOND" PROGRAM, LAUNCHED IN 2021, IS DESIGNED TO DECREASE BLACK INFANT MORTALITY RATES, REDUCE PRETERM BIRTH RATES AND INCREASE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT SAFE SLEEP. THIS PIVOTAL PROGRAM AIMS TO EXPAND PRENATAL, PERINATAL, BIRTH DOULA AND FATHERHOOD SERVICES AS WELL AS DEVELOP INTERVENTIONS FOR FAMILIES EXPERIENCING OPPRESSION AND HARDSHIP, ESPECIALLY DUE TO RACIAL INEQUALITY. FETAL DEATHS ARE TWO TIMES MORE LIKELY AMONG PITTSBURGH'S BLACK WOMEN COMPARED TO WHITE WOMEN, ACCORDING TO A RECENT REPORT BY THE CITY OF PITTSBURGH GENDER EQUITY COMMISSION. FOR BLACK WOMEN IN PITTSBURGH, 18 OUT OF EVERY 1,000 PREGNANCIES WILL END IN A FETAL DEATH, COMPARED TO ONLY NINE OUT OF EVERY 1,000 PREGNANCIES IN WHITE PATIENT POPULATIONS. THIS PROGRAM IS SUPPORTED BY THE HEINZ ENDOWMENTS AND THE HIGHMARK FOUNDATION. FRONT DOOR INITIATIVE: AHN'S JEFFERSON HOSPITAL IS UTILIZING A $1 MILLION, FOUR-YEAR GRANT TO ESTABLISH THE "FRONT DOOR INITIATIVE FOR EMERGENCY MEDICINE," A COMPREHENSIVE EFFORT TO BETTER UNDERSTAND AND ADDRESS THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH AMONG PATIENTS WHO VISIT THE HOSPITAL'S EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT. PATIENTS WHO FREQUENTLY UTILIZE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT OFTEN DO SO BECAUSE OF CHALLENGES FACED IN THEIR SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT. JEFFERSON HOSPITAL WILL APPLY THE GRANT TOWARD: EXTENSIVE ASSESSMENT OF COMMUNITY NEEDS RELATED TO ITS EMERGENCY SERVICES; IDENTIFICATION OF MODEL PRACTICES FOR SOCIAL EMERGENCY MEDICINE; WORKING WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF A FRONT DOOR VISION AND PLAN; IMPLEMENTATION OF A STRONG DATA SYSTEM; EDUCATIONAL INTERVENTIONS FOR STAFF; AND DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTEGRATED SUPPORT NETWORK AND ENSURING PATIENTS ARE PROPERLY CONNECTED TO IT.
Schedule O HEALTHY FOOD CENTER: A FIRST OF ITS KIND IN THE REGION, AHN'S HEALTHY FOOD CENTERS ACT AS A "FOOD PHARMACY" WHERE PATIENTS WHO LACK ACCESS TO FOOD CAN RECEIVE NUTRITIOUS FOOD ITEMS, EDUCATION ON DISEASE-SPECIFIC DIETS, AND ADDITIONAL SERVICES FOR OTHER SOCIAL CHALLENGES THEY MIGHT FACE. ACCORDING TO THE GREATER PITTSBURGH COMMUNITY FOOD BANK, A PARTNER OF THE HEALTHY FOOD CENTER, FOOD INSECURITY AFFECTS MORE THAN 350,000 PEOPLE - OR ONE IN SEVEN ADULTS - IN THE PITTSBURGH REGION. FOOD INSECURITY REFERS TO A LACK OF AVAILABLE FINANCIAL RESOURCES FOR NUTRITIONALLY ADEQUATE FOOD SUCH AS FRUITS, VEGETABLES, LEAN PROTEINS AND WHOLE GRAINS. THE HEALTHY FOOD CENTER PRIMARILY SERVES PATIENTS WITH DIABETES WHO ARE SCREENED BY THEIR DOCTOR AS BEING FOOD INSECURE. PATIENTS RECEIVE A REFERRAL TO THE HEALTHY FOOD CENTER AT WEST PENN AND ALLEGHENY GENERAL HOSPITALS WHERE THEY INITIALLY MEET WITH AN ONSITE DIETITIAN TO DISCUSS THEIR DIETARY NEEDS BASED ON THEIR CONDITION. AFTER SHOPPING AT THE CENTER FOR THE RECOMMENDED FOOD ITEMS, PATIENTS GO HOME WITH TWO TO THREE DAYS' WORTH OF FOOD FOR ALL MEMBERS OF THEIR HOUSEHOLD. THE HEALTHY FOOD CENTER