Part V, Section BFacility Reporting Group A
Facility Reporting Group A consists of:- Facility 1: Baptist Health Lexington, - Facility 2: Baptist Health Louisville, - Facility 3: Baptist Health Hardin, - Facility 4: Baptist Health Paducah, - Facility 5: Baptist Health Floyd, - Facility 6: Baptist Health Corbin, - Facility 7: Baptist Health La Grange, - Facility 8: Baptist Health Richmond
Group A-Facility 1 -- Baptist Health Lexington Part V, Section B, line 5:The Baptist Health Lexington CHNA committee worked closely with a wide variety of community partners and resources to gather, disseminate and prioritize the information needed for the Community Health Needs Assessment. Such a community-driven plan of action engages the public and develops partnerships that help promote wellness and healthier communities. There are numerous health departments in the Baptist Health Lexington service area responsible for the counties Baptist Health Lexington serves. Each health department's community improvement plan was evaluated by the CHNA committee and those initiatives were considered throughout the process of determining the goals for the Baptist Health Lexington Community Health Needs Assessment. The committee also solicited public opinion on community health needs using a survey distributed via social media, on the Baptist Health Lexington website and via email to Baptist Health Lexington patients. Survey responses, coupled with the information from the respective health departments, were considered as primary data. Secondary data obtained from national, state and local demographic and socioeconomic sources was used, including Kentucky vital statistics, disease prevalence studies, outcome measures and health indicators and statistics. The most recent data came from the Robert Wood Johnson County Health rankings, which were published in 2020. Data regarding health outcomes, health behaviors, clinical care availability, socioeconomic factors and physical environment risks for each county in Baptist Health Lexington's service area was analyzed.The Community Health Needs Assessment Committee included senior hospital leadership and specific department directors. The committee reviewed the information gathered through the primary and secondary data sources combined with the information obtained through community partners, and the comprehensive list of community health needs were documented. The committee then prioritized how and where Baptist Health Lexington should concentrate its resources over the next three years to most effectively address these pressing health needs that create hardships for our residents and stress on agencies throughout our communities. The final CHNA and SIP were approved by the administrative Board of Directors of the hospital and by the Baptist Healthcare System Board of Directors.
Group A-Facility 1 -- Baptist Health Lexington Part V, Section B, line 11:The CHNA committee's purpose was to identify health challenges and risk factors that can be modified or prevented to improve the health of our community. The committee identified and prioritized community needs for the service area that Baptist Health Lexington can address and affect by implementing programs, providing educational support and sponsoring preventive screenings. The CHNA committee ranked substance abuse as their first priority in terms of public health issues. Opioid abuse has become an epidemic across the country and locally we are seeing a similar surge of opioid usage admissions and emergency room visits. Opioid abuse has a significant impact on overall health and can lead to other co-morbidities. In addition, the service area is seeing steady occurrences of drug-addicted newborns that must be sent to neonatal intensive care units to treat withdrawal symptoms. We have worked to reduce the number of opioids prescribed by physicians and are educating our nursing staff on opioid utilization through the development of a hospital opioid stewardship committee. Baptist Health employs an Addiction Nurse Coordinator to link patients with substance use issues to available treatment options, and we have actively engaged in community education partnerships, such as working with Voices of Hope, community Opioid Awareness Day and other local agencies to assist in educating the community. Expanding access to substance abuse services throughout the community and reducing the stigma surrounding treatment are important steps to mitigating this public health crisis.As cancer continues to be a leading cause of death in this service area, the committee ranked it as their second priority in terms of public health issues. The committee acknowledged the continued need for board-certified oncologists and easier access to cancer-related services such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy, as well as improved access to preventative screenings. Baptist Health Hamburg, a new state-of-the-art campus that includes an Emergency Department, a cancer center, a comprehensive diagnostic center, a surgery center, and a multi-story physician office complex opened in April 2024 and provides convenient access to additional healthcare services for those who live near the growing Hamburg area and in surrounding counties. Hospital and medical staff have provided screening information and educational materials for patients in primary care and specialists offices and throughout central and eastern Kentucky communities to encourage cancer screenings. Early diagnosis and expanded treatment options will help to mitigate the impact of cancer on our community.The committee's third priority was cardiovascular disease, which encompasses coronary artery disease, heart attack, arrhythmias, heart failure, cardiomyopathy and vascular disease. Working with various community agencies, the focus on education, prevention and treatment has been a priority as the goal is to expand public awareness of disease root causes and commonly associated conditions to increase compliance with standard-of-care protocols and to decrease the occurrence of these health issues.It is not within the scope of Baptist Health Lexington's services, expertise or resources to be able to address all of the risk factors that have been identified as influencers of our community's health status. However, it is through networking, partnerships and collaboration with other community stakeholder organizations and agencies that these issues are being addressed. Increasing communication between community service providers, enhancing the public's awareness of the agencies and services available and promoting assistance provided by local community partners is a common goal of our healthcare and civic leaders. Baptist Health Lexington works collaboratively with other community resources to provide support and to serve as a referral source to address the additional identified health needs that fall below the significant prevalence level for our service area. Impact issues such as unemployment and uninsured populations are being managed by economic development groups, the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, city and county governments and county health departments.

Group A-Facility 2 -- Baptist Health Louisville Part V, Section B, line 5:The Baptist Health Louisville CHNA committee worked closely with a wide variety of community partners and resources to gather, disseminate and prioritize the information needed for the Community Health Needs Assessment. Such a community-driven plan of action engages the public and develops partnerships that help promote wellness and healthier communities. There are four health departments responsible for the counties Baptist Health Louisville serves: Louisville Metro Public Health & Wellness (Jefferson County); the Bullitt County Health Department; the Oldham County Public Health Department and the North Central District Health Department, which serves both Shelby and Spencer counties. The Louisville Metro Public Health & Wellness Health Equity Report 2017 proved to be a valuable resource of primary data for the committee. Several members of the Baptist Health Louisville leadership team serve on committees and boards throughout the community including Hospice/Hosparus, the Center for Women and Families, Leadership Louisville and various school boards, which provided additional sources of data. Baptist Health Louisville solicited public opinion information on community health needs using a survey distributed via social media, through the Baptist Health Louisville website and via email to Baptist Health Louisville patients. Through these contacts, data resources and public surveys, Baptist Health Louisville gained valuable information regarding the current health issues confronting its service area. Secondary data obtained from national, state and local demographic and socioeconomic sources was used, including Kentucky vital statistics, disease prevalence studies, outcome measures and health indicators and statistics. The most recent data came from the Robert Wood Johnson County Health rankings, which were published in 2020. Data regarding health outcomes, health behaviors, clinical care availability, socioeconomic factors and physical environment risks for each county in Baptist Health Louisville's service area was analyzed.The Community Health Needs Assessment Committee included senior hospital leadership and specific department directors. The committee reviewed the information gathered through the primary and secondary data sources combined with the information obtained through community partners, and the comprehensive list of community health needs were documented. The committee then prioritized how and where Baptist Health Louisville should concentrate its resources over the next three years to most effectively address these pressing health needs that create hardships for our residents and stress on agencies throughout our communities. The final CHNA and SIP were approved by the administrative Board of Directors of the hospital and by the Baptist Healthcare System Board of Directors.
Group A-Facility 2 -- Baptist Health Louisville Part V, Section B, line 11:The CHNA committee's purpose was to identify health challenges and risk factors that can be modified or prevented to improve the health of our community. The committee identified and prioritized community needs for the service area that Baptist Health Louisville can address and affect by implementing programs, providing educational support and sponsoring preventive screenings. Based upon the data collected and analyzed through this assessment, the CHNA committee identified the following as the primary health issues that the hospital has focused on over the past three years: mental health services; health equity - heart disease; preventative health screening and opioid reduction.Mental health illnesses and the related health effects on individuals and families was the consensus among the committee as the most pressing community concern. Mental illness has a significant impact on overall health and well-being and can contribute to other health issues such as obesity and substance abuse disorders. Comparing primary data from the survey conducted in 2018 to the results of the survey in 2021 did highlight areas of concern, as there were noted increases in the number of people who have been directly impacted by mental health illnesses and opioid use. The committee members discussed the services Baptist Health Louisville already provides, including the Substance Abuse Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) that provides stabilization, assessment services, treatment options, and IOP group therapy, as well as goals to improve access for outpatient mental health wellness programs. To drive improved quality outcomes for our patients, Baptist Health recognizes the importance of integrating behavioral health care into all aspects of care. We also realize the importance of reducing the stigma of seeking behavioral health care services. As a result, we have expanded access and created new avenues for people to receive care. These efforts include the Baptist Health Behavioral Health Resource Connection hotline and a network of providers who work in collaboration with our treatment teams. Additional behavioral health risk assessment tools and expanded treatment options are embedded into every Baptist Health Medical Group primary care location. The combined efforts of medical professionals, schools, churches and government agencies will contribute to our success in reducing the stigma around mental health care and educating and engaging individuals to seek better care for themselves and their loved ones. Eliminating health disparities that exist for heart health care was identified as the second priority in the CHNA. Kentucky has some of the highest rates in the nation for preventable health conditions and for behaviors that have been identified as unhealthy. Improved access to preventable health screenings via online tools and through collaborations with community partners help achieve greater heart health equity in our communities. To further this goal, Baptist Health provides financial support for clinical staff at the Have a Heart clinic, a local non-profit organization. Opioid abuse has become an epidemic across the country and locally we are seeing a similar surge of opioid usage admissions, emergency room visits and drug-addicted newborns who must be sent to neonatal intensive care units to treat withdrawal symptoms. Opioid abuse has a significant negative impact on overall health and can lead to other co-morbidities. Comparing 2018 to 2021 survey results showed a 20% increase in the number of survey respondents who have been directly impacted, or know someone who has been directly impacted, by opioid abuse. We have worked to reduce the number of opioids prescribed by physicians and are educating our nursing staff on opioid utilization through the development of a hospital opioid stewardship committee. Our providers continue to monitor health trends to ensure compliance with best practices for prescribing opioids and continue to educate patients and family members on the warning signs and dangers of addiction as well as available treatment options. All of these factors support increased efforts to reduce the number of opioids reaching the streets and the continued community-wide initiatives to combat the disease of addiction. We have actively engaged in community education partnerships, working with several local agencies to assist in educating the community. Expanding access to substance abuse services throughout the community and reducing the stigma surrounding treatment are important steps to mitigating this public health crisis.It is not within the scope of Baptist Health Louisville's services, expertise or resources to be able to address all of the risk factors that have been identified as influencers of our community's health status. However, it is through networking, partnerships and collaboration with other community stakeholder organizations and agencies that these issues are being addressed. Increasing communication between community service providers, enhancing the public's awareness of the agencies and services available and promoting assistance provided by local community partners is a common goal of our healthcare and civic leaders. Baptist Health Louisville works collaboratively with other community resources to provide support and to serve as a referral source to address the additional identified health needs that fall below the significant prevalence level for our service area. Impact issues such as unemployment and uninsured populations are being managed by economic development groups, the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, city and county governments and county health departments.

