Part V, Section B	Facility Reporting Group A
Facility Reporting Group A consists of:	- Facility 1: Northside Hospital, - Facility 2: Northside Hospital - Forsyth, - Facility 3: Northside Hospital - Cherokee
Group A-Facility 1 -- Hospitals - Atlanta, Cherokee, Forsyth Part V, Section B, line 3j:	Northside Hospital, Inc. ("Northside") completed a CHNA for each of its hospital facilities identified in Part V, Section A. In completing the CHNAs for its hospital facilities, Northside did not encounter any information gaps that limited its ability to assess each hospital facility's Community need. In addition to the information listed above, Northside describes in the CHNAs each Community's access to health care and provides an overview of each hospital facility's implementation strategy.
Group A-Facility 1 -- Hospitals - Atlanta, Cherokee, Forsyth Part V, Section B, line 5:	Northside identified community stakeholders who broadly represented the interests of each hospital facility's Community and specifically sought to identify stakeholders with special knowledge of, or expertise in, public health. Northside then developed the Stakeholder Assessment Discussion Guide (a copy of which is included as Appendix A in each hospital facility's CHNA) and conducted, either in person or by telephone, interviews with a qualified representative of each identified stakeholder. The following is a comprehensive list of organizations Northside contacted to help identify the needs of the hospital facilities' Community needs: (1) March of Dimes, (2) Good Samaritan Health Center of Atlanta, (3) Good Samaritan Health Center of Cobb, (4) Visiting Nurse Health System, (5) Forsyth Health Department, (6) Georgia Highlands Medical Services, (7) Good Shepherd Clinic of Dawson County, (8) Bethesda Community Clinic, (9) Good Samaritan Health Center of Pickens, (10) United Way of Cherokee County, (11) HomeStretch, (12) M.U.S.T. Ministries, (13) United Way of Forsyth County, (14) North Fulton Community Charities, (15) North Fulton Senior Services, (16) United Way of Greater Atlanta, (17) City of Sandy Springs, (18) Cherokee County Manager, (19) Cherokee County Schools, (20) City of Cumming, (21) City of Canton, (22) Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce, (23) Pickens Chamber of Commerce, and (24) Cumming/Forsyth Chamber of Commerce.
Group A-Facility 1 -- Hospitals - Atlanta, Cherokee, Forsyth Part V, Section B, line 6a:	The Northside Hospital, Inc. system comprises three hospital facilities: (1) Northside Hospital-Atlanta, (2) Northside Hospital-Cherokee and (3) Northside Hospital-Forsyth. Northside utilized similar resources, processes and procedures in conducting its hospital facilities' CHNAs; additionally, the CHNAs were conducted simultaneously.
Group A-Facility 1 -- Hospitals - Atlanta, Cherokee, Forsyth Part V, Section B, line 11:	Based on the results of Northside's 2016 CHNA, Northside Hospital, Inc. adopted an implementation strategy which outlined several initiatives to help address the significant needs identified in the Community. As set forth in the 2016 CHNA, Northside is unable to address each identified community need due to availability of resources, magnitude/severity of the issues identified, and existing resources already available to meet such needs. The needs that will not be addressed directly follow: (1) Respiratory Disease & Smoking, (2) Affordability, Access to Care & Uninsured, (3) Primary Care, (4) Mental Health/Addiction, and (5) HIV/AIDS.A detailed analysis of why each of these needs will not be addressed is included in Northside's CHNA.
