3 Our Commitment to the Community Who we Are Driven by the passion to enhance the lives of children who are affected by special health care needs, Shriners Hospitals for Children (SHC) has been providing philanthropic care for 90 years. The groundbreaking of the first hospital in Shreveport, Louisiana in 1922 was rooted in the pressing need for orthopedic care, due to the after effects of the widespread polio virus at the time. Since then, Shriners unwavering commitment to care, research, and education, has expanded into a program of twenty-two hospitals in three countries, caring not only for orthopaedic conditions, but also burns, spinal cord injuries, and cleft lip and palate, regardless of a family s ability to pay. Shriners Hospital for Children - CHNA Page 3

4 Within the United States, the Hospital serves the state of Hawaii, where 78% of the Hospital s treated children reside. The Hospital, established in 1923, is the second Hospital established within the Shriners twenty-two hospital system. The Hospital is a state-of-the-art, 24-bed pediatric orthopedic hospital situated in the heart of the main island, Oahu, in the Makiki district. The Hospital treats children through the age of twenty-one with neuromusculoskeletal conditions and certain other health care needs. The State of Hawaii Figure 1 The state of Hawaii is an island chain comprised of eight main islands: Hawaii, Maui, Molokai, Lanai, Kahoolawe, Oahu (where SHC is located), Kauai, and Niihau. Islands are classified into four counties, all of which SHC serves. The four counties are Kauai,, Maui, and Hawaii. SHC s service area excludes three islands: 1) Kahoolawe, as it is still a developing island and 2) Niihau and Lanai, as they are privately owned. Figure 1 above shows the categorization of islands by county. Shriners Hospital for Children - CHNA Page 4

5 Bridging Access Gaps for Our Children 80.0% 70.0% 60.0% 50.0% 40.0% 30.0% 20.0% 10.0% 0.0% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Hawaii Kauai Maui Population Distribution by Children served by Hawaii Kauai Maui Population Distribution by Children served by Figure 2 Aware of access to care challenges that our neighbor island children face, SHC provides on-site outreach clinics and arranges or assists with travel and lodging expenses for patients to Oahu, where the Hospital is situated, as necessary. By offering this all-encompassing support, the population distribution of children throughout the counties is a close match to the percentage distribution of children served per county by SHC, as seen in Figure 2, indicating that outreach programs are bridging access gaps. The percentages are based on 2012 data. Shriners Hospital for Children - CHNA Page 5

6 Our International Children Figure 3 To date, SHC- has treated over 30,000 children. Approximately 20% of our patients reside outside the continental United States and Hawaii. Beyond the United States, the location cares for children from the Asia Pacific region. As with our neighbor island children, this population is reached via outreach programs and sponsored travel. Figure 3 is a map of the outlying areas that SHC serves. Shriners Hospital for Children - CHNA Page 6

7 The Purpose of this (CHNA) As part of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), all organizations, including tax exempt Internal Revenue Service code 501(c)(3) entities, operating one or more state-licensed hospital facilities, are required to adhere to newly established mandates. Under the PPACA, a hospital organization is required to conduct a CHNA for each of its hospital facilities once every three years. The CHNA must be in writing and made available to the general public. A hospital organization is also required to adopt an implementation strategy to meet the needs identified through the CHNA. The implementation strategy is a written plan that describes how the facility plans to meet the CHNA identified health need(s) or conversely, a plan that explains why the facility does not intend to meet certain identified need(s). The implementation strategy is considered adopted on the date the strategy is approved by the organization s board of directors or by a committee of the board or other parties legally authorized by the board to act on its behalf. The formal adoptation of the implemenation strategy must occur by the end of the taxable year in which the written CHNA report was made available to the public. The CHNA requirements are effective for taxable years beginning after March 23, These requirements are encapsulated on the IRS Form 990, Schedule H. The Shriners Home Office has elected to make the first CHNAs available to the public on our website by June 30, Transcending the essential purpose of the CHNA; however, is SHC s ultimate vision of the report. Shriners Hospital for Children - CHNA Page 7

8 Our Vision of the CHNA Although SHC- s mission is to serve children with neuromusculoskeltal conditions, the community that we service is more broadly, children with special needs. In concert and collaboration with our sister hospitals in the state, we are committed to meeting the special health-care needs of this community, a large portion of which are medically underserved, low-income, and minority populations, including populations with specific needs associated with chronic diseases. As a result, we are partnering and soliciting input from passionate experts who advocate on behalf of Hawaii s special needs pediatric population. These experts represent broad interests of the community that we serve and are individuals with special knowledge and expertise in public health. The CHNA findings will be used as a springboard for the development of initiatives that can be undertaken to enhance the health status of our community. The CHNA will be the catalyst that guides us toward evolving and/or enhancing our services to meet the disparate needs of the pediatric specialneeds communities that we serve.

