- Northwestern Memorial Hospital. The CHNA report also describes the 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 - 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.

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 hospital leadership. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - Northwestern Memorial 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. Northwestern Memorial Hospital adopted a new implementation strategy in FY2026 (TY 2025) in alignment with the most recent CHNA. For Line 11, we are reporting on CHNA FY2022 (TY 2021) corresponding with the CHIP FY2023 (TY2022) implementation strategies as this is the most recent outcomes data available. Priority Health Need 1: Behavioral Health Action 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 healthcare services helps 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 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. Northwestern Medicine (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 within 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. We have held several sessions with IMAN providers and staff to educate them on the model. To date, 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 FY25, we were able to finalize the collaborative care workflows with IMAN and identify an NM psychiatrist that would help to provide consultation and support. We officially launched the program in April 2025, and six patients were seen and of this amount, three were able to be discharged from the program. Action 2: Programming Assess behavioral health community programming needs to identify and implement appropriate programs. In 2025, through continuous feedback from patients and community partners, Northwestern Memorial Hospital (NMH) evolved its response to address the delivery of behavioral health programming and resources to underserved communities. The objective was to have a continued focus on delivering behavioral health programming, but with an additional dimension of connecting patients and community members to resources via comprehensive patient care navigation and support services. A key component to delivering behavioral health programming and connecting patients to resources has been the ability to build trust within communities through care outreach, education and partnering with local organizations. As part of its modified response efforts, NMH established a team of community support specialists and social workers to serve as trusted experts. This model approach will allow NMH to embed behavioral health care services more deeply into the patient care continuum. Additionally, plans were outlined to include staff training to strengthen their ability to recognize behavioral health concerns and to connect patients to appropriate resources. NMH plans to pilot this approach in September 2025 at its new Bronzeville Outpatient Center, located in the community of Bronzeville on the city's Southside. This location was selected because of its community center, which is unique to NMH, and allows the support specialists / social workers the opportunity to have authentic engagement with patients in a private setting where they can discuss their behavioral health concerns and be connected to wraparound services. Initial milestones and components outlined for this initiative include: 1. Prioritizing data tracking to ensure efforts evolve based on direct input from community partners and patients who are most impacted. 2. ensuring staff is culturally informed to aid, develop and grow trust with patients and community members. 3. ensuring staff have received appropriate training in Mental Health First Aid and FindHelp.org to connect patients with behavioral health and social programming. 4. defining a referral network to track all patient referrals who receive support via the Bronzeville pilot; and 5. partnering with community organizations like NAMI to help build capacity and develop a library of behavioral health education to help individuals feel supported in managing their mental health. As this work evolves, we look forward to sharing more information and data reporting regarding patient volume and referrals. Also, as we look to build capacity around the delivery of behavioral health education programming, we are collaborating to align program measures of success to be collected where potential measures could include domains such as number of programs offered, program attendance, patient / participant experience (i.e., gauging behavioral health program satisfaction, trust) and program quality or impact (i.e., change in understanding before / after). Action 3: Training Expand behavioral health training and education for Bright Star Community Outreach ambassadors. Northwestern Memorial Hospital provided funding support to Bright Star Community Outreach (BSCO) to help expand behavioral health training and education. Specific metrics yielded the following outcomes during the specified funding period: Trauma Ambassadors engaged 438 participants through their mental health trainings, workshops and outreach events aimed at destigmatizing mental health in Greater Bronzeville. 200 hours of direct services delivered by our Trauma Helpline Advocates. 2300 hours of direct service (i.e., individual and family counseling as well as parenting and anger management classes) delivered by our Family Advocacy Center counselors. Over 391 hours of direct counseling support provided by our CARE (Caring and Resilient Environment) Rooms in Chicago Public Schools. Approximately 150 students were served through our afterschool and summer programming (i.e., YIELD and STEAM DREAM). Our Choose 2 Change has served 52 students, delivering over 362 hours of mentorship. Graduated 34 parents from our Parent University, which seeks to empower parents in supporting their children and families and strengthening parent overall wellbeing. This funding has allowed for the creation of an additional program focused on men and youth empowerment, our Men's Legacy Lounge. This program averages 75 male attendees per event. Topics have included men's mental health, physical health, fatherhood and relationship dynamics with a focus on community building. 45 hours of staff training included, but not limited to Working with Black Youth and Families, Using Second Step Curriculum, Cultivating Joy in the Midst of Crisis, Building a Curriculum and Best Tips and Strategies for Working in Schools, Working with LGBTQ+ Youth and Families, Effective Communication, Accountability, Motivational Leadership, Effective Communication, and Conflict Resolution. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 2 Facility , 2 - Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Priority Need 2: Employment and Youth Development Action 1: Recruitment Expand recruitment outreach and measurable impact in under-resourced areas. In FY25, Northwestern Medicine (NM) continued to enhance efforts to expand awareness and engagement of under-resourced community members regarding NM employment and training opportunities. A geographical area of focus was north suburban Chicago (NM North Region), where we successfully engaged new partnerships and hired local job seekers, solidifying our community and talent pipelines in this area. These partnerships are instrumental in establishing enduring relationships and supporting workforce development within these communities.Despite a notable reduction in the number of open positions at NM in FY25 due to prevailing economic conditions, we successfully hired 74 community partner employees in FY25. Additionally, we were able to hire 5 students this year as permanent employees upon high school graduation through our youth pipeline programming. Action 2: Employment Mitigate accessibility barriers to Northwestern Medicine employment and training opportunities. In FY25, Northwestern Medicine supported various community engagement events throughout the year, including over 80 hiring events and workforce development training, in collaboration with local community organizations. These events allow Northwestern Medicine to have a physical presence in the communities we serve. In addition, they allow community job seekers access to NM resources, insights, and overall hospital community. The team was recognized for several prestigious awards including the National Association of Workforce Development Professionals (NAWDP) Employer of the Year as well as the Skills for Chicago Equitable Employer Award. Northwestern Medicine has again, strategically partnered with local community colleges, including City Colleges, College of DuPage, Valparaiso, Oakton, and College of Lake County, to develop Apprenticeship Programs for various roles such as Pharmacy Technicians, Certified Nursing Assistants, Community Health Workers, Information Services, and Medical Assistants. These apprenticeships combine on-the-job training with classroom instruction, enabling individuals to earn a wage while acquiring valuable skills and qualifications. NM had a 148% increase in our Apprenticeship Programs in 2025 compared to the previous year. We have also hired a dedicated Apprenticeship Specialist to manage and grow our programming. Northwestern Medicine has also just launched its first Employee Success Navigator program. Initially partnering with the phlebotomy department, new team members are given a survey to determine any needs they have beyond their scope of work including transportation support, food insecurity, childcare assistance. Our Employee Success Navigator is supporting them in the first 90 days and will remain a support as needed after. Finally, based on the successful employment programming at Northwestern Memorial Hospital NM is actively working to identify and collaborate with other community-based organizations in the South and West Regions to further support and strengthen these efforts. Doing so ensures success in workforce development and community engagement in this region. Action 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. The NM Grosvenor Discovery Program is designed for high school students, ages 15+, who are 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 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 FY25, Northwestern Memorial Hospital was able to successfully target, recruit and enroll 98 students, to drive youth awareness and knowledge of healthcare and science professions and provide guidance through mentorship support.Additionally, in the first year of this triennial cycle, 46% of students admitted to NMH's pipeline programs were representative of students from Chicago's South and West sides. During FY25 and in response to capacity constraints observed around admission to our NM Discovery and NM Scholars programs, Northwestern Memorial Hospital 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. The "Healthcare is Calling Roadshow" had over 14,117 students attend, and NMH was able to share insight regarding educational paths and potential earnings for specific careers, and students were able to engage with experienced professionals and explore a range of healthcare careers that may not have been previously considered. Northwestern Memorial Hospital identified another new opportunity and alternate pathway where students can gain a more intimate understanding of healthcare. We partnered with the Anesthesiology team to pilot a program where students will receive 3-4 touchpoints with one department, one of the touchpoints being a hands-on experience at NMH. These interactions include case studies, pathway/career knowledge, and an opportunity to speak with healthcare professionals. NMH piloted this program at George Westinghouse College Prep, impacting 22 students. We are now expanding to John Hancock College Prep with our Pathology team. Lastly, as part of NMH's vision to offer enriching experiences, we set a goal of strengthening and developing our youth pipeline by providing students with access to internships and work experiences that would allow for greater exposure while meeting students where they are in their career exploration process. In FY25, NMH awarded a total of 66 internships to students to help improve their career readiness capabilities. In FY25, NMH hired 8 students through pipeline programs. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 3 Facility , 3 - Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Priority Need 3: Violence and Community Safety Action 1: Connection to Community Resources Implement a hospital-based violence intervention program in the Northwestern Memorial Hospital Emergency Department. The Community Health Coordinator at Northwestern Memorial Hospital has a crucial role in supervising intensive case management, guiding individuals from hospital response through enrollment and follow-up. By maintaining relationships with community-based organizations dedicated to violence prevention and intervention, The Community Health Coordinator is committed to establishing pathways for healing. Collection of patient-level data helps evaluate how services can effectively reduce violence and injury while improving health outcomes. Connecting needs assessment data with Northwestern Memorial Hospital data enhances referral practices, needs assessments, and survivor services. In FY25, the NMH Community Health Coordinator continues to oversee the entire process from hospital response to patient enrollment and follow-up, maintaining partnerships with organizations focused on violence prevention. The Community Health Coordinator gathers comprehensive patient-level data regarding accessed services, injury recidivism, health outcomes, and social determinants of health inequities-both prior to and following service delivery. This data analysis provides strategies to mitigate violence and injury and promote better health outcomes. The needs assessment data, linked to NMH data, supports the refinement of referral practices, needs assessments, and survivor services. Needs assessment data show the highest needs for patients are medical home, food security, and utilities. Staff members discuss confidentiality protocols with patients and present consent forms to interested individuals. Patients receive resource packets containing a program brochure, crime victim resource sheet, information on trauma services, a PTSD pamphlet, crime victim compensation details and application, and other tailored resources. Staff address patients' immediate needs, including navigating relevant services alongside the treatment team and facilitating contact with family members. Building rapport with patients is essential; staff employ motivational interviewing techniques, reflective listening, and open-ended questions. The approach is trauma-informed and individualized. While staff do not coercively press patients unwilling to discuss the incident, they assess immediate safety risks for patients and their families. Additional services include a program that educates patients and their families about gun safety, providing 3,561 gun locks to promote secure storage and connects families with necessary services. A voucher program through Northwestern Medicine Community Affairs offers transportation to medical appointments related to injuries, social services, and job interviews, though some limitations apply for non-medical appointments. The Community Health Coordinator collaborates with Acclivus, Inc., to deliver outpatient treatment with licensed clinical social workers for patients screening positive for PTSD or depression, with assessments conducted three months post-injury. Northwestern Medicine Transitional Care offers survivors of violence four complimentary visits for primary care evaluations and screenings related to social determinants of health. There were 19 referrals to the Transitional Care Clinic (TCC). Through the Hospital Violent Injury Prevention Program (HVIP), tattoo removal has been identified as a critical service for clients at high risk of intentional interpersonal violence. Consequently, the NMH Dermatology Department provides free laser tattoo removal, with eligible candidates having a palm-sized blue or black tattoo on a visible body part, up to ten sessions. In FY25, 1,167 tattoo assessments were completed, reflecting strong interest in the program. The coordinator is also pursuing service expansion, including providing food vouchers for families in need. Collaboration with Northwestern Medicine Community Affairs and the Greater Chicago Food Depository continues to facilitate this effort. Furthermore, staff refer patients to partners for housing and childcare support, primarily working with Catholic Charities, Bright Horizons, and Enlace. A pilot program for comprehensive outpatient addiction treatment, in coordination with the Northwestern Medicine Department of Psychiatry, is currently underway. Finally, staff partner with the Northwestern University Center for Dissemination and Implementation Science to offer a parenting skills curriculum targeted at patients, families, and community members interested in developing effective parenting strategies to disrupt cycles of intergenerational violence.

Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 3 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - NORTHWESTERN LAKE FOREST HOSPITAL. The CHNA report also describes the 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 - 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.

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. Catherine Gratz Griffin Lake Forest Hospital adopted a new implementation strategy in FY2026 (TY 2025) in alignment with the most recent CHNA. For Line 11, we are reporting on CHNA FY2022 (TY 2021) corresponding with CHIP FY2023 (TY2022) implementation strategies as this is the most recent outcomes data available. Priority Need 1: Behavioral Health Action 1: Access Improve access to behavioral health services in Lake County by expanding capacity at Outpatient Behavioral Health Services and community-based organizations. Through partnership, the Catherine Gratz Griffin Lake Forest Hospital provided funding for operational capacity and continued to support the implementation of an additional Behavioral Health Care Coordinator with The Josselyn Center. Both coordinators create immediate connections with patients being discharged from Catherine Gratz Griffin Lake Forest Hospital and Grayslake Outpatient Center settings to establish care at the Josselyn Center. Through June of 2025, more than 646 patients were referred for assessment and care. Since the beginning of our partnership, a total of 1,853 unduplicated individuals were referred using the workflow between Catherine Gratz Griffin Lake Forest Hospitaland the Josselyn Center. Grant funding has been used as allocated in the agreed upon budget for operating expenses, services for under/uninsured patients and administrative costs. Action 2: Education Expand behavioral health preventive and educational resources in collaboration with community organizations. Our stress management and Mindfulness programming provides education on stress and its effect on health and teach participants how to manage stress through exercise and lifestyle modification. In addition to stress management and mindfulness, participants complete goal setting classes over the course of to set goals and monitor behavior change. Participants also learned about the benefits of yoga, deep breathing and meditation exercises. Through our established partnership with Beacon Place in Waukegan, we were able to offer more than 200 hours of programming for 25 adults and 200 children focused on mindfulness and mental health. Action 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 parts of our programming to make it more culturally appropriate for the audience we were serving. Changes were made to the content for two cooking classes that were held in person to allow for better translation, and requests were provided by the community for recipes to modify or demonstrate. 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, including additional staff at community programming and incorporating changes based on feedback received. Priority Need 2: Employment and Youth Development Action 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 Northwestern Medicine (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 Catherine Gratz Griffin Lake Forest Hospital and other off-site locations. In FY25, the Discovery Program hosted a cohort of 45 students for 8 sessions. More than 75% of the students were from school districts in under resourced communities within Lake County. In addition to the yearlong cohort, Catherine Gratz Griffin Lake Forest Hospital hosted 18 interns placed at our hospital, and at our Grayslake and Glenview campuses in different operating units. The students had the opportunity to shadow with more than 30 hospital staff members and participated in Lunch and Learns with teams throughout Catherine Gratz Griffin Lake Forest Hospital, Grayslake, Glenview staff and our NM System Innovation Team. Our Learning and Simulation Center hosted 11 different groups, with approximately 286 students total to learn and explore healthcare careers. The Josselyn Center Camp NEEKA, Stevenson High School Summer Class, Highland Park High School Med Club and others visited to learn hands-on skills and hear from staff about their career paths. Action 2: Employment Readiness Expand pathways to employment at Lake Forest Hospital for applicants who do not have a bachelor's degree. Catherine Gratz Griffin Lake Forest Hospital community recruiting and professional development staff attended 11 career fairs at Mano a Mano, College of Lake County (CLC) and Lake Forest College to recruit members of the community into entry level positions. To continue to recruit applicants who do not have a bachelor's degree, positions continue to be evaluated to determine if changes can be made to education requirements. Our Youth Programming team and volunteers attended nine career fairs at local high schools and Lake County Tech Campus and successfully recruited and retained individuals into entry level positions. We successfully transitioned 5 students from the NM Discovery and North Chicago Work Study programs to full or part-time employment at Northwestern Medicine in various departments. Lake Forest Hospital worked with 19 pre-nursing students from Lake Forest College to provide an empathy enrichment program. Students spent eight weeks over the summer completing training that could be used towards their overall curriculum. Action 3: Employment Readiness Support community organizations focused on employment readiness. Catherine Gratz Griffin Lake Forest Hospital has continued to grow its partnership with North Chicago High School providing placement for eight students through their work study program for six months of the year. The students are on campus at Catherine Gratz Griffin Lake Forest Hospital with supply chain, Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute, patient transport, and food nutrition team two days a week for three hours a day. During this time, students work side by side with an employee developing working skills specific to their areas and transferable to their future careers. Of the eight students who interned, three students remained at Catherine Gratz Griffin Lake Forest Hospital over the summer to continue gaining work experience. Two of those three students were offered permanent positions and continue to pursue their bachelor's degrees. Through Team NM, volunteers partnered with the CLC Tech Campus to provide assessment to 1:1 clinical skill through their medical assistant (MA) Team Challenge. These students gained two hours toward their cumulative total of required hours to sit for state licensure. 10 participants from Youth Build Lake County and 26 participants from INSPIRE at Rosalind Franklin University also visited the Catherine Gratz Griffin Lake Forest Hospital Simulation Center to learn more about healthcare career opportunities and participate in hands-on activities related to careers of their choosing.INSPIRE students participated in clinical simulations to practice the skills they learned over the summer ahead of the CNA exam licensure. They worked in small groups with Catherine Gratz Griffin Lake Forest Hospital clinical professionals to review their CNA practicum skills.

