Desc	Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago ("Lurie Children's") in Chicago, Illinois owns and operates the only full-service, independent, freestanding pediatric hospital in Illinois. This not-for-profit, tertiary care hospital, founded in 1882, provides patient care 24 hours-per-day, 7 days-per-week. Lurie Children's has 288 licensed beds and provides a full range of inpatient and outpatient care and related ancillary services. Lurie Children's provides more care than any other hospital provider in Illinois in nearly every pediatric medical and surgical specialty. As a major academic tertiary care medical center, Lurie Children's has served patients from 50 states, and 57 countries. Lurie Children's is a designated Level I pediatric trauma center for the City of Chicago, with a Level III neonatal nursery that serves as a regional referral center in the State of Illinois Perinatal Network. Lurie Children's ability to treat the most critically ill infants in its neonatal intensive care unit ("NICU") is demonstrated by statistics for fiscal year 2015 which show that 53% of all transports into its NICU were from other Level III nurseries in metropolitan Chicago. In 2015, Lurie Children's has been ranked as the 11th best children's hospital in the country by U.S. News & World Report. In addition, Lurie Children's is the only pediatric hospital in Illinois to be ranked by U.S. News & World Report in all 10 pediatric specialties. Lurie Children's is the home to the world's first pediatric center for autonomic medicine and was the first pediatric hospital in Illinois to perform the Berlin Heart procedure, a breakthrough technology that helps children awaiting heart transplants. In FY 2015, Lurie Children's, through more than 650,000 patient visits, served more than 178,000 children who came from all over the State of Illinois and beyond to access the more than 70 specialties offered by Lurie Children's. During this period there were 535,972 outpatient visits including 353,473 visits in Lincoln Park (including 5,935 observation cases), 57,902 emergency room visits and 119,326 outpatient visits at the satellite facilities. Lurie Children's is the largest provider of Medicaid services to Illinois children. In total, during the State of Illinois' fiscal year 2014, Lurie Children's provided approximately 65% more outpatient and inpatient Medicaid services than the next highest Illinois hospital. Lurie Children's pediatric-specialist physicians provide more specialty care to children insured by the State of Illinois' All Kids (Medicaid) program than any other specialty care provider. Lurie Children's maintains a charity care policy under which it provides healthcare services free of charge or at a greatly reduced rate to children whose families are unable to pay for the charges associated with their medical care. For FY 2015, the total unreimbursed care and community benefit (as reported in the FY 2015 audit of Lurie Children's and its affiliates) provided by Lurie Children's and its affiliates was approximately $127 million, including $85.1 million in costs associated with unreimbursed services and charity care provided by Lurie Children's and its affiliated physician groups and $44.2 million for other community benefit including, but not limited to, resident and fellow expenses of $16.7 million, research funding of $7.4 million, operation of a community clinic support of $3.2 million, child advocacy programs of $2.0 million and the provision of language assistance, pastoral care, social work, art and music therapies, hospital volunteer services, transplant family housing and other family support services of $9.1 million. Lurie Children's undertakes a broad range of services and activities in addition to patient care that support its charitable mission. Lurie Children's functions as a teaching and research institution whose efforts have contributed considerably to improvements in the quality of life and healthcare for children. Lurie Children's supports community medical needs through a variety of outreach programs and educational programs. In December 2001, Lurie Children's became the first pediatric hospital in the nation and the first hospital in Illinois to receive the Magnet Award from the American Nurses Credentialing Center. Lurie Children's was awarded this designation again in 2005, 2010, and 2015. Today, while the status is the most sought-after nation-wide honor in hospital nursing, less than 1% of hospitals have achieved the accomplishment of maintaining the designation four times. Lurie Children's is one of the major pediatric teaching hospitals in the U.S., serving as the pediatric teaching facility and the primary pediatric practice site of Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine ("NUFSM") for resident physicians, fellows and medical students in pediatric specialties and sub-specialties. This program is consistently one of the most sought after in the country. In academic year 2014-2015, over 1,405 individuals applied for the 33 available positions. Lurie Children's has 236 pediatric residents and fellows in various pediatric training programs from NUFSM for which Lurie Children's serves as the primary site. Lurie Children's also offers clinical experiences in pediatrics to medical students, nursing students, and students in other allied health fields. Lurie Children's is affiliated with 21 nursing education programs. In academic year 2014-2015, there were 1,563 student placements, including 310 third and fourth year medical students, 910 nursing students, and 351 allied health students. Lurie Children's completed construction of a new, 288-licensed bed, acute care, pediatric hospital named "Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago" to replace its old hospital facilities. This new facility which opened June 9, 2012, is in close proximity to NUFSM and will facilitate Lurie Children's ability to continue to build upon its academic and research ties in a family-centered environment and state-of-the-art pediatric care facility that will foster the provision of compassionate care. Lurie Children's role as a regional referral center for a variety of pediatric diseases and illnesses has created many research opportunities to study and treat them and Lurie Children's research arm, Stanley Manne Children's Research Institute, ("Research Institute") is one of the nation's few centers dedicated solely to pediatric research. See the tax information return of Lurie Children's affiliate, Research Institute (36-3357005). Alone, or in collaboration with other community partners, Lurie Children's provides programs and promotes public policy to support the health and well-being of children beyond the walls of the hospital, particularly in under resourced communities. Hospital physicians and staff provide expertise at local, city, state and national levels. Lurie Children's engages in strategic organizational partnerships, such as school-based collaborations to promote health, safety and socialization for all students including support for learning accommodations for students with special health care needs, social-emotional learning, concussion management, sports injury prevention and obesity reduction. Through its work with students directly and in providing staff