Health Needs Assessment and Implementation Plan May 2019 Community Hospital Corporation Page 3 Executive Summary A comprehensive, six‐step community health needs assessment (“CHNA”) was conducted for Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas (BHSET) by Community Hospital Corporation (CHC). This CHNA utilizes relevant health data and stakeholder input to identify the significant community health needs in Jefferson and Orange Counties in Texas. The CHNA Team, consisting of leadership from BHSET, met with staff from CHC on October 16, 2018 to review the research findings and prioritize the community health needs. Seven significant community health needs were identified by assessing the prevalence of the issues identified from the health data findings combined with the frequency and severity of mentions in community input. The CHNA Team participated in a roundtable discussion to rank the community health needs based on three characteristics: size and prevalence of the issue, effectiveness of interventions and the hospital’s capacity to address the need. The seven most significant needs, as ranked during the October 16th prioritization meeting, are listed below: 1.) Prevention, Education and Services to Address High Mortality Rates, Chronic Diseases, Preventable Conditions and Unhealthy Lifestyles 2.) Access to Affordable Care and Reducing Health Disparities Among Specific Populations 3.) Access to Mental and Behavioral Health Care Services and Providers 4.) Need for Increased Emphasis on Sex Education and Communicable Disease Prevention 5.) Access to Specialty Care Services and Providers 6.) Access to Affordable Dental Care Services and Providers 7.) Need for Improved Availability of Safe, Affordable Housing Once this prioritization process was complete, the hospital leadership discussed the results and decided to address five of the prioritized needs in various capacities through hospital specific implementation plans. This implementation plan addresses the top five of the seven needs. “Access to Affordable Dental Care Services and Providers” and "Need for Improved Availability of Safe, Affordable Housing" are not addressed largely due to the fact that they are not core business functions of the hospital and the limited capacity of the hospital to address such needs. BHSET leadership has developed the following implementation plan to identify specific activities and services which directly address the top five priorities. The objectives were identified by studying the prioritized health needs, within the context of the hospital’s overall strategic plan and the availability of finite resources. The plan includes a rationale for each priority, followed by objectives, specific implementation activities, responsible leaders, progress, and key results (as appropriate). The BHSET Board reviewed and adopted the 2019 Community Health Needs Assessment and Implementation Plan on April 22, 2019. Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas Community Health Needs Assessment and Implementation Plan May 2019 Community Hospital Corporation Page 4 Priority #1: Prevention, Education and Services to Address High Mortality Rates, Chronic Diseases, Preventable Conditions and Unhealthy Lifestyles Data suggests that higher rates of specific mortality causes and unhealthy behaviors warrants a need for increased preventive education and services to improve the health of the community. Heart disease and cancer are the two leading causes of death in Jefferson and Orange Counties. Jefferson and Orange Counties have higher mortality rates than

Holmes [email protected] Department of Biology Baylor University Waco, Texas Identification of Milkweeds (Asclepias, Family Apocynaceae) in Texas Created in partnership with the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center Design and layout by Elishea Smith Compiled by Jason Singhurst and Ben Hutchins [email protected] [email protected] Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Austin, Texas and Walter C. Holmes [email protected] Department of Biology Baylor University Waco, Texas Introduction This document has been produced to serve as a quick guide to the identification of milkweeds (Asclepias spp.) in Texas. For the species listed in Table 1 below, basic information such as range (in this case county distribution), habitat, and key identification characteristics accompany a photograph of each species. This information comes from a variety of sources that includes the Manual of the Vascular Flora of Texas, Biota of North America Project, knowledge of the authors, and various other publications (cited in the text). All photographs are used with permission and are fully credited to the copyright holder and/or originator. Other items, but in particular scientific publications, traditionally do not require permissions, but only citations to the author(s) if used for scientific and/or nonprofit purposes. Names, both common and scientific, follow those in USDA NRCS (2015). When identifying milkweeds in the field, attention should be focused on the distinguishing characteristics listed for each species.