Group A-Facility 4 -- Baptist Health Paducah Part V, Section B, line 5:The Baptist Health Paducah CHNA committee worked closely with a wide variety of community partners and resources to gather, disseminate and prioritize the information needed for the Community Health Needs Assessment. Such a community-driven plan of action engages the public and develops partnerships that help promote wellness and healthier communities. This is the fourth Community Health Needs Assessment conducted by Baptist Health Paducah. This CHNA builds on the research and action plans of the first through third assessments. The service area has been expanded from one county (McCracken) in the first assessment to seven counties in Kentucky and one in Illinois to better identify the needs of the expanded community Baptist Health Paducah serves. The Purchase Area Health Connections Coalition, established several years ago, continues to meet on a regular basis. This group is comprised of representatives from the Purchase District Health Department, which serves Ballard, Carlisle, Fulton, Hickman and McCracken counties in the Purchase Area Development District and the following organizations: the City of Paducah; the UK County Extension Offices; the United Way of Paducah-McCracken County; Murray Calloway County Hospital Four Rivers Behavioral Health; Murray State University; West Kentucky Community & Technical College; KentuckyCare; the Purchase Area Health Education Center; Mercy Health and Baptist Health Paducah. Bringing these groups together promotes unity in our mission and helps to avoid any duplication of efforts in data collection and resource allocation. A survey was sent to community leaders and another was widely publicized and available to the general community both in paper form and through the hospital website. Primary data and feedback on the health issues confronting our service area was collected through the surveys and through engagement with the Purchase Area Health Connections Coalition. Secondary data obtained from national, state and local demographic and socioeconomic sources was used, including Kentucky vital statistics, disease prevalence studies, outcome measures and health indicators and statistics. The most recent data came from the Robert Wood Johnson County Health rankings, which were published in 2020. Data regarding health outcomes, health behaviors, clinical care availability, socioeconomic factors and physical environment risks for each county in Baptist Health Paducah's service area was analyzed.The Community Health Needs Assessment Committee included senior hospital leadership and specific department directors. The committee reviewed the information gathered through the primary and secondary data sources combined with the information obtained through community partners, and the comprehensive list of community health needs were documented. The committee then prioritized how and where Baptist Health Paducah should concentrate its resources over the next three years to most effectively address these pressing health needs that create hardships for our residents and stress on agencies throughout our communities. The final CHNA and SIP were approved by the administrative Board of Directors of the hospital and by the Baptist Healthcare System Board of Directors.
Group A-Facility 4 -- Baptist Health Paducah Part V, Section B, line 11:The CHNA committee's purpose was to identify health challenges and risk factors that can be modified or prevented to improve the health of our community. The committee identified and prioritized community needs for the service area that Baptist Health Paducah can address and affect by implementing programs, providing educational support and sponsoring preventive screenings. After studying the primary and secondary data, the committee prioritized the three most prevalent community health issues based on their severity and on the ability of Baptist Health Paducah and its partners to help improve them. Access to healthcare, the prevention of obesity and related illnesses and the prevention and treatment of mental health and substance abuse were the most prevalent community health concerns.The main health priority identified was ample access to health care. The ability of individuals in a community to access healthcare resources to preserve and improve health is essential. Access to healthcare has an immediate impact on overall health status, the prevention of disease, quality of life and life expectancy. Access to care issues include all potential barriers to receiving necessary healthcare services. These barriers include financial difficulties, lack of knowledge, transportation difficulties, physician shortages, service distribution and scheduling issues. By improving access to care, whether by increasing service locations, reducing cost options, expanding hours of operations or offering new services and innovative programs, the overall health of the community will improve. Baptist Health Paducah and Four Rivers Behavioral Health collaborate to provide school clinics with primary care services and mental health care services for students, faculty, staff, parents and siblings of pupils. These clinics ensure the delivery of quality care on many levels, effectively reducing the spread of illnesses in our community and providing access to quality mental health care for persons challenged with difficult circumstances. Baptist Health Paducah strives to ensure service area residents have sufficient access to health care services through primary care and specialist physician planning with patient navigators that connect patients to appropriate maternal health and oncology services. Conveniently located physician offices and ambulatory care facilities, as well as new and expanded health services; school clinics; the hospital's call center; education resources and healthcare screenings also help improve access to care.Obesity and related illness prevention continue to be primary health concerns in our community. To increase the awareness of obesity as a health threat to our service area residents and to encourage healthier living through diet, exercise and other means remains a top priority. Obesity can cause serious health problems, including Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, asthma, osteoarthritis and several forms of cancer. Failing to diminish obesity in the community will lead to higher mortality rates, increased healthcare costs and a decrease in the quality of life for families in our community. The hospital is providing resources to meet this need through its bariatric surgery and metabolic disease management programs, Project Fit America and GoNoodle fitness programs in area schools, participating in local events to promote education and screenings, and internal programs to improve employees' health. The hospital has collaborated with numerous local agencies to develop the Pat & Jim Brockenborough Rotary Health Park and to implement the CATCH (Coordinated Approach to Child Health) program in Paducah schools.Mental Health and Substance Abuse prevention and treatment continue to be a top health need in our community. Baptist Health Paducah hospital works with Four Rivers Behavioral Health, a private, not-for-profit agency that provides comprehensive, integrated mental health, substance abuse and developmental disability care services. To drive improved quality outcomes for our patients, Baptist Health recognizes the importance of integrating behavioral health care into all aspects of care. We also realize the importance of reducing the stigma of seeking behavioral health care services. As a result, we have expanded access and created new avenues for people to receive care. These efforts include the Baptist Health Behavioral Health Resource Connection hotline and a network of providers who work in collaboration with our treatment teams. Additional behavioral health risk assessment tools and expanded treatment options are embedded into every Baptist Health Medical Group primary care location. The combined efforts of medical professionals, schools, churches and government agencies will contribute to our success in reducing the stigma around mental health care and educating and engaging individuals to seek better care for themselves and their loved ones.The use of illicit drugs or the abuse of prescription or over-the-counter medications for purposes other than those for which they are intended, or in a manner or in quantities other than directed, is a growing problem in the service area. In spite of not having the resources other agencies have to address substance abuse directly, Baptist Health Paducah works to meet the needs of the community in ways that support the efforts of other agencies and care facilities, such as the regional Agency for Substance Abuse Policy Coalition (ASAP), and facilitating the annual Addiction Symposium, which focuses on training clinicians on the physical and mental health issues surrounding addiction. The educational program has been a catalyst to provide caregivers with an increased knowledge of the disease of addiction and the care and resources available for those suffering from this disease.It is not within the scope of Baptist Health Paducah's services, expertise or resources to be able to address all of the risk factors that have been identified as influencers of our community's health status. However, it is through networking, partnerships and collaboration with other community stakeholder organizations and agencies that these issues are being addressed. Increasing communication between community service providers, enhancing the public's awareness of the agencies and services available and promoting assistance provided by local community partners is a common goal of our healthcare and civic leaders. Baptist Health Paducah works collaboratively with other community resources to provide support and to serve as a referral source to address the additional identified health needs that fall below the significant prevalence level for our service area. Impact issues such as unemployment and uninsured populations are being managed by economic development groups, the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, city and county governments and county health departments.

Group A-Facility 5 -- Baptist Health Floyd Part V, Section B, line 5:The Baptist Health Floyd CHNA committee worked closely with a wide variety of community partners and resources to gather, disseminate and prioritize the information needed for the Community Health Needs Assessment. Such a community-driven plan of action engages the public and develops partnerships that help promote wellness and healthier communities. The CHNA committee worked with the New Albany Floyd County School System and the six health departments responsible for the counties Baptist Health Floyd serves: the Clark County Health Department; the Crawford County Health Department; the Floyd County Health Department; the Harrison County Health Department; the Scott County Health Department and the Washington County Health Department. The committee also solicited public opinion on community health needs using a survey distributed via social media and through the Baptist Health Floyd website. Through these contacts, consultations with other community agencies, public surveys and focus groups, Baptist Health Floyd solicited primary feedback on the health issues confronting its service area. Secondary data obtained from national, state and local demographic and socioeconomic sources was used, including Indiana vital statistics, disease prevalence studies, outcome measures and health indicators and statistics. The most recent data came from the Robert Wood Johnson County Health rankings, which were published in 2020. Data regarding health outcomes, health behaviors, clinical care availability, socioeconomic factors and physical environment risks for each county in Baptist Health Floyd's service area was analyzed.The Community Health Needs Assessment Committee included senior hospital leadership and specific department directors. The committee reviewed the information gathered through the primary and secondary data sources combined with the information obtained through community partners, and the comprehensive list of community health needs were documented. The committee then prioritized how and where Baptist Health Floyd should concentrate its resources over the next three years to most effectively address these pressing health needs that create hardships for our residents and stress on agencies throughout our communities. The final CHNA and SIP were approved by the administrative Board of Directors of the hospital and by the Baptist Healthcare System Board of Directors.
