CLINICAL SERVICES: A U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) designated Federally Qualified Health Center Look-Alike (FQHC Look-Alike), The Wright Center For Community Health (TWCCH) submitted its required annual Uniform Data System reports providing the impact metrics of TWCCH's Patient-Centered Medical Home provision of fully-integrated and comprehensive whole-person non-discriminatory primary health services, regardless of ZIP code, insurance status, or ability to pay. During the covered period, TWCCH served 36,734 unique patients and engaged in 132,909 total billable visits between July 2023 and June 2024, which included 85,294 medical visits, 14,443 behavioral health visits, 13,696 dental visits, and 19,476 inpatient hospital visits. These numbers include house calls and also visits in Skilled Nursing, Assisted Living, Inpatient and Transitional Rehabilitation, and Hospice facilities. TWCCH operates NCQA-recognized Patient-Centered Medical Homes (PCMH) (formerly NCQA Level 3) with NCQA Primary Care/Behavioral Health recognition and NCQA historical School-Based Health Center recognition as well. TWCCH has executed Memoranda of Understanding and Shared Care Compacts with numerous primary and specialty medical, dental, mental, behavioral, and substance use disorder health service providers, hospitals, integrated delivery systems, nursing homes, home health and community-based resource agencies that comprise an extensive, enriched, non-discriminatory resource network. TWCCH is a designated Pennsylvania Opioid Use Disorder Center of Excellence (COE), a Pennsylvania Coordinating Center for Medication Assisted Treatment (PACMAT), and the convening, primary organization of a multi-institution Healthy Maternal Opiate Medical Supports (MOMS) Program. TWCCH offers robust primary medical, geriatric, rheumatological, mental, behavioral, dental, infectious disease, and Ryan White health services within the PCMH framework, coordinating a full spectrum of comprehensive, whole-person health services for our patients. TWCCH is deeply invested in community-based living and aging in place, and offers the empowering services of community health workers, medical assistants, certified recovery specialists, enrollment service providers, spiritual aides, case workers, and nurse care managers to optimize resources in improving the health and welfare of the patients and families it serves. TWCCH cares for the entire age spectrum of patients in thirteen FQHC Look-Alike Teaching Health Centers staffed with mission-driven interprofessional care teams that also provide house calls and hospitalist, skilled nursing facility, hospice, and inpatient acute rehabilitation services for our patients in partnering community-based institutions. TWCCH's collaborative care teams integrate Family Medicine, Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, Rheumatology, Infectious Disease, Addiction Medicine, Obesity Medicine, Nutrition, and Geriatrics board certified physicians, complemented by primary care trained Physician Assistants and Nurse Practitioners trained in primary care, geriatrics, mental and behavioral health, and addiction treatment and recovery services. Progressive careers of RNs and LPNs, Medical Assistants, Community Health Workers, Enrollment Specialists, Certified Recovery Specialists, Mental Health Peer Specialists, Case Workers, Medical and Licensed Clinical Social Workers, Licensed Professional Counselors, Dentists, Dental Hygienists, Dental Assistants, Expanded Function Dental Assistants, Pharmacists, Nutritionists, and Electronic Health Record Specialists have enriched our interprofessional PCMH team-based care delivery model and the services that we provide to patients and families. Enriched primary care services with specialty integration activities allow TWCCH to expand non-discriminatory access for patients and interprofessional learners to partnering specialty providers. Central to TWCCH's mission is a deep commitment to community immersion, recognizing that genuine impact stems from strategies designed in close proximity to the needs of those we serve. This central characteristic of our GME-SNC model is exemplified by our strategic co-location of clinical practices within vital community hubs. For instance, our co-location with two legacy public mental health service agencies allows us to address the complex needs of patients grappling with serious mental illness, adverse experiences, and multifaceted co-morbidities and non-medical challenges. Similarly, TWCCH has a clinical presence within a public school setting in our service area that underscores the critical role of school-based health services. By offering accessible medical, mental, dental, and well-being resources to students, families, school employees, and the wider community, we remove barriers to fundamental primary health services, while fostering a nurturing environment conducive to learning and well-being. This integrated approach ensures that healthcare is not just delivered, but embedded within the very fabric of the communities served, enabling us to proactively address health care services and health care career access needs and challenges. Pipeline recruitment from the communities served promotes concordance from the workforce with the populations served, empowering recruitment from, retention in, and restoration of the communities.

340B DRUG PRICING PROGRAM: To further enhance our high integrity reinvestment of 340B resources into service delivery for patients and families, TWCCH began its re-assessment of the intentional allocation of 340B revenues. As a long-standing participant in the US Department of Health and Human Services 340B Drug Pricing Program as a Ryan White Program HRSA grantee and Title X service provider, The Wright Center For Community Health (TWCCH) has consistently prioritized affordable access to medication. However, with its designation as a FQHC Look-Alike effective June 1, 2019, TWCCH expanded its 340B participation across primary care, enhancing and enriching the non-discriminatory whole-person primary health services we provide. This critically important federal program enables eligible healthcare providers to purchase outpatient prescription drugs at reduced prices from pharmaceutical manufacturers. This discount is then passed on to qualifying patients through partnerships with participating pharmacies, thereby increasing access to essential medications for vulnerable populations. Patient eligibility for 340B discounts is determined based on income and demonstrated hardship, ensuring that those with the greatest need receive crucial support. Critical 340B Program revenues generated through Ryan White and FQHC Look-Alike services are strategically reinvested in each respective program to enhance and enrich the non-discriminatory, comprehensive, whole-person primary health services TWCCH provides to improve health outcomes, expand access to essential community provider health services, reduce emergency department utilization, and reduce the overall costs of TWCCH's health care system. Furthermore, 340B revenues fuel impactful community outreach initiatives strategically designed to address the non-medical factors that influence health outcomes and promote whole-person wellness. These initiatives include health fairs, free screenings (e.g., blood glucose, blood pressure, Body Mass Index (BMI), and cholesterol), pop-up food and clothing pantries, and targeted public health education campaigns. TWCCH focuses on empowering vulnerable populations with chronic conditions such as substance use disorder, HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C, obesity, diabetes, and ischemic heart disease to adopt healthier nutritional habits and lifestyles. Specifically, Ryan White-related 340B funding provides comprehensive support to individuals living with HIV/AIDS, encompassing medical, laboratory, and telehealth services, medical case management, home-delivered meals, insurance premium assistance, emergency financial aid, mental health, transportation services, and expanded dental care.

