Explanation

Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.

Endowment Funds are designated for purposes that align within this organization's exempt purpose.

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

Income TaxesNorthern Light Health, its hospitals, and certain other affiliates have been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be tax-exempt charitable organizations as described in Section 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and, accordingly, are exempt from federal income taxes on related income pursuant to Section 501(a) of the Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements for these organizations.Tax-exempt charitable organizations could be required to record an obligation for income taxes as the result of a tax position they have historically taken on various tax exposure items including unrelated business income or tax status. Under guidance issued by FASB, assets and liabilities are established for uncertain tax positions taken or positions expected to be taken in income tax returns when such positions are judged to not meet the "more-likely-than-not" threshold, based upon the technical merits of the position. Estimated interest and penalties, if applicable, related to uncertain tax positions are included as a component of income tax expense. The Northern Light Health has evaluated its tax position taken or expected to be taken on income tax returns and concluded the impact to be not material.Certain of the Northern Light Health's affiliates are taxable entities. Deferred taxes related to these entities are based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse. The deferred tax assets and liabilities for these entities are not material.

Form and Line Reference	Explanation
Facility: NL Eastern Maine Medical Cente - Part V, Section B, Line 5	The Maine Shared CHNA research team conducted a statewide qualitative assessment among stakeholders to identify and prioritize significant health issues in communities across the state. The assessment, coordinated with the Maine CDC, engaged public health expertise throughout the process. Community outreach was conducted between September 2021 and January 2022. All forms of engagement included public forums, community sponsored events, and oral surveys. The purpose of these outreach efforts was to gather feedback on data and to identify health priorities, community assets, and gaps in resources to be used in health improvement planning. Virtual community forums with residents and service providers were held in the county in partnership with the Maine CDC to solicit input from individuals representing populations with health disparities including medically underserved, low-income, or minority populations. The following organizations attended the September 23, 2021, Penobscot County Shared CHNA Community Engagement Forum and provided valuable feedback on the most recent Maine Shared CHNA.Persons representing broad interests of the community who were consulted during the engagement process (the following list was extracted from the Penobscot County CHNA report, page 23: Bangor Public Health and Community Services, Center for Community Inclusion & Disability Studies, University of Maine, City of Bangor, Community Health Leadership Board, Community members, Downeast Public Health District, Eastern Maine Community College, Eastern Maine Development Corporation, Elliotsville Foundation, Inc., Health Access Network, Maine Department of Health and Human Services, Midcoast Public Health District, Millinocket Regional Hospital, Mobilize Katahdin, Millinocket Memorial Library, Northeastern Workforce Development Board, Northern Light Health, Northern Light Acadia Hospital, Northern Light Beacon Health, Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center, Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center Board of Trustees, Northern Light Home Care & Hospice, Office of Child and Family Services, Maine Department of Health and Human Services, Partners for Peace, Penobscot Community Health Care, Penobscot Valley Hospital, Penquis Public Health District, Penquis Rape Response Services, Public Health Nursing, Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention, St. Joseph Healthcare, St. Joseph Hospital, Town of Dexter, United Way of Eastern Maine.New this cycle was an expanded effort to reach those who may experience systemic disadvantages and therefore experience a greater rate of health disparities. Two types of outreach were piloted in this effort.One effort included nine community sponsored events hosted by organizations having statewide reach representing the following communities: Black or African Americans; people who are homeless or formerly homeless; older adults; people who are deaf or hard of hearing; people who define themselves or identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer and/or questioning (LGBTQ+); people who live with a disability; people with a mental health diagnosis; people with low income; and youth.Another effort included conducting oral surveys in collaboration with eight ethnic-based community organizations community health workers in order to better reach Maines immigrant population that included: 1,000 surveys were conducted in either English (32%), Somali, (24%), Arabic (23%), French (8%), Spanish (5%), Lingala (3%), and other languages including Swahili, Maay Maay, Portuguese, Oromo, Eretria, Kirundi, and Amara. When asked for their countries of origin, respondents most commonly cited the United States (212), Iraq (205), Somalia (157), The Democratic Republic of Congo (81), Djibouti (70), Kenya (30), and Mexico (29). Other countries of origin mentioned included Rwanda, Ethiopia, Angola, Syria, Guatemala, South Africa, Palestine, Puerto Rico, Morocco, Afghanistan, El Salvador, Nigeria, Canada, Burundi, Eritrea, France, Honduras, Uganda, Jamaica, Mali, Gabon, Sudan, Nicaragua, Peru, and Brazil.
