Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.	The funds are to be used to improve the health and welfare of the patients of Ephrata Community Hospital.
Part X : FIN48 Footnote	In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of Fasb Statement No. 109, Accounting for income Taxes (FIN 48), which creates a single model to address uncertainty in tax positions and clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. Under the requirements of FIN 48, tax-exempt organizations could now be required to record an obligation as a result of a tax position they have historically taken or various tax exposure items. Prior to FIN 48, the determination of when to record a liability for tax exposure was based on whether a liability was considered probable and reasonably estimable in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. On July 1, 2007, the parent company, WellSpan Health, adopted FIN 48. WellSpan Health determined that it does not have any uncertain tax positions through June 30, 2017.

Part V, Line 5 - Account Input from Persons Who Represent the Community	The healthcare environment in Lancaster County and its associated historical partnerships has resulted in WellSpan-Ephrata Community Hospital participating in two separate Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) processes in Lancaster County. First, WellSpan-Ephrata Community Hospital maintained its partnership with the Lancaster Health Improvement Partnership (LHIP) and its partner organizations to conduct an ongoing CHNA across the county. Using the Conduent-Healthy Communities Initiative model, these entities regularly collect available secondary data on diverse topics including: community demographics; health behaviors and conditions; vital statistics, and; community conditions (i.e., air and water quality). Public health experts and various community stakeholders review this data and provide comments and recommendations based on county data and the clients they represent. The individuals consulted with represent diverse sectors of the Lancaster County community including: mental health; city and county government; health care organizations; the state health department; nursing homes; public health entities; homeless facilities; pregnancy services; faith-based, low-income service agencies; the local chamber of commerce; chronic disease and health-related organizations (HIV prevention; cancer prevention; immunization), and; racial/ethnic community-based organizations. In addition, to better understand the health needs of its service market, WellSpan-Ephrata Community Hospital Community conducted a CHNA with other WellSpan Health entities across its region, with a focus on the primary market served by WellSpan-Ephrata Community Hospital. Information collected through the CHNA was then shared with diverse community stakeholders to educate about current needs, identify areas of focus, and garner collective support for future strategy development and implementation. Community organizations represented included: Cocalico Area Senior Center; Ephrata Area School District; Ephrata Area Senior Center; Ephrata Chamber of Commerce; Ephrata Community Hospital Foundation; Good Samaritan Shelter; Philhaven; WellSpan Medical Group, and; Welsh Mountain Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). In addition, an individual representing the local Plain Population participated in the process. CHNA data is revisited regularly to guide implementation strategies and progress toward achieving identified Community Health Implementation Plan (CHIP) objectives.
Part V, Line 6a - List Other Hospital Facilities that Jointly Conducted Needs Assessment	County-wide CHNA - Lancaster General Hospital; Lancaster Rehabilitation Hospital; Women & Babies HospitalEphrata market-specific CHNA: Gettysburg Hospital (Adams); Good Samaritan Hospital (Lebanon), and; WellSpan Surgery and Rehabilitation Hospital and York Hospital (York)
Part V, Line 11 - Explanation of Needs Not Addressed and Reasons Why	In reviewing the top twenty indicators detected in the CHNA, many are related to the root causes of chronic diseases that are addressed by our two adopted focus areas. There are other areas that are not addressed by the hospital's action plan. Some indicators go beyond the scope of a community hospital's services, such as workers who drive alone to work, unemployed workers in civilian labor force, and households without a vehicle. In these cases the hospital would lack an effective approach to elicit any meaningful impact.
Part V, Line 13b - Criteria For Providing Discounted Care If Not FPG	Patients 401% of poverty level and greater do not qualify for financial assistance. However, all uninsured patients qualify for a 20% "no insurance" discount, regardless of income.
Part V, Line 13h - Other Factors Used in Determing Amounts Charged Patients	WellSpan Health is committed to caring for all the members of its communities, regardless of their ability to pay. In recent years, overall charity care has decreased slightly as more people have obtained health insurance coverage through the Affordable Care Act and the expansion of Pennsylvanias Medical Assistance (Medicaid) program. WellSpan is proud to be a leading partner in the Healthy Community Network, which works to address the needs of uninsured and underinsured individuals in our community. In addition, the health system recently enhanced its financial assistance policy and the discounts that it provides on services. For example, if a patients income is less than 300 percent of the federal poverty level, that patient would be eligible for a 100 percent discount on the services provided. Additionally, significant discounts are available for patients whose income is between 300 percent and 400 percent of the federal poverty level. For more information on WellSpans Financial Assistance program, visit www.WellSpan.org/FinancialAssistance.
