INTRODUCTION: COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT
"One thing we knowfor sure. is that haspitaLs must undergo a paradigm shit from episodic
interventions with patients, to continuous support of entire communities ... from restoring health
patient by patient. to protecting and promoting the health status of the community as a whole ... from
planning service delivery, to population -based community planning.
In a sense it is back to the future."JamesA Rice, Ph.D.
Whiz a communitu.needs assessment and communitu-benefits Dian are required
In 1994. the California State Legislature passed SB 697, which calls for non -rural, private, not-for-
profit hospitals to:
1) Reaffirm their mission statements by July of 1995, to indicate that their policies integrate and
reflect public interest;
2) Conduct a community -needs assessment every three years, beginning in 1995. The assessment
must include a process for consulting with local groups and government officials to identify
and prioritize community needs that hospitals can address directly or in collaboration with
others. The first needs assessment is to be completed by December 31, 1995; and
3) Adopt a yearly community -benefits plan. The plan must include activities the hospital has
-undertaken to address community needs within its mission and financial capacity. The
first plan is to be submitted to the State Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development
by April 1, 1996.
What a communitu-needs assessment and communitu-benefits WIan are intended to do
While the state refutes that SB 697 is designed to justify the tax-exempt status of non-profit hospitals.
this was a clear impetus behind the bill. Here are the official reasons for a needs assessment:
• Let hospitals demonstrate how they:
- Determine the needs of the community.
- Integrate those needs into the hospital's planning processes,
- Demonstrate the link between the needs assessment and the community benefits plan that is
implemented.
- Allocate financial resources to meet those needs.
- Implement policies as a function of strategic planning,
- Implement data systems to account for community -benefit activities, and
- Develop measurement standards to evaluate progress;
• Provide a forum and reporting structure that will promote a hospital's accountability to its
community;
• Encourage community partnerships in creating healthier communities;
• Support publicly the full scope of benefits the hospital provides to the community;
• Strengthen connections between hospitals and local communities; and
• Make It safe for hospitals within the same community to talk about collaborative efforts to
promote community health. This is a shift from competition to collaboration. makes
better use of available resources and helps avoid duplication of community resources in the
development of healthier communities.
The historu of SB 697
SB 697 was developed in 1994 by representatives of non-profit hospitals. It was developed proactively,
rather than waiting until 1995 when it was expected the legislature would craft its own bill requiring
hospitals to justify non-profit statuses.
2
Sources for this re rt
Data was collected from a variety of hospital. state, county and local agencies using the most reliable
and current sources. Lodi Memorial Hospital faces an unusual challenge as its service area covers a
five -county area. and data for comparative and other purposes is not always available for all five
counties. To compound matters, e.dsting databases are often out of date. Data for this report was
compiled from reviewing existing data and interviewing city planning departments and other local
sources who have unpublished, best -guess estimates. Data was also collected from direct interviews
with community members. medical staff. hospital staff and volunteers.
Definition of a community benefit
Community -benefit activities are activities a hospital does or can do to address community needs and
priorities, primarily through disease prevention and improvement of health status. To qualify under
SB 697, the activity should target the need of an underserved population and be determined through a
community assessment. Activities may include:
• Services rendered to a vulnerable population, charity care. the unreimbursed cost of providing
services to the uninsured, underinsured and those eligible for Medi -Cal. Medicare, California
Children's Services Program or county indigent programs;
• Financial or in-kind support of public-health programs;
• Donations of funds. property or other resources that contribute to a community priority;
• Health -care -cost containment;
• Enhancement of access to health care or related services that contribute to a healthier
community;
• Services offered without regard to financial return because they meet a community need in the
hospital's service area, and other services including health promotion. health education,
prevention and social services;
• Outreach clinics in socio -economically depressed areas:
• Community -oriented wellness and health promotion;
• Food. shelter, clothing, education, transportation and other goods or services that help
maintain a person's health;
• Sponsorship of free food, shelter and clothing to the homeless;
• Delivered meals to the home -bound;
• Adult day care;
• Child care; and
• Medical research, medical education, nursing and other professional training.
Some examples of Lodi Memorial Hospital community -benefit activities include:
• Primary-care clinic
• Physician referral
• Speaker's bureau and community forums
• Low-cost or no -cost flu shots
• Educational materials
• Job shadowing
• Charity care
• Immunization clinic
• Ask a nurse
• Adult day care
• Health fairs and free screenings
• Nutritional counseling
• Hospital tours for school groups and others
• Meeting space for community/self-help groups
• Food and clothes closet
• Sponsoring local clergy at JCAHO workshop
• Educational opportunities. childbirth. CPR and other classes
• Donation of hospital equipment and medical supplies
3
What Lodi Memorial Hospital is exerted to dh with its communitu.neecis assessment
Since our community does not have sufficient resources to address all the public health problems it
faces, the hospital must:
• Analyze the data from this report;
• Identify problems and internal or external resources to solve those problems;
• Develop programs and services to resolve those problems, as best as possible within the realm of
the hospital's and the community's resources and;
• Develop ways to measure the effectiveness of programs established.
The hospital's community -benefit plan must be developed and approved by its board by the March 20,
board meeting. so it can be submitted to the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development by
April 1. 1996.

