Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Intended uses of endowment funds

NET ASSETS WITH DONOR RESTRICTIONS CONSIST OF ASSETS WHOSE USE IS LIMITED BY DONOR IMPOSED, TIME AND/OR PURPOSE RESTRICTIONS. SOME NET ASSETS HAVE BEEN RESTRICTED BY DONORS TO BE MAINTAINED BY THE CORPORATION IN PERPETUITY. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESTRICTION, A MAJORITY OF THE INVESTMENT INCOME AND INVESTMENT GAINS OR LOSSES FROM THESE NET ASSETS ARE RESTRICTED BY THE DONOR FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE. A SPECIFIED PORTION OF INCOME EARNED BY THE NET ASSETS IS RELEASED FROM RESTRICTION AND USED FOR OPERATIONS EACH YEAR AND, THEREFORE, IS INCLUDED IN THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS AND CHANGES IN NET ASSETS AS OTHER REVENUE. THE HOSPITAL HAS ONE ENDOWMENT FUND ESTABLISHED FOR PATIENT CARE PURPOSES WITH A VALUE OF $8,419,675. THE HOSPITAL HAS ESTABLISHED INVESTMENT AND SPENDING POLICIES RELATED TO THE APPRECIATION OF THIS ENDOWMENT. SHOULD THE UNDERLYING ASSETS FALL BELOW THIS TARGETED AMOUNT THE HOSPITAL PURSUES ACTION CONSISTENT WITH ESTABLISHED POLICIES TO RETURN THE ENDOWMENT TO THE TARGETED AMOUNT. BASED ON THESE POLICIES, ENDOWMENT AMOUNTS ARE TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED UNTIL BOARD AUTHORIZED RELEASE OF FUNDS FOR PATIENT CARE PURPOSES ARE APPROVED. AS A MEMBER ORGANIZATION OF BEACON HEALTH SYSTEM, THE HOSPITAL ALSO CAN BENEFIT FROM ENDOWMENT FUNDS HELD BY RELATED ENTITIES, THE VALUE OF WHICH WAS $42,456,771 AT 12/31/2023. IN 2023, THE HOSPITAL RECEIVED $0 FROM THE RELATED PARTY ENDOWMENT FUNDS. "Two Years Back" Line C has been reduced by $400,000 due to this being double counted. The balance has been restated to correctly account for this error.

Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote

ASC 740, INCOME TAXES, REQUIRES THAT REALIZATION OF AN UNCERTAIN INCOME TAX POSITION IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT (I.E., GREATER THAN 50% LIKELIHOOD OF RECEIVING A BENEFIT) BEFORE IT IS RECOGNIZED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS THE AMOUNT MOST LIKELY TO BE REALIZED ASSUMING A REVIEW BY TAX AUTHORITIES HAVING ALL RELEVANT INFORMATION AND APPLYING CURRENT CONVENTIONS. THIS INTERPRETATION ALSO CLARIFIES THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT CLASSIFICATION OF TAX-RELATED PENALTIES AND INTEREST AND SETS FORTH NEW DISCLOSURES REGARDING UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS. NO AMOUNT WAS RECORDED FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023 OR 2022.

Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 5 Facility , 1	Facility , 1 - ELKHART GENERAL HOSPITAL, INC.. BEGINNING IN JANUARY 2021, BEACON HEALTH SYSTEM UNDERTOOK COMPLETING A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA). OUR APPROACH UTILIZES BOTH QUANTITATIVE DATA (SECONDARY DATA, KEY INFORMANT SURVEY) AND QUALITATIVE DATA (FOCUS GROUPS, OPEN-ENDED RESPONSES). ONCE THE RESULTS OF THE SURVEY WERE DETERMINED, A QUALITATIVE APPROACH WAS USED TO GATHER RICHER INSIGHT INTO THE MAIN ISSUES FACED BY THE COMMUNITY. THEREFORE, THE METHODOLOGY FOLLOWED FOR THIS NEEDS ASSESSMENT CONSISTS OF THREE STEPS: 1) IDENTIFY NEEDS; 2) ANALYZE THE LINKS BETWEEN THE NEEDS AND THE INFORMATION REQUIRED TO MAKE DECISIONS; 3) MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT GUIDE DECISION-MAKING. THE DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS PROCESS STARTED IN JANUARY 2021 AND CONCLUDED IN NOVEMBER 2021. THE KEY FINDINGS WERE CONSOLIDATED IN ONE REPORT WHICH PROVIDED A SNAPSHOT OF THE THREE-COUNTY OVERALL HEALTH STATUS. THE KEY INFORMANT SURVEY COLLECTED INFORMATION FROM FEBRUARY 2021 THROUGH MAY 2021. FOCUS GROUPS LAUNCHED IN AUGUST 2021 AND CONCLUDED IN OCTOBER 2021. THIS ASSESSMENT FOCUSED ON CREATING A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THE BEACON COMMUNITY (ELKHART, LAPORTE, MARSHALL, AND ST. JOSEPH COUNTIES) AND THE RESPONSE NECESSARY TO ADDRESS THE NEED. DATA WAS COLLECTED THROUGH SECONDARY DATA COLLECTION, A KEY INFORMANT SURVEY, AND COMMUNITY FOCUS GROUPS ON A VARIETY OF TOPICS CENTERED ON HEALTH INDICATORS AND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. THE GOAL OF THE CHNA IS TO PROVIDE BEACON HEALTH SYSTEM WITH A CLEAR PICTURE OF ELKHART, LAPORTE, MARSHALL, AND ST. JOSEPH COUNTY, WHICH CONSTITUTES THE SERVICE AREAS OF ELKHART GENERAL HOSPITAL, MEMORIAL HOSPITAL OF SOUTH BEND, AND COMMUNITY HOSPITAL OF BREMEN. THE FINDINGS FROM THE ASSESSMENT WILL BE USED BY BEACON HEALTH SYSTEM TO PRIORITIZE HEALTH ISSUES IN THE COMMUNITY. THE RESEARCH TOOK THE FOLLOWING APPROACH TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS: KEY INFORMANT SURVEY - A SURVEY WAS PROVIDED TO COMMUNITY LEADERS AND THOSE KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE COMMUNITIES' HEALTH ISSUES. THE LIST OF KEY INFORMANTS WAS DEVELOPED BY BEACON COMMUNITY IMPACT STAFF ALONG WITH INPUT FROM A VARIETY OF KEY STAKEHOLDERS. TWO HUNDRED AND SEVEN COMPLETED RESPONSES WERE COLLECTED AND ANALYZED. SECONDARY DATA RESEARCH - INFORMATION RELATED TO THE CURRENT STATE OF THE COMMUNITIES' ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND HEALTH STATUS PUBLISHED BY ESTABLISHED SOURCES. DATA, WHEN POSSIBLE, WAS COLLECTED FOR A THREE-YEAR PERIOD IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH A TREND. OVER 1,000 DATA POINTS WERE COLLECTED AND ANALYZED, ENCOMPASSING MORE THAN 80 BEST PRACTICE INDICATORS. DATA FROM BEACON HEALTH SYSTEM'S ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD (EHR) WERE ALSO USED AS A SECONDARY DATA SOURCE. THE SECONDARY DATA REVIEWED SO FAR HAS ALL BEEN AGGREGATED AT THE COUNTY LEVEL, AND DOES NOT REVEAL WHEN THERE ARE DIFFERENCES IN INDICATORS BASED ON RACE, ETHNICITY, AGE, NEIGHBORHOOD, OR SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS. WHEN STRATIFIED BY THESE CATEGORIES, PUBLICALLY AVAILABLE SOURCES AND DATA FROM BEACON'S ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD (EHR) FROM LATE 2020 - EARLY 2021, DEMONSTRATE DISPARITIES IN BOTH HEALTH OUTCOMES AND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. COMMUNITY FOCUS GROUPS - GROUPS OF 3 - 18 INDIVIDUALS WERE ENGAGED IN CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE CURRENT HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. BEACON COMMUNITY IMPACT UTILIZED STANFORD'S FOCUS GROUP GUIDE AND CONDUCTED THREE FOCUS GROUPS PER COUNTY (ELKHART, MARSHALL, AND ST. JOSEPH). STAFF CONDUCTED AT LEAST TWO ENGLISH AND ONE SPANISH FOCUS GROUP PER COUNTY. EACH FOCUS GROUP WAS RECORDED FOR CONTINUITY. FOCUS GROUP RECORDINGS WERE TRANSCRIBED AND DE-IDENTIFIED USING A PROFESSIONAL TRANSCRIPTION SERVICE AND QUALITATIVE RESEARCH SOFTWARE TOOLS WERE UTILIZED TO ANALYZE THE TRANSCRIPTS FOR COMMON THEMES. STAFF THEN ENGAGED IN AN INTERRATER RELIABILITY CHECK TO ENSURE ACCURACY OF IDENTIFIED THEMES. FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA), THE COMMUNITY SERVED IS DEFINED AS THOSE PERSONS RESIDING IN ELKHART AND ST JOSEPH COUNTIES, WHO WERE PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS. BEACON COMMUNITY IMPACT MAKES A SPECIAL EFFORT TO FOCUS ON POPULATIONS WITH THE HIGHEST UNMET NEEDS, SPECIFICALLY THOSE PERSONS WHO ARE KNOWN AS VULNERABLE, THROUGH CHRONIC DISEASES, LOWER-INCOME AND POVERTY, MEMBERS OF A MINORITY POPULATION AND/OR THE UNINSURED. STAKEHOLDERS IN THE COMMUNITY PARTICIPATED AND REPRESENTED A BROAD KNOWLEDGE OF INTERESTS, INCLUDING PUBLIC HEALTH, AND MINORITY, CULTURAL, AND UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS. THROUGH THE FOLLOWING ORGANIZATIONS BEACON ENSURED THAT UNDER-REPRESENTED POPULATIONS (MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED, LOW-INCOME, AND MINORITY POPULATIONS) WERE ENGAGED IN THE CONSULTATION PROCESS, ACTIVELY REACHING OUT TO THEM, ENSURING THAT NEEDS AND PERCEPTIONS FROM A WIDE RANGE OF DEMOGRAPHIC AND SOCIOECONOMIC GROUPS WERE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION IN THE DEFINITION OF TOP COMMUNITY HEALTH ISSUES. THE FOLLOWING ORGANIZATIONS HELPED INCREASE THE REACH OF THE SURVEY, HENCE SOLICITED IN ORDER FOR BEACON TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT INPUT RECEIVED FROM PERSONS WHO REPRESENT THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES: AIDS MINISTRIES, AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY, AMERICAN UNIVERSITY BEIRUT, BAUGO COMMUNITY SCHOOLS, BEACON CANCER CARE, BEACON COMMUNITY IMPACT, BEACON HEALTH SYSTEM, POKAGON HEALTH SERVICES, IU SCHOOL OF MEDICINE - SOUTH BEND, BEACON MEDICAL GROUP, BEACON PEDIATRIC SPECIALTY, BEACON - NORTH CENTRAL INDIANA SICKLE CELL INITIATIVE, BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS SOUTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN, REGION, BOWEN CENTER, BOYS & GIRLS CLUB OF ST.

THE ASSESSMENT PROCESS IDENTIFIED TWO HEALTH PRIORITIES THAT CAN BE STREAMLINED INTO THE ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS OF BEACON HEALTH SYSTEM'S MISSION. PRIORITY AREAS - HEALTHCARE ACCESS (HEALTH LITERACY) AND MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDE A FRAMEWORK FOR THE ALIGNMENT OF INTERVENTION STRATEGIES WITH BHS MISSION AND VALUES THAT AIM FOR 1) PROVIDING INFORMATION AND ENHANCE SKILLS TO PATIENTS/PRACTITIONERS/COMMUNITY; 2) IMPROVING EQUITABLE ACCESS TO HEALTH AND WELLNESS; 3) LEVERAGING INCENTIVES FOR LONG-TERM BEHAVIORAL CHANGE; AND 4) IMPROVING AND STRENGTHENING THE SOCIAL AND HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS IN THE THREE-COUNTY AREA.