"Facility , 1 - ASCENSION STANDISH HOSPITAL. In Ascension Standish Hospital's tax year 2021 CHNA, community input was obtained through the following methods: Recognizing the vital importance of understanding the health needs and assets of the community, Mary Kushion Consulting, LLC. consulted with a range of public health and social service providers that represent the broad interest of Arenac County. A concerted effort was made to ensure that the individuals and organizations represented the needs and perspectives of: 1) public health practice and research; 2) individuals who are medically underserved, are low-income, or considered among the minority populations served by the hospital; and 3) the broader community at large and those who represent the broad interests and needs of the community served. Multiple methods were used to gather community input. To avoid duplication of effort and ""survey fatigue"", Ascension Standish Hospital promoted the community pulse surveys and provider surveys developed and disseminated by the MiTHRIVE assessment process. A large community forum was held to share the data generated at both the regional (MiTHRIVE) and county-specific level. The draft of the Arenac County CHNA was sent to the participants of the community forum and other stakeholders within the county with a feedback survey to gather the community's input prior to finalizing the CHNA for board approval. A summary of the process and results is outlined below. *Community Forum - In addition to the MiTHRIVE ""data walk"" to review and provide input on a regional level, Ascension Standish Hospital also hosted a large public forum in February 2022 to gather feedback from community members on the health needs and assets of Arenac County. 36 community members participated in the forum with participants representing various populations including the medically underserved and low-income. In addition, business, economic development, education, government, healthcare, mental health, public health, and substance misuse as well as the broader community were represented at the forum. *Survey - A survey was conducted between March-April 2022 by Ascension Standish Hospital to gather the perceptions, thoughts, opinions, and concerns of the community regarding the draft CHNA. The questions posed were related to the draft report's accuracy of content, the community perceptions related to its challenges, the assets and resources available, and the participant's vision for the Arenac County community. Eight community stakeholders and residents participated in the survey which provided valuable insight into the issues of importance to the community. The following list represents the CHNA participating organizations: *Arenac County EMC *Arenac Conservation District *Arenac County Sheriff *Ascension Standish Hospital *Bay-Arenac ISD *Bay-Arenac Great Start *Central Michigan District Health Department *City of Standish *Main Street Lanes *Ogemaw Hills Free Clinic *Stage Right Performing Arts Studio *Standish Family Medicine Clinic *Sterling Area Health Center *Ten 16 *The WELL Outreach *81st District Court"

