Facility Reporting Group - AAdventHealth Orlando & CampusesIn 2023, Adventist Health System/Sunbelt, Inc. owned and operated eight hospital campuses under a single hospital license in the greater Orlando, Florida area. The eight separate campuses operate under the following dba names: AdventHealth Altamonte Springs, AdventHealth Apopka, AdventHealth Celebration, AdventHealth East Orlando, AdventHealth Kissimmee, AdventHealth Orlando, AdventHealth Winter Garden, and AdventHealth Winter Park (the Hospitals). These eight hospitals comprise the AdventHealth Central Florida Division South (CFD-South). The CFD-South conducted its 2022 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) as a collaborative process with the Central Florida Collaborative (CFC), which included hospital systems, behavior health providers and federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) in Orange, Seminole, Lake and Osceola Counties (these four counties would be considered the Greater Orlando area), as well as the Florida Department of Health in Orange, Seminole, Lake, and Osceola Counties. The primary and secondary data collected by the CFC was utilized by the CFD-South Hospitals to prioritize the top health care needs that would be addressed in the 2022-2024 CHNA. To ensure that input was received from organizations representing low-income, minority, and other underserved populations, the CFC created a team of Equity Champions composed of ten individuals or organizations that represented multiracial or other minority communities. The Equity Champions included organizations and individuals from the Black/African American community and Hispanic/Latino/Spanish language speakers community, the LGBTQ+ community, and from members of the community of people living with disabilities (including HIV/AIDS), people experiencing homelessness, immigrants/migrant workers, faith-based communities, inmates, and members of the veteran community. Primary data gathering included Equity Champions Diversity Group Outreach, Stakeholder one-to-one interviews, and focus group discussions. The CFC conducted a broad-based community survey among residents of Orange, Seminole, Lake, and Osceola Counties. The surveys were conducted from December 29, 2021, to February 22, 2022 and were conducted online and in paper and offered in five languages, with approximately 4,000 community members. The survey instrument included topic areas that emerged from secondary data analysis, literature reviews of existing documents, initial qualitative research, and other early-stage research activities.One-to-one interviews were conducted with key community stakeholders, policymakers, and local residents. Interviews were conducted between October 29, 2021, and January 31, 2022. Most of the 105 interviews lasted approximately 20-30 minutes, although a few continued for over an hour. In addition to interviews and the survey, 30 focus group discussions were held from October of 2021 through February of 2022. In total there were approximately 250 participants and included the following community organizations: PCAN, Health and Hunger Task Force, Creating a Resilient Community Network, Black Nurses Rock, True Health FQHC, the Center for Independent Living, the Mayors Council for mental and behavioral health, the Seminole County Opioid Council, the Healthy Seminole Collaborative, and the Children's Cabinet.**see continuation of footnote

Group A-Facility 1 -- AdventHealth OrlandoDescription of CHNA Significant NeedsAdventist Health System/Sunbelt, Inc. d/b/a AdventHealth Orlando will be referred to in this document as AdventHealth Orlando or "the Hospital." The Hospital is a wholly owned subsidiary of Adventist Health System Sunbelt Healthcare Corporation (AHSSHC). AHSSHC is the 501(c)(3) parent organization of a hospital and healthcare system known as AdventHealth. This is the first-year update for the Hospital's 2023 - 2025 Community Health Plan/Implementation Strategy. The Hospital developed this plan and posted it in May 2023 as part of its 2022 Community Health Needs Assessment process. For the development of both the Community Health Needs Assessment and the Community Health Plan/Implementation Strategy, AdventHealth Orlando worked to define and address the needs of low-income, minority and underserved populations in its service area. The Community Health Needs Assessment used primary data interviews and surveys; secondary data from local, regional, and national health-related sources; and Hospital prevalence data to help the Hospital determine the health needs of the community it serves. Once the data was gathered, the health issues identified in the community health needs assessment were prioritized by community and Hospital stakeholders, who then selected key priorities for the Hospital to address in its Community Health Plan. The first-year progress on the Community Health Plan is noted below. The narrative describes the priorities identified in 2022 and gives an update on the strategies addressing those prioritized needs. There is also a description of the identified needs that the Hospital did not prioritize to address. The Hospital's chosen priorities are listed below:1. Enhance Mental Health Outreach2. Social Determinant of Health: Workforce Development Priority 1: Enhance Mental Health Outreach 2022 Description of the Priority: Mental health outreach and treatment were identified as top needs from the CHNA. This includes mental health crisis services and community awareness of available resources, mental health outpatient services capacity, behavioral health outpatient services for children, mental health inpatient bed capacity, mental health and substance use disorder transition care for inmates being released from jail, and mental health stigma reduction. There is a growing need in Orange, Osceola and Seminole County to increase the available resources addressing mental health needs. 2023 Update: Goal 1.1: Expand access to mental health services for community members by partnering with faith and community partners. Objective 1.1.1: By the end of year 1, establish a Community Resource Spot in Osceola County to ensure access within the hospital service area. This initiative and the reported outcomes are shared across all facilities in the Central Florida Division. Community Resource Spot: Definition and Function: A Community Resource Spot is a designated area within a community health framework that serves as a central hub for accessing a variety of resources and services aimed at supporting the health and well-being of community members. Community Resource Spot Purpose: The primary purpose of the Community Resource Spot is to provide easily accessible, comprehensive support to individuals and families, addressing a wide range of needs such as health care, social services, education, and community engagement. Vicmael Arroyo, Chaplain, advised he has made good progress with Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in Osceola County, and they have begun working on logistics for the new Community Resource Center (CRS). They are currently focusing efforts on all the necessary training and resources and have a tentative ETA to be ready to launch by the end of this year. Objective 1.2: By the end of year 3, increase the mental health programming available to residents in Orange, Osceola and Seminole county through the Community Resource Spots. This initiative and the reported outcomes are shared across all facilities in the Central Florida Division. Vicmael Arroyo, Chaplain, advised he has made good progress with Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in Osceola County, and they have begun working on logistics for the new Community Resource Center (CRS).