This grant is designed to help our frontline workforce, including providers and staff, overcome challenges caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Schedule C, Part IV POLITICAL CAMPAIGN AND LOBBYING ACTIVITIES TWCCH engaged Cozen O'Connor Public Strategies (Cozen) and ERG Partners to assist with lobbying activities to advocate for mission-aligned federal and state public health improvement policies and programs, including legislation supporting the funding of Federally Qualified Health Centers, Look-Alikes, the 340B Drug Pricing Program, and the National Health Service Corps (NHSC) Loan Repayment Program (collectively, "public health programs''), and other federal and state public health programs. TWCCH paid Cozen O'Connor $45,000 and ERG Partners $18,000 for these services, amounts that are included in the total reflected on TWCCH's Form 990. In addition to Cozen and ERG Partners, three main paid staff members had direct virtual contact with state and federal legislators and/or their staff members, and drafted letters and comments for submission to legislators and administrators to advocate for appropriations for mission-aligned primary care and public health workforce development programs and, in some instances, to lobby for specific mission-aligned primary care and public-health services and workforce development-oriented legislation. Moreover, during the 2023-2024 fiscal year, there was a small group of other paid staff, including but not limited to TWCCH's President & CEO, who participated in advocacy and lobbying activities to promote specific mission-aligned public health improvement and workforce development legislation on several occasions. In all, TWCCH directly spent $67,948 on reportable lobbying activities. TWCCH also paid $1,250 to the Pennsylvania Association of Community Health Centers (PACHC) specifically to support PACHC's outside lobbying and advocacy efforts through the Bravo Group to promote primary care and public health initiatives and legislation. TWCGME also engaged the firm of Cozen O'Connor Public Strategies (Cozen) and ERG Partners to assist with lobbying activities to advocate for mission-aligned public health improvement and workforce development policies and programs, including legislation supporting the Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education program, and other federal and state public health and healthcare workforce development programs. TWCGME paid Cozen O'Connor $45,000 and ERG Partners $18,000 for these services, amounts that are included in the total reflected on TWCGME's Form 990. In addition to Cozen and ERG Partners, three main paid staff members had direct virtual contact with state and federal legislators and/or their staff members, and drafted letters and comments for submission to legislators and administrators to advocate for appropriations for mission-aligned primary care and public health workforce development programs and, in some instances, to lobby for specific mission-aligned primary care and public-health services and workforce development-oriented legislation. Moreover, during the 2023-2024 fiscal year, there was a small group of other paid staff, including but not limited to TWCGME's President & CEO and a chief resident and resident leader of advocacy, who participated in advocacy and lobbying activities to promote specific mission-aligned public health improvement and workforce development legislation on several occasions. In all, TWCGME directly spent $66,134 on reportable lobbying activities. Additionally, TWCGME is a corporate member of the American Association of Teaching Health Centers (AATHC), a 501(c)(6) tax exempt entity. During the reporting period, $33,000 of dues paid to AATHC was dedicated to reportable lobbying activities, including the engagement of ArentFox Schiff.

The source of the funding provided by TWCCH to TWCPCE was a shared savings payment TWCCH received as a participating provider in a Medicare Shared Savings Program Accountable Care Organization (ACO). This payment recognized TWCCH's contribution to achieving cost savings and meeting quality performance standards for Medicare beneficiaries within the ACO.
Schedule I, Part III, Column (a) Type of grant or assistance The Wright Center for Community Health (TWCCH) provided assistance to 338 individuals as subrecipients of a grant received from the United Way of Wyoming Valley, with funding under the Ryan White Comprehensive Aids Resources Emergency Act.
Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds. The organization has a Grants department that monitors the use of grant funds through comprehensive grants submissions, post-award management and outcomes reporting, and compliance processes. Appropriate monitoring of grant-related activities is in place to meticulously track and report to grantors as required by the terms of each respective grant. The Grants department also employs a rigorous vetting matrix to evaluate community benefit impact potential grant opportunities, ensuring mission alignment, feasibility, logistical suitability, achievability, and long-term sustainability. Utilizing strategic logic models, stage-gate analysis, and comprehensive project planning and management, we map essential collaborative partnerships, operational workflows and financial projections to optimize standardized integration and long-term sustainability of grant-related activities. This approach guarantees feasibility, readiness, and the realization of our commitment to the responsible and ethical stewardship of public and private grant resources. In April 2021, the Grants department established a dedicated Project Management Office to streamline sponsored project implementation, monitoring, and compliance. Leveraging project management software, the office provides comprehensive tracking, dashboard visualizations of grant processes and outcome metrics, and centralized expense management. TWCGME consistently adheres to all federal, state, county, and private philanthropic reporting requirements across its grant portfolio.

Supplemental Information
Provide the information, explanation, or descriptions required for Part I, lines 1a, 1b, 3, 4a, 4b, 4c, 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, 7, and 8, and for Part II. Also complete this part for any additional information.
Return Reference Explanation
Schedule J, Part I, Line 3 Arrangement used to establish the top management official's compensation TWCCH contracts .25 FTE of its President and CEO to TWCGME to perform the role as President and CEO of TWCGME. The Executive Committee of the TWCCH Board leads the process for determining the compensation of The Wright Center For Community Health's (TWCCH) President & CEO, engaging a third-party external consultant to conduct a formal, periodic objective, comprehensive, organization-wide compensation study generally every three to five years. During contract negotiations with the President and CEO, the relevant components of the study are appropriately aged and supplemented by data from sources such as the American Job Center Network, Medical Group Management Association (MGMA), Form 990s of comparable organizations, and compensation surveys from the Pennsylvania and National Associations of Community Health Centers, among other relevant regional and national benchmarks. Annually, the Executive Committees collaboratively conduct a thorough performance evaluation of the chief executive officer's performance for each organization, assessing the appropriateness of salary and benefit adjustments. These adjustments, if made between contract terms, are benchmarked against publicly available comparable data. Ultimately, the chief executive officer's compensation is determined based on a robust performance evaluation, organizational performance, and careful consideration of the independent compensation study, market comparability, and financial feasibility. The Executive Committees' deliberations and decisions regarding executive compensation are meticulously documented in meeting minutes within 60 days of the evaluation's completion and the compensation determination.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 7 Non-fixed payments Subject to Board approval and financial feasibility, all employees may be eligible for an annual, performance-based incentive bonus, contingent upon successful performance evaluations. Eligibility requires adherence to specific criteria, including active participation in TWCCH's Plan/Do/Study/Act (PDSA) quality improvement program, the SAFE event reporting system, and meaningful community volunteer service obligations. Upon Board approval and determination of affordability, merit-based bonus payments are calculated based on individual job performance scores from the evaluation process. Employees on probationary status or those who have resigned are ineligible. The eligibility of employees on a performance improvement plan is determined at the discretion of their direct supervisor. For the 2023-2024 incentive plan, performance bonuses ranged from 0% to 7% of base salary. While the total bonus pool was budgeted and Board-approved at 5% of payroll, actual bonus payouts remained below the budgeted amount.

Return Reference Explanation
Form 990, Part I, Line 1 BRIEF MISSION The Wright Center Medical Group d/b/a The Wright Center for Community Health (TWCCH) and its primary affiliated entity, The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education (TWCGME), share a mission to improve the health and welfare of our communities through responsive whole-person health services for all and the sustainable renewal of an inspired and competent workforce that is privileged to serve. TWCCH delivers comprehensive, non-discriminatory, whole-person primary health services in a Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) care delivery framework for patients and families, regardless of their ability to pay or zip code, while educating the current and future physician and interprofessional health care workforce. Our comprehensive, integrated primary health services across the lifespan, from pediatrics to geriatrics, include medical, women's health, general dental, mental and behavioral, substance use disorder treatment and recovery, care and case management, obesity, infectious disease, Ryan White primary and secondary prevention and treatment of HIV, as well as rheumatological, nutritional, and lifestyle medicine services. Enriched primary care services with specialty integration activities allow TWCCH to expand non-discriminatory access for patients and interprofessional learners to partnering specialty providers. As an Essential Community Provider, TWCCH and its primary affiliate, TWCGME, collaboratively share a passionate purpose to demonstrate an "Achievable by All" Graduate Medical Education Safety-Net Consortium (GME-SNC) Teaching Health Center model that co-creates transformational health care teams of leaders who empower people, families, and communities to own and optimize their health, health care delivery system, and their interprofessional health care workforce development. Our niche is World-Class, innovative, responsive, whole-person primary health services for all through community-centric, incumbent and future workforce renewal. Inspired by the empowering community and patient governance and focus of the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration's (HRSA) Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC and FQHC Look-Alike) framework, as well as its Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education (THCGME) program, our GME-SNC model embracing community health centers as integrated academic primary care workforce development platforms is a potential solution for individual community health center workforce recruitment and retention, and a means of addressing our national primary care workforce shortage, mis-distribution, and related health, health care services, and health care career access needs and challenges. Promoting a culture of unifying participatory citizenship and shared learning for board, clinical care teams, staff, patients, and community-based interprofessional health care learners, while stimulating and leveraging each stakeholder group's meaningful contributions to continuous improvements in internal and partnering care delivery and workforce development systems, the GME-SNC's collective impact delivers and enriches talent development, recruitment, and retention for health centers, affiliated organizations, and larger communities served.
