| Form 990, Part III, Line 1 ORGANIZATION MISSION | THE WRIGHT CENTER FOR PATIENT AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT (TWCPCE) A PENNSYLVANIA 501(C)(3) TAX-EXEMPT NON-PROFIT CORPORATION. THE MISSION OF TWCPCE 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. TWCPCE'S WORK IS INTRINSICALLY LINKED TO THAT OF THE WRIGHT CENTER FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH (TWCCH), TWCPCE'S SOLE CORPORATE MEMBER. TWCCH, A PENNSYLVANIA 501(C)(3) TAX-EXEMPT NON-PROFIT CORPORATION, IS DESIGNATED BY THE US HEALTH RESOURCES AND SERVICES ADMINISTRATION (HRSA) AS A FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER LOOK-ALIKE (FQHC LOOK-ALIKE) ESSENTIAL COMMUNITY PROVIDER OF COMPREHENSIVE, WHOLE-PERSON PRIMARY HEALTH SERVICES WITHOUT REGARD FOR ABILITY TO PAY, INSURANCE STATUS, OR ZIP CODE. TWCCH DELIVERS COMPREHENSIVE, NON-DISCRIMINATORY, WHOLE-PERSON PRIMARY HEALTH SERVICES WITHIN A PATIENT-CENTERED MEDICAL HOME (PCMH) FRAMEWORK ACROSS THE LIFESPAN, FROM PEDIATRICS TO GERIATRICS, AND INCLUDE MEDICAL, WOMEN'S HEALTH, GENERAL DENTAL, MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER TREATMENT AND RECOVERY, CARE AND CASE MANAGEMENT, OBESITY, INFECTIOUS DISEASE, RYAN WHITE HIV/AIDS SERVICES, RHEUMATOLOGICAL, NUTRITIONAL, AND LIFESTYLE MEDICINE. THESE COMPREHENSIVE, FULLY INTEGRATED, NON-DISCRIMINATORY PRIMARY HEALTH SERVICES, ENHANCED BY SPECIALTY INTEGRATION ACTIVITIES, EXPAND ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY CARE FOR PATIENTS, FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES WHILE ENHANCING THE EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES OF THE PHYSICIAN AND INTERPROFESSIONAL HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE. 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 AND 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. THIS INNOVATIVE MODEL ADDRESSES THE NATIONAL PRIMARY CARE WORKFORCE SHORTAGE, MIS-DISTRIBUTION, AND RELATED ACCESS NEEDS BY PROMOTING COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS AS INTEGRATED ACADEMIC PRIMARY CARE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PLATFORMS. THE COMMUNITY AND PATIENT-DRIVEN GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES OF THE WRIGHT CENTER FOR PATIENT AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT (TWCPCE) AMPLIFIES TWCCH'S FQHC LOOK-ALIKE GOVERNANCE PLATFORM BY ALIGNING ITS COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECTS WITH THE SPECIFIC NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY EACH TWCCH HEALTH CENTER LOCATION. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF TWCPCE IS CO-CHAIRED BY THE PRESIDENT & CEO OF TWCCH AND TWCGME. TWCPCE'S BOARD INCLUDES PATIENTS AND COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS, AS WELL AS REPRESENTATIVES FROM TWO STRATEGICALLY IDENTIFIED STAKEHOLDER GROUPS: RESIDENT PHYSICIANS TRAINING IN TWCGME'S PRIMARY CARE RESIDENCY PROGRAMS; AND TWCCH STAFF MEMBERS WHOSE ROLES INVOLVE ADDRESSING AND TRACKING THE NON-MEDICAL NEEDS OF TWCCH'S PATIENTS AND FAMILIES THAT NEGATIVELY IMPACT HEALTH OUTCOMES. TWO OF TWCGME'S PRIMARY CARE RESIDENT PHYSICIANS SERVE AS VOTING MEMBERS OF TWCPCE'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS, BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN PHYSICIAN LEARNERS AND PATIENT, FAMILY, AND COMMUNITY NEEDS. THIS VITAL CONNECTION NOT ONLY FOSTERS RESIDENT PHYSICIAN WELLNESS AND RESILIENCE THROUGH MEANINGFUL SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES BUT ALSO DEEPENS THEIR TIES TO THE PATIENTS, FAMILIES, AND COMMUNITIES TWCCH SERVES, ULTIMATELY STRENGTHENING THE PHYSICIAN WORKFORCE PIPELINE AND WELCOMING THEM TO REMAIN IN THE REGION POST-GRADUATION. THE TWCCH STAFF POSITION VOTING MEMBERS OF TWCPCE'S BOARD INCLUDE THE AVP OF INTEGRATED PRIMARY HEALTH SERVICES AND THE ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORD AND HEALTH INFORMATICS MANAGER. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 1 ORGANIZATION MISSION | THESE BOARD MEMBERS DIRECTLY INTEGRATE TWCPCE'S WORK WITH THE OPERATIONS OF THE GME-SNC THROUGH DATA-DRIVEN, NEEDS-RESPONSIVE PROGRAMMING. TWCPCE, UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF TWCCH AND TWCGME, ANALYZES DE-IDENTIFIED PATIENT DATA AS WELL AS LOCAL, REGIONAL, AND NATIONAL COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS AND HEALTH INDICATORS. THIS COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH ENSURES THAT TWCPCE'S OUTREACH AND PROGRAMS ARE STRATEGICALLY ALIGNED WITH TWCCH'S MISSION TO ADDRESS THE MOST PRESSING NON-MEDICAL NEEDS AND CHALLENGES OF PATIENTS, FAMILIES, AND THE COMMUNITIES TWCCH SERVES. