Part V, Line 4:The endowment funds are held and administered by Valley Health Systems, Inc. The intended use of the funds is to provide a predictable, stable, and consistent stream of earnings for Holyoke Medical Center, Inc. to be used for free care and general operations.
Part X, Line 2:The Medical Center is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Tax-exempt 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 Medical Center has evaluated the position taken on its filed tax returns. The Medical Center has concluded no uncertain income tax positions exist at September 30, 2025. The Medical Center's tax years from 2023 through 2025 are open and subject to examination.

Part VI, Line 2:Holyoke Medical Center conducts a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) of the community it serves every three years in conjunction with numerous agencies. As part of the CHNA, community meetings were held with numerous local agencies including Holyoke Housing Authority residents, Holyoke and Chicopee City Officials, Holyoke Public Schools, Holyoke Community Policing, Holyoke Medical Center (Valley Health Systems' staff members, including representatives from Holyoke Medical Center and Holyoke Visiting Nurse Association), MassHire YouthWorks Staff and Students, OneHolyoke CDC Residents and Staff, The Salvation Army Holyoke representatives, and ServiceNet Clinicians. HMC Community Benefits maintains partnerships with many of these agencies throughout the year to continue to assess community needs. HMC conducted over 40 stakeholder interviews for its 2025 CHNA, which included meeting with Board of Health Directors from Holyoke, South Hadley, Chicopee and Westfield; Holyoke's Mayor, Director of Planning and Economic Development, a City Councilor, and Chief of Police; Holyoke's Housing Authority, Holyoke Health Center's Chief Medical Officer, MA State Representative, Pat Duffy, Lorraine's Soup Kitchen Executive Director, Access Care Partners, Westfield Pride, OneHolyoke CDC, two of HMC's Nurse Navigation members, and the Community Benefits Advisory Committee which includes representatives from HMC, OneHolyoke CDC, Hampden County Sheriff's Department, HMC Behavioral Health, Holyoke Health Center and Greater Holyoke YMCA, among others. In addition, as part of the CHNA process, HMC implemented a survey with over 60 questions in English and Spanish, among over 400 community members. These questions were developed with the Western Massachusetts Hospital Coalition so that all involved asked the same questions in the various communities they serve. This collaboration and consistency allows data to be shared and analyzed between the other Western Massachusetts hospitals so that solutions can be worked on regionally through the Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP). The results help to inform the Holyoke Medical Center's Strategic Implementation Plan and the type of programming to offer in the community to help address the needs identified. In addition to the CHNA, HMC uses the Thrive survey, a tool used to screen for social determinants of health. Based on the responses, providers are able to make referrals for those showing need in areas of housing, food, paying for medication, caring for a dependent, paying for utilities, domestic violence, and transportation. In 2025, HMC provided 13,000 THRIVE screenings and referred those in need to resources.HMC Community Benefits Director also participates in a variety of boards and committees to continually assess the needs of the community and create relationships with non-profit organizations for their feedback. These include the Greater Holyoke Chamber, Girls Inc. of the Valley, The Salvation Army, Hampden County Community Health Improvement Plan committee through Pioneer Valley Planning Authority - Community Team 4 Healthy and Active Living, Holyoke Food & Resources with State Representative, Pat Duffy, Holyoke High Dean Campus Program Advisory Committee, Let's Move Hampden County, 5210 committee, McKinney-Vento Homeless Coalition for Holyoke Public Schools, McKinney-Vento Homeless Coalition for Chicopee Public Schools, Safe Routes to School - Walking School Bus, School Community Health Advisory Council for Holyoke Public Schools, Westover Job Corps Community Relations Council and Western Mass Hospital Coalition. These meetings not only serve the respective organization's specific community, they also connect the hospital to many other community based organizations who are participants. In addition, other HMC staff participate in other committees and boards including the Greater Chicopee Chamber of Commerce, Holyoke Rotary, Holyoke HUB, and the Greater Holyoke YMCA to name a few. Key Objectives:The objective of Holyoke Medical Center's 2025 Community Health Needs Assessment was to: 1. Identify most pressing health needs. 2. Identify contributing factors that create barriers to living a healthy life. 3. Identify vulnerable populations that are experiencing health disparities. 4. Compare findings from this year to the 2022 CHNA to see what issues are still relevant. 