Priority Need 3: Nutrition, Physical Activity and Weight Action 1: Access Promote access to nutrition, education and food (including fresh produce) in collaboration with community organizations. Catherine Gratz Griffin Lake Forest Hospital provided referrals to local fresh food collaboratives using our Social Drivers of Health (SDOH) screening tool which returned 214 requests for help locating food. 83% of those patients requested assistance with food resources. Out of 17,383 patients screened, 14.5% patients reported concerns and 9.2% of patients requested assistance. There were 1404 Social Worker or Case Management follow-ups to patients who were screened. In partnership with Elawa Farms of Lake Forest our Transitional Care Clinic patients received freshly harvested vegetables, dried food and eggs throughout the Summer. 25 patients were connected to Elawa Farms to participate in their fresh produce program. NM also partnered with Elawa Farmsto identify three community partners in Lake County to receive fresh produce boxes. Both the Catherine Gratz Griffin Lake Forest Hospital and Grayslake Emergency Department had NARCAN distribution boxes installed. The Grayslake Emergency Department distributed 480 kits and the Catherine Gratz Griffin Lake Forest Hospital department distributed 192 kits. In addition to the distribution boxes, 9 NARCAN educational events were held for 28 people, and 61 kits were distributed. Action 2: Awareness Support community efforts to promote physical fitness. In partnership with our Catherine Gratz Griffin Lake Forest Hospital Fitness Center and Beacon Place, we brought a local mom's group to campus for a quarterly group fitness class and health education. The mom's group received resistance 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. There are 25 consistent moms who participate in programming. Catherine Gratz Griffin Lake Forest Hospital in partnership with Heart of the City participated in "Suits vs Cleats" to promote their soccer program which not only keeps youth active and developing as an athlete but also a member of the community. 30 employees participated in two scrimmages and 6 volunteers helped measure family members for bike helmets to promote safe exercise through bike riding. 200 total helmets were given to North Chicago and Waukegan community members. Action 3: Education Increase consistency of chronic disease prevention education between Northwestern Medicine and community organizations. In FY25, a partnership between Northwestern Medicine Community Affairs and the Northwestern McGaw Family Medicine Residency Programcontinued to grow to support their community medicine curriculum. Each year our family medicine residents 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. In FY25, more than 4 needs assessments were completed for local organizations such as Waukegan Township, Mosaic House, Roberti House and Mano a Mano. Health education sessions were developed in partnership with organization leaders on topics such as sleep health, influenza, respiratory illnesses, HPV vaccines, exercise education and concussions. Family medicine residents supported the National Kidney Foundation screening in partnership with Roberti House by providing 300+ kidney screenings which included A1C screening, Kidney Function, BMI, Blood Pressure and same day 1:1 physician consult. One emergency referral was made to the Catherine Gratz Griffin Lake Forest Hospital for a patient with chronic kidney disease, who resulted in a transitions of care referral and a successful launch to a medical home. Action 4: Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Care Identify and implement ways to improve cultural and linguistic appropriateness of nutrition, physical activity and weight programs. In FY25, Northwestern Medicine continued to make significant progress in this strategy to improve access to care at Northwestern Medicine, meet our patients' diverse needs and improve overall equity for patients, the community and workforce.

The CHNA report also describes the 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.

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 - CENTRAL DUPAGE HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION. 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 - DELNOR-COMMUNITY HOSPITAL. The CHNA report also describes the 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 - 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: Kane County Health Department, Tri City Health Partnership, TriCity Family Services, VNA Health Care, Aurora Interfaith Food Pantry, Northern Illinois Food Bank, and Well Child Center. The timeline for community engagement is described below and is reflected in Appendix C of the CHNA report: The community input survey was open from October 2023 to January 2024. Focus groups were held January to February 2024. Interviews with community members were held February to March 2024. The community engagement council convened in April 2024 to prioritize health needs. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 6a Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - DELNOR COMMUNITY 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 hospital leadership. 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 Need 1: Access to Health Care Action 1: Capacity Provide more support for federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) and free and charitable care clinics. Utilizing a third-party software, Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital, in collaboration with Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and Free and Charitable Clinics, is able to assess the number of patients that seek medical care in the Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital Emergency Department (ED) and inpatient setting. During the time frame it was identified that there were 17 self-identified patients from Access DuPage that received care in the ED and as inpatients. Additionally, there were 3,244 self-identified patients from VNA that utilized Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital ED. One hundred thirty-one VNA patients were admitted to Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital for inpatient care. Having this information is helpful to ensure that our most vulnerable patients receive adequate and timely care. Action 2: Grants and Donations Provide funding to community organizations and programs that provide healthcare services and resources to populations that have historically had limited access to these resources. The Elderday Center's Power of Dementia Friendly Adult Day Programs offers support services to vulnerable seniors in the tri-cities and their family caregivers. Funding to this program assists Elderday by continuing to provide and expand on-site nurses who oversee medication management and physical health, staff trained in dementia and memory loss care, as well as social workers who assess for signs of depression and anxiety for their Seniors. Lazarus House offers shelter services for homeless individuals, including emergency shelter, a center for transitional living, case management, and referrals to community agencies that assist with medical, dental, and mental health needs. Funding from Northwestern Medicine helps Lazarus House achieve its primary goal of expanding services to address the growing demand. The Well Child Center aims to enhance pediatric dental care and improve access to nutritious food for underserved children and vulnerable families. With Northwestern Medicine's support, they plan to extend their clinic hours to include Saturdays and evenings, better accommodating the needs of the families they serve. Action 3: Community Education and Programs Deliver community-based screenings and educational programs. Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital offered 26 community-oriented screenings and health education initiatives, which featured breast health education, cooking classes, flu vaccination clinics, nutrition programs, blood pressure assessments, and A1c screenings, serving a total of 491 individuals. Action 4: Social Determinants of Health Collaborate with community organizations to help remove barriers to care. The Aurora Area Interfaith Food Pantry's Nourishing Lives program focuses on providing access to fresh food while addressing the growing challenge of food insecurity. Rising inflation and other factors have led to an ongoing increase in the demand for food assistance at the Aurora Food Pantry. Funding from Northwestern Medicine helps ensure that they can maintain the quantity of food available to every family that relies on their services. The mission of Food for Greater Elgin is to ensure that everyone has access to fresh, high-quality groceries in a welcoming environment. In light of rising food costs and increased demand for food pantries, support from Northwestern Medicine enables Food for Greater Elgin to enhance their client-choice food pantry. This will empower families to select the items that best meet their dietary and cultural needs. The mission of the Marie Wilkinson Food Pantry is to address the nutritional needs of children, the elderly, low-income residents, and individuals with disabilities in Kane County. As part of their program, they participate in Food Rescue, which enables them to prevent near-expiration products from ending up in landfills. With support from Northwestern Medicine, Marie Wilkinson utilizes the additional funding to supply essential household items such as laundry detergent, toilet paper, adult sanitary products, diapers, wipes, and pet supplies. Priority Need 2: Behavioral Health Action 1: Capacity Collaborate with community organizations to improve access to behavioral health services. During the past year, Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital provided staff time and resources to support efforts that improves access to behavioral health services by participating in workgroup activities and supporting related initiatives. The Kane County Behavioral Health Council is a collaborative group of mental health service providers in Kane County, working alongside the Kane County Health Department. The council aims to streamline services and enhance the responsiveness of the system by uniting provider organizations, mental health authorities, advocacy groups, and public officials. Action 2: Community Education and Programs Expand community-based behavioral health preventive and educational programs. Informed the community about behavioral health by increasing the number of organizations and community members in Kane County that complete the Mental Health First Aid course, QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) training, and the Your Choice: Wake Up Call Backpack program. This initiative raises awareness and reduces stigma surrounding mental health and substance use. During this period, five classes were conducted with a total of 97 participants. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 2 Facility , 2 - DELNOR-COMMUNITY HOSPITAL. Priority Need 3: Substance Use Disorders Action 1: Community Education and Programs 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 Delnor Hospital collaborates with the Kane County Health Department on an educational and distribution initiative aimed at preventing overdose deaths. Naloxone, a medication approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), is intended to quickly reverse opioid overdoses. Over the past year, two Drug Take Back Days were organized in the service area of Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital, focusing on medication collection, which resulted in 104 pounds of medication being gathered. Additionally, the medication collection box in the Delnor emergency department collected 813 pounds of medication. Throughout the year, Naloxone education and Narcan kit distribution occurred at the Delnor Emergency Room Kiosk and various community programs, leading to the distribution of 63 Narcan kits at community events and 180 kits taken from the Delnor Emergency Room Kiosk. Action 2: Community Education and Programs Provide patients who are seeking treatment for alcohol and drug dependency and addiction issues with peer support and motivation through the Peer Recovery Program. Assist patients with identifying appropriate community support services throughout their hospitalization and immediate post-discharge to facilitate the attainment of goals. To further the mission of meeting the needs of community members who arrive at Delnor Hospital with substance use disorders, Peer Recovery Specialists have been integrated into the Emergency Department (ED). The Peer Recovery program is designed to assist patients in identifying, connecting with, and accessing appropriate community support services. This is achieved through specialists who have personal experience with addiction, are trained, and serve as mentors, advocates, and role models while providing support. During the past year, 832 patients were referred to and seen by a Peer Recovery Specialist. Action 3: Capacity Collaborate with community organizations to improve access to education and resources for substance use disorders. Ecker Center for Behavioral Health has been chosen as one of the participants in the State of Illinois Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's (SAMHSA) Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs) Demonstration Program. This opportunity will enable them to expand their programming, enhance their reach, and access the Prospective Payment System, a reimbursement method that determines Medicaid payments. Funding from Northwestern Medicine helps them acquire the necessary technology to support their increased staffing requirements. Fox Valley United Way's SPARK (Strong, Prepared and Ready for Kindergarten) playgroups are research-based, interactive sessions designed for parents and children, aimed at promoting social-emotional development, strengthening parent-child relationships, and providing vital early learning experiences. Funding is being utilized to expand these playgroups, specifically targeting underserved families in Aurora with children aged 0-5 who are experiencing economic difficulties, language barriers, and limited access to early childhood services. These families are particularly vulnerable to mental health challenges due to the stress and trauma associated with poverty, as well as the immigrant experience and obstacles to obtaining mental health care. Suicide Prevention Services of America (SPSA) is committed to addressing critical issues through counseling, support, educational initiatives, and suicide prevention presentations. Given the socio-economic challenges and insufficient mental health services affecting Kane County residents, preventing suicide is essential, and access to life-saving care must be universally available, regardless of financial barriers. SPSA used funding from Northwestern Medicine to maintain and expand its programs and services designed to prevent suicide and improve mental health care accessibility. This includes sustaining vital services such as counseling, crisis intervention, a hotline, and educational presentations. Additionally, the funding will enhance outreach to underserved and bicultural communities, with a focus on providing bilingual and culturally competent services. TriCity Family Services aims to strengthen individuals and build community by offering quality, affordable counseling, youth crisis intervention, prevention, and early intervention services that promote mental well-being and effective family functioning. Funding from Northwestern Medicine supports the increasing number of clients and their families served annually at TCFS. Additionally, TCFS will continue to specialize in family-centered counseling for children and adolescents, provide short-term counseling for adults and couples, and ensure access to on-site psychiatric services and Spanish-language support. They also offer a Family-Based Treatment for Eating Disorders (FBT), which is an evidence-based program. 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 not addressing are listed below. Alzheimer's Disease: This need is addressed through the hospital care delivery system. Cancer: This need is addressed through the hospital care delivery system. Cardiovascular Disease: This need is addressed through the hospital care delivery system. Diabetes: This need is addressed through the hospital care delivery system. Food Access: This need is better addressed by community organizations specializing in this field. Homelessness and Housing: This need is better addressed by community organizations specializing in this field. Obesity: This need is addressed through the hospital care delivery system. Transportation: This need is better addressed by community organizations specializing in this field. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 13 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - DELNOR-COMMUNITY HOSPITAL.