Group A-Facility 1 -- AdventHealth OrlandoDescription of CHNA Significant Needs Continued Priority 2: Social Determinants of Health Workforce Development 2022 Description of the Priority: According to the CDC, social determinants of health (SDOH) are the conditions in the places where people live, learn, work and play that affect a wide range of health risks and outcomes. Social determinants of health are increasingly seen as the largest contributing factor to health inequities in communities throughout the country. Based on the significance of need and available resources, the Hospitals will address social determinants of health with a focus on workforce as the Hospital believes that initially focusing on community workforce development will reduce housing burden and address other priorities identified, such as increasing access to care and mental health. 2023 Update: Goal 2.1: Increase support for career training and education programs. Objective 2.1.1: By the end of year 3, increase percentage of funding provided to partners who actively support community workforce training and education opportunities by 25%. This initiative and the reported outcomes are shared across all facilities in the Central Florida Division. The 2024 3C social determinant of health priority will be Workforce Development. More updates will come in 2024. The Collaborative Community Council (3C), a subcommittee of the AdventHealth Orlando Board of Directors, funds projects identified in the Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). Managed by AdventHealth Orlando, we partner with community organizations to create impactful solutions that enhance community health and reduce preventable medical costs. Our focus includes addressing the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) to improve overall quality and longevity of life. Objective 2.1.2: Increase the number of area workforce development non-profit organizations trained on the Whole Health Hub and thus added to the Whole Health Hub's Trusted Network. The Whole Health Hub is a free website that allows anyone to search and connect to a wide variety of social services based on their location. By the end of year 3, we will increase the number of claimed profiles to 12 from a baseline of 5. This initiative and the reported outcomes are shared across all facilities in the Central Florida Division. No progress has been made on this objective. Priorities Not Addressed by the Hospital: The Community Health Needs Assessment identified multiple health needs through the collection of primary and secondary data. After reviewing the data, the Hospital and community stakeholders conducted a prioritization process. Listed below are the priorities not addressed and the reason why they were not selected to be addressed. 1. Health Care Access and Quality: This need was not chosen as a priority because the Hospital is already collaborating with several partners in the community and has launched several initiatives designed to address Health Care Access and Quality.

For the development of both the Community Health Needs Assessment and the Community Health Plan/Implementation Strategy, AdventHealth East Orlando worked to define and address the needs of low-income, minority and underserved populations in its service area. The Community Health Needs Assessment used primary data interviews and surveys; secondary data from local, regional, and national health-related sources; and Hospital prevalence data to help the Hospital determine the health needs of the community it serves. Once the data was gathered, the health issues identified in the community health needs assessment were prioritized by community and Hospital stakeholders, who then selected key priorities for the Hospital to address in its Community Health Plan. The first-year progress on the Community Health Plan is noted below. The narrative describes the priorities identified in 2022 and gives an update on the strategies addressing those prioritized needs. There is also a description of the identified needs that the Hospital did not prioritize to address. The Hospital's chosen priorities are listed below:1. Enhance Mental Health Outreach2. Social Determinant of Health: Workforce DevelopmentPriority 1: Enhance Mental Health Outreach 2022 Description of the Priority: Mental health outreach and treatment were identified as top needs from the CHNA. This includes mental health crisis services and community awareness of available resources, mental health outpatient services capacity, behavioral health outpatient services for children, mental health inpatient bed capacity, mental health and substance use disorder transition care for inmates being released from jail, and mental health stigma reduction. There is a growing need in Orange, Osceola, and Seminole County to increase the available resources addressing mental health needs. 2023 Update: Goal 1.1: Expand access to mental health services for community members by partnering with faith and community partners. Objective 1.1.1: By the end of year 1, establish a Community Resource Spot in Osceola County to ensure access within the hospital service area. This initiative and the reported outcomes are shared across all facilities in the Central Florida Division. Community Resource Spot: Definition and Function: A Community Resource Spot is a designated area within a community health framework that serves as a central hub for accessing a variety of resources and services aimed at supporting the health and well-being of community members. Community Resource Spot Purpose: The primary purpose of the Community Resource Spot is to provide easily accessible, comprehensive support to individuals and families, addressing a wide range of needs such as health care, social services, education, and community engagement. Vicmael Arroyo, Chaplain, advised he has made good progress with Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in Osceola County, and they have begun working on logistics for the new Community Resource Center (CRS). They are currently focusing efforts on all the necessary training and resources and have a tentative ETA to be ready to launch by the end of this year. Objective 1.2: By the end of year 3, increase the mental health programming available to residents in Orange, Osceola, and Seminole county through the Community Resource Spots. This initiative and the reported outcomes are shared across all facilities in the Central Florida Division. Vicmael Arroyo, Chaplain, advised he has made good progress with Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in Osceola County, and they have begun working on logistics for the new Community Resource Center (CRS).

