Costing Method Used	Part I, Line 7: The cost of providing charity care, means tested government programs, and community benefit programs is estimate using internal cost data and is in compliance with Catholic Health Association ("CHA") guidelines. The best data available was used to calculate the amount reported in the table. For certain categories in the table, this was direct costs from the general ledger, in other categories, a specific cost-to-charge ratio was used.	CostingMethodUsed
Subsidized Health Services Expln	Part I, Line 7g: The Medical Center provides in-kind clinical space (Value of $33,804) to the Snake River Community Clinic, a Federally Qualified Health Clinic serving the primary care needs in our geographic region.	SubsidizedHealthServicesExpln
Percent Of Total Expense Expln	Part I, Line 7f: The amount of bad debt expense reported on Form 990, Part IX, Line 25, Column (A), but subtracted for purposes of calculating the percentages in Part I, Line 7, Column (f) is $4,078,230.	PercentOfTotalExpenseExpln
Bad Debt Footnote	Part III, Line 4: Footnote per the Medical Center's financial statements:The provision for bad debts is based upon management's assessment of historical and expected net collections considering economic conditions, trends in health care benefit coverage and other collection indicators. Periodically throughout the year, management assesses the adequacy of the allowance for uncollectible accounts based upon historical write-off experience by payer category, including those amounts not covered by insurance. The results of this review are then used to make any modifications to the provision for bad debts to establish an appropriate allowance for uncollectible accounts. After satisfaction of amounts due from insurance and reasonable efforts to collect from the patient have been exhausted, the Medical Center follows established guidelines for placing certain past-due patient balances with collection agencies, subject to the terms of certain restrictions on collection efforts as determined by Ascension Health. Accounts receivable are written off after collection efforts have been followed in accordance with the Medical Center's policies.The Medical Center's bad debt expense in 2010 was $4,078,230 at charges ($1,858,230 at cost).	BadDebtFootnote
Shortfall As Community Benefit	Part III, Line 8: The Medical Center follows the Catholic Health Association ("CHA") guidelines for determining community benefit. CHA community benefit reporting guidelines suggest that Medicare shortfall is not treated as community benefit.	ShortfallAsCommunityBenefit
Debt Collection Policy	Part III, Line 9b: The Medical Center has a written debt collection policy that also includes a provision on the collection of practices to be followed for patients who are known to qualify for charity care or financial assistance. If a patient qualifies for charity care or financial assistance certain collection practices do not apply.	DebtCollectionPolicy
Needs Assessment	Part VI, Line 2: A survey was conducted in fall of 2009 in the Lewis-Clark Valley to determine the community needs regarding issues related to education/youth, emergency services, and health services. A random sample of 430 people completed the needs assessment enabling a 95% confidence interval to be defined around plus or minus five percentage points for each question.The three most important education youth goals were (1) reduce teen drug, tobacco & alcohol use, (2) provide a safe environment for children after school, and (3) reduce the high school dropout rate. The community strongly supported safe after school childcare/daycare, intervention programs for at-risk youth, preschool/kindergarten readiness, tutoring or academic assistance, and mentorship programs. Those familiar with local daycare/childcare services rate the quality, availability, and staff to child ratio as fair. Affordability is rated less favorably and services for special needs children seems wanting. High levels of concern were found for our community's youth with regard to drugs & alcohol, negative home environment/family life, academic achievement, bullying, relationships/teen sex, depression/self harm, and obesity.The three most important emergency services goals were (1) increase the number of families with basic needs such as food and shelter, (2) increase job training and educational programs to help individuals increase income, and (3) decrease the number of families and individuals free from violence and abuse. Strong community support exists for assistance for low-income persons in the area of food banks/hunger support, domestic violence prevention and treatment, advocates for children in the courts, disaster services/house fires & natural disasters, and shelter for the homeless. The three most important health care goals were (1) increase the number of families able to get regular medical checkups and access preventative medicine, (2) increase the number of families able to access urgent healthcare, and (3) increase the number of people living drug-free. Community members appear to be well aware of the range of health care programs and believe the need is particularly high for family doctors, chemical dependency treatment, emergency care, and public health services. While not rated as high, a very sizable number in the valley believe more respite care, counseling services, dentists, mental health services, and nursing homes are needed. While only 13% report not having medical insurance coverage and only 17% do not have prescription coverage, over a third do not have dental, vision, or mental health insurance. The cost of the insurance is the biggest factor keeping community members from getting health care followed by a lack of insurance itself. People in this community strongly rely on their doctors for information about their health care decisions and they tend to listen to their doctors more than any other sources. The Internet is used as a resource for health decisions twice as much as either the television or newspaper. Community members view health screenings, lack of exercise, poor nutrition, heart problems, and obesity as the most important concerns for their own health and wellness.	NeedsAssessment
Patient Education Assistance	Part VI, Line 3: St. Joseph Regional Medical Center financial assistance is available to all patients. The Medical Center's financial assistance notice is posted in all registration areas, emergency department and business services department. Financial Assistance applications are available at all registration areas and Business Services offices. The Medical Center makes every attempt to identify/assist patients who may be eligible for charity or discounted care through the Medical Center's Charity Care Policy. A financial assistance counselor is available to all patients. The Business Office staff is trained on how to qualify patients for Medicaid, County Assistance and other payment programs. The financial assistance counselor discusses with the patient the availability of various government assistance programs and assists the patient with qualification of such programs. The result of a grant through the state of Washington, a Medicaid eligibility case worker assists Washington applicants in with their application process. Written summary and contact information is also provided in billing communications with patients. For the patient who has limited English proficiency, interpreter services are available at no charge.

