PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5	Southcoast works with a number of community partners to obtain input on community needs, gaps in services and health disparities that exist within Southcoast communities. In 2015, Southcoast worked with the following: 1. Partners for a Healthier Community, a community coalition serving Greater Fall River, which undertook a community-wide needs assessment. Southcoast staff served on a number of needs assessment committees which solicited extensive community input through surveys, focus groups and community discussions. 2. Southcoast worked with the Wareham Coalition to Prevent and End Homelessness to conduct a series of Focus Groups on homelessness in the town of Wareham. These included meetings with homeless residents and agencies serving the homeless. 3. Southcoast solicited input from over 100 community agencies, faith-based organizations and community leaders who are involved in providing behavioral health services. The purpose of this needs assessment was to identify needs and gaps in a range of behavioral health services. This included surveys, key informant interviews and presentations to community groups. 4. Southcoast worked with the Greater New Bedford Allies for Health and Wellness (GNB Allies) Health Equity Committee to research and assess health inequities in the Greater New Bedford region, including the impact of social determinants of health. The result of this research was targeted outreach for programs such as cancer screenings, health insurance enrollment and other health issues. PART V, SECTION B, LINE 6B SOUTHCOAST HOSPITALS GROUP, INC. COLLABORATES WITH TEH DARTMOUTH PUBLIC POLICY INSTITUTE.
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 7A AND 10A	https://www.southcoast.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/2017-Community-Benef its-Report-FINAL.pdf PART V, SECTION B, LINE 7D Southcoast shared its needs assessment with a regional coalition, Partners for a Healthier Community, which based a more localized, Fall River area needs assessment on Southcoast's broad health needs assessment findings. Southcoast also became part of Health Data Southcoast, housed at the University of Massachusetts - Dartmouth, which houses a range of health, demographic and social data on a web site that can be accessed by the public. Southcoast's regional health needs assessment is often used by a range of community agencies and other partners for grant proposals and joint planning for health and social programs.
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11	As part of Southcoast's annual Community Benefits process, Southcoast creates a community health improvement plan that is based on Southcoast's needs assessment and is formulated in collaboration with community partners. Southcoast identifies target audiences on an annual basis and also jointly prioritizes and coordinates services that will meet the specific needs of Southcoast communities. In 2016, in collaboration with Southcoast's partners, Southcoast jointly set 49 community health improvement goals and were able to reach 89 percent of these goals. Southcoast reports on it's progress annually and shares this report with the community. Southcoast also establishes a community benefits budget on an annual basis.

PART V, SECTION B, LINE 22D	SOUTHCOAST used the financial guidelines established by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for determining eligibility for financial assistance, including MassHealth and the Health Safety Net. For patients identified between 151-300% of the Federal Poverty Income Guidelines, we provided a sliding scale. For those beyond 300%, or those who did not provide any financial income information, SOUTHCOAST provided a 25% discount from gross charges and informed them of the opportunity to apply for financial assistance.

PART I, LINE 3C	DISCOUNTS ARE AFFORDED TO A "QUALIFYING PATIENT" - PATIENT WHO IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR OTHER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND WHO IS UNINSURED FOR MEDICALLY NECESSARY HOSPITAL SERVICES. ELIGIBLE BALANCES ARE THOSE AMOUNTS FOR WHICH QUALIFYING PATIENTS HAVE FULL RESPONSIBILITY DUE TO LACK OF INSURANCE. OBLIGATIONS DO NOT INCLUDE CO-INSURANCE, DEDUCTIBLES OR BALANCES DUE AFTER INSURANCE OR OUT-OF-NETWORK SERVICES. A DISCOUNT OF 25% OF THE TOTAL CHARGES WILL BE APPLIED AT THE TIME OF INITIAL BILLING. ADDITIONAL DISCOUNTS MAY BE POSSIBLE BASED ON THE SIZE OF THE BALANCE, TIMELINESS OF PAYMENT AND FINANCIAL NEED. THESE ARE GIVEN INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION. SOUTHCOAST WILL SEEK TO ADVISE QUALIFYING PATIENTS WITH RESPECT TO AVAILABILITY OF DISCOUNT PURSUANT TO THIS POLICY AS WELL AS THE AVAILABILITY OF LOW INCOME AND MASSHEALTH BENEFITS.
PART I, LINE 7	ACTUAL COST FOR ALL SOUTHCOAST PATIENT SEGMENTS WAS USED TO CALCULATE THE VALUE OF CHARITY CARE.
