Wellstar applies FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, which addresses accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions. It also provides guidance on when tax positions are recognized in an entity's financial statements and how the values of these positions are determined. There is no impact on Wellstar's combined financial statements as a result of the application of ASC 740."ExplanationTxt

SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5INPUT FROM COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVES & COMMUNITY SOURCES: Kennestone and Windy Hill Hospitals integrated multiple sources of data from national and state web-based data platforms with multiple primary data gathering methods (see list below). As a partner in the strategic planning process utilized by Cobb & Douglas Public Health (CDPH) called Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partners (MAPP) from the National Association of County & City Health Officials, the hospital leveraged the findings from the community health needs assessments conducted in tax year 2012. Through a grant by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Kennestone and Windy Hill hospitals partnered with CDPH and formed coalition, Cobb 2020, to conduct its needs assessment via multiple modalities: MAPP workgroups, focus groups, surveys, Key Informant interviews, and implementation teams to act upon identified strategic issues in the community. To collect robust data for counties WellStar serves outside of Cobb, WellStar enlisted expertise of county and regional public health officials, independent consultants, and other Key Informants. A listing of collaborators can be found in the Appendix of the hospital facility's CHNA reports publicly available at wellstar.org. Quantitative Data Sources Including: 1. Georgia Department of Public Health, OASIS 2. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Vital Statistics 3. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) 4. U.S. Census Bureau 5.

SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 6AORGANIZATIONS INCLUDED IN COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA): While both Kennestone and Windy Hill HOSPITALs each conduct its own community health needs assessment there may be some overlap with the other hospitals in WellStar Health System simply because of the geographic constraints and structure of the organization. The community served therefore is defined by similar zip codes and areas of services.

SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11PROGRAMS & STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY: KENNESTONE / WINDY HILL HOSPITAL Based on the prioritized health needs, WellStar will implement a five-year, two-phased Community Benefit program that is sustainable and strategically aligned with the WellStar Health System mission and vision to address the prioritized health needs of the uninsured and low-income populations. This is accomplished through expanding provider participation, education, outreach and prevention activities/programs to promote healthy lifestyles and access to care (Phase 1) and creating a collaborative safety net organization for shared accountability to leverage and maximize complementary skills and capacity building (Phase 2). Currently, Phase 2 has shifted from creating an organization to integrating this type of care delivery into the community benefit services WellStar delivers at a health system-level across all hospitals. Progress ongoing in Phase 2: Strategy: Improve access to care to vulnerable populations - Strengthen collaborative partnerships with community stakeholders to increase access to preventative and primary care, improve quality and reduce costs. - Reduce preventable hospital admissions, re-admissions and Emergency Department visits by redirecting care to community clinics and primary care via the hospital-based care management program. - Increase the number of hospital-affiliated/WellStar Physicians Group primary care providers and specialists providing free or low-cost healthcare programs/clinics via a Graduate Medical Education program. (Commences in 2017) - Participate as a Cobb Access Health integrator/partner to build a low-income healthcare delivery system in Cobb County. (not being pursued as a separate entity, but as a part of community benefit services delivered by WellStar.) - Improve medication access through centralized reduced cost Pharmaceutical Patient Access Programs and the Federal 340B Drug Pricing Program for the management of chronic disease and to reduce complications. (Currently assessing the program) - Evaluate hospital-based subsidized health services to more effectively and efficiently allocate assets addressing prioritized needs of the medically underserved and uninsured. STRATEGY: Promote healthy lifestyles via preventative care, programs and activities - Engage faith-based organizations in coordination and provision of care (MEMPHIS Model). (Pilot to be conducted at WellStar Paulding Hospital.) - Expand free health screenings to the underserved and uninsured through WellStar Corporate & Community Health. - Provide at-risk, low income first time moms with care and education for healthy pregnancies via nurse home visiting program. (Not being pursued at this time.) - Collaborate with Cobb2020 Healthy Lifestyle initiatives (including physical activity, healthy eating, and obesity). - Provide community benefit leadership/consultation for the prevention and management of diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease. (Being delivered on a System-wide level.) - Increase cancer prevention and education community outreach (including smoking cessation program) utilizing WellStar Cancer Program team. (Underway) - Improve prevention-based educational resources and the referral process to free or low-cost healthcare clinics for continuity of care within the Emergency Department. UNADDRESSED CHNA NEEDS - Selection criteria for KENNESTONE HOSPITAL'S prioritized health needs were primarily based upon the bandwidth to build a sustainable community benefit model focused on preventable health behaviors and access to care. Sexually transmitted infections and teen pregnancy are not addressed leaving awareness education with schools, family and churches since the health needs are more cultural and societal. Improvement to health needs stemming from socioeconomic and physical environmental FACTORS such as air quality and transportation, gain traction from public policy and education. A health system can complement efforts to impact policy, but has to rely on public health, state and local municipalities and federal governmental agencies to drive these types of health improvements. Key questions when addressing health needs are: 1.) Do we have existing facilities and resources dedicated to the health needs showing clear disparities and poor performance? And, 2.) do we have effective and feasible interventions, a successful solution that has the potential to solve multiple problems, and the opportunity to intervene at the prevention level? Other needs not addressed are either beyond the scope or expertise of KENnESTONE Hospital, not being addressed at this time or are being addressed by WellStar on a system level or via other partners in public health.
SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 13BFAP ELIGBILITY CRITERIA - INCOME LEVEL OTHER THAN FPG: The hospital abides by the financial assistance requirements under IRC 501(R)(5). IRC 501(R)(5) requires health care facilities to limit the amounts charged for emergency and other medically necessary care that is provided to individuals eligible for assistance under the health care facilities financial assistance policy to not more than the amounts generally billed to individuals who have insurance. The hospital extends its sliding scale for Community Financial Aid eligibility well beyond the minimum government levels to 300% of FPG. WellStar has chosen to use the average of the three best negotiated commercial rates as the trigger to not exceed in the application of the discounts/amounts charged to patients, on our sliding scale.
SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 13HFAP ELIGBILITY CRITERIA - OTHER CRITERIA: Other special circumstances may qualify a patient for full indigent or sliding scAle Charity benefits. Special circumstances may include but not limited to: - Patient deceased, with verification that there is no estate. - Unable to contact patient but Propensity to Pay software returns a low ability/low propensity designation.
SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 15METHOD FOR APPLYING FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: In order to qualify for Financial Assistance, cooperation with WellStar Health System hospital Community Financial Assistance staff is necessary in identifying and determining alternative sources of payment or coverage from public and private payment programs.

SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 6APUBLICATION OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT: Kennestone Hospital, Inc.(consisting of Kennestone Hospital and Windy Hill Hospital) is an affiliate of Wellstar Health System, Inc. which on an annual basis issues a community benefit report. This report is subsequently distributed in and around the five county service area of the health system. It is also annually filed with Cobb County and the state of Georgia Department of Community Health. Additionally the information on community benefit is included in aggregate for Wellstar Health System, Inc. and affiliated hospitals as part of the Georgia Hospital Association's annual report. On an annual basis the hospital reports its community health benefits report to the Georgia Hospital Association (GHA). GHA aggregates the hospital specific reports into a statewide community health benefit report. The State of Georgia also requires hospitals to file the Hospital Financial Survey and the Indigent Care Trust Fund Survey so that it can collect information on hospital financial class categories and also to determine the amount of uncompensated care by hospital. THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT CAN BE FOUND AT THE FOLLOWING WEBSITES: Kennestone HOSPITAL: http://www.wellstar.org/ about-Us/documents/chna/kennestone_chna_06172013.PDF Windy Hill HOSPITAL: http://www.wellstar.org/ about-us/documents/chna/windyhill_chna_06172013.PDF
SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7COST TO CHARGE RATIO: For purposes of the IRS Form 990 Schedule H, Wellstar Health System and Affiliates (including Kennestone and Windy Hill Hospitals) have estimated the current year cost to charge ratio for each hospital as it is reported in the annual community benefit report and as it will be reported in the state's Annual Hospital Financial Survey.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A, LINE 2METHODOLOGY USED TO ESTIMATE BAD DEBT: The reported bad debt charges is derived from the unpaid balances of patient accounts that are deemed uncollectible after 120 days of collection effort by the hospital's patient financial services staff. The unpaid patient accounts are then sent to collection agencies and any collected amount is deemed as bad debt recovery. The source of this data is the hospital's detailed financial trial balance. The net reported bad debt charges are then multiplied by the Hospital Financial Survey calculated cost to charge ratio to arrive at the estimated bad debt expense. SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A, LINE 3 METHOLODOGY & RATIONALE USED TO DETERMINE BAD DEBT ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENT'S ELIGIBLE UNDER ORGANIZATION'S FAP: The bad debt attributable to patients eligible under the hospital's financial assistance program is determined using a weekly bad debt conversion report for a period of twelve months. The conversion rate for this period is used to determine this bad debt category. The total reported conversion charges is multiplied by a calculated cost to charge ratio to arrive at the cost of bad debt attributable to patient's eligible under the hospital's FAP. SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A, LINE 4 FOOTNOTE ON BAD DEBT & RATIONALE FOR COMMUNITY BENEFIT: The following footnote is detailed in the Wellstar Health System, Inc. and Affiliates Combined Financial Statements related to bad debt or uncollectible accounts: "During 2011, Wellstar adopted the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Update (2011-07), Healthcare Entities (Topic 954). ASU 2011-07 requires the reclassification of the provision for uncollectible