THE REPORT IDENTFIED THE RISK AND PROTECTIVE FACTORS MOST IN NEED OF ATTENTION IN THE COMMUNITY. BAMC WAS A PARTICIPANT IN THE TRI CITY UNITED WAY COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS AND IN THE MARINETTE COUNTY COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT ASSESSMENT UPDATE. A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THESE INITIATIVES AND OTHER AGENCY RESEARCH EFFORTS ARE IN THE BAY AREA COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT REPORT.THE COUNTY HEALTH RANKINGS DEVELOPED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN AND THE ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON FOUNDATION MEASURE THE HEALTH OF NEARLY ALL COUNTIES IN THE NATION AND RANK THEM WITHIN STATES. THE RANKINGS ARE COMPILED USING COUNTY-LEVEL MEASURES FROM A VARIETY OF NATIONAL AND STATE DATA SOURCES. THESE MEASURES ARE STANDARDIZED AND COMBINED USING SCIENTIFICALLY-INFORMED WEIGHTS. THIS IS EXTREMELY VALUABLE FOR THE BAMC EFFORT, GIVEN THAT OUR MARKET INVOLVES TWO COUNTIES IN TWO DIFFERENT STATES, WITH OFTENTIMES DIFFERENT DATA COLLECTION PROCESSES. THE COUNTY HEALTH RANKINGS MODEL, IDENTIFIED A SET OF MEASURES THAT AFFECT HEALTH FROM BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE. THE MODEL RECOGNIZES THAT WHERE PEOPLE LIVE, WORK, AND PLAY CAN HAVE A PROFOUND IMPACT ON THEIR HEALTH.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11: THE BAY AREA MEDICAL CENTER COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA), CONDUCTED IN 2016 TO EVALUATE THE HEALTH NEEDS OF INDIVIDUALS LIVING IN THE MARINETTE/MENOMINEE MARKET AREA. THE FOLLOWING THREE AREAS WERE DETERMINED TO BE THE HIGHEST PRIORITIES: SUBSTANCE ABUSE, ACCESS TO CARE, AND OBESITY.1. SUBSTANCE ABUSE - BAMC'S EFFORTS IN THIS AREA FOR THE NEXT 3 YEARS WILL BE TO: - CONTINUE TO FINANCIAL SUPPORT THE MAJOR INITIATIVES IN THE COMMUNITY THAT FOCUS ON DRUG ABUSE IN GENERAL AND PRESCRIPTION DRUG ABUSE SPECIFICALLY (THE HEALTH YOUTH COALITION, THE ANTI OPIATE TASK FORCE, AND UNITED WAY ACTION NOW - SUBSTANCE ABUSE TASK FORCE). - CONTINUE TO PROVIDE LEADERSHIP, RESOURCES, AND EXPERTISE IN THE PROGRAMS CURRENTLY SUPPORTED.- BECOME MORE INVOLVED AND FINANCIALLY SUPPORTIVE OF THE HEALTH YOUTH COALITION.- CONTINUE OUR PRESCRIPTION DRUG DROP PROGRAM AND EXPAND COMMUNITY ACCESS TO SAFE DRUG DISPOSAL OPTIONS.- SUPPORT THE TRI CITY HR GROUP'S EMPLOYEE AWARENESS PROGRAM DESIGNED TO BUILD AWARENESS AND EDUCATE EMPLOYEES ABOUT SUBSTANCE ABUSE.- USE MEDICAL STAFF LEADERSHIP TO RAISE AWARENESS AMONG PRESCRIBERS AROUND NEW STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS THAT IMPACT PRESCRIPTION PRACTICES.2. ACCESS TO CARE - BAMC HAS A VARIETY OF PROGRAMS ALREADY IN PLACE TO PROMOTE GREATER ACCESS TO CARE. BAMC'S CHARITABLE MISSION HAS ALWAYS INCLUDED A SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL COMMITMENT TO THE UNDERINSURED AND UNINSURED. ONGOING AGGRESSIVE RECRUITMENT OF PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS AND SPECIALTY CARE PROVIDERS. OUR FINANCIAL COUNSELOR PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT AND BE A RESOURCE TO PATIENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT NEED ASSISTANCE WITH THE INSURANCE ENROLLMENT PROCESS. BAMC PLAYS A KEY ROLE IN PROMOTING FREE AND LOW-COST HEALTH RESOURCES AND SERVICES. WE ANTICIPATE A GREATER NEED FOR COMMUNITY EDUCATION IN LIGHT OF POTENTIAL CHANGES TO THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT AND WHAT THOSE CHANGES COULD MEAN TO CURRENT HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGES. FUTURE INITIATIVES INCLUDE: EXPANDED PROMOTION OF HEALTH EXCHANGE INFORMATION IN LIGHT OF THE POTENTIAL CHANGE TO THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, EXPAND ACCESS TO CARE WITH NEW CLINIC LOCATIONS INTO MARINETTE AND MENOMINEE COUNTY LOCATIONS, AND PROVIDE COMMUNITY EDUCATION ON HOW TO ACCESS HEALTH CARE AND IMPROVE DECISION MAKING SKILLS AMOUNG MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. 3. OBESITY - BAMC LAUNCHED A HEALTH AND WELLNESS SERVICE LINE IN 2010, DEVOTED RESOURCES AND ATTENTION TO OUR EMPLOYEES, EMPLOYERS AND THE COMMUNITY. BAMC WILL CONTINUE TO PROMOTE IT'S ONGOING PROGRAMS LIKE: BIKE SAFETY PROGRAMS, EMPLOYER HEALTH FAIR/SCREENING PROGRAM, BAMC EMPLOYEE PROGRAMS, BAMC WATERFRONT RUN, BAMC MENOMINEE RIVER CENTURY BIKE RIDE, CARING HEARTS WALK, HIGH SCHOOL PHYSICALS AND WEIGHT LOSS PRGRAMS. BAMC WILL CONTINE TO FINANCIALLY SUPPORT SPONSORSHIPS OF AREA RUNS AND WALKS, SCHOOL SYSTEM PHYISCAL EDUCTION PROGRAMS, AND YMCA HEALTHY YOUTH PROGRAMS. FUTURE INITIATIVES INCLUDE PARTNERSHIPS WITH OTHER LOCAL ENTITIES ON OBESITY/EXERCISE PROGRAMS, EXPAND LOCAL HEALTH EVENTS IN THE COMMUNITY BY ADDING ONE ADDITIONAL EVENT PER YEAR, AND FOCUS ON SCHOOL CHILDREN BY PROVIDING EDUCATION TO PROMOTE HEALTH EATING AND LIFESTYLE HABITS.</ExplanationTxt>
