PART III, LINE 9B:	CHARITY CARE IS OFFERED TO PERSONS WHO HAVE HEALTHCARE NEEDS AND ARE UNINSURED, INELIGIBLE FOR A GOVERNMENT PROGRAM, OR OTHERWISE UNABLE TO PAY FOR MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE BASED ON THEIR INDIVIDUAL FINANCIAL SITUATION.
PART VI, LINE 2:	WEST JEFFERSON HOLDINGS PARTICIPATED IN A COMPREHENSIVE REGIONAL COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT RESULTING IN THE IDENTIFICATION OF TOP COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS. THE ASSESSMENT PROCESS INCLUDED INPUT FROM PERSONS WHO REPRESENT THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY THE HOSPITAL FACILITIES, INCLUDING THOSE WITH SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE OF PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUES AND THE UNDERSERVED COMMUNITY. THE ASSESSMENT PROCESS INCLUDED: COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT PLANNING: A SERIES OF CONFERENCE CALLS WERE FACILITATED BY THE CONSULTANTS AND THE PROJECT TEAM. SECONDARY DATA: THE HEALTH OF A COMMUNITY IS LARGELY RELATED TO THE CHARACTERISTICS OF ITS RESIDENTS. AN INDIVIDUAL'S AGE, RACE, GENDER, EDUCATION, AND ETHNICITY OFTEN DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY IMPACT HEALTH STATUS AND ACCESS TO CARE. A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS WAS COMPLETED OF HEALTH STATUS AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS RELATED TO THE HEALTH OF RESIDENTS IN THE DEFINED PROJECT AREA FROM EXISTING DATA SOURCES SUCH AS STATE AND PARISH PUBLIC HEALTH AGENCIES, THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION, AND OTHER ADDITIONAL DATA SOURCES. INTERVIEWS WITH KEY COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS: LEADERS FROM ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE AND/OR EXPERTISE IN PUBLIC HEALTH WERE IDENTIFIED. SUCH PERSONS WERE INTERVIEWED AS PART OF THE REGIONAL NEEDS ASSESSMENT PLANNING PROCESS. A SERIES OF APPROXIMATELY 100 INTERVIEWS WERE COMPLETED WITH KEY STAKEHOLDERS IN THE GREATER NEW ORLEANS METROPOLITAN AREA. FOCUS GROUPS WITH COMMUNITY RESIDENTS: THE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE ASSURED THAT COMMUNITY MEMBERS, INCLUDING UNDER-REPRESENTED RESIDENTS, WERE INCLUDED IN THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT PLANNING PROCESS VIA TWO FOCUS GROUPS. FOCUS GROUP AUDIENCES WERE DEFINED BY THE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE UTILIZING SECONDARY DATA TO IDENTIFY HEALTH NEEDS AND DEFICITS IN TARGET POPULATIONS. THE FOCUS GROUP AUDIENCES INCLUDED WOMEN OF CHILDBEARING AGE AND SENIOR POPULATION (INDEPENDENT LIVING). IDENTIFICATION OF TOP REGIONAL COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS: TOP COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS WERE IDENTIFIED BY ANALYZING SECONDARY DATA, KEY STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS AND FOCUS GROUP INPUT. THE ANALYSIS PROCESS IDENTIFIED THE HEALTH NEEDS REVEALED IN EACH DATA SOURCE. TOP NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE ASSESSMENT WERE SUPPORTED BY SECONDARY DATA (WHERE AVAILABLE) AND STRONG CONSENSUS WAS PROVIDED BY KEY COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS AND FOCUS GROUPS. AN INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF EXISTING DATA AND IN-DEPTH INTERVIEWS WITH STAKEHOLDERS REPRESENTING A CROSS-SECTION OF AGENCIES AND FOCUS GROUP INPUT RESULTED IN THE IDENTIFICATION OF THREE KEY HEALTH NEEDS IN THE WEST JEFFERSON SERVICE AREA THAT ARE SUPPORTED BY SECONDARY AND/OR PRIMARY DATA: ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE AND MEDICAL SERVICES (I.E., PRIMARY, SPECIALTY, PREVENTIVE, AND MENTAL). ACCESS TO COMMUNITY/SUPPORT SERVICES TO SUSTAIN A HEALTHY AND SAFE ENVIRONMENT. PROMOTION OF HEALTHY LIFESTYLES AND BEHAVIORS (SPECIFIC FOCUS ON CHRONIC DISEASES). THE WEST JEFFERSON COMMUNITY IS VERY DIVERSE. THE HEALTH RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH CHRONIC DISEASES LIKE DIABETES AND OBESITY ARE PARTICULARLY HIGH AMONG OUR GROWING, MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AFRICAN-AMERICAN, HISPANIC AND VIETNAMESE POPULATIONS.
