        <ExplanationTxt>THE HOSPITAL IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT CORPORATION THAT HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED AS TAX-EXEMPT PURSUANT TO SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. THE HOSPITAL APPLIES ACCOUNTING POLICIES THAT PRESCRIBE WHEN TO RECOGNIZE AND HOW TO MEASURE THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT EFFECTS OF INCOME TAX POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN ON ITS INCOME TAX RETURNS. THESE RULES REQUIRE MANAGEMENT TO EVALUATE THE LIKELIHOOD THAT, UPON EXAMINATION BY THE RELEVANT TAXING JURISDICTIONS, THOSE INCOME TAX POSITIONS WOULD BE SUSTAINED. BASED ON THAT EVALUATION, THE HOSPITAL ONLY RECOGNIZES THE MAXIMUM BENEFIT OF EACH INCOME TAX POSITION THAT IS MORE THAN 50% LIKELY OF BEING SUSTAINED. TO THE EXTENT THAT ALL OR A PORTION OF THE BENEFITS OF AN INCOME TAX POSITION ARE NOT RECOGNIZED, A LIABILITY WOULD BE RECOGNIZED FOR THE UNRECOGNIZED BENEFITS, ALONG WITH ANY INTEREST AND PENALTIES THAT WOULD RESULT FROM DISALLOWANCE OF THE POSITION. SHOULD ANY SUCH PENALTIES AND INTEREST BE INCURRED, THEY WOULD BE RECOGNIZED AS OPERATING EXPENSES. BASED ON THE RESULTS OF MANAGEMENT'S EVALUATION, NO LIABILITY IS RECOGNIZED IN THE ACCOMPANYING BALANCE SHEET FOR UNRECOGNIZED INCOME TAX POSITIONS. FURTHER, NO INTEREST OR PENALTIES HAVE BEEN ACCRUED OR CHARGED TO EXPENSE AS OF JULY 31, 2016 AND 2015 OR FOR THE YEARS THEN ENDED. THE HOSPITAL'S TAX RETURNS ARE SUBJECT TO POSSIBLE EXAMINATION BY THE TAXING AUTHORITIES. FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES, THE TAX RETURNS ESSENTIALLY REMAIN OPEN FOR POSSIBLE EXAMINATION FOR A PERIOD OF THREE YEARS AFTER THE RESPECTIVE FILING DEADLINES OF THOSE RETURNS.</ExplanationTxt>

THE INTERVIEW SELECTION PROCESS WAS CAREFUL TO INCLUDE REPRESENTATION THAT REFLECTS THE MAKE-UP OF PATIENTS RECEIVING SERVICES IN THE ORGANIZATION'S SERVICE AREA (RELIGIOUS, BUSINESS, POLITICAL, PUBLIC HEALTH, THE ELDERLY, PHYSICIANS AND AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS). ELEVEN (11) OTHER PARTICIPANTS, ALL MEMBERS OF THE AMERICUS ROTARY CLUB, RECEIVED MODIFIED WRITTEN VERSIONS OF A SURVEY AND COMPLETED DURING AN OFFICIAL MEETING. ALSO, APPROXIMATELY 100 INVITATIONS WERE SENT OUT TO INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY WITH ALMOST HALF ACCEPTING AND PARTICIPATING IN ONE OF TWO INPUT SESSIONS.

PARTICIPANTS WERE ASKED TO MAKE A LIST OF IDEAS THAT COULD IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF THE COMMUNITY. THE PARTICIPANTS WERE THEN PUT INTO SMALL GROUPS TO DISCUSS AND DEVELOP 8 TO 10 IDEAS TO BRING TO THE WHOLE GROUP. FINALLY, ONCE ALL THE IDEAS WERE GATHERED AND PLACED ON A STICKY WALL, EACH PARTICIPANT HAD TO MARK 2 IDEAS THAT THEY CONSIDERED TO BE SIGNIFICANT ISSUES FACING THE COMMUNITY. COMMUNITY PARTICIPANTS INCLUDED PHYSICIANS AND OTHER MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS; EDUCATORS; PROFESSIONALS; REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB, THE CITY OF AMERICUS, CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, AND THE SUMTER COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT; RELIGIOUS LEADERS.</ExplanationTxt>