9 Process and Methods Internal Processes and Methodologies Forming the Assessment Advisory Committee The Healthcare Association of Hawaii (HAH), the state s hospital and provider trade association, spearheaded the community-wide CHNA which included ALL hospitals and hospital systems in Hawaii that were subject to the PPACA CHNA requirements. The Chief Financial Officers of each hospital were the charter group in the initial HAH collaborative launch. In line with the HAH community-wide approach, the Assessment Advisory Committee at Shriners was also centralized within the Fiscal Department. In addition to topic expertise, the department is familiar with the Internal Revenue Service s Schedule H Form 990 requirements. Beyond the immediate team, the Hospital Administrator, Gene Raynaud, provided critical oversight to the Assessment Advisory Committee. Shriners Organization-Wide Collaboration The Shriners Home Office s Department of Planning and Business Development led the systematic coordination effort by providing milestone maps, demographic data, website links, templates, online discussions, and weekly teleconferences. This discussion amongst facilities was vital in promoting idea diffusion, particularly of data collection methodology. For process consistency, the Home Office purchased a comprehensive toolkit that was made available for use by all hospitals. This toolkit provided step-by-step guidance for completing the assessment. The Home Office also developed a report template for use by all hospitals. Ultimately; however, the completion of the report s narrative and data presentation (within the template-established sections) was the responsibility of and at the discretion of each hospital. Board approval of each hospital s report is required prior to posting on the Shriners website. Shriners Hospital for Children - CHNA Page 9

10 Internal Assessment Continuously attuned to the health needs of the children with special needs population that we serve, SHC conducted an abbreviated, internal CHNA back in September Our facilityinitiated assessment captured the prevalence of developmental issues our children face, a dire need we became aware of in part due to our constant and ongoing interfacing with our community partners. The PPACA mandated external assessment, the CHNA, required analysis of our hospital s served population from a broad perspective so that all other community disparities could be uncovered. The findings from the PPACA mandated CHNA corroborated our initial assessment findings, and deepened our understanding of all issues faced by our served population. Shriners Hospital for Children - CHNA Page 10

11 External Processes and Methodologies Key Informants SHC s CHNA community partners are all well-respected and knowledgeable individuals with special expertise in public health. Additionally, they represent the broader interests of and are advocates for Hawaii s pediatric special needs community, served by SHC. They provided rich information into the community health needs of the special needs population. Secondary data findings statistically validated the information that we received from our key informants. A brief synopsis of their biographies are as follow: Louise Iwaishi, MD: Dr. Iwaishi is Shriners s Chief of Pediatrics. She is acutely versed to the needs of the pediatric population and was a critical partner in solidifying the infrastructure and the direction of the assessment. Her expert roles include being Director of the Community Pediatrics Institute at the University of Hawaii s John A. Burns School of Medicine. Additionally, she is the Medical Director at the State of Hawaii Department of Health (DOH), Family Health Services Division and the Principle Investigator for the state health department s Maternal Child Health (MCH) Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (LEND) program, a federally funded interdisciplinary graduate training program. Dr. Iwaishi also provides consultation to the State Departments of Health, Education and Human Services and participates in numerous local, state and national organizations related to children with special health care needs especially those who are medically fragile. Leolinda Parlin: Working closely with Dr. Iwaishi, Ms. Parlin is the co-director of the Hawaii MCH LEND Program. Ms. Parlin also serves as the Project Director of the HRSA (Health Resources and Services Administration) funded Hilopaʻa Family to Family Health Information Center (F2FHIC) and is the State Coordinator for Family Voices of Hawaii, an advocacy organization for Hawaii s CSHCN and their families. The F2FHIC serves as the Hawaii State Medicaid Ombudsman, assisting consumers and providers across the state in accessing services. As Project Director of the F2FHIC, Ms. Parlin represents members of medically underserved, low income, minority populations and populations with chronic disease needs. Shriners Hospital for Children - CHNA Page 11