Form 990, Part III, Line 1 ORGANIZATION MISSION The Wright Center for Community Health (TWCCH) and its primary affiliated entity, The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education (TWCGME), share a mission to improve the health and welfare of our communities through responsive whole-person health services for all and the sustainable renewal of an inspired and competent workforce that is privileged to serve. The Wright Center For Community Health (TWCCH) was originally incorporated in 1994 as The Wright Center Medical Group, PC, a tax-exempt professional corporation (PC), to be the ambulatory primary care practice plan affiliated with The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education (TWCGME). Founded with a $1 million U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Bureau of Manpower grant in 1976, TWCGME is a non-profit ACGME-accredited Sponsoring Institution and the founding educational member of a Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education Safety-Net Consortium (THC GME-SNC). TWCGME integrates federal GME funding from the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Teaching Health Center (THC) Program, the Veterans Administration (VA), and acute inpatient prospective payment system (IPPS) hospitals and inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs) funded by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
Form 990, Part III, Line 1 ORGANIZATION MISSION In 2018, The Wright Center Medical Group, PC, underwent a strategic governance transformation, first converting to a Pennsylvania non-profit corporation and subsequently evolving into an autonomous, community and patient governed independent 501(c)(3) entity. This pivotal shift positioned the organization to pursue and successfully achieve Federally Qualified Health Center Look-Alike (FQHC Look-Alike) designation from HRSA, effective June 1, 2019. This remarkable governance transition was driven by the mission-focused, unanimous decision of physician and non-physician primary care provider stakeholders, then serving as board members, to validate community ownership through relinquishment of their governance roles. They selflessly transferred fiduciary authority to community members, predominantly patients and consumers of the entity's primary health services, thereby ensuring that the organization's leadership directly reflects the needs and priorities of those it serves. Engaged patients and community members authentically assumed the governing board seats, welcoming their empowered official voices in the fiduciary stewardship and directional oversight of the organization. The community benefit impact of this unifying, community-driven action that continues to validate HRSA's vision for patient-led governance of community health centers cannot be overstated. This intentional and community empowering governance transformation allowed the entity to apply for and successfully earn the designation as a HRSA-recognized autonomous, independent, community and patient governed FQHC Look-Alike Essential Community Provider of primary health and continued Ryan White services. Proudly and gratefully, at the close of fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, 88% of the governing board members of TWCCH were engaged "Users" of its primary health services as defined in HRSA's Health Center Program Compliance Manual. Throughout fiscal year 2023-2024 and continuing today, TWCCH offers clinical health services 83 hours per week at its Mid Valley Practice in Jermyn, extended and Saturday hours in Wilkes-Barre and Scranton, and 24/7 on-call access for all TWCCH clinical service lines at all locations, including both ambulatory and hospital venues. During the covered period, TWCCH served 36,734 unique patients and engaged in 132,909 total billable visits between July 2023 and June 2024, which included 85,294 medical visits, 14,443 behavioral health visits, 13,696 dental visits, and 19,476 inpatient hospital visits. These numbers include house calls and also visits in Skilled Nursing, Assisted Living, Inpatient and Transitional Rehabilitation, and Hospice facilities. TWCCH operates NCQA-recognized Patient-Centered Medical Homes (PCMH)(formerly NCQA Level 3) with NCQA Primary Care/Behavioral Health recognition and NCQA historical School-Based Health Center recognition as well. TWCCH has executed Memoranda of Understanding and Shared Care Compacts with numerous primary and specialty medical, dental, and mental health providers, hospitals, integrated delivery systems, and community-based resource agencies that comprise an extensive, enriched, non-discriminatory resource network. TWCCH is a designated Pennsylvania Opioid Use Disorder Center of Excellence (COE), a Pennsylvania Coordinating Center for Medication Assisted Treatment (PACMAT), and the convening, primary organization of a multi-institution Healthy Maternal Opiate Medical Supports (MOMS) Program. TWCCH offers robust primary physical, mental, behavioral, dental, and Ryan White health services within the PCMH framework, coordinating a full spectrum of whole-person health services for our patients. TWCCH is a passionate champion for Electronic Medical Record (EMR)/Electronic Health Record (EHR) Meaningful Use and Health Information Technology Interoperability. TWCCH avidly promotes wide-spread adoption of health information exchanges and connectivity, vocally advocating for HIPAA-compliant health information interoperability to enable informed whole-person health services. TWCCH's FQHC Look-Alike governance platform is amplified in its community and patient driven governance of The Wright Center for Patient and Community Engagement (TWCPCE), of which TWCCH is the sole corporate member. The mission of TWCPCE, a Pennsylvania tax-exempt non-profit corporation, is to empower and engage patients in promoting the health and welfare of our communities while advancing the outcomes and experience of health care and related services and workforce development. It aims to improve community health through education, advocacy, patient-centered services, and targeted initiatives that address patient and community resource needs that negatively impact health outcomes. TWCCH's Teaching Health Centers are the primary ambulatory, longitudinal clinical learning environments for TWCGME's Internal Medicine and Family Medicine residents as well as its Geriatric fellows. Additionally, TWCCH proudly supports the clinical training of Advanced Education General Dentistry (AEGD) residents in collaboration with NYU Langone's AEGD Residency accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA). During fiscal year 2023-2024, TWCCH trained 187 interprofessional health students in partnership with more than a dozen academic institutions, including Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM), and the A.T. Still University's School of Osteopathic Medicine in Arizona and Central Coast Physician Assistant Training Program in California. We are an active participating provider in the Keystone Accountable Care Organization, a member of the Pennsylvania and National Associations of Community Health Centers, and a collaborating partner of the Northeast Pennsylvania Area for Health Education Center (AHEC), The Institute for Public Policy and Economic Development, and the Penn State Project Echo (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes), a knowledge-sharing network led by expert specialist teams mentoring participating community providers.
