5 Introduction to Community Health Needs Assessments GENERAL The Affordable Care Act establishes specific statutory requirements that hospitals must meet to qualify as organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and allow them to be exempt from federal income tax. As part of the new IRS requirements, hospitals must conduct a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) to serve as an essential tool for developing a health improvement plan for the community the hospital serves. A community health needs assessment poises hospitals as leaders who have identified the health needs of their communities and are working towards solutions to meet those needs. The statutory requirements specified in the Affordable Care Act state: Each hospital facility must conduct a Community Health Needs Assessment at least once every three tax years and adopt an implementation strategy to meet the community health needs identified through the assessment The Community Health Needs Assessment must take into account input from persons who represent the broad interests of the community serviced by the hospital facility; including those with special knowledge of or expertise in public health Must be made widely available to the public Each hospital must disclose in Form 990 how it is addressing all of the needs identified in the assessment and if not, why not A Community Health Needs Assessment serves as a systematic approach to collecting, analyzing and utilizing data to identify priority areas for improving health. Hospitals use this report as a call to action, engaging community members through public awareness messages, creating effective programs and policies and collaborating with other organizations to bring positive change to their community. The long-term goal of a Community Health Needs Assessment is to identify health priorities and develop impact strategies with all health-related stakeholders in the community. COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS This Community Health Needs Assessment is the continuation of Central Florida Health s dedication to community health assessment work. Central Florida Health (formerly known as Central Florida Health Alliance) is a not-for-profit family of hospitals including Leesburg Regional Medical Center and The Villages Regional Hospital. A separate CHNA was completed for each hospital. Central Florida Health engaged the services of WellFlorida Council to complete the Community Health Needs Assessment for The Villages Regional Hospital and Leesburg Regional Medical Center. This report serves as the CHNA for the Leesburg Regional Medical Center Service Area. WellFlorida Council is the statutorily designated (F.S ) local health council that serves north central Florida, including the Central Florida Health service areas of Lake, Marion and Sumter counties along with thirteen other counties. The mission of WellFlorida Council is to forge partnerships in planning, research and service that build INTRODUCTION PAGE 1

6 healthier communities. WellFlorida achieves this mission by providing communities the insights, tolls, and services necessary to identify their most pressing issues (e.g. community health assessments and community health improvement plans) and to design and implement approaches to overcoming those issues. The Central Florida Health Steering Committee and WellFlorida based the CHNA effort on a nationally recognized model and best practice for completing health assessments and improvement plans called Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP). The MAPP tool was developed by the National Association of City and County Health Officials (NACCHO) in cooperation with the Public Health Practice Program Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). NACCHO and CDC s vision for implementing MAPP is: Communities achieving improved health and quality of life by mobilizing partnerships and taking strategic action. At the heart of the MAPP process are the four core MAPP assessments. These are: Community Health Status Assessment (CHSA) Community Themes and Strengths Assessment (CTSA) Forces of Change Assessment (FCA) Local Public Health System Assessment (LPHSA)* These four MAPP assessments work in concert to identify common themes and considerations in order to hone in on key community health needs. Three of the four MAPP assessments are fully integrated into the 2016 CHNA. Please note, this document is a health needs assessment and its purpose is to uncover or substantiate the health needs and health issues in the service area. This report will not establish priority goals and objectives for addressing these issues or create a strategic plan for achieving those goals and objectives. These are the next phases of the MAPP process referred to as the Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP). *The Local Public Health System Assessment was omitted from this process given that it is typically completed and facilitated by the local health department. The LPHSA measures how well the local public health system (county-level) delivers the 10 Essential Public Health Services. Each county health department is required to complete the LPHSA every five years. The Leesburg Regional Medical Center Service Area includes six zip codes from Lake County, one zip code from Marion County and three zip codes from Sumter County. The Lake County zip codes are Lady Lake (32158 Post Office); Fruitland Park (34731); Leesburg (34748 and 34788); Tavares (32778); and Eustis (32726), the Marion County zip code is Summerfield (34492 Post Office), and the Sumter County zip codes are The Villages (32163 Post Office) and Wildwood The zip code areas chosen were based on the top 75% of discharges from the hospital during the 2014 fiscal year. The culmination of this assessment was a 7 month process beginning in August 2015 and completing in March INTRODUCTION PAGE 2