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 5 Facility , 2	Facility , 2 - . CONTINUED Three Rivers Health, which serves St. Joseph County in Michigan, joined the Beacon family after the completion of the 2021 CHNA. They participated in their local health department's CHNA, which found mental health and resource accessibility to be among the top three health needs, which aligns with our priority areas and implementation strategy.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 6a Facility , 1	Facility , 1 - ELKHART GENERAL HOSPITAL, INC.. ELKHART GENERAL HOSPITAL (EGH) DEVELOPED THE 2021 ST. JOSEPH COUNTY CHNA IN PARTNERSHIP WITH MEMORIAL HOSPITAL OF SOUTH BEND, COMMUNITY HOSPITAL OF BREMEN, BEACON HEALTH SYSTEM (BHS) CARE PARTNERS.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 7 Facility , 1	Facility , 1 - ELKHART GENERAL HOSPITAL, INC.. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) WAS MADE WIDELY AVAILABLE TO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH POSTING ON THE EGH WEBSITE AT BEACONHEALTHSYSTEM.ORG/CHNA AND THROUGH EMAIL TRANSMISSION UPON REQUEST. HOSPITAL STAFF WERE ALSO AVAILABLE TO DISCUSS THE RESULTS OF THE CHNA AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES IN REQUESTED COMMUNITY FORUMS.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 1	Facility , 1 - ELKHART GENERAL HOSPITAL. Beacon Health System's 2021 Community Health Needs Assessment identified two top health priorities: Mental Health and Healthcare Access. These were common across all three counties where Beacon operates a hospital. Our approach to Community Benefit includes addressing these health needs from three angles. With each approach, both internal programs and externally funded partners are required to report on common metrics. This allows Beacon to focus its resources to achieve and demonstrate a deeper impact in our priority health areas. Beacon Community Impact provided community resources to 52,794 individuals across our service area - Elkhart, Marshall, and St. Joseph, IN Counties. In 2023, we first recognized the importance of partnering with other organizations who are experts in what they do, Beacon funds community non-profits who have boots on the ground in the most vulnerable neighborhoods in our service area, and with more diverse populations. Each of our funded partners who are addressing one of the tactics outlined on the Implementation Strategy are responsible for reporting both the number of participants they serve and one or more outcome metric in the priority areas of Mental Health or Healthcare Access. Within Beacon Health System, the Beacon Community Impact Department leads efforts impact our priority areas of mental health and healthcare access using a combination of internal programs and collaborative partnerships. Our implementation strategy incorporates a three-pronged approach: We provide direct services to clients through Beacon's Early Childhood Services and Community Health Services teams. Early Childhood Services include the St. Joseph County (Ind.) WIC program, two sickle cell programs and our Family & Infants Support Program. These programs focus on the health status of women, infants and young families, particularly the most vulnerable in Beacon's service area. Our Community Health Services team focuses on prevention through community health educators with school curricula delivered throughout middle and high schools in the three Indiana counties we serve. Summer programming shifts to health-related day camps and participation at community health fairs. Though it may not be their primary focus, these community health teams screen for and provide referrals for clients experiencing mental health challenges. Likewise, they emphasize the importance of trusted adults as protective factors for youth. We fund local community organizations with expertise in their service areas. These organizations are community nonprofits with boots-on-the-ground services in the most vulnerable neighborhoods and more diverse populations. Each of the funded partners addresses the top two health priorities and reports on the number of participants and on an outcome metric for either mental health or healthcare access. In addition, Beacon partnered with the local health department in Three Rivers, Michigan, to support building out their Community Health Worker Program to increase services addressing healthcare access and mental health. Beacon administers state and federal grants as the fiscal agent to deliver direct programming funded by the grants and to build out the data infrastructure in Beacon communities. In 2023, we completed the final year of the COVID grants from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under the U. S. Dept. of Health and Human Services. These grants funded two programs to provide