PART V, SECTION B, LINE 13H	ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ALL THE HOSPITALS LISTED IN PART V, SECTION A OF THIS SCHEDULE H ARE PART OF THE INTEGRATED DELIVERY SYSTEM NAMED ALLEGHENY HEALTH NETWORK. All hospitals have revised their financial assistance policy to conform to a uniform Allegheny Health Network financial assistance policy, the last being Westfield Memorial Hospital which made the adoption on 1/1/2018. ALLEGHENY HEALTH NETWORK ENHANCED ITS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY WITH A PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY PROGRAM THAT ENABLES AHN TO MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION ON THE FINANCIAL NEED OF PATIENTS UTILIZING THE BEST ESTIMATES AVAILABLE IN THE ABSENCE OF INFORMATION PROVIDED DIRECTLY BY THE PATIENT. THE HEALTH SYSTEM UTILIZES A HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY-RECOGNIZED MODEL THAT INCORPORATES PUBLIC RECORD DATA TO CALCULATE A SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL CAPACITY SCORE. THE ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY IS DESIGNED TO ASSESS EACH PATIENT TO THE SAME STANDARDS AND IT IS CALIBRATED AGAINST HISTORICAL APPROVALS FOR AHN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE TRADITIONAL APPLICATION PROCESS. THE ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY IS DEPLOYED PRIOR TO BAD DEBT ASSIGNMENT AFTER ALL OTHER ELIGIBILITY AND PAYMENT SOURCES HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED. THIS ALLOWS AHN TO SCREEN ALL PATIENTS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PRIOR TO PURSUING ANY EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION ACTIONS. THE DATA RETURNED FROM THIS ELECTRONIC ELIGIBILITY REVIEW WILL CONSTITUTE ADEQUATE DOCUMENTATION OF FINANCIAL NEED UNDER OUR POLICY. WHEN ELECTRONIC ENROLLMENT IS USED AS THE BASIS FOR PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY, THE PATIENT IS NOTIFIED OF THE DETERMINATION AND THE HIGHEST DISCOUNT OF FULL FREE CARE IS GRANTED FOR ELIGIBLE SERVICES FOR RETROSPECTIVE DATES OF SERVICE ONLY.

Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDesc	ExplanationExplanationTxt
ELIGIBILITY FOR FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE	PART I, LINE 3C Allegheny Health Networks (AHN) Financial Assistance Policy states the criteria for determining patients eligibility for free or discounted care. Patients who meet the criteria as established in the policy will be eligible for financial assistance including free or discounted care. Patients must be both a citizen of the United States of America and a resident of Pennsylvania. Charity care is reserved for Pennsylvania residents because they are paying the Pennsylvania State and local taxes that support many health care services for the States citizens. Similarly, for United States of America citizens paying for federal taxes, AHN would expect that out-of-state patients who would qualify for AHN Charity Care based on their financial circumstances should receive medical care and Charity Care privileges in their state of residency. International patients or unauthorized immigrants may qualify for Charity Care if they are eligible for Medicaid. There are special circumstances for out-of-state and international patients (e.g., Auto accident, emergent illness) under which they would qualify for Charity Care. The patient/guarantor must be able to demonstrate a good faith effort in having applied for and complied with available affordable healthcare benefit alternatives (e.g., Medicaid eligibility and other ACA subsidized healthcare benefit programs), or provide evidence that coverage for Medicaid or other programs would not be granted before becoming eligible for Charity Care. The patient must submit a completed application for Charity Care within the application period. AHN will make reasonable efforts to determine whether an individual is eligible for outside assistance before engaging an extraordinary collection action (ECAS) against the individual. Reasonable efforts for purposes of meeting these requirements include, a notification period and an application period. The notification period is the period in which AHN must notify an individual about this policy, and begins on the date care is provided to the individual and ends on the 120th day after AHN provides the patient with the first billing statement for the care. If the individual has failed to submit an application by the end of the notification period, AHN may engage in extraordinary collection actions against the individual. However, AHN will accept and process applications submitted by an individual during the longer application period that ends on the 240th day after AHN provides the individual with the first billing statement for the care. Patients who fail to submit a complete application or fail to return the application including supporting documentation after 240 days may be denied due to failure to comply. Coverage by Charity Care is limited to basic medical care, and will only apply to emergency and other medically necessary services. Charity Care will not be available to a patient that refuses discharge and incurs additional charges that are considered medically unnecessary. Charity Care discounts apply only to drugs that are administered during an inpatient stay or outpatient service. These discounts do not apply to any other drugs or mail order prescriptions. Charity Care will not apply to services that are covered by an insurance carrier that has denied services due to litigation, lack of cooperation from the patient or erroneous information from the patient. Patients who refuse to use insurance options available to them will not be eligible for Charity Care. Charity Care will not apply to patients/guarantors who have not exhausted all sources of insurance payment (e.g.: Medicare lifetime reserve days). Pension accounts are excluded. An approved Charity Care application will cover applicable services provided to the patient from 180 days preceding to 180 days following the date on which the application is approved. Patients/Guarantors must reapply for ongoing Charity Care every 180 days. Charity Care discounts apply to patient liability amounts only, and no insurance amounts will be considered. Approved amounts may be a result of the following: (1) patient does not have medical assistance or adequate insurance coverage; (2) patient has exhausted his/her insurance benefits (e.g., exceeded maximum covered days/amount, exceeded Medicares lifetime reserve days); (3) patient has a primary insurance carrier who has rendered payment but a secondary liability exists for which he/she does not have coverage; (4) patient is considered indigent due to the amount of medical debt incurred in comparison to the patients financial circumstances; (5) deceased patients estate will exhaust prior to payment of the full patient balance; (6) patient has provided a formal bankruptcy judgment that impacts the date on which services were provided along with undated income/asset information; (7) patient is homeless or has proven to be a resident of a homeless shelter; (8) patient has provided a formal affidavit or documentation regarding income/asset information and/or homeless status that qualifies the patient for Charity Care; or (9) the patient has Medicaid part pay balances and qualifies for Charity Care. If the patient and/or guarantors income falls between 100-200% of the federal poverty guidelines, all patient liability balances will be forgiven at 100%. Patients that are documented as homeless are also considered at the 100% rate. The patients gross household income for the current and previous year may not exceed two times the Poverty Income Guidelines, which are published annually in the Federal Register by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (most current years data will be considered). Liquid assets (cash, checking, savings, money market accounts, matured certificates of deposit, mutual funds, and bonds that may be cashed without penalty and bonds that may be cashed without penalty and other easily convertible investments) held by the patient or guarantor in excess of $10,000 must be applied to the indebtedness owed to AHN prior to consideration for a financial assistance adjustment. Retirement funds, the primary residence, and primary vehicle will not be included as part of the asset test. Any secondary residence or secondary vehicle will be considered and evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Hardship documentation may be required (i.e., cases with excessive medications, terminal illness or multiple hospitalizations). For a patient that exceeds 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines and whose account balance exceeds 25% of the annual household income, AHN may claim the excess balance as a hardship provided that the patient provides documentation of income, or income can be derived from outside database sources.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND COMMUNITY BENEFIT BY ENTITY	PART I, LINE 7 THIS RETURN REPORTS THE GROUP COMBINED RESPONSE FOR THE TABLE IN PART I, LINE 7. THE HOSPITAL ORGANIZATIONS REPORTED THE FOLLOWING SEPARATE NET COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE: ALLE-KISKI MEDICAL CENTER: $10,088,267 CANONSBURG GENERAL HOSPITAL: $3,091,035 JEFFERSON REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER: $18,052,028 SAINT VINCENT HEALTH CENTER: $14,596,836 WESTFIELD MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, INC.: $819,103 WEST PENN ALLEGHENY HEALTH SYSTEM, INC.: $142,637,358 TOTAL NET COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE: $189,284,627
FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE BUDGET	Part 1, Line 5b Westfield Memorial Hosptial's financial assistance expenses did not exceed the budgeted amount. BAD DEBT EXPENSE REMOVED PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN F Bad debt was removed from total functional expenses as reported in Part IX of Form 990 in order to compute the percentages for Column F of Line 7.
