DURING THE REVIEW PROCESS, MASS. EYE AND EAR REVIEWED UNMET NEEDS, INCLUDING MISSION HILL, AND SET GOALS THAT ALIGN WITH THE GOAL OF THE ORGANIZATION'S COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN. AS A SPECIALTY HOSPITAL WITH 18 LOCATIONS (INCLUDING 243 CHARLES STREET AND 800 HUNTINGTON AVENUE), MASS. EYE AND EAR WORKS TO MEET NEEDS IN ITS SPECIALTY AREA, INCLUDING IMPROVING VISION AND HEARING, ENSURING TARGET POPULATIONS HAVE ACCESS TO EDUCATION AND SUPPORT. OTHER IDENTIFIED NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY OUTSIDE OF OUR SPECIALTY AREAS ARE ADDRESSED BY OTHER INSTITUTIONS IN OUR COMMUNITY. |

| SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 3C | IN ADDITION TO FPG, THE ORGANIZATION CONSIDERS ASSETS, UNPAID MEDICAL EXPENSES, AND EXTRAORDINARY FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES (UNEMPLOYMENT AND OTHER FINANCIAL STRESSES) WHEN REVIEWING AN INDIVIDUALS APPLICATION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. |
| SCHEDULE H, PART II | THE MASSACHUSETTS EYE AND EAR INFIRMARY ("THE INFIRMARY") AND ITS AFFILIATED ORGANIZATIONS (COLLECTIVELY "MEEI") PROVIDED COMMUNITY BUILDING HEALTH IMPROVEMENT ADVOCACY BY PROVIDING EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES AND SUPPORT, INCLUDING HOSTED SUPPORT GROUPS, FOCUSING ON HEALTH CONDITIONS IN OUR SPECIALTIES TO PATIENTS AND THE PUBLIC. PLEASE SEE PAGE 21 OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN POSTED ON THE MEEI WEBSITE, WWW.MASSEYEANDEAR.ORG, FOR DETAILS. |
| SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINES 2 - 4 | BAD DEBTS ARE WRITTEN OFF AT GROSS CHARGES. FOR UNINSURED CLAIMS (SELF-PAY), BAD DEBTS ARE DISCOUNTED TO COST USING THE HOSPITAL COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE RELATED TO CO-PAYS, DEDUCTIBLES, AND COINSURANCE THAT IS WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBT IS ALREADY REPORTED AT COST AND IS DEDUCTED FROM THE INSURANCE-ALLOWED AMOUNT. SEE FINANCIAL STATEMENT, PAGES 23 24. |
| SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 8 | THE SHORTFALL REPORTED ON PART III, LINE 7 SHOULD BE CONSIDERED COMMUNITY BENEFIT BECAUSE REIMBURSEMENT FROM MEDICARE DOES NOT COVER THE COST OF TREATING PATIENTS. MEEI HAS A POLICY TO TREAT ALL PATIENTS, REGARDLESS OF THE PAYER. AS A PRIMARILY OUT-PATIENT FACILITY, WITH ONLY TWO SPECIALTIES, MEEI CANNOT BENEFIT FROM RELATIVELY HIGHER MEDICARE PAYMENTS FOR SOME SPECIALTIES OR HIGHER INPATIENT MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENT. WITHOUT COMPROMISING PATIENT CARE, MEEI HAS LIMITED MEANS FOR REDUCING COSTS. MEEI USES A COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM THAT IS COMPRISED OF A STEP-DOWN METHODOLOGY FOR ALLOCATING HOSPITAL OVERHEAD THAT IS SIMILAR TO THAT USED FOR THE MEDICARE COST REPORT. ALL INDIRECT COSTS ARE ALLOCATED TO PATIENT CARE COST CENTER, TEACHING AND RESEARCH. FULLY-LOADED PATIENT CARE COSTS ARE ALLOCATED TO PATIENTS USING BILLED UNITS, UNIT COSTS, AND ALLOCATION ALGORITHMS SPECIFIC TO EACH COST CENTER. |
| SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 9B | PATIENTS ARE NOTIFIED ON ALL BILLING STATEMENTS OF THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND THE CONTACT INFORMATION OF THE APPROPRIATE STAFF MEMBERS WHO ARE AVAILABLE TO ASSIST IN THE PROCESS. MEEI'S POLICY INCORPORATES SPECIFIC BILLING PRACTICES RELATING TO PATIENTS WHO ARE ELGIBILE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. |
| SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 2 | MASS. EYE AND EAR ENGAGED THE SERVICES OF CONSULTANTS TO JOIN THE CB WORKING GROUP AND GUIDE THE ASSESSMENT PROCESSES, WHICH TOOK PLACE DURING THE FALL 2015/WINTER 2016. KENEFICK AND BAXTER HAD WORKED WITH MASS. EYE AND EAR ON ITS LAST TWO ASSESSMENTS AS WELL. THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT WAS A THREE-STEP PROCESS DESIGNED TO: (1) IDENTIFY THE MASS. EYE AND EAR TARGET AREAS AND POPULATIONS FOR ITS COMMUNITY BENEFIT PLAN (2) ASSESS UNMET NEEDS IN THE SERVICE AREA AND AMONG TARGET POPULATIONS (3) ASSESS NEEDS IN MISSION HILL FOR MOST MASSACHUSETTS HOSPITALS, COMMUNITY-LEVEL DATA AVAILABLE THROUGH THE MASSACHUSETTS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND BOSTON PUBLIC HEALTH COMMISSION ARE USEFUL IN UNDERSTANDING THE SPECIFIC HEALTH NEEDS OF COMMUNITIES AND THOSE IN WHICH DISPARITIES EXIST. THESE DATA ARE TYPICALLY USED TO SELECT VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES AND POPULATIONS AND TO TARGET SERVICES TO ADDRESS PARTICULAR HEALTH ISSUES AND DISPARITIES. BECAUSE NEITHER THE BOSTON PUBLIC HEALTH COMMISSION NOR THE MASSACHUSETTS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH COLLECT AND REPORT DATA ON VISION, HEARING AND OTHER HEAD AND NECK CONDITIONS IN MASSACHUSETTS COMMUNITIES, MASS. EYE AND EAR HAD TO RELY ON ITS OWN PATIENT DATA, CENSUS DATA, AND GUIDANCE FROM THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION TO DEFINE ITS TARGET COMMUNITIES AND POPULATIONS AND TO FORMULATE OBJECTIVES FOR ITS COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN. |
| SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 3 | MEEI, AS A FACILITY, WORKS TO ACTIVELY INFORM PATIENTS OF OUR PROGRAMS AND RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO THEM TO HELP WITH FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. BILLING BROCHURES ARE AVAILABLE IN ALL DEPARTMENTAL WAITING AREAS, WHICH EXPLAIN THE BILLING PROCESS AND THE PATIENT'S OPTIONS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. IN ADDITION, THE MEEI EXTERNAL WEBSITE CONTAINS A DEDICATED PAGE WHICH HIGHLIGHTS THE BASIC FEDERAL, AND MASSACHUSETTS EYE AND EAR, PROGRAMS. IT ALSO PROVIDES CONTACT INFORMATION FOR MEEI'S FINANCIAL COORDINATORS. THE FINANCIAL COORDINATION PROCESS IS DESIGNED TO EVALUATE THE PATIENTS' FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PAY AND TO RECOMMEND AND ASSIST THE PATIENT WITH ENROLLING IN ANY APPLICABLE GOVERNMENT OR PRIVATE PROGRAMS. WHEN ALL AVENUES HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED, CHARITABLE CARE CRITERIA ARE REVIEWED. |

PATIENTS FROM OUTSIDE OF MASSACHUSETTS WERE EXCLUDED FROM ANALYSES, LEAVING A REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE OF 91,915 PATIENTS WHO UTILIZED SERVICES AT MASS.

