Ministry Overview
Provena Health and Resurrection Health Care merged on November 1, 2011 to form a new
health system, Presence Health, creating a comprehensive family of not-for-profit health care
services and the single largest Catholic health system in Illinois. Presence Health embodies the
act of being present in every moment we share with those we serve and is the cornerstone of a
patient, resident and family-centered care environment. “Presence” Health embodies the way
we choose to be present in our communities, as well as with one another and those we serve.
Presence Health is sponsored by five congregations of Catholic religious women: the
Franciscan Sisters of the Sacred Heart, the Servants of the Holy Heart of Mary, the Sisters of
the Holy Family of Nazareth, Sisters of Mercy of the Americas and the Sisters of the
Resurrection.
Our Mission guides all of our work: Inspired by the healing ministry of Jesus Christ, we
Presence Health, a Catholic health system, provide compassionate, holistic care with a spirit of
healing and hope in the communities we serve.
Building on the faith and heritage of our founding religious congregations, we commit ourselves
to these values that flow from our mission and our identity as a Catholic health care ministry:
 Honesty: The value of Honesty instills in us the courage to always speak the truth, to act
in ways consistent with our Mission and Values and to choose to do the right thing.
 Oneness: The value of Oneness inspires us to recognize that we are interdependent,
interrelated and interconnected with each other and all those we are called to serve.
 People: The value of People encourages us to honor the diversity and dignity of each
individual as a person created and loved by God, bestowed with unique and personal
gifts and blessings, and an inherently sacred and valuable member of the community.
 Excellence: The value of Excellence empowers us to always strive for exceptional
performance as we work individually and collectively to best serve those in need.

Identification of Community Needs
Process Used to Identify Community Needs
Every five years, local health departments in Illinois must complete a community needs
assessment and health plan as a requirement for recertification with the Illinois Department of
Public Health (IDPH). This process is known as Illinois Project for Local Assessment of Need,
(IPLAN). For the 2010 assessment and planning process, the Will County Health Department
used the Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP) process as an
equivalent for IPLAN. In June 2008, the Will County Health Department and Presence
Saint Joseph Medical Center partnered to facilitate the MAPP process.
MAPP is a process that provides a comprehensive framework for assessing community needs,
and developing and addressing strategic issues. The purpose of the Will County MAPP process
is to provide a community plan that is developed by and for the community. The benefits of Will
County engaging in this process include:
• A healthier community that improves the quality of life for the people who live and work
in it.
• Increased visibility of public health in the community.
• Increased awareness and knowledge about public health issues.
• Preparation of our local public health system to better anticipate, manage and respond
to changes in the county.
• Greater collaboration and sharing of resources
among partners.
• Reflection of priorities in hospital
implementation strategies.
MAPP has six phases. The first five phases were
completed over twenty-two months. Phase six, the
action cycle, is an ongoing process of planning,
implementing and evaluating. Will County is currently in
phase six of the process.
Phase 1: Organizing for Success
The Will County Health Department and PSJMC
identified staff that would co‐lead the MAPP Project. Staff attended MAPP training in May 2008.
Several meetings were held between June and October 2008 to plan the process, identify
potential partners for the MAPP Steering Committee and to identify resources needed to carry
out MAPP.
A core group of partners met in October 2008 to review the MAPP process, the benefits of
engaging in MAPP and the initial list of potential partners to participate on the MAPP Steering
Committee. Additional partners were identified and invited to participate. In January 2009, the
MAPP Steering Committee was initiated with a broad cross‐section of participants comprising
the 25‐member Steering Committee that guided the overall MAPP process.

