| Community Benefit Report |
THE FOLLOWING IS AN EXCERPT FROM THE 2017 COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT General Overview Chinese Hospital is a unique healthcare provider within the City and County of San Francisco, having a long and rich history of providing access to culturally competent health care services to the Chinese Community. In 1900, the Tung Wah Dispensary opened in San Franciscos Chinatown, and by the early 1920s outgrown its space as other San Francisco providers continued to deny health care access for the local Chinese community. With visionary acumen, fifteen community organizations established a non-profit public benefit corporation in 1923 - the Chinese Hospital Association. The fifteen founding members of the Board of Trustees raised funds for construction of a new facility at 835 Jackson Street, and in October 1925 celebrated the grand opening of the first Chinese Hospital. In the mid-1970s Chinese Hospital required a brand new facility. Once again the Board of Trustees conducted extensive fund raising and received Hill Burton funding for construction of the current hospital facility that opened in September 1979 at 845 Jackson Street, next door to the original Chinese Hospital, and maintaining a licensed bed capacity of 54 beds. Chinese Hospital opened an eight-story new tower in October 2016. This will enable Chinese Hospital to better serve the needs of the community. Licensed beds increased to 65 beds. New services include an Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scanner (MRI); an expanded standby Emergency Department; 4 bed Outpatient Observation Unit; a Support Health Services clinic (which supports the community physicians and their patients by providing health educational needs); expanded and new outpatient Pharmacy; expanded Cardio-Pulmonary Unit (new body box for pulmonary functions testing, two new tread mills for stress tests); 3rd and 4th floor Medical and Surgical Units with private rooms; Surgery Department expanded from 2 Operating Rooms to 4- new and state of the art ORs; new Intensive Care Units expanded to 6-private rooms with new state of the art equipment for monitoring patients; and new state of the art Telemetry Unit, with 12 beds. An Integrated Delivery System In the mid-1980s, managed care programs surfaced in the San Francisco Bay Area. Through a collaborative program with Blue Shield of California, Chinese Hospital and its physician partner organization (Chinese Community Health Care Association) created Chinese Community Health Plan (CCHP). In 1987, Blue Shield transferred the health plan to the ownership of Chinese Hospital, which received its own Knox-Keene license from the State of California Department of Corporations. Chinese Community Health Plan provides low-cost commercial insurance products for individual and employer groups, most of which represent small Asian businesses. Our fully integrated healthcare delivery system also serves managed care Medicare and Medi-Cal enrollees in the community. In 2009, CCHP expanded its coverage to Northern San Mateo County. Chinese Hospital and its physician partners, Jade Healthcare Medical Group, Chinese Community Health Care Association (CCHCA), serve Medicare, Medi-Cal and commercial enrollees. Chinese Hospital Association also partners with Blue Cross, Blue Shield, Aetna, San Francisco Health Plan, Healthy Kids San Francisco, United Healthcare, HealthNet and CCHP. The Jade Healthcare Medical Group is a for-profit physicians independent practice association (IPA), organized in 2016 with the mission to improve the health of our community by delivering high-quality, affordable healthcare through culturally competent and linguistically appropriate services. In 1989, the three associations Chinese Hospital, the Chinese Community Health Care Association (CCHCA), and Chinese Community Health Plan (CCHP) established of the Chinese Community Health Resource Center (CCHRC), a non-profit community center with the mission to build a healthy community through culturally and linguistically competent preventive health, disease management, and research programs. CCHRC has maintained a health resource library. To increase healthcare access for the expanding Chinese population in the western part of San Francisco, Chinese Hospital and Chinese Community Health Care Association created the Sunset Health Services Community Clinic in 1997. The community clinic, staffed by physicians specialized in General Medicine, Internal Medicine, Women's Health, Cardiology, Podiatry, Gastroenterology and Oncology, provides a wide range of culturally competent health care services such as primary care with subspecialties: preventive care services, womens health services, health education, and laboratory services. The clinic is also staffed with nurse practitioners, acupuncturists and other clinical personnel who speak Mandarin, Cantonese, Tagalog and English. Chinese Hospital will continue to bring culturally competent healthcare to the Chinese in southern part of San Francisco and northern San Mateo County, as demonstrated by our two clinics in the area. Chinese Hospital will continue to support the community physicians and be a valued resource in the City for the Asian population. Chinese Hospital opened its Support Health Services clinic in Chinatown, in 2008. Staffed by a nurse practitioner (NP), the clinic helps manage patients, in our community, with chronic disease at no cost, with aim to promote effective chronic disease self-management. The clinic also offers management in diabetes, nutritional consult, hypertension, womens health, and anticoagulation therapy. The Support Health Services, along with the satellite clinics also provide a comprehensive immunization program to meet the need of the community, such as childhood immunizations, Hepatitis B, Tdap and Influenza & Pneumococcal vaccination. The leadership for charity care at Chinese Hospital starts with our Chief Executive Officer. Dr. Jian Zhang, serves on several non-profit boards as a member of Board of Directors and is an active member of the Chinese community Cardiac Council, American Hospital Association (she serves as a voice to provide care and education for ethnic groups and their health disparities), the San Francisco Health Authority Board, NICOS Chinese Health Coalition, San Francisco Health Improvement Partnership and the Chinese Community Health Resource Center. Many hospital staff members are also active on health coalition boards: such as, AANCART (Asian American Network for Cancer Awareness, Research and Training), Asian Alliance against Domestic Violence, San Francisco Hepatitis B Free campaign, San Francisco Bay Area American Diabetic Association Board, to name a few. 2017 INVENTORY OF CHINESE HOSPITALS COMMUNITY BENEFIT SERVICES AND ACTIVITIES Chinese Hospitals community benefit services include a broad array of services aimed at meeting the needs of the poor, vulnerable populations and the broader community.
