Transcription

1 MLH System Community Benefit Report 2012 At Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare, we take our mission seriously and are committed to giving back to the community in a meaningful way. We continue to be the largest provider of TennCare services in the state, and our facilities serve all areas of the city and county. As a faith-based institution, access to healthcare for all of the community is important to us. By far, the largest percentage of MLH is the MHMH hospitals: Methodist Healthcare-Memphis Hospitals includes Methodist University Hospital, Methodist North Hospital, Methodist South Hospital, Methodist Le Bonheur Germantown Hospital and Le Bonheur Children s Hospital. Each of those entities gives much to the community each year and is supported by Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare. In 2012, Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare provided more than $143,700,000 million of net community benefit expense to Charity, Medicaid, TennCare, Medical Education, and community services. Net community benefit expense is calculated using a standard approach as required for government benefit reporting. Medical Education and Research Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare supports via direct salary and benefit contributions to the University of Tennessee graduate medical training positions (GME) at Methodist University Hospital, Le Bonheur Children s Medical Center, and Methodist Le Bonheur Germantown Hospital. These GME residents and fellows are employees and trainees at the University of Tennessee, but their financial support for salaries and benefits comes via Methodist. These trainees spend time at a Methodist hospital during the periods of Methodist support and are involved in patient care in addition to educational activities. Methodist supported the University of Tennessee Health Science Center with $27 million in education and training. Church Health Center/Christ Community Health Services As an early supporter of the Church Health Center, Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare strongly believes in its mission to serve the working poor. From its beginnings as a project of St. John's United Methodist Church and of Dr. Scott Morris to the comprehensive community resource it is today, the Church Health Center provides affordable health care, dentistry, optometry, pastoral counseling, and health education to those who need these services in Memphis. Methodist Healthcare is proud to support this worthy endeavor. Methodist helps support the

2 Church Health Center by providing patient care free of charge. We also gave $1,000 to support their Rock for Love concert/fundraiser. Methodist supported the MEMPHIS Plan in 2012 with $ 10 million in funds. The MEMPHIS Plan is the Church Health Center s employer-sponsored healthcare plan for small businesses and the self-employed. However, it is not health insurance. By relying on donated services from volunteer doctors, area hospitals and laboratories, the MEMPHIS Plan offers uninsured people in lower-wage jobs access to quality, affordable healthcare. This includes primary and specialty care, hospitalization and other medical services. The MEMPHIS Plan provides healthcare for uninsured working people who fall through the cracks of the current healthcare system because they earn too much to qualify for state or federal programs. It also answers the need of small business owners who care about their employees but cannot afford to provide traditional health insurance. With the MEMPHIS Plan, employers can provide an essential benefit while enhancing job productivity and retaining valued employees. Christ Community Health Services has focused on fulfilling the physical, spiritual and emotional needs of the poor, the uninsured and the homeless in Memphis since Through strategically placed health care centers and outreach programs, they provide high-quality health care and other services to thousands of patients, caregivers, students and families each year. Methodist provided $5,631,977 for patients of The Church Health Center and Christ Community. Community Education Methodist University Hospital hosted two education symposiums for the EMS community: "When Every Second Counts" Pre-Hospital Care Cardiac Symposium on May 22nd, with 192 attendees and "When Every Second Counts" Pre-Hospital Care Neuro Symposium on November 15 th with 219 attendees. Total cost of these offerings was $45,776. Methodist Healthcare provided training for 6,119 nurses, therapists, physicians, and other medical professionals from outside our organization either through conferences, rotations, or job shadowing. Le Bonheur Community Health and Well-Being Le Bonheur Children s Hospital s Community Health and Well-Being Division extends the work of the hospital beyond its walls. Through a variety of programs, we make a difference in the everyday lives of children in communities throughout

3 the region. While these programs are largely funded by grants, Methodist also provided monies to support these programs. The department provided: 17,054 health screenings for children throughout the community. 15,927 HIV screenings for children and adults Pharmacy assistance with $608,450 saved. 8 telemedicine consultations A variety of programs addressing issues such as teen pregnancy, fatherhood training, injury prevention and safety, community fitness, diversity swim lessons, crisis intervention, fire safety, nutrition classes, parenting classes and dispatch of our mobile medical unit were implemented in 25 counties in West Tennessee, eastern Arkansas, and northern Mississippi. Donations to the general community were made of 2,845 child safety items, including car seats, cribs, mattresses, sheet sets, and smoke detectors. Methodist Healthcare Foundation The Foundation raises funds to benefit and strengthen the Methodist Hospital programs and Centers of Excellence. Funds raised enhance clinical and research initiatives, underwrite costs for facilities, technicians and equipment and bridge the gap between what hospital reimbursement covers and what is necessary to stay on the cutting edge of medical science. In 2012, the Foundation provided $2,571,271 in support of these programs, all which benefited the community. Here are some highlights: The Foundation raised funds to open the Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center, located at Methodist University Hospital. Funds were also raised to endow clinical and research leader for the center. Over 100 patients have registered and are now receiving comprehensive preventative care for their sickle cell disease. Many years ago, the Methodist Foundation established The Humanitarian Fund which helps Methodist associates in times of crisis (i.e., fire, crime, death). In 2012, the Foundation provided $358,868 in support of these associates. The Methodist Foundation awarded college scholarships to children and dependents of Associates who plan to pursue a career in a health-related field of study.

A total of 18,742 physicians and 946 non physicians attended. In 2012, the Physicians Research Network had 531 open clinical research protocols. The PRN operates under the umbrella of the Methodist Healthcare Foundation and facilitates adult and pediatric research within the hospitals. PRN provides study coordination, support services, and regulatory assistance to investigators managing inpatient and outpatient clinical research trials.

Faith and Health Division The Faith and Health Division fulfills its mission in our MH-MH hospitals and in the community, particularly through area churches. It is responsible for the continuum of pastoral services which include those offered inside the walls of our hospitals as well as through partnerships with congregations and community partners. The Congregational Health Network is a covenant relationship between MH-MH, Mid-South congregations and community health organizations. The CHN provides a network of 511 congregations and faith communities that are partnering with us to share the ministry of caring for our patients helping people navigate the journey from home to medical care and back. The goal of this program is to more intentionally build stronger relationships and bridges between local faith communities and Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare (MLH) in order to improve the patient journey through the MLH system and more
