The CHNA report also describes Northwestern Memorial Hospital's CHNA goals and objectives, public dissemination plan, and development of the Implementation Plan. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 5 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - NORTHWESTERN MEMORIAL HOSPITAL. The CHNA framework for this hospital facility consisted of a systematic, data-driven approach to determine the health status, behaviors and healthcare needs of residents in this community service area. The assessment provided information that allowed hospital leadership and key community partners to identify health issues of greatest concern among all residents and decide how best to commit the hospitals' resources to those areas, thereby achieving the greatest possible impact on the community's health status. The CHNA incorporated data from both quantitative and qualitative sources and included a community input survey, focus groups and key informant interviews. Prevalent needs were identified across all socioeconomic groups, races, ethnicities, ages and genders. The assessment highlighted health and socioeconomic disparities and needs that disproportionately impact the medically underserved and uninsured. To ensure that the community organizations impacting health in this hospital facility's community service area were meaningfully engaged in interpreting and prioritizing the identified needs, as well as the development of a collaborative plan to address priority needs, a Community Engagement Council was established. This multidisciplinary council consisted of Northwestern Medicine physicians, leaders and staff as well as key community partners who were selected based on strong collaborative efforts to improve the health of the community, including the medically underserved, minority and low-income populations. Community organizations that generously gave their time and expertise to help guide the entire CHNA process are listed below. 1. Bright Star Community Outreach 2. Center for Housing and Health 3.

Through the CHNA prioritization process, this hospital facility prioritized Significant Health Needs to address in accordance with IRS regulations. These needs will be referred to as Priority Health Needs throughout the remainder of the document. This hospital facility worked collaboratively to develop strategies and identify resources and areas for collaboration, where applicable, to impact each priority health need. Priority Need 1: Behavioral Health 1.1: Access: Improve access to behavioral health care services by expanding the collaborative care model within the community. Conditions like depression and anxiety can affect a person's ability to sleep, work, or maintain healthy behaviors. 40% of CHNA survey respondents identified access to behavioral health services as a need within their community. Providing robust and acute access to behavioral health care services to patients will help patients better manage their mental health conditions such as depression. The Collaborative Care Model is an integrated care model that treats common mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety in the primary care setting. Based on principles of effective chronic illness care, Collaborative Care focuses on defined patient populations tracked in a registry, measurement-based practice and treatment to target. Trained primary care providers and embedded behavioral health professionals provide evidence-based medication or psychosocial treatments, supported by regular psychiatric case consultation and treatment adjustment for patients who are not improving as expected. The patient is seen by the PCP (Primary Care Physician) who screens for depression or anxiety. If positive, the patient is referred to a behavioral health (BH) care manager who provides care including therapy. The BH care manager regularly consults with a psychiatrist who recommends a course of action, including medication. The PCP prescribes and monitors psychotropic medication. The PCP bills through primary care codes. NM is partnering with our community health partner, the Inner-City Muslim Action Network (IMAN) to replicate the model within their primary care offices. IMAN provides comprehensive behavioral health for teens, families and adults. NM has had a collaborative care model integrated with in its primary care office for over 10 years and the providers and staff involved in the initial pilot of the Collaborative Care model are part of the team that is helping IMAN. To date, we have held several sessions with IMAN providers and staff to educate them on the model, and the entire IMAN behavioral health and FQHC team, including providers, have participated in a training session with the NM behavioral health team. We have mapped out key workflows and staffing models that will need to be implemented for the model to be fully realized including the billing/scheduling templates, electronic medical record integration, and patient charting. In FY24, we hope to start implementation of the collaborative care model. As IMAN is on a different EMR platform from NM (EPIC), they are still in the process of trying to build out the billing system in their EMR (Athena). 1.2: Programming: Assess behavioral health community programming needs to identify and implement appropriate programs. Research has shown many behavioral health disparities exist among marginalized populations. As part of NMH's recent CHNA, 24% of survey respondents from its community service area (CSA) reported having inadequate socio-emotional support. For individuals belonging to multiple disadvantaged or minority groups, the behavioral health disparity can be even more prevalent. To address this unmet need, NMH established the following three-pronged strategy and approach towards developing behavioral health education and programming content which includes: a) performing surveillance and conducting community listening sessions to assess and understand community perceptions and specific concerns regarding behavioral health needs, experiences, and the availability of mental health resources within their community; and b). Analyzing the data collected to identify gaps; and c). leveraging the data insights to inform NMH decision-making related to planning and delivery of future behavioral health programming to meet community need. In 2023, NMH efforts have focused mostly on performing surveillance and conducting community listening sessions with our community partners. During Q3 - Q4, NMH deployed a 15-question survey instrument at local community events in the Bronzeville community located on Chicago's Southside. The survey was designed to help measure and assess community perceptions regarding mental health needs. During the 3-month collection period, NMH collected over 350 completed surveys from community members. From the survey responses gathered, respondents indicated the following as behavioral health conditions most experienced: Anxiety (16%), Depression (16%), Racism/Microaggressions (13%) and Sexism (11%). The data also revealed many respondents are hindered by an inability to locate behavioral health support or are unsure how to locate the support that is needed. In this scenario 30% of respondents reported they either didn't know where to go for help or to receive an official diagnosis. In addition to the survey deployment activity conducted on Chicago's Southside, NMH also collaborated with its partner, Kelly Hall YMCA, located in the West Humboldt Park community on Chicago's West side, to implement "Coffee Clinicals." These gatherings serve as informal, ongoing meetings where NMH can connect with community members while hearing and learning more about topics of relevance and importance to them in the space of behavioral health. "Coffee Clinicals" was launched in Q4 of 2023, and we will continue conducting these informal sessions throughout the duration of 2024. Beyond the community surveillance and listening session phase of our planning, the project aim is to use the information collected to guide the future design and implementation of behavioral health education, prevention and programming content to be delivered in both the Bronzeville and West Humboldt Park communities. In collaboration with our partner Kelly Hall YMCA, we have designed a programming framework along with a list of potential education and topics for future rollout. As part of our planning and design phase, we have drafted a behavioral health calendar that will deliver approximately 16 program sessions in 2024. Of the anticipated 16 program sessions to be delivered, we anticipate a mix of programming content that will target an audience of approximately 75% adults and 25% youth. In terms of program calendar and cadence, we have planned for 2 sessions per month where one class will be more education-focused and the other will be more community discussion focused. Our program calendar launched this March, with the delivery of Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training and will continue through the remainder of 2024. As additional consideration, we have planned for ongoing monitoring of all behavioral health education and programming through the collection of survey data to help inform content development and effectiveness of program delivery. We are currently conducting a community partner assessment in Bronzeville to identify an appropriate community partner(s) with whom we may also collaborate to expand NMH delivery of behavioral health education and programming on Chicago's Southside. We have established a target goal of having a South side partner(s) identified by the end of Q2 2024. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 2 Facility , 2 - Northwestern Memorial Hospital. 1.3: Training: Expand behavioral health training and education for Bright Star Community Outreach ambassadors. The shortage of behavioral health resources is a persistent challenge, particularly felt amongst underserved communities. This challenge is made worse by the absence of educated, trained workers, limiting the ability to meet demand and adequately address community needs. To address this gap, NM, in collaboration with its community partner Bright Star Community Outreach (BSCO) and through their T.U.R.N. Center, are partnering to foster and expand delivery of behavioral health training and education for BSCO Ambassadors. To date, NMH and BSCO have held several sessions to review and assess their existing training calendar, as well as brief listening sessions to better understand BSCO ambassador feedback regarding perceived training gaps and how NMH may better assist in helping them expand and evolve their training curriculum. Following the pre-assessment steps taken to date, NMH and BSCO teams are currently in the planning and design phase, where we will identify specific trainings and workshops to be included as part of our menu offerings. The design phase shall consist of both short-term and long-term training and workshop solutions. For our near-term training solutions, NMH is currently reviewing training programs from its existing menu of trainings that can quickly be delivered to BSCO and the community within the next 3-6-month timeframe. Existing trainings are being reviewed for clinical and cultural relevancy prior to delivery. The behavioral health trainings currently being evaluated for immediate delivery include Mental Health First Aid (Adult / Youth), Self-Coaching for Small Changes and Habits, What's Your Beat and Stress Management and Mindfulness. NMH is also exploring a longer-term approach to training that involves developing a comprehensive, evidence-based training curriculum in partnerships with other behavioral health partners, such as NAMI (National Alliance in Mental Illness). This approach will help build capacity while still providing BSCO ambassadors with the knowledge, skills and confidence they require to effectively engage with individuals who are facing behavioral health challenges. We anticipate initiating efforts towards our longer-term approach later in 2024 (Q3 / Q4) and anticipate being in position to implement and launch trainings by early 2025. As additional support consideration, once our training curriculum and offerings have been developed and implemented, we will monitor training efforts ongoing through the collection of survey data to help inform the effectiveness of training delivery. Priority Need 2: Employment and Youth Development 2.1: Recruitment: Expand recruitment outreach and measurable impact in under-resourced areas. In FY23, we increased efforts to expand awareness and engagement of under-resourced community members to NM employment and training resources. During this time, we've increased the number of community-based organizations with whom we've established a talent pipeline by 150%. There were 4 such organizations in FY22. The number increased to 10 in FY23. We've also coordinated and/or participated in 22 community recruitment and engagement events in FY23. Although this is a modest improvement when compared to the previous fiscal year, we've hired additional staff to work exclusively on community recruitment in mid-late FY23. 2.2: Employment: Mitigate accessibility barriers to Northwestern Medicine employment and training opportunities. Northwestern Medicine has a never-ending goal to make access to our employment and training opportunities more equitable. Our recent efforts to achieve this goal are highlighted by our community employment referral process. Individuals referred for NM job opportunities by our formal community partners are fast-tracked through the interviewing/hiring process. With training from NM community recruitment and retention leadership, our community partners can effectively recruit, prescreen and refer suitable job candidates from under-resourced communities to Northwestern Medicine for employment. It can take up to two months for traditional employment candidates to be contacted by one of our Talent Acquisition professionals. The Community Recruitment and Referral Process allows Talent Acquisition staff to engage with community partner employment referrals within 72 business hours of them being referred to Northwestern Medicine. The Northwestern Medicine Work based Learning Program is an internal resource used to mitigate the skills and experience gap between community employment referrals and their NM job of interest. Through this program, NM agrees to hire candidates who do not meet the minimum requirements for select roles and provide them with the minimum skills training and/or experience they're lacking upon hire. We've expanded the Northwestern Medicine Work based Learning Program to support 10 NM roles in FY23. In FY22, the program supported seven NM roles. Roles currently supported by the NM Work based Learning Program are as follows: Clinical Lab Assistant Housekeeping Assistant Specialist I/Environmental Services Medical Assistant Patient Access Specialist Patient Care Technician Patient Escort Patient Service Representative Sterile Processing Technician Imaging Technician Assistant Material Service Coordinator II 2.3: Youth Development: Strengthen and develop youth pipeline and youth career development programs to promote careers in healthcare fields and paraprofessional roles to students in under-resourced communities. NMH's vision is to offer enriching experiences to high school students to expose and promote careers in healthcare fields and paraprofessional roles, with an emphasis on recruiting and attracting students from under-resourced zip codes located on the South and West sides of Chicago. In FY23, NMH supported and addressed youth development via its pipeline programs, namely through its NM Grosvenor Discovery and NM Grosvenor Scholars programs. The NM Grosvenor Discovery Program is designed for high school students interested in health care and who may have limited access to opportunities to explore related careers. Through this program, students meet once per month where they are exposed to a range of healthcare jobs, interact and network with guest speakers and healthcare professionals and participate in engaging activities. The NM Grosvenor Scholars Program offers enriching experiences to high school students through our 2 partner schools: George Westinghouse College Prep, located in the West Humboldt Park community on Chicago's West side; and DuSable Campus, home to Daniel Hale Williams Medical and Bronzeville Scholastic Institute, located in the Bronzeville community on Chicago's Southside. Students enter this program beginning their freshman year and continue through their senior year of high school where they receive year-round academic support and participate in an annual summer intensive experience each year. Through both programs in FY23, NMH successfully targeted, recruited and enrolled 111 students, drove youth awareness and knowledge of healthcare and science professions and provided guidance through mentorship support. Additionally, in the first year of this triennial cycle, 17% of students admitted to NMH's pipeline programs were representative of students from Chicago's South and West sides. During FY23, in response to capacity constraints observed around admission to our NM Discovery and NM Scholars programs, NMH identified a new opportunity and alternate pathway whereby students may receive a glimpse into healthcare professions. Recognizing that many jobs in healthcare don't require extensive education but offer competitive pay, flexible hours and career growth, NMH launched its "Healthcare is Calling Roadshow." The roadshow is adaptable for classroom visits, extracurricular club visits and career fairs. In its inaugural launch of the "Healthcare is Calling Roadshow," 727 students attended and NMH was able to share insight regarding educational paths and potential earnings for specific careers. Students could engage with experienced professionals and explore a range of healthcare careers that may not have been considered. Last, as part of NMH's vision to offer enriching experiences, we set a goal of strengthening and developing our youth pipeline by providing students access to internships and work experiences that would allow for greater exposure, while meeting students where they are in their career exploration process. In FY23, NMH awarded 54 internships to students to improve their career readiness capabilities. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 3 Facility , 3 - Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Priority Need 3: Violence and Community Safety 3.1: Connection to Community Resources: Implement a hospital-based violence intervention program in the Northwestern Memorial Hospital Emergency Department. Northwestern Memorial Hospital's Trauma Division and Community Services Department has worked collaboratively with dedicated community-based organizations, such as Acclivus Inc. (previously Cease Fire and Cure Violence), Inner-City Muslim Action Network (IMAN) and Bright Star Community Outreach among others, for 15 years. Most recently the program served 150 unique patients and families in 2023, 168 in 2022 and 183 in 2021. In collaboration with community-based organizations, the program has implemented violence prevention services to prevent community violence and victim services to assist with the physical, emotional and psychosocial healing of survivors and families. According to data from Acclivus, 80% of NMH patients who completed the needs assessment received referrals to community resources. Research on Hospital-Base Violence Intervention Programs over the past decade has demonstrated their effectiveness in significantly reducing re-injury, in many cases two- to seven-fold; reducing lives lost; and producing cost savings that can range from $80,000 to $4 million annually (in hospitals with a caseload of over 150 violently injured patients). Evaluation of Acclivus' hospital intervention demonstrated reductions nearing 50% in readmission for violent injury over three years post-injury, as compared with matched patients not receiving an intervention. Northwestern Medicine has a successful record of accomplishment of administration and implementation of five previous programs that address the needs of survivors of violence. In FY23 NMH hired a peer mentor community health coordinator who will supervise intensive case management from hospital response to enrollment and follow-up. The coordinator will also maintain and oversee relationships with community-based organizations working in violence prevention and intervention. Community Health Coordinator is collecting patient-level data about services obtained, injury recidivism, health outcomes, and social determinants of health inequity (both pre- and post-delivery of services) to understand how services mitigate violence and injury and improve health. Community Health Coordinator has linked its needs assessment data to NMH data, allowing for improved implementation of referral, needs assessment, and survivor services practices. Staff discuss confidentiality with patients and present consent forms if the patient is interested. Patients are given a resource folder containing a program brochure, crime victim resource sheet, trauma services information, PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) pamphlet, crime victims compensation information and application, and other information pertinent to patient needs. Staff address patients' immediate needs, including navigating services with the treatment team, contacting family, and more. They then begin building rapport with patients by using motivational interview skills, reflective listening skills, and open-ended questions. The approach is trauma-informed and person-centered. While staff do not push patients who aren't ready to discuss the incident, they recognize the importance of assessing for immediate safety risk of the patient and family. Other services offered include transportation to and from medical appointments related to the injury, social service appointments, and job interviews (there are limitations on transportation except for medical appointments) through a voucher program with Northwestern Medicine Community Affairs. Non-Priority Areas The CHNA identified areas of opportunity for health improvement for which NMNMH determined it would not prepare an implementation plan. These areas of opportunity and the reasons for not addressing are below. Age-Related Illness: This need is addressed through the hospital care delivery system.

NMHC shall, in accordance with Illinois Hospital Uninsured Patient Discount Act, provide Free Care and Discounted Care to Uninsured Patients. NMHC provides Free Care and Discounted Care to eligible Applicants who are uninsured through two methods: "uninsured sliding fee scale assistance "uninsured catastrophic assistance." If an Applicant qualifies under both methods, NMHC will apply the method that is most beneficial to the Applicant. Despite qualification under either method, if there is reason to believe that an Applicant may have assets in excess of 600% of the then current Federal Poverty Guideline applicable to the Applicant's Family Size and that are available to pay for medical services, NMHC may require the Applicant to provide information about such assets, and the Free Care Committee may consider those assets in deciding whether, and to what extent, to extend Free Care or Discounted Care. Free Care and Discounted Care shall be available for those Uninsured Patients who are Legal Illinois Residents. Non-Residents who are Uninsured Patients are not eligible for Free Care or Discounted Care. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no residency requirement for Uninsured Applicants receiving Emergency Services. NMHC provides Free Care and Discounted Care to eligible Insured Patients through two methods: "insured sliding fee scale assistance "insured catastrophic assistance." If the Applicant qualifies under both methods, NMHC will apply the method that is most beneficial to the Applicant. Despite qualification under either method, if there is reason to believe that an Applicant may have assets in amounts in excess of 600% of the then current Federal Poverty Guideline applicable to the Applicant's Family Size and that are available to pay for medical services, NMHC may require the Applicant to provide information about such assets, and may consider those assets in deciding whether, and to what extent, to extend Free Care or Discounted Care. Financial Assistance will only be applied to self-pay balances, after all third-party benefits/resources are reasonably exhausted, including, but not limited to, benefits from insurance carriers (e.g., health, home, auto liability, worker's compensation, or employer funded health reimbursement accounts), government programs (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid or other federal, state, or local programs), or proceeds from litigation, settlements, and/or private fundraising efforts (collectively, "Third-Party Funding Sources"). Patients receiving Financial Assistance and who require Medically Necessary care (other than Emergency Services) must, whenever possible, be screened for eligibility for Medicaid, Health Insurance Exchange, or other available payment programs and, if found eligible, the Patient must fully cooperate with enrollment requirements prior to the procedure being scheduled and/or services being rendered. Eligible Patients who fail or refuse to enroll in available Medicaid, Health Insurance Exchange, or other available payment programs may be ineligible for Financial Assistance. NMHC (or its agent), at its discretion, may assess a Patient's or Guarantor's Financial Assistance eligibility by means other than a completed Application. In such instances, eligibility determinations may include the use of information provided by credit reporting agencies, public records, or other objective and reasonably accurate means of assessing a Patient's or Guarantor's Program eligibility. If there is reason to believe that an Applicant may have assets in amounts in excess of 600% of the then current Federal Poverty Guideline applicable to the Applicant's Family Size and that are available to pay for medical services, NMHC may require the Applicant to provide information about such assets, and the Free Care Committee may consider those assets in deciding whether, and to what extent, to extend Free Care or Discounted Care. An uninsured Patient demonstrating eligibility under one or more of the following programs shall be deemed eligible for NMHC's Free and Discounted Care program and will not be required to provide additional supporting documentation for financial assistance: A. Homelessness; B. Deceased with no estate; C. Mental incapacitation with no one to act on the patient's behalf; D. Medicaid eligibility, but not on date of service for non-covered service; or E.