BAD DEBT	PART III, SECTION A, LINE 2, 3, AND 4 THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE ISSUED ON A CONSOLIDATED BASIS AND INCLUDE ENTITIES OTHER THAN THOSE INCLUDED IN THIS FILING. THEREFORE, THE FOOTNOTE REGARDING BAD DEBT IS NOT RELEVANT TO THIS RETURN. THE FIGURE REFLECTED ON LINE 2 IS THE SUMMATION OF ALL BAD DEBT EXPENSE FOR THE HOSPITALS INCLUDED IN SCHEDULE H. BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS ACCOUNTED FOR ON A CHARGE BASIS IN OUR INTERNAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Medicare Part III, Section B, Line 8 Westfield Memorial Hospital uses the cost to charge method to determine the amount of Medicare allowable costs of care relating to revenue payments.
SHORTFALL TREATMENT AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT	PART III, SECTION B, LINE 8 WE RECEIVE OVERALL REIMBURSEMENT FROM MEDICARE LESS THAN THE COST OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED. AS SUCH, WE CONSIDER THE SHORTFALL A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THE SOURCE USED TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON LINE 6 IS THE COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM. For 2017, Westfield Memorial Hospital used the cost-to-charge ratio methodology to determine the amount reported on Line 6.
WRITTEN DEBT COLLECTION POLICY	PART III, SECTION C, LINE 9B PATIENTS THAT QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ARE PROVIDED WITH AN APPROVAL LETTER WITH THE EFFECTIVE DATES FOR THE ASSISTANCE. AT ANY TIME THE INDIVIDUAL PRESENTS FOR SERVICES WITHIN A 90 DAY SPAN OF APPROVAL, THEY SHOW THE LETTER AND WILL BE REGISTERED AS A CHARITY CARE CASE. CHARITY CARE CASES ARE DESIGNATED IN THE INTERNAL COMPUTERIZED SYSTEMS WITH UNIQUE PLAN CODES THAT PREVENT BILLING TO THE PATIENT. REPORTS ARE RUN TO CAPTURE THE PATIENT ACCOUNTS REGISTERED WITH THE CHARITY CARE PLAN CODES SO THEY CAN BE WRITTEN OFF TO CHARITY CARE. IN AN UNCERTAIN ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT, WMH FINANCIAL COUNSELORS REMAIN COMMITTED TO ASSISTING THOSE IN OUR COMMUNITY WHO ARE UNABLE TO AFFORD THEIR MEDICAL EXPENSE, YET SEEK EXPERT CARE. THE FINANCIAL COUNSELORS WORK WITH PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES TO HELP THEM QUALIFY FOR THE COMMUNITY CARE PROGRAMS, ANSWERING THEIR QUESTIONS AND HELPING THEM THROUGH THE ENROLLMENT PROCESS. COMMUNITY CARE INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE IN THE WMH COMMUNITY CARE BROCHURE OR VISIT THE WEBSITE AT WWW.AHN.ORG. FOR PATIENTS WHO RECEIVE BILLS IN THE MAIL FOLLOWING THEIR TREATMENT, THE COMMUNITY CARE PROGRAM IS INTRODUCED ON THE BOTTOM OF THEIR BILL WITH THE APPROPRIATE CONTACT INFORMATION. FINANCIAL ADVISORS ARE AVAILABLE WEEKDAYS AND ARE CONVIENTLY LOCATED NEXT TO PATIENT REGISTRATION. IT IS OUR POLICY NOT TO PURSUE COLLECTION PRACTICES AGAINST PATIENTS KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE OR OTHER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT	PART VI, LINE 2 IN ADDITION TO THE FORMAL CHNA, HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT AND STAFF UTILIZE MULTIPLE STRATEGIES TO CONTINUALLY MONITOR AND ASSESS THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES.

THE HOSPITAL ALSO ACTS ON SURVEY RESULTS RECEIVED FROM PATIENTS AND THE PATIENT FAMILIES AS WELL AS BEING CONNECTED TO WORLD-WIDE, NATIONAL AND LOCAL HEALTH TRENDS AND NEEDS AND ACTING ACCORDINGLY TO ENSURE OUR PATIENTS HAVE THE BEST CARE AVAILABLE TO THEM.
PATIENT EDUCATION FOR ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE	PART VI, LINE 3 Allegheny Health Network (AHN) displays signage in various patient admission, registration, and emergency department areas that alert patients to the availability of a Financial Assistance Program and contact information for the office responsible for the Financial Assistance Program. During the pre-service process, patients are evaluated to determine financial assistance options. Each hospital offers the Financial Assistance Program, which consists of application assistance for governmental eligibility, charity care application completion and submission support, as well as financial assistance for the uninsured. AHNs Financial Assistance Policy and application for financial assistance are available at each hospital, and each hospital also provides on-site support through Financial Counselors, who are available to work with patients. Financial Counselors work directly with the patients to determine eligibility for financial assistance, as well as to provide guidance to patients regarding Medical Assistance eligibility. Both weekday and weekend coverage is available to the patients, as well as field support needed for post-discharge follow up needed for financial assistance application submission. The above support is available at no charge to the patient. Information about AHNs Financial Assistance Program is also communicated through brochures that are available in the registration departments that explain the Programs. The brochures include contact information for the office responsible for assisting patients with financial assistance determinations. The back of the patient statement includes a section regarding the Financial Assistance Program, and contact information for the office responsible for administering the Financial Assistance Program is listed there as well. WESTFIELD MEMORIAL HOSPITAL: INFORMING THE PUBLIC THAT CHARITY CARE IS AVAILABLE IS AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT OF OUR CHARITY CARE PROGRAM AND WMH CONTINUOUSLY STRIVES TO IMPROVE ITS COMMUNICATIONS WITH PATIENTS ON THE AVAILABILITY OF CHARITY CARE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHARITY CARE POLICY. A SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF THE CHARITY CARE POLICY IS AVAILABLE IN PATIENT REGISTRATION AREAS AND FROM FINANCIAL COUNSELORS WHO ARE PRESENT ON-SITE TO ASSIST PATIENTS IN QUALIFYING FOR GOVERNMENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS AND CHARITY CARE.

THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS ARE OPEN TO ALL INDIVIDUALS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY, AND PROVIDE SPECIALIZED, LIFE-SAVING CARE TO ALL WHO SEEK IT, REGARDLESS OF A PATIENTS RACE, CREED, GENDER, NATIONAL ORIGIN, PHYSICAL OR MENTAL DISABILITY, OR ABILITY TO PAY. ADDITIONALLY, THE HOSPITALS AND CLINICS OF AHN SUPPORT A BROAD ARRAY OF CHARITABLE SERVICES AND PROGRAMS TO THE COMMUNITY BY PROVIDING SUBSIDIZED HEALTH CARE; SPONSORING COMMUNITY EVENTS (HEALTH FAIRS, CANCER SCREENINGS, WALKS, EDUCATIONAL SEMINARS, BENEFITS SEMINARS, SUPPORT GROUPS); AND MAKING CHARITABLE DONATIONS. THE SERVICES BENEFIT CHILDREN AND TEENS, ADULTS AND SENIORS, PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES, AND THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE. SOME OF THOSE SERVICES AND INITIATIVES INCLUDE: THE AHN POSITIVE HEALTH CLINIC; THE BRADDOCK URGENT CARE CENTER; FREE CANCER SCREENINGS; A MEDICAL RESPITE PROGRAM; THE OPEN HEART SURGERY OBSERVATION PROGRAM; THE PERINATAL HOPE PROGRAM; AND MORE. (FOR ADDITIONAL DETAIL, SEE SCHEDULE O.) IN 2015, AS REQUIRED BY THE PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, AHN EMBARKED ON A COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) TO COLLECT HEALTH AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC DATA TO DETERMINE THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ACROSS AHNS WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA SERVICE FOOTPRINT. IN TAKING A SYSTEM-WIDE APPROACH TO COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT, AHN SOUGHT TO IDENTIFY REGIONAL HEALTH TRENDS AND UNIQUE DISPARITIES WITHIN HOSPITAL SERVICE AREAS. SYSTEM-WIDE PRIORITIES WERE DEVELOPED TO DELEGATE RESOURCES ACROSS THE SYSTEM TO IMPACT THE REGIONS MOST PRESSING HEALTH NEEDS, WHILE HOSPITAL-SPECIFIC STRATEGIES WERE OUTLINED TO GUIDE LOCAL EFFORTS AND COLLABORATION WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO ADDRESS THOSE PRIORITIZED NEEDS. BECAUSE NOT-FOR-PROFIT HOSPITALS ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT EVERY THREE YEARS, IN EARLY 2018, AHN RE-LAUNCHED ITS CHNA TASK FORCE AND IS PRESENTLY REEVALUATING THE MOST PRESSING HEALTH NEEDS IN THE MANY COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. (FOR ADDITIONAL DETAIL, SEE SCHEDULE O.) OTHER INITIATIVES THAT IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF THE MANY COMMUNITIES SERVED BY AHN INCLUDE: -HEALTHY FOOD CENTER: A FIRST OF ITS KIND IN THE REGION, AHNS NEW HEALTHY FOOD CENTER ACTS AS A "FOOD PHARMACY" WHERE PATIENTS WHO LACK ACCESS TO FOOD CAN RECEIVE NUTRITIOUS FOOD ITEMS, EDUCATION ON DISEASE-SPECIFIC DIETS, AND ADDITIONAL SERVICES FOR OTHER SOCIAL CHALLENGES THEY MIGHT FACE. ACCORDING TO THE GREATER PITTSBURGH COMMUNITY FOOD BANK, A PARTNER OF THE HEALTHY FOOD CENTER, FOOD INSECURITY AFFECTS MORE THAN 350,000 PEOPLE OR ONE IN SEVEN ADULTS IN THE PITTSBURGH REGION. FOOD INSECURITY REFERS TO A LACK OF AVAILABLE FINANCIAL RESOURCES FOR NUTRITIONALLY-ADEQUATE FOOD SUCH AS FRUITS, VEGETABLES, LEAN PROTEINS AND WHOLE GRAINS. THE HEALTHY FOOD CENTER IS PILOTING ITS PROGRAM AMONG PATIENTS WITH DIABETES WHO ARE SCREENED BY THEIR DOCTOR AS BEING FOOD INSECURE. PATIENTS RECEIVE A REFERRAL TO THE HEALTHY FOOD CENTER WHERE THEY INITIALLY MEET WITH AN ONSITE DIETITIAN TO DISCUSS THEIR DIETARY NEEDS BASED ON THEIR CONDITION. AFTER SHOPPING AT THE CENTER FOR THE RECOMMENDED FOOD ITEMS, PATIENTS GO HOME WITH TWO TO THREE DAYS WORTH OF FOOD FOR ALL MEMBERS OF THEIR HOUSEHOLD. -HEALTHCARE@HOME: ALLEGHENY HEALTH NETWORK MAKES IT EASIER FOR PATIENTS TO ACCESS A FULL RANGE OF CUSTOMIZED HEALTHCARE SERVICES IN THE PRIVACY AND COMFORT OF THEIR OWN HOMES. THROUGH AHNS HEALTHCARE@HOME PROGRAM, AHN IS HELPING MANY PATIENTS MAINTAIN THEIR INDEPENDENCE AND CONTINUE THE HEALING PROCESS AT HOME AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. THE SERVICE ARRANGES FOR HOME HEALTH, HOSPICE, PALLIATIVE AND INFUSION THERAPY SERVICES, AS WELL AS THE DELIVERY OF MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES, ALLOWING PATIENTS TO REMAIN IN THEIR OWN HOMES, AND IN THEIR OWN COMMUNITIES, AND OUT OF THE HOSPITAL OR A SKILLED NURSING FACILITY. -COMMUNITY-BASED DIABETES CARE: AHN, WITH FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM THE RICHARD KING MELLON FOUNDATION, IS ADVANCING A TRANSFORMATIONAL, COMMUNITY-BASED DIABETES CARE MODEL IN THE REGION. MORE THAN 29 MILLION PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES, OR NEARLY 10% OF THE POPULATION, ARE AFFECTED BY DIABETES. AT THE CURRENT PACE OF THE EPIDEMIC, THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION (CDC) ESTIMATES THAT AS MANY AS ONE IN THREE PEOPLE COULD HAVE DIABETES BY THE YEAR 2050. THE YEARLY ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE DISEASE AND ITS COMPLICATIONS EXCEEDS $245 BILLION; TO BETTER ADDRESS THE GROWING INCIDENCE AND IMPACT OF DIABETES IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA, AHN HAS ESTABLISHED A PATIENT-CENTERED MODEL OF CARE TO MORE EFFECTIVELY MEET THE COMPREHENSIVE NEEDS OF THOSE LIVING WITH THE DISEASE. THE RICHARD KING MELLON FOUNDATION GRANT PROVIDES PATIENTS IN THE AHN PROGRAM WITH ACCESS TO A RANGE OF MEDICAL AND OTHER SUPPORT SERVICES IN THE COMMUNITY. AT THE CORE OF THE NEW CARE MODEL ARE PHYSICIAN-LED, HOLISTIC ASSESSMENTS TO UNDERSTAND A PATIENTS INDIVIDUAL NEEDS AND TO UNCOVER POTENTIAL BARRIERS TO SUCCESSFUL DISEASE MANAGEMENT. CRUCIALLY, DIABETES CARE COORDINATORS ARE HELPING TO CONNECT PATIENTS WITH A VARIETY OF SPECIALISTS TO HELP THEM MANAGE THEIR DISEASE MORE EFFECTIVELY, INCLUDING NUTRITIONISTS, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH COUNSELORS AND SOCIAL WORKERS. IN ADDITION, PATIENTS ARE CONNECTED WITH SERVICES AND ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITIES TO HELP FURTHER IMPROVE AND ENHANCE THEIR OVERALL CARE, SUCH AS LOCAL FOOD BANKS OFFERING HEALTHY DIETARY OPTIONS, THE AMERICAN DIABETES ASSOCIATION AND JDRF. -CHILD SAFETY DAY: CANONSBURG HOSPITAL (PART OF AHN) SPONSORS A SPRING CHILD SAFETY DAY ON ITS HOSPITAL GROUNDS FOR A DAY OF FUN, EDUCATION, AND PRIZES. EACH FAMILY ATTENDING IS GIVEN A FREE FIRST-AID KIT, AND HOSPITAL STAFF WILL DISTRIBUTE MORE THAN 300 BICYCLE HELMETS. WHILE CHILD DEATHS RELATED TO UNINTENTIONAL INJURY OR TRAUMA HAVE DROPPED DRAMATICALLY OVER THE LAST 30 YEARS, UNINTENTIONAL INJURIES (MOTOR