COVID vaccines and vaccine education. This was also the final year of administering Project HOPE and the second year for Supported and Safe, also funded by HRSA, which established a coalition of organizations to address opioid use in Marshall County. In the fall of 2023, we were awarded the Indiana Safety Pin - FIMR grant for St. Joseph County, IN, to re-establish the fetal infant mortality review (FIMR) program. Beacon Community Impact also provides services and collaborates with outside organizations with funding from a State of Indiana Safety Pin grant. Finally, Beacon functions as the fiscal agent for programming run by local outpatient mental health provider Oaklawn to build crisis response teams. Mental Health Strategy - Provide wrap-around mental health support with a multidisciplinary team from various referral sources. - Partner on the development of a Self-Healing Community to build resilience and relieve stress on the traditional mental health care system. - Drive the rollout of Trauma-Informed Care throughout Beacon and the community. - Health and Wellness Team - provide evidence-based community and school education. - Community Health Workers (CHWs) on the Early Childhood Services and Community Health Services teams provide peer-led education to address mental wellness and resilience. Healthcare Access Strategy - Embed in Beacon Medical Group practices to work with pregnant women with adverse childhood experiences and social determinants of health needs. - Have a community health worker at Community Hospital of Bremen. - Grow and standardize the use of community health workers for scaling out in the future. - Implement experts in navigating the healthcare system. - Educate patients to optimize their use of the health system. - Refer to insurance navigators for insurance enrollment. - Build organizational health literacy between Beacon and Community Impact departments. Mental Health Metrics % of the population with frequent mental health distress % of the population with two or more trusted support people Healthcare Access Metrics % of the population with health insurance (adults<65 and children) % of adults who reported their healthcare providers always involved them in decisions about their care, as much as they wanted. NEEDS NOT BEING ADDRESSED: By overlapping the top identified needs from the Key Informants, Secondary Data, and Focus Groups, we see that Mental Health, Chronic Disease, and Healthcare Access are the top health issues identified by all data sources combined. Other issues may have ranked higher by just one source, but not all three. Notably, sexually transmitted disease, immunization and infectious disease, and injury and violence prevention were among the top issues according to secondary data, but among the lowest rated issues according to key informants and focus groups. Overweight / obesity is also a top health issue according to secondary data; it ranked as a moderate health issue according to the other sources, just not at the top. Community Gaps Key Informants provided many ideas on areas of improvement. Most commonly, is the concern about the lack of mental health providers in the area. "From my experience, our biggest challenge stems from workforce shortages in mental health. If we could hire the amount of staff we need, our capacity would be much greater. It has been very difficult to find a competent and caring staff that can maintain a career in mental health and substance use." More specifically, the area needs more programs and/or services around pediatric mental health. As one Key Informant stated, "Mental health issues have drastically increased in our K-12 student population. We need to empower more school personnel to help students with these issues, and we need more mental health professionals in our school systems." Accessing mental health and more broadly, health services, is increasingly hard for low-income individuals. Focus group participants and Key Informants noted how navigating the healthcare system is too complex. Health insurance navigators and additional community resources are needed to ensure everyone can get to the appointments they need to get to and are informed. "I believe we need more outreach efforts. I think Beacon has the ability to meet families where they are-- whether it's at the childcare provider or a place of employment. We need to make healthcare more accessible." Another Key Informant went on to mirror these thoughts, "I think our wellness system is still not accessible to everyone. Self-advocacy, tenacity, and resilience are necessary to access health systems and to navigate social support systems. We need ways to reach people by attraction and positive experiences without screening highest need which causes further barriers."
