| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | In 2021/ 2022, the latest cycle for completing community health needs assessment was initiated in Lenoir County by Lenoir County Health Department and UNC Health Lenoir. Lenoir County works within the Health ENC partnership in unifying regional process and timeline. Community input was obtained through survey process and input of community health leaders using the Lenoir County Alliance for a Healthy Community to collaborate and partner in establishing community priorities for the next three years. Community priorities were established in no particular order as: + Wellness & Lifestyle + Immunizations & Infectious Diseases + Substance Abuse The full 2021/2022 Lenoir County CHNA and UNC Lenoir Health Care Implementation Strategies as well as past assessments and strategies are located at the Healthy Communities tab under the Minges Wellness Center at UNCLENOIR.ORG. HEALTHY COMMUNITIES COMMUNITY PORTAL Using the healthy communities institute, a comprehensive health status database is located at the healthy communities tab under the minges wellness center at unclenoir.org which provides the latest Lenoir County demographics and leading health indicators. It allows the user to search and report on more than 200 health, economic, social, and well-being indicators, demographics, and comparisons with NC and national benchmarks. The database provides promising practices for community health interventions and allows the community to add local reports for a one stop inspection for local community health assessment. Community leaders have been informed of the free resource for general use. COMMUNITY COALITION ACTIVITIES The Lenoir County Alliance for a Healthy Community met monthly for community networking and information sharing. Almost 20 different community organizations participate in the meetings. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT UNC Health Lenoir financially supported, through donation or sponsorships, numerous Lenoir County organizations including Chamber of Commerce, Education Foundation, United Way, Lenoir Community College Foundation, and Partnership for Children. In addition cash donations were made to the Community Council for the Arts, Rotary Club of Kinston, La Grange Arts Council, Neuse Regional Library, Barbeque Festival on the Neuse, Mary's Soup Kitchen, and Relay for Life. COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT ADVOCACY UNC Health Lenoir focused on improving Maternal & Child Health, through these initiatives: - "Baby Friendly" practices such as "rooming in"skin to skin" for mom and baby are Standards of Care. Skin to skin education is given prior to birth and discussed with moms. Skin to skin provides quicker thermoregulation of the newborn, stabilization of blood glucose levels, decreases newborn crying and maternal anxiety, and promotes a positive breastfeeding experience. - Breastfeeding support is provided for those moms who choose to breastfeed. Breastfeeding is initiated within the first hour and encouragement given for breastfeeding on demand. Proper bottle-feeding techniques, hunger ques and feeding patterns are taught to those moms that choose to formula feed. Feeding logs are encouraged for all new parents, to help transition parents into their new roles and responsibilities. New guidelines established to encourage breastfeeding for mothers in substance use disorder programs. - Participating in current collaborative with the Perinatal Quality Collaborative of North Carolina to decrease opioid use disorder impact on mothers and babies. This will focus on screening women with a validated tool prenatally and upon hospital admission for substance abuse disorder and assisting these individuals to receive needed resources which includes a social work consult, appointment at a treatment center (if agreed upon) and a safe plan of care upon discharge. Updated management for identification and treatment for the newborns is implemented via the Eat Sleep and Console method, which uses mom as medicine. - Admitted inpatients receive a depression screening to help aid in early identification of depression disorder which has the potential to lead to suicidal ideations and/or substance use disorder. If scoring is high, a social work consult is made and a follow-up mental health appointment is made for the patient prior to discharge. - Families receive safe sleep education prior to infant discharge which is focused on safe sleep practices at home. This is in efforts to help reduce the rates of Sudden Unexplained Infant Death Syndrome. - Patients receive Social Determinant of Health Screenings related to: Financial Strain, Food Insecurity, Transportation Needs, Health Literacy, Interpersonal Safety, Intimate Partner Violence, Social Connections, Substance Use Disorder, Physical Activity, Stress/ Depression and are provided needed resources by the interdisciplinary team with guidance by a Social Worker. - A series of newborn screenings are performed when appropriate and include; Critical Congenital Heart Defects (CCHD), jaundice, hearing, and a metabolic screening. Approximately 18 out of every 10,000 babies are born with a critical congenital heart defect (CCHD). CCHD is life threatening and requires intervention in infancy. CCHD is not always detected prenatally or upon exam in the nursery, as a result, some infants with CCHD are discharged from the nursery to home, where they quickly decompensate. To improve the early detection of CCHD, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) recommends that CCHD screenings be added to the uniform newborn screening panel. Jaundice is an increase in bilirubin levels and treated with phototherapy. Hearing screenings are routine practice to help catch hearing loss early on and avoid any speech or developmental delays. Metabolic screenings are obtained and sent to the state lab in order to quickly identify any possible metabolic disorders of the newborn. - OBH (obstetric hemorrhage) is a major cause of maternal death and morbidity in North Carolina. The FBC is working with the perinatal quality improvement teams to identify and promptly manage OBH. All obstetric patients seeking care at UNC Lenoir Health Care are assessed for OBH (obstetric hemorrhage) risks on admission, at complete dilatation and at delivery. Intervention guidelines for the optimal response of the multidisciplinary team in the event of obstetrical hemorrhage (OBH) have been implemented. - Focused educational rounding is performed to provide open discussion learning opportunities for parents and educational videos are encouraged throughout the admission stay with topic focus on newborn care and safety. Signs and symptoms are reviewed regarding when to seek immediate medical care or call 911 for infant and maternal emergencies. Mothers are given "I Gave Birth Bracelets" to increase postpartum complication awareness via emergency responders in the community. - A Parenting Education station with dozens of free educational resources is maintained in the FBC waiting room to support families in best practices for parenting. - Collaboration with pregnancy clinics to give consistent and up to date education regarding antepartum, intrapartum, postpartum and neonatal care. Stork booklets are delivered to all offices and office staff are encouraged to distribute these booklets as a "What to Expect at UNC Health Lenoir When You are Expecting". The 20-page booklet is a free educational journal the patient can use to keep track of important health information, learn week by week, and know what to get prepared for throughout her pregnancy journey. - Collaboration with Lenoir County Health Department on resources offered such as "Cribs for Kids." - Antepartum patients receive education on resources offered in the community as well as what patient needs to bring to the hospital at the time of delivery, and information regarding car seat education upon discharge. - Maternal mental health hotline number is provided to all patients to be used as a resource if patient experiences any mental health concerns including postpartum depression or anxiety. including postpartum depression or anxiety. |

Cancer Center Volunteer Lay Navigation Once a diagnosis of cancer is received, patients often feel overwhelmed. Volunteer lay navigators, supervised by the social worker and/or oncology nurse navigator at the Cancer Center, help patients identify and remove barriers to care while linking them to available cancer support resources. The Lay Navigator meets with each new patient in consult and makes supportive phone calls to patients recently finished with treatments. UNC Health's Lay Navigator made multiple supportive phone calls in FY 2024. Over 146 hours in person volunteer hours were donated by the Lay Navigator in FY 2024.