Group A-Facility 5 -- Baptist Health Floyd Part V, Section B, line 11:The CHNA committee's purpose was to identify health challenges and risk factors that can be modified or prevented to improve the health of our community. The committee identified and prioritized community needs for the service area that Baptist Health Floyd can address and affect by implementing programs, providing educational support and sponsoring preventive screenings. Community discussions and survey responses identified multiple community needs that were ranked based on the following criteria: magnitude, severity, opportunity to intervene at a prevention level, degree of success in affecting the problem and resources available. The top four community health priorities that were identified are as follows: Cardiovascular disease; mental health; social determinants of health, (food security, transportation and housing) and substance abuse disorders. The committee's highest priority health need was cardiovascular disease, which encompasses coronary artery disease, heart attack, arrhythmias, heart failure, cardiomyopathy and vascular disease. Mortality rates for coronary heart disease are high in several of our communities compared to state and national statistics. Strategies to address the prevention of cardiovascular disease include the promotion of positive behaviors and an active lifestyle, community-wide screenings to educate residents on their risk of cardiovascular disease and sufficient access to healthcare providers. Staff members provided blood pressure screenings and have contributed educational guidance to over 3,000 community members as part of the Nutritional and Physical Activity Coalition. A focus on education, prevention and treatment has been a priority, as the goal is to expand public awareness of disease root causes and commonly associated conditions to increase compliance with standard-of-care protocols and to decrease the occurrence of these health issues. Mental health illnesses and the related health effects on individuals and families was the second most prevalent community health need. Mental illness has a significant impact on overall health and well-being and can contribute to other health issues such as obesity and substance abuse disorders. There are significant increases in the number of people in our communities who have been directly impacted by mental health illnesses and substance abuse. The committee discussed enhanced engagement with Indiana's System of Care, (SOC), county governments and school systems to improve access to, and the quality of, behavioral and mental health services for the youth and families in our community. To drive improved quality outcomes for our patients, Baptist Health recognizes the importance of integrating behavioral health care into all aspects of care. We also realize the importance of reducing the stigma of seeking behavioral health care services. As a result, we have expanded access and created new avenues for people to receive care. These efforts include the Baptist Health Behavioral Health Resource Connection hotline and a network of providers who work in collaboration with our treatment teams. Additional behavioral health risk assessment tools and expanded treatment options are embedded into every Baptist Health Medical Group primary care location. We also manage support groups and provide mental health first aid education resources. The combined efforts of medical professionals, schools, churches and government agencies will contribute to our success in reducing the stigma around mental health care and educating and engaging individuals to seek better care for themselves and their loved ones.Eliminating health disparities that exist for social determinants of health, (food security, transportation and housing) was identified as the third priority in the CHNA. Indiana has some of the highest rates in the nation for preventable health conditions and for behaviors that have been identified as unhealthy. The ability of individuals in a community to access health care resources to preserve and improve health is essential. Improved access to preventable health screenings via online tools and through collaborations with community partners have helped to achieve greater health equity in our communities. The reduction of the risk of chronic diseases and the promotion of a healthy and active lifestyle will help reduce the effects of countless health issues in our communities. One of our goals was to help improve Floyd County residents' access to healthy food and nutrition and to increase health education. Screening tools used to identify food insecurity for Baptist Health Floyd patients, community nutrition and cooking classes, and off-site screenings have helped to promote healthier lifestyles. It is not within the scope of Baptist Health Floyd's services, expertise or resources to be able to address all of the risk factors that have been identified as influencers of our community's health status. However, it is through networking, partnerships and collaboration with other community stakeholder organizations and agencies that these issues are being addressed. Increasing communication between community service providers, enhancing the public's awareness of the agencies and services available and promoting assistance provided by local community partners is a common goal of our healthcare and civic leaders.

Group A-Facility 6 -- Baptist Health Corbin Part V, Section B, line 5:The Baptist Health Corbin CHNA committee worked closely with a wide variety of community partners and resources to gather, disseminate and prioritize the information needed for the Community Health Needs Assessment. Such a community-driven plan of action engages the public and develops partnerships that help promote wellness and healthier communities. There are numerous health departments in the Baptist Health Corbin service area responsible for the counties we serve. The committee evaluated each health department's community improvement plan, and those initiatives were considered throughout the process of determining the goals for the Baptist Health Corbin Community Health Needs Assessment. The CHNA Committee also solicited public opinion on community health needs using a survey distributed via social media, the Baptist Health Corbin website and via email to Baptist Health Corbin patients. Survey responses, coupled with the information from the respective health departments, were considered as primary data. Secondary data obtained from national, state and local demographic and socioeconomic sources was used, including Kentucky vital statistics, disease prevalence studies, outcome measures and health indicators and statistics. The most recent data came from the Robert Wood Johnson County Health rankings, which were published in 2020. Data regarding health outcomes, health behaviors, clinical care availability, socioeconomic factors and physical environment risks for each county in Baptist Health Corbin's service area was analyzed.The Community Health Needs Assessment Committee included senior hospital leadership and specific department directors.

Group A-Facility 6 -- Baptist Health Corbin Part V, Section B, line 11:The CHNA committee's purpose was to identify health challenges and risk factors that can be modified or prevented to improve the health of our community. The committee identified and prioritized community needs for the service area that Baptist Health Corbin can address and affect by implementing programs, providing educational support and sponsoring preventive screenings. After studying the primary and secondary data, the committee identified the top five health concerns that the hospital has focused on over the last three years. They are: opioid abuse; obesity; cancer; cardiovascular disease; mental health and substance abuse. Opioid abuse has become an epidemic across the country. Locally, we are seeing a similar surge of opioid usage admissions and emergency room visits. This health issue is creating additional stress on healthcare and civic agencies throughout the community. Opioid abuse has a significant impact on overall health and can lead to other co-morbidities. In addition, the service area is seeing steady occurrences of drug-addicted newborns that must be sent to neonatal intensive care units to treat withdrawal symptoms. We have worked to reduce the number of opioids prescribed by physicians and are educating our nursing staff on opioid utilization and increasing care options. Our providers continue to monitor health trends to ensure compliance with best practices for prescribing opioids and continue to educate patients and family members on the warning signs and dangers of addiction as well as available treatment options. All of these factors support increased efforts to reduce the number of opioids reaching the streets and the continued community-wide initiatives to combat the disease of addiction. Baptist Health Corbin operates an inpatient Detox Recovery Unit that provides medically managed and monitored detoxification services, an Adult Chemical Dependency Intensive Outpatient Program, and offers medication-assisted therapy (MAT). We have actively engaged in community education partnerships, working with several local agencies to assist in educating the community. Expanding access to substance abuse services throughout the community and reducing the stigma surrounding treatment are important steps to mitigating this public health crisis.Obesity and related illness prevention remain a top community health concern because they have a significant impact on other health issues, including Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, asthma, osteoarthritis, joint deterioration and several forms of cancer. Kentucky has some of the highest rates in the nation for preventable health conditions and for behaviors that have been identified as unhealthy. To increase the awareness of obesity as a health threat to area residents and to encourage healthier living through diet, exercise and other means remains a top priority. To underscore the need to address these issues, Baptist Health Corbin holds heart healthy screening events that provide blood pressure screenings, peripheral vascular disease education and healthy eating tips; offers diabetes management classes and educational materials to community members, and staff members have provided meals to the Corbin Senior Citizens Center. Failing to diminish obesity in the community will lead to higher mortality rates, increased healthcare costs and a decrease in the quality of life for families in our community. Improved access to screening tools, public education and an increased awareness of healthy lifestyle alternatives have helped our community members.Because cancer continues to be a leading cause of death in this service area, the committee ranked it as its third priority in terms of public health issues. Mortality levels from cancer are better in our community than the state and national averages but are still a significant threat. The committee acknowledged the continued need for board-certified oncologists, easier access to cancer-related services and screenings available for the early detection of cancer. Providing world-class cancer care in our community is the focus of Baptist Health Corbin's new radiation oncology center. The center's technology, which includes external beam radiation therapy, is comparable to nearby metro areas where radiation oncology patients were transferred before the center's 2021 opening. Now patients can receive care close to home. Increasing the availability of screenings, providing higher levels of care in our community and disseminating educational materials continue to be a priority.Cardiovascular disease ranked as the committee's fourth priority and encompasses coronary artery disease, heart attack, arrhythmias, heart failure, cardiomyopathy and vascular disease. Strategies to address the prevention of cardiovascular disease have included the promotion of positive behaviors and an active lifestyle, community-wide screenings to educate residents on their risk of cardiovascular disease and sufficient access to healthcare providers. The goal has been to increase public awareness of the disease, its root causes and commonly associated conditions to increase compliance with standard-of-care protocols. Patient transportation is a major issue in the Baptist Health Corbin service area. Many patients do not own automobiles and there are very limited resources for public transportation. The committee continues to explore grant opportunities for providing transportation services to patients in need.It is not within the scope of Baptist Health Corbin's services, expertise or resources to be able to address all of the risk factors that have been identified as influencers of our community's health status. However, it is through networking, partnerships and collaboration with other community stakeholder organizations and agencies that these issues are being addressed. Increasing communication between community service providers, enhancing the public's awareness of the agencies and services available and promoting assistance provided by local community partners is a common goal of our healthcare and civic leaders. Baptist Health Corbin works collaboratively with other community resources to provide support and to serve as a referral source to address the additional identified health needs that fall below the significant prevalence level for our service area. Impact issues such as unemployment and uninsured populations are being managed by economic development groups, the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, city and county governments and county health departments.

Group A-Facility 7 -- Baptist Health La Grange Part V, Section B, line 5:The Baptist Health La Grange CHNA committee worked closely with a wide variety of community partners and resources to gather, disseminate and prioritize the information needed for the Community Health Needs Assessment. Such a community-driven plan of action engages the public and develops partnerships that help promote wellness and healthier communities. To complete the CHNA, the Baptist Health La Grange committee reached out to government and nonprofit leaders in the community to solicit feedback regarding the most pressing community needs. There are three health departments responsible for the counties Baptist Health La Grange serves: the Oldham County Public Health Department (OCHD), the North Central District Health Department (NCDHD), which serves both Henry and Trimble counties and the Three Rivers District Health Department (TRDHD), which serves Carroll County. Baptist Health La Grange also solicited public opinion on community health needs using a survey distributed via social media, the Baptist Health La Grange website, and in paper form. Survey responses, coupled with the information from the respective community leaders and health departments, were considered as primary data. Secondary data obtained from national, state and local demographic and socioeconomic sources was used, including Kentucky vital statistics, disease prevalence studies, outcome measures and health indicators and statistics. The most recent data came from the Robert Wood Johnson County Health rankings, which were published in 2020. Data regarding health outcomes, health behaviors, clinical care availability, socioeconomic factors and physical environment risks for each county in Baptist Health La Grange's service area was analyzed.The Community Health Needs Assessment Committee included senior hospital leadership and specific department directors. The committee reviewed the information gathered through the primary and secondary data sources combined with the information obtained through community partners, and the comprehensive list of community health needs were documented. The committee then prioritized how and where Baptist Health La Grange should concentrate its resources over the next three years to most effectively address these pressing health needs that create hardships for our residents and stress on agencies throughout our communities. The final CHNA and SIP were approved by the administrative Board of Directors of the hospital and by the Baptist Healthcare System Board of Directors.
