SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTIONS 3J AND 5	The organization conducted a community health needs assessment ("CHNA") through the Community Health Improvement Partnership of Bergen County ("CHIP"). A steering committee made up of senior representatives from each hospital that participated in the CHNA and the BERGEN County Department of Health Services ("BCDHS") guided this project. An advisory committee, which included additional staff from the participating hospitals and BCDHS, as well as representatives from local health departments and a number of Bergen County's leading health and social service organizations, provided additional input. The combined expertise, knowledge, and commitment of the members of these committees were vital to this project. Marla Klein, Partnership Coordinator at BCDHS and Coordinator of the CHIP, managed the project and was the main liaison between the steering committee and John Snow, Inc. ("JSI"), the consulting company that was hired to assist with the assessment. Ms. Klein deserves special recognition for her tireless oversight and support of the CHNA process. During this project, dozens of individuals were interviewed by JSI including administrative and clinical staff from the hospitals, representatives from health and social service agencies, public health officers, other public and elected officials, representatives from advocacy organizations and foundations, and community residents. JSI also conducted a random household mail survey with more than 1,700 residents from Bergen County. A pool of research assistants augmented these findings by collecting nearly 400 additional surveys from low-income, racial/ethnic minority residents of the County at community-based health and social service organizations, open-air markets, faith-based organizations, and other community venues. Finally, information was gathered by the JSI project team from community residents, service providers, and other community health stakeholders through a series of focus groups and listening sessions. These information gathering efforts allowed the steering and advisory committees to gain a better understanding of the health status, healthcare needs, service gaps, and barriers to care of those living in Bergen County. The assessment and planning process was conducted in three phases, which allowed the collaborating organizations to: 1. identify and clarify the healthcare needs and priorities of the residents of Bergen County; 2. engage stakeholders, including key service providers and residents throughout the County; and 3. develop a detailed Bergen County Community Health Improvement Plan. Each of the five partnering hospitals, in turn, developed individual implementation plans that drew from the countywide plan. These individual plans leverage the hospital's strengths and resources and allow them to meet the needs of those who live and work in the communities they serve. The CHNA process compiled and analyzed an array of quantitative and qualitative health related data through community interviews, household and community surveys, and focus groups. For the purpose of this assessment, the steering committee defined health broadly to include not just health status and the existence of disease but also social factors, access to care issues, and overall determinants of health. Data was collected at County-level and whenever possible at the city, town, and borough level. State and national data was also compiled to facilitate comparison and benchmarking of County and local data. Key findings from these data are summarized and the bulk of the data is provided in the appendices to this report. Once all of the assessment's health-related data was compiled, the steering committee implemented a comprehensive strategic planning process involving the hospitals, public health agencies, the County's leading health and social service providers, and the community at-large. The first task in this process was a strategic planning retreat involving the members of the CHNA's steering and advisory committees. Individual strategic planning meetings were then convened with each of the participating hospitals, the Bergen County Health Department, and CHIP. The project's findings were also presented to a number of community groups, including local health department officials, discharge planners and case managers from the participating hospitals, and the Bergen County Mental Health Task Force. Finally, preliminary findings and results were presented to the public at CHIP's annual meeting, which nearly 100 community residents and other community health stakeholders attended. The ultimate purpose of this assessment was to provide actionable data and information along with a detailed strategic plan that would engage the community, promote collaboration, and guide the County's community health improvement efforts. With this in mind, the steering committee was charged with identifying a series of goals and objectives along with a set of evidenced-based strategies that would guide the implementation process and become the core of the County's and CHIP's community health improvement plan. The steering committee agreed that whatever goals were identified needed to be attainable using existing resources. The strategies identified also needed to be shown in the existing peer-reviewed literature to be effective and cost-efficient. Finally, the associated community health improvement plan needed to be aligned with existing national, state, and county strategies being promoted by other private and public agencies, such as the New Jersey Department of Health's Shaping NJ initiative, related to obesity, fitness, and nutrition. With these commitments and public mandates in mind, the hospitals, BCDHS, and the CHIP came together to conduct a three-phased CHNA and planning project, and to update the CHIP's existing community health improvement plan. The Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships ("MAPP") process helped inform the planning processes. MAPP is a community-driven strategic planning process for improving community health. The MAPP process utilizes four types of community health needs assessments: 1. a community themes and strengths assessment; 2. a local public health system assessment; 3. a community health status report; and 4. a forces of change assessment. While this present effort did not utilize the MAPP process specifically, all four of the MAPP assessments were addressed in the various components of the approach that was applied for this assessment and planning project.

SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 3C	THE INCOME BASED CRITERIA USED TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY IS PER NEW JERSEY ADMINISTRATIVE CODE 10:52 SUB CHAPTERS 11, 12 AND 13, AND BASED UPON THE 2013 FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES (DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND SENIOR SERVICES). FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES ARE INCLUDED IN THE CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY FOR CHARITY AND DISCOUNTED CARE. THE FACILITY USES A SLIDING SCALE METHOD TO DETERMINE THE ELIGIBILITY FOR DISCOUNTED CARE.
SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 6A	ANNUALLY THE ORGANIZATION PREPARES A COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT WHICH IS POSTED ON THE ORGANIZATION'S WEBSITE, WWW.HACKENSACKUMC.ORG.