Receipt of grant assistance for medical services. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 15 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - NORTHWESTERN MEMORIAL HOSPITAL. NMHC's Financial Counseling Department is responsible for assisting Applicants applying for Financial Assistance prior to or during the course of treatment. Areas within NMHC handling billing inquiry, customer service, and self-pay follow-up shall assist Applicants after services have been provided. The determination of an Applicant's eligibility for Financial Assistance should be made as early as possible. In cases where the Patient is seeking services other than Emergency Services, determination shall be made prior to the scheduling and/or rendering of services, whenever possible. Pursuant to the Illinois Fair Patient Billing Act, Patients shall be instructed to apply for Financial Assistance within sixty (60) days after discharge or the receipt of outpatient care, whichever is longer, and NMHC shall not send bills to Uninsured Patients until such sixty (60) day period has passed. While NMHC may bill Patients after the sixty (60) day period, it shall, nevertheless, process Applications received at any time during the Application Period. The Application Period shall be the 240 day period provided by IRS guidance, starting from the date care is provided. Unless eligibility has been previously determined or unless otherwise provided within this policy, the Patient or Guarantor is required to complete an Application for Financial Assistance and provide supporting documentation, which provides, in accordance with law, information about the Applicant's financial position (including, as applicable, information about the Applicant's family) and other information which is necessary in making a determination of eligibility for Financial Assistance. The Application shall be available on a form provided by NMHC and consistent with the provisions of the Illinois Hospital Uninsured Patient Discount Act and other applicable law. Unless otherwise provided herein or in an appendix, Applications will only be accepted from individuals who have had a previously existing relationship with NMHC during the last 12 months or an upcoming appointment or admission. Patients shall complete one (1) Application which shall be recognized by all NMHC Affiliates. NMHC (or its agent), at its discretion, may assess a Patient's or Guarantor's Financial Assistance eligibility by means other than a completed Application. In such instances, eligibility determinations may include the use of information provided by credit reporting agencies, public records, or other objective and reasonably accurate means of assessing a Patient's or Guarantor's Program eligibility. The Financial Assistance application described the primary and supplementary information required of an individual to provide as part of his or her application.

The CHNA also describes the NMLFH CHNA goals and objectives, public dissemination plan, and development of the Implementation Plan. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 5 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - NORTHWESTERN LAKE FOREST HOSPITAL. The CHNA framework for this hospital facility consisted of a systematic, data-driven approach to determine the health status, behaviors and healthcare needs of residents in this community service area. The assessment provided information that allowed hospital leadership and key community partners to identify health issues of greatest concern among all residents and decide how best to commit the hospitals' resources to those areas, thereby achieving the greatest possible impact on the community's health status. The CHNA incorporated data from both quantitative and qualitative sources and included a community input survey, focus groups and key informant interviews. Prevalent needs were identified across all socioeconomic groups, races, ethnicities, ages and genders. The assessment highlighted health and socioeconomic disparities and needs that disproportionately impact the medically underserved and uninsured. To ensure that the community organizations impacting health in this hospital facility's community service area were meaningfully engaged in interpreting and prioritizing the identified needs, as well as the development of a collaborative plan to address priority needs, a Community Engagement Council was established. This multidisciplinary council consisted of Northwestern Medicine physicians, leaders and staff as well as key community partners who were selected based on strong collaborative efforts to improve the health of the community, including the medically underserved, minority and low-income populations.

Priority Need 1: Behavioral Health 1.1: Access: Improve access to behavioral health care services in Lake County by expanding capacity at Outpatient Behavioral Health Services and community-based organizations. Through the partnership, Northwestern Medicine Lake Forest Hospital (NMLFH) provided funding for operational capacity and continued to support implementation of the Behavioral Health Care Coordinator to create an immediate connection with patients being discharged from NMLFH settings and establishing care at The Josselyn Center. Through August 2023 more than 300 patients were referred for assessment and care. In addition, NMLFH provides grant funding to provide timely access and expand capacity for behavioral health services at Erie HealthReach Waukegan, a Federally Qualified Health Center, serving nearly 10,000 patients in Lake County. 1.2: Education: Expand behavioral health preventive and educational resources in collaboration with community organizations. We offered four Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Trainings through faith-based organizations and community partners. MHFA provides education about risk factors and warning signs for mental health and addiction concerns, strategies for how to help someone in both crisis and non-crisis situations, and where to turn for help. MHFA is an 8-hour training course and offered in-person with guided support. A total of 78 adults participated in MHFA throughout Lake County. Our Stress Management and Mindfulness programming provides education on stress and its effect on health, and teaches participants how to manage stress through exercise and lifestyle modification. Participants also learned about the benefits of Yoga, deep breathing and meditation exercise. Through our established partnership with Beacon Place in Waukegan, we were able to offer more than 20 hours of programming for 30 adults and 150 children. 1.3: Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Care: Identify and implement ways to improve cultural and linguistic appropriateness of programs. With feedback from our community partners, we were able to make changes to some of our education to make it more culturally competent for the audience we were serving. Changes were made to the content, recommendations and recipes that we were sharing. At every session within the community, there was an interpreter present, and an effort was always made to diversify our presenting staff. Improvements will continue to be made with feedback from the community. Priority Need 2: Employment and Youth Development 2.1: Youth Employment: Strengthen and develop youth pipeline and youth career development programs to promote careers in health care for students in communities experiencing economic hardship as identified by SERI. The NM Discovery Program is a local effort to expose students to careers in health care. Throughout the NM Discovery Program, high school sophomores and juniors are exposed to a broad range of activities designed to encourage their interest in healthcare careers. Topics vary by month and program activities included tours, guest speakers, group discussion, and hands-on projects. In addition, the program fosters character and professional development, cultivates life skills, provides community service and leadership experience, and offers mentorship and networking opportunities. Meetings are held once a month, on Saturday mornings, at Lake Forest Hospital and other off-site locations. In FY23, the NM Discovery Program hosted a cohort of 35 students for eight sessions. More than half of the students were from underserved school districts in Lake County. In addition to the year-long cohort, Northwestern Medicine Lake Forest Hospital (NMLFH) had nine interns placed at our NMLFH and Grayslake campuses in different operating units. The students had the chance to shadow with over 30 NMLFH staff members and participated in Lunch and Learns with teams throughout NMLFH and Grayslake. 2.2: Employment Readiness: Expand pathways to employment at Lake Forest Hospital for applicants who do not have a bachelor's degree. Northwestern Medicine Lake Forest Hospital (NMLFH) recruiting and professional development staff attended career fairs at Mano a Mano and College of Lake County to recruit members of the community into entry level positions. In efforts to continue to recruit applicants who do not have a bachelor's degree, positions are being evaluated to determine if changes can be made to education requirements. Our Youth Programming team and volunteers attended four career fairs at local high schools and Lake County Tech Campus and successfully recruited and retained individuals into entry level positions. 2.3: Employment Readiness: Support community organizations focused on employment readiness. Northwestern Medicine Lake Forest Hospital (NMLFH) established a partnership with North Chicago High School providing a placement for three students through their work study program for six months of the year. The students were on campus at NMLFH within our Supply Chain two days a week, three hours a day. During this time students worked side by side with an employee developing working skills. The students were at NMLFH from January through May 2023 and plan on returning with more students and placements in the following year. In April 2023, four Community Programming nurses partnered with College of Lake County Tech Campus to provide access to 1:1 Clinical Skills and Feedback through a Medical Assistant Team Challenge. This allowed students to gain hours toward their cumulative total of required hours to sit for state licensure. Priority Need 3: Nutrition, Physical Activity and Weight 3.1: Access: Promote access to nutrition education and food (including fresh produce) in collaboration with community organizations. Northwestern Medicine Lake Forest Hospital (NMLFH) provided referrals to local fresh food collaboratives using our SDOH screening tool which returned 154 requests for help locating food. 117 NowPow referrals were made to food pantries in the Lake County area. 3.2: Awareness: Support community efforts to promote physical fitness. In partnership with our Northwestern Medicine Lake Forest Hospital (NMLFH) Fitness Center and Beacon Place, we were able to bring a local mom's group to campus for a quarterly group fitness class. The mom's group received bands and learned about other household items they could use as weights or activities they could do at home for exercise with their family. The moms are predominantly Spanish speaking, so, each session was led by a Spanish speaking personal trainer who understood their culture and language. 3.3: Education: Increase consistency of chronic disease prevention education between Northwestern Medicine and community organizations. In FY23, a partnership between Community Affairs and the Family Medicine team was established to support their Community Medicine curriculum. Each year our Family Medicine Residency will now complete a needs assessment for an organization of their choice and work in a collaborative effort to provide education in the community based on their area of expertise. 3.4: Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Care: Identify and implement ways to improve cultural and linguistic appropriateness of nutrition, physical activity and weight programs. In FY23, NM continued to make significant progress in this strategy in improving access to care at NM, meeting our patients' diverse needs and improving overall equity for patients, the community and workforce. NM hosted five Equity Grand Rounds, averaging over 400 participants, partnered with newly established community engagement councils, and continued the Equity Key Initiatives.

Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 13 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - NORTHWESTERN LAKE FOREST HOSPITAL. NMHC shall, in accordance with Illinois Hospital Uninsured Patient Discount Act, provide Free Care and Discounted Care to Uninsured Patients. NMHC provides Free Care and Discounted Care to eligible Applicants who are uninsured through two methods: "uninsured sliding fee scale assistance "uninsured catastrophic assistance." If an Applicant qualifies under both methods, NMHC will apply the method that is most beneficial to the Applicant. Despite qualification under either method, if there is reason to believe that an Applicant may have assets in excess of 600% of the then current Federal Poverty Guideline applicable to the Applicant's Family Size and that are available to pay for medical services, NMHC may require the Applicant to provide information about such assets, and the Free Care Committee may consider those assets in deciding whether, and to what extent, to extend Free Care or Discounted Care. Free Care and Discounted Care shall be available for those Uninsured Patients who are Legal Illinois Residents. Non-Residents who are Uninsured Patients are not eligible for Free Care or Discounted Care. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no residency requirement for Uninsured Applicants receiving Emergency Services. NMHC provides Free Care and Discounted Care to eligible Insured Patients through two methods: "insured sliding fee scale assistance "insured catastrophic assistance." If the Applicant qualifies under both methods, NMHC will apply the method that is most beneficial to the Applicant. Despite qualification under either method, if there is reason to believe that an Applicant may have assets in amounts in excess of 600% of the then current Federal Poverty Guideline applicable to the Applicant's Family Size and that are available to pay for medical services, NMHC may require the Applicant to provide information about such assets, and may consider those assets in deciding whether, and to what extent, to extend Free Care or Discounted Care. Financial Assistance will only be applied to self-pay balances, after all third-party benefits/resources are reasonably exhausted, including, but not limited to, benefits from insurance carriers (e.g., health, home, auto liability, worker's compensation, or employer funded health reimbursement accounts), government programs (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid or other federal, state, or local programs), or proceeds from litigation, settlements, and/or private fundraising efforts (collectively, "Third-Party Funding Sources"). Patients receiving Financial Assistance and who require Medically Necessary care (other than Emergency Services) must, whenever possible, be screened for eligibility for Medicaid, Health Insurance Exchange, or other available payment programs and, if found eligible, the Patient must fully cooperate with enrollment requirements prior to the procedure being scheduled and/or services being rendered. Eligible Patients who fail or refuse to enroll in available Medicaid, Health Insurance Exchange, or other available payment programs may be ineligible for Financial Assistance. NMHC (or its agent), at its discretion, may assess a Patient's or Guarantor's Financial Assistance eligibility by means other than a completed Application. In such instances, eligibility determinations may include the use of information provided by credit reporting agencies, public records, or other objective and reasonably accurate means of assessing a Patient's or Guarantor's Program eligibility. If there is reason to believe that an Applicant may have assets in amounts in excess of 600% of the then current Federal Poverty Guideline applicable to the Applicant's Family Size and that are available to pay for medical services, NMHC may require the Applicant to provide information about such assets, and the Free Care Committee may consider those assets in deciding whether, and to what extent, to extend Free Care or Discounted Care. An uninsured Patient demonstrating eligibility under one or more of the following programs shall be deemed eligible for NMHC's Free and Discounted Care program and will not be required to provide additional supporting documentation for financial assistance: A. Homelessness; B. Deceased with no estate; C. Mental incapacitation with no one to act on the patient's behalf; D. Medicaid eligibility, but not on date of service for non-covered service; or E. Enrollment in the following assistance programs for low-income individuals having eligibility criteria at or below 200% of the federal poverty income guidelines: 1. Women, Infants and Children Nutrition Program (WIC); 2. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP); 3. Illinois Free Lunch and Breakfast Program; 4. Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP); 5. Enrollment in an organized community-based program providing access to medical care that assess and documents limited low income financial; or 6. Receipt of grant assistance for medical services. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 15 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - NORTHWESTERN LAKE FOREST HOSPITAL. NMHC's Financial Counseling Department is responsible for assisting Applicants applying for Financial Assistance prior to or during the course of treatment. Areas within NMHC handling billing inquiry, customer service, and self-pay follow-up shall assist Applicants after services have been provided. The determination of an Applicant's eligibility for Financial Assistance should be made as early as possible. In cases where the Patient is seeking services other than Emergency Services, determination shall be made prior to the scheduling and/or rendering of services, whenever possible. Pursuant to the Illinois Fair Patient Billing Act, Patients shall be instructed to apply for Financial Assistance within sixty (60) days after discharge or the receipt of outpatient care, whichever is longer, and NMHC shall not send bills to Uninsured Patients until such sixty (60) day period has passed. While NMHC may bill Patients after the sixty (60) day period, it shall, nevertheless, process Applications received at any time during the Application Period. The Application Period shall be the 240 day period provided by IRS guidance, starting from the date care is provided. Unless eligibility has been previously determined or unless otherwise provided within this policy, the Patient or Guarantor is required to complete an Application for Financial Assistance and provide supporting documentation, which provides, in accordance with law, information about the Applicant's financial position (including, as applicable, information about the Applicant's family) and other information which is necessary in making a determination of eligibility for Financial Assistance. The Application shall be available on a form provided by NMHC and consistent with the provisions of the Illinois Hospital Uninsured Patient Discount Act and other applicable law. Unless otherwise provided herein or in an appendix, Applications will only be accepted from individuals who have had a previously existing relationship with NMHC during the last 12 months or an upcoming appointment or admission. Patients shall complete one (1) Application which shall be recognized by all NMHC Affiliates. NMHC (or its agent), at its discretion, may assess a Patient's or Guarantor's Financial Assistance eligibility by means other than a completed Application. In such instances, eligibility determinations may include the use of information provided by credit reporting agencies, public records, or other objective and reasonably accurate means of assessing a Patient's or Guarantor's Program eligibility. The Financial Assistance application described the primary and supplementary information required of an individual to provide as part of his or her application. This was documented on the 'Financial Assistance Required Supporting Documents' page included with the Financial Assistance application. Contact information of hospital facility staff who can provide an individual with information about the Financial Assistance Policy and application process was also provided. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 3 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - CENTRAL DUPAGE HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION. The CHNA report also describes Central DuPage Hospital's CHNA goals and objectives, public dissemination plan, and the process for the development of the implementation plan. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 5 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - CENTRAL DUPAGE HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION. The CHNA framework for this hospital facility consisted of a systematic, data-driven approach to determine the health status, behaviors and healthcare needs of residents in this community service area. The assessment provided information that allowed hospital leadership and key community partners to identify health issues of greatest concern among all residents and decide how best to commit the hospitals' resources to those areas, thereby achieving the greatest possible impact on the community's health status. The CHNA incorporated data from both quantitative and qualitative sources and included a community input survey, focus groups and key informant interviews. Prevalent needs were identified across all socioeconomic groups, races, ethnicities, ages and genders. The assessment highlighted health and socioeconomic disparities and needs that disproportionately impact the medically underserved and uninsured. To ensure that the community organizations impacting health in this hospital facility's community service area were meaningfully engaged in interpreting and prioritizing the identified needs, as well as the development of a collaborative plan to address priority needs, a Community Engagement Council was established. This multidisciplinary council consisted of Northwestern Medicine physicians, leaders and staff as well as key community partners who were selected based on strong collaborative efforts to improve the health of the community, including the medically underserved, minority and low-income populations. Community organizations that generously gave their time and expertise to help guide the entire CHNA process are listed below.

