| Desc | Northeast Georgia Medical Center (NGMC) provides a comprehensive range of acute care and specialty services through two campuses: a 100-bed hospital in Braselton and a 557-bed regional referral hospital in Gainesville. NGMC serves the area's low-income, uninsured, underinsured and other vulnerable populations. NGMC Gainesville serves as the regional safety net hospital, with approximately half of its patients coming from outside of Hall County. As a not-for-profit hospital, NGMC reinvests all funds in excess of operating expenses into healthcare services for the community. The Medical Center receives no tax revenue from Hall or other counties served, and services are funded by revenue generated from operations. **See Schedule O for Program Service Accomplishments Continuation** | Desc |

| Northeast Georgia Medical Center, Inc. | Part V, Section B, Line 5: The hospital considered input from representatives of the community served by the hospital facility, including those with special knowledge of or expertise in public health via focus groups and key stakeholder interviews. Four focus groups (one for each NGMC service area), collectively comprised of forty-six (46) participants and twenty-eight (28) key informant interviews, were conducted in March and April 2016. Additional input from over 200 low income, Latino, and uninsured residents was also gathered by a bilingual interview team who fielded a short questionnaire in Hall County at one of three locations: the Hall County Health Department, mostly at the prenatal clinic - a service for low-income expectant women; the Good News Clinics, which provides medical and dental care to low-income, uninsured county residents; and at public housing operated by Gainesville Housing Authority. NGHS Senior Leaders were also significantly involved in feedback. A complete listing of interview and focus group participants and the communities and populations served is located in Appendix F of the CHNA. |
| Northeast Georgia Medical Center, Inc. | Part V, Section B, Line 11: How NGMC is addressing significant needs identified in the 2016 CHNA is outlined in the CHNA implementation plan. The reason why all of the health needs identified are not being addressed is because NGMC had to take into consideration the staffing, funding and other resources needed to make an impact on identified health needs, and NGMC knew if it did not focus in on 3 - 5 specific health needs, it would not be able to truly make an impact over the next three years. There are also other health and human service organizations working on issues such as child abuse and neglect.The full text of the implementation strategy is posted at the following url : https://www.nghs.com/fullpanel/uploads/files/chna-outcome-measures-with-links-on-title-page.pdf. |

| Part I, Line 3c: | Patients who are determined to be indigent, determined by criteria-based methods, such as propensity to pay or health scores, participation in low income government assistance programs, etc. may be presumptively eligible for assistance, providing they cooperate with screening for other financial assistance resources (e.g. Medicaid or disability), as applicable. |
| Part I, Line 6a: | The Community Benefit report is published by Northeast Georgia Health System and includes programs for Northeast Georgia Medical Center and its affiliates. The report is available on the organization's website (www.nghs.com) as well as in its Annual Communicare Magazine. |
| Part I, Line 7: | Charity Care cost was calculated applying separate cost-to-charge ratios (CCR) to the skilled nursing facility (SNF) and to the remaining patient charges from all other hospital activities. The CCR for the SNF was computed using the Total SNF Operating Expenses divided by the Total SNF Gross Charges. The CCR for the remaining patient charges was computed pursuant to worksheet 2 in the Schedule H instructions.The CCR for the unreimbursed Medicaid services was computed using a CCR computed pursuant to worksheet 2 in the Schedule H instructions. the Other Means Tested Government program cost was derived from internal Trendstar system data which computed cost at the patient detail level. |
| Part I, Line 7g: | Subsidized health services were for inpatient rehabilitation, inpatient medicine, Laurelwood (mental health), and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). No costs were attributable to physician clinics. |
| Part I, Ln 7 Col(f): | The bad debt expense included on Form 990, Part IX, Line 24, Column A, But subtracted for purposes of calculating the percentage in this column is $83,592,320. |
| Part II, Community Building Activities: | It is well documented that many factors combine to affect the health of individuals and communities. Whether people are healthy or not is determined by their circumstances and their environment, according to the World Health Organization. To a large extent, factors such as where we live, the state of our environment, genetics, our income and education level, and our relationships with friends and family all have considerable impacts on health. The determinants of health include the social and economic environment, the physical environment, and a person's individual characteristics and behaviors. Additional factors that relate include education, culture, income and social status, employment and working conditions, social support networks, genetics, health services, and gender. If community members have adequate education, employment, income, a safe environment and supportive social networks, they will have the capacity to make healthier behavior choices and be more likely to have access to health services. Therefore, NGMC as an organization must consider the social determinants of health status as part of preventative care. some community building activities included in Part II include:Project SEARCH:Project SEARCH provides employment and education opportunities for individuals with mild to moderate disabilities. The program is dedicated to workforce development that benefits the individual, community and workplace. In FY17, 13 students, two job coaches and an instructor participated. The students work 20 hours per week in each assigned department. Mentors are assigned in each department. Mentors also attend a monthly meeting to discuss progress and needs of students.Sponsorship of Junior Achievement:NGMC provides financial support to Junior Achievement, an organization that educates youth about free enterprise while encouraging youth to stay in school.Sponsorship of Eagle Ranch:NGMC provides financial support to Eagle Ranch. Eagle Ranch provides a Christ-centered home for 54 boys and girls aged 6-18 who are in need of a stronger family support system. Their goal is the spiritual, intellectual, emotional, social and physical development of children and the eventual reunification with their natural families whenever possible. |
| Part III, Line 2: | PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE REDUCED BY AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTABILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NGMC ANALYZES ITS PAST HISTORY AND IDENTIFIES TRENDS FOR EACH OF ITS MAJOR PAYER SOURCES OF REVENUE TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS AND PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS. MANAGEMENT REGULARLY REVIEWS DATA ABOUT THESE MAJOR PAYER SOURCES OF REVENUE IN EVALUATING THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS.NGMC'S ESTIMATED ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS WAS APPROXIMATELY 22% OF GROSS PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 AND 2016. NGMC'S BAD DEBT WRITE-OFFS WERE APPROXIMATELY $106,999,000 AND $113,602,000 FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 AND 2016, RESPECTIVELY. |