SCHEDULE H, PART II	HACKENSACK UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER ("HACKENSACKUMC") ACTIVELY ENGAGES IN COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE OVERALL HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. IN ADDITION, HACKENSACKUMC PROVIDES AND SUBSIDIZES DAY CARE SERVICES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMMUNITY. THIS COMMUNITY BUILDING OPERATION RESULTED IN A LOSS OF $299,000 IN 2014.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 4	BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS CALCULATED USING THE PROVIDERS' BAD DEBT EXPENSE FROM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, NET OF ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AT CHARGES. THE AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS WERE PREPARED AND ISSUED FOR HACKENSACK UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES, WHICH INCLUDES HACKENSACK UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER ("HACKENSACKUMC"). HACKENSACK UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES CONSTITUTE A TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM ("NETWORK"). PLEASE REFER TO THE NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE AND PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SECTION OF FOOTNOTE 1 ON PAGE 12 AND THE CHARITY AND UNCOMPENSATED CARE FOOTNOTE 2 ON PAGE 14 OF THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE NETWORK ATTACHED TO THIS FORM 990.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 8	THE COSTING METHODOLOGY UTILIZED TO DETERMINE THE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS WAS THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO AS DERIVED FROM THE 2014 MEDICARE COST REPORT. THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT EXPENSE ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE AND ASSOCIATED COSTS SHOULD BE INCLUDED WITHIN FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. AS OUTLINED MORE FULLY BELOW THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT THESE SERVICES AND RELATED COSTS PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE AND ARE RENDERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH HACKENSACKUMC'S CHARITABLE TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES AND MISSION IN PROVIDING MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUAL'S IN A NON-DISCRIMINATORY MANNER WITHOUT REGARD TO RACE, COLOR, CREED, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN OR ABILITY TO PAY AND CONSISTENT WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD PROMULGATED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE ("IRS"). THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IS THE CURRENT STANDARD FOR A HOSPITAL FOR RECOGNITION AS A TAX-EXEMPT AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE ("IRC") 501(C)(3). THE ORGANIZATION IS RECOGNIZED AS A TAX-EXEMPT ENTITY AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER 501(C)(3) OF THE IRC. ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO DEFINITION IN THE IRC FOR THE TERM "CHARITABLE" A REGULATION PROMULGATED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY PROVIDES SOME GUIDANCE AND STATES THAT "THE TERM CHARITABLE IS USED IN SECTION 501(C)(3) IN ITS GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE," AND PROVIDES EXAMPLES OF CHARITABLE PURPOSES, INCLUDING THE RELIEF OF THE INDIGENT OR UNDERPRIVILEGED; THE PROMOTION OF SOCIAL WELFARE; AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION, RELIGION, AND SCIENCE. NOTE IT DOES NOT EXPLICITLY ADDRESS THE ACTIVITIES OF HOSPITALS. IN THE ABSENCE OF EXPLICIT STATUTORY OR REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS APPLYING THE TERM "CHARITABLE" TO HOSPITALS, IT HAS BEEN LEFT TO THE IRS TO DETERMINE THE CRITERIA HOSPITALS MUST MEET TO QUALIFY AS IRC 501(C)(3) CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS. THE ORIGINAL STANDARD WAS KNOWN AS THE CHARITY CARE STANDARD. THIS STANDARD WAS REPLACED BY THE IRS WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD WHICH IS THE CURRENT STANDARD. CHARITY CARE STANDARD IN 1956, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 56-185 WHICH ADDRESSED THE REQUIREMENTS HOSPITALS NEEDED TO MEET IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR IRC 501(C)(3) STATUS. ONE OF THESE REQUIREMENTS IS KNOWN AS THE "CHARITY CARE STANDARD." UNDER THIS STANDARD, A HOSPITAL HAS TO PROVIDE, TO THE EXTENT OF ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY, FREE OR REDUCED-COST CARE TO PATIENTS UNABLE TO PAY FOR IT. A HOSPITAL THAT EXPECTED FULL PAYMENT DID NOT, ACCORDING TO THE RULING, PROVIDE CHARITY CARE BASED ON THE FACT THAT SOME PATIENTS ULTIMATELY FAILED TO PAY. THE RULING EMPHASIZED THAT A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE DID NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT A HOSPITAL HAD FAILED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENT SINCE THAT LEVEL COULD REFLECT ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PROVIDE SUCH CARE. THE RULING ALSO NOTED THAT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED COMMUNITY HOSPITALS WOULD NORMALLY QUALIFY AS CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS BECAUSE THEY SERVE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY, AND A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE WOULD NOT AFFECT A HOSPITAL'S EXEMPT STATUS IF IT WAS DUE TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY'S LACK OF CHARITABLE DEMANDS. COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IN 1969, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 69-545 WHICH "REMOVED" FROM REVENUE RULING 56-185 "THE REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO CARING FOR PATIENTS WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT RATES BELOW COST." UNDER THIS STANDARD DEVELOPED IN REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE "COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD," HOSPITALS ARE JUDGED ON WHETHER THEY PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF A BROAD CLASS OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE RULING INVOLVED A HOSPITAL THAT ONLY ADMITTED INDIVIDUALS WHO COULD PAY FOR THE SERVICES (BY THEMSELVES, PRIVATE INSURANCE, OR PUBLIC PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICARE), BUT OPERATED A FULL-TIME EMERGENCY ROOM THAT WAS OPEN TO EVERYONE. THE IRS RULED THAT THE HOSPITAL QUALIFIED AS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION BECAUSE IT PROMOTED THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN ITS COMMUNITY. THE IRS REASONED THAT BECAUSE THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH WAS A CHARITABLE PURPOSE ACCORDING TO THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY, IT FELL WITHIN THE "GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE" OF THE TERM "CHARITABLE," AS REQUIRED BY TREASURY REGULATION 1.501(C)(3)-1(D)(2). THE IRS RULING STATED THAT THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH, LIKE THE RELIEF OF POVERTY AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION AND RELIGION, IS ONE OF THE PURPOSES IN THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY THAT IS DEEMED BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE EVEN THOUGH THE CLASS OF BENEFICIARIES ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A DIRECT BENEFIT FROM ITS ACTIVITIES DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, SUCH AS INDIGENT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, PROVIDED THAT THE CLASS IS NOT SO SMALL THAT ITS RELIEF IS NOT OF BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. THE IRS CONCLUDED THAT A HOSPITAL WAS "PROMOTING THE HEALTH OF A CLASS OF PERSONS THAT IS BROAD ENOUGH TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY" BECAUSE ITS EMERGENCY ROOM WAS OPEN TO ALL AND IT PROVIDED CARE TO EVERYONE WHO COULD PAY, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT. OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HOSPITAL THAT THE IRS HIGHLIGHTED INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING: - ITS SURPLUS FUNDS WERE USED TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE, EXPAND HOSPITAL FACILITIES, AND ADVANCE MEDICAL TRAINING, EDUCATION, AND RESEARCH; - IT WAS CONTROLLED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES THAT CONSISTED OF INDEPENDENT CIVIC LEADERS; AND - HOSPITAL MEDICAL STAFF PRIVILEGES WERE AVAILABLE TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS. ADDITIONALLY, THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION ("AHA") OUTLINED IN A LETTER TO THE IRS DATED AUGUST 21, 2007 WITH RESPECT TO THE FIRST PUBLISHED DRAFT OF THE CURRENT FORM 990 AND SCHEDULE H, THAT AHA BELIEVES THE IRS SHOULD INCORPORATE THE FULL VALUE OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT ("TOTAL BENEFITS TO THE COMMUNITY") THAT HOSPITALS PROVIDE BY COUNTING MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: - PROVIDING CARE FOR THE ELDERLY AND SERVING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD, - MANY MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE INDIGENT AND ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID - ALSO KNOWN AS "DUAL ELIGIBLES." DUAL ELIGIBLES ARE AMONG THE SICKEST AND POOREST INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY EITHER MEDICARE OR MEDICAID. MOST DUAL ELIGIBLES ARE VERY LOW-INCOME INDIVIDUALS. IN 2008, 86% OF DUAL ELIGIBLES HAD ANNUAL INCOMES BELOW 150% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL, COMPARED TO 22% OF NON-DUAL MEDICARE BENEFICIARES. ONLY 7% HAD ANNUAL INCOMES GREATER THAN 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. THERE IS A VERY COMPELLING PUBLIC POLICY REASON TO TREAT MEDICARE AND MEDICAID UNDERPAYMENTS SIMILARLY FOR PURPOSES OF A HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND INCLUDE THESE COSTS ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THE ANNUAL OVERALL MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS MUST BE ASSUMED BY THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE COMMUNITY'S ELDERLY AND INDIGENT. THESE UNDERPAYMENTS REPRESENT A REAL COST OF SERVING THE COMMUNITY AND SHOULD COUNT AS A QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT. BOTH AHA AND HACKENSACKUMC BELIEVE THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. LIKE MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT (SHORTFALLS), THERE ALSO ARE COMPELLING REASONS THAT PATIENT ACCOUNTS DETERMINED TO BE BAD DEBT EXPENSE SHOULD BE COUNTED AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS FOLLOWS: - A SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO LOW-INCOME PATIENTS, WHO, FOR MANY REASONS, DECLINE TO COMPLETE THE FORMS REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH ELIGIBILITY FOR CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. A 2006 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE ("CBO") REPORT, "NONPROFIT HOSPITALS AND THE PROVISION OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS", CITED TWO STUDIES INDICATING THAT "THE GREAT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT WAS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WITH INCOME BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE." - THE REPORT ALSO NOTED THAT A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING APPLICATION FOR AND ULTIMATE APPROVAL FOR CHARITY CARE. UNLIKE BAD DEBT IN OTHER INDUSTRIES, HOSPITAL BAD DEBT IS COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT HOSPITALS FOLLOW THEIR MISSION TO THE COMMUNITY AND TREAT EVERY PATIENT THAT COMES THROUGH THEIR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. PATIENTS WHO HAVE OUTSTANDING BILLS ARE NOT TURNED AWAY, UNLIKE OTHER INDUSTRIES. BAD DEBT IS FURTHER COMPLICATED BY THE ACCOUNTING INDUSTRY'S STANDARDS ON REPORTING CHARITY CARE. MANY PATIENTS CANNOT OR DO NOT PROVIDE THE NECESSARY, EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED TO BE DEEMED CHARITY CARE BY AUDITORS. AS A RESULT, ROUGHLY 40% OF THE ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. - THE CBO CONCLUDED THAT ITS FINDINGS "SUPPORT THE VALIDITY OF THE USE OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE [BAD DEBT AND CHARITY CARE] AS A MEASURE OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS" ASSUMING THE FINDINGS ARE GENERALIZABLE NATIONWIDE; THE EXPERIENCE OF HOSPITALS AROUND THE NATION REINFORCES THAT THEY ARE GENERALIZABLE. AS OUTLINED BY AHA, DESPITE THE HOSPITALS' BEST EFFORTS AND DUE DILIGENCE, PATIENT BAD DEBT IS A PART OF THE HOSPITAL'S MISSION AND CHARITABLE PURPOSES. BAD DEBT REPRESENTS PART OF THE BURDEN HOSPITALS SHOULDER IN SERVING ALL PATIENTS R
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 9B	ACCOUNTS CONSIDERED TO BE CHARITY CARE ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBT, BUT RATHER, ACCOUNTED FOR AS A REDUCTION TO NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 2	PLEASE REFER TO OUR RESPONSES INCLUDED IN SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 3	UNDER ITS CHARITY CARE POLICY, HACKENSACKUMC INFORMS AND EDUCATES PATIENTS AND PERSONS WHO MAY BE BILLED FOR PATIENT CARE ABOUT THEIR ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE UNDER FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS BY MEETING WITH A HOSPITAL FINANCIAL AID SPECIALIST. THE HOSPITAL FINANCIAL AID SPECIALIST ALSO ANSWERS ALL INCOMING CALLS AND MAILS OUT THE NEW JERSEY HOSPITAL CARE BROCHURES UPON REQUEST. THE HOSPITAL FINANCIAL AID RECEPTIONIST WILL PROCESS ALL REQUESTS FOR CHARITY CARE FROM PROSPECTIVE APPLICANTS AND SECURE THE PROPER DOCUMENTATION THAT FOLLOWS THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH GUIDELINES FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ONCE APPROVED BASED ON INCOME/ASSET GUIDELINES, THEY WILL PREPARE A DETERMINATION OF CHARITY CARE NOTICE BASED ON THE RESULTS OF THE CALCULATIONS AND SEND IT TO THE PATIENT.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 4	SERVICE AREA ------------ HACKENSACKUMC DEFINES ITS PRIMARY SERVICE AREA FOR INPATIENTS ("PSA") AS BERGEN COUNTY, ITS SECONDARY SERVICE AREA ("SSA") AS PASSAIC AND HUDSON COUNTIES, AND ITS TERTIARY SERVICE AREA ("TSA") AS OTHER COUNTIES IN NEW JERSEY AND CERTAIN COUNTIES IN NEW YORK AND PENNSYLVANIA. THE 2010 POPULATION OF THE PSA AND SSA WERE 905,116 AND 1,135,492, RESPECTIVELY, ACCORDING TO THE U.S. CENSUS BUREAU. IN 2010, APPROXIMATELY 22.6% OF THE PSA POPULATION AND 22.5% OF THE SSA POPULATION WERE UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE AND 15.1% OF THE PSA POPULATION AND 11.1% OF THE SSA POPULATION WERE 65 YEARS OF AGE AND OLDER, ACCORDING TO THE U.S. CENSUS BUREAU. IN 2014, APPROXIMATELY 58% OF HACKENSACKUMC'S 45,537 DISCHARGES CAME FROM BERGEN COUNTY, 13.4% FROM HUDSON COUNTY AND 12.4% FROM PASSAIC COUNTY. HACKENSACKUMC REFERS TO BERGEN, HUDSON AND PASSAIC COUNTIES AS THE "TRI-COUNTY PSA/SSA". HACKENSACKUMC ALSO ATTRACTS A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF PATIENTS WHO RESIDE BEYOND THE TRI-COUNTY PSA/SSA, AND FREQUENTLY THESE PATIENTS ARE SEEKERS OF SUB-SPECIALTY CARE. IN 2014, APPROXIMATELY 16.2% OF HACKENSACKUMC'S DISCHARGES CAME FROM OUTSIDE OF THE TRI-COUNTY PSA/SSA. A CONSISTENT GOAL OF HACKENSACKUMC OVER THE PAST TWO DECADES HAS BEEN TO REDUCE OUTMIGRATION OF PSA AND SSA PATIENTS TO HOSPITALS IN NEW YORK CITY. ALTHOUGH HACKENSACKUMC HAS EXPERIENCED A REDUCTION IN OUTMIGRATION AND INCREASED PSA AND SSA ADMISSIONS, THE CONTINUING REDUCTION OF OUTMIGRATION REMAINS A LONG-TERM OBJECTIVE.

