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.

Supplemental Information Detail SupplementalInformationDetail (14 entries)

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 $110,302,320 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 2016 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 metrics 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 IRC 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 Implementation 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 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 is investing $280 million in building a new, state-of-the-art replacement hospital, medical office building and parking deck in Cherokee County. The replacement hospital will increase Northside Cherokee's inpatient capacity from 84 inpatient beds to 105 and will provide the Community with a more visible, easy-to-access hospital conveniently located off a major interstate highway. In Forsyth County, Northside has invested $44.6 million in a three-story medical/surgical tower expansion at Northside Hospital-Forsyth. This expansion will increase Northside Forsyth's inpatient bed capacity from 231 inpatient beds to 247. In Fulton County, the System's largest and oldest hospital campus also is undergoing significant expansion and renovation. Northside is investing $128.5 million in Northside Atlanta through the construction of a new five-story medical/surgical tower, campus-wide renovations and a new parking deck. Upon completion, Northside Atlanta's inpatient bed capacity will increase from 537 beds to 590 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.

Part I, Line 4b

Mr. Quattrocchi has led the organization for more than thirteen 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. The SERP vests and disburses incremental funding payouts each two or three years. Calendar year 2015 was such a year. Northside does not consider the SERP payment to be deferred compensation for tax reporting purposes. The CEO is eligible for an annual incentive which includes various measurements for achievements of quality, operational, strategic, and financial targets as established by the Board. The compensation committee determines the incentive plan and approves the payments/calculations in accordance with the plan annually. In addition, Joseph Ricotta, M.D. (included in the top five highest paid employees) received a contractual payment of $768,865 during 2015, which is reported in Part II, column B(iii).