Identification of Community Needs
Phase 2: Visioning
During February and March 2009, a survey was developed and distributed among Steering
Committee member organizations to solicit input from consumers on what defined a healthy
community. Fifty‐eight surveys were returned and the results were incorporated into the
visioning process held with MAPP Steering Committee members in April 2009. Additionally, two
focus groups were held with survey respondents to field test the vision statement prior to the
MAPP Steering Committee’s adoption of the following vision:
Will County Vision
In Will County, every life has value. All individuals have the opportunity to realize their full potential and to achieve the highest quality of life. We are a community rich in diversity,
where involvement and commitment have deep roots among our residents.
We strive to be a progressive community that maximizes the use of community partnerships and collaboration among all sectors to ensure, enhance and promote comprehensive, quality and equitable education, healthcare and social services.
Phase 3: Conducting Four MAPP Assessments
Four separate assessments were conducted during this phase of the MAPP process between
June 2009 and March 2010. Assessment subcommittees were established with members of the
MAPP Steering Committee serving as chairs to oversee the groups.
Local Public Health System Assessment (LPHSA)
Over 100 public health system partners were invited to participate in the Will County Public
Health System forum held in September 2009 at New Life Church in New Lenox. Approximately
70 partners participated in assessing how well the Will County public health system provides the
ten Essential Public Health Services (EPHS) in Will County.
The highest ranking service was EPHS 2: diagnose and investigate health problems and health
hazards. This essential service includes:
• Epidemiologic investigation of disease outbreaks and patterns of infectious and chronic
diseases, environmental hazards, and other health threats
• Active infectious disease and epidemiology programs
• Access to a public health laboratory capable of conducting rapid screening and high
volume testing

Identification of Community Needs
The lowest ranking service was EPHS 7: link people to personal health services. This essential
service includes:
• Identifying populations with barriers to personal health services
• Identifying personal health service needs of populations with limited access to a
coordinated system of clinical care
• Assuring the linkage of people to appropriate personal health services through
coordination of provider services and development of interventions that address barriers
to care (e.g. culturally and linguistically appropriate staff and materials transportation
services)

Community Themes and Strengths Assessment (CTSA)
Three separate methods of data collection were used in conducting the CTSA: a community
survey, focus groups and photovoice. In a county-wide random sample, 5,000 residents were
mailed a community survey between October and December 2009. The survey was 10 pages in
length and took about 20 minutes to complete. It asked questions about residents’ perceptions
on the quality of life in Will County. There were 485 respondents.
After survey results were collected, the MAPP Steering Committee realized that the survey
respondents did not reflect the demographics of Will County. In order to obtain the perspective
of residents underrepresented in the survey, ten targeted focus groups were held from January
through March 2010 to get a broader perspective from those who did not complete the survey.
Over 100 participants gave their input on strengths and assets of their community and their
perception about the quality of life in Will County through these focus groups.

2013 - 2016 Implementation Strategy

Identification of Community Needs
Photovoice was the third method used for data collection. Photovoice is a technique that
enables community residents of all ages and languages to share information about their
communities through pictures. Five residents responded by submitting photos of their
community.
Many crosscutting themes were identified across the community survey, focus groups and
photovoice project:
• Communication – There is a need for better communication of the resources and
availability of programs and services in the county. Some residents are aware of
programs and services available to them in the county, but many are not aware of these
existing services. Better communication would alleviate this issue.
• Equity/Accessibility – Sometimes people are aware of services, however, these
services are not always accessible to them. Transportation and affordability were the two
issues that arose most often concerning accessibility. Equity was another cross-cutting
theme throughout the reports. Not all communities have the same quality of services
available to them.
• Youth – Youth involvement in the community provides an opportunity for developing
mentoring programs and leadership. There is a disconnect between adult perception of
resources and program availability for youth and how the youth view access to these
services themselves.
• Building Relationships – Collaborations with organizations and leveraging existing
resources is important to not only the residents of the community, but also to the service
providers. More sharing of information and resources is important to improve the quality
of life in Will County.
Community Health Status Assessment (CHSA)
The CHSA committee comprised of MAPP Steering Committee members, data and planning
staff from the three local hospitals and the health department’s epidemiologist. The assessment
initiated in June 2009 and was completed in March 2010. This team reviewed key health
indicators and the health department’s epidemiologist analyzed the data gathered to provide
insight into the trends and top issues.
Forces of Change Assessment (FOCA)
The FOCA was completed in March 2010 with 30 participants, consisting of MAPP Steering
Committee members and other community leaders. Factors and trends most impacting Will
County includes the current economy with rising unemployment, loss of services and programs,
and increased need for mental health services.
Additional forces of change noted that are reflective of many issues on the national agenda. For
example, health care reform, immigration reform, regulation of medical malpractice, use and
overuse of technology, and need for sustainable energy resources are issues being considered
on the national level, but they would also have an impact on local and state health care and
social service delivery systems.