Objective 1.3: By the end of year 3, increase percentage of funding provided to partners who actively support mental health outreach and treatment by 25%. This initiative and the reported outcomes are shared across all facilities in the Central Florida Division. The RFP grant cycle is in its final stage to select the new grant partners with a focus on mental health. Objective 1.4: Increase the number of area mental health nonprofit organizations trained on the Whole Health Hub and thus added to the Whole Health Hub's (WHH) Trusted Network. The Whole Health Hub is a free website that allows anyone to search and connect to a wide variety of social services based on their location. By the end of year 3, we will increase the number of claimed profiles to 30 from a baseline of 19. This initiative and the reported outcomes are shared across all facilities in the Central Florida Division. No progress has been made on this objective. Objective 1.5: By the end of year 3, increase the closed loop referrals in the Whole Health Hub community resource network for mental health services and preventative programming in Whole Health Hub to 25% from baseline of 13%. This initiative and the reported outcomes are shared across all facilities in the Central Florida Division. No progress has been made on this objective. **see continuation of footnote

Group A-Facility 1 -- AdventHealth East OrlandoDescription of CHNA Significant Needs Continued Priority 2: Social Determinants of Health - Workforce Development 2022 Description of the Priority: According to the CDC, social determinants of health (SDOH) are the conditions in the places where people live, learn, work, and play that affect a wide range of health risks and outcomes. Social determinants of health are increasingly seen as the largest contributing factor to health inequities in communities throughout the country. Based on the significance of need and available resources, the Hospitals will address social determinants of health with a focus on workforce as the Hospital believes that initially focusing on community workforce development will reduce housing burden and address other priorities identified, such as increasing access to care and mental health. 2023 Update: Goal 2.1: Increase support for career training and education programs. Objective 2.1.1: By the end of year 3, increase percentage of funding provided to partners who actively support community workforce training and education opportunities by 25%. This initiative and the reported outcomes are shared across all facilities in the Central Florida Division. The 2024 3C social determinant of health priority will be Workforce Development. More updates will come in 2024. The Collaborative Community Council (3C), a subcommittee of the AdventHealth Orlando Board of Directors, funds projects identified in the Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). Managed by AdventHealth Orlando, we partner with community organizations to create impactful solutions that enhance community health and reduce preventable medical costs. Our focus includes addressing the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) to improve overall quality and longevity of life. Objective 2.1.2: Increase the number of area workforce development non-profit organizations trained on the Whole Health Hub and thus added to the Whole Health Hub's Trusted Network. The Whole Health Hub is a free website that allows anyone to search and connect to a wide variety of social services based on their location. By the end of year 3, we will increase the number of claimed profiles to 12 from a baseline of 5. This initiative and the reported outcomes are shared across all facilities in the Central Florida Division. No progress has been made on this objective. Priorities Not Addressed by the Hospital:The Community Health Needs Assessment identified multiple health needs through the collection of primary and secondary data. After reviewing the data, the Hospital and community stakeholders conducted a prioritization process. Listed below are the priorities not addressed and the reason why they were not selected to be addressed. 1. Health Care Access and Quality: This need was not chosen as a priority because the Hospital is already collaborating with several partners in the community and has launched several initiatives designed to address Health Care Access and Quality.

Group A-Facility 2 -- AdventHealth Sebring & Lake PlacidDescription of CHNA Significant NeedsAdventist Health System/Sunbelt, Inc. d/b/a AdventHealth Lake Placid will be referred to in this document as AdventHealth Lake Placid or "the Hospital". The Hospital is a wholly owned subsidiary of Adventist Health System Sunbelt Healthcare Corporation (AHSSHC). AHSSHC is the 501(c)(3) parent organization of a hospital and healthcare system known as AdventHealth. This is the first-year update for the Hospital's 2023-2025 Community Health Plan/Implementation Strategy. The Hospital developed this plan and posted it in May 2023 as part of its 2022 Community Health Needs Assessment process. For the development of both the Community Health Needs Assessment and the Community Health Plan/Implementation Strategy, AdventHealth Lake Placid worked to define and address the needs of low-income, minority and underserved populations in its service area. The Community Health Needs Assessment used primary data interviews and surveys; secondary data from local, regional, and national health-related sources; and Hospital prevalence data to help the Hospital determine the health needs of the community it serves. Once the data was gathered, the health issues identified in the community health needs assessment were prioritized by community and Hospital stakeholders, who then selected key priorities for the Hospital to address in its Community Health Plan. The first-year progress on the Community Health Plan is noted below. The narrative describes the priorities identified in 2022 and gives an update on the strategies addressing those prioritized needs. There is also a description of the identified needs that the Hospital did not prioritize to address. The Hospital's chosen priorities are listed below.1. Access to Healthy Foods (and Diabetes Prevention) 2. Access to Quality Health Care3. Behavioral Health (Mental Health & Substance Misuse)Priority 1: Access to Healthy Foods (and Diabetes Prevention) 2022 Description of the Priority: In Highlands County, one-third of residents live in an area where there is low access to a grocery store, which can make having a healthy, nutrient-dense diet more challenging. Also, almost a fifth (17.9%) of community survey respondents shared they were worried that they would run out of food before they had money to buy more. Respondents also expressed concern about increasing food prices and the lack of healthy food options in local neighborhoods. During the prioritization process, the decision was made to address diabetes through the access to healthy foods priority. An individual's quality of life when living with diabetes is heavily influenced by how well they can manage their blood sugar and eating well is key to blood sugar management. According to secondary data, diabetes in the Medicare population in Highlands County is at 30%, which is slightly higher than the state (27.8%) and the US (27%). 2023 Update: Goal 1.1: Increase access to nutritious foods, resources, and nutrition education to help promote diabetes prevention and healthy living. Objective 1.1.1: By December 31, 2025, increase the percentage of adults in the AdventHealth Food is Health program who report redeeming at least five produce vouchers to access nutritious foods for their families from a baseline of 57% to 68% (Division-wide). This initiative and the reported outcomes are shared across multiple facilities in the West Florida Division. The AdventHealth Food is Health program provides series-based nutrition education and culturally appropriate, nutritious foods to participants in low income/low access areas in the Hospital's community. The program involves collaborations from a variety of community partners, including subject matter experts providing education, mobile produce vendors, and sites in the community where classes are held. AdventHealth sponsors the cost of produce for participants and assists with coordinating classes. Team members managing this program experienced challenges accurately calculating the percent of program attendees redeeming at least five produce vouchers. This was due to limited attendance data being tracked and shared by educational partners. Instead, the Hospital will track and report the pounds of produce distributed to program attendees. In 2023, a total of 44,387 lbs. of produce have been distributed to community members throughout the West Florida Division. Community partners in the Hospital's area include Feeding Tampa Bay, an organization that improves access to healthy foods for low-income/low-access populations. Objective 1.1.2: By December 31, 2025, increase the number of participants in Hospital-sponsored diabetes prevention and wellness programs from a baseline of 68 participants to 235 participants. The outcomes below are specific to the reporting Hospital. Although AdventHealth Lake Placid did not sponsor a diabetes prevention and wellness program in 2023 due to staff availability, discussions will continue into 2024 on new program proposals. Program plans include Pre-diabetes Nutrition/Diabetes Prevention, Gestational Diabetes, Diabetes Support Group, Lifestyle & Longevity Series, and other classes of interest to the community. In 2023, AdventHealth Lake Placid supported local Tobacco Cessation classes hosted by Central Florida Area Health Education Center (AHEC). Community partners include Department of Health Highlands County, offering Diabetes Self-Management Education classes; Senior Connection Center, offering chronic disease and diabetes programs; and various faith community locations. **see continuation of footnote

