Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.

Endowment funds are designated for purposes that align within this organization's exempt purpose.

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

Northern Light Health, its hospitals, and certain other affiliates have been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be tax-exempt charitable organizations as described in Section 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and, accordingly, are exempt from federal income taxes on related income pursuant to Section 501(a) of the Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for these organizations.Tax-exempt charitable organizations could be required to record an obligation for income taxes as the result of a tax position they have historically taken on various tax exposure items including unrelated business income or tax status. Under guidance issued by FASB, assets and liabilities are established for uncertain tax positions taken or positions expected to be taken in income tax returns when such positions are judged to not meet the more-likely-than-not threshold, based upon the technical merits of the position. Estimated interest and penalties, if applicable, related to uncertain tax positions are included as a component of income tax expense. The Northern Light Health has evaluated its tax position taken or expected to be taken on income tax returns and concluded the impact to be not material.Certain of the Northern Light Health's affiliates are taxable entities. Deferred taxes related to these entities are based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse. The deferred tax assets and liabilities for these entities are not material.

Facility: Northern Light Mercy Hospital - Part V, Section B, Line 5	The Maine Shared CHNA research team conducted a statewide qualitative assessment among stakeholders to identify and prioritize significant health issues in communities across the state. The assessment, coordinated with the Maine CDC, engaged public health expertise throughout the process. Community outreach was conducted between September 2018 and January 2019. Community forums with residents and service providers were held in the county. All forms of engagement included public forums and key informant interviews. The purpose of this outreach was to gather feedback on data and to identify health priorities, community assets, and gaps in resources to be used in health improvement planning. Local forums were conducted in partnership with the Maine CDC to solicit input from individuals representing populations with health disparities including medically underserved, low-income, or minority populations. The following organizations attended the October 4 and 11, 2018 Cumberland County Shared CHNA Community Engagement Forum and provided valuable feedback on the Maine Shared CHNA.Persons representing broad interests of the community who were consulted during the engagement process (the following list was extracted from the Cumberland County CHNA report, pages 28-30): Acadia Healthcare, Africans for Improved Access, Allons Health, Alzheimers Association, American Cancer Society, Birch Lane Strategies/ CDPHC, Bridgton Academy, Bridgton Community Center, Bridgton Hospital, Bridgton Hospital Physicians Group, Bridgton Lake Region Rotary Club, Bridgton Public Library, Cardiac activist, speaker, author of, An Arrow through the Heart, Catholic Charities Maine, Center for Grieving Children, Center for Tobacco Independence/MaineHealth, Central Maine HealthCare, System Director, Primary Care, Central Maine Medical Group, City of Portland Public Health Department, City of South Portland, Community Advocate, Community Health Educator, Community Dental, Community Members, Crooked River Counseling, Cross Cultural Consulting Group, Cumberland County Food Security Council, Cumberland Public Health District, Cutler Research Institute, USM Muskie School, Day One, First Congregational Church of Bridgton, Frannie Peabody Center, Gateway Community Services, Good Shepherd Food Bank, Greater Portland Health, Greater Portland Council of Governments, Hanley Leadership Center, Harry E.

