| Desc | Orthopedics, Neurology and Rehabilitation:The Ortho/Neuro/Rehab program at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center is a comprehensive program of inpatient and outpatient services designed to restore optimal function and independence to individuals who are impaired due to orthopedic or neurological illness or injury. More information about these services is on Schedule O.Orthopedics, Neurology and Rehabilitation: Expenses - $64,127,717; Revenue - $62,313,772From hip, knee and shoulder replacement to other commonly performed orthopedic procedures like hand, foot and ankle and spine and back surgery, Fort Sanders Regional (FSR) possesses a commitment to service excellence and to improving the patient experience in every way. These commitments are reflected in the comprehensive care provided orthopedic surgery patients, including:* In-depth education that fully prepares patients for surgery and recovery;* Infection prevention protocols that minimize infection risks;* Experienced, specialized surgeons and operating room teams that use state-of-the-art techniques;* A dedicated inpatient orthopedic nursing unit staffed by expert nurses and caregivers who know how to help patients recover from orthopedic surgery; and* A wide array of rehabilitation and therapy services, inpatient and outpatient, to help patients return to an active lifestyle.At the FSR Joint and Spine Center, patients undergoing knee or hip replacement surgeries are not treated as "sick" but as healthy adults undergoing a procedure that will allow them to return to an active life. The goal is to get patients out of bed and moving as quickly as possible. This is accomplished through education, surgical expertise and intense physical therapy. Patients are provided information about joint replacement and are challenged to take the lead in their recovery. Patients go through the program with a family member, who is designated as the patient's "Coach" and is taught how to assist the patient at home.Outpatient rehabilitation services are provided on the hospital campus and at a network of community based outpatient therapy centers. These centers offer a wide variety of therapy services, many of which are unique in the community. They include: * Physical, occupational and speech therapy, * Wound care, * Aquatic therapy, * Lymphedema treatment, * Low-vision and adaptive driving programs, * Certified hand therapy, * Vestibular rehabilitation, and * Functional capacity evaluations.In 2014 the hospital recorded 9,299 Wound Care Center patient visits and 86,113 Outpatient Physical Therapy visits.Conditions and diseases of the brain, spinal cord and nervous system can affect how people walk, talk, comprehend and function. FSR's neurologists specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy, tumors, stroke, Alzheimer's disease, dementia, Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis. As a Neuro-Spine Center of Excellence, FSR has made the commitment to offer the latest advancements in neurology, neurosurgery, spine surgery, and neuro-interventional radiology. Whether a patient needs medical, surgical or neuro-radiological intervention, the goal is to provide the most appropriate care to optimize patient outcome. In 2014 there were 198 Interventional neuro-radiology cases - made up of 52 Aneurysm coilings, 76 IVC Filter placements, and 70 stroke treatments.At the Fort Sanders Sleep Disorders Center, the area's first accredited sleep center, neurologists work with patients who suffer from a host of sleep/wake disorders including sleep apnea, insomnia, narcolepsy, and restless leg syndrome. The Center treated 759 patients in 2014.Fort Sanders' neurosurgeons provide surgical intervention for brain tumors, aneurysms and hemorrhages, as well as a host of spine conditions. They also provide surgical relief for issues caused by nerve and muscle diseases, carpal tunnel syndrome, chronic back pain and conditions resistant to medical management, like Parkinson's disease.An example of the hospital's commitment to state-of-the-art technology is the StealthStation Treon, which helps guide FSR's neurosurgeons through a variety of operations, including neurological and spinal procedures. This innovative 3D-imaging system uses global positioning technology to give physicians real time views inside the body, without radiation. This innovative technology allows less invasive operations and helps avoid brain and nerve damage.Strokes are the third leading cause of death in the United States and affect more than 795,000 Americans each year. As a Stroke Center of Excellence, the care provided by FSR and Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center physicians and staff utilizes state-of-the-art diagnostic, treatment and rehabilitation modalities. The hospital holds a Comprehensive Stroke Center certification from the Joint Commission (one of only 5 in the state) as well three separate stroke accreditations from the Commission on the Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). In 2014, FSR's aggregate score related to strokes was 98.3%, and it had 543 Ischemic and 105 Hemorrhagic stroke patient admissions.FSR was the first facility in the area to combine CT and bi-plane angiography with a full-time neuro-interventional radiologist to provide our region with new, minimally-invasive options for treating stroke, aneurysms, and other vascular diseases in the brain. With this system, neuro-interventional radiology procedures can be performed that would have previously required surgery and an extended hospital stay or