Group A-Facility 1 -- Hospitals - Atlanta, Cherokee, Forsyth Part V, Section B, line 20e:	Northside follows a very detailed and robust process prior to initiating ECAs. As indicated in response to Question 20, Northside (1) provides a written notice about upcoming ECAs and a plain language summary of the FAP at least 30 days before initiating any ECAs, (2) Northside makes reasonable efforts to orally (and via other means) notify individuals about the FAP and FAP application process, and (3) Northside makes presumptive eligibility determinations to qualify patients for financial assistance. Northside promptly processes all complete FAP applications. Northside also evaluates all incomplete FAP applications, and in connection with such incomplete applications, takes the following steps: If Northside determines that a patient has submitted an incomplete FAP application, Northside will (a) immediately suspend any ECAs that may have been initiated against the patient after the expiration of the Notification Period but before the expiration of the Application Period; (b) provide the patient with written notice that describes the additional information and/or documentation the individual must submit to complete the FAP application and include a copy of the FAP with the written notice; and (c) make a note in the billing system indicating that ECAs should not be initiated (or re-initiated) on the patient's account until the expiration of the Application Period, and only if at that point the patient has not submitted the necessary information to complete the FAP application. Northside defines the Notification Period" to mean the period during which it must notify an individual about the FAP and begins on the date the first post-discharge billing statement for care was provided to the Patient and ends on the 120th day after the Patient was provided with the first post-discharge billing statement for care. Northside defines the "Application Period" to mean the period during which Northside must accept and process a FAP application submitted by a patient. The "Application Period" begins on the date care is provided to the patient and ends on the later of the 240th day after the date that the first post-discharge billing statement for care is provided or either (i) in the case of individual who Northside has provided a notice of at least 30 days prior to initiating one or more ECAs, the 30th day after the date such notice is provided, or (ii) in the case of a patient who Northside has presumptively determined to be eligible for less than the most generous assistance available under Northside's Financial Assistance Program, a reasonable time after the patient has had a chance to apply for more generous financial assistance.

Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDesc	ExplanationExplanationTxt
Part I, Line 3c:	In addition to the FPG thresholds, Northside's policy allows for medical indigency as well as an asset test for additional opportunity to qualify for charity. An application is completed by the patient and/or a scoring methodology is gathered from a third party using it's proprietary source to determine propensity to pay. These tools are used to determine someone's qualifications for a charity discount or free care in addition to the FPG thresholds stated above.
Part I, Line 6a:	Northside Hospital, Inc. prepares an annual community benefit report. The report is made available to the public.
Part I, Line 7:	The costing methodology used in determining the amount reported on line 7 is the cost to charge ratio calculated pursuant to the IRS schedule H worksheet 2 instructions.
Part I, Ln 7 Col(f):	Bad debt expense in the amount of $148,661,072 has been removed from total expense to compute the percentage in column (f).
Part II, Community Building Activities:	Biennially, Northside Hospital, Inc. ("Northside") conducts a community-based Physician Need Analysis for Northside Hospital-Cherokee ("NHC") and Northside Hospital-Forsyth ("NHF"). NHC and NHF each are sole county providers and as such must ensure that appropriate medical services are accessible to the residents of the communities served. Each hospital's Physician Need Analysis defines a geographic area compliant with the Federal Physician Self-Referral Law, identifies NHC and NHF medical staff members with an office in the defined geographic area, identifies non-Northside physicians with an office in the defined geographic area, and includes a quantitative analysis of each community's physician need ("Community Physician Need"). Based on the findings of the analyses, Northside engages in recruitment efforts designed to ensure that sufficient qualified health professionals are available to meet the identified Community Physician Need. Through these analyses, Northside has identified a defined numeric need for one-half physician full-time equivalent ("FTE") or more in twenty-seven specialties in NHC's Stark-compliant geographic area and a need for one-half physician FTE or more in thirty specialties in NHF's Stark-compliant geographic area. Both NHC and NHF are concentrating recruitment efforts on primary care and surgical specialties with an emphasis on recruiting needed physicians into Forsyth, Dawson, Pickens, and Cherokee counties to meet the identified Community Physician Need.