Group A-Facility 7 -- Baptist Health La Grange Part V, Section B, line 11:The CHNA committee's purpose was to identify health challenges and risk factors that can be modified or prevented to improve the health of our community. The committee identified and prioritized community needs for the service area that Baptist Health La Grange can address and affect by implementing programs, providing educational support and sponsoring preventive screenings. The committee identified several community health issues, the top four that we have focused on are obesity, cancer, maternal and child health and mental and behavioral health.The prevention of obesity and the illnesses related to obesity are the primary health concerns in our community. Obesity has a significant impact on other health issues such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, pulmonary disease, cancer and joint deterioration. There are a variety of reasons why obesity is difficult to combat - a lack of access to healthy foods, the higher costs of healthy foods, sedentary populations, a lack of exercise options and poor dietary habits. It is incumbent for the hospital and the community to make a concerted effort to increase the awareness of obesity as a serious health threat to our service area residents and to encourage healthier living through diet, exercise and other means. Failing to diminish obesity in the community will lead to higher mortality rates, increased healthcare costs and a decrease in the quality of life for families in our community. Improved access to screening tools, public education and awareness of healthy lifestyle alternatives have helped. We partner with the Hope Health Clinic to provide financial support and educational materials that address topics related to obesity and use the National Diabetes Prevention Program to support healthy lifestyles.As cancer continues to be a leading cause of death in this service area, the committee ranked it as its second priority in terms of public health issues. Oldham County mortality levels are better than the state and national averages but are still a significant threat. The committee acknowledged the continued need for board-certified oncologists, easier access to cancer-related services and screenings available for the early detection of cancer. Baptist Health La Grange has made great advancements in oncology care since the last Community Health Needs Assessment and has expanded upon current services and care offerings. Our teams have provided support for oncology patients with food insecurity and provided transportation assistance for patients in need. Patients also benefit from online risk assessments and educational materials.Maternal and Child Health was identified as a high priority need based on the review of the secondary data. Low birth weight, teen births and children in single parent households, along with high infant mortality rates are issues effecting the primary service area. Providing mothers and infant caregivers with information to influence common factors that can affect infant mortality has been important. Discharge instructions to educate parents and caregivers on safe infant sleep practices, pre-natal monitoring for health risks of the mother and the baby and post-partum checks have helped to manage these health risks.Mental and behavioral health illnesses and their related health effects on individuals and families was identified as a pressing community need. The secondary data shows that mortality related to mental and behavioral health disorders for every county in the service area is above the national and state incidence rate. Mental illness has a significant impact on overall health and well-being and can contribute to other health issues such as obesity and substance abuse disorders. To drive improved quality outcomes for our patients, Baptist Health recognizes the importance of integrating behavioral health care into all aspects of care. We also realize the importance of reducing the stigma of seeking behavioral health care services. As a result, we have improved access to outpatient mental health wellness programs and additional risk assessment tools, expanded treatment options, and participate in the Oldham County Mental Health Task Force, helping patients navigate new avenues to receive care. These efforts also include the Baptist Health Behavioral Health Resource Connection hotline and a network of providers who work in collaboration with our treatment teams. Additional behavioral health risk assessment tools and expanded treatment options are embedded into every Baptist Health Medical Group primary care location. The combined efforts of medical professionals, schools, churches and government agencies will contribute to our success in reducing the stigma around mental health care and educating and engaging individuals to seek better care for themselves and their loved ones. It is not within the scope of Baptist Health La Grange's services, expertise or resources to be able to address all of the risk factors that have been identified as influencers of our community's health status. However, it is through networking, partnerships and collaboration with other community stakeholder organizations and agencies that these issues are being addressed.

Group A-Facility 8 -- Baptist Health Richmond Part V, Section B, line 5:The Baptist Health Richmond CHNA Committee worked closely with a wide variety of community partners and resources to gather, disseminate and prioritize the information needed for the Community Health Needs Assessment. Such a community-driven plan of action engages the public and develops partnerships that help promote wellness and healthier communities. The Madison County Health Department is responsible for the county Baptist Health Richmond serves. The Health Department's Community Improvement Plan and initiatives were considered throughout the process of determining the goals for the Baptist Health Richmond Community Health Needs Assessment. The CHNA committee also solicited public opinion on community health needs using a survey distributed via social media, the Baptist Health Richmond website and via email to Baptist Health Richmond patients. Survey responses, coupled with the information from the health department, were considered as primary data. Secondary data obtained from national, state and local demographic and socioeconomic sources was used, including Kentucky vital statistics, disease prevalence studies, outcome measures and health indicators and statistics. The most recent data came from the Robert Wood Johnson County Health rankings, which were published in 2020. Data regarding health outcomes, health behaviors, clinical care availability, socioeconomic factors and physical environment risks for each county in Baptist Health Richmond's service area was analyzed.The Community Health Needs Assessment Committee included senior hospital leadership and specific department directors.

Group A-Facility 8 -- Baptist Health Richmond Part V, Section B, line 11:The CHNA committee's purpose was to identify health challenges and risk factors that can be modified or prevented to improve the health of our community. The committee identified and prioritized community needs for the service area that Baptist Health Richmond can address and affect by implementing programs, providing educational support and sponsoring preventive screenings. The committee identified a number of pressing community health issues and has focused on the following over the past three years: behavioral health and substance abuse, social determinants of health and obesity and healthy lifestyles. Baptist Health Richmond made behavioral health a priority as the community need continues to increase. The committee ranked expanding access to these services as the most important community health initiative. The newly completed Thrive Center at Baptist Health Richmond, a $5.5 million behavioral health inpatient and outpatient expansion project, provides an interdisciplinary team approach to behavioral health care for patients and their families. Our team members include psychiatrists, registered nurses, licensed clinical counselors, therapists and social workers, recreational therapists and mental health technicians. Services include psychiatric evaluation and treatment; 24 hour nursing care; individual, group and family therapy and psychoeducation; individualized treatment and aftercare planning; therapeutic recreational activities; access to peer support and case management, and referrals to community resources. Crisis behavioral health consultations are also available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in the Clinical Decision Unit within the Baptist Health Richmond Emergency Department. This unit is a newly renovated space designed to provide a safe, private environment for patients experiencing a mental health crisis. Additional behavioral health risk assessment tools and expanded treatment options are embedded into every Baptist Health Medical Group primary care location. The combined efforts of medical professionals, schools, churches and government agencies will contribute to our success in reducing the stigma around mental health care and educating and engaging individuals to seek better care for themselves and their loved ones. The committee ranked opioid abuse as their second priority in terms of public health issues. Opioid abuse has become an epidemic across the country, and locally we are seeing a similar surge of opioid emergency room visits and usage admissions. Opioid abuse has an impact on overall health and can lead to other co-morbidities. The hospital continues to offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for addiction treatment; operates an Adult Chemical Dependency Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) that provides stabilization and assessment services, treatment options, and IOP group therapy; employs a Behavioral Health Community Outreach Navigator that develops relationships between the hospital and community members and agencies that helps to facilitate education and prevention resources and offers pharmacist-led tobacco cessation clinics. Obesity was one of the top personal health challenges identified by the survey, and remains a significant threat to the health of our community. The state of Kentucky is known for having one of the worst ratings in the United States for obesity and Kentucky has some of the highest rates in the nation for preventable health conditions and behaviors that have been identified as unhealthy. There are a variety of reasons why obesity is difficult to combat - a lack of access to healthy foods, the higher costs of healthy foods, sedentary populations, a lack of exercise options and poor dietary habits. Obesity contributes to so many other health issues (heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, osteoporosis, joint deterioration, cancer, etc), that it is incumbent for the hospital and the community to make a concerted effort to curb this health issue. We are working to ensure that residents have access to a primary care physician, outpatient nutritional counseling and disease management programs for diabetes and related health issues. Continuing to improve access to screening tools, public education and public awareness of healthy lifestyle alternatives help our community members in measurable ways.Social determinants of health are increasingly becoming a major issue in Richmond and Madison County. Many people in the community are without safe housing, transportation and access to nutritious foods. These issues inevitably lead to a decrease in the quality of a person's health. Baptist Health Richmond has many patients whose poor health began with social determinants that could have been prevented with more community resources. Through the combined efforts of medical professionals, schools, churches and government agencies, we help to educate and engage individuals to better care for themselves and their families and to utilize available support options. Baptist Health Richmond employs a Community Liaison staff member that provides resources to patients and community members that address social drivers of health and staff members operate and donate to local food pantries to aid those in need. An increased awareness of the importance of the early detection and prevention of disease through screening programs also improves the health of our community members. It is not within the scope of Baptist Health Richmond's services, expertise or resources to be able to address all of the risk factors that have been identified as influencers of our community's health status. However, it is through networking, partnerships and collaboration with other community stakeholder organizations and agencies that these issues are being addressed. Increasing communication between community service providers, enhancing the public's awareness of the agencies and services available and promoting assistance provided by local community partners is a common goal of our healthcare and civic leaders. Baptist Health Richmond works collaboratively with other community resources to provide support and to serve as a referral source to address the additional identified health needs that fall below the significant prevalence level for our service area.

Group A-Facility 3 -- Baptist Health Hardin Part V, Section B, line 5:This was the first Community Health Needs Assessment conducted by Baptist Health Hardin. (Hardin Memorial Health, a county-owned hospital, was acquired by Baptist Healthcare System in September 2020). The Baptist Health Hardin CHNA committee worked closely with a wide variety of community partners and resources to gather, disseminate and prioritize the information needed for the Community Health Needs Assessment. Such a community-driven plan of action engages the public and develops partnerships that help promote wellness and healthier communities. The CHNA Committee formed a community health coalition with other healthcare, civic, governmental and educational organizations in the area to share resources and work collaboratively to identify and address the medical and socioeconomic factors affecting the health of the people in our community. Baptist Health Hardin solicited public opinion on community health needs through a survey distributed via social media and the Baptist Health Hardin website and took measures to ensure that the survey would be distributed to reach a representative sample of the population, including demographic groups often underrepresented in public data gathering. The Lincoln Trail District Health Department, a strong community partner with the hospital that serves a six-county area including Hardin, LaRue, Marion, Meade, Nelson and Washington counties was a valuable resource for this CHNA. The department provides environmental, preventive, curative and health maintenance services to our community through direct healthcare, health education, counseling and the enforcement of laws that protect health and the environment. Through these contacts and public surveys, Baptist Health Hardin collected primary data and feedback on the health issues confronting its service area. Survey responses, coupled with information from the area health departments and community partners, were considered as primary data. Secondary data obtained from national, state and local demographic and socioeconomic sources was used, including Kentucky vital statistics, disease prevalence studies, outcome measures and health indicators and statistics. The most recent data came from the Robert Wood Johnson County Health rankings, which were published in 2020. Data regarding health outcomes, health behaviors, clinical care availability, socioeconomic factors and physical environment risks for each county in Baptist Health Hardin's service area was analyzed.The Community Health Needs Assessment Committee included senior hospital leadership and specific department directors. The committee reviewed the information gathered through the primary and secondary data sources combined with the information obtained through community partners, and the comprehensive list of community health needs were documented. The committee then prioritized how and where Baptist Health Hardin should concentrate its resources over the next three years to most effectively address these pressing health needs that create hardships for our residents and stress on agencies throughout our communities. The final CHNA and SIP were approved by the administrative Board of Directors of the hospital and by the Baptist Healthcare System Board of Directors.