Group A-Facility 2 -- AdventHealth Sebring & Lake PlacidDescription of CHNA Significant Needs ContinuedPriority 2: Access to Quality Health Care 2022 Description of the Priority: Community members cited barriers to accessing quality health care such as cost or financial concerns, lack of trust in the providers, lack of insurance or limited coverage, inability to take time off work for appointments, lack of awareness or difficulty navigating the healthcare system and language barriers for non-English speakers when trying to sign up for insurance or complete paperwork. More than half (60%) of community survey respondents reported accessing care in the emergency department for non-emergency needs. Inadequate health insurance coverage is one of the largest barriers to health care access and the unequal distribution of coverage contributes to disparities in health. Highlands County falls within the lower 25% of counties in both the state and in the US for adults who do not have any kind of health insurance coverage. Out-of-pocket medical care costs may lead individuals to delay or forgo needed care (such as doctor visits, dental care, and medications), and medical debt is common among both insured and uninsured individuals. Highlands County also has a lower rate of primary care providers in the area compared to the state, 57 providers per 100,000 versus 73 providers per 100,000. 2023 Update: Goal 2.1: Promote the attainment and maintenance of health through health education and access to care. Objective 2.1.1: By December 31, 2025, increase the number of community members trained in Hospital-sponsored American Heart Association (AHA) Hands-Only CPR classes for adults and youth from a baseline of 573 to 4,200 people trained (Division-wide). This initiative and the reported outcomes are shared across multiple facilities in the West Florida Division. In 2023, the Hospitals supported the American Heart Association, a nonprofit organization dedicated to fighting heart disease and stroke, in training 3,257 people in hands-only CPR. AdventHealth Lake Placid contributed 11 people to this objective. The West Florida Division provided $40,000 towards CPR training for the community while the community benefit team, led by Director Kimberly Williams, coordinated classes with community partners and community members. The Hospital provided and will continue to provide Hands Only CPR kits and meeting spaces for the classes. Community partners include Highlands County schools, faith communities, and senior living centers. Objective 2.1.2: By December 31, 2025, increase the number of participants in Hospital-sponsored access to care programs from a baseline of 20 participants to 100 participants. This initiative is focused on providing support to community organizations with programs increasing access to care (ex. health screening events). The outcomes below are specific to the reporting Hospital. In 2023, AdventHealth Lake Placid had 11 participants in their access to care program, featuring Hands-Only CPR/EHAC classes. Lake Placid Middle School and AdventHealth Lake Placid Wellness Center served as meeting locations. Two and a half staff hours were provided for this objective. The Hospital will continue to search for additional support and participation for their Access to Care programs. Community partners include Department of Health Highlands County, offering health care services to low-income/low access individuals; senior living centers, faith communities; and Highlands County schools. Priority 3: Behavioral Health (Mental Health and Substance Misuse) 2022 Description of the Priority: In Highlands County, 27% of community survey respondents reported having been diagnosed with a depressive disorder or anxiety disorder. In Highlands County the age-adjusted death rate due to suicide is 25.2 per 100,000 which is twice that of the state (13.1 per 100,000) and the US (13.5 per 100,000). More than ten percent (12.1%) of community survey respondents were unable to access mental health resources when needed in the last 12 months. The top reasons cited were inability to pay for care, to schedule an appointment when needed and to take time off work for appointments. Substance misuse also emerged as a top concern, reflected in both primary and secondary data. Teen vaping was cited as the highest area of concern for tobacco use in the county from primary data. Secondary data showed the rate of drug and opioid-involved deaths as 35.4 per 100,000 in Highlands County, higher than both the state (26.7 per 100,000) and the nation (23 per 100,000). 2023 Update: Goal 3.1: Reduce the impact of mental, emotional, and behavioral health disorders. Objective 3.1.1: By December 31, 2025, increase the number of participants who attend Hospital-sponsored Mental Health First Aid certification classes from a baseline of 258 participants to 700 participants (Division-wide). Mental Health First Aid teaches individuals how to help someone who may be experiencing a mental health or substance use challenge. The training helps individuals identify, understand, and respond to signs of addictions and mental illnesses. This initiative and the reported outcomes are shared across multiple facilities in the West Florida Division. The Hospitals contracted with Safe and Sound Hillsborough to teach Mental Health First Aid classes in the community. Safe and Sound Hillsborough is a collaborative of community and professional stakeholders transforming the way local policy makers address violence in the community. The goal is to shift policy from a public safety to a public health model and develop a comprehensive prevention and intervention approach. In 2023, a total of 134 people were trained with most classes offered virtually. Of all Mental Health First Aid participants surveyed, 89% indicated they felt confident or strongly confident in having a supportive conversation with anyone about a mental health or substance use challenge after completing the class. The Hospitals cover class enrollment fees and meal expenses. The Hospital will collaborate with community partners to continue classes and will work towards hosting a Mental Health First Aid class at their facility. The West Florida Division community benefit team, led by Director Kimberly Williams, coordinated classes between community organizations and community members. The Hospital marketing and spiritual teams will promote the classes to the community. Community partners include Safe & Sound Hillsborough, providing free Mental Health First Aid classes; Heartland Core Wellness, providing mental health advocacy, substance abuse prevention education, and acting as a host location for Mental Health First Aid; and various faith communities.**see continuation of footnote

