Executive Summary

Essentia Health-Sandstone is part of Essentia Health, a nonprofit, Essentia Health is integrated health system caring for patients in , , called to make a and Idaho. Essentia Health is called to make a healthy difference in people’s lives. To fulfill that mission, we seek opportunities healthy difference in to both enhance the care we provide and improve the health of our people’s lives communities.

Every three years, each Essentia Health hospital conducts a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) to systematically identify, analyze and prioritize community health needs. The process is conducted in collaboration with many community partners including other health care systems, local public health departments, and organizations or individuals that represent broad interests in the community, including members of medically underserved, low-income, and populations at higher health risk.

Once priority health needs are identified, Essentia Health-Sandston designed an implementation strategy to address the needs with internal stakeholders and community partners. The plan is designed to leverage existing community strengths and resources available to improve health.

From July 2018-April 2019, Essentia Health-Sandstone analyzed data, convened community partners, sought input from community members, and led a process to identify the following priority areas for the 2020 – 2022 Community Health Needs Assessment:

1. Mental health 2. Obesity

3. Substance abuse

The 2020-2022 Implementation Plan outlines the multiple objectives, activities and strategies to address each priority area.

Mental health goal: All youth and adults in Pine County experiencing positive mental well- being and resilience.

Obesity goal: The community has access to healthy eating and active living opportunities.

Substance abuse goal: Youth and adults in Pine County are substance-free.

Hospital Service Area

Essentia Health-Sandstone is a part of the Pine Healthcare Campus. For the purposes of this assessment, community is defined as the Essentia Health-Sandstone planning area combined with the ZIP codes where 80 percent of inpatients resided for fiscal year 2019. This includes the ZIP codes of 55072 (Sandstone), 55037 (Hinckley), 55735 Finlayson, and 55704 (Askov). The community was defined based on the hospital’s ability to have the greatest impact with the available resources. The hospital is committed to building and sustaining partnerships with area organizations in order to extend its reach to all areas within this region.

Other facilities on the Pine County Healthcare Campus include the Gateway Family Health Clinic, Thrifty White Pharmacy and the Golden Horizons Senior Living and Memory Care. Moose Lake has Mercy Hospital, about 25 miles north of Sandstone. Cloquet has Community Memorial Hospital, about 50 miles north of Sandstone. First Light Health System has a hospital in Mora, about 30 miles south of Sandstone.

Due to the region’s rural nature, data for populations smaller than county level are frequently unavailable or of limited value. Therefore, in the following assessment, data are presented at the county and state level to ensure stability of the estimates. When available, ZIP code or census tract level data will supplement the county level information to provide a deeper understanding of the health needs of the community.

Pine County residents are increasingly older, have lower incomes and higher rates of poverty compared to the state. The region’s rural nature makes transportation and isolation two barriers to accessing care. Poverty, education, age and race are all factors contributing to inequitable health outcomes. Poverty is not evenly distributed across racial/ethnic groups, ages or educational levels.

Evaluation of 2016–2019 Implementation Plan

During 2016–2019, Essentia Health-Sandstone addressed significant needs identified in the 2016 assessment: mental health and healthy lifestyle choices. Some activities were led by the hospital, while others were part of larger collaborative efforts with local partners. The following describes significant accomplishments and outcomes.

Priority Area #1: Mental Health

Essentia Health-Sandstone is taking an active role in community-based coalitions related to the priorities addressed in the Community Health Needs Assessment.

In 2017, Essentia Health-Sandstone partnered with Grand Casino Hinckley to host the Community Mental Health Forum inspired by and as a follow-up event to an Opioid Forum. Representative Rick Nolan and Interim Chair of the Pine County Chemical Health Coalition Becky Foss requested this forum. More than 250 people attended.

Essentia Health participated in the Region 7E Community Conversation Series that took place from October-December 2018 to discuss ways to remove stigma, increase mental health education, and identify programs for mental health. The Community Conversations were a sequential, progressive four- part series supporting adult mental health in the region.

Priority Area #2: Healthy Lifestyle Choices

Essentia Health-Sandstone partnered with East Central Schools to provide education and awareness on a variety of health topics. In the fall of 2018, Kristine Crowley, Essentia’s tobacco treatment specialist, completed tobacco education at East Central for 8th- 12th graders. Tanya Christopherson, Essentia’s dietitian, educated 8th and 10th graders on healthy eating, physical activity and ways to make healthy lifestyle changes.