Part V, Line 16i - Other Means Hospital Facility Publicized the Policy	In an effort to make patients, families and others in our communities aware of the newly expanded Financial Assistance Policy, WellSpan broadly publicized its policy via promotional signage and the distribution of easy-to-read informational materials at registration sites throughout our communities. WellSpan provided information on the Financial Assistance Policy on its billing statements and included information in patient discharge materials. In addition, the materials and information are easily accessible via WellSpans website at www.WellSpan.org/FinancialAssistance. The site reflects WellSpans newly enhanced policy, as well as informational and application materials. It was also publicized via WellSpans on-hold phone messaging system and in its direct-to-consumer community newsletter/magazine, which is distributed by mail, email and Web. In addition, WellSpan placed posters and signage at its various sites of care to publicize its Financial Assistance Policy. Printed copies of WellSpan Healths entire financial assistance policy and the plain language summary of the policy, both of which are available in English and Spanish, may be obtained at no cost by visiting or calling one of the WellSpan patient financial services offices.
Part V, Line 22d - Other Billing Determination of Individuals Without Insurance	WellSpan Health will provide assistance to all patients whose income falls within 400 percent of the federal poverty guidelines and within the asset limits listed on Attachment A. Those patients qualifying for financial assistance will receive a discount based on the amount generally billed (AGB), which is applicable to the facility at which services were provided. The AGB is calculated by the look-back method, in accordance with IRS Regulation 501(r). This is based on payment received from Medical Assistance and all private payors, in the most recent completed fiscal year.

Part I, Line 3c - Charity Care Eligibility Criteria (FPG Is Not Used)	Patients 401% of poverty level and greater do not qualify for financial assistance. However, all uninsured patients qualify for a 20% "no insurance" discount, regardless of income.
Part I, Line 6a - Related Organization Community Benefit Report	Community Benefit Information is included in the Community Benefit Report for WellSpan Health.
Part III, Line 2 - Methodology Used To Estimate Bad Debt Expense	The number was calculated using the cost to charge ratio factor applied against actual patient bad debt write-offs. These numbers are included after all efforts have been exhausted to determine if the patient meets our charity care write-off policy based on federal poverty levels.
Part III, Line 3 - Methodology of Estimated Amount & Rationale for Including in Community Benefit	The estimate of bad debt attributable to charity care policy was calculated by dividing the bad debt amount that was originally coded bad debt but later found to qualify as charity care by the amount coded to the charity care write-off codes. This ratio is applied to the bad debt cost factor expense.
Part III, Line 4 - Bad Debt Expense	Ephrata Community Hospital provides an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the unwillingness or inability of patients to make payments for services. The allowance is determined by analyzing specific accounts and historical data and trends. Patient accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts, when management determines that recovery is unlikely, and ECH ceases collection efforts. Losses have been consistent with management's expectations in all material respects.
Part III, Line 8 - Explanation Of Shortfall As Community Benefit	Ephrata Community Hospital maintains records to identify and monitor the level of charity care and community service it provides. These records include the amount of charges forgone based on established rates for services and supplies furnished under its charity care and community service policies and the estimated cost of these services. Payments from Medicare are generally less than Ephrata Community Hospital's costs of providing the service.
Part III, Line 9b - Provisions On Collection Practices For Qualified Patients	Guidelines for suggested minimum number of phone attempts and letters to be sent before the account is turned over to an outside collection agency are included in the Patient Administrative Services Policy. Upon final PARO (Payment Assistance Rank Ordering) scoring, if a patient qualifies for presumptive charity, their account would not be forwarded to any third party collections. It shall be the policy of Patient Administrative Services to recommend accounts to Bad Debt on a timely basis. Inpatient/Outpatient accounts will go to bad debt automatically after the account has been in the financial class Pending Bad Debt for 30 days. All accounts must follow the approved limits for refunds and write offs, as established in Policy PF-102, before being transferred. The primary agencies will work the accounts for 6 months or until they feel it is uncollectable and return the account. The accounts are forwarded to secondary agencies from the primary agencies Closed and Return Reports. The financial class is changed to Bad Debt Other after the Closed and Return Reports are received from the Secondary Agency. The agencies must get written approval from the manager in the relatively rare instance of legal action being taken to collect the debt.