training (including system-wide training) and development with Chicago Public Schools (CPS), suburban and private schools over the past 20 years, Lurie Children's has reached more than 40,000 students. Collaborations with the Chicago Park District (CPD) have included playground safety inspections and system-wide coach training in concussion management that provides a safety net for all participants in park athletic programs and playground activities. Another area of emphasis has been on "transitioning" youth/young adults into adulthood and supporting their independence. In collaboration with JVS (formerly Jewish Vocational Services) and the hospital's Office of Child Advocacy and Department of Human Resources, a paid internship program for youth with chronic medical conditions has been established to provide them with job exposure and experience. Other areas of emphasis include HIV prevention among young African American women on the south side of Chicago in collaboration with black churches and community agencies. Lurie Children's provided leadership and expertise in the recently released "Health Chicago 2.0-Partnering to Improve Health Equity 2016-2020" blueprint and implementation plan. Through its newly launched Center for Childhood Resilience, Lurie Children's plays a leadership role in the IL Childhood Trauma Coalition and co-chairs a subcommittee on Refugee and Immigrant Children and Trauma. In addition, Lurie Children's brings its expertise in research and population health to inform program and policy directions at city and state levels, including its leadership in the IL Violent Death Reporting System and analysis of the burden of opioid	Desc

Form And Line Reference	2014 FORM 990, SCHEDULE C	FormAndLineReferenceDesc
Explanation	SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION To further their collective mission, Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago ("Lurie Children's") and its affiliates, by virtue of their role in providing complex care and care for children, partner with and frequently interact with members of the government in developing policies applicable to children's health and well-being. In 1994, Lurie Children's established a Public Policy Committee of the Board of Directors to recommend institutional positions on legislation and regulation that would enable Lurie Children's and its affiliates to enhance the health and well-being of children. Over the years, the Public Policy Committee has recommended positions on public policy matters affecting children's health and well-being and to garner government funding to support the exempt activities of Lurie Children's and its affiliates and for the development and construction of a new hospital which replaced the old facility of Lurie Children's. This new facility facilitates Lurie Children's ability to continue to build upon its academic and research ties in a family-centered environment and state-of-the-art facility that will foster the provision of compassionate care. Examples of policy initiatives for which Lurie Children's has advocated include: preventing transmission of HIV from mothers to newborns; prevention of childhood injury (unintentional and violent); prevention of child abuse; prevention of childhood obesity; and improving access to health insurance for children. Read more about our current institutional public positions at https://www.luriechildrens.org/en-us/community/government-relations/policy -prorities-positions/Pages/index.aspx. In addition, when state and federal legislators or committees need experts to analyze and testify as to how a pending bill would affect children's health in Illinois, they often look to Lurie Children's and its affiliates. In recent years, employees, officers and physicians of Lurie Children's and its affiliates have testified before elected officials and government policymakers in Washington, DC, Springfield and Chicago on issues ranging from the benefits of child passenger safety and helmet laws to the prevention of concussions in youth, funding for graduate medical education and Medicaid reform. In addition, Lurie Children's engages in lobbying activities to seek appropriate Medicaid funding of the substantial services provided by Lurie Children's and its affiliates to Medicaid-eligible patients in Illinois. Lurie Children's also seeks funding, on a state and federal level, for various initiatives that will enhance patient care. On the federal level, Lurie Children's, in connection with other children's teaching hospitals, works to protect and enhance funding for the Medicaid program and graduate medical education for 54 freestanding children's teaching hospitals in the United States and advocates for national networks of care for Medicaid children with medical complexity.

Form And Line Reference	Form 990, Schedule D, Part V, Line 4	FormAndLineReferenceDesc
Explanation	Intended use of endowment funds Lurie Children's endowment fund consists of individual donor-restricted endowment funds and funds designated by its Board to function as endowments. The net assets associated with endowment funds, including those funds designated by the Board to function as endowments, are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. Effective June 30, 2009, Illinois passed Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act ("UPMIFA"). Lurie Children's has, after obtaining advice of outside counsel, interpreted UPMIFA as sustaining the preservation of the original gift as of the gift date of the donor-restricted endowment funds absent explicit donor stipulations to the contrary. As a result of this interpretation, Lurie Children's classifies as permanently restricted net assets, (a) the original value of gifts donated to the permanent endowment, (b) the original value of subsequent gifts to the permanent endowment, and (c) accumulations to the permanent endowment made in accordance with the direction of the applicable donor gift instrument at the time the accumulation is added to the fund. The remaining portion of the donor-restricted endowment fund that is not classified in permanently restricted net assets is classified as temporarily restricted net assets until those amounts are appropriated for expenditure by Lurie Children's in a manner consistent with the donor intent and standard of prudence prescribed by UPMIFA. Where the Board designates unrestricted funds to function as endowments they are classified as unrestricted net assets.	ExplanationTxt

