Community Benefit Expenditures: 2021

  • All tax-exempt organizations file a Form 990 with the IRS for every tax year. If the tax-exempt organization operates one or more hospital facilities during the tax year, the organization must attach a Schedule H to Form 990. On Part I of Schedule H, the organization records the expenditures it made during the tax year for various types of community benefits; 9 types are shown on this web tool. By default, this web tool presents community benefit expenditures as a percentage of the organization’s functional expenses, which it reports on Form 990, Part IX, Line 25, Column A. (The more commonly heard term, ‘total operating expenses’, which organizations report to CMS, is generally about 90% of the ‘functional expenses’). The user may change the default to see the dollar expenditures.

    • Information about the tax-exempt hospital's Financial Assistance Policy and Debt Collection Policy

      The Financial Assistance Policy section of Schedule H has changed over the years. The questions listed below reflect the questions on the 2009-2011 Schedule H forms and the answers tax-exempt hospitals provided for those years. The Financial Assistance Policy requirements were changed under the ACA. In the future, as the Community Benefit Insight web site is populated with 2021 data and subsequent years, the web tool will also be updated to reflect the new wording and requirements. In the meantime, if you have any questions about this section, we encourage you to contact your tax-exempt hospital directly.

      • Does the organization have a written financial assistance (charity care) policy?YES
        Did the tax-exempt hospital rely upon Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG) to determine when to provide free or discounted care for patients?YES

        0 %
    • Did the tax-exempt hospital, or an authorized third party, take any of the following collection activities before determining whether the patient was eligible for financial assistance:
      • Reported to credit agencyNot available
    • Under the ACA, states have the choice to expand Medicaid eligibility for their residents up to 138% of the federal poverty guidelines. The Medicaid expansion provision of the ACA did not go into effect until January 2014, so data in this web tool will not reflect each state's current Medicaid eligibility threshold. For up to date information, please visit the Terms and Glossary under the Resources tab.

      • After enactment of the ACA, has the state in which this tax-exempt hospital is located expanded Medicaid?NO
    • The federal poverty guidelines (FPG) are set by the government and used to determine eligibility for many federal financial assistance programs. Tax-exempt hospitals often use FPG guidelines in their Financial Assistance policies to determine which patients will qualify for free or discounted care.

      • If not, is the state's Medicaid threshold for working parents at or below 76% of the federal poverty guidelines?YES
    • In addition to the federal requirements, some states have laws stipulating community benefit requirements as a result of tax-exemption. The laws vary from state to state and may require the tax-exempt hospitals to submit community benefit reports. Data on this web tool captures whether or not a state had a mandatory community benefit reporting law as of 2011. For more information, please see Community Benefit State Law Profiles Comparison at The Hilltop Institute.

      • Does the state in which the tax-exempt hospital is located have a mandatory community benefit reporting statute?NO

    Community Health Needs Assessment Activities: 2021

    • The ACA requires all 501(c)(3) tax-exempt hospitals to conduct a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) every three years, starting with the hospital's tax year beginning after March 23, 2012. The 2011 Schedule H included an optional section of questions on the CHNA process. This web tool includes responses for those hospitals voluntary reporting this information. The web tool will be updated to reflect changes in these questions on the 2012 and subsequent Schedule H forms.

      • Did the tax-exempt hospital report that they had conducted a CHNA?YES
        Did the CHNA define the community served by the tax-exempt hospital?YES
        Did the CHNA consider input from individuals that represent the broad interests of the community served by the tax-exempt hospital?YES
        Did the tax-exempt hospital make the CHNA widely available (i.e. post online)?YES
        Did the tax-exempt hospital adopt an implementation strategy to address the community needs identified by the CHNA?YES