CORE FORM, PART III; STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS	Hackensack university medical center (the "medical center" or "hackensackumc") is a not-for-profit new jersey corporation exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code of 1986, as amended (the "code"). Hackensackumc owns and operates a 775 licensed bed acute care teaching hospital located at 30 prospect avenue in the city of hackensack, bergen county, new jersey. Bergen county is the largest county by population in the state of new jersey (the "state"), with a 2013 population of 918,888. According to the u.s. census bureau 2013 population estimates, it has the sixteenth highest per capita income in the united states. The medical center is located near major highways in northeastern new jersey, including interstate 80, the new jersey turnpike, the garden state parkway, state routes 4, 17, and 46 and is approximately 12 miles from new york city. Hackensackumc was founded in 1888 as a 12-bed hospital to provide acute care for the residents of the city of hackensack. In the last 35 years, the medical center has evolved from a community hospital offering patients a secondary level of healthcare services to a teaching hospital affiliated with Georgetown University School of Medicine, Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, Seton Hall University, St. George's University, and Stevens Institute of Technology. Hackensackumc provides these services primarily to residents of bergen, hudson and passaic counties, but also to patients from throughout the state and adjacent counties in southeastern new york and eastern pennsylvania. To learn more, visit hackensackumc.org. Hackensackumc is a regional leader in many service programs and its management believes that patients whose primary physicians are not on the hackensackumc medical staff are referred to hackensackumc because of its reputation for high quality care and its array of specialized services, such as cardiac services; oncology (which includes one of the largest bone marrow/stem cell transplantation programs in the country); transplantation services; and women's and children's services. Since 1999, the medical center's bed complement has increased from 579 licensed beds to the present licensed complement of 775 beds. Adult and pediatric occupancy has consistently approximated 90% soon after each bed capacity expansion of 30 beds in 2000, 68 beds in 2001, and 98 beds in 2006, which further supports the necessity of the medical center within its community. Hackensackumc is bergen county's largest employer with a work force in 2014 of 7,548 employees. Hackensackumc has a volunteer population of approximately 2,400 men, women, and teenagers, who donate their time to hackensackumc each year. Hackensackumc offers one of the region's most modern campuses, which is continually updated and expanded to incorporate emerging clinical approaches, medicine, and technologies. The medical center consists of seventeen buildings and five freestanding parking garages, located on its main campus in the city of hackensack. Seven of the buildings are used for inpatient services and six are used for outpatient services. On this campus, hundreds of specialized programs and services are delivered. Hackensack university health network: Hackensack University Health Network (HackensackUHN) is the New Jersey-based parent company of HackensackUMC, the HackensackUMC Foundation, Hackensack University Medical Groups, and corporate joint venture partners with LHP Hospital Group in ownership of two hospitals: HackensackUMC at Pascack Valley and HackensackUMC Mountainside. In 2015, the Network signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Seton Hall University to form the only private school of medicine in New Jersey. In late 2014, HackensackUHN announced its plans to merge with Meridian Health, forming the largest integrated health system in the state. Also in 2014, HackensackUHN announced that Palisades Medical Center will become a full member of the Network. Together with six other health systems, the Network is part of the nation's largest healthcare consortium of its kind, AllSpire Health Partners. HackensackUHN also enjoys clinical and academic affiliations with some of the nation's most well-renowned health systems, hospitals and universities, including: CityMD, Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, Georgetown University School of Medicine, Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center, MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, MinuteClinic, North Shore-LIJ Health System, NYU Langone Medical Center's Division of Pediatric Surgery, Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, St. George's University, Statesir Cancer Center at CentraState Medical Center, and Stevens Institute of Technology. With more than 11,300 employees, 3,100 credentialed medical staff members and 1,697 hospital and nursing home beds at hospitals within the Network, Hackensack University Health Network is one of the largest healthcare systems in New Jersey. World-class cardiac care: Hackensackumc is home to the heart & vascular hospital, one of america's most comprehensive cardiac and vascular care centers. This "hospital within a hospital" provides a full-range of state-of-the-art invasive and non-invasive services, including electrophysiology studies, a state-designated cardiac catheterization center, and one of the largest cardiac surgery programs in the state. The care at the heart & vascular hospital has garnered national recognition by ranked in u.s. news & world report's 2014-15 best hospitals list for cardiology and heart surgery, and listed on becker's hospital review 2014 "100 hospitals with great heart programs" list. Led by breakthrough research, the heart & vascular hospital integrates preventive, diagnostic, and treatment services with a special focus on cardiovascular disease management. Inpatients and outpatients are treated for all types of cardiac and vascular diseases by an array of specialists-all from one central location. This collaborative, multidisciplinary model allows for more efficient and effective care. One of the nation's largest cancer centers: At 155,000 square-feet, the john theurer cancer center at hackensackumc is one of the nation's largest and most comprehensive cancer centers, and ranks in the top 10 for patient volume. Opened in december of 2010, the cancer center has quickly established a reputation of excellence and has been ranked among the 50 best hospitals in the united states and is the highest-ranked cancer center in new jersey in the 2014-15 u.s. news & world report's best hospitals for cancer list. Becker's hospital review listed the john theurer cancer center on its "100 hospitals and health systems with great oncology programs" list. The cancer center houses outpatient cancer services and incorporates diagnostic facilities, chemotherapy preparation and infusion areas, pharmacy and laboratory resources, as well as a full spectrum of radiation oncology services. We have 14 specialized teams on-site who are fully engaged in the medical and emotional care of patients and their loved ones. Each of the 14 divisions features teams of physicians, nurses, technologists, and support staff with clinical and research expertise in a specific type of cancer, allowing for advanced, focused care. The john theurer cancer center was built following eco-friendly guidelines outlined by the leadership in energy and environmental design and developed by the u.S. Green building council, making it an institution devoted to life-sustaining practices from the inside out. Nationally-renowned children's hospital. As a state-designated children's hospital, the joseph m. Sanzari children's hospital provides comprehensive medical and surgical pediatric care in more than 30 specialties, all integrated within a state-of-the-art child-focused facility. The 300,000 square-foot facility offers 24-hour access to leading physicians, nurses, staff and a pediatric emergency department. This facility is one of the country's first environmentally responsible and sustainable healthcare facilities and has been ranked as one of the top 10 green hospitals by the green guide. The joseph m. Sanzari children's hospital has also been named among the top 50 best children's hospitals for neurology and neurosurgery in the u.s. news & world report's 2014-15 best children's hospitals rankings. It is the first hospital in new jersey ever to be ranked in any best children's hospitals specialty.
