3 Executive Summary St. Jude Medical Center s community benefit service area and St. Jude Heritage Healthcare s integrated medical practice foundation includes the following cities of North Orange County: Fullerton, Brea, Placentia, Buena Park, La Habra and Yorba Linda. This service area with a population of 409,383 represents communities of wealth, pockets of poverty and middle class areas. While the average household income in the service area is almost $66,000, there are several neighborhoods where the household income is half of the average. The SJMC service area is ethnically diverse with Hispanics comprising almost 30% of the population and Asian-Pacific Islanders slightly less than 15%. In some neighborhoods the majority of the community is Hispanic and Spanish is the primary language. St. Jude Medical Center s community benefit programs focus on neighborhoods that are lower in income and more ethnically diverse (DUHN Disproportionate Unmet Health Need neighborhoods). Major needs identified in FY 09 FY 11 Community Benefit Plan include: 1) lack of access to medical and dental care, 2) higher rates of childhood obesity, 3) higher rates of inappropriate use of Emergency Department for conditions that could be treated in alternative settings. 3

4 A. Community Profile SJMC s community needs assessment and plan includes most of our primary service area (Brea, Fullerton, La Habra, Placentia and Yorba Linda) and Buena Park which is in our secondary service area. The socio-demographic characteristics of these communities include: Median HH Income City Population % White % Hispanic % API % Black HH Size Brea 35, % 20.3% 9.3% 1.3% 2.7 $59, % Buena 78, % 33.5% 21.6% 3.8% 3.32 $50, % Park % below FPL Fullerton 126, % 30.2% 16.3% 2.3% 3.0 $62, % La Habra 58, % 49.0% 6.1% 1.6% 3.08 $47, % Placentia 46, % 31.1% 12.2% 1.8% 3.07 $62, % Yorba 64, % 10.2% 16.4% 1.9% 3.1 $121, % Linda Total 409, % 29.6% 14.7% 2.3% 3.05 $65, % The racial break-down is less than 100% due to the high percentage of individuals who indicated they were other races in the 2000 United States Census. This might include individuals who marked themselves as more than one race. The data shows that there are wide disparities in ethnic and economic indicators within the service area. La Habra is the city with the lowest income and the greatest ethnic diversity while Yorba Linda has the highest income and least ethnic diversity. Within each city except Yorba Linda there are neighborhoods that have a high percentage of populations with disproportionate unmet health needs. The map below outlines these neighborhoods which are red (highest need) and pink (high need): 4

5 Key Indicators of High Need The table below identifies some of the key indicators for the highest need areas in each city and compares it with the county-wide data as based on the most recent United States Census Data: City Fullerton Brea La Habra Placentia Buena Park Orange Cty Indicators Total Population 17,183 3,388 9,428 12,326 19,721 3, Average Household Size Unemployment Rate ,4% Average Household Income $50,557 $63,964 $52,658 $56,492 $50,190 $70,232 Percent of Households Below FPL (19,999) n/a % Children Living Below Poverty n/a % Families Living Below Poverty % B. Community Needs and Assets Assessment Process The process followed in conducting the needs and assets assessment included the following: Orange County Health Needs Assessment 2007 Survey Orange County Health Care Agency Secondary Data UCI Círculos de Acción Orange County Needs Assessment (OCHNA) Survey The Orange County Health Needs Assessment (OCHNA) is a random telephone based survey of 5,000 households in Orange County that was conducted in the Fall, The survey utilized the Center for Disease Control s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System as the core module with additional questions developed by the OCHNA Steering Committee. The primary quantitative data collected in the Orange County Health Care Agency includes mortality and morbidity data by zip code. This data was obtained from death certificates. The key findings of the Orange County Health Needs Assessment Report demonstrate health care disparities based on income and ethnicity. Following are the key findings: The percentage of uninsured children in our service area has declined from 7.7% in 2001 to 3.5% in ,000 persons are uninsured in our service area. 39.7% of low income adults (annual income under $25,000) lacked health insurance as compared with 1.6% of higher income adults. 5

6 21% of low income adults self-rate their health as fair or poor as compared to 2% of higher income adults % of the total population surveyed and 60.4% of low income persons lack dental insurance. 36% of low income adults reported missing work because of untreated dental problems. 8.5% of Caucasians are smokers as compared to 0.2% of Hispanics. 25.4% of the total population are obese while 36.6% of Hispanics are obese, 75% of low income persons are obese. 52.5% of children living in low income families are obese as compared to 11.1% of children living in higher income families. Focus Groups St. Jude Medical Center also partnered with the University Of California Irvine, School of Social Ecology graduate students to conduct a series of focus groups in the Valencia neighborhood. These focus groups provided an opportunity to engage the residents in identifying the assets and challenges in their community. Orange County Health Care Agency The Orange County Health Care Agency provides the most recent morbidity and mortality data available for the State of California. The available data is primarily from 2005 and 2006 which was before the opening of the St. Jude Neighborhood Health Center. Zip codes exhibiting among the highest rates of morbidity and mortality in Orange County include: Fullerton (92835): Heart disease, Lung Cancer, Breast Cancer, Prostate Cancer, Alzheimer s, Influenza/Pneumonia Fullerton (92832): Infant mortality, Births to adolescent mothers, Late/No/Inadequate prenatal care, Heart disease Fullerton (92833): Diabetes Placentia (92870): Infant mortality La Habra (90631): Inadequate prenatal care Buena Park (90621): Late/no/inadequate prenatal care, Births to adolescent mothers Zip code is the area where St. Jude Medical Center is located. The high mortality rates may be a result of the high number of frail elderly in local skilled nursing facilities. This zip code has a population 65 and over that is twice the county rate. The mortality rate in zip code is four-times the county rate and the second highest in the County. The Medical Center partnered with UCI Community Scholars Program to conduct Circulos de Acción in the Richman neighborhood of Fullerton. The Circulos de Acción are serial reflexive dialogues that target community activists. Top health priorities from these groups were childhood obesity, and enhancing access to medical and dental 6

7 services. The residents were particularly concerned about the high rate of childhood obesity, the school meal program and the need for safe places for children to play. C. Identification and Selection of DUHN Communities The following DUHN communities have been identified in our community health needs and asset assessment: Low income geographic neighborhoods South Fullerton, Central La Habra, West Placentia and East Buena Park. Low-income Latino population Adults lacking health insurance Adults and children lacking dental insurance Overweight and obese children Persons utilizing the Medical Center Emergency Department inappropriately Homeless Chronically mentally ill and substance abusers Frail low-income seniors Alienated youth Victims of domestic violence and abuse St. Jude Medical Center s Community Benefit Committee reviewed and prioritized the aforementioned communities which are the focus of SJMC s FY 09 FY 11 Community Benefit Plan, listed below.