      "Southern Baptist Hospital of Florida, Inc. (SBHF) is a subsidiary of Baptist Health System, Inc. (Baptist Health), a tax-exempt parent company located in Jacksonville, Florida. SBHF is a tax-exempt organization that operates two acute care hospitals, Baptist Medical Center (Baptist Jacksonville) and Baptist Medical Center South (Baptist South), and four emergency departments: Baptist Emergency Center Clay, Baptist Emergency Town Center, Baptist Emergency Center North, and Baptist Emergency Center Oakleaf. The two hospitals have 762 and 357 licensed beds, respectively. Baptist Jacksonville is a full-service, magnet-designated tertiary care hospital representing nearly all major specialties. This flagship hospital is also home to the Baptist Heart Hospital, offering comprehensive, high-quality cardiovascular care, and Wolfson Children's Hospital (WCH), the only full-service tertiary hospital for children in the region, serving North Florida, South Georgia, and beyond. WCH is a pediatric trauma referral center and is recognized year after year as one of America's best children's hospitals by U.S. News World Report. WCH serves as the main teaching facility for the University of Florida College of Medicine's Pediatric Residency Training Program. For fiscal year 2022, SBHF had 73,248 admissions accounting for 326,081 inpatient observation days, 316,407 emergency room visits, and 40,793 surgeries. SBHF's primary focus is addressing unmet health needs, particularly among vulnerable populations who have limited health resources and access to health care. SBHF's community health efforts are guided by the community health committee, which is comprised of selected Baptist Health board members from across our health system. A cornerstone of SBHF's commitment to the community is caring for the health of vulnerable, uninsured and underserved people among us. During fiscal year 2022, SBHF provided the following uncompensated care and community benefit; (1) charity care - $38.8 million, (2) unreimbursed Medicaid costs - $78.8 million, (3) unreimbursed Medicare costs - $121.5 million, and (4) specific community programs - $22.7 million, for a total of $261.8 million of uncompensated care and community benefits. MD Anderson Cancer Center and Baptist Health have united to create Baptist MD Anderson Cancer Center. This partnership brings together MD Anderson's world-renowned cancer expertise and Baptist Health's comprehensive health system to create an unprecedented range of options for adult cancer patients in our region. The goal of the partnership is to provide the same high-level, multidisciplinary cancer care to patients in Northeast Florida that is available to MD Anderson patients in Houston. This includes all aspects along the continuum of cancer care -- patient care, research, education and prevention. The following are some of the awards and honors received by Baptist Jacksonville and Baptist South: (1) recipient of American Heart Association's Get with the Guidelines Stroke Quality achievement award. (Baptist Jacksonville Baptist South), (2) ranked by U.S. News World Report's Best Hospitals in two pediatric specialties - neurology and neurosurgery at Wolfson Children's Hospital during 2022.

      The significant health needs of the community are identified on our CHNA. The methodology to determine the significance of the community health needs and prioritization of the health needs are also described in our CHNA.
      Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 5 Facility A, 1
      Facility A, 1 - Southern Baptist Hospital of Florida, Inc.. The Community Health Needs Assessment was conducted to identify priority health needs within each community served by each hospital and to inform development of implementation strategies to address the identified needs selected by each hospital based on their ability to impact them. Additionally, the Partnership focuses collaborative efforts to include the five-county service area of Baker, Clay, Duval, Nassau, and St. Johns. The CHNAs were conducted to respond to federal regulatory requirements and sought to identify significant health needs for geographic areas and populations by focusing on the following questions: * Who in the community is most vulnerable in terms of health status or access to care? * What are the unique health status and/or access needs for these populations? * Where do these people live in the community? * Why are these problems present? * How are disparities based on racial and ethnic inequities affecting health? * What social determinants of health can the health systems significantly address? Primary Data Significant changes from traditional methods of community engagement to virtual engagement platforms were necessary due to the nature of the COVID-19 pandemic. Primary data gathered from various segments of the community with special knowledge and expertise in public health included residents, stakeholder organizations, and hospital staff. The Health Planning Council collected data through (1) virtual key stakeholder interviews, (2) virtual focus groups, and (3) a community survey, in English and Spanish, distributed throughout the service area through online and paper submissions. Around 660 community members contributed their input on the community's health and health-related needs, barriers, and opportunities for Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville's service area, around 865 contributed their input for Baptist Medical Center South, and around 1,390 contributed their input for Wolfson Children's Hospital. The Partnership aimed to solicit input from members of or representatives of vulnerable and underserved populations through key informant interviews and focus group discussions. Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville - Key informant interviews were conducted with 15 community experts who either served or represented underserved communities (such as low-income individuals and groups experiencing disparities in health outcomes or health access). Baptist Medical Center South - Key informant interviews were conducted with 20 community experts who either served or represented underserved communities. Wolfson Children's Hospital - Key informant interviews were conducted with 31 community experts who either served or represented underserved communities. For the focus groups, efforts were made to recruit participants who represent minority, low-income, veterans and medically underserved populations most at risk for health disparities and those experiencing challenges in accessing healthcare. Secondary Data Secondary data used for this assessment were collected and analyzed through universal measures recommended by Healthy People 2030 to evaluate the health status of communities and populations served by the Partnership. Data was obtained from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, County Health Rankings and Roadmaps, Florida CHARTS, Florida Department of Health, Local Community Health Assessments, Hospital Utilization Reports, U.S. Census, and the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System. Indicators were used to evaluate areas of health and quality of life in the following areas through an equity lens: * Accessing Healthcare Services/Resources * Adolescent Health * Asthma * Cancer * Children's Health * Hospitalization and Incidence Ranking * COVID-19 * Diabetes * Disabilities * Fatal Injury * Health Outcomes * Health Factors * Healthcare Utilization * Healthcare Access * Heart Disease and Stroke * Household Income * Infectious Disease * Leading Causes of Death * Life Expectancy * Maternal and Infant Health * Mental Health * Pediatric Health * Poverty Indicators * Substance Abuse * Veterans' Health * Transportation Indicator values for Baker, Clay, Duval, Nassau, and St. Johns counties were compared to other Florida counties and other U.S. counties to identify relative need. Other considerations in weighing relative areas of need included comparisons to Florida state values and national values. Based on these comparisons in conjunction with primary data, health needs were identified and ranked from high to low need.