Explanation	N/A PART V, SECTION B, LINE 3J N/A PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5 Each year, Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago ("Lurie Children's") makes significant investments in a community health needs assessment ("CHNA") and evaluation. The current CHNA works to build stronger connections to Lurie Children's organizational planning processes, evaluate community health needs, and report on current community health needs and efforts. The goals of the CHNA are to: 1. Identify areas of high need to prevent death and hospitalization for children and adolescents in Chicago and served by Lurie Children's; 2. Set priorities and goals using evidence as a guide for decision-making; and 3. Implement programs, policies, and advocacy efforts in order to better serve Lurie Children's patients and improve the health and well-being of the community. In preparing to conduct the CHNA, Lurie Children's brought together a team of internal leaders to make recommendations on how the needs assessment process should proceed. These recommendations were approved by the Lurie Children's Board of Directors in 2012. In addition to developing a plan to conduct the CHNA itself, the recommendations also included refining internal processes at Lurie Children's to assure that the CHNA, and the programs guided by it, are well-integrated into Lurie Children's efforts to meet its mission. These recommendations are as follows: (1) Build stronger connections between Lurie Children's community-focused efforts and our internal organizational planning process; (2) Systematize and coordinate the many disparate community health needs assessment activities and programs that clinicians and researchers at Lurie Children's undertake; and (3) Establish a more predictable mechanism for reporting community-focused activities to the Lurie Children's Board of Directors. The Community Health Needs Assessment Committee ("CHNA Committee"), which includes representatives of public health agencies and organizations that serve communities in Chicago, conducted meetings, reviewed data and provided input based upon each individual's expertise, knowledge and experiences, concerning the scope and severity, urgency, of community needs and the feasibility and effectiveness of possible interventions. The CHNA Committee input was prioritized based on Lurie Children's four priorities that drive all of its efforts in the Hospital and community. The four priorities include: 1) Pediatric health care delivery; 2) Research into prevention, causes and treatment of diseases that affect children; 3) Education for physicians, nurses and allied health professionals and 4) Advocacy for the general well being of all children. Members of the CHNA Committee included: * Jaime Dircksen, Deputy Commissioner Chicago Department of Public Health * Mary Driscoll RN, MPH, Division Chief, Patient Safety and Quality, Illinois Department of Public Health * Berneice Mills-Thomas, Executive Director, Near North Health Services Corporation * Lucy Gomez, Health Outreach Director, Logan Square Neighborhood Association * Omar Duque, President and CEO, Illinois Hispanic Chamber of Commerce * Pamela Spadino, Lurie Children's Family Advisory Board * Eric Schroeder, President, Lurie Children's Family Advisory Board * Tim Weaver, Student, Lurie Children's Youth Advisory Committee * AJ Williams, Student, Lurie Children's Youth Advisory Committee PART V, SECTION B, LINE 6A N/A PART V, SECTION B, LINE 6B N/A PART V, SECTION B, LINE 7D N/A PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11 The CHNA draws data from a wide range of sources, taking advantage of data collected by public health agencies wherever possible (each data source is described in detail below). The CHNA makes heavy use of the Illinois mortality data, the Illinois Hospital Discharge Data System (or CompData) and the Chicago Youth Risk Behavior Survey. In addition, the CHNA employs two data systems whose development has been spearheaded by, and are currently housed at, Lurie Children's: The Illinois Violent Death Reporting System and the Illinois Health Survey for Youth. With initial work beginning in 2005, these data systems are being developed to address the relative paucity of public health data in Illinois focusing on the health needs of Chicago and Illinois youth. In conducting this analysis, it was determined that 48% of the patients cared for at Lurie Children's are residents of the City of Chicago. Given this, and the fact that the City of Chicago is the home of Lurie Children's, it was decided to define the community for the purposes of the assessment as the City of Chicago. For issues related to medically complex children, the community is defined as the State of Illinois given that this population of children served at Lurie Children's travel from every corner of the State. In line with good public health practice, the CHNA analysis began with a review of the leading causes of death and hospitalization for Chicago and Illinois children and adolescents to assure that the full range of serious health risks was considered. Once major health risks were identified, a deeper analysis was conducted. The analysis identified eleven major health risks to children and adolescents in Chicago. The eleven major health risks became the focus of the eleven "Prioritized Needs Assessments." Other data sources were used to identify opportunities for preventability and/or a more targeted identification of the populations at highest risk (for example, certain age groups, certain racial or ethnic groups and children living in certain neighborhoods) for each of these eleven areas. The CHNA Committee reviewed the data and provided input based upon each individual's expertise, knowledge and experiences, concerning the scope and severity, urgency and feasibility and effectiveness of possible interventions. The CHNA Committee also reviewed available resources to provide pediatric health care resources in the community generally and to address the eleven areas of health risk for children. Lurie Children's engages in policy and program initiatives that reduce unintentional injuries to children through community-based interventions, public policy, educational, advisory and public health initiatives. 1. Motor Vehicle Injuries Lurie Children's implemented initiatives such as Safe on the Road and Buckle Up for Life to provide products and education to children and their families relating to traveling (pedestrian, car and bike) and motor vehicle safety. Lurie Children's has provided free and reduced price car seats to parents for twenty years, and continues to do so. Parents are also provided free instruction on how to safely install and use car seats. Lurie Children's provides car seats for children with special health care needs. Each year approximately 800 car seats are distributed and 500 car seats are checked for safety. In addition, the Injury Prevention and Research Center has trained staff members at fourteen hospitals and community agencies throughout the Chicago area as Child Passenger Safety Technicians ("CPSTs"). After completing training, these CPSTs provide assistance on the proper installation and usage of car seats to the clients at their agencies. Lurie Children's has been and continues to be a vocal advocate for motor vehicle safety and has helped pass legislation to expand car seat use to children through age 8, seat belt use for all passengers, expanded use of bicycle helmets and graduated licensure for adolescent drivers. As a result of these types of efforts, hospitalizations and deaths due to motor vehicle injuries have dropped by approximately 20% since 2000. Since 2008, the Lurie Children's Injury Prevention and Research Center has distributed over 5,000 free bicycle helmets at over 90 bike and pedestrian safety events. In the past year, Lurie Children's has been instrumental in supporting the installation and evaluation of speed cameras in Chicago schools zones to prevent bicycle and pedestrian injury. To address cultural differences in the use of safety equipment, the Injury Prevention and Research Center has engaged ten churches with largely African American or Latino congregations in 2012 and, since then, has distributed an additional 800 car seats through these church programs. 2. Sports & Outdoor Activities Lurie Children's has a number of sports and outdoor activity programs, including: Safe on the Road - Provides products and education to children and their families to keep the children safe while traveling (pedestrian, car, bike) Safe at Play - Increases playground surveillance, advocates for safe play areas and creates new playgrounds Knee Injury Prevention - Coach training on neuromuscular exercises to prevent knee injuries in high school female athletes Concussion Education for Contact Sports Athletes, Parents and Coaches - Formulates and implements sport concussion educational programs for coaches and families The Lurie Children's Institute for Sports Medicine offers the K	ExplanationTxt

Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDesc	ExplanationExplanationTxt
PART I, LINE 3C	To be eligible for Financial Assistance, the patient must be an Illinois resident. PART I, LINE 6A Lurie Children's prepares an annual community benefit report. The report can be found at: http://www.luriechildrens.org/AnnualReport/. The calculation for "charity care and certain other community benefits at cost" reflects the Form 990 definitions and will not necessarily correspond to calculations prepared for similar state of Illinois reporting requirements and our audited financial statement reporting, each of which may require the use of specified methodologies that may differ from Form 990. PART I, LINE 7G Subsidized health services reported in Section I, Line 7g include details from two different community benefit programs of Lurie Children's, namely the Uptown Primary Care and Dentistry Clinics. The operating costs attributable to the Primary Care and Dentistry clinics are $3,173,860. Both programs are operated despite financial losses to the organization. The clinics provide healthcare to a largely underserved community. Lurie Children's supports the following affiliates by subsidizing losses to allow these organizations to provide charity care services to medicaid patients and engage in other charitable activities: Pediatrics Faculty Foundation, Inc. $17,998,348 Lurie Children's Medical Group, LLC $ 1,495,875 Lurie Children's Health Partners Care Coordination $ 2,167,050 Almost Home Kids $ 1,259,561 PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN (F) Total expense from Form 990, Part IX, Line 25, column (A) was $711,589,764. The bad debt expense included in this amount was $7,519,588. Therefore, a total expense of $704,070,176 was used for purposes of calculating Form 990 Schedule H line 7, column (f). PART I, LINE 7 Cost to charge ratio is calculated using the total expense reflected in our FY 2015 audited financial statements reduced by community benefits reflected on Schedule H, bad debt, provider tax and non-patient related activity expenses found in the Lurie Children's cost report divided by gross patient charges. Part II N/A PART III, SECTION A, LINE 2 This is the cost to charge ratio multiplied by the financial statement expense. This is the best estimate of the actual cost to provide these services. PART III, SECTION A, LINE 3 The Provision for Financial Assistance Policy allows for accounts in bad debt to be approved for Financial Assistance if the patient meets the criteria. There are possible financial assistance accounts in bad debt, although the exact percentage is unknown. Part III, line 4 Please note, similar to FY 2014, we do not have an AFS footnote for the bad debt calculation for FY 2015. The footnotes to Lurie Children's audited financial statements do not specifically address bad debt expense. Lurie Children's defines self-pay as bad debt when a family is not eligible for financial assistance and does not pay an outstanding account balance. Even when a patient is not eligible for financial assistance, or eligibility is unknown, Lurie Children's is sensitive to the financial health of our patients and their families and recognizes that family financial concerns may not always be shared. At times, a patient may be reluctant to complete a financial assessment to determine their eligibility for charity care. As a result, it is possible that a portion of bad debt expense could represent patients who are unable to pay and might qualify for financial assistance; however, accurate data to estimate this amount is unavailable. Lurie Children's is committed to managing collection efforts in a sensitive and respectful manner. In this regard, Lurie Children's sends a minimum of four letters/statements to the families before taking further action. For high balance accounts, the Hospital will attempt to contact the patient/family by telephone. Should the Hospital receive no reply, the self-pay balances are sent to a collection agency for further action. With few exceptions, Lurie Children's does not credit list its patients or take court action in its attempts to collect the outstanding balances. The allowance for uncollectible accounts at the amount of charges written off (net of contractuals and discounts) is presented as a separate line item on the face of the financial statements. Bad debt expense on Part III, Line 2 of Schedule H is calculated based on aging accounts receivable and applying historical bad debt percentages. PART III, SECTION B, LINE 8 The organization did not have a shortfall for FY 2015. The organization computes its Medicare allowable costs based on cost to charges. PART III, LINE 9B Collection policies are the same for all Lurie Children's patients. If at any point in the collection process documentation is received that indicates the patient is potentially eligible for financial assistance, but has not applied for it, the account is referred back for a financial assistance review. Through the use of pamphlets, signage and web site notice, patients and families are notified of Lurie Children's financial assistance policy. On receipt of the information, we will determine eligibility for financial assistance and notify the patient as quickly as possible. Lurie Children's does not pursue collection of amounts from patients who are being reviewed for financial assistance eligibility or who are determined to qualify for financial assistance. In addition, all patients having difficulty paying their bills are directed to financial counselors. Our financial counselors will work with our patients to help them to qualify for financial assistance or government payors such as Medicaid. After it is determined that a patient meets the qualifications for the financial assistance program, the account balance is either partially or entirely written off in accordance with our financial assistance policy. If there is any remaining balance, only that balance would be subject to our debt collection policy. If a patient has requested and/or filled out a financial assistance application, all debt collection activities stop until eligibility for financial assistance can be determined. Our policy provides that once we have received the necessary documentation we will not refer any accounts for collection until we can determine whether the patient is eligible for financial assistance.