Facility: NL Eastern Maine Medical Cente - Part V, Section B, Line 6a	The Maine Shared CHNA was conducted through a collaborative effort among Maines four largest health-care systems Central Maine Healthcare, Northern Light Health (legal name Eastern Maine Healthcare Systems), MaineGeneral Health, MaineHealth and the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention, an office of the Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Northern Light Health member organizations participating in the Shared CHNA included Acadia Hospital, AR Gould Hospital, Blue Hill Hospital, CA Dean Hospital, Eastern Maine Medical Center, Inland Hospital, Maine Coast Hospital, Mayo Hospital, Mercy Hospital, and Sebasticook Valley Hospital. See Line 5s response for a comprehensive list of participating organizations, including other non-Northern Light Health hospitals who were consulted during the engagement process.
Facility: NL Eastern Maine Medical Cente - Part V, Section B, Line 11	As a member of a partnering healthcare system in the Maine Shared Community Health Needs Assessment (Shared CHNA) effort, Northern Light Healths Community Health Council recognized the value, reach, and influence of aligned engagement efforts with a shared purpose. Review of the county CHNA forum priority voting revealed that mental health, social determinants of health, and substance use were among the top four priorities in almost every county CHNA forum. These three priority areas were presented and adopted by our hospitals governing board as shared priorities where Northern Light Health member organizations would engage in common strategy to achieve greater statewide effect. Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Centers community health strategy was developed to include our systemwide shared priority areas of work reflecting upon the quantitative health profile indicators and qualitative prioritization derived from the Shared CHNAs community engagement process. We also considered local readiness and capacity to address these needs in partnership with our local communities. The following provides an update on the actions taken on the three priority areas in fiscal year 2024 (FY24): Mental Health: Actions taken by Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center to address this priority in FY24: Eastern Maine Medical Center trained staff in Psychological First Aid (PFA), an evidence-informed approach to help anyonechildren, adolescents, adults, and familiesin the immediate aftermath of a traumatic experience and has proven to be effective when someone is experiencing a mental health crisis at any time. PFA shines a light on the impact of collective trauma, builds resiliency, and assists in self-care action plans by incorporating five evidence-based principles: safety, calming, connectedness, self and community reliance, and hope.Certified Eastern Maine Medical Center staff then engaged schools and/or youth serving organizations to educate and empower others to respond to mental and behavioral health needs of children using the PFA training model. Attendees received training in eight core elements; engagement, safety, stabilization, information gathering, practical assistance, connection to social supports, information on coping, and connecting with collaborative services. Eastern Maine Medical Center conducted 3 PFA training sessions with 40 individuals trained. Northern Light Healths systemwide collective impact of our shared objective through year 1 (2023) and year 2 (2024) of the three-year cycle, has resulted in 80 training sessions with 1,606 individuals trained.Social Determinants of HealthActions taken by Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center to address this priority in FY24: FindHelp.org is the nations leading social care network, making it easier to connect patients and their families with free or reduced-cost programs from local partners and national support services with dignity and ease, and is one component of Northern Light Healths response to need in the communities we serve. Northern Light findhelp will allow users to directly communicate with referral partners to coordinate care of our patients.Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center engaged in meaningful, trusted community partnerships to reach priority populations with equitable access to community resources and social supports and connect individuals with community resources they need to improve their health and well-being through the findhelp.org platform. Eastern Maine Medical Center participated on a monthly systemwide workgroup focused on community engagement efforts to educate community partners on the availability and uses of findhelp.org. Community partners were provided with assistance in adding their program information to the platform directory and with activating the ability to receive referrals or requests for information through the platform. Eastern Maine Medical Center engaged 5 community partners who added 10 programs to the findhelp directory. Northern Light Healths systemwide collective impact of our shared objective to increase community partner engagement with FindHelp.org resulted in 69 programs added to findhelp and 148 programs that increased engagement with findhelp.Substance UseActions taken by Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center to address this priority in FY24: In collaboration with other Northern Light Health member organizations and community-based organizations, trained Eastern Maine Medical Center staff representing pharmacy and community health departments, worked diligently to improve processes and partnerships to reduce barriers and provide equitable access to state-sponsored Naloxone (Narcan) kits for priority populations. Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center participated in the Maine Naloxone Distribution Initiative which provides state-purchased naloxone to community organizations, clinical sites, and end-users throughout the State of Maine to distribute free of charge. Through a collaboration with Bangor Public Health & Community Services, Eastern Maine Medical Center worked in the inpatient, emergency department, and community settings to provide education on the use of these naloxone kits to end-users to facilitate the reversal of private overdoses in the community. Eastern Maine Medical Center distributed 61 state-sponsored naloxone kits. Northern Light Healths systemwide collective impact of our shared objective to improve distribution and preventive access to state sponsored naloxone kits systemwide resulted in 2,560 naloxone kits distributed throughout Northern Light Healths service area. Additional information related to actions taken by Eastern Maine Medical Center on the above priorities can be found in their FY23-FY24 Progress Report to Our Community at https://northernlighthealth.org/Community-Health-Needs-Assessment/2022-Community-Health-Strategy. Eastern Maine Medical Center considered all priorities identified in the Shared CHNA, as well as other sources, through an extensive review process. Access to care was not selected as an independent focus for the community health strategy. However, the selected priority areas identified in our strategy do support and connect to increased access to care. In addition, the medical center has current ongoing initiatives that are part of annual goals for the organization as a whole.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4d	OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Mobile MammogramsDelivering care closer to home For many women in rural Maine, getting regular mammograms can be tough. They face long drives, limited transportation options, and, sometimes in Maine, you just cant get there from here. Thats why Northern Light CA Dean Hospital and Northern Light Mayo Hospital launched a mobile mammography unit, bringing high-quality breast cancer screenings directly to women who might otherwise go without.The mobile unit is one way Northern Light Health is improving access to healthcare. The most important reason for launching this mobile mammography unit is to reach women in rural communities who might otherwise not have access to their screening mammograms, explains Joann Lovell, director of Imaging at Northern Light CA Dean and Mayo Hospitals.The mobile unit has the same state-of-the-art 3D mammography technology used in Northern Light Healths hospitals and clinics. That means patients get the same exceptional care, same high-quality images, and the same experienced technologists, whether theyre at the hospital or in the mobile unit, explains Lovell.For Lorna Young, the first patient screened in the mobile unit, the convenience was great. It was very easy for me. All I had to do was walk out the back door of my office and into the mobile unit. It was just perfect, says Young, who appreciated how simple the process was and how accessible the screening was for her.The mobile mammography unit travels throughout rural communities statewide, saving patients travel time and removing the stress of securing transportation. This service, Lovell notes, is a game-changer for many patients. For women in these communities, the ability to get a mammogram without traveling long distances makes a world of difference.By sharing resources, staff, and expertise, Northern Light CA Dean and Mayo Hospitals can provide seamless care across a wider area. The collaboration has been a huge benefit to both communities. We share resources, share patients, and that ensures we provide the best care possible, says Lovell, Its not just about screenings; its about offering comprehensive care to these patients.The importance of early detection of breast cancer cannot be of overstated. Regular mammograms can identify potential issues before symptoms appear, increasing the chances of successful treatment. As Lovell put it, If we can prevent even one family from losing a loved one to breast cancer, then weve been a success.For women like Young, the mobile mammography unit offers more than just convenienceit offers peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend this to other women, she says, The convenience and all the advantages it brings to our area are invaluable. Its just an incredible resource.Northern Light Acadia HospitalAddressing Maines shortage of psychiatristsMaine has a critical shortage of psychiatrists. The number of licensed practitioners in our state has dropped from 110 in 2020 to just 50 in 2022, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. To address this urgent need, Northern Light Acadia Hospital