| NOTE THAT WITHIN THE DATA SET, SOME PATIENTS WERE LISTED AS LIVING IN | BOSTON WITH NO SPECIFIED NEIGHBORHOOD, WHEREAS OTHERS WERE LISTED AS LIVING IN ONE OF BOSTONS 21 NEIGHBORHOODS. IN FACT, DATA WERE AVAILABLE FOR 13 OF THE 21 NEIGHBORHOODS. RATHER THAN ROLL THE DATA FOR THE 13 NEIGHBORHOODS INTO THE BOSTON NUMBERS, THE CONSULTANTS KEPT THE DATA SEPARATE TO UNDERSTAND WHICH NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE SIGNIFICANT NUMBERS OF MASS. EYE AND EAR PATIENTS. HOWEVER, IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE ACTUAL NUMBERS ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS SHOULD BE HIGHER, AS SOME PATIENTS LIVING IN THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS ARE SIMPLY CLASSIFIED AS LIVING IN BOSTON. OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS OF BOSTON MAY ALSO BE HOME TO LARGE NUMBERS OF MASS. EYE AND EAR PATIENTS BUT, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT BROKEN OUT, WE DO NOT KNOW HOW MANY PATIENTS RESIDE IT THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS.

HOWEVER, MEANS-TESTED PUBLIC HEALTH INSURANCE PLANS (E.G., MASSHEALTH, NETWORK HEALTH, BMC HEALTH NET, HEALTH SAFETY NET) MAY BE USED AS A PROXY FOR LOWER SES. ADDITIONALLY, THOSE WHOSE PAYER WAS LISTED AS A SOURCE OF CHARITABLE CARE OR WHO ARE LISTED AS SELF-PAY ARE CONSIDERED UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED. THESE PROXIES LIKELY LEAD TO AN UNDER-ESTIMATION OF THE PERCENTAGE OF LOW-INCOME PATIENTS. FOR EXAMPLE, MOST PATIENTS WHO ARE 65 AND OVER HAVE SOME FORM OF MEDICARE AS THEIR PAYMENT METHOD, WHICH PROVIDES NO INDICATION OF SES. DESPITE SUCH LIMITATIONS, THE DATA INDICATE THAT AT LEAST 15.1% OF MASS. EYE AND EAR'S PATIENTS ARE LOW-INCOME AND 2.2% ARE UNINSURED OR UNDER-INSURED. PROFILES OF MASS. EYE AND EAR'S LOW-INCOME PATIENTS AND PATIENTS OF COLOR: PATIENTS WITH LOW SES OR WHO ARE UN/UNDER-INSURED BASED ON PAYMENT METHOD DATA, AT LEAST 15,846 (17.2%) OF MASS.

EYE AND EAR'S GERIATRIC AND PEDIATRIC POPULATIONS: MASS. EYE AND EAR HAS CLINICAL EXPERTISE IN SERVING PEDIATRIC AND GERIATRIC PATIENTS. THESE POTENTIALLY VULNERABLE GROUPS WERE SELECTED BY THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS STEERING COMMITTEE AS PRIORITY POPULATIONS FOR MASS. EYE AND EAR'S COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN DUE TO THE IMPACT OF HEARING/VISION IMPAIRMENT ON CHILDREN'S DEVELOPMENT AND HEARING/VISION IMPAIRMENT AND BALANCE ISSUES ON THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF ELDERS. SENIORS (AGE 65+): PATIENTS AGED 65 AND OVER MAKE UP 31.6% OF THOSE SEEN AT MASS. EYE AND EAR DURING THE SELECTED TIMEFRAME, A TOTAL OF 29,060 INDIVIDUALS. AMONG SENIOR PATIENTS, 56.2% ARE FEMALE.

EYE AND EAR'S PATIENTS RESIDE AND WHERE THE LARGEST CONCENTRATIONS OF VULNERABLE PATIENTS (E.G., CHILDREN, SENIORS, THOSE WITH LOW SES OR WHO ARE UN/UNDER-INSURED) LIVE. THE U.S. CENSUS DATA FOR MASSACHUSETTS' COUNTIES SHOW THAT: SUFFOLK COUNTY IS HOME TO THE LARGEST NUMBER AND HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF THE STATE'S RESIDENTS LIVING BELOW THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. TOGETHER, SUFFOLK AND MIDDLESEX COUNTIES ARE HOME TO 28.9% OF THE COMMONWEALTH'S RESIDENTS WHO LIVE BELOW THE POVERTY LINE.