OPENED IN 2018 AT WPH AND SUBSEQUENTLY EXPANDED TO AGH, JH, AND SVH. IN 2021, ANOTHER HEALTHY FOOD CENTER OPENED IN AHN'S FORBES HOSPITAL. OPEN HEART SURGERY OBSERVATION: SINCE 2008, HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS FROM WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA, WEST VIRGINIA AND OHIO HAVE BEEN INVITED TO OBSERVE AHN'S CARDIOVASCULAR SURGEONS IN ACTION THROUGH THE CARDIOVASCULAR INSTITUTE'S (CVI) OPEN HEART SURGERY OBSERVATION PROGRAM. THE PROGRAM, WHICH HAS HOSTED MORE THAN 20,500 AREA STUDENTS FROM DOZENS OF SCHOOLS, IS PART OF AHN'S AND THE CVI'S COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY EDUCATION AND INSPIRING FUTURE GENERATIONS OF HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS. OPIOIDS AND ADDICTION MEDICINE: OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, AHN HAS TAKEN NUMEROUS STEPS TO CURB PAINKILLER MISUSE AND ADDICTION, OPIOID USE DISORDER, AND OVERDOSE DEATHS RELATED TO FENTANYL, CARFENTANIL, AND OTHER SYNTHETIC OPIATES. IN 2019, AHN RECEIVED A $5 MILLION FEDERAL GRANT FROM THE SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ADMINISTRATION (SAMSHA) TO SUPPORT THE IMPLEMENTATION AND EVALUATION OF ENHANCED SUBSTANCE USE SCREENING AND INTERVENTION SERVICES IN THE PRIMARY CARE SETTING. ADDITIONALLY, AHN AND GATEWAY HEALTH (NOW HIGHMARK WHOLECARE) HAVE PARTNERED TO LAUNCH AN ENHANCED PAIN MANAGEMENT PROGRAM WHICH TAKES A NOVEL, HOLISTIC APPROACH TO TREATING A PATIENT'S PAIN WITHOUT OPIOIDS. THE FIRST SUCH CLINIC HAS OPENED AT THE AHN INSTITUTE FOR PAIN MEDICINE NEAR WEST PENN HOSPITAL. AHN HAS ESTABLISHED A NEW, COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM DESIGNED TO HELP PATIENTS WITH OPIOID-RELATED SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS RECEIVE THE HEALTH AND COMMUNITY-BASED CARE AND SUPPORT THEY NEED TO RECOVER FROM THEIR ILLNESS AND MAINTAIN LONG-TERM WELLNESS. CALLED THE AHN CENTER OF EXCELLENCE FOR OPIOID USE DISORDER, THE CENTER IS ONE OF 45 PROGRAMS IMPLEMENTED ACROSS PENNSYLVANIA, ALL OF WHICH ARE SUPPORTED BY A GRANT FROM THE STATE'S DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES. AHN WAS ALSO ONE OF THE FIRST HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS IN PENNSYLVANIA TO PARTNER WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT TO HELP CURB THE DEADLY EFFECTS OF OPIOID OVERDOSES; EMERGENCY MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS AT FORBES HOSPITAL BEGAN TRAINING POLICE OFFICERS FROM THE PITCAIRN POLICE DEPARTMENT TO DISPENSE NARCAN, A NARCOTIC "ANTIDOTE" DRUG, TO OVERDOSE VICTIMS. SINCE THEN, AHN PROVIDED THE TRAINING TO OTHER POLICE DEPARTMENTS, INCLUDING MONROEVILLE, EAST MCKEESPORT AND THE WESTMORELAND COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT. PERINATAL HOPE: THE PERINATAL HOPE PROGRAM IS A MEDICAL HOME CARE MODEL FOR MOTHERS-TO-BE WHO ARE ADDICTED TO DRUGS. THE PROGRAM PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE AND COORDINATED TREATMENT THAT PUTS THE MOTHER AND BABY ON TRACK FOR A MORE HOPEFUL FUTURE.