accounts associated with patient service revenue from an operating expense to a deduction from patient service revenue (net of contractual allowances and discounts)." "Wellstar recognizes patient service revenue associated with services provided to patients with third-party payor coverage on the basis of contractual rates for the services rendered. For uninsured patients that do not qualify for community financial aid, Wellstar recognizes revenue on the basis of its discounted rates for services provided. On the basis of historical experience, a significant portion of Wellstar's uninsured patients are unable or unwilling to pay for the services provided. Thus, Wellstar records a significant provision for uncollectible accounts related to uninsured patients in the period the services are provided." Subsequent to the end of the reporting period a propensity to pay review of patient accounts often results in prior year bad debt accounts which are deemed eligible for the organization's financial assistance policy. Those bad debt accounts are reclassified as charity and thus our rationale for including in community benefit.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B, LINE 8MEDICARE SHORTFALLS: Kennestone and Windy Hill Hospitals are providers of inpatient and outpatient services to Medicare program beneficiaries at determined rates. Without the participation in the Medicare program these patients may not have had convenient access to those services. The Medicare shortfall on SCHEDULE H, Part III, Section B, line 7 represents the uncompensated difference between the expected reimbursement and the Medicare charges for those services stated at cost. We determine a cost to charge ratio for Medicare patients as part of the annual filing of the Medicare cost report.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION C, LINE 9BCOLLECTION PRACTICES: The policy written for collection practices that applies to all Wellstar Health System entities incorporates guidelines for personnel in the admissions and patient access areas to be trained in identifying patients that might qualify for financial assistance. It is also the policy of all Wellstar facilities to have at least one employee or contractor available at all times, especially in the hospitals with emergency rooms, who can provide assistance with the paperwork necessary to help patients who would qualify for governmental and other assistance programs.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 2NEEDS ASSESSMENT: To assess the current health and well-being of the community served, WELLSTAR HEALTH SYSTEM, INC., KENNESTONE HOSPITAL, AND WINDY HILL HOSPITAL, conducted a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA), a collaborative effort involving hospital leadership, public health agencies, Cobb2020, and a diverse coalition of community stakeholders. Partners represented a broad knowledge base of the hospital's primary service area comprising Bartow, Douglas, Cherokee, Cobb, and Paulding counties and some outlying zip codes determined by utilization. To assess the current community health status and capture a broad base of input, collaborators engaged IN a strategic process called Mobilizing for Action Through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP) Launched by Cobb & Douglas Public Health (CDPH). MAPP provides the framework for creating a community-driven health improvement plan through different assessments to evaluate: - Prevalent health issues - Health issues that are important to the community members - Availability of health services - Forces that impact community health WellStar Health System (and affiliates) is a key stakeholder in MOBLIZING FOR ACTION THROUGH PLANNING AND PARTNERSHIPS ("MAPP"). MAPP, developed by the National Association of County and City Health Officials ("NACCHO") in collaboration with the CDC, provides a structured guidance on creating and implementing a community-wide strategic planning process focused on improving the health and safety of our population. Through MAPP, a broad collection of community partners and residents come together to identify and prioritize health and safety issues and to identify resources for addressing them. The process results in an actionable community health improvement plan (CHIP) for measurable improvements in the community's health and quality of life as well as a scorecard for implementation and evaluation. The resulting community plan does not focus on one agency or community health challenge; rather, MAPP provides a long-term strategy that addresses the multiple factors that affect health in the community. Community involvement throughout the creation and the implementation of a health improvement plan results in creative solutions to community health problems with an improved focus on priorities, reduced duplication of services, increased collaboration on projects and activities, and increased capacity to garner additional resources. Moreover, continuous community involvement leads to community ownership of the process. Community ownership, in turn, increases the credibility and sustainability of the health improvement efforts.