Identification of Community Needs
Phase 4: Identifying Strategic Issues
In May 2010, the Illinois Public Health Institute (IPHI) facilitated a half‐day strategic issues
session. Participants consisted of the MAPP Steering Committee members, committee
members from each assessment and additional community leaders. Approximately 25
participants attended the strategic issues session. Data points were drawn from each of the four
assessments and reviewed with the group. Brainstorming and nominal voting processes were
used to identify and prioritize issues and problems that were cross-cutting throughout the
assessments. Small group discussion further explored the problems to determine if they met the
criteria for strategic issues. Additional community involvement in this phase was solicited via an
online survey to assist in identifying priorities. Community partners participating in the LPHSA,
in addition to all committee members, were e-mailed an invitation to participate in the online
survey, with 50 partners responding.
During this strategic planning session, the following priorities were identified for Will County over
the next five years are:
• Access to primary and specialty health care
• Awareness of services
• Behavioral health and substance use disorders
• Prevention and management of chronic care issues
• Youth services
Phase 5: Formulating Goals and Strategies
All partners participating in the survey to identify and prioritize strategic issues were given the
opportunity to sign up for participation in the planning and implementation phases of the
process. Additionally, they were asked to recommend other members of their organizations or
community they felt would be appropriate for the planning committees. Based on self‐identified
interests; members participated in workgroups to set goals, objectives and strategies for the
identified priorities.
The work groups met in June and August 2010 to complete the strategic plan. The following
goals were developed for the identified strategic issues.
Access to Primary and Specialty Health Care
• Increase access to primary and specialty health care for the under-insured and
uninsured populations of Will County.
• Increase access to age-based and culturally competent behavioral health and substance
abuse related services.
Awareness of Services
• Keep Will County residents informed about services available to promote health,
wellness, and safety.
• Increase Will County residents’ understanding of the importance of having a primary
care provider/ health care home.
• Reduce the stigma related to behavioral health and substance use disorders.

Identification of Community Needs
Prevention and Management of Chronic Care Issues
• Reduce the number of chronic care illnesses in Will County.
• Increase the awareness of Will County residents on the signs and symptoms of chronic
illnesses.
• Decrease obesity among Will County youth.
Systems Collaboration and Linkage
• Increase cohesiveness amongst systems across Will County that impact youth and their
families to ensure that youth receive the necessary services throughout all stages of
development.
Phase 6: Action Cycle
Planning, implementation and evaluation of the strategic plan are the key components to this
phase of the MAPP process. After the goals, objectives and strategies were completed, the
work groups continued to meet and transitioned into action teams. Four action teams were
identified to address the strategic priorities. There was some additional grouping of issues
based on overlapping strategies; however, the goals and objectives for each priority were
maintained.
• Access to Care – addresses issues of access to primary and specialty healthcare,
behavioral health and substance use disorders.
• Awareness of Services – addresses communication gaps between organizations and
residents and communication gaps between providers. Health promotion and health
education not related to the other priorities will also be addressed in this priority area.
• Systems Collaboration and Linkages – addresses linkages of services, particularly
among youth in Will County, ages 0‐18. This action team will look at continuity of
services as youth move along the developmental stages. How the Will County public
health system works together to collaborate and link individuals to needed services will
also be addressed with this team.
• Prevention and Management of Chronic Care Issues – addresses the prevention and
management of certain chronic care conditions including: asthma, diabetes, obesity,
heart disease and their many risk factors.
Additionally, a Monitoring and Evaluation team is being developed to provide ongoing data
collection, assessment, monitoring and evaluation of the strategic plan.
As the MAPP Project moved into to the action cycle, the MAPP Steering Committee identified
the need to continue the momentum and the process. The MAPP Steering Committee was
initially formed to oversee the MAPP planning process. After submission of the plan to the
Illinois Department of Public Health, the MAPP Steering Committee formed a transition team to
define the future structure of the MAPP Collaborative. The MAPP Steering Committee became
the MAPP Executive Committee and bylaws were developed to set guidelines for the future of
the MAPP Collaborative.