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 2	Facility , 2 - . CONTINUED Community Strengths Key informants identified collaboration among non-profit service providers, agencies addressing food insecurity, and the public parks system, particularly South Bend's Venues Parks and Arts, as strengths in the community. They identified a number of organizations who do quality work to improve the health of the community. These include medical providers who serve low-income or the uninsured population, multiple organizations who provide emergency food access, some who serve specific populations such as homeless individuals, people with cancer, children, or people with substance use disorder. Again, collaborative efforts were noticed by the key informants.

Schedule H, Part I, Line 6a EXPLANATION OF ORGANIZATION'S PREPARATION OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT	CREATING COMMUNITY HEALTH IS AT THE CORE OF ELKHART GENERAL HOSPITAL'S MISSION. PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH IS OUR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND A KEY TO LONG-TERM COST EFFECTIVENESS. IN ADDITION, IMPROVING THE HEALTH STATUS OF A COMMUNITY IS AS MUCH A SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE, AS IT IS A MEDICAL ONE. CONSEQUENTLY, THE ORGANIZATION TAKES A BROAD APPROACH TO CREATING COMMUNITY HEALTH. THIS APPROACH HAS INCLUDED: ONGOING EDUCATION OF BOARD MEMBERS, STAFF AND LOCAL LEADERS THROUGH A COMMITMENT TO CONTINUOUS QUALITY IMPROVEMENT AND PROMOTION OF VOLUNTEER INVOLVEMENT AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS. ELKHART GENERAL HOSPITAL INVESTS IN THE COMMUNITY. THIS INVESTMENT IS IN ADDITION TO THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND PREVENTION, AND EDUCATION ACTIVITIES SUPPORTED THROUGH ITS OPERATING BUDGET. THE BEACON COMMUNITY IMPACT ADVISORY COUNCIL MAKES ONGOING POLICY AND OVERSEES THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE FUND AND DETERMINES SPECIFIC INVESTMENT ALLOCATIONS BASED UPON THE ASSETS AND NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. STAFF ARE COMMITTED TO PRUDENTLY INVESTING THESE RESOURCES IN AN ACCOUNTABLE MANNER. AS A COMMUNITY NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION, WE TAKE SERIOUSLY OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO INVEST OUR RESOURCES AND ENERGIES INTO UNDERSTANDING AND MEETING THE DIVERGENT HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF ALL, AND ENSURE THAT EVERYONE, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY, RECEIVES THE CARE THEY NEED.

Schedule H, Part I, Line 7 Costing Methodology used to calculate financial assistance	THE COSTING METHOD USED TO CALCULATE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE REPORTED ON LINES 7 A THROUGH D WAS THE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO. ALL OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS WERE CALCULATED USING DIRECT COSTS. PART I, LINE 7 COLUMN (F) BAD DEBT EXPENSE OF $15,466,066 WAS REMOVED FROM TOTAL EXPENSES.