Part III, Line 4:	Northside provides for accounts receivable that could become uncollectible in the future by establishing an allowance for uncollectible accounts to reduce the carrying value of such receivables to their estimated net realizable value. Northside estimates the allowance for uncollectible accounts based on historical and expected collections, accounts receivable agings, trends in reimbursement, general business and economic conditions, and other collection indicators. The costing methodology used in determining the amount reported on lines 2 and 3 was a cost to charge ratio applied to bad debt charges written off, net of recoveries. Northside Hospital provides care to the community, regardless of a patient's ability to pay. The forgone charges are at the expense of Northside Hospital.
Part III, Line 8:	The costing methodology used in determining the amount reported on line 6 was a cost to charge ratio from the fiscal year 2017 Medicare Cost Report applied to Medicare charges. The Medicare program pays at amounts which are less than the cost of providing services. Any cost not reimbursed by Medicare is borne by Northside Hospital which eases the burden to the government for the provision of health care under the Medicare program.
Part III, Line 9b:	The Collection policy is specific to the timing and protocols followed in the debt collection process. However the hospital's Financial Assistance policy supercedes the debt collection policy in any situation where a patient qualifies for financial assistance.
Part VI, Line 2:	Northside developed a standardized process for conducting its Community Health Needs Assessment ("CHNA"). In short, Northside's CHNA process included: - Defining the Northside Community. - Reviewing Northside internal data. - Reviewing publicly available health data. - Reviewing proprietary quantitative consumer research data. - Performing stakeholder interviews. - Summarizing and prioritizing the health needs identified within Northside's Community. - Developing an Implementation Strategy to address the identified needs. - Presenting the finalized CHNA report and Implementation Strategy to the Board of Directors of Northside Hospital, Inc. for adoption. - Providing continued public access to Northside's CHNA report via www.Northside.com/Community and providing an opportunity for public feedback via Northside.chna@northside.com.Northside utilized an evidence-based model of population health adapted from the Wisconsin Population Health Institute and also utilized by County Health Rankings and Roadmaps. This model illustrates the complexity of assessing a community's health status by outlining the factors that act in combination to determine the current status of a community's health. The evidence-based model outlines the health determinants (demographics and social environment, healthcare access and quality, health behaviors, and the physical environment) that lead to the health outcomes in a community (morbidity and mortality).The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ("CDC") performed a systematic literature review to determine a common set of health metrics that should be used to measure both the health determinants and health outcomes. Northside used the CDC's list of "Most Frequently Recommended Health Metrics" to determine what variables to consider for Northside's current CHNA. Northside utilized the CDC's recommended variables and metric when they were readily available at the county level.
Part VI, Line 3:	Northside informs and educates patients and persons who are billed for patient care about their eligibility for financial assistance and Northside's Financial Assistance Program in numerous ways. Northside conspicuously posts notice of its Financial Assistance Program and how to access its Financial Assistance Policy and Financial Assistance Application at all major points of access to its inpatient and outpatient facilities, these points of access include the hospitals' patient waiting rooms and emergency departments. For patients that pre-register over the phone for hospital services, Northside verbally informs patients of its Financial Assistance Program and provides patients with information on how to obtain a copy of Northside's Financial Assistance Policy and Financial Assistance Application via Northside's website or via mail. Additionally, upon admission to one of its hospitals for services, Northside provides each patient a registration packet that includes information on its Financial Assistance Program. Further, a Financial Counselor will speak with all patients during either the pre-registration process or upon admission and explain Northside's Financial Assistance Program. If a patient indicates a need or requests more information regarding Financial Assistance, Northside will refer the patient to a Financial Assistance Counselor who will work directly with the patient to assist the patient in applying for Financial Assistance. In order to expedite the Financial Assistance process, Northside uses third party software to help identify patients that qualify for Financial Assistance based on publicly available information (e.g., participation in statefunded prescription programs, participation in the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program, participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly food stamps), subsidized school lunch program eligibility, or eligibility for other state or local assistance programs). Patients that are identified by such third-party software as eligible to receive Financial Assistance will not be required to complete the Financial Assistance Application and instead will automatically be deemed to qualify for Financial Assistance. Further, Northside's Financial Counselors will assist patients with applying to programs that they are eligible for, but not currently enrolled in, such as state or federal healthcare programs or drug discount programs. Northside also includes a summary of its Financial Assistance Program, including how to obtain more information and apply for Financial Assistance, on all patient bills. Lastly, Northside works with many community outreach programs to provide Financial Assistance to patients who qualify for free or discounted services through these programs. To expedite the Financial Assistance process for such patients, Northside provides a pre-approval process for all patients who are referred for medically necessary services via a community outreach program. This process allows patients to quality for Financial Assistance prior to receiving hospital services, thereby relieving the patients of the stress and burden of the financial aspect of their care, and allowing them to focus on their health, well-being and recovery.