EYE AND EAR WILL LIKELY REACH THE GREATEST CONCENTRATION OF ITS CURRENT PATIENTS, ITS MOST VULNERABLE PATIENTS (I.E., SENIORS, CHILDREN, THOSE WITH LOW SES), AS WELL AS NON-PATIENTS WHO ARE SENIORS, CHILDREN, AND THOSE LIVING IN POVERTY WHO MAY BENEFIT FROM MASS. EYE AND EAR'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT ACTIVITIES. ACCORDING TO THE DONAHUE INSTITUTE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS, THE SENIOR POPULATION (65+) IS PROJECTED TO STEADILY INCREASE OVER THE NEXT 15 YEARS WHEREAS THE POPULATION OF CHILDREN WILL REMAIN RELATIVELY STABLE PROJECTED PROPORTIONS OF SENIORS AND CHILDREN IN MA (2015-2030) |
| (SENIORS; CHILDREN) | 2015: 15.3%; 22.9% 2020: 16.9%; 22.4% 2025: 19.1%; 22.3% 2030: 21.1%; 22.5% THESE PROJECTIONS SUGGEST THAT THE NEED FOR MASS. EYE AND EAR'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT ACTIVITIES TARGETING SENIORS AND CHILDREN WILL PERSIST (AND EVEN GROW FOR SENIORS) OVER THE THREE YEARS OF THIS PLAN. CONCLUSIONS: BASED ON THE CENSUS DATA AND MASS EYE AND EAR'S OWN PATIENT DATA, THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS COMMITTEE CONCLUDED THAT, ALTHOUGH MASS. EYE AND EAR CARES FOR PATIENTS FROM ALL OVER THE COMMONWEALTH, THE HOSPITALS PRIMARY SERVICE AREA INCLUDES THE COMMUNITIES WITHIN THE ROUTE 128 BELT. ANALYSES ALSO SHOWED THAT LARGE NUMBERS OF CHILDREN, ELDERLY, AND LOW-INCOME PATIENTS AND PATIENTS OF COLOR RESIDE WITHIN THIS SERVICE AREA. THE COMMITTEE FURTHER CONCLUDED THAT, GIVEN THE NUMBER OF LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES AND PROPORTION OF PEOPLE OF COLOR RESIDING WITHIN ITS PRIMARY SERVICE AREA, MEMBERS OF MASS EYE AND EAR'S TARGET POPULATION ARE VERY LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE BARRIERS TO CARE RELATED TO DIVERSITY (E.G., LANGUAGE) AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC FACTORS. DUE TO THE FACTORS THAT MAKE CHILDREN, SENIORS AND LOW-INCOME INDIVIDUALS AND PEOPLE OF COLOR VULNERABLE, THESE GROUPS WILL BE PRIORITIZED WITHIN THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN. ALTHOUGH THE PLAN SHOULD NOT EXCLUDE THOSE LIVING OUTSIDE THE METRO-BOSTON AREA, IT SHOULD EMPHASIZE SERVICES FOR THOSE LIVING WITHIN IT BECAUSE RESIDENTS ARE SO LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE BARRIERS TO CARE. MASS. EYE AND EAR SHOULD BUILD UPON A SOLID FOUNDATION OF OUTREACH AND SERVICE PROVISION TO METRO-BOSTON COMMUNITIES AND INCLUDE STRATEGIES FOR IMPROVING ACCESS TO CARE IN THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN. |
| STEP 2. ASSESS UNMET NEEDS IN THE SERVICE AREA AND AMONG THE TARGET | POPULATIONS WITH DATA FROM PROVIDERS AND STAFF AT MASS. EYE AND EAR AND EXTERNAL PARTNERS AT ORGANIZATIONS SERVING THE TARGET POPULATIONS AND COMMUNITIES, THE CB WORKING GROUP IDENTIFIED THE UNMET NEEDS THAT, AS AN INSTITUTION, MASS. EYE AND EAR IS UNIQUELY POSITIONED TO ADDRESS BECAUSE OF ITS CLINICAL SERVICES AND EXPERTISE. THROUGH ON-GOING DIALOG AND CONVERSATIONS OVER THE FALL AND WINTER, THE CB WORKING GROUP LED THE PROCESS TO IDENTIFY THE RESOURCE NEEDS. THE NEEDS ARE SIMILAR TO THOSE IDENTIFIED IN THE HOSPITAL'S LAST COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN. - TO EXTEND VISION SCREENING AND HEARING EXAMINATIONS AND FOLLOW UP CARE TO INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE NO OR VERY LIMITED ACCESS TO SUCH SERVICES. - FOR RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGICAL SERVICES FOR SURVIVORS OF VIOLENCE WHO EXPERIENCED PHYSICAL INJURIES TO THE HEAD AND/OR NECK. - FOR EDUCATION, SCREENING AND SUPPORT FOR HEAD AND NECK CANCERS. - FOR EDUCATION AND SUPPORT RELATED TO FACIAL PARALYSIS AND CONDITIONS THAT AFFECT SMELL AND TASTE. - FOR RESOURCES TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO CARE FOR MEMBERS OF THE TARGET COMMUNITIES WHO WOULD BENEFIT FROM MASS. EYE AND EAR SERVICES BUT WHO ARE UNABLE TO GET THE CARE THEY NEED DUE TO LINGUISTIC OR FINANCIAL ISSUES, LACK OF TRANSPORTATION, OR A LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THEIR CONDITIONS AND THE SERVICES TO ADDRESS THEM. - FOR FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF NON-PROFITS ENGAGED IN UNIQUE AND HIGH QUALITY WORK TO ADDRESS VISION, HEARING OR OTHER CONCERNS OF THE HEAD AND NECK IN THE TARGET COMMUNITIES AND/OR AMONG THE TARGET POPULATIONS. WITH GROWTH IN THE SENIOR POPULATION, THE INCREASE IN INCOME DISPARITIES, AND THE SMALL NUMBER OF INSTITUTIONS OFFERING THE CLINICAL EXPERTISE AND SERVICES AVAILABLE AT MASS. EYE AND EAR WITHIN METRO BOSTON, THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS COMMITTEE CONCLUDED THAT THE NEEDS ARE LIKELY TO PERSIST FOR MANY YEARS TO COME. SOME OF THE IDENTIFIED NEEDS (I.E., THOSE RELATED TO AWARENESS AND EDUCATION) AFFECT LARGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE IN THE TARGET AREA. OTHERS AFFECT SMALLER GROUPS OF PEOPLE, EITHER BECAUSE POCKETS OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCE IMPEDED ACCESS TO SERVICES THAT ARE OTHERWISE GENERALLY AVAILABLE OR BECAUSE A CLINICAL CONDITION IS RARE AND THE RESOURCES TO ADDRESS IT ARE EXTREMELY LIMITED. CONCLUSION: THE CB WORKING GROUP AND THE HOSPITAL LEADERSHIP CONCLUDED THAT THE UNMET NEEDS IDENTIFIED DURING THE METRO BOSTON ASSESSMENT WERE ALIGNED WITH THE CAPABILITIES OF THE HOSPITAL AND ITS COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND SHOULD BE USED TO FORMULATE GOALS FOR THE FY16-18 COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN. |