Although Baptist Jacksonville can play a direct role in addressing many health-related priorities, others will require the development of strategic partnerships with community service partners or involve the expertise of the hospital's staff in the development of new and effective efforts that will be administered by other local community organizations. Regardless of the role Baptist Jacksonville will play in meeting needs, Baptist remains committed to leading and supporting efforts that increase access to care and engage our patients in improving health and community wellbeing, especially through a health equity lens. All Community Health Plan efforts implemented by Baptist Jacksonville must be measurable, achievable, and financially feasible. This report reflects the goals and strategic objectives identified to address community priorities within Baptist Jacksonville's influence and scope of service. Access to Care The significant health need of access refers to access issues across the spectrum of both health and quality of life topic areas, including access to health services, transportation, housing, and nutritious food. Access issues were compiled due to their inextricable nature in impacting health behaviors and health outcomes. As access issues for Jacksonville residents continue to increase, the focus on this priority will occur during the 2022-2024 CHNA cycle Key Issues Identified in the Assessment: * Factors contributing to chronic disease include food deserts, level of access to physical activity, and air quality. - Lack of access to proper nutrition in some areas - food desert designation in Atlantic Beach * Transportation is identified as a need - 91% of survey respondents from zip code 32218 (Duval) indicated they do not have access to public transportation * Duval County 2018-2020 age-adjusted rates of chronic disease: - Asthma: The hospitalization rate was 3.36x higher for Black patients than White patients - Congestive heart failure: The hospitalization rate was 1.95x higher for Black patients than White patients - Diabetes: The hospitalization rate was 2.52x higher for Black patients than White patients - Stroke: The death rate was 1.36x higher for Black people than White people * Cancer is the leading cause of death in the region followed by heart disease. * The three leading cancer incidences are: breast cancer (females), lung cancer (females males) and prostate cancer (males) - Duval County 2018-2020 age-adjusted death rates: Breast cancer: The death rate was 1.55x higher for Black females than White females.

      Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility A, 2
      Facility A, 2 - Southern Baptist Hosptial of Florida, Inc. (dba Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville). Mental and Behavioral Health: Mental health is an integral and essential component of health. It is a state of well-being in which individuals realize their abilities, cope with the everyday stresses of life, work productively, and contribute to their community. Baptist Health has made behavioral health services a priority, providing comprehensive inpatient and outpatient services to both children and adults.