Part VI - Needs Assessment	As noted, WellSpan-Ephrata Community Hospital conducted two Community Health Needs Assessments (CHNA) in the 2016 tax year. The first, a county-wide CHNA, was conducted in partnership with the Lancaster Health Improvement Partnership (LHIP) and its partner organizations using the Conduent-Healthy Communities Initiative model. These entities regularly collect available secondary data on diverse topics including: community demographics; health behaviors and conditions; vital statistics, and; community conditions (i.e., air and water quality), and share it with community members through its organizational websites. The current county-wide CHNA may be found on the WellSpan Health website (www.wellspan.org). In addition, results are annually shared at the Lancaster Health Summit, a partnership between LHIP and the Lancaster County Business Group of Health.After its affiliation with WellSpan Health, a regional health care system, WellSpan-Ephrata Community Hospital (WECH) engaged in the next iteration of the system-wide CHNA process. This process, refined after being conducted in York and Adams counties for 20 years, enabled WECH to obtain data about its primary market, share it with key community, hospital and system leaders, and integrate it into the system-wide and entity-level planning processes. Through the consulting support of the Floyd Institute for Public Policy at Franklin and Marshall College. a representative sample of 729 adults residents in the greater Ephrata (Northern Lancaster County) area were interviewed between February 23 and May 5, 2015 using survey questions derived from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), a validated survey tool utilized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and organized into four categories: healthcare access, behavioral risk, health conditions, and prevention behaviors and context. Supplemental secondary data from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) annual County Health Rankings and from the Pennsylvania Department of Health was compiled and integrated into the 2015 CHNA. Data collected and analyzed by the Floyd Institute for Public Policy included breakdowns by age, gender, geographic area, race/ethnicity, and income level, and enabled the development of charts/graphs focused on: quantity of residents affected; health risks and disability-adjusted life years; correlates of obesity and depression (two significant health priorities); health disparities, and; social determinants of health impact. This information is included in the 2015 Community Health Needs Assessment Summary Report available at www.wellspan.org. In 2015, CHNA results and related priorities identified by WellSpan-Ephrata Community Hospital and its community partners were shared with the system-wide Planning Committee at WellSpan Health. This Committee is comprised of community members and leaders that represent each of WellSpans primary entities and service areas, in addition to corporate leadership. Planning Committee members reviewed the CHNA data, adopted WECHs community priorities of adult overweight/obesity, and depression/mental health while also identifying two additional priorities: access related to gaps in care caused by high-deductible insurance plans and the emerging opioid misuse and abuse issue facing the community. These priorities and associated data were subsequently presented to the WellSpan-Ephrata Community Hospital Board for their adoption. CHNA results were made available to the public on the WellSpan Health (www.wellspan.org) website, and may also be obtained upon request.
Part VI - Explanation Of How Organization Furthers Its Exempt Purpose	Through its various locations in the greater Ephrata community, WellSpan-Ephrata Community Hospital provides a range of wellness and health education programs designed to address key CHNA findings and to promote healthy lifestyles and disease prevention. These programs include: health screenings; diabetes education; nutrition and weight management counseling; tobacco cessation; CPR and first aid instruction; support groups; immunizations; community health fair participation, and; health education through newsletters and local television media. Many of these programs are offered for free or at a minimal cost to the participant. One example of a unique community-based partnership in which WellSpan-Ephrata Community Hospital continues to engage local children is implementation of the GO Ephrata! summer physical activity program. Through a partnership with the Ephrata Public Library and its Summer Reading Club, WellSpan-Ephrata Community Hospital annually encourages children and their families to be physically active during the summer months by participating in an adaptation of letterboxing, an international hobby where participants use written clues to find items hidden in various places. During fiscal year 2017, 850 children participated in the GO Ephrata! program, and 262 participants (30.8%) submitted their program rubbing sheets and collectively walked a total of 1,128 miles. This successful summer program partnership has resulted in WellSpan-Ephrata Community Hospital and Ephrata Public Library collaborating with other community partners to develop a community hub at the library. This hub will serve as a resource center for residents desiring connections with community and social service organizations located in Lancaster City, approximately 16 miles away. WellSpan-Ephrata Community Hospital continued improving its strong safety net of services that enables access to care among vulnerable