ALTHOUGH ALL OF THE NEEDS ADDRESSED IN THE CHNA ARE VALID, IMPORTANT CONCERNS, CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL IS COMMITTED TO PRIORITIZING KEY CHALLENGES WHERE THEY CAN BE MOST IMPACTFUL. DUE TO A LACK OF RESOURCES, EXPERTISE, OR COMPETENCE, CHILDREN'S LEADERSHIP DETERMINED THE FOLLOWING NEEDS WILL NOT BE EXPLICITLY PRIORITIZED AND ADDRESSED IN THE CHIP:SOCIOECONOMIC CHALLENGES: WHILE SOCIOECONOMIC CHALLENGES WERE NOT LISTED AS A STANDALONE FOCUS AREA, ADDRESSING THESE BARRIERS IS EMBEDDED THROUGHOUT OUR PROGRAMS. INITIATIVES SUCH AS THE PARENTING CENTER, THRIVEKIDS SCHOOL WELLNESS PROGRAM, THE FOOD PANTRY, THE MIRACLE LEAGUE, AND EXPANDED ACCESS TO PEDIATRIC PRIMARY AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTHCARE ALL WORK TO MITIGATE THE EFFECTS OF POVERTY ON CHILD HEALTH OUTCOMES. IN ADDITION, WE OPERATE HOGS HOUSE AND SUPPORT RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE TO PROVIDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING OPTIONS FOR FAMILIES FACING FINANCIAL HARDSHIPS DURING HOSPITALIZATION.ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH: DUE TO RESOURCE CONSTRAINTS AND COMPETING PROGRAM PRIORITIES, ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH WAS NOT SELECTED AS A STANDALONE STRATEGIC FOCUS AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER, ELEMENTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY ARE INCORPORATED INTO OUR TRAUMA INJURY PREVENTION PROGRAM AND BROADER COMMUNITY SAFETY INITIATIVES, WHICH PROMOTE SAFER HOME AND COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENTS FOR CHILDREN. AFFORDABILITY OF CARE: AFFORDABILITY IS A CORE PRIORITY INTEGRATED THROUGHOUT ALL PROGRAMS. WE INCREASE ACCESS TO CARE FOR UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED POPULATIONS THROUGH INITIATIVES LIKE THE ACADEMIC CLINIC, THE THRIVEKIDS SCHOOL WELLNESS PROGRAM, THE GREATER NEW ORLEANS IMMUNIZATION NETWORK (GNOIN), AND SLIDING FEE-SCALE HOUSING OPTIONS THROUGH HOGS HOUSE AND RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE.MATERNAL & INFANT HEALTH SERVICES: DUE TO RESOURCE CONSTRAINTS AND THE AVAILABILITY OF OTHER COMMUNITY RESOURCES MORE SPECIFICALLY FOCUSED ON MATERNAL HEALTH, WE DID NOT PRIORITIZE MATERNAL AND INFANT HEALTH AS A STANDALONE FOCUS. HOWEVER, RELATED NEEDS ARE INDIRECTLY SUPPORTED THROUGH PEDIATRIC ACCESS INITIATIVES AND EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT EDUCATION.SEXUAL HEALTH SERVICES: SEXUAL HEALTH SERVICES WERE NOT PRIORITIZED AS A STANDALONE INITIATIVE DUE TO RESOURCE CONSTRAINTS.CHRONIC DISEASE PREVENTION: CHRONIC DISEASE PREVENTION EFFORTS ARE EMBEDDED ACROSS OUR INITIATIVES RATHER THAN ISOLATED AS A SEPARATE FOCUS AREA. PROGRAMS SUPPORTING THIS GOAL INCLUDE THRIVEKIDS' SCHOOL-BASED WELLNESS PROGRAMMING, THE PARENTING CENTER'S CAREGIVER EDUCATION PROGRAMS, EXPANDED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND PRIMARY CARE ACCESS THROUGH ACADEMIC CLINIC AND THRIVEKIDS, AND THE FOOD PANTRY PROGRAM, WHICH SUPPORTS IMPROVED NUTRITION AND ADDRESSES FOOD INSECURITY AS A DRIVER OF CHRONIC DISEASE. 