Form 990, Part III, Line 2 NEW PROGRAM SERVICES TWCCH continued to deliver non-discriminatory, comprehensive, whole-person primary health services in its sustainable FQHC Look-Alike integrated school-based health center in the Scranton School District. From this platform, TWCCH continued to deepen our intentional partnerships with public school districts in our service area, exploring the feasibility of sustainable school-based health centers for the benefit of students, families, school employees, and the larger community. Responsive to the outreaches from two public school districts, TWCCH's mobile medical and dental unit, "Driving Better Health," was deployed to deliver essential medical, dental, and preventative services to students. On TWCCH's subsequent Form 990, more information will be included about the emerging partnerships related to both engagements that have occurred during the next covered period. During the reporting period, TWCCH continued to demonstrate its commitment to being an "Age Friendly Health System, a strong partner in larger collective impact initiatives to build "Age Friendly Communities." The importance of developing and employing qualified, compassionate geriatricians and primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, licensed social workers and counselors, and allied health professionals with geriatric competencies has never been so urgent: based on 2023 data, Pennsylvania notably ranks 9th out of the 50 states for percentage of the state population 65 and older. Continued development of the entire workforce's geriatric competencies supports TWCCH's age-friendly health system initiative. TWCCH, the 8th health care system in the country to adopt UCLA's John A. Hartford Foundation funded, award-winning Alzheimer's and Dementia Care (ADC) program model, continued to offer ADC services for its regional community, while also implementing principles of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement's "Age Friendly Health System" in all of its primary health services sites for seniors. These initiatives enrich the geriatric-sensitive preparation of the current and future health workforce training at The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education (TWCGME), TWCCH's affiliated educational partner. During the reporting period, TWCGME, in partnership with TWCCH, also successfully received approval from the Association of Directors of Geriatrics Academic Programs (ADGAP) and the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) for an Advancing Innovation in Residency Education (AIRE) Medicine-Geriatrics Integrated Residency and Fellowship (Med-Geri pathway). This competency-based combined training model allows for the early exposure to geriatrics principles of care over the four-year educational continuum, as well as enhanced professional development opportunities during the final fellowship year. TWCCH also continued its support of Telespond Senior Services as it prepared to open its Adult Advocacy Center (AAC) to serve victims of elder abuse. Over the past five years, Pennsylvania has seen a 67% increase in elder abuse reports to the Department of Aging. The AAC is designed to provide seniors individual-based care, and is slated to offer four beds for seniors in need of immediate relocation. TWCCH's collaboration with Telespond Senior Services also continued in the provision of primary health services and the Alzheimer's and Dementia Care Unit for seniors in the region. TWCCH collaborated with and supported Lackawanna County and its Area Agency on Aging on the important journey to be designated as an Age Friendly County. In early 2025, post-reporting period, TWCCH hosted its inaugural successful Symposium on Aging in Scranton. The program focused on bringing stakeholders together to build a Dementia-Friendly Lackawanna County. Experts and local representatives joined the conversation on supporting dementia patients, caregivers, and families, preventing isolation, avoiding financial scams and strengthening resources for aging services professionals. During the reporting period, TWCCH intentionally engaged in the strategic sustainability of the Community Health Worker (CHW) services line by seizing opportunities for certification through a collaboration with the Northeast Pennsylvania Area Health Education Center (NEPA AHEC). This engagement enabled CHWs to participate in enrollment services as well as chronic care management, community health integration, home health, and principal illness navigation services and billing. The work of the CHW teams is critical to ensuring the sustainability of non-medical services that significantly contribute to improving health outcomes. In support of advancing integration of the CHW workforce, TWCCH participated in the Northeast Pennsylvania Readiness In Skilled Employment (NEPA RISE) program to promote workforce development initiatives that align with TWCCH's passionate purpose and the creation of career opportunities with economic mobility. RISE is a workforce development program that focuses on an individual's strengths, creating an opportunity to obtain technical training while accessing additional support for success. RISE helps individuals to lift themselves out of poverty by gaining marketable skills that qualify them for skilled employment in jobs with economic mobility. RISE participants receive career coaching, education for developing soft-skills, and a range of additional support to ensure academic success and job placement. Support includes transportation, childcare, housing, technology and language support resources. TWCCH proudly employs CHWs who participated in the RISE program, which also continued to support the advancement of their careers into higher level and higher paying positions.
Form 990, Part III, Line 2 NEW PROGRAM SERVICES TWCCH was invited and participated in the Anchors in Equity program, the Anchor Economy Initiative at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia (FRB) that explores how anchor institutions sustain jobs, drive economic growth, and support regional development in 524 regions across the country. Anchor institutions are large, public-serving organizations such as hospitals and universities that provide jobs and services while supporting local economic activity. The Economic Growth and Mobility Project brings together researchers and community partners to find innovative, actionable, and community-driven solutions to local or regional economic challenges through Research in Action Labs that help advance solutions to specific challenges to reduce economic barriers in communities. Together, the Anchor Economy Initiative and the Economic Growth and Mobility Project launched the Anchors for Equity Research in Action Lab. TWCCH's partner, The Institute for Economic Development and Public Policy, Northeast Pennsylvania, was selected for the Anchors for Equity Research in Action Lab due to its strong position to leverage the initiative: The Institute is located in a region with 14 higher education institutions and five major healthcare systems, including TWCGME and TWCCH. Furthermore, education and health care are the largest employment sectors in Northeast Pennsylvania. TWCCH, as a premier provider of substance use disorder treatment and recovery services in Northeast Pennsylvania, intentionally engaged in another fruitful partnership with the Northeast Pennsylvania Area Health Education Center (NEPA AHEC), Luzerne County Community College, The Institute, and the Wayne Pike Workforce Alliance on Project PROGRESS, a workforce initiative to create jobs with economic mobility to increase the active employment of people in recovery. Project PROGRESS, funded in part through an Appalachian Regional Commission INSPIRE grant, was a three-year effort led by TWCCH in collaboration with partners across a multi-county area in northeastern Pennsylvania heavily impacted by the ongoing opioid crisis. The acronym PROGRESS stands for Providing Recovery Opportunities for Growth, Education, and Sustainable Success. Over the life of the program, the project facilitated a total of 6 Certified Recovery Specialist training sessions which resulted in 122 individuals in recovery having access to the training, 101 of whom completed the screening process and enrolled in a class. There have been 76 participants to date who have completed the training, and 44 of those participants have received their certifications as either Certified Recovery Specialists (CRS), Certified Family Recovery Specialists (CFRS) or Certified Recovery Specialist Supervisors (CRSS), or a combination of these certifications. Two individuals received their CRS and CFRS certificates. Project PROGRESS served as an important call to our communities to recognize addiction as a chronic illness and to work across sectors to create a recovery ecosystem in which people moving from treatment to life in recovery are trained and supported to become contributing members of society. Assistance and guidance were also provided by the AllOne Foundation, the Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce, the Northeastern Pennsylvania Alliance, the Wayne County Commissioners, and the Wayne Economic Development Corporation. During the covered period, TWCCH also took affirmative steps to improve the insurance enrollment process for patients, particularly in the wake of the avalanche of publicized commercialization of Medicare Advantage plans and the Medicaid unwinding. TWCCH recognized that patients and families deserve a much more intentional and disciplined strategy and educational approach to enrollment to enhance informed decision-making. TWCCH continues to explore and strategize the most appropriate consumer-centric neutral platforms to best educate and serve patients and families in the process of enrollment assistance. We will report additional progress in our subsequent Form 990. TWCCH appropriately engaged a new translation service during the covered period that offers translation in more than 350 languages to patients and providers. This service was utilized in 6,532 patient encounters and communications between January and August of 2024 alone, translating 31 different languages to enable more effective delivery of health services to the patients and families TWCCH serves. The US Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) annually reviews the performance data of health centers across the United States as reported through its Uniform Data System (UDS), and highlights the organizations that meet or exceed its goals in categories of special focus. It bestows the top performers with its Community Health Quality Recognition (CHQR) badges. For fiscal year 2023-2024, TWCCH was recognized by HRSA for its quality work in three performance categories, including for Advancing HIT (Health Information Technology) for Quality to better serve patients and families. These awards built on TWCCH's notable prior achievements. HRSA first awarded CHQR badges in 2021, using data from the prior year's reporting period. Since that time, TWCCH is proud to have earned 10 CHQR badges. TWCCH also received the Times Leader's platinum level recognition for Best Places to Work; gold status as a National Association of Community Health Center's Advocacy Center of Excellence; platinum recognition for HRSA's DOnation Campaign, which unites America's workforce for organ, eye, and tissue donation; the American Heart Association's Silver recognition for blood pressure control outcomes; the Pennsylvania Quality Insights' Certificate of Excellence for Improving Cardiovascular Health as a Cardiovascular Health Hall of Fame Champion; and NCQA recognition for data aggregation as a member of the Keystone Health Information Exchange.
