Form and Line Reference	Explanation
LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL	PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5: FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA), LVHN DEFINES THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES AS ALL INDIVIDUALS LIVING WITHIN THE COUNTIES THAT CONTAIN OUR HOSPITAL CAMPUSES. LVHN IS REQUIRED TO PRODUCE A CHNA FOR EACH OF OUR LICENSED FACILITIES TO ADDRESS THE LOCAL CONTEXT OF THE DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. THEREFORE, LVHN HAS PRODUCED SEVEN CHNAS FOR OUR LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL (LVH) CAMPUSES (SEE BELOW).HOSPITAL LOCATIONS UNDER LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL (LVH) LICENSURE INCLUDE:- LVH-CEDAR CREST, LVH-17TH STREET, LVH-1503 NORTH CEDAR CREST, AND LVHN-TILGHMAN, PRIMARILY SERVING LEHIGH COUNTY, PA.- LVH-HECKTOWN OAKS, LVH-MUHLENBERG, AND LVH-HIGHLAND AVENUE, PRIMARILY SERVING NORTHAMPTON COUNTY, PA.- LVH-CARBON, PRIMARILY SERVING CARBON COUNTY, PA.OTHER HOSPITALS UNDER SEPARATE LICENSURE ARE:- LVH-HAZLETON, PRIMARILY SERVING LUZERNE COUNTY, PA.- LVH-SCHUYLKILL, PRIMARY SERVING SCHUYLKILL COUNTY, PA.- LVH-POCONO, PRIMARILY SERVING MONROE COUNTY, PA.- LVH-DICKSON CITY, PRIMARILY SERVING LACKAWANNA COUNTY, PA.WITHIN THE ENTIRE GEOGRAPHIC POPULATION THAT MAKES UP THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE, WE PLACE GREATER EMPHASIS ON INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY WHO ARE EXPERIENCING HEALTH DISPARITIES TO A GREATER EXTENT OR WHO ARE AT-RISK FOR NEGATIVE HEALTH OUTCOMES BECAUSE OF THE SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS INFLUENCING THEIR HEALTH. THE REPORTS PRESENT A HANDFUL OF KEY DATA POINTS FOR EACH COUNTY; HOWEVER, IN ADDITION, WE HAVE DEVELOPED AN INTERACTIVE DASHBOARD THAT PRESENTS A BROADER DEPTH OF HEALTH INFORMATION ABOUT EACH COUNTY AS WELL AS THE URBAN CENTER IN EACH COUNTY.LVHN'S 2022 CHNA IMPLEMENTATION PLAN USED A PRIORITIZATION PROCESS RESULTING IN TWO PRIMARY INITIATIVES FOR EACH COUNTY. TO SELECT MEANINGFUL AND ACTIONABLE PRIORITIES, EACH CAMPUS CONSIDERED THREE FACTORS: MAGNITUDE/IMPACT, CAPACITY, AND ALIGNMENT. THE MAGNITUDE/IMPACT COMPONENT OF THE PRIORITY SETTING CONSIDERED THE SCALE OF PRESSING NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE CAPACITY COMPONENT CONSIDERED LVHN'S ABILITY TO TAKE ON INITIATIVES IN DIFFERENT AREAS AS WELL AS THE POTENTIAL NEED TO PARTNER WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS. THE ALIGNMENT COMPONENT CONSIDERED THE EXTENT TO WHICH VARIOUS POTENTIAL PRIORITIES ALIGN WITH LEHIGH VALLEY HEALTH NETWORK'S CURRENT CLINICAL, COMMUNITY, AND POPULATION HEALTH GOALS. IN PRIORITY-SETTING FOR 2025, THE WORK DONE DURING THE 2022 CHNA WAS REVIEWED TO ALLOW FOR BUILDING ON PAST WORK. BELOW SHOWS A SUMMARY OF THE PRIORITY AREAS SELECTED FOR THE 2022 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN.- IN BOTH LEHIGH AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTIES, CHNA PRIORITIES WERE MENTAL HEALTH PREVENTION & EDUCATION, AND SCHOOL-BASED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH. IN NORTHAMPTON COUNTY SPECIFICALLY, AN ADDITIONAL CHNA PRIORITY WAS HOUSING INSTABILITY.- IN CARBON COUNTY, CHNA PRIORITIES WERE SCHOOL-BASED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, AND ACCESS TO RURAL PRIMARY AND PREVENTIVE CARE.HERE ARE SOME HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE IMPACTS SEEN BETWEEN 2022 AND 2025:CARBON COUNTY: THE SCHOOL-BASED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROGRAM DOUBLED THE NUMBER OF REFERRALS FROM ABOUT 50 TO 100 FROM FY24 TO FY25. TELEHEALTH SERVICES, WHICH WERE FIRST OFFERED IN 2023, WERE EXPANDED IN 2024. LVH-CARBON HAS MADE STRIDES TOWARD IMPROVING ACCESS TO PRIMARY CARE DURING THE 2022-2025 CHNA. THERE IS NOW A PRIMARY CARE CRNP IN CARBON COUNTY EVERY DAY. IN 2023, LVH-CARBON ADDED FOUR PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS, AND IN FY24, ONE MORE WAS ADDED.

LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL	PART V, SECTION B, LINE 7D: OUR COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT IS ALSO AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL	PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11: PRIORITY AREA: MENTAL HEALTH PREVENTION AND EDUCATION (LEHIGH AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTIES)LVH-LEHIGH VALLEY'S 2022 CHNA CALLED ATTENTION TO THE ONGOING CONCERNS THAT RESIDENTS HAVE REGARDING THE MENTAL HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN THEIR COMMUNITY. PARTICIPANTS FELT THAT ONE'S MENTAL HEALTH IS AS IMPORTANT AS ONE'S PHYSICAL HEALTH. THEY NOTED THAT WHILE MENTAL HEALTH WAS A CHALLENGE PRIOR TO THE PANDEMIC, THE SOCIAL ISOLATION AND SENSE OF LOSS THAT COVID-19 HAS FORCED EVERYONE TO EXPERIENCE HAS FURTHER EMPHASIZED THE NEED. SOME PEOPLE ARE NOW SELF-MEDICATING, WHICH IS A CONCERN. COMMUNITY MEMBERS FELT THAT IT IS EXCEEDINGLY DIFFICULT TO FIND HELP WHEN DEALING WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, PARTICULARLY FOR PEOPLE WITH DUAL DIAGNOSIS (MENTAL HEALTH DISORDER AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER). CONCERN WAS EXPRESSED ABOUT MARGINALIZATION AND INEQUITIES, ESPECIALLY FOR BLACK AND BROWN COMMUNITY MEMBERS, THOSE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS, AND INDIVIDUALS WITHIN THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY. IN ADDITION TO WHAT WE HEARD FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS, WE ALSO KNOW FROM DATA FROM THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL THAT LEHIGH AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTIES BOTH HAVE HIGH RATES OF SUICIDE (14.7 AND 16.4 PER 100,000 RESPECTIVELY).AS THERE IS STILL STIGMA ATTACHED TO NEEDING HELP FOR MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, THE LEHIGH VALLEY REGION (LVH-CEDAR CREST, 17TH STREET, MUHLENBERG, HECKTOWN OAKS, TILGHMAN ST.) GOAL IS TO DECREASE STIGMA AND INCREASE THE SKILLS OF PROFESSIONALS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO RECOGNIZE MENTAL HEALTH CONCERNS AND PROMOTE MENTAL WELLNESS. PARTICIPANTS FELT THAT THE YOUNGER GENERATION TALKS MORE ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH, BUT THERE IS ALSO A GROWING CONCERN ABOUT SUICIDE AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE. IN OUR REGION, SUICIDE IS THE SECOND LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH AMONG TEENS. COMMUNITY MEMBERS NOTED THAT THERE IS A NEED FOR ADDITIONAL MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES (E.G., INPATIENT, COUNSELORS) AND FOR PREVENTION EFFORTS, SUCH AS TEACHING HEALTHY COPING SKILLS. THEY WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SEE LVHN PRESENT A MORE ENGAGED, POSITIVE, EMPATHIC, INTERACTIVE PRESENCE IN THE COMMUNITY AND DO MORE TO ENGAGE MARGINALIZED MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY.IN RESPONSE TO THE CONCERNS OUTLINED ABOVE, THE LEHIGH VALLEY REGION PRIORITIZED OPPORTUNITIES TO PROVIDE MENTAL HEALTH EDUCATION AND TO CONNECT WITH INDIVIDUALS WHO MIGHT BENEFIT FROM MENTAL HEALTH CARE AND INFORM THEM ABOUT AVAILABLE SERVICES. WE HAVE FOUND THAT HEALTH FAIRS AND COMMUNITY EVENTS PROVIDE CONVENIENT AND UNIVERSALLY ACCESSIBLE WAYS FOR INDIVIDUALS TO TALK AND LEARN ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH AND MENTAL HEALTH CARE OPTIONS. WE HAVE PROVIDED THESE OPPORTUNITIES THROUGHOUT OUR COMMUNITIES WITH AN EYE TOWARD ENGAGING A WIDE VARIETY OF PEOPLE AND GROUPS.THE FOLLOWING EVENTS WERE COMPLETED BETWEEN FY2023-FY2025 BY THE DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHIATRY:(1) SPONSORED ELEVEN DIFFERENT COMMUNITY EVENTS FOCUSED ON MENTAL HEALTH.