7 ORGANIZATION OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT REPORT The Leesburg Regional Medical Center Service Area Community Health Needs Assessment is comprised of the following main sections: Executive Summary: This section includes an overview of the CHNA process; description of the organization of the CHNA report; insights on using the CHNA; and a brief synopsis of the common themes and considerations identified in the needs assessment. Community Health Status: This section is in essence the Community Health Status Assessment which is one of the four core MAPP assessments. Detailed in this section are demographic and socioeconomic factors, and mortality and morbidity indicators that describe the overall health status of the Leesburg Regional Medical Center Service Area as compared to Florida. Community Themes and Strengths: This section provides qualitative perspective on health issues and the health system from the community at-large, and fulfills the statutory requirement of taking into account input from persons representing the broad interests of the community serviced by the hospital facility which also fulfills the MAPP requirement of receiving community input on the health needs of the community. The Community Themes and Strengths section is comprised of key insights and themes from the Business Leader Survey, Community Member Survey, and the Physician Survey. Forces of Change: This section provides qualitative perspective on trends, factors or events that are or will be influencing the health and quality of life in the community and the work of the community to improve health outcomes. Recommendations and Next Steps: This section begins with a brief summary of the intersecting themes that cut across all sections of the CHNA and some of the key considerations generated from these common themes. Following the summary of these themes and considerations, this section details some general suggestions about how to move forward with the identified needs; provides some specific examples of approaches to address these needs; and discusses some community organizations principals that will need to be addressed to ensure that true community health improvement is realized. USING THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT The Leesburg Regional Medical Center Service Area Community Health Needs Assessment Report is designed so that the three major sections: Community Health Status, Community Themes and Strengths, and Forces of Change address the three core MAPP assessments that are designated as key components of this community health needs assessment as designed by NACCHO and CDC. The identification of global health needs of the community comes from an analysis of the intersecting themes in each of these sections. Overall, the main objectives of this CHNA are the following: To accurately depict the Leesburg Regional Medical Center Service Areas key health issues based on common themes from the three MAPP assessments; To identify potential strategic issues and some potential approaches to addressing those issues; To provide insight and input to the next phase of the MAPP assessment/improvement process; INTRODUCTION PAGE 3

8 To provide the community a rich data resource not only for the next phase of the improvement process, but also for ongoing resource and program development and implementation as well as evaluation of community health improvement. While the Leesburg Regional Medical Center Service Area Community Health Needs Assessment Report, 2016 (LRMC CHNA) is undoubtedly a stand-alone document, the Report has been designed to work in concert with the accompanying Technical Appendix, the Leesburg Regional Medical Center Service Area Community Health Needs Assessment Report, 2016 presents data and issues at a higher more global level for the community, all of the data in the LRMC CHNA is also included, often in more granular level detail, in the Technical Appendix. Thus, for most data that are briefly addressed in this report, the Technical Appendix presents these data in a very fine level of detail breaking data sets down, for example, by zip code, race, ethnicity, gender, etc., where appropriate and when available. The Technical Appendix is an invaluable companion resource to the Leesburg Regional Medical Center CHNA, and it will allow the community to dig deeper into the issues identified to more readily understand the issues and where or for whom in the community these issues may be more pervasive. The Technical Appendix is comprised of more than 240 tables, graphs, maps and supporting material across nearly 900 pages. The Technical Appendix is organized into the following major data sections: Demographics and Socioeconomics Mortality Mental Health Maternal and Infant Health Health Behaviors Infectious Diseases Health Care Access and Utilization State Concerns Survey Responses Please note that many of the data tables in this CHNA Report and in the Technical Appendix contain standardized rates for the purpose of comparing Lake, Marion and Sumter counties to the state of Florida as a whole. It is advisable to interpret these rates with caution when incidence rates are low; thus small variations from year to year can result in substantial shifts in the standardized rates. KEY OBSERVATIONS Presented below, are the intersecting themes which, in essence, comprise an overview of the major health needs/issues in the Leesburg Regional Medical Service Area. Following the intersecting themes are the key considerations which are the potential strategic areas of opportunity identified as a result of this community health needs assessment.