Part VI, Line 2	Needs Assessment While Lurie Children's conducted its formal CHNA required under Section 501(r) of the Internal Revenue Code and has established a committee to review the health needs of the community and develop a CHNA report, Lurie Children's has also utilized other mechanisms to assess the health care needs of the larger and diverse community it serves in a variety of ways. Community needs are identified by the Lurie Children's board of directors, as well as several advisory boards which are comprised of individuals from the community served, who are active members of the community and attuned to community needs. For example, Lurie Children's has a very active Family Advisory Board which the Hospital relies upon to assist in making decisions about programming and policies. Family Advisory Board members, comprised of parents of children who have had extensive inpatient and outpatient experiences at the Hospital, advise administration and medical leadership on patient needs and Hospital priorities from the family perspective. Family Advisory Board Members contribute through participation in planning, operating and policy committees of Lurie Children's. Similarly, the Kids' Advisory Board is intended to give a voice to children who have been treated at the Hospital. The Kids' Advisory Board makes recommendations on issues related to patient care from the perspective of a child, teenager and sibling of a patient. The Hospital has also established a Community Advisory Board for patients/caregivers of HIV-infected children, HIV-infected health care workers and other interested people in the community. This advisory board seeks input and feedback regarding clinic operations and patient needs to improve services and research for all HIV-affected patients at Lurie Children's. The Community Advisory Board meets to discuss improvements for the program's services; help in implementing new pediatric, adolescent and perinatal research; review HIV education materials used in the community and to assess the effectiveness of the Lurie Children's HIV/AIDS program. The Hospital also has established an adolescent community advisory board established to address similar issues, specific to teens with HIV/AIDS. Moreover, Lurie Children's has strong relationships with other not-for-profit organizations (such as health clinics and social service agencies) and community leaders who help identify existing community needs and ways to address such needs. Lurie Children's is also a leader in pediatric research aimed at advancements in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases that affect the development of children through adolescence as well as adult disorders that derive from them. Stanley Manne Children's Research Institute ("Stanley Manne Research Institute") is one of a few institutions in the U.S. dedicated exclusively to pediatric research. This research aids in the identification of unmet needs faced by the community and, in particular, the children Lurie Children's is privileged to serve. Lurie Children's assesses pediatric health needs in the community through its Child Health Data Lab, which provides current and accurate data on the health of children and adolescents throughout Illinois in a readily understandable format. By analyzing health status in particular areas over periods of time, the data lab assists policy-makers and public health planners to identify the health promotion and disease and injury prevention needs in local communities in Illinois. The data lab publishes reports including detailed analyses of child and adolescent injury, death and hospitalization in Illinois by county, and child injury and well-being by Chicago community area. The data lab provides statistical analysis and proposes solutions to address the leading causes of injury for different age groups. The data lab also houses the Illinois health survey which is the first broad-based survey of Illinois youth and adults, designed to provide county-level estimates of a broad range of health conditions for Illinois youth and adults and is intended to guide health policy in Illinois. Based upon all these varied assessments, Lurie Children's, in concert with others in the community, strives to address identified needs which it is positioned to assist with, particularly those related to the health and well-being of children, through education, research and patient care programs, in keeping with its charitable mission as a tax-exempt entity. For specific examples of community building activities of Lurie Children's, please see response to Part VI, Line 5 below. PART VI, LINE 3 Patient education of eligibility for assistance Lurie Children's financial assistance policy is communicated to the public and patients frequently and in many ways. New patients receive a written notice informing them about Lurie Children's financial assistance policy and are requested to sign a statement at least annually confirming that they have received this policy. Signs are posted at all areas of registration, lobbies of our facilities, reception, clinical areas, waiting rooms and the emergency department directing patients who have need of financial assistance to contact our financial counselors. Pamphlets, distributed through the Hospital and other facilities, titled "Billing/Financial Assistance and Understanding Your Bill" provide information about the bills that the patients can be expected to have received and direct patients who may need financial assistance to contact our financial counselors. In addition, a link is shown on our website entitled "Financial Assistance." Clicking on this link will take someone to the hospital's application form and instructions. Availability of financial assistance is also noted on the front and back of the first page of the patient billing statement. Lurie Children's has financial counselors who are trained to assist and advise patients as to the availability of a variety of social services and resources, including state Medicaid, Allkids (another State insurance program available to children from families whose income exceeds the thresholds for Medicaid eligibility) and the Hospital's charitable assistance program. The Hospital's staff actively assists inpatients and outpatient surgery patients who are eligible for Medicaid in applying for and obtaining these benefits. In the ambulatory clinic setting applications for AllKids are provided to patients. Where individuals are not eligible for such programs and there is need for financial assistance, Lurie Children's financial counselors assist patients and families in applying for charitable assistance available from the Hospital. A patient may qualify for financial assistance at any time, including after applicable insurance limits may have been exhausted. PART VI, LINE 4 Community information Lurie Children's is unique in the community and the State of Illinois as it is the only freestanding pediatric hospital in the State and its tertiary services includes a Level I trauma center and Level III neonatal nursery which serves as a regional referral center for the State of Illinois' Perinatal Network. In addition, for more than 60 years, Lurie Children's has served as the pediatric training site for Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine, training residents, medical students and fellows who will comprise the next generation of health care providers. While Lurie Children's serves patients from all over the State of Illinois and 50 other states and 48 countries, the primary community served by Lurie Children's is children from the Chicago metropolitan area, with the primary service area defined as being the City of Chicago and Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry and Will Counties in Illinois. Approximately 48% of inpatients to the Hospital live within 10 miles of the Hospital and more than 51% of outpatients reside within 10 miles. 53.7% of the patients treated at the Hospital in fiscal year 2015 were Medicaid recipients. Lurie Children's is the largest provider of Medicaid pediatric services in the State of Illinois, serving 65% more inpatients and outpatients than the next leading provider. According to the most recent U.S. Census Bureau data, 20.1% of families with related children under age 18 are below the U.S. poverty level. Patient demographics are diverse and include a large number of families whose primary language is not English, demonstrated by the fact that Lurie Children's spent over $1.3 million in translation services in FY15.