would not have been options for some patients.Bi-plane technology improves imaging and resolution creating comprehensive 3D views of the blood vessels in the brain. Having a more precise picture of an abnormality makes it easier to diagnose and repair. A team of specialized technologists and nurses work to assist the performing radiologist with each procedure. All technologists are certified by the American Association of Radiological Technologists. Micro-catheters are inserted through the groin and then guided to the area of treatment to administer medications, coil aneurysms or retrieve clots. These new procedures often involve very short hospital stays, all while keeping radiation exposure to a safe minimum and avoiding major surgery.The Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center (PNRC) is East Tennessee's recognized leader in helping stroke, spinal cord, brain injury, orthopedic and cancer patients rebuild their lives through the delivery of optimal rehabilitation services. Opened in 1978 as an integral part of the Ortho/Neuro/Rehab program at FSR, the PNRC offers a comprehensive team approach to care. Physical, occupational, recreational, behavioral medicine and speech language therapists work with nurses and physiatrists - doctors whose specialty is physical medicine and rehabilitation. This team develops the best individual care plan to return patients to their recovery potential as quickly as possible. Rehabilitation nurses and other specialists also educate patients, teaching them self-care skills to function as well as possible upon returning home. The Center holds 10 separate accreditations from the Commission on the Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) and provides a comprehensive array of inpatient rehabilitation services that would otherwise be unavailable in the community.FSR is committed to maintaining access to unique services such as those at the PNRC. Through donations and other community support, the hospital, through the Fort Sanders Foundation, provides scholarships to allow patients with limited resources access to the rehab center's services.The Patricia Neal Innovative Recreation Cooperative (IRC) was created in 1994 to meet the needs of individuals who have suffered a life-changing illness or injury. The program was designed to be part of the continuum of care in the rehabilitation process. Its scope is to host clinics under an umbrella of education and awareness: education to teach leisure skills to enhance quality of life in a safe environment and awareness to heighten the understanding of disabilities in the community. In its existence, the IRC has seen over 7,000 participants and volunteers. The goal is to remove all the barriers to develop each individual's right to self-directed leisure for a healthier lifestyle. This program is supported by community donations, grants and a hospital subsidy.Older adults are a significant portion of the patient population in Ortho/Neuro/Rehab. FSR is committed to special health care for older adults and was the first NICHE-certified (Nurses Improving Care for Health System Elders) facility in the East Tennessee region. Care is provided to help prevent complications such as skin breakdowns, falls/injuries, pain, acute confusion, and the loss of strength and mobility. | Desc |

The Oncology Nursing Unit also serves as the inpatient component of the Stem Cell Center which is based at the Thompson Cancer Survival Center. This Stem Cell treatment center in conjunction with our Oncology Nursing Unit has accomplished accreditation by the Foundation of Accreditation for Cellular Therapy, also known as FACT.Surgical oncology is the branch of surgery which focuses on the surgical management of cancer. The medical staff at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center includes general surgical oncologists as well as thoracic surgical oncologists, gynecologic oncologists and other sub-specialists that specialize in treating cancer patients. Outcomes in surgical cancer care are positively associated to surgeon volume -- i.e. the more cancer cases a surgeon treats, the more proficient he becomes, thus improving overall outcomes and survival rates. In 2014 FSR had 461 surgical oncology cases.Due to the close proximity of Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center to Thompson Cancer Survival Center, the surgeons and staff at Fort Sanders Regional work closely with the cancer center's multidisciplinary treatment teams in the collaboration of care and treatment plans for patients with chest and breast cancer. A team of cancer specialists in differing areas of expertise, including surgeons, gather and evaluate each patient's case to determine possible treatment options. Each specialist then meets individually with the patient to go over treatment choices and answer questions. As part of outpatient Oncology care, Fort Sanders Regional has opened five outpatient Infusion Centers in the area providing many of the chemotherapy medications for cancer patients. There were 64,974 infusion visits to the infusion centers in 2014.Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, through the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center is the only place in East Tennessee, and one of a handful in the country, who offers a cancer rehabilitation program. The cancer program combines many of the rehabilitation techniques currently used for patients with brain and spinal cord injuries and strokes because the impairments cancer patients experience can be very similar to those of traumatic injuries.