Maternal and Child Health In 2020 17,920 babies were born in Northeast Florida with 12,490 born in Duval County and Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville delivering over 1,900 of these babies. Maternal health refers to the health of women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postnatal period. Each stage should be a positive experience, ensuring women and their babies reach their full potential for health and well-being. Children's health is the extent to which individual children or groups of children are able or enabled to develop and realize their potential, satisfy their needs, and develop the capacities that allow them to interact successfully with their biological, physical, and social environments. Child health is the foundation to adult health and overall well-being. At Baptist Health, we are committed to providing quality care through every stage of life.

Social Determinants of Health While the traditional role of health care is to treat patients' physical symptoms and medical conditions, clinical care accounts for only about 20 percent of an individual's health outcomes. An individual's habits and behaviors account for about 30 percent of that person's quality and length of life. The social, economic, and environmental factors, also known as the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) determine 50% of an individual's health outcomes, and they affect an individual's ability to stay healthy and recover from illness, manage chronic conditions, and maintain overall well-being. The Healthy People Initiative organized SDOH around five key domains: Economic stability; Education, access, and quality; Health care access and quality; Neighborhood and built environment; and Social and community context. Key Issues Identified in the Assessment: * Cost of care (copays, prescriptions) was commonly cited as an inhibiting factor for individuals who have difficulty accessing medical and dental services. * Top economic issues affecting health also include lack of a living wage and lack of affordable healthcare and insurance in Duval County. * CHNA survey respondents and interviewees indicated a community-wide concern regarding the lack of affordable and safe housing in Duval County. Goals: * Address social needs that prevent people from achieving optimal health Strategies: * Increase employment opportunities * Increase access to healthy food * Ensure parks are safe places for children and adults * Ensure seniors have access to in-home and other supports for health and wellbeing including foods * Research opportunities to address housing and transportation * Implement findhelp (Aunt Bertha) referral system for patients and community members Metrics/What we are measuring: * Percentage of people hired in low life expectancy zip codes * Percentage of identified FQHC and free clinic patients screened for food insecurity * Percentage of patients connected with food assistance programs * Number of home-delivered food boxes or meals * Evaluate community response and engagement at targeted park improvements * Evaluate level of programming at targeted parks * Number of meals provided * Percentage of seniors who need food assistance and are receiving meals * Percentage of seniors needing in-home medical services and receiving them * Evaluate organization's ability to address these social determinants * Number of organizations receiving referrals through findhelp Potential Partnering/External Organizations: * CareerSource * Family Links * JaxCareConnect * MASS * City of Jacksonville Parks and Recreation * Jaguars * Lift Jax * Blue Zones Jacksonville * Pie in the Sky * Meals on Wings * Healthcare Anchor Network * Community-based organizations addressing social needs Results: Year 1 (October 1, 2021 - September 30, 2022) * A partnership was created with CareerSource to provide job fairs in identified zip codes.

Needs Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville Will Not Address No entity can address all the health needs present in its community. Baptist Jacksonville is committed to serving the community by adhering to its mission, using its skills and capabilities, and remaining a strong organization so that it can continue to provide a wide range of community benefits. This plan does not include specific strategies to address the following health priorities that were identified in the 2021 Community Health Needs Assessment; however, each of these health needs will continue to be addressed through partnerships and ongoing initiatives: Areas of Poverty - This need is being addressed by other entities in Northeast Florida, including United Way of Northeast Florida, which is supported by Baptist Health. In addition, Baptist Health's Vice President of Community Investment and Impact actively participates in a community effort that includes businesses, city government and funders to end poverty in Jacksonville. Baptist Jacksonville does not anticipate implementing additional initiatives to address poverty. The hospital does not have sufficient resources to effectuate a significant change in this area and will focus resources on other significant community health needs. Chronic Disease - Baptist Jacksonville through Baptist Health operates 8 Weeks to Healthy Living, a nutrition and physical activity program, in partnership with faith organizations and the YMCA. Baptist Health also operates Healthy Living Centers in YMCA locations in the Baptist Jacksonville service area. Community members, regardless of membership with the YMCA, receive screenings and health coaching through the centers. Also, JaxCareConnect, a collaboration created by the local nonprofit safety net of free charitable clinics to assist uninsured adult Duval County residents find a primary care medical home, is better suited to connect residents with a primary care doctor and navigate community resources to address chronic disease concerns. Last, Baptist Health is a leader and significant sponsor of Blue Zones Jacksonville to increase the health and well-being of Jacksonville residents. The project does not specifically address chronic diseases but does focus on systems level factors to improve the places and spaces people live, work, and play. The prevalence of chronic disease may potentially be impacted by this initiative. Given these long-term investments, the hospital will focus on other significant community health needs, and Baptist Jacksonville does not anticipate implementing additional initiatives to address chronic disease. Transportation - The Jacksonville Transportation Authority, United Way, and other Northeast Florida organizations that Baptist Health collaborates with provide transportation options for residents. In addition, Blue Zones Jacksonville seeks to increase the health and safety of environments to enable residents to enjoy healthier lives. A key component of the Blue Zones work is to address transportation safety. Given this significant investment, Baptist Jacksonville does not have additional resources to commit to transportation needs. The hospital is committed to addressing other social determinants of health. Housing - Baptist Health partners with Habijax to help address housing needs. Baptist Health is committed to addressing social determinants of health and will advocate for ways to ensure residents have the means to a healthy life. Cancer - Baptist MD Anderson Cancer Center is part of the Baptist Jacksonville services and participates in outreach and educational activities throughout Northeast Florida. Given this significant investment in cancer care and education in the Baptist Jacksonville service area, the hospital will focus on other significant community health needs.