Form 990, Part III, Line 2 NEW PROGRAM SERVICES During the reporting period, TWCCH continued to strategically clarify its collective impact vision for a multi-institutional Clinical and Educational Integrated Network (CEIN). The impending transfer of ownership of a number of local hospital and outpatient health care assets in Northeastern Pennsylvania is increasing the significance of the CEIN initiative. Collaborative partnerships, with the advance approval of the PA Department of Human Services, enabled TWCCH and TWCGME to launch enriched primary care services with specialty integration that expanded non-discriminatory access for patients to gastroenterology and cardiovascular disease physician faculty, while also enriching the education of primary care residents and specialty fellows. TWCCH continued its passionate, deep investment in the transformational work to progress on our three year journey towards Sanctuary Model Certification. Several accomplishments this year demonstrated TWCCH's progress from a historically over-burdened and under-resourced, trauma-organized primary care provider to an adversity-competent enterprise focused on resilience-skilled employment, whole-person health services, and healthcare workforce development. The Sanctuary Model is a blueprint for clinical and organizational change and transformational culture shift which promotes physical, emotional, and psychological safety and recovery from adversity through the active creation of an adversity-informed and competent community. An adversity-competent, resilience-skilled organization is one that recognizes the inherent vulnerability of all human beings to the effects of adverse experiences and organizes system-wide interventions aimed at mitigating the negative effects of adversity and stress that are manifested in those employed in and served by the organization and the organization itself. "Sanctuary" can be offered as a guiding constructive framework for transformation from survival-mode oriented, often divisive care delivery and educational platforms to resilience-focused and competent systematized approaches for teaming that promote psychological safety, trust, participatory citizenship, democratization, social responsibility and accountability, and social learning. TWCCH began its deep investment and roll-out of Sanctuary training in earnest in August 2022. Since that time, TWCCH has implemented multiple cohorts of 5-day immersion training events to spread learning across the organization, including governing board members and executive management as well as employees and resident and fellow physicians in training. In January 2024, a 3-Day Train the Trainer requirement was completed. TWCCH and TWCGME Board members received short bursts of training in every regular board meeting. The Executive Management Team, as the Sanctuary Steering Committee, approved the required training for all staff to occur on a rotating schedule during work hours as a testament to the investment of the enterprise in the success of the model. Sanctuary language has been fully integrated into TWCCH's operational policies and procedures manuals. With costs of providing health insurance for employees continuing to climb beyond multiples of average inflation without boundaries, and the increasing concern about the role pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) play in the costs of commercial health insurance premiums, TWCCH and TWCGME began exploring the viability of self-insuring for health benefits and internalizing pharmacy services. TWCCH anticipates that these initiatives will bring additional benefits to patients, learners and staff, including ensuring timely and affordable medication access. The Wright Center Enterprise also explored the feasibility of engagement in or with insurance brokerage activities to ensure that patients, learners, and staff have the best information possible to make informed coverage decisions. These futuristic initiatives show promising potential to better steward the precious public resources we receive to implement the shared mission of TWCCH and TWCGME while also offering additional resources to all stakeholders. Having finally recouped TWCGME's decade-long investments in the Keystone Accountable Care Organization for the first time, TWCGME had the opportunity to explore how shared savings from participation in Medicare's Shared Savings Program would be best stewarded. Determined to invest those dollars back into the population served, TWCGME (KACO owner/partner) passed through the majority of shared savings to TWCCH (KACO participant), which uses those resources to enrich the health services delivered to patients as described below. To further enhance internal controls for financial management, TWCCH's Controller was advanced to the position of Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Bringing the skill set of an experienced controller to the CFO role has already demonstrated a value that cannot be overstated. Additionally, TWCCH's primary affiliate, TWCGME, hired a new VP of Academic Affairs/Associate Designated Institutional Official in December 2023 to support CEIN development and to lead an actionable strategy to align the various components of clinical and educational programming for Graduate Medical Education (GME), Undergraduate Medical Education (UME), Interprofessional Medical Education (IME), and Continuing Medical Education (CME). In addition, TWCCH appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to spearhead a centrally controlled compliance function, a Chief Clinical Operating Officer to bolster quality and standardization of care, and a Chief Revenue Officer to advance TWCCH's value-based care (VBC) initiatives and negotiate appropriate payer contracts for VBC.
Form 990, Part III, Line 2 NEW PROGRAM SERVICES To further enhance our high integrity reinvestment of 340B resources into service delivery for patients and families, TWCCH began its re-assessment of the intentional allocation of 340B revenues. As a long-standing participant in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services 340B Drug Pricing Program as a Ryan White Program HRSA grantee and Title X service provider, TWCCH has consistently prioritized affordable access to medication. However, with its designation as a FQHC Look-Alike effective June 1, 2019, TWCCH expanded its 340B participation across primary care, enhancing and enriching the comprehensive, non-discriminatory, whole-person primary health services we provide. This critically important federal program enables eligible healthcare providers to purchase outpatient prescription drugs at reduced prices from pharmaceutical manufacturers. The discount is then passed on to qualifying patients through partnerships with participating pharmacies, thereby increasing access to essential medications for vulnerable populations. Patient eligibility for 340B discounts is determined based on income and demonstrated hardship, ensuring that those with the greatest need receive crucial support. Critical 340B Program revenues generated through Ryan White and FQHC Look-Alike services are strategically reinvested in each respective program to enhance and enrich the non-discriminatory, comprehensive, whole-person primary health services TWCCH provides to improve health outcomes, expand access to essential community provider health services, reduce emergency department utilization, and reduce the overall costs of TWCCH's health care system. Furthermore, 340B revenues fuel impactful community outreach initiatives strategically designed to address the non-medical factors that influence health outcomes and promote whole-person wellness. These initiatives include health fairs, free screenings (e.g., blood glucose, blood pressure, Body Mass Index (BMI), and cholesterol), pop-up food and clothing pantries, and targeted public health education campaigns. TWCCH focuses on empowering vulnerable populations with chronic conditions such as substance use disorder, HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C, obesity, diabetes, and ischemic heart disease to adopt healthier nutritional habits and lifestyles. Specifically, Ryan White-related 340B funding provides comprehensive support to individuals living with HIV/AIDS, encompassing medical, laboratory, and telehealth services, medical case management, home-delivered meals, insurance premium assistance, emergency financial aid, mental health, transportation services, and expanded dental care. Current efforts to significantly reduce the 340B program would have a devastating negative impact on the health and welfare of the patients, families, and communities we serve, as we cannot affordably shift these costs into the limited revenues for the clinical services TWCCH provides. TWCCH initiated a CEO outreach to other FQHCs in Northeast Pennsylvania in an effort to optimize public resources through collaboration in areas such as healthcare workforce development and FQHC participation in learning networks and accountable care initiatives. The CEOs were invited to connect on a quarterly basis to prompt robust discussions of individual organization and regional health and health workforce needs, promoting a sense of shared responsibility, mutual support, and shared learning among colleagues to spread knowledge and best practices. To further advance the impactful synergy of federal resource opportunities during the covered period, TWCCH began exploration of various Health Center Controlled Networks (HCCNs) to ensure optimal alignment with TWCCH's mission, priorities, and capacity. In 2026, the United States will mark its 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The mission of America250 is to celebrate and commemorate this Semiquincentennial. In 2018, Pennsylvania's legislature and Governor established America250PA to plan, encourage, develop, and coordinate the commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, Pennsylvania's integral role in that event, and the impact of its people on the nation's past, present, and future. TWCCH enthusiastically supports America250PA, and has engaged in two of its initiatives during the reporting period. The goal of the Liberty Tree Project, co-sponsored by America250PA and the Pennsylvania Freemasons, is to have a certified Liberty Tree planted in each of Pennsylvania's 67 counties through 2026. According to American250PA, "during the American Revolutionary War, the Sons of Liberty often convened under the nation's original Liberty Tree in Boston to discuss their opposition to British rule in the colonies. This historic tree became a beacon of hope to colonists and a symbol of American freedom. In an attempt to stymie these colonists, the British destroyed Boston's Liberty Tree. Suddenly, patriots throughout the 13 colonies began to designate new Liberty Trees. The last known original Liberty Tree sat on the campus of Saint John's University in Maryland, until it was destroyed by Hurricane Floyd in 1999. Today, seeds from a scion of the original tree are being collected, grown into seedlings, and planted across the Commonwealth." TWCCH earned selection to receive a certified Liberty Tree, a living symbol of American independence, that was planted at VFW Park in Dickson City - the site of one of TWCCH's newest practice locations on land that has historical ties to the American Revolution. The historic tulip poplar sponsored by TWCCH will be the only Liberty Tree to take root in Lackawanna County as part of a statewide effort to honor the nation's founding. Its presence will reinforce TWCCH's noble mission commitment to improving the health and welfare of our communities. The second America250PA project celebrating the Semiquincentennial in which TWCCH engaged is its Bells Across PA art initiative. The fiberglass Liberty Bells will be infused with beauty and artfully decorated by local artists. Like the Liberty Tree Project, the goal is to place at least one bell in each of Pennsylvania's 67 counties. TWCCH has sponsored and designed five Liberty Bells in Pennsylvania counties in its service area.