Facility , 1 - ASCENSION STANDISH HOSPITAL - PART 1. Ascension Standish's tax year 2018 CHNA implementation strategy was completed June 2022 and has addressed the following priority health needs: Healthcare Access, Obesity Related Adverse Health Conditions, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), and Human Trafficking. Highlights from the Ascension Standish Hospital's previous implementation strategy include: *Healthcare Access - Ascension Standish Hospital's goal to increase access to healthcare services in Arenac County through the implementation of a tele-behavioral health clinic was achieved in November 2020. The clinic was marketed to surrounding physicians, Ascension Standish Family Medicine, Bay Arenac Behavioral Health, and Northern Michigan Opioid Response Consortium (NMORC) as a resource for substance use disorder (SUD) and opioid use disorder (OUD). Additionally, Administrator Rose Goick-Saddler participated in a legislative panel on March 25, 2021, to introduce a bipartisan bill sponsored by U.S. Representatives Dan Kildee (D-MI) and Brad Wenstrup (R-OH) - The Rural Behavioral Health Access Act of 2021 - that would ensure that Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) retain important flexibility to provide behavioral health services through telehealth technology. Further information on the actions undertaken are outlined below: Implement a Tele-Behavioral Health Clinic - Secured Small Rural Hospital Improvement Program (SHIP) grant from Michigan Center for Rural Health (RCRH) for implementation; Launched clinic in November 2020 Partner with community organizations to increase mental health awareness by expanding mental health education, training capacity and support for community-driven initiatives - Hosted one (1) Mental Health First Aid training in partnership with the Northern Michigan Opioid Response Consortium; Established partnership with Ascension Brighton Center for Recovery to provide acute Emergency Department (ED) visits for SUD and OUD patients; Partnered with Cathoic Human Services to provide Project ASSERT, a program that helps Emergency Department patients who demonstrate risky alcohol and drug use behavior with access to treatment and the appropriate level of care *Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) - Ascension Standish Hospital achieved its goal to increase awareness of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) in Arenac County by both educating staff and screening Ascension Medical Group (AMG) outpatient clinic patients. Through a collaboration with the Ascension Clinical Professional Development department, a standardized ACEs module for internal education was developed; over 97% of staff have completed the annual module following its launch in 2020. Additionally, by July 2020, 100% of new patients seen at Ascension Standish Family Medicine completed the ACEs Universal Screening, an age-specific questionnaire that provides a score that can be an indicator to the care team that further mental health services may be needed based on current or past experience, and referrals made to the tele-behavioral clinic as appropriate. Further information on the actions undertaken are outlined below: Provide trauma informed care / ACEs educational module to internal staff - Developed standardized ACEs module for internal education; 97% of staff completed the annual module following launch in 2020 Implement ACEs Universal Screening protocol at Ascension Standish Family Medicine - Developed protocol for ACEs screening and referral process for new patients at Ascension Standish Family Medicine; 100% of new patients seen at Ascension Standish Family Medicine completed the ACEs Universal Screening and referrals made as appropriate *Obesity Related Adverse Health Conditions - Ascension Standish Hospital set forth to address obesity related adverse health conditions by focusing on reducing A1C levels for individuals in Arenac County at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. Eight (8) patients participated in Canary Health's Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), an evidence-based lifestyle change program that helps prevent type 2 diabetes, through a partnership with the Michigan Health Improvement Alliance, Inc. (MiHIA). Through March 2020, Ascension Standish Family Medicine providers referred patients to virtual DPP during in-person clinical visits; however, referral and awareness efforts were halted per transition from predominantly in-person clinical visits to virtual due to an operational shift caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In Spring 2021, the Ascension Standish Hospital team re-launched virtual DPP focusing on associates and in-patient population. Unfortunately, notification was received by Canary Health that it was closing its DPP arm of the company; no new registrations were accepted after October 8, 2021, and current participants would be supported through January 31, 2022. Further information on the actions undertaken are outlined below: Provide education to clinical team Ascension Standish Family Medicine on virtual Diabetes Prevention Program - One (1) training session held in October 2019 to teach about the program and how to refer patients Implement virtual Diabetes Prevention Program referral protocol - Referral protocol implemented at Ascension Standish Family Medicine, however, referral and awareness efforts were halted per transition from predominantly in-person clinical visits to virtual due to an operational shift caused by the COVID-19 pandemic; Eight (8) patients participated in Canary Health's Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) *Human Trafficking - Due to delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Ascension Standish Hospital and Ascension St. Joseph Hospital collaborated and intended to host a human trafficking awareness event for Arenac and Iosco Counties residents in spring 2022. The event aimed to increase awareness and encourage action with special focus on parents, school staff, as well as the general community. Ascension Standish Hospital continues to utilize an established protocol to identify, assess, treat and refer victims of Human Trafficking (HT) to supportive community services who present for care in the Emergency Department or who are identified while receiving inpatient services. Additionally, Ascension Standish Hospital has combined efforts with Ascension Southwest Michigan Community Health and other Ascension hospitals throughout Michigan to offer hospital-wide associate education with an Ascension internal MyLearning education module to increase awareness and recognition of the signs and symptoms of Human Trafficking via the lens of Trauma Informed Care, and community resources to support victims. Further information on the actions undertaken are outlined below: Provide human trafficking awareness education to staff - Internal MyLearning education module available focused on the signs and symptoms of Human Trafficking via the lens of Trauma Informed Care; 92% of Standish associates and 100% of providers have completed module The Ascension Standish Hospital's Implementation Strategy for the tax year 2021 CHNA will address the following prioritized needs: *Mental and Behavioral Health, including substance use disorder: Strategy 1.1: Increase awareness, access, and referrals to Project ASSERT (Alcohol & Substance Abuse Services, Education, and Referral to Treatment) for patients who present to Ascension Standish Hospital and Ascension Medical Group outpatient clinics.

Facility , 2 - ASCENSION STANDISH HOSPITAL - PART 2. Child Health and Development, Education, and Income were not selected by Ascension Standish Hospital as prioritized needs in this CHNA cycle. While critically important to overall community health, these specific needs did not meet internally determined criteria that prioritized needs by either continuing or expanding current programs, services and initiatives to steward resources and achieve the greatest community impact. For the areas not chosen, there are other service providers in the community better resourced to address these priorities. Ascension Standish Hospital will work collaboratively with these organizations as appropriate to ensure optimal service coordination and utilization.

Schedule H, Part I, Line 3c factors other than fpg
"IN ADDITION TO FPG, THE ORGANIZATION USES MEDICAL INDIGENCY, ASSET TEST, INSURANCE STATUS AND RESIDENCY AS OTHER FACTORS IN DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY FOR FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE. A Patient may not be eligible for the financial assistance if such Patient is deemed to have sufficient assets to pay pursuant to an ""Asset Test."" The Asset Test involves a substantive assessment of a Patient's ability to pay based on the categories of assets measured in the FAP Application. A Patient with such assets that exceed 250% of such Patient's FPL amount may not be eligible for financial assistance. AN ASSET TEST APPLIES IF A PATIENT HAS ELIGIBLE LIQUID ASSETS THAT EXCEED 250% OF THE PATIENT'S FPG LEVEL FOR CONSIDERATION OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY. LIQUID ASSETS INCLUDE ASSETS THAT CAN BE CONVERTED TO CASH WITHIN 1 YEAR. THESE INCLUDE ITEMS SUCH AS CHECKING ACCOUNTS, SAVINGS ACCOUNTS, TRUST FUNDS AND LUXURY ITEMS SUCH AS RECREATIONAL VEHICLES, BOATS, A SECOND HOME, ETC."
