Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - BRONSON METHODIST HOSPITAL:. BRONSON IS ADDRESSING THE SIGNIFICANT NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN ITS 2022 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT THROUGH ITS COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPLEMENTATION PLAN (CHIP). THE BHG BOARD APPROVED THE 2023-2025 CHIP IN APRIL 2023. BRONSON RECOGNIZES THREE YEARS IS AN INSUFFICIENT PERIOD TO NOTICE VISIBLE IMPROVEMENT IN THE HEALTH OF A COMMUNITY. THE RESULTS OF THE 2022 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) CONFIRMED THIS BELIEF. THE COMMUNITIES BRONSON SERVES REMAINED CONCERNED ABOUT HEALTH NEEDS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED IN THE PREVIOUS CHNA, SPECIFICALLY, ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE/HEALTH SERVICES, FOOD INSECURITY, AND MENTAL/BEHAVIORAL HEALTH. THE 2022 CHNA ALSO BROUGHT ADDITIONAL HEALTH NEEDS THAT COMMUNITY MEMBERS FELT IMPACTED THEIR HEALTH TO THE FOREFRONT; DISCRIMINATION/RACISM, VIOLENCE AND CRIME, AND HOUSING. AS A RESULT, THE 2023-2025 COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPLEMENTATION PLAN (CHIP) CONTINUES TO FOCUS ITS EFFORTS UPSTREAM, ACKNOWLEDGING THE ROOT CAUSES OF BEHAVIORS, DEATH, AND DISEASE. THE CHIP IS BUILDING UPON THE PROGRESS OF THE 2020-2022 CHIP. THIS CHIP REMAINS A STEP FOR A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO USE COMMUNITY VOICE, DATA, AND ENGAGEMENT TO UNDERSTAND AND ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY'S MOTHERS, BABIES, AND FAMILIES. THERE REMAINS A SHARED DESIRE AND URGENCY TO BUILD COMMUNITY TRUST IN THE 2023-2025 CHIP. AS SOUTHWEST AND SOUTHCENTRAL MICHIGAN'S ONLY CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, BRONSON RECOGNIZES THE RESPONSIBILITY AND OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD THIS TRUST FROM THE START. AS A RESULT, BRONSON COMMITS TO ENGAGE AND BUILD TRUST WITH FAMILY SUPPORT TO ELIMINATE RACIAL/ETHNIC DISPARITIES AMONG MOTHERS AND BABIES ACROSS THE REGION (VAN BUREN, KALAMAZOO, CALHOUN COUNTIES). GIVEN THE EXTRAORDINARY CHALLENGE OF SUBSTANTIALLY AND MEASURABLY IMPROVING ACCESS TO CARE IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF LIMITED RESOURCES, BRONSON LEADERS AND COMMUNITY HEALTH BOARD COMMITTEE MEMBERS HAVE CHOSEN TO FOCUS ON TWO FOCUSED HEALTH NEEDS: WORKFORCE EQUITY AND HEALTHCARE EQUITY. TO ACT ON THIS, BRONSON HAS DEPLOYED SEVERAL TACTICS FOCUSED ON ELIMINATING RACIAL/ETHNIC DISPARITIES IN A FAMILY'S PERINATAL EXPERIENCE AND CLINICAL OUTCOMES AND ELIMINATING RACIAL/ETHNIC DISPARITIES IN BRONSON'S WORKFORCE AT EVERY LEVEL TO SUPPORT FAMILIES: ESTABLISH NEW, AND IMPROVE ON EXISTING, SOCIAL AND DEMOGRAPHIC DATA INFRASTRUCTURE AND IMPROVE SDOH SCREENING COLLECTION, IMPROVE PATIENTS' CONNECTION TO COMMUNITY RESOURCES BY ENHANCING COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, EXPAND INTERCULTURAL DEVELOPMENT TO IMPROVE QUALITY OF CARE, EXPAND IMPLEMENTATION OF EVIDENCE-BASED MODELS TO IMPROVE MATERNAL/INFANT HEALTH (E.G., CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE BIRTH EDUCATION, CENTERING PREGNANCY, COMMUNITY HEALTHCARE WORKERS, STRONG FATHERS' PROGRAMS, BREASTFEEDING INITIATIVES, NUTRITION EDUCATION, AND FOOD SUPPORTS), ESTABLISH NEW, AND IMPROVE ON EXISTING, SOCIAL AND DEMOGRAPHIC DATA INFRASTRUCTURE, EXPAND INTERCULTURAL DEVELOPMENT TO IMPROVE QUALITY OF CARE, CREATE AND PROMOTE INTERNAL OPPORTUNITIES THAT ALLOW EMPLOYEES TO THRIVE (E.G., CAREER PATHWAYS, SUPPORT FOR HOME OWNERSHIP, CONNECTION TO RESOURCES, ETC.), REVIEW AND REVISE ORGANIZATIONAL POLICIES AND PRACTICES USING AN EQUITY LENS TO SUPPORT THE HEALTH AND WELLBEING OF EMPLOYEES. THE 2023-2025 CHIP SERVES AS A NEXT STEP FOR A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO USE COMMUNITY VOICE, DATA, AND ENGAGEMENT TO UNDERSTAND AND ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY'S MOTHERS, BABIES, AND FAMILIES. BRONSON CONTINUES TO COLLABORATE AND PARTNER WITH AGENCIES WHOSE MISSIONS AND EXPERTISE ALLOW THEM TO HAVE AN IMPACT IN THE OTHER AREAS IDENTIFIED BY THE CHNA. BECAUSE OF THE INTERSECTIONALITY OF THE NEEDS IDENTIFIED, BRONSON ANTICIPATES THAT IMPROVING TRUST & ACCESS TO CARE AND EMPLOYMENT WILL IMPACT AND IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR MANY OF THE OTHER COMMUNITY NEEDS.