Community Information	Part VI, Line 4: The Medical Center serves as both a primary care facility and a secondary referral facility for residents of the Medical Center's nine county service area, which includes: Nez Perce, Latah, Idaho, Clearwater and Lewis counties, ID; Asotin, Garfield and Whitman counties, WA; and Wallowa County, OR. The service area has an aggregate population of about 174,000 people in north central Idaho, southeast Washington and northeast Oregon. St. Joseph Regional Medical Center is the only full service Medical Center in a region with nine Critical Access Hospitals in the immediate geographic area. St Joseph Regional Medical Center provides approximately 80% of the inpatient acute care hospital services in its primary care area and 40% of the inpatient services in its regional service area. In FYE June 2010, St. Joseph Regional Medical Center treated 5,967 inpatients and recorded an additional 103,169 outpatient visits. The Medical Center provided a substantial portion of its services to the elderly and poor. In FYE June 2010 approximately 53% of the value of services rendered was to the elderly patients under the Medicare program, and approximately 12.9% of the services were provided to patients deemed indigent under state, county, or Medical Center guidelines. The Medical Center provided $2,617,804 in unpaid costs of providing traditional charity care, $1,813,879 in unpaid costs of public programs, $83,294 net cost of programs to the poor, and $3,695,104 net expenses for services and community benefit programs provided at a loss to meet community needs. The following comments duplicate the comments for the first bullet point under Part VI, line 5. At the expense of the Medical Center, the clinic was completely renovated to meet the needs of LCHC.	CommunityInformation
Community Building Activities	Part VI, Line 5: The Medical Center also provided services to meet additional community needs by supporting other Health Awareness, Education and Health Promotion activities in the community as outlined below: - SJRMC was one of many public agencies, businesses, and organizations that came together to explore solutions to the access problems that Medicare, Medicaid, and uninsured patients are having establishing a medical home with a Primary Care Provider. Community Health Association of Spokane (CHAS), along with the help of the Access to Care Committee, agreed to pursue establishing a clinic here in the L-C Valley with the help of a Federal grant. To assist CHAS in the grant writing efforts and to show community commitment, SJRMC agreed to provide the free clinic space for at least the first year in our Lewiston Medical Center office building and assisted with the recruitment of a physician to staff the clinic. In March 2009, CHAS received a $1.2 million grant as part of the stimulus package to establish a FQHC in Lewiston with the caveat that the Clinic had to be open by July 1, 2009. As part of its commitment to the success and sustainability of the Lewis Clark health Center, SJRMC provided a monthly stipend of $10,000 to LCHC during FY10 to assist with the recruitment of an additional provider and agreed to provide the space rent free for two additional years. At the end of one year, LCHC had recruited an additional full time PA and a .75 NP; and established a medical home for over 1,700 patients.- Due to the rural nature of Idaho and Southeastern Washington, a shortage of mental health professionals exists. The Medical Center has developed strategies to address this issue by working with legislators to fund programs, continuing to develop Mental Health Telemedicine involvement with Idaho's Region II hospitals and educating the region, professionals and non-professionals by sponsoring/facilitating the annual Rural Mental Health Symposium event. The Mental Health Center also has a speaker bureau program where the centers mental health physicians are available to speak on educational and informational topics. This is a free program.- Provided mobile mammography and PACS access to some of the rural hospitals and clinics in the area who are otherwise unable to provide those services.- The Medical Center Foundation offered a series of free "Your Doctor Speaks" programs covering nine different healthcare topics presented by local physicians and national speakers. Almost 600 people attended these seminars. - The Medical Center Foundation's "Think First" program, which works with the local school districts, teaches head and spinal cord injury prevention to elementary and junior/ senior high classes. - The Medical Center's SeniorLife program for adults over age 60 assisted 274 seniors with Medicare Part D through its pharmacy program. This program is free and open to the public. The coordinator of this program helped seniors sign up for Medicare Part D and select the options that best served their needs. She also helped them sign up for medication assistance programs that made it possible for them to acquire medications that they could not otherwise afford.