The CHNA report also describes the 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 - 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: DeKalb County Health Department, DCCG/Rooted for Good, and Fox Valley Adult Services. The timeline for community engagement is described below and is reflected in Appendix C of the CHNA report: The community input survey was open from October 2023 to January 2024. Focus groups were held January to February 2024. Interviews with community members were held March to April 2024. The community engagement council convened in April 2024 to prioritize health needs.

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 Need 1: Access to Health Care Action 1: Grants and Donations Provide funding to community organizations and programs that provide healthcare services and resources to populations that have historically had limited access to these resources. Northwestern Medicine Valley West Hospital has a strong commitment to engagement through its efforts to support organizations to improve the overall health of the community. We partner with community organizations that provide access to nutritious food, shelter and other essentials to help build stronger and healthier communities. The Kishwaukee United Way works to provide a better quality of life for the communities they serve. Their nonprofits specifically engage with under-resourced, underserved, and otherwise disadvantaged populations in DeKalb County. This past year Northwestern Medicine Valley West Hospital provided funding to support United Way's 2-1-1 information and referral program. 211 is transforming the way Kishwaukee United Way helps thousands of residents connect with essential health and human services, improving and saving lives. This donation will continue to support our free 211 human service program, which provides DeKalb County residents with immediate assistance, including help locating housing, food pantries, job assistance, mental health referrals, medical care, childcare, and more. Funding supports marketing and outreach, 211 human service pocket cards, a 24/7 call center, 211 kiosks, and partner agencies equipped with 211 programming for the families they serve. Together, we are helping individuals move from surviving to thriving. Action 2: Community Education and Programs Deliver community-based screenings and educational programs. Northwestern Medicine Valley West Hospital partners 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 provided flu vaccination clinics, blood pressure screenings, A1C screenings, and culinary health classes in the Valley West Hospital service area. During this timeframe, there were four flu vaccination clinics hosted with 70 individuals receiving flu vaccinations. There were 21 blood pressure screenings conducted, reaching 263 individuals. Of those individuals, 63.4% had results considered to be high risk, and they were given education concerning stroke. In addition, there were 13 A1C clinics conducted, reaching 132 participants, where 27.3% fell in the prediabetic range and 9.1% fell in the over-diabetic range. Action 3: Social Determinants of Health Collaborate with community organizations to help remove barriers to care. Rooted for Good, a DeKalb County nonprofit, is dedicated to ending hunger, empowering individuals, and strengthening community connections through food access, education, and sustainable food systems. In partnership with Northwestern Medicine, we collaborated at three recurring food pantry sites, hosting 18 blood pressure clinics that reached 128 community members. Of those screened, 46 were identified in the range of Stage 2 hypertension, and 56 received life-saving stroke education, highlighting the critical need for accessible cardiovascular health services in our community. Priority Need 2: Behavioral Health Action 1: Community Education and Programs Provide a calm and safe environment through The Living Room at Ben Gordon Center, where guests can resolve crises without intensive intervention. Northwestern Medicine Valley West Hospital partnered with NM 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 associated and no appointment needed for this service, and it is available to any DeKalb County residents aged 18 or older. As a result of this program, there were 2,885 visits to The Living Room with 372 unique clients totaling 5,557 hours. Action 2: Community Education and Programs Expand community-based behavioral health preventive and educational programs. Mental Health First Aid is a full-day course that teaches participants how to recognize and respond to developing mental health or substance use situations or crises.

NM Behavioral Health Services offered 2 classes reaching 37 participants. In addition, the community programming team offered 4 Mental Health First Aid courses, 1 QPR training which is an emergency mental health intervention designed to interrupt a suicide crisis and direct the person to proper professional care, as well as delivering 13 Narcan trainings in person and virtually. Action 3: Capacity Collaborate with community organizations to improve access to behavioral health services. QPR training stands for Question, Persuade, Refer. It is a suicide-prevention training program that teaches people how to recognize warning signs, have a safe conversation, and connect with someone to help. QPR training teaches people how to recognize warning signs of suicide and respond by asking questions, offering support, and referring individuals to help. This new behavioral health program was presented to 16 individuals with a 96 percent likely to recommend. Priority Need 3: Cardiovascular Disease Action 1: Community Education and Programs Deliver community-based cardiovascular disease screening, education and programs. The Leishman Center for Culinary Health is an innovative teaching kitchen that promotes healthy living through food. Culinary instructors and registered dietitians offered a range of demonstrations and classes, aimed at lowering the risks associated with chronic disease such as cardiovascular disease. During this timeframe, the Leishman Center offered 174 classes, in both a virtual and in-person setting. Topics included Heart Healthy Dinners, Heart Healthy Summer Picnic Sides, and Heart Smart Cooking. In a post program survey, 99.2 % of participants reported having an increase in knowledge. Action 2: Capacity Expand community-based programs that provide cardiovascular disease education, programs and services.