utchins Street, Suite A • Lodi, California 95240
There is just no end to the support
we find in the community
towards Hutchins Street Square.
Our newest contributor is F & H Con-
struction and many of its sub -contractors
with their recent decision to build the
port cochere as a donation to the project.
The port cochere, valued at $120,000,
is a graceful overhang which connects to
the north side of the new Performing Arts
and Conference Center. It links the build-
ing to the center parking lot median and
provides a drive-through shelter for
entrance to the facility from the Oak Street
parking lot
Footings were dug last week and side-
walk superintendents will begin to see the
entrance take shape over the next few
weeks.
The principals of F & H Construction
expressed their pride in the work that has
been done in Lodi with the construction
of the Performing Arts and Conference
Center at Hutchins Street Square.
"We were the contractors on the Senior
Complex seven years ago, and it is a
continuing pleasure to work with the City
of Lodi. They have a fine team of people,
including the architect and the construc-
tion manager, and you certainly cannot
deny the support they generate from
members of the community. Lodi is just a
fine town, and our employees and subs
are thrilled to be working so close to our
home base."
On behalf of the Hutchins Street
Square Foundation, Chairman Dennis
Bennett commented, "You would be hard
pressed to find a company as professional
and committed to a project as F & H
Construction. We are very pleased with
their work and expect the community
will appreciate their attention to detail.
The addition of the Performing Arts and
Conference Center's port cochere is a
substantial contribution, and we are truly
grateful for their support."
"WIGGLE IN YOUR SEATS" ALMOST SOLD OUT!
0 ur seat sales are going well and
we have less than 200 left to
claim, so if you're aiming to
"Wiggle In -Your Seat" with the rest of
Lodi, you had better place your order
fast!
The theatre seat campaign in the new
performing arts theatre is a wonderful
testimony to the support local folks have
offered to the final construction phase of
Hutchins Street Square. A total of 789
theatre seats were available for a contri-
bution of $250 (cash, check or Visa/
Mastercard!) to purchase a seat of your
choice featuring engraved armrests per-
sonalized with your name.
The theatre chairs are a burnished
red mohair covered seat surrounded by
a mahogany wood back. Individuals who
purchase seats are invited to a one-time
"Wiggle In Your Seat" recognition party
with entertainment and a photograph of
the friends of Hutchins Street Square
enjoying their position.
"Every seat in our new theatre is in
the first class section," according to our
architect Tim Mattheis, and it is evident
by the pattern of seats chosen by our
donors. Aisle seats, center front and back
rows all share equal billing by the folks
who are donating and choosing their
very own chair.
The guarantee for your seat, of
course, is that you can sit in your special
chair that one night and enjoy the party.
This effort is a fund raiser to help cover
construction costs. A master plan of the
theatre seating is in the Hutchins Street
Square office and we would love to let
you choose the chair of your choice.
Please call 333-6782 and have Toni
personally assist you.

Table to the Square
Hurchins Street Square neighbor
Ryan Lanchester was more than
just curious about the construc-
tion of the new Performing Arts and
Conference Center and actually con-
vinced us there was furniture in the roof
trusses. And we were certainly impressed when he walked
back into the office a few months later with a beautiful
hand-crafted mission style table and benches made from the
reclaimed wood of the auditorium roof.
Lanchester said, "The idea of the table and benches
occurred to me when I saw the old roof of the auditorium
being removed and the wood was destined for less noble
purposes. The douglas fir had served as roof trusses for the
better part of a century and endured the incredibly high
temperatures that can be obtained in an attic in the San
Joaquin Valley."
"Wood seasoned in this manner is, needless to say,
rarely used in the construction of furniture. In fact, I have
never had the experience of working with wood this hard
or heavy. It was tricky, and at times trying, to obtain the
desired results."
"Despite some of the less than desirable characteristics
of the wood, it was very satisfying to have these pieces of
furniture made from the old high school. Hopefully these
pieces will live on into the future for at least as long as
they served as a roof. Good use of a tree!"
On behalf of the Hutchins Street Square Foundation,
we thank Ryan for his generous donation of time and
talent and guarantee the tables and benches will find a
prominent spot in the newly constructed Performing
Arts and Conference Center.