5. Use the findings to create a strategic implementation plan to help bridge gaps to good health in our community.CHNA Conclusions: Many of the findings echoed those from the 2022 assessment, including ongoing concerns around mental health, housing instability, substance misuse, and access to healthcare. Persistent challenges such as affordable housing, homelessness and food insecurity seemed heightened in community meetings with increases to cost of living. Support for vulnerable populations remained a central theme.However, the 2025 CHNA also highlights new insights including a rapidly aging population. According to the 2025 Massachusetts Healthy Aging Data Report, within the next decade, one in three residents in many Western Massachusetts communities will be age 65 or older. This demographic shift is expected to significantly impact the local workforce, healthcare systems, home-based services, and the demand for accessible housing. It also underscores the need for increased attention to senior care, caregiver support, and age-friendly infrastructure.Another highlight, Access to technology, while a known challenge for many, was not emphasized in the 2022 assessment. However, by 2025, it has emerged as a key concern due to the increasing reliance on digital tools for telehealth, patient portals, remote work, online learning, job applications, and benefits. There are more than 9% of households in Hampden county without internet access and another 19.7% below the FCC's broadband internet standard, both significantly higher than the rest of the state. This number increases to 31% of households without internet access in some sections of Holyoke and 25% without a computer.Ongoing mental health issues remain a concern for both adults and youth in Hampden County. Since the 2022 CHNA, the average number of mentally unhealthy days reported by adults has risen from 5.2 to 6 days per month, indicating a modest but meaningful increase in emotional distress. Among youth, findings from the Chicopee Youth Health Survey reveal that 32% of 10th and 12th grade students experienced persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness--lasting nearly every day for two consecutive weeks--severe enough to interfere with their daily activities.HMC reviewed all community feedback and identified the most commonly shared priority areas. To guide decisionmaking around community benefits, a set of guiding principles were established to help determine how best to address these needs. The goals of HMC's community benefits program are to: 1. Increase healthcare access by addressing key social determinants of health. 2. Serve vulnerable and underserved populations especially with chronic conditions. 3. Concentrate on the concerns that are most consistent with the organization's strengths and not addressed byexisting community assets.
Part VI, Line 3:1) General Principles:Holyoke Medical Center, Inc. or its agents will assist uninsured and underinsured patients with the process of applying for available financial assistance programs that may pay for some or all of their hospital bills. In order to help uninsured and underinsured patients find and apply for available financial assistance, HMC will provide all patients with a general notice of the availability of programs by way of posted notices throughout HMC and by way of individual notices to patients. The goal of these notices is to inform patients regarding the availability of financial assistance, as well as assistance with the application process. Holyoke Medical Center, Inc. will assist patients with the application process for the following Massachusetts programs: MassHealth, Commonwealth Care, CMSP, Healthy Start, Health Safety Net, and Medical Hardship through the Health Safety Net. Holyoke Medical Center, Inc. will provide, upon request, specific information about: (a) the eligibility criteria to be a low income patient under the Massachusetts Health Safety Net program or (b) additional financial assistance programs that HMC may in its discretion make available to low income patients from time-to-time. Holyoke Medical Center, Inc. will also notify the patient about available payment plans that may be available to them pursuant to HSN regulations.2) Role of Hospital Patient Financial Counselors and Other Finance Staff:Holyoke Medical Center, Inc. will attempt to identify available coverage options for patients who may be uninsured or underinsured when the patient is scheduling services, while the patient is at HMC, upon discharge and for a reasonable time following discharge. Holyoke Medical Center, Inc. will direct all patients seeking available coverage options to HMC's Patient Financial Counseling office for eligibility screening and assistance with the application process, including the application process for financial assistance programs that HMC may in its discretion make available to low income patients from time-to-time.Holyoke Medical Center, Inc. will also provide information on how to contact the appropriate staff within the hospital's Finance Department to verify the accuracy of the hospital bill or to dispute certain charges.3) Notification Practices:Holyoke Medical Center, Inc. will post a notice (signs) of availability of financial assistance in the following locations: a. Service delivery areas (e.g., inpatient, clinic, emergency department admission and/or registration areas); b. Patient financial counselor areas; c. Central admission/registration areas; and/or d. Business office areas that are open to patients.Posted signs will be clearly visible and legible to patients visiting these areas. The hospital will also include a notice about the availability of financial assistance in all initial bills.When a patient contacts the hospital, the hospital finance staff will attempt to identify if a patient qualifies for a public financial assistance program or a payment plan. A patient who is enrolled in a public financial assistance program (e.g., MassHealth or the Health Safety Net) may qualify for certain plans. Patients may also qualify for additional assistance based on the hospital's own internal criteria for financial assistance or qualify for coverage of services as a medical hardship based on the patient's documented income and allowable medical expenses.For cases in which the hospital is using the Virtual Gateway application, the hospital will assist the patient in completing the application for MassHealth, Commonwealth Care, Children's Medical Security Plan, Health Start, Health Safety Net, or other forms of financial assistance programs as they become part of the Virtual Gateway program.All signs and notices shall be translated into languages other than English if such language is primarily spoken by 10% or more of the residents in the hospital service area, which is based on the hospital admissions and/or discharge information.