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 Health Care Action 1: Capacity Provide more support for federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) and free and charitable care clinics. Utilizing a third-party software, Northwestern Medicine Marianjoy Rehabilitation 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 Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital inpatient setting. During the timeframe, it was identified that there were five self-identified patients from Access DuPage that received care in the inpatient setting. Additionally, there were 59 self-identified patients from VNA that were admitted to Northwestern Medicine Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital for inpatient care. Having this information is helpful to ensure that our most vulnerable patients receive adequate and timely care. Action 2: Grants and Donations Provide funding to community organizations and programs that provide healthcare services and resources to populations that have historically had limited access to these resources. Northwestern Medicine (NM) offers donations and grants to nonprofit organizations and charitable community groups that are based in the community and focused on addressing community needs. NM has provided funding to Easterseals of DuPage & Fox Valley for their Integrated Behavior and Mental Health Program to support children with developmental disabilities and their families. This funding will help low-income, underinsured, and uninsured families. The program will offer psychological and social support to help children and parents manage grief, stress, anxiety, and emotional challenges related to disabilities. Services include case coordination, parent support, psychosocial assistance from social workers, networking and support groups, and access to educational classes and a resource library. The Ray Graham Association for People with Disabilities offers Medical Expense Assistance for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). Funding from the NM grant will help bridge financial gaps that prevent these individuals from accessing medical care. It will cover medical expenses such as dental, vision, medication, medical equipment, and other healthcare needs for those in our residential program. This support will ensure timely medical care with dignity, allowing individuals to use their limited monthly allowance for other personal care and living expenses. The Spectrios Institute for Low Vision expanded access to low vision rehabilitation. Funding from NM will support comprehensive rehabilitation for individuals with permanent vision impairment. The support will help low-income individuals access eye exams, diagnoses, prescription optical devices, occupational therapy, and training on adaptive technology. Conditions such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and retinitis pigmentosa can greatly affect independence, mental health, and job opportunities and this program aims to restore independence, lower long-term healthcare costs by preventing injuries, and enhance overall quality of life. Synapse House implemented automatic door openers for the front entry and restrooms to improve access throughout the facility. Funding from NM helped make essential building modifications that significantly enhance accessibility for adults and veterans with physical impairments resulting from brain injuries, strokes, and other neurological conditions. This upgrade will ensure that their facility is more welcoming and navigable, allowing everyone to access the building and restrooms with greater ease and independence. By removing barriers to entry, they were able to create a more inclusive environment for all visitors and members to access the healthcare they needed. The Western DuPage Special Recreation Association Foundation received NM funding to support the ongoing operation and growth of its Inclusion Services, which are expanding to meet rising demand. This funding covered the costs of hiring support staff, interpreters, and field supervisors, as well as their training. Inclusion Services promote a greater sense of independence and focus on addressing the unique needs, interests, and abilities of each individual. Overall, these efforts will aim to improve the quality of life for everyone involved. Action 3: Community Education and Programs Deliver community-based screenings and educational programs. . The Northwestern Medicine ThinkFirst Injury Prevention has a mission to to prevent brain, spinal cord, and other traumatic injuries through education, research, and advocacy.

For NM ThinkFirst for Youth at the elementary level, there were 11 presentations with 252 participants; for junior high school, there were 25 presentations with 1,730 participants; and for NM ThinkFirst for high school, 113 presentations engaged 3,998 students. Additionally, the NM Injury Prevention team organized 22 virtual car seat education classes, attended by 191 individuals, and participated in six community events, where they operated a safety booth that provided bike safety, pedestrian safety, and injury prevention education to 2,815 attendees. They also conducted recertification sessions for child passenger safety, with five attendees, including a staff member from Northwestern Medicine Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital. The team hosted car seat education distribution events, where they checked 533 car seats, 18 from Northwestern Medicine Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital, with a total of 291 donated car seats, including three for Northwestern Medicine Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital. Throughout these events, 400 participants were helped, 20 of whom were affiliated with Northwestern Medicine Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital. Northwestern Medicine Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital provides support and resource groups at 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, Connections Teen and Young Adult Brain Injury Support Group, Stroke Support Group, MS Support Group, Amputee Social Group, Aphasia Support Group, Stroke Support Group. All the support groups have adopted a hybrid model of virtual and in-person. In partnership with Dare2Tri, a non-profit organization focused on adaptive sports and dedicated to enabling athletes of all abilities to engage in physical activities through recreation, competition, and community events, a Road2Ride session was held in collaboration with the Northwestern Medicine Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital Spinal Injury Cord Support Group.

