CHRISTOPHER'S HOSPITAL FOR CHILDREN WAS ONE OF THE FIRST IN THE REGION TO BEGIN SCREENING FOR SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH (SDOH) IN 2011. SCREENINGS ARE PERFORMED IN THE CENTER FOR THE URBAN CHILD (PRIMARY CARE), CENTER FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH WITH SPECIAL HEALTHCARE NEEDS, ADOLESCENT MEDICINE, AND IMMUNOLOGY, AND ST. CHRIS PEDIATRIC ASSOCIATES AT NORTHEAST PEDIATRICS (PRIMARY CARE) CLINICS. OVER 8,000 SCREENINGS ARE PERFORMED ANNUALLY. OUR GOAL IS TO CONNECT PATIENTS AND FAMILIES WITH ACCESS TO THE RESOURCES THEY NEED TO LIVE THEIR HEALTHIEST LIVES, INCLUDING THROUGH CLINICAL SCREENING AND INTERVENTIONS FOR SDOH. BREASTFEEDING SUPPORT IS A COMMON NEED IDENTIFIED IN SCREENINGS PERFORMED IN THE NEWBORN CLINIC. BREASTFEEDING BENEFITS THE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH OF BABIES AND MOTHERS. HOWEVER, CURRENT BREASTFEEDING RATES IN THE COMMUNITY ST. CHRISTOPHER'S HOSPITAL FOR CHILDREN SERVE ARE FAR FROM OPTIMAL, PARTICULARLY AMONG WOMEN FROM LOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS. DONATED PUMPS ARE DISTRIBUTED IN THE NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT TO ENCOURAGE BREASTFEEDING, AND LACTATION TRAINING PROGRAMS ARE HELD AT THE CENTER FOR THE URBAN CHILD AND ST. CHRIS CARE AT NORTHEAST PEDIATRICS SITES. ST. CHRISTOPHER'S HOSPITAL FOR CHILDREN'S COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKER (CHW) TEAM OF 7 MEMBERS PROVIDES NAVIGATION SERVICES AND SERVES AS HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES LIAISONS FOR ELIGIBLE PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES IN THE FOLLOWING SITES: CENTER FOR THE URBAN CHILD, CENTER FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH WITH SPECIAL HEALTHCARE NEEDS, ADOLESCENT MEDICINE AND ST. CHRISTOPHER'S PEDIATRIC ASSOCIATES AT NORTHEAST PEDIATRICS. THE CHW TEAM ALSO PROVIDES CARE COORDINATION SUPPORT TO CLINICAL TEAMS AT THESE FIVE SITES. IN FY24, THERE WERE 4,023 CHW OUTREACH ATTEMPTS AND 1,610 SUCCESSFUL CHW OUTREACH ATTEMPTS. TO ADDRESS TRANSPORTATION BARRIERS, ST. CHRISTOPHER'S HOSPITAL FOR CHILDREN OFFERS A NUMBER OF NO-COST OPTIONS TO PATIENTS NEEDING ASSISTANCE GETTING TO AND FROM APPOINTMENTS, INCLUDING BUS PASSES AND CAB VOUCHERS AT NO COST. THE HOSPITAL'S RIDE HEALTH PROGRAM, WHICH ALLOWS CLINICIANS TO SCHEDULE RIDES FOR PATIENTS THROUGH AN INTEGRATED TRANSPORTATION NETWORK, INCREASING ACCESS TO CARE, SHOWED CONSIDERABLE GROWTH. IN FY24, 7,177 RIDES WERE COMPLETED THROUGH THE RIDE HEALTH PROGRAM, TOTALING APPROXIMATELY 142,589 IN SERVICES COVERED BY THE HOSPITAL. TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES TO FIND SOCIAL SERVICES IN THEIR COMMUNITIES, ST. CHRISTOPHER'S HOSPITAL FOR CHILDREN LAUNCHED A FINDHELP PLATFORM TO INCREASE AWARENESS AND ACCESS TO SOCIAL SERVICES THROUGH PROVIDER REFERRALS AND SELF-REFERRALS. FUNDING FOR THE FINDHELP PLATFORM WAS OBTAINED THROUGH A GRANT. IN FY24, THERE WERE 589 SEARCHES THROUGH FINDHELP, RESULTING IN 215 SELF-REFERRALS, AND 2,913 PROVIDER REFERRALS THROUGH FINDHELP. SCHOOL IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF EVERY CHILD'S LIFE AND ESSENTIAL TO HELP CHILDREN DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN ACADEMIC SKILLS WHILE HOSPITALIZED. PARTICIPATING IN THE NORMAL ACTIVITIES OF SCHOOL HELPS CHILDREN COPE BY REDUCING THE STRESS OF HOSPITALIZATION. ST. CHRISTOPHER'S HOSPITAL FOR CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL SCHOOL PROGRAM HAS ONE DEDICATED PENNSYLVANIA-CERTIFIED TEACHER WHO SPENT 1,760 HOURS TEACHING 322 PATIENTS WITH IMPATIENT STAYS GREATER THAN 10 DAYS DURING FY24 POVERTY LEAVES A LASTING IMPACT ON THE DENTAL HEALTH OF VULNERABLE POPULATIONS, SPECIFICALLY CHILDREN. THE MOST COMMON CHRONIC DISEASE AMONG CHILDREN IS TOOTH DECAY. CHILDREN IN LOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS ARE LESS LIKELY TO RECEIVE REGULAR DENTAL CARE, AND ANY CAVITIES ARE MORE LIKELY TO GO UNFILLED. ORAL INFECTION, ESPECIALLY PERIODONTITIS (GUM DISEASE), MAY AFFECT THE COURSE AND PROGRESSION OF A NUMBER OF DISEASES, SUCH AS CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE, BACTERIAL PNEUMONIA, DIABETES MELLITUS, AND LOW BIRTH WEIGHT. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ST. CHRISTOPHER'S FOUNDATION FOR CHILDREN, ST. CHRISTOPHER'S HOSPITAL FOR CHILDREN OPERATES THE RONALD MCDONALD CHARITIES DENTAL VAN, A FULL-SERVICE MOBILE DENTAL MEDICINE VAN THAT PROVIDES FREE SERVICES TO CHILDREN OF PRE-K THROUGH 8TH GRADE AT SCHOOLS AND RECREATION CENTERS. BEHAVIORAL HEALTH: ACCESS TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR CHILDREN IS A CRISIS NATIONWIDE. BEFORE COVID-19, THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION STATED THAT ONE IN FIVE CHILDREN HAD A MENTAL HEALTH DIAGNOSIS, YET ONLY 20% OF THOSE CHILDREN RECEIVED CARE FROM A MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDER. SIMILARLY, ST. CHRISTOPHER'S HOSPITAL FOR CHILDREN COMMUNITY UTILIZES THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES, YET FAMILIES STILL EXPERIENCE DISPARITIES IN OUTCOMES, CARE, AND ACCESS TO SERVICES. THE ROOTS OF MANY MENTAL HEALTH, SUBSTANCE USE, AND BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO MORBIDITY AND PREMATURE DEATH DEVELOP DURING EARLY CHILDHOOD AND ADOLESCENT YEARS. IN NOVEMBER 2021, THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION, THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS, AND THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF CHILD AND ADOLESCENT PSYCHIATRY DECLARED A NATIONAL MENTAL HEALTH EMERGENCY FOR CHILDREN AND TEENS. TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO SUPPORT FOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES, ST. CHRISTOPHER HAS UNDERTAKEN INITIATIVES INCLUDING: A)PROVIDING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH EDUCATION INITIATIVES B)INTEGRATING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH INTO PRIMARY AND SPECIALTY CARE PRACTICES C)PERFORMING NEURODEVELOPMENTAL SCREENINGS D)LEADING PATIENT-FAMILY SUPPORT GROUPS E)OFFERING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH TELEMEDICINE PROVIDER BEHAVIORAL HEALTH EDUCATION INITIATIVES AT ST.