Although Baptist South can play a direct role in addressing many health-related priorities, others will require the development of strategic partnerships with community service partners or involve the expertise of the hospital's staff in the development of new and effective efforts that will be administered by other local community organizations. Regardless of the role Baptist South will play in meeting needs, Baptist remains committed to leading and supporting efforts that increase access to care and engage our patients in improving health and community wellbeing, especially through a health equity lens. All Community Health Plan efforts implemented by Baptist South must be measurable, achievable, and financially feasible. This report reflects the goals and strategic objectives identified to address community priorities within Baptist South's influence and scope of service. Access to Care The significant health need of access refers to access issues across the spectrum of both health and quality of life topic areas, including access to health services, transportation, housing, and nutritious food. Access issues were compiled due to their inextricable nature in impacting health behaviors and health outcomes. During the last three-year CHNA cycle, Access to Care was a priority health need addressed by Baptist Medical Center South. As access issues for Duval and St. Johns residents continue to increase, the focus on this priority will continue into the 2022-2024 CHNA cycle Key Issues Identified in the Assessment: * Transportation is identified as a need - 91% of respondents from zip code 32218 (Duval) 74% from zip code 32086 (St. Johns) indicated they do not have access to public transportation. * Factors contributing to chronic disease incidence are many and inclusive of the presence of food deserts, level of access to physical activity, and indoor/outdoor air quality. * Duval County 2018-2020 age-adjusted rates of chronic disease: - Congestive heart failure: The hospitalization rate was 1.95x higher for Black patients than White patients - Diabetes: The hospitalization rate was 2.52x higher for Black patients than White patients * St. Johns County 2018-2020 age-adjusted rate of chronic disease: - Congestive heart failure: The hospitalization rate was 2.06x higher for Black patients than White patients - Congestive heart failure: The hospitalization rate was 1.59x higher for non-Hispanic patients than Hispanic patients - Diabetes: The hospitalization rate was 3.24x higher for Black patients than White patients - Stroke: The death rate was 1.16x higher for White people than Black people - Stroke: The death rate was 1.22x higher for non-Hispanic people than Hispanic people * Cancer is the leading cause of death in the region, followed by heart disease.

Social Determinants of Health While the traditional role of health care is to treat patients' physical symptoms and medical conditions, clinical care accounts for only about 20% of an individual's health outcomes. An individual's habits and behaviors account for about 30% of quality and length of life. The social, economic, and environmental factors, also known as Social Determinants of Health (SDOH), determine 50% of an individual's health outcomes, and they affect an individual's ability to stay healthy and recover from illness, manage chronic conditions, and maintain overall well-being. The Healthy People Initiative organized SDOH around 5 key domains: Economic stability; Education access and quality; Health care access and quality; Neighborhood and built environment; and Social and community context. Key Issues Identified in the Assessment: * Cost of care (copays, prescriptions) was commonly cited as an inhibiting factor for individuals who have difficult accessing medical and dental services. * Top economic issues affecting health also include lack of a living wage and lack of affordable healthcare and insurance in Duval County. * CHNA survey respondents and interviewees indicated a community-wide concern regarding the lack of affordable and safe housing in St. Johns and Duval counties.