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 the 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 - 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 Health and Wellness, Community Health Partnership of Illinois, Crystal Lake Food Pantry, Cultivating Health Ministries, Family Health Partnership Clinic, Home of the Sparrow, McHenry County Department of Health, NAMI McHenry County, New Directions Addiction Recovery Services, Northern Illinois Recovery Center, United Way of Greater McHenry County, and Youth and Family Center of McHenry County. The timeline for community engagement is described below and is reflected in Appendix C of the CHNA report: The community input survey was open from September to December 2022. Focus groups were held April to May 2023. Interviews with community members were held in April 2023. The community engagement council convened in May 2023 to prioritize health needs. 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 distributed to hospital 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 Health Need 1: Access to Care and Community Resources Action 1: Address Capacity Evaluate and expand internal capacity through the Northwestern Medicine strategic planning processes. The Northwestern Medicine (NM) strategic plan, called NM 2035: Better from Discovery to Delivery, includes one of five pillars specifically designed to "deepen relationships with our community to improve health equity." In support, NM Community Affairs has intentionally developed opportunities to engage clinical teams throughout the region, educating them in the ways they can participate in community initiatives and outreach while increasing NM's presence outside of the clinical setting and creating meaningful connections with individuals who need resources to support their health and wellness. In fiscal year 2025, we addressed Northwestern Medicine Huntley Hospital, Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital and Northwestern Medicine Woodstock Hospital leadership councils, nursing leadership councils, and sent communication to the regional medical staff with a call to action to volunteer time and talent by offering screenings and vaccination clinics to those community members in need. Additionally, the NM Community Affairs Programming Team offered three A1C clinics with a total of 64 participants (28% at risk for pre-diabetes or higher); 10 blood pressure clinics with a total of 139 participants (81.3% at risk for pre-hypertension or higher); eight influenza vaccine clinics with a total of 259 patients; and six educational Narcan events, where 50 people were educated and 52 Narcan kits were distributed. The team also installed three Narcan vending machines in the Northwestern Medicine emergency departments, resulting in 924 kids being distributed to the community. Northwestern Medicine continues to impact access to care through financial and in-person support of Cultivating Health Ministries (CHM), with Northwestern Medicine's Nathan Kakish, M.D., as the Medical Director. The program partners with faith communities to create their health ministry, providing integrated, evidence-based, chronic disease programs, education, patient and family-caregiver support, community resources, health screenings, free monitoring equipment/training and counseling services (i.e., nutrition, insurance, mental health) to promote disease prevention/management for individuals with, or at risk for, Type 2 diabetes, and co-morbid health conditions. In fiscal year 2025, with financial support from Northwestern Medicine, CHM served minority, low-income and underserved residents in McHenry County. Action 2: Address Capacity Provide more support for federally qualified health centers and free and charitable care clinics. Northwestern Medicine Huntley Hospital, Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital and Northwestern Medicine Woodstock Hospital grew opportunities for collaboration with Aunt Martha's, a federally qualified health center, and with Family Health Partnership Clinic, a free and charitable health clinic. Through these relationships, community members who are uninsured or do not have a designated medical home can receive primary and preventive services at these local clinical sites. Northwestern Medicine supports these partnerships through regular communication, as well as through financial and in-kind support. Catie Schmit, President of Northwestern Medicine McHenry and Woodstock Hospitals, serves on the Family Health Partnership Clinic Board of Directors and has created opportunities for cross collaboration. NM Community Affairs was a guest during the board's annual retreat to provide an overview of the Community Health Needs Assessment process, priority needs, and the Community Health Implementation Plan. Action 3: Education and Programming Delivery community-based screening, education, and care linkage supported by Northwestern Medicine internal medicine residents and Northwestern Medicine clinicians. With the support from the NM Healthier Communities Grant and joint effort with the McHenry County Department of Health, Cultivating Health Ministries, and the Northern Illinois Food Bank, we were able to operate mobile food clinics at Community Health Partnership in Harvard. Once a month, support is offered to individuals and families in need throughout Harvard and the surrounding areas. From September 2024 through August 2025, we reached a total of 1,512 households and approximately 6,226 individuals, helping to provide essential resources to the community. In partnership with the NM Community Affairs Programming Team, Northwestern Medicine provided A1C clinics, blood pressure clinics, and Mental Health First Aid classes in support of expanding access to care for those most in need within the community: We held three A1C clinics with a total of 64 participants. Of those, 28% had pre-diabetic range A1C levels. These clinics took place at both the Crystal Lake Food Pantry and Youth and Family Center of McHenry County. We conducted 10 blood pressure clinics with a total of 139 participants, 81.3% of whom were classified as high risk. These clinics were held at the Crystal Lake Food Pantry and the Harvard Mobile Rx food distribution at Community Health Partnership. We offered one Diabetes Prevention Program in Woodstock with 15 participants. The program received 100% increase in knowledge, 100% reporting confidence and 100% likelihood to recommend the program to someone else. NM health educators provided six education events with 50 individuals in attendance and 52 Narcan kits distributed. Three Narcan vending machines were also installed in Northwestern Medicine Woodstock, McHenry and Huntley Hospital Emergency Departments with a total of 924 kits distributed. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 2 Facility , 2 - NORTHERN ILLINOIS MEDICAL CENTER. Action 4: Grants and Donations Provide funding and other support for community-led health screening, education and navigation programs. Northwestern Medicine awarded competitive grant funding to the following community organizations in support of screening, education and navigation programs to benefit those most in need throughout the county and surrounding areas: Boys & Girls Clubs of Dundee Township - Funding was used to support 400 children using social emotional learning programming during an eight-week summer program. Programs included Project Learn, a holistic experiential learning strategy that empowers youth to be effective, engaged, adaptive learners; Summer Brain Gain, a weekly module-based program designed to mitigate summer learning loss; SMART Moves, a program that helps youth develop resilience and refusal skills to identify and abstain from risk behaviors through healthy decision-making and responsible behavior; The Arts, including visual arts, creative writing, and performing arts to support development of self-expression and creative thinking skills; Impact Center Compass Program supplies resources and supportive guidance to improve career awareness and interests, while supporting mental health; and Triple Play, a health and wellness program featuring three components: healthy habits, fitness challenges, and social recreation. Grief Guide - Unprocessed, grief and loss can lead to isolation and hopelessness, keeping individuals from work, social activities, or family gatherings. Grief Guide currently serves about 75 unduplicated individuals and includes the following programs: Teens Talk Grief, a monthly peer support group for teams ages 13-19; Parenting Through Grief, a monthly peer support group for parents of grieving children; Grief Guide Groups, led by a seasoned guide who offers tools and practices to help attendees move through grief and learn to grow life around it; Grief Guide Retreats consist of a one-day retreat twice a year as a set apart, sacred space to find healing through beauty, nature, still ness, quiet and solitude; Blue Christmas, an annual event that provides a space to honor the pain of grief and embrace hope for the future; and Sunday Serenity, a larger monthly gathering which serves about 30-40 people, and includes music, meditation, and prayer to seek peace in the pain. Home of the Sparrow - HOS provides an unduplicated array of shelter, housing, and comprehensive support services to approximately 600 individuals and families pushed into homelessness and housing insecurity. The funding helps sustain and enhance programs that improve access to stable shelter and housing, promote economic stability, and address key Social Determinants of Health such as housing, transportation, community environments, education, employment, and income levels to positively impact clients' overall well-being. Independence Health & Therapy - Funding was used to partially underwrite services supporting 650 individuals, nearly 60 percent of whom are considered low-income. The ability to offset the gap between the cost of services provided and the payment received would allow IHT to provide resources to those in the community who might not otherwise have access. New Directions Addiction Recovery Services - The primary goal is to expand access to affordable, supportive sober living for individuals recovering from substance use disorders, particularly those facing financial barriers. By reducing costs with more case management support, NDARS aims to ensure that more individuals can access stable housing and the services they need to achieve long-term recovery. Refuge for Women - The goal of the program is to provide and ensure survivors of horrific abuse have access to and benefit from a range of therapeutic support strategies necessary for stabilizing and restoring women's physical and mental health, laying a foundation on which to introduce new skills and tools necessary for future health, and financial and housing stability, as well as developing and affirming her ability for sound self-governance and the facilitation of her integration into the community of her choice. Rosecrance Foundation - Funding is used to continue providing high quality mental health and substance use treatment services and programs to approximately 4,350 individuals with behavioral health disorders in McHenry County. The support enables Rosecrance to meet the needs through a continuum of individualized services, as well as links to other county-wide organizations such as schools, healthcare providers and social service agencies. Turning Point, Inc. - The award funded the Mental Health Therapy (MHT) program offered to approximately 60 adults and children who have been impacted by domestic violence. The program expansion focuses on those that have chosen violence in the past but have committed to act with respectful and safe behaviors. The MHT program also addresses the needs of children who have witnessed or experienced domestic violence. The purpose of Turning Point's program is to provide individuals and families with the treatment, support and resources they need to heal and build healthier futures. Veterans Path to Hope - Funding supports two services: therapy services at the Crystal Lake drop-in center and peer support services at the Grayslake drop-in center. Both services are designed to assist veterans in managing mental health issues that increase their risk for suicide. Funds awarded would be allocated to cover the costs of providing therapy services to veterans and their family members, including veteran couples, spouses, children and those related to veterans in need of services. In Grayslake, veterans are provided with rental/mortgage/utility/food assistance, connected with the agency's other programs and community resources including the local VA for additional support, and invited to participate in five group meetings per week that help veterans gain a sense of community that many have lost when they left the service. Action 5: Address Social Determinants of Health Collaborate with community organizations to help remove barriers to care. Northwestern Medicine awarded community donations to the following partner organizations to help remove barriers to care for individuals and their families within the county: CASA of McHenry County - Every day, children in our community who have been abused or neglected are placed into temporary foster care because their parents cannot - or will not - take care of them. Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of McHenry County gives these children a voice in court so they can grow up in safe, forever homes where they can thrive. Community Health Partnership of Illinois - Community Health Partnership of Illinois (CHP) mission is to build and deliver high quality healthcare to patients, caregivers and the communities served. CHP empowers its stakeholders to attain their best health and well-being. Our network is comprised of six health and dental clinics and multiple outreach sites across northern and central Illinois. CHP services are designed to create access to quality primary care services for the uninsured and underserved. The vast majority, 99 percent of CHP patients, live in low-income households (less than 200% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) with over two-thirds (67.2%) of families that live with poverty-level incomes (100% FPL). Three-quarters of CHP patients do not have health insurance, which is in alignment with CHP's mission that no one is denied services based on their inability to pay. The approach to care is based on tools of empowerment to meet the primary care needs of our patient population and to reduce health disparities. Our award-winning Promotores de Salud and bilingual-bicultural Outreach Teams conduct robust health outreach, screening and service navigation for care that targets uninsured and underserved community residents. Girls on the Run of Northwest Illinois - The Girls on the Run researched-based curriculum is structured around understanding ourselves, valuing relationships and teamwork, and recognizing how we can shape the world at large. Participants gain critical life skills that strengthen their potential at a time when societal pressures and conflicting messages about how to feel and act can cause doubt and uncertainty. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 3 Facility , 3 - NORTHERN ILLINOIS MEDICAL CENTER. McHenry County Department of Health - The MCDH provides a wide range of clinical and community services through several specialized divisions: Public Health Nursing (offers immunizations), Environmental Health (manages food protection programs, water treatment and quality), Community Health (WIC nutrition program, substance use education and harm reduction supplies like Naloxone/NARCAN), and Emergency Preparedness (public health emergencies). NAMI of McHenry County - A non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for those whose lives are affected by mental health. NAMI offers an array of services and no cost, including one-on-one peer support, support groups, educational classes, workshops, trainings, community presentations, wellness programs and advocacy. NISRA Foundation - The Northern Illinois Special Recreation Association enriches the lives of people with disabilities through meaningful recreational experiences. Pioneer Center for Human Services - Pioneer Center provides programs for individuals with developmental disabilities, behavioral health challenges and homeless shelter needs. Now celebrating over 65 years of service, Pioneer Center helps clients live dignified lives of well-being, independence and inclusion. Warp Corps - The mission of Warp Corps is prevention through engagement. They have creating, encouraging and positive programs that embrace individuality to tackle substance use disorder, mental health issues and support people without housing. They believe everyone has their own organic passions that need to be identified, understood and nurtured to provide the best opportunities for success in life. Woodstock Food Pantry - Funding was used in support of the construction of a permanent, expanded facility that will quadruple capacity, accept all size food donations, and serve families with dignity and choice. The mission is to build hope, reduce hunger, and ensure that every neighbor has access to fresh, nutritious food. Action 6: Address Social Determinants of Health Collaborate with community organizations to identify and, where appropriate, support programs that bring healthcare services to community settings and reduce the need to travel for health care. Cultivating Health Ministries is a diverse partnership that began providing access to health screenings and education at area churches in 2020. With grant support, the program has expanded to amplify the project's impact in 2024-2025. Volunteers from each church are trained as "Health Helpers "Promotores" to encourage and empower participants through this non-traditional, health delivery model created withing the county's faith communities. And, just as importantly, caregivers, friends and family members, the churches, and our communities also benefit collectively as health equity increases individually. Northwestern Medicine provided a grant to offset the expenses of partner payments, A1C and cholesterol testing fees, equipment (test strips, blood pressure testing equipment) and the texting platform that CHM uses for outreach and education to its participants. Priority Need 2: Behavioral Health and Substance Use Disorders Action 1: Address Capacity Collaborate with community organizations to improve access to behavioral health and substance use disorder care in McHenry County. Northwestern Medicine Huntley Hospital, Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital and Northwestern Medicine Woodstock Hospital 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. Northwestern Medicine Huntley Hospital, Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital and Northwestern Medicine Woodstock Hospital also provided operational support to Independence Health & Therapy to improve access to counseling programs as well as to Turning Point in support of a mental health counseling program for survivors of domestic violence. Northwestern Medicine Huntley Hospital, Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital and Northwestern Medicine Woodstock Hospital provided support, education, training and programs to address substance abuse in its service areas through the support of an NM nurse who participates in action planning for community overdose alerts, and substance use disorder community event planning, participates in the McHenry Suicide Prevention Task Force, and 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. Northwestern Medicine 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. Action 2: Address Capacity Evaluate and expand internal behavioral health care capacity through the Northwestern Medicine strategic planning processes. Northwestern Medicine awarded community donations and competitive grants to the following organizations to evaluate and expand internal behavioral health care capacity: NAMI McHenry County, Independence Health & Therapy, Rosecrance Foundation, New Directions Addiction Recovery Services, and Veteran's Path to Hope. Action 3: Education and Programming Evaluate and expand ongoing information and educational programming on behavioral health and substance use disorders to medical professionals, school districts, parents and students. The NM Community Affairs Programming Team offered six Narcan educational events in the county, reaching 50 people and distributing 52 Narcan kits. Additionally, three Narcan vending machines have now been installed in the three Northwestern Medicine emergency departments, resulting in 924 Narcan kits being distributed. Northwestern Medicine's clinical practice specialist nurse does a great deal of community outreach and education, both on task forces as well as upon request from community partner organizations. The Cultivating Health Ministries program partners with faith communities to create their health ministry and provide integrated, evidence-based, chronic disease programs, education, patient and family-caregiver support, community resources, health screenings, free monitoring equipment/training and counseling services (i.e., nutrition, insurance, mental health) to promote disease prevention/management for individuals with, or at risk for, Type 2 diabetes, and co-morbid health conditions. CHM brings health and wellness screenings, evidenced-based diabetes and chronic disease classes, and health topics, including mental health and substance use workshops, in both the English and Spanish languages. Action 4: Grants and Donations Support community organizations that provide behavioral health and substance use disorder education, programs and services to populations that have historically had limited access to these resources. Northwestern Medicine awarded competitive grants to the following organizations to support behavioral health and substance use disorder education, programs and services in McHenry County: Independence Health & Therapy, Rosecrance Foundation, New Directions Addiction Recovery Service, and Veteran's Path to Hope. Non-Priority Areas The CHNA identified areas of opportunity for health improvement for which Northwestern Medicine McHenry, Huntley and Woodstock Hospitals determined it would not prepare an implementation plan. These areas of opportunity and the reasons for not addressing are listed below. Cancer: This need is addressed through the hospital care delivery system. Diabetes: This need is addressed through the hospital care delivery system. Food Access: This need is better addressed by community organizations specializing in this field. Heart Disease and Stroke: This need is addressed through the hospital care delivery system. Obesity: This need is addressed through the hospital care delivery system. 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.

