RECOGNIZING ITS VITAL IMPORTANCE IN UNDERSTANDING THE HEALTH NEEDS AND ASSETS OF THE COMMUNITY, BRONSON CONSULTED WITH A RANGE OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICE PROVIDERS THAT REPRESENT THE BROAD INTERESTS OF VAN BUREN COUNTY. BOTH PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DATA WERE COLLECTED AND ANALYZED TO INFORM THIS CHNA. MICHIGAN PUBLIC HEALTH INSTITUTE (MPHI) HIGHLIGHTED COMMUNITY VOICE THROUGH ANALYSIS OF KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS, COMMUNITY SURVEY RESULTS, AND RECENT COMMUNITY REPORTS AND ASSESSMENTS. W.E.

THE ADVISORY GROUP AND CONTRIBUTING ORGANIZATIONS GATHERED TO REVIEW DATA COLLECTED THROUGH THE CHNA PROCESS. THE GROUP WAS SENT A DATA SUMMARY DOCUMENT THAT INCLUDED THE MOST COMMONLY IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS AND FINDINGS FROM RECENT COMMUNITY REPORTS AND ASSESSMENTS, KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS, COMMUNITY SURVEY RESULTS, AND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH INDICATOR DATA. DURING THE PRIORITIZATION MEETING, THE GROUP REFLECTED ON THE DATA AND IDENTIFIED HEALTH NEEDS. FACILITATORS THEN ASKED THE GROUP TO RATE EACH NEED ON THREE LIKERT SCALES: FEASIBILITY OF POSSIBLE INTERVENTIONS, LEVEL OF DISPARITIES IN HEALTH OUTCOMES, AND URGENCY TO ADDRESS. THE CORE WORKGROUP MET TO DISCUSS THE RESULTS OF THE PRIORITIZATION MEETING AND CONSIDERED ALL SUGGESTIONS FROM THE ADVISORY GROUP. PRIORITIZATION OF THOSE NEEDS RESULTED IN FOUR CATEGORIES OF NEED WITH SPECIFIC NEEDS LISTED BELOW: SYSTEMS NAVIGATION (NAVIGATING REFERRALS, PROXIMITY OF SERVICES AND CARE, HIGH COST OF CARE, SHORTAGE OF HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS AND SUPPORTING STAFF, LACK OF CONNECTION TO COMMUNITY RESOURCES), BEHAVIORAL HEALTH (MENTAL HEALTH AND COVID-19 IMPACTS, SUBSTANCE MISUSE, LACK OF CONNECTEDNESS AMONG COMMUNITY MEMBERS), SYSTEMIC RACISM AND DISCRIMINATION (RACISM, AGISM, CLASSISM, AND DISCRIMINATION BASED ON GENDER AND SEXUAL ORIENTATION), AND LIVING CONDITIONS (FOOD INSECURITY, INCOME AND POVERTY, HOUSING).

UPJOHN INSTITUTE FOR EMPLOYMENT RESEARCH BRONSON LAKEVIEW HOSPITAL PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11: BRONSON IS ADDRESSING THE SIGNFICANT NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN ITS 2022 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT BY UPDATING 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) WILL CONTINUE TO FOCUS ITS EFFORTS UPSTREAM, ACKNOWLEDGING THE ROOT CAUSES OF BEHAVIORS, DEATH, AND DISEASE. THE CHIP WILL BUILD UPON THE PROGRESS OF THE 2020-2022 CHIP; HOWEVER, IT WILL ALSO ADDRESS ADDITIONAL NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE 2022 CHNA. 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, BREAST FEEDING 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 BRONSON LAKEVIEW HOSPITAL PART V, SECTION B, LINE 13B: THE ORGANIZATION USES THE FOLLOWING FPL TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY FOR PROVIDING DISCOUNTED CARE TO LOW INCOME INDIVIDUALS:200% OR BELOW OF FPL IS ENTITLED TO 100% REDUCTION250% OF FPL IS ENTITLED TO A 90% REDUCTION300% OF FPL IS ENTITLED TO A 80% REDUCTION350% OF FPL IS ENTITLED TO A 75% REDUCTION BRONSON LAKEVIEW HOSPITAL PART V, SECTION B, LINE 20E: THE HOSPITAL ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ALL INDIVIDUALS ARE NOT EQUALLY CAPABLE OF PAYING FOR HEALTHCARE SERVICES, EITHER BY THEMSELVES OR THROUGH A THIRD PARTY INSURANCE CARRIER.