In addition to providing the CHNA report on the website and making it available to the public upon request, the CHNA report was also distributed to Central DuPage Hospital Leadership. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - Central DuPage Hospital Association. Through the CHNA prioritization process, this hospital facility prioritized Significant Health Needs to address in accordance with IRS regulations. These needs will be referred to as Priority Health Needs throughout the remainder of the document. This hospital facility worked collaboratively to develop strategies and identify resources and areas for collaboration, where applicable, to impact each priority health need. Priority 1: Access to Healthcare Services 1.1: Community Engagement: Support efforts that increase access to healthcare services and community resources by investing in resources and collaborating with community-based organizations. During the past year, Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital provided staff time and resources to support efforts that increase access to healthcare services and community resources by participating in workgroup activities and supporting related initiatives. DuPage Health Coalition's, Access DuPage, provides affordable health services to DuPage County residents. Access DuPage is a collaborative made up of individuals and organizations to address both medical and non-medical needs. Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital provides staff support through Board of Directors representation and attendance at its regular operational meetings. DuPage Prevention Leadership coalition meets once a month to discuss data trends, local and governmental policies, trends within the community and schools, and collaborate with local community organizations to provide educational opportunities and support resource outreach. Collaborative work with the DuPage County Health Department and many other community partners on bringing awareness and education to those impacted by the Medicaid Redetermination. 1.2: Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) and Clinical Community Collaboration: Align with the system-level approach to better serve the uninsured and underinsured populations through clinical community relationships. Utilizing a third-party software, Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital, in collaboration with Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and Free and Charitable Clinics, can assess the number of patients that seek medical care in the Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital Emergency Department (ED) and In-Patient settings. During the time frame it was identified that there were 27 self-identified patients from Aunt Martha's that received care in the ED. Additionally, there were 3,635 self-identified patients from VNA that utilized Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital's ED. Two hundred nine VNA patients were admitted to Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital for In-Patient care. Having this information is helpful to ensure that our most vulnerable patients receive adequate and timely care. 1.3: Health Screenings: Support efforts that increase access to health screenings by investing in resources and collaborating with community-based organizations such as the Why Wait program. Unfortunately, the Why Wait program was discontinued during the reporting period. In lieu of the Why Wait program, Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital provided health education related to Breast Health through five community sessions with 33 attendees. 1.4: Community Benefit Donations and Grants: Provide funding through the Community Benefit donations and grants process to strategies and organizations that address access to healthcare services. Funding provided by Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital to Ronald McDonald House (RMH) provides a family-centered care approach, which centers on supporting and involving the family throughout a child's healthcare journey. Families stay at one of the Houses and experience a home-like environment and a community of other families going through similar journeys. RMH provides emotional support and respite during a time of medical crisis, while also relieving the financial burden placed on families traveling to receive treatment. Families that stay at RMH stay at no cost. Northeast DuPage Family and Youth Services (NDFYS) provides services across DuPage County, and 74% of their clients are under the age of 18. NM provided funding so NDFYS could expand their adolescent therapeutic program. By expanding their program, they will meet the demand of over 150 youth that are on a waitlist to be seen. Priority 2: Chronic Disease 2.1: Health Screenings: Provide no-cost biometric screenings and educational sessions to the community. Provide no-cost blood pressure screenings and education about cardiovascular disease. Offer strategies to help people eat healthier, maintain a healthy weight, and increase physical activity. During the year, there were nine blood pressure clinics offered and 97 individuals received blood pressure screenings and education. Of the individuals screened, 60.65% of the individuals were at considerable risk for hypertension. Individuals received education and information on seeking medical care with a primary care provider as a result of the screening. 2.2: Community Health and Wellness Programming: Promote health and reduce chronic disease through prevention, detection and addressing risk factors. Collaborate with early-childhood schools and child care centers to review polices and curricula and increase efforts that promote nutrition and moderate to vigorous physical activity. Coordinated Approach to Child Health (CATCH) was presented in 14 classrooms with over 318 students participating in education. As part of the program, students receive pre/post-tests related to "GO Foods and WHOA Foods" as part of their dietary habits, along with education on the importance of daily exercise. 2.3: Community Benefit Donations and Grants: Provide funding through the Community Benefit donations and grants process to strategies and organizations that address chronic disease. Northern Illinois Food Bank's direct distribution programs provide food for especially vulnerable populations of children and seniors, and those underserved by the food pantry network. Child Nutrition Programs provide meals to children who are at risk of hunger when school is not in session. The Senior Grocery Program delivers groceries directly to seniors' homes. Mobile Markets are hosted six days a week. My Pantry Express is an online food pantry that provides a quick, convenient distribution model for neighbors to access food. Rx Mobiles, Rx Markets and our Hospital-Based Food Pantry serve as interventions for chronic disease patients screened as food-insecure in collaboration with healthcare sites. Hamdard Health Alliance's current population health management program sees around 200 patients between our Rogers Park and DuPage sites. This program is run by a small team, and the demand for services has outpaced capacity. Hamdard was able to expand the program with the introduction of an additional Population Health Manager, as well as diagnostic equipment and remote monitoring equipment to increase care compliance and increase the percentage of patients with controlled hypertension and diabetes. Hamdard introduced point of care A1C testing at our Addison site. This measure increased patient education understanding and decreased the rate of uncontrolled A1C levels in Addison patients. Hamdard expanded this program to Rogers Park and Bensenville and included remote A1C monitoring. Priority 3: Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders 3.1: Community Engagement: Support mental health efforts by collaborating with community-based organizations. SamaraCare's Mental Health Access Program (MHAP) was created in 1971, in tandem with its mission, to advance behavioral health equity by providing affordable access to mental health care through fee subsidy assistance. The program utilizes a sliding fee scale, based on the Federal Poverty Guidelines, to discount their standard fees. The fee per visit is determined by the applicants' household income and size. The MHAP does not cover the entire cost of mental health services. Rather, it reduces the fee that the client is required to pay which can be as low as $5 per session for clients at the lowest income levels. Funding support by Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital was used to help this program. 3.2: Mental Health Training and Education: Educate the community on how to identify, understand and respond to the signs of mental illnesses and substance use disorders. Increase awareness of negative attitudes and beliefs around mental health. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 2 Facility , 2 - Central DuPage Hospital Association. Educated the public on negative attitudes and beliefs regarding behavioral health by increasing the proportion of DuPage County organizations to complete a Mental Health First Aid course to increase awareness and decrease stigma related to mental health. During the period, the number of sessions delivered were two classes for youth, with 17 participants and two classes for adults, with 60 participants. Naloxone, a medication approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is designed to rapidly reverse opioid overdose. During the past year, there were five events held in the Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital community service area focused on Naloxone education and administration. These events resulted in sixty-five individuals receiving this training. 3.3: Community Benefit Donations and Grants: Provide funding through the Community Benefit donations and grants process to strategies and organizations that address mental health and substance use disorders. Glen Ellyn Children's Resource Center (GECRC) offers out-of-school programming that empowers under-resourced K-12 students to meet state and local standards for academic and social emotional learning; involves students in activities that enrich learning; and connects families to schools and other resources necessary to support student success and well-being. Funding support from Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital included the purchase of an evidence-based curriculum, internal and/or external training for staff and volunteers, and additional staff time related to the initiative. The pandemic aggravated an existing mental health crisis for children/teens - even doubling symptoms of depression and anxiety for youth. It also widened mental health disparities, placing low-income youth and youth of color at even greater risk of negative outcomes. Priority 4: Social Determinants of Health 4.1: Community Benefit Donations and Grants: Provide funding through the Community Benefit donations and grants process to strategies and organizations that address SDOH. Families seek support from DuPage Habitat for Humanity for a variety of reasons - unpredictable rent increases, overcrowded living conditions, damaged or dilapidated structures, unsafe neighborhoods, or lack of access to land and affordable financing. When families partner with DuPage Habitat for Humanity, they start down a new path, one with far fewer barriers to a better, healthier, more financially stable life. Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital's funding support helped to assist in building twenty-seven new affordable housing units in Hanover Park. Loaves & Fishes aims to reduce hunger and improve health in the community by providing access to nutritious foods for families and individuals at risk of food insecurity. To fully address the needs of families facing hunger and food insecurity, Loaves & Fishes' Grocery assistance program focuses its efforts on four objectives: 1) nutrition policy, which encourages the sourcing of healthy food options and discourages the distribution of high-calorie/low-nutrient value foods; 2) encouraging a health-promoting nutrition environment that promotes healthy food choices; 3) meets the needs of special care populations, such as infants, children, seniors, and individuals with dietary restrictions; 4) provides public benefit and healthcare assistance that further supports the health needs of client families by connecting them to SNAP, WIC, healthcare, and other preventive healthcare services. Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital provided grant funding specifically to support the purchase of milk, eggs, and baby products for its clients. Non-Priority Areas The CHNA identified areas of opportunity for health improvement for which Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital determined it would not prepare an implementation plan. These areas of opportunity and the reasons for them not being addressed are below. Cancer: Although not individually called out as a priority, this need is being addressed through the Chronic Disease strategy. Coronavirus/COVID-19: This need is addressed through the Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital care delivery system. Diabetes: Although not individually called out as a priority, this need is being addressed through the Chronic Disease strategy. Heart disease and stroke: Although not individually called out as a priority, this need is being addressed through the Chronic Disease strategy. Injury and violence: This need is better addressed through external community agencies who provide services to address it. Nutrition, physical activity and weight: Although not individually called out as a priority, this need is being addressed through the Chronic Disease strategy. Potentially disabling conditions: This need is better addressed through external community agencies who provide services to address them. Tobacco use: Although not individually called out as a priority, this need is being addressed through the Chronic Disease strategy.

The CHNA report also describes the NMDH CHNA goals and objectives, public dissemination plan, and the process for the development of the implementation plan. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 5 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - DENOR-COMMUNITY HOSPITAL. The CHNA framework for this hospital facility consisted of a systematic, data-driven approach to determine the health status, behaviors and healthcare needs of residents in this community service area. The assessment provided information that allowed hospital leadership and key community partners to identify health issues of greatest concern among all residents and decide how best to commit the hospitals' resources to those areas, thereby achieving the greatest possible impact on the community's health status. The CHNA incorporated data from both quantitative and qualitative sources and included a community input survey, focus groups and key informant interviews. Prevalent needs were identified across all socioeconomic groups, races, ethnicities, ages and genders. The assessment highlighted health and socioeconomic disparities and needs that disproportionately impact the medically underserved and uninsured. To ensure that the community organizations impacting health in this hospital facility's community service area were meaningfully engaged in interpreting and prioritizing the identified needs, as well as the development of a collaborative plan to address priority needs, a Community Engagement Council was established. This multidisciplinary council consisted of Northwestern Medicine physicians, leaders and staff as well as key community partners who were selected based on strong collaborative efforts to improve the health of the community, including the medically underserved, minority and low-income populations. Community organizations that generously gave their time and expertise to help guide the entire CHNA process are listed below.

Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - DELNOR-COMMUNITY HOSPITAL. Through the CHNA prioritization process, this hospital facility prioritized Significant Health Needs to address in accordance with IRS regulations. These needs will be referred to as Priority Health Needs throughout the remainder of the document. This hospital facility worked collaboratively to develop strategies and identify resources and areas for collaboration, where applicable, to impact each priority health need. Priority 1: Access to Health Care and Community Resources 1.1: Community Engagement: Support efforts that increase access to healthcare services and community resources by investing in resources and collaborating with community-based organizations. During the past year, Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital provided staff time and resources to support efforts that increase access to healthcare services and community resources by participating in workgroup activities and supporting related initiatives. Kane County Health Department (KCHD) Access to Health Services Committee collaborated on streamlining resources for Transportation, Pharmacy/Medication, Medical Equipment and Dental. KCHD N.E.W. Action team focused on collaborating with Community Partners within our lower income areas (Elgin and Aurora) to provide Health and Resource Fairs. 1.2: Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) and Clinical Community Collaboration: Align with the system-level approach to better serve the uninsured and underinsured populations through clinical community relationships. Utilizing a third-party software, Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital, in collaboration with Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and Free and Charitable Clinics, can assess the number of patients that seek medical care in the Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital Emergency Department (ED) and In-Patient settings. During the time frame it was identified that there were 24 self-identified patients from Aunt Martha's that received care in the ED. Additionally, there were 2,757 self-identified patients from VNA that utilized Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital's ED. One hundred fifty-eight VNA patients were admitted to Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital for In-Patient care. Having this information is helpful to ensure that our most vulnerable patients receive adequate and timely care. 1.3: Community Benefit Donations and Grants: Provide funding through the Community Benefit donations and grants process to strategies and organizations that address access to healthcare services and community resources. Marklund Children's Home is one of only eight nonprofit organizations in the State of Illinois licensed to care for individuals with profound disabilities and special health care needs. Programming includes residential services, community day programming, medical care, and on-site therapeutic services. Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital's funding support was used to provide aqua therapy sessions to their clients. Each year, well over 1,000 client sessions are provided. The therapy program helps with sensory stimulation, increase in movement, and increases aerobic activity, benefiting cardiovascular health, muscle strength and bone density. Corbella Clinic provides a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive environment for area women and couples facing unexpected pregnancy. The Clinic's medical services are free of charge and include pregnancy testing, counseling, ultrasounds, and STI/STD testing and treatment. Professional registered nurses conduct all medical services under the authority of a Medical Director. Staff members provide resources and referral navigation for patients. Families may receive free diapers, formula, blankets, layettes, cribs, car seats and other baby items. The Clinic maintains strong partnerships with other community organizations so patients may receive the best care possible. Priority 2: Chronic Disease 2.1: Health Screenings: Provide no-cost biometric screenings and educational sessions to the community. Provide no-cost blood pressure screenings and education about cardiovascular disease. Offer strategies to help people eat healthier, maintain a healthy weight, and increase physical activity. Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital staff provided twelve blood pressure clinics which focused on cardiovascular disease prevention and education. During these clinics, there were 126 participants. Of those participants, 57.8 percent were considered considerable risk and received education and were encouraged to follow up with their primary care provider. 2.2: Community Health and Wellness Programming: Promote health and reduce chronic disease through prevention, detection and addressing risk factors. Collaborate with early-childhood schools and child care centers to review polices and curricula and increase efforts that promote nutrition and moderate to vigorous physical activity. Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital staff taught Coordinated Approach to Child Health (CATCH) in seven classrooms over the school year to 146 students. As part of the program, students receive pre/post-tests related to "GO Foods and WHOA Foods" as part of their dietary habits, along with education on the importance of daily exercise. 2.3: Community Benefit Donations and Grants: Provide funding through the Community Benefit donations and grants process to strategies and organizations that address chronic disease. Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital provided funding through the NM Community Benefit donations and grants process to support organizations that address chronic disease. The mission of Fox Valley Food for Health (FVFFH) is to promote nutrition programs focused on serving those struggling with a health crisis. The focus of the programs is nutrition education, chronic disease prevention and caring support. The mission of Marklund is to make everyday life possible for individuals with profound disabilities. The focus of their aquatic therapy program is to increase individual overall cardiovascular strength, muscle strength, and bone density for their clients. Well Child Center's mission is to provide education, counseling and services in nutrition and dental health to families receiving WIC services. Their oral health care program will provide oral health care to pregnant women, ensuring a healthier pregnancy and delivering of healthy and full-term babies. Priority 3: Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders 3.1: Community Engagement: Support mental health efforts by collaborating with community-based organizations. Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital partners with Kane County Health Department on an education and distribution program to prevent overdose deaths. Naloxone, a medication approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is designed to rapidly reverse opioid overdose. During the past year, there were twenty-eight events held in the Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital community service area focused on Naloxone education and administration. These events resulted in four hundred eighty-two individuals receiving this training. 3.2: Mental Health Training and Education: Educate the community on how to identify, understand and respond to the signs of mental illnesses and substance use disorders. Increase awareness of negative attitudes and beliefs around mental health. Educated the public on negative attitudes and beliefs regarding behavioral health by increasing the proportion of Kane County organizations to complete a Mental Health First Aid course to increase awareness and decrease stigma related to mental health. During the time period, the number of sessions delivered was two adult classes with 29 participants. 3.3: Community Benefit Donations and Grants: Provide funding through the Community Benefit donations and grants process to strategies and organizations that address mental health and substance use disorders. Kayla's Hope Foundation was founded in 2018 by the Lehmann family in memory of their daughter and sister, Kayla Brooke Lehmann. The main mission of Kayla's Hope is to help remove the stigma of mental health issues while assisting those who struggle, and offering hope to those who need it. Funds donated to Kayla's hope help off-set expenses for individuals that seek mental health counseling. Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital provided a donation to this organization to help in its efforts. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 2 Facility , 2 - DELNOR-COMMUNITY HOSPITAL. Ecker is the leading provider of behavioral health services in the community and offers an array of services that include: 24-hour emergency crisis, psychiatry, nursing, Medicated Assisted Treatment (MAT), crisis residential, case management, psychosocial rehabilitation, supervised and supportive residential, community support teams, therapy, substance use and gambling disorder treatment, substance misuse prevention, HIV and other sexually transmitted disease prevention. Funding in part by Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital helped to support nearly 4,500 individuals. Priority 4: Social Determinants of Health 4.1: Community Benefit Donations and Grants: Provide funding through the Community Benefit donations and grants process to strategies and organizations that address SDOH. Aurora Interfaith Food Pantry's mission is to ensure that everyone has access to enough nourishing food. They are one of the largest food pantries in Northern Illinois, and though the Northern Illinois Food Bank (NIFB) can typically provide what they need, due to a significant demand from the community members, the NIFB can no longer keep up with the extra demand. To ensure their food pantry does not have to turn anyone away, they implemented a Recovery and Distribution Program. They asked Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital to financially support them as they hired full-time drivers that pick up donated groceries from local bakeries, grocery stores, and various other locations, five days a week, every week. Food for Greater Elgin's (FFGE) mission is to provide food security and access to community resources to stabilize lives. Along with all the other food pantries, FFGE also saw a significant increase in community members needing their food pantry services. To meet that demand, they requested funding from Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital so they could purchase sufficient healthy foods and triple their freezer and cooler space. Non-Priority Areas The CHNA identified areas of opportunity for health improvement for which Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital determined it would not prepare an implementation plan. These areas of opportunity and the reasons for them not being addressed are below. Education: This need is better addressed through external community agencies who provide these services. Environment: This need is better addressed through external community agencies who provide services to address this. Exercise, nutrition and weight: Although not individually called out as a priority, this need is being addressed through the Chronic Disease strategy. Immunizations and infectious diseases: This need was assessed by the community as a low priority as measured by the Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital prioritization tool. Maternal, fetal, and infant health: This need was assessed by the community as a low priority as measured by the Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital prioritization tool. Older adults and aging: This need was assessed by the community as a low priority as measured by the Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital prioritization tool. Other chronic diseases (defined as osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and chronic kidney disease): This need was assessed by the community as a low priority as measured by the Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital prioritization tool. Public safety: This need is better addressed through external community agencies who provide services to address this. Teen and adolescent health: This need was assessed by the community as a low priority as measured by the Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital prioritization tool. Transportation: This need is better addressed through external community agencies who provide these services.

NMHC shall, in accordance with Illinois Hospital Uninsured Patient Discount Act, provide Free Care and Discounted Care to Uninsured Patients. NMHC provides Free Care and Discounted Care to eligible Applicants who are uninsured through two methods: "uninsured sliding fee scale assistance "uninsured catastrophic assistance." If an Applicant qualifies under both methods, NMHC will apply the method that is most beneficial to the Applicant. Despite qualification under either method, if there is reason to believe that an Applicant may have assets in excess of 600% of the then current Federal Poverty Guideline applicable to the Applicant's Family Size and that are available to pay for medical services, NMHC may require the Applicant to provide information about such assets, and the Free Care Committee may consider those assets in deciding whether, and to what extent, to extend Free Care or Discounted Care. Free Care and Discounted Care shall be available for those Uninsured Patients who are Legal Illinois Residents. Non-Residents who are Uninsured Patients are not eligible for Free Care or Discounted Care. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no residency requirement for Uninsured Applicants receiving Emergency Services. NMHC provides Free Care and Discounted Care to eligible Insured Patients through two methods: "insured sliding fee scale assistance "insured catastrophic assistance." If the Applicant qualifies under both methods, NMHC will apply the method that is most beneficial to the Applicant. Despite qualification under either method, if there is reason to believe that an Applicant may have assets in amounts in excess of 600% of the then current Federal Poverty Guideline applicable to the Applicant's Family Size and that are available to pay for medical services, NMHC may require the Applicant to provide information about such assets, and may consider those assets in deciding whether, and to what extent, to extend Free Care or Discounted Care. Financial Assistance will only be applied to self-pay balances, after all third-party benefits/resources are reasonably exhausted, including, but not limited to, benefits from insurance carriers (e.g., health, home, auto liability, worker's compensation, or employer funded health reimbursement accounts), government programs (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid or other federal, state, or local programs), or proceeds from litigation, settlements, and/or private fundraising efforts (collectively, "Third-Party Funding Sources"). Patients receiving Financial Assistance and who require Medically Necessary care (other than Emergency Services) must, whenever possible, be screened for eligibility for Medicaid, Health Insurance Exchange, or other available payment programs and, if found eligible, the Patient must fully cooperate with enrollment requirements prior to the procedure being scheduled and/or services being rendered. Eligible Patients who fail or refuse to enroll in available Medicaid, Health Insurance Exchange, or other available payment programs may be ineligible for Financial Assistance. NMHC (or its agent), at its discretion, may assess a Patient's or Guarantor's Financial Assistance eligibility by means other than a completed Application. In such instances, eligibility determinations may include the use of information provided by credit reporting agencies, public records, or other objective and reasonably accurate means of assessing a Patient's or Guarantor's Program eligibility. If there is reason to believe that an Applicant may have assets in amounts in excess of 600% of the then current Federal Poverty Guideline applicable to the Applicant's Family Size and that are available to pay for medical services, NMHC may require the Applicant to provide information about such assets, and the Free Care Committee may consider those assets in deciding whether, and to what extent, to extend Free Care or Discounted Care. An uninsured Patient demonstrating eligibility under one or more of the following programs shall be deemed eligible for NMHC's Free and Discounted Care program and will not be required to provide additional supporting documentation for financial assistance: A. Homelessness; B. Deceased with no estate; C. Mental incapacitation with no one to act on the patient's behalf; D. Medicaid eligibility, but not on date of service for non-covered service; or E. Enrollment in the following assistance programs for low-income individuals having eligibility criteria at or below 200% of the federal poverty income guidelines: 1. Women, Infants and Children Nutrition Program (WIC); 2. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP); 3. Illinois Free Lunch and Breakfast Program; 4. Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP); 5. Enrollment in an organized community-based program providing access to medical care that assess and documents limited low income financial; or 6. Receipt of grant assistance for medical services. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 15 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - KISHWAUKEE COMMUNITY HOSPITAL. NMHC's Financial Counseling Department is responsible for assisting Applicants applying for Financial Assistance prior to or during the course of treatment. Areas within NMHC handling billing inquiry, customer service, and self-pay follow-up shall assist Applicants after services have been provided. The determination of an Applicant's eligibility for Financial Assistance should be made as early as possible. In cases where the Patient is seeking services other than Emergency Services, determination shall be made prior to the scheduling and/or rendering of services, whenever possible. Pursuant to the Illinois Fair Patient Billing Act, Patients shall be instructed to apply for Financial Assistance within sixty (60) days after discharge or the receipt of outpatient care, whichever is longer, and NMHC shall not send bills to Uninsured Patients until such sixty (60) day period has passed. While NMHC may bill Patients after the sixty (60) day period, it shall, nevertheless, process Applications received at any time during the Application Period. The Application Period shall be the 240 day period provided by IRS guidance, starting from the date care is provided. Unless eligibility has been previously determined or unless otherwise provided within this policy, the Patient or Guarantor is required to complete an Application for Financial Assistance and provide supporting documentation, which provides, in accordance with law, information about the Applicant's financial position (including, as applicable, information about the Applicant's family) and other information which is necessary in making a determination of eligibility for Financial Assistance. The Application shall be available on a form provided by NMHC and consistent with the provisions of the Illinois Hospital Uninsured Patient Discount Act and other applicable law. Unless otherwise provided herein or in an appendix, Applications will only be accepted from individuals who have had a previously existing relationship with NMHC during the last 12 months or an upcoming appointment or admission. Patients shall complete one (1) Application which shall be recognized by all NMHC Affiliates. NMHC (or its agent), at its discretion, may assess a Patient's or Guarantor's Financial Assistance eligibility by means other than a completed Application. In such instances, eligibility determinations may include the use of information provided by credit reporting agencies, public records, or other objective and reasonably accurate means of assessing a Patient's or Guarantor's Program eligibility. The Financial Assistance application described the primary and supplementary information required of an individual to provide as part of his or her application. This was documented on the 'Financial Assistance Required Supporting Documents' page included with the Financial Assistance application. Contact information of hospital facility staff who can provide an individual with information about the Financial Assistance Policy and application process was also provided. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 3 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - VALLEY WEST HOSPITAL. The CHNA report also describes Valley West Hospital background, charity care, the mission, CHNA goals and objectives, public dissemination plan, and development of the Implementation Plan. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 5 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - VALLEY WEST HOSPITAL. The CHNA framework for this hospital facility consisted of a systematic, data-driven approach to determine the health status, behaviors and healthcare needs of residents in this community service area. The assessment provided information that allowed hospital leadership and key community partners to identify health issues of greatest concern among all residents and decide how best to commit the hospitals' resources to those areas, thereby achieving the greatest possible impact on the community's health status. The CHNA incorporated data from both quantitative and qualitative sources and included a community input survey, focus groups and key informant interviews. Prevalent needs were identified across all socioeconomic groups, races, ethnicities, ages and genders. The assessment highlighted health and socioeconomic disparities and needs that disproportionately impact the medically underserved and uninsured. To ensure that the community organizations impacting health in this hospital facility's community service area were meaningfully engaged in interpreting and prioritizing the identified needs, as well as the development of a collaborative plan to address priority needs, a Community Engagement Council was established. This multidisciplinary council consisted of Northwestern Medicine physicians, leaders and staff as well as key community partners who were selected based on strong collaborative efforts to improve the health of the community, including the medically underserved, minority and low-income populations. Community organizations that generously gave their time and expertise to help guide the entire CHNA process are listed below.

