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.

SIXTY PERCENT OF THE POPULATION IN HAZLETON IS HISPANIC. ADDITIONALLY, 28% OF THE POPULATION IN HAZLETON HAS LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY. IN COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS AND INTERVIEWS, COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND LEADERS FREQUENTLY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT SOCIO-ECONOMIC DISADVANTAGES AND LANGUAGE BARRIERS ARE THE FACTORS THAT ARE UNDERLYING AND INFLUENCING ALL OF THE OTHER HEALTH-RELATED ISSUES AND CONCERNS THAT RESIDENTS OF HAZLETON AND THROUGHOUT LUZERNE COUNTY ARE FACING. THERE HAS BEEN AN INCREASE IN JOBS IN WAREHOUSES, BUT THESE JOBS MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO MISS WORK FOR HEALTH-RELATED ISSUES. THERE IS A LACK OF ACCESSIBLE TRANSPORTATION, AND RENTAL PRICES ARE INCREASING. THE COMPOUNDING NATURE OF THESE BARRIERS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO PRIORITIZE FAMILY WELL-BEING AND INDIVIDUAL HEALTH. ONE PARTICIPANT NOTED THAT "SOCIOECONOMIC ISSUES TIE EVERYTHING TOGETHER, BUT THEY ARE EXACERBATED BY A BASIC LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ON GOOD HEALTH AND RESOURCES." THE LACK OF CULTURAL AND LANGUAGE RESOURCES IS THE PRIMARY BARRIER FOR HISPANIC INDIVIDUALS.WITHIN HAZLETON, THERE IS A GROWING AND VIBRANT HISPANIC POPULATION. COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND LEADERS WHO PARTICIPATED IN COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS HIGHLIGHTED THAT THERE IS A LACK OF CAPABLE TRANSLATORS IN THE COMMUNITY AND OFTEN TIMES THE TRANSLATIONS ON SIGNS IN THE COMMUNITY ARE NOT A CORRECT REFLECTION OF THE SPANISH LANGUAGE. AS IT RELATES TO HEALTHCARE, THE LACK OF BILINGUAL CLINICIANS OR INTERPRETERS WHO UNDERSTAND MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY WELL CAN RESULT IN A BREAKDOWN OF COMMUNICATION. PATIENTS FEEL THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE MEDICAL INFORMATION THEY ARE TOLD OR HOW TO PROPERLY FOLLOW THROUGH ON INSTRUCTIONS THEY ARE GIVEN. COMMUNITY MEMBERS SUGGESTED INCENTIVIZING BILINGUAL STUDENTS TO PURSUE CAREERS IN HEALTHCARE IN ORDER TO INCREASE THE AVAILABILITY OF BILINGUAL CLINICIANS. LVH-HAZLETON PRIORITIZED DIVERSIFYING THE STAFF TO BE MORE REFLECTIVE OF THE COMMUNITY BEING SERVED, INCLUDING THROUGH HUMAN RESOURCE RECRUITMENT AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS, AS WELL AS INCREASING ACCESSIBILITY OF SERVICES FOR ALL SEGMENTS OF THE POPULATION.IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS AND CONCERNS UNCOVERED BY OUR 2022 CHNA PROCESS, LVH-H HAS COMPLETED THE FOLLOWING IN FY23 THROUGH FY25.RECRUITING AND HIRING SPANISH-SPEAKING STAFF1.

Form and Line Reference	Explanation
PART I, LINE 6A:	THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT IS ISSUED BY LEHIGH VALLEY HEALTH NETWORK - EIN #22-2458317, THE PARENT COMPANY OF LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL-HAZLETON.
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:	THE SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES AMOUNT OF $5,790,099 IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PAYMENTS AND COSTS FOR ANESTHESIA SERVICES, TELEMEDICINE, AND HOSPITALIST SERVICES. THESE SERVICE EXPENSES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE MEDICAL ASSISTANCE SHORTFALL OR UNCOMPENSATED CARE VALUES REPORTED ABOVE.
PART I, LN 7 COL(F):	THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE REPORTED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25 IS $25,076,817.
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-HAZLETON RECORDED A PROVISION FOR IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS OF $25,207,326 AND $18,131,695 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.