- The Outpatient Diabetes Education Center offered free education classes titled "Dining Out Made Simple", "Exercise As Medicine", "Diabetes Awareness Fair", and "Pre-Diabetes Awareness." These classes are offered at no expense to the participants in an ongoing effort to continue to educate the public on the management of diabetes. - The Medical Center's Community Health Education Resource Center presented "Go Red for Women" day, an event designed to increase awareness of heart disease, the #1 killer of women. This Open House event gave attendees a chance to learn about healthy choices in eating, exercise and risk factor reduction, and other lifestyle options -- all in an effort to improve the heart health of the women in our service area.	CommunityBuildingActivities
Other Information	Part VI, Line 6: St. Joseph Regional Medical Center continued training and education of health care professionals to help address the shortage of and expand the availability of trained clinicians. This has been accomplished with a governing body that draws from leaders in the religious community, the physician community and the local community. Idaho has one of the lowest physicians to population ratios in the United States. So, it is very important to emphasize the recruitment and retention of physicians, in order to meet the healthcare needs of the community. In FYE June 2010 the Medical Center worked very closely with its Medical Staff to enhance recruitment efforts of new physicians to the community. In addition to working with the Medical Staff, the Medical Center employed an in-house physician recruiter, who developed ongoing relationships with Ascension Health Physician Recruitment Services and Recruitment Firms throughout the country to market the provider opportunities in the community. In FYE June 2010 the Medical Center successfully recruited Oncologists and worked closely with Valley Medical Center to recruit an Obstetrician/Gynecologist, a Foot and Ankle Surgeon/Podiatrist and a Family Practice physician. The Medical Center also worked with the local pathology group to recruit a Pathologist. St. Joseph Regional Medical Center welcomed an additional Ophthalmologist and an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon to the Medical/Dental staff. Recruitment efforts continue in Neurology, Psychiatry, and Outpatient Family and Internal Medicine. In FYE June 2010 the Medical Center committed to providing a larger space for the St. Joseph Regional Cancer Center. In 2010, the Cancer Center (Medical Oncology Clinic) relocated into the newly remodeled location, tripling the Cancer Center's space from 3,000 square feet to 9,000 square feet. The Medical Center spent $933 thousand to complete this remodel which included five additional exam rooms, four additional infusion chairs, plus additional waiting space, physician and staff offices, and separate spaces for pharmacy and social services. The new facility also offers increased privacy for our patients and their families. The Medical Center provides the only cancer care within a 110 mile radius and serves patients from throughout the region. Further actions associated with the development of the Medical Oncology program included successful recruitment of two additional Oncologists in FYE June 2010. The Medical Center is designated by CMS as a Sole Community Hospital and provides many of the same services of a much larger acute care facility. The nearest acute care facility is located more than 100 miles to the north of our service area.	OtherInformation

As a member of Ascension Health, the nation's largest Catholic healthcare system and largest non-profit health care system, the Medical Center continues to build and strengthen sustainable collaborative services that benefit the health of individuals, families, communities, and society as a whole. One goal of the Medical Center is to facilitate the healing mission of the Church through strategic planning. The Medical Center furthers this goal through delivery of patient services, care to the elderly and indigent, patient education and health awareness programs for the community. The concern for all human life and the dignity of each person leads the organization to provide medical services to all people in the community without regard to the patient's race, creed, national