PART IV, SECTION D, LINE 3
THE FOUNDATION'S BOARD INCLUDES FIVE DIRECTORS WHO HAVE BEEN APPOINTED BY THE BOARD OF JEFFERSON HOSPITAL AND THE ALLEGHENY HEALTH NETWORK. THESE JEFFERSON HOSPITAL-APPOINTED DIRECTORS SERVE AS VOTING MEMBERS ON ALL OF THE FOUNDATION'S COMMITTEES, INCLUDING THE EXECUTIVE, GOVERNANCE, GRANTS, AND FINANCE COMMITTEES. AS SUCH THESE JEFFERSON HOSPITAL-APPOINTED DIRECTORS EXERCISE A SIGNIFICANT VOICE IN DETERMINING THE FOUNDATION'S INVESTMENT POLICY, GRANTMAKING GUIDELINES AND AWARDS, AND ALSO PROVIDE FINANCIAL OVERSIGHT. IN ADDITION, THE FOUNDATION ENGAGES IN CONTINUAL COMMUNICATION WITH JEFFERSON HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT.
PART IV, SECTION E, LINE 2A
THE FOUNDATION SUPPORTS THE MISSION OF JEFFERSON HOSPITAL, PART OF THE ALLEGHENY HEALTH NETWORK, WHOSE EXEMPT PURPOSE INCLUDES IMPROVING THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF THE INDIVIDUALS IN ITS SERVICE AREA, AND THIS PURPOSE IS SUBSTANTIALLY LIKE THE FOUNDATION'S MISSION. THE FOUNDATION'S ACTIVITIES DIRECTLY FURTHER JEFFERSON HOSPITAL'S EXEMPT PURPOSE BY FOCUSING ON PROGRAMS THAT SUPPORT IMPROVING THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF THE COMMUNITY OF JEFFERSON HOSPITAL, AND BUT FOR THE FOUNDATION'S ACTIONS JEFFERSON HOSPITAL WOULD BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE THIS SUPPORT TO ADDRESS ITS COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS. THE FOUNDATION ENSURES THAT IT IS RESPONSIVE TO JEFFERSON HOSPITAL BY REMAINING IN CONTINUAL COMMUNICATION WITH JEFFERSON HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT, INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT AND COO OF JEFFERSON HOSPITAL, THROUGH PARTICIPATION IN JEFFERSON HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS, AND (AS NOTED IN PART IV, SECTION D) WITH THE GUIDANCE OF BOARD MEMBERS SELECTED BY HIGHMARK/ALLEGHENY HEALTH NETWORK. THE FOUNDATION ENSURES THAT ITS DIRECT FURTHERANCE ACTIVITIES CONSTITUTE SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF ITS ACTIVITIES BECAUSE EVERY GRANT IT CONSIDERS IS REVIEWED BY A GRANTS COMMITTEE WHOSE INTERNAL GUIDELINES REQUIRE IT TO CONSIDER HOW THE GRANTS CONSIDERED ALIGN WITH BOTH THE HOSPITAL'S AND THE FOUNDATION'S MISSIONS. GRANTS THAT DO NOT MEET THIS ALIGNMENT ARE GENERALLY REJECTED.