launched a Psychiatry Residency Program, designed to grow Maines behavioral healthcare workforce, and improve access to mental health services.Supported by a $1 million grant from The Manton Foundation, the program is one of two psychiatric residencies in Maine and the only one north of Portland. After receiving 494 applications on the first day alone, Acadia Hospital leaders interviewed 95 candidates and matched four residents through the National Resident Matching Program.The smaller hospital setting at Acadia has created a close-knit community where Ive felt welcomed and supported from day one, says Karen Singh, MD, Its been wonderful to return to Maine and experience the states beauty while advancing my career.Kelly Kossen, MD adds, Living here has allowed me to spend my free time exploring farms, hiking, and visiting coastal towns. The staffs kindness has made my transition seamless. Acadias four-year program aims to train 16 residents at full capacity, with the hope that many will continue practicing in Maine. Where doctors train often determines where they stay, says Mark Lukens, president, Northern Light Acadia Hospital, This program is a vital step in addressing Maines mental health challenges.Finding Her VoiceA journey through gender-affirming voice therapyKara Libbys transition journey began in 2018, long before she met Robby Desjardins, MA, the lead speech-language pathologist at Northern Light AR Gould Hospital. She moved to Aroostook County in 2019, hoping for a fresh start and a chance to live more authentically.That fresh start and opportunity still seemed just out of reach for Libby, who struggled with a voice that didn't match how she felt on the inside and looked on the outside. My job has always been on the phone, she shares, And every time I pick up a call, I hear either someone misidentify me or, at best, affirm who I know I am. That constant uncertainty can be draining. I felt invisible, like I was living in two worlds.Libbys voice dysphoria, the discomfort with the mismatch between her voice and her gender identity, was taking its toll. It wasnt just about how others saw me; it was about how I saw myself. Every conversation, even the simplest ones, became a reminder of the gap between who I am and how the world perceived me.Her counselor at the time recommended Desjardins, who specializes in gender-affirming voice therapy. She made the appointment, unsure but hopeful that this could be the help she needed.I met Kira at a time when she was understandably uncertain about the whole process, Desjardins recalls, Its common for patients to feel a bit overwhelmed or self-conscious. The first step is always assessment how does the person perceive their voice, and where do they want it to go?The process began with a baseline recording. Libby was hesitant at first, speaking softly and with visible discomfort. I was nervous, she admits, I wasnt sure how it would work, or if I could even change my voice the way I wanted. I didnt know where to start. From there, Desjardins began to tailor a treatment plan that would address her specific needs. We start by measuring vocal pitch, loudness, and resonance, and then go from there, he explains, But its not just about the mechanics; its about understanding how the patient feels when they use their voice, and what theyre hoping to express through it. Each session involves exercises aimed at increasing vocal pitch, improving resonance, and building confidence. Some days are harder than others, but Desjardins made sure the work was always engaging. He has a way of making it fun, Desjardins laughs, We even read some kindergarten books together. It sounds silly, but he has this way of making every session feel special, like its just for me.After several months of working together, Libby noticed changes. Im not being misgendered as often now, she says, When Robby first recorded me, I wasnt confident at all. I would barely speak in public. Now, I feel so much more comfortable in my skin. For Desjardins, moments like these are what make the work meaningful. When I hear a voice sample from someone thats dramatically different from their baseline, it gives me chills, he says, Its not just about the sound its about seeing someone truly embody their authentic self. Libbys voice now reflects the woman shes always known herself to be. Its not just about changing the way I speak. Its about owning my voice, she says, smiling. And thanks to Robby, Ive learned how to do that. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Northern Light Inland HospitalA bridge to care for communitiesSome Waterville residents are visited by paramedics, as part of a collaborative effort between Northern Light Inland Hospital and the citys fire department. This vital resource is designed to improve patient care and reduce hospital readmissions. Courtney Cook, vice president of Nursing and Patient Care Services, Northern Light Inland Hospital, highlights the importance of this at home program. Waterville is lucky to have the paramedicine program as a community resource, Cook says, emphasizing Inland Hospitals pride in partnering with the program. The program offers a wide range of services to Waterville residents, including home safety checks, medication reviews, vital sign monitoring, blood draws, and wound care.