| Desc | Cardiovascular Services:From diagnosis to rehabilitation, Fort Sanders Regional's award-winning Heart Center has one of the most comprehensive cardiac services available. Our advanced diagnostics, interventional technologies, cardiovascular surgery, and clinical trials are tailored to meet each patient's cardiac needs. Fort Sanders Regional's program is designed to help patients regain their strength and stamina. In 2014 the hospital recorded 1,161 admissions to the Cardiology unit with 5,945 patient days. More information about cardiology services is on Schedule O. Cardiovascular Services: Expenses - $28,389,773; Revenue - $30,192,630.The team of cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, nurses, and technologists has the right treatment and the right people to give heart patients the best possible care. Cardiopulmonary rehabilitation is an integral part of the healing process for many cardiac patients. Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center's Cardiology department is the recipient of the 2013 American College of Cardiology Foundation's NCDR ACTION Registry - 2013 GWTG Platinum Performance Achievement Award. The award recognizes the hospital's commitment and success in implementing a higher standard of care for heart attack patients. Honored hospitals have maintained a rate of performance of 90% or better for eight consecutive quarters, ending quarter four in 2012. The Joint Commission named Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center one of the nation's Top Performers on Key Quality Measures. Coronary artery disease is the term used to identify the presence of atherosclerosis in the arteries that carry blood to the heart muscle. Atherosclerosis is a buildup up of fatty substances on the inner walls of blood vessels which can block or restrict blood flow. Atherosclerosis is a major risk factor of heart attacks. For some patients, medications are the best course of action. For others, surgical intervention may be necessary. Before a plan of treatment is chosen, a definitive diagnosis is needed.Even the most complex cardiovascular problems can now be treated in Knoxville. Covenant Health is debuting "valve centers" at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center and its sister hospitals. Covenant Health is also the first health system in East Tennessee and only one of 10 in the entire state to offer TAVR, a breakthrough procedure for replacing heart valves. State-of-the-Art Cardiac DiagnosticsYou may have heard the phrase "time is muscle." This refers to heart attack survivability. When blood flow does not reach heart tissue and muscle, it dies. The faster someone can receive medical care, the better their chances for recovery. That is why a fast, accurate diagnosis of a heart condition is so important. There were 38,784 cardiac diagnostic procedures performed at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center's Cardiology Department in 2014.State-of-the-art diagnostic tools available at Fort Sanders Regional include:* The area's first Lightspeed 64-slice VCT Scanner captures an incredibly precise image of the heart in just five heartbeats. * Vivid 7 echocardiography uses ultrasound to produce a moving cardiac image in real time. * Nuclear stress tests find difficult-to-detect problems in the heart's outer covering. * Electrocardiograms provide reliable diagnostics and stress tests performed right in the hospital assure immediate care if a problem is discovered. The Latest MedicinesPhysicians at Fort Sanders Regional participate in clinical trials of new medicines for a wide range of heart conditions. Three potentially life-saving medicines for unstable angina and heart attacks are currently being tested. A new trial is investigating a drug to prevent heart attacks and strokes in acute coronary syndrome patients. Minimally-Invasive TreatmentGreat strides have been made in minimally-invasive procedures for heart-related issues. Minimally-invasive procedures allow physicians to implant valves and repair holes in the heart wall without a major incision.* The new Innova 2100-IQ all-digital cath lab gives cardiologists unprecedented image clarity to better view hard-to-see blood vessels, with less radiation exposure for patients and physicians. * Radiofrequency ablation controls rapid heartbeats with radio waves. * Drug-eluting stents open blocked arteries and help prevent a recurrence of the blockage. Cardiovascular SurgeryCardiovascular surgery includes surgical procedures to correct abnormalities within the heart and/or great vessels. The hospital recorded 335 cardiology surgical cases in 2014. Some of the more common procedures are coronary artery bypass, valve repair or replacement, correction of congenital heart defects and repair of aortic aneurysms.Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting, also referred to as CABG, is a treatment option for coronary artery disease. Based on the size, number, and locations of artery blockages, your doctor may decide that bypass surgery is the best treatment. Valve Repair and Replacement - Heart valves work like gates which open to let blood move forward and close to allow the heart chamber to fill with more blood. Problems occur when a valve does not open wide enough (stenosis) or close tight enough (regurgitation). When these problems occur, the heart cannot pump enough blood forward which causes problems over time like shortness of breath or heart failure. Your doctor may suggest that you have the valve repaired or replaced. Aortic Aneurysm Repair - The aorta is the large artery which carries blood from the heart to the major organs and other areas. This artery can develop a weakening in the wall of the vessel. If this occurs your doctor may suggest that you have it repaired. Robotically-Assisted