FROM FY2023 TO FY2025, WE COMPLETED THE FOLLOWING:- PARTICIPATED IN A STRATEGIC PLANNING TASK FORCE ON HOUSING IN BETHLEHEM. THE TASK FORCE IS WORKING WITH A HOUSING CONSULTANT.- PROVIDED A LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR THE BETHLEHEM HOUSING AUTHORITY FOR HUD CHOICE, MIXED-INCOME HOUSING DEVELOPMENT FOR PEMBROOKE (UP TO $50K FOR PLANNING GRANT AND POTENTIAL FOR $30-50M IMPLEMENTATION GRANT). - LVH-MUHLENBERG PRESIDENT, JIM MILLER IS AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE GREATER EASTON DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP BOARD. THEIR WORK INCLUDES A WEST WARD INITIATIVE.- LVH-HECKTOWN OAKS COO LISA LIDDINGTON IS AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE PEMBROKE CHOICE STEERING COMMITTEE WHICH WAS ESTABLISHED TO IMPLEMENT A HUD CHOICE NEIGHBORHOODS PLANNING GRANT FOR THE PEMBROKE NEIGHBORHOOD A 196 LOW-INCOME HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY OF BETHLEHEM. THE COMMITTEE INCLUDES PEMBROKE VILLAGE RESIDENTS, NEIGHBORING RESIDENTS, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE AGENCIES, COMMUNITY AND PHILANTHROPIC ORGANIZATIONS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS. THE PEMBROKE CHOICE FINAL PLAN TO TRANSFORM THE CURRENT DISTRESSED PUBLIC AND ASSISTED HOUSING INTO ENERGY EFFICIENT, MIXED-INCOME HOUSING, WAS SUBMITTED IN THE FALL OF 2025 AND THE COMMITTEE IS CURRENTLY PREPARING FOR A POTENTIAL CHOICE NEIGHBORHOOD IMPLEMENTATION FUNDING ROUND IN 2026.PRIORITY AREA: ACCESS TO PRIMARY CARE AND OTHER PREVENTIVE SERVICES IN RURAL AREAS (CARBON COUNTY) LVHN'S CARBON COUNTY 2022 CHNA PROCESS UNDERSCORED THAT THERE IS A LACK OF PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS AND SERVICES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. IN ALL COMMUNITY MEETINGS AND INTERVIEWS, COMMUNITY MEMBERS SPOKE ABOUT THE LACK OF TRANSPORTATION TO GET TO SERVICES IN CARBON COUNTY. PARTICIPANTS SHARED THAT TRANSPORTATION LIMITS COMMUNITY MEMBERS' ABILITY TO GET TO HEALTHCARE SERVICES AND CHILDCARE. CURRENTLY, RESIDENTS MUST TRAVEL LONG DISTANCES TO GET TO HOSPITALS AND THERE IS NOT A LOT OF AVAILABLE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION TO GET TO SERVICES. MANY COUNTY RESIDENTS DO NOT HAVE PRIMARY CARE CLOSE TO THEIR HOMES. MANY COMMUNITY RESIDENTS AND LEADERS REPORTED A LACK OF PREVENTIVE SERVICES, IN PARTICULAR PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS, OB-GYN PROVIDERS, AND PEDIATRICIANS. IT IS A CHALLENGE TO FIND A DOCTOR WHO IS TAKING NEW PATIENTS. SOME COMMUNITY MEMBERS ALSO LACK INSURANCE OR DO NOT WANT TO USE THEIR INSURANCE BECAUSE OF HIGH DEDUCTIBLES. THE LACK OF PROVIDERS AND NEED FOR BETTER INSURANCE CREATE BARRIERS FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO ACCESS PREVENTIVE HEALTH SERVICES. HOWEVER, COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE ALSO EXCITED ABOUT THE NEW HOSPITALS THAT ARE BEING BUILT IN THE COUNTY TO CREATE CLOSER ACCESS TO SPECIALIZED OR URGENT CARE SERVICES. KNOWING THIS, LVH-C PRIORITIZED IMPROVING ACCESS TO PRIMARY CARE AND PREVENTIVE SERVICES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY IN ITS IMPLEMENTATION PLAN. LVH-C IS WORKING TOWARD EXPANDING PRIMARY CARE PRACTICES, ADDING HEALTH CARE SERVICE ACCESS POINTS, AND INCREASING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PREVENTIVE HEALTH SCREENINGS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY, PARTICULARLY IN RURAL AREAS. TO