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 3PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBLITY FOR ASSISTANCE: The hospital provides notice of the availability of community financial Assistance via: - Signage - Patient Brochure - Billing Statement - Collection Action Letter - Online at http://www.wellstar.org/pages/online-bill-pay.aspx Kennestone and Windy Hill Hospitals provide its patients with hospital personnel or contracted personnel who are trained in all aspects of governmental programs, payments plans, charity discounts, and other financial assistance offered to assist them in their hospital bills. If the patient is eligible for federal or state assistance programs, a staff member is knowledgeable in the steps necessary to qualify those individuals. If a patient is indigent or charity eligible they will be offered assistance through the hospital's charity and indigent care policy including the state's indigent care trust fund. If the patient has no other insurance and fails to qualify for indigent care assistance, the financial counselor can then offer the patient an opportunity to accept a payment plan with discounted payment options based on their ability to pay immediately or over time. All patient are afforded these opportunities.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 4COMMUNITY INFORMATION: As part of an integrated health system, WellStar Health system, inc. and Kennestone and Windy Hill hospitals' service area overlaps with the other three WellStar hospitals. This intersecting impact across WellStar's five-county primary service area of approximately 1.3 million residents in Bartow, Cherokee, Cobb, Douglas, and Paulding counties is not easily determined by a county by county analysis. The majority of patient volume comes from this service area although other health systems have a presence in the area as well. Demographically, the region is one of the fastest growing in the state as well as the country and the expansion of the services for the patient population reflects a desire to offer healthcare "closer to home" since WellStar is considered a part of a larger metropolitan Atlanta MARKET. ECONOMICALLY, the region is strong in per capita income but given recent trends a rise in the uninsured and indigent population has occurred. Kennestone and Windy Hill Hospitals are two of five hospitals that are affiliated with Wellstar Health System. the primary service area of the system is located in the Northwest Georgia area and receives the majority of its patients from one of five counties (Cherokee, Cobb, Douglas, Bartow and Paulding). Generally about 85% to 90% of the patient volume comes from this service area although other health systems have a presence in the area as well.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 5PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH: As stated in the Wellstar Health System, Inc and Affiliates audited financial statements for the period ended 6/30/2015, Kennestone and Windy Hill Hospitals (affiliates of Wellstar Health System, Inc.) operate as charitable organizations consistent with the requirements of Internal Revenue Code SECTION 501(c)(3) and the "community benefit standard" of IRS Ruling 69-545. In this regard the governing body of the organization and/or its parent is composed of prominent citizens in the community, medical staff privileges in the hospital are available to all qualified physicians in the area consistent with the size and nature of the facility; Kennestone Hospital operates a full-time emergency room open to all regardless of ability to pay; and the hospitals (Kennestone and Windy Hill) provide care to the needy members of the community consistent with its charity care policy. The hospital's excess funds are generally applied to expansion and replacement of existing facilities and equipment, amortization of indebtedness, improvement of patient care, community benefit activities including health education, preventive screenings and health fairs, research, subsidized health services, and charity care. Kennestone Hospital committed approximately $ 19.7 million and Windy Hill Hospital committed approximately $ 67.4 million in capital expenditures for the year to meet those needs.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 6AFFILIATED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM: Recognized as the fifth most integrated healthcare delivery system in the country, WellStar Health System is one of the largest not-for-profit health systems in Georgia and serves a population of nearly 1.3 million residents in five counties. The vision of WellStar is to deliver world-class healthcare. WellStar includes WellStar Kennestone Regional Medical Center (anchored by WellStar Kennestone Hospital) and WellStar Cobb, Douglas, Paulding and Windy Hill hospitals; the WellStar Medical Group; Urgent Care Centers; Acworth Health Park; Health Place; Homecare; Hospice; Atherton Place; Paulding Nursing Center; and the WellStar Foundation.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 7STATE FILING OF COMMUNITY HEALTH BENEFIT REPORT: On an annual basis the hospital reports its community health benefits report to the Georgia Hospital Association (GHA). GHA aggregates the hospital specific reports into a statewide community health benefit report. The State of Georgia also requires hospitals to file the Hospital Financial Survey and the Indigent Care Trust Fund Survey so that it can collect information on hospital financial class categories and also to determine the amount of uncompensated care by hospital.