Surgery - The da Vinci robotics system gives surgeons the capability to perform select heart procedures without opening the patient's chest and patients usually experience fewer side effects and faster recovery times. Cardiac Rehabilitation - Leaving the hospital is just the first step in recovering from a heart attack, heart surgery or angioplasty. Heart patients often need to strengthen weakened heart muscles and learn heart-healthy practices. Fort Sanders Regional's complete Cardiac Rehabilitation Outpatient Program (CROP) combines education, exercise, counseling, and more to help heart patients regain their functional capacity and reduce the possibility of future heart problems. In 2014 there were 13,627 cardiac rehabilitation visits recorded.Information for Heart Failure Patients - Fort Sanders Regional has developed a resource booklet for patients who are being treated for heart failure. This booklet includes details about heart failure, how it is diagnosed and treated, and lifestyle information for those seeking to be as healthy and active as possible while dealing with heart failure. The booklet also contains tracking sheets to record information that will be helpful for you and your healthcare provider, as well as a list of related resources and services within Covenant Health. | Desc |

| Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center | Part V, Section B, Line 5: "Together! Healthy Knox" (T!HK) was launched by the Knox County Health Department in May 2010 and was designed to create a community approach to better health. The T!HK initiative is based on the Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP) model for community health planning, which consists of specific steps meant to be repeated every three to five years. What began with a twenty partner Leadership Team grew to involve over seventy community and organizational partners. The assessment process, led by the Health Department, had broad participation from the public health community, including all Knox County hospitals. All four MAPP assessments were completed in 2011, and the T!HK Leadership Team determined the most critical issues to be addressed in Knox County. After nearly three years of data collection, analysis and meetings, the priority areas were announced to the broader community in a press conference on November 1, 2012. Three action teams formulated goals and strategies to address the three priority areas identified. |
| Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center | Part V, Section B, Line 6a: Knox County hospitals who participated in the "Together! Healthy Knox" initiative included Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, Parkwest Medical Center, East Tennessee Children's Hospital, and The University of Tennessee Medical Center. |

| Part I, Line 6a: | Covenant Health, the parent company of Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center and other affiliated acute care hospitals, prepares an annual Report to the Community on behalf of the entire system. |
| Part I, Line 7: | Amounts on Lines 7a-7c and certain program costs included on Line 7g are from the hospital's cost accounting system, which addresses all patient segments. Other community benefit expenses are at cost from the general ledger. |
| Part I, Line 7g: | The organization has included $4,612,066 in physician sponsorship fees in total subsidized health services. |
| Part I, Line 7, Column (f): | The Bad Debt expense included on Form 990, Part IX, Line 25, Column (A), but subtracted for purposes of calculating the percentage in this column is $ 21,125,957. |
| Part II, Community Building Activities: | Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center cares for the whole person and recognizes that improved social and economic conditions may lead to the improved health and well-being of the community. The hospital's community building activities and those of its parent organization, Covenant Health, address many of the root causes of health problems, such as poverty and homelessness, and help find solutions to alleviating the symptoms.An allocation of the Parent's community building expenditures has been made to each member hospital in proportion to the financial contribution of each to the health system. Covenant Health is not a hospital and does not file Schedule H with its Form 990. In 2014 contributions were made to organizations meeting the community's needs by providing:*Affordable, permanent housing and case management services to foster self-sufficiency - Habitat for Humanity*Literacy programs - Dollywood Foundation*The basic needs of life including temporary shelter, food and clothing - Catholic Charities, Ladies of Charity, United Way and others*Youth mentoring, development and after-school programs - Emerald Youth Foundation, Boys and Girls Club and Great Smoky Mountain Council, Boy Scouts of America*Business recruitment and marketing initiatives that boost economic development - Innovation Valley and East Tennessee Economic Development Agency*Leadership development programs and workshops - Leadership Knoxville *Assistance and special programs for at risk, physically challenged, abused and neglected children -Variety of Eastern Tennessee (local chapter of Variety-The Children's Charity) and East TN Tech Access Center, Inc.*Improve access to health services - Interfaith Health Clinic and Knoxville Academy of Medicine |
| Part III, Line 2: | Bad debt expense on Line 2 is the amount recorded in the organization's financial statements. Discounts and payments on patient accounts are netted against bad debt. |