ADDRESS THIS CONCERN, LVH-C HAS BEEN ADDING MEDICAL PROVIDERS IN RURAL PARTS OF THE COUNTY. LVH-C HAS ALSO BEEN REACHING OUT TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO INFORM THEM ABOUT THE HEALTH CARE SERVICES THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO THEM. BEGINNING IN FY24, THERE IS NOW A CRNP AVAILABLE IN CARBON COUNTY EVERY DAY. BETWEEN FY2023-FY2025, SEVEN CLINICIANS WERE ADDED IN CARBON COUNTY, WITH SPECIALTIES SUCH AS INTERNAL MEDICINE, FAMILY MEDICINE, GERIATRICS, AND UROLOGY.LVH-C REACHED OUT TO THE COMMUNITY AT SEVERAL EVENTS THROUGHOUT FY23. IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING TARGETED, TOPICAL INFORMATION, THESE EVENTS ALSO HELP TO CREATE AN AWARENESS OF THE PRIMARY CARE SERVICES OFFERED BY LVHN AND HELP THE COMMUNITY TO BECOME MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT AND COMFORTABLE WITH SEEKING TREATMENT. EVENTS INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING:- DRIVING SIMULATORS HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO BE AN EFFECTIVE TOOL FOR EDUCATING DRIVERS ABOUT SAFETY. LVH-CARBON OFFERED EVENTS AT FOUR LOCAL SCHOOLS AND A COMMUNITY HEALTH FAIR.

Form and Line Reference	Explanation
PART I, LINE 6A:	THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT IS ISSUED BY LEHIGH VALLEY HEALTH NETWORK, EIN #22-2458317, THE SOLE CORPORATE MEMBER OF LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL.
PART I, LINE 7:	THE COSTING METHODOLOGY IS COST TO CHARGE RATIO FOR PROGRAMS WITH GROSS CHARGES AND DIRECT COSTS FOR PROGRAMS WITHOUT GROSS CHARGES.
PART I, LINE 7G:	SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES OF $43,573,257 IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE COST OF SERVICES PROVIDED IN CLINICS, AND CERTAIN SERVICE LINES DESCRIBED BELOW, AND THE PAYMENTS RECEIVED FOR THOSE SERVICES.SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES INCLUDE THE OPERATIONS OF THE DENTAL CLINIC, MENTAL HEALTH CLINIC, AND GERIATRICS. THE DENTAL CLINIC IS OPERATED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE DENTAL RESIDENCY PROGRAM, AND THE OUTPATIENT MENTAL HEALTH CLINIC PROVIDES EVALUATION, COUNSELING, AND CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES TO RESIDENTS OF LEHIGH AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTIES.SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES ALSO INCLUDE PRACTICE AREAS WHERE LOCALIZED AND/OR NATIONAL PHYSICIAN SHORTAGES EXIST, SUCH AS OBSTETRICS, ONCOLOGY, ENDOCRINOLOGY, GASTROENTEROLOGY, NEPHROLOGY, NEUROLOGY, PSYCHIATRY, AND NEONATOLOGY. LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL ALSO PROVIDES SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES IN NUMEROUS MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREAS (MUAS), AS IDENTIFIED BY THE CATHOLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION. THE OPERATIONS OF EIGHT OF THE 17TH STREET CLINICS WERE TRANSFERRED TO VALLEY HEALTH PARTNERS COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER AS OF JULY 1, 2020. VALLEY HEALTH PARTNERS IS DESIGNATED AS A FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER (FQHC) LOOK-ALIKE. SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE MEDICAL ASSISTANCE SHORTFALL OR UNCOMPENSATED CHARITY CARE VALUE REPORTED PRIOR. SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES DO INCLUDE $183,072 OF THE WAGE AND BENEFIT EXPENSE OF DENTAL RESIDENTS WHO PROVIDED CARE TO CLINIC PATIENTS.