Needs Baptist Medical Center South Will Not Address No entity can address all the health needs present in its community. Baptist South is committed to serving the community by adhering to its mission, using its skills and capabilities, and remaining a strong organization so that it can continue to provide a wide range of community benefits. This plan does not include specific strategies to address the following health priorities that were identified in the 2021 Community Health Needs Assessment; however, each of these health needs will continue to be addressed through partnerships and ongoing initiatives: Areas of Poverty - This need is being addressed by other entities in Northeast Florida, including United Way of Northeast Florida, which is supported by Baptist Health. In addition, Baptist Health's Vice President of Community Investment and Impact actively participates in a community effort that includes businesses, city government and funders to end poverty in Duval County. Baptist South does not anticipate implementing additional initiatives to address poverty. The hospital does not have sufficient resources to effectuate a significant change in this area and will focus its resources on other significant community health needs. Chronic Disease - Baptist South through Baptist Health operates 8 Weeks to Healthy Living, a nutrition and physical activity program, in partnership with faith organizations and the YMCA. Baptist Health also operates Healthy Living Centers in YMCA locations in the Baptist South service area. Community members, regardless of membership with the YMCA, receive screenings and health coaching through the centers. Also, JaxCareConnect, a collaboration created by the local nonprofit safety net of free charitable clinics to assist uninsured adult Duval County residents find a primary care medical home, is better suited to connect residents with a primary care doctor and navigate community resources to address chronic disease concerns. Last, Baptist Health is a leader and significant sponsor of Blue Zones Jacksonville to increase the health and well-being of Jacksonville residents. The project does not specifically address chronic diseases but does focus on systems level factors to improve the places and spaces people live, work, and play. The prevalence of chronic disease may potentially be impacted by this initiative. Given these long-term investments, the hospital will focus on other significant community health needs, and Baptist South does not anticipate implementing additional initiatives to address chronic disease. Transportation - The Jacksonville Transportation Authority, United Way, and other Northeast Florida organizations that Baptist Health collaborates with provide transportation options for residents. In addition, Baptist Health seeks to increase the health and safety of environments to enable residents to enjoy healthier lives. A key component of the Blue Zones work is to address transportation safety. Given this significant investment, Baptist South does not have additional resources to commit to transportation needs. The hospital is committed to addressing other social determinants of health. Housing - Baptist Health partners with Habijax and St. Johns Habitat for Humanity to help address housing needs. Baptist Health is committed to addressing social determinants of health and will advocate for ways to ensure residents have the means to a healthy life. Cancer - Baptist MD Anderson Cancer Center is part of the Baptist South services and participates in outreach and educational activities throughout Northeast Florida. Given this significant investment in cancer care and education in the Baptist South service area, the hospital will focus on other significant community health needs.