PERINATAL HOPE IS SUPPORTED IN PART BY GRANTS FROM THE MARCH OF DIMES FOUNDATION - WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA, THE HIGHMARK FOUNDATION AND THE JEWISH WOMEN'S FOUNDATION OF GREATER PITTSBURGH. ADDITIONALLY, AHN'S NEW WOMEN'S BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROGRAM INCLUDES THE REGION'S FIRST INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT PROGRAM FOR WOMEN WITH PREGNANCY-RELATED DEPRESSION. IN 2021, THE PERINATAL HOPE PROGRAM EXPANDED INTO BUTLER AND ERIE COUNTIES. ALSO IN 2021, WPH, FH AND SVH WERE DESIGNATED AS "VERMONY OXFORD CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE IN NEONATAL ABSTINENCE SYNDROME CARE." RIVER CLINIC: AHN'S 'RETHINKING INCARCERATION AND EMPOWERING RECOVERY' (RIvER) CLINIC IS THE ONLY IN THE GREATER PITTSBURGH REGION WHERE PEOPLE WHO WERE FORMERLY INCARCERATED CAN RECEIVE CARE, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY, IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING DISCHARGE FROM JAIL.

OTHER SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDE VITAL STRATEGIES, ALLEGHENY COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES, PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES AND THE SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ADMINISTRATION (SAMHSA). STOP THE BLEED: AS PART OF THIS ONGOING COMMUNITY AWARENESS CAMPAIGN, AHN TRAUMA CENTER REPRESENTATIVES PARTNER WITH EMS PROFESSIONALS TO PROVIDE SCHOOL OFFICIALS WITH TRAINING ON HOW TO HELP CONTROL BLEEDING FROM INJURIES IN THE EVENT OF A MASS CAUSALLY INCIDENT. SIMILAR TO HOW HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS EDUCATE THE GENERAL PUBLIC IN CPR, THE "STOP THE BLEED" CAMPAIGN FOCUSES ON TRAINING THE GENERAL PUBLIC IN BLEEDING CONTROL TECHNIQUES. IN MASS CASUALTY INCIDENTS, INDIVIDUALS OFTEN SUFFER INJURIES THAT RESULT IN PREVENTABLE DEATHS. BY TRAINING THE GENERAL PUBLIC IN BASIC BLEEDING CONTROL TECHNIQUES, BYSTANDERS WILL BE ABLE TO INITIATE LIFESAVING MEASURES BEFORE THE FIRST RESPONDERS ARRIVE. SUMMER CAMP FOR BURN INJURED CHILDREN: IN 1986, WEST PENN BURN CENTER ESTABLISHED ITS SUMMER CAMP FOR BURN INJURED CHILDREN. THE CAMP GIVES CHILDREN WHO HAVE BEEN BURNED A CHANCE TO HEAL PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY IN A SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT THAT OFFERED PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR FUN. AT THE FREE, FIVE-DAY CAMP, KIDS AGES 7 TO 17 WHO HAVE BEEN TREATED AT THE WEST PENN BURN CENTER MEET TO SHARE THEIR STORIES AND ENJOY NEW EXPERIENCES. WITH THE GUIDANCE OF SKILLED PROFESSIONALS, CHILDREN ARE ENCOURAGED TO MEET NEW CHALLENGES AND TO TAKE POSITIVE RISKS BY PARTICIPATING IN ADVENTURES - SUCH AS ROPE CLIMBING - THAT HELPS BUILD CONFIDENCE WHILE ALSO BUILDING STRONG BODIES. IN 2020 AND 2021, THE BURN CAMP WAS CARRIED OUT VIRTUALLY, DUE TO COVID-19 CONCERNS, BUT THE CAMP WILL RETURN TO IN-PERSON ACTIVITIES IN 2022. THRIVE 18: THIS IS A NATIONAL PROGRAM THAT LEVERAGES MULTI-SECTOR COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS IN ORDER TO IMPROVE PUBLIC HEALTH IN PITTSBURGH'S NORTHERN NEIGHBORHOODS.