PART I, LN 7 COL(F):	THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE REPORTED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25 IS $167,327,782.
PART III, LINE 2:	PATIENT ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBT ARE IDENTIFIED. THE COST TO PROVIDE CARE TO THESE PATIENTS IS CALCULATED BY MULTIPLYING THE TOTAL CHARGES WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBT BY THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO.
PART III, LINE 3:	THIS AMOUNT IS THE COST TO PROVIDE CARE TO UNINSURED PATIENTS THAT DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCESS TO DETERMINE IF THEY ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE COST IS DETERMINED USING COST TO CHARGE RATIOS. THE RATIONALE FOR INCLUDING THE COST TO PROVIDE CARE TO UNINSURED PATIENTS THAT DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROCESS IS THE HOSPITAL'S EXPERIENCE WITH UNINSURED PATIENTS THAT DO PARTICIPATE IN THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. WHEN THE HOSPITAL EVALUATES UNINSURED PATIENTS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, THE MOST COMMON FINDING IS THAT UNINSURED PATIENTS HAVE INCOME LESS THAN 400% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINE AND QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE HOSPITAL BELIEVES THAT UNINSURED PEOPLE WHO CHOOSE NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROCESS AND HAVE THEIR ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBT, HAVE INCOME THAT WOULD QUALIFY FOR THE HOSPITAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.
PART III, LINE 4:	THE ORGANIZATION ESTIMATES AN IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSION RELATED TO UNINSURED ACCOUNTS, NET OF THE AGB (AMOUNTS GENERALLY BILLED) DISCOUNT, TO RECORD THE NET SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AT THE ESTIMATED AMOUNTS THE ORGANIZATION EXPECTS TO COLLECT. COINSURANCES AND DEDUCTIBLES WITHIN THE THIRD-PARTY PAYER AGREEMENTS ARE THE PATIENT'S RESPONSIBILITY SO THE ORGANIZATION INCLUDES THESE AMOUNTS IN THE SELF-PAY ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND CONSIDERS THESE AMOUNTS IN ITS DETERMINATION OF THE PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE DEBTS BASED ON HISTORICAL COLLECTION EXPERIENCE. FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025, AND 2024, RESPECTIVELY, LVH RECORDED A PROVISION FOR IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS OF $234,509,000 AND $210,350,000 AS A DIRECT REDUCTION TO PATIENT SERVICES REVENUES.IN INSTANCES WHERE THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES A PATIENT HAS THE ABILITY TO PAY FOR SERVICES AND, AFTER APPROPRIATE COLLECTION EFFORTS, PAYMENT IS NOT MADE, THE UNPAID PORTION OF THE ACCOUNT BALANCE IS WRITTEN-OFF TO THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS. AMOUNTS RECORDED AS PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS DO NOT INCLUDE CHARITY CARE.
PART III, LINE 8:	THE SOURCE OF THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS RELATING TO REVENUE RECEIVED FROM MEDICARE IS THE FY2025 MEDICARE COST REPORT. THE ENTIRE SHORTFALL ON LINE 7 SHOULD BE TREATED AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THE REVENUE AND EXPENSES ARE BOTH DETERMINED USING MEDICARE PRINCIPLES.
PART III, LINE 9B:	FINANCIAL COUNSELING STAFF WILL DETERMINE WHETHER PATIENTS MEET ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ACCOUNTS THAT DO NOT MEET THE ELIGIBLILTY REQUIREMENTS WILL BE REFERRED TO AN EXTERNAL RECEIVABLES FOLLOW UP AGENCY, AND IF NOT PAID, REFERRED TO A COLLECTION AGENCY AND SUBSEQUENTLY TRANSFERRED TO BAD DEBT STATUS IF THE ACCOUNTS REMAIN UNPAID.