PART I, LINE 7G	INCLUDED IN SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES AT COST ARE COSTS AND OFFSETTING REVENUES ASSOCIATED WITH SOUTHCOAST'S LEVEL II NURSERY, INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES AND INPATIENT REHABILITATIVE SERVICES. SOUTHCOAST IS THE SOLE PROVIDER 0F THESE SERVICES IN ITS COMMUNITIES AND PROVIDES SUCH SERVICES AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT DESPITE THE LOSSES INCURRED.
PART II	Southcoast engages in a number of community building activities that promote infrastructure improvement in communities and the development of policies and programs that address social determinants of health such as housing, education and workforce development. Southcoast has provided financial contributions to support infrastructure improvements in community parks, that help improve easy access to physical activity. Southcoast has also provided leadership training and support on health advocacy issues such as regulations to limit tobacco access. Southcoast leads, or plays a key role, in a number of local coalitions that promote wellness and collectively work to address pressing health issues identified in Southcoast's needs assessment. Southcoast is the co-leader of a coaltion, Voices for a Healthy Southcoast, that works to promote and support system and environment change that addresses healthy nutrition, improved access to physical activity and a decrease in high rates of smoking.
PART III, LINE 2	THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED TO CALCULATE BAD DEBT EXPENSE REPORTED IN PART III, LINE 2 WAS BASED ON A RATIO OF COST TO CHARGE METHODOLOGY. DISCOUNTS AND PAYMENTS ON ACCOUNTS CONSIDERED AS BAD DEBT OFFSET THE TOTAL BAD DEBT EXPENSE RECORDED. PART III, LINE 3 PER SHG'S ASSESSMENT OF THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES, A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF THE POPULATION WOULD QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BUT DO NOT APPLY. DUE TO THIS SHG INCLUDES THIS AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE. PART III, LINE 4 FOR PATIENTS THAT DO NOT QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE, SOUTHCOAST RECOGNIZES REVENUE ON THE BASIS OF ITS STANDARD RATES FOR SERVICES PROVIDED BY POLICY. ON THE BASIS OF HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE, A PORTION OF SOUTHCOAST'S UNINSURED PATIENTS WILL BE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PAY FOR THE SERVICES PROVIDED. THUS, SOUTHCOAST RECORDS A PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS RELATED TO UNINSURED PATIENTS IN THE PERIOD THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED. FOOTNOTE 1 (PAGES 8-9) OF THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DESCRIBES THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE.
PART III, LINE 8	THE COST ACCOUNTING METHODOLOGY USED IS THE SAME METHODOLGY USED FOR THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL. THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT SINCE SOUTHCOAST IS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO ALL REGARDLESS OF THE ABILITY TO PAY FOR SUCH SERVICES.
PART III, LINE 9B	SOUTHCOAST'S CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICY CONTAINS PROVISIONS REGARDING COLLECTION PRACTICES TO BE FOLLOWED FOR PATIENTS KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE OR OTHER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. FOR INDIVIDUALS DETERMINED TO BE LOW INCOME PATIENTS ANY SERVICES PROVIDED PRIOR TO SUCH DETERMINATION DATE AND NOT COVERED UNDER THE SAFETY NET (HSN) WILL BE WRITTEN OFF AS CHARITY CARE. ANY SERVICE DENIED BY THE HSN FOR THE MEDICALLY NECESSARY WILL ALSO BE CONSIDERED CHARITY CARE. ANY COPAYMENTS OR DEDUCTIBLES FOR MASSHEALTH AND MASSHEALTH MANAGED CARE RECIPIENTS WILL BE CONSIDERED CHARITY CARE IF UNRESOLVED AT THE CONCLUSION OF SOUTHCOAST'S COLLECTION PROCESS. THE FOLLOWING ARE EXEMPT FROM ANY COLLECTION OR BILLING PROCEDURES BEYOND THE INITIAL BILL PURSUANT TO STATE REGULATIONS: 1. PATIENTS ENROLLED IN A PUBLIC HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM, EXCEPT SOUTHCOAST MAY SEEK COLLECTION ACTION AGAINST ANY PATIENT ENROLLED IN A PUBLIC HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM FOR THEIR REQUIRED COPAYMENTS AND DEDUCTIBLES AS SET FORTH IN EACH PLAN; 2. SOUTHCOAST MAY INITIATE BILLING AND COLLECTION FOR A PATIENT ALLEGING TO PARTICIPATE IN A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM THAT COVERS THE COSTS OF SOUTHCOAST SERVICES BUT FAILS TO PROVIDE PROOF OF PARTICIPATION; 3. SOUTHCOAST MAY CONTINUE COLLECTION ACTION ON ANY LOW INCOME PATIENT FOR SERVICES RENDERED PRIOR TO THE LOW INCOME DETERMINATION, HOWEVER, COLLECTION ACTION WILL CEASE ONCE ELIGIBILITY IS DETERMINED; AND 4. SOUTHCOAST WILL NOT SEEK COLLECTION FROM AN INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS BEEN APPROVED FOR MEDICAL HARDSHIP UNDER THE MASSACHUSETTS HSN WITH RESPECT TO THE AMOUNT OF THE BILL EXCEEDING THE MEDICAL HARDSHIP CONTRIBUTION. SOUTHCOAST WILL NOT PURSUE COLLECTION FROM A PATIENT INVOLVED IN BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDING AND WILL NOT CHARGE INTEREST IN AN OVERDUE BALANCE OF A LOW INCOME PATIENT.