| STEP 3. ASSESS NEEDS IN MISSION HILL | AS NOTED EARLIER, MASS. EYE AND EAR DECIDED TO BROADEN ITS COMMUNITY BENEFITS WORK TO PROVIDE TARGETED PROGRAMMING IN THE MISSION HILL NEIGHBORHOOD IN 2012 WITH THE OPENING OF A MULTI-SPECIALTY AMBULATORY CARE CENTER AT 800 HUNTINGTON AVENUE ON MISSION HILL. MISSION HILL IS ONE SQUARE MILE, THREE-QUARTERS OF WHICH IS RESIDENTIAL. THE OTHER QUARTER IS COMPRISED OF THE LONGWOOD MEDICAL AREA. ACCORDING A REPORT BASED ON 2010 CENSUS DATA, MISSION HILL IS HOME TO 16,305 RESIDENTS, 19.7% OF WHOM ARE HISPANIC/LATINO. JUST UNDER 46% OF THE POPULATION IS A RACE OTHER THAN WHITE. ROUGHLY 21% OF THE MISSION HILL POPULATION IS 19 YEARS OF AGE OR YOUNGER AND 9.1% IS 65 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER. AN AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY (2005-2009) ESTIMATE REPORT ESTIMATES THAT 3,711 OR 28.1% OF MISSION HILL RESIDENTS WERE BORN OUTSIDE OF THE U.S. AND THAT 48.5% OF THOSE ARE NOT CURRENTLY U.S. CITIZENS. THE RANGE OF COUNTRIES OF ORIGIN DEMONSTRATES THE RICH ETHNIC DIVERSITY OF MISSION HILL RESIDENTS. ROUGHLY HALF OF MISSION HILL'S CHILDREN AND 60% OF ADULTS SPEAK A FOREIGN LANGUAGE AT HOME AND MANY EXPERIENCE LINGUISTIC ISOLATION BECAUSE THEY SPEAK LITTLE OR NO ENGLISH. LANGUAGES REPRESENTED INCLUDE SPANISH (35.1%), INDO-EUROPEAN LANGUAGES (38%), ASIAN AND PACIFIC ISLAND LANGUAGES (31.5%), AND OTHER LANGUAGES (17.4%). PLACE OF BIRTH FOR MISSION HILL'S FOREIGN-BORN POPULATION CHINA: 899; 24.2% SINGAPORE: 70; 1.9% INDIA: 422; 11.4% FRANCE: 66; 1.8% DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: 399; 10.8% CROATIA: 53; 1.4% IRELAND: 168; 4.5% CANADA: 53; 1.4% RUSSIA: 142; 3.8% TRINIDAD & TOBAGO: 51; 1.4% VIETNAM: 138; 3.7% GREECE: 46; 1.2% KOREA: 120; 3.2% JAPAN: 45; 1.2% COLOMBIA: 100; 2.7% JAMAICA: 42; 1.1% ERITREA: 90; 2.4% UZBEKISTAN: 41; 1.1% UKRAINE: 76; 2.0% NICARAGUA: 40; 1.1% FOR MISSION HILL ADULTS OVER THE AGE OF 25 (N=8,014), 18.5% HAVE LESS THAN A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA, 21.7% HAVE A HIGH SCHOOL DEGREE OR GED, 17.4% HAVE SOME COLLEGE OR AN ASSOCIATE'S DEGREE, AND 42.5% HAVE A BACHELOR'S DEGREE OR HIGHER. IN 2009, AN ESTIMATED 19.3% OF MISSION HILL RESIDENTS EARNED LESS THAN $10,000 A YEAR. MORE THAN HALF (53.6%) EARNED LESS THAN $40,000 PER YEAR. IN CONTRAST, 12.6% EARNED $100,000 OR MORE IN THE SAME 12 MONTHS. THE PER CAPITA INCOME IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS (IN 2009 INFLATION-ADJUSTED DOLLARS) WAS $24,121. OF THE 7,190 PEOPLE WHO CONSIDER THEMSELVES LABOR FORCE ELIGIBLE, 88.4% ARE EMPLOYED. MISSION HILL IS HOME TO MORE THAN 20 HEALTH CARE, RESEARCH AND ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS. JUST OVER 48% OF MISSION HILL EMPLOYEES HOLD PROFESSIONAL AND MANAGERIAL ROLES. ANOTHER 18.3% ARE IN SERVICE OCCUPATIONS, 23.9% ARE IN SALES AND OFFICE JOBS, AND 9.4% ARE IN A RANGE OF OTHER OCCUPATIONS, INCLUDING CONSTRUCTION, TRANSPORTATION, AND OTHER TYPES OF LABOR. ACCORDING TO THE 2010 CENSUS, OF THE 6,332 OCCUPIED HOUSING UNITS IN MISSION HILL, ONLY 11.4% ARE OWNER OCCUPIED AND 33.6% ARE OCCUPIED BY FAMILIES. SEVERAL HUNDRED HOUSING UNITS IN MISSION HILL ARE OWNED AND RENTED BY THE BOSTON HOUSING AUTHORITY. SENIORS (65+) RESIDE IN 17.8% OF MISSION HILL HOUSEHOLDS WHILE CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 18 ARE IN 16.9% OF HOUSEHOLDS. IN SUMMARY, MISSION HILL IS A SMALL BUT DIVERSE COMMUNITY. ALTHOUGH HOME TO SOME OF THE CITY'S LARGEST EMPLOYERS AND SEVERAL HUNDRED MIDDLE AND UPPER INCOME RESIDENTS, MISSION HILL IS PRIMARILY A NEIGHBORHOOD OF LOWER-INCOME RESIDENTS. TO LEARN ABOUT MASS. EYE AND EARS PATIENTS WHO RESIDE IN MISSION HILL, THE CONSULTANTS ANALYZED DATA FROM THE LARGER DATA SET FOR PATIENTS WHOSE ZIP CODE IS 02120 (THE ZIP CODE FOR MISSION HILL). DURING THE TIMEFRAME FROM WHICH PATIENT DATA WERE DRAWN, MASS. EYE AND EAR CARED FOR 311 PATIENTS WHO LIVE IN MISSION HILL (1.9% OF THE MISSION HILL POPULATION). THE NUMBER OF MISSION HILL RESIDENTS INCREASED SLIGHTLY FROM 2012 (UP 48 FROM 2012'S 263 INDIVIDUALS). WITH THE LONGWOOD FACILITY AND CONCENTRATED EFFORT TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD THROUGH ITS COMMUNITY BENEFITS PROGRAMMING, WE EXPECT THE NUMBER OF MISSION HILL RESIDENTS SERVED BY MASS. EYE AND EAR TO INCREASE OVER TIME. FIGURE BELOW SHOWS THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF MASS. EYE AND EAR'S PATIENTS WHO LIVE IN MISSION HILL. |

| SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 5 | THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN THE CB WORKING GROUP USED THE ASSESSMENT FINDINGS TO DRAFT THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT PLAN. ONCE DRAFTED, JENNIFER STREET PRESENTED THE DRAFT PLAN TO THE HOSPITAL'S SENIOR LEADERSHIP FOR THEIR INPUT AND APPROVAL. AFTER INCLUDING THEIR FEEDBACK, THE PLAN WAS FINALIZED. THE PLAN IS POSTED PUBLICLY ON THE MASS. EYE AND EAR WEBSITE AND AS PART OF THE ANNUAL SUBMISSION TO THE OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL; THEREFORE THE TARGET POPULATIONS IDENTIFIED HEREIN ARE ALSO POSTED PUBLICLY AS REQUESTED BY THE OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL. PER THE ATTORNEY GENERALS COMMUNITY BENEFITS GUIDELINES, WE HAVE ESTABLISHED A THREE-YEAR PLAN. ALTHOUGH WE DO NOT CURRENTLY INTEND TO MODIFY THE PLAN, MASS. EYE AND EAR RECOGNIZES THAT CIRCUMSTANCES MAY ARISE OVER THE THREE YEARS OF THE PLAN THAT WOULD WARRANT A CHANGE (E.G., DUE TO INCREASES OR REDUCTIONS IN RESOURCES, NEW PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES, AN URGENT NEED THAT ARISES AMONG TARGET POPULATIONS THAT MUST BE PRIORITIZED). SHOULD SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES ARISE, THE CB WORKING GROUP WILL REVIEW THE PARTICULAR SITUATION AND PROPOSE AN APPROPRIATE SOLUTION (E.G., ADDING, MODIFYING OR ELIMINATING A STRATEGY). MASS. EYE AND EAR CONTINUES TO WORK TO STRENGHTEN ITS RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE MISSION HILL NEIGHBORHOOD. THESE EFFORTS INCLUDE INTERNSHIP PROGRAMS, SCREENINGS, FINANCIAL SUPPORT AND SPONSORSHIPS AND PARTICIPATION/VOLUNTEER IN LOCAL EVENTS. DEVELOPING COMMUNITY BENEFIT PLAN GOALS THE CB WORKING GROUP REVIEWED THE UNMET NEEDS IDENTIFIED DURING THE ASSESSMENT, INCLUDING THOSE IDENTIFIED IN MISSION HILL, AND DETERMINED THAT THEY WERE CONSISTENT WITH THE EXISTING GOALS OF MASS. EYE AND EAR'S COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN. THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT COMMITTEE RE-AFFIRMED THE EXISTING GOALS. THE GOALS ARE TO: 1. IMPROVE VISION AMONG MEMBERS OF MASS. EYE AND EARS DESIGNATED COMMUNITY AND TARGET POPULATIONS BY ENSURING ACCESS TO THE INFORMATION, SUPPORT, SCREENING AND CLINICAL SERVICES THEY NEED TO PREVENT AND ADDRESS VISION PROBLEMS. 2. IMPROVE HEARING AMONG MEMBERS OF MASS. EYE AND EARS DESIGNATED COMMUNITY AND TARGET POPULATIONS BY ENSURING ACCESS TO THE INFORMATION, SUPPORT, SCREENING AND CLINICAL SERVICES THEY NEED TO PREVENT AND ADDRESS HEARING PROBLEMS. 3. ENSURE THAT SURVIVORS OF VIOLENCE WHO EXPERIENCE SEVERE INJURY TO THE HEAD OR NECK RECEIVE CLINICAL CARE TO IMPROVE THEIR PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING. 4. ENSURE THAT MEMBERS OF MASS. EYE AND EARS DESIGNATED COMMUNITY AND TARGET POPULATIONS HAVE APPROPRIATE INFORMATION AND EMOTIONAL SUPPORT RELATED TO HEAD AND NECK CANCERS, FACIAL PARALYSIS, AND CONDITIONS THAT AFFECT SMELL AND TASTE. 5. IMPROVE ACCESS TO CARE FOR MEMBERS OF THE DESIGNATED COMMUNITY AND TARGET POPULATIONS WHO MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GET THE SERVICES THEY NEED FOR VISION, HEARING OR HEAD/NECK CONDITIONS DUE TO LINGUISTIC, TRANSPORTATION, OR FINANCIAL BARRIERS OR LACK OF INFORMATION. 6. STRENGTHEN MASS. EYE AND EARS PARTNERSHIP WITH ORGANIZATIONS THAT SUPPORT MASS. EYE AND EARS COMMUNITY BENEFITS MISSION IN THE DESIGNATED COMMUNITY AND/OR WITH THE TARGET POPULATIONS. 7. INCREASE JOB READINESS OPPORTUNITIES FOR MEMBERS OF LOW-INCOME COMMUNITIES AND/OR HIGH RISK GROUPS. DEFINING OBJECTIVES, STRATEGIES AND TARGETS FOR THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN BECAUSE NEITHER THE BOSTON PUBLIC HEALTH COMMISSION NOR THE MASSACHUSETTS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH COLLECT AND REPORT DATA ON VISION, HEARING AND OTHER HEAD AND NECK CONDITIONS IN MASSACHUSETTS COMMUNITIES, THE CB WORKING GROUP SOUGHT GUIDANCE FROM OTHER SOURCES TO DEVELOP OBJECTIVES THAT WOULD SUPPORT THE GOALS OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN. THE BEST GUIDANCE AVAILABLE FOR THIS PURPOSE CAME FROM THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION. THE CDCS HEALTHY PEOPLE 2020 OBJECTIVES ESTABLISHED TARGETS RELATED TO VISION, HEARING, BALANCE, SMELL, TASTE, AND VOICE/SPEECH, ALL ISSUES RELATED TO THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY MASS. EYE AND EAR. MASSACHUSETTS WAS NOT AMONG THE STATES THAT COLLECTED DATA RELATED TO THESE OBJECTIVES. THE CB WORKING GROUP REVIEWED ALL OF THE RELEVANT HEALTHY PEOPLE 2020 OBJECTIVES TO UNDERSTAND WHICH SUPPORT THE LARGER COMMUNITY BENEFITS GOALS. ANOTHER BENEFIT OF UTILIZING THE HEALTHY PEOPLE 2020 OBJECTIVES IS THAT MASS. EYE AND EAR IS ABLE TO MAKE A CONTRIBUTION TOWARD NATIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH PRIORITIES BY ADDRESSING SELECTED NATIONAL OBJECTIVES IN MASSACHUSETTS. THE CB WORKING GROUP AFFIRMED ITS SEVEN VISION-RELATED OBJECTIVES (THAT SUPPORT GOAL 1), EIGHT HEARINGRELATED OBJECTIVES (THAT SUPPORT GOAL 2), AND NINE OTHER OBJECTIVES (THAT SUPPORT GOALS 3 - 7 AND ADDRESS OTHER UNMET NEEDS AND ACCESS ISSUES IDENTIFIED