Part VI, Line 4:	Northside began the Community Health Needs Assessment process by defining each hospital's community, which included (i) defining each facility's primary patient catchment area; (ii) mapping the medically underserved areas around each facility to ensure that no medically underserved, low income, or minority populations were excluded within or near the primary catchment areas; and (iii) mapping each facility's distribution of outpatient services across the region. The results of this process revealed significant overlap between the communities served by each Northside Hospital facility. Thus, Northside Hospital-Atlanta, Northside Hospital-Cherokee, and Northside Hospital-Forsyth developed a single community definition in compliance with IRS Section 501(r) Final Rule. The Northside Community consists of Fulton, Forsyth, Cherokee, DeKalb, Cobb, Gwinnett, Dawson, and Pickens Counties.In 2015, the estimated 3.7 million residents of the Northside Community accounted for 37% of Georgia's total population. The Northside Community is slightly younger than Georgia overall, with a median age of 35.6 compared to Georgia's 36.2. Overall, the 2015 Northside Community was comprised of a diverse population. Individual counties, however, have varying racial compositions, including two counties that have 90 percent of their populations belonging to just one racial group.Overall, the Northside Community has a high level of educational attainment and affluence when compared to Georgia as a whole. The median disposable income, household income, household net worth, and housing unit value in the Northside Community are all higher than Georgia's averages. Despite this general picture of affluence, however, disparities do exist, especially along racial and ethnic lines and between counties that Northside's Community Health Needs Assessment and Implantation Strategy aim to address.
Part VI, Line 5:	Northside Hospital, Inc. is a charitable organization and as such is engaged in numerous activities to provide relief to the poor, the distressed, or the underprivileged. Northside routinely provides financial assistance, health professions education, cash and in-kind donations, community health improvement services, research, and community-building activities. Many of these efforts have been reported on throughout this return.In addition to the numerous community benefit activities Northside engages in throughout the year, Northside also invests surplus funds back into expanding access to services for all people throughout its Community. For example, Northside invested approximately $280 million in building a new, state-of-the-art replacement hospital, medical office building and parking deck in Cherokee County. The replacement hospital increased Northside Cherokee's inpatient capacity from 84 inpatient beds to 105 and provides the Community with a more visible, easy-to-access hospital conveniently located off a major interstate highway. In Forsyth County, in order to meet the community's healthcare needs, Northside expanded Northside Hospital Forsyth's inpatient bed capacity from 247 inpatient beds to 284. In Fulton County, the System's largest and oldest hospital campus also is undergoing significant expansion and renovation. Northside is investing approximately $200 million in Northside Atlanta through the construction of a new eight-story medical/surgical tower, addition of four operating rooms and other campus-wide renovations as well as a new parking deck. Upon completion of the new eight-story tower, Northside Atlanta's inpatient bed capacity will increase from 537 beds to 621 beds.