Group A-Facility 2 -- AdventHealth Sebring & Lake PlacidDescription of CHNA Significant Needs ContinuedObjective 3.1.2: By December 31, 2025, increase the number of participants in Hospital-sponsored behavioral health education programs from a baseline of 40 participants to 140 participants. The outcomes below are specific to the reporting Hospital. In 2023, AdventHealth Lake Placid hosted participants in their behavioral health education program with Central Florida Area Health Education Center (AHEC). Using internal referral systems CARE 360 and Whole Health Hub, AdventHealth Sebring, AdventHealth Lake Placid and AdventHealth Wauchula collectively referred 12 patients to Central Florida Area Health Education Center (AHEC) in 2023 for tobacco cessation programs. Community partners include Safe and Sound, offering Mental Health First Aid classes; Central Florida Area Health Education Center (AHEC), offering Tobacco Cessation programs; Heartland Core Wellness, providing mental health advocacy and substance abuse prevention education to the community; and various faith communities. Priorities Not Addressed by the Hospital: The Community Health Needs Assessment identified multiple health needs through the collection of primary and secondary data. After reviewing the data, the Hospital and community stakeholders conducted a prioritization process. Listed below are the priorities not addressed and the reason why they were not selected to be addressed.1. Economy: While a strong economy is important in the overall health needs of the community, the CHNAC did not perceive this priority area as one that could be easily addressed within the three-year CHP cycle. It was voted the lowest in the ability to impact category in the prioritization meeting. Therefore, the Hospital will not work to address this priority area in the upcoming CHP.2. Older Adult Health: Older Adult Health ranked seventh among the other topic areas in the secondary data analysis with a score of 1.97 but was ultimately not selected as one of the top three priority areas to address in the next three-year plan. Participants in the prioritization selection meeting felt the top three priority areas chosen were significant and easier to address with the resources available and therefore, the Hospital will not be addressing Older Adult Health directly in the upcoming CHP.3. Prevention and Safety: Prevention and Safety ranked eighth out of nine total significant health needs identified from both primary and secondary data sources and was not voted as a top priority to address by the CHNAC in the upcoming three-year Community Health Plan.4. Children's Health: Children's health is of utmost importance, but the Collaborative decided that instead of focusing on it as a stand-alone priority area, instead children would be a target population group to focus on among all the priority areas.**see continuation of footnote

Group A-Facility 2 -- AdventHealth Sebring & Lake PlacidDescription of CHNA Significant NeedsAdventist Health System/Sunbelt, Inc. dba AdventHealth Sebring, will be referred to in this document as AdventHealth Sebring or "The Hospital". The Hospital is a wholly owned subsidiary of Adventist Health System Sunbelt Healthcare Corporation (AHSSHC). AHSSHC is the 501(c)(3) parent organization of a hospital and healthcare system known as AdventHealth. This is the first-year update for the Hospital's 2023 - 2025 Community Health Plan/Implementation Strategy. The Hospital developed this plan and posted it in May 2023 as part of its 2022 Community Health Needs Assessment process. For the development of both the Community Health Needs Assessment and the Community Health Plan/Implementation Strategy, AdventHealth Sebring worked to define and address the needs of low-income, minority and underserved populations in its service area. The Community Health Needs Assessment used primary data interviews and surveys; secondary data from local, regional, and national health-related sources; and Hospital prevalence data to help the Hospital determine the health needs of the community it serves. Once the data was gathered, the health issues identified in the community health needs assessment were prioritized by community and Hospital stakeholders, who then selected key priorities for the Hospital to address in its Community Health Plan. The first-year progress on the Community Health Plan is noted below. The narrative describes the priorities identified in 2022 and gives an update on the strategies addressing those prioritized needs. There is also a description of the identified needs that the Hospital did not prioritize to address. The Hospital's chosen priorities are listed below.1. Access to Healthy Foods (and Diabetes Prevention) 2. Access to Quality Health Care3. Behavioral Health (Mental Health & Substance Misuse) Priority 1: Access to Healthy Foods (and Diabetes Prevention) 2022 Description of the Priority: In Highlands County, one-third of residents live in an area where there is low access to a grocery store, which can make having a healthy, nutrient-dense diet more challenging. Also, almost a fifth (17.9%) of community survey respondents shared they were worried that they would run out of food before they had money to buy more. Respondents also expressed concern about increasing food prices and the lack of healthy food options in local neighborhoods. During the prioritization process, the decision was made to address diabetes through the access to healthy foods priority. An individual's quality of life when living with diabetes is heavily influenced by how well they can manage their blood sugar and eating well is key to blood sugar management. According to secondary data, diabetes in the Medicare population in Highlands County is at 30%, which is slightly higher than the state (27.8%) and the US (27%). 2023 Update: Goal 1.1: Increase access to nutritious foods, resources, and nutrition education to help promote diabetes prevention and healthy living. Objective 1.1.1: By December 31, 2025, increase the percentage of adults in the AdventHealth Food is Health program who report redeeming at least five produce vouchers to access nutritious foods for their families from a baseline of 57% to 68% (Division-wide). This initiative and the reported outcomes are shared across multiple facilities in the West Florida Division. The AdventHealth Food is Health program provides series-based nutrition education and culturally appropriate, nutritious foods to participants in low income/low access areas in the Hospital's community. The program involves collaborations from a variety of community partners, including subject matter experts providing education, mobile produce vendors, and sites in the community where classes are held. AdventHealth sponsors the cost of produce for participants and assists with coordinating classes. Team members managing this program experienced challenges accurately calculating the percent of program attendees redeeming at least five produce vouchers. This was due to limited attendance data being tracked and shared by educational partners. Instead, the Hospital will track and report the pounds of produce distributed to program attendees. In 2023, a total of 44,387 lbs. of produce have been distributed to community members throughout the West Florida Division. AdventHealth Sebring supported one Food is Health nutrition education class with 17 participants. AdventHealth Sebring sponsored the cost of produce ($2,700) for participants. Community partners include Feeding Tampa Bay, an organization that improves access to healthy foods for low-income/low-access populations and provides produce and health education; Burgin Farms, a local farm providing fresh food in underserved parts of the community, as the primary produce vendor; and Hands for Homeless, a nonprofit organization that helps the homeless and low-income population of the community have access to healthy food, hygiene, and financial assistance. Objective 1.1.2: By December 31, 2025, increase the number of participants in Hospital-sponsored diabetes prevention and wellness programs from a baseline of 68 participants to 235 participants. The outcomes below are specific to the reporting Hospital. In 2023, AdventHealth Sebring had 273 community members that participated in their diabetes prevention and wellness program. Additional programs provided to the community included Diabetes Support Groups, Pre-diabetes Nutrition classes, Gestational Diabetes Classes, and a plant-based cooking and a nutrition lecture series called the Lifestyle & Longevity Series. The Hospital provided $4,089.30 in 2023 to the various sponsored programs and provided 172 staff hours. AdventHealth Sebring donated $2,000 to Cutting Edge Ministries, Inc, a food pantry in Wauchula. Community partners include Feeding Tampa Bay, providing healthy food and health education for low-income/low-access populations; Burgin Farms, providing fresh food in underserved parts of the community; Highlands County Children's Museum, providing free health education to young children; and various local physicians providing free health education to the community.**see continuation of footnote