origin, economic status, or ability to pay. The full extent to which the Medical Center provides community benefits and services to the region and to the patients is outlined below: Individuals, Families, and Communities Benefited by the Medical Center St. Joseph Regional Medical Center, located in Lewiston, Idaho, has 145 acute care beds and a 16-bed sub-acute unit. It is estimated that the Medical Center provides approximately 80% of the inpatient acute care hospital services in its primary care area and 40% of the inpatient services in its regional service area. The Medical Center serves as both a primary care facility and a secondary referral facility for residents of the Medical Center's nine county service area, which includes: Nez Perce, Latah, Idaho, Clearwater and Lewis counties, ID; Asotin, Garfield and Whitman counties, WA; and Wallowa county, OR, which has an aggregate population of about 174,000 people in north central Idaho, southeast Washington and northeast Oregon. The Medical Center is fully accredited by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations and has a regional cancer program accredited by the American College of Surgeons "With Commendation", which is only awarded to the top 5% of the ACS accredited hospitals in the country. In addition to providing healthcare services to all individuals who require medical attention, the Medical Center seeks to improve the physical, mental, social, and spiritual health status of its surrounding community. Operations and Governance to Providing Community Benefit In this community, the Medical Center: - Operates an Emergency Room and Minor Care that is open to all persons regardless of the ability to pay; - Provides a comprehensive array of inpatient and outpatient services to all persons without regard to race, color, creed, national origin, economic status, or ability to pay; - Participates in Medicare, Medicaid, County, TriCare, Indian Health Services and/or other government-sponsored health care programs to assure access of patients to services; - Provides a wide range of services and educational offerings to better meet the healthcare needs of patients in the region and improve the health status of the community; - Engages in the training and education of health care professionals to help address the shortage of and expand the availability of trained clinicians required to meet the health care needs of the community and region; and - Has a governing body that draws from leaders in the religious community, the physician community and the local community. Patients Served In FY2010 the Medical Center treated 5,093 adult, pediatric, newborn, transitional care and psychiatric inpatients for a total of 26,765 patient days of service. The Medical Center also provided service to 103,169 outpatients, including 2,649 outpatient surgery patients, 30,175 emergency and minor care patient visits, 8,687 Oncology clinic visits and 61,658 other outpatient visits. All Medical Center services are provided without regard to the patient's race, creed, national origin, economic status, or ability to pay.

The Medical Center has cooperated with the medical community to attract well-qualified physicians in a broad array of primary and specialty areas to help insure access to quality health care for patients in the region. Idaho continues to have one of the lowest physicians to population ratios in the United States. Therefore, it is very important to emphasize recruitment and retention of physicians in order to help meet the healthcare needs of the community. In FY2010 the Medical Center worked very closely with its Medical Staff to enhance recruitment efforts of new physicians to the community. In addition to working with the Medical Staff, the Medical Center continues to employ an in-house physician recruiter who has developed ongoing relationships with Ascension Health Physician Recruitment Services and Recruitment Firms throughout the country to market the provider opportunities in the community. In FY 2010 the Medical Center successfully recruited two (2) Oncologists (April/ May, 2010) for the Regional Cancer Clinic, The Medical Center worked closely with Valley Medical Center to recruit an Obstetrician/ Gynecologist (June, 2010), a Foot and Ankle Surgeon/ Podiatrist (October, 2009)) and a Family Practice physician (July 2010); and the Pathologist Regional Lab successfully recruited a Pathologist (July, 2010). SJRMC also welcomed to the Medical Staff an additional Ophthalmologist (May, 2010) and an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon (February, 2010). Recruitment efforts continue in Neurology, Psychiatry, and Outpatient Family and Internal Medicine.
