Recognizing its vital importance in understanding the health needs and assets of the community, Ascension Macomb-Oakland Hospital - Warren Campus and Ascension Macomb-Oakland Hospital -Madison Heights Campus along with the other Ascension Southeast Michigan (SEM) hospitals (also including Ascension St. John Hospital, Ascension Providence Hospital - Southfield Campus and Novi Campus, Ascension River District Hospital, and Ascension Brighton Center for Recovery) completed the tax year 2021 CHNA. With facilitation of the Ascension SEM Community Health Department and Ascension Michigan Community Benefit Center of Expertise, a concerted effort was made to ensure that the individuals and organizations represented the needs and perspectives of: 1) public health practice and research; 2) individuals who are medically underserved, are low-income, or considered among the minority populations served by the hospital; and 3) the broader community at large and those who represent the broad interests and needs of the community served. Multiple methods were used to gather community input, including key stakeholder focus groups and community surveys for adults and youth. These methods provided additional perspectives on how to select and address top health issues facing southeast Michigan. A summary of the process and results is outlined below: *Surveys - A survey was conducted by Ascension SEM Community Health Department to gather the perceptions, thoughts, opinions, and concerns of the community regarding healthy behaviors, mental health, physical health, substance use, Social Determinants of Health (SDoH), access to care, COVID-19 for southeast Michigan (Wayne, including city of Detroit, Oakland, Macomb, Livingston, and St. Clair counties). A total of 872 individuals participated in the survey, held between September 2021 and November 2021. The data gathered and analyzed from youth and the community provides valuable insight into the issues of importance to the community. The adult (general) community survey contained 36 questions and was distributed to adults age 18+ by email, paper surveys located in medical centers, and shared electronically through our partner organizations. 751 responses were received. The youth community survey contained 24 questions and was distributed to students in the Ascension MI school-based health centers through electronic and paper surveys. 121 responses were received. The key stakeholder survey contained 8 questions and was distributed electronically through our partner organization and during the key stakeholders focus group sessions. 23 responses were received. *Key Stakeholders Focus Groups - Key Stakeholder focus groups were conducted by Ascension SEM Community Health to gather feedback from key stakeholders on the health needs and assets of southeast Michigan (Wayne [City of Detroit], Oakland, Macomb, Livingston, and St. Clair counties).

Participants included stakeholders within the southeast Michigan area that works with local health departments, federally qualified health clinics, nonprofit and community organizations, mental health organizations, youth serving organizations, senior serving organizations, education leaders and local school districts, faith-based organizations, local government officials and law enforcement. In 2020, Ascension SEM Community Health established Community Advisory Committees (CAC) composed of a diverse group of key stakeholders including educators, business and faith leaders, nonprofit and public agencies serving infants, children and seniors, to establish, maintain and/or enhance its relationships with the community.

Schedule H, Part I, Line 3c factors other than fpg
"IN ADDITION TO FPG, THE ORGANIZATION USES MEDICAL INDIGENCY, ASSET TEST, INSURANCE STATUS AND RESIDENCY AS OTHER FACTORS IN DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY FOR FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE. A Patient may not be eligible for the financial assistance if such Patient is deemed to have sufficient assets to pay pursuant to an ""Asset Test."" The Asset Test involves a substantive assessment of a Patient's ability to pay based on the categories of assets measured in the FAP Application. A Patient with such assets that exceed 250% of such Patient's FPL amount may not be eligible for financial assistance. AN ASSET TEST APPLIES IF A PATIENT HAS ELIGIBLE LIQUID ASSETS THAT EXCEED 250% OF THE PATIENT'S FPG LEVEL FOR CONSIDERATION OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY. LIQUID ASSETS INCLUDE ASSETS THAT CAN BE CONVERTED TO CASH WITHIN 1 YEAR. THESE INCLUDE ITEMS SUCH AS CHECKING ACCOUNTS, SAVINGS ACCOUNTS, TRUST FUNDS AND LUXURY ITEMS SUCH AS RECREATIONAL VEHICLES, BOATS, A SECOND HOME, ETC."