12 Dorothy Colby, RN, MPH: Dorothy Colby is the DOH Children with Special Health Needs Branch, Children and Youth with Special Health Needs Section supervisor. She and her staff were instrumental in conducting the children with special health care needs surveys and planning activities in the statewide assessment that the DOH Family Health Services Division leads every five years for the Maternal and Child Health Services Title V Block Grant Program. She provided the SHC team with a copy of the assessment, which was one of the team s main secondary resources. Shriners Hospital for Children - CHNA Page 12

13 Statewide Collaboration SHC was part of the statewide collaborative assessment effort spearheaded by the HAH (Healthcare Association of Hawaii). Working with the state s Department of Health, HAH contracted a Californiabased consultant firm, the Healthy Communities Institute (HCI), who produced county and statewide level assessment reports on behalf of twenty-six (26) of twenty-eight (28) Hawaii hospitals. The results of this joint effort allowed for a consensus of community needs to be established and discussed between SHC and the state s twenty-five other local non-profit hospitals. The results of HCI s reports provided SHC with a global perspective of the demographics and healthcare needs of Hawaii s entire population. Despite the comprehensiveness of the reports, most statistics provided were not applicable to SHC s served population, as the data was based on the population-at-large and was not pediatric special needs specific. However, indicators applicable (to our population) within the report were selected and incorporated into SHC s CHNA. Also, the broad topic areas of disparities were beneficial from a comparative stance, as it served as a foundation to determine whether needs pertinent to the pediatric community were already being addressed and/or will be addressed by SHC. Secondary Sources Data for indicators pertinent to the pediatric population were captured from multiple sources, each source in agreement with one another. Basic demographic data was acquired from the market analysis conducted by Shriners Home Office in conjunction with statistics provided in the HCI s report. Data specific to our community was captured from the National Survey of Children with Special Health Care Needs, which was published by the Hawaii Department of Health s Maternal and Child Health Branch, who are required to conduct a state wide assessment every five years to facilitate the allocation of Federal Title V funds. Findings from these key sources aligned with needs emphasized by key informants, as well as the state s education department reports. Shriners Hospital for Children - CHNA Page 13

14 Kaiser Permanente s (KP) CHNA Toolkit SHC was fortunate to receive copies of KP s toolkit, a print resource utilized by KP to guide their many facilities through the CHNA process. SHC utilized the format of Kaiser s appendix Common Indicators table as a template for data collection and presentation. The Kaiser Common Indicators table roughly included a hundred categorized indicators. This format was an invaluable resource to the team as it was well categorized and easy to understand - an effective way of presenting the findings. Categories and indicators from the KP toolkit were omitted, modified and/or added based on their pertinence to SHC s pediatric special needs community. Community Resources The collaborative work product of the HAH led assessment was a fundamental resource widely utilized by Hawaii s nonprofit hospitals. Concurrence of the resource s role as a foundation for future initiatives within the community-at-large was reached at HAH conferences, which included Hawaii hospital representative attendees. Exhibit A, located at the end of this assessment, presents the community resource list provided by the statewide HAH assessment; for relevancy purposes, only pediatric-specific community resources are included in the attached exhibit. In close proximity to our facility is the Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children, a fullservice pediatric hospital. Respective assessments will serve as a baseline for post collaborative initiatives, to merge & maximize resources and to minimize duplication of efforts. Shriners Hospital for Children - CHNA Page 14

15 Key Findings Primary Data Face-to-face Interviews and follow-up teleconferences with our key informants disclosed that there is a prevalence of developmental disorders in Hawaii s pediatric population, as well as a dire shortage of pediatric neurologists and developmental pediatricians in Hawaii. These key informant findings were corroborated by the HAH CHNA Statewide report, which identified two priorities for children with special health care needs: To promote the identification of children with developmental delay and To promote the transition of adolescents with special health care needs to adult health care. Several secondary datasets further corroborated the information from our key informants and the HAH summary of findings. Shriners Hospital for Children - CHNA Page 15

16 Secondary Data Findings The secondary data findings for SHC were primarily derived from five central sources (listed on page 19), all of which cross-validated one another. Table A summarizes the secondary data findings.