	The Medical Center performs periodic reviews of medically needed services that are not currently being provided to residents of its service area. This review has led to the introduction of new services over the years: - Medical Oncology, neurosurgery, cardiology, and neurology (1983); - Expanded outpatient surgery, emergency services, and endoscopy laboratory (1985); - Radiation therapy services and magnetic resonance imaging services (1988); - Expanded nuclear medicine capabilities (1990); - Added Inpatient and expanded outpatient adult mental health (1992); - Transitional Care Unit (1995); - Expanded outpatient services (ER, Minor care, pain clinic, endoscopy lab (1999); - Picture Archiving Computer (2000); - Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning (2004); - Diagnostic Cardiac Catheterization (2005); - IMRT, New MRI, 64-Slice CT (2006); - Addition of an Inpatient Palliative Care Unit (2008); - Relocation of the Cancer Clinic to Idaho Street Building (2010). In FY2010 the Medical Center committed to providing a larger space for the St. Joseph Regional Cancer Center. The Cancer Center (Medical Oncology Clinic) relocated into the newly remodeled Idaho Street location, which had previously housed Home Health. The Medical Center spent $932,528 to complete this remodel which included five additional exam rooms, four additional infusion chairs and tripled the square footage from 3,000 square feet to 9,000 square feet, including additional waiting space, physician and staff offices, and separate spaces for pharmacy and social services. SJRMC provides the only cancer care within a 110 mile radius and serves patients from throughout the region. The other major improvement that was done at SJRMC in FY2010 was enhanced Information Technology specifically in the Emergency Room/ Minor Care Department. The Medical Center operates the largest and busiest Emergency/ Minor Care department in the North Central Idaho/ Southeastern Washington/ Northwest Oregon region. At a total cost of $279,447, DataScope a Central Monitoring system was installed to allow the department to centrally monitor all patients from different stations throughout the unit and also allows the Medical Center to handle more medical problems. Also improved was the Electronic Data Monitoring system, which provides higher accuracy and more ease of transferability to primary and specialty care physicians. The Medical Center invested in numerous capital improvements to enhance patient and community safety and patient services. The Radiology Department spent $56,176 upgrading to the SonoSite Portable Ultrasound to provide more on location services to patients. The Operating Room added the Hana Arthroplasty Table for $80,331 to provide patients better quality and improved safety of orthopedic care, specifically total hip and trauma surgeries. The Medical Center administers the largest Surgery department in the region and in FY2010 the Operating Room Imaging Management System was enhanced at a cost of $10,527. The Medical Center also operates the only obstetric department in the community and in FY2010 $16,987 on a Hearing Screener for the Family Beginnings Department. The total cost of these 6 projects was over $1.376 million to improve and enhance the quality of patient services and increase patient safety. Net Costs of Services Provided to the Elderly and Poor and to meet the Community need: In the spirit of principles adopted by Ascension Health, the Medical Center has taken proactive steps to address those issues that will affect accessibility, the financing and the delivery of health care to all persons, especially the uninsured, underinsured, and the underserved. The Medical Center provides a substantial portion of its services to the elderly and the poor. In FY2010 approximately 53% of the value of services rendered was to elderly patients under the Medicare program, and approximately 12.9% of the services were provided to patients who were deemed indigent under state, county, or Medical Center guidelines. The Medical Center provided $8,210,081 million in un-reimbursed cost of services to the poor and to meet the needs of the community as outlined below: - The unpaid cost of providing charity care based on a patient's inability to pay - $2,617,804 - The unpaid costs of public programs for indigent patients - $1,813,879 - The net cost of other programs for the poor - $83,294 - The net expense of services and community benefit programs provided at a loss to meet community needs - $3,695,104 Total cost for care of persons who are poor and community benefit programs - $8,210,081 The Medical Center provided hospital inpatient and outpatient services at a net loss in the following departments to maintain services to meet community needs: - Mental Health Inpatient and Outpatient Services - Transitional Care Unit - Occupational Therapy - Physical Therapy - Speech Therapy - Special Procedures Unit - Outpatient Nutritional Counseling - Nicotine Intervention Program - Home Respiratory - Hospice The Medical Center also provided services to meet community needs to support other Health Awareness, Education and Health Promotion activities in the community as outlined below: - Based on work previously done by the Local Access to Care Committee the Community Health Association of Spokane opened the Lewis-Clark Health Center, a Federal Qualified Health Clinic, on July 1, 2009 to help address access issues for Medicare, Medicaid, and uninsured patients. SJRMC provides the clinic with free office space directly across from the Hospital Emergency Room/Minor Care. At its first anniversary, LCHC had established a medical home for over 1700 patients. - Provided support to the Snake River Medical Clinic, a volunteer-staffed community clinic open two nights per week to treat the uninsured. - Provided funds to purchase initial prescriptions for indigent patients of the Medical Center. - Subsidized faculty expenses at Lewis-Clark State College (LCSC) to enable increased nursing student enrollments to address a local, regional and national shortage of nurses. - Provided Carondelet Scholarships and other scholarships for books and tuition for students enrolled in clinical education programs at local colleges to expand the availability of qualified health care workers in the future. - Provided a 100% match of Associate donations to the local United Way, an agency which provides supplemental support to non-profit agencies involved in