SPECIFIC NEEDS AND CONCERNS OF VALLEY WEST HOSPITAL WERE IDENTIFIED AND ADDRESSED SEPARATELY. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 6b Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - VALLEY WEST HOSPITAL. VALLEY WEST HOSPITAL PARTNERED WITH HCI. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 7 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - VALLEY WEST HOSPITAL. In addition to providing the CHNA report on the website and making it available to the public upon request, the CHNA report was also distributed to Northwestern Medicine Valley West Hospital Leadership. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - NORTHWESTERN MEDICINE VALLEY WEST HOSPITAL. Through the CHNA prioritization process, this hospital facility prioritized Significant Health Needs to address in accordance with IRS regulations. These needs will be referred to as Priority Health Needs throughout the remainder of the document. This hospital facility worked collaboratively to develop strategies and identify resources and areas for collaboration, where applicable, to impact each priority health need. Priority 1: Access to Health Care and Community Resources 1.1: Community Engagement: Support efforts that increase access to healthcare services and community resources by investing in resources and collaborating with community-based organizations. Northwestern Medicine Valley West Hospital has a strong commitment to engagement through its efforts to support organizations improving the community's overall health. We partner with community organizations that provide access to nutritious food, shelter, and other essentials to help build stronger and healthier communities. Northwestern Medicine Valley West Hospital supported efforts that increase access to healthcare services and community resources by investing in and collaborating with community-based organizations. Fox Valley YMCA expanded its support to members by offsetting membership fees for individuals unable to pay the full fee to participate in its programs and services. Additionally, funding support contributed to staff education to provide classes and programs focused on chronic disease prevention for adults. With this support, Fox Valley YMCA was able to focus efforts on chronic disease prevention. Fox Valley YMCA reported that during this time, they recorded an increase in participants over last year, with an increase of 13 percent attendance and repeat visits increased by five percent. 1.2: Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) and Clinical Community Collaboration: Align with the system-level approach to better serve the uninsured and underinsured populations through clinical community relationships. Utilizing a third-party software, Northwestern Medicine Valley West Hospital, in collaboration with Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and Free and Charitable Clinics, can assess the number of patients that seek medical care in the Northwestern Medicine Valley West Hospital Emergency Department (ED) and In-Patient settings. During the time frame, it was identified that there were 12 self-identified patients from Aunt Martha's that received care in the ED. Additionally, there were 499 self-identified patients from VNA that utilized Northwestern Medicine Valley West Hospital's ED. One VNA patient was admitted to Northwestern Medicine Valley West Hospital for In-Patient care. Having this information is helpful to ensure that our most vulnerable patients receive adequate and timely care. 1.3: Health Screenings: Support efforts to increase access to health screenings by investing in resources and collaborating with community-based organizations such as the Women Matter program. The Women Matter Program is designed to provide mammography screening services at no cost to appropriate women that do not have insurance coverage in DeKalb County. While the number is low, there has been an increase in the number of women participating in the Illinois Breast Cervical Cancer program offered through the health department. Breast Health education provides information on breast cancer risk factors, current screening guidelines and what you can do to reduce your risk. Comprehensive review of program content was completed in CY2023, and revisions were made to the evaluation to capture appropriate information on knowledge gained. Educational initiatives focusing on prevention and age-appropriate screening have been implemented. Six educational programs were provided in the community in CY2023, with 47 total participants. Post-program evaluations were completed to measure outcomes and increase in knowledge. There was a 36% increase in overall knowledge on the information presented at the completion of the program. 1.4: Community Benefit Donations and Grants: Provide funding through the Community Benefit donations and grants process to strategies and organizations that address access to healthcare services and community resources. Fox Valley Community Services is a service agency in existence since 1972. Their mission is to assist seniors to remain in their own home; improve and enrich vital, independent living; enhance dignity and self-respect; and encourage participation in community life. The facility is open for public use and currently accommodates the Multiple Sclerosis Support Group, Alzheimer's Disease Support Group and Adult Day Services (ADS). The ADS program is staffed by a registered nurse and nurses' aides to provide client care and respite to caregivers. Priority 2: Chronic Disease 2.1: Health Screenings: Provide no-cost biometric screenings and educational sessions to the community. Provide no-cost blood pressure screenings and education about cardiovascular disease. Offer strategies to help people eat healthier, maintain a healthy weight, and increase physical activity. Community-focused blood pressure screenings provide a simple and effective way to identify individuals with elevated blood pressures, provide necessary education, and motivate individuals to seek follow up care. Northwestern Medicine Valley West Hospital provided a clinic at UNC Shabbona, with twenty-four attendees; with twelve attendees considered to be considerable risk, based on the screening. A clinic was also held at St. Paul Parish, Sandwich, with 11 attendees; with four attendees considered to be considerable risk, based on the screening. 2.2: Leishman Center for Culinary Health: Expand access to educational and behavioral modification programs (such as healthy diet and cooking programs) to reduce the risk of chronic disease. Leishman Center for Culinary Health, an innovative teaching kitchen, promotes healthy living through food. Culinary instructors and registered dietitians offer a range of demonstrations and classes, aimed at lowering the risks associated with chronic disease. During this time, Leishman Center offered 213 classes, in both virtual and in-person settings. Topics included Heart Healthy Dinners, Cooking with Five Ingredients or Less, Vegetarian One Pan Meals, and many more. 2.3: Community Benefit Donations and Grants: Provide funding through the Community Benefit donations and grants process to strategies and organizations that address chronic disease. Established in 2012, DeKalb County Community Gardens was established to end hunger and food insecurity in DeKalb County by empowering residents to choose healthy and sustainable foods through education and participation. Funding provided by Northwestern Medicine Valley West Hospital supported the garden located on its Sandwich campus. At this location, community residents were encouraged to participate in planting and harvesting the garden. The garden produced over one-thousand pounds of produce, which was shared with the community. In addition to the produce, participants in the program received education and healthy recipes and learned how to cook and store produce. Priority 3: Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders 3.1: Mental Health Training and Education: Educate the community on how to identify, understand and respond to the signs of mental illnesses and substance use disorders. Increase awareness of negative attitudes and beliefs around mental health. Educated the public on negative attitudes and beliefs regarding behavioral health by increasing the proportion of DeKalb County organizations to complete a Mental Health First Aid course to increase awareness and decrease stigma related to mental health. During the time period, one session was delivered, with 16 participants. Naloxone, a medication approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is designed to rapidly reverse opioid overdose. During the past year, there were two events held in the Northwestern Medicine Valley West Hospital community service area focused on Naloxone education and administration. These two events resulted in over thirty individuals receiving this training. 3.2: Drug Education and Safety Services: Raise awareness and educate the community about the potential for abuse of medications while providing a safe, convenient, and responsible way of disposing of prescription drugs. Northwestern Medicine Valley West Hospital participated in the drug take back programs during the year. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 2 Facility , 2 - NORTHWESTERN MEDICINE VALLEY WEST HOSPITAL. Working in partnership with the following local law enforcement offices: DeKalb Police Department, DeKalb County Sheriff's Office, Kingston Police Department, Sandwich Police Department and Sycamore Police Department to decrease the opportunity for diversion of non-prescribed prescription drugs and opioids. Forty-one pounds of unwanted, unused, or expired medication was disposed of in the Northwestern Medicine Valley West Hospital community service area during the event. 3.3: Community Benefit Donations and Grants: Provide funding through the Community Benefit donations and grants process to strategies and organizations that address mental health or substance use disorders. Northwestern Medicine Valley West Hospital partnered with Northwestern Medicine Behavioral Health Services to provide a calm and safe environment in which guests can resolve crises without intensive intervention. At The Living Room, visitors can speak with a trained peer recovery support specialist. There is no cost and no appointment needed for this service, and it is available to any DeKalb County resident aged 18 or older. This program resulted in 967 visits to the Living Room with 429 unique clients. Priority 4: Older Adults and Aging 4.1: Community Benefit Donations and Grants: Provide funding through the Community Benefit donations and grants process to strategies and organizations that address the needs of older adults and aging. Fox Valley Community Services' mission is to assist seniors to remain in their own home; improve and enrich vital, independent living; enhance dignity and self-respect; and encourage participation in community life. Funding provided by Northwestern Medicine Valley West Hospital supported older adults through education and training to the staff, specifically focused on Certified Dementia Practitioners credentialing. As a result of this training, the Adult Day Service program was restructured to utilize new research methods and create an environment that is conducive to clients with Alzheimer's Disease and other dementia related illnesses. The Adult Day Service program is a safe alternative for care, during times that otherwise could put their family members at risk of being left home alone. The program is a source of nutrition, transportation, exercise, and overall support site for the senior population. The site provides, on average, support to twenty seniors each week. Non-Priority Areas The CHNA report identified areas of opportunity for health improvement for which Northwestern Medicine Valley West Hospital determined it would not prepare an implementation plan. These identified areas and the reason for not addressing are listed below: Cancer: Although not individually called out as a priority, this need is being addressed through the Chronic Disease strategy. Environment: This need is better addressed through external community agencies who provide services to address this. Exercise, nutrition and weight: Although not individually called out as a priority, this need is being addressed through the Chronic Disease strategy. Immunizations and infectious disease: This need was assessed by the community as a low priority as measured by the Northwestern Medicine Valley West Hospital prioritization tool. Other chronic diseases (defined as chronic pain, autoimmune diseases, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and chronic kidney disease): This need was assessed by the community as a low priority as measured by the Northwestern Medicine Valley West Hospital prioritization tool. Public Safety: This need is better addressed through external community agencies who provide services to address this. Transportation: This need is better addressed through external community agencies who provide these services. Women's Health: This need was assessed by the community as a low priority as measured by the Northwestern Medicine Valley West Hospital prioritization tool.

Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - MARIANJOY REHABILITATION HOSPITAL. Through the CHNA prioritization process, this hospital facility prioritized Significant Health Needs to address in accordance with IRS regulations. These needs will be referred to as Priority Health Needs throughout the remainder of the document. This hospital facility worked collaboratively to develop strategies and identify resources and areas for collaboration, where applicable, to impact each priority health need. Priority 1: Access to Health Care and Community Resources 1.1: Community Engagement: Support efforts that increase access to healthcare services and community resources by investing in resources and collaborating with community-based organizations. Northwestern Medicine Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital (MRH) contacted several community organizations to learn more about services provided, share knowledge, and support access to health care issues. These organizations include, but are not limited to, DuPage Health Coalition, Center for Speech and Language Disorder, Easterseals of DuPage and Fox Valley, Ray Graham Association for People with Disabilities, and Spectrios Institute for Low Vision. As part of this outreach effort, the Center for Speech of Language Disorder was granted funds to expand their speech and language therapy services for children in under-resourced communities. With these funds, more families will be able to access these therapies for their children. For MRH to further understand the organizational profiles of key community organizations and the demographic profile of who they serve, a partnership database was developed. Relevant information was used to determine the Community Partner Focus (including disability of all ages, seniors and/or veterans with limited mobility and/or Neuro issues/stroke, or clients that are considered low income, under-resourced, uninsured or underinsured), and to determine necessary resources based on the partner's profile (such as support groups, injury prevention programs, classes, MRH Rehab Fitness Centers, and the Aphasia Center). The Tier Model is based on the Community Partner Focus matched with NM resources and facilitated through community collaborations. 1.2: Outpatient Transportation: Provide transportation services for outpatients in need of medical or therapy appointments, utilizing non-emergency transportation resources. During this time period, outpatient transportation has not been implemented. The costs associated with this strategy are extremely high and finding a sustainable option beyond philanthropy support has been challenging. Another challenge has been that many of the patients needing transportation have limited mobility, thus narrowing the options for transportation companies such as Lyft and Uber who both have limited availability of vehicles that can accommodate persons in wheelchairs. Priority 2: Promoting Independence and Activity 2.1: MRH Fitness Center: Provide access to classes and training at MRH Fitness Center that focus on increasing independence and activity. The Emerging Fitness Center at Northwestern Medicine Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital provides a place where people of all fitness and ability levels can exercise. Members can have their exercises modified based on their needs. Group exercise classes, personal training, and therapy-related classes for children with developmental disabilities are accessible to members. Through a planned approach to increase awareness of the Fitness Center, efforts were taken to identify community organizations that focus on outreach to those in disability, chronic disease/movement disorder, and senior communities. As a result of those efforts, a community partnership list was developed, and the next steps will be to engage those partners. Additionally, there was a planned approach to identify opportunities to track the impact on individual participants. During this time period, a SMART Goals dashboard was designed, but due to unforeseen staffing challenges, the implementation of the Dashboard was placed on hold and will be launched next year. 2.2: Safe Drivers Education: Provide community education for teenagers and older adults on safe driving. The Northwestern Medicine Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital Driver Rehabilitation program has specially trained occupational therapists that assess participants with disabilities or health issues that hinder safe driving. The Safe Driver program helps participants understand their challenges and identify and implement solutions to help them drive safely. Northwestern Medicine Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital's Safer Driver education team identified and provided a new evaluation to 296 teens and adults. 2.3: Aphasia Center: Provide services and interactions among individuals with communication disorders (aphasia). Support families and caregivers as part of outreach efforts. The Northwestern Medicine Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital Aphasia Center is designed for people experiencing aphasia who would like to improve their communication skills. A speech-language pathologist with expertise in language disorders leads small group sessions. Within this time period, 87 unique clients were seen, and 659 registrations were collected. Priority 3: Promoting Wellness and Preventing Disease 3.1: Community Programming: Offer evidence-based community health and wellness programming for chronic disease management, rehabilitation, and overcoming the limitations of chronic disabilities. Northwestern Medicine Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital strives to promote and reduce chronic disease through community outreach and education. Efforts included offering programs to community organizations focused on healthy eating. These programs are offered virtually through the Leishman Center for Culinary Health and Northwestern Medicine Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital offered 205 classes, where 2,063 participants in the area participated. 3.2: Support Programs: Offer evidence-based support programs, including but not limited to self-help and support groups. Northwestern Medicine Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital provides support and resource groups at no cost, and they are open to caregivers and family members. Groups that Northwestern Medicine Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital extended support program offerings to include: Lives in Motion (Spinal Injury Cord) Support Group, Teen and Young Adult Brain Injury Support Group, Stroke Support Group, MS Support Group, ALS Support Group, and High Hopes (Adult Brain Injury) Support Group. Many groups have continued to meet virtually, but others have begun to move back to in-person, or they have adopted a hybrid model of virtual and in-person. 3.3: Injury Prevention: Offer injury prevention programming, including child passenger safety interventions. Implement programming with content provided by the ThinkFirst National Injury Prevention Foundation. During the time period indicated, The ThinkFirst team held 183 school presentations and reached 8,281 participants. The Injury Prevention team reached 6,342 participants in Community Events, donated 931 helmets, checked 227 car seats and donated 161 car seats. Priority 4: Social Determinants of Health 4.1: NM Disability Employee Resource Group: Leverage the NM Disability Employee Resource Group to promote NM employment opportunities to people with disabilities. Northwestern Medicine and the NM Champion Network Disability Chapter promote a workplace environment that fosters a culture of inclusion and focuses on disability cultural responsiveness. Through collaboration between the NM Champion Network Disability Chapter, NM Talent Acquisition, and NM Human Resources, opportunities are underway to identify a planned approach towards increasing awareness of NM employment through targeted outreach. The goal of this collaboration is to increase the number of people with disabilities who work at NM. 4.2: Pipeline Programs: Evaluate and determine the role of MRH in job preparedness programs (such as NM Project Search) that can be implemented for young adults and adults with disabilities. At Project SEARCH the goal for each program participant (intern) is competitive employment by providing real-life work experience combined with training in employability and independent-living skills. During the FY23 period, 11 students received training and all gained employment after their school year. Non-Priority Areas The CHNA identified areas of opportunity for health improvement for which Northwestern Medicine Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital determined it would not prepare an implementation plan. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 2 Facility , 2 - Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital. These areas of opportunity and the reasons for them not being addressed are below. Cancer: Although not individually called out as a priority, this need is being addressed through the Promoting Wellness and Preventing Disease strategy.