Identification of Community Needs
Results of the 2012 Needs Assessment
Based on the MAPP CHNA, the top identified needs in Will County are:

Access to care (primary, specialty, behavioral health, substance use disorders)

Awareness of services and how to access them

Collaboration and linkage within systems

Prevention and management of chronic care issues
Although some needs are the same as they were in 2006 (access to care and chronic care
issues), there are also additional areas that were identified through the MAPP process that are
of concern to community residents (awareness of services and collaboration/linkage among the
public health system).
PSJMC’s review of current community benefit programs found that the medical center is
meeting community needs through:
 Addressing access to care issues (primary, specialty, behavioral health and substance
use disorders) through Mental Health First Aid and mobile health units.
 Developing a federally-qualified health center (FQHC) outside of our Emergency
Department to increase access to primary care services.
 Expanding and enhancing the existing Healthy Kids Club initiative targeting childhood
obesity, as well as expanding the Joliet Partners for Healthy Families (JPHF) into all
community sectors.
 Working with the MAPP Systems Collaboration and Linkages (SCL) Action Team with
the goal of increasing cohesiveness amongst systems in Will County.
PSJMC will partner with Will County organizations to address other needs in the community as
feasible. PVF and PHC will work specifically with the MAPP Prevention and Management of
Chronic Care Issues Action Team to address respiratory issues in the county].
Will County Community
2013 - 2016 Implementation Strategy
14
Identifying Community Priorities
PSJMC, PVF and PHC recognize that priority setting is a critically important step in the
community benefit planning process. Decisions around priorities have a pivotal impact upon the
effectiveness and sustainability of the endeavor. PSJMC, PVF, and PHC worked with the Will
County MAPP Collaborative to identify priority issues for the county.
Description and Purpose
MAPP defines strategic issues as “those fundamental policy choices or critical challenges that
must be addressed in order for a community to achieve its vision.” During this phase of the
MAPP process, participants developed an ordered list of the most important issues facing the
community. Strategic issues were identified by reviewing the results of the four MAPP
assessments, identifying recurring themes, issues and ideas, and determining how those issues
affect the achievement of the shared vision of Will County. This process is necessary in setting
priorities and for future goal setting for the Community Health Plan.
Community Involvement
The community was engaged in the strategic issues phase on several levels. The MAPP
Steering Committee, assessment committees and invited community members participated in
an all-day planning session to review data, identify issues and develop a prioritized list of issues
and health problems.
Broader community participation was sought via a brief online survey where they were given the
list of potential strategic issues and asked to rank them. Thirty partners attended the all-day
strategic issues session. Fifty partners participated in the online survey.
Process
On May 17, 2010, the Will County MAPP Steering Committee, assessment committee and other
invited community members, engaged in an all-day strategic issues planning session, facilitated
by the IPHI. Approximately thirty people participated.
Prior to the meeting, participants were sent meeting packages with the defined criteria to identify
a strategic issue as well as an e-mail link to access the reports online to review and identify any
issues, needs or themes across the four assessments.
MAPP staff presented an overview of the data and provided data points from each assessment
for review. Aunt Martha’s Youth Service Center presented data and information on their
upcoming FQHC being built in Will County.
A large group discussion followed, allowing participants the opportunity to identify and discuss
any cross-cutting themes or issues emerging from the assessment results. Some grouping of
similar issues occurred. A list of potential strategic issues was developed followed by using a
nominal voting process to narrow the potential strategic issues for discussion in smaller
breakout groups.
Will County Community
2013 - 2016 Implementation Strategy
15
Identifying Community Priorities
Participants’ self-assigned to groups based on their interest and knowledge of the strategic
issue. The task for the groups was to review the data and potential strategic issues to determine
if it was strategic. Each group was given a strategic issues worksheet and relationship diagram
to guide and record their discussion. Copies of the assessment data points and hard copies of
the assessments were made available to each team.
The following criterion was used:
• Issue is grounded in data from the MAPP assessments
• Issue is forward-thinking
• Issue is cross-cutting
• Issue seizes on current opportunities
• Issue represents a fundamental choice to be made at the highest levels of the
community and local public health system
• Issue centers on a tension or conflict to be resolved
• Issue may have no obvious solution
• Issue is something the public health system can address
• Issue requires multi-sector, collaborative approach
The small groups reported out to the larger group to review the findings. Using the nominal
group process, the participants identified the top five priorities.
A three-question survey was developed to validate the prioritization and to gain additional input
from public health system partners. Using an online survey, all assessment committee
members, MAPP Steering Committee members and partners attending the LPHSA were invited
to participate in the identification and prioritization of strategic issues.
The MAPP Steering Committee decided to use the full list of potential issues in the community
survey in order to ensure the group had captured the priorities of the community.