PART VI, LINE 2	SOUTHCOAST COMPLETED ITS FIRST COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT IN 1998 AND THIS HAS BEEN UPDATED AND EXPANDED UPON ON AN ANNUAL BASIS THROUGH REGULAR ANALYSIS OF PUBLIC HEALTH DATA, PRIMARY DISEASE RATE DATA AVAILABLE THROUGH SOUTHCOASTS HEALTH SYSTEM, AND PERIODIC FOCUS GROUPS, INTERVIEWS AND NEEDS ASSESSMENT MEETINGS WITH COLLABORATIVE PARTNERS. IN 2016, SOUTHCOAST WORKED WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS DARTMOUTH PUBLIC POLICY INSTITUTE TO CONDUCT A COMPREHENSIVE AND EXTENSIVE UPDATE AND ANALYSIS OF SOUTHCOASTS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT WITH A PARTICULAR FOCUS ON IDENTIFYING AND ADDRESING HEALTH DISPARITIES THAT EXIST IN SOUTHCOASTS REGION. THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS NEEDS ASSESSMENT ARE SHARED ON A REGULAR BASIS WITH COMMUNITY GROUPS AND ARE USED FOR PLANNING PURPOSES BY LOCAL AND REGIONAL COALITIONS. FOR FISCAL YEAR 2016, SOURCES FOR SOUTHCOASTS NEEDS ASSESSMENT INCLUDED: - UPDATES OF A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW AND ANALYSIS OF REGIONAL HEALTH DATA. - OVER 30 KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS OF COMMUNITY LEADERS AND RESIDENTS THROUGHOUT THE REGION. - A CANCER DISPARITIES STUDY IN GREATER NEW BEDFORD THAT INCLUDED OVER 100 KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS, EIGHT FOCUS GROUPS AND SURVEYS. - ETHNIC FOCUS GROUPS IN COLLABORATION WITH THE IMMIGRANTS ASSISTANCE CENTER, WHICH WORKS WITH IMMIGRANT POPULATIONS THROUGHOUT THE SOUTH COAST REGION, AND THE GREATER NEW BEDFORD COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER, THE MAJOR PRIMARY HEALTH PROVIDER FOR HISPANIC RESIDENTS IN SOUTHCOASTS REGION. - FOCUS GROUPS AND SURVEYS CONDUCTED IN COLLABORATION WITH VOICES FOR A HEALTHY SOUTHCOAST. - SURVEY DATA ON HEALTH HABITS OF PUBLIC HOUSING RESIDENTS IN NEW BEDFORD, FALL RIVER AND WAREHAM, INCLUDING SMOKING, NUTRITION AND EXERCISE HABITS. THIS SURVEY WAS CONDUCTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH VOICES FOR A HEALTHY SOUTHCOAST AND THE SOUTHCOAST HEALTHY HOUSING AND WORKPLACE INITIATIVE. - FOCUS GROUPS WITH PARENTS OF STUDENTS INVOLVED IN SOUTHCOAST RAPPP YOUTH RISK BEHAVIORS PROGRAM. - DEVELOPMENTAL ASSETS SURVEY DATA CONDUCTED IN 12 MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOLS ON THE SOUTH COAST ALONG WITH YOUTH RISK BEHAVIORS SURVEY DATA FROM URBAN AND SUBURBAN SCHOOL SYSTEMS IN SOUTHCOASTS REGION. - PRIMARY SOUTHCOAST ADMISSIONS DATA ON SUBSTANCE MISUSE ALONG WITH DATA ON OVERDOSES FROM POLICE DEPARTMENTS THROUGHOUT THE REGION. Southcoast's NEEDS ASSESSMENT IS POSTED ON THE SOUTHCOAST WEBSITE AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO ENGAGE IN DIALOGUE CONCERNING THE FINDINGS. <WWW.SOUTHCOAST.ORG/NEWS/BENEFITS/#NEEDSASSESSMENT>
PART VI, LINE 3	SOUTHCOAST POSTS NOTIFICATIONS OF INSURANCE ELIGIBILITY IN MULTIPLE LANGUAGES THROUGHOUT ALL OF SOUTHCOASTS INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT FACILITIES. SOUTHCOAST ALSO UTILIZES MULTILINGUAL OUTREACH BROCHURES, DISPLAYED IN OUR FACILITIES AND ALSO DISTRIBUTED AT A NUMBER OF HEALTH INURANCE OUTREACH EVENTS AND ALSO THROUGH REGULAR OUTREACH IN THE SOUTHCOAST HEALTH VAN. IN 2016, SOUTHCOASTS PATIENT ACCESS DEPARTMENT PROVIDED OUTREACH TO TENS OF THOUSANDS OF RESIDENTS AND ENROLLED OVER 437 MANUAL MASSHEALTH APPLICATIONS, 3,991 AFFORDABLE CARE ACT (ACA) APPLICATIONS, 34 DISABILITY & 81 LONG-TERM CARE APPLICATIONS, AND 8 VIRTUAL GATEWAY APPLICATIONS.