PART VI, LINE 5	Promotion of Community Health Lurie Children's spends a substantial amount each year to build and promote the general health of the community it serves. Lurie Children's engages in a broad spectrum of activities in furtherance of its mission to provide health care, research, teaching and advocacy for the promotion of children's well-being. Lurie Children's is a leader in providing necessary health care services as well as education and advocacy about important issues affecting children. Lurie Children's is a leader in pediatric research, including clinical research aimed at promoting the health and well-being of children in the community. Lurie Children's partners with many community programs intended to provide access to health-related services, health education, injury prevention and advocacy for important initiatives to improve children's health. Lurie Children's also spends significant resources toward graduate medical education, providing specialized training in pediatric specialty medicine, including specialty areas where there are severe shortages of clinicians and few graduates each year. Following are examples of some of the community-building initiatives in which Lurie Children's participates: Lurie Children's operates a primary care clinic in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood, providing needed primary care services, including check-ups, back-to-school and sports physicals, immunizations, vision and hearing screening and sick-child care by pediatric staff residents, supervised by attending physicians. Lurie Children's also has established collaborations with community resources and agencies, including Chicago Public Schools for various programs to support HIV-affected children attending school, assisting children with cochlear implants in re-entering school and supporting children with epilepsy who attend Chicago Public Schools and suburban schools. In addition, Lurie Children's collaborates with the Division of Specialized Care for Children as a means to meet identified needs in the patients it serves. Lurie Children's is a leading member of The Consortium to Lower Obesity in Chicago Children ("CLOCC") which brings together hundreds of organizations to confront childhood obesity in Chicago, by facilitating connections between researchers, public health advocates and practitioners, corporations, policymakers, children, families and communities. The Injury Prevention and Research Center ("IPRC") at Lurie Children's strives to educate the public about injury prevention, improve public policy and foster protective environments for children, while coordinating all injury prevention initiatives at Lurie Children's. Lurie Children's also strives to serve children who have special health care needs and approximately 18.5 percent of children under 18 have such needs. Such children and their families often encounter uncoordinated care and other significant barriers while seeking multiple health resources. Lurie Children's provides education on car seat safety and provides car seats to patients who do not have the means to purchase a car seat for their child. Lurie Children's also educates and advocates for prevention of childhood injuries, including injury prevention in children (particularly unintentional injuries such as prevention of falls, playground safety and button batteries), as well as has been a leader in issues related to early HIV testing for newborns. The Office of Child Advocacy at Lurie Children's emphasizes prevention and health promotion and addressing the leading causes of hospitalization and death among children, which stem from behavioral, environmental and social factors. Lurie Children's is also a leader in advocating for the prevention of violence against children and, for the past several years, has led the effort to create the Illinois Violent Death Reporting system, to create a state-wide database correlating information on violent deaths, in an effort to determine emerging patterns and develop more effective violence prevention policies and programs. The Hospital devotes significant resources to family support services which include social work, pastoral care, parent education and other family amenities to address emotional, social and spiritual needs of hospitalized children and their families. Other Information: The Lurie Children's mission is to provide pediatric health care, research, teaching and advocacy for issues related to children. Lurie Children's governing board and various advisory boards (Family Advisory Board, Kids' Advisory Board and Community Advisory Boards) are comprised of volunteers from the community who have knowledge of the community and a broad range of expertise. The Hospital provides more pediatric patient care than any other hospital in Illinois in nearly every pediatric and surgical specialty. Lurie Children's operates a 24-hour, 7 day-per-week pediatric emergency room, including a Level I trauma center and Level III neonatal nursery that serves as a regional referral center for the State of Illinois' Perinatal Network. The Hospital is the largest provider of Medicaid services to Illinois children. The Hospital's pediatric physician specialists provide more services to children insured by the State of Illinois' insurance program than any other provider. The Hospital's ability to treat the most critically ill infants is demonstrated by the fact that in fiscal year 2015, 53% of all transports into its neonatal intensive care unit were from other Level III nurseries in the Chicago metropolitan area. In fiscal year 2015, Lurie Children's served more than 178,000 patients from the State of Illinois and elsewhere in more than 70 pediatric specialties offered by the Hospital. In keeping with its exempt purposes, surplus funds of the Hospital are utilized to improve the quality of patient care, expand or improve its facilities and advance medical training, education and research programs. In FY 2012, Lurie Children's completed constructing a new, modern hospital facility located on the