PART IV, SECTION E, LINE 2B
PURSUANT TO SECTION 501(R) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, JEFFERSON HOSPITAL (HOSPITAL), AS A REQUIREMENT FOR MAINTAINING ITS TAX-EXEMPT STATUS, MUST DEMONSTRATE THAT IT IS ADEQUATELY ADDRESSING THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES IN ITS SERVICE AREA. AS PART OF THIS REQUIREMENT, THE HOSPITAL IS REQUIRED TO ENGAGE IN A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) AND DEVOTE RESOURCES TO PROJECTS THAT WILL AMELIORATE THE CONCERNS RAISED BY THE CHNA. BY PARTICIPATING IN THE CHNA PROCESS, ENSURING THAT THE FOUNDATION'S PRIORITIES CONTINUE TO ALIGN WITH THOSE OF THE HOSPITAL, AND MAINTAINING CONTINUOUS COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE HOSPITAL'S MANAGEMENT AND STAKEHOLDERS, THE FOUNDATION ENSURES THAT IT IS WELL VERSED IN THE PRIORITIES IMPACTED BY THE HOSPITAL SERVICE AREA. THE FOUNDATION CAN THEN LEVERAGE ITS COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS TO HELP IDENTIFY AND PROMOTE ACTIVITIES THAT WILL ADVANCE THE GOALS OF THE HOSPITAL AS DOCUMENTED IN THE CHNA, WHILE ALSO PROVIDING THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES THAT THE HOSPITAL LACKS TO IMPLEMENT, MONITOR, AND OBJECTIVELY EVALUATE THESE PROGRAMS. THE HOSPITAL HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE FOUNDATION'S EFFORTS BY INCLUDING SEVERAL FOUNDATION PROJECTS IN ITS IMPLEMENTATION PLAN OF ITS CHNA. THE MOST RECENT THE HOSPITAL/AHN CHNA, WITH IMPLEMENTATION BEGINNING IN 2022, DEMONSTRATES THE CONTINUED ALIGNMENT OF THE FOUNDATION'S MISSION AND PRIORITIES. SEVERAL FOUNDATION GRANTS AND INITIATIVES ARE INCLUDED AS PART OF THE CHNA IMPLEMENTATION PLAN. THESE INCLUDE MENTAL HEALTH OUTREACH, MEDICALLY TAILORED FOOD BOXES, AND THE FRONT DOOR INITIATIVE. MANY OTHER INITIATIVES SUPPORT THESE CHNA GOAL AREAS, A FEW ARE ALSO DETAILED BELOW. IN 2021, THE FOUNDATION CEO WAS INTERVIEWED AS PART OF THE AHN'S CURRENT PROCESS OF UPDATING ITS CHNA. A MAJOR EXAMPLE OF ALIGNMENT IS A GOAL RELATED TO THE CONTINIUUM OF CARE THROUGH ADDRESSING THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. THE FRONT DOOR INITIATIVE IS A $1 MILLION MULTI-YEAR GRANT, THE LARGEST TO DATE AWARDED TO DATE BY THE FOUNDATION, TO THE HOSPITAL OF ALLEGHENY HEALTH NETWORK (AHN) IN 2018. IT SUPPORTED THE EXPLORATION OF A MODEL OF ADDRESSING THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH IN ITS EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT. THE FRONT DOOR PROGRAM INCLUDES EMERGENCY ROOM SCREENING FOR SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, REFERRALS TO APPROPRIATE RESOURCES, COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS, STAFF TRAINING AND PARTNERSHIPS WITH COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS. THE FOUNDATION HAS BEEN A STRONG PARTNER IN THIS PROJECT. FOR EXAMPLE, THE HOSPITAL CHNA INCLUDES BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AS A MAJOR AREA OF FOCUS AND A PARTICULAR STRATEGY TO MEASURE OUTREACH OF THE MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID (MHFA) PROGRAM IN THE AREA. THE HOSPITAL'S COMMITMENT TO EXPAND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES TO ADOLESCENTS AND ADULTS HAS BEEN SUPPORTED WITH A MULTI-YEAR FOUNDATION GRANT AWARDED IN DECEMBER 2016 ($180,000) TO BUILD THE UNIT'S STAFFING CAPACITY FOR COMMUNITY