CORE FORM, PART III	Environmentally-friendly hospital designed just for women: As the recipient of the healthgrades women's health excellence award for seven consecutive years, the donna a. Sanzari women's hospital is dedicated to providing superior care to its patients. The hospital is part of the 300,000 square-foot sarkis and siran gabrellian women's and children's pavilion. The pavilion was carefully planned and developed with the Deirdre Imus Environmental Health Center to provide exceptional patient satisfaction and services within an environmentally healthy facility. Its design, energy systems, cleaning supplies, linens, medical equipment, and even the food prepared for patient/staff/visitor consumption are environmentally friendly in keeping with the values of the deirdre imus environmental center for pediatric oncology, an award-winning non-profit organization at hackensackumc. In 2014, we welcomed more than 6,290 babies - more than any other hospital in new jersey - a true testament to our long history of trusted care in the community. In 2014, hackensackumc received the healthgrades women's health excellence award for the ninth year in a row - the only hospital in the nation to do so. Quality & accreditations: Hackensackumc is continuing to prove that "impossible" is just an opinion.

Its 1,931 nurses are renowned for achieving Magnet recognition for Nursing Excellence, the highest honor that can be bestowed by the American Nurses Credentialing Center. The medical center was the first in New Jersey and the second in the country to receive this designation-a true testament to the quality of care delivered at HackensackUMC. In January 2014, HackensackUMC received its fifth Magnet designation by the American Nurses Credentialing Center-making the medical center just one of two hospitals in the entire nation to achieve this feat. After a rigorous three-day site visit by the Magnet Appraisal Team in December, they unanimously re-designated HackensackUMC as a Magnet hospital for its 20th consecutive year. Every organization has its honors and awards to recognize excellence in the field, the pursuit of the highest values, and the attainment of goals to which all others aspire. In nursing, the highest recognition that a hospital or hackensackumc can attain is the american nurses credentialing center's magnet award - an affirmation that an institution attracts and retains well-qualified nurses, upholds stringent standards for nursing practice, and promotes exceptional patient care.
CORE FORM, PART III	To be a magnet hospital means that a never-ending culture of excellence exists at hackensackumc. It is evident in the way we care for patients and their families, recognizing that each patient has individual needs, concerns, and ways of coping with illness. To be a magnet hospital means that hackensackumc values the contributions of its nurses and seeks their input in all administrative and patient care decisions. To be a magnet hospital means that other leading hospitals - such as massachusetts general hospital, the cleveland clinic, and johns hopkins hospital - turn to them for extensive mentoring. Hackensackumc is proud of its many innovations, technologies, research projects, and medical expertise. But at the top of the list is the entity that often means the most to the patients - unparalleled nursing excellence that makes hackensackumc stand tall over all others. Hackensackumc purpose, goal, and beliefs: Purpose - hackensackumc is a team committed to providing an exceptional patient experience through quality patient-centered care, education, research, and community outreach. Goal - quality continues to evolve as the number one, non-negotiable value that drives hackensackumc's mission and actions. Hackensackumc incorporates emerging business management operations to reflect a vision that puts patients in charge. Beliefs - hackensackumc is guided by the following beliefs: - quality - achieving excellence in patient-centered care and service. - service - committing to anticipate and fulfill the needs, requests, and wishes of the customers. - patient - centered care - providing care that is compassionate, empathic, and responsive to the needs, values, and preference of individual patients and the families of patients. - innovation - advancing the delivery of healthcare through the use of cutting-edge technology, research, education, and processes that achieve desired outcomes. - communication - providing timely, reliable information which results in understanding. - integrity - acting in a responsible and ethical manner. - professionalism - accepting individual responsibility and accountability within our roles, as defined by the standards of the profession. - respect - listening to, and valuing, diverse opinions. - satisfaction - creating a safe, supportive, and healing environment that inspires us to exceed the needs and expectations of patients, the families of patients, physicians, and employees. Medical specialties/services: In addition to providing a comprehensive array of secondary level patient care, the medical center provides tertiary and quaternary services to a wide referral area. These services include: Cardiac care: The medical center is one of the largest and most comprehensive providers of cardiac care in the state offering a full-range of state-of-the-art invasive and non-invasive diagnostic and treatment services including preventive cardiology with ultra-fast computerized electron beam tomography, non-invasive cardiology laboratory, pacemaker center, congestive heart failure and pulmonary hypertension program, cardiac catheterization laboratory, electrophysiology program, cardiac surgery, and cardiac rehabilitation. Hackensackumc's eight cardiac catheterization laboratories are using radio-frequency for totally blocked arteries, intracoronary ultrasound, and neuro-intravascular procedures. Recently the ability to temporarily place a catheter-based heart assist device allows the performance of interventional procedures even in the highest-risk patients. Electrophysiology includes atrial fibrillation ablations, lead extractions, and electro anatomical mapping with cardiomerge technology. The heart center is an outpatient cardiac department that offers stress testing, echocardiograms, halter monitor services, a pacemaker center, electron-beam tomography, enhanced external counter pulsation, and outpatient diagnostic services. A new picture archiving communication system and report-generating system has recently been installed. The new heart & vascular hospital is charting the future of cardiovascular care in new jersey. Hackensackumc has embarked on a mission to recruit the very best cardiologists in the community to enhance the state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment services offered at the new, cutting-edge heart & vascular hospital. This "hospital within a hospital" provides additional space, superior patient care, and access to leading technology. Cancer care: The John Theurer cancer center at Hackensackumc ("the Cancer Center") is New Jersey's largest and most comprehensive center dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, management, research, screenings and preventive care of patients with all types of cancer, and is among the nation's top providers in patient volume. The cancer center recorded approximately 58,220 active treatments during 2014. Each week, approximately 160 new patients seek out Hackensackumc's services. Its adult blood and marrow stem cell transplantation program, now one of the top in the United States, treats more than 314 patients a year. Housed within Hackensackumc, the cancer center provides state-of-the-art technological advances, compassionate care, research innovations, medical expertise, and a full range of after care services that distinguish the cancer center from other facilities. The cancer center has experienced steady growth in its cancer care programs. It offers patients access to one of fourteen specialized divisions: bone marrow transplantation, breast, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, gynecological, head and neck, leukemia, lymphoproliferative, multiple myeloma, neuro-oncology, skin and sarcoma, supplementary care and pain management, thoracic, and research. In addition, it is one of only 50 programs in the nation designated as a community clinical oncology program (ccop) by the national cancer institute (nci) of the national institutes of health. A ccop is a group of community hospitals and physicians funded by a peer-reviewed cooperative agreement to participate in nci-sponsored cancer treatment, prevention, and controlled clinical trials. The cancer center encompasses the entire range of advanced diagnostic and treatment capabilities that are available only at major hospitals such as hackensackumc. These include all types of imaging studies, including pet scanning, mri, ct scanning, and nuclear medicine; advanced minimally invasive surgical diagnostics, such as stereotactic biopsies and sentinel lymph node mapping; robotic and minimally invasive surgical procedures; state-of-the-art radiation therapy, including intensity modulated radiation therapy (imrt), tomotherapy, implant and high-dose-rate brachytherapy, and stereotactic radiosurgery; non-surgical treatments, including radiofrequency ablation; advanced chemotherapy using new medications and combinations; hormonal therapy; stem cell transplantation; and highly promising immunotherapy using vaccines to destroy cancer cells. However, at the cancer center, hackensackumc is not satisfied to provide the most advanced, state-of-the-art services and technology available today. Nor is it satisfied to provide cutting-edge basic research, clinical trials, and innovative treatment methods that are not found anywhere else in new jersey. When it comes to helping people face the biggest challenge of their lives - a diagnosis of cancer - hackensackumc reaches beyond its facilities, its equipment, and its treatments and offers patients the best of hackensackumc, the cancer care team of dedicated individuals. No treatment can work without the skills, expertise, and compassion of hackensackumc's extraordinary team of cancer care experts. Its mission to provide extraordinary care starts with each member of its team. Hackensackumc pledges to partner with patients in the fight of their lives, and to make every effort to support them during their experiences with hackensackumc. Patients are not a number to hackensackumc, but a mother, father, sister, brother, aunt, or uncle. Hackensackumc cares for patients with dignity and respect as hackensackumc makes this journey together with patients. The cancer center works closely with several centers of excellence that offer diagnostic and treatment capabilities that are not readily available at other cancer facilities in new jersey. These include the world-renowned adult blood and marrow stem cell transplantation program; the prostate cancer institute of new jersey; the betty torricelli institute for breast care; the institute for radiosurgery; the colon cancer prevention center; and the department of radiation oncology.
