• Please see the following excerpt from the Northern Light Health Annual Report 2023 to the Community for details of community benefit projects at NLH members:Northern Light HealthAnnual Report 2023HOW ARE YOU?How are you is a simple question that we ask many times throughout the day, but its also a question that goes beyond conversation, an expression of genuine care and interest in the wellbeing of others. Its a foundation of the deeper, more meaningful relationships we build with our employees, patients, community members, and others. We hope this annual report illustrates how this question, while at the heart of our character, is one of the ways we guide our patients and their families through the healthcare experience. This year, we highlight ways our incredible employees and community partners work together to ensure we are making healthcare work for all people in Maine. From a nurse who provides healing care in the hospital and nourishing food in a restaurant, to helping community members combat opioid use disorder with Narcan training.Our commitment extends well beyond the walls of our facilities; we are training community organizations in psychological first aid and are collaborating with our local communities to promote health education and help create a healthier Maine. We extend our gratitude to our dedicated staff and community partners, and to the people of Maine who place their trust in us. We hope you take a moment to ask, How are you? and see how incorporating this simple but meaningful question into your daily interactions can positively affect our relationships and create meaningful connections.We hope you enjoy the 2023 Annual Report.Timothy J. Dentry, MBAPresident & CEONorthern Light HealthJohn RyanBoard ChairNorthern Light HealthHOW ARE YOUGOING TO SAVE A LIFE?Northern Light Healths Narcan Program: Saving Lives in Maine Andrew Mitchell found himself in a situation he never expected. He was outside a restaurant in Bangor one August afternoon in 2022 when a life changing experience convinced him of the importance of the overdose-reversing medication, Narcan. Mitchell, who received a Narcan kit at the Blue Hill Fair, was out with a friend when a woman across the street urgently called out that a man was overdosing. Quickly, Mitchell rushed to his truck, grabbed the Narcan kit, and administered the life-saving drug to the unconscious man, whose lips had turned blue. Thanks to his timely intervention, the man began to regain consciousness. Mitchell received his free Narcan kit from Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital, which has been at the forefront of addressing Maines opioid epidemic. Employees handed out these kits to the public at the Blue Hill Fair in 2022 and 2023. Mitchell shares, I had no medical training at all, and if I can use Narcan, anyone else can use it too. Its straightforward, he shares. Northern Light Healths efforts extend beyond Narcan distribution to individuals. Hospitals across the system are engaging the community in a new and meaningful way. Northern Light Inland Hospital in Waterville and Northern Light Sebasticook Valley Hospital in Pittsfield provide training to community organizations on the use of Narcan. The hospitals training programs are part of a three-year federal grant program to reduce overdose deaths in Maine. Hanna Bouchard, a community health outreach coordinator with both hospitals, plays a vital role in this program. Her experience as an emergency medical technician, coupled with her dedication to the cause has made her a key figure in providing Narcan training to community partners, including Kennebec Valley Community College in Fairfield. This program is not just about teaching people how to use Narcan; its about giving them the knowledge and tools to save lives, shares Bouchard. In the battle against opioid overdoses, data tells a compelling story. Maine experienced more than 700 overdose deaths in 2022, and while the numbers are alarming, Narcan is making a difference. Of the 9,394 reported non-fatal overdoses, 2,200 were reversed thanks to community members carrying Narcan. Now with Food and Drug Administration approval, this life-saving medication is available over the counter. Across Maine, the opioid crisis remains a significant challenge. These initiatives, whether distributing Narcan kits at the Blue Hill Fair or providing community trainings, are crucial steps towards reducing drug overdose deaths. These programs serve as beacons of hope, reminding us that every life is worth saving, and every intervention counts. A Vital Connection Are you monitoring your health? Northern Light Home Care & Hospice is one of the first home healthcare agencies to endorse and promote telehealth for patients who qualify. Through LiveConnected, Northern Lights telehealth program, monitors can be installed in a patients home. Our nurses train patients on how to read and record the information to monitor their condition, and the machine does the rest! More than 630 Mainers statewide use LiveConnected, including those who are not patients of Home Care & Hospice.The service uses monitoring equipment to provide daily readings of vital signs to registered nurses. The nurses work with the patient and their physician to maintain and adjust medications from the convenience of home. Each day at a pre-determined time, the machine guides the patient through the steps to monitor their health.Northern Light Home Care & Hospice uses a team approach to deliver care, educate our patients, and to better manage conditions like chronic heart and lung diseases. Often, managing chronic health conditions means frequent trips to the doctor or hospital to monitor vital signs. Using telemonitoring and offering care, such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech language pathology to patients at home eliminates the stress of frequent trips and difficult access to transportation. Each Northern Light Home Care & Hospice patient receives a customized care plan that includes clinical home visits, telehealth monitoring, and education designed for the individual, allowing patients to manage their care from the comfort of home.

• Withheld by Nonprofiteer: this text may name a private individual.

As filed on the 2022 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here. A text marked withheld matched a screen for wording that may name a private individual, such as an honorific or "in memory of". Most of what it withholds names no one; it is withheld so that what does is never shown.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