Form 990, Part III, Line 2 NEW PROGRAM SERVICES As mentioned above, TWCCH proudly received its second Gold Advocacy Center of Excellence recognition from the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC). TWCCH was first awarded Gold ACE status in January 2022, the first community health center in Pennsylvania to achieve the recognition. Being awarded a second Gold ACE status in December 2023 shows TWCCH's continued dedication to advocating for and supporting comprehensive whole-person primary health services for all, regardless of ability to pay, zip code, or insurance status. TWCCH is committed to mission-driven advocacy efforts to ensure that elected officials at local, state, and federal levels genuinely understand and commit to investing in the comprehensive, affordable, and innovative primary health services and interprofessional workforce development that Teaching Community Health Centers such as TWCCH provide for people of all ages, income levels, and insurance statuses. Additionally, TWCCH's Public Health Policy and Advocacy Department continued its work throughout the year to educate elected officials and government administrators on the value of its community-immersed Graduate Medical Education Safety-Net Consortium (GME-SNC) as a powerful, fiscally responsible, and replicable solution to the America's primary care shortage and mis-distribution, and related health, healthcare services, and healthcare career needs and challenges. TWCCH also responded to multiple federal, state, and professional networks associations' Requests for Information, sharing lessons and insights from the trenches of the primary care delivery and health workforce training sites in order to share and learn best practice, and to inform policy development at the state and federal levels. Joining TWCCH's Mid Valley and Clarks Summit FQHC Look-Alike Teaching Health Centers, our Scranton and Wilkes-Barre Teaching Health Centers received NCQA's Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) certificates of recognition. This accomplishment acknowledges that each THC has the tools, systems, and resources to provide patients with the right care at the right time in the right venue. PCMH practices are designed to allow patients and their care teams to build better relationships; support patients to more effectively control chronic conditions; and improve the overall patient and provider experience. In addition, the PCMH model has been shown to reduce overall health care costs. The NCQA was founded in 1990 with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and seeks to improve healthcare quality through measurement, transparency, and accountability. TWCCH officially became a certified American Heart Association (AHA) Training Site in August 2023, enabling it to deliver important life saving training services to the interprofessional health care providers and students, as well as general community members in our service area. TWCCH, as an AHA Training Center, offers a robust, high quality training curriculum. For health professionals, including TWCCH and TWCGME staff and learners as well as other medical providers and students in the region, TWCCH provided certifications and recertifications in Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS), Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), and Pediatric Emergency Assessment, Recognition and Stabilization (PEARS). For the community at large, TWCCH offered Heartsaver Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) as well as NARCAN training. Heart Code Skills testing were available for all disciplines as well. To date, TWCCH awarded 2,743 certifications/re-certifications: 1,647 certifications/re-certifications in BLS, 352 in ACLS, 105 in PALS, and 639 in CPR. Moreover, TWCCH's Training Center also provided non-certification training to 848 individuals in the following areas: Hands Only CPR, use of NARCAN, Stop The Bleed, IV insertion, Advanced Airway, and Mock Codes, among others. All training conducted adhered to the AHA's superior training site guidelines, which are widely considered the gold standard. During the reporting period, TWCCH also engaged in activities of the American College of Physicians such as the ACP Day of Giving, and promoted the concept of "participatory citizenship" internally to empower our staff and learners to better understand our shared public health service responsibilities and the important role each person plays in contributing to TWCCH's mission delivery. TWCCH also continued its support of staff and learner engagement on relevant external committees with associations such as the ACGME, the American Association of Teaching Health Centers (AATHC), the Pennsylvania Association of Community Health Centers (PACHC), National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC), the Pennsylvania and Northeast Pennsylvania Medical Societies, the Area Health Education Center, The Institute of Public Policy and Economic Development, and in other community forums in support of its "participatory citizenship" philosophy. TWCCH continued its clinical training partnership with A.T. Still University's School of Osteopathic Medicine (SOMA), hosting 30 osteopathic medical students for didactics and clinical training in Scranton, Pennsylvania. TWCCH successfully entered its second year as a training site for the public health oriented Central Coast Physician Assistant Program (CCPAP), its similarly designed Hometown Scholars pipeline partnership with A.T. Still University School of Health Sciences, NACHC, and the Community Health Centers of the Central Coast California. Additionally, TWCCH developed and trained its own medical assistants (MAs) in partnership with the National Institute for Medical Assistant Advancement (NIMAA), and also community health workers (CHWs) through both the AHEC-affiliated Community Health Worker Training Program and the National Health Corps, as well as the local Readiness in Skilled Employment (RISE) academic initiative.
Form 990, Part III, Line 2 NEW PROGRAM SERVICES TWCCH, in partnership with TWCGME, presented its Wilkes-Barre Health City Hub New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) project in May 2024 in Miami, Florida to multiple Community Development Entities (CDEs), and since that time, several have gauged interest. TWCCH also received a second Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP) grant from the Governor for this important GME-SNC project in Wilkes-Barre, PA. TWCCH also submitted a second RACP grant application for its Teaching Health Center FQHC Look-Alike in Jermyn, PA. TWCCH continued its work toward the development and deployment of an effective partner satisfaction survey, in addition to its mission-critical climate surveys of TWCGME's residents and faculty. During this period, The Institute for Public Policy and Economic Development in Wilkes-Barre, PA (now known as "The Institute") was engaged to design and administer multiple surveys, including but not limited to the above as well as the semi-annual employee satisfaction survey, and also the annual Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Medical Office Surveys on Patient Safety Culture (MOSOPS) and Patient-Centered Medical Home Assessment (PCMH-A) surveys. TWCCH continued to connect clinical educational programming with TWCGME and affiliated hospital operations, aspiring towards the vision of the ACGME Sponsoring Institution 2025 (SI2025) that calls forth the seamless integration of clinical and educational programming. This includes working toward a more successful integration of dental, mental, and behavioral health into primary health services delivery. With the increased focus on value-based care (VBC) in clinical delivery sites and concordant dynamics in value-based payment changes, TWCCH supported TWCGME's integration of VBC initiatives into its Sponsoring Institutional Population Health Curriculum to enhance the education of residents and fellows to best prepare them for the future. During the reporting period, TWCCH also invested significant effort in preparedness for a successful and impactful ACGME Clinical Learning Environment Review (CLER) site visit for TWCGME's ambulatory and hospital partners. The CLER Program was implemented by the ACGME as part of the Next Accreditation System in recognition of the "public's need for a physician workforce capable of meeting the challenges of a rapidly evolving health care environment." Therefore, the ACGME CLER Program provides periodic feedback to clinical settings affiliated with ACGME-accredited programs and institutions, addressing the following six areas of importance to resident and fellow physician training: patient safety; health care quality; teaming; supervision; well-being; and professionalism. GMEC launched a CLER Subcommittee led by Clinical Leadership of TWCCH (TWCGME's primary ambulatory clinical training environment partner). CLER materials have been updated to reflect version 3.0 of CLER Pathways to Excellence, released by the ACGME in February 2024. CLER mock site visits during the covered period occurred at: Geisinger Community Medical Center (GCMC), TWCCH's Mid Valley and Scranton FQHC Look-Alike Teaching Health Centers, and Regional Hospital in June 2024. During the covered period, TWCCH developed a multi-tier approach to systematizing the Quintuple Aim, adapted from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement's (IHI's) Triple Aim and consisting of the following components: the patient experience of care (including quality and satisfaction), improving the health of the population, reducing per capita cost of care for the benefit of communities, the well-being of the healthcare workforce, and advancing health equity. TWCCH made strides in demonstrating improved standardization of clinical care across all clinical locations and services lines. The Azara platform was implemented, which now allows for the dissemination of individualized clinician, team, and clinic level report cards to promote the organization's commitment to a culture of visibility, transparency, and continuous quality improvement as related to standards of care. This commitment to quality improvement requires continuous focused team efforts and, to date, has yielded positive results according to the US Health Resources and Services Administration's (HRSA's) Uniform Data System (UDS) reporting measures. Proudly, TWCCH was one of the pioneering health centers that submitted its outcomes reporting through HRSA's newly launched UDS+ platform during the reporting period. The outcomes data demonstrated measurable decreases in variability in prioritized clinical practices, indicating improved standardization, particularly evident in the area of preventative care, including screenings for mental health (MH), sleep apnea, illicit substance use, alcohol use, as well as breast, colorectal, and cervical cancer. TWCCH is continuously enhancing its facilities and information technology infrastructure to improve the delivery of our clinical and educational services. For example, TWCCH equipped waiting rooms with electronic tablets for patients to complete essential screenings listed above, streamlining the process while empowering patients to take an active ownership role in their health and health services.