CORE FORM, PART III	The cancer center is the first cancer center in new jersey to acquire a new, cutting edge radiotherapy system that enables a radically different approach to treating cancer with image-guided radiotherapy (igrt) known as the truebeam system. This state-of-the-art radiotherapy system allows the john theurer cancer center to offer even faster treatments, enhanced accuracy, and quicker imaging at lower doses. Basic research: Basic research studies at the cancer center and hackensackumc's on-site david joseph jurist research center for tomorrows children are currently looking into the origins of cancer at the molecular level, how and why cells progress into cancer, and the basic biology of graft-versus-host disease, a common and potentially fatal side effect of stem cell transplantation. Stem cell transplantation is used to treat hematological (blood) cancers, such as leukemia and lymphoma; cancers that involve solid tumors, such as breast and ovarian cancer; serious blood disorders; and immune system deficiencies. Clinical trials offer innovative treatments: As a world-class facility and academic hospital, the cancer center is actively involved in clinical trials that bring research advances directly to patients. The cancer center participates in more than 100 international and national cancer clinical trials that give patients access to promising investigational medications, treatment protocols, and surgical techniques that are often not available at other facilities in new jersey. Key areas of cancer research that are currently taking place include targeted therapies that pinpoint cancer cells and spare normal cells, gene therapy to mutate cancer, advances in stem cell transplantation, new combinations of chemotherapy, new radiation oncology cancer cells and safe viruses to make vaccines that combat cancer. Bone marrow transplantation program: The adult blood and marrow stem cell transplantation program provides autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in the treatment of malignant and non-malignant diseases including use of bone marrow, peripheral blood stem cells, and umbilical cord blood stem cells. This program also serves as a collection facility for national marrow donor program donor centers. The adult blood and marrow stem cell transplantation program, was the first center in the country to receive a bone marrow transplant disease specific recognition by the joint commission (formerly the joint commission on accreditation of healthcare organizations, the "joint commission") a non-profit organization that accredits and certifies over 15,000 healthcare organizations and programs in the united states. An affiliation has been formed with the transplant program at the national cancer institute of the national institutes of health, which enables sharing of protocols. This program has over twenty-one open transplant protocols in use at this time and eight more awaiting approval. The institute for breast care: Staffed by radiologists, pathologists, nurses and technologists specially trained in breast care, the institute for breast care offers comprehensive breast diagnostic services. These services include screening and diagnostic mammography, breast ultrasound, breast magnetic resonance imaging ("mri"), stereotactic guided core biopsies, ultrasound guided procedures (fine needle aspiration and core biopsy), needle localizations for excisional biopsies, and radiologic second opinions. The onsite pathology laboratory permits immediate evaluation of the specimens when needed. The institute for breast care also conducts breast cancer research, including prevention, and provides patient and community education and support. Specialized pediatric care: The medical center is the only hospital in its service area that offers a comprehensive range of pediatric specialty and subspecialty services at one location. As a result of its extensive range of services, the medical center has been designated as an institutional member of the national association of children's hospitals and related institutions, as a children's hospital by the new jersey department of health and senior services (njdhss), as a regional perinatal center by njdhss and as a regional diagnostic and treatment center for abused children by the legislature of new jersey. The medical center's pediatric services and programs include, but are not limited to, neonatology and pediatric pulmonology, neurosciences, rheumatology, hematology/oncology, infectious diseases, renal transplantation, nephrology, gastroenterology, cardiology, immunology, dermatology, endocrinology, child development (autism), and the only bone marrow transplant program in new jersey. The medical center is the only hospital in bergen county that is designated as a regional perinatal center. A regional perinatal center provides all levels of pre- and post-natal medical, surgical, and subspecialty services for mothers and babies. The medical center is equipped and staffed to handle high-risk pregnancies and complications of full-term and premature newborns. The program provides 24-hour, seven-day-a-week coverage by perinatologists, neonatologists, and pediatricians. The medical center operates a neonatal intensive care unit (nicu) which provides 24-hour coverage by board-certified neonatologists. The medical center also operates a pediatric intensive care unit (picu), which provides care for children who require critical monitoring and intensive medical intervention. Transport services are provided for children from outlying hospitals who are referred to both the picu and the nicu. An adjacent pediatric epilepsy monitoring unit to the picu is the only level 4 (the highest level) epilepsy center in the state accredited by the national association of epilepsy centers. The Pediatric Emergency and Trauma Program provides emergency care for children with acute illnesses and traumatic injuries. It is physically separate from the Adult Emergency Department and is staffed by trained pediatric physicians and nurses. In 2014, there were 33,404 visits to the Pediatric Emergency Room. The tomorrow's children's institute for cancer and blood disorders provides specialized care to children with hematology/oncology disorders. The institute for child development provides diagnostic and therapeutic services for infants, children and adolescents with developmental and behavioral problems. It is also a state-funded center of excellence for autism spectrum disorders. The pediatric rheumatology program is the largest in the new york metropolitan area. The program primarily receives referrals from physicians in bergen, hudson, and passaic counties but also attracts patients throughout the united states and internationally. The medical center is a regional diagnostic and treatment center for abused children, and is one of three such centers in the state. This center is housed in its own facility, known as audrey hepburn children's house, located adjacent to the medical center. While at audrey hepburn children's house, children and adolescents who are suspected victims of abuse and/or neglect receive diagnostic and therapeutic services, and undergo evaluation by a multi-disciplinary team in a supportive environment rather than undergoing a traumatic process of multiple evaluations in a hospital setting. The medical center's other associated/supportive services for children include the cj foundation for sudden infant death syndrome ("sids") and the new jersey sids center, dedicated to funding research into and counseling families stricken by sids; the molly foundation for diabetes research, which funds research in the treatment and possible cure for juvenile diabetes; the steven and richard bader immunological center, which provides a multi-disciplinary approach to the diagnosis and management of children with suspected or proven difficulties in fighting infection because of immune deficiency disorders; and the judy center for down's syndrome, which provides comprehensive care for children and adults with this genetic disorder. Geriatric care: Almost 40 percent of the bed-days at the medical center are covered by Medicare. Given the need to provide person-specific rather than site-specific care, the geriatric service cares for elders at the geriatric center, in the hospital, in post-acute care and long term care settings and at assisted living facilities. Organ transplantation: The medical center performs adult kidney transplants, pediatric kidney transplants and pancreas transplants (in conjunction with kidney transplants). The kidney and pancreas transplant programs at the medical center are the only such programs in Bergen, Passaic or Hudson County. In 2014 the medical center performed 31 kidney transplants/harvests.