Group A-Facility 3 -- Baptist Health Hardin Part V, Section B, line 11:The CHNA committee's purpose was to identify health challenges and risk factors that can be modified or prevented to improve the health of our community. The committee identified and prioritized community needs for the service area that Baptist Health Hardin can address and affect by implementing programs, providing educational support and sponsoring preventive screenings. Based upon the data collected and analyzed through this assessment, the CHNA committee identified the following as the primary health issues that the hospital will focus on over the next three years: smoking/vaping/lung cancer; obesity; mental health/substance abuse and access to healthcare services.Tobacco use and many of the known health results of tobacco use, (heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure and cancer), were included in the top ten health concerns in the community. Nine of the ten counties in the service area have very high adult smoking rates and significantly higher occurrences of lung cancer. Hardin County has an astonishing 38% of adults who smoke. Baptist Health Hardin has a long history of providing tobacco cessation classes, health screenings and educational resources for community members and continues to lead in this area. Staff members provided anti-vaping educational assistance to over 2,300 public school students, and as a member of the Coalition for a Smoke-Free Tomorrow, Baptist Health is working to improve Kentuckians' health by reducing the high rate of smoking and tobacco use in Kentucky. Currently, the group is advocating for local control, allowing cities and counties to adopt ordinances that govern the sale and usage of tobacco products in their communities. Tobacco use is the proximate cause of numerous health issues, including several types of cancer, emphysema, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), heart disease and stroke. Reducing smoking will have a direct positive impact on our community members.Obesity was the top personal health challenge identified by the survey, and the fourth highest health concern in the community. Only one county in the service area had a lower percentage of obesity than the state of Kentucky as a whole, which is known for having one of the worst ratings in the United States for obesity. There are a variety of reasons why obesity is difficult to combat - a lack of access to healthy foods, the higher costs of healthy foods, sedentary populations, a lack of exercise options and poor dietary habits. Obesity contributes to so many other health issues (heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, osteoporosis, joint deterioration, cancer, etc), that it is incumbent for the hospital and the community to continue to make a concerted effort to curb this health issue. Staff members participated in a collection of food for local food pantries and continue to promote access to screening tools, public education and awareness of healthy lifestyle alternatives. There were a variety of markers that led to the choice of mental health and substance abuse as top health issues for the community. Mental/behavioral health and substance abuse were the two biggest health concerns on the public survey. More than 26.7% of survey respondents indicated they had 'high or 'very high' levels of stress. Almost 18% rate their own mental health as 'fair or 'unhealthy and over 40% said that the mental health of the community is 'unhealthy or 'very unhealthy'. Substance abuse is a common crisis throughout the state and within our community. Baptist Health Hardin has an inpatient behavioral health unit and there is another psychiatric hospital in Hardin County (Lincoln Trail Behavioral Health System), but expanding the availability of mental health care treatment is a vital need. Baptist Health hired a new physician that is board certified in addiction medicine to offer additional treatment options for our patients. To drive improved quality outcomes for our patients, Baptist Health recognizes the importance of integrating behavioral health care into all aspects of care. We also realize the importance of reducing the stigma of seeking behavioral health care services. As a result, we have improved access to outpatient mental health wellness programs and additional risk assessment tools, and expanded treatment options, giving patients new avenues to receive care. These efforts include the Baptist Health Behavioral Health Resource Connection hotline and a network of providers who work in collaboration with our treatment teams. Additional behavioral health risk assessment tools and expanded treatment options are embedded into every Baptist Health Medical Group primary care location. The combined efforts of medical professionals, schools, churches and government agencies will contribute to our success in reducing the stigma around mental health care and educating and engaging individuals to seek better care for themselves and their loved ones. The hospital will also continue to partner with other local resources to combat these complex issues.Access to healthcare was also one of the top health concerns in the community. Baptist Health Hardin has a very low admission rate of patients who come to their Emergency Department, which indicates that patients do not see a primary care physician in a timely manner. This is an area that Baptist Health Hardin and the Baptist Health Medical Group continue to address through the expansion of services and staff. Construction on the new Medical Pavilion directly to the northwest of the hospital was completed in the fall of 2024 and houses a comprehensive cancer center, twelve new surgical suites including a hybrid operating room, three new cardiac cath labs, multidisciplinary outpatient clinics, and patient-centered spaces designed to promote emotional and spiritual wellness. Active recruitment of additional primary care physicians and advanced care providers, coupled with easier access to more services and providers, is helping significantly to address these community health concerns.It is not within the scope of Baptist Health Hardin's services, expertise or resources to be able to address all of the risk factors that have been identified as influencers of our community's health status. However, it is through networking, partnerships and collaboration with other community stakeholder organizations and agencies that these issues are being addressed. Increasing communication between community service providers, enhancing the public's awareness of the agencies and services available and promoting assistance provided by local community partners is a common goal of our healthcare and civic leaders. Baptist Health Hardin works collaboratively with other community resources to provide support and to serve as a referral source to address the additional identified health needs that fall below the significant prevalence level for our service area. Impact issues such as unemployment and uninsured populations are being managed by economic development groups, the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, city and county governments and county health departments.

A full FAP discount represents gross charges less the amount paid by all other healthcare resources and, as applicable, any uninsured discounts or contractual discounts with third-party payers. Refunds will be made if a patient pays more than is owed under this calculation. A patient or guarantor whose income plus liquid assets is between 301% and 400% of the current Federal Poverty Guideline for his or her family size is eligible for a 50% discount of the amount for which the patient or guarantor is responsible, after all other healthcare resources have been utilized and exhausted (until that time, the application is to be pended). A partial FAP discount represents gross charges less the amount paid by all other healthcare resources and, as applicable, any uninsured discounts or contractual discounts with third-party payers.

Gross Medicaid patient charges and Medicaid net patient service revenue are as reported on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, (CMS), cost reports.Subsidized services are calculated using patient level cost accounting information. All patient segments, payer plans and clinical services are separately identified and factored in to the calculations. The cost of charity care, bad debts and Medicaid are removed from the calculation of the loss on subsidized services.Much care is taken to ensure that costs used for community benefit reporting are directly related to exempt-purpose patient care and that costs are reported accurately.
Part I, Line 7g:SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES:In order to meet the health and wellness needs of our communities throughout Kentucky and southern Indiana, Baptist Healthcare System, (BHS), provides grants to Baptist Health Medical Group, Inc., (BHMG), a nonprofit Section 501(c)(3) entity that is organized and operated to provide healthcare facilities and services.

Form 990, Schedule H, Part I, Line 6AEach hospital within Baptist Healthcare System, Inc. (BHS), (61-0444707), prepares a Community Benefit Report. In addition, a summary Community Benefit Report is prepared on a consolidated basis for all entities.
Part II, Community Building Activities:COMMUNITY SUPPORT: The entire Baptist Health organization is committed to our mission to positively impact the health of our communities. We are dedicated to clinical excellence, patient safety and continued growth to best meet the needs of our patients and the unique needs of each of the communities we serve. We believe it is our responsibility to improve the health and wellness of our communities through a continuum of accessible healthcare, effective community education and the continuous quality improvement of our services in a manner that is financially responsible in the structure and delivery of healthcare services. Our providers remain focused on helping people get well and stay well. We strive to maintain the highest quality safety standards; we seek new outreach and wellness initiatives to create a culture of health in each community; we grow our programs and facilities to make comprehensive care more accessible; we embrace new research and clinical trials and seek new opportunities to connect with our patients through comprehensive, safe and personalized care. In 2024 Baptist Health celebrated 100 years of caring with over 175 days of service that flowed into each of our communities. During centennial year celebration events alone, our volunteer efforts reached over 11,000 individuals through health screenings, clean-up events, food drives, educational events and blood drives. COALITION BUILDING: As a not-for-profit health care provider, Baptist Health has made a commitment to our communities to provide care and services that go far beyond what is expected of a hospital, including charity care, education, community partnerships and a wide variety of special programs and services. Improving the health of those in our communities at a grassroots level requires partnerships with other like-minded local and national organizations to further enhance and support successful initiatives and programs. Working together with our community partners allows us to maximize the scope of assistance we can all provide, as well as the collective impact. During centennial celebration events, Baptist Health collaborated with over 85 community agencies to provide care in our local communities. Baptist Health regularly partners with county, city and state health departments and leaders; local schools and universities; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC); the Kentucky and Indiana Hospital Associations, and other healthcare providers. COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT ADVOCACY: Baptist Health continues to offer a variety of outreach programs across our communities, including educational classes, health screenings, health fairs, support groups and coalitions with local schools and government agencies that align with our mission, vision, and values. Baptist Health's Wellness team is constantly seeking new opportunities to change the health of our communities for the better, one individual at a time. The team creates a culture of health and accountability, effectively engaging participants to reach their health and wellness goals. Baptist Health's innovative, award-winning wellness programs include smoking-cessation classes, substance abuse education, weight-management programs, diabetes prevention, nutritional health, stress management and physical activity programs. Dozens of support groups are offered in our communities that allow for expert-lead discussions in a caring environment, fostering a sense of connection and community among the participants. Baptist Health places great importance on educational and preventive programs, recognizing that knowledge is critical to the health of our communities. Classes are available in person and virtually, and cover a wide range of health-related topics from childbirth to advanced care planning. Increasing awareness of prevention and early detection opportunities is vital to our neighbors, especially in underserved communities. Preventative screenings and advanced diagnostic testing are available at all Baptist Health hospitals. During centennial year celebration special events, over 1,600 community members were screened for heart disease; over 330 were screened for colon cancer; over 420 were screened for stroke and high blood pressure; more than 360 flu shots were administered and 350 units of blood were collected to meet local needs. More than 300 volunteers participated in the cleanup of a local park, highlighting the physical and mental benefits of being outdoors, and nearly 1,500 participants learned how to prevent falls and strengthen bones during orthopedic screenings and education sessions. RESEARCH: At Baptist Health, our leadership in clinical research is directly linked to our organizational mission to best serve the healthcare needs of patients and communities across Kentucky and Southern Indiana. Our ability to better understand and more effectively diagnose, monitor, treat and prevent disease hinges upon vigorous research programs and the commitment of healthcare organizations like Baptist Health. Medical research represents the future of healthcare, and we recognize the potential for immediate and future health benefits by offering our patients the opportunity to participate in clinical trials. Our goal is to provide the latest innovations and the newest treatment options in a community-based setting.Baptist Health research teams offer services that are vital to the success of clinical research that include: coordinating the participation in federal and commercially sponsored research trials; matching patients to trials and studies administered through Baptist Health; collaborating with other hospitals and treatment centers to find the best possible fit between patients and research initiatives; screening patients daily to provide treatment options that go beyond standard levels of care and providing treatments that are offered close to home, allowing patients to remain near family and trusted care providers. Baptist Health clinicians are participating in numerous clinical studies including Phase I, II, III, and IV trials, as well as PASS investigational drugs, devices, biospecimen research, observational studies, and investigational procedures. Therapeutic areas of current research include cardiology, hematology, infectious diseases, nephrology, neurology, obstetrics/gynecology, oncology, orthopedics, pediatrics/neonatology, toxicology and pulmonary diseases. Cancer research continues to grow through the Baptist Health Cancer Research Network, (BHCRN). The BHCRN is a collaborative effort among caregivers, administrators and patients to improve cancer care through research, and to support patient access to National Cancer Institute (NCI) sponsored oncology research trials at facilities throughout Kentucky and neighboring states. The BHCRN offers Phase II, Phase III and quality-of-life trials for a variety of cancers, including breast, lung and lymphoma. Results of these trials are shared with the U.S. FDA.The BHCRN selects trials based on patient population and physician interest; develops a quality monitoring system to assure compliance with National Cancer Institute (NCI) guidelines; ensures proper researcher training and is committed to working with the NCI and the Guardian Research Network (GRN) to bring a broader range of clinical trials to the network. The GRN is a nationwide consortium of high-performing community health systems that created a breakthrough platform to accelerate cures for cancer. The network's objectives are to identify and place patients into clinical trials as quickly as possible, cutting crucial weeks and months off enrollment timelines. The network also houses a searchable database that reports comprehensive data and testing results.Baptist Health received national recognition for participation in the CREST-2 registry, who's primary objective is to promote rapid enrollment into randomized clinical trials for the treatment of carotid artery occlusive disease, a leading cause of strokes. Sponsored by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) through the NIH, the principal investigator for the trial is a cardiologist at Baptist Health Lexington, which is the top enroller among over 100 locations participating in the trial. BH Lexington has the specific resources available to treat the most complex stroke cases and has been designated as a Comprehensive Stroke Center, (CSC), by the American Heart Association. It is one of only four hospitals in Kentucky to receive this high level of certification.Clinical research expands the knowledge and experience of our care providers, allowing us to gain a better understanding of effective treatments. The research studies of today can become the standard treatments of tomorrow.