10 Community Health Status Assessment INTRODUCTION The Community Health Status section represents the results of the Community Health Status Assessment (CHSA) which is one of the four core MAPP assessments for community health needs assessment and community health improvement planning. This section is primarily extracted from the companion Technical Appendix document. The data in this section and in the Technical Appendix were compiled and tabulated from multiple sources including, but not limited to, the United States Census Bureau; The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS); the Florida Department of Health s Office of Vital Statistics; the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (ACHA); the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Data was also obtained from the Leesburg Regional Medical Center. Many of the data tables in this section and in the Technical Appendix report contain standardized rates for the purpose of comparing the Leesburg Regional Medical Center (LRMC) Service Area to Florida as a whole. It is advisable to interpret these rates with caution when incidence rates are low (the number of cases are small); thus small variations from year to year can result in substantial shifts in the standardized rates. The data presented in this summary include references to specific tables in the report so that users can see the numbers and the rates in context. DEMOGRAPHICS AND SOCIOECONOMICS As population dynamics (variations in the overall composition of a population) change over time, so do the health and healthcare needs of communities. Therefore, it is important to review specific indicators, including demographic and socioeconomic factors, to understand a community s current health status, pressing healthcare issues, and disparities. The following section provides a summary of population distribution (including age, gender, and race/ethnicity) and estimates related to the future growth of the population. Also included, are measures of education, poverty status, employment, and income. Noted below are key findings from the Leesburg Regional Medical Center (LRMC) Service Area demographic and socioeconomic profile. POPULATION Population growth is a key determinant of the necessary healthcare services a community requires to be able to sustain positive health behaviors and effective health outcomes. The LRMC Service Area primarily serves an adult population greater than 55 years of age (59.6%), compared to the 62.1% the Central Florida Health (CFH) Service Area and 29.7% Florida serves (Table 12, Technical Appendix). As seen in Figure 1, the overwhelming majority of the LRMC Service Area population is White (89.6%), compared to the CFH Service Area and Florida, with a slightly smaller and larger White population (87.3% and 75.0%, respectively) (Table 9, Technical Appendix). The Black, American Indian and Alaska Native, Asian only, and Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander population comprise 9.4%, 0.3%, 1.0%, and 0.1% COMMUNITY HEALTH STATUS ASSESSMENT PAGE 6

11 of the LRMC Service Area, respectively, while 1.6% identify themselves as another race and 1.3% identify as having two or more races. Lastly, 93.8%, of the population in the LRMC Service Area identify as non- Hispanic or Latino, which is comparable to the percentage of non-hispanics or Latinos in the CFH Service Area, but substantially greater than Florida (77.5%) (Table 10, Technical Appendix) FIGURE 1. LRMC SERVICE AREA POPULATION ESTIMATES BY RACE, Black, 9.4 American Indian/Alaska Native, 0.3 White, 89.6 Asian, 1.0 Other Race, 1.6 Source: Table 9, Central Florida Health Technical Appendix 2015, prepared by WellFlorida Council LIFE EXPECTANCY Two or More Races, Native 1.3 Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, 0.1 Considering all races and ethnicities, the greatest life expectancy for males in 2010 was in Sumter County (78.3 years) followed by Lake County (75.8 years), and Marion County (74.3 years), compared to Florida (76.3 years) (Tables 4-6). Similarly, the greatest life expectancy for females in 2010 was in Sumter County (82.5 years), followed by Lake County (81.3 years), and Marion County (80.3 years), compared to Florida (81.6 years) (Table 1).

ECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS The LRMC Service Area has lower percentage of individuals living in poverty when compared to Florida (16.3%), but a greater percentage when compared to the CFH Service Area (11.2%). Considering the zip codes associated with the LRMC Service Area, the estimated percentage of poverty is highest in Coleman (34.6%) and lowest in The Villages (5.0%) (Table 40, Technical Appendix). Across all three counties within the LRMC Service Area, Marion County has the most individuals living in poverty (18.1%), which is higher than the state of Florida (16.3%) by a difference of 11.0%, compared to Lake County (13.8%) and Sumter County (12.0%), which are lower than Florida by a difference of 15.3% and 26.4%, respectively (Table 39, Technical Appendix). The percentage of males living in poverty in the LRMC Service Area (11.7%) outpaces the CFH Service Area (10.7%), but remains lower than the state of Florida (15.3%). Similarly, the percentage of females living in poverty in the LRMC Service Area (12.5%) outpaces the CFH Service Area (11.7%), but remains lower than the state of Florida (17.3%) (Table 39, Technical Appendix). There are more females living in poverty in Marion County (19.1%) compared to Florida (17.3%), and similarly, more males living in poverty in Marion County (17.0%) compared to Florida (15.3%) (Table 39, Technical Appendix). There are a greater number of children (0-17 years of age) than adults (18-64) and elderly (65+) living in poverty in the LRMC Service Area (30.2%) when compared to both the CFH Service Area (28.9%) and Florida (23.6%) (Table 39, Technical Appendix). As seen in Figure 2, the greatest numbers of children living in poverty are in Sumter and Marion County (31.4% and 29.4%, respectively) compared to Lake County COMMUNITY HEALTH STATUS ASSESSMENT PAGE 8

13 (21.4%) and Florida (23.6%) (Table 39). There are a smaller percentage of elderly (65-74 years of age) living in poverty across Lake, Marion, and Sumter County (6.6%, 7.8%, and 3.9%, respectively) compared to Florida (9.6%). FIGURE 2. ESTIMATED NUMBER AND PERCENT OF INDIVIDUALS BY AGE IN POVERTY IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS, CENTRAL FLORIDA HEALTH COUNTIES AND FLORIDA, Children, 0-17 Adults, Adults, Elderly, Elderly, Lake County Marion County Sumter County Florida Source: Table 39, Central Florida Health Technical Appendix 2015, prepared by WellFlorida Council The percentage of the Black population living in poverty in the LRMC Service Area (31.6%) is greater than the CFH Service Area and Florida (30.6% and 28.2%, respectively), whereas, the percentage of the White population living in poverty in the LRMC Service Area (10.1%) is slightly greater than the CFH Service Area (9.4%) but substantially lower than Florida (13.6%) (Table 39, Technical Appendix).As seen in Table 2, the percentage of the Black population (24.3% in Lake County, 31.1% in Marion County, and 33.3% in Sumter County) living in poverty is greater than the percentage of the White population (12.5% in Lake County, 15.6%, and 10.6% in Sumter County).

15 MORTALITY AND MORBIDITY The rates of mortality and morbidity are often referred to as the most direct measures of health and wellbeing of a community. To gain a better understanding of the current health status of the LRMC Service Area population, the prevalence of diseases and quality of life were thoroughly examined. Below, are some key facts related to the rates of mortality and morbidity in the LRMC Service Area. CAUSES OF DEATH The top 5 leading causes of death in the LRMC Service area for all races are: 1) Cancer, 2) Heart Disease, 3) Unintentional Injuries, 4) Chronic Lower Respiratory Disease (CLRD) and 5) Stroke. The top 5 leading causes of death for the LRMC Service Area, while in a different order, are parallel to the CFH Service Area and Florida s top five leading causes of death (Table 4). TABLE 4. AGE ADJUSTED DEATH RATES PER 100,000 POPULATION FOR ALL RACES FOR TOP CAUSES OF DEATH BY SERVICE AREA AND FLORIDA, LRMC CFH Florida County Average Number of Deaths Age Adjusted Death Rate Per 100,000 Population Average Number of Deaths Age Adjusted Death Rate Per 100,000 Population Average Number of Deaths Age Adjusted Death Rate Per 100,000 Population Cancer , Heart Disease , Unintentional Injuries , Chronic Lower Respiratory Disease (CLRD) , Stroke , Source: Tables 74-78, Central Florida Health Technical Appendix 2015, prepared by WellFlorida Council As of 2014, the age-adjusted death rate (per 100,000 population) for Cancer is the only cause of death that is less than the age-adjusted deaths rates for the CFH Service Area and Florida (Table 4) Disparity: Wildwood has had the highest age-adjusted death rate (per 100,000 population) for Cancer (200.0) and Heart Disease (193.7) (Tables 74 and 75, Technical Appendix). Summerfield has the highest age-adjusted death rate (per 100,000 population) for Unintentional Injuries (84.6) (Table 76, Technical Appendix) Eustis has the highest age-adjusted death rate (per 100,000 population) for CLRD (55.1) (Table 78, Technical Appendix). COMMUNITY HEALTH STATUS ASSESSMENT PAGE 11