In October 2018, Essentia-Health Sandstone partnered with the Lions Family Health Expo. The expo offered free lab tests for cholesterol, A1C, Vitamin D, mammograms, glucose, and flu shots funded by Essentia Health-Sandstone. Free screenings for vision, hearing, blood pressures, BMI, memory, sleep, and depression were also offered.

Essentia Health-Sandstone is a partner with the Pine County Chemical Health Coalition as an executive committee member. One accomplishment was the Sticker Event which involved six liquor establishments. The Prevention Campaign was created to talk about responsible beverage server

training and prevent underage drinking. The coalition will support the 2019 post-prom event to prevent high school students from using alcohol and other substances.

SNAP Rx, a food insecurity screening program, was piloted in the Emergency Department. Essentia Health-Sandstone partnered with Lake and Pines. In this screening, patients were asked three questions to assess food insecurity. If a patient agreed to the SNAP Rx program, they are referred to Lakes and Pines to be connected with resources around food insecurity.

Essentia Health-Sandstone hosts the National Diabetes Prevention Program. A trained lifestyle coach facilitates one class each year. This free lifestyle change program has been offered since 2014 for a total of five completed classes.

In 2017, the respiratory therapist at Essentia Health-Sandstone completed tobacco treatment specialist training to help individuals quit smoking and educate youth on the health dangers from tobacco and vaping devices.

2020-2022 CHNA Process and Timeline

Essentia Health’s Community Health Advisory Committee developed a shared plan for the 15 hospitals within the system. The plan was based on best practices from the Catholic Hospital Association and lessons learned from the 2016-2019 CHNA process. The process was designed to:

• Incorporate input from persons representing broad interests of the community • Collaborate with local public health and other health care providers • Utilize multiple sources of public health data to make data-driven decisions

Each individual hospital worked with community partners to carry out the plan in their service area. Aspects of the plan were adapted to meet the unique needs of each location. Hospital leadership teams and local hospital boards received and approved each implementation plan, followed by final approval by the Essentia Health Board of Directors. The following visual describes the assessment steps and timeline.

Assess

Secondary data was collected and analyzed by the Pine County Public Health. The Pine County Public Health Advisory Committee discussed Pine County health data and watched a YouTube clip called “A Tale of Two Zip Codes” to discuss health equity and the social determinants of health. Themes that stuck out from the data presentation included aging, average household income, housing, smoking-related cancers, mental health and chronic stress. Due to the rural nature of the community, data for populations smaller than county level were frequently unavailable or of limited value. In the assessment, data was presented at the county and state level, and when available, ZIP code or census tract. The Minnesota Department of

Health Vital Statistics and Minnesota County Health Tables were the source for demographic and socioeconomic trends. Data on the Pine County chronic conditions, adult substance use and adult mental health came from the Minnesota East Central Regional Community Health Survey. The Minnesota Student Survey showed data trends for student substance use and mental health. Please see Appendix A for the Data Presentation PowerPoint.

Data was reviewed and discussed with the Pine County Public Health Advisory Committee representing the broad interests of the community. Agencies represented at the presentations included: FirstLight Health Systems, Pine County Commissioner, Pine County Veterans Services Officer, Family Pathways, North Pine Area Hospital District Board, Pine County Public Health, Jewish Faith Community Rabbi and a student from East Central High School.

Prioritize To narrow down the list of 23 health indicators from the data assessment, the Pine County Public Health Advisory Committee completed a survey to identify the top eight health indicators. This list of eight health indicators was then put through a formal prioritization process known as the Hanlon method, which takes health priorities based on the criteria. Each member of the committee individual scored the health indicators on the level of influence, seriousness of the problem, size of the problem, interventions that are proven to be effective and unfair health differences. The three health issues with the highest score were then identified as the three focus areas for the 2020-2022 Community Health Needs Assessment. Mental health had the highest score, obesity and substance abuse tied for second, and tobacco came in third. The committee agreed to pair substance abuse and tobacco together. Through this process, three priorities were identified for action.

