PROJECT ABSTRACT PROJECT TITLE CONGRESSIONAL DIRECTED SPENDING (CDS): CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS INSTITUTION MERCY HEALTH—YOUNGSTOWN, LLC PROJECT DIRECTOR WAYNE TENNANT ADDRESS 2031 BELMONT AVENUE; YOUNGSTOWN, OH 44504 PHONE 330-398-5456 E-MAIL WAYNE_TENNANT@MERCY.COM WEBSITE WWW.MERCY.COM AMOUNT $1,000,000 BRIEF PROJECT DESCRIPTION FOR FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT. THIS PROJECT WILL ESTABLISH AN ADDICTION MEDICINE FELLOWSHIP AS WELL AS THE CO-LOCATING OF TREATMENT SERVICES FOR PREGNANT WOMEN WHO STRUGGLE WITH ADDICTIONS. CENTERING PREGNANCY IS A PRENATAL CARE PROGRAM WHERE EXPECTANT MOTHERS LEARN MORE ABOUT PREGNANCY AND HOW TO CARE FOR THE BABY AFTER BIRTH AND RECEIVE REGULAR HEALTHCARE CHECK-UPS FOR THEMSELVES AND THE BABY. EXPECTANT MOTHERS MEET WITH OTHER PREGNANT WOMEN WITH DUE DATES CLOSE TO THEIRS AND A HEALTHCARE PROVIDER BI-WEEKLY FOR 10 WEEKS, WHICH PROVIDES A NETWORK OF SOCIAL SUPPORT, EDUCATIONAL TOOLS AND COMMUNITY RESOURCES. THIS CENTERING PREGNANCY SITE WOULD FOCUS ON MOTHERS WITH CHRONIC ILLNESS, SUCH AS HYPERTENSION, DIABETES AND OPIOID USE DISORDER, TO HELP REDUCE INFANT MORTALITY AND ELIMINATE BIRTH OUTCOME INEQUITIES. THE CO-LOCATED FAMILY AND ADDICTION MEDICINE CLINICS WILL ALLOW THESE WOMEN TO RECEIVE COMPREHENSIVE CARE AT THIS LOCATION. THE SPACE WILL ALSO ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN ADDICTION MEDICINE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM IN YOUNGSTOWN, OH. THIS FELLOWSHIP IS PART OF A LARGER MULTIDISCIPLINARY PROGRAM INTENDED TO BRING HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO THE TRI-COUNTY AREA OF COLUMBIANA, MAHONING AND TRUMBULL COUNTIES, OF WHICH MHY IS THE LARGEST HEALTHCARE PROVIDER AND EMPLOYER. THIS FELLOWSHIP IS A GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION (GME) PROGRAM. GME PROGRAMS ARE CLINICAL EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS FOR PHYSICIANS WHO HAVE COMPLETED THEIR MEDICAL SCHOOL REQUIREMENTS AND WANT TO PURSUE MEDICAL EDUCATION IN A SPECIALIZED FIELD. MHY HAS A SUCCESSFUL HISTORY WITH GME PROGRAMS, CURRENTLY PROVIDING NINE UNIQUE RESIDENCY PROGRAMS. THIS FELLO WSHIP PROGRAM IS ONE YEAR IN LENGTH AND ACCEPTS TWO PHYSICIANS EACH YEAR FOR TRAINING. DURING THEIR FELLOWSHIP, THE PHYSICIANS WILL HELP TO OPERATE A NEW OUTPATIENT ADDICTION MEDICINE CLINIC TO EVALUATE AND TREAT PATIENTS WITH SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF A FACULTY MEMBER WHO IS BOARD CERTIFIED IN ADDICTION MEDICINE. GRADUATES OF THIS PROGRAM WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE PEOPLE EXPERIENCING ADDICTION AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS IN THIS COMMUNITY AND BEYOND. THE TRI-COUNTY AREA HAS SUFFERED DECADES OF JOB AND POPULATION LOSSES, WITH HIGHER UNEMPLOYMENT RATES THEN OHIO AND MORE THAN A THIRD OF RESIDENTS LIVING BELOW THE POVERTY LINE (COMPARED WITH 13% IN OHIO). THE LOCATION IDENTIFIED FOR THIS PROJECT IS A FORMER VETERAN’S AFFAIRS (VA) CLINIC IN YOUNGSTOWN, LEFT VACANT BY THEIR RELOCATION TO A LARGER FACILITY AT THE END OF 2020. A PORTION OF THE LARGER PROJECT, OF WHICH THE ADDICTION FELLOWSHIP IS A PART, IS TO RENOVATE THE VACANT BUILDING. THIS PROJECT SERVES TO ACHIEVE THE DUAL GOAL OF REPURPOSING THIS FACILITY AND BRINGING NEEDED HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO AN AT-RISK COMMUNITY.

COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING/CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING - CONSTRUCTION - ADDRESS: 4300 W MEMORIAL RD, OKLAHOMA CITY, OK 73120 PROJECT DIRECTOR NAME: KATE BLAKE PHONE: 405-936-5574 EMAIL: KATHERINE.BLAKE@MERCY.NET WEBSITE: WWW.MERCY.NET REQUEST AMOUNT: $1,000,000 IMPROVING ACCESS TO COMPREHENSIVE AND INNOVATIVE HEALTH CARE FOR ALL WOMEN IS CRITICAL. IN OKLAHOMA CITY AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES, THE NEED FOR HIGH-QUALITY WOMEN’S AND CHILDREN’S SERVICES OUTWEIGHS THE AVAILABLE OPTIONS FOR CARE. AFTER MANY YEARS OF CONTINUOUS GROWTH, MERCY HOSPITAL OKLAHOMA CITY’S CAPACITY TO SERVE OBSTETRIC PATIENTS HAS PLATEAUED DUE TO THE HARD-LIMIT OF PHYSICAL SPACE IN WHICH CARE CAN BE PROVIDED. IN FACT, COMMUNITY FEEDBACK SHOWS THAT AN ADDITIONAL 2,000 – 3,000 WOMEN DESIRE TO HAVE THEIR BABIES AT MERCY ANNUALLY BUT CANNOT DUE TO THE LACK OF PHYSICAL SPACE AVAILABLE. THE LIMITS OF PHYSICAL SPACE HAVE ALSO IMPACTED PROGRAMS, HOLDING BACK INNOVATION. FOR EXAMPLE, THE HOSPITAL HAS BEEN UNABLE TO RESPOND TO THE COMMUNITY’S DEMAND FOR LOW-RISK PREGNANCY CARE OPTIONS. HOWEVER, THE MOST DIFFICULT REALITY MERCY FACES IS TURNING AWAY THOUSANDS OF MOTHERS WHO NEED CARE, INCLUDING MANY WHO RELY ON MEDICAID. THUS, LIMITED CAPACITY HINDERS OUR ABILITY TO CARE FOR ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED WOMEN IN OUR COMMUNITIES. A MAJOR LEAP FORWARD IS NEEDED BOTH IN PHYSICAL SPACE AND IN THE QUALITY OF THE HEALING ENVIRONMENT DEMANDED BY A POPULATION THAT HAS ENJOYED DECADES OF STEADY GROWTH. MERCY HOSPITAL OKLAHOMA CITY WAS DESIGNED TO FACILITATE 3,000 DELIVERIES ANNUALLY, HOWEVER, SAW NEARLY 4,000 BIRTHS IN 2020 WITH AS MANY AS 6,000 ANTICIPATED ANNUAL DELIVERIES TO MEET CURRENT DEMAND MERCY IS BUILDING THE LOVE’S FAMILY WOMEN’S CENTER ON ITS OKLAHOMA CITY MAIN CAMPUS TO ADDRESS THE LACK OF ACCESS TO WOMEN’S SERVICES ACROSS THE REGION. THE WOMEN’S CENTER IS A FOUR STORY,174,000 SQUARE FOOT ADDITION CONNECTING TO THE MAIN HOSPITAL IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE CAMPUS. THE BUILDING IS FOCUSED ON WOMEN’S HEALTH AND WILL INCLUDE A CAFE, CHAPEL, IMAGING, CL INIC, BIRTHING, PRE/POST & SURGERY SERVICES FOR WOMEN. IT WILL BE THE ENTRY POINT FOR THOUSANDS OF COMPREHENSIVE WOMEN’S HEALTH SERVICE VISITS. IN TOTAL, INCLUDING LABOR AND DELIVERY PLUS OTHER SERVICES, THE NEW WOMEN’S CENTER WILL SERVE OVER 10,000 WOMEN ANNUALLY. THE FULL SPECTRUM OF SERVICES AND FEATURES INCLUDE: - FOUR-STORY, 174,000-SQUARE-FOOT FACILITY NEW CONSTRUCTION - OBSTETRICAL EMERGENCY ROOM - DIRECT CONNECTION TO NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT - HIGH RISK PRENATAL CARE - LABOR, DELIVERY AND POSTPARTUM CARE - LOW INTERVENTION BIRTHING OPTIONS - LACTATION SUPPORT - POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION CARE - INFANT LOSS AND BEREAVEMENT SUPPORT - COMPREHENSIVE WOMEN'S SERVICES, INCLUDING SPECIALIZED WOMEN’S SURGERY, MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES AND MANY OTHER SERVICES ON-SITE - CONFERENCE CENTER, CHAPEL, CAFE AND BOUTIQUE - SUPPORT FOR LOW-INCOME WOMEN THE ESTIMATED 2020 POPULATION OF THE PRIMARY SERVICE AREA IS 1,342,647 WITH PROJECTED GROWTH EACH YEAR. GEOGRAPHICALLY, THE PROJECT WILL SERVE WOMEN AND BABIES IN THE OKLAHOMA CITY REGION, BUT ALSO EXTEND TO THE NEIGHBORING RURAL COMMUNITIES WHERE THERE IS LIMITED ACCESS TO WOMEN’S SERVICES. THIS PROJECT WILL IMPROVE HEALTH EQUITY AMONG BOTH MEDICAID AND RURAL PATIENTS. ROUGHLY 30% OF WOMEN’S ADMISSIONS AND 50% OF NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT ADMISSIONS CONSIST OF MEDICAID OR UNINSURED PATIENTS. MERCY OFFERS FINANCIAL AID FOR ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED FAMILIES SO THEY CAN RECEIVE THE SAME HIGH-QUALITY CARE AS THOSE WHO HAVE INSURANCE. THIS PROJECT WILL ENSURE QUALITY WOMEN’S SERVICES ARE EQUALLY AVAILABLE TO ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS.