populations through: supporting transition of the local Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) Welsh Mountain to a connected electronic health record (EHR) platform; enrolling financially-challenged community members in Healthy Community Network, a partnership between WellSpan Health, physicians and community partners to support prospective enrollment, the management and support of patients, and coordination of care, and; expanding Prescription for Caring into the Ephrata region.Supporting the behavioral health needs of populations is vital to how WellSpan-Ephrata Community Hospital operates in the local community. Through a partnership between WECH, WellSpan Philhaven, and a local Target store, a sensory-friendly Christmas shopping experience was offered to Lancaster County families who have autistic children. Target staff participated in a sensory integration training session prior to the event, and clinicians were on hand to assist families attending the event. Opioid use, as in other communities across the United States, has become a crisis in the Ephrata area. WellSpan Health staff regularly participate in Ephrata Cares, a local initiative to combat this community health issue, developed by the Ephrata Borough Mayor, and on the regional Opioid Aware coalition, a regional multi-sector collaborative seeking to create coordinated messaging, outreach and management of opioid users in southcentral Pennsylvania. Additionally, WellSpan-Ephrata Community Hospital participated in system-wide initiatives to address the shared community health priorities of depression (mental health), advanced care planning, and adult overweight/obesity. The Feeling Blue depression awareness campaign (www.feeling-blue.com) originated as a resource for York and Adams County adults suffering from mild depression. In 2015, Feeling Blue expanded to the Ephrata area and continues to be a valuable resource to community members. WellSpan-Ephrata Community Hospital also partnered with the county-wide Lets Talk Lancaster mental health initiative and collaborated to: enhance collaborations among health care providers, consumers, families, and caregivers; reduce the stigma related to mental illness, and; improve consumer access to prevention, screening, treatment and recovery services. WellSpan-Ephrata Community Hospital also supported the education of greater Ephrata area residents about end-of-life planning and care, or Horizon Planning as it is termed locally, and celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Early Bird Walkers program, a weekly initiative that combines physical activity, health education, and camaraderie. One participant now in her 90s has regularly participated in the program since its inception. In addition, WellSpan Health celebrated the 5th anniversary of its regional 10Lb. Throwdown initiative, a 10-week community challenge that encourages participants to lose or maintain a healthy weight through healthier eating and increased physical activity. The initiative was created to address the growing issue of adult overweight/obesity, and utilizes a core website (www.10poundthrowdown.com) to encourage team participation and to offer an online weight tracker, badges to encourage healthier choices, and diverse health education resources. More than 6200 community members across four southcentral Pennsylvania counties Adams, Lancaster, Lebanon, and York participated in the 2017 iteration of the 10Lb. Throwdown program; this represents a 66.5% increase over the prior years program enrollment. WellSpan-Ephrata Community Hospital served as a resource for students considering a healthcare career as well as those enrolled in healthcare training programs. Job shadowing opportunities and clinical training placements were available within hospital departments. In addition, the Ephrata Community Health Foundation assisted in raising funds to support community health and clinical initiatives of WellSpan-Ephrata Community Hospital, such as the Prescription for Caring fund to help community members who need financial assistance with medications. Additional examples of how WellSpan-Ephrata Community Hospital fulfilled its community mission in the greater Ephrata (Northern Lancaster County) area may be found in the 2017 WellSpan Community Benefit Report Its What Neighbors Do available online at www.wellspan.org.
Part VI - Affilated Health Care System Roles and Promotion	WellSpan Health is an integrated health system serving the communities of southcentral Pennsylvania and northern Maryland. As a community-based, not-for-profit organization, WellSpan is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of the people it serves.

Explanation	All WellSpan entities follow WellSpan policies and procedures regarding grant projects to ensure that the use of grant funds are consistent with WellSpan's commitment to endeavor to improve the health status of the communities that we serve.The WellSpan foundations are supporting organizations and substantially all of the grants and other assistance they make furthers the exempt purposes of their "supported organizations", each of which are exempt affiliated organizations within the WellSpan Health system. Because the supported organizations identify the projects and exempt activities that will be funded by the foundations' grants and other assistance, and because there is a cross-over between the respective governing bodies and management of the foundations and their supported organizations, the foundations are able to effectively monitor that the grants they make are used for their intended purposes.