Schedule H, Part II Community Building Activities	Elkhart County's early childhood initiative, Building Strong Brains, represents an unprecedented coordinated, system approach to kindergarten readiness. Five local organizations agree to collectively lead a coalition of stakeholders across education, health, business, nonprofit, and philanthropic sectors, with the goal of increasing kindergarten readiness for the children in Elkhart County. The comprehensive approach includes maternal & child health, community supports for children and families, and quality childcare and early learning environments. The coalition has been divided into three action teams that each have a specialty of focus to map the current system of services and supports and identify opportunities and gaps and identifies potential strategies to address need. Beacon Community Impact gladly supports this coalition, we have had an associate serving as an Action Team Chair since the inception in 2022. The Greater Elkhart Chamber of Commerce has many councils, the purpose of the Education/Career Development Council is to support, promote and align with our education system, worker training and instruction programs to help our citizens in Elkhart County meet the demands of the future. Beacon Community Impact supports this effort, we have an associate serving as a Co-Chair to share information from our health system and bridge the needs of the community with educators and local businesses in the greater Elkhart area. By meeting with local school administrators we are able to share updates from our CHNA strategies, provide resources and connect partners more efficiently. Beacon Health System is also able to support the goal of the council in which to increase the level of career and college readiness in Elkhart County by welcoming internships from our local Elkhart County high schools at Elkhart General Hospital and offices. In addition, BCI is active with the Greater Elkhart Chamber of Commerce Leadership Academy Advisory Council, this work promotes servant leadership through an awareness program combining key community issues and enhanced leadership skill development to advance community stewardship. Together We Rock Program, which serves and brings together infant and early childhood providers in Elkhart County for learning circles, training and collaboration. This work parallels the Partnership for Children (PFC) program in many ways, just with an early childhood focus. Beacon Community Impact has a representative on this coalition.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 2 Bad debt expense - methodology used to estimate amount	THE CORPORATION EVALUATES THE COLLECTABILITY OF ITS ACCOUNTS RCEIVABLE BASED ON THE LENGTH OF TIME THE RECEIVABLE IS OUTSTANDING, PAYOR CLASS, AND THE ANTICIPATED FUTURE UNCOLLECTIBLE AMOUNTS BASED ON HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE CHARGED TO THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS WHEN THEY ARE DEEMED UNCOLLECTIBLE. COSTING METHODOLOGY IS THE SAME AS TAX FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, WORKSHEET 2 METHODOLOGY. PATIENT CARE IS COST ADJUSTED BY NON-PATIENT ACTIVITY, EXPENSES, AND PATIENT CARE CHARGES. THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT REPORTED ON PART III, LINE 2 IS CALCULATED BY APPLYING THE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO, AS DETERMINED BY WORKSHEET 2, TO TOTAL BAD DEBT EXPENSE PER THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. BAD DEBT EXPENSE WHICH IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO ELIGIBLE PATIENTS IS CONSIDERED PART OF ELKHART GENERAL HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT BECAUSE OF OUR MISSION TO CREATE A HEALTHIER COMMUNITY WHILE CONTINUING OUR CHARITABLE ROLE IN THE COMMUNITY.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 3 Bad Debt Expense Methodology	BAD DEBT ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE FAP IS ESTIMATED BASED ON THE HISTORICAL TREND OF THE SOURCES OF THE BAD DEBT. THE MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT IS ATRIBUTABLE TO UNINSURED PATIENTS WHICH REPRESENT THE MAJORITY OF THE POPULATION THAT WOULD FALL UNDER THE FAP. WE HAVE APPLIED THE HISTORICAL ESTIMATE (50%) TO THE TOTAL BAD DEBT EXPENSE TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE FAP.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 4 Bad debt expense - financial statement footnote	THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IS BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS, TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE TRENDS IN HEALTH CARE COVERAGE, HISTORICAL ECONOMIC TRENDS, AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. MANAGEMENT ASSESSES THE ADEQUACY OF THE ALLOWANCES PERIODICALLY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR BASED UPON HISTORICAL WRITE-OFF EXPERIENCE BY MAJOR PAYOR CATEGORY. THE RESULTS OF THE REVIEW ARE THEN UTILIZED TO MAKE MODIFICATIONS, AS NECESSARY, TO THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS TO PROVIDE FOR AN APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE CORPORATION'S UNINSURED