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.

    Other Useful Tax-exempt Hospital Information: 2021

    • In addition to community benefit and community building expenditures, the Schedule H worksheet includes sections on what percentage of bad debt can be attributable to patients eligible for financial assistance, and questions on the tax-exempt hospital's debt collection policy. When searching a specific tax-exempt hospital in this web tool, Section II provides information about bad debt and the financial assistance policy, and whether the state in which the tax-exempt hospital resides has expanded Medicaid coverage under the federal ACA.

        Is the tax-exempt hospital considered a "sole community hospital" under the Medicare program?NO
    • 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?YES
    • 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?Not available
    • 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?YES

    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

      Facility A, 1 - AMITA HOSPITALS. In Resurrection, Holy Family, Saint Francis, Saint Joseph and Saints Mary and Elizabeth's most recent CHNA, community input was obtained through the following methods. Ascension Illinois partnered with the Alliance for Health Equity on the TY2021 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) for its Cook County hospitals. This collaborative CHNA for Cook County, Illinois was conducted by the Alliance for Health Equity, a collaborative of 35 hospitals working with health departments and community-based organizations to improve health equity, wellness, and quality of life across Chicago and Suburban Cook County. Recognizing its vital importance in understanding the health needs and assets of the community, Alliance for Health Equity consulted with a range of public health and social service providers that represent the broad interest of Cook County. 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, community focus groups and community surveys for the TY21 CHNA. Community focus groups A series of 43 focus groups were conducted by Alliance for Health Equity & its hospital collaborators to gather feedback from the community on the health needs and assets of Cook County. Held between September 2021 and January 2022, most focus groups were 90 minutes in duration with an average of 10 participants. Thirteen sessions were conducted virtually via Zoom and 30 groups were conducted in-person. Populations represented by participants included: - Individuals living with mental health conditions and/or substance use disorders - Older adults - Youth and young adults - Justice involved - Faith communities - LGBTQ+ community members - Individuals living with chronic conditions - Immigrants and refugees - Community Health Workers - Homeless and housing unstable - Low-income families Community surveys A survey was conducted by the Alliance for Health Equity to gather the perceptions, thoughts, opinions, and concerns of the community regarding health outcomes, health behaviors, social determinants of health, and clinical care for Cook County. Over 5,200 individuals participated in the survey, held between September 2021 and December 2021. The data gathered and analyzed provides valuable insight into the issues of importance to the community. The survey contained 24 questions and was available online in English and Spanish. In addition, surveys were collected in paper format at focus groups and at select in-person events. Populations represented by participants included: - Non-English speaking - LGBTQ+ community members - Households with individual(s) with a disability - Youth - Families with children - Low-income persons Key stakeholder focus groups A series of focus groups and listening sessions were conducted by Alliance for Health Equity to gather feedback from key stakeholders on the health needs and assets of Cook County. The Alliance for Health Equity compiled key issues and themes from Forces of Change assessments led by the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH), Cook County Department of Public Health (CCDPH) and the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) then discussed opportunities and barriers related to these key issues with members of the collaborative (both healthcare and community organizations). Sectors represented by participants are noted below for this input that was collected between July 2021 and December 2021.

