AS THE HOSPITAL FOCUSES ON LIFESTYLE, EDUCATION, PREVENTION AND ACCESS TO CARE ISSUES SURROUNDING ITS FOCUSED AREAS, POSITIVE OUTCOMES WILL LIKELY HAVE POSITIVE EFFECTS ON THE HEALTH NEEDS NOT ADDRESSED. TO HAVE THE GREATEST IMPACT, HOWEVER, THE HOSPITAL HAS CHOSEN TO FOCUS ON THE MOST SERIOUS DISEASES AND THE RELATED LIFESTYLE ISSUES FACING OUR COMMUNITY AS WELL AS INVESTING IN THE HEALTH OF NEWBORNS - THE MOST VULNERABLE RESIDENTS. 2 St Catherine Hospital Infusion Center Munster 801 MACARARTHUR BLVD SUITE 304 MUNSTER IN 46321 Outpatient Center St Catherine Hospital Infusion Center Hobart 1500 S Lake Park Ave Suite 428 Hobart IN 46342 Outpatient Center Schedule H, Part I, Line 3c FACTORS OTHER THAN FPG USED TO DETERMINE FAP ELIGIBILITY IN ADDITION TO FPG, THE CRITERIA OF ASSET LEVEL, MEDICAL INDIGENCY, INSURANCE STATUS, AND UNDERINSURANCE STATUS WERE USED IN DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY FOR FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE.