| Part III, Line 3: | In 2011, the hospital reviewed all self-pay accounts receivable to identify patients who might have qualified for financial assistance. As of year end, the hospital could not make a final determination as to some patients' qualification for financial assistance because not all requested financial information had been received but felt strongly that they were in need of some form of assistance. Notes in the patient records were examined to see if a charity care application had been sent to the patients or guarantors or if the accounts were being analyzed by a business office employee for approval for charity care. The percentage of patient accounts being analyzed as a percent of total self-pay accounts receivable has been applied to the current year total bad debt expense on Line 2 to arrive at the amount reported on Line 3. For the year ended 2014, the hospital sampled the self-pay accounts receivable to validate the percentage used in 2011 has remained the same. This sample concluded the percentage was still valid and therefore the same percentage has been used for the year ended 2014.It is our belief that the amount of bad debt on Line 3 should be included as community benefit. As a tax-exempt hospital, we must provide necessary services regardless of the patient's ability to pay for the service provided. As a not-for-profit, patient care is provided to all, regardless of ability to pay for that care. Making quality patient care available to all in our community, regardless of economic means, qualifies bad debts as a community benefit. |
| Part III, Line 4: | Note B to the 2014 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Covenant Health system, of which Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center is a member, reads in part: "Patient accounts receivable are reported net of both an estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts and an estimated allowance for contractual adjustments. The contractual allowance represents the difference between established billing rates and estimated reimbursement from Medicare, TennCare and other third-party payment programs. The allowance for uncollectible accounts is estimated based upon the age of the patient accounts receivable, prior experience and any unusual circumstances (such as local, regional or national economic conditions) which affect the collectability of receivables, including management's assumptions about conditions it expects to exist and courses of action it expects to take. Covenant's policy does not require collateral or other security for patient accounts receivable and Covenant routinely accepts assignment of, or is otherwise entitled to receive, patient benefits payable under health insurance programs, plans or policies." |
| Part III, Line 8: | Costing Methodology: Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center used a combination of sources in calculating Medicare allowable costs on Part III, Line 6 including its cost accounting system, general ledger accounting system, and facility-specific analyses and calculations. |
| Part III, Line 9b: | Self-pay patients automatically receive a minimum 46% discount on charges. Federal poverty guidelines are utilized in the determination of charity care eligibility. Patients who are unable to pay and have exhausted all sources of payment assistance may qualify for charity care. A sliding scale is used for extending charity care utilizing the income levels reported under the federal poverty guidelines. Patients/guarantors with income that falls below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines receive 100% charity care. Patients/guarantors with income of 201-300% of the federal poverty guidelines receive 70% charity care.For catastrophic illness, exceptions to income and asset limitations may be made on a case-by-case basis. The amount considered for charity will be based upon the evaluation of the patient's/guarantor's ability to pay.Patients/guarantors who qualify for partial financial assistance are responsible for paying any balance remaining after the charity adjustment and third party payments. Once an account has been processed internally through routine collection channels, it may be assigned to an attorney or agency for collection. The patient/guarantor will be billed for all collection costs as may be applicable. Credit reports will be filed no earlier than 30 days following the assignment on all nonpaid balances. |
| Part VI, Line 2: | While the Community Health Needs Assessment is a formal means by which the health system assesses the needs of the community, there are many informal linkages that give the Covenant Health hospitals a sense of community issues and needs. Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center obtains additional community information thru the service of its employees with organizations including the Interfaith Health Clinic, local Chambers of Commerce and Rotary clubs, the Knoxville Area Coalition on Childhood Obesity, Knox Area Project Access, and the United Way of Greater Knoxville. |
| Part VI, Line 3: | Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center informs patients and other persons who may be billed for patient care about its financial assistance policies by posting signs in highly visible areas of the hospital and including information about the financial assistance policy in patient booklets provided to inpatients during the registration process.The following sign is posted in the main registration area, main lobby area and in the Emergency Department registration entrance: Financial Assistance: Covenant Health is committed to providing quality health services in a caring environment. It is the expressed philosophy of Covenant Health, and its member hospitals, that no one should be denied necessary medical care because of the inability to pay. In conjunction with this philosophy, staffs of Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center are available to assist you with your financial needs.