1. Mental health 2. Obesity 3. Substance abuse See Appendix B for the survey used to determine the top eight health priorities and Appendix C for the results of the health priorities. See Appendix D and E for the Hanlon Criteria Matrix and Results.

Significant needs not addressed in the CHNA: Other issues identified through the process but not included among the top three priorities included maternal health, access to health care, and older adults and aging. Additionally, Essentia Health already collaborates with local partners to address these specific issues in the communities. 11

Community Input After priority issues were identified through reviewing data and the formal prioritization process, Essentia Health-Sandstone solicited broad feedback from the community on the priorities chosen and how to address the needs.

Community input was primarily gathered through focus groups and key informant interviews. Over the course of two months, more than 50 community members provided input on the priority issues in their community. Essentia Health-Sandstone lead focus groups at the schools, Meshakwad Community Center, the Sandstone Food Shelf, and the Sandstone Lion’s Health Event. Four key questions were asked to discern community strengths, health issues and barriers.

1. Do you confirm the top three priorities? 2. What are the strengths and weaknesses in this community related to those priorities? 3. What partners should be involved to help address the priorities? 4. What are some solutions?

The focus groups used a Results Based Accountability format to get feedback from the community on the strengths and barriers of each of the three priority areas. Each focus group was presented with an indicator or data set to clearly understand the current conditions and where improvements needed to be. This approach helped identify root causes, partners who could be involved and solutions to the three health priority areas. Focus groups were limited to an hour and promoted a safe space to have an open dialogue. Participants in focus groups or key informant interviews came from the following areas:

• Pine County Health and Human Services • Sandstone Lions • Family Pathway’s Food Bank • East Central Schools • Meshakwad Community Center • Hinckley-Finlayson School District • North Pine Area Hospital District Board • Community Connection Allies • Council on Aging • Gateway Family Health Clinic • First Lutheran Church

Key Findings

Priority #1 Mental Health Supporting Data:

• Pine County’s median household income is $46,332 compared to the state of Minnesota at $63,459. (Vital Statistics Report, 2016) • 8.4% of Pine County adults felt sad, blue or depressed for 10-19 days a month and 1.6% felt sad, blue or depressed all 30 days (Minnesota East Central Regional Community Health Survey, 2015). • 23% of females in 8th, 9th, and 11th grade in 2016 reported having long-term mental health, behavioral or emotional problems compared to 14% in 2013 (Minnesota Student Survey, 2016 and 2013). • 15% of males in 8th, 9th, and 11th grade in 2016 reported having long-term mental health, behavioral or emotional problems compared to 10% in 2013 (Minnesota Student Survey, 2016 and 2013).

Community Input:

Some limiting factors that contribute to poor mental health include the lack of mental health providers in Sandstone. Transportation is also an issue to access the needed therapy. The community noted a need for more mental health awareness and stigma prevention efforts. Suggestions to improve social isolation were made to provide more church dinners, community center get-togethers, activities for seniors. Seniors would also benefit from financial aid and lower cost programing. There is a need for more jobs in the area and more career counseling. Students reported fear of mandated reporters and a need for more trusted adults.

Community Strengths and Resources Available:

The Meshakwad Community Center in Hinckley is now open to the public with plans to expand programming and events as well as classes in the fitness center. Many community members reported on the variety of outdoor recreation opportunities to engage in and the local parks to visit. The East Central

Minnesota Pride is an annual event supporting the growing LGBTQ community that started in 2005 supporting the rural area that lies between the Twin Cities and Duluth. The 7 County Senior Federation was noted as a benefit to the community serving the aging population. Wellness in the Woods advocates on behalf of individuals experiencing mental health challenges in rural Minnesota by offering training and education opportunities such as Wellness Recovery Action Plan and Mental Health First Aid. Schools in Pine County are working to become trauma-informed. Students noted the benefit of having music and shop classes along with after-school programs. The schools also offer peer-to-peer groups.

13

Priority #2 Obesity

Supporting Data:

• 51% of Pine County adults were obese in 2015 compared to 24% of adults in 2005 (Bridge to Health Survey, 2015). • 16% of 8th, 9th, and 11th graders in Pine County were overweight and obese (Minnesota Student Survey, 2016). • Almost 9% of Pine County adults report being told by a health care professional that they have diabetes (Minnesota East Central Regional Community Health Survey, 2015). • Almost 11% of Pine County adults report being told by a health care professional that they have pre-diabetes (Minnesota East Central Regional Community Health Survey, 2015).