16 Fruitland Park has the highest age-adjusted death rate (per 100,000 population) for Stroke (Table 79, Technical Appendix). TABLE 5.

In both service areas, the White population is affected by Alzheimer s and Parkinson s Disease more than any other race. Influenza and Pneumonia, as a top leading cause of death, is more prevalent among COMMUNITY HEALTH STATUS ASSESSMENT PAGE 12

17 the White population, compared to Blacks and Hispanics. Furthermore, compared to Whites and Hispanics, Whites are affected more by CLRD (Table 5). Compared to the White population, Diabetes is a more frequent cause of death for the Black population, especially for the CFH Service Area as a whole. Unintentional Injury, as a cause of death, ranks lower for Blacks in comparison to Hispanics and Whites, respectively, in each service area. Furthermore, in both service areas, HIV is documented as a leading cause of death for Blacks only. Lastly, Nephritis, as a leading cause of death, is less prevalent among the White population, when compared to Blacks and Hispanics (Table 5). In both service areas, the two top leading causes of death for Hispanics (Heart Disease followed by cancer) are in reverse order for Whites and Blacks. In both service areas, Liver Disease is documented as a leading cause for Hispanics only (Table 5). BEHAVIORAL RISK FACTORS The presence of good health behaviors and the absence of poor health behaviors is the cornerstone of a healthy community. Because of this, the national and state governments have invested substantial resources to understanding the health behaviors of residents throughout the United States both at the state and county level. This Behavioral Risk Factors section details selected health behaviors that regardless of source, are based primarily on the national, state, and county-level surveys of behavior conducted as part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. Note: Due to the lack of data available at a zip code level, therefore being able to clarify the LRMC Service Area with greater efficacy, BRFSS Indicators are summarized at a county-level as a substitute. ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION The percentage of adults who engage in heavy or binge drinking has decreased in Lake County (15.9% to 14.5%) and Marion County (11.5% to 10.8%) from 2010 to 2013 by a difference of 8.8% and 6.1%, respectively. In Sumter County, this percentage has increased from 2010 (7.8%) to 2013 (15.1%) by a percent change of 93.6% (Tables , Technical Appendix). As of 2013, the current percentage of adults who engage in heavy or binge drinking in Lake County (14.5%), Marion County (10.8%) and Sumter County (15.1%) is less than Florida (17.6%) (Tables , Technical Appendix). CANCER SCREENINGS Since 2010, the percentage of women who reported receiving a Pap test in the past year decreased in Lake County 58.1% to 44.3% (a percent change of 23.8%) (Table 123, Technical Appendix) and in Sumter County 60.1%to 44.2% (a percent change of 26.6%) (Table 125, Technical Appendix). Additionally, the percentage of women 18 years of age and older in Lake County who reported receiving a clinical breast exam in the past year decreased from 69.2% to 56.5% (a percent change of 18.4%) (Table 123, Technical Appendix). As of 2013, the percentage of women who reported having a hysterectomy in Lake County (30.8%), Marion County (31.6%) and Sumter County (33.8%) was higher than the state of Florida (24.7%) by a difference of 24.7%, 27.9% and 36.8%, respectively (Tables , Technical Appendix). COMMUNITY HEALTH STATUS ASSESSMENT PAGE 13