These developmental issues, SHC s prioritization process to assess and rank these Table A developmental needs and SHC s implementation strategies to address those needs that were ranked and prioritized for action are further discussed in Table C on pages Shriners Hospital for Children - CHNA Page 18

19 The five data sources utilized to create Table A were: 1. The 2010 National Survey of Children with Special Health Care Needs (NS-CSHN) report: Data for this report is collected by each state s Department of Health (DOH) Maternal and Child Health Branch (MCHB) to facilitate the allocation of Federal Title V funds. The data is initially gathered to produce a health needs assessment report, which is required of states MCHBs every five years. The data from all reports can be viewed at 2. The State of Hawaii Maternal and Child Health Needs Assessment: This assessment was prepared by Hawaii s DOH Family Health Services Division, which is the state s maternal and child health agency. It is from this published report that the NS-CSHN report is produced. Detailed narrative within this CHNA provided rich insight into the issues afflicting SHC s served population. 3. The Health Association of Hawaii s State of Hawaii : Conducted in , this CHNA was the collaborative work product of all Hawaii nonprofit hospitals. It provided substantial information regarding the state s health status via indicators and key informant reports. SHC weighted the primary data in this report heavily, as the informants were selected by Hawaii s top public health experts. 4. Home Office provided 2012 Demographic Snapshot: Characteristics of SHC s catchment area were presented by this data source. It offered the most recent data of Hawaii s demographics, as well as a breakdown of the state s population distribution. The data was generated by purchased software from the The Neilson Company. 5. The 2011 Hawaii Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS): The Center of Disease Control conducts the YRBS survey biannually. The findings capture the risk status of each state s youth population by monitoring six types of health risk behaviors. SHC s Table A Topic/Category Heath Behaviors indicators on page 17 were based on this data source. Shriners Hospital for Children - CHNA Page 19

20 TABLE B The table below contains the data produced by the Hawaii Department of Education s most recent performance report for the period of January 2012-June It is based off of Special Education eligibility, and is broken down by disability categorizations. Children receiving services and educational support under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) comprise 12% of enrollment within Hawaii s public schools. This report was not utilized as a principle source, as it was only representative of half of Hawaii s CSHCN population (19,380 out of 38,193). Although some of the categories don t differentiate between specific conditions (e.g. multiple disabilities), the data that is specific (e.g. autism spectrum disorder) further corroborates the significant prevalence of children in Hawaii with developmental disabilities. Disability # % Specific Learning Disability % Developmental Delay % Other Health Disability % Autism Spectrum Disorder % Intellectual Disability % Emotional Disability % Speech or Language Disability % Multiple Disabilities % Hard of Hearing ("Deaf") % Orthopedic Disability % Visual Disability including Blindness % Traumatic Brain Injury % Deaf-Blindness 9 0.0% Shriners Hospital for Children - CHNA Page 20

21 Prioritization Process Table C summarizes the secondary data findings from Table A into broader categories of community need. The areas of greatest health disparities, listed below are based on key informant interviews and community partner input. Organizing key findings and considerations into the format below proved beneficial, as it served as the baseline for discussion during the prioritization stage of the assessment. TABLE C Category of Need Discussion SHC Unaddressed Need? SHC Prioritization Ranking OBSERVATIONS: Yes 1 An unmet care need, about 19% of CSHCN are not screened early and continuously for special health care needs. The 2010 MCHB report states that promoting "the identification of children with developmental delay" is another priority amongst Hawaii children. Early Screening/ Developmental Disability conditions amongst CSHCN Conditions distinguished in red font within the "Health Status of CSHCN" category Table A indicator comprise developmental issues that our CSHCN face. Early identification of the "right" diagnosis is important, as it is the key through which a child may access appropriate, required services- including early intervention services and special education services, which are a high, unmet care needs amongst our CSHCN population. A child's ability to lead a fulfilled life is enhanced with early identification and the subsequent interventions. SHC'S CONTRIBUTION: The results of the HAH collaborative community CHNA and our review of the secondary data sets listed on pages validated the results of an earlier, abbreviated CHNA conducted by the Hospital in Shriners Hospital for Children - CHNA Page 21

