Our assessments and corresponding plans are a reflection of the purpose and core values of MidMichigan Health. We truly believe that health happens were we live, learn, work and play and that all people should have the opportunity to make choices that allow them to live a long, healthy life, regardless of their income, education or ethnic back ground. MidMichigan Medical Center-West Branch conducted a CHNA using a modified MAPP process that assessed the current health status of the communities the medical center serves based on identified needs according to benchmark comparisons, Primary data collection through community surveying for community input, and the development of a Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP). The process included 19 community leaders that submitted information for the assessment to review health data, analyzed public health data, complete and distribute the Wellbeing Survey, identify priorities and set goals for the 2021 CHIP. 1. Community Health Status This assessment evaluated each county identified as the community served by MidMichigan Medical Center-West Branch and the community collaborative organizations that were involved in the assessment, which included Ogemaw, Roscommon, Arenac, Isoco and Oscoda counties. Evaluation included demographics and public health data from a variety of sources and agencies including Ten16, District Health Department #2, countyhealthrankings.org, and other county level data. The combined population of all five counties is 93,234 residents in 2019. Each county ranges from 93.4%-95.2% white, 0.3%-0.7% African American, 1.0%-1.2% American Indian, and 2%-2.4% Hispanic or Latino. Povery levels for children under 18 years of age range from 24% for Arenac County, to 33% being the highest in Roscommon County. The Michigan Average is 19%. Those that are below the ALICE population threshold is between 38% and 47%. Obesity rates are increasing with Oscoda county at the highest of those evaluated with 39% reporting obesity, and Iosco county with the lowest at 30%. Roscommon and Arenac counties were in the top five highest invasive cancer incident rates in the state of Michigan. 3 Maternal tobacco use ranged from 29% in Oscoda County to 40% in Iosco County. 44% of pregnant moms in Oscoda county received late or no prenatal care, along with 32% in Arenac County. Each census tract in all five counties ranked in the lowest quartile for health literacy. 2. 2021 Wellbeing Survey for Community Vitality The wellbeing survey was a primary survey that looked at the vitality of the community and assessed the current strengths and themes within each community served. The survey was sent out both electronically, using surveymonkey.com, and also paper surveys were sent to harder to reach populations such as meals on wheels and senior services. 213 people completed the survey electronically, and 121 complete the paper survey. 40% of respondents that postponed or did not receive care when needed was due to cost, while 36% was due to Covid concerns and 24% due to no available appointments. Residents identified jobs with livable wages, affordable/quality housing, low-cost/free exercise opportunities, healthy food options and access to healthcare as the top 5 needs that if addressed, would improve the health of the community. 3. Community Health Improvement Plan The Community Health Improvement Plan will guide the next efforts of the community health team, while aligning with the strategic plan of MidMichigan Health, for the next three years. The plan includes the efforts of the community collaborative team in order to create partnerships in community health improvement, with the goal of improving health outcomes. Health Priorities: 1. Chronic Disease Prevention & Treatment Areas of high priority are cardiovascular disease, Obesity, Diabetes and Cancer 2. Behavioral Health Behavioral Health will include Substance Use Disorder, Mental health providers and suicide prevention. 3. Access to Care While this is a broad spectrum of possibilities, the ares of focus will be on provider engagement, utilizing and education on Advanced Practice Providers for primary care, healthy food access, exercise opportunities, broadband internet access and health literacy. 4. Prenatal/Perinatal Quality Each of the counties have high rates of maternal tobacco use, and high rates of late/no prenatal care. Focus will be given to these two categories while providing additional support services to new and young mothers within our recently re-opened OB. 4 Background & Communities MidMichigan Health, a non-profit health system headquartered in Midland, Michigan, is a leader in providing award-winning, high-quality care to the 23-county region it serves.