campus of Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine ("NUFSM"), designed to continue to provide the highest quality medical care, better serve patients and families and enhance the ability to recruit high quality physician faculty to provide clinical services, conduct research and train residents and fellows. Among the key design features aimed at improving the care and privacy of our pediatric patients is private patient rooms. Further, the Kids' Advisory Board and Family Advisory Board were actively involved in making suggestions about the design of the new Hospital from the perspective of patients and families and the new Hospital reflects many of their insightful recommendations. Lurie Children's also increases access to its services by operating numerous outpatient specialty clinics in various locations throughout the Chicago metropolitan area, convenient for patients and families to access the scarce, pediatric specialty and sub-specialty services that would not otherwise be immediately available. Lurie Children's also provides physician coverage through neonatologists, pediatric intensivists, pediatric hospitalists and pediatric emergency medicine physicians at fourteen other hospitals located in Chicago as well as the suburban areas. Currently, Lurie Children's provides these services to Northwestern Memorial Hospital's Prentice Women's Hospital, Northwestern Central DuPage Hospital, Northwestern Delnor Hospital, Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital, Northwest Community Hospital, Vista Health, Presence Mercy, Silver Cross Hospital, Swedish Covenant Hospital, Norwegian American Hospital, West Suburban Medical Center, Westlake Medical Center, Adventist Hinsdale Hospital and La Rabida Children's Hospital, a specialty children's hospital in Chicago serving children with chronic medical conditions. Again, these specialized services would not otherwise be readily available. Lurie Children's is involved with numerous partnerships with community organizations and leaders to promote the health and well-being of the children it serves. Lurie Children's also serves as a major academic tertiary care medical center and serves as the primary pediatric practice site for NUFSM and provides the clinical training for NUFSM's resident physicians, fellows and medical students in pediatric specialties and sub-specialties. Each year, the Lurie Children's Department of Pediatrics trains approximately 200 physicians. Almost half are pediatric residents and the remainder are fellows in various pediatric sub-specialties including cardiology, hematology/oncology and neonatology. In addition, the Lurie Children's Department of Surgery provides formal resident education to NUFSM in each of its ten divisions and trains rotating residents from various other medical schools. Among the training opportunities for residents, supervised by attending physicians, is to provide primary care at the Uptown Clinic in Chicago, wh
Part VI, Line 6	Affiliated Healthcare System Lurie Children's employs, through affiliated faculty practice plans entities, pediatric specialists and sub-specialists who provide patient care at locations in Chicago and the surrounding communities. In accordance with the mission of Lurie Children's, these physician groups provide more services to Medicaid patients than any other physician providers in Illinois. In connection with their extensive treatment of Medicaid patients, in fiscal year 2015, these physician affiliates were paid $32.3 million less than the actual costs of providing the services. In addition, Lurie Children's, through its affiliate, Stanley Manne Children's Research Institute, performs research aimed at advancements in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases that affect the development of children through adolescence as well as adult disorders that derive from them. Stanley Manne Children's Research Institute, one of a few institutions in the U.S. dedicated exclusively to pediatric research, operates, in part, in a five-story, 125,000 square foot state-of-the-art laboratory and research administration facility as well as in the hospital and the campus of Northwestern University. Stanley Manne Children's Research Institute research encompasses basic research studies as well as those with potential clinical applications. In fiscal year 2015, there were more than 200 physician-scientists engaged in research. In addition, there were over 400 funded research projects which received over $31 million in annual funding from external sponsors such as the National Institutes of Health. See the tax information return of Stanley Manne Children's Research Institute, EIN #36-3357005 for additional information. The Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago Foundation ("Lurie Children's Foundation"), another affiliate of Lurie Children's, is responsible for fundraising for the hospital and its affiliated tax-exempt organizations. These philanthropic dollars support the programs in furtherance of the hospital's mission and benefiting the community served. See the tax information return of Lurie Children's Foundation, EIN 36-3357006 for additional information. In addition, in connection with its relationship with NUFSM, Lurie Children's is a member institution of The McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University ("McGaw"). McGaw is an Illinois not-for-profit corporation, exempt from federal income taxation pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. McGaw is a charitable and educational consortium of four independent hospitals and NUFSM. The goal of McGaw is to facilitate education and coordinate NUFSM medical residency and fellowship programs among the member institutions: Lurie Children's, Northwestern Memorial Hospital, NUFSM and the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. For academic year 2014-2015, McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University managed the training of approximately 794 resident-level trainees and 338 trainees at the fellow level.