Community Input:

Information from the community focus groups found many common themes. The community reported a lack of physical ability to get to food shelves, grocery stores, or medical appointments with a need for more accessible transportation. Some community members reported that there is a lack of motivation to be physically active and live a healthy lifestyle. Along with the barriers of transportation, there is limited access to healthy foods that are affordable. Students reported a need for healthier school lunch options with more varieties of fresh fruit and vegetables.

Community Strengths and Resources Available:

Community conversations highlighted the assets in the county that are readily available. Essentia Health-

Sandstone offers the National Diabetes Prevention Program to help those with prediabetes live a healthier lifestyle. Students reported the many opportunities to stay active through sports and the pool at East Central High School. To help ease the burden of food insecurity, the schools offer the Backpack Program. Pine County also is rich in natural habitat and outdoor recreation for people to enjoy year-round.

14

Priority #3 Substance Abuse

Supporting Data:

• 31% of 9th graders in Pine County used alcohol one or more times in the last 12 months compared to 21% of 9th graders in the state of Minnesota (Minnesota Student Survey, 2016). • 8% of 9th graders in Pine County smoked cigarettes on one or more days in the last 30 days (Minnesota Student Survey, 2016). • 25% of Pine County adults reported smoking cigarettes compared to 29% in 1995 (Bridging Health North, 2015). • In the past 30 days, almost 33% of Pine County adults reported binge drinking (Minnesota East Central Regional Community Health Survey, 2015).

Community Input:

The community felt that when it comes to substance abuse in Pine County, there are many root causes for both youths and adults. It was noted that in general, it is difficult to change habits and stay motivated to choose healthy activities with the pressure of social norms and the stress life brings. Isolation that individuals experience creates mental health issues and may cause more people to abuse substances. There is a perception of substance use among students in Pine County. Students in Pine County also show a low perception of risks in drinking alcohol. There is a lack of safe places for students to go when they feel they are in an unsafe situation. Historical trauma also influences the current substance abuse in Pine County.

Community Strengths and Resources Available:

Essentia Health-Sandstone has a certified tobacco treatment specialist on site to educate and reduce tobacco use among youth and adults. There is a Pine County Chemical Health Coalition and Planning and Implementation grant that drives the Positive Community Norms Campaign through media messages and billboards. The Sticker Shock Project is one of the ways to message underage drinking prevention. Another resource the coalition provides is the community dinner which focuses on youth trends around alcohol use.

15

Design

Essentia Health worked with internal stakeholders as well as community partners to design a strategy to address each of the priority needs identified in the CHNA process. The plan outlines actions that will be taken to respond to the identified community needs including goals and measurable objectives, strategies, tactics, and performance indicators.

The implementation plan is a three-year plan to address priority needs. The implementation plan will be reviewed annually, with progress shared with hospital leadership and the Board of Directors on an annual basis.

Additionally, the following three priorities were determined by the Community Health Advisory Committee (CHAC) at a retreat in January 2019. The retreat included input from Community Health staff from across the Essentia Health system. Prioritization was based on common themes from the 15 Community Health Needs Assessments.

• Mental health and wellness • Substance abuse • Nutrition and physical activity

During the FY2020-FY2022 assessment cycle, some activities will be led by the individual hospitals/markets, while others will be coordinated across the health system. This will help Essentia Health make the greatest impact with available resources

No written comments were received from the 2013 CHNA. Any comments would have been taken into consideration in this report.

Conclusion

As a nonprofit health system, Essentia Health is called to make a healthy difference in people’s lives. This needs assessment illustrates the importance of collaboration between our hospitals and community partners. By working collaboratively, we can have a positive impact on the identified health needs in our community in FY 2020-2022.

Everyone scored the health indicators on the level of influence, seriousness of the problem, size of the problem, interventions that are proven to be effective and unfair health differences. Once committee members filled out their individual matrix, this spreadsheet was completed at the meeting to show total scores. There was a total of nine committee members who participated in the prioritization process.