Social Determinants of Health While the traditional role of health care is to treat patients' physical symptoms and medical conditions, clinical care accounts for only about 20% of an individual's health outcomes. An individual's habits and behaviors account for about 30% of quality and length of life. The social, economic, and environmental factors, also known as Social Determinants of Health (SDOH), determine 50% of an individual's health outcomes, and they affect an individual's ability to stay healthy and recover from illness, manage chronic conditions, and maintain overall well-being. The Healthy People Initiative organized SDOH around 5 key domains: Economic stability; Education access and quality; Health care access and quality; Neighborhood and built environment; and Social and community context. Key Issues Identified in the Assessment: * Cost of care (copays, prescriptions) was a commonly cited concern for medical, dental, and mental health services. * Top economic issues affecting health also include lack of a living wage and lack of affordable healthcare and insurance. * Across all 5 counties, those with access to public transportation reported it can be difficult to navigate or prohibitive due to the length of time it takes to get places. * CHNA survey respondents and interviewees indicated a community-wide concern regarding the lack of affordable and safe housing. * Factors contributing to chronic disease include food deserts, level of access to physical activity, and air quality. * Pedestrian and bicycle safety were also cited as environmental health concerns by respondents. Goals: * Address social needs that keep people sick Strategies: * Increase employment opportunities * Increase access to healthy food * Ensure parks are safe places for children and adults * Research opportunities to address housing and transportation * Implement Fin Help (Aunt Bertha) referral system for patients and community members Metrics/What we are measuring: * Percentage of people hired in low life expectancy zip codes * Percentage of identified FQHC and free clinic patients screened for food insecurity * Percentage of patients connected with food assistance programs * Number of home-delivered food boxes or meals * Evaluate community response and engagement at targeted park improvements * Evaluate level of programming at targeted parks * Evaluate organization's ability to address these social determinants * Number of organizations receiving referrals through Find Help Potential Partnering/External Organizations: * CareerSource * Boys and Girls Club * Feeding Northeast Florida * JTA - Door to Store * Lift Jax - Deb Store * Meals on Wings * Blue Zones Jacksonville * City of Jacksonville Parks and Recreation * Jaguars * Lift Jax * Ability Housing * Jacksonville Transportation Authority * JWB * LISC * Community-based organizations addressing social needs Results: Year 1 (October 1, 2021 - September 30, 2022) * A partnership was created with CareerSource to provide job fairs in identified zip codes.

Needs Wolfson Children's Hospital Will Not Address No entity can address all the health needs present in its community.

This plan does not include specific strategies to address the following health priorities that were identified in the 2021 Community Health Needs Assessment; however, each of these health needs will continue to be addressed through partnerships and ongoing initiatives: Areas of Poverty - This need is being addressed by other entities in Northeast Florida, including United Way of Northeast Florida, which is supported by Baptist Health and Wolfson Children's. In addition, Baptist Health's Vice President of Community Investment and Impact actively participates in a community effort that includes businesses, city government and funders to end poverty in Jacksonville.

The hospital does not have sufficient resources to effectuate a significant change in this area and will focus resources on other significant community health needs.

In addition, Wolfson Children's provides support for the local Play 60 program, the NFL initiative that encourages 6th grade students to get 60 minutes of physical activity a day. To decrease hospital admissions, the Community Asthma Partnership teaches families of children with asthma how to successfully manage the disease.

Also, JaxCareConnect, a collaboration created by the local nonprofit safety net of free charitable clinics to assist uninsured adult Duval County residents find a primary care medical home, is better suited to connect residents with a primary care doctor and navigate community resources to address chronic disease concerns. Last, Wolfson Children's, through Baptist Health is a leader and significant sponsor for Blue Zones Jacksonville which will be working with schools in Duval County to change their environments to increase physical activity and health eating, and decrease obesity, which are causes of chronic diseases. Given these long-term investments, the hospital will focus on other significant community health needs, and Wolfson Children's does not anticipate implementing additional initiatives to address chronic disease. Transportation - The Jacksonville Transportation Authority, United Way, and other Northeast Florida organizations that Baptist Health collaborates with provide transportation options for residents. In addition, Blue Zones Jacksonville seeks to increase the health and safety of environments to enable residents to enjoy healthier lives. A key component of the Blue Zones work is to address transportation safety. Given this significant investment, Wolfson Children's does not have additional resources to commit to transportation needs. The hospital is committed to addressing other social determinants of health. Housing - Habitat for Humanity affiliates, United Way, and other organizations in Northeast Florida are better positioned to assist residents with housing needs.

Baptist Health is committed to addressing social determinants of health and will advocate for ways to ensure residents have the means to a healthy life. Drug Abuse - While mental health is being addressed by Wolfson Children's, drug abuse is not a specific priority that the hospital has the resources to significantly impact. Baptist Health is an active participant in the System of Care Initiative which coordinates services for children and youth with mental illness and substance use disorder. There are many organizations and addiction treatment centers in Northeast Florida that Baptist Health works with that can provide the support systems the community needs. Cancer - Baptist MD Anderson Cancer Center is part of the Wolfson Children's services and participates in outreach and educational activities throughout Northeast Florida. Wolfson Children's also partners with Nemours Children's Specialty Care to provide top-rated cancer care to children in the hospital's service area.