Part III, Line 2:BAD DEBT EXPENSE:As a result of certain changes required by Accounting Standards Update(ASU) 2014-09, the majority of Baptist Health's provision for uncollectible accounts is recorded as a direct reduction to net patient service revenue instead of being presented as a separate line on the consolidated statements of operations. The core principle of the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. For Baptist Health's healthcare operations, the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 resulted in changes to the presentation for and disclosure of revenue related to uninsured and underinsured patients. Under ASU No. 2014-09, the estimated uncollectible amounts due from these patients are generally considered an implicit price concession and are a direct reduction to patient service revenue.
Part III, Line 3:OTHER BAD DEBT REPORTED IN COMMUNITY BENEFIT:No other bad debt amounts have been included as community benefit. The hospital educates patients with limited ability to pay regarding financial assistance and for this reason, the organization believes it accurately captures all charity care deductions provided according to the financial assistance policy, and the amount of bad debt expense attributable to patients eligible under the organization's charity care policy is negligible.
Part III, Line 4:BAD DEBT EXPENSE FOOTNOTE:A separate footnote for bad debt expense is not included in the audited financial statements. However, beginning in 2012 Baptist Health reported the provision for uncollectible accounts related to patient service revenue as a deduction from patient service revenue. The costing methodology of bad debt is outlined in Schedule H, Part VI, Line 1.
Part III, Line 8:MEDICARE COSTING METHODOLOGYMedicare revenues and allowable costs were taken from the "as filed" Medicare cost report. Much care is taken to ensure that all adjustments to remove non-allowable costs are taken. Due to the fact that Medicare rates are non-negotiable and are established by the government, all of the shortfall for Medicare should be included as a community benefit.
Part III, Line 9b:COLLECTION PRACTICES:No individual determined to be eligible for financial assistance will be billed for more than the amount specified in the Financial Assistance Policy (FAP)and if an overpayment is made on hospital accounts, it will be refunded. Patients or guarantors who have an ability to pay for medical services and who have been determined to be ineligible for financial assistance or have not submitted an application for assistance under the FAP will be billed based on the following guidelines: - Patients or guarantors may be provided an opportunity to pay an estimated patient liability at point of service. - Baptist Health will accept and file claims for all insurances assigned to the organization with adequate proof of coverage. This assignment does not relieve the patient or guarantor of responsibility for payment if the third-party payer fails to pay as prescribed by regulation, statute or patient-insurance contract. Deductibles, co-payments and non-covered services will be the responsibility of patient or guarantor. - Billing statements will be sent to the guarantor once patient liability is determined for insured or uninsured patients and necessary billing follow-up telephone calls will be made by a Baptist Health call center staff member and/or a designated external early out vendor for at least 120 days. If applicable, efforts will be made to assist uninsured patients to secure coverage through any governmental or other assistance programs. - Patients requesting detailed charge information will be provided an itemized bill. Baptist Health Patient Financial Services will provide all patients the same information concerning services and charges.- Patient accounts not resolved at the end of this period will be considered for referral to external collection agencies subject to requirements and limitations. Collection agencies will pursue patient balances while maintaining compliance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the ACA International's Code of Ethics and Professional Responsibility.
Part VI, Line 2:NEEDS ASSESSMENT:In compliance with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, Baptist Health conducts a tri-annual planning process that is driven by our mission to improve the health of our communities and the strategic vision to be the health care leader in Kentucky and Indiana. Key industry and community issues, (such as prominent health conditions prevalent within each community, medically underserved areas and underprovided clinical services), are considered and analyzed for their impact on each of our eight hospitals, our entire system of healthcare providers, and most importantly, our communities and patients. Community partners work with each hospital to define immediate and long-term health needs that must be addressed, as well as effective development goals, plans and strategies to improve the health of our communities. These goals help us to effectively allocate both human and financial resources and are foundational to our patient care focus.The Community Health Needs Assessment and the Strategic Implementation Plans are shared with and approved by the administrative Board of Directors of each hospital and the System Board of Directors.
Part VI, Line 3:PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE:The following is a list of various methods/processes used to inform/educate patients on the availability of financial assistance: - Financial counselors advise and/or screen uninsured patients before or during hospital services, - A third party vendor advises and/or screens uninsured patients during hospital services, - Financial counselors provide follow-up contact for patients missed during services, - The state-sponsored DSH form is provided to all Emergency Department uninsured patients, - Telephone calls and in-person visits are handled by staff trained to discuss financial assistance, - Information regarding financial assistance is included in patient statements. - The Baptist Health sponsored charity care program policy is posted in key areas of each hospital and on the website of each hospital and the System.

Part VI, Line 5:PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH:The Baptist Health Board of Directors is comprised of local representatives who, along with the System's management and employees, understand the responsibility of providing high quality health care services to the communities we serve. Operating healthcare facilities in our current environment requires a delicate balance between producing a sufficient margin to allow for adequate staffing and investment in new facilities and technologies, while also providing enough resources to absorb the cost of care for patients who do not have the ability to pay for services. During fiscal year 2024, Baptist Health was able to re-invest over $359 million into our communities in new technology, construction, renovations and systems improvements. The quantifiable amount of community benefits provided by Baptist Health does not capture the economic benefit of Baptist Health being one of the largest employers in the state. Employee wages have a substantial impact on local economies, influencing expenditures on food, housing, services, and other goods.Baptist Health reaches out to the community in many ways through: - Hosting educational programs that include pre-natal, CPR, and smoking cessation classes; AED training; nutrition, fitness, substance abuse and safe sitter programs. - Promoting and providing preventive and early diagnostic care services. - Conducting health fairs for local schools, businesses and churches. - Participating in fund-raising and other events to help local agencies such as the American Heart Association, Metro United Way, American Cancer Society, Dare to Care, and the American Red Cross. - Providing resources for support groups and donating hospital space for community group meetings. - Participating on community health assessment teams dedicated to identifying and addressing local health needs in each of the counties we serve. - Maintaining necessary but unprofitable services that meet community needs. - Helping to recruit physicians to underserved areas and extending medical staff privileges to qualified physicians.- Helping patients coordinate services with other healthcare providers. - Monitoring clinical outcomes to ensure quality care and committing resources to improve safety and processes of care. - Providing services conveniently accessible by patients. - Mentoring students to promote healthcare careers.To celebrate Baptist Health's 100 years of service, Baptist Health team members committed to 100 days service to commemorate this milestone achievement and the Baptist Health legacy of exceptional care. We surpassed that goal and completed 176 days of service, reaching over 11,000 community members through health fairs, screening and educational events, local clean-up efforts, food drives and healthcare career camps. Baptist Health employees donated over 80,000 baby items to 10 community partners; staff members cleaned up local parks and donated over 650 backpacks and pairs of new shoes to local schoolchildren.Baptist Health Hardin, in collaboration with United Way of Central Kentucky, helped clean up a local elementary school. Volunteers removed weeds, trimmed landscaping, mulched and painted in preparation for the start of the new school year. The effort focused attention on the importance of providing a healthy environment for students to learn and grow, and that each individual can make a difference in their community.Several Baptist Health service areas ranked food insecurity as one of their most pressing health concerns. Recognizing that providing access to healthy food is an essential healthcare service, Baptist Health collaborated with Feeding America to offer healthcare screenings and Baptist Health employees donated over $35,000 in cash and food supplies to local agencies such as Dare to Care and Helping Hand of Hope.Baptist Health Richmond, the Ignite Academy of Madison County and the Eastern Kentucky University College of Health Sciences partnered to host The Medical Explorers Academy. This new program offers high school students comprehensive learning experiences that concentrate on healthcare careers, while fostering the necessary skills to become proficient clinicians.Baptist Health's support for community activities underscores its commitment to improving the lives of those served. Because Baptist Health and its employees contribute so much of their time, talent and resources to serve others, communities served by Baptist Health are better places to live and work. Baptist Health remains committed to investing in diverse initiatives focused on improving the quality and accessibility of healthcare in our communities. Our goal is to deliver personalized care that is both efficient and proactive. In June of 2024, Baptist Health La Grange opened a nearly $10 million Behavioral Health Unit that significantly expands access to mental health services. This unit has the only publicly available inpatient behavioral health beds in Oldham, Henry, Trimble, Carroll or Shelby counties in Kentucky, and includes private rooms, a secure outdoor area and dedicated space for specialized therapy. The unit also provides critically needed outpatient resources that compliment inpatient treatment and reduce readmission rates.Baptist Health Hamburg, a $250 million development in Lexington opened in April 2024. The facilities were designed to focus on comprehensive and convenient patient care in a setting of healing and hope. The Hamburg campus includes an ambulatory surgery center, an emergency department, a cancer center, a pharmacy, a physician office complex, a wide scope of specialty and diagnostic services and nearly two miles of walking trails.In December 2023, Baptist Health Floyd hospital opened a Level II NICU, a dedicated pediatric wing, and a Heart Failure clinic. Welcomed by families in our community, the Level II NICU has kept over 200 babies closer to their parents and families while receiving high-quality neonatal intensive care.To address the growing need for nonemergency transportation services that exists in most of our service areas, Baptist Health has expanded the medical transport services offered to patients transferring from the hospital to other healthcare facilities and to patients returning home. Facilitating nonemergency transportation is a valuable service for our patients and lends critical support to our local emergency services partners by increasing their availability and capacity for emergency, lifesaving care.Throughout the COVID-19 epidemic, Baptist Health played a lead role in advising state and local leaders as they developed policies that would ensure the safety of patients, healthcare staff, first responders, childcare workers, nursing home residents and the community at large. Baptist Health leaders continue to foster these important alliances with state and local governments, community leaders, executives from other health systems and the Kentucky and Indiana Hospital Associations as the effects of the pandemic continue to influence healthcare operations and our communities. Navigating the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the growth and development of innovations in the delivery of healthcare services that will positively affect how care is provided in the future. Baptist Health continuously monitors COVID-19 and other public health data, statistics, trends, clinical information and research in order to reevaluate current policies and procedures so that we can maintain the highest safety standards and provide peak levels of care to our patients in any public health emergency.The Internal Revenue Service Revenue Ruling 69-545 provides that a hospital can demonstrate it has met the community benefit standard by having a full-time emergency room open to the public regardless of ability to pay for services received. All Baptist Health hospitals operate emergency departments that are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. During fiscal year 2024, Baptist Health emergency departments treated over 396,000 patients. Each emergency department posts the Baptist Health policy stating that patients will be treated regardless of their ability to pay. Depending on the severity of a patient's condition, as a service to the patient, Baptist Health may verify insurance prior to rendering services in the emergency department. Under no circumstances is emergency care delayed by discussions regarding insurance coverage or the ability to pay for services. In addition, Baptist Health does not convey or intimate in any way to any emergency medical transportation service an unwillingness to treat any patient in need of medical attention.