| Part III, Line 4: | Bad debt expense reported on Line 2 represents gross charges written off during the fiscal year net of any recoveries. The organization's Financial Statements contain a footnote regarding Bad Debts on page 13-14. |
| Part III, Line 8: | The Medicare costs shown on line 6 were computed using the cost to charge ratio reflected in the organization's Medicare Cost Report. |
| Part III, Line 9b: | Patients who are determined to be indigent, determined by criteria-based methods, such as propensity to pay or health scores, participation in low income government assistance programs, etc. may be presumptively eligible for assistance, providing they cooperate with screening for other financial assistance resources (e.g. Medicaid or disability), as applicable. |
| Part VI, Line 2: | On a continuous basis, NGMC seeks a variety of data sources and reliable indicators to help identify and work to improve on health inequities in the communities it serves. A listing of the resources is listed below: - As part of the Hall County Family Connection, we review information from Kids Count, which provides key indicators of child well-being.- NGMC is actively involved in Vision 2030 (www.Vision2030.org). This community-wide program is sponsored by the Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce and participation is open to everyone in the community. A NGMC employee currently chairs the board of Vision 2030 which focuses on the creation of a culture of community wellness, the support and maintenance of lifelong learning, the building of an economy around emerging life sciences, the encouragement of innovative growth/infrastructure development, and the promotion of cultural integration.- NGMC has partnered with other healthcare providers in the community to form the Healthcare Initiative Consortium. This group has worked with a local university to develop an ongoing database of five data elements that will give the community up-to-date information on the health issues affecting its residents. The five data elements collected are: BMI (height/weight), A1c, blood pressure, cholesterol, LDL, and micro albumen. This gives us information related to the following health issues: obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and hypertension. The group has collected data on both adults, as well as pediatric patients.- The Hall County Health Department also shares its Health Risk Snapshots for counties in the service area, which focuses on population trends, youth risk, infant risk, general risk, student substance abuse, top causes of death and WIC nutrition program information.- We also monitor the County Health Rankings published by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (http://www.countyhealthrankings.org/about-project). |
| Part VI, Line 3: | Each billing cycle, statement contains contact information for financial assistance information. A plain language summary is provided at day 90. During the 240 days prior to placement with a collection agency, regular phone calls are made that include oral notification of financial assistance policy and how to obtain assistance with the application process. Applications will be accepted up to day 240. With aggregated multiple episode patient accounts, for purposes of measuring 120 and 240 days, the first post-charge billing statement will be used. |
| Part VI, Line 4: | Population: From 2010 to 2016, the Health System's Total Service Area (TSA) population grew 1.6% per year on average compared to the State of Georgia at 0.9% and the U.S. at 0.8%. Population for the TSA in 2016 is estimated to be 881,876 representing a total growth rate of 9.7% since 2010, compared to the State of Georgia's growth (5.7%) and the U.S. (4.8%) over the same time period. The TSA's population growth rate is projected to outpace Georgia and the U.S. through at least 2021, thus continuing to drive above average demand for health care services. Source: U.S. Census Bureau; ESRI, Inc.Household Income and Home Values: Median Household Income for the TSA is currently $55,943 compared to the State of Georgia at $50,384. The Median Home Value for the TSA is currently $197,128 compared to the State of Georgia at $161,440. The NGHS Service Area has been consistently higher than the State of Georgia on these metrics. Source: U.S. Census Bureau; ESRI, Inc.Employment: The unemployment rate for the NGHS Total Service Area was 5.2% in 2016 compared with the State of Georgia at 6.3% and the U.S. at 5.9%. For at least the last 10 years, the TSA has consistently experienced an annual unemployment rate below those of Georgia and the U.S. Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics; ESRI, Inc. |
| Part VI, Line 5: | Northeast Georgia Medical Center's Board of Directors is comprised of 15 members and represents the communities served by the organization. Board members provide leadership that supports the organization's mission to improve the health of the community. Physicians at NGMC undergo an extensive credentialing process prior to being granted medical staff privileges. The Medical Center conducts physician manpower studies to determine the number of physicians needed by specialty to meet community need. Information from these studies is used to help guide decisions for physician recruitment. All revenues in excess of expenses are reinvested into healthcare services for the community and no profits accrue to individual investors. The Medical Center's policy on financial assistance (formerly known as the Charity Care Policy) helps ensure access to hospital services to low income patients, i.e. patients with a family income of up to and including/equal to 150% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines qualify for a 100% charity adjustment, which means that their qualifying services are free. Additionally, patients with a family income of 151-300% qualify for discounted care on a sliding scale. the most that a patient would pay is the Medicare rate. |

| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a, Program Service Accomplishments: | Northeast Georgia Health System, Inc. (NGHS) is a Georgia, not-for-profit corporation that provides healthcare services to the residents of Northeast Georgia primarily through the operation of its affiliates including Northeast Georgia Medical Center, Inc. (NGMC), which is also a Georgia, not-for-profit corporation. NGMC operates a 557-licensed bed inpatient facility in Gainesville and a 100-licensed bed inpatient facility in Braselton. In January 2017, NGHS acquired NGMC Barrow, LLC ("Barrow"), a 56-bed hospital located in Winder, Georgia. Together, NGMC Gainesville, NGMC Braselton and Barrow provide a comprehensive range of acute care and specialty services and serve the area's low-income, uninsured, underinsured and other vulnerable populations. NGMC Gainesville serves as the regional safety net hospital, with approximately half of its patients coming from outside of Hall County. NGMC Gainesville, Braselton and Barrow reinvest all funds in excess of operating expenses into healthcare services for the community. NGHS receives no tax revenue from Hall or other counties served, and services are funded by revenue generated from operations. Located in Georgia's fastest growing region, the 67-year-old hospital, NGMC Gainesville, has expanded considerably in recent years to meet demand, investing a quarter of a billion dollars to update its aging plant and another $200 million-plus to build the NGMC Braselton campus and expand its services to include obstetrics and radiation therapy. NGMC Gainesville & Braselton According