VEHICLE/TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS, SUFFOCATION, DROWNING, POISONING, AND FIRE/BURNING) ARE STILL THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH FOR CHILDREN, AND MANY TRAUMA-RELATED INJURIES INCREASE IN THE SUMMER AFTER SCHOOL LETS OUT. -SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS: AHN IS INVOLVED IN NUMEROUS CAREER AND EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIPS, INCLUDING THE FUTURE IS MINE (STUDENTS TOUR VARIOUS AHN HOSPITAL DEPARTMENTS AND LEARN ABOUT CAREERS, EDUCATION, AND WORKING IN THE MEDICAL FIELD); DISABILITY MENTORING DAY (STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO TOUR PARTS OF HOSPITAL DEPARTMENTS AND LEARN ABOUT VARIOUS TASKS AND DUTIES ONE PERFORMS IN THEIR FIELD); WORKREADY (A SIX-WEEK MENTORING FOR WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS THAT GIVE STUDENTS REAL-WORK EXPERIENCE); CITY CONNECTIONS (A PROGRAM THAT HELPS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WITH SEVERE DISABILITIES GAIN REAL WORK EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE FROM THEIR SELECTED DEPARTMENT MENTOR); PROJECT MOVE (AN EIGHT-WEEK MENTORING PROGRAM AT AGH); START ON SUCCESS (A COMMUNITY WORK PROGRAM THAT ASSIGNS STUDENTS TO WORK ALONGSIDE REGULAR STAFF AND COMPLETE ASSIGNED TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES; STUDENTS RECEIVE AN HOURLY WAGE AND ARE AT THE HOSPITAL M-F FOR TWO HOURS A DAY); STRANGER AWARENESS (AGH AND TWO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS CREATED THE STRANGER AWARENESS PROGRAM TO HELP YOUNGER STUDENTS PRACTICE WHAT TO DO WHEN A STRANGER APPROACHES THEM AND RECOGNIZE "SAFE" STRANGERS); IN SCHOOL YOUTH (A PROGRAM FOCUSED ON PITTSBURGH HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS INTERESTED IN PURSUING A CAREER IN HEALTHCARE); OUT OF SCHOOL YOUTH (A PROGRAM FOR PITTSBURGH HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WHO HAVE NOT DECIDED A CAREER PATH); SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, MATH, MEDICINE (A ONE-DAY STEMM SEMINAR IS DESIGNED FOR HIGH SCHOOL JUNIORS AND SENIORS); GATEWAY MEDICAL SOCIETY-JOURNEY INTO MEDICINE (AN EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM OFFERED TO STUDENTS WHO ARE INTERESTED PURSUING A CAREER IN THE ALLIED HEALTH FIELD FOR SIXTH- AND SEVENTH-GRADERS); AND SEVERAL OTHER PARTNERSHIPS.
-DIVERSITY IN EMPLOYMENT AND CONTRACTING: AHN IS COMMITTED TO DIVERSITY	AND THE CREATION OF AN INCLUSIVE WORK ENVIRONMENT FOR NOT ONLY ITS EMPLOYEES, BUT ALSO VENDORS AND CONTRACTORS WHO SUPPORT THE NETWORK. AS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER, AHN RECOGNIZES AND EMBRACES THE MANY DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES AND LIFE EXPERIENCES THAT EACH INDIVIDUAL BRINGS TO THE WORKPLACE; CREATING A DIVERSE WORKFORCE, AND PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMEN-OWNED AND MINORITY-OWNED VENDORS, IS PART OF AHN'S EMPLOYMENT AND BUSINESS SUPPLY CHAIN STRATEGY. -LIFEFLIGHT: LIFEFLIGHT, THE FIRST AIR MEDICAL TRANSPORT SERVICE IN THE NORTHEASTERN UNITED STATES, IS PART OF AHN AND HAS COMPLETED MORE THAN 80,000 MISSIONS IN 40 YEARS OF FLYING. HOSPITAL-BASED AIR-MEDICAL TRANSPORT PROGRAMS THAT FIRST TOOK FLIGHT IN THE LATE 1970S ARE CREDITED WITH SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVING A CRITICALLY INJURED PATIENT'S CHANCE OF SURVIVAL. THEY PROVIDE TIMELY ACCESS TO SPECIALTY LIFE-SAVING INTERVENTIONS FOR PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM TRAUMA, HEART ATTACKS, STROKES, AND OTHER CRITICAL ILLNESSES. AHN'S LIFEFLIGHT HAS FIVE BASES THROUGHOUT THE REGION. -VETERANS: AHN IS A PARTNER IN THE "WE HONOR VETERANS PROGRAM," A PROGRAM DEVELOPED BY THE NATIONAL HOSPICE AND PALLIATIVE CARE ORGANIZATION (NHPCO) IN COLLABORATION WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS (VA) TO SPECIFICALLY RECOGNIZE THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF AMERICAS VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES. AHNS HEALTHCARE@HOME UNIT RECOGNIZES THAT VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES MAY FACE UNIQUE AND SPECIAL NEEDS AND CHALLENGES BECAUSE OF THEIR ILLNESS, ISOLATION OR TRAUMATIC LIFE EXPERIENCES. THE GOALS OF THE "WE HONOR VETERANS PROGRAM" FOCUS ON RESPECTFUL INQUIRY, COMPASSIONATE LISTENING AND GRATEFUL ACKNOWLEDGMENT. ADDITIONALLY, AHN SUPPORTS THE HEALTH OF WESTERN PENNSYLVANIAS SUBSTANTIAL VETERANS COMMUNITY THROUGH THE collaboration OF THE AHN AND VA ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS (EMR) PLATFORMS. THE TWO ORGANIZATIONS CAN NOW EXCHANGE VETERANS' HEALTH RECORDS SECURELY AND SEAMLESSLY FOR A MORE CONNECTED PATIENT-PROVIDER EXPERIENCE. -RESEARCH: AT THE ALLEGHENY HEALTH NETWORK RESEARCH INSTITUTE, THE PATH TO ADVANCING THE SCIENCE OF MEDICINE STARTS WITH DISCOVERY. OUR RESEARCH SCIENTISTS AND PHYSICIAN INVESTIGATORS ARE FORGING NEW MEDICAL FRONTIERS LOOKING FOR CLUES AND CURES TO SOME OF THE MOST COMPLEX CAUSES OF DISEASE. AHN OFFERS COMMUNITY ACCESS TO NEW DRUG THERAPIES, HONES REVOLUTIONARY SURGICAL PROCEDURES, AND HAS ADVANCED EXPERTISE WITH INNOVATIVE DEVICES AND WEARABLE TECHNOLOGIES THAT HELP REDUCE THE IMPACT OF CHRONIC DISEASE. AHN PARTNERS WITH LOCAL INDUSTRY, GOVERNMENT, ACADEMIA, AND HEALTH SYSTEMS ACROSS THE REGION TO WORK TOWARD A COMMON GOAL: DISCOVERING CURES AND DEVELOPING THE NEXT "BEST PRACTICES" IN MEDICINE. BY REDEFINING THE WAY AHN TREATS DISEASE, THE NETWORK IS IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF ITS COMMUNITY, AND ITS PATIENTS, WHILE ADVANCING THE SCIENCE OF MEDICINE. ADDITIONALLY, AHN PARTICIPATES IN HIGHMARK HEALTHS "VITAL" (VERIFICATION OF INNOVATION BY TESTING, ANALYSIS AND LEARNING) PROGRAM, A CLINICAL INNOVATION PROGRAM THAT LEVERAGES HIGHMARK HEALTH'S SIZE AND MARKET POSITION, AND AHNS PATIENTS AND CLINICIANS, TO ACCELERATE THE PACE AT WHICH NOVEL THERAPIES AND SERVICES ARE MADE AVAILABLE TO THE COMMUNITY CUSTOMERS. THE VITAL INNOVATION PROGRAM IS A TEST BED DESIGNED TO FACILITATE EARLY USE OF TECHNOLOGIES THAT HAVE RECEIVED REGULATORY APPROVAL, BUT ARE NOT YET COVERED BY MOST COMMERCIAL INSURERS, INCLUDING HIGHMARK, INC. VITAL AND AHN CLINICIANS TEST THOSE TECHNOLOGIES AND THERAPIES, SEE HOW WELL THEY WORK ON OUR PATIENTS THROUGH CLINICAL TRIALS, AND DETERMINE WHETHER THEY ARE COST EFFECTIVE IN HOPES OF SPEEDING THOSE TECHNOLOGIES TO THE FULL WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA AUDIENCE.

