ST JOSEPH'S MINISTRIES INC

ST. JOSEPH'S PLACE (SJP) IS A SKILLED NURSING FACILITY (SNF). OUR SNF, INSPIRED BY THE HEALING MISSION OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TO THE ELDERLY, PROVIDES A CONTINUUM OF CARE TO RESIDENTS THAT MAXIMIZES DIGNITY AND INDEPENDENCE ROOTED IN THE CATHOLIC TRADITION OF CARING, AS A CORPORATE MEMBER OF ASCENSION HEALTH SENIOR CARE, OUR COMMUNITY IS CONTINUALLY DEVELOPING AND ADOPTING NEW BEST PRACTICES IN CARE THAT ENHANCE THE EXPERIENCE OF OUR RESIDENTS, PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS AND PATIENTS. WE OPERATE A SKILLED NURSING FACILITY THAT SERVES A POPULATION WHO ARE FINANCIALLY AT RISK AND ARE BENEFICIARIES OF THE MARYLAND MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. ALTHOUGH REIMBURSEMENT FOR SERVICES RENDERED IS CRITICAL TO THE OPERATION AND STABILITY FOR THE CONTINUUM OF SERVICES, AS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION, IT IS RECOGNIZED THAT NOT ALL PERSONS SERVED POSSESS THE ABILITY TO PURCHASE ESSENTIAL SERVICES NEEDED FOR CARE AND PART OF OUR MISSION IS TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY WITH RESPECT TO PROVIDING HEALTH CARE SERVICES. IN 2022, $39,138 OF UNREIMBURSED COST OF PUBLIC PROGRAMS WAS PROVIDED. COMMUNITY BENEFIT SERVICES PROGRAMS, ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS WERE PROVIDED SUCH AS COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SERVICES, SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES, AND OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFIT OPERATIONS SERVING THE POOR OR VULNERALBE OF $668. DUE TO COVID RESTRICTIONS, AND THE CLOSING OF SJP, THERE WAS A DECREASE FROM OTHER YEARS. PROGRAMS, SERVICES, ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS THAT IMPROVE ACCESS, RESPOND TO THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY, AND ADVANCE MEDICAL OR HEALTH CARE KNOWLEDGE WERE INVESTED IN THE BROADER COMMUNITY OF $1,932. FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2022, 32% OF OUR RESIDENTS RECEIVED MEDICAID AS A PAYOR SOURCE . APPROXIMATELY $15,643 OF CHARITY CARE WAS ALSO PROVIDED. AS PART OF THE ASCENSION CATHOLIC HEALTH MINISTRY, THE FILING ORGANIZATION SERVED IN SUPPORT OF ASCENSION'S COMMITMENT TO BOTH CARE FOR PATIENTS AND COMMUNITIES AND SUPPORT CAREGIVERS AND OTHER ASSOCIATES THROUGH THE CHALLENGES OF THE COVID-19 GLOBAL PANDEMIC IN FY22.