18 HIV/AIDS Since 2013, the percentage of adults (less than 65 years of age) who have ever been tested for HIV in Lake County (46.4%), Marion County (44.7%), and Sumter County (38.5%) are each lower than the state of Florida (50.6%) by a difference of 8.3%, 11.7%, and 23.9%, respectively (Tables , Technical Appendix). IMMUNIZATIONS Overall, immunization statistics including those adults who have received a flu shot, a pneumococcal, and/or a tetanus vaccination in the past year and/or ever across all three counties which represent the LRMC Service Area are either similar or better than the statistics for immunizations across the state as a whole since 2013 (Tables , Technical Appendix). DIABETES The percentage of adults with a diabetes diagnosis in Lake County (15.2%), Marion County (14.7%), and Sumter County (16.2%) are each higher than Florida (11.2%) by a difference of 35.7%, 31.3%, and 44.6%, respectively (Tables , Technical Appendix). Furthermore, since 2010, there has been an increase in the percentage of adults diagnosed with diabetes in Lake County (by a percent change of 13.4%), Marion County (by a percent change of 20.5%), and in Sumter County (by a percent change of 36.1%). While selfmanagement education is critical to reducing the burden of diabetes, the percentage of adults who report ever participating in diabetes self-management education has decreased in Lake County (by a percent change of 5.9%) and in Marion County (by a percent change of 5.8%), whereas this percentage has increased in Sumter County (by a percent change of 7.4%) (Tables , Technical Appendix). HEALTH CARE ACCESS & COVERAGE Since 2010, the percentage of adults who could not see a doctor due to cost has increased in Lake County (by a percent change of 45.8%), whereas this percentage has decreased in Marion County (by a percent change of 19.0%) and Sumter County (by a percent change of 14.0%) (Tables ). When compared to Florida (77.1%), Lake County (79.4%), Marion County (78.0%) and Sumter County (88.4%) had a higher percentage of adults with any type of health care insurance coverage (Tables , Technical Appendix). HEART DISEASE As of 2013, the percentage of adults who have ever had a stroke in Lake County (4.5%, which has increased since 2010 from 3.4%), Marion County (6.5%, which has increased since 2010 from 5.4%) and Sumter County (6.9%, which has increased since 2010 from 5.8%) are each higher than Florida (3.7%) by a difference of 21.6%, 75.7% and 86.5%, respectively (Tables ). Likewise, the percentage of adults who have ever been told they had coronary heart disease, heart attack or stroke has increased in Marion County (14.4%, which has increased since 2010 from 13.6%) and Sumter County (16.8%, which has increased since 2010 from 15.1%) are higher than Florida (10.3%) by a difference of 39.8% and 63.1%, respectively (Tables 124 and 125, Technical Appendix).

