Desc	Via Christi Health, Inc., a Catholic health system, shares this mission: "Inspired by the Gospel and our Catholic tradition, we serve as a healing presence with special concern for our neighbors who are vulnerable." Via Christi Health's history extends back over 100 years and today, along with our sponsoring organization, Ascension Health, we continue to respond to community needs in Kansas and Northeastern Oklahoma. The obligation to reach out to those in need and improve community health flows directly from our identity as a faith-based healing ministry. As a mission-driven organization, we provide community benefit because we are committed to our core values of: 1) Service of the Poor - Generosity of spirit, especially for persons most in need; 2) Reverence - Respect and compassion for the dignity and diversity of life; 3) Integrity - Inspiring trust through personal leadership; 4) Wisdom - Integrating excellence and stewardship; 5) Creativity - Courageous innovation; and 6) Dedication - Affirming the hope and joy of our ministry. The primary location of Via Christi Health, Inc. is Wichita, Sedgwick County, Kansas. The 2014 estimated population was 508,803. Wichita is the largest city within Sedgwick County and the State of Kansas. The population is 81% white, 9.5% Black, 1.4% American Indian and 4.4% Asian. 3.6% of the population identified themselves as being biracial and 13.9% identified themselves as Hispanic or Latino. Nearly 14% of the population speak a foreign language, other than English, in their homes. 88.6% of adults 25 and older identified themselves as having a high school education and nearly 29% identified themselves as having Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Science degrees. Median household income is $49,865, which is less than the rest of the State at $51,332. The land area is nearly 1,000 square miles with approximately 500 persons per square mile when compared to 35 per square mile for all of Kansas. VCH works with the communities they serve in addressing their needs with their limited resources. Here are some of the ways in which VCH helps. Employees assist with: 1) Fundraising for other area not-for-profits through the annual One Community Campaign (in partnership with United Way), 2) Protecting the environment through a recycling program, 3) Saving lives through sponsoring blood drives in partnership with the American Red Cross, 4) Cash donations to organizations and programs that are health related, 5) In-kind donations of time for United Way Ambassadors, Jefferson Elementary, American Heart Association, Ronald McDonald House, community food drives, Children's Miracle Network and more. The financial information in this report was prepared in accordance with the Catholic Health Association's Community Benefit reporting guidelines. These guidelines recommend the following: 1) Report Charity Care at cost, not charges, 2) Do not include bad debt, contractual allowances and quick pay discounts as part of the Charity Care expense, 3) Do not count Medicare shortfall as a community benefit, and 4) Report the net expense for community benefit services (e.g. the total community benefit expense minus any associated revenue from patients, payers and other external sources.)

Form 990, Part VI, Line 2 Business/Family Relationships Amongst Interested Persons	MANY OF THE PERSONS LISTED ON PART VII HAVE A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP WITH EACH OTHER BY VIRTUE OF EMPLOYMENT BY VIA CHRISTI HEALTH, INC. RELATED ENTITIES.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15 COMPENSATION	Via Christi Health, Inc. (VCH) has established a common philosophy, strategy, and process for executive compensation to be used throughout the Health System. Through the oversight of the VCH Executive Compensation Committee, executive compensation is competitively positioned at its stated market position when compared to the compensation paid by relevant organizations (comparably- sized health systems, hospitals, and long-term care providers). VCH recognizes its responsibility to ensure that its executive compensation program is appropriate in view of its mission and tax- exempt status and that its compensation levels and expenditures are reasonable and not excessive. To ensure these ends, the VCH Executive Compensation Committee has established and approved the executive compensation philosophy for VCH and all related entities. It will also approve all changes in the compensation package for VCH executives in advance. On an annual basis, the committee conducts a comprehensive review of total compensation for all executives. It also reviews and approves "off- cycle" compensation transactions as needed. In their review, the Committee considers the following factors: - Market data from independent compensation surveys and sources that reflect comparable positions in organizations of similar size and scope; - Difficulties in recruiting and retaining executives; - Skills, experience and performance history of individual executives; - Critical business or strategic issues that the organization may face; and - Market position for total compensation. The adequacy, competitiveness, and cost of the VCH total executive compensation program are reviewed on an ongoing basis and changes are made as the Committee determines appropriate. The executive compensation program will be maintained such that it will fall within the safe harbor guidelines established by the intermediate sanctions regulations. The Committee also employs the services of an independent compensation consultant to prepare market analysis to aid and support the Committee's actions, provide documentation of market trends for budget setting purposes, review annual compensation changes to ensure "reasonableness" and provide attestation, and provide consultation on all executive compensation issues. The Committee also relies on third-party validation of performance measures used in the determination of compensation.