Form 990, Part III, Line 2 NEW PROGRAM SERVICES During the covered period, TWCCH actively prepared for its next HRSA FQHC Look-Alike Operational Site Visit (OSV) while also preparing its application for an anticipated HRSA Notice of Funding Opportunity to become a full FQHC H80 grantee of the Public Health Service Act through New Access Point (NAP) funding. HRSA's OSV is an onsite evaluation by experienced reviewers engaged and trained by HRSA's Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC) to evaluate health center compliance with Health Center Program requirements as specified in the Health Center Compliance Manual. Although TWCCH's OSV took place on November 19-20, 2024 (after the close of the reporting period), TWCCH was diligently preparing and thoroughly validating that it was in a constant state of compliance and readiness for the OSV throughout the covered period. This level of enterprise-wide preparation resulted in an extremely successful OSV in November, during which TWCCH was found to be in 100% compliance with all applicable requirements. The OSV review team meticulously reviewed documents, challenged and questioned certain practices where appropriate, and provided constructive feedback for consideration to inform TWCCH's journey to excellence. OSVs provide incredible experiential and reflective opportunities to expand mission-driven operations and compliance efforts, as well as ensuring alignment with the evolving priorities of HRSA, BPHC, and HHS to maintain public trust. The incredible work invested into preparation for HRSA's OSV perfectly positioned TWCCH to submit a high-quality NAP application. On May 30, 2024, the web-based NAP application portal was made available to current or aspiring HRSA-designated Federally Qualified Health Centers in supporting the development of new health center services and delivery sites to expand affordable, accessible, and high-quality primary health services for underserved communities and populations. The first phase of TWCCH's application was timely submitted before the deadline of August 30, 2024, with the second phase successfully submitted prior to the October 2, 2024 deadline. In support of this application and in furtherance of TWCCH's mission, TWCCH secured a new location in Blakeslee, Pennsylvania where unmet health needs indicated a NAP clinical location would be most impactful.

Form 990, Part III, Line 2 New program services In the covered period, The Wright Center for Community Health (TWCCH) expanded or commenced planning for the further expansion of its primary health services FQHC Look-Alike footprint to four new clinical locations. During fiscal year 2022-2023, TWCCH was requested to engage with an independent, well-established, trusted primary care physician who practiced in North Scranton, Pennsylvania for nearly forty years to ensure that, upon his impending retirement, those he served had continued access to high quality, non-discriminatory primary health services. During the covered period, TWCCH opened FQHC Look-Alike services at this practice site and welcomed all of the impacted patients who wished to transition their care to TWCCH. In order to assure uninterrupted access to primary health services in that local community and for the convenience of patients, from July through December, 2023, TWCCH leased and renovated that clinical space in North Scranton before ultimately purchasing the property in April 2024. This TWCCH location is currently thriving, sustainable, and growing, notably expanding TWCCH's Pennsylvania Center of Opioid Use Disorder Excellence. A neighboring facility has since been purchased by TWCCH to with plans to construct a new state-of-the-art FQHC Look-Alike facility to expand operations to honor and meet the health needs of the patients in the community. Similarly, the acute departure of two well-established primary care physicians in practice for over twenty-five years prompted TWCCH's invitation to responsively open FQHC Look-Alike services in Dickson City, Pennsylvania during the covered period. TWCCH implemented a rapid action strategy and plan to purchase and renovate the building where those physicians practiced, opening the doors to a new TWCCH FQHC Look-Alike Health Center in Dickson City in October 2024 that prevented a serious gap in access to primary health services for the patients and families in that community, many of whom belong to vulnerable populations. Just as in North Scranton, the Dickson City Practice is sustainable and thriving today. During the covered period, TWCCH actively explored another expansion opportunity to increase access to non-discriminatory whole-person primary health services in Scranton, this time co-locating with a well-established area mental and behavioral health provider. TWCCH was invited to collaborate with Friendship House, a community governed non-profit mental health services agency. This new co-location arrangement came to fruition in November 2024 with a new TWCCH FQHC Look-Alike Health Center within Friendship House's new building located on Wyoming Avenue in downtown Scranton. This mission-aligned collaboration aims to ensure the continued expansion of access and coordination of whole-person, patient-centered primary care and behavioral health services for the convenience and benefit of patients, including for individuals with complex serious mental health and/or substance use disorder needs. These essential community provider health services are available to individuals of all ages, regardless of their insurance status, ZIP code, or ability to pay. Patients do not need to be clients of Friendship House to receive health services at TWCCH's FQHC Look-Alike Wyoming Avenue Health Center. Continuously growing and expanding primary health services and job creation during the covered period, TWCCH also took the opportunity to purchase a property adjacent to its FQHC Look-Alike Teaching Health Center in Jermyn, PA. This expansion was supported with funding from the Pennsylvania Neighborhood Assistance Program, a tax credit program that encourages businesses to invest in projects that improve distressed areas or support neighborhood conservation. TWCCH is currently engaged in planning for future development of that property to support the operations of the FQHC Look-Alike Teaching Health Center to better meet the needs of patients, families, and physician and interprofessional learners served. TWCCH implemented a number of new initiatives to enrich non-discriminatory, whole-person primary health services to better care for patients and families and to better train the physician and interprofessional healthcare workforce. In response to the ever-growing demand for mental and behavioral health services and the crucial shortage of mental and behavioral health workforce, during the reporting period, TWCCH continued to advance its efforts for primary care and behavioral health integration while nurturing grass roots partnerships and collaborations with community mental and behavioral health service providers. TWCCH strategically enhanced its mental and behavioral health service line through increasing investments in the growth of mental and behavioral health providers by encouraging psychiatry certification of its primary care nurse practitioners and physician assistants, and also recruiting additional licensed clinical social workers and licensed professional counselors. Schedules were also made visible to optimize available slots against the waiting list for appointments. TWCCH intentionally deepened its relationship with a local psychiatry practice to enhance its ability to provide primary care integrated needs-responsive mental and behavioral health services to patients and families. This psychiatry practice historically has a strong bi-directional referral relationship with TWCCH. Its psychiatrists thankfully engaged to provide contracted supervision services for TWCCH's psychiatry-certified nurse practitioners and physician assistants. Additionally, TWCCH undertook renewed strategic recruitment efforts to secure two full-time public health psychiatrists for employment with TWCCH in northeast Pennsylvania. Proudly, this work led to TWCCH being selected as one of three practices in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to participate in a Pennsylvania Department of Human Services grant awarded in FYE 2025 from the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) promoting the Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) to integrate primary care and psychiatry services. A five year opportunity, TWCCH's participation in this grant holds much promise for innovative integration tools and methods that will positively impact health outcomes of the populations served while informing optimal business modeling to ensure long-term sustainability.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4d Description of other program services (Expenses $ 111,742 including grants of $ 126,000)(Revenue $ 542,445)
Form 990, Part IV, Line 28 BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS In November 2017, TWCCH, and its affiliated organization, TWCGME, executed a lease agreement with Wyoming Avenue Development, LLC to develop and rent a 36,500 sq. ft. flagship clinical, educational, and administrative hub at 501 South Washington Avenue, Scranton, Pennsylvania, a formally economically distressed city at that time. Mr. Joseph Ferrario was a volunteer Director on TWCCH's Board of Directors, the Chair of TWCGME's Board of Directors, TWCCH's affiliate entity, and served as a volunteer director on TWCCH's other affiliated entities as well. On July 12, 2019, Mr. Ferrario resigned from TWCCH's Board of Directors and from all Boards of Directors of its affiliated organizations. At the time the lease transaction was consummated, Mr. Ferrario owned more than 35% of Wyoming Avenue Development, LLC. Mr. Ferrario's conflict of interest was fully disclosed and communicated, ethically assessed, and approved by the Board of Directors of TWCCH and TWCGME prior to entering into the transaction. The conflict of interest policy described in Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c was followed, and a legal ethics opinion approving and offering best practices for addressing and managing a conflict of interest on a non-profit board was obtained from outside legal counsel, with all guidance being followed. On July 25, 2019, the 15-year lease agreement was amended for purposes of complying with the federal New Markets Tax Credit program requirements, and TWCGME became the sole lessee of the rented space. TWCGME subleases space to TWCCH at 501 South Washington Avenue, Scranton, Pennsylvania for FQHC Look-Alike primary health services and administrative operations. The lease went into effect on November 26, 2019, clarifying that TWCGME was the primary lessee of 41,990 sq. ft. of space, utilizing additional space on the second floor of the property for educational and other activities. Renovations of the demised premises on the first and second floors of the building occurred between early 2018 and December 2019, with the commencement date of the amended and restated lease agreement for the first floor occurring on November 26, 2019.