PART VI, LINE 2:	AS PART OF THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, STARTING IN 2013, ALL NON-PROFIT HOSPITALS AND HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS ARE REQUIRED TO CONDUCT A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) EVERY THREE YEARS. THE CHNA REPORT EXAMINES THE FACTORS THAT IMPACT THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS OF ALL PEOPLE IN A PARTICULAR GEOGRAPHIC AREA. BEYOND ITS REGULATORY FUNCTION, THE CHNA IS AN IMPORTANT OVERVIEW OF THE CURRENT STATE OF HEALTH IN OUR REGION AND IDENTIFIES POTENTIAL AREAS OF CONCERN WHICH INFORMS LEHIGH VALLEY HEALTH NETWORK'S (LVHN) POPULATION HEALTH MANAGEMENT EFFORTS.WITHIN THE COMMUNITIES LVHN SERVES, THE CHNA REPORTS PLACE A GREATER EMPHASIS ON INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING HEALTH DISPARITIES OR WHO ARE AT RISK FOR NEGATIVE HEALTH OUTCOMES BECAUSE OF SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS INFLUENCING THEIR HEALTH. IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF THE MOST VULNERABLE MEMBERS OF A COMMUNITY HAS BEEN SHOWN TO IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR ALL IN THE COMMUNITY. ACCESS TO QUALITY HEALTH CARE IS ONLY ONE OF THE FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE HEALTH OF A POPULATION. OTHER FACTORS SUCH AS HEALTH BEHAVIORS, THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT, AND SOCIOECONOMIC FACTORS ARE MORE POWERFUL PREDICTORS OF HEALTH, ILLNESS, AND HEALTH CARE UTILIZATION OVER TIME. FOR THIS REASON, THE SOCIAL DRIVERS OF HEALTH ARE A FOCUS IN THIS NEEDS ASSESSMENT REPORT, AND LVHN HAS ADOPTED THE WELL-BEING PORTFOLIO AS THE FRAMEWORK FOR OUR COMMUNITY HEALTH STRATEGY. THIS HOLISTIC FRAMEWORK INCORPORATES BOTH SERVICES THAT ADDRESS URGENT NEEDS (SUCH AS ACUTE CARE FOR ILLNESS OR INJURY AND ASSISTANCE WITH MEETING BASIC NEEDS FOR FOOD AND SHELTER) AND LONG-TERM INVESTMENT IN ASSURING THAT ALL PEOPLE HAVE WHAT THEY NEED TO THRIVE. ALONG THESE LINES, THE WELL-BEING PORTFOLIO OUTLINES SEVEN VITAL CONDITIONS FOR HEALTH AND WELL-BEING: BASIC NEEDS FOR HEALTH AND SAFETY, LIFELONG LEARNING, MEANINGFUL WORK AND WEALTH, HUMANE HOUSING, A THRIVING NATURAL WORLD, RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION, AND BELONGING AND CIVIC MUSCLE. AS WE HAVE ASSESSED THE HEALTH NEEDS OF PEOPLE IN THE COUNTY, WE HAVE BEEN SURE TO CONSIDER THE ROLE OF HEALTH CARE IN ADDRESSING BOTH URGENT NEEDS AND THE BROADER VITAL CONDITIONS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE HEALTH OF INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES IN THE REGION.THIS INTRODUCTION PROVIDES AN OVERVIEW OF LVHN'S 2025 CHNA PROCESS. THE 2025 CHNA COMBINES DATA AND INFORMATION FROM LOCAL, STATE, AND NATIONAL SOURCES ABOUT DISEASE, THE ENVIRONMENT, SOCIAL FACTORS, AND INDIVIDUAL BEHAVIORS, WITH IDEAS, STORIES, AND EXPERIENCES FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND LEADERS FROM THROUGHOUT THE COUNTIES SERVED BY LVHN. THE SECOND COMPONENT OF THE LVHN'S CHNA IS THE COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPLEMENTATION PLAN (CHIP), WHICH OUTLINES OUR PLAN TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE CHNA OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT THREE YEARS. THE 2025 CHNA REPORTS AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, AS WELL AS ALL PAST CHNA REPORTS, ARE PROVIDED AT WWW.LVHN.ORG/CHNA.THE 2025 LVHN CHNA IS BROKEN OUT INTO THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS: DEMOGRAPHICS, SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC FACTORS, HEALTH BEHAVIORS, AND HEALTH OUTCOMES. THESE REPORTS HAVE BEEN REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES AS WELL AS THE COMMUNITY RELATIONS COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD. THE CHIP WAS ALSO REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE VARIOUS HOSPITAL CAMPUS BOARDS AND THE LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL BOARD OF TRUSTEES.NOTE: IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING THE 2025 CHNA AND CORRESPONDING IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, LVHN MERGED WITH JEFFERSON HEALTH. THIS WILL BE THE FINAL LVHN COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT. GOING FORWARD, PLANS WILL FEATURE THE LEHIGH VALLEY REGION OF JEFFERSON HEALTH.