19 HEALTH STATUS AND QUALITY OF LIFE In 2013, Marion County s percentage of adults who reported good to excellent overall health (80.5%) is the same as Florida s. Furthermore, Marion County s percentage of adults who reported good to excellent overall health has increased since 2010 (from 77.1%) by a percent change 4.4% (Table 124, Technical Appendix). From 2010 to 2013, the percentage of adults reporting good to excellent overall health decreased in both Lake County (82.9% to 79.7%) and Sumter County (82.1% to 80.3%) by a change of 3.9% and 2.2%, respectively. As of 2013, both counties also had a lower percentage than Florida (80.5%) of adults reporting good to excellent overall health (Tables 123 and 125, Technical Appendix). From 2010 to 2013, the average number of days in Lake County, where residents reported poor mental or physical health interfering with daily activities, increased from 4.5 days to 6.4 days, a difference of 42.2%. The interference of with daily activities due to poor mental or physical health most likely reflects the slight decrease of adults in Lake County who report having good mental health (91.3% in 2010 to 89.7% in 2013) (Table 123, Technical Appendix). From 2010 to 2013, the number of unhealthy physical days reported in the past 30 days decreased in Lake County (4.4 days to 4.2 days, by a change of 4.5%) and Marion County (4.5 days to 4.0, by a change of 11.1%) but increased in Sumter County (3.2 days to 4.9 days, by a change of 53.1%). As of 2013, the number of unhealthy physical days reported in the past 30 days for the state of Florida (4.5 days) is greater than both Lake County and Marion County, but less than Sumter County (Tables , Technical Appendix). PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND NUTRITION In 2013, both Lake County (65.5%) and Marion County (63.8%) had higher percentages than Florida (62.8%) of adults who are overweight and obese by a difference of 4.3% and 1.6%, respectively (Tables , Technical Appendix). When compared to Florida (18.3%), Lake County (17.4%), Marion County (12.9%), and Sumter County (13.5%) had a lower percentage of adults who reported consuming at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day, a difference of 4.9%, 29.5%, and 26.2%, respectively (Tables , Technical Appendix). Moreover, the percentage of adults who are inactive or insufficiently active in Lake County (48.1%), Marion County (51.4%), and Sumter County (41.4%) are lower when compared to Florida (52.9%), a percent difference of 9.1%, 2.8%, and 21.7%, respectively (Tables , Technical Appendix). MATERNAL AND INFANT HEALTH As seen in Table 6, there were 4,481 births recorded in LRMC Service Area. During that time period, there were only 41 infant deaths, a rate of 9.1 per 1,000 live births in the LRMC Service Area, compared to a rate of 9.4 per 1,000 live births in CFH Service Area and 12.4 per 1,000 live births in Florida. The percentage of low birthweight births for the LRMC Service Area was 10.3%, compared to CFH Service Area at 10.7% and the state of Florida at 8.6%. Additionally, there is a substantially higher percentage of lower birthweight births among the Black population (16.3%) in LRMC Service Area, as well as in CFH Service Area (16.7%) and Florida (13.0%), compared to the White population (8.9%) in the LRMC Service Area, as well as in CFH Service Area (9.6%) and Florida (7.2) COMMUNITY HEALTH STATUS ASSESSMENT PAGE 15

(%) Source: Tables , Central Florida Health Technical Appendix 2015, prepared by WellFlorida Council In 2013, the number one cause of death in the LRMC Service Area, CFH Service Area, and Florida for the population 0-17 years of age was due to perinatal conditions; with a crude-rate (per 100,000 births) of 26.5, 29.9, and 17.0, respectively (Table 90, Technical Appendix). There is a disparity for infant death rates (per 1,000 live births) in the Black (11.6) population, when compared to the White (8.6) and Hispanic (6.7) populations (Table 109, Technical Appendix). MENTAL HEALTH Common mental health issues such as anxiety and depression are associated with a variety of other public health issues including substance abuse, domestic violence, and suicide. The following are key findings in regards to mental health for the LRMC Service Area: The crude suicide rate for the LRMC Service Area is higher than the state of Florida, but lower than the CFH Service Area (Table 86, Technical Appendix). The age-adjusted suicide rates for the LRMC Service Area are higher than the CFH Service Area and Florida (Table 86, Technical Appendix). Of the LRMC Service Area zip code area, Summerfield had the highest age-adjusted rate of 29.9 (per 100,000 population) of deaths from suicide from 2012 to 2014, compared to the CFH Service Area rate of 17.6 (per 100,000 population) and the Florida rate of 15.2 (per 100,000 population) (Table 86, Technical Appendix). There is insufficient data to determine if a racial or gender disparity exists. Since 2009, the rate of hospitalizations (per 1,000 population) for mental health reasons for all ages in Florida continues to remain greater than the LRMC Service Area and CFH Service Area, respectively (Table 100, Technical Appendix).

21 In Lake County, the percentage of adults reporting good mental health has decreased from 2010 to 2013 (91.3% to 89.7%), but remains greater than the current status of the state of Florida (87.3%) (Table 123, Technical Appendix). The rate (per 100,000 population) of domestic violence offenses in 2014 was much higher in Marion County (710.7) than Florida (546.8). The rate of Lake (496.8) and Sumter Counties (216.9) were each lower than Marion County and Florida (Table 105, Technical Appendix). As seen in Table 7, the two most common forms of domestic violence in all three (3) counties within the LRMC Service Area included Simple Assault (an unlawful intentional threat towards another person in order to create a well-founded fear of imminent violence or harm) and Aggravated Assault (an unlawful intention of inflicting sever or aggravated bodily injury). The rates of domestic violence offenses for Sumter County may appear low, as the population that resides in Sumter County is substantially lower compared to Lake County and Marion County, respectively.