Form 990, Part V, Line 2a COMMON PAYMASTER TWCCH is affiliated with TWCGME (EIN: 23-2007832), sharing a mission to improve the health and welfare of our communities through responsive whole-person health services for all and the sustainable renewal of an inspired and competent workforce that is privileged to serve. To streamline operational efficiency, TWCGME serves as the common paymaster for both TWCGME and TWCCH, adhering to IRS regulations for W-2 reporting. This consolidated payroll system covers all employees except for TWCCH's President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Medical and Information Officer, and Chief Clinical Operating Officer, who are directly employed by TWCCH. The services of TWCCH's Chief Executive and Chief Medical and Information Officer are contracted for services as key employees/executives for TWCGME in the positions of President and CEO and SVP of Clinical Educational Integration, respectively. TWCGME reports all remaining employees on its Form W-3. Therefore, all Full-Time Equivalents (FTEs) are accurately allocated to each respective entity, avoiding duplication, based on a shared mission covenant and related staffing lease agreements.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12a 12b, & 12c - CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY A written Conflict of Interest Policy recommended by the SVP for Enterprise Integrity has been approved by the President and CEO and Board of Directors. The SVP of Enterprise Integrity and the Chief Compliance Officer work together to ensure it is reviewed, updated if necessary, and renewed annually, or more frequently when necessary or appropriate. The SVP for Enterprise Integrity, along with the Governance and Chief Compliance Officers, ensure that the Conflict of Interest Disclosure Form is completed annually by all governing board members ("directors") and officers. Together, this team, along with the VP of Human Resources, ensures that the Conflict of Interest Disclosure Form is completed annually by executive management and all staff, including but not limited to key employees of the organization. Should a conflict of interest or potential conflict arise during the year among directors and officers, the Governance Officer and the SVP for Enterprise Integrity ensure the Conflict of Interest Disclosure Form is updated to reflect the possible conflict. Potential conflicts of directors and officers, if any, are fully disclosed, vetted by internal counsel and the Audit/Compliance Committee, and reviewed by the Board, with outside ethics consultation obtained when appropriate. Education on conflicts of interest is provided to new directors and officers during Board Orientation and to the full Board annually during the review, update, and renewal of the Conflict of Interest Policy. Directors officers' compliance with the policy is monitored by the Audit/Compliance Committee of the Board and supported by the Governance Officer and SVP for Enterprise Integrity. Education on conflicts of interest, including any revisions to the Conflict of Interest Policy, is provided to new employees during orientation, and annually during the performance review process. Adherence by staff to the Conflict of Interest policy is monitored by managers with the supportive oversight of the VP of Human Resources, the SVP for Enterprise Integrity and the Chief Compliance Officer.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Review of form 990 by governing body TWCCH'S Form 990 is prepared by the senior leadership team of the Finance and Enterprise Integrity Departments with detailed review and input from the executive management team and President and CEO. The draft Form 990 is then reviewed by an independent, contracted CPA firm. The refined Form 990 is then distributed to the Audit/Compliance and Executive Committees of the Board of Directors and subsequently to the full Board of Directors for review, input, and approval for federal filing. Upon completion of this review, necessary revisions, and approval, the Form 990 is finalized, signed by the organization's President and CEO, and filed with the IRS. TWCCH's three most recently filed 990s, along with three sequential annual reports, are transparently available on our website in a downloadable format, and are kept in a secure location at every required operational site where they may be reviewed in hard copy upon request, consistent with IRS applicable laws, rules, and regulations.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official TWCCH contracts .25 FTE of its President and CEO to TWCGME to perform the role as President and CEO of TWCGME. The Executive Committee of the TWCCH Board leads the process for determining the compensation of The Wright Center For Community Health's (TWCCH) President & CEO, engaging a third-party external consultant to conduct a formal, periodic objective, comprehensive, organization-wide compensation study generally every three to five years. During contract negotiations with the President and CEO, the relevant components of the study are appropriately aged and supplemented by data from sources such as the American Job Center Network, Medical Group Management Association (MGMA), Form 990s of comparable organizations, and compensation surveys from the Pennsylvania and National Associations of Community Health Centers, among other relevant regional and national benchmarks. Annually, the Executive Committees collaboratively conduct a thorough performance evaluation of the chief executive officer's performance for each organization, assessing the appropriateness of salary and benefit adjustments. These adjustments, if made between contract terms, are benchmarked against publicly available comparable data. Ultimately, the chief executive officer's compensation is determined based on a robust performance evaluation, organizational performance, and careful consideration of the independent compensation study, market comparability, and financial feasibility. The Executive Committees' deliberations and decisions regarding executive compensation are meticulously documented in meeting minutes within 60 days of the evaluation's completion and the compensation determination.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b Process to establish compensation of other employees In addition to the President & CEO, the Chief Medical and Information Officer and Chief Clinical Operating Officer are directly employed by The Wright Center For Community Health (TWCCH). The compensation of all other employees, including key employees, is determined by the chief executive (TWCCH President & CEO) and the Human Resources Department, guided by a formal, periodic objective, comprehensive, organization-wide compensation study completed generally every three to five years. The VP of HR and the President & CEO may also consider additional data in determining compensation levels within the organization, such as information from the American Job Center Network website, Medical Group Management Association (MGMA), Form 990s of comparable organizations, and Compensation Surveys of The Pennsylvania Association of Community Health Centers and National Association of Community Health Centers, among other regional and national benchmarks. TWCCH also leases the services of TWCCH's Chief Medical and Information Officer to TWCGME as a key employee/executive for TWCGME in the position of SVP of Clinical Educational Integration. The third-party external compensation consultant jointly engaged by TWCCH and TWCGME also includes the services of this position, like all executive positions, in its formal, periodic objective, comprehensive, organization-wide compensation study completed generally every three to five years.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 Required documents available to the public The Wright Center For Community Health's (TWCCH) documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are kept in a secure location and are available for public inspection during business hours at the organization's administrative office at 501 South Washington Avenue, Suite 1000 in Scranton, Pennsylvania, 18505, and other locations as required by IRS rules and regulations.