The outcomes below are specific to the reporting Hospital. In 2023, AdventHealth Sebring had 60 participants in their access to care programs. The Hospital will continue to utilize their internal referral systems, Care 360, and Whole Health Hub, to refer patients to community partners for follow-up and specialist care. Meeting room locations and in-kind medical supplies, valued at $5,650 plus 10 staff hours were provided towards this initiative. Community partners include Neuro Challenge Foundation for Parkinsons, a nonprofit organization improving access to care for patients with Parkinson's Disease through free health education and professional care advising, and various senior living centers and faith communities.

Access to Healthy Foods (and Diabetes Prevention)2. Access to Quality Health Care3. Behavioral Health (Mental Health & Substance Misuse) Priority 1: Access to Healthy Foods 2022 Description of the Priority: Access to quality healthy food was a top need prioritized during the assessment. In Hardee County, one-quarter of residents live in an area where there is low access to a grocery store, which can make having a healthy, nutrient-dense diet more challenging. Almost one-fifth (20%) of community survey respondents reported that within the past 12 months, the food they had purchased from the store did not last and they did not have the money to purchase more. Also, more than a quarter (28.6%) of community survey respondents shared they were worried that they would run out of food before they had money to buy more. Respondents also expressed concern about increasing food prices. 2023 Update: Goal 1.1: Increase access to nutritious foods, resources, and nutrition education to help promote diabetes prevention and healthy living. Objective 1.1.1: By December 31, 2025, increase the percentage of adults in the AdventHealth Food is Health program who report redeeming at least five produce vouchers to access nutritious foods for their families from a baseline of 57% to 68% (Division-wide).

AdventHealth sponsors the cost of produce for participants and assists with coordinating classes. Team members managing this program experienced challenges accurately calculating the percent of program attendees redeeming at least five produce vouchers. This was due to limited attendance data being tracked and shared by educational partners. Instead, the Hospital will track and report the pounds of produce distributed to program attendees. AdventHealth Wauchula contributed 623 pounds of produce towards this objective while the West Florida Division has collectively distributed 44,387 pounds of produce at Food is Health classes in the community. Community partners include Feeding Tampa Bay, an organization that improves access to healthy foods for low-income/low-access populations and provides health education classes; Burgin Farms, a local farm providing fresh food in underserved parts of the community and the produce vendor supplying fruits and vegetables; and various organizations to host classes at their respective organizations, including Department of Health - Hardee County, providing health care services to low-income, low-access individuals; Valencia Gardens, a low-income housing complex; and various faith community locations. Objective 1.1.2: By December 31, 2025, increase the number of participants in Hospital-sponsored diabetes prevention and wellness programs from a baseline of 68 participants to 235 participants. The outcomes below are specific to the reporting Hospital. In 2023, AdventHealth Wauchula supported two Food is Health classes with a total of 25 participants by donating supplies worth $1,937.91. Community partners include the Department of Health - Hardee County providing health care services to low-income, low-access individuals; and Chatham Pointe, a low-access senior living community center, who both hosted a Food is Health program, as well as Burgin Farms, a local farm providing fresh food in underserved parts of the community; and Feeding Tampa Bay, an organization that improves access to healthy foods for low-income/low-access populations. The Hospital also supported expenses and provided staff hours towards the Wauchula Community Garden Committee. Staff spent time educating the garden committee on proper gardening techniques. This garden was a community effort, spearheaded by the Hardee County Health Department. It is free and open to the community in a low-income, low-access area. **see continuation of footnote