The Youth Mental Health Summit was established to provide tools, support, and the understanding necessary to better navigate the complexities of adolescent mental health.Stella Fox, a student volunteer manager and senior at Hampden Academy, says she had her own journey with mental health. Im a pretty busy person. I am someone who, if Im not busy, I try to find things to make my life busier, she laughs, describing her packed schedule.As part of that busy life, Fox struggles with the internal pressures of being a teenager, especially in the demanding world of dance. There is a lot of pressure in dance about a certain look youre supposed to have, she adds, Obviously, thats tough for anybody to hear. But when youre going through your teen years, youre facing a lot of other pressures and challenges. Fox and her fellow student manager and student at John Bapst, Ada Sinclair-Steele, are passionate about making a difference. Each year, high school students who participate in the volunteer program at the medical center work on a passion project for a cause that they choose. In 2024, the group chose youth mental health."I really didnt know that much about mental health when we started, Fox admits, But as we brainstormed and discussed different ideas, I realized how crucial it was to create a space where teens could learn how to take care of their mental health.Stacey Coventry, the director of community engagement at Eastern Maine Medical Center helped guide the students. For this passion project, one of the things we talked about was wanting to have a community forum that brought adults and peers together to openly have a dialogue about all the things that contributed to their mental health. Everything from bullying to stress in schools, social media, suicide awareness and prevention, and grief and bereavement, all the different things that affect our mental health. They wanted to have a dialogue, but also have a way to show kids that there are other ways that they can cope with these things.The summit featured a variety of activities, from art therapy and nature-based therapy to animal-assisted therapy and open panel discussions. We jumped right into adventure-based activities, because to learn about adventure-based activities through a lecture seems counterintuitive. We had them doing things like a pool noodle shuffle, which is when everybody holds a pool noodle and at the same time they have to let go of their pool noodle and grab the noodle of the person next to them without letting it hit the floor, and we let them work through some of their frustrations, explains Shane Mack McPherson, psychiatric technician and activities coordinator, Northern Light Acadia Hospital. Having summits like this is important because there are not many of them around here, especially geared toward high school students, says Sinclair-Steele, So many teens struggle with mental health challenges and this helps provide resources to seek help within our communities.Coventry was moved by the students engagement. I was hoping they would feel less alone and walk away with a new way to manage their mental health, she says, I also hoped theyd be excited to share what theyd learned with their peers and family members. The summit wasnt just about learning new coping mechanisms; it was also about breaking the stigma surrounding mental health. It was designed to create a safe, open space for teens to discuss mental health and learn effective coping strategies.As the day ended, Fox shared her thoughts. If youre willing to talk about it, you should, she said, Its about giving hope to others. Once you tell your story, other people will feel comfortable enough to tell theirs, and that will help them become more open about their struggles. Hopefully, when they do, theyll realize theyre not alone.Northern Light Maine Coast HospitalTurning pages early: New program welcomes babies with their first library cardNorthern Light Maine Coast Hospital is proud to partner with the Ellsworth Public Library by launching Babys First Library Card, an initiative promoting early literacy and a lifelong love of reading. Beginning in May 2024, every baby born at our Dixon Family Birthing Center receives a welcome package that includes an age-appropriate book and an application for a complimentary library card from the Ellsworth Public Library, regardless of residency.This program, funded in memory of Melanie Zadoran avid hospital and library volunteerhonors her dedication to community enrichment through literacy. Our team is excited to support families in fostering early reading habits with their babies, shares Sarah Joy, director of Philanthropy for Northern Light Blue Hill and Maine Coast Hospitals. This collaboration is a meaningful way to celebrate Melanies legacy and connect families with valuable resources. The community resource is about more than books. I think its undersold because everyone thinks that the library is just to take out books and its not, explains Carrie Barnes, RN, Northern Light Maine Coast Hospital. There are so many other things the library offers like playgroups and reading time for moms and their kids. Its easy as a new parent to feel isolated, and these programs help keep them connected.Sarah Lesko, Ellsworth Library director adds, Reading is one of the most important skills we have in lifelong learning, so we are thrilled to partner with Northern Light Maine Coast Hospital to welcome our newest community members.