4 1 - BATON ROUGE CLINIC 720 CONNELL PLACE BATON ROUGE LA 70809 OUTPATIENT CLINIC 2 - LAFAYETTE CLINIC 1121 COOLIDGE STREET LAFAYETTE LA 70505 OUTPATIENT CLINIC 3 - MISSISSIPPI CLINIC 835 THAMES AVE BAY ST LOUIS MS 39520 OUTPATIENT CLINIC 4 - ALEXANDRIA CLINIC 211 4TH STREET ALEXANDRIA LA 71301 OUTPATIENT CLINIC PART I, LINE 3C: THE FOLLOWING FACTORS ARE CONSIDERED WHEN DETERMINING THE AMOUNT OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR WHICH A PATIENT IS ELIGIBLE BASED ON RESOURCES:- IF PATIENT IS HOMELESS THEY WILL AUTOMATICALLY QUALIFY;- IF THE PATIENT IS ALREADY DEEMED MEDICALLY INDIGENT AND RECEIVES BENEFITS FROM ANY MEDICAID PROGRAM THEY WILL AUTOMATICALLY QUALIFY;- INDIVIDUALS OR FAMILY NET WORTH, UTILIZING THE PATIENT'S INDIVIDUAL OR FAMILY INCOME,EMPLOYMENT STATUS, FAMILY SIZE, FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS INCLUDING LIVING EXPENSES AND OTHER ITEMS OF A REASONABLE AND NECESSARY NATURE; - MEDICAL HARDSHIP MAY ALSO BE DETERMINED FOR PATIENTS ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS.

PART VI, LINE 5: IN MARCH OF 1998, THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES RECOGNIZED THAT CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, WITH ITS RICHNESS OF TALENT AND PROGRAMS AND ITS FINANCIAL RESOURCES, WAS WELL POSITIONED TO IDENTIFY AND ADDRESS OBSTACLES TO THE WELFARE OF THE COMMUNITY'S CHILDREN. AN AD HOC COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD, LATER ESTABLISHED AS A STANDING COMMITTEE, WAS CHARGED WITH DEVELOPING AND MONITORING ALL COMPONENTS OF THE PLAN. TO THAT END, THE FOLLOWING REPRESENTS THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT PLAN OF CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL. THE MISSION OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT PLAN'S PROGRAMS IS TO ELIMINATE BARRIERS TO THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF INFANTS, CHILDREN, AND ADOLESCENTS IN THE COMMUNITY, PARTICULARLY THE NON-SERVED OR UNDERSERVED, BY EVALUATING, DEVELOPING, IMPLEMENTING, AND/OR PARTNERING ON INITIATIVES IN THE AREAS OF HEALTH CARE, HEALTH EDUCATION, HEALTH RESEARCH AND CHILD AND FAMILY HEALTH ADVOCACY.

A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF THE PATIENTS WHO UTILIZE HOSPITAL SERVICES RESIDE IN THIS AREA AND ARE THE MOST LIKELY BENEFICIARIES OF PROGRAMS ESTABLISHED. ANY PROGRAM THAT SIGNIFICANTLY AND MEASURABLY CONTRIBUTES TO THE PHYSICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING OF INFANTS, CHILDREN, ADOLESCENTS, AND THEIR FAMILIES IS CONSIDERED A BENEFIT. THIS IMPLIES A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ORGANIZATIONS THAT IS CHARACTERIZED BY MUTUAL COOPERATION AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE SPECIFIED GOALS WHEREIN CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL MAINTAINS THE AUTHORITY FOR OVERALL PROGRAM DIRECTION AND FISCAL MANAGEMENT. BY THIS DEFINITION, CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL WILL NOT ACT AS A GRANTING AGENCY. IN ADDITION, ONLY NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR PARTNERING.