EDUCATION, OUTREACH AND PARTNERSHIPS WHICH WOULD STRENGTHEN PREVENTION AND REFERRALS. THE OUTREACH ROLE INCLUDES COORDINATING AN EVIDENCE-BASED TRAINING PROGRAM CALLED MHFA WHICH HAS SUCCESSFULLY TRAINED NEARLY 1000 COMMUNITY RESIDENTS, AND HOSPITAL AND COMMUNITY-BASED PROFESSIONALS IN THE JEFFERSON AREA OVER SEVERAL YEARS WITH THE TARGETED SUPPORT OF THE FOUNDATION AND ITS NETWORK OF ORGANIZATIONS IN THE JEFFERSON COLLABORATIVE. THE FOUNDATION'S EARLY SUPPORT OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH EXPANSION HAS MORE RECENTLY LED TO THE DEVELOPMENT AND EXPANSION OF A HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL SCHOOL-BASED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROGRAM (CHILL) BASED ON A MINDFULNESS CURRICULUM. THE FOUNDATION HAS ALSO PROVIDED AN ADDITIONAL GRANT FOR PROFESSIONAL EVALUATION OF CHILL TO FURTHER ESTABLISH ITS EFFICACY, VALUE, AND IMPACT. THE HOSPITAL CHNA WISELY INCLUDES ACCESS TO CARE. A 2018 GRANT FROM THE FOUNDATION TO THE GREATER PITTSBURGH COMMUNITY FOOD BANK PILOTED THE DISTRIBUTION OF MEDICALLY TAILORED FOOD BOXES TO FOOD INSECURE PATIENTS AT THE HOSPITAL HEALTH CENTER AS A TOOL FOR PATIENT RECOVERY AND IMPROVED HEALTH STABILITY. THIS WORK HAS SUPPORTED JEFFERSON/AHN'S PRIORITY AND CREATED A PATHWAY FOR THE CREATION OF THE JEFFERSON HEALTHY FOOD CENTER ONSITE IN 2020. IN ADDITION TO ALIGNMENT WITH THE CHNA, THE FOUNDATION'S RELATIONSHIP WITH THE HOSPITAL INCLUDES MANY OTHER RECENT AND ONGOING OPPORTUNITIES FOR EXTENDING OUR JOINT MISSIONS. THE FOUNDATION HAS PROVIDED GRANT FUNDING SUPPORT TO THE HOSPITAL/AHN PROGRAM CALLED TALENT ATTRACTION PROGRAM. THE PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO EXECUTE AN ALLIED HEALTH TRAINING PROGRAM IN COLLABORATION WITH LOCAL EDUCATIONAL PARTNERS WHICH WILL ASSIST DIVERSE STUDENTS IN OVERCOMING IDENTIFIED BARRIERS AND CLEARY DEFINE A PATHWAY TO BE HIRED INTO ALLIED HEALTH POSITIONS AT JEFFERSON HOSPITAL. BUILDING AND ENGAGING A DIVERSE WORKFORCE IS A PARTICULAR GOAL OF THE HOSPITAL AND THE ENTIRE AHN NETWORK AND THIS PROJECT IS EMBRACED AS PART OF A LARGER EFFORT OF THE AHN EQUITABLE HEALTH INSTITUTE. WE CONTINUE TO BUILD ON A STRONG HISTORY OF RELATIONSHIPS AND JOINT PROGRAMS BETWEEN THE FOUNDATION AND THE HOSPITAL. THE HOSPITAL OUTREACH STAFF MEET WITH AND CONSULT WITH FOUNDATION STAFF ON LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS AND PROJECTS. THE HOSPITAL WAS ONE OF THE JEFFERSON COUNTS 2020 CENSUS CHAMPIONS IN AN INITIATIVE HOSTED BY THE FOUNDATION AND JEFFERSON COLLABORATIVE. THE HOSPITAL ENGAGED ALL ITS EMPLOYEES IN CENSUS EDUCATION THROUGH POPULAR DEPARTMENT COMPETITIONS AND RECEIVED EXTENSIVE NEWS COVERAGE FOR ITS PICTURES OF MATERNITY INFANTS WEARING I COUNT ONESIES IN MARCH 2002 AS APRIL 1 CENSUS DAY APPROACHED (SUPPORTED BY A FOUNDATION MINIGRANTS). THE HOSPITAL STAFF ATTENDED A FOUNDATION FORUM WORKSHOP ON CULTURAL HUMILITY IN 2019 WHICH SUBSEQUENTLY WAS PILOTED AT THE HOSPITAL AND THEN EXPANDED AS TRAINING FOR THE ENTIRE HOSPITAL NETWORK IN 2020. THIS YEAR, THE FOUNDATION PROVIDED ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO THE HOSPITAL IN THE FORM OF A $125,000 PLANNING GRANT FOR THE FRONT DOOR INITIATIVE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH DUQUESNE UNIVERSITY TO IDENTIFY A MORE COMPREHENSIVE DATADRIE APPROACH TO COMMUNITY HEALTH.
