PART I, LINE 7G: PART VI, LINE 1: A SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICE BENEFIT IS CALCULATED FOR DEPARTMENTS AND SERVICES RECOGNIZING THESE AREAS OPERATE AT A NEGATIVE MARGIN. THE CANCER RISK ASSESSMENT AND PREVENTION PROGRAM, THE RENAISSANCE HEALTH CLINIC, THE DIABETES INSTITUTE AND THE GERIATRIC EVALUATION AND MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS ARE AMONG THE MANY COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT AND SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES OPERATED AT NEGATIVE MARGINS. THE RENAISSANCE HEALTH CLINIC, LOCATED IN NORTH OMAHA, IS AN ONGOING JOINT COMMUNITY PROJECT OF NEBRASKA METHODIST HOSPITAL AND THE SALVATION ARMY THAT HELPS TO MEET THE HEALTH NEEDS OF OMAHA'S LOW-INCOME POPULATION WITHIN AN ATMOSPHERE OF CARING AND RESPECT. ADVANCED PRACTICE NURSES OFFER BOTH WALK-IN AND SCHEDULED APPOINTMENTS. A SLIDING FEE SCALE IS USED BASED ON THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY.FREE OR LOW-COST SERVICES INCLUDE PHYSICAL EXAMS, TREATMENT OF MINOR AND CHRONIC HEALTH PROBLEMS AND ILLNESSES, PHYSICIAN REFERRALS, HEALTH EDUCATION, FAMILY PLANNING SERVICES, ADOLESCENT ROUTINE CARE, SCHOOL PHYSICALS, HIV TESTING AND RISK COUNSELING, STD TESTING AND TREATMENT, AND TREATMENT FOR VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT AND DOMESTIC ABUSE.THE SEXUAL ASSAULT NURSE EXAMINER AND SEXUAL ASSAULT RESPONSE TEAM (SANE/SART) SURVIVOR PROGRAM, THE LUNG CANCER PROGRAM AND OTHER PROGRAMS AIMED AT CANCER RISK ASSESSMENT AND PREVENTION ARE PROGRAMS TARGETING COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS.SANE/SART PROGRAM:THE SEXUAL ASSAULT NURSE EXAMINER AND SEXUAL ASSAULT RESPONSE TEAM (AKA SANE/SART)SURVIVOR PROGRAM IS A COLLABORATION THAT UNITES METHODIST HOSPITAL WITH GOVERNMENT AND COMMUNITY AGENCIES.