PART VI, LINE 3:	CONSISTENT WITH THE MISSION AND VALUES OF LEHIGH VALLEY HEALTH NETWORK, IT IS THE POLICY TO PROVIDE MEDICAL CARE TO ALL INDIVIDUALS WITHOUT REGARD TO THEIR ABILITY TO PAY FOR SERVICES. THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY APPLIES TO UNINSURED AND UNDER-INSURED INDIVIDUALS WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCESS TO EVALUATE THEIR ABILITY TO PAY FOR LVHN SERVICES.PATIENTS ARE IDENTIFIED BY LVHN REGISTRATION, BENEFITS AND VERIFICATION, CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND FINANCIAL COUNSELORS AS BEING IN FINANCIAL NEED. THE FINANCIAL COUNSELORS HELP PATIENTS COMPLETE THE APPLICATION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. LVHN FOLLOWS THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES TO EVALUATE ELIGIBILITY. PATIENTS WHOSE FAMILY INCOME FALLS BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINE WILL HAVE THEIR ENTIRE BALANCE FORGIVEN FOR THEIR QUALIFYING SERVICES AT A PARTICIPATING LVHN PROVIDER. PATIENTS WITH A FAMILY INCOME BELOW 400% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES WILL HAVE A PORTION OF THEIR BALANCE FORGIVEN FOR QUALIFYING SERVICES AT A PARTICIPATING LVHN PROVIDER. PATIENTS ARE EVALUATED FOR NO COST OR REDUCED PREMIUM INSURANCE PLANS. THE LVHN FINANCIAL COUNSELORS WILL OFFER INFORMATION TO PATIENTS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN SEEING IF THEY QUALIFY FOR THESE PROGRAMS OFFERED BY COMMERCIAL INSURANCE COMPANIES.PATIENTS OFTEN EXPRESS FINANCIAL CONCERN OR NEED BY CONTACTING THE LVHN CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENTS. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES EXPLAIN THE PROGRAMS AVAILABLE; FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND SUPPORT IN APPLYING FOR MEDICAL ASSISTANCE OR INSURANCE THROUGH THE FEDERAL HEALTH INSURANCE EXCHANGE. PATIENTS WILL BE REFERRED TO THE FINANCIAL COUNSELORS WHO WORK WITH PATIENTS TO APPLY FOR PENNSYLVANIA MEDICAL ASSISTANCE. THE FINANCIAL COUNSELORS ARE LOCATED ONSITE. THE FINANCIAL COUNSELORS VISIT PATIENTS IN THEIR INPATIENT ROOMS, IN THE CANCER CENTER, AND IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT. IN ADDITION, LVHN ADVERTISES FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER, ON OUR PUBLIC WEBSITE AND ON THE STATEMENTS SENT TO OUR PATIENTS.

SINCE THEN, LVHN HAS BEEN BUILDING ITS CAPACITY AND COMPETENCIES TO ACHIEVE THIS VISION. LVHN DEFINES POPULATION HEALTH (PH) AS THE HEALTH AND HEALTH OUTCOMES OF A GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS, INCLUDING HOW THOSE OUTCOMES ARE DISTRIBUTED ACROSS THE GROUP. PH HAS GAINED SIGNIFICANT TRACTION IN LVHN OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, EVEN THOUGH CURRENTLY LESS THAN 10% OF PAYMENT COMES THROUGH VALUE ARRANGEMENTS. NONETHELESS, LVHN HAS DONE THE GROUNDWORK FOR THE EVENTUALITY THAT THE NATION'S FINANCING MODEL WILL CHANGE TO SUPPORT THE EXECUTION OF A VALUE-DRIVEN, POPULATION HEALTH-BASED DELIVERY SYSTEM. LVHN HAS BEGUN TO CREATE A CULTURE OF DELIVERING THE RIGHT INTERVENTION FOR A SPECIFIC PATIENT IN THE LEAST COSTLY POINT IN THE CARE CONTINUUM AND CREATING VALUE FOR PATIENTS AND PAYERS SO THAT LVHN IS RECOGNIZED AND REIMBURSED FOR THAT KIND OF CARE. THE INTEGRATED CARE COORDINATION DEPARTMENT SEAMLESSLY INTEGRATES CARE COORDINATION EFFORTS ACROSS THE HEALTH NETWORK WITH BOTH INPATIENT AND AMBULATORY CLINICAL ASSETS.