      Facility A, 1 - AMITA HEALTH SAINT JOSEPH HOSPITAL. Together, AMITA HEALTH SAINT JOSEPH HOSPITAL as part of Presence Chicago Hospitals Network and its collaborative partners and stakeholders have identified the following prioritized health needs in our community on the FY2019/TY2018 Community Health Needs Assessment: Social and Structural Determinants of Health, including policies that advance equity and promote physical and mental well-being, and conditions that support healthy eating and active living. Access to Care, Community Resources, and Systems Improvements, consisting of timely linkage to appropriate care, and resources, referrals, coordination, and connection to community-based services. Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders, especially reducing stigma, increasing the reach and coordination of behavioral health services, and addressing the opioid epidemic. Chronic Condition Prevention and Management, focusing especially on metabolic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension, and on asthma, cancer, and complex chronic conditions. However, certain factors impact the Presence Chicago Hospitals Network ability to fully address all of the identified needs. Presence Chicago Hospitals Network will not directly address the following focus areas/priorities identified in the 2019 CHNA: - Economic Vitality and Workforce Development - Education and Youth Development - Housing, Transportation, and Neighborhood Environment - Maternal and Child Health - Violence and Community Safety, Injury - Trauma-Informed Care While critically important to overall community health, these specific priorities did not meet internal criteria that further prioritized how to achieve the greatest community impact. For these areas not chosen, there are service providers in the community better resourced to address these priorities. Presence Chicago Hospitals Network will work collaboratively with and support these organizations as appropriate to ensure service coordination and utilization. The information below describes actions taken in the reporting period from the Presence Chicago Hospitals Network 2019-2022 Implementation Strategy plans and other priority programs designed to address each priority need including any indicators for improvement. In 2020-2021, due to the continued COVID-19 pandemic, some of its community priorities were shifted to meet the immediate needs of the communities that we serve as well as provided COVID-19 vaccination efforts for associates and the community. The hospitals remained focused on continued re-emergence of implementation strategy plans while addressing other key issues exacerbated by the pandemic, such as food insecurity, COVID-19 vaccination efforts and connecting people to vital resources in the community. Saint Joseph Hospital Social & Structural Determinants of Health Strategy: Common Pantry Financial Counselor Progress: In FY22, the Common Pantry Financial Counselor program had challenges due to the continued pandemic. The financial counselor referred clients to the Laboure Clinic and assisted 99 clients for access to care services during the tax year. Access to Care, Community Resources & Systems Improvement Strategy: Community Resource Directory (Aunt Bertha/Findhelp.org) Progress: Saint Joseph associates utilized the social determinant of health software, Aunt Bertha, to connect and refer patients to local resources such as food pantry, health clinics, utilities support and more. Additionally, an external website is hosted for the community as a community benefit to search for their own resources. In FY22, additional community partners were added to the resource portal and training held for Community Based Organizations and internal associates. There are on average 4,610 resources available in the directory for the hospital community. Mental Health & Substance Use Disorder Strategy: Mental Health First Aid Trainings Progress: In FY22, Saint Joseph Hospital continued reaching out to external partners to host trainings. In FY22, one youth training session was held for 13 community participants. Chronic Condition Prevention & Management Strategy: Diabetes Prevention Program Progress: Due to the pandemic, the Diabetes Prevention Program was not provided in FY22. The certified diabetic educator provided 15 virtual support group sessions during the tax year. Additionally, beginning in 2021, Ascension Illinois partnered with the Alliance for Health Equity on the TY2021 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) for its Cook County hospitals. This collaborative CHNA for Cook County, Illinois was conducted by the Alliance for Health Equity, a collaborative of 35 hospitals working with health departments and community-based organizations to improve health equity, wellness, and quality of life across Chicago and Suburban Cook County. The following are the significant that were determined from the assessment: - Social and Structural Determinants of Health - Access to Care and Community Resources - Prevention and Treatment of Priority Health Conditions: Chronic Conditions, COVID-19, Injury (including violence related), Maternal and Child Health, Mental Health, Substance Use Disorders Presence Chicago Hospitals Network intends to prioritize these significant needs to address in the next implementation strategy plan. As the TY2021 Community Health Needs Assessment was approved at the end of the fiscal year, no actions have yet been taken during the tax year. AMITA Health Saint Joseph Hospital Chicago will not directly address the following focus areas/priorities identified in the 2019 CHNA: - Economic Vitality and Workforce Development - Education and Youth Development - Housing, Transportation, and Neighborhood Environment - Violence and Community Safety, Injury, including Violence-related injury - Trauma-Informed Care - Maternal and Child Health The community health needs assessment inevitably identified more significant health needs than the hospitals, health system, and community partners can or should address as priority health needs. While critically important to overall community health, these specific priorities did not meet internally determined criteria that prioritized addressing needs by either continuing or expanding current programs, services, and initiatives to steward resources and achieve the greatest community impact. For these areas not chosen, there are service providers in the community better resourced to address these priorities. AMITA Health Saint Joseph Hospital Chicago will work collaboratively with these organizations as appropriate to ensure optimal service coordination and utilization.