Program Service Accomplishments (cont'd)	Emergency Services In FY2016, total emergency room visits increased 4.8% across the Northside system, surpassing 169,000. Due to continued volume growth and in order to serve patients in a timely manner, Northside initiated several projects in FY2016 with the goals of reducing patient wait times and improving operational efficiencies. These projects included: - "Team Triage" at the Forsyth ER which expanded triage capacity and enables patients to be seen by a provider in the triage area that can examine, treat and discharge the patient without having to place the patient in an Emergency Department bed. This concept allows patients to be seen faster and cuts door-to-triage and door-to-provider times. Given its success, this concept is being implemented at the Atlanta campus in FY 2017. - The Atlanta campus ER initiated a process improvement project dubbed "Decision-to-Discharge - Actual Discharge". This initiative's goal was to improve operational efficiency and improve ER throughput. At the project's conclusion, Atlanta's ER experienced a 6-7 minute reduction in the timeframe to deliver care. Oncology Services In 2016, the Northside Hospital Cancer Institute ("NHCI") continued to strengthen its services and infrastructure to better support the growing cancer care needs of the communities served. Below is a summary of the major successes in 2016: - Successfully completed Year 2 of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Oncology Research Program grant and ranked No. 2 NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) community site in the U.S. for accruals to NRG Oncology research protocols. - Continued to be ranked nationally by NCI as a top accrual site to high-priority Precision Medicine trials. - Received three-year Commission on Cancer (CoC) reaccreditation with commendation. - Awarded Outstanding Achievement Award for the 5th consecutive survey cycle by CoC. - Received three-year National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers reaccreditation. - First hospital in Georgia to be awarded the Lung Cancer Disease Specific Care Certification by Joint Commission, making NHCI one of only six hospitals in the U.S. with this certification. - NHCI's affiliated partners, Georgia Cancer Specialists (GCS) and Atlanta Cancer Care (ACC), continue active participation in the Quality Oncology Practice Initiative (QOPI) program. - Enrolled in the National Quality Measures for Breast Centers (NQMBC) data submission and benchmarking initiative. - Successfully completed Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT) reaccreditation for Blood and Marrow Transplant clinical program. - Chosen to partner with Cancer Support Community Atlanta (CSCA) for the Cancer Moonshot 2020 Initiative. Radiology Services - In late FY2015 Northside increased its imaging network from 36 locations to nearly 60 locations. The expanded geographic coverage enables Northside to provide complimentary services to Oncology and Primary Care providers, as well as to provide expanded access to imaging services to its patients. - In FY2016 Northside's radiology network experienced a volume of over 535,000 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 fifteen 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.) Initiated in July 2015, the Imaging Charity Referral Program received nearly 300 patient referrals in the first three (3) months. - In FY2016, Northside's Imaging Charity Referral Program received over 800 referrals from its safety net clinic and federal qualified health center referral partners. - Below is a testimonial from one of Northside's Imaging Charity Referral Program partners, demonstrating the effectiveness of this valuable outreach program. "Good Samaritan Health Center (Atlanta) is a non-profit medical clinic serving uninsured and underserved families throughout the Atlanta metro region. Without Northside's program, our patients would not have access to ultrasounds, CT scans, or MRIs. The team at Northside demonstrates compassion and caring for our patients. They process referrals in a timely manner. They contact every patient, often multiple times. The team also contacts our providers with updates and insures all reports are delivered immediately. We had an uninsured 32 year-old mother present. She was concerned about pelvic pain. Her provider scheduled a pelvic ultrasound which was scheduled within two weeks. The radiology report was promptly sent to us and the radiologist reported a possible mass on her ovary and recommended a follow up CT scan. Northside's team scheduled the CT scan immediately. The results indicated a highly suspicious ovarian mass. We then reached out to one of Northside's patient navigators who scheduled her with gynecology oncology. The patient has since underwent surgery which revealed ovarian cancer. Fortunately, her tumor has now been removed and the cancer was detected before metastasizing. She went from presenting as a new patient to having life-saving surgery within two months due entirely to Northside's exceptional program." [Medical Services Director - Good Samaritan Health Center] Surgical Services - In FY2016, total surgeries increased 8.4% across the Northside system, surpassing 53,000. - Northside hosted the Southeastern Society for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons' Annual Breast Symposium. The symposium attracted over 400 attendees with international participation from over 20 countries. - In June 2016, Northside Atlanta implemented a colorectal surgical site infection bundle. The bundle is a series of strategies/interventions aimed at decreasing surgical site infections in colorectal surgery patients. The effort included surgeon, anesthesia and nurse-led initiatives that are aimed at infection prevention. In June 2016, Northside Atlanta, Forsyth and Cherokee had zero colon surgical site infections. - 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 FY2016, the FASP received over 700 referrals from its community partners. - Below is a testimonial from one of Northside's FASP referral partners, demonstrating the effectiveness of this valuable outreach program. "We are the busiest safety-net clinic in Gwinnett County; we provided more than 17,000 patient encounters during 2015. We have been a FASP partner since Spring 2012. FASP has been the most important hospital-based charitable program we work with. When we see patients back in our office after a FASP referral, they are always highly complementary of the excellent care they received. Many patients have had years of medical uncertainty and discomfort before FASP and are so relieved and grateful after FASP they are reduced to tears when thanking us for the services they received.
Too often we find that low cost diagnostic and surgical services are in	limited supply and available only at limited times. Too often we find that, even after discounting, many organizations and providers' fees remain unaffordable for our patients. In contrast, FASP accepts our referrals year round and is always striving to help us be responsive to patients' various medical needs. If not for FASP, we could not have been as impactful in the lives of so many patients in recent years." [Executive Director - Good Samaritan Health Center - Lawrenceville] Women's Services - In FY2016, delivery volume remains strong across the Northside system with deliveries surpassing 20,000. - Northside Hospital Atlanta ("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 2015, the most recent data available, NHA cared for nearly 780 high-risk perinatal patients with the next closest provider caring for approximately 530 patients. - NHA's expertise in caring for the most fragile neonates also is unsurpassed. In 2015, the most recent data available, NHA cared for more than 5,100 neonates (excluding normal newborns) with the next closest provider caring for more than 2,000 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.