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 - Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital. The CHNA report also describes the 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 - 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. Arab American Family Services, Bremen High School District 228, City of Palos Heights, Crisis Center for South Suburbia, Inner-City Muslim Action Network (IMAN) Health Center, Moraine Valley Community College, National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) South Suburbs of Chicago, Pathlights, Sertoma Centre, Inc., Stickney Township Public Health District, Together We Cope, and VKMI Hattie B. Williams Food Pantry. The timeline for community engagement is described below and is reflected in Appendix C of the CHNA report: The community input survey was open from March to December 2024. Interviews with community members were held February to March 2025. Focus groups were held February to March 2025. The community engagement council convened in May 2025 to prioritize health needs.

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. Palos Hospital adopted a new implementation strategy in FY2026 (TY 2025) in alignment with the most recent CHNA. For Line 11, we are reporting on CHNA FY2022 (TY 2021) corresponding with the CHIP FY2023 (TY2022) implementation strategies as this is the most recent outcomes data available. 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 Crisis Center for South Suburbia received funding for the counselors that provided 1,823 hours of trauma-informed care and support for 465 clients victimized by domestic violence. Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital (NMPH) supported Envision Unlimited to deliver Mental Health First Aid training throughout the hospital's CSA. As part of Northwestern Medicine's commitment to a safer, healthier community, Palos Hospital participated in the Drug Enforcement Agency's (DEA) National Take Back event in October 2024 and April 2025. Between the two events, 142 pounds of unneeded drugs were collected and disposed of by the DEA with the help of local police enforcement. During these events, Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital distributed 25 boxes of Narcan. Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital has provided financial support to VNA Health Care, a federally qualified health center (FQHC), to establish a new clinic within the NM Palos Hospital CSA. The FQHC is researching a potential location with some of the provided funding; some will also be utilized to buildout the new clinic. In addition to primary care, the FQHC will provide behavioral health care services. 1.2: Education: Expand behavioral health preventive and educational resources in collaboration with community organizations. To continue to support services available from the South Suburban Chapter of the National Alliance in Mental Illness (NAMI), Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital provided conference room space for support group meetings intended for family and friends of those facing behavioral health issues.For FY25, there were a total of 69 participants for 11 sessions. Working with community organizations, Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital offered behavioral health education programs in the community. During FY25, four Mental Health First Aid programs were offered with a total of 51 participants. To supplement resources available in our community, Northwestern Medicine has two NARCAN distribution machines making it available to patients and community members at an outpatient facility in Orland Park and in the hospital's emergency department.During FY25, NMPH distributed 1,016 NARCAN kits. 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. The Collaborative Behavioral Healthcare Program (CBHP) launched at the end of FY23. During FY25, 28,246 primary care patients were screened for depression and/or anxiety. A total of 160 patients were referred to the CBHP. Sixty-two patients connected with a behavioral health care manager who consulted cases with a psychiatric physician and then collaborated with the patient and primary care provider to implement treatment plan. A behavioral health care manager reassessed patients every one to two weeks, communicated recommendations, addressed safety concerns, and monitored physical health and treatment effects.Twenty-five patients attained a clinical outcome with an average of 5.2 encounters with a behavioral health manager. 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. To provide access to care in a community setting, Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital conducted seven blood pressure screenings at the Mosque Foundation Food Pantry. During the screening event, a total of 82 participants were screened and 58 identified as high risk (70% of participants). Twenty-seven participants received additional education regarding stroke risk and warning signs.

To support education provided by a local social services agency, Arab American Family Services, Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital provided three educational classes and partnered with the AAFS team to translate the presentations. There were a total of 61 participants in the three classes. Topics covered were pre- and post-natal nutrition, heart health, and caregiving. 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. 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. Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital arranged for Arab American Family Services to educate more than 100 employees in the from the Palos Hospital Maternal/Child unit as well as our Home Health division regarding Arab culture and the Muslim faith. 2.3: Access: Assess most commonly spoken languages and identify patient materials to be translated into those languages. After conducting an audit, Arabic is the second most often spoken language after English at Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital. In FY24, the inpatient guide was translated. In FY25, additional informational literature has been translated into Arabic. This includes Facts about the Flu Vaccine, Postpartum Fall Prevention and a patient letter regarding Electrophysiology Ablation procedure as well financial assistance application and policy. 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 provided four to five trays/boxes of unused food weekly to Beds Plus, an organization that supports unhoused individuals and families. The donated food allowed Beds Plus to offer nutritious meals at their medical respite facility. Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 2 Facility , 2 - Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital. 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. When patients express concern about food insecurity, the case worker will follow up with them to provide resources. During FY25, 417 reported food insecurity, 65 of these patients reported a food emergency. Three hundred of the patients requested assistance to address food insecurity and 38 requested support with a food emergency. More than 350 patients received support including some that did not request assistance but still received an intervention. 3.3: Access: Promote access to food and support nutrition education through funding in collaboration with community organizations. In FY25 Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital provided funding to Community High School District 218 to establish a food pantry for students experiencing food insecurity. To promote wellness through nutrition, Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital supported the Hattie B. Williams food pantry. Using funding from NM, the food pantry started a garden to supplement fresh vegetables available at the pantry. The Hope Center received support from Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital to support their work to address food insecurity and promote sustainable education. The funding from NMPH allowed The Hope Center to expand their urban agriculture, including aquaponics, hydroponics, and a chicken farm providing 700 pounds of healthy, fresh produce year-round to individuals experiencing food insecurity.

Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 13 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - PALOS COMMUNITY 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 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.

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 - PALOS 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.

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 09/01/2024 - 08/31/2025 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. 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 282396005 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 2025 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 2025 MEDICARE COST REPORTS TO CHARGES FOREGONE FOR CHARITY CARE. THE FISCAL YEAR 2025 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 JANUARY OF 2026 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025. 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 2024 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, MEDICAL ASSISTANT PROGRAM, AND A BASIC NURSING ASSISTANT TRAINING PROGRAM. THE ACCREDITED 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.