Oral health: This need is better addressed by community organizations specializing in this field. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 13 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital. NMHC shall, in accordance with Illinois Hospital Uninsured Patient Discount Act, provide Free Care and Discounted Care to Uninsured Patients. NMHC provides Free Care and Discounted Care to eligible Applicants who are uninsured through two methods: "uninsured sliding fee scale assistance "uninsured catastrophic assistance." If an Applicant qualifies under both methods, NMHC will apply the method that is most beneficial to the Applicant. Despite qualification under either method, if there is reason to believe that an Applicant may have assets in excess of 600% of the then current Federal Poverty Guideline applicable to the Applicant's Family Size and that are available to pay for medical services, NMHC may require the Applicant to provide information about such assets, and the Free Care Committee may consider those assets in deciding whether, and to what extent, to extend Free Care or Discounted Care. Free Care and Discounted Care shall be available for those Uninsured Patients who are Legal Illinois Residents. Non-Residents who are Uninsured Patients are not eligible for Free Care or Discounted Care. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no residency requirement for Uninsured Applicants receiving Emergency Services. NMHC provides Free Care and Discounted Care to eligible Insured Patients through two methods: "insured sliding fee scale assistance "insured catastrophic assistance." If the Applicant qualifies under both methods, NMHC will apply the method that is most beneficial to the Applicant. Despite qualification under either method, if there is reason to believe that an Applicant may have assets in amounts in excess of 600% of the then current Federal Poverty Guideline applicable to the Applicant's Family Size and that are available to pay for medical services, NMHC may require the Applicant to provide information about such assets, and may consider those assets in deciding whether, and to what extent, to extend Free Care or Discounted Care. Financial Assistance will only be applied to self-pay balances, after all third-party benefits/resources are reasonably exhausted, including, but not limited to, benefits from insurance carriers (e.g., health, home, auto liability, worker's compensation, or employer funded health reimbursement accounts), government programs (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid or other federal, state, or local programs), or proceeds from litigation, settlements, and/or private fundraising efforts (collectively, "Third-Party Funding Sources"). Patients receiving Financial Assistance and who require Medically Necessary care (other than Emergency Services) must, whenever possible, be screened for eligibility for Medicaid, Health Insurance Exchange, or other available payment programs and, if found eligible, the Patient must fully cooperate with enrollment requirements prior to the procedure being scheduled and/or services being rendered. Eligible Patients who fail or refuse to enroll in available Medicaid, Health Insurance Exchange, or other available payment programs may be ineligible for Financial Assistance. NMHC (or its agent), at its discretion, may assess a Patient's or Guarantor's Financial Assistance eligibility by means other than a completed Application. In such instances, eligibility determinations may include the use of information provided by credit reporting agencies, public records, or other objective and reasonably accurate means of assessing a Patient's or Guarantor's Program eligibility. If there is reason to believe that an Applicant may have assets in amounts in excess of 600% of the then current Federal Poverty Guideline applicable to the Applicant's Family Size and that are available to pay for medical services, NMHC may require the Applicant to provide information about such assets, and the Free Care Committee may consider those assets in deciding whether, and to what extent, to extend Free Care or Discounted Care. An uninsured Patient demonstrating eligibility under one or more of the following programs shall be deemed eligible for NMHC's Free and Discounted Care program and will not be required to provide additional supporting documentation for financial assistance: A. Homelessness; B. Deceased with no estate; C. Mental incapacitation with no one to act on the patient's behalf; D. Medicaid eligibility, but not on date of service for non-covered service; or E. Enrollment in the following assistance programs for low-income individuals having eligibility criteria at or below 200% of the federal poverty income guidelines: 1. Women, Infants and Children Nutrition Program (WIC); 2. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP); 3. Illinois Free Lunch and Breakfast Program; 4. Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP); 5. Enrollment in an organized community-based program providing access to medical care that assess and documents limited low income financial; or 6. Receipt of grant assistance for medical services. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 15 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - MARIANJOY REHABILIATION HOSPITAL. NMHC's Financial Counseling Department is responsible for assisting Applicants applying for Financial Assistance prior to or during the course of treatment. Areas within NMHC handling billing inquiry, customer service, and self-pay follow-up shall assist Applicants after services have been provided. The determination of an Applicant's eligibility for Financial Assistance should be made as early as possible. In cases where the Patient is seeking services other than Emergency Services, determination shall be made prior to the scheduling and/or rendering of services, whenever possible. Pursuant to the Illinois Fair Patient Billing Act, Patients shall be instructed to apply for Financial Assistance within sixty (60) days after discharge or the receipt of outpatient care, whichever is longer, and NMHC shall not send bills to Uninsured Patients until such sixty (60) day period has passed. While NMHC may bill Patients after the sixty (60) day period, it shall, nevertheless, process Applications received at any time during the Application Period. The Application Period shall be the 240 day period provided by IRS guidance, starting from the date care is provided. Unless eligibility has been previously determined or unless otherwise provided within this policy, the Patient or Guarantor is required to complete an Application for Financial Assistance and provide supporting documentation, which provides, in accordance with law, information about the Applicant's financial position (including, as applicable, information about the Applicant's family) and other information which is necessary in making a determination of eligibility for Financial Assistance. The Application shall be available on a form provided by NMHC and consistent with the provisions of the Illinois Hospital Uninsured Patient Discount Act and other applicable law. Unless otherwise provided herein or in an appendix, Applications will only be accepted from individuals who have had a previously existing relationship with NMHC during the last 12 months or an upcoming appointment or admission. Patients shall complete one (1) Application which shall be recognized by all NMHC Affiliates. NMHC (or its agent), at its discretion, may assess a Patient's or Guarantor's Financial Assistance eligibility by means other than a completed Application. In such instances, eligibility determinations may include the use of information provided by credit reporting agencies, public records, or other objective and reasonably accurate means of assessing a Patient's or Guarantor's Program eligibility. The Financial Assistance application described the primary and supplementary information required of an individual to provide as part of his or her application. This was documented on the 'Financial Assistance Required Supporting Documents' page included with the Financial Assistance application. Contact information of hospital facility staff who can provide an individual with information about the Financial Assistance Policy and application process was also provided. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 3 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - NORTHERN ILLINOIS MEDICAL CENTER. The CHNA report also describes NIMC's CHNA goals, objectives, public dissemination plan, and development of the implementation plan. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 5 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - NORTHERN ILLINOIS MEDICAL CENTER. The CHNA framework for this hospital facility consisted of a systematic, data-driven approach to determine the health status, behaviors and healthcare needs of residents in this community service area. The assessment provided information that allowed hospital leadership and key community partners to identify health issues of greatest concern among all residents and decide how best to commit the hospitals' resources to those areas, thereby achieving the greatest possible impact on the community's health status. The CHNA incorporated data from both quantitative and qualitative sources and included a community input survey, focus groups and key informant interviews. Prevalent needs were identified across all socioeconomic groups, races, ethnicities, ages and genders. The assessment highlighted health and socioeconomic disparities and needs that disproportionately impact the medically underserved and uninsured. To ensure that the community organizations impacting health in this hospital facility's community service area were meaningfully engaged in interpreting and prioritizing the identified needs, as well as the development of a collaborative plan to address priority needs, a Community Engagement Council was established. This multidisciplinary council consisted of Northwestern Medicine physicians, leaders and staff as well as key community partners who were selected based on strong collaborative efforts to improve the health of the community, including the medically underserved, minority and low-income populations. Community organizations that generously gave their time and expertise to help guide the entire CHNA process are listed below. Aunt Martha's Crystal Lake Elementary District 47 Schools Crystal Lake Food Pantry Family Health Partnership Clinic Harvard Community School District 50 Harvard Senior Center/Cultivating Health Ministries Home of the Sparrow Huntley Community School District 158 Independence Health & Therapy Leadership Greater McHenry County Live 4 Lali McHenry County College McHenry County Department of Health McHenry County Housing Authority McHenry County Mental Health Board NAMI McHenry County New Directions Northern Illinois Recovery Center Pioneer Center for Human Services Senior Care Volunteer Network Senior Service Associates Stages of Transformation Thresholds Turning Point United Way of Greater McHenry County Through this process, input was gathered from several individuals whose organizations work with low-income, minority, or other medically underserved populations. In the online survey, key informants were asked to rate the degree to which various health issues are a problem in their own community. Follow-up questions asked them to describe why they identify problem areas as such and how these might better be addressed.

Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 6b Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - NORTHERN ILLINOIS MEDICAL CENTER. The CHNA was conducted with McHenry County Department of Health and McHenry County Mental Health Board. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 7 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - NORTHERN ILLINOIS MEDICAL CENTER. In addition to providing the CHNA report on the website and making it available to the public upon request, the CHNA report was also shared with the following: 1. Key community organizations 2. Northwestern Medicine Leadership Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - NORTHERN ILLINOIS MEDICAL CENTER. Through the CHNA prioritization process, this hospital facility prioritized Significant Health Needs to address in accordance with IRS regulations. These needs will be referred to as Priority Health Needs throughout the remainder of the document. This hospital facility worked collaboratively to develop strategies and identify resources and areas for collaboration, where applicable, to impact each priority health need. Priority Need 1: Access to Healthcare 1.1: NMMH, NMHH and NMWH will adapt a health system-level approach to better serve uninsured and underinsured patients through clinical community relationships. NMMH, NMHH and NMWH will pilot new opportunities and enhance current relationships in the service area. NMMH, NMHH and NMWH have established relationships with Aunt Martha's, a Federally Qualified Health Center, and with Family Health Partnership Clinic, a Free and Charitable Health Clinic. Through these relationships, patients who have received care at Northwestern Medicine (NM) facilities in McHenry County can receive primary and preventive services at these local clinical sites. NM supports these partnerships through regular communication, as well as through financial and in-kind support. 1.2: The Regional Medical Group (RMG) Residency Clinic will expand with Rosalind Franklin University to increase access to follow-up care for patients who are discharged from NMMH, NMHH and NMWH. Providing access to care, especially for patients discharged from hospital emergency departments and from inpatient stay, is essential to coordinating care and optimizing health of patients recovering from injury or illness. This is acutely important for patients who do not have an established relationship with a primary care provider. Adequate capacity among physicians accepting patients regardless of ability to pay is needed to ensure that follow up appointments can be provided in a timely manner and primary care relationships are established. NM currently partners with Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science (RFU) to address this need in McHenry County. Residents are licensed physicians who graduated from medical school with a degree of Medical Doctor (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathy (DO). Residents have met all the requirements to continue their graduate medical training in order to become board certified physicians. Residents work with an attending NM physician to provide care to patients seeking follow up care post discharge from the hospital and/or to those that are in need of a primary care provider, regardless of insurance status. In FY23, the Regional Medical Group (RMG) Residency Clinic continued to grow access, providing 874 new patient visits, and grew the number of patients with established primary care providers by more than 14% to 1,541 patients. 1.3: NMMH, NMHH and NMWH will provide information sessions on healthy weight and nutrition through community lectures and programs. Nearly 35% of McHenry County residents were identified as obese in the most recently conducted CHNA. NMMH, NMHH and NMWH have implemented a number of strategies to improve understanding of diet, and provide motivation to lose weight, including the New Dimension weight loss challenge program. This program offers an individualized action plan for success, and focuses on each dimension of health (emotional, environmental, intellectual, occupation, physical, social, spiritual, and financial) to provide a comprehensive approach to change and goal attainment. It has helped individuals lose weight and embrace healthy habits for more than 30 years. In FY23, 577 individuals participated in 26 healthy weight and nutrition programs. 16 participants began the New Dimension program, with a total of 9 completing the program. The program was only offered in Q2, which was the reason for a 65% decrease in participation from the year prior. In addition, NM began offering healthy cooking classes virtually through the Leishman Center for Culinary Health, a facility to educate participants on choosing healthy living through food. Located at Northwestern Medicine Kishwaukee Hospital, the Leishman Center offers a variety of natural, plant-based cooking classes designed to promote a healthier lifestyle through better food choices. Many of the classes are directed toward clinical conditions that can be improved with healthier eating, including reducing obesity, managing diabetes and hypertension. These are offered free of charge to the public. In FY23, 819 residents of McHenry County signed up to participate, of which 206 registrations were for health condition-specific classes. 1.4: NMMH, NMHH and NMWH will provide information and education on diabetes through community lectures and screenings and diabetes support groups. The McHenry County Healthy Community Study showed that 53% of McHenry County residents have not had a blood sugar test in the past three years. The study also showed that 11.8% of McHenry County residents have been diagnosed with diabetes. Through screenings conducted at various settings throughout the community, 1,143 people had glucose finger sticks and education on diabetes in FY23. Managing diabetes for one's self or helping a loved one manage diabetes can be complex and overwhelming. To help those living with diabetes, NM grew the number of support groups from 11 to 15 in McHenry County in FY23. The number of attendees grew by 37% from the prior year. NM also provided grant funding to Cultivating Health Ministries, a program housed under the Harvard Community Senior Center, for operational support of their diabetes and hypertension education and screening program delivered through faith-based organizations. 1.5: NMMH, NMHH and NMWH will provide information on cardiovascular disease and hypertension through community lectures, screenings and individual training. Cardiovascular disease is the third leading cause of death in the United States and is the second leading cause of death in McHenry County. Fortunately, deaths from cardiovascular disease are preventable, especially if intervention is provided across the lifespan of the disease-from early education, prevention and screening to early diagnosis, prompt treatment and comprehensive aftercare. NMHH, NMMH and NMWH provided 3,750 blood pressure screenings to members of the community. Participants who were found to be at high risk based on their blood pressure reading were referred to their primary care provider for follow-up, or if not aligned with a primary care provider, were referred to a community health care provider. Northwestern Medicine also provided grant funding to Cultivating Health Ministries, a program housed under the Harvard Community Senior Center, for operational support of their diabetes and hypertension education and screening program delivered through faith-based organizations. Through the use of a resource called the Framingham Risk Assessment Tool, Northwestern Medicine has been able to share information with community partners to help predict the risk of having a heart attack or dying from heart disease. This Heart Age Tool is for anyone age 30 and older who does not have known heart disease. Environmental factors, stress diet and genetics can speed up or slow down how the heart ages. When it comes to heart health, your heart age may be more important than your actual age. Risk factors included in the tool are age, history of cigarette smoking, blood pressure, presence of diabetes and body mass index (BMI). Points are assigned based on each factor. The Heart Age Tool has been shared with the McHenry County Department of Health for distribution during community events and screenings. Priority Need 2: Behavioral Health 2.1: NMMH, NMHH and NMWH will address and integrate trauma-informed care into practice, including providing employee resources for coping with trauma or vicarious trauma. Trauma does not discriminate. It can affect anyone, and nearly 70% of the population reports experiencing some type of trauma in their lifetime. Whether the trauma results from a single event, a series of events, or a set of physically or emotionally harmful circumstances, it can have serious implications on well-being, social functioning, physical and mental health, and life expectancy. In addition, the more an individual is exposed to stressful or traumatic experiences, the greater the risk for chronic health conditions. Trauma-informed care acknowledges that understanding a patient's life experiences is key to delivering effective care and improving health outcomes. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 2 Facility , 2 - Northern Illinois Medical Center. Trauma informed care is the open-mindedness and compassion that all patients deserve, because anyone can have a history that affects their encounter with the health system. Additionally, trauma-informed care raises sensitivity to trauma that may be part of a caregiver's background. Northwestern Medicine provided funding to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Dundee Township to support their STEM growth mindset program, which provides socio-emotional learning through the lens of trauma-informed care. 2.2: NMMH, NMHH and NMWH will improve access to mental health resources through patient care programs, support groups and community lectures. NMMH, NMHH and NMWH will promote behavioral health partnerships with high-quality community-based organizations and providers. Mental health is essential to personal well-being, family and interpersonal relationships, and the ability to contribute to community or society. Mental disorders are health conditions that are characterized by alterations in thinking, mood, and/or behavior that are associated with distress and/or impaired functioning. Mental illness is the term that refers collectively to all diagnosable mental disorders. The resulting disease burden of mental illness is among the highest of all diseases. Mental health and physical health are closely connected. Mental health plays a major role in people's ability to maintain good physical health. Mental illnesses, such as depression and anxiety, affect people's ability to participate in health-promoting behaviors. (Source: Healthy People 2020) NMMH, NMHH and NMWH provide the following programs to address mental behavioral health issues in respective service areas: Psychiatric Emergency Services provides assessment, disposition, and referral for patients presenting to the Emergency Departments within the Northwest Region. Referrals include service levels ranging from outpatient programming all the way up through behavioral health inpatient programming. During the last year, psychiatric behavioral health services experienced a total of 2,636 referrals in the following populations: 427 Individuals aged 0-17, 753 individuals aged 18-29, 745 individuals aged 30-44, 556 individuals 45-64, 112 individuals aged 65-74, and 43 individuals age 75+. Partial Hospital and Intensive Outpatient Hospital Programming provides outpatient level services to patients that do not meet criteria for an inpatient stay, but need increased support to prevent the next level of treatment or as a step down from an inpatient level of care. This program offers a variety of services to address mental health and substance use disorders. During the last year, the program provided these services to a total of 220 individuals, including 74 individuals aged 18-29, 73 individuals aged 30-44, 53 individuals aged 45-64, 14 individuals aged 65-74 and 6 individuals aged 75+. The Behavioral Health Unit provides a safe, intensive level of care for patients that are not able to maintain their safety in the community. Through the use of evidence-based therapies, psychiatric and nursing interventions and groups, patients are stabilized to transition to a lower level of care. During the last year, the program provided these services to a total of 1,072 individuals, including 1 individual aged 0-17, 346 individuals aged 18-29, 344 individuals aged 30-44, 315 individuals aged 45-64, 50 individuals aged 65-74 and 16 individuals aged 75+. Our Behavioral Health Community Navigator (BHCN) links our patients seen in all three areas to long-term services that are appropriate to their needs and fills in gaps between internal services provided to successful linkages in the community. Total referrals for the BHCN were 888. NMMH, NMHH and NMWH provided funding to several organizations to improve access to behavioral care in the community. Funding was provided to the Rosecrance Foundation to increase support for patients needing mental health and/or substance use disorder. Through this partnership, Rosecrance was able to pursue expansion of Spanish-speaking services, therapeutic recreation, and medication assisted therapies. NMMH, NMHH and NMWH also provided operational support to Independence Health & Therapy to improve access to counseling programs and Turning Point to support a mental health counseling program for survivors of domestic violence. 2.3: NMMH, NMHH and NMWH will improve access to substance use treatment resources through patient care programs, support groups and community lectures. NMMH, NMHH and NMWH will promote behavioral health and substance use partnerships with high-quality community-based organizations and providers. Substance use disorder refers to a set of related conditions associated with the consumption of mind-and behavior-altering substances that have negative behavioral and health outcomes. Social attitudes and political and legal responses to the consumption of alcohol and illicit drugs make substance use disorder one of the most complex public health issues. Improved evaluation of community-level prevention has enhanced researchers' understanding of environmental and social factors that contribute to the initiation and misuse of alcohol and illicit drugs, leading to a more sophisticated understanding of how to implement evidence-based strategies in specific social and cultural settings. (Source: Healthy People 2020) NMMH, NMHH and NMWH provided support, educational and training and programs to address substance abuse in it service areas through the support of a Substance Use nurse who: Serves as the chair of the Substance Abuse Coalition Education Committee This committee is creating education for the community around substance use, effects of substances, consequences and laws, addiction information, vaping, and resources to a variety of audiences including middle-school aged children, high school aged adolescents, parents and other community members. The nurse also attends the McHenry County Substance Abuse Coalition meetings to interface with other substance use resources in the county and to participate in community awareness focused events. Participates in action planning for community overdose alerts, and substance use disorder community event planning. Participates on the McHenry Suicide Prevention Task Force. NMMH, NMHH and NMWH provided funding to several organizations to improve access to substance use disorder services in the community. In addition to funding for the Rosecrance Foundation, grant funding was provided to New Directions Addiction Recovery Services to support expansion of their peer recovery substance use disorder treatment program. Priority 3: Social Determinants of Health 3.1: NMMH, NMHH and NMWH will implement an electronic tool that is integrated with NM's electronic medical record (EMR) system to capture SDOH for patients, train staff members and advocates to screen and use SDOH data, and refer patients to appropriate services to address SDOH. NMMH, NMHH and NMWH will partner with community-based organizations that are able to screen individuals for SDOH. Health starts in our homes, schools, workplaces, neighborhoods and communities. Taking care of ourselves by eating well, staying active and making regular visits to the doctor influence our health. Our health is also determined in part by access to social and economic opportunities, community resources, quality education, workplace safety and environmental factors. The condition in which we live explain, in part, why some are healthier than others. Disparities in community conditions, including income, poverty, employability, food access and housing have been identified as health concerns in McHenry County. A NM system-wide approach was developed around assessing and collecting SDOH on patients in order to treat the whole patient. Patients who screen positive for a SDOH are offered assistance, and when accepted, are referred to community-based agencies and organizations that can provide assistance with SDOH. In FY23, a total of 24,923 SDOH screens were conducted at NM facilities in McHenry County. Of these, 3,476 (14%) screened positive for one or more SDOH and 1,666 (6.7%) requested assistance. The most frequently cited concern was having a medical home (1,653 patients). A total of 752 patients expressed concerns about transportation, 538 about mental health, 620 about medication affordability, and 376 about safe housing. 338 patients expressed concern about food or money. 3.2: NMMH, NMHH and NMWH will increase youth pipeline opportunities by introducing students to healthcare-related careers through presentations and internship experiences. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 3 Facility , 3 - Northern Illinois Medical Center. NMMH, NMHH and NMWH will create hiring pipelines for youth and adults in hardship communities to connect to jobs through training programs, targeted outreach and partnerships, and inclusive, local hiring practices. NM will work with internal and external stakeholders and community partners to advocate for reduced barriers to educational attainment and for support to fill workforce gaps. Project SEARCH The Project SEARCH Transition-to-Work Program is a unique, business-led, one-year employment preparation program for individuals with developmental disabilities, which takes place entirely at the workplace. Total workplace immersion facilitates a seamless combination of classroom instruction, career exploration, and hands-on training through worksite rotations. The program culminates in individualized job development. The goal for each program participant is competitive employment. To reach that goal, the program provides real-life work experience combined with training in employability and independent-living skills to help young people with significant disabilities make successful transitions to productive adult life. The Project SEARCH model involves an extensive period of skills training and career exploration, innovative adaptations, long-term job coaching, and continuous feedback from teachers, skills trainers, and employers. As a result, at the completion of the training program, students with significant intellectual disabilities are employed in complex and rewarding jobs. In addition, the presence of a Project SEARCH program can bring about long-term changes in business culture that have far-reaching positive effects on attitudes about hiring people with disabilities and the range of jobs in which they can be successful. The Project SEARCH program graduated seven participants in FY23, and Northwestern Medicine hired two individuals. Discovery Program & Summer Internships The NM Discovery Program creates a pathway for the next generation of NM leaders by drawing on the talents of our incredible team of health care professionals to provide STEM career exposure. Throughout the Program, students are exposed to a broad range of health care careers through activities including tours, guest speakers, group discussion, and hands-on projects. In addition, the program fosters character and professional development, cultivates life skills, provides community service and leadership experience, and offers mentorship and networking opportunities. The Discovery Program Northwest Chapter is open to high school students who meet the below eligibility criteria. Meetings are held once a month at NMHH. 30 students participated in the program in FY23, with 28 completing the entire year. Of these, six were from low-income backgrounds. In FY23, the Northwest Chapter completed its second year of the NM Discovery Summer Internship program. Through a competitive application process, four students were chosen to participate for the paid experience at NMHH, and were given rotations through seven different departments. They also participated in lunch and learn sessions with local leaders to learn about careers and potential pathways. Youth Medical Residency In partnership with McHenry High School and Huntley High School, the Youth Medical Residency Program provides high school students in the fourth year of their respective health sciences track with the opportunity to gain an authentic experience by shadowing medical professionals in numerous healthcare settings. The program follows a blended format that allows students the flexibility to substitute time typically spent in the classroom with time at NM healthcare facilities. During the first month of the school year, students spend time in the classroom completing orientation and learning prerequisite knowledge and skills before rotations begin. Students then typically schedule and attend one two-hour rotation per week. There are about 21 medical rotations in total ranging from Cath Lab to Wound Care. Independent time and in-class time are spent researching in preparation for rotations, reflecting on learning experiences, and deepening understanding of the science behind various procedures and technologies observed. 3.3: NMMH, NMHH and NMWH will establish a diversity and inclusion infrastructure with partnerships across the organization to promote, support, and activate inclusive strategy, culture and behavior that differentiates NM as an inclusive values-driven organization. The NM Diversity and Inclusion program seeks to embed Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) practices and behaviors into what employees do each day. This will foster engagement, mitigate bias, engender a day-to-day sense of belonging in the workplace, and create an internal environment that reflects the communities we serve. In FY23, 4,403 employees and 796 leaders from across NM participated in DEI training programs. DemonstratingNM's appreciation of diverse talents at all levels of the organization, we also supported anetwork of five workforce-led resource groups in FY23 that together formed the NM Champion Network. Each of the five chapters is comprised of individuals that either identify as members or are allies of historically underrepresented communities. The chapters are African Descendants, Asian American & Pacific Islander, Disability, Latinx and LGBTQ. The groups are employee-led, and discuss workforce enhancements at NM, develop activities, awareness events, community outreach, support cultural responsiveness education opportunities, and participate in a variety of other approaches to promote diversity, equity and inclusionand engender a sense of community and belonging at NM. More than 1,800 Northwestern Medicine employees participate in Champion Networks. 3.4: NMMH, NMHH and NMWH will foster collaborations with community-based organizations. Individuals interacting with these agencies will be screened for income-based programs or food insecurity and, when positively identified, will receive vouchers to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables at area farmers' markets. NMMH, NMHH and NMWH have established relationships with local food pantries, food distribution partners and other local support systems to help residents of McHenry County who are subject to food insecurity. In addition to referring patients who screen positive for food insecurity to area food sources, NMMH, NMHH and NMWH also provide grant funding to regional food banks and organizations that facilitate delivery of food. In FY23, NM provided $75,000 to Northern Illinois Food Bank and $16,000 to the United Way of Greater McHenry County to support their work in delivering groceries to individuals and households that could not access food pantries due to physical/mobility or transportation limitations. To further improve access to food, NM organized monthly mobile food pantries in Harvard which provided fresh food to 649 families with 2,489 individuals. 3.5 NMMH, NMHH and NMWH will foster collaborations with community-based organizations that address housing instability. Housing instability encompasses a number of challenges such as trouble paying rent, overcrowding, moving frequently, staying with relatives, or spending of household income on housing expenses. Households are considered cost burdened if they spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing and severely burdened if they spend more than 50 percent of their income on housing. Cost-burdened households have little left over each month to spend on other necessities, such as food, clothing, utilities and health care. NMMH, NMHH and NMWH provided donations to local organizations that are regularly engaged in supporting individuals facing housing instability, including $10,000 to Home of the Sparrow, $8,000 to Habitat for Humanity, and $2,000 for Refuge for Women in FY23. Non-Priority Areas The CHNA identified areas of opportunity for health improvement for which NMMH, NMHH, and NMWH determined it would not prepare an implementation plan. These areas of opportunity and the reasons for not addressing are below. Arthritis: This need is addressed through the hospital care delivery system. Asthma: This need is addressed through the hospital care delivery system. Caregiver Support: This need was assessed by the community as a lower priority and is better addressed by community organizations specializing in this field. E-Cigarette and Tobacco Use: This need was assessed by the community as a lower priority and is addressed through the hospital care delivery system. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 4 Facility , 4 - Northern Illinois Medical Center. Transportation: This need was assessed by the community as a lower priority and is addressed through the hospital care delivery system along with other community organizations. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 13 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - NORTHERN ILLINOIS MEDICAL CENTER. NMHC shall, in accordance with Illinois Hospital Uninsured Patient Discount Act, provide Free Care and Discounted Care to Uninsured Patients. NMHC provides Free Care and Discounted Care to eligible Applicants who are uninsured or underinsured. Those who do not qualify for free care will receive a sliding scale discount off the gross charges for their medically necessary services based on their family income as a percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines. These patients are expected to pay their remaining balance for care, and may work with financial counselors to set up a payment plan based on their financial situation. Patients seeking assistance may first be asked to apply for other external programs (such as Medicaid or insurance through the public marketplace) as appropriate before eligibility under this policy is determined. Additionally, any uninsured patients who are believed to have the financial ability to purchase health insurance may be encouraged to do so to help ensure healthcare accessibility and overall well-being. NMHC will not bill patients who have been deemed eligible for financial assistance coverage for eligible care or services, including care or services that are emergent or medically necessary, more than the amounts generally billed to insured patients. Patients who are uninsured or underinsured and have a household income at or below the thresholds per Federal Poverty Guidelines will receive full or partial discount off their balance. The policy is updated on an annual basis to represent the most current federal poverty guideline levels and the appropriate sliding scale for full and partial discounts. To be considered eligible for financial assistance, patients may be required to cooperate with NMHC to explore alternative means of assistance if necessary, including Medicare and Medicaid. Patients will be required to provide necessary information and documentation when applying for hospital financial assistance or other private or public payment programs. NMHC may seek to determine eligibility for financial assistance prior to rendering non-emergent services. In certain non-emergent circumstances it may be necessary to provide care or evaluation to the patient before eligibility can be determined. When determining patients' eligibility, NMHC does not take into account race, gender, age, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, national origin or social or immigrant status. An uninsured Patient demonstrating eligibility under one or more of the following programs shall be deemed eligible for NMHC's Free and Discounted Care program and will not be required to provide additional supporting documentation for financial assistance: A. Presumptive Homelessness; B. Presumptive Mental incapacitation with no one to act on the patient's behalf; C. Presumptive Scoring when NMHC can utilize publically available information as well as internal payment and documentation history to determine if a patient is eligible for presumptive financial assistance without completion of an application. D. Presumptive Deceased with no estate; E. Presumptive State Program: Enrollment in the following assistance programs for low-income individuals having eligibility criteria at or below 200% of the federal poverty income guidelines: 1. Women, Infants and Children Nutrition Program (WIC); 2. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP); 3. Illinois Free Lunch and Breakfast Program; 4. Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP); 5. Enrollment in an organized community-based program providing access to medical care that assess and documents limited low income financial; or 6. Receipt of grant assistance for medical services. F. Presumptive Out of State Program for patients who are eligible for out of state programs based on FPG where NMHC does not participate; G. Additional Presumptive Criteria may also be recommended, including the following: 1. Recent Personal Bankruptcy; 2. Incarceration; 3. Affiliation with a religious order which includes a vow of poverty; 4. Enrollment in temporary assistance for needy families (TANF); or 5. Enrollment in IHDA's Rental Housing Support Program. NMHC also partners with third-parties and other eligibility vendors, to help identify patients who may be eligible for financial assistance, presumptive financial assistance under this policy or through other public and private programs including identifying other sources of third party payment, i.e. health insurance coverage. NMHC may also use previous financial assistance eligibility determinations as a basis for determining eligibility in the event that the patient does not provide sufficient documentation to support an eligibility determination. Financial assistance applications on file at NMHC may be used for a time period of up to six months after the date of submission. All patients presumptively determined to be eligible for less than the most generous amount of assistance available under this policy (free care) will be informed about how the discount amount was calculated and given a reasonable amount of time to submit an application for further financial assistance. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 15 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - NORTHERN ILLINOIS MEDICAL CENTER. NMHC's Financial Counseling Department is responsible for assisting Applicants applying for Financial Assistance prior to or during the course of treatment. Areas within NMHC handling billing inquiry, customer service, and self-pay follow-up shall assist Applicants after services have been provided. The determination of an Applicant's eligibility for Financial Assistance should be made as early as possible. In cases where the Patient is seeking services other than Emergency Services, determination shall be made prior to the scheduling and/or rendering of services, whenever possible. Pursuant to the Illinois Fair Patient Billing Act, Patients shall be instructed to apply for Financial Assistance within sixty (60) days after discharge or the receipt of outpatient care, whichever is longer, and NMHC shall not send bills to Uninsured Patients until such sixty (60) day period has passed. While NMHC may bill Patients after the sixty (60) day period, it shall, nevertheless, process Applications received at any time during the Application Period. The Application Period shall be the 240 day period provided by IRS guidance, starting from the date care is provided. Unless eligibility has been previously determined or unless otherwise provided within this policy, the Patient or Guarantor is required to complete an Application for Financial Assistance and provide supporting documentation, which provides, in accordance with law, information about the Applicant's financial position (including, as applicable, information about the Applicant's family) and other information which is necessary in making a determination of eligibility for Financial Assistance. The Application shall be available on a form provided by NMHC and consistent with the provisions of the Illinois Hospital Uninsured Patient Discount Act and other applicable law. Unless otherwise provided herein or in an appendix, Applications will only be accepted from individuals who have had a previously existing relationship with NMHC during the last 12 months or an upcoming appointment or admission. Patients shall complete one (1) Application which shall be recognized by all NMHC Affiliates. NMHC (or its agent), at its discretion, may assess a Patient's or Guarantor's Financial Assistance eligibility by means other than a completed Application. In such instances, eligibility determinations may include the use of information provided by credit reporting agencies, public records, or other objective and reasonably accurate means of assessing a Patient's or Guarantor's Program eligibility. The Financial Assistance application described the primary and supplementary information required of an individual to provide as part of his or her application. This was documented on the 'Financial Assistance Required Supporting Documents' page included with the Financial Assistance application. Contact information of hospital facility staff who can provide an individual with information about the Financial Assistance Policy and application process was also provided.

The CHNA report also describes NMPH CHNA goals and objectives, public dissemination plan, and development of the Implementation Plan. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 5 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital. The CHNA framework for this hospital facility consisted of a systematic, data-driven approach to determine the health status, behaviors and healthcare needs of residents in this community service area. The assessment provided information that allowed hospital leadership and key community partners to identify health issues of greatest concern among all residents and decide how best to commit the hospitals' resources to those areas, thereby achieving the greatest possible impact on the community's health status. The CHNA incorporated data from both quantitative and qualitative sources and included a community input survey, focus groups and key informant interviews. Prevalent needs were identified across all socioeconomic groups, races, ethnicities, ages and genders. The assessment highlighted health and socioeconomic disparities and needs that disproportionately impact the medically underserved and uninsured. To ensure that the community organizations impacting health in this hospital facility's community service area were meaningfully engaged in interpreting and prioritizing the identified needs, as well as the development of a collaborative plan to address priority needs, a Community Engagement Council was established. This multidisciplinary council consisted of Northwestern Medicine physicians, leaders and staff as well as key community partners who were selected based on strong collaborative efforts to improve the health of the community, including the medically underserved, minority and low-income populations. Community organizations that generously gave their time and expertise to help guide the entire CHNA process are listed below. 1. Bremen High School District 228 2. Crisis Center for South Suburbia 3. Inner-City Muslim Action Network (IMAN) Health Center 4. Moraine Valley Community College 5. National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) South Suburbs of Chicago 6. Pathlights 7. Sertoma Centre, Inc. 8. Together We Cope Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 6a Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital. NMPH worked in tandem with the Alliance for Health Equity (AHE) which is made up of 37 hospitals and local health departments. This group worked collaboratively to assess community needs. Specific needs of the NMPH Community Service Area were identified and prioritized separately. Hospital facilities included: Advocate Aurora Children's Hospital Advocate Aurora Christ Medical Center Advocate Aurora Illinois Masonic Medical Center Advocate Aurora Lutheran General Hospital Advocate Aurora South Suburban Hospital Advocate Aurora Trinity Hospital Advent Health Medical Center LaGrange Ascension Alexian Brothers Medical Center, Elk Grove Village Ascension Holy Family Medical Center Ascension Resurrection Medical Center Ascension St. Alexius Medical Center and Alexian Brothers Behavioral Health Hospital Ascension Saint Francis Hospital Ascension Saint Joseph Hospital Ascension Saints Mary and Elizabeth Medical Center Ann & Robert H.

