Endowment funds are designated for purposes that align within this organization's exempt purpose. Part X : FIN48 Footnote Income TaxesEMHS, its hospitals, and certain other affiliates have been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be tax-exempt charitable organizations as described in Section 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and, accordingly, are exempt from federal income taxes on related income pursuant to Section 501(a) of the Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for these organizations.Tax-exempt charitable organizations could be required to record an obligation for income taxes as the result of a tax position they have historically taken on various tax exposure items including unrelated business income or tax status. Under guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), assets and liabilities are established for uncertain tax positions taken or positions expected to be taken in income tax returns when such positions are judged to not meet the more-likely-than-not threshold, based upon the technical merits of the position. Estimated interest and penalties, if applicable, related to uncertain tax positions are included as a component of income tax expense. The System has evaluated its tax position taken or expected to be taken on income tax returns and concluded the impact to be not material.Certain of the System's affiliates are taxable entities. Deferred taxes related to these entities are based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse. The deferred tax assets and liabilities for these entities are not material.

The survey, coordinated with the Maine CDC, engaged public health expertise throughout the process. The survey was administered using a snowball approach where stakeholder agencies agreed to send the surveys to their members and stakeholders for participation. 1,639 people, representing more than 80 organizations and businesses in Maine, completed the survey. Respondents represented health care agencies, public health agencies, law enforcement, municipalities, schools, local businesses, social service agencies, and nongovernmental organizations. In addition to the stakeholder survey, each county conducted a number of community engagement opportunities (forums) to ensure broad interests of the local community were represented; Obtain stakeholder input on identifying significant health needs based on review of shared CHNA data; Solicit stakeholder feedback on prioritizing significant health needs, and; Identify local assets and resources that potentially may address local health priorities. The local forums were conducted in collaboration with the Maine CDC to solicit input from individuals representing populations with health disparities. The following organizations were in attendance at the November 10, 2015 Hancock County Shared CHNA Community Engagement Input Forum and provided valuable feedback on the Shared CHNA.Details about organizations:State Government - representation from DHHS (low income, medically underserved); Non-profit hospitals - Maine Coast Memorial Hospital, Blue Hill Memorial Hospital, Mount Desert Island Hospital providing services to MaineCare populations (medically underserved); Healthy Acadia and Healthy Peninsula provide individuals with health supports and coordination of education and prevention services. Non-profit agency- SAGE and GLSEN: provide advocacy and services for LGBT community. Beth Wright provides resources and care for individuals and families with cancer in both counties. Birch Bay and Hancock County Hospice/Home Care provide services for seniors and aging population (low income). Hancock County EMA provides emergency management to all of Hancock County towns.

EMHS member organizations participating in the Shared CHNA included Acadia Hospital, Blue Hill Memorial Hospital, Charles A. Dean Memorial Hospital, Eastern Maine Medical Center, Inland Hospital, Maine Coast Memorial Hospital, Mercy Hospital, Sebasticook Valley Health, and TAMC. Part V, Line 11 - Explanation of Needs Not Addressed and Reasons Why Affordable Housing - Another option outside of our venue to deliver, plus outside agencies are working on this problem. We have less of an ability to impact this than the chosen priorities. Hunger/Food Insecurity - Many agencies are currently working on this and providing for those in need. We do participate monthly in Simmering Pot and food pantry. We already have community programs in place so this is less of a priority for us.Preventative Screenings - All of the preventive screenings are actually included in many of the priorities that we chose and the fully loaded visit will cover all of the categories listed. Some of the chosen priorities address preventative screenings and education.Inconvenience - We have opened our family practice clinics mornings, evenings and Saturdays. The transportation priority should also help cover this issue.Out of Pocket Costs Associated with Insurance Plans - Our navigator investigation should help identify alternatives for people to have affordable care. This is related to lack of insurance, which we have chosen as a priority.

OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Please see the following excerpt from the EMHS Annual Report to the Community for details of community benefit projects at Blue Hill Memorial Hospital.Oh, the places we will go!As parents and grandparents we know well the wit and wisdom of New England's own Theodor Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss. He reminds us, "... the things you can find, if you don't stay behind!" Dr. Seuss teaches us that innovation, leadership, and curiosity are noble traits that take us far in life. As leaders, we carry these lessons with us today. EMHS tirelessly seeks opportunities to innovate delivery of care by challenging the status-quo and pushing our organization to fearlessly exceed expectations in today's ever-evolving healthcare landscape. When taking a look back at 2016, we celebrate the amazing work being done across EMHS. Here, leaders come in all forms and nowhere is it more evident than in our 2016 Annual Report. Within these pages, you will meet some 'Girls on the Run' in Hancock County who are joyful, healthy, and confident; a family that welcomed a new baby and was grateful for excellent Neonatal Intensive Care; and a homecare nurse who travels thousands of miles each year to care for her patients. You will also learn how EMHS is collaborating with our communities on core concerns, such as food insecurity and overcoming Maine's opioid epidemic, and about the continued advancement of our population health efforts. Finally, as a proud Maine company, EMHS was pleased to be a part of the Acadia National Park Centennial; we share a look at our participation in the celebration.And, in an effort to bring the EMHS experience even closer to you, we've created an interactive online report in addition to our printed version. On the web, you will find beautiful videos of the inspiring stories discussed here along with interactive graphs and maps. We are proud to be a leader in this dynamic healthcare world. EMHS continues to embrace today's challenges all the while reflecting on how we can use our resources to create outstanding experiences for our customers and help shape vibrant, healthy communities. We have a lot of work ahead of us in 2017, or, to paraphrase Dr. Seuss, "You're off to great places! You're off and away!"M. Michelle Hood, FACHEEMHS President and CEOEvelyn S. Silver, PhDEMHS Board ChairOn your mark, get set...EMHS youth programs start kids off right for the race of lifeRaising children in today's world provides unique challenges. Issues such as childhood obesity and the prevalence of mental health issues like anxiety and depression among our youth have garnered the attention of parents and healthcare providers.Fortunately, research has shown that providing our children with healthy activities that teach them the value of exercise. Eating well and being part of their communities can make a big difference in their long-term well-being.With that in mind, EMHS organizations offer creative programs and activities designed to support the healthy development of kids, many times in collaboration with other area organizations.A shining example of this approach can be seen in Presque Isle, where The Aroostook Medical Center (TAMC) partnered with the University of Maine at Presque Isle and Healthy Aroostook to organize The REDY Youth Triathlon in September, 2016 as part of TAMC's ongoing Fit and Fun Series.Children, ages 7 through 14, swam, biked, and ran different distances based on their age category. Event organizers named the triathlon after REDY, a well-known mascot of Let's Go 5-2-1-0 (5 or more fruits or vegetables a day, 2 or less hours of recreational screen time, 1 hour of physical activity, and 0 sugary drinks), a nationally recognized youth obesity prevention program that has partners throughout Maine.Jayden Harvell age 8, who according to her mother, Heather, is very athletic, participated in the event, which was her second triathlon. Before Jayden participated, she commented, "Yeah, I'm growing up and I'm getting healthier and smarter, and this helps me get fit. I think it will be fun!"The concept of 5-2-1-0 is also reflected in Inland Hospital's Family Fun Series, now in its fifth year. Inland Hospital, located in Waterville, works with other local organizations to provide a monthly family-oriented event that promotes an active lifestyle. The hospital's community wellness team leader, Ellen Wells, plays an integral role in making the series run smoothly. "We are trying to engage the whole family to make physical activity a way of life. Down the road, that will mean lower adult obesity rates and the related chronic disease that goes along with that."In addition to the Family Fun Series, every Tuesday evening during the summer of 2016, Inland sponsored the Quarry Road Fun Run series. The Fun Run series was very popular, with an average of 15 participants for the nine-week program.Another innovative program that focuses on healthy weight and food choices is the Eastern Maine Medical Center (EMMC) Way to Optimal Weight program (WOW); it focuses on helping children and adolescents who are at higher risk for weight-related health problems. The program recently expanded to Maine Coast Memorial Hospital (MCMH) in Ellsworth, as well as TAMC via televideo technology in Presque Isle.MCMH, in partnership with the Down East Family YMCA, is also using physical activity as a conduit for developing the full spectrum of health-mind, body, and spirit-for young girls through the Girls on the Run (GOTR) curriculum. This is vital, as girls and young women face an overwhelming amount of exposure to images and messages that leave them questioning their personal value."One of the things I love about Girls on the Run is that it's big picture. It's not just about running. Its about teaching the girls life skills that will benefit them for the rest of their lives," explained Kimberly Formby, GOTR coach and Occupational Therapy supervisor at MCMH. "It is my hope that every third through fifth grade girl in our area has the opportunity to participate in this program." Meeting twice a week in small teams, Girls on the Run teaches life skills through dynamic, interactive lessons and running games. The curriculum is taught by certified Girls on the Run coaches and includes three parts: understanding ourselves, valuing relationships and teamwork, and understanding how we connect with and shape the world at large. Running is used to inspire and motivate girls, encourage lifelong health and fitness, and build confidence through accomplishment. Important social, psychological, and physical skills and abilities are developed and reinforced throughout the program.The program is in its second season and has already had 16 girls participate, with plans for another session in the spring of 2017.A program that focuses on a young person's psycho-social-emotional development, in the context of the broader community is Challenge Day, a nonprofit out of California. For 15 years, Acadia Hospital, the only EMHS psychiatric hospital, has coordinated and supported Challenge Day in dozens of Maine high schools, affecting thousands of students and hundreds of volunteer adult facilitators.This past fall, more than 400 high school students experienced Challenge Day at participating schools: Hermon High School, Freeport High School, Maine Central Institute in Pittsfield, and George W.Stearns High School in Millinocket.One Stearns High School student echoed the sentiments of those who wrote reflection papers after their experience, "Challenge Day was an extraordinary experience, unlike any other. The day is a great way to express your true feelings to one another, learn about other people, see what they have gone through, learn empathy, and change who you are for the better."In an era where youth report feeling increasingly judged and isolated, Challenge Day provides a proven experiential program that helps transform individuals and entire school cultures. At Hermon High School, which is the only school to host Challenge Day continuously over the past 15 years, the positive effect has been remarkable.Retired Hermon High School health teacher Shelley Gavett, who was instrumental in Hermon's involvement, continues to coordinate the event in a volunteer capacity. "Kids that go to Challenge Day never forget their experience. The program has changed the culture of Hermon High School for the better and we know this because the students have expressed it to us over the years. What is extremely gratifying for me personally is that past graduates return to volunteer every year. We even had one former Hermon student travel from Tennessee just to volunteer this year because she was so affected by the day herself and wanted to help others experience it."