Christmas Ball Features Doll Houses at Auction
It seems like Christmas around town
with eight families volunteering their
time to assemble children's doll .
houses as part of chairman Carol Meeh -
leis' vision of the holidays.
"These houses are definitely gifts of
the heart," exclaimed Meehleis. Some
little girl or boy will absolutely be awe-
struck at these creations. We have a doll
house called 'Beacon Hill' and another
called 'Willowcrest' — and there is even
a log cabin which should stir the interest
of some grandparent to give their grand-
son on Christmas morning." Lodians
who are painstakingly building the doll
houses include Darren Kraemer, Bill
Schultz, Merle Warner, Ruth Brown,
HatsO
Perry Finch, Bill Meehleis and Avenue
Florist.
Meehleis commented there will be
one room in each house furnished by
local merchants including Avenue Florist,
Kiino Florist, Avenue Drugs, Accents,
Chelsey's and Lakewood Drugs. The
other rooms will be left bare for the new
owner to furnish. Lakewood Drugs will
display one of the doll houses in their
Ham Lane store this fall.
The doll houses will be available for
sale through sealed bid during the month
of November at Hutchins Street Square,
or through the live auction at the "Old
Fashioned Christmas" Ball on Saturday,
December 6, 1997.
o Lodi Lions
Tickets for the Christmas Ball go on
sale in November for $150 per couple.
The event features dinner by Wine and
Roses Country Inn and dancing. For
more information please call the Square
at 333-6782.

BRICK BY BRICK...
The bricks tell a wonderful story about "community," whether celebrating a new birth, recognizing a friend
or fondly remembering a lost one, the legacy bricks at Hutchins Street Square are a gift of the heart.
The east entrance of the Square is lined with individually printed bricks purchased by Lodi area folks as
part of our fund raiser to generate money and interest in rebuilding the facility. The design of the bricks
includes 20 x 24 foot squares which are edged with the old town red colored bricks from the I -LC. Muddox
Company in Sacramento. Each brick is imprinted with a personalized message from the purchaser. Centered
in the middle of each large square is a brass circle engraved with the year of the graduating classes from Lodi
Union High School.
Bricks can be purchased at Hutchins Street Square, corner of Walnut and Hutchins Street. Gift cards are
available for those special gifts of a brick and we'd be happy to send them out for you!
Our newest bricks that will be laid in October include some of the following messages — come down and
see for yourself!

Arthritis Foundation Aquatic Program
Hutchins Street Square in conjunction with Lodi Memorial Hospital presents this aquatic program to help in
"Keeping Lodi Healthy."
Purpose and Benefits:
The purpose of this aquatic program is to provide an opportunity for people with arthritis to
participate in a recreational group activity. A friendly and supportive atmosphere is provided
and an atmosphere where new friends can be made and new activities tried out without fcar of
failure. The social interactions provided by the program can decrease feelings of depression
and isolation. Progress in the aquatic exercises may also lead to increased independence and
improved self-esteem.
Although this aquatic program is a nonclinical program, that is, one that will not replace a
eilpprescribed regimen of therapeutic exercises, it may result in some physical benefits. The
warmth and buoyancy of water can help decrease pain and/or stiffness and help improve or
so'•■••"410 maintain joint flexibility. Depending upon the participant's capabilities, some persons may
experience increased muscle strength and improved balance, coordination, endurance , and
ability to perform daily tasks.
40440 The Arthritis Foundation Aquatic Program is open to any adult with any type of arthritis. It is
not necessary to know how to swim. Persons with severe joint problems or who have had joint
surgery must have a physician consent signed prior to taking the class.
The Hutchins Street Square pool is certified by the Arthritis Foundation and the temperature is maintained at
a comfortable 85 degrees Fahrenheit. This is a safe temperature that will prevent the body from over -heating
while exercising.
This program will mcct on Tuesday and Thursday from 1 to 2 p.m. The fee for
participants are $5 per session or cards are available for $36 (8 classes - $4 savings). Pay at the first class.
Registration information can be obtained at Lodi Memorial Hospital Information Desk or Hutchins Street
Square Senior Center, 125 S. Hutchins Street, or call the Senior Center at 369-6921.