Facility: Northern Light Mercy Hospital - Part V, Section B, Line 6a	The Maine Shared CHNA was conducted through a collaborative effort among Maines four largest health-care systems Central Maine Healthcare, Northern Light Health (legal name Eastern Maine Healthcare Systems), MaineGeneral Health, MaineHealth and the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention, an office of the Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Northern Light Health member organizations participating in the Shared CHNA included Acadia Hospital, AR Gould Hospital, Blue Hill Hospital, CA Dean Hospital, Eastern Maine Medical Center, Inland Hospital, Maine Coast Hospital, Mayo Hospital, Mercy Hospital, and Sebasticook Valley Hospital.
Facility: Northern Light Mercy Hospital - Part V, Section B, Line 11	The data gathered from the 2019 Shared Community Health Needs Assessment (Shared CHNA) informed Northern Light Mercy Hospitals Community Health Strategy (Implementation Strategy) developed with input from community stakeholders including those who serve priority populations, the local Public Health District Liaison, local business leaders, and community advocates. Priorities were selected after weighing the severity of each priority area, availability of known and effective interventions, determination that the priority area was un-addressed or under-addressed, and community collaborations underway with Mercy Hospital. A hospital task force considered the data and identified areas of significant need including priority concerns, intended actions to address the need, programs and resource allocation, planned collaborations, and population of focus. The implementation strategy was presented and adopted by the hospitals governing board. Northern Light Mercy Hospital identified five priority areas of focus addressing the significant needs identified in its 2019 CHNA as follows:Social determinants of healthActions taken by Mercy Hospital to address this priority in FY21: Northern Light Mercy Hospital participated in the Northern Light Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) system workgroup, which met bi-weekly through November 2020. The workgroup suspended meetings after this date to accommodate new system-level SDOH efforts. In January 2021, Northern Light activated four critical path project teams to plan and operationalize a system approach to identifying patients with social health needs. These groups oversaw standardization of the Cerner Social History Tool in the medical record, which will ensure patient demographics and health history are documented in a consistent fashion across all Northern Light member hospitals. The existing Food Insecurity form in Cerner was then updated to include six additional evidence-based questions to assess patients housing status and safety, transportation, utilities, daily activities, and isolation. The updated screening form aligns with most of the recommendations developed by the SDOH workgroup members. Both the SDOH Screening form and the updated Social History Tool went live in Cerner on 5/18/21 and are now available for use. Additional efforts during this year included foundational work to operationalize the Social Vulnerability Index and developing recommendations for implementation of a social care network platform (called Aunt Bertha). These additional Cerner functions are slated to go live in fiscal year 2022 (FY22) and will provide Northern Light with enhanced ability to understand social needs by populations and geographic location and provide seamless patient referrals to community-based organizations for assistance with social needs. Moving forward, the SDOH workgroup will be re-established in FY22 as the SDOH Team and report to Northern Lights Quality Council and will be responsible for developing, implementing, monitoring, and evaluating the effectiveness of the systems implementation of SDOH screening and intervention.Substance useActions taken by Mercy Hospital to address this priority in FY21: Northern Light Mercy Hospital advanced internal as well as external efforts to allow seamless access to Medication Assisted Treatment. These efforts include the training for Mercy employed providers and planned transition of prescribing to primary care physicians. This strategy also includes the expansion of McAuley Residence in Bangor with a third site planned for Mercy Hospitals campus redevelopment, participation in the MaineMOM effort for mothers with opioid use disorder, and the continued efforts of the Greater Portland Addiction Collaborative.Access to careActions taken by Mercy Hospital to address this priority in FY21: Northern Light Mercy Hospital provided onsite universal COVID-19 testing and vaccination for vulnerable persons. This required clinical and non-clinical staff to travel to homeless shelters, Cumberland County Jail, housing authority developments, and other area low-income elderly housing facilities to offer both testing and vaccination. Mercy also launched a mass vaccination clinic at the Portland Exposition Building with special attention to New Mainers. This required the engagement of informal and formal leaders, the creating of multiple multilingual videos to promote vaccination, and the development of alternative pathways to registration and scheduling vaccination appointments.Mental healthActions taken by Mercy Hospital to address this priority in FY21: Northern Light Mercy Hospital delivered multiple trainings to clinical teams, community, and emergency medical services (EMS) for increased understanding of patients with co-occurring disorders. A panel of women with polysubstance use disorder, who were pregnant or post-partum was held on January 21st for clinical teams. A presentation by Sadie Knott, PMHNP and lead provider for medication-assisted treatment (MAT) around prevalent street drugs was delivered on May 19th. Mercys two Recovery Coaches have started to attend staff meetings to provide education around lived experience and opportunity for their support of hospitalized patients and those in the outpatient practices.Older adult health/healthy agingActions taken by Mercy Hospital to address this priority in FY21: Northern Light Mercy Hospital delivered four presentations to increase awareness of end of life and palliative care options.Additional information related to actions taken by Northern Light Mercy Hospital on the above priorities can be found in their FY21 Progress Report to Our Community at https://northernlighthealth.org/2019-Community-Health-Strategy. Northern Light Mercy Hospital considered all priorities identified in the Shared CHNA, as well as other sources, through an extensive review process. Northern Light Mercy Hospital has opted to work on all top five priorities as identified in the Shared CHNA.