OVER 43,000 UNIQUE PATIENTS SCREENED POSITIVE FOR A HEALTH-RELATED SOCIAL NEED IN FY25. IN JANUARY 2025, LVHN TRANSITIONED TO THE JEFFERSON HEALTH RELATED SOCIAL NEED (HRSN) SCREENING TOOL AND EXPANDED ITS SCREENING CRITERIA WITH A GOAL TO ENSURE ALL ADULTS (18+) WERE SCREENED ANNUALLY (EVERY 12 MONTHS) FOR HRSN. IN FY25, 33% OF PATIENTS ACTIVE WITHIN LVHN WERE SCREENED. TO ADDRESS POSITIVE HRSN SCREENS, LVHN TEAMS RECOMMENDED OVER 15,000 COMMUNITY-BASED RESOURCES TO PATIENTS IN FY25. EIGHT PERCENT (1,202) OF THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS RESULTED IN PATIENTS RECEIVING HELP FROM THE ORGANIZATION REFERRED TO. ADDITIONALLY, OVER 3,000 PATIENTS WERE REFERRED TO POPULATION HEALTH SOCIAL SERVICES PROGRAMS FOR RESOURCE NAVIGATION AND SUPPORT. THESE AMBULATORY TEAMS ASSIST PATIENTS AFTER A HOSPITAL DISCHARGE TO ENSURE SAFE TRANSITIONS OF CARE BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY. THE TEAM CONTACTED A TOTAL OF 35,000 PATIENTS AFTER A HOSPITAL STAY IN FY25. THESE NUMBERS REPRESENT THE CALLS MADE FOR DISCHARGES FROM ONE OF OUR LVH HOSPITALS OR FOR ATTRIBUTED PATIENTS SEEN IN ANOTHER NON-LVHN FACILITY. THROUGHOUT FY25, EFFORTS CONTINUED TO FOCUS ON INCREASING THE PERCENTAGE OF PATIENTS WHO HAVE A TIMELY FOLLOW-UP VISIT POST-DISCHARGE. THE PERCENTAGE OF PATIENTS SEEN WITHIN SEVEN DAYS WAS 57.4%.

COMPLEX CARE MANAGERS MANAGED 2,200 CASES IN FY24 AND FY25, ASSISTING PATIENTS FACING SIGNIFICANT BARRIERS TO DISCHARGE, SUCH AS THOSE REQUIRING GUARDIANSHIP OR INTERNATIONAL PATIENTS NEEDING RESOURCES FOR POST-ACUTE CARE. A MAJOR INITIATIVE HAS BEEN TO EXPAND PLACEMENTS WITH OUR POST-ACUTE COLLABORATIVE PROVIDERS (PACC), WHO DEMONSTRATE SHORTER LENGTHS OF STAY AND LOWER RATES OF READMISSION, RESULTING IN HIGHER-QUALITY CARE. EACH YEAR, THE NUMBER OF PLACEMENTS WITH PACCS HAS GROWN. HOWEVER, OBTAINING POST-ACUTE AUTHORIZATIONS REMAINS A PRIMARY SOURCE OF DISCHARGE DELAYS DUE TO PAYER CONTRACT LIMITATIONS. TO ADDRESS THIS, THE TEAM IS WORKING TO CENTRALIZE DISCHARGE PLANNING PROCESSES FOR POST-ACUTE AUTHORIZATIONS, AIMING TO MINIMIZE HOSPITAL LENGTH OF STAY (LOS). THE REMOTE CARE MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE WAS REFINED WITH THE INCLUSION OF MICRO HOSPITALS, ALLOWING US TO SERVE MORE PATIENTS THROUGHOUT THE HEALTH NETWORK AND FILL OPEN POSITIONS.