In this regard, the governing body of the organization and/or its parent is composed of prominent citizens in the community, medical staff privileges in the hospital are available to all qualified physicians in the area, consistent with the size and nature of the facility; one of the hospitals operates a full-time emergency room open to all regardless of the ability to pay; the hospital provides care to needy members of its community consistent with its charity care policy regardless of their ability to pay for these services and admits as patients those able to pay for care, either themselves or through third-party payers such as private health insurance or government programs such as Medicare and Medicaid; and the hospital's excess funds are generally applied to expansion and replacement of existing facilities and equipment, amortization of indebtedness, improvement in patient care, community benefit activities, and charity care. Kennestone Hospital, Inc. consists of two hospitals, Wellstar Kennestone and Wellstar Windy Hill. These hospitals combined to invest approximately $101.4 million in capital expenditures for the fiscal period. Wellstar Kennestone Hospital is a general acute hospital which provides a full range of inpatient and outpatient services for the overall health of the community. The hospital is located in Marietta, Georgia. The original hospital was constructed in 1950. The present main building was constructed in 1975. Kennestone is licensed to operate 633 beds and is currently staffed to operate 588 beds. Wellstar Windy Hill Hospital is located in the unincorporated area of Cobb County in northwest metropolitan Atlanta. It is an acute care hospital concentrating at the present time on long term care inpatient and outpatient services. The original structure was built in 1973 and renovated in 1987. The beds at Windy Hill serve medically complex patients whose average stay is approximately 30 days. Kennestone Hospital, Inc. affiliated with Northwest Georgia Health System in 1993. In 1994 Northwest Georgia Health System helped form the Promina Health System and changed its name to Promina Northwest Health System. In 1998 Promina Northwest changed its name to Wellstar Health System. Wellstar became totally independent of Promina in 2000. Kennestone Hospital, Inc. was organized in 1993 and is subordinate to, and subject to the authority of, Wellstar Health System and its governing board. Kennestone offers most major inpatient clinical services, a variety of outpatient services, women's services and open heart surgery. It is one of the largest hospitals in the state of Georgia. Kennestone is also home to a variety of state-of-the-art procedures and equipment not offered elsewhere in the larger Atlanta metro service area. The hospital has also opened several satellite outpatient imaging centers to provide easier access to our patient population. One additional service offered on the campus of Kennestone is called Atherton Place. This residential facility provides independent housing as well as assisted living to residents needing these services--especially the elderly. Kennestone also now operates a residential hospice facility at Kennesaw Mountain near the Kennestone campus. Windy Hill has transitioned its focus to long-term inpatient and outpatient services. These services include a concentration in geriatrics, rehabilitation, orthopedics and senior care. An additional service offered at Windy Hill Hospital includes a women's imaging department.

Kennestone Hospital specifically offers the community the space and instructors for many support groups and educational opportunities--some free of charge and others at a nominal fee (examples of the offerings are women's health, palliative care, birthing classes, etc.) Kennestone and Windy Hill also offer free and/or low cost screenings for health issues such as blood pressure, cholesterol, flu shots, and others. System-wide for the reporting period over 200,000 area residents were seen at either the screenings or health fairs. School Health Program This program is operated in conjunction with area school systems and seeks to teach school-aged children about health and safety topics such as dental health, water safety, seat belt safety and others. Safe Kids-Cobb/Cherokee Wellstar and the Cobb Public Health Department sponsor safety education events on an annual basis to the community, specifically the Cobb County area. The safety initiatives are centered around car seat checks, bike helmets, water safety and other preventive initiatives. The mission is to reduce the number of accidental injuries for children ages 14 and under. The SafeKids Cobb program provided 1,500 car seat checks with a number of car seats distributed to families in need. The Partner-in-Education program provides health-related supplies and support to area elementary and middle schools. Through the "Partners in Ministry" program, the Pastoral Care Department leads a partnership between the health system and local area congregations to link between the spiritual and clinical community needs. Sponsorships and Community Activities As part of the October Breast Cancer Awareness Month WellStar and the WellStar Cancer Network has partnered with a local television station to sponsor "Buddy Check 11", an 11Alive program designed to encourage breast self-exam. The participants choose a buddy and subsequently remind their buddy to perform a monthly self-exam. The program is now in its third year. WellStar Health System was the only Atlanta health system honored with a "Celebrating Our Heritage" Award by Renovacion Conyugal, a nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening, supporting and empowering Latino youth. WellStar has a 10-year partnership with the organization to provide financial and facility support. Team members from the Acworth Health Park participated in the building of a Habitat for Humanity home in Acworth, Georgia. The home was built on property donated to Northwest Atlanta Habitat by a retired Army Lt Col Ashley Ivey before his passing.