to the 2017 Hospital Quality Ratings study by CareChex, NGMC is rated as Georgia's #1 Heart Hospital (for the twelfth year in a row) and Georgia's #1 hospital for Pulmonary Care and Women's Health. NGMC Gainesville is also in the top 9% in the Nation for Cancer Care and in the top 10% in the Nation for Pneumonia Care, Stroke Care, and Surgical Care. NGMC Gainesville and Braselton campuses have been recognized as "Georgia Safe to Sleep Hospitals" by the Georgia Department of Public Health. In 2017, NGMC Gainesville and Braselton provided charity care to Hall County residents at a cost of $19.9 million with another $18.8 million to regional residents outside of Hall County. Unlike a number of not-for-profit hospitals, NGMC receives no local tax revenue from Hall County, or any other counties, to support operations or care provided to indigent residents. NGMC's charity care policy provides financial assistance up to 300 percent of the poverty level - double the amount generally provided by other hospitals across the state. The hospital is a key participant and fiscal sponsor in programs aimed at treating low-income and uninsured patients, including the Good News Clinics, the largest free health care clinic in Georgia, and Health Access Initiative (HAI), a local service that matches financially eligible patients to specialty physicians and provides access to care, among other services. Additionally: - Since 2000, NGMC Gainesville has provided nearly three times the amount of indigent and charity care set forth in requirements by the Georgia Department of Community Health for successful passage of a certificate of need for new services, and, unlike many Georgia not-for-for profit hospitals held to the same requirements, NGMC does not receive tax funding from its local county to help fund indigent care to area residents. - NGMC is the primary hospital for low-income patients in Gainesville-Hall County and throughout the region in counties such as Banks, Rabun, Union and White, where many key medical specialties are not available. - NGMC Gainesville is number 5 in top hospitals for net uncompensated care ($50.8 M) provided in Georgia based on state fiscal year (July 1 - June 30) 2017 Indigent Care Trust Fund (ICTF) Total Hospital Specific diproportionate share hospital (DSH) Limits; many of the hospitals on the list received local tax dollars while NGMC did not. NGMC serves as a financial engine for the local economy. In 2016 (latest numbers available), NGMC Gainesville and Braselton campuses surpassed the $1.75 billion mark in local and state economic impact, according to a report by the Georgia Hospital Association which applied an economic multiplier to the hospital's direct expenditures to account for the "ripple" effect the hospital's spending has on other sectors of the local and state economies. The report found that through its economic impact, NGMC sustained more than 18,000 full-time jobs throughout the region and the state. Under IRS law, a tax-exempt organization, classified as a 501(c)(3) charity, is required to: have a mission that will benefit its community; reinvest all surplus funds in the organization in a way that benefits the community; compensate executives, contractors and other employees in accordance with fair market value; remain accountable to the community; refrain from participating in political campaigns for or against candidates and/or lobby as a substantial part of its activities; and remain financially accountable to the community by not allowing any portion of its net earnings to benefit any private shareholder or individual. As a not-for-profit hospital, NGMC carries additional responsibilities, as established by the IRS in 1965: Operate a full-time emergency room (ER) that is available to all people, regardless of their ability to pay; - NGMC Gainesville operates the 2nd busiest ER in Georgia (according to the 2016 Annual Hospital Questionnaire Survey). In FY17, 20% of all NGMC Gainesville and Braselton ER visits were made by self-pay patients. Provide non-emergency services to anyone able to pay and medically necessary services to anyone in the NGHS service area not able to pay; - Northeast Georgia Health System provides high quality, advanced specialty and primary healthcare services to the Northeast Georgia community, serving 1 million people in more than 18 counties. In FY17, NGMC's payor mix at Gainesville and Braselton was 60% Medicare/Medicaid, 32% commercial insurance and 8% self-pay. Participate in Medicaid and Medicare; - 60% of patients served by NGMC Gainesville and Braselton in FY17 were Medicaid and Medicare patients. Create a governing board that is representative of the community it serves; - More than 80 community members are actively involved in governance through Northeast Georgia Health System, NGMC and other subsidiary boards and committees. Allow medical staff privileges to any professional who is qualified and applies; - NGMC has a medical staff of more than 760 physicians representing numerous advanced specialties such as gynecologic oncology, electrophysiology, cardiac surgery, critical care medicine, surgical trauma, neonatology, perinatology and telemedicine. Reinvest surplus funds in operations. - As not-for-profit organizations, the revenue generated by NGMC and its parent organization, Northeast Georgia Health System, above operating expenses is reinvested into the community. Examples include construction of new medical facilities, such as the hospital in Braselton offering 24/7 emergency room services not previously available to local residents; investments in advanced medical technology such as robotic surgical systems and state of the art radiation therapy equipment; and development of the only Level 2 Trauma Center in Northeast Georgia. NGMC participates in the Indigent Care Trust Fund (ICTF), a program established in 1990, which expands Medicaid eligibility and services, supports rural health care facilities that serve the medically indigent and funds primary health care programs for medically indigent Georgians. Georgia's Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) program is funded through the ICTF and assists hospitals and other health providers that care for high proportions of Medicaid, uninsured and/or low-income patients. In 2017, NGMC received $6.3 million in net funds allocated through the Medicaid DSH (ICTF) program to partially offset a financial loss of $50.8 million in cost the Medical Center incurred treating uninsured and Medicaid patients. In addition, NGMC received $3.5 million in net funds allocated through the Medicaid upper payment limit (UPL) program to adjust Medicaid payments upward to match Medicare payment levels. NGMC Gainesville and Braselton value cooperative efforts with community organizations and other healthcare providers to improve the health status of area residents. The organizations demonstrate this through many partnerships ranging from serving as lead agency of Safe Kids Gainesville/Hall County, to partnering with other organizations such as Good News Clinics and the Public Health Department to reach at-risk populations in need of health care. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a | In FY17, NGMC Gainesville and Braselton provided over $6.7 million in community benefit programs/outreach. Health education was provided through free community lectures, screenings, various support groups and the semi-annual health magazine, Communicare. NGMC also offered many community education seminars on topics ranging from health and nutrition to women's health education and more, as well as seminars for health professionals in the community, region and state. In addition, NGMC provided support to other local non-profit organizations that serve the community. What Drives NGMC's Community Health Improvement Activities? NGMC, with input from the community, completed a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) in 2016. The assessment focused mainly on the needs of the community's most vulnerable populations, particularly those with low-incomes who are uninsured. Input from the community was gathered through focus groups and interviews. Focus group participants and interviewees included community leaders, public health experts and those representing the needs of minority, underserved and indigent populations. Input was also received from an internal NGMC board level workgroup and senior leadership who validated, refined and expanded the list of health needs NGMC would address. The study culminated in the identification of the following 5 priority health needs across the region: Septicemia, Access to Care, Diabetes, Cancer and Injury. The 5 health priorities fit hand-in-glove with our strategic direction as an organization. Working together, from senior management to board level, to the bedside and community partners, NGMC has implemented a plan to improve the outcomes of these health needs over a 3 year period. The actions and outcomes of this plan are being tracked to monitor improvements and identify opportunities with each priority health need. Go to https://www.nghs.com/community-benefit-resources for updates and full reports. The following contains highlights of community benefit activities provided by NGMC in FY17, often partnering with other organizations and individuals in the community: Partnering to Reach the Uninsured: NGMC works cooperatively with other area healthcare providers to care for area residents, particularly the indigent population. Partners include, but are not limited to, NGMC, the Northeast Georgia Physicians Group (NGPG) Primary Care Clinic at Hall County Health Department, the Northeast Georgia Diagnostic Clinic, The Longstreet Clinic, Medlink (federally qualified health center), area physicians and indigent clinics such as Good News Clinics in Gainesville and Good Shepherd Clinic of Dawson County. Good News Clinics (GNC): NGMC provides funding to GNC (the largest free clinic in Georgia) that helps provide medications, medical supplies and other support. Founded in 1992, GNC is a Christian ministry that provides medical and dental care to the indigent and uninsured population at no charge. Forty-six physicians, 9 mid-level providers and 43 dentists volunteer to treat patients at GNC. In addition, 332 specialist physicians volunteer to treat patients in their offices through referrals from GNC, NGPG Primary Care Clinic at the Hall County Health Department and physicians in Hall County. In FY17, nearly $500,000 was donated to help GNC provide care to indigent patients who were at or below 150% of the federal poverty guidelines and did not qualify for other programs. To provide integration between GNC, NGHS, and other providers in the community, NGMC through its foundation is working to help support the implementation of a high-level electronic medical record system to improve coordination of care and outcomes for this vulnerable patient population. Eva Johnson, NGMC Nurse Practitioner and Heart Failure Disease Manager, helped establish and now runs the Heart Failure Clinic at GNC. Eva was awarded the Sam Poole Community Volunteer of the Year Award for her tireless work with the clinic. This project has been extremely successful, holding the 30-day hospital readmissions to one patient in 2017. NGPG Primary Care Clinic at the Hall County Health Department: NGMC funds and staffs a primary care clinic at the Hall County Health Department to improve access to primary healthcare services for low-income people in our community. In FY17, NGMC contributed $1,070,096 to this clinic. Prenatal Care Program at the Health Department: NGMC, The Longstreet Clinic, and Hall County Health Department partner to improve birth outcomes by increasing early prenatal care for low-income, uninsured and under-insured pregnant women via the Health Department's primary care clinic. Yearly cost to NGMC is approximately $200,000. Indigent Patient Fund: At NGMC, financial assistance is provided for indigent patients to obtain urgently needed discharge medications and transportation. Individuals eligible for these funds are patients whose needs cannot be met through primary insurance, their own personal funds, government programs or other charitable services. This helps to ensure medication compliance and maximize conditions for recovery and recuperation. The Medical Center Foundation provides funding for this. Charity Care: NGMC's charity care policy removes barriers for low-income populations within our service area beginning with free, medically necessary care for patients whose gross family income is 0 to 150% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) adjusted for family size. Further, patients from our service area, whose FPL is from 151 to 300%, may qualify for an adjustment equivalent to the hospital's Medicare reimbursement rate plus an additional 40% discount to the Medicare reimbursement rate. Total Charity Care Cost for FY17: $19.9 million for Hall County with another $18.8 million for regional residents outside of Hall County. NGMC Volunteers: In FY17, 748 NGMC volunteers contributed 68,961 volunteer hours, equivalent to 41 full time employees and a value of over $1.6 million to the organization. While these figures are not included in the quantitative portion of the community benefit report, they show the depth of support the community gives NGMC. 130 teens participated in the Teen Volunteer Program in 2017. The teens represented 28 different schools within the area. Encouraging Medical Volunteering: NGMC provides information at physician orientation to encourage physicians to step up to volunteer opportunities through local free clinics (GNC in Gainesville and Helping Hand Clinic in Cleveland) as well as Health Access. NGPG also encourages physicians to give of their time volunteering at these locations. Through various physician leadership councils, NGMC's Cancer Services Program encourages its physicians to actively participate in community outreach, including educational seminars, screenings, cancer prevention opportunities and other outreach with the purpose of improving patient care, quality, access and programmatic excellence of cancer services within the community. Financial Navigators: NGMC has financial assistance counselors who help patients become insured, be it through Medicaid, PeachCare or other programs. This team focuses on being advocates for uninsured and under-insured patients, aiding them in finding viable means to access care. They find the best solutions for helping patients apply for Medicaid or disability, accessing healthcare exchanges or processing charity applications when appropriate. Patient Navigators: NGMC also has a cancer patient navigation program. This program provides cancer patients with guidance throughout their cancer journey, and they are seen as a "living resource directory" for patients. Clinical Research: In FY17, all ongoing clinical trial research programs at NGHS were reorganized under the oversight of the new NGMC Office of Research. NGMC's Oncology Research program, through the Georgia NCORP (National Cancer Institute Community Oncology Research Program), received recognition as a high performing research site member. Georgia NCORP provides Georgians with access to state-of-the-art cancer prevention, screening, control, treatment and post treatment trials in 41 locations throughout the state. NGMC was recognized for results in meeting or exceeding our goals for providing patients access to cancer research trials. NGMC's Cardiology Research program was recognized by major sponsors as a top enrolling site through participation in pharmaceutical and device clinical trials in cardiology with outcomes that have the potential to improve the standard of care for patients throughout the U.S. and around the world. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a | Partnering in the Community Partnership for a Drug Free Hall (DFH): As part of the behavioral health issues being addressed in Hall County, much progress has been achieved in FY17 with regard to the opioid epidemic affecting so many counties across the region and our nation. Hall County's response to this epidemic is the collaborative Partnership for a Drug Free Hall. Modeled after a partnership formed in Gwinnett County led by Senator Renee Unterman, she, along with Deb Bailey, Executive Director of Governmental Affairs at NGHS, Dallas Gay, former NGHS Board Member, and Judy Brownell, Director of Prevention at Center Point, pulled together a diverse group of agencies in Hall County to form this partnership. Other NGHS representatives from Community Health Improvement and Laurelwood also actively serve on this committee. DFH is dedicated to providing the people of Hall County with information, resources and actions to address drug abuse. Information and resources can be found at http://drugfreehall.org. The following activities have come from this collaboration and are available to the community: - Not My Family, a series of forums directed at families and individuals was launched to provide awareness, education and local resources. In September 2017, the first forum was held in Gainesville at the Brenau Downtown Center where over 450 people attended. Attendees ranged from professionals to students to families and friends, and this series continues in 2018. - Parent Support Group for parents/guardians who have lost a child due to overdose or drug-related injuries, as well as parents with a child who is struggling with addiction is available to the community. - 3 Steps to Save A Life, a training program designed to equip the general public with lifesaving information to prevent overdose deaths, was launched. In 2018, this tool will be available in a free App, (currently available at www.oorescue.com). - Engagement in local schools and university systems such as with the University of North Georgia was expanded. In addition to this, DFH in collaboration with the Hall County Family Connection Network (HCFCN), planned a 2018 Youth Empowerment Summit to educate up to 100 sixth graders about the dangers of alcohol and drugs, as well as, leadership skills and refusal strategies. Through this summit, a Youth Advisory Council will be developed. - S.T.A.R.T. (Students Together Achieving Responsibility & Tolerance), a Youth Advisory Council, will be an advisory group of youth leaders who work in partnership with their peers, local leaders and community organizations in Hall County. As part of this council, members will learn about current issues facing youth, develop and strengthen leadership skills, provide input about current issues facing youth, interact with local community leaders, serve as youth advocates and ambassadors for Hall County, participating in team building activities, volunteer projects and community service. - NGMC's emergency departments have been chosen by the Georgia Council on Substance Abuse to participate in a two-year, grant-funded pilot project to help patients who experience an opioid-related overdose. The ED-CARES program connects people who have been admitted to emergency rooms for an opioid-related overdose with trained peer recovery coaches. This peer support plays an important role in helping people avoid another overdose and encouraging them to seek treatment. The program was created in response to the increasing number of overdose fatalities and seeks to curtail that trend by better connecting people at high-risk with community support and services. NGMC is the only hospital system in Georgia to provide this support, which is provided in all three Emergency Departments (at Gainesville, Braselton and Barrow). - Georgia continues to benefit from Project DAN (Deaths Avoided by Naloxone), an effort to equip first responders with the drug naloxone/Narcan which can quickly reverse overdoses from opioids or heroin. The Medical Center Foundation's 2015 Medical Center Open benefited the Medical Association of Georgia Foundation's 'Think About It' Campaign that funded Project DAN. Until recently, naloxone was only available by prescription, but thanks to a standing order signed by Governor Deal on December 14, 2016, the Jeffrey Dallas Gay Act, naloxone can now be dispensed over-the-counter by pharmacists across Georgia, making it accessible to parents and other lay citizens who may be the firsthand witnesses to overdoses. Through Project DAN, Northeast Georgia Health System has trained more than 5,000 people in 98 agencies across 53 counties on the use of naloxone. Although, there is no official reporting process to capture all lives saved, we do know that 27 lives have been saved in Hall County and over 80 in our service area with naloxone kits provided to first responders through Project DAN. - In FY17, the Georgia Composite Medical Board proposed required physician education addressing controlled substance prescribing guidelines. NGMC has for many years participated in seeking solutions to the tremendous opioid epidemic in our community and our state. In an effort to better educate physicians on this alarming health crisis, the Georgia Composite Medical Board met and proposed amendments to the Georgia Composite Medical Board Rules which add continuing education requirements for physicians to address controlled substance prescribing guidelines and recognizing signs of abuse or misuse. The updated ruling was set to take effect January 1, 2018. Details can be found at the Medical Association of Georgia's website at www.mag.org. NGMC is actively involved in Vision 2030 (www.Vision2030.org). This community-wide program is sponsored by the Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce and participation is open to everyone in the community. An NGMC employee currently serves on the board of Vision 2030 which focuses on the creation of a culture of community wellness, the support and maintenance of lifelong learning, the building of an economy around emerging life sciences, the encouragement of innovative growth/infrastructure development and the promotion of cultural integration. NGMC is also an active partner on other chamber committees such as the Healthcare Committee and the Health Initiative Consortium. NGMC is also a partner in HALLmark, which is a community investment plan that addresses economic development, education, government and community development through partnership. Two NGMC representatives serve on the Hall County Family Connection Network (HCFCN). HCFCN adopted Teen Pregnancy Prevention and community-wide resource mapping in partnership with United Way as its two focus areas in FY17. HCFCN is a collaborative which serves as the local decision-making body, bringing community partners together to develop, implement and evaluate plans that address the serious challenges facing the children and families in our county, in addition to increasing awareness and knowledge of existing programs and services available to families and children in Hall County. Its vision is that every child has the opportunity to reach his or her full potential for good health, be secure from abuse and neglect and become a literate, productive, economically