AS PART OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS). ONCE THE OBJECTIVES WERE IDENTIFIED, THE CB WORKING GROUP IDENTIFIED STRATEGIES THAT WOULD LEAD TO ACCOMPLISHMENT OF THE OBJECTIVES. THESE STRATEGIES WERE INFORMED BY THE INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL PARTNERS INVOLVED IN THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT. GIVEN MASS. EYE AND EARS CLINICAL SERVICES AND RESOURCES AND THE EXPERTISE OF ITS PARTNERS, THE CB WORKING GROUP WAS ABLE TO ASSEMBLE A COMPREHENSIVE SET OF STRATEGIES THAT FALL INTO FOUR CATEGORIES. THE CB WORKING GROUP ALSO ASKED THEIR PARTNERS TO GIVE INPUT ABOUT TARGETS OR EXPECTED OUTCOMES ASSOCIATED WITH EACH OBJECTIVE. WITH THEIR GUIDANCE AND USING AVAILABLE DATA ON NEEDS AND POTENTIAL DEMAND FOR SERVICES, AS WELL AS CAPACITY ASSOCIATED WITH EACH OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS STRATEGIES, THE CB WORKING GROUP ESTABLISHED TARGETS FOR EACH OF THE THREE YEARS OF THE PLAN. THE GOALS, OBJECTIVES, STRATEGIES, AND TARGETS/EXPECTED OUTCOMES FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS ARE DISPLAYED ON THE MASS. EYE AND EAR COMMUNITY BENEFITS LOGIC MODEL. THE LOGIC MODEL PROVIDES A USER-FRIENDLY WAY OF EXPLAINING WHAT MASS. EYE AND EAR AND ITS PARTNERS WANT TO ACCOMPLISH (I.E., THE OBJECTIVES), HOW EACH OBJECTIVE WILL BE ACHIEVED (I.E., THE STRATEGIES), AND THE PROGRESS EXPECTED TOWARD THE OBJECTIVES EACH YEAR (I.E., THE TARGETS/EXPECTED OUTCOMES). SECTION IV OF THIS DOCUMENT PROVIDES DETAIL ABOUT EACH COMMUNITY BENEFITS STRATEGY, INCLUDING DESCRIPTIONS OF OUR PARTNERS, THE ATTORNEY GENERALS COMMUNITY BENEFITS CATEGORIES ADDRESSED BY EACH STRATEGY, THE COMMUNITIES AND POPULATIONS SERVED, INFORMATION ABOUT PROGRESS RELATED TO EACH STRATEGY, AND THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS RESOURCES EXPENDED TO SUPPORT EACH. THE FOLLOWING SECTION PROVIDES AN EVALUATION OF THE MOST RECENT YEAR'S PROGRESS TOWARD THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN TARGETS, INCLUDING INFORMATION ABOUT THE EXTENT TO WHICH THOSE ANNUAL TARGETS WERE MET AND OUR PLANS FOR IMPROVEMENT WHERE NEEDED. THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS STRATEGIES MASS. EYE AND EARS COMMUNITY BENEFITS STRATEGIES FOR ACHIEVING ITS OBJECTIVES AND ANNUAL TARGETS PROGRAM FALL INTO FOUR MAJOR CATEGORIES: 1. HEALTH SCREENING AND DIRECT SERVICES 2. COMMUNITY EDUCATION AND SUPPORT GROUPS 3. ACCESS TO SERVICES/RESOURCES/WORK EXPERIENCE 4. FINANCIAL SUPPORT (GRANTS, DONATIONS, FOUNDATION SUPPORT, SCHOLARSHIPS) CATEGORIES 1 AND 2 DRAW ON MASS. EYE AND EARS BROAD CLINICAL AND TEACHING EXPERTISE AND ENCOMPASS THE NEW JOB READINESS STRATEGIES. CATEGORY 3 RESPONDS TO BARRIERS AND OBSTACLES THAT LIMIT ACCESS TO SERVICES AND ALSO INCLUDES INITIATIVES THAT PROVIDE TARGETED POPULATIONS WITH OPPORTUNITIES TO GAIN WORK EXPERIENCE. CATEGORY 4 REPRESENTS MASS. EYE AND EARS OPPORTUNITY TO SUPPORT PARTNERS WHOSE MISSIONS ARE ALIGNED WITH THOSE OF MASS. EYE AND EAR AND WHO ARE PROVIDING SERVICES TO MASS. EYE AND EARS PRIORITY PATIENT GROUPS AND/OR GEOGRAPHIC AREAS. EACH CATEGORY BELOW OFFERS A DESCRIPTION OF THE ASSOCIATED STRATEGIES AND PARTNERSHIPS AND CONCLUDES WITH AN AT-A-GLANCE TABLE THAT DESCRIBES THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS, TARGET AUDIENCE AND GEOGRAPHIC AREA SERVED, THE ATTORNEY GENERALS COMMUNITY BENEFITS CATEGORIES ADDRESSED, AND THE COSTS/RESOURCES EXPENDED FOR THE REPORTABLE YEAR (FY15) FOR EACH STRATEGY IN THE CATEGORY. |
| CATEGORY 1: HEALTH SCREENING AND DIRECT SERVICES | MASS. EYE AND EAR PROVIDES HEALTH SCREENING AND DIRECT CLINICAL SERVICES TO A WIDE RANGE OF INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS, FROM LOW-INCOME CHILDREN TO SENIORS TO SURVIVORS OF VIOLENCE. SPECIFIC INITIATIVES ARE DESCRIBED BELOW.

| Explanation | SUBRECIPIENT MONITORING POLICY AND PROCEDURES SUBAWARDS ARE ISSUED THROUGH A CONSORTIUM AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE MASSACHUSETTS EYE AND EAR INFIRMARY ("THE INFIRMARY") AND THE RECIPIENT INSTITUTION. THE AGREEMENT SPECIFIES THE TERMS OF THE SUBAWARD AND INCLUDES A DETAILED BUDGET AND SCOPE OF WORK TO BE PERFORMED BY THE RECIPIENT INSTITUTION. AWARDED FUNDS ARE ENCUMBERED BY A PURCHASE ORDER THAT IS ASSIGNED TO A UNIQUE FUND NUMBER. PAYMENTS TO RECIPIENT INSTITUTIONS MADE AGAINST THE PURCHASE ORDER ARE RECORDED IN THE MEEI ACCOUNTING SYSTEM SO THAT INDIVIDUAL PAYMENTS AND PURCHASE ORDERS BALANCES CAN BE MONITORED. DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS FOR SUBAWARDS REQUIRES THE WRITTEN APPROVAL OF THE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR ("PI"). FREQUENT PROGRESS REPORTS AND OTHER FORMS OF COMMUNICATION ARE REQUIRED BETWEEN THE PI AND THE SUBAWARD RECIPIENT INSTITUTE TO ENSURE THAT THE SCOPE OF WORK IS PROGRESSING AT A SATISFACTORY PACE. RESEARCH ADMINISTRATION ALSO CONDUCTS AN ANNUAL INVENTORY OF INSTITUTIONS TO WHICH RESERACH HAS BEEN SUBAWARDED. A RISK ASSESSMENT MATRIX IS EMPLOYED, ALONG WITH A REVIEW OF THE SUB-RECIPIENTS' MOST RECENT A133 AUDIT REPORT, TO DETERMINE THE LEVEL OF RISK REGARDING THE SUB-RECIPIENTS' ABILITY TO COMPLY WITH FEDERAL GUIDELINES. | ExplanationTxt |