Group A-Facility 3 -- AdventHealth WauchulaDescription of CHNA Significant Needs ContinuedPriority 2: Access to Quality Health Care 2022 Description of the Priority: More than one-third (39%) of community survey respondents reported accessing care in the emergency department for non-emergency needs. While 14.5% of respondents shared that they needed medical care in the last 12 months, but they did not receive it. Some of the top barriers that prevented care included cost, inability to schedule an appointment, inability to take time off from work, transportation barriers, lack of health insurance coverage, lack of trust in providers and an inability to find a doctor who accepts certain types of health insurance. Inadequate health insurance coverage is one of the largest barriers to health care access and the unequal distribution of coverage contributes to disparities in health. Out-of-pocket medical care costs may lead individuals to delay or forgo needed care (such as doctor visits, dental care, and medications), and medical debt is common among both insured and uninsured individuals. Hardee County falls within the lower 25% of counties in both the state of Florida and in the US for adults who do not have any kind of health insurance coverage. Hardee County also has a lower rate of primary care providers (11 per 100,000) compared to the state, 57 per 100,000. 2023 Update: Goal 2.1: Promote the attainment and maintenance of health through health education and access to care. Objective 2.1.1: By December 31, 2025, increase the number of community members trained in Hospital-sponsored American Heart Association (AHA) Hands-Only CPR classes for adults and youth from a baseline of 573 to 4,200 people trained (Division-wide). This initiative and the reported outcomes are shared across multiple facilities in the West Florida Division. In 2023, the Hospitals supported the American Heart Association, a nonprofit organization dedicated to fighting heart disease and stroke, in training 3,257 people in hands-only CPR. AdventHealth Wauchula contributed 28 people to this objective by Hospital staff independently facilitating Hands-Only CPR classes at the AdventHealth Wauchula Wellness Center and Hardee County Junior High School. The West Florida Division provided $40,000 towards CPR training for the community while the community benefit team, led by Director Kimberly Williams, coordinated classes with community partners and community members. The Hospital will continue to provide Hands Only CPR kits. Community partners include Hardee County schools, faith communities, senior living centers, and low-income housing complexes. Objective 2.1.2: By December 31, 2025, increase the number of participants in Hospital-sponsored access to care programs from a baseline of 20 participants to 100 participants. This initiative is focused on providing support to community organizations with programs increasing access to care (ex. health screening events). The outcomes below are specific to the reporting Hospital. In 2023, AdventHealth Wauchula had 48 participants in their access to care programs, which included 28 participants in Community CPR classes, and 20 in Community Health Screenings at Valencia Gardens (a low-income housing complex). Staff contributed 17 hours to the programs. Community partners include Department of Health - Hardee County, providing health care services to low-income, low-access individuals. Priority 3: Behavioral Health (Mental Health and Substance Misuse) 2022 Description of the Priority: In Hardee County, secondary data showed the age-adjusted death rate due to suicide is 19.9 per 100,000. This is almost one and a half times the state (13.1/100,000) and the US (13.5/100,000). The assessment also found more than ten percent (11.5%) of community survey respondents were unable to access mental health resources when needed in the last 12 months. The top reasons cited were inability to pay for care, stigma associated with mental health issues and lack of knowledge on how to access a mental health doctor or counselor. Substance misuse also emerged as a top concern, reflected in both primary and secondary data sources. Binge drinking in teens was cited as a specific concern in the primary data. Secondary data showed just over 12% of teens reported binge drinking, higher than the state rate of 9.2%. The assessment also found in secondary data a higher percentage of teens who have used methamphetamines in Hardee County (2.6%), than the state rate (0.8%). **see continuation of footnote

Group A-Facility 3 -- AdventHealth WauchulaDescription of CHNA Significant Needs Continued2023 Update: Goal 3.1: Reduce the impact of mental, emotional, and behavioral health disorders. Objective 3.1.1: By December 31, 2025, increase the number of participants who attend Hospital-sponsored Mental Health First Aid certification classes from a baseline of 258 participants to 700 participants (Division-wide). Mental Health First Aid teaches individuals how to help someone who may be experiencing a mental health or substance use challenge. The training helps individuals identify, understand, and respond to signs of addictions and mental illnesses. This initiative and the reported outcomes are shared across multiple facilities in the West Florida Division. The Hospitals contracted with Safe and Sound Hillsborough to teach Mental Health First Aid classes in the community. Safe and Sound Hillsborough is a collaborative of community and professional stakeholders transforming the way local policy makers address violence in the community. The goal is to shift policy from a public safety to a public health model and develop a comprehensive prevention and intervention approach. In 2023, a total of 134 people were trained with most classes offered virtually. Of all Mental Health First Aid participants surveyed, 89% indicated they felt confident or strongly confident in having a supportive conversation with anyone about a mental health or substance use challenge after completing the class. Objective 3.1.2: By December 31, 2025, increase the number of participants in Hospital-sponsored behavioral health education programs from a baseline of 40 participants to 140 participants. The outcomes below are specific to the reporting Hospital. In 2023, AdventHealth Wauchula supported a Tobacco Cessation class with eight participants and donated the meeting space worth $800. Using internal referral systems CARE 360 and Whole Health Hub, AdventHealth Sebring, AdventHealth Lake Placid and AdventHealth Wauchula collectively referred 12 patients to Central Florida Area Health Education Center (AHEC) in 2023 for tobacco cessation programs. Community partners include Safe and Sound for Mental Health First Aid; Central Florida Area Health Education Center (AHEC) for Tobacco Cessation; Department of Health - Hardee County for their substance use and prevention symposium; and Heartland Core Wellness, providing mental health advocacy and substance abuse prevention education to the community. Priorities Not Addressed by the Hospital:The Community Health Needs Assessment identified multiple health needs through the collection of primary and secondary data. After reviewing the data, the Hospital and community stakeholders conducted a prioritization process. Listed below are the priorities not addressed and the reason why they were not selected to be addressed.1. Children's Health: Children's health is of utmost importance, but the Collaborative decided that instead of focusing on it as a stand-alone priority area, children would be a target population group to focus on among all the priority areas.2. Economy: While a strong economy is important in the overall health needs of the community, the CHNAC did not perceive this priority area as one that could be easily addressed within the three-year CHP cycle. It was voted the lowest in the ability to impact category in the prioritization meeting. Therefore, the Hospital will not work to address this priority area in the upcoming CHP.3. Older Adult Health: Participants in the prioritization selection meeting felt the top three priority areas chosen were significant and easier to address with the resources available and therefore, the Hospital will not be addressing Older Adult Health directly in the upcoming CHP.4. Diabetes: Diabetes was not selected as a priority by the Hospital as there are other community partners who are addressing this need. The Hospital will support these efforts where possible and hopes to address diabetes indirectly through the access to healthy foods priority.