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description	OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Charity care provided (at cost): 6,813 persons served OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Please see the following excerpt from the Northern Light Health Annual Report 2021 to the Community for details of community benefit projects at NLH members:Community partnershipsTeamworkThe greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members." - Coretta Scott King These words strongly resonate when we look across our Northern Light Health community. If we measure a community's greatness by the compassionate actions of its members, then we are truly surrounded by greatness and there is much to celebrate. Our culture of caring begins with caring for one another and extends to the care we deliver to people across Maine in the many communities we serve. But if the pandemic has taught us anything, it's that compassion is evident not only in our excellent staff and community members but also in our community partners. Your generosity and innovation have helped extend our reach in living up to our promise to make healthcare work for the people we serve. Our list of community heroes is long, and this Annual Report only features a handful of the people and organizations who have made an important difference during a challenging time. We hope you find these stories as empowering and inspirational as we do.Timothy J. Dentry, MBA President & CEO Northern Light HealthKathy Corey Board ChairNorthern Light HealthA vaccine for everyone AccessOn a sunny July day, a brightly colored RV emblazoned with the faces of children from across the world sits parked outside the Luca Caf in Arundel. The Luca Caf is a quaint seasonal restaurant with Asian-inspired food that has covered outdoor seating and picnic tables. Standing beside some tables and folding chairs in front of the RV, Peggy Akers, RN, and Mary Robbins, RN, two Northern Light Home Care & Hospice nurses, administer doses of the COVID-19 vaccine to a diverse and willing group of peoplea group which might not have been vaccinated if not for the convenience of this mobile clinic and all the community partners that made it possible. There are populations that we are just not reaching. People who are undocumented, who would feel unsafe coming to a mass vaccination clinic where they might otherwise be asked to present identification or insurance information. We as an organization make it our mission that the only requirements for getting vaccinated are, are you a human being and do you want to be vaccinated? shares Robbins.Their partners for this clinic are Maine Community Action Partners, the New England Arab American Organization, Maine Association for New Americans, Maine Access Immigrant Network (MAIN), and the Maine Department of Health and Human Services COVID-19 Community Support Team. Chanbopha (Chan) Himm is also a member of the support team and co-founder of the Cambodian Community Association and Unified Asian Communities. Her mission is to help get people in underserved populations vaccinated. As some Asian Americans show up, she speaks with them in their native language and offers assurances. She has a welcoming smile and charisma, which seems to make her a natural fit for this kind of work. "They couldn't ask for a better place to get vaccinated," explains Himm, "because they've got the nurses here that care so much about them. And then they've got their cultural brokersthe ones doing the translations, the community leaders standing right behind them and letting them know that they're going to be okay. What more can someone ask for?" Himm is not just offering lip service when she compliments the Northern Light Home Care & Hospice nurses doing the clinics. Both Akers and Robbins have been doing this kind of work for a long time with community partners and have earned praise for their compassion and sensitivity. "I feel so lucky in a way to be part of this journey. Doing these vaccines has just been such a gift," shares Akers.If you would like to learn more about the COVID-19 vaccine or get vaccinated, please visit https://covid.northernlighthealth.org/Good health is good businessResiliencyA light summer breeze comes off the Union River as customers gather on picnic tables shaded by umbrellas on the lawn outside the Union River Lobster Pot restaurant in Ellsworth. They are hoisting glasses of cold draft beer as servers carry out plates piled high with steamed clams and boiled lobster garnished with leafy green parsley and lemon wedges. To restaurant owner Brian Langley, the summer of 2021 looks a lot different than the summer of 2020. It's a lot closer to normal, at least in terms of business volume. "We've seen a real influx of customers looking to escape to Maine from wherever they were in the country. They had to get out, and they wanted to go someplace safe. Maine was the epitome of both of those things, says Langley.But as normal as things look, it was a challenge to get here. Like many business owners, Langley was dealing with so many unknowns. How could he keep employees and customers safe from COVID-19? How could he overcome supply chain issues, staffing shortages, social distancing requirements, and government mandates? For these questions and more, Langley turned to Northern Light Health which had started offering business-to-business webinars via the Zoom video conferencing portal. "We call these webinars Good Health is Good Business," explains Carrie Arsenault, MBA, president of Northern Light Beacon Health, which spearheads the webinar series. "We bring experts together from across Northern Light Health and share resources and advice on how to return to business safely for employees, visitors, and customers." As a large employer dealing directly with COVID-19, Northern Light Health had the expertise and resources that business owners needed, with experts in infection prevention, supply chain, finance, and behavioral health, to name a few. "One of the reasons you found me every two weeks watching the webinars was to get an idea of what we would be facing, explains Langley. I looked for trusted information, and there you had it from the horse's mouth. You could ask the doctors and other experts direct questions, and if they didn't know something they acknowledged that. It wasn't curated, it was objective and unbiased" Langley explains. A planning group meets regularly to discuss topics, create presentations, and book panelists. James Jarvis, MD, FAAFP, Physician Leader, Incident Command, Northern Light Health, is a frequent panelist because of his expertise in the COVID-19 response. "Initially, I think they just wanted updates on what healthcare was doing and what was going on in our communities in relation to COVID-19. We realized that we needed to be a voice of science and reason to help mitigate fear. There was so much unknown in the beginning part of this pandemic that we felt an obligation to inform our businesses and communities of what we knew and what we thought was going to happen," explains Dr. Jarvis. Another panelist, Yemaya St. Clair, LCPC, counselor, Northern Light Work Force EAP, was brought in to offer mental health advice to business owners. Many recognized that their employees, and in some cases customers, were struggling to cope with the new normal of the pandemic. "Early on, when the masking mandates went into effect, we provided coaching around de-escalation, to help people stay calm. We also provided resiliency training and ways to help manage stress," shares St. Clair. For Brian Langley, valuable advice helped him navigate an uncertain time, helped his employees cope, and provided current information to help adapt his business. He used the pandemic as an opportunity to try new menu items and offerings, such as outdoor seating. Eventually, Langley took what he learned and shared it with other business owners as a webinar panelist. "What can I do that's different, and how do I survive? I think that's what I wanted to share," explains Langley. Arsenault says Northern Light Beacon Health will continue offering the webinars as long as there is a community need. "We are thrilled to be part of the solution to create healthy employees, healthy businesses and, as a result, healthy communities."Ladders of opportunityPart 1 DiversityWhen Ngozi Christopher, RN, BSN, first started working at Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center in 2017, she had already worked as a nurse for several years in Nigeria. She had clinical experience and a nursing education but didn't know how steep the cultural curve would be. She remembers one particularly difficult exchange with a patient's wife who was mad at Ngozi because she wouldn't make constant eye contact with her or her husband. "In Nigeria, when you're talking to an elder, you're not supposed to look eye-to-eye because thats a sign of rudeness," Ngozi explains. She now understands that generally, eye contact is important in western culture. Ngozi was recruited to work at
