A surplus of women's housing occurred because of the increased amount of women being allowed to live off-campus. With sufficient discussion and tours of the proposed modi- fications, the women who origi- nally expressed concern about the hall's atmosphere said the building changes "would satisfy, their complaints." 30YEARSAGO THIS WEEK 15 YEARSAGO THIS WEEK (MARCH 22,1983): (MARCH 23,1998): In a 40-15 vote, the faculty Senate Assembly agreed to amend its policies for non-clas- sified research. Changes to the policy includ- ed a prohibition on research in which the "substantial purpose is to destroy or permanently incapacitate human beings." The resolution amending the policy also asked Univer- sity administrators to appoint a committee to monitor research policies of individual col- leges and schools, which were encouraged to each create their specific policies based on their research activities. After almost a full season of being interim head coach of Michigan basketball, Athletic Director Tom Goss named Brian Ellerbe to full-time status, mak- ing him Michigan's 14th head coach. After a second-round loss in the NCAA tournament to UCLA, Goss said he talked with many other possibilities around the country, including Seton Hall's Tommy Amaker and Oklahoma's Kelvin Sampson. Goss said he decided on Ellerbe because he "showed us a lot over the past several weeks." - AUSTIN REED Newsroom 734-418-4115 opt.3 Corrections corrections@michigandaily.com Arts Section arts@nichigandaily.com SportsSection sports@michigandaily.com Display Sales dailydisplay@gmaitcom Online Sales dailydisplay@gmail.com News Tips news@michigandaily.com Letterstothe Editor tothedaily@michigandaily.com Editorial Page opinion@michigandaily.com Photography Sectin photo@michigandaiy.com Classified Sales dailydisplay@gmaiLcom Finance finance@michigandaily.com 01 RUBY WALLAU/Daily Jullien Gordon speaks about "Innerviews at the Ross Life and Leadership Conference Friday.

Get more online at michigandaily.com/blogs/The Wire Community benefits by UMHS rise 18 percent Hospital to continue assistance for those without coverage By MOLLY BLOCK Daily StaffReporter The University of Michigan Health System has significantly increased the amount of hospi- tal-based community benefits, including outreach and reduced- fee services, which grew 18 per- cent in just one year. The Michigan Health & Hospital Association's report, released on Monday, disclosed that UMHS provided about $362 million worth of donated servic- es in the 2011 fiscal year.' This yearly report assesses the health system's community donations as a springboard for enhancedbenefits. The report states that hospi- tals across the state of Michi- gan are improving the safety, efficiency and quality of patient care in addition to making an economic impact by providing affordable health care. Efforts such as Meals on Wheels, free or reduced-price screenings, health classes and training for new doctors and medical research have fed into the statewide 33-percent increase in hospital-based com- munity benefits over the past five years, according to the report. Community benefit services and programs are self-report- ed through an online form for each department and through the financial office, said Maria Thomas, community benefit and community health assessment director to the hospital.. "It's a duo-capturing structure in that the programs and services themselves are self-reported, but for the financial and uncompen- sated care piece is tracked by the financial department," Thomas' said. She also said there is a possibil- icy that the actual figures maybe larger than the reported number. "Because it is self.-reported, . it's likely that we're not captur- ing all of the community benefits we provide," Thomas said. "We imagine a fair amount of it goes unreported and the actual figure is larger than reflected." UMHS's community benefits are largely the costs of provid- ing health care to people with- out health insurance or people whose insurance doesn't cover the full cost of their care. The unpaid hospital-care costs. totaled $197 million in 2011, with about 10 percent coming from UMHS, according to the report. Educating new doctors and devoting hospital funds to research and other community- oriented programs led by UMHS faculty accounts for the rest of the donated services, about $165 million. The Affordable Care Act has permitted more uninsured Michigan residents to be eligi- ble for Medicaid or discounted insurance rates. UMHS plans to continue to offer discounts and assistance to those participating in the programs to help those still without coverage. While these services and pro- grams are beneficial for the sur- rounding communities, Thomas said it sends a signal that there is a gap in access to health care. "It's a double-edged sword," Thomas said. "On one hand, the fact that figures have risen con- sistently over a year reflects a deep-rooted commitment on the part of the health system to the community, but there is clearly a need." Inaddition,UMHSisapartner in the Washtenaw Community Health Organization; which pro- vides the Medicaid-eligible and uninsured population with men- tal health and substance abuse services. The Washtenaw Health Initia- tive is a voluntary collaboration aiming to find ways to improve access to health care services for residents who are low-income, uninsured and utilizing Medic- aid. WHI is composed of UMHS, Saint Joseph Mercy Health Sys- tem, VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System and other community services. Outside of the four walls of the hospital, UMHS faculty and med- ical students provide free health care in the area surrounding Ann Arbor. Theyvolunteer in facilities such as the Corner Health Clinic, Robert J. Delonis Center, Hope Clinic, Packard Community Clin- ic and Migrant Health Clinics. UMHS also partners with gov- ernment-run initiatives includ- ing the Michigan Department of Community Health and Michigan Department of Education. It does work in the Ann Arbor, Willow Run and Ypsilanti public school systems, running school-based health centers in the Regional Alliance for Healthy Schools. Meals on wheels, a senior nutrition program, is supported by the organization's fundraising efforts and funds from the health system. In addition, the hospital aids in food preparation creating a mutually beneficial relation- ship for patients, the organiza- tion and the health system, said Beth Adams, director of Ann Arbor Meals on Wheels. "I think it's a great partner- ship," Adams said. "There is such a strong linkage between health and nutrition that it really makes sense for this program to be sup- ported by the health system and the community. For a lot of our clients, the meals are the source of their most nutritious food." Inthe futurethe organization is hoping to add an alternative vegetarian entree and expand services to more seniors with Ann Arbor addresses. Last year's increase in donated programs and services is a good omen for expansion efforts, Adams said. "I'm not surprised, especially the percentage around uncom- pensated and charity care, with the economy, Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements changing there's going to con- tinue to be a greater demand for programs like Meals on Wheels," she said. 0 0 Hail tothe convenience.