22 The abbreviated CHNA highlighted significant unmet developmental and behavioral needs, including dire shortages of developmental screenings and assessments, currently faced by CSHCN. The results of this current, comprehensive CHNA corroborates our initial CHNA findings. We are therefore adding pediatric neurology and developmental pediatrics to the services presently offered by SHC. (Pediatric neurologists and developmental pediatricians specialize in diagnosing developmental issues). OBSERVATIONS: The 2010 MCHB report states that promoting "the transition of adolescents with special health care needs to adult health care" should be a priority for Hawaii children with disabilities. There are nearly 8,000 (63%) CSHCN who don't receive services needed for transition to adulthood. Yes (for developmental disorders) 2 Transitional Services Vulnerable Populations Hawaii's Department of Human Service's Division of Vocational Rehabilitation reports that their largest served age bracket, at 23%, is comprised of year old children. This division provides support services to individuals with disabilities who are seeking employment. SHC'S CONTRIBUTION: SHC has an existing transition program for our currently served children. This program will be enhanced to serve the unmet developmental needs of CHSCN that surfaced during SHC s CHNA. OBSERVATIONS: No None Vulnerable populations include ethnic minority groups, uninsured and low-income persons. SHC'S CONTRIBUTION: Shriners mission and philanthropic philosophy guides us to provide care without regard to race, color, creed, sex or sect, disability, national origin or the ability of a patient or family to pay. SHC s financial assistance program assists families who cannot afford to pay for their child's treatment. Shriners Hospital for Children - CHNA Page 22

23 OBSERVATIONS: No None Dental Care In 2010, the State of Hawaii received an "F" grade from the Pew Research Center, as only one out of their eight key policy indicator benchmarks were met. This observation was referenced in the HAH CHNA report. (The Pew Research Center is a nonpartisan organization that conducts public opinion polling and demographic research. ) SHC'S CONTRIBUTION: At SHC, our goal is to comprehensively treat the whole child so as to reduce surgical complications and to maximize outcomes. In 2012, SHC launched its dental program to treat and/or remove the infected teeth of patients prior to their operations. Subsequently, the need for certain dental services in our community has decreased. OBSERVATIONS: No None Another known area of concern, the obesity epidemic is driven by poor health behaviors. According to the 2010 state health department's Maternal and Child Health Branch's (MCHB) assessment report, one of the state's priorities include "reducing the rate of overweight and obesity among young children ages 0-5." Childhood Obesity Unaddressed poor health behaviors can eventually lead to conditions, such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, which are ranked as the most severe, and the fourth most severe health topics in Hawaii respectively, by the HAH CHNA report. SHC'S CONTRIBUTION: Bettering the lives of our children from an allencompassing approach is what SHC strives to do. SHC is staffed with a Clinical Dietician who performs nutritional assessments. The dietitian also plans customized diets and educational activities to teach our children and their families about healthy eating, with the hope of instilling dietary knowledge and empowerment that will transcend their care at SHC and be applied towards their daily lives. Shriners Hospital for Children - CHNA Page 23

24 As an added measure, SHC's onsite Family Center and Recreation Therapy department has programs in place to encourage patients to eat wisely and get them involved in physical activity. The Family Center also routinely purchases locally grown fresh produce for patients and their families to consume. OBSERVATIONS: No None Neighbor Island residents face access challenges due to: (1) the concentration of health services on the Oahu island and (2) financial constraints (in part due to vulnerable population status and/or travel expenses to receive care on Oahu). In Hawaii, the shortage of physicians and causal factors are well documented, particularly in the "Hawaii Physician Workforce" report published in 2010 by the University of Hawaii's John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM). This report highlights the magnitude of the state's shortage issue in which 600 physicians, or 20% of the total supply is needed. Access to Care According the JABSOM report, there exists a high prevalence of unmet need for the Pediatric specialty, especially for our Neighbor Island children. For example, on the island of Hawaii, general pediatrics ranks as the fourth highest unmet need amongst the 39 specialties listed, with a 40% physician shortage. The disparity is projected to widen significantly within the next ten years. SHC'S CONTRIBUTION: SHC has been providing Outreach clinics to Neighbor Island children since 1971 to address the access issues that our children face. A fourth surgeon will soon be joining SHC's team of compassionate care providers. Subsequently, two medical doctors will be on site at all times, which will enhance care access for Neighbor Island and all the children that we serve. Shriners Hospital for Children - CHNA Page 24