Part VI, Line 6:	Northside Hospital, Inc. includes three hospitals - Northside Hospital - Atlanta in Sandy Springs, Northside Hospital - Cherokee in Canton and Northside Hospital - Forsyth in Cumming. These hospitals and nearly 80 other offsite locations make up the Northside Hospital System which serves a primary area that includes 21 counties with a total population of more than 5 million. In addition to providing hospital-based medical services, the Northside Hospital System provides a number of community-based services, designed to improve the health of area residents. Working with various organizations, hospital employees and medical staff, the Northside Hospital System participates in health education and screenings as well as provides support activities for individuals in the community living with a serious or chronic health condition.In addition to the excellent medical care and educational programs we provide to the community, the hospital also provides financial support to a number of other non-profit, community and civic causes whose missions and objectives complement Northside Hospital's Mission and Values.Northside Hospital gives back a significant amount to the community. We measure the success of our efforts by the number of residents we reach with our messages related to health and wellness. Our mission is to work to positively impact the overall health of the communities we serve. Clearly, education, outreach and community service allow us to broaden our impact beyond the walls of our facilities.
Part VI, Line 7	Northside Hospital, Inc. is not required to file a community benefit report under Georgia law. However, we produce an annual report which is made available to the public on our website, www.northside.com.

MR. QUATTROCCHI HAS LED THE ORGANIZATION FOR MORE THAN FOURTEEN YEARS AS CEO AND FOR SEVENTEEN YEARS AS A SENIOR EXECUTIVE PRIOR TO BECOMING CEO. AS A RESULT OF HIS LEADERSHIP AND LONGEVITY, AND TO ASSIST IN HIS RETENTION, NORTHSIDE'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS PROVIDED THE CEO A SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN ("SERP") AGREEMENT WHICH IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE HIM SUPPLEMENTAL INCOME OVER HIS LIFE IN RETIREMENT. THE SERP PAYMENTS ARE BASED ON A MATHEMATICAL FORMULA, PURSUANT TO A SIGNED CONTRACT, AND ARE REVIEWED AND ASSESSED FOR REASONABLENESS BY AN OUTSIDE CONSULTANT AND THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND ULTIMATELY BY THE FULL BOARD BEFORE PAYMENT IS MADE.

Below is a summary of the major successes in 2017: - Served 44 Georgia counties, diagnosed and treated nearly 13,000 cancer patients, provided 65 new cancer clinical trials, and screened 1,382 participants in our cancer screenings. - Maintained 12 cancer related accreditation and quality designations. - Expanded our cancer registry to an integrated Oncology Analytics program. - Established the NHCI Liver and Pancreatic Cancer Program. - Increased cases presented at cancer conference by 25% and increased engagement through web conferencing by 32%. - Exceeded national benchmark quality standards in breast, lung, and gastrointestinal cancers. - Expanded survivorship care program resulting in 89% of breast cancer patients reporting a better understanding of surveillance care. - Expanded oncology clinical and support services including pharmacy, nursing, hereditary cancer program, social work, and nutrition. - Continued to expand advanced technologies in cancer care specifically in the areas of surgical care and radiation oncology. - Continued success with NHCI Oncology Research Program, meeting 94% of credit goal. Radiology Services In FY2017 Northside's radiology network experienced volume of over 516,000 total patient encounters. In furtherance of its charitable mission, Northside developed an Imaging Charity Referral Program which aims to connect uninsured/underinsured patients in need of imaging services with one of Northside's twenty-three charitable imaging locations ("Charitable Imaging Location"). (While all Northside locations accept patients regardless of their ability to pay, and provide financial assistance to those who qualify for such assistance under Northside's Financial Assistance Program, Northside's Charitable Imaging Locations have specific and separate indigent/charity care commitments resulting from Georgia's Certificate of Need program.) In 2017, Northside's Imaging Charity Referral Program received over 800 referrals from its safety net clinic and federal qualified health center referral partners. Northside has a sizeable radiology network consisting of inpatient and outpatient centers located throughout its service area. In order to provide consistent, high-quality, efficient services across the network, Northside focusses on three priority area: 1) patient safety, 2) clinical excellence and 3) operations. Over FY17, the Organization achieved numerous