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4a, Description of Program Services:Since its inception in 1924, Baptist Healthcare System, Inc. ("Baptist Health") has been dedicated to providing accessible, quality healthcare to all patients regardless of their ability to pay. The hospitals owned and operated by Baptist Healthcare System, Inc. under tax identification number 61-0444707 include: Baptist Health Louisville, located in Louisville, Kentucky; Baptist Health Corbin, located in Corbin, Kentucky; Baptist Health Lexington, located in Lexington, Kentucky; Baptist Health Paducah, located in Paducah, Kentucky; Baptist Health La Grange, located in La Grange, Kentucky, Baptist Health Richmond, located in Richmond, Kentucky, Baptist Health Hardin, located in Elizabethtown, Kentucky and Baptist Health Floyd, located in New Albany, Indiana. MISSION: As indicated by its mission statement, "Baptist Health demonstrates the love of Christ by providing and coordinating care and improving health in our communities", Baptist Health endeavors to faithfully continue its Christian heritage of service. Baptist Health is organized and operated exclusively for the benefit of each community that we serve, and each hospital is considered a respected and valuable community asset. Over the last 100 years, Baptist Health has earned a strong reputation for providing compassionate, safe, high quality, cost efficient, and patient-friendly care. The Baptist Health Board of Directors is comprised of local representatives who, along with the Systems' management and employees, understand that they are responsible to their communities for providing the highest quality healthcare services to enhance the physical, emotional and spiritual health and well-being of all. Both the mission and vision of Baptist Health are engrained into the culture of the entire organization. Baptist Health will live out its Christ-centered mission and achieve its vision guided by integrity, respect, stewardship, excellence, collaboration, compassion and joy. VISION: The vision of Baptist Health is to be the premier source for healthcare in Kentucky and Indiana, leading in clinical excellence, providing compassionate care and pursuing a growth model that best meets the needs of our communities and our patients. Our goal is to provide efficient, effective and affordable high-value services through dedicated, skilled teams that are focused on clinical excellence, and more importantly, the people in the communities we serve. The Baptist Health family includes more than 480 points of care at eight wholly owned and two joint venture acute care hospitals; three freestanding emergency departments; over 100 clinic and diagnostic locations and more than 370 physician offices and treatment facilities; offering inpatient, outpatient, urgent care, home and hospice care, rehab and many other services. Baptist Health services are available in 39 Kentucky counties, six counties in Illinois and six counties in southern Indiana. Our physician network of more than 3,200 employed and affiliated physicians, representing over 78 specialties, continues to grow as we strive to improve access to healthcare and enhance the health of the communities that we serve. To ensure that Baptist Health is prepared to meet the growing needs of its communities and is well positioned for the next generation of healthcare, we are working to build on our high-quality and accessible network of care. This multifaceted strategy will enhance existing facilities, build upon our sustainability goals, expand the availability of services and provide a locally convenient continuum of care. Investing in the areas where patients live, work and play - and want to receive care - will help Baptist Health have an even greater and more positive impact on the health of the populations we serve. Because of our strong reputation for providing high-quality patient care that utilizes the latest in medical technology and a vast network of community access points of care, patients seek out Baptist Health facilities for their health and wellness needs. According to state statistics for the period ended 9/30/2024, Baptist Health is one of the largest healthcare providers in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, providing more services than any other health system. KENTUCKY FY 2024 HOSPITAL STATISTICS: LICENSED BEDS: 2,301 beds - the second largest number of beds of any health system in Kentucky. EMPLOYEES: 21,334 employees during fiscal year 2024 - one of the top employers in Kentucky. INPATIENT CARE: 94,290 admissions/451,108 days - the largest number of admissions in Kentucky at a system-owned or managed hospital. One out of every six inpatients receiving care in Kentucky received care at a system-owned or managed hospital. OBSTETRIC (DELIVERIES): 12,955 babies - the largest number of babies delivered in Kentucky at a system-owned or managed hospital. Almost one in four babies in Kentucky was delivered at a Baptist Health owned or managed hospital. EMERGENCY VISITS: 396,645 registrations - the largest number of emergency visits in Kentucky at a system-owned or managed hospital. One in seven Emergency Department patients was treated at a system-owned or managed hospital. OUTPATIENT VISITS: 2,309,887 hospital visits - one in six outpatients in Kentucky receiving care in an acute-care setting was seen at a system-owned or managed hospital. RESPONSIVE TO COMMUNITY NEEDS: Operating healthcare facilities in today's environment requires a delicate balance between producing a sufficient margin to allow for adequate staffing and an investment in new technologies, while also providing enough resources to absorb the cost of care for those patients who do not have the ability to pay for the services. During the 2024 fiscal year, Baptist Health was able to re-invest over $359 million into our communities in new technology, construction, renovation and systems improvements. Because of the need to generate a modest margin while caring for all patients, Baptist Health strives to fulfill its community responsibility of collecting appropriate reimbursement from all patients who have the necessary resources while providing a generous, yet accountable charity care policy to assist those patients who do not have the means to pay for the services rendered. (See "Charity Care Policy" later in this section for further discussion). Baptist Health facilities consistently provide the highest levels of quality care to every patient and improve the health of the people it serves through health and educational programs, health screenings, medical research, community engagement and the training of health professionals. OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS INCLUDE: - Maintaining necessary, but unprofitable services that meet community needs - Helping to recruit physicians to underserved areas - Helping patients coordinate services with other healthcare providers - Providing resources for support groups - Promoting and providing preventive care services - Monitoring clinical outcomes in order to ensure quality care - Committing resources to improving safety and processes of care - Providing services that are conveniently accessible by patients - Working with state and local agencies and governments to safely and effectively respond to public health emergencies. In addition, Baptist Health employees volunteer thousands of hours in community services and leadership. Baptist Health's support for community activities underscores its commitment to improving the lives of those served. Baptist Health celebrated 100 years of service and caring with 176 days of service in our local communities. Baptist Health staff and providers interacted with nearly 11,000 community members, performed over 2,400 health screenings, collected over 350 units of blood, donated over $35,000 of food and cash to local food banks, donated over 650 pairs of shoes and backpacks to school children, delivered over 80,000 donated baby care items to new mothers and supporting agencies, introduced more than 100 students to healthcare careers and partnered with over 85 local agencies to serve our communities. Because Baptist Health and its employees contribute so much of their time, talent and resources to serve others, communities served by Baptist Health are better places to live and work. Quantification of many of the community benefits is detailed later in this section. However, what the Statement of Program Service Accomplishments doesn't measure is the economic benefit derived by each community from Baptist Health being one of the largest employers in the state. The local economic impact of the wages paid to Baptist Health employees is significant considering the dollars that are spent on food, housing, services and other products.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4aCHARITY CARE POLICY: To further the Baptist Health mission of enhancing the health and wellness of the people and communities it serves, Baptist Health provides medically necessary inpatient and outpatient care to patients regardless of race, religion, sex, national origin, disability, age or their ability to pay. Baptist Health offers charity care, discounts, and other financial assistance to eligible patients who may not have the financial ability to pay for medically necessary health care services and who otherwise may not be able to receive such services. Baptist Health relies solely on the physician order to determine whether treatment is medically necessary and whether the patient is treated on an inpatient or outpatient basis. Neither the patient's financial condition nor their ability to pay for services has any bearing upon whether, or how, the patient is treated in a Baptist Health facility. Patients are transferred only when Baptist Health does not provide the specialized service that is medically required, or by specific request of the patient. Baptist Health has notices posted throughout the hospital that clearly communicate Baptist Health's charity care policy. Baptist Health employees are instructed in the application of the charity care policy and are trained to recognize situations that indicate the financial resources of a patient may be inadequate. These employees freely and willingly volunteer information regarding the charity care policy to any patient who may express a concern regarding the ability to pay for services. The policy provides that: -- A patient or guarantor whose income plus liquid assets is less than or equal to 300% of the current Federal Poverty Guideline for his or her family size is eligible for a full discount under the Financial Assistance Policy (FAP) after all other healthcare resources have been utilized and exhausted. -- A patient or guarantor whose income plus liquid assets is between 301% and 400% of the current Federal Poverty Guideline for his or her family size is eligible for a 50% discount of the amount for which the patient or guarantor is responsible, after all other healthcare resources have been utilized and exhausted. -- All uninsured patients receiving emergency or medically necessary care are given a discount from gross charges that limits payment responsibility to the amounts generally billed (AGB) by each hospital. Insured patients receiving emergency or medically necessary care that