Health Awareness, Education and Promotion. - Provided support to assist in recruitment of physicians to the community to meet community health care needs. Uninsured patients continue to receive a discount off their initial bills in order to improve the affordability of health care to these patients. All uninsured and insured patients are eligible for financial screening for further adjustment to their bills based on documented income and expense profiles provided by the patient or guarantor; and the resulting ability to pay all of, or part of, the remainder of the bill over a four year period of time. Financial Assistance materials have been included in the Admission packets and are available at all Registration Areas alerting the patient to the availability of Financial Assistance. Information is also included on bills sent to patients so they can contact the Medical Center to request an application for Financial Assistance in the settlement of their bill. The Medical Center will write off 100% of a bill for a patient/family with no insurance which has a documented income profile level that is 100% or less of the Federal Poverty Level. Eligibility for further discounts is based on an ability of the patient to pay after the patient completes a financial application for the Medical Center evaluation. The Medical Center reviews the completed application regarding income, expense, assets, and liabilities to determine the extent of Financial Assistance that can be offered according to the Medical Center policies. The Medical Center has an arrangement with a financing company to enable the patient or guarantor to finance payment of medical bills. The Medical Center has a policy that all alternative sources of financial assistance, including application to various Medicaid, County and other available programs must be applied for, and rejected, before Financial Assistance is provided by the Medical Center. Failure of the patient or guarantor to follow-through on the application of financial assistance that may be available from another source will constitute reason for denial of an application for Financial Assistance from the Medical Center. Trends, Needs, and Problems in the Community and the Medical Center Strategies to Address Them:
	Shortage of Primary Care Physicians There are not enough Primary Care Physicians (Family Practice and Internal Medicine) to meet the needs of the community, and provide timely access to care, especially those without insurance or on Medicaid. The shortage is such that some Medicare patients and patients with insurance are not able to establish a Primary Care relationship. Due to this shortage, the Medical Center is experiencing an increase in volume in our Minor Care and Emergency Department. The Medical Center strategies to address the issue: - Purchased the Lewiston Medical Center Office buildings to ensure that the 20 physicians located there would have a place to continue their practice. - Provide the Community Health Association of Spokane (CHAS Clinic) free rent for two years, FY2010 and FY2011 for establishing a Federally Qualified Health Clinic in the Lewis-Clark Valley with two providers offering services; and provided a $10,000 per month stipend to recruit an additional provider during the first year of operations. - Recruitment efforts for Internal Medicine, Family Practice, Emergency Medicine, Psychiatry, and Neurology include recruitment fees and expenses, relocation assistance and income guarantee with "loan" forgiveness in conjunction with the Medical Staff. - Establish a Primary Care Strategic Directions Committee to develop strategies to address physician shortages. Growing Number of Uninsured North Central Idaho has not seen the growth or economic prosperity that the rest of Idaho has experienced over the past several years. This region still has a natural resource based economy and the loss of jobs in timber and agriculture, that traditionally had insurance benefits, has not rebounded. This is especially true in the outlying communities and counties. The shift in jobs has been to lower paying jobs, many with limited or without health benefits. the Medical Center has also seen a dramatic increase in the amount of deductibles and co-pays, especially patients with individual coverage. The Medical Center strategies to address the issue: - Work with the Idaho Hospital Association to continue to fund ACCESS IDAHO, a private/public program to provide health insurance access to lower paid workers - Continue to advocate for CHIP funding at the State and Federal levels - Participate in Ascension Health Leadership Plan including the 100% Access Campaign - Continued involvement with Cover the Uninsured Week activities - Continue the Medical Center's Patient Advocate/ Representative program - Assist with the establishment of a Federally Qualified Health Clinic in the community. Medical Education The Medical Center is concerned that a number of educational programs for health care professionals are either not available in the local community, or are not graduating enough students to meet the health care needs of the community. Therefore, the Medical Center has developed an extensive affiliation program with educational institutions. 278 students utilized the Medical Center as a clinical teaching site in FY2010 in the programs outlined below: Registered Nurse Education: Walla Walla Community College - 120 Lewis-Clark State College - 76 University of North Dakota - 1 Certified Nurse Assistant: Lewis-Clark State College - 27 High School Health Program: Lewiston High School (CNA) - 7 Lapwai High School (US) - 2 Masters of Social Work: Walla Walla University - 1 Medical School Rotations: WWAMI Program - 3 Physicians Assistant/Family Nurse Practioners: University of Washington - 6 Gonzaga University - 1 EMT/Paramedic: Lewiston Fire Department - 6 Columbia Basin College - 6 Radiology Technicians: Lewis-Clark State College - 15 Wenatchee Community College - 1 Weber State - 1 Respiratory Therapy: Independence University - 2 PharmD Students: Washington State University - 3 TOTAL - 278 Access to Mental Health Services With the rural nature of Idaho and Southeastern Washington, Mental Health Services are often only found at the larger population centers. This is due to a shortage of mental health professionals and very inadequate reimbursement for those who provide service. People often don't seek help until their mental health problems have created a crisis.