Part VI, Line 4:As reported in its 2025 CHNA (2024 tax year), based on the geographic area where most of its patients come from, HMC's primary service areas are: Holyoke, Chicopee, South Hadley, West Springfield and Westfield. The total population for the primary service area is over 180,000, and reports the following key demographics and statistics: - $53,605 median household income. - 27% of people are considered to be living in poverty. - 58.4% of the population speaks only English; 38.1% can speak Spanish. - 62.7% of all families with children are composed of a single female with children. - The number of people living below the poverty level has decreased from approximately 12,000 to 10,000 over about 10 years. - 29% of adults have obtained at least a high school degree. An additional 16% have completed at least some college education. The rates of adults without a high school degree have decreased over time. - The rates of children enrolled in nursery school or preschool have increased over time. - Approximately 41% of homes are owner occupied. - 19% of homes do not have a vehicle. - 2.3% of the population is deemed White, and 52.4% is deemed Hispanic or Lantino. The final approximately 5% is composed of persons deemed as Black, Hawaiian, Asian, or Other.Additionally, and in coordination with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health Community Health Equity Survey (CHES), Holyoke Medical Center's service area reports the following demographic statistics. Housing Stability and Basic Needs:Housing is a foundation for health. Poor housing conditions can trigger or worsen chronic illnesses and housing instability can impact overall mental health. - 10.6% of respondents in HMC's service area reported no steady place for housing. - 11.5% of respondents in HMC's service area reported being worried about losing housing. - 21.5% of respondents in HMC's service area reported internet connectivity issues. - 37.7% of respondents in HMC's service area reported applying for/received economic assistance. - 51.7% of respondents in HMC's service area reported Trouble paying for any basic needs in past year. Safety & Discrimination:Safety and discrimination are critical factors shaping health and well-being. These issues can be tied to higher rates of anxiety, depression, chronic diseases, substance abuse, and lower life expectancy. In community meetings, sex trafficking, domestic and intimate partner violence were issues raised as health concerns. - 29.2% of respondents in HMC's service area reported experiencing neighborhood violence. - 43.8% of respondents in HMC's service area reported experiencing intimate partner violence. - 28.3% of respondents in HMC's service area reported experiencing sexual violence. - 65.8% of respondents in HMC's service area reported feeling some form of discrimination. Employment:Employment provides income and stability required for basic needs. Many jobs also offer health insurance and paid sick leave, improving access to healthcare and supporting recovery from illness. Work can also provide social connections and a sense of purpose. During community health needs assessment meetings, participants highlighted challenges around earning a livable wage. Many individuals are juggling multiple part-time jobs to stay afloat, often without access to health insurance. Their work schedule may also make it difficult to take time off for medical appointments, further limiting their ability to access the healthcare they need. - 21.1% of respondents in HMC's service area reported holding more than one job. - 77.9% of respondents in HMC's service area reported paid sick leave at work. - 32% of respondents in HMC's service area reported working from home or having a hybrid work environment. Healthcare:Access to telehealth can make it easier for people to get care. While the data shows that even though many people report having chronic conditions, there is still potential for progress in meeting unmet needs for mental health care, help with short-term illness, or ongoing health issues. - 54.2% of respondents in HMC's service area reported at least one telehealth visit in the past year. - 67.8% of respondents in HMC's service area reported reported having a chronic condition. - 20% of respondents in HMC's service area reported having an unmet healthcare need in the past year. - 17.3% of respondents in HMC's service area reported an unmet mental health care need in the past year. - 16.4% of respondents in HMC's service area reported an unmet, ongoing health condition. - 12.1% of respondents in HMC's service area reported an unmet need for a short-term illness. Mental Health:In the HMC service area, over one-third (36.1%) of survey respondents reported having a mental health condition. Feelings of isolation were higher in the HMC area, with 24.6% of respondents reporting feeling isolated, compared to 13% across Massachusetts. Psychological distress was also notably greater, with nearly half (48.5%) of HMC respondents experiencing high or very high levels of distress in the past month, compared to 31.8% of respondents statewide. Overall, survey respondents in the HMC area report experiencing more mental health challenges and feelings of isolation than the state average. Substance Use:Alcohol use in the HMC service area was lower than the state average, with 37.3% of survey respondents reporting drinking in the past month compared to 48.8% of respondents across Massachusetts. Medical marijuana use was higher in the HMC area at 8.8%, while only 6.3% of survey respondents statewide reported using it. Use of nicotine products was also notably higher among survey respondents in the HMC service area at 25.2% compared to Massachusetts overall at 14.2%. Additionally, 17.2% of HMC survey respondents said they used non-medical marijuana in the past month, compared to 13.4% statewide.In summary, while alcohol use is lower among survey respondents in the HMC service area, the use of medical marijuana, nicotine products, and non-medical marijuana is higher among respondents than the Massachusetts average.