is not allowed by the patient's insurance policy may also be given a discount from gross charges that limits payment responsibility to the amounts generally billed (AGB) by each hospital. If eligible for a discount under the FAP, a patient or guarantor will receive the discount regardless of whether he or she pays or has paid the balance on the billing statement, provided all other healthcare resources are first exhausted. Under no circumstances will an individual who is determined to be eligible for either full or partial financial assistance be charged more for emergency or other medically necessary care than the amounts generally billed (AGB) to individuals who have insurance covering such care. In accordance with the provisions of Section 501(r), if charity care eligibility cannot be determined, good stewardship requires that the hospital initially begin the collection process. However, immediately upon determining that the guarantor is eligible for charity care, collection efforts on the balance eligible for charity will cease and the appropriate balance will be designated as charity. TAX-EXEMPT STATUS REQUIREMENTS: The Internal Revenue Service Revenue Ruling 69-545 provides that a hospital can demonstrate it has met the community benefit standard by having a full-time emergency room open to the public regardless of a patient's ability to pay for services received. All Baptist Healthcare System hospitals operate emergency departments that are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Over 396,000 emergency patients were treated during fiscal year 2024. Baptist Health facilities and emergency departments post policies stating that patients will be treated regardless of their ability to pay. Depending on the severity of a patient's condition, as a service to the patient, Baptist Health may verify insurance prior to rendering services in the emergency department. Under no circumstances is emergency care delayed by discussions regarding insurance coverage or ability to pay for services. In addition, Baptist Health does not convey or intimate in any way to any emergency medical transportation service an unwillingness to treat any person in need of medical attention. ACCOUNTABILITY TO THE BROADER COMMUNITY: The Baptist Health Board of Directors embraces its responsibility to represent the broader community and guide Baptist Health in delivering healthcare services. The Board meets periodically to provide oversight and strategic direction on how to best serve each community. Regularly scheduled meetings of the full Board and its Committees are as follows: Board of Directors Quarterly Audit & Enterprise Risk Committee Quarterly Executive Committee As needed Compensation Committee As needed Finance Committee Monthly Governance Effectiveness Committee Quarterly Safety, Quality and Patient Experience Committee Quarterly
Continued:One of the key functions of the Board of Directors is to ensure that Baptist Health not only utilizes sound financial management but also embraces a culture of compliance that permeates throughout our entire healthcare system. This is best demonstrated by Baptist Health's commitment of resources for compliance activities, including the designation of a Compliance Officer. The compliance function reports to the Audit & Enterprise Risk Committee (established in 1994) which is comprised of three independent members of the Board who are not members of the Finance Committee. Additionally, at least one member has the expertise to be considered a financial expert in the public sector. Another key function of the Board is to ensure that compensation paid to executives is reasonable and meets the guidelines set forth by the Internal Revenue Service. Through the Compensation Committee, (CC), the Board ensures that: 1) members of the CC do not have any conflicts of interest, i.e., they are not employed or receive compensation subject to approval by the executives, 2) the compensation is approved in advance by the CC, 3) the CC obtains and relies upon appropriate comparability data in making decisions, 4) every form of compensation and benefit is included in the comparisons, 5) the CC documents the basis for its decision concurrently with making the decision, and 6) based upon the data, the compensation is reasonable. The following is a summary of Baptist Health's community service for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024, in terms of services to the poor and indigent and the benefits provided to the communities it serves. QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT: As a not-for-profit health care provider, Baptist Health made a vow to the communities we serve to provide care and services that go far beyond what is expected of a hospital, including charity care, education, community involvement and partnerships, and a wide variety of special programs and services. Baptist Health is fully committed to its responsibility as a charitable organization and allocates extensive resources to fulfill that obligation to the community. To commemorate Baptist Health's centennial year, management and staff choose service as the most effective means to support our local communities. We prioritize giving back to our patients in need, assisting our staff through difficult times, providing opportunities for higher education to employees, advancing our service lines with updated technology and equipment, making healthcare services more easily accessible and more. Baptist Health supports community clinics that serve the disadvantaged and aids local agencies in tackling social issues such as food insecurity, addiction, and physical and sexual abuse. We help in small ways close to home by vaccinating residents in underserved neighborhoods, providing needed supplies to new mothers and school children, setting up and donating to food pantries, honoring veterans, and praying for our communities. It's our way of pulling together, and giving back. To the extent possible, Baptist Health has quantified the benefits provided to the communities it serves: Benefits for the Poor and Indigent: Unreimbursed Cost of Charity Care $83,293,000 Benefits for the Broader Community: Net Loss on Subsidized Health Services $ 233,257,000 Community Health Improvement Services 4,887,000 Health Professions Education 4,586,000 Financial & In-Kind Contributions 4,496,000 --------------- Total Benefits for the Community $ 247,226,000 ---------------- Total Quantifiable Community Benefit $ 330,519,000 GLOSSARY OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT TERMS: BENEFITS FOR THE POOR AND INDIGENT: Describes services provided to persons who cannot afford healthcare because of inadequate resources and/or who are uninsured or underinsured. This includes those patients that qualify for Charity, Medicaid, Kentucky's Children Health Insurance Program (KCHIP), Kentucky Hospital Care Program (KHCP) and other persons whose income is inadequate (based on each patient's individual circumstances). 1. Unreimbursed cost of charity care describes the services provided to persons who cannot afford to pay. It also includes the Health Care Provider Tax (Kentucky Revised Statutes 142.303) that is assessed on all hospital patient revenues received for the purpose of funding state Medicaid, KHCP and KCHIP programs. The amounts reflect the net cost of these services after reducing the costs for contributions and other revenues received by Baptist Health as direct assistance for the provision of care. 2. Unreimbursed cost of Medicaid reflects costs of treating Medicaid beneficiaries not reimbursed by government programs. BENEFITS FOR THE BROADER COMMUNITY: Describes services provided to other needy populations that may not qualify as indigent but that need special services and support. The benefits include the cost of health promotion and education, health clinics and screenings, and medical research that benefits the community. 1. Net loss on subsidized health services reflects the loss from services that would be discontinued if the decision were based on profit motives only. 2. Other community benefit includes costs incurred by Baptist Health to provide support and coordination of health education and awareness events as well as the cost of employees paid time to attend, staff, and coordinate these activities. 3. Baptist Health makes cash and in-kind donations to respected community agencies and to special funds used for charitable purposes.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 2GOVERNING BODY BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS: The Board of Directors is made up of executives from related organizations. The following individual has a business relationship in that he serves on the Board of Directors of the organization and is an officer and/or director of a related organization: Gerard Colman.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11bFORM 990 REVIEW PROCESS: The internally prepared Form 990 is reviewed by an outside accounting firm. A copy of the IRS Form 990 is provided to the Board of Directors prior to the filing of the return. Any questions or comments are addressed by explanation or a change to the form.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cDESCRIPTION OF PROCESS TO MONITOR TRANSACTIONS FOR CONFLICTS OF INTEREST: A conflict of interest is any circumstance, relationship, (financial or otherwise), activity or decision made in the course of governance, management or professional responsibilities or otherwise, that adversely influences or appears to adversely influence the ability of a covered person, (any director, officer, non-director member of a committee with governing board delegated powers or other person in a similar position of authority over BHS, including executive management and medical staff presidents) to: 1) make objective decisions on behalf of BHS and/or 2) act in the best interests of BHS in a manner consistent with the tax-exempt purposes of BHS. Each BHS covered person shall annually complete and furnish to the BHS Chief Legal Officer a conflict of interest questionnaire listing then-known existing and potential conflicts of interest. Such statement shall affirm that the person has received a copy of the BHS Conflict of Interest policy, has read and understands this policy, has agreed to comply with this policy, and understands that BHS is a charitable organization and that in order to maintain its federal tax exemption, it must engage primarily in activities which accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt purposes. The fact that a conflict of interest questionnaire has been completed does not relieve an individual of the duty to disclose a conflict of interest before action is taken on any contract, transaction, or arrangement to which that conflict of interest may be relevant. The completed questionnaires are reviewed by the Board of Directors or the Governance Effectiveness Committee for any potential conflicts. The Board or Committee will determine by a majority vote of disinterested directors whether the disclosed financial or special interest may result in a conflict of interest. If, subsequent to completion of the annual questionnaire, any covered person becomes aware of a financial or special interest that could give rise to a conflict of interest with respect to a proposed contract, transaction, or arrangement involving BHS, the covered person will promptly disclose the interest.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15COMPENSATION DETERMINATION PROCESS: Annually in December, the BHS Compensation Committee reviews the compensation, including base compensation and incentive compensation, for the CEO and all officers and key employees of BHS. The BHS Compensation Committee is comprised of independent Board Members. The Committee retains a Compensation Consultant to advise the Committee and who provides data as to comparable compensation for similarly qualified persons in functionally comparable positions at similarly situated healthcare organizations. The Committee reviews this information in approving annual base and incentive compensation and other items of reportable compensation described on Schedule J of the IRS Form 990. The decisions of the Committee regarding compensation are contemporaneously documented in the minutes of the Committee. Annually, the Committee Chairperson and the Compensation Consultant provide a report on executive compensation to the full Board of Directors of BHS.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19AVAILABILITY OF GOVERNING DOCUMENTS, CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, & FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO GENERAL PUBLIC: In adherence to the Master Trust Indenture among Baptist Healthcare System, Inc., Baptist Health Medical Group, Inc. and U.S. Bank National Association, as Master Trustee, dated as of April 1, 2022, BHS reports its financial results on a quarterly basis to the Master Trustee who in turn makes them available through Electronic Municipal Market Access. Additionally, the organization will provide any documents open to public inspection upon request.