INTRODUCTION TO AHN	ALLEGHENY HEALTH NETWORK (AHN), BASED IN PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA, IS A TAX-EXEMPT, PATIENT-CENTERED AND PHYSICIAN-LED ACADEMIC HEALTHCARE SYSTEM THAT PROVIDES CHARITABLE CARE AND HIGH-QUALITY, COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH CARE SERVICES TO PATIENTS FROM WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND THE ADJACENT REGIONS OF OHIO, WEST VIRGINIA, NEW YORK AND MARYLAND.

THE NETWORKS HOSPITALS INCLUDE ONE QUATERNARY ACADEMIC MEDICAL CENTER (ALLEGHENY GENERAL HOSPITAL IN PITTSBURGH) AND SEVEN TERTIARY/COMMUNITY HOSPITALS THAT PROVIDE A WIDE ARRAY OF GENERAL AND ADVANCED CLINICAL SERVICES (ALLEGHENY VALLEY HOSPITAL, NATRONA HEIGHTS, PA; CANONSBURG HOSPITAL, CANONSBURG, PA; FORBES HOSPITAL, MONROEVILLE, PA; JEFFERSON HOSPITAL, JEFFERSON HILLS, PA; SAINT VINCENT HOSPITAL, ERIE, PA; WEST PENN HOSPITAL, PITTSBURGH; AND WESTFIELD MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, WESTFIELD, NY.) AHN WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2013, BUT ITS MEMBER HOSPITALS SHARE LEGACIES OF CHARITABLE CARE THAT DATE BACK 170 YEARS (WEST PENN HOSPITAL WAS CHARTERED IN 1848). AHN WAS FORMED TO ACT AS THE PARENT COMPANY OF THE HOSPITALS OF THE WEST PENN ALLEGHENY HEALTH SYSTEM, INC. (WPAHS), AS WELL AS JEFFERSON HOSPITAL, and SAINT VINCENT HOSPITAL. HIGHMARK HEALTH (HH), IN TURN, SERVES AS THE ULTIMATE PARENT OF AHN AND ITS AFFILIATES. IN 2017, THE HOSPITALS AND CLINICS OF AHN TOGETHER ADMITTED NEARLY 90,000 PATIENTS, LOGGED NEARLY 300,000 EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS AND DELIVERED NEARLY 7,500 BABIES; AND ITS PHYSICIANS PERFORMED MORE THAN 100,000 SURGICAL PROCEDURES. ANCHORED BY NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED CLINICAL AND RESEARCH PROGRAMS IN THE AREAS OF BONE AND JOINT CARE, SPORTS MEDICINE, CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE, NEUROSURGERY AND NEUROLOGY, WOMENS HEALTH, CANCER, EMERGENCY MEDICINE, BARIATRIC AND METABOLIC DISEASE, AHN PROVIDES A COMPLETE SPECTRUM OF ADVANCED DIAGNOSTIC, MEDICAL AND SURGICAL CARE ACROSS ALL MEDICAL SPECIALTIES, INCLUDING PRIMARY CARE, TRAUMA AND BURN CARE, GENERAL SURGERY, DIABETES, AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES, CRITICAL CARE, DIGESTIVE DISEASES, MENS HEALTH/UROLOGY, LUNG AND ESOPHAGEAL DISEASES AND REHABILITATION SERVICES. AHN ALSO PLAYS A PIVOTAL ROLE IN THE TRAINING OF FUTURE GENERATIONS OF HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS BY OFFERING FOUR DOZEN GRADUATE MEDICAL PROGRAMS, AND BY MAINTAINING AFFILIATIONS WITH THREE MEDICAL SCHOOLS AND TWO NURSING SCHOOLS. THE NETWORKS HOSPITALS SERVE AS CLINICAL CAMPUSES FOR THE MEDICAL SCHOOLS OF DREXEL UNIVERSITY, TEMPLE UNIVERSITY AND THE LAKE ERIE COLLEGE OF OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE (LECOM). NEARLY 250 STUDENTS ARE ENROLLED EACH YEAR IN NURSING PROGRAMS AT THE WEST PENN HOSPITAL SCHOOL OF NURSING AND THE CITIZENS SCHOOL OF NURSING IN NATRONA HEIGHTS, AND ABOUT 450 MEDICAL RESIDENTS AND FELLOWS RECEIVE ADVANCED TRAINING ON STAFF AT AHN HOSPITALS. AHNS PLAN IS TO TRANSFORM THE CURRENT MODEL OF HEALTH CARE DELIVERY IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA BY ENCOURAGING HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS WITHIN AHN, WHETHER HOSPITALS OR PHYSICIANS, TO USE THE MOST COST-EFFECTIVE VENUE FOR CARE, ADHERE TO THE HIGHEST, EVIDENCE-BASED STANDARDS OF CARE, AND DELIVER SUPERIOR OUTCOMES BY REDUCING UNNECESSARY READMISSIONS AND HEALTHCARE ASSOCIATED COMPLICATIONS. PROVIDING COST-EFFICIENT, CONVENIENTLY ACCESSED CARE DELIVERS VALUE AND BENEFIT TO LOCAL COMMUNITIES, PARTNER HEALTH CARRIERS, AREA BUSINESSES, AND MOST OF ALL TO AHNS PATIENTS. THE GOAL OF AHN IS TO PROMOTE HEALTH AND WELLNESS IN OUR COMMUNITIES BY PROVIDING SAFE, COMPASSIONATE, AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE TO ALL WHO SEEK IT, REGARDLESS OF A PATIENTS RACE, CREED, GENDER, NATIONAL ORIGIN, PHYSICAL OR MENTAL DISABILITY, OR ABILITY TO PAY. VISION AND STRATEGY AHN AND HH ARE FULLY COMMITTED TO BUILDING A VALUE-BASED SYSTEM, REQUIRING A FULL-SCALE CULTURAL CHANGE IN THE WAY THAT CLINICAL SERVICES ARE DELIVERED. THIS INVOLVES MOVING CARE TO LOWER-COST SETTINGS; REDESIGNING CARE MODELS TO PROMOTE INTEGRATION AND CLINICAL STANDARDIZATION AND PASSING THOSE BENEFITS ALONG TO EMPLOYERS AND MEMBERS; REALIGNING PAYMENT TO QUALITY- AND COST-PERFORMANCE; AND EMBRACING NOVEL FORMS OF INTEGRATION AND PARTNERSHIPS AMONG DIFFERENT PROVIDERS AND PAYERS. AHN AND HH BELIEVE THIS PATH HOLDS PROMISE OF CORRECTING MANY OF THE FUNDAMENTAL ISSUES AFFECTING THE HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY TODAY. TRANSITION TO THAT MODEL REQUIRES SUBSTANTIAL INVESTMENT TO BUILD THE CAPABILITIES AND NEW PROCESSES TO SUPPORT THE NECESSARY TYPE OF CARE, AND REQUIRES A NEW STRATEGY: CUSTOMER VALUE CREATION: AHN AND HH ARE BUILDING SERVICES, CAPABILITIES AND PRODUCTS THAT ARE ALIGNED TO PATIENTS DEMANDS FOR VALUE (ACCESS, EXPERIENCE, AND QUALITY AT AN AFFORDABLE COST). SUSTAINABLE GROWTH: FOCUSING ON BUSINESSES AND CUSTOMERS WHERE HH/AHNS COMMITMENT TO CUSTOMER VALUE MOST RESONATES. THAT INCLUDES BUILDING ON HHS HISTORY OF INVESTING IN DIVERSIFIED HEALTHCARE BUSINESSES THAT CAN ADD JOBS AND VALUE TO THE COMMUNITY. CLINICIAN-LED CARE DELIVERY TRANSFORMATION: CREATING CARE MODELS AND UNDERLYING PRODUCTS AND SERVICES THAT IMPROVE THE EXPERIENCE AND OUTCOMES OF PATIENTS, AND THAT ARE ORIENTED TOWARD REDUCING WASTE IN THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM BY PUTTING CLINICIANS IN THE DRIVERS SEAT. CORE BUSINESS PERFORMANCE: IMPROVING THE CORE SYSTEMS THAT ARE REQUIRED FOR DELIVERING HEALTH CARE. UNPARALLELED EXECUTION: BUILDING THE RIGHT SYSTEMS, PROCESSES AND CARE TEAMS TO ENSURE TRANSFORMATIONAL EXECUTION ACROSS THE NETWORK. EVIDENCE OF THE SUCCESS OF THE TRANSFORMATION STRATEGY CAN BE FOUND IN AHNS FINANCIAL RESULTS: IN 2017, FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE CREATION OF AHN, THE NETWORK REPORTED POSITIVE OPERATING ($31 MILLION) AND NET ($51 MILLION) REVENUES.