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 THROUGH THE NM SCHOLARS PROGRAM. AS OF FY24, THE PROGRAM HAS EXPANDED TO INCLUDE STUDENTS FROM DANIEL HALE WILLIAMS PREP AND BRONZEVILLE SCHOLASTIC INSTITUTE. 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. SINCE ITS INCEPTION, 88 STUDENTS HAVE GRADUATED FROM THE PROGRAM TO DATE. REFLECTING THE GEOGRAPHICAL EXPANSION OF THE HEALTH SYSTEM, THE NM DISCOVERY PROGRAM, FORMERLY KNOWN AS MEDICAL EXPLORERS, INCLUDED 211 STUDENT PARTICIPANTS IN FY25 AT: NM DISCOVERY PROGRAM CENTRAL, NM DISCOVERY PROGRAM WEST, NM DISCOVERY PROGRAM NORTH, NM DISCOVERY PROGRAM GREATER DEKALB, NM DISCOVERY PROGRAM NORTHWEST, AND NM DISCOVERY PROGRAM SOUTH. THROUGHOUT THE TWO-YEAR PROGRAM, STUDENTS ARE EXPOSED TO A BROAD RANGE OF ACTIVITIES DESIGNED TO ENCOURAGE THEIR INTEREST IN HEALTHCARE CAREERS. IN ADDITION, THE PROGRAM FOSTERS CHARACTER AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, CULTIVATES LIFE SKILLS, PROVIDES COMMUNITY SERVICE AND LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE, AND OFFERS MENTORSHIP AND NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES. ONCE-MONTHLY ACTIVITIES INCLUDE TOURS, GUEST SPEAKERS, GROUP DISCUSSION AND HANDS-ON PROJECTS. SINCE THE PROGRAM BEGAN, MANY PARTICIPANTS HAVE PURSUED CAREERS IN NURSING AND OTHER HEALTHCARE FIELDS, AND SEVERAL ARE NOW EMPLOYED AT NMH. ADDITIONAL EXPANSION OF BOTH THE NM DISCOVERY PROGRAM IS EXPECTED IN COMING YEARS. NM CDH, NM DELNOR, NM KISHWAUKEE, AND NM HUNTLEY OFFER PROJECT SEARCH, A PROGRAM FOR STUDENT INTERNS WITH INTELLECTUAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES. PROJECT SEARCH IS AN EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS TRAINING PROGRAM THAT ASSISTS STUDENTS WHO HAVE INTELLECTUAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES TRANSITION FROM HIGH SCHOOL TO PRODUCTIVE EMPLOYMENT. THE HALLMARK OF PROJECT SEARCH IS TOTAL WORKPLACE IMMERSION, WHICH FACILITATES A SEAMLESS COMBINATION OF CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION, CAREER EXPLORATION AND HANDS-ON TRAINING. DURING THE ONE-YEAR PROGRAM, STUDENTS WHO ARE IN THEIR LAST YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL PARTICIPATE IN THREE 10-WEEK INTERNSHIPS WITHIN THE HOSPITAL TO EXPLORE THEIR VOCATIONAL SKILLS, ABILITIES AND POTENTIAL CAREER PATHS. THE GOAL OF THE PROGRAM IS TO ACHIEVE 100% EMPLOYMENT AT THE END OF THE INTERNSHIP. PROJECT SEARCH IS CONTINUING TO EXPAND ACROSS THE HEALTH SYSTEM. PROJECT SEARCH HAD 42 PARTICIPANTS DURING FY25, AND 31 ACHIEVED EMPLOYMENT AT THE END OF THEIR INTERNSHIP; ONE GRADUATE OF THE FY25 PROGRAM IS NOW EMPLOYED BY THE HEALTH SYSTEM. THE NM SUMMER PRE-MED INTERNSHIP PROGRAM PROVIDES OPPORTUNITIES FOR PROMISING UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS TO EXPERIENCE BOTH CLINICAL OBSERVATION AND FOCUSED PROJECT WORK. THE EIGHT-WEEK PAID PROGRAM IS OPEN TO STUDENTS WHO ARE ENROLLED IN A FOUR-YEAR UNIVERSITY AND ARE INTERESTED IN BECOMING A PHYSICIAN. STUDENTS IN THE PROGRAM ARE MATCHED WITH A CLINICAL DEPARTMENT AND PAIRED WITH BOTH ADMINISTRATIVE AND CLINICAL MENTORS ACROSS THE HEALTH SYSTEM. THE FY25 SUMMER COHORT INCLUDED 46 STUDENTS FROM 31 UNIVERSITIES ACROSS THE US. THE NM INTERPRETATION SERVICES INTERNSHIP AT NMH WAS LAUNCHED IN FY24 TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES TO STUDENTS WHO ARE DEAF OR HARD OF HEARING. THE INTERNSHIP FOCUSES ON SUPPORTING INTERPRETATION SERVICES, MANAGING ACCOMMODATIONS EQUIPMENT AND COMPLETING A CAPSTONE PROJECT WHICH FOCUSED ON MAKING HEALTH CARE AT NM MORE ACCESSIBLE AND SUPPORTIVE FOR PATIENTS WHO ARE DEAF OR HARD OF HEARING. THE CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION INTERNSHIPS PROVIDED FIVE STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK IN THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S PHARMACY AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS DEPARTMENTS DURING FY25. THE HEALTH SYSTEM ALSO HOSTED FOUR STUDENTS DURING FY25 AS PART OF THE CRISTO REY HIGH SCHOOL CORPORATE WORK STUDY PROGRAM. STUDENTS WORK FOR AND EARN A MAJORITY OF THE COST OF THEIR EDUCATION AS A QUALITY COLLEGE PREPARATORY EDUCATION PATH. EVANSTON TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL ("ETHS") IS THE ONLY PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL IN EVANSTON, ILLINOIS, AND SERVES A DIVERSE STUDENT BODY. THE HEALTH SYSTEM PARTNERS WITH ETHS TO EXPOSE STUDENTS TO CAREERS IN HEALTH CARE. IN FY25 NM PROVIDED TOURS FOR 42 STUDENTS, ATTENDED CAREER FAIRS AND PROVIDED SEVEN STUDENTS WITH PAID SUMMER INTERNSHIPS. COMMUNITY HEALTH EDUCATION COMMUNITY-BASED EDUCATION PROGRAMS ARE OFFERED ACROSS THE HEALTH SYSTEM AND IN COORDINATION WITH OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS. 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 3 Bad Debt Expense Methodology NORTHWESTERN MEMORIAL HEALTHCARE DOES NOT ATTRIBUTE ANY AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE TO PATIENTS WHO ARE ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S FAP. THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROCESS IDENTIFIES PATIENTS ELIGIBLE FOR FREE CARE OR DISCOUNTED CARE AND THE MEASURE OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AT COST IS REPORTED ON PART I, LINE 7. BAD DEBT DETERMINED FROM PATIENTS NOT ELIGIBLE UNDER THE FAP IS REPORTED AT PART III, LINE 2. Schedule H, Part III, Line 4 Bad debt expense - financial statement footnote PLEASE SEE PAGE 12, 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 2025. 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 AN 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. IF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE RESULTS IN A DISCOUNTED OR REDUCED BALANCE, ONLY THE REDUCED BALANCE WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE COLLECTION PROCESS.

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. NMH HAS FORMAL AND LONGSTANDING AFFILIATIONS WITH TWO FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTERS (FQHC) BASED IN THE COMMUNITY - NEAR NORTH HEALTH SERVICE CORPORATION AND ERIE FAMILY HEALTH CENTER - AS WELL AS WITH COMMUNITYHEALTH, THE LARGEST FREE HEALTH CLINIC IN ILLINOIS.

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, 89 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 Catherine Gratz Griffin Lake Forest Hospital Service Area NM LFH primarily serves Lake County, which has a fairly stable population of around 737,000 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 755,000 residents of central and western DuPage County as well as Cook, Kane, and Will Counties. Age distribution in the service area includes 23.1 percent 17 years and younger, 62 percent of residents are age 18 to 64, and the 14.9 percent of age 65 or older. The service area population includes 57.1 percent non-Hispanic White residents, 5.1 percent Black, 22.1 percent Hispanic/Latino, and the remaining 15.7 percent is some other race or two or more races. The service area has a higher proportion of white residents and a lower proportion of black residents than the state and US. The percentage of Hispanic and Latino residents is also lower than found in the state and US. Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital Service Area NMDH primarily serves over 355,000 residents across 15 ZIP codes or 281 square miles primarily in Kane County. Kane County is the seventh-youngest county in Illinois and notable for its age distribution.

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 FY25 was over $94 million.

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, or NM) 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. Northwestern Medicine provides continuing support to Northwestern University in support of the research and education mission of the Feinberg School of Medicine. In addition, grants and donations to other organizations are primarily administered through the NM Community Affairs team, which maintains detailed records and internal control procedures to ensure grant recipients are qualified, award amounts are documented, and selection criteria are clear. Larger donations ($10,000 or more) are awarded through a formal application process which identifies the community health need to be addressed and includes both a detailed budget and the expected measurable outcomes. Once a grant has been awarded, a written agreement is created incorporating a budget and time period for spending the grant dollars. Recipients agree to abide by the budget and all relevant policies in effect at Northwestern Medicine. Grant expenditures are monitored for compliance with their respective agreements to ensure that budgets are followed and expenses are appropriate. At the end of each budget period, the grant recipient is required to submit a Stewardship Report which includes a written narrative and financial report outlining project accomplishments and how the grant dollars were expended.