Lastly, the percentage of adults who had their teeth cleaned in the past year in Lake County is greater than Marion County, Sumter County, and Florida, respectively.

TOTAL NUMBER AND RATE PER 100,000 POPULATION FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE OFFENSES BY TYPE, CENTRAL FLORIDA HEALTH COUNTIES AND FLORIDA, 2014 Indicator Lake County Measure Marion County Measure Sumter County Measure Florida Measure Dental Care Percentage of adults who visited a dentist or a dental clinic in the past year Percentage of adults who had permanent tooth removed because of tooth decay or gum disease Percentage of adults who had their teeth cleaned in the past year Source: Table , Central Florida Health Technical Appendix 2015, prepared by WellFlorida Council Access to dental care by low-income persons living below poverty is greatest in Lake County (22.9), compared to Florida (24.9). Although access to care is better in Marion and Sumter Counties, the rate of dentists per 100,000 is greater in Lake County (49.8) than in Marion (37.3) and Sumter Counties (29.6); this is suggestive of the need for an increase in the accessibility to dentists in the LRMC Service Area. HEALTHCARE ACCESS AND UTILIZATION Although health insurance and access to healthcare do not necessarily prevent illness, early intervention and long-term management resources can help to maintain a quality of life and minimize premature death. It is therefore useful to consider insurance coverage and healthcare access in a community health needs assessment. The Central Florida Health Technical Appendix includes data on insurance coverage, Medicaid eligibility, and healthcare expenditures by payor source. Key findings from these data sets are presented in sections below according to the focus. SHORTAGE AREAS Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSA) are defined as a geographic area, population group or facility designated by Health Resources and Services Administration as having shortages of primary medical care, dental or mental health providers. A HPSA may be a geographic area such as a county or service area; represent a specific demographic, such as low income population, or are a designated institution such as a Federally Qualified Health Center. The score of shortage areas is calculated using the following four key factors: Population-to-Primary Care Physician Ratio, Percent of Population with Incomes below 100% of the Poverty Level, Infant Mortality Rate or Low Birth Weight Rate (depending on which score is higher), and COMMUNITY HEALTH STATUS ASSESSMENT PAGE 18

23 Travel Time or Distance to nearest available source of care (also, depending on which score is higher). The scores range from 0 to 26, where the higher the score the greater the priority. The dental HPSA s for Lake County, Marion County and Sumter County include three (3) population groups, six (6) correctional facilities, two (2) comprehensive health centers, three (3) single counties, a rural health center, and one Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). The type of HPSA with the greatest priority for all three (3) counties is the FQHC GCHN-Umatilla Health Clinic (with a score of 20) followed by the Thomas Langley Medical Center and Low Income (with a score of 13), both of which are located in Sumter County (Table 136, Technical Appendix). The mental health HPSA s for Lake, Marion and Sumter Counties include three (3) population groups, five (5) correctional facilities, two (2) comprehensive health centers, two (2) single counties, a rural health center, and a FQHC. The type of HPSA with the greatest priority is the Northwest Florida Reception Center, serving as a correctional facility located in Sumter County, which had a score of 21 (Table 136, Technical Appendix). The primary care HPSA s for Lake, Marion and Sumter Counties include three (3) population groups, six (6) correctional facilities, two (2) comprehensive health centers, three (3) single counties, three (3) rural health centers, and a FQHC. The type of HPSA with the greatest priority Northwest Florida Reception Center, serving as a correctional facility located in Sumter County, which had a score of 21 (Table 136, Technical Appendix). As seen in Table 9, the total rate of hospital beds available (per 100,000 population) is greatest in Marion County (249.1) and Lake County (242.0), with a slightly lower availability in Sumter County (237.6), a percent difference of 21.5% (Marion County), 23.7% (Lake County), and 25.1% (Sumter County) compared to Florida s rate (317.3) (Table 141, Technical Appendix).