self-sufficient member of our community. A Member of NGMC's bariatric service line serves on Hall County School System's Wellness Council. The Medical Center Foundation (MCF) Raises Funds to Benefit the Community. The MCF is the fundraising arm of NGMC and raises funds to improve the health of the community. The Foundation's operating expenses are supported by NGMC so that donated funds can be used to support NGMC projects and community health improvement initiatives. The following are items of interest to note: - Since 1997, approximately $3.8 million has been raised for community health improvement projects through The Medical Center Open, a community golf tournament. - The 2016 Medical Center Open Golf Tournament, which was held in FY17, raised $282,454 to fund three homes and a neighborhood playground for Habitat for Humanity of Hall County, located in its signature subdivision, Copper Glen. Over 100 community volunteers, 225 sponsors and 216 players made the tournament a success! NGMC senior leadership and employees helped construct the homes through three NGMC Build Days that benefitted three deserving families. - Through the employee giving club known as W.A.T.C.H. (We Are Targeting Community Healthcare), members have donated more than $8.8 million to support the Healthy Journey Campaign since the program's inception in 1999. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a | Investing in Our Youth Safe Kids Coalition Works to Keep Kids Safe: The Gainesville-Hall County Safe Kids Coalition, led by NGMC, is part of Safe Kids Worldwide, the first and only national organization dedicated solely to the prevention of unintentional childhood injury, which is the nation's number one killer of children ages 14 and under. This program provides affordable safety equipment such as car seats, bike helmets, and life jackets to area children in need. Working with a coalition made up of law enforcement, area schools, community volunteers and others, Safe Kids provides educational materials and programs that teach children and their parents how to avoid accidents and injuries. Safe Kids continued the work of injury prevention for families in the Hall County community in 2017 thanks to the support of MCF and The Medical Center Auxiliary proceeds from Marketplace (an annual fundraising event of The Medical Center Auxiliary, which benefits healthcare services of NGMC). In FY17, members of the Gainesville-Hall County Safe Kids Coalition provided over 76 programs and events that reached an estimated 9,643 children and their family members, teachers and caregivers. Through these programs, over 4,201 safety devices were distributed to families in need of them. Education and Support for Seniors Getting Older and Better Workshops: Over 220 people participated in the Getting Older and Better Workshops held in September in Gainesville and Braselton. This event was sponsored by The Medical Center Auxiliary, provided by NGMC and featured the topic "Let's Talk About Stroke: Signs, Treatment, and Lowering your Risk." Featured speakers were Antoine Leflore, MD., Emergency Medicine Physician from Northeast Georgia Health System, Shaena Blevins, MD., Stroke Medical Director from Northeast Georgia Medical Center and NGPG Neurology, Jennifer Sweigart, Inpatient Neurology Physician Assistant from Northeast Georgia Physicians Group Neurology and Heather Wilsey, Physical Therapist and Outpatient Supervisor from The Rehabilitation Institute of Northeast Georgia Medical Center. Support of Community Efforts to Improve Health NGMC employees are very active in the community, volunteering at GNC, in their churches on mission trips and for community agencies such as the Humane Society and Habitat for Humanity. When it comes to supporting MCF's employee giving club, W.A.T.C.H., over 3,500 employees donated about $745,000 in 2017. American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, and March of Dimes: NGMC employees turned out in full force for community events such as the American Heart Walk, March for Babies and Relay for Life, averaging participation of 300 employees per event. Blood Drives: In FY17, NGMC hosted 22 drives, resulting in 484 donors and over 404 pints of blood. United Way Pacesetter & More: NGMC has partnered with United Way to engage employees and leaders in the community. NGHS employees contributed $76,415 to United Way as a Pacesetter Company. Three NGMC employees serve on the United Way Board; Dr. Sam Johnson, Chief Medical Officer at NGHS, serves as Chairman on One Hall United Against Poverty. In an effort to improve school readiness and literacy for our community's children, NGMC has partnered with the United Way of Hall County's Read Learn Succeed initiative to produce a children's book. Printed in English and Spanish, "Welcome to the World," provides education about the importance of reading to children every day, for at least 15 minutes, starting at birth. The book also includes keepsake pages for baby's first footprints and handprints. Funded by The Medical Center Auxiliary, this book is given to all babies born at NGMC Gainesville and NGMC Braselton. Training and Education for Healthcare Professionals: NGMC continues to serve as a "pipeline" to help get more qualified people interested in healthcare positions and help provide training and education to students. This training and education is done through a variety of avenues from job shadowing to the nurse extern program and pharmacy residency program, as well as significant support to Foothills Area Health Education Centers. Graduate Medical Education (GME): Northeast Georgia Medical Center's GME program is designed to train residents to be leaders in the medical field as well as in the community. Medical students will receive hands-on training in one of six medical specialties: internal medicine, family medicine, general surgery, OB/GYN, psychiatry and emergency medicine. NGMC expects this program to grow to 170 residents by 2024, which would make this program one of the largest in the state, and expects its first students in 2019. Dr. Antonio Rios, Chief Physician Executive for NGPG, was elected Chairman of The Georgia Board for Physician Workforce. On this board, Dr. Rios will be committed to furthering the board's mission to identify the physician workforce needs of Georgia communities and to meet those needs through the support and development of medical education programs. Dr. Rios also serves on the Good News Clinics and District 2 Public Health boards. Northeast Georgia STEMI (S-T Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction) Summit: Hosted each year by NGMC, the Northeast Georgia STEMI Summit brings together paramedics, EMS staff, and doctors from across the state. They meet to discuss the state of the Northeast Georgia Regional STEMI System, a collaborative effort providing critical care and rapid response in 18 counties across the region to people suffering a severe heart attack known as STEMI. As this year's summit was in progress, the Georgia House of Representatives voted in favor of adopting Senate Bill 102, which provides for the establishment of emergency cardiac centers and the establishment of the Office of Cardiac Care within the Georgia Department of Public health. The bill was spearheaded by Jeffrey Marshall, MD (The Heart Center of NGMC) and Deb Bailey, Executive Director of Governmental Affairs at Northeast Georgia Health System. In addition to championing Senate Bill 102, Deb has made tremendous contributions to our state as a whole, serving on the Georgia Committee on Public Health, Georgia Board of Nursing and the Georgia Hospital Medicaid Financial Program Advisory Committee. NGMC Provides