The rankings from the strategic issues meeting and the two survey questions were listed in rank
order under their respective categories. Staff identified the strategic issues listed in all three
categories. The top five issues were identified as the priority issues to address. The MAPP
Steering Committee gave final approval of the strategic issues.
Summary of Key Findings
Fourteen potential strategic issues were identified during the large group brainstorming session
(see page 14.) Following the group discussions and second voting, the participants identified
the following five strategic issues:
• Access to quality primary and specialty care for the uninsured and under-insured
• Awareness of services and how to access them
• Chronic care management
• Mental health/behavioral health
• Youth services
Comparison of meeting prioritization and survey results yielded the same priorities.

Development of the Implementation Strategy
PSJMC, PVF and PHC’s CHNA Implementation Strategy was developed based on the findings
and priorities established by the Will County MAPP CHNA and a review of the hospital’s existing
community benefit activities. PSJMC co-facilitated the MAPP CHNA process with the Will
County Health Department and was involved not only in the initial planning of how to assess the
county but also organized the community assessments and helped develop the action teams
working on implementation. Other partners involved in the Will County MAPP Collaborative are
listed in Appendix A (see page 27).
The local hospitals and the health department financially contributed to the MAPP CHNA, while
other community partners provided in-kind support through their time in serving on the
Executive Committee and MAPP Action Teams, as well as by providing meeting space, printing
and other resources as needed. The Will County MAPP Collaborative has grown in size during
the implementation phase. New partners were added who had expertise in the respective action
teams. Their insight is crucial to move the work of the action teams forward to improve the
quality of life for Will County residents.
After consolidating overlapping issues identified in the MAPP CHNA, the top identified needs in
Will County are:
• Access to care (primary, specialty, behavioral health, substance use disorders)
• Awareness of services and how to access them
• Collaboration and linkage within systems
• Prevention and management of chronic care issues
For 2013, PSJMC will continue to serve on the MAPP Executive Committee and MAPP Action
Teams to address the identified needs in Will County within the next three to five years. Our
overall focus will be on:

PARTNERSHIP WITH THE WILL-GRUNDY MEDICAL CLINIC (WGMC) & AUNT MARTHA’S YOUTH SERVICES CENTER
Program Description
PSJMC has budgeted $35,000 to donate to the Will-Grundy Medical Clinic in 2013. In addition to this donation, PSJMC will continue
to provide clinical staff volunteers, and will contribute free services and leadership through service on WGMC’s board of directors.
PSJMC will also continue to accept patients from Will-Grundy Medical Clinic for surgical procedures and related services to provide
better access to care, particularly specialty care. In December 2012, an Aunt Martha’s Federally Qualified Healthcare Center
(FQHC) was opened adjacent to our Emergency Department. PSJMC is providing rental space to the FQHC for $1 per year.
Community Need: Access to Care
Aim Statement: The WGMC is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization that provides free medical and dental care to adults who have no health insurance or
medical care entitlements and meet prescribed income guidelines. Care is provided by physicians, dentists and other professionals who volunteer their time and
expertise to WGMC. Aunt Martha's Youth Service Center's is a non-for-profit 501c3 organization that provides an array of social services that offer a safe haven
for youth in crisis and empower them to succeed and high quality and accessible healthcare for the whole family regardless of the ability to pay.