As sole member, Wellstar Health System, Inc. holds certain powers of election and approval in connection with the governing body of the organization. These powers are presented in detail in the governing documents which the company makes available to the public upon request. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B BOARD REVIEW OF FORM 990 Internal staff prepareS the organization's Form 990. Before filing the return with the Internal Revenue Service an external accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, reviews and sign-offs on the completed return of each organization. The current year Form 990 is then reviewed by the Finance Committee along with a question and answer session. A motion is then made by the Finance committee to approve the returns and present to the full board copies of the forms in an electronic (pdf. format) version as well as a hard copy. The organization's CFO or designee subsequently signs the return for either manual or electronic filing by the appropriate due date. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY Our conflict of interest policy requires all covered persons to annually review the policy and then complete, sign and return the Conflicts of Interest Survey and Attestation to the Compliance Office. The Policy requires an on-going disclosure obligation in the event a conflict arises during the year. The following is our process to regularly and consistently monitor and enforce the policy: Compliance identifies all covered persons who must complete the Survey and Attestation. Compliance verifies that the Survey and Attestation is distributed to these persons. Compliance verifies that these persons return a fully completed and signed Survey and Attestation. Compliance reviews each completed and signed Survey and Attestation to identify all conflicts listed in the document. All conflicts, potential conflicts and incidences of non-compliance are referred to the Chief Compliance Officer. The CCO takes appropriate action to completely resolve all identified conflicts and incidences of non-compliance. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINES 15A & 15B COMPENSATION OF OFFICERS Wellstar engages the Hay Group to work with the governing board to review and recommend executive compensation. The executive compensation process at Wellstar is overseen by a committee of independent trustees, which follows a board-approved executive compensation philosophy. The compensation committee consists of five trustees as well as the CEO in an advisory role and not a voting member. Further in committee discussions about the compensation for the Chief Executive Officer, The CEO will recuse him/herself from that process and is a non-voting committee member for discussions on all other officers. The executive compensation philosophy empowers the committee to oversee the executive compensation process and administer the executive compensation program on behalf of the full board of trustee of Wellstar; provided, however, the full Board of Trustees evaluates and approves the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer. The philosophy requires annual disclosure of the committee's actions and decisions to the full board, which it has done. The committee is guided by the board-approved philosophy. Overall, the philosophy is intended to reward for organizational and individual performance. When performance is at a predetermined targeted level, the compensation is intended to be at or around the median of compensation paid to similar positions at similar organizations (the "market"). Wellstar's executive compensation philosophy defines the market as being comprised of comparable not-for-profit health care delivery systems, i.e., not-for-profit organizations similar in complexity and scale to Wellstar. To assist the committee in fulfilling its duties, the committee engaged the Hay Group to provide market compensation data to compare to the Wellstar positions whose compensation the committee oversees. The committee uses this data to provide context when making decisions in administering the compensation program. Accurate minutes of the committee's discussion and decisions are recorded during each committee meeting, and reviewed and approved by the full Board of Trustees at its next scheduled meeting. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19 DOCUMENTS MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC The organization and its subsidiaries are subject to the Open Records Law in the State of Georgia. Therefore, by law, citizens are permitted to inspect and copy its governing documents, policies and financial statements as may be requested from time to time. Additionally, the organization's Form 990 is made readily available on the Guidestar website. Periodically, the organization publishes its financial performance in the local newspaper for citizens to review, and it also publishes a community benefit report once a year for distribution to the public. FORM 990, PART VII OFFICERS HOURS WORKED The officers devote their time to all of the organizations within Wellstar Health System that are listed in Schedule R, Part II. As such, the total hours worked by the officers across all organizations exceeds 40 hours a week. FORM 990, PART VII & FORM 990, SCHEDULE J COMPENSATION All compensation amounts reported on Form 990 Part V, Part VII, and Part IX as well as Schedule J represent compensation provided to individuals that provide services to the organization. Likewise, the number of employees reported on Form 990 represent the number of individuals providing services to the organization. All Federal employment tax responsibilities for these individuals (including Federal Employment Tax reporting responsibilities) are handled by Wellstar Health System, Inc. (EIN 58-1649541).
