Macon County makes up the majority of the primary service area, with surrounding counties comprising much of the secondary and tertiary areas. St. Mary’s Hospital, which is affiliated with Hospital Sisters Health Systems, is one of two acute care hospitals serving this area. Step one of the health needs assessment process was St. Mary’s Hospital’s participation with the Macon County Health Department and other community health providers as part of the Community Health Committee for completion of the Illinois Project for Local Assessment of Needs (IPLAN). St. Mary’s Hospital then supplemented the IPLAN data with primary data from telephone surveys, conducted by Leede Research, to the primary service area. This two‐part process was then carried through several committees representative of the community, as illustrated in the diagram on page 3. This needs assessment is being made available to the community through the hospital website. Community Served The population of Macon County, based on the 2010 U.S. Census Bureau, is 110,768, which represents a decrease of 3.4% since the 2000 census. The county median household income, as reported in 2010 is $44,337, with a poverty rate for the same period at 15.7%. Decatur’s median family income is $49,562, which is the lowest compared to the surrounding major cities. The racial makeup of the county in 2010 was 79.3% White, 16.3% African American, with other races comprising the remaining 4.4%. 15.7% of the county lives in poverty, which is 3.1% above the Illinois figure and 1.9% above the national figure. 69% of children in Decatur Public Schools live in poverty. The unemployment rate (not seasonally adjusted) as of February 2012 was 11.0%, up from a rate of 10.1% in December 2011. In 2010, educational services/ health care/social assistance was the largest major sector, representing 23.1% of all jobs in the county. Manufacturing comprised the next largest sector, representing 17.3%. Macon County has 580 square miles in land area and a population density of 190.8 per square mile. The town of Decatur, which is where St. Mary’s Hospital is located, is the county seat and also the largest city in Macon County. Additional demographic information along with comparisons to state and national information can be found in subsequent sections of this report. 3 Components of the Health Needs Assessment The following diagram illustrates the process for the community health needs assessment and how data was utilized to determine St. Mary’s Hospital’s Focus for Action. Several components were considered in the needs assessment process: A. IPLAN: Nine representatives from St. Mary’s Hospital served on the Macon County Community Health Committee. This committee, organized by the Macon County Health Department, reviewed demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, general health and access to care, maternal and child health, chronic disease, infectious disease, environmental/occupational injury control, and sentinel events. The work of this committee resulted in the IPLAN report submitted in June of 2011. A complete list of participants on this committee is available in Section C of this report. The Macon County Health Department is required to complete the IPLAN process every five years to submit to the Illinois Department of Public Health to remain certified as a local health department. The Community Health Committee, made up of representatives from a variety of groups and organizations throughout the community, assists with the entire IPLAN process and follow‐up work. The IPLAN requires the Macon 4 B. C. D. County Health Department to conduct an organizational self‐capacity assessment; a community health needs assessment and profile, and Community Health Plan. After the self‐capacity and community health needs assessments were completed, three top priority health concerns on which the Macon County Health Department will focus for the next five years were chosen. A Community Health Plan was then developed including information about the risk factors and direct and indirect contributing factors for each health concern were analyzed. With this information, a plan was made with impact and outcome objectives to be addressed and completed within the next five years. The top three priority health concerns chosen for the Macon County Health Department were obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. Leede Survey: St. Mary’s Hospital, in conjunction with six other hospitals in the Hospital Sisters Health System, contracted with Leede research to obtain additional primary data for local service areas. Leede Research, a marketing research firm, specializes in healthcare information programs and tools. Leede was chosen for its broad base of expertise and experience in a variety of fields including health, insurance, financial services, consumer packaged goods, agriculture and construction. It has a strong understanding of how individuals deal with and use information in their decision‐making processes. Information gathered in the phone surveys, which were completed in January 2012, sought to identify the respondent’s perception of their own health and related habits. Information was also gathered on unmet needs in the community and awareness of available services. Grow Decatur: In February 2012, St. Mary’s became involved in comprehensive, community‐based strategic initiative to create a stronger, healthier community. Grow Decatur is a volunteer‐driven group whose goal is to build a strategy for long‐term growth through an engaged, broad‐community effort. By involving and partnering with citizens, business leaders and providers who are already working to benefit the community, the group is focused on improving Decatur’s performance in quality of life, education and economic development. The goal is to rally the community and create lasting change and a long‐term vision for the future of Decatur because some discouraging trends in economic development, education and quality of life have been taking place in the last 5 to 10 years. Statistical Data: In addition to the vast statistical data in the IPLAN, information was obtained from the Department of Labor, County Health Rankings and the Census Bureau. Hospital readmission and primary diagnosis data was also considered. Data gathered was compared with indicators publicized on Healthy People 2020 ‐ a website maintained by the Department of Health and Human Services and the County Health Rankings site. 5 Community Health Needs Assessment Process Assessing the health needs of the community began with the collaboration of health professionals on the Community Health Committee, which was organized by the Macon County Health Department. This committee of 19 members was led by Brandi Binkley, Director of Health Promotion. In addition to 8 representatives from St. Mary’s Hospital, members of this committee include representatives from United Way, Decatur Memorial Hospital, Macon County Mental Health Board, Decatur Housing Authority, Decatur Community Partnership, Community Health Improvement