| RESEARCH | Ophthalmology Significant Awards/Honors Ula Jurkunas, MD: American Academy of Ophthalmology Achievement Award Richard Masland, PhD: Distinguished Research Achievement Awardee, Harvard Ophthalmology Eric Pierce, MD, PhD: 2016 Alcon Research Institute Award David Sullivan, PhD: ARVO Gold Fellow Demetrios Vavvas, MD, PhD: Pfizer Ophthalmics Carl Camras Translational Research Award Janey Wiggs, MD, PhD: Inducted into Academia Ophthalmologica Internationalis AMD Center of Excellence Patients with high-risk macular degeneration show improvement with high-dose statin treatment Joan W. Miller, MD, and Demetrios Vavvas, MD, PhD, led colleagues from Mass. Eye and Ear/Harvard Medical School and a University in a Phase I/II clinical trial that found that high dose statin treatment carries the potential for clearing lipid debris that is associated with vision impairment in patients with high-risk macular degeneration. Their findings not only furthered the connection among lipids, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and atherosclerosis, but also present a potential therapy for some patients with dry AMD, for which treatments are currently lacking. As a next step, investigators are planning a larger, prospective multicenter trial to further investigate the efficacy of the treatment in a larger sample of patients with dry AMD. Researchers shed light on the anti-adhesive molecule in vascular endothelium suggesting new direction for anti-inflammatory therapy Mass. Eye and Ear researchers led by Patricia DAmore, PhD, MBA and Pablo Argeso, PhD have gained new insight into how a non-inflammatory state is maintained in the body. Their findings suggest that promoting the expression of endomucin may prevent the recruitment of white blood cells that is the hallmark of inflammation. The research shows that in healthy, non-inflamed tissue, endomucin plays a critical role in preventing neutrophils from sticking to the endothelium. During inflammatory conditions, however, the endomucin on the endothelial cell surface is dramatically reduced and the levels of pro-adhesives molecules on the endothelium increase, resulting in neutrophil accumulation. The researchers showed both adherence and infiltration of inflammatory cells could be blocked by experimentally expressing excess endomucin in the vascular endothelium. This new knowledge may be used to develop treatments for inflammation by promoting the expression of endomucin to prevent the movement of inflammatory cells from the capillaries into inflamed tissues. Cornea Center of Excellence Translational Research on Lubricin Demonstrates Significant Improvement of Multiple Signs and Symptoms of Dry Eye Disease David A. Sullivan, PhD, in collaboration with colleagues from several institutions worldwide, evaluated the use of recombinant human lubricin as a treatment for patients with dry eye disease. A clinical trial based on this research, the results of which were published ahead of print in September by The Ocular Surface, showed significant improvement in signs and symptoms of dry eye disease compared to sodium hyaluronate without adverse events during the investigation. Researchers find stem cells in normal and Fuchs corneal endothelium Ula Jurkunas, MD, was the principal investigator of a study that has, for the first time, identified stem cells not only in normal corneal endothelium but also in corneal endothelium of patients with Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD). Corneal transplantation is the only currently accepted therapy for FECD. This finding holds promise for new therapies to be developed that possibly promote the division of patients' own stem cells and allow the cornea to clear without a need for corneal transplantation in FECD patients. Restoration of Corneal Transparency by Mesenchymal Stem Cells A study led by Sunil Chauhan, PhD, has identified hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), secreted by mesenchymal stem cells, as the key factor responsible for restoring corneal transparency and promoting wound healing in preclinical models of corneal injury. The findings suggest that HGF-based treatments may be effective in restoring vision in patients with severely scarred corneas. Researchers identify factors responsible for chronic nature of autoimmune disease Reza Dana, MD, MSc, MPH, and colleagues uncovered two factors responsible for the chronic, lifelong nature of autoimmune disorders, which tend to flare up intermittently in affected patients. These two factors are cell-signaling proteins called cytokines - specifically Interleukin-7 and -15 (IL-7 and IL-15)-that are secreted by cells of the immune system and help modulate memory Th17 cells, a subset of T cells which are known to contribute to autoimmune disorders. Until now, it was unclear how Th17 cells maintained memory; the study results show