accomplishments in each focus area with a few notable accomplishments highlighted below. - Collaborated with Phoenix Technology Corporation and Northside Hospital Quality Improvement to develop quarterly report cards for all hospital-based areas and physician practices with radiation emitting equipment. The report cards are reviewed by the Radiation Safety Officer and outliers are discussed in Radiation Safety Committee. - Northside Atlanta successfully completed: - FDA inspection at each mammography location - ACR accreditation and on-site surveys at all radiology locations for CT, MRI, Nuclear Medicine, PET/CT, Ultrasound and Mammography (as applicable) - Northside Cherokee successfully completed: - ACR re-accreditation and on-site surveys at all radiology locations for CT, MRI, Nuclear Medicine, Mammography and Ultrasound (as applicable) - FDA inspections at each mammography location - State Licensing Survey for the Cherokee replacement hospital - Georgia DNR site visit for Nuclear Medicine at the hospital - Northside Forsyth successfully completed: - The re-accreditation survey process for The Joint Commission(TJC) Primary Stroke Disease Site - Inspection at each mammography location - ACR accreditation and on-site surveys at all radiology locations for CT, MRI, Nuclear Medicine, PET/CT, Ultrasound and Mammography (as applicable) Surgical Services In FY2017, total surgeries increased 5.4% across the Northside system, surpassing 56,000. Northside has one of the highest volume surgical programs in Metro Atlanta and is continually striving to enhance its service offering and improve quality. Northside Hospital Forsyth is Georgia's leader in same-day joint replacements, performing more surgeries than any other hospital in the state, and has earned Disease Specific Certification for hip and knee joint replacement from The Joint Commission. As part of the Northside Hospital health care system, the hospital also offers patients expertise that ranks in the top one percent of all robotic surgery programs in the U.S. In furtherance of its mission to provide state-of-the-art quality healthcare, Northside Hospital Forsyth became the first hospital in Georgia to perform robotic total knee replacement surgeries. In addition to the financial assistance services provided to patients who qualify for such services under Northside's Financial Assistance Program, in furtherance of its charitable mission and in response to an identified community need, Northside created the Financial Access Surgery Program ("FASP"). The FASP was established and designed to provide medically-necessary, non-emergent surgical services and all related ancillary services at no cost, to uninsured/underinsured patients. Northside entered into formal referral agreements with several community organizations including Federally Qualified Health Centers and safety net clinics located across Georgia. Demand for the program was so great that Northside subsequently created the FASP Overflow Program and expanded the number of locations to four (4). In 2017, the FASP received over 950 referrals from its community partners. Women's Services In FY2017, delivery volume remains strong across the Northside system with deliveries surpassing 20,000. NHA is consistently ranked as the nation's leader in maternity services, delivering more babies than any other hospital. In CY2015, the most recent data available, Northside Hospital-Atlanta again was the national leader in maternity services with just over 16,100 births while the next closest provider had just over 14,800 births. In Georgia, NHA is the leader in maternity services including high-risk perinatal services. In 2016, the most recent data available, NHA cared for nearly 781 high-risk perinatal patients with the next closest provider caring for approximately 509 patients. NHA's expertise in caring for the most fragile neonates also is unsurpassed. In 2016, the most recent data available, NHA cared for more than 5,838 neonates (excluding normal newborns) with the next closest provider caring for more than 2,645 neonates (excluding normal newborns). Georgia ranks "at or near the bottom" in maternal deaths in the US, which is a serious public health concern within the state. Currently, the number of deaths and causes of maternal deaths are not properly documented. As such, the Centers for Disease Control determined that a review committee should be convened to investigate maternal mortality in the state. The Georgia Maternal Mortality Review Committee aims to develop prevention recommendations for maternal death and disseminate their findings throughout Georgia to policy makers, healthcare providers, healthcare facilities, and the general public. In furtherance of its charitable mission and to enhance public health, Northside's Clinical Outcomes Manager joined this committee and actively participates in the committee's activities with the full monetary support of Northside.