JOLIET PARTNERS FOR HEALTHY FAMILIES (JPHF) COALITION
Program Description
In 2007, PSJMC created the JPHF coalition to help combat childhood obesity in Will County. The partnership includes the Joliet
Public School District 86, the Joliet Park District, Greater Joliet Area YMCA, Harvey Brooks Foundation, University of St. Francis, the
University of Illinois Extension and the Will County Health Department. The mission of JPHF is to enhance the quality of life and
improve the overall health and wellness of our community for people of all ages, abilities and diverse backgrounds.
In keeping with its mission, PSJMC identified vulnerable populations to target with its Healthy Kids Club
initiative. The target areas that PSJMC serves have disproportionate unmet health-related needs (DUHN).
In Joliet Public Schools District 86, 70% of the student population is at poverty level with a diverse mix of
students:
• Hispanic: 48%
• African American: 29%
• Caucasian: 16%
• Other: 7%
JPHF expanded in 2012 to include the Rockdale School District, whose student population is 80% at or
below poverty level, as well as the Harvey Brooks Foundation where after-school care is offered to students from underserved areas.
JPHF has been innovative in its collaboration and approaches to childhood obesity by creating the Healthy Kids Club. This initiative
focuses on educating students and families about the importance of balanced nutrition and regular
physical activity through three unique, after-school programs: Camp Fitness, Kids 'n Nature Adventure
and Smith Opportunities for Activities and Recreation (SOAR).
Camp Fitness
The Camp Fitness program works with 3rd grade students within Joliet School District 86 and Rockdale
School District to promote access to play by encouraging exercise and modified eating habits through
after-school programming. The program includes 40 minutes of physical activity and 20 minutes of
nutrition education. It also includes parent workshops and family events such as the Worldwide Day of
Play and Family Wellness Fair to encourage families to get active and eat healthier. Upon completion of
the Camp Fitness program, students receive many items such as healthy snacks and tennis shoes to
encourage them to stay active and eat healthier. This program has increased in size for the 2012/2013
Will County Community

school year and now accommodates over 500 students, including a summer component.
Kids ‘n Nature Adventure
Kids ‘n Nature teaches fourth-graders how to grow and cultivate gardens while exposing students
to play behaviors in nature at Pilcher Park Nature Center in Joliet. A naturalist and master
gardener teach the students about nature and how to play in nature through exploration. Nutrition
and physical activity through gardening and hiking 40 minutes are incorporated into each day’s
activities. Children develop skills for growing and preparing fresh foods and engaging in physical
activity that will promote lifelong healthy behaviors. During the 2012/2013 school year, Kids ‘n
Nature had 185 participants enrolled, an expansion from the previous year.
Smith Opportunities for Activities and Recreation (SOAR)
The SOAR program targets fifth grade students within District 86 and Rockdale School District.
SOAR provides a half hour of swim instruction, followed by a half hour of nutrition education and
exercise in the gym at the Smith YMCA. Free transportation is provided to and from the program
for all participants. For the 2012/2013 school year, SOAR had 85 students in its first session, with
80 signed up for the second session.
The goal of expanding and developing new partnerships and programs within the Healthy Kids
Club initiative is to provide continuity so students from third through fifth grade will have the opportunity to participate in physical
activity and will receive proper nutrition education. With this linkage comes the opportunity to measure impact over time. More
detailed information on the programs is listed below.
Commit to Be Fit Contest
In 2013, The JPHF coalition started a three month physical activity contest with the purpose of encouraging
Will County students to incorporate more physical activity into their daily lives. Similar to reading contests
within the schools, the Commit to Be Fit Contest was offered to all Will County students. Students
“committed” to the program by signing up and tracking their daily physical activity. They did this manually on
forms distributed by their teachers or online on the Will County Regional Office of Education’s website. All
participants in the program received a free daily pass to be used at one of several county agencies (i.e.

Program Description
In 2013, The Will County Chronic Care Collaborative was formed to address a targeted chronic care need in Will County that will
assist the underserved with managing their illness. PSJMC, PVLF & PHH have allocated staff time to assist with this initiative.
Additional partners include the Franciscan Communities in both Lemont & Homer Glen. In 2013, the group identified the Will-Grundy
Medical Clinic as agency to partner with to provide assistance to their clients.
In addition, PSJMC, PVF & PHC will continue to meet community needs by providing charity care, Medicaid and State Health
Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) services.
Community Need: Chronic Care
Aim Statement: The goal is to participate with the Will-Grundy Free Clinic QI project. Focus is on reducing readmissions of their clients to hospitals/ER’s by