PART VI, LINE 4	SOUTHCOAST HEALTH SYSTEM SERVES A DIVERSE REGION ALONG THE SOUTH COAST OF MASSACHUSETTS, INCLUDING SEVERAL URBAN CENTERS WITH A NUMBER OF DEMOGRAPHIC CHALLENGES, AND RURAL AND SUBURBAN TOWNS. ALTHOUGH THE OVERALL POPULATION HAS GROWN, ACCORDING TO DATA FROM SOUTHCOASTS 2016 NEEDS ASSESSMENT, MOST OF THIS GROWTH HAS OCCURRED IN THE REGION'S TOWNS WHILE THE URBAN POPULATION IN THE CITIES OF FALL RIVER AND NEW BEDFORD IS SHRINKING. PERHAPS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT DEMOGRAPHIC TREND IN THE REGION IS ITS CHANGING RACIAL MAKEUP. THIS IS PARTICULARLY TRUE IN THE CITY OF NEW BEDFORD, WHERE HISPANIC OR LATINO RESIDENTS ACCOUNT FOR 17.5 PERCENT OF ALL RESIDENTS, MUCH HIGHER THAN THE STATE AVERAGE. SINCE 2009, COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE SOUTHCOAST HAVE BECOME MORE DIVERSE. FROM 2009 TO 2014, THE MINORITY POPULATION IN THE REGION INCREASED BY 22.4 PERCENT (10,797 PEOPLE). WAREHAM SAW THE LARGEST PERCENT INCREASE IN ITS MINORITY POPULATION (49.3% OR 1,011 PEOPLE), AND NEW BEDFORD SAW THE LARGEST NOMINAL INCREASE (4,678 PEOPLE OR 17.5%). ADDITIONALLY, AFRICAN-AMERICAN RESIDENTS COMPROMISE A LARGER SHARE OF NEW BEDFORDS POPULATION THAN ELSEWHERE IN THE SOUTHCOAST. INDEED, NON-WHITE RESIDENTS ACCOUNT FOR ONE-THIRD (33.0%) OF NEW BEDFORDS TOTAL POPULATION. AS MAJOR DESTINATIONS FOR THE REGIONS NEWLY ARRIVED IMMIGRANTS, NEW BEDFORD AND FALL RIVER HAVE THE HIGHEST SHARES OF RESIDENTS REPORTING LIMITED PROFICIENCY, 13.7 AND 17.3 PERCENT, RESPECTIVELY. BOTH CITIES ALSO HAVE POCKETS OF UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS, INCLUDING SOUTH AND CENTRAL AMERICANS IN NEW BEDFORD, ALTHOUGH ESTIMATES VARY WIDELY AS TO THE SIZE OF THESE GROUPS. PORTUGUESE SPEAKERS ARE BEING SUPPLANTED BY SPANISH SPEAKERS IN THE REGIONS CITIES, ALTHOUGH SOME PORTUGUESE-ONLY SPEAKERS REMAIN, PARTICULARLY IN FALL RIVER AND NEW BEDFORD BUT ALSO IN SOME OF THE REGIONS SUBURBS SUCH AS ACUSHNET, DARTMOUTH, FAIRHAVEN, AND WESTPORT. THE AGE COHORTS IN THE SOUTHCOAST GENERALLY REFLECT THEIR COUNTERPARTS AT THE STATE LEVEL. HOWEVER, THE REGION HAS A SLIGHTLY HIGHER SHARE OF RESIDENTS 65 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER, WHICH IS MORE PRONOUNCED IN THE REGIONS TOWNS. FALL RIVER AND NEW BEDFORD HAVE LARGER SHARES OF THE POPULATION UNDER THE AGE OF 35 WHEN COMPARED TO THEIR METRO AREAS AND THE SOUTHCOAST OVERALL. SOUTHCOAST HAS LONG STRUGGLED WITH LOW LEVELS OF EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT. WITHIN THE REGION, FALL RIVER AND NEW BEDFORD HAVE PARTICULARLY LOW LEVELS OF EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT. IN BOTH CITIES, LESS THAN HALF OF THE POPULATION 25 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER HAS EVER ATTENDED COLLEGE. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN COMPARED TO THE ADULT POPULATION STATEWIDE, FALL RIVER AND NEW BEDFORD HAVE MORE THAN TWICE THE PERCENTAGE OF ADULTS WHO HAVE NOT COMPLETED HIGH SCHOOL 29.7 PERCENT IN FALL RIVER AND 28.9 PERCENT IN NEW BEDFORD, COMPARED TO 10.5 PERCENT ACROSS THE COMMONWEALTH. MANY SOUTHCOAST COMMUNITIES HAVE SEEN MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOMES EITHER STAGNATE OR DECLINE FROM 2009 TO 2014. EXAMINING THE 2014 MEDIAN INCOMES FOR SOUTHCOAST COMMUNITIES REVEALS A TREND SIMILAR TO THE PER CAPITA INCOMES THE MAJORITY OF THE REGIONS TOWNS HAVE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOMES ABOVE THE STATE AVERAGE. ONLY FOUR COMMUNITIES (FALL RIVER, NEW BEDFORD, FAIRHAVEN, AND WAREHAM) HAVE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOMES BELOW THE STATE MEDIAN. IN PARTICULAR, FALL RIVERS MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME IS LESS THAN HALF THAT OF THE COMMONWEALTH AS A WHOLE. THE SOUTHCOAST IN GENERAL HAS HIGHER POVERTY RATES FOR ALL FAMILIES, FOR FAMILIES LED BY A FEMALE WITH NO SPOUSE PRESENT, AND FOR FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN. IN FALL RIVER AND NEW BEDFORD, THESE MEASURES OF POVERTY ARE HIGHER THAN THE REGION. FOR EXAMPLE, LESS THAN 10 PERCENT OF ALL FAMILIES STATEWIDE LIVE IN POVERTY (8.3%), COMPARED WITH 12.6 PERCENT OF ALL FAMILIES IN THE SOUTHCOAST AND APPROXIMATELY 20 PERCENT OF ALL FAMILIES IN FALL RIVER (19.6%) AND NEW BEDFORD (20.6%). IN NEW BEDFORD IN PARTICULAR, THE SHARE OF FEMALE-LED FAMILIES LIVING IN POVERTY IS NEARLY DOUBLE THE RATE STATEWIDE 41.0 PERCENT COMPARED WITH 25.9 PERCENT. HIGH RATES OF POVERTY AMONG FEMALE-LED FAMILIES HAVE SERIOUS IMPLICATIONS FOR THE HEALTH OUTCOMES OF THESE WOMEN AND THEIR CHILDREN, SINCE THERE IS NO SPOUSE TO SHARE HEALTHCARE RESPONSIBILITIES AND COSTS. THE REGIONS CHANGING RACIAL MAKEUP AND CONTINUED SOCIOECONOMIC STRUGGLES PLACE UNIQUE STRESSES ON HEALTHCARE DELIVERY, PARTICULARLY IN ADDRESSING HEALTH DISPARITIES BASED ON RACE, INCOME, AND EDUCATION. THE REGION'S HEALTH IS AFFECTED BY THE PHYSICAL CONDITIONS OF THE SOUTH COAST. THIS INCLUDES ACCESS TO AMENITIES THAT FACILITATE HEALTHY EATING AND ACTIVE LIVING, AIR QUALITY, AND SOURCES OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION. THE ANALYSIS SHOWS THAT SOUTHCOAST RESIDENTS FACE ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS THAT MAY BE A DETRIMENT TO THEIR HEALTH. FOR EXAMPLE: - BRISTOL COUNTY, WHICH COMPRISES MOST OF THE SOUTHCOAST SERVICES AREA, HAS THE SECOND LOWEST FOOD ENVIRONMENT INDEX IN THE STATE, INDICATING SIGNIFICANT BARRIERS TO HEALTHY FOOD ACCESS. - SOUTHCOAST RESIDENTS ALSO HAVE LESS ACCESS TO RECREATION AND FITNESS FACILITIES THAN MASSACHUSETTS RESIDENTS AS A WHOLE. IN BRISTOL COUNTY THERE ARE 13.7 SUCH FACILITIES PER 100,000 RESIDENTS VERSUS 15.9 STATEWIDE. PLYMOUTH COUNTY RESIDENTS HAVE COMPARATIVELY BETTER ACCESS WITH 18.0 FACILITIES FOR EVERY 100,000 RESIDENTS. - THE SOUTHCOAST IS HOME TO A NUMBER OF SITES THAT CONTAIN AND/OR GENERATE CONTAMINANTS THAT CAN NEGATIVELY AFFECT RESIDENTS HEALTH. FALL RIVER IS HOME TO 427 CONTAMINATED SITES, 71 OF WHICH PRESENT SUFFICIENT HAZARDS AS TO LIMIT ACTIVITY ON AND USE OF THESE PARCELS; IN NEW BEDFORD, 78 OUT OF 583 BROWNFIELD SITES ARE SO LIMITED.