COMMUNITY BENEFITS	AHN AND ITS TAX-EXEMPT SUBSIDIARY FACILITIES SUPPORT A BROAD ARRAY OF CHARITABLE SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY BY PROVIDING SUBSIDIZED HEALTH CARE; SPONSORING COMMUNITY EVENTS (HEALTH FAIRS, CANCER SCREENINGS, WALKS, EDUCATIONAL SEMINARS; SUPPORT GROUPS); AND MAKING CHARITABLE DONATIONS. THE SERVICES BENEFIT CHILDREN AND TEENS, ADULTS AND SENIORS, PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES, AND THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE. THIS FOLLOWING IS NOT A TOTAL ACCOUNT OF ALL OF AHNS CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES, BUT A SAMPLING OF AHNS MANY CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE COMMUNITY, AND ITS COMMITMENT TO PROVIDE A WIDE RANGE OF QUALITY HEALTH SERVICES TO DIVERSE COMMUNITIES AND TO ALL WHO SEEK AHNS CARE: AHN POSITIVE CLINIC: THE POSITIVE HEALTH CLINIC (PHC) IS A COMPREHENSIVE HIV PRIMARY CARE CLINIC PROVIDING STATE-OF-THE-ART CARE TO HIV-POSITIVE PERSONS. ITS SUPPORT STAFF INCLUDES PHYSICIANS, NURSES, MEDICAL ASSISTANTS, SOCIAL WORKERS, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH THERAPISTS, PSYCHIATRISTS AND PATIENT ADVOCATES. THE TEAM TREATS MORE THAN 750 PATIENTS AND HAS EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE WITH ALL ASPECTS OF HIV MANAGEMENT, PROVIDING A WIDE RANGE OF PRIMARY AND SPECIALIZED HIV CARE, REGARDLESS OF AN INDIVIDUAL'S MEDICAL INSURANCE COVERAGE OR ABILITY TO PAY.

AHN ALSO PROVIDES SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO A REGIONAL AIDS-PREVENTION PARTNERSHIP WHOSE GOAL IS TO END NEW HIV INFECTIONS IN ALLEGHENY COUNTY, PA., BY 2020. BRADDOCK URGENT CARE: IN 2015, AHN AND HH OPENED THE AHN URGENT CARE CENTER, SUBSIDIZING HEALTH CARE ACCESS FOR THE UNDERSERVED BRADDOCK, PA., COMMUNITY, BY PROVIDING CARE ON A CHARITABLE BASIS AND SERVING A SIGNIFICANT SHARE OF MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PATIENTS. WITH THE HELP OF A GRANT FROM HIGHMARK INC., AHN HAS LAUNCHED An implementation PLAN, INTENDED TO EDUCATE AND IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR BRADDOCK-AREA RESIDENTS IN FOUR KEY AREAS: BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, INCLUDING SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS; CANCER, PARTICULARLY OF THE PROSTATE, LUNG, COLON OR BREAST; CHRONIC DISEASE, WITH A FOCUS ON ASTHMA AND DIABETES, AND MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH, WITH A PARTICULAR FOCUS ON SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASE PREVENTION. THE AHN URGENT CARE CENTER WAS BUILT FOLLOWING THE CLOSURE OF BRADDOCKS COMMUNITY HOSPITAL, WHICH HAD BEEN THE PRIMARY JOB SOURCE AND HEALTH CARE ACCESS POINT FOR BRADDOCK RESIDENTS. THE AHN URGENT CARE CENTER IS STAFFED BY BOARD CERTIFIED PHYSICIANS, REGISTERED NURSES, MEDICAL ASSISTANTS AND RADIOLOGY TECHNICIANS, AND EQUIPPED WITH 12 PATIENT EXAM ROOMS AND DIAGNOSTIC CAPABILITIES SUCH AS X-RAY IMAGING AND BLOOD WORK. CANCER SCREENINGS: MANY CANCERS CAN BE PREVENTED OR DETECTED AT EARLIER AND MORE TREATABLE STAGES IF PATIENTS UNDERGO ROUTINE SCREENING TESTS. IN THE FALL OF 2014, AHN LAUNCHED A FREE HEALTH SCREENING AND CANCER EDUCATION PROGRAM AT JEFFERSON HOSPITAL, WITH SCREENINGS FOR CERVICAL, BREAST, COLORECTAL, PROSTATE, LUNG, HEAD AND NECK, AND SKIN CANCER. IN 2015, THE SCREENING PROGRAM EXPANDED ACROSS THE NETWORK, AND IN 2016 AND 2017, AHN CLINICIANS PROVIDED 2,700 SEPARATE SCREENINGS TO NEARLY 850 PATIENTS AT EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE AREA. THOSE WITH ABNORMAL SCREENINGS WERE REFERRED FOR FOLLOW-UP TREATMENT OR TESTING. THE SCREENINGS ARE ALL PERFORMED BY AHN HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, WHO VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME AT NO COST TO THE PATIENTS. PATIENT SURVEYS SHOW A HIGH RATE OF SATISFACTION AND APPRECIATION FOR THE AHN CANCER INSTITUTE CANCER SCREENING AND EDUCATION PROGRAM. CHARITY CARE: TOGETHER AS AN ENTERPRISE, AHN AND HIGHMARK HEALTH PROVIDED MORE THAN $107 MILLION IN CHARITY AND UNCOMPENSATED CARE IN 2017. COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT: IN 2015, AS REQUIRED BY THE PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, AHN EMBARKED ON A COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) TO COLLECT HEALTH AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC DATA TO DETERMINE THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ACROSS AHNS WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA SERVICE FOOTPRINT. IN TAKING A SYSTEM-WIDE APPROACH TO COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT, AHN SOUGHT TO IDENTIFY REGIONAL HEALTH TRENDS AND UNIQUE DISPARITIES WITHIN HOSPITAL SERVICE AREAS. SYSTEM-WIDE PRIORITIES WERE DEVELOPED TO DELEGATE RESOURCES ACROSS THE SYSTEM TO IMPACT THE REGIONS MOST PRESSING HEALTH NEEDS, WHILE HOSPITAL-SPECIFIC STRATEGIES WERE OUTLINED TO GUIDE LOCAL EFFORTS AND COLLABORATION WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO ADDRESS THOSE PRIORITIZED NEEDS. THE AHN CHNA STEERING AND ADVISORY COMMITTEES REVIEWED FINDINGS FROM THE CHNA RESEARCH, INCLUDING PUBLIC HEALTH DATA, SOCIO-ECONOMIC MEASURES, RESPONSES FROM THE KEY INFORMANT SURVEY, AND HOSPITAL UTILIZATION TRENDS TO DETERMINE THE HIGHEST NEEDS IN EACH HOSPITAL COMMUNITY AND DEVELOP SYSTEM-WIDE PRIORITIES TO FOCUS COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT EFFORTS. THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS RECOMMENDED THE FOLLOWING ISSUES BE ADOPTED AS PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS ACROSS THE AHN SERVICE AREA: BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, CANCER, CHRONIC DISEASE, AND MATERNAL & CHILD HEALTH. THE RATIONALE AND CRITERIA USED TO SELECT THESE SYSTEM-WIDE PRIORITIES INCLUDED: PREVALENCE OF DISEASE AND NUMBER OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS IMPACTED; RATE OF DISEASE IN COMPARISON TO STATE AND NATIONAL BENCHMARKS; HEALTH DISPARITIES AMONG RACIAL AND ETHNIC MINORITIES; EXISTING PROGRAMS, RESOURCES, AND EXPERTISE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES; AND INPUT FROM REPRESENTATIVES OF UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE CHNA DEVELOPED SEVERAL COMMUNITY HEALTH GOALS AND INITIATIVES BASED ON THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE PRIORITY NEEDS AND IN 2016, THE BOARDS OF AHN AND THE AHN HOSPITALS ADOPTED AN IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY TO ROLL OUT THE INITIATIVES ACROSS THE NETWORK. THE 2015 CHNA BUILDS UPON OUR HOSPITALS PREVIOUS CHNAS AND STRATEGY AND PROVIDES A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE FOR ALLEGHENY HEALTH NETWORKS COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT EFFORTS. AHN IDENTIFIED NEEDS WITHIN EACH OF ITS HOSPITAL COMMUNITIES, AND WORKED WITH ITS COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO TAKE A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH TO COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT WHILE DIRECTING SYSTEM-WIDE RESOURCES TO IMPROVE POPULATION HEALTH THROUGHOUT THE REGION. WHERE APPLICABLE, AHN HAS ALIGNED ITS PRIORITIES AND PLANNING WITH EXISTING LOCAL AND REGIONAL INITIATIVES TO FOSTER COLLABORATION IN COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT. BECAUSE NOT-FOR-PROFIT HOSPITALS ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT EVERY THREE YEARS, IN EARLY 2018, AHN RE-LAUNCHED ITS CHNA TASK FORCE AND IS PRESENTLY REVALUATING THE MOST PRESSING HEALTH NEEDS IN THE MANY COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. COMMUNITY SUPPORT, EVENTS AND SPONSORSHIPS: THROUGHOUT 2017, ALLEGHENY HEALTH NETWORKS COMMUNITY AFFAIRS PROVIDED OVER $1 MILLION IN FUNDING TO SUPPORT COMMUNITY HEALTH AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES TO IMPROVE THE OVERALL WELL-BEING OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY AHN. SOME OF THOSE INITIATIVES INCLUDE PITTSBURGHS "HEALTHY RIDE" BIKE SHARE PROGRAM; VARIOUS COMMUNITY HEALTH INITIATIVES IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION AND THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY; THE BUILD ("BOLD, UPSTREAM, INTEGRATED, LOCAL AND DATA-DRIVEN") HEALTH CHALLENGE; AND NUMEROUS HEALTH-RELATED COMMUNITY EVENTS. HEALTHY FOOD CENTER: A FIRST OF ITS KIND IN THE REGION, AHN'S NEW HEALTHY FOOD CENTER ACTS AS A "FOOD PHARMACY" WHERE PATIENTS WHO LACK ACCESS TO FOOD CAN RECEIVE NUTRITIOUS FOOD ITEMS, EDUCATION ON DISEASE-SPECIFIC DIETS, AND ADDITIONAL SERVICES FOR OTHER SOCIAL CHALLENGES THEY MIGHT FACE. ACCORDING TO THE GREATER PITTSBURGH COMMUNITY FOOD BANK, A PARTNER OF THE HEALTHY FOOD CENTER, FOOD INSECURITY AFFECTS MORE THAN 350,000 PEOPLE OR ONE IN SEVEN ADULTS IN THE PITTSBURGH REGION. FOOD INSECURITY REFERS TO A LACK OF AVAILABLE FINANCIAL RESOURCES FOR NUTRITIONALLY-ADEQUATE FOOD SUCH AS FRUITS, VEGETABLES, LEAN PROTEINS AND WHOLE GRAINS. THE HEALTHY FOOD CENTER IS PILOTING ITS PROGRAM AMONG PATIENTS WITH DIABETES WHO ARE SCREENED BY THEIR DOCTOR AS BEING FOOD INSECURE. PATIENTS RECEIVE A REFERRAL TO THE HEALTHY FOOD CENTER WHERE THEY INITIALLY MEET WITH AN ONSITE DIETITIAN TO DISCUSS THEIR DIETARY NEEDS BASED ON THEIR CONDITION. AFTER SHOPPING AT THE CENTER FOR THE RECOMMENDED FOOD ITEMS, PATIENTS GO HOME WITH TWO TO THREE DAYS WORTH OF FOOD FOR ALL MEMBERS OF THEIR HOUSEHOLD.
IMMIGRANT HEALTH PROGRAM: THE IMMIGRANT HEALTH PROGRAM AT	Allegheny Health Network, part of the AHN Center for Inclusion Health, works toward the delivery of a new community health model aimed at meeting the health care needs of immigrant women in our region. FROM 2005-2015, THE NUMBER OF FOREIGN-BORN AREA RESIDENTS GREW FROM 48,266 TO 72,265, MORE THAN HALF OF WHOM ARE WOMEN. OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS, AHNS CENTER FOR INCLUSION HEALTH AND MORE THAN A DOZEN LOCAL COMMUNITY HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL CONVENE TO DELIVER THE "IMMIGRANT WOMEN COMMUNITY HEALTH MODEL" AIMED AT PROVIDING IMMIGRANT WOMEN ACCESS TO CULTURALLY-COMPETENT AND QUALITY PERINATAL SERVICES, AS WELL AS OTHER WOMENS HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES. MEDICAL RESPITE PROGRAM: IN 2016, AHN ESTABLISHED A NEW MEDICAL RESPITE PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES ITINERANT PATIENTS RECOVERING FROM ILLNESSES WITH A SAFE PLACE TO RECUPERATE AND RECEIVE ONGOING NON-ACUTE CARE AND SUPPORT FOLLOWING A HOSPITAL STAY. THIS INNOVATIVE MODEL REPRESENTS THE FIRST AND ONLY MEDICAL RESPITE PROGRAM IN THE PITTSBURGH REGION. THE MEDICAL RESPITE PROGRAM FIRST ADDRESSES THE PATIENTS' PRIMARY NEEDS FOR SAFE TEMPORARY HOUSING AND NUTRITION(THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL HOMELESS SERVICES FACILITIES LOCATED IN DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH); THEN FOLLOWS UP WITH PATIENTS HEALTH NEEDS WITH VISITS FROM AHN HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS (AHNS CENTER FOR INCLUSION HEALTH AND HEALTHCARE@HOME PROGRAMS). THROUGH THIS MODEL, THE PROGRAM HELPS ACHIEVE BETTER HEALTH OUTCOMES AND SOCIAL STABILITY FOR AT-RISK PATIENT POPULATIONS, WHILE LOWERING THEIR RISK OF DANGEROUS AND COSTLY RE-HOSPITALIZATIONS. OPEN HEART SURGERY OBSERVATION: SINCE 2008, HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS FROM WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA, WEST VIRGINIA AND OHIO HAVE BEEN INVITED TO OBSERVE ALLEGHENY HEALTH NETWORKS CARDIOVASCULAR SURGEONS IN ACTION THROUGH THE CARDIOVASCULAR INSTITUTES (CVI) OPEN HEART SURGERY OBSERVATION PROGRAM. THE PROGRAM, WHICH HAS HOSTED MORE THAN 15,000 AREA STUDENTS FROM DOZENS OF SCHOOLS, IS SUPPORTED BY TWO PART-TIME POSITIONS, AND IS PART OF AHNS AND THE CVIS COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY EDUCATION AND INSPIRING FUTURE GENERATIONS OF HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS. PERINATAL HOPE: IN 2016, AHN LAUNCHED ITS PERINATAL HOPE PROGRAM, A MEDICAL HOME CARE MODEL FOR MOTHERS-TO-BE WHO ARE ADDICTED TO DRUGS. THE PROGRAM PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE AND COORDINATED TREATMENT THAT PUTS THE MOTHER AND BABY ON TRACK FOR A MORE HOPEFUL FUTURE. PERINATAL HOPE IS THE REGIONS FIRST ALL-INCLUSIVE PROGRAM FOR MATERNAL ADDICTION THAT COMBINES OBSTETRICAL CARE, AND DRUG AND ALCOHOL THERAPY AND MEDICATION-ASSISTED TREATMENT INTO ONE CLINIC VISIT.