Center, Dove Retired Senior Volunteer Program, American Cancer Society, and a Parish Nurse. The Community Health Plan (IPLAN) for Macon County was created as a result of this group’s research. The health needs assessment was developed with statistics from the IPLAN Data System, data from other reliable sources, and also input from the Community Health Committee. The Macon County Health Department initially completed a Community Health Profile using statistics from the IPLAN Data System and other resources. After this information was gathered and analyzed, the first Community Health Committee meeting was held in June 2010. During this meeting, the Community Health Profile was presented for attendees to review. At this time, the committee members were asked to provide input regarding the community health status based on their own knowledge, experience, and opinions. To supplement the work of the Community Health Committee, St. Mary’s Hospital sought additional primary data. In November 2011, along with other hospitals in the Hospital Sisters Health System, St. Mary’s Hospital contracted with Leede Research to conduct telephone interviews in each local service area. The study consisted of 400 completed telephone interviews utilizing a questionnaire designed by Leede in cooperation with hospital leadership. A proportionate stratified sample was used to provide equal input from all geographic areas. Weighting by age and income was used to more accurately represent the actual population in the area. The goal was to give the survey an accurate representation of the actual service area. St. Mary’s participation in Grow Decatur, a community‐based group working toward building a healthier community, lends further perspective into the needs of the community and presents further opportunities for service collaboration among local businesses and service providers. Theresa Rutherford, COO of St. Mary’s Hospital, participated in an all‐day workshop with the group to analyze and prioritize the data gleaned from the group’s community assessment and will continue to participate in the improvement process. St. Mary’s Hospital formed an internal Community Benefit Team consisting of hospital colleagues. The purpose of this group is to provide input, monitor the progress of our community benefit initiative and implementation plan, as well as assist in identifying further needs and opportunities for addressing the needs of the community. Since December 2009, the St. Mary’s Strategic Planning Committee, comprised of hospital leadership, local physicians, community leaders and local Board Members, has been instrumental in examining the St. Mary’s Ministry from every vantage point. The hospital’s Strategic Plan is built from the work of this group, and is updated yearly based on the identified service gaps and needs of our 6 community. Members of our community‐based Strategic Planning Committee, hospital volunteers, and our Community Benefit Team were asked to participate in the prioritization process for identified health needs. Prioritization Process Representatives from St. Mary’s Hospital participated in the first Community Health Committee meeting where members reviewed the proposed Community Health Profile and the prioritization process was initiated. The nominal group process was used in which priority health needs were listed and prioritized during the actual meeting. Once all of the mentioned health problems were included for everyone to see, the voting process began. Flip charts were used to list the priority health concerns mentioned by Community Health Committee members. Those concerns listed were based off of data presented from the community health needs assessment previously conducted and provided to Community Health Committee members. Attendees took eight minutes to write down their own input and then took turns going around the room listing the concerns they felt were their “top five” based on data, personal experience and expertise, and opinion. If attendees had items they were not comfortable with mentioning out loud, there was a box provided for anonymous answers. This box was not used by any attendees. After everyone’s ideas were listed on the charts, the meeting facilitator clarified that everything was listed as the reporter had intended. Community Health Committee members clarified and also grouped some items as they saw appropriate. The flip charts were then put up around the room and attendees rated what they believed to be the top 5 out of everything listed. They were given colored stickers that were numbered one to five, with one being the lowest of five and five being the biggest concern out of five. The numbers were then compiled. Community Health Committee members present were informed that letters and prioritization forms with the listed health concerns would be sent to those unable to attend to give them an opportunity to vote. The final tallies would be reported to members before the next meeting. There were some invited community representatives that were unable to attend, so those committee members were sent prioritization forms on which to vote and submit in a designated amount of time. When all of these forms were received, staff responsible for completing the IPLAN and the Administrator held a meeting to discuss the results of the prioritization process and determine the top three on which the Macon County Health Department should focus for the next five years. Health department staff chose obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. St. Mary’s Hospital chose to supplement the IPLAN process that included broad community participation and input with additional insight and primary data from the community through phone surveys conducted by Leede Research. Analysis showed that results from Leede survey process aligned with IPLAN data. Since the data was mutually supportive with similar findings, St. Mary’s chose to utilize the primary data set for our prioritization process. 7 The Leede surveys identified 22 community health needs. A table of these needs, shown with the mean scores from the survey, is available in Section E of this report. In order to get community input on the priority of these needs in the community, a Survey Monkey web‐based survey was created and sent to members of the Strategic Planning Committee and Community Benefit Team. Paper surveys were also delivered to hospital volunteers to get their input. Prioritization of the identified community needs was achieved through this nominal group process, where participants were asked for their input and assistance in ranking the identified health needs based on their personal perception of the priority of the issue. Each participant ranked the 22 identified issues utilizing a scale of 1, indicating highest priority, to 22, which is the lowest priority. Health Needs Identified This is a complete list of the 22 health needs identified in our surveys. Utilizing a web‐based survey tool, participants ranked the items utilizing a scale of 1 (highest priority) to 22 (lowest priority).