Health Information & Support: The Fraser Resource Center and Health Sciences Library & Braselton Resource Center at NGHS serve the health information needs of the community. Consumers, patients and their family members have access to credible resources relating to medical symptoms, conditions and treatments both at the library and also via links on NGMC's website (www.nghs.com/library). The Resource Center encourages visitors to make healthy choices and become active, informed partners in their health care. In keeping with guidelines for community benefit reporting, NGMC did not include quantitative data on the following programs/projects, but they do meet health needs in the community identified via the 2016 (the most recent) Community Health Needs Assessment and warrant inclusion in this summary: NGMC Employees Lead the Way: Carol Burrell, NGHS President and CEO, was named Georgia's Most Respected Business Leader for 2017 by Georgia Trend magazine. At the annual Masters in the Art of Nursing: Healers Among Us event, Deb Bailey, Executive Director of Governmental Affairs at NGHS, and Mary Martin, Chief Nursing Informatics Officer at NGHS, were recognized along with two other nurses in the community for their dedication and excellence. SANE program: NGMC provides a SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) program which provides nurses special training in rape crisis, trial time with a District Attorney and training with law enforcement and a pediatrician's office. NGMC employs nurses who have specialized training to complete the Sexual Assault Nurse Exam and provide specialized care for patients who are victims of sexual assault. This program is not a requirement of hospitals and is also not provided at all hospitals throughout the state. NGMC Barrow NGMC Barrow provided charity care to Barrow County residents at a cost of $1.2 million in 2017 with another $308 thousand provided to regional residents outside Barrow County. NGMC Barrow receives no local tax revenue from any of the counties it serves to support operations or care provided to indigent residents, unlike a number of not-for-profit hospitals. The organization's charity care policy provides financial assistance up to 300% of the poverty level, double the amount generally provided by other hospitals across the state. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a | In 2017, NGMC expanded its access in cardiac and cancer care to NGMC Barrow. NGHS spent nearly $2.5 million on new equipment for NGMC Barrow, such as a new CT scanner and two new hyperbaric oxygen treatment chambers in the Wound Care Center. NGMC serves as a financial engine for the local economy. In 2016 (latest numbers available), NGMC Barrow had $73.3 million in local and state economic impact, according to a report by the Georgia Hospital Association, which applied an economic multiplier to the hospital's direct expenditures to account for the "ripple" effect the hospital's spending has on other sectors of the local and state economies. The report found that through its economic impact, NGMC Barrow sustained more than 500 full-time jobs throughout the region and the state. Under IRS law, a tax-exempt organization, classified as a 501(c)(3) charity, is required to: have a mission that will benefit its community; reinvest all surplus funds in the organization in a way that benefits the community; compensate executives, contractors and other employees in accordance with fair market value; remain accountable to the community; refrain from participating in political campaigns for or against candidates and/or lobby as a substantial part of its activities; and, remain financially accountable to the community by not allowing any portion of its net earnings to benefit any private shareholder or individual. As a not-for-profit hospital, NGMC Barrow carries additional responsibilities, as established by the IRS in 1965: Operate a full-time emergency room that is available to all people, regardless of their ability to pay; - NGMC Barrow operates the 77th busiest ER in Georgia (according to the 2016 Annual Hospital Questionnaire Survey). In FY17, 30% of all NGMC Barrow emergency room visits were made by self-pay patients. Provide non-emergency services to anyone able to pay and medically necessary services to anyone in the NGHS service area not able to pay; - Northeast Georgia Health System provides high quality, advanced specialty and primary healthcare services to the Northeast Georgia community, serving 1 million people in more than 18 counties. In FY17, NGMC Barrow's payor mix was 55% for Medicare/ Medicaid, 24% for commercial insurance and 21% for self-pay. Participate in Medicaid and Medicare; - 55% of patients served by NGMC Barrow were Medicaid and Medicare patients. Create a governing board that is representative of the community it serves; - More than 80 community members are actively involved in governance through Northeast Georgia Health System, NGMC and other subsidiary boards and committees. Allow medical staff privileges to any professional who is qualified and applies; - NGMC Barrow has a medical staff of 280 physicians representing numerous advanced specialties such as emergency services, surgery and procedures, intensive care, outpatient surgery, respiratory therapy, wound care, imaging services and telemedicine. Reinvest surplus funds in operations; - As not-for-profit organizations, the revenue generated by NGMC and its parent organization, Northeast Georgia Health System, above operating expenses is reinvested into the community. In 2017, NGMC expanded its access in cardiac and cancer care to NGMC Barrow. NGHS spent nearly $2.5 million on new equipment for NGMC Barrow, such as a new CT scanner and two new hyperbaric oxygen treatment chambers in the Wound Care Center. NGMC Barrow values cooperative efforts with community organizations and other healthcare providers to improve the health status of area residents. The organization demonstrates this through community partnerships ranging from free health screenings at local health fairs to providing a meeting space for other non-profit organizations, such as United Way and Rotary Club of Winder. In FY17, NGMC Barrow provided over $89,000 in community benefit programs/outreach. NGMC Barrow offered many community education seminars on topics ranging from healthy cooking demos to heart health and more. In addition, NGMC Barrow provided support to other local non-profit organizations that serve the community. What Drives NGMC Barrow's Community Health Improvement Activities? NGMC, with input from the community, completed a region-wide Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) in 2016 that included Barrow County and surrounding counties (before NGMC Barrow was acquired by Northeast Georgia Health System). Through the CHNA, cancer was identified as a health priority for Barrow County. According to the National Cancer Institute 2008-2012, Barrow County has a lung cancer indicator value of 87.9, well above its neighbor Gwinnett County's value of 54.1 and the state benchmark of 68.8. Additionally, according to the Georgia Department of Public Health's Georgia Tobacco Use Surveillance Report, in 2015, approximately 4% of middle school students and 53,000 or 13% of high school students in Georgia smoke cigarettes. NGMC is partnering with Barrow County Schools to implement "Tar Wars", a tobacco-free education program for fourth and fifth grade students developed by the American Academy of Family Physicians to teach kids about the dangers of tobacco use, the cost associated with using tobacco products, and the advertising techniques used by the tobacco industry to market their products to youth.