	The Medical Center strategies to address this issue: - Continue work with Senator Stegner (District State Senator) to champion additional Regional Mental Health Councils, fund programs, and create additional legislation to better address mental health and drug addiction services - Continue Mental Health Telemedicine involvement with the Regional Tele-health Board, and Idaho's Region II hospitals. - Maintain presence on Regional Mental Health Board. - Advocate Legislature for a Drug Treatment Center for North Central/Northern Idaho. - Work with the Social Detox Committee, through the United Way and various other locations - Continue to educate the region, professionals and non-professionals, thru the annual education event the Rural Mental Health Symposium. Community organizations collaborating with the hospital to improve community health, expand access to health care, or in other ways benefit the community: - Lewis-Clark State College, Walla Walla Community College and other educational institutions outlined Medical Education utilize the Medical Center as a clinical teaching site for 278 students in 17 specific educational programs and increase the number of clinical service students that would choose employment in the community after graduation. - Coordination with the North-Central Health District on health screening programs to identify developmentally disabled children who can benefit from an improvement in their physical abilities and/or speech functions. - Donations to support of the Snake River Community Clinic for the uninsured population. - Bringing the Hospitalist Program in house to better recruit additional Hospitalist which will allow PCP's to practice solely in the outpatient clinic setting; extend PCP's work life, and better position the community to recruit needed physicians to the area. - Sponsor educational programs on wellness, health education and disease-specific support groups to improve the health status of the community. - Collaborate with Meals on Wheels to produce dietary appropriate, balanced meals to the home-bound. - Provided mobile mammography and PACS access to some of the rural hospitals and clinics in the area who are otherwise unable to provide those services. - Contracted to provide Mental Health professional services in local nursing homes. - Provided contracted Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapy services to Head Start and school districts that don't have the capability of supporting those services on their own. - Expanded/Upgraded IT linkages between the Medical Center and physician offices to transmit test results and radiology, MRI, CT and other images to accelerate diagnosis and treatment. - Provided work rehabilitation programs to assist employees of local firms with work related injuries to return to work more quickly, and with greater functionality. - Assist the community Access to Care group and CHAS Clinic to establish a Federally Qualified Health Clinic (FQHC) in the community. - Provided a Nicotine Intervention Program. - The Medical Center Foundation works with the local school districts.

	Patient and Associate Education The Medical Center believes that, in order to provide the best health care to the community, its personnel must receive ongoing medical education. Educational resources are provided in-house, and externally, to insure that both clinical and non-clinical personnel maintain up-to-date education related to their area of responsibility. Through the Medical Center's educational tuition reimbursement program available to all employees, incentives are provided to upgrade the staff's knowledge base, encourage continued professional development and training, and offer potential advancement opportunities. In addition to educating its own staff, the Medical Center also facilitates and funds education programs for other health care providers in the region. The Hospital Satellite Network, an educational service subscribed to by the Medical Center, is available throughout the area. Funding is provided for additional faculty at Lewis Clark State College in the nursing and radiographic technology programs to increase the number of students in these fields (where there is current shortages). Carondelet scholarships are provided for books and tuition to local students to assist them in attaining their educational objectives; in return these scholars have agreed to provide service to the Medical Center's patients upon graduation from their respective programs. THE SJRMC Auxiliary awards four $1,500 scholarships each year to students in the Nursing programs at neighboring Lewis-Clark State College and Walla Walla Community College. Both in-house and throughout the community and region, the Medical Center strives to supply educational opportunities at all levels. From students, to employees and area healthcare providers the Medical Center continues to be a strong supporter of medical education.