25 Allergies Respiratory Diseases Behavioral / Mental Health & Mental Disorders To further improve the coordination of care services, SHC has approved plans to implement a centralized scheduling system. Instead of independent scheduling of care services amongst departments, appointments will be scheduled centrally, enhancing access to care by making the scheduling process seamless for our children. OBSERVATIONS: According to secondary source findings, allergies are cited as the most prevalent condition amongst our served population. SHC S CONTRIBUTION: SHC does not currently have any initiatives or resources in place to address the allergy needs of CSHCN. Yes N/A* OBSERVATIONS: Yes N/A* According to secondary source findings, asthma is cited as the second most prevalent condition for CSHCN. SHC S CONTRIBUTION: SHC will treat respiratory problems that arise in conjunct with treating an orthopedic condition. However, we presently do not have stand-alone initiatives or resources In place to treat asthma and other respiratory needs of CSHCN. OBSERVATIONS: No None According to secondary source findings, ADD (attention deficit disorder), ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), behavioral or conduct problems and depression are listed as prevalent conditions for CSHCN. SHC'S CONTRIBUTION: While SHC does not have a behavioral health program per se, we have a consulting psychiatrist on staff to address the needs of our patients. Shriners Hospital for Children - CHNA Page 25

26 *Rationalization for Prioritization Process Categories marked with an N/A*in the SHC Prioritization Ranking column indicate a lack of existing resources and/or expertise to treat at SHC. In regards to the CHNA conducted by SHC, the prioritization process was based on discussions, evaluations, and other deliberations with our key informants, community partners, and internal assessment team. The evaluation criteria was naturally driven by availability of internal resources and available expertise. A team decision was made to focus on developing plans to address developmental disabilities and transitional planning needs for our community CHCSN. We recognized and acknowledged that we did not have the resources or expertise to address needs such as allergies, which also surfaced during the assessment process. Shriners Hospital for Children - CHNA Page 26

27 Implementation Plan Developmental Disabilities GOAL: OBJECTIVE: TACTICS/ TIMELINE: To increase the availability of care for children with developmental disabilities in Hawaii. By August 2013, begin offering pediatric neurological care services to children with developmental disabilities in Hawaii. By July 2013, Public Relations specialist will implement marketing strategies to inform community-at-large of anticipated pediatric neurologist and developmental pediatric services. By August 2013, begin offering services to Hawaii children with developmental disabilities. EVALUATION MONITORING PLAN: Analyze referrals of patients with developmental disabilites to determine whether there is a need to reinforce or enhance communications for specific groups Gauge communication effectiveness through post-service line public opinion survey Evaluate patient satisfaction and patient experience metrics for operational trouble-shooting, admission process and patient care improvements Shriners Hospital for Children - CHNA Page 27

28 Transition Services GOAL: OBJECTIVE: TACTICS/ TIMELINE: To enhance current transitional service offerings for Hawaii s children with special health care needs. By August 2013, expand exisiting transitional service program to cover larger population of Hawaii s children with special health care needs. By August 2013, the Care Coordination department will finalize transition program revision plans to assure consistency of information that is distributed to and collected from current base of patients. By August 2013, the Care Coordination department will enhance the transition program to include information and assistance that is developmental disability-specific. EVALUATION MONITORING PLAN: On a case-by-case basis, internally assess effectiveness of transition assistance via direct discussion with patients and their families. Distribute surveys to patients and their families to gauge satisfaction ratings towards transition services that they received. Shriners Hospital for Children - CHNA Page 28

29 Internal Partners for Transition Expansion Merlene Jose, RN: Ms. Jose s health care knowledge is comprehensive and includes direct patient care, as well as education and supervision in the healthcare setting. She is familiar with the needs of the medically fragile pediatric community, and applies this invaluable expertise as the Care Coordination Manager at Shriners. Shriners current transitional program is managed by Ms.Jose. Ms. Jose will be the operational leader for the transitional program s expansion efforts. Lisa Abbott, APRN: Ms. Abbott has over 20 years of experience in the healthcare field with a wide range of knowledge in working with clients with complex medical conditions, as well as vulnerable populations.