The following contains highlights of community benefit activities provided by NGMC Barrow in FY17: Charity Care: Like NGMC Gainesville and Braselton, NGMC Barrow's charity care policy removes barriers for low-income populations within our service area beginning with free, medically necessary care for patients whose gross family income is 0 to 150% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) adjusted for family size. Further, patients from our service area, whose FPL is from 151 to 300%, may qualify for an adjustment equivalent to the hospital's Medicare reimbursement rate plus an additional 40% discount to the Medicare reimbursement rate. Total Charity Care Cost for NGMC Barrow in FY17: $1.2 million with another $308 thousand provided to regional residents outside Barrow County. Encouraging Medical Volunteering: Through various physician leadership councils, NGMC Barrow's Cancer Services Program encourages its physicians to actively participate in community outreach, including educational seminars, screenings, cancer prevention opportunities and other outreach with the purpose of improving patient care, quality, access and programmatic excellence of cancer services within the community. Financial Navigators: NGMC Barrow has financial assistance counselors who help patients become insured, be it through Medicaid, PeachCare or other programs. This team focuses on being advocates for uninsured and under-insured patients, aiding them in finding viable means to access care. They find the best solutions for helping patients apply for Medicaid or disability, accessing healthcare exchanges or processing charity applications when appropriate. Partnering in the Community: NGMC Barrow Volunteers: In FY17, 24 NGMC volunteers contributed 4,828 volunteer hours, equivalent to almost 3 full time employees and a value of over $116,548 to the organization. While these figures are not included in the quantitative portion of the community benefit report, they show the depth of support the community gives NGMC Barrow. Like NGMC Gainesville and Braselton, NGMC Barrow's emergency department participates in the ED-CARES program, which connects people who have been admitted to emergency rooms for an opioid-related overdose with trained peer recovery coaches. Rotary Club of Winder Support: Sunita Singh, public relations manager for Barrow, serves as President of the Rotary Club of Winder, which benefits various community programs such as Peace Place, The Tree House Inc., United Way and Boy Scouts of America, just to name a few. Support of Community Efforts to Improve Health American Cancer Society (ACS): NGMC Barrow was the Platinum Sponsor for the ACS Relay for Life in Barrow County. The walk benefits cancer research and community education. NGMC employees turned out in full force for Relay for Life, with over 360 walkers throughout the region. Northeast Georgia Food Bank Support: NGMC Barrow provided a donation to the Northeast Georgia Food Bank's Food 2 Kids program in Barrow County. This program was developed to alleviate hunger on nights and weekends when other food is not available for children in need. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a | Boys & Girls Club: NGMC Barrow gave a donation to the Boys & Girls Club which provides programs that empower youth to excel in school, become good citizens and lead healthy, productive lives. Health Screenings: NGMC Barrow provided health education and screenings at local health fairs, such as free blood pressure checks and diabetes education. Community Health Education: NGMC Barrow offers a variety of free health education classes from Arthritis to healthy cooking demonstrations. The Diabetes Education team at NGMC developed partnerships with community professionals, including a dietitian at NGMC Barrow, in order to expand the access to the Prevent T2 Diabetes program, a proven program to prevent or delay type 2 diabetes. This team is currently working to provide classes in NGMC Barrow. Organization Overview Northeast Georgia Health System is a not-for-profit community health system dedicated to improving the health and quality of life of the people of Northeast Georgia. Northeast Georgia Medical Center has three hospital campuses (NGMC Gainesville, NGMC Braselton and NGMC Barrow) with a total of 713 beds and more than 700 medical staff members representing more than 50 specialties. The Health System offers a full range of healthcare services through NGMC such as gynecologic oncology, electrophysiology, cardiac surgery, critical care medicine, surgical trauma, neonatology and perinatology. CareChex recognizes NGMC as Georgia's #1 hospital for heart care, women's care and pulmonary care. NGMC also provides long term care through two centers in Gainesville and mental health and substance abuse treatment through a freestanding inpatient center. Northeast Georgia Physicians Group brings together more than 350 talented physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, midwives and other clinical staff at more than 65 locations across North Georgia. As the state's sixth-largest physician group, it always has a practice nearby to offer expert care in more than 25 specialties. Led by volunteer boards made up of community leaders, the Health System serves 1 million people in more than 18 counties across Northeast Georgia. As a not-for-profit health system, all revenue generated above operating expenses is returned to the community through improved services and innovative programs. Northeast Georgia Medical Center's Charity Care Policy supports the provision of care for indigent patients, regardless of their ability to pay. Special Notes NGMC uses the precepts outlined in "A Guide for Planning and Reporting Community Benefit," provided by the Catholic Health Association of The United States and Veteran's Health Administration, Inc. The guide's purpose is to help not-for-profit, mission-driven healthcare organizations develop, enhance and report on their community benefit programs. Community Benefit Definition: Program or activity must address a demonstrated community need and seek to address at least one of the following community benefit objectives: - improve access - enhance population health - advance generalizable knowledge - relieve government burden to improve health The program or activity must: - primarily benefit the community rather than the organization - result in measurable expense to the organization If the program or activity is provided primarily for marketing purposes, standard practice, expected of all hospitals (such as activities required for accreditation, licensure, or to participate in Medicare) or is primarily for employees (not including interns, residents and fellows) and/or affiliated physicians, it is not community benefit.

| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | Board members are required to complete a conflict of interest questionnaire annually. Employees attest to their understanding and reporting/disclosure requirements at hire and annually. Compliance is monitored continuously throughout the year by the board. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 | The compensation committee of the Northeast Georgia Health System Board (NGHS Board) has developed and installed compensation policies and procedures that seek to further the purpose of NGHS and affiliates and the importance of these policies to attract and retain key employees. The compensation committee is composed of voting directors who are not employees of NGHS. All decisions of the compensation committee are reviewed and ratified by the NGHS Board. The committee's methodology and approach incorporates both qualitative and quantitative considerations, which are reflected in the committee's determinations concerning key employee compensation and the specific components thereof. The compensation decisions of the committee are described below as to each of the three categories. Base Salary Annual base salaries are set at market competitive levels with healthcare systems of a similar size and complexity from throughout the country. Specifically, the committee considers peer group comparisons from survey data for other health systems, recommendations from an independent compensation consultant, recommendations on ranges and placement from the CEO, and individual performance assessments for each position. In each instance the committee members reach a consensus based on the combination of available information, and the committee sets a base salary level for each key employee. Performance Based Variable Compensation Numerous performance goals are quantitative in nature, resulting in a performance based variable compensation component that is weighted toward attaining NGHS Board-approved goals and objectives. Annual goals and objectives are established through a formal planning process involving board and community members. The board approves these goals and objectives at the beginning of each year. Officers and key employees receive cash awards as a formula driven percentage of base salary levels based on achievement and predetermined individual objectives. Benefits and Retention Programs Benefit categories and amounts are determined by a comparison process similar to determining base salaries with positions and organizations similar to NGHS. Included in benefits are retirement programs to enhance retention and progress toward long-term goals within NGHS' mission. |