Form And Line Reference	Form 990, Schedule J, Part I, Question 1a	FormAndLineReferenceDesc
Explanation	The organization provides membership in a club and/or a professional organization used by the following individuals for business purposes. Such membership is treated by the organization as a working-condition fringe benefit and is, therefore, excluded from the individual's taxable income. Jessica Strausbaugh Joni M. Duncan Michael D. Kelleher, MD Michelle M. Stephenson Monica Heenan Nancy M. Borders Patrick M. Magoon Ron Blaustein Stanley B. Krok Form 990, Schedule J, Part I, Line 3 Pursuant to the bylaws of Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center ("Medical Center"), the Governance Committee of the Medical Center is charged to review and approve senior executive compensation for the Medical Center and its affiliates. The Governance Committee has adopted a written executive compensation philosophy which it follows when it reviews and approves the compensation and benefits of the organization's senior management, including the President/Chief Executive Officer and the other senior managers. The compensation philosophy is subject to periodic review for continued appropriateness by the Governance Committee. With the assistance of a compensation consultant and information from a variety of sources (specified on Schedule J), the Governance Committee confirmed the total amounts to be paid were reasonable and comparable to amounts paid by similarly situated organizations. Outside legal counsel also serves an integral role in advising the Governance Committee with respect to federal tax requirements in setting compensation and the establishment of the "rebuttable presumption of reasonableness" under the federal tax law intermediate sanctions rules. The process followed by the Governance Committee, including a description of the data relied upon and the Governance Committee's decisions, was thoroughly and contemporaneously documented. The Governance Committee has expressly reviewed the reasonableness of all such payments, and has concluded, as the result of a process that is designed to qualify for the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness, that all such amounts are reasonable and do not exceed fair market value for the services provided. The Governance Committee was comprised of members of the Medical Center and the Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago Boards of Directors who were determined to be disinterested for these purposes. The Governance Committee conducts an ongoing, regular review of the disinterested status of its members, and will take appropriate action with respect to anyone having an interest with respect to one or more executives so as to preserve the application of the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness. Form 990, Schedule J, Part I, Question 4b Benefits earned under the Supplemental Executive Plan ("SERP") are non-vested forms of deferred compensation that fund the employee's eventual retirement benefit. These benefits are provided in exchange for all of the employee's years of service to the organization, and the cost of the benefits will vary from year to year based on interest rates, age, and many other factors. The amounts are at risk and will not be paid unless and until the employee has provided substantial future services to the organization. Benefits under the SERP vest at age 62, and are forfeited if the employee leaves the organization voluntarily before age 62 (except upon the sole discretion of the Board, and only if the participant has reached at least age 55 with at least 10 years of service). Participants who voluntarily leave the organization before age 55 forfeit their entire SERP benefit upon termination. The following individuals participated in the SERP and earned unvested benefits during 2014 which are reported in Column (C): Susan H. Gordon, Patrick M. Magoon, and Michelle M. Stephenson Also in response to question 4b, the following individuals received vested payments from the supplemental retirement benefits under the SERP, and therefore had SERP benefits included in their taxable income: Stan Krok, $208,774, Maureen Murphy $256,228, Paula M. Noble $1,388,851 and Donna S. Wetzler $185,816. In each case, the taxable amount represents the vested amount of benefits for service to the organization, and which became paid and taxable in 2014. The Governance Committee of the organization's Board of Directors annually reviews all forms of executive compensation and benefits, including all reported vested and nonvested SERP benefits, and has concluded, as the result of a process that it is designed to qualify for the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness, that total compensation and the benefits provided are reasonable. Form 990, Schedule J, Part I, Question 7 The organization provides annual incentive compensation to senior management under a senior management incentive compensation plan. These amounts are included in Schedule J, Part II, Column B (ii). The plan is designed to offer opportunities for additional compensation tied to performance against pre-determined financial, patient satisfaction, patient safety and individual goals approved in advance by the Governance Committee of the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago (Lurie Children's) and the Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center (Medical Center), which serves as the Compensation Committee of Lurie Children's and Medical Center. Due to the CEO's unique role in setting and driving the long-term strategic mission and operational performance of the entire organization, the Governance Committee of Lurie Children's and Medical Center previously established a long-term incentive plan ("LTI") under which the CEO, Patrick Magoon, was the sole participant. Mr. Magoon was eligible to earn additional compensation for achievement of very challenging, long-term goals that were established in advance by the Governance Committee. The LTI also served as a means for retention since amounts earned became vested on a rolling basis over a multi-year period. The LTI has been completed, and the final award was determined and previously reported on a Form 990 as having been earned but not yet vested and taxable. During the reporting year, Schedule J, Part II, Column (B)(ii) includes $59,423, which represents the portion of the final LTI incentive award that became vested and payable in 2014. The Governance Committee has expressly reviewed the reasonableness of all such payments, and has concluded, as the result of a process that is designed to qualify for the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness under federal tax law, that all such amounts are reasonable and do not exceed fair market value for the services provided. Form 990, Schedule J, Part II The following individuals are not compensated by the reporting organization for his or her service as a director. Rather, the compensation reported on Form 990, Part VII and on Schedule J, Part II reflects compensation paid by Pediatric Faculty Foundation for the individual's substantial and full-time services as an employee. For more details, please refer to the 2014 Form 990 of Pediatric Faculty Foundation, FEIN 36-3279680. Thomas P. Green Michael D. Kelleher, MD Mary J.C. Hendrix, PhD William Schnaper, MD is not compensated by the reporting organization for his service as a director. Rather, the compensation reported on Form 990, Part VII and on Schedule J, Part II reflects compensation paid by Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center for the individual's substantial and full-time services as an employee. For more details, please refer to the 2014 Form 990 of the Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, FEIN 36-3357004.	ExplanationTxt