SPECIAL OLYMPICS PENNSYLVANIA PROVIDES YEAR-ROUND TRAINING AND COMPETITION IN 21 OLYMPIC-TYPE SPORTS TO NEARLY 20,000 CHILDREN AND ADULTS WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES. STOP THE BLEED: AS PART OF THIS ONGOING COMMUNITY AWARENESS CAMPAIGN, AHN TRAUMA CENTER REPRESENTATIVES PARTNER WITH EMS PROFESSIONALS TO PROVIDE SCHOOL OFFICIALS WITH TRAINING ON HOW TO HELP CONTROL BLEEDING FROM INJURIES IN THE EVENT OF A MASS CAUSALLY INCIDENT. SIMILAR TO HOW HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS EDUCATE THE GENERAL PUBLIC IN CPR, THE "STOP THE BLEED" CAMPAIGN FOCUSES ON TRAINING THE GENERAL PUBLIC IN BLEEDING CONTROL TECHNIQUES. IN MASS CASUALTY INCIDENTS, INDIVIDUALS OFTEN SUFFER INJURIES THAT RESULT IN PREVENTABLE DEATHS. BY TRAINING THE GENERAL PUBLIC IN BASIC BLEEDING CONTROL TECHNIQUES, BYSTANDERS WILL BE ABLE TO INITIATE LIFESAVING MEASURES BEFORE THE FIRST RESPONDERS ARRIVE. SUMMER CAMP FOR BURN INJURED CHILDREN: IN 1986, WEST PENN BURN CENTER ESTABLISHED ITS SUMMER CAMP FOR BURN INJURED CHILDREN. THE CAMP GIVES CHILDREN WHO HAVE BEEN BURNED A CHANCE TO HEAL PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY IN A SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT THAT OFFERED PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR FUN. AT THE FREE, FIVE-DAY CAMP, KIDS AGES 7 TO 17 WHO HAVE BEEN TREATED AT THE WEST PENN BURN CENTER MEET TO SHARE THEIR STORIES AND ENJOY NEW EXPERIENCES. WITH THE GUIDANCE OF SKILLED PROFESSIONALS, CHILDREN ARE ENCOURAGED TO MEET NEW CHALLENGES AND TO TAKE POSITIVE RISKS BY PARTICIPATING IN ADVENTURES - SUCH AS ROPE CLIMBING - THAT HELP BUILD CONFIDENCE WHILE ALSO BUILDING STRONG BODIES.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY MONITORING & ENFORCEMENT	FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C Highmark Health (HH) has a corporate compliance department that monitors and oversees compliance with the Conflict of Interest Policy for all entities within the filing group. The following describes the manner in which the corporate compliance department monitors and oversees compliance with the conflict of interest policy: Conflict of interest disclosure forms are completed upon hire/appointment and on an annual basis by all board members, officers, key employees, managers and above, persons with purchasing authority including procurement department employees and committee which may influence purchasing decisions, and any other employees as designated by the compliance department. Upon completion of the above disclosure statement by all applicable individuals, the Integrity and Compliance Department reviews all disclosures. Those that require additional information or clarification are contacted by the integrity and compliance department requesting such. Once received, the Integrity and Compliance Department reviews the information to determine whether a real or potential conflict of interest exists. As applicable, Legal and Senior Management are consulted to determine whether a real or potential conflict of interest exists. When a conflict requires a mitigation plan, the mitigation plan is developed and approved in coordination with the respective responsible senior management. The senior managers are responsible for discussing the mitigation plan with the individual and monitoring compliance with the mitigation plan. A Conflict of Interest/Independence Disclosure Summary Report of all board members, officers, and executive management with reportable disclosures is provided to the Audit and Compliance committee of the Board of Highmark Health as well as the Board of Directors of Highmark Health, Allegheny Health Network and any applicable hospital.
PROCESS FOR DETERMINING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION	FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINES 15A AND 15B Allegheny Health Network follows a process for determining compensation for executive positions, (including officers, key employees and other management positions), and is covered by the Highmark Health executive compensation policy. The policy was approved by the Highmark Health board of directors. It is the policy of AHN management to compensate its executives in accordance with the market and in relation to the experience, service and accomplishments of the individual both prior to and during their service with AHN. The Highmark Health personnel and compensation committee (P&C) of the Board of Directors approves the compensation for the president and CEO of AHN and all non-hospital senior executives who report directly to the president and CEO of AHN. The personnel and compensation committee uses comparability data provided by an independent compensation consultant. The external consultant provides a letter of reasonability for all offers made to new executives that report to the AHN CEO. Each P&C committee member voting on a senior executive's compensation arrangement ensures that he or she has no conflict of interest, including that he or she (a) does not economically benefit from the proposed employment; (b) does not receive compensation subject to the approval of the proposed employee; and (c) has no material financial interest affected by the transaction. The executive compensation program for the hospital entities within the group is administered by the CEO of Allegheny Health Network with respect to the CEOs, COOs and CFOs of each hospital, pursuant to overall guidelines established by the personnel and compensation committee of the board of directors of Highmark Health. It is the policy of AHN to compensate its executives in accordance with competitive market practices, taking into account organizational performance and the skills, experience, qualifications and performance of each executive. AHN generally targets the median of the relevant market with reasonable variation based on each executives skills, experience, performance and current positioning relative to market. Highmark Health management, in coordination with the independent consultant to the P&C committee obtains appropriate market comparability data for each position, including nationally published compensation surveys and/or specific organization peer groups, to prepare compensation recommendations for all key executives, including officers, key employees, and other disqualified persons. Recommendations are reviewed and approved by a committee that is independent with respect to the compensation provided to the executives. Compensation may include several forms of cash compensation, including base salary, performance-based incentive compensation, and a competitive employee benefits program. Base salary is the fixed element of compensation intended to align with each executives role, responsibilities, overall performance and other contributions. Incentive compensation is used to provide variable, or "at risk" compensation, based on the performance of both the executive and the organization. Typically, Allegheny Health Network and hospital executives can earn incentive compensation only if the organization achieves certain pre-determined goals as approved by the Board of Directors. The plans are intended to hold executives accountable for achieving performance that is consistent with the long-term goals and objectives of the organization. All entities within the filing follow the requirement in the regulations to comply with the rebuttable presumption of the reasonableness of compensation. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE COMPLETED A REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF COMPENSATION IN JULY 2017.