For example, not only focusing on high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and asthma specifically, but with a focus on obesity, we can potentially address all of these conditions. The final step of this needs assessment process was accomplished through the work of the Strategic Planning Committee, whereby the following areas of focus were identified for St. Mary’s Hospital: Access Access to healthcare has been a recurring issue in many forms. Inaccessibility to necessary care due to lack of insurance, inability to pay, inability to get to appointments are all identified needs including medications and management of chronic disease after discharge. Through St. Mary’s Hospital’s mission to meet the healthcare needs of all people regardless of ability to pay, we have an opportunity and an obligation to take further steps to increase the awareness of the services available and enhance the access to healthcare in our community. • Access to Healthcare • Access to Affordable Medication • Access to Mental Health Services Cardiovascular Health Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Data surrounding cardiovascular issues and related factors are cause for concern and action in Macon County. With the prevalence of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and obesity, St. Mary’s Hospital will focus on increasing access to health screenings, education, and medication management while enhancing the available services for cardiovascular interventions. Obesity The assessment completed by the Macon County Community Health Committee identified obesity as one of their main areas of focus. Obesity increases the risk for health conditions such as high blood pressure, cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes and respiratory problems, which were the most reported health conditions in phone surveys for Macon County. The instance of adult obesity in Macon County is 13% higher than reported for Illinois and 19% higher than the national rate. High levels of inactivity and low consumption of healthy fruits and vegetables also contributes to more county children being obese than ever before. 9 Women’s Health – Throughout the analyzed data, we find many areas of opportunity related to improving women’s health through providing early and adequate prenatal care, identifying health risks, promoting healthy behaviors and proper nutrition. With instances of breast, cervical and ovarian cancer in Illinois all ranking above the national average, early detection is critical to good outcomes. Less than 55% of county women surveyed reported having a PAP/Pelvic Exam in the past 2 years. Prenatal health is also an area of concern. According to the 2006 IPLAN, 79% percent of mothers begin prenatal care in their first trimester of pregnancy. This percentage varies greatly by race, with the lowest rate being just 58.3% for one group. Macon County teen birth rates and low birth weight rates are higher than Illinois and national rates. By improving the health of mothers and their newborns, we are investing in the health of future generations. These health needs, along with initiatives developed in response to previous and ongoing issues identified will be more fully defined in the Implementation Plan. As appropriate, St. Mary’s Hospital will also continue to partner with Macon County Community Health Committee and other service providers in addressing the top concerns. 10 Section B – Service Area Macon County, Illinois Population Census 2000 Census 2010 Change 114,706 110,768 ‐3.4% Race Race Macon County Percentage in Percentage in Macon County Illinois White 87,855 79.31% 71.53% African American 18,027 16.27% 14.55% Asian 1,118 1.01% 4.57% American Indian and 226 .20% .34% Alaska Native Native Hawaiian and 32 .03% .03% Pacific Islander Other 756 .68% 6.71% Identified by 2 or 2,754 2.49% 2.26% more Ethnicity Race Macon County Percentage in Percentage in Macon County Illinois Hispanic or Latino 2,072 1.87% 15.80% Non Hispanic or 108,696 98.13% 84.20% Latino Gender Age Under 18