Northwestern Medicine Leadership Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital. Through the CHNA prioritization process, this hospital facility prioritized Significant Health Needs to address in accordance with IRS regulations. These needs will be referred to as Priority Health Needs throughout the remainder of the document. This hospital facility worked collaboratively to develop strategies and identify resources and areas for collaboration, where applicable, to impact each priority health need. Priority Need 1: Behavioral Health 1.1: Resources: Improve access to behavioral health support services through the expansion of community-based programs. Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital supported local organizations addressing Behavioral Health through a competitive grant process. The Bridge Teen Center received support for their ongoing programming for teens. The programming they provide offers teens from throughout the Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital community service area an opportunity to connect with other teens and develop a sense of hope, purpose, and direction. Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital also provided funding to the Crisis Center for South Suburbia (CCSS) for the Community Counseling program for victims of domestic violence and their children. The CCSS counselors provided trauma-informed care and support. Additionally, Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital provided financial support to Arab American Family Services (AAFS). Through the grant, AAFS conducted outreach to 5,000 youth in the Palestinian community, resulting in 25 youth seeking care to address their behavioral health needs. Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital supported TCA Health; a federally qualified health care center located on the southeast side of Chicago. Through this funding, TCA Health provided primary care services with integrated behavioral health referrals and behavioral health visits to patients residing in or near the hospital's community service area. As part of Northwestern Medicine's commitment to a safer, healthier community, Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital participated in the Drug Enforcement Agency's (DEA) National Take Back event in October 2022 and April 2023. Between the two events, more than 100 pounds of unneeded drugs were collected and disposed of by the DEA with the help of local police enforcement. 1.2: Education: Expand behavioral health preventive and educational resources in collaboration with community organizations. To further expand the services available from the South Suburban Chapter of the National Alliance in Mental Illness (NAMI), Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital provided conference room space twice a month for support group meetings intended for family and friends of those facing behavioral health issues. Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital delivered Mental Health First Aid education at the Orland Park Prayer Center. Fourteen leaders of the Mosque's youth programs participated in the session. 1.3: Training: Expand behavioral health training and education for home health certified nursing assistants. Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital has a Home Health Division. Between visits from a home health nurse, certified nurse assistants provide basic care to patients, such as bathing. It is during these visits that patients have vulnerable, intimate conversations and at times revealing behavioral health issues that nurse assistants typically are not equipped to manage. Twenty-nine certified nurse assistants received training to better navigate and how to manage a patient in behavioral health crisis until additional assistance is available. 1.4: Access: Pilot a collaborative care model by embedding a social worker in a primary care practice to co-manage behavioral health issues and facilitate additional referrals to behavioral health practitioners as needed. An audit of the processes at local Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital primary care physician offices revealed that steps are in place to involve behavioral health professionals in the care of a patient in need of that type of healthcare. The behavioral health care team is responsive and will consult with the patient the same day. Priority Need 2: Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Care 2.1: Programming: Increase culturally and linguistically appropriate programs, including educational opportunities, cooking demonstrations, health screenings and opportunities to receive a flu vaccination in collaboration with community organizations. Working with a local food pantry serving a diverse population, Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital provided 3 different diabetes friendly recipes in English, Spanish, Polish and Arabic using foods commonly found in pantries. Additionally, on three separate occasions Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital assembled and distributed 25 "spice bags" to allow patrons to easily make healthy recipes. Many of the recipes and spices used were native to specific cultures served at the food pantry. To provide access to care in a community setting, Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital conducted monthly blood pressure screenings at the Mosque Foundation Food Pantry. During screening events, a total of 206 participants were screened and 153 were identified as considerable risk (76.8% of participants). To help female participants maintain their desired level of modesty, a privacy screen was purchased and is used during the blood pressure screenings. During one of the visits to the Mosque Foundation Food Pantry, influenza vaccinations were provided to 10 clients. Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital conducted two focus groups with the help of Arab American Family Services (AAFS) to better understand the healthcare needs of this shared community. During these sessions, it was revealed that health literacy is a need in the community they serve. Northwestern Medicine researched to find potential resources related to chronic disease prevention to deliver to AAFS case workers. During a community event offered by Arab American Family Services, Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital provided eight participants influenza vaccinations. Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital participated in a Back-to-School event providing bicycle safety education with materials in Arabic and provided 100 bicycle helmets to youth in attendance. Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital representatives met with leaders from Arab American Family Services to discuss potential educational opportunities to address needs common among their clients. Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital provided financial support to Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR). The funding supported ICIRR's programs to defend, strengthen, and expand immigrant access to health care and coverage for immigrants and refugees that are new the southwest suburbs of Chicago. 2.2: Training: Promote inclusion by educating staff members on the key components of delivering care while being sensitive to unique cultures, customs, and religions. To further foster an inclusive environment, 196 Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital employees completed diversity, equity, and inclusion education. Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital researched potential agencies to deliver education on Muslim faith and Middle Eastern culture. Once an agency is selected, a pilot training session will be scheduled. Four members of the Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital team attended a seminar offered by Arab American Family Services. This program focused on better understanding of Muslim faith and Middle Eastern Culture and the difference between the two. 2.3: Access: Assess most commonly spoken languages and identify patient materials to be translated into those languages. Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital identified Arabic as the second most often spoken language after English at the hospital. A translation service has translated documents into Arabic and the project is in the design phase. Priority Need 3: Food Access and Security 3.1: Access: Ensure safe storage of unused food for use by community partner that addresses needs related to homelessness. Following food safety guidelines, Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital safely provides approximately two trays of unused food to Beds Plus, an organization that supports unhoused individuals and families. The food allowed Beds Plus to offer nutritious meals at their medical respite facility. 3.2: Access: Implement electronic medical record screening tool to connect patients with local agencies that assist with food resources. Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital launched a module within the electronic medical record to screen patients for social determinants of health. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 2 Facility , 2 - Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital. When patients express a concern about food insecurity, the case worker will follow up with them to provide resources. 3.3: Access: Promote access to food and support nutrition education through funding in collaboration with community organizations. During FY23, Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital provided funding to Mosque Foundation Food Pantry to supplement the food received from the Greater Chicago Food Depository to allow them to distribute more lean protein to clients. Moraine Valley Community College received financial support from Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital to build a food pantry that would serve their students and the local community. While construction has not been completed, architecture plans were developed, and the project was out for competitive bid. Lastly, the Palos United Methodist Church Food Pantry also received funding to expand storage for dry goods.

Part I, Line 6a COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT Northwestern Memorial HealthCare and Subsidiaries (NMHC) submit a community benefit report to the Illinois attorney general according to the requirements for the state of Illinois. This report is filed under the Parent EIN, 36-3152959. Northwestern Memorial Hospital (NMH), Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital (NLFH), Central DuPage Hospital (NWCDH), Delnor Community Hospital (Delnor), Kishwaukee Community Hospital (KCH), Valley West Hospital (VWH), Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital and Clinics (MJRH), Northern Illinois Medical Center (NIMC), Palos Community Hospital (PCH) and all other NMHC non-profit subsidiaries' results are included in this report. Schedule H, Part I, Line 7g SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES THE BENEFITS REPORTED ARE PRIMARILY ASSOCIATED WITH OPERATING LOSSES SUPPORTING NMH'S MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAMS. NMHC DOES NOT INCLUDE COSTS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PHYSICIAN CLINICS AS SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES. Schedule H, Part I, Line 3c DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY FOR FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital, Central DuPage Hospital, Delnor-Community Hospital, Kishwaukee Community Hospital, Valley West Hospital, Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital and Clinics, Northern Illinois Medical Center, and Palos Community Hospital 09/01/2022 - 08/31/2023 NMH, NLFH, CDH, Delnor, Kishwaukee, Valley West, MJRH, NIMC, and PCH shall, in accordance with Illinois Hospital Uninsured Patient Discount Act, provide Free Care and Discounted Care to Uninsured Patients. As of 1/1/2023, the combined NMHC policy applies to all entities. In accordance with Illinois regulations, the PCH Financial Assistance Policy remained in effect for two years following the Palos affiliation with NM as of January 1, 2021. NMHC provides Free Care and Discounted Care to eligible Applicants who are uninsured through two methods: "uninsured sliding fee scale assistance "uninsured catastrophic assistance." If an Applicant qualifies under both methods, NMHC will apply the method that is most beneficial to the Applicant. Despite qualification under either method, if there is reason to believe that an Applicant may have assets in excess of 600% of the then current Federal Poverty Guideline applicable to the Applicant's Family Size and that are available to pay for medical services, NMHC may require the Applicant to provide information about such assets, and the Free Care Committee may consider those assets in deciding whether, and to what extent, to extend Free Care or Discounted Care. Free Care and Discounted Care shall be available for those Uninsured Patients who are Illinois Residents. The separate PCH policy in place similarly reflected a residency requirement. Non-Residents who are Uninsured Patients are not eligible for Free Care or Discounted Care. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no residency requirement for Uninsured Applicants receiving Emergency Services. Financial Assistance will only be applied to self-pay balances, after all third-party benefits/resources are reasonably exhausted, including, but not limited to, benefits from insurance carriers (e.g., health, home, auto liability, worker's compensation, or employer funded health reimbursement accounts), government programs (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid or other federal, state, or local programs), or proceeds from litigation, settlements, and/or private fundraising efforts (collectively, "Third-Party Funding Sources"). Patients receiving Financial Assistance and who require Medically Necessary care (other than Emergency Services) must, whenever possible, be screened for eligibility for Medicaid, Health Insurance Exchange, or other available payment programs and, if found eligible, the Patient must fully cooperate with enrollment requirements prior to the procedure being scheduled and/or services being rendered. Eligible Patients who fail or refuse to enroll in available Medicaid, Health Insurance Exchange, or other available payment programs may be ineligible for Financial Assistance. NMHC (or its agent), at its discretion, may assess a Patient's or Guarantor's Financial Assistance eligibility by means other than a completed Application. In such instances, eligibility determinations may include the use of information provided by credit reporting agencies, public records, or other objective and reasonably accurate means of assessing a Patient's or Guarantor's Program eligibility. An uninsured Patient demonstrating eligibility under one or more of the following programs shall be deemed eligible for NMHC's Free and Discounted Care program and will not be required to provide additional supporting documentation for financial assistance. A. Homelessness B. Deceased with no estate C. Mental incapacitation with no one to act on the patient's behalf D. Medicaid eligibility, but not on date of service for non-covered service E. Enrollment in the following assistance programs for low-income individuals having eligibility criteria at or below 200% of the federal poverty income guidelines; 1. Women, Infants and Children Nutrition Program (WIC) 2. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) 3. Illinois Free Lunch and Breakfast Program 4. Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) 5. Enrollment in an organized community-based program providing access to medical care that assess and documents limited low income financial 6. Receipt of grant assistance for medical services Schedule H, Part VI, Line 2 NEEDS ASSESSMENT, CONTINUED Northwestern Medicine Valley West Hospital: NM Valley West collaborates with diverse organizations to identify a common vision and plan to create a collective impact on the overall health of the community. This includes striving to coordinate efforts focusing on community priorities with community stakeholders including the DeKalb County Health Department, the Kendall County Health Department, Fox Valley Older Adults, and other medical, not-for-profit, community and faith-based organizations. Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital: MRH coordinates strategies with community partners and key stakeholders who include, but are not limited to, the DuPage County Health Department, DuPage Federation on Human Services Reform, AbilityLinks, the People's Resource Center, and local school districts and public entities. MRH's Pediatric Community Groups continue to be highly utilized by parents/caregivers to work on achieving functional goals for children with special needs. Northern Illinois Medical Center: NIMC represents the three hospitals of the legacy Centegra Health System (CHS), including Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital, Northwestern Medicine Huntley Hospital and Northwestern Medicine Woodstock Hospital. McHeny Hospital works with the Chicago Medical School Internal Medicine Residency program to provide training to the next generation of caregivers. The Woodstock campus is home to Aunt Martha's Woodstock Community Health Center, a federally qualified health center, offering comprehensive primary care and mental health services to the uninsured and underinsured members of the broader McHenry Community. Palos Community Hospital: PCH is situated in the South Suburbs of Chicago, including the Palos Heights and Orland Park communities. PCH has worked with partners and stakeholders from that area including, but not limited to, the City of Palos Heights, the Villages of Chicago Ridge, Crestwood, Midlothian, Orland Park, Palos Park, and Worth, as well as local school districts and public entities. Schedule H, Part I, Line 7 Bad Debt Expense excluded from financial assistance calculation 177306524 Schedule H, Part I, Line 7 Costing Methodology used to calculate financial assistance THE COST OF CHARITY CARE FOR THE HOSPITALS WAS CALCULATED BY APPLYING THE TOTAL COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO FROM EACH HOSPITAL'S MEDICARE COST REPORT (CMS 2552-96 WORKSHEET C, PART 1, CONSISTENT WITH THE STATE OF ILLINOIS ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE DEFINITION) TO THE CHARGES ON ACCOUNTS IDENTIFIED AS QUALIFYING FOR CHARITY CARE (AS DEFINED IN THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS ACCOUNTING AND AUDITING GUIDE - HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS). THE RESULTANT CALCULATED COST WAS THEN OFFSET BY ANY PAYMENTS RECEIVED THAT WERE DESIGNATED FOR THE PAYMENT OF PATIENT BILLS QUALIFYING FOR A CHARITY CARE DISCOUNT (AS DEFINED IN THE HEALTHCARE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION'S PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES BOARD STATEMENT 15, VALUATION AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION OF CHARITY CARE AND BAD DEBTS BY INSTITUTIONAL HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS). THE PHYSICIAN GROUPS, INCLUDING NMG AND RMG ARE NOT REQUIRED TO FILE A MEDICARE COST REPORT. AN INTERNALLY CALCULATED COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO SPECIFIC TO THE PHYSICIAN GROUPS WAS USED TO DETERMINE THE COST OF CHARITY CARE FOR NMG. THE RESULTANT CALCULATED COST WAS THEN OFFSET BY ANY PAYMENTS, CONSISTENT WITH THE METHODOLOGY FOR THE HOSPITALS. THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF BAD DEBT, MEDICAID, MEDICARE OR ANY OTHER FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL INDIGENT HEALTHCARE PROGRAM IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE UNREIMBURSED COST FIGURE FOR CHARITY CARE. THE COSTS OF CHARITY CARE IN THIS REPORT DIFFER FROM NMHC'S NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023 WHERE THEY WERE CALCULATED BY APPLYING A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO DEVELOPED PRIOR TO FILING NMH'S, NLFH'S, CDH'S, DELNOR'S, KISH'S, MARIANJOY'S, NIMC'S, AND PCH'S FISCAL YEAR 2023 MEDICARE COST REPORTS TO CHARGES FOREGONE FOR CHARITY CARE. THE FISCAL YEAR 2023 MEDICARE COST REPORTS WERE COMPLETED AFTER THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS WERE ISSUED. THE COSTS OF CHARITY CARE FOR THE HOSPITALS INCLUDED IN THIS REPORT WERE CALCULATED USING THE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIOS FROM NMH'S, NLFH'S, CDH'S, DELNOR'S, KISH'S, MARIANJOY'S, NIMC'S, AND PCH'S COST REPORTS FILED IN MARCH OF 2024 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023. COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SERVICES - THE COST OF LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS INCLUDES BOTH THE COST OF EMPLOYEES AND NONEMPLOYEES TO PROVIDE TRANSLATION SERVICES TO NMHC HOSPITAL PATIENTS AND FAMILY MEMBERS. EDUCATION - UNREIMBURSED EDUCATION COSTS INCLUDE THE COST OF NMHC'S MEDICAL RESIDENCY, FELLOWSHIP AND INTERNSHIP PROGRAMS LESS ANY THIRD-PARTY PAYOR REIMBURSEMENTS AND FEES RECEIVED. SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES - SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES INCLUDE THE UNCOMPENSATED COST OF PROVIDING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES, HEALTH EDUCATION AND INFORMATION AND PROGRAMS TO POSITIVELY IMPACT THE WELLNESS OF THE COMMUNITY. COSTS CALCULATED WERE OFFSET BY ANY REIMBURSEMENT RECEIVED FOR SERVICES PROVIDED. THE UNREIMBURSED COST FOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES WAS ALSO ADJUSTED TO EXCLUDE THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF CHARITY CARE AND GOVERNMENT SPONSORED INDIGENT HEALTHCARE. RESEARCH - NMHC PROVIDES SUPPORT TO ADVANCE MEDICAL AND SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND ACADEMIC PURSUITS. THE REPORTED SUPPORT INCLUDES THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF FUNDS PROVIDED FOR RESEARCH PROJECTS AND UNREIMBURSED OPERATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS TO SUPPORT CLINICAL RESEARCH THAT OCCURS AT NMH, NMG, CDH AND MJRH. DONATIONS - DONATIONS INCLUDE THE DOLLAR AMOUNT RECORDED DURING FISCAL YEAR 2023 IN ACCORDANCE WITH U.S. GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AS CONTRIBUTIONS TO CHARITABLE AND OTHER COMMUNITY OR CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS FOR FURTHERANCE OF THEIR CHARITABLE PURPOSES. Schedule H, Part II Community Building Activities NMHC HOSPITALS PROVIDE A BROAD RANGE OF TRAINING PROGRAMS AND SUPERVISED PATIENT CARE EXPERIENCES TO ENSURE THAT A HIGHLY TRAINED HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE OF ADEQUATE CAPACITY IS IN PLACE TO SERVE THE RESIDENTS OF THE REGION. IMPORTANTLY, THESE PROGRAMS CREATE PATHWAYS FOR AT-RISK MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY TO SEEK JOBS WITHIN THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM AND ALSO ARE IN PLACE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE TO LEARN ABOUT AND POTENTIALLY EXPLORE HEALTHCARE CAREERS. ALLIED HEALTH SCHOOLS AT NMH NMH OPERATES FOUR ACCREDITED ALLIED HEALTH SCHOOLS - DIAGNOSTIC MEDICAL SONOGRAPHY, NUCLEAR MEDICINE TECHNOLOGY, RADIATION THERAPY AND RADIOLOGY - AS WELL AS A HISTOTECHNOLOGY PROGRAM, POST-PRIMARY CT AND MRI PROGRAMS, AND A MEDICAL ASSISTANT PROGRAM. THE 21-MONTH CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS ARE OPEN TO EMPLOYEES AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC. MANY STUDENTS COME FROM THE LOCAL COMMUNITY, AS WELL AS FROM AFFILIATED COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES. LEADERS OF THESE PROGRAMS VISIT CITY HIGH SCHOOLS, COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES TO INTRODUCE VARIOUS MEDICAL FIELDS TO PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS AND INCREASE THEIR GENERAL KNOWLEDGE OF VARIOUS ALLIED HEALTH FIELDS. THE CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS AIM TO ADDRESS THE NEED FOR ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS IN THE FIELD. IN ADDITION TO TRAINING THE NATION'S FUTURE PHYSICIANS, FEINBERG HAS FURTHER RESPONDED TO THE ANTICIPATED SHORTAGE OF MEDICAL PROVIDERS BY OFFERING A MASTER'S-LEVEL PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT PROGRAM. PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS ARE HIGHLY EFFECTIVE MEMBERS OF PRIMARY CARE TEAMS THAT INCLUDE MANY LEVELS OF PROVIDERS AND CAN EFFICIENTLY DELIVER THE HIGHEST QUALITY OF CARE TO EXTENDED GROUPS OF PATIENTS. THROUGH FEINBERG'S PROGRAM, PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS ARE EDUCATED AND TRAINED WITHIN THE MEDICAL SCHOOL SETTING AND GAIN CLINICAL EXPERIENCE AT NMHC HOSPITALS. CLINICAL EXPERIENCE AT NMHC HOSPITALS NMHC HOSPITALS PROVIDE THE IMPORTANT CLINICAL SETTING FOR THE EDUCATION OF THE NEXT GENERATION OF HEALTHCARE WORKERS, INCLUDING PHYSICIANS, NURSES, PHARMACISTS, LABORATORY PROFESSIONALS, ALLIED HEALTH WORKERS AND SKILLED TECHNICIANS. THROUGH CLINICAL AFFILIATIONS WITH TOP REGIONAL UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES AND ESTABLISHED CLINICAL ROTATIONS, MENTORING, CLINICIAN SHADOWING, TRADITIONAL DIDACTIC LECTURES AND OTHER TEACHING PROGRAMS, WE PROVIDE CLINICAL SETTINGS FOR THE EDUCATION OF THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS, MANY OF WHOM WILL BECOME PROFESSIONALS IN FIELDS IDENTIFIED AS AREAS OF CURRENT OR FUTURE WORKFORCE SHORTAGE IN THE NATIONAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM. NMHC PROVIDES EDUCATION TO A WIDE RANGE OF STUDENTS INCLUDING: - UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE NURSING STUDENTS - STUDENTS FROM UNIVERSITY-BASED PHARMACY PROGRAMS - RESPIRATORY THERAPY STUDENTS - GRADUATE SOCIAL WORK INTERNS - PSYCHOLOGY PHD CANDIDATES WITH CLINICAL EMPHASES IN ADULT CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY, BEHAVIORAL MEDICINE (HEALTH PSYCHOLOGY), CLINICAL CHILD AND ADOLESCENT PSYCHOLOGY AND CLINICAL NEUROPSYCHOLOGY - INTERNS IN BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING - PASTORAL CARE STUDENTS - PHYSICAL THERAPISTS, OCCUPATIONAL THERAPISTS, SPEECH LANGUAGE PATHOLOGISTS, PHYSICAL THERAPIST ASSISTANTS AND OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY ASSISTANTS THROUGH A MASTER CLINICIAN PROGRAM - PHYSICAL AND OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY ASSISTANT, BACHELOR, MASTERS AND PHD STUDENTS - STUDENTS IN A BROAD ARRAY OF OTHER CLINICAL PROGRAMS ON-THE-JOB TRAINING AND YOUTH EDUCATION PROGRAMS RESEARCH ON THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH INDICATES THAT ACCESS TO EDUCATIONAL AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES IS A KEY FACTOR IMPACTING INDIVIDUALS' QUALITY OF LIFE. NMHC OFFERS A MULTITUDE OF OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPOSE STUDENTS TO POTENTIAL HEALTHCARE CAREERS AND TO FOSTER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE FIELD. ONGOING, COMPREHENSIVE, ON-THE-JOB TRAINING AND YOUTH PROGRAMS FOR HIGH SCHOOL, COLLEGE AND POST-GRADUATE STUDENTS ARE OFFERED AT EVERY HOSPITAL IN THE HEALTH SYSTEM IN BOTH CLINICAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE SETTINGS. NM HAS LONG INVESTED IN PROGRAMS TO ADDRESS SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, INCLUDING PROVIDING EDUCATIONAL AND EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUTH. IN 2011, NMH EMBARKED ON AN EDUCATIONAL PARTNERSHIP WITH WESTINGHOUSE COLLEGE PREPARATORY HIGH SCHOOL (WESTINGHOUSE), A SELECTIVE-ENROLLMENT HIGH SCHOOL ON CHICAGO'S WEST SIDE, TO PROVIDE TALENTED HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN ABOUT AND PURSUE POST-HIGH-SCHOOL EDUCATION IN HEALTHCARE CAREERS. STUDENTS MEET FEINBERG FACULTY AND HOSPITAL EMPLOYEES, AND ARE PROVIDED A BEHIND-THE-SCENES UNDERSTANDING OF CLINICAL AREAS AND POTENTIAL CAREERS. THE PROGRAM ALSO INCLUDES MENTORING, AN INTENSIVE SUMMER PROGRAM, DISTANCE LEARNING, ACT TEST PREPARATION, AND LEADERSHIP AND LIFE SKILLS DEVELOPMENT. THE PROGRAM HAD 27 PARTICIPANTS IN FY23 AND 88 STUDENTS HAVE GRADUATED FROM THE PROGRAM TO DATE. IN FY23, THE OFFERED PROGRAMS TO THE WESTINGHOUSE COMMUNITY INCLUDED: - THE COMMUNITY GRAND ROUNDS SESSION PROVIDED THE OPPORTUNITY FOR NM FACULTY TO DIRECTLY SHARE MEDICAL INFORMATION AND KNOWLEDGE. - THE ANATOMY LAB SESSION PROVIDED STUDENTS WITH THEIR FIRST GLANCE OF MEDICAL SCHOOL AND EXPOSURE TO A REAL HUMAN BODY. - THE MEN IN MEDICINE AND SCIENCE (MIMS) PROGRAM EXPOSED WESTINGHOUSE FRESHMAN MALE STUDENTS TO THE WORLD OF MEDICINE AND SCIENCE.