PATIENTS WILL BE UNWILLING TO PAY FOR THE SERVICES PROVIDED. THUS, THE CORPORATION RECORDS A SIGNIFICANT PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS RELATED TO UNINSURED PATIENTS IN THE PERIOD THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 8 Community benefit & methodology for determining medicare costs	RATIONALE FOR INCLUSION OF THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. PARTICIPATION IN THE GOVERNMENTAL MEDICARE PROGRAM DOES NOT PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A HOSPITAL TO NEGOTIATE A REIMBURSEMENT RATE OR STRUCTURE THAT WOULD ALLOW THE HOSPITAL TO COVER THE COST OF THE MEDICAL SERVICE RENDERED TO THE PROGRAM PARTICIPANT, AS WOULD BE THE CASE IN CONTRACTUAL NEGOTIATIONS WITH COMMERCIAL INSURANCE COMPANIES. NOR IS THE HOSPITAL ALLOWED TO PROVIDE ONLY THE SERVICES FOR WHICH REIMBURSEMENT COVERS THE DIRECT COST OF CARE. THIS PRODUCES THE SAME SHORTFALL OUTCOME AS DOES THE PARTICIPATION IN THE MEDICAID PROGRAM. THE MEDICAID PROGRAM IS RECOGNIZED AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT ON SCHEDULE H AND ON COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORTS FOR MOST STATES. THE QUALITY AND COST OF THE PATIENT CARE IS THE SAME REGARDLESS OF PAYOR SOURCE. HENCE THE ACCEPTANCE OF MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENT REPRESENTS A REDUCTION OR RELIEF OF THE GOVERNMENT BURDEN TO PAY THE FULL COST OF CARE PROVIDED. THE SOURCE USED FOR THE COSTING METHODOLOGY FOR THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON LINE 6 WAS THE 2022 MEDICARE COST REPORT.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 9b Collection practices for patients eligible for financial assistance	PATIENTS KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOLLOW THE SAME COLLECTION POLICY AS ALL INDIVIDUALS WITH BALANCES REMAINING AFTER APPLICATION OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. CREDIT AND COLLECTIONS POLICY: ELHART GENERAL HOSPITAL RELIES ON TIMELY PAYMENT OF PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE TO ALLOW THE HOSPITAL TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE HIGH-QUALITY MEDICAL CARE AND TO SECURE THE LATEST IN HEALTH CARE TECHNOLOGY FOR ITS PATIENTS. ELKHART GENERAL HOSPITAL, RECOGNIZING THE BURDEN THAT UNEXPECTED HEALTH CARE EXPENSES CAN PLACE ON PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES, WILL ASSIST PATIENTS TO RESOLVE OPEN ACCOUNTS FOR HOSPITAL SERVICES BY WORKING WITH THIRD PARTY PAYERS TO ADJUDICATE PATIENT'S INSURANCE CLAIMS AND BY PROVIDING ALTERNATIVE PAYMENT PLANS FOR PATIENTS. THE HOSPITAL ALSO PROVIDES SUBSIDIZED CARE FOR THOSE PATIENTS WHO QUALIFY. HOWEVER, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SOME GOVERNMENT AND CONTRACTED CARE PLANS, ULTIMATE RESPONSIBILITY FOR RESOLUTION OR PAYMENT OF ACCOUNTS RESTS WITH THE PATIENT. PATIENTS ARE EXPECTED TO WORK WITH HOSPITAL PERSONNEL TO RESOLVE ACCOUNTS WITH THEIR INSURANCE COMPANIES AND/OR EMPLOYERS AS APPROPRIATE. WHERE THERE IS AN ESTIMATED SELF-PAY BALANCE DUE, ELKHART GENERAL HOSPITAL WILL ASK NON-EMERGENCY PATIENTS TO PAY THAT BALANCE PRIOR TO OR AT THE TIME OF ADMISSION/REGISTRATION. 1. IF A PATIENT DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND DOES NOT PAY THEIR ACCOUNT ACCORDING TO THE OPTIONS PROVIDED, THEN THE PATIENT'S ACCOUNT WILL BE PROCESSED ACCORDING TO THE BAD DEBT WRITE OFF POLICY. 2. IF A PATIENT HAS BEGUN MAKING PAYMENTS BUT THEN IS LATER DETERMINED TO QUALIFY UNDER THE FAP, ELKHART GENERAL HOSPITAL WOULD ISSUE A REFUND TO THE PATIENT FOR ANY AMOUNT THAT HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO EXCEED THEIR NEWLY DETERMINED FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. 3. ELKHART GENERAL HOSPITAL MAY REQUEST AND COLLECT A DEPOSIT, BASED ON THE PATIENT'S TOTAL ESTIMATED PORTION OF A BILL, FROM APPROPRIATE NON-EMERGENCY INPATIENT ADMISSIONS, SAME DAY SURGERY PATIENTS, AND PATIENTS SCHEDULED FOR HIGH-DOLLAR OUTPATIENT PROCEDURES PRIOR TO OR AT THE TIME OF ADMISSION OR REGISTRATION. IN THE EVENT THAT A REQUEST FOR PAYMENT IS NOT MADE PRIOR TO OR AT THE TIME OF THE PATIENT'S ARRIVAL, A FINANCIAL COUNSELOR MAY CALCULATE THE ESTIMATED DEPOSIT AMOUNT AND CONFER WITH THE PATIENT/GUARANTOR FOR PAYMENT FOLLOWING THE ADMISSION OR REGISTRATION PROCESS VIA A FINANCIAL INTERVIEW. (IN SOME INSTANCES, THIS COULD OCCUR WHILE THE PATIENT IS IN HIS/HER ASSIGNED ROOM.) AT THE TIME OF DISCHARGE, EMERGENCY PATIENTS MAY BE REQUESTED TO PAY ANY CO-PAY OR DEDUCTIBLE. 4. WHERE APPROPRIATE, ELKHART GENERAL HOSPITAL WILL IDENTIFY, AND REQUEST PAYMENT OF, AGED PATIENT BALANCES AS PART OF THE REQUEST FOR DEPOSIT. PAYMENT FOR OPEN PRIOR BALANCES WILL NOT DELAY CARE FOR EMERGENCY OR MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE. AGED OPEN PRIOR BALANCES WILL BE CONSIDERED BY THE COLLECTION STAFF IN PATIENT ACCOUNT SERVICES WHENEVER PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS OR AN ALTERNATIVE PAYMENT PROGRAM IS DEVELOPED FOR A PATIENT. 5. UNINSURED PATIENTS ARE GIVEN A 35% DISCOUNT FROM GROSS CHARGES. 6. ELKHART GENERAL HOSPITAL WILL CONDUCT FINANCIAL INTERVIEWS WITH PATIENTS AND/OR GUARANTORS WHEN NECESSARY.