CORE FORM, PART III	The Center for Allergy, Asthma and Immune diseases: The center offers a multi-disciplinary approach to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of disorders and illnesses of the immune system. Staffed by a team of board-certified allergy/immunology specialists, the center provides expert care in respiratory allergies, food and drug allergies, asthma, persistent sinusitis and other recurrent infections in one location. Services also include patient education provided by clinical nurse educators and licensed nutritionists; the ability to participate in clinical research trials; double blind oral food challenges, aspirin challenges and desensitization; and assessment of medication reactions. The center received 13,500 visits in 2014. Urology and urologic oncology: The department of urology offers comprehensive diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive services for patients with both malignant and nonmalignant genitourinary disorders. Centers for bladder, prostate and pelvic floor health, male reproductive medicine and human sexuality, endourology and stone disease, cryosurgery, pediatric urology and minimally invasive urologic surgery are established to treat both inpatient and outpatient populations. The Davinci Robotic Surgical System is used for urologic surgery and for training of surgeons from across the country. Research activities include prostate high intensity focused ultrasound and fluorescence based cystoscopy for bladder cancer. The department participated in clinical trials with PROVENGE, a newly approved drug for the treatment of prostate cancer, and is using new radiation based technology with True Beam Software and Wireless Radiation Sensors known as DVS. Diagnostic imaging services: The diagnostic imaging department provides a full spectrum of imaging services. These include 3t (magnet strength) MRI, 64-slice computed tomography ("CT"), positron emission tomography ("PET/CT"), breast MRI, nuclear medicine, interventional radiology, ultrasound, and digital x-ray. The department operates in a fully integrated Picture Archiving and Communication System ("PACS"), a film-less environment. Physicians can log into the PACS remotely to view imaging studies anywhere there is internet access. The staff performs complex advanced procedures such as Cardiac Computed Tomography Angiography, Cardiac MRI, and Advanced PET/CT applications. All radiologists are fellowship trained in various subspecialties and an attending radiologist (not a resident in training) is on site at all times for interpretation and consultation, producing very rapid report turn-around times. Emergency services/trauma: The Jeffrey M. Creamer Emergency/Trauma Center ("ETC") is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and treats all ages and all medical conditions. In 2014, 55,613 patients visited the ETD which resulted in 13,579 admissions. There is also a separate pediatric emergency department that saw 33,404 visits in 2014, which resulted in 1,450 admissions1,450 admissions. The pediatric emergency department is staffed by physicians and nurses specialty-trained in pediatric emergency medicine. The take-a-break program now seems like an obvious idea. The family members who accompany their loved ones to emergency departments can almost always benefit from a short break - whether to pick kids up at school, make a few phone calls or just grab a cup of coffee. When the proposal was first made to set up a network of volunteers who could support family members in the emergency department and represent them in their absence, there was nothing like it anywhere in the country. Today 50 volunteers cover each of the emergency trauma center's three shifts, seven days a week. Emergency services opened a satellite emergency department at HackensackUMC north in October 2008. See "HackensackUMC at Pascack valley" herein. In 2014, this site had 4,095 visits, with 172 admissions sent to the medical center. However beginning on June 1, 2014, the emergency department at HackensackUMC north is being run by HackensackUMC at Pascack Valley. The ETC is designated by the state of New Jersey and the U.S. department of health and human services as a level ii trauma center. The ETC is also certified by the American college of surgeons and is an accredited chest pain center as per the society of chest pain centers. Since 2006, The ETC has received $14.6 million from the department of defense to develop a program that will enhance the level of emergency preparedness in Northern New Jersey. The mobile emergency response prototype produced encompasses two 7-bed mobile emergency trauma units, a mobile communications vehicle and a biological incident response vehicle. Ambulatory surgery: The medical center provides same day surgery services on its main campus in three distinct locations; the center for ambulatory surgery, the pediatric surgical suite, and the center for plastic and reconstructive surgery. Specialties include dental, general, plastic, orthopedic, pediatric, vascular, gynecological, urological and podiatric surgery; neurosurgery; otolaryngology; and ophthalmology. The medical center performed 15,438 same day surgeries in 2014. Research: Research is what distinguishes HackensackUMC from other area community hospitals. Research gives HackensackUMC's staff the ability to explore the newest and most promising medical treatments and comprehensive medical and support services. This pursuit gives HackensackUMC and other allied staff the extraordinary ability to explore new and better approaches to medicine - to uncover and deliver novel treatment breakthroughs. Research centers attract gifted physicians and scientists who collaborate with leading investigators in their field. This is true of researchers at HackensackUMC. The David Joseph Jurist Research Center for Tomorrow's Children is a five-story, 55,000-square-foot building which houses the David and Alice Jurist Institute for Research. The research center consolidates all of HackensackUMC's ongoing research activities into one location. The facility enhances the tireless work that the HackensackUMC's scientists and physician-investigators are pursuing as partners in national and international multi-center trials. HackensackUMC partnered with the university of Miami Diabetes Research institute, one of the world's leading centers for research on the disease. HackensackUMC patients with type 1, or juvenile diabetes will take part in a trial in which insulin-producing islet cells are transplanted to their abdomens. This trial has the promise of being an important step on the way to a cure for this disease. The research center is also home to the Deirdre Imus Environmental Center for pediatric oncology. The Jurist Institute is named for David Joseph Jurist, co-president of The Tomorrow's Children's Fund for pediatric cancer and the father of Eileen Jurist, who was treated for Hodgkin's disease at HackensackUMC's tomorrow's children's institute for cancer and blood disorders. Mr. Jurist and his wife, Alice, are active participants in all of the Tomorrow's Children's Fund initiatives. Highlights of the David Joseph Jurist Research Center for Tomorrow's Children include laboratories for basic and clinical research; administrative offices; a "vivarium"; state-of-the-art operating rooms; and a lecture hall equipped with audio-visual technology and a telecommunications system. Scientists and physicians at HackensackUMC frequently contribute to the body of knowledge about diseases, medical conditions, treatment advances, technological breakthroughs, quality-of-life issues, and other pertinent research issues through publication of research findings, abstracts, book chapters, and other written materials. Scientific discovery is a major component of the HackensackUMC's mission and a vital component of the world-class care available at HackensackUMC. HackensackUMC's clinical, translational, and basic science research programs have grown tremendously, especially since the opening in 2000 of The David Joseph Jurist Research center for Tomorrow's Children.