Group A-Facility 1 -- AdventHealth Winter GardenDescription of CHNA Significant NeedsAdventist Health System/Sunbelt, Inc. dba AdventHealth Winter Garden will be referred to in this document as AdventHealth Winter Garden or "The Hospital". The Hospital is a wholly owned subsidiary of Adventist Health System Sunbelt Healthcare Corporation (AHSSHC). AHSSHC is the 501(c)(3) parent organization of a hospital and healthcare system known as AdventHealth. This is the first-year update for the Hospital's 2023 - 2025 Community Health Plan/Implementation Strategy. The Hospital developed this plan and posted it in May 2023 as part of its 2022 Community Health Needs Assessment process. For the development of both the Community Health Needs Assessment and the Community Health Plan/Implementation Strategy, AdventHealth Winter Garden worked to define and address the needs of low-income, minority and underserved populations in its service area. The Community Health Needs Assessment used primary data interviews and surveys; secondary data from local, regional, and national health-related sources; and Hospital prevalence data to help the Hospital determine the health needs of the community it serves. Once the data was gathered, the health issues identified in the community health needs assessment were prioritized by community and Hospital stakeholders, who then selected key priorities for the Hospital to address in its Community Health Plan. The first-year progress on the Community Health Plan is noted below. The narrative describes the priorities identified in 2022 and gives an update on the strategies addressing those prioritized needs. There is also a description of the identified needs that the Hospital did not prioritize to address. The Hospital's chosen priorities are listed below:1. Enhance Mental Health Outreach2. Social Determinant of Health: Workforce Development Priority 1: Enhance Mental Health Outreach 2022 Description of the Priority: Mental health outreach and treatment were identified as top needs from the CHNA. This includes mental health crisis services and community awareness of available resources, mental health outpatient services capacity, behavioral health outpatient services for children, mental health inpatient bed capacity, mental health and substance use disorder transition care for inmates being released from jail, and mental health stigma reduction. There is a growing need in Orange, Osceola, and Seminole County to increase the available resources addressing mental health needs. 2023 Update: Goal 1.1: Expand access to mental health services for community members by partnering with faith and community partners. Objective 1.1.1: By the end of year 1, establish a Community Resource Spot in Osceola County to ensure access within the hospital service area. This initiative and the reported outcomes are shared across all facilities in the Central Florida Division. Community Resource Spot: Definition and Function: A Community Resource Spot is a designated area within a community health framework that serves as a central hub for accessing a variety of resources and services aimed at supporting the health and well-being of community members. Community Resource Spot Purpose: The primary purpose of the Community Resource Spot is to provide easily accessible, comprehensive support to individuals and families, addressing a wide range of needs such as health care, social services, education, and community engagement. Vicmael Arroyo, Chaplain, advised he has made good progress with Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in Osceola County, and they have begun working on logistics for the new Community Resource Center (CRS). They are currently focusing efforts on all the necessary training and resources and have a tentative ETA to be ready to launch by the end of this year. Objective 1.2: By the end of year 3, increase the mental health programming available to residents in Orange, Osceola, and Seminole county through the Community Resource Spots. This initiative and the reported outcomes are shared across all facilities in the Central Florida Division.

Group A-Facility 1 -- AdventHealth Winter GardenDescription of CHNA Significant Needs ContinuedPriority 2: Social Determinants of Health - Workforce Development 2022 Description of the Priority: According to the CDC, social determinants of health (SDOH) are the conditions in the places where people live, learn, work, and play that affect a wide range of health risks and outcomes. Social determinants of health are increasingly seen as the largest contributing factor to health inequities in communities throughout the country. Based on the significance of need and available resources, the Hospitals will address social determinants of health with a focus on workforce as the Hospital believes that initially focusing on community workforce development will reduce housing burden and address other priorities identified, such as increasing access to care and mental health. 2023 Update: Goal 2.1: Increase support for career training and education programs. Objective 2.1.1: By the end of year 3, increase percentage of funding provided to partners who actively support community workforce training and education opportunities by 25%. This initiative and the reported outcomes are shared across all facilities in the Central Florida Division. The 2024 3C social determinant of health priority will be Workforce Development. More updates will come in 2024. The Collaborative Community Council (3C), a subcommittee of the AdventHealth Orlando Board of Directors, funds projects identified in the Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). Managed by AdventHealth Orlando, we partner with community organizations to create impactful solutions that enhance community health and reduce preventable medical costs. Our focus includes addressing the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) to improve overall quality and longevity of life. Objective 2.1.2: Increase the number of area workforce development non-profit organizations trained on the Whole Health Hub and thus added to the Whole Health Hub's Trusted Network. The Whole Health Hub is a free website that allows anyone to search and connect to a wide variety of social services based on their location. By the end of year 3, we will increase the number of claimed profiles to 12 from a baseline of 5. This initiative and the reported outcomes are shared across all facilities in the Central Florida Division. No progress has been made on this objective. Priorities Not Addressed by the Hospital:The Community Health Needs Assessment identified multiple health needs through the collection of primary and secondary data. After reviewing the data, the Hospital and community stakeholders conducted a prioritization process. Listed below are the priorities not addressed and the reason why they were not selected to be addressed. 1. Health Care Access and Quality: This need was not chosen as a priority because the Hospital is already collaborating with several partners in the community and has launched several initiatives designed to address Health Care Access and Quality.