Schedule H, Part VI, Line 5 Promotion of community health	In partnership with Beacon Health System (BHS), the mission of Elkhart General Hospital (EGH) is to deliver outstanding care, inspire health and connect with heart. BHS is committed to clinical excellence, compassionate care, and the ongoing improvement of quality of life. Our commitment will lead BHS to be the community's provider of outstanding quality, superior value and comprehensive health care services. Both BHS and EGH consistently invest funds to improve the quality of life for our communities. BHS values reflect an unwavering commitment to the communities we serve. EGH has as its values: Patients are at the center - Patient needs, care and safety are our top priority. - Trust - Our actions will firmly demonstrate our integrity, abilities and our character. - Respect - We will treat our patients, community members, and each other with the highest level of regard, demonstrating an understanding of different perspectives, cultures, interests and needs of others. - Integrity - We will continually do the right thing for patients, associates, and communities we serve. - Compassion - We will appropriately demonstrate empathy and sympathy, and express the desire to help. Elkhart General Hospital seeks to promote the health and wellbeing of Elkhart County residents, with specific focus on the most vulnerable populations, by providing education to aid in early detection and prevention of disease and to improve the health status of the community as a whole. A key mechanism by which this goal is carried out is Elkhart General Hospital's serious, consistent, deliberate search for and partnership with like-minded organizations. Elkhart General Hospital continues to seek out partnerships with multiple community entities to address the needs of the medically underserved and to improve the health status of our community. These collaborative alliances included local public health, schools, churches, social service agencies, minority advocacy groups, victim assistance, and community health providers. Elkhart General Hospital's governing body is comprised of persons who reside in Elkhart County. Board of Directors, who serve without pay, guides the system in its mission to provide high quality, affordable health care to the communities it serves. The Board's roles include guaranteeing fair and equal access, approving new medical staff members and approving long-term strategies for the continued success of the hospital. Additionally, Elkhart General Hospital extends medical staff privileges to all qualified physicians in our community. Beacon Health System welcomed Three Rivers Health in Three Rivers, Michigan, to the Beacon family in September 2021. In 2023, Community Impact established a working relationship with the local health department, Branch-Hillsdale-St. Joseph Community Health Agency, to address the top needs in the community. After seeing the impact of food insecurity on patients, a Beacon family medicine resident dedicated her service project to addressing this need. Now more than 50 bags of food are given to families and individuals in our community every month. Individuals experiencing homelessness often have poor access to medical care, for a variety of reasons that range from costs to transportation to social barriers. The Street Medicine South Bend program established by the Beacon Memorial Family Medicine Residency program a year ago has enabled physician volunteers to begin building trust and meeting these individuals where they are. So far, the physicians have seen more than 120 individuals experiencing homelessness. The St. Joseph County (Ind.) WIC program, hosted by Beacon Health System continues to promote breastfeeding, once again putting it in the top five WIC agencies in Indiana - and ensuring that more women can successfully breastfeed their infants, giving them a healthier start in life. Beacon Health System-funded Self-Healing Communities of Greater Michiana is building resilience to trauma and adversity by teaching people to care for themselves and each other, creating learning communities and establishing a website to share neuroscience-based resources. Through Beacon Community Impact, Beacon Health System was awarded over $3.8 million in external grant funds to prevent child abuse, help people stop smoking, improve the health of mothers and babies, increase access to COVID-19 vaccination and much more.