THESE INITIATIVES RANGE FROM DISEASE-SPECIFIC INFORMATION PROGRAMS, TO MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE COMMUNITY EDUCATION, TO MINDFULNESS TRAINING, AMONG MANY MORE. Schedule H, Part III, Line 2 Bad debt expense - methodology used to estimate amount Northwestern Memorial uses a portfolio approach to account for categories of patient contracts as a collective group rather than recognizing revenue on an individual contract basis. The portfolios consist of major payor classes for inpatient revenue and major payor classes and types of services provided for outpatient revenue. Based on the historical collection trends and other analysis, Northwestern Memorial believes that revenue recognized by utilizing the portfolio approach approximates the revenue that would have been recognized if an individual contract approach were used. Northwestern Memorial determines the transaction price, which involves significant estimates and judgment, based on standard charges for goods and services provided, reduced by explicit and implicit price concessions, including contractual adjustments provided to third-party payors, discounts provided to uninsured and underinsured patients in accordance with policy and/or implicit price concessions based on the historical collection experience of patient accounts. Northwestern Memorial determines the transaction price associated with services provided to patients who have third-party payor coverage with Medicare, Medicaid, Blue Cross, other managed care programs and other third-party payors based on reimbursement terms per contractual agreements, discount policies and historical experience. Payment arrangements with those payors include prospectively determined rates per admission or visit, reimbursed costs, discounted charges per diem rates and value-based care agreements. Reported costs and/or services provided under certain of the arrangements are subject to retroactive audit and adjustment. Schedule H, Part III, Line 4 Bad debt expense - financial statement footnote PLEASE SEE PAGE 13, FOOTNOTE 2, OF THE ATTACHED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Schedule H, Part III, Line 8 Community benefit & methodology for determining medicare costs THE UNREIMBURSED COST OF MEDICARE IS DEFINED BY THE STATE OF ILLINOIS ATTORNERY GENERAL'S OFFICE ANNUAL NONPROFIT HOSPITAL COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN REPORT AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THE HEALTHCARE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION ALSO VIEWS THE UNREIMBURSED COSTS OF MEDICARE AS PART OF A HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAM. NMHC PROVIDES MEDICAL CARE TO MEDICARE PATIENTS AT A COST HIGHER THAN THE REIMBURSEMENT IT RECEIVES FROM MEDICARE. THE AMOUNTS LISTED FOR PART III, LINE 5 THRU 7, ARE CALCULATED CONSISTENT WITH THE METHODOLOGY DESCRIBED FOR CALCULATING UNREIMBURSED COST OF MEDICAID FOR FISCAL 2023. Schedule H, Part III, Line 9b Collection practices for patients eligible for financial assistance NMHC'S CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICY CONTAINS A PROVISION FOR FINANCIAL COUNSELING. THE POLICY STATES THAT PATIENTS WITH SELF-PAY BALANCES AND WITHOUT THE RESOURCES TO PAY THEIR OBLIGATIONS WILL BE ASSESSED FOR FREE AND DISCOUNTED CARE ELIGIBILITY BY THE FINANCIAL COUNSELING DEPARTMENTS. THE ASSESSMENT INVOLVES AND EVALUATION OF ALL LEVELS OF ASSISTANCE INCLUDING GOVERNMENTAL ASSISTANCE, EXTENDED PAY ALTERNATIVES, AND FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE. IF THE PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR FREE CARE, THE ACCOUNT IS ADJUSTED TO ZERO SO NO COLLECTION ACTIVITY OCCURS.

THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN DESCRIBES THE BROAD-REACHING GOALS THAT SUPPORT THIS COMMITMENT AND ADDRESS OUR RESPONSIBILITY AS A TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION. THE DEPARTMENT OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS DEVELOPS AND MAINTAINS A COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN FOR THE HEALTH SYSTEM, WHICH IS EXECUTED AT THE HOSPITAL LEVEL TO BEST MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES. REVIEWED ANNUALLY AND REVISED AS NEEDED, THE OBJECTIVES OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN ARE TO: 1. PROVIDE QUALITY MEDICAL CARE, REGARDLESS OF THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY. 2. HONOR NORTHWESTERN MEDICINE'S MISSION AND COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY. 3. BE RESPONSIVE TO THE ASSESSED NEEDS OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY SERVED BY EACH HOSPITAL. 4. FORGE RELATIONSHIPS WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO HELP ADDRESS SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. 5. EVALUATE THE PUBLIC HEALTH IMPACT OF NORTHWESTERN MEDICINE PROGRAMMING, AND REPLICATE BY GEOGRAPHY AND/OR DISEASE STATE WITH SENSITIVITY TO THE INDIVIDUAL NEEDS OF OUR PATIENTS, THEIR FAMILIES AND THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. 6. LEVERAGE OUR STRENGTHS AS A PREMIER ACADEMIC HEALTH SYSTEM TO TRAIN THE NEXT GENERATION OF CAREGIVERS AND UTILIZE EVIDENCE-BASED MODELS FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH ENGAGEMENT. 7. LEVERAGE OUR BOND WITH NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY FEINBERG SCHOOL OF MEDICINE TO BE LEADERS IN QUALITY, ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE, SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY, PATIENT SAFETY AND RESEARCH-INFORMED TREATMENT. ALIGNED WITH OUR MISSIONS AND COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT (ACA), EACH OF THE HEALTH SYSTEM HOSPITALS WORKS WITH COMMUNITY AND CAMPUS PARTNERS EVERY THREE YEARS TO COMPLETE A COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) THAT IDENTIFIES THE HIGHEST PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS OF RESIDENTS OF ITS COMMUNITY. WITH FEINBERG, NMHC BRINGS TO BEAR THE RESOURCES OF A WORLD-CLASS, INTEGRATED ACADEMIC HEALTH SYSTEM TO ADVANCE OUR COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN AND CHNA INITIATIVES IN WAYS THAT COULD NOT BE ACHIEVED AS STAND-ALONE HOSPITALS. PROVIDING BETTER CARE CLOSER TO HOME ALLOWS OUR COMMUNITIES ACCESS TO THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS IN EDUCATION AND RESEARCH THAT PREVIOUSLY MAY NOT HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE AT THE COMMUNITY LEVEL. THIS INCLUDES: - SEEKING ROOT CAUSES TO HEALTH CONDITIONS, AND COLLABORATING WITH SCIENTISTS AND CLINICIANS TO DEVELOP SOLUTIONS - ENHANCING ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE - IMPROVING CLINICAL QUALITY - ADVANCING MEDICAL INNOVATION - ENSURING THAT A HIGHLY SKILLED HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE IS IN PLACE FOR DECADES TO COME - ADDRESSING THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH CHNAS PROVIDE INFORMATION THAT ENABLES HOSPITALS TO IDENTIFY HEALTH ISSUES OF GREATEST CONCERN AMONG RESIDENTS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES AND DECIDE HOW BEST TO COMMIT RESOURCES TO THOSE AREAS, THEREBY MAKING THE GREATEST POSSIBLE IMPACT ON COMMUNITY HEALTH STATUS. NMHC EMPLOYS A SYSTEMATIC, DATA-DRIVEN APPROACH TO DETERMINE THE HEALTH STATUS, BEHAVIORS AND NEEDS OF THE RESIDENTS OF EACH HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY. EACH CHNA SERVES AS A TOOL TOWARD REACHING THREE GOALS: 1. IMPROVE RESIDENTS' HEALTH STATUS, INCREASE THEIR LIFE SPANS AND ELEVATE THEIR OVERALL QUALITY OF LIFE. A HEALTHY COMMUNITY IS ONE WHERE ITS RESIDENTS SUFFER LITTLE FROM PHYSICAL AND MENTAL ILLNESS AND ALSO ENJOY A HIGH QUALITY OF LIFE. 2. REDUCE THE HEALTH DISPARITIES AMONG RESIDENTS. BY GATHERING DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION ALONG WITH HEALTH STATUS AND BEHAVIOR DATA, IT IS POSSIBLE TO IDENTIFY POPULATION SEGMENTS THAT ARE MOST AT RISK FOR VARIOUS DISEASES AND INJURIES. INTERVENTION PLANS AIMED AT TARGETING THESE SEGMENTS MAY THEN BE DEVELOPED TO COMBAT SOME OF THE SOCIOECONOMIC FACTORS THAT HAVE HISTORICALLY HAD A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON RESIDENTS' HEALTH. 3. INCREASE ACCESSIBILITY TO PREVENTIVE SERVICES FOR ALL COMMUNITY RESIDENTS. MORE ACCESSIBLE PREVENTIVE SERVICES ARE BENEFICIAL IN ACCOMPLISHING THE FIRST GOAL (IMPROVING HEALTH STATUS, INCREASING LIFE SPANS AND ELEVATING THE QUALITY OF LIFE), AS WELL AS LOWERING THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH CARING FOR LATE-STAGE DISEASES RESULTING FROM A LACK OF PREVENTIVE CARE. THE CHNAS AND CORRESPONDING IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES WERE DEVELOPED WITH FEEDBACK FROM COMMUNITY HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS AND OTHER SOCIAL SERVICES AND PUBLIC ORGANIZATIONS THAT UNDERSTAND AND HELP REPRESENT THE WIDE-RANGING HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF THE RESIDENTS IN OUR COMMUNITIES. THE CHNA IMPLEMENTATION PLANS ARE GROUNDED IN PUBLIC HEALTH MODELS DEVELOPED WITH OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND FEINBERG FACULTY, IN WHICH RESIDENTS OF OUR COMMUNITIES ARE INFORMED AND ABLE TO MAKE HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CHOICES, MANAGE THEIR CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS AND RECEIVE MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES IN THE MOST APPROPRIATE SETTING. WE BELIEVE THAT OUR MISSION TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE IS BEST ACCOMPLISHED IN COLLABORATION WITH PARTNERS IN BOTH THE COMMUNITY AND WITHIN THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT COMPRISE NORTHWESTERN MEDICINE, INCLUDING THE HEALTH SYSTEM AND FEINBERG. OUR AFFILIATIONS WITH COMMUNITY-BASED HEALTHCARE AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS ENABLE THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S ORGANIZATIONS TO MEANINGFULLY IMPROVE ACCESS TO HIGH-QUALITY HEALTH CARE AND IMPLEMENT TARGETED PROGRAMS THAT ADDRESS THE HIGHEST-PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. WE HAVE IMPLEMENTED LARGE-SCALE PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT OUR COMMUNITIES USING THIS FRAMEWORK TO TARGET HIGH-PRIORITY HEALTH CONDITIONS AND WILL CONTINUE TO USE PUBLIC HEALTH MODELS TO ADDRESS PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED THROUGH OUR CHNAS. ONGOING EFFORTS DRAW ON NMHC'S AND FEINBERG'S STRENGTHS IN PUBLIC HEALTH, COMMUNICATION AND EDUCATION, AND INCLUDE PROGRAMS TO ADDRESS IDENTIFIED PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS IN COMMUNITIES SERVED ACROSS THE HEALTH SYSTEM. OUR HOSPITALS HAVE ENDURING RELATIONSHIPS, OFTEN DECADES OLD, WITH LOCAL HEALTHCARE AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. THROUGH THESE PARTNERSHIPS, WE COLLABORATE ON DETERMINING PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS THROUGH THE CHNA PROCESS AND WORK TOGETHER TO DEVELOP SOLUTIONS THAT RESPECT THE VARIED CULTURAL, SOCIOECONOMIC AND PRACTICAL NEEDS OF OUR DIVERSE COMMUNITIES. NORTHWESTERN MEMORIAL HOSPITAL: NMH COLLABORATES WITH COMMUNITY-BASED HEALTH, EDUCATION AND SOCIAL SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS TO PROVIDE HEALTH EDUCATION, OUTREACH SERVICES AND FOCUSED DISEASE MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS, AND TO ENSURE THAT THE RESIDENTS OF OUR COMMUNITIES HAVE CONVENIENT ACCESS TO HIGH-QUALITY MEDICAL HOMES.

Schedule H, Part VI, Line 4 Community information The communities served by NMHC hospitals are complex and diverse, encompassing rural, suburban and urban areas, with a range of socioeconomic statuses and social determinants of health that correspond to these demographics. NMHC is committed to providing care that takes into consideration the cultures and environments in which our patients live and is responsive to their needs. NMHC works closely with community partners, including health and social service partners, to identify priority health concerns and jointly develop community-based health initiatives designed to address healthcare disparities. Each NMHC hospital considers a variety of factors when defining its distinctive community. These factors include: geographic area served, principal functions of the hospital, areas of high hardship and the population served, the location of existing NM and community assets, and the service areas of other healthcare providers. By considering each of these factors, each NMHC hospital defined its own Community Service Area (CSA) and is working to meet the unique needs of the community it serves. Northwestern Memorial Hospital Service Area NMH serves a large, complex and diverse area with patients coming from the City of Chicago and surrounding counties. NMH's Hospital Service Area was previously defined as the Cities of Chicago and Evanston. This was re-evaluated to determine a 7-mile radius around the Hospital which maximizes the opportunity to identify and address health needs for communities serviced by the Hospital. The community comprises 34 ZIP codes, 92.30 square miles, or 56% of Chicago's total population. NMH's Hospital Service Area is ethnically and racially diverse with large Black and Hispanic populations as well as large Polish and Spanish-speaking populations. Significantly, more than 30 percent of families live below the poverty level in NMH's Hospital Service Area. NMH is committed to providing culturally competent care that is responsive to the needs of all our patients, regardless of the ability to pay. NMH works with community health centers in some of Chicago's medically underserved areas to identify priority health concerns and jointly develop community-based health initiatives designed to address healthcare disparities. Northwestern Medicine Lake Forest Hospital Service Area NM LFH primarily serves Lake County, which has a fairly stable population of around 725,000 residents. While NM LFH's Hospital Service Area population is only expected to grow by 0.7 percent over the next five years, the over-65 population is growing rapidly. According to the 2020 census results (the most recent information available), the number of persons in Lake County 65 years and older comprises 14.5 percent of the total population. A total of 21.5% of Lake County residents are Hispanic or Latino. In looking at race independent of ethnicity, 60.9% of residents of Lake County are White and 6.4% are Black. NM LFH defines its community as Lake County in order to facilitate alignment with the Lake County Health Department (LCHD). Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital Service Area Located in Winfield, Illinois, NMCDH serves over 931,000 residents of central and western DuPage County and beyond. Age distribution in the County includes 23.1 percent infants, children or adolescents, 62.5 percent of residents are age 18 to 64, and the 14.5 percent of age 65 or older.

Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital Service Area Located in Wheaton, Illinois, MRH largely serves the residents of DuPage County, demographics as discussed with regards to the NMCDH service area of DuPage County as well. However, due to the specialty nature of the hospital, MRH also serves as a destination hospital receiving patient referrals from surrounding counties including Cook, Will, Kane, Kendall, DeKalb and LaSalle. Due to the unique services offered by MRH, the hospital does not use a PSA to define its community. MRH considers DuPage County its CSA, but also serves as a destination hospital for surrounding counties. Patients often travel from Cook, Will, Kane, Kendall, DeKalb and LaSalle counties, among many more, to receive care at MRH. Care is provided for all persons across the life span, including but not limited to adults, children, women, seniors and disabled people. Special consideration is given to underserved and disproportionately affected populations.

Schedule H, Part VI, Line 5 Promotion of community health As described in earlier sections, NMHC believes that its mission to improve the health of the communities it serves is best accomplished in collaboration with partners in the community. The CHNA process and ongoing input from community partners inform how NMHC hospitals prioritize and address community health needs. Along with our many care locations, our community affiliations help us to provide care to residents near where they live or work, with streamlined pathways to access medically necessary hospital-based care. NMHC also sponsors numerous programs to provide mental health services, promote health and wellness, prevent injury and trauma, and provide healthcare career training, youth mentoring, language assistance and volunteer programs to enhance the quality and accessibility of care. Net unreimbursed cost for these activities for FY23 was over $81 million.

Schedule I, Part III, Column (b) Number of recipients The number of scholarship recipients is known. For the other types of assistance to domestic individuals the number of recipients benefiting was estimated based on an average or typical amount of assistance provided. Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds. The Northwestern Medicine health system (Northwestern Medicine) contributes financial support to tax-exempt organizations and other agencies which support our mission to improve the health and quality of life for those within our communities. Grants and donations from Northwestern Medicine are administered through Office of External Affairs and its Community Affairs team. The Community Affairs team maintains detailed records and internal control procedures to ensure grant recipients are qualified, award amounts are documented and selection criteria are clear. Requests for donations of $10,000 or less are evaluated to ensure that the donations will have a positive impact on the health and well-being of our communities in addressing an identified community health need. Donations of $1000 or more require an Accountability Report from the recipient which identifies how the funds were used to address the community health need as proposed. Larger donations are awarded through the Northwestern Medicine grant program and are handled through a formal application process, which includes identifying the community health need to be addressed through the grant, requires a detailed budget for the proposed program, and the measurable outcomes expected. Once a grant has been awarded, a written agreement is created which incorporates a budget and time period for spending the grant dollars.