that IL-7 and IL-15 signal the Th17 cells to chronically reside in the body. These findings may lead to the development of new therapies to address a variety of chronic autoimmune disorders. Diabetic Eye Disease Center of Excellence Growth factor shown to protect the retina in early stage diabetes Mara Lorenzi, MD, and colleagues have shown that a slight increase in transforming growth factor beta (TGF-), which is present in preclinical animal models with diabetic eye disease, protects retinal blood vessels from damage that commonly occurs in the early stages of the disease (known as diabetic retinopathy). Their findings may lead to targeted therapeutics that delay or prevent the development of the disease in patients. Glaucoma Center of Excellence Three new genes identified that contribute to primary open-angle glaucoma In the largest genome-wide study of its kind, Janey Wiggs, MD, PhD and collaborators from HMS Ophthalmology and Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, identified three genes that contribute to the primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), which is the most common type of glaucoma. Researchers conducted a meta-analysis of genome-wide association study (GWAS) results from 3,853 people with POAG and compared them to a control group of 33,480 people of European descent using human genomes collected through the NEIGHBORHOOD consortium, a National Eye Institute collaborative. After replicating the analysis using data from an Australian study, and comparing the analysis to three more data sets (Australia, Europe, China), three susceptibility loci were identified: TXNRD2, ATXN2, and FOXC1. The findings provide key insight that ultimately may be used to develop gene-based testing and treatment strategies for glaucoma. Infectious Disease Institute Mass. Eye and Ear Team Discovers and Successfully Treats New Variant of Antibiotic-resistant Bacterium Michael Gilmore, PhD, and colleagues discovered and successfully treated a new mutation in a highly antibiotic-resistant strain of E. coli that resists clearance by the bodys own immune system by inhibiting white blood cells that ordinarily kill and remove bacteria. They found that, in addition to its elevated resistance to antibiotics, this bacterium produced a layer of slime on its surface that prevented white blood cells from trapping and killing the microbe, something researchers have not seen before in this type of E. coli. Mobility Enhancement and Vision Rehabilitation Center of Excellence Research aims to reduce pedestrian collisions in crowded and chaotic open space environments Vision scientists may have discovered how to reduce pedestrian collisions in crowded and chaotic open space environments like bus terminals, shopping malls and city plazas involving individuals with partial blindness. Eli Peli, OD, and colleagues have determined from which direction collisions with partially blind pedestrians are most likely to originate by creating a mathematical model to determine risk, and comparing that risk to the limited vision of 42 patients with retinitis pigmentosa. This understanding will guide the development of new glasses that expand the sight of a person with limited peripheral vision. Ocular Genomics Institute Gene therapy restores hearing in deaf mice...down to a whisper |
| In the summer of 2015, a team at Boston Childrens Hospital and | Harvard Medical School reported restoring rudimentary hearing in genetically deaf mice using gene therapy. Now the Boston Childrens research team reports restoring a much higher level of hearing - down to 25 decibels, the equivalent of a whisper - using an improved gene therapy vector developed at Massachusetts Eye and Ear. While previous vectors have only been able to penetrate the cochleas inner hair cells, the first Nature Biotechnology study showed that a new synthetic vector, Anc80, safely transferred genes to the hard-to-reach outer hair cells when introduced into the cochlea. This studys three Harvard Medical School senior investigators were Jeffrey R. Holt, PhD, of Boston Childrens Hospital; Konstantina Stankovic, MD, PhD, of Mass. Eye and Ear and Luk H. Vandenberghe, PhD, who led Anc80s development in 2015 at Mass. Eye and Ears Grousbeck Gene Therapy Center. Other Research New Insights into Thyroid Eye Disease Treatments Nahyoung Grace Lee, MD, Leo Kim, MD, PhD, and colleagues identified new mechanisms of proptosis, or bulging of the eyes, in patients with acute thyroid eye disease, which opens a path to exploring non-surgical treatments for thyroid eye disease. Currently, oral or IV steroids and major surgery (to break the bones behind the eyes) are the only viable option to prevent severe and permanent vision loss in patients with thyroid eye disease, but these results suggest that it might be possible to treat the inflammation and swelling by stopping the blood vessels from forming and leaking fluid, or, alternatively, by finding a way to promote lymphatic vessel formation and enhance drainage of fluid.