Additionally, a large number of health-related educational programs are provided for the benefit of the community, including health enhancements and wellness, classes on specific conditions, medical education, telephone information services, and programs designed to improve the general standards of the health of the community. HackensackUMC also provides medical care without charge or at reduced costs to residents of its community who meet the criteria under the state of New Jersey public law 1992 (chapter 160) system for charity care and also incurs bad debts. Included in HackensackUMC's definition of charity care are the following: (a) services provided at no charge to the uninsured and underinsured and (b) services provided to patients expressing willingness to pay but who are determined to be unable to pay because of socioeconomic factors. HackensackUMC maintains records to identify and monitor the level of charity care it provides. Such forgone charges amounted to approximately $164,373,137 in 2014. The New Jersey health care reform act of 1992 provided for certain subsidy payments from the state to qualified hospitals to partially fund uncompensated care and certain other costs. Subsidy payments recognized as revenue amounted to approximately $9,808,105 in 2014; however as more fully outlined below estimated costs relating to providing medical care to individuals without insurance totaled approximately $47,952,210; for a net deficit of approximately $38,144,105. Based upon these statistics HackensackUMC had approximately the eighth largest charity care program in the state in terms of charity care dollars stated at Medicaid rates and the largest net loss of all New Jersey hospitals from the charity program in the state of New Jersey with a loss of $54,118,751.

CORE FORM, PART III	Community benefit continued: Hackensackumc's operations and activities are designed to benefit a wide cross section of the community, including those individuals with no insurance or ability to pay for the necessary medical services and treatment. Hackensackumc also has a program for individuals with no insurance which limits the amounts to be billed to no more than the Medicare fee schedule for inpatient services and two times the Medicare fee schedule for outpatient services. This discount program is offered to all individuals with no insurance. There is no application or means testing. For individuals who cannot afford these fees, there are means tested discounts which can reduce bills to zero. Community benefit - costs: For purposes of form 990, schedule h reporting and in accordance with current irs rules and regulations, Hackensackumc utilized the catholic health association ("cha") model when quantifying community benefit costs. Under the cha methodology for quantifying community benefit costs, Hackensackumc's 2014 net community benefit costs were approximately $103,770,064 or approximately 8.64% of its total 2014 expenses. The cha methodology does not include Medicare shortfalls and certain costs related to bad debt. Utilizing the model adopted by the American Hospital Association ("AHA"), which Hackensackumc believes more clearly represents actual community benefit, when quantifying its estimated total community benefit costs for the 2014 year would result in a significantly higher community benefit percentage. Under the AHA model, a hospital may include both Medicare shortfalls (the amount by which the costs exceed reimbursements) and costs related to bad debt. Under the AHA model during calendar year 2014, Hackensackumc incurred net community benefit costs of approximately $211,466,730; which accounted for approximately 17.59% of its total 2014 expenses. Net costs means costs after all associated reimbursements. Hackensackumc also paid directly $5,522,103 in real estate taxes during 2014.

THE AUTHORIZED BODY OBTAINED AND RELIED UPON "APPROPRIATE DATA AS TO COMPARABILITY" PRIOR TO MAKING ITS DETERMINATION; AND 3. THE AUTHORIZED BODY "ADEQUATELY DOCUMENTED THE BASIS FOR ITS DETERMINATION" CONCURRENTLY WITH MAKING THAT DETERMINATION. THE COMMITTEE IS COMPRISED OF MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, EACH OF WHOM IS "DISINTERESTED" AS DEFINED BY THE IRS IN ITS REGULATIONS DESCRIBING THIS STANDARD. THE COMMITTEE RELIED UPON APPROPRIATE COMPARABLE DATA; SPECIFICALLY THE COMMITTEE OBTAINED A WRITTEN COMPENSATION STUDY FROM AN INDEPENDENT FIRM WHICH SPECIALIZES IN THE REVIEW OF HOSPITAL AND HEALTHCARE SYSTEM EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. THIS DETAILED STUDY USES COMPARABLE GEOGRAPHIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC MARKET DATA FOR TAX-EXEMPT HOSPITALS AND HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS OF A SIMILAR LEVEL OF NET ANNUAL OPERATING REVENUE IN THE SAME GEOGRAPHIC REGION. NO DATA FROM ANY FOR-PROFIT ENTITIES IS USED. THE COMMITTEE ADEQUATELY DOCUMENTED ITS BASIS FOR ITS DETERMINATION THROUGH THE TIMELY PREPARATION OF WRITTEN MINUTES OF THE COMMITTEE MEETINGS DURING WHICH THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS WAS REVIEWED AND SUBSEQUENTLY APPROVED. THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL PROCESS USED BY THE COMMITTEE, INCLUDING ALL ACTIONS DESIGNED TO QUALIFY FOR THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS, IS APPLIED TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM OF THE SYSTEM, WHETHER OR NOT THEY WOULD BE CONSIDERED 'DISQUALIFIED PERSONS' UNDER THE INTERMEDIATE SANCTIONS RULES. IN ADDITION TO RELYING ON MARKET DATA, THE COMMITTEE APPLIES A WIDE RANGE OF BUSINESS JUDGMENT FACTORS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE, INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCE, RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION FACTORS, AND THE UNIQUE DEMANDS OF PARTICULAR POSITIONS.