PART VI, LINE 5	SOUTHCOAST HOSPITALS GROUP IN 2016 INVESTED IN DIRECT SERVICES AND PROGRAMS THAT ARE DESIGNED TO ADDRESS PRESSING HEALTH ISSUES IN SOUTHCOAST REGION. SOUTHCOAST COLLABORATED WITH HUNDREDS OF COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO ADOPT BEST PRACTICES IN COMMUNITY BENEFITS NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION, WITH THE SHARED GOAL OF IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF SOUTHCOASTS COMMUNITIES. COMMUNITY BENEFITS PRIORITIES THIS PAST YEAR INCLUDED: - REDUCTION OF THE HIGH RATE OF CHRONIC DISEASE IN SOUTHCOASTS REGION INCLUDING HEART DISEASE, DIABETES AND ASTHMA THROUGH HEALTH EDUCATION OUTREACH AND PROGRAMMING. - REDUCTION IN THE INCIDENCE OF YOUTH RISK BEHAVIORS SUCH AS HIGH RATES OF TEEN PREGNANCY AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE, YOUTH VIOLENCE AND LOW RATES OF EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT. ONE PROGRAM HAD A SPECIAL FOCUS ON MINORITY YOUTH IN GREATER NEW BEDFORD, THROUGH EFFORTS TO ENCOURAGE HEALTHY BEHAVIORS, ACADEMIC SUCCESS AND LIFE SKILLS. - IMPROVING ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE, PARTICULARLY ENROLLMENT IN HEALTH INSURANCE AS A RESULT OF THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT. - EXPANDING CANCER SCREENING AND EDUCATION, WITH A PARTICULAR FOCUS ON REDUCING DISPARITIES IN ACCESS TO PREVENTIVE AND COMPREHENSIVE CARE. SOUTHCOAST WAS ABLE TO MAKE STRIDES IN EARLY SCREENINGS FOR COLON CANCER AMONG ETHNIC POPULATIONS WHO HAD LOW SCREENING RATES. - ADDRESSING OVERALL HEALTH DISPARITIES THAT EXIST IN SOUTHCOASTS REGION AMONG CERTAIN RACIAL, ETHNIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC GROUPS. - ADVOCACY AND PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT THAT ADDRESSES "SYSTEM AND ENVIRONMENT CHANGE" DESIGNED TO INCREASE HEALTHY LIFESTYLE OPTIONS AND DECREASE RISK FACTORS, SUCH AS A HIGH RATE OF SMOKING, LACK OF ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOODS AND PHYSICAL INACTIVITY. THIS PAST YEAR SOUTHCOAST SUPPORTED TARGETED RESIDENT RESEARCH PROJECTS IN TWO OF THE MOST VULNERABLE NEIGHBORHOODS. - ADDRESSING HOMELESSNESS IN SOUTHCOASTS REGION, PARTICULARLY IN WAREHAM, WHERE THE COUNTS OF UNSHELTERED HOMELESS APPROACH THOSE IN THE MUCH LARGER CITIES IN SOUTHCOASTS REGION. SOUTHCOAST HELPED LEAD A LOCAL COALITION WHICH HAS SUCCEEDED IN SECURITY HOUSING FOR 33 CHRONICALLY HOMELESS RESIDENTS IN THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS. SOUTHCOAST ALSO BECAME AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE NEW BEDFORD HOMELESS SERVICE PROVIDERS NETWORK AND JOINED A COMMUNITY CRISIS INTERVENTION TEAM IN NEW BEDFORD THAT LINKS HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES PROVIDERS IN CASE MANAGEMENT EFFORTS FOR VULNERABLE RESIDENTS. THESE RESIDENTS MAY BE AT RISK FOR HOMELESSNESS OR NEED ASSISTANCE IN OVERCOMING SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH BARRIERS. - BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ISSUES THAT INCLUDE SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. SOUTHCOAST