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a PROGRAM SERVICE DESCRIPTION | During the covered period, food insecurity and clothing assistance emerged as predominant health needs across clinical locations. TWCPCE held many food pantries that served 6,300 patients and families with needed food. Multiple Community Closet activities supported 563 patients/families with winter coats and clothing, and another 100 patients with bags of warmth consisting of hats, gloves, scarves, and when available, snacks. TWCPCE also secured a donation of 10,000 pairs of Bombas socks for distribution to patients and families, with 2,975 pairs of socks distributed during the covered period. TWCPCE enabled transportation for 834 patients for medically-related travel. During the fiscal year, more than 835 school-aged children in Lackawanna County received backpacks and school supplies. The blood drives promoted by TWCPCE in association with the American Red Cross led to the donation of 184 pints of blood, enough to save 582 lives. Notably, TWCPCE also provided housing support to 473 patients and families, and assisted another 687 patients and families with utility needs. TWCPCE organized health education, artistic, and social engagement activities at various community venues and senior centers to benefit older adults who are at particular risk for social isolation and the related negative health consequences. More than 1,200 individuals were reached through self-affirming, expressive art, and mindfulness activities. These activities took place at various homeless shelters, recovery centers, senior centers, and youth centers in our region. Additionally, TWCPCE integrated artistic and mindfulness activities programming with patients and families engaged in TWCCH's Ryan White services, and other populations affected by complex non-medical patient and community needs that negatively impact health status. TWCPCE supported the advanced certification and participation of individuals to further enhance skill sets to better support patients, families, and the communities served by TWCCH. For example, TWCPCE supported the certification of an individual in Opening Minds through Art (OMA) to enrich the engagement with seniors living with dementia in the various senior centers and facilities that are visited throughout the year, while also enhancing recurring monthly art groups at facilities such as Telespond Senior Services and Fallbrook Healthy Aging campus. TWCPCE also engaged in recurring events at collaborating organizations such as Keystone Mission, Community Intervention Center, Scranton Counseling Center's Psychiatric Rehabilitation Unit, White Birch, Geneva House, and the Drug and Alcohol Treatment Service. Some of the projects at these events included creating self-compassion cards, kindness rocks, and artistic and mindfulness exercises. In the arena of public health education, TWCPCE was empowered to connect communities, increase mental health education and screenings, and combat stigma by building mental health literacy by training staff members of TWCCH in Mental Health First Aid (MHFA), a skills-based training course that teaches participants about mental health and substance-use issues and coping skills. These individuals are conducting community and staff MHFA education to spread learning, contributing to stigma reduction and Mental Health First Aid preparedness throughout the communities TWCCH serves. In fiscal year 2023-2024, TWCPCE supported the training of 13 TWCCH staff members in Adult MHFA. Additionally, TWCPCE collaborated with the Northeast Pennsylvania Area Health Education Center (NEPA AHEC) in supporting the training of 22 area high school seniors in Youth MHFA, and trained another 25 community members participating in NEPA AHEC's Scholars program in Adult MFHA. TWCPCE was honored to sponsor several Integrative Community Therapy (ICT) sessions, a program of the Visible Hands Collaborative, during the reporting period. Integrative Community Therapy (ICT) is a method of supporting individual and community health through group conversation. Inspired by the Brazilian method, Terapia Comunitaria Integrativa, an internationally recognized approach to mental health support, ICT uses guided conversation between members of a community to create a safe space for participants to share life experiences and wisdom. This accessible, effective method does not rely on the traditional healthcare system's referrals, doctors, insurance, etc. |