SERVES A LARGE POPULATION WITH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ISSUES AND POORLY COORDINATED CARE IMPACTS SOUTHCOASTS EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS. NEEDS ASSESSMENT SHOWS SOUTHCOASTS REGIONAL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SYSTEM IS FRAGMENTED AND POORLY COORDINATED. SOUTHCOAST PROVIDES AN ONLINE RESOURCE DATABASE, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CONNECT, WHICH WAS UTILIZED BY AN AVERAGE OF 811 COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND RESIDENTS EACH MONTH. TARGETED ACTIVITIES INCLUDED: BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ISSUES INCREASED USE OF SOUTHCOASTS BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CONNECT DATABASE WHICH LINKS PROVIDERS AND RESIDENTS WITH UP-TO-DATE RESOURCES FOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES. A NUMBER OF SOUTHCOASTS STAFF ALSO PLAYED A LEADERSHIP ROLE IN 10 LOCAL AND REGIONAL COALITIONS TO ADDRESS THE OPIOID CRISIS, INCLUDING SEVERAL WHICH EXPANDED THE AVAILABILITY OF NARCAN IN SOUTHCOASTS REGION. SMOKING CESSATION CONTINUED WORK ON SMOKING CESSATION AND PREVENTION THAT ENCOMPASSES REGULATORY SYSTEM AND ENVIRONMENT CHANGE ALONG WITH EDUCATION AND CLINICAL SUPPORT FOR SMOKING CESSATION. THE SOUTHCOAST HEALTH VAN THIS PAST YEAR SECURED A GRANT FROM THE THORACIC FOUNDATION TO EXPAND SMOKING CESSATION SUPPORT FOR PUBLIC HOUSING RESIDENTS THROUGHOUT THE REGION, AS MORE MUNICIPAL HOUSING AUTHORITIES IN SOUTHCOASTS REGION EMBRACE SMOKE-FREE REGULATIONS. HEALTH SCREENINGS OUTREACH TO VULNERABLE RESIDENTS WITH A RANGE OF HEALTH SCREENINGS AND REFERRALS. OVER 7,368 RESIDENTS VISITED SOUTHCOASTS HEALTH VAN, A 76% INCREASE OVER THE PAST YEAR. VAN STAFF PROVIDED OVER 11,566 SCREENINGS AND 598 VACCINATIONS. THIS INCLUDED SCREENINGS FOR CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE, CANCER, DIABETES AND STROKE AND TARGETED SOUTHCOASTS MOST VULNERABLE AND UNDER-SERVED POPULATIONS. YOUTH RISK BEHAVIORS EDUCATION ON TEEN PREGNANCY AND OTHER YOUTH RISK FACTORS THAT REACHED OVER 3,210 TEENS IN 11 AREA SCHOOLS AND OVER 1,600 TEENS AT AN AFTER SCHOOL DROP-IN CENTER AT SOUTHCOASTS RAPPP OFFICES IN NEW BEDFORD. SOUTHCOAST ALSO REACHED OVER 3,300 INMATES IN THE BRISTOL COUNTY HOUSE OF CORRECTION WITH PARENTING EDUCATION. AN INTENSIVE, AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM REGULARLY SERVED OVER 50 MINORITY YOUNG MEN. HEALTH INSURANCE TARGETED OUTREACH THAT HELPED OVER 4,470 RESIDENTS OBTAIN HEALTH INSURANCE. SOUTHCOASTS PATIENT ACCESS TEAM CONDUCTED OVER 20 OUTREACH EVENTS THAT REACHED THOUSANDS OF VULNERABLE RESIDENTS WHO STILL LACK HEALTH INSURANCE OR HAVE DIFFICULTY RENEWING THEIR HEALTH INSURANCE. COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS COLLABORATION AND PROGRAMMING TO ADDRESS HEALTH EQUITY ISSUES IN SOUTHCOASTS REGION BY WORKING TO INCREASE THE CAPACITY AND TRAINING OF COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS, PARTICULARLY THOSE SERVING RESIDENTS WHO FACE CULTURAL, LINGUISTIC AND ECONOMIC BARRIERS TO HEALTH CARE.

FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C	SHS HAS CONFLICT OF INTEREST, LEGAL COMPLIANCE AND CODE OF CONDUCT POLICIES THAT APPLY TO ALL TRUSTEES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND EMPLOYEES (REFERRED TO AS "MEMBERS"). ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, EACH MEMBER WILL COMPLETE THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST QUESTIONNAIRE WHICH AFFIRMS THAT EACH PERSON HAS: (1) RECEIVED A COPY OF THE POLICY; (2) READ AND UNDERSTOOD THE POLICY; (3) AGREED TO COMPLY WITH THE POLICY, AND (4) UNDERSTOOD THAT THE SYSTEM ENTITIES ARE CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS AND THAT TO MAINTAIN THEIR FEDERAL TAX EXEMPTION, SUCH ENTITIES MUST ENGAGE PRIMARILY IN ACTIVITIES WHICH ACCOMPLISH ONE OR MORE OF ITS TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES. TO ENSURE THE SYSTEM OPERATES IN A MANNER CONSISTENT WITH ITS CHARITABLE PURPOSES, DOES NOT ENGAGE IN ACTIVITIES THAT COULD JEOPARDIZE ITS STATUS AS AN ORGANIZATION EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL TAXATION, AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROGRAM, SYSTEM'S MANAGEMENT SHALL CONDUCT PERIODIC REVIEWS OF THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY AND THE OPERATION AND APPLICATION OF IT. MEMBERS SHALL DISCLOSE ANY INTERESTS OR ACTIVITIES IN WHICH THEY ARE INVOLVED OR BECOME INVOLVED THAT DO RESULT, OR MAY APPEAR TO RESULT IN A CONFLICT OF INTEREST OR POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND SHALL COMPLY WITH, AND MAKE ALL REQUIRED DISCLOSURES UNDER THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY PRIOR TO COMMENCING, CONTINUING, OR CONSUMMATING ANY ACTIVITY OR TRANSACTION WHICH RAISES A CONFLICT OF INTEREST OR A POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST. EACH MEMBER IS UNDER AN ONGOING DUTY TO UPDATE AND KEEP CURRENT THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THEIR QUESTIONNAIRE. AT LEAST ANNUALLY, OR AS NECESSARY BASED ON DISLCOSURES, THE GENERAL COUNSEL WILL SUMMARIZE AND REPORT ALL DISCLOSURES TO THE PRESIDENT AND CEO AND THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES (OR HIS/HER DESIGNEE). UPON DISCLOSURE OF FINANCIAL OR NON-FINANCIAL INTERESTS ("INTERESTS") AND ALL MATERIAL FACTS RELATED THERETO BY MEMBER OR AN INTERESTED PERSON, THE CHAIR OF THE SYSTEM'S GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE SHALL DETERMINE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE GENERAL COUNSEL WHETHER A CONFLICT OF INTERESTS EXISTS. THE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE CAN CONTINUE TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE WITH THE MEMBER OR INTERESTED PERSON TO CLARIFY OR OBTAIN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. HOWEVER, BEFORE THE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE DISCUSSES OR DETERMINES WHETHER THE MEMBER OR OTHER INTERESTED PERSON'S INTERESTS CONSTITUTE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST, THE MEMBER OR INTERESTED PERSON MUST LEAVE THE MEETING. IN THE EVENT THE INTEREST INVOLVES THE CHAIR OR CEO, THE REMAINING GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE MEMBERS SHALL APPOINT ONE OR MORE DISINTERESTED TRUSTEES TO MAKE SUCH A DETERMINATION. ONCE THE DETERMINATION OF THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST IS MADE BY THE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE, SUCH DETERMINATION, ALONG WITH APPROPRIATE MITIGATION PLANS, WILL BE SUBMITTED BY THE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL. IF ANY BOARD OR BOARD COMMITTEE HAS REASONABLE CAUSE TO BELIEVE THAT A MEMBER HAS FAILED TO DISCLOSE AN ACTUAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST OR A POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST, IT SHALL INFORM SUCH PERSON OF THE BASIS FOR SUCH BELIEF AND AFFORD SUCH A MEMBER AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLAIN THE ALLEGED FAILURE TO DISCLOSE IT. IF, AFTER HEARING THE RESPONSE OF SUCH PERSON AND MAKING FURTHER INQUIRY OR INVESTIGATION AS WARRANTED BY THE CIRCUMSTANCES, THE BOARD OR BOARD COMMITTEE DETERMINES THAT SUCH PERSON HAS IN FACT FAILED TO DISLCOSE AN ACTUAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST OR A POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST, THE APPROPRIATE DISCIPLINARY AND CORRECTIVE ACTION SHALL BE TAKEN.