In addition, Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center assists with completion of a TennCare application and ensures the application is directed to the appropriate Department of Human Services.The Charity Care Policy states that patients who are unable to pay and have exhausted all sources of payment assistance may be screened for potential charity care eligibility. According to the policy, the financial counselor initiates screening of the patient and/or guarantor by obtaining income and other financial information to determine eligibility for charity care or discounted services. |
| Part VI, Line 4: | Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center is located in downtown Knoxville, Tennessee. Although located in metropolitan Knox County, Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center receives many specialty referrals from outlying hospitals and physicians and serves patients from 16 diverse counties, a mix of urban, suburban and rural. According to internal hospital data for 2014, more than 54% of the inpatients discharged were Knox County residents. Sevier County provides Fort Sanders Regional with the second highest number of admissions compared to other counties in the region, slightly more than 9% of the total.According to 2010 data of the U.S. Census Bureau, the collective population of the 16-county region is 1,176,033, of which 51.2% are female and 48.8% are male. The racial makeup of the population is 94% Caucasian, 4.6% black, and 1.4% other races. There are 22 hospitals in the 16-county area which, with one exception, are tax exempt. The average household income and percentage of the population with incomes below the federal poverty guideline within the 16 counties ranges from a low of $28,563 and 27% in Cocke County to a high of $47,277 and 13.7% in Knox County.According to the 2014 County Health Rankings Report by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation/ University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute, Knox County residents ranked 15 out of 95 Tennessee Counties in overall health. Knox County residents have the following health indicators that are at or above the national benchmarks: Knox - TN - National Adult Smoking: 19% - 23% - 14% Adult Obesity: 30% - 32% - 25% Excessive Drinking: 10% - 9% - 10% Teen Birthrate: 35 - 49 - 20 of every 1,000 teenage girls |
| Part VI, Line 5: | Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center (FSRMC), in conjunction with its parent company, Covenant Health, uses any available surplus of receipts over disbursements to expand and modernize the facility and to support the education of healthcare professionals, both of which serve to improve patient care and serve the unmet needs of the community.Covenant Health's Board of Directors serves as FSRMC's board. It is comprised of independent community leaders with diverse educational and professional backgrounds. The board sets policies and provides oversight of FSRMC.FSRMC maintains an open medical staff, with privileges available to all qualified physicians. Additionally, the hospital operates an active and accessible emergency department that accepts all patients regardless of ability to pay. |
| Part VI, Line 6: | Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, as a member of the Covenant Health system, benefits from the collaboration among all affiliated organizations to promote quality improvement, patient safety and efficient delivery of care for the communities served. As a system, Covenant assures that business processes are in place at each facility to measure and report quality, to increase the role of compliance, and to integrate risk management, utilization review, peer review, mandatory reporting and quality improvement into one cohesive function. In this way the system is able to use analytic tools to help identify any systemic inability to satisfy the various requirements on the part of the facilities. Fort Sanders Regional, as a regional referral hospital, provides a wide range of acute care services, many of which are unique in the Covenant system. These services are therefore more easily accessible by other affiliated hospitals and health care organizations through transfer or referral, helping to create a seamless continuum of care. The hospital, through its Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center division, is the only acute inpatient rehabilitation facility in the Covenant system and the largest such provider in the service area. Programming includes specialized services for stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury and other difficult patient populations with the primary goal of returning the patient home with the greatest gain in functional ability possible. Fort Sanders Regional also provides hospital-based skilled nursing care which serves as either a bridge back home or as an important step along the continuum of care to other long-term care resources. Fort Sanders Regional also provides other important services unique to the Covenant system including high risk obstetrical services and home infusion. Regional operates the Coumadin clinic, as well, which serves to educate another vulnerable population as well as to monitor the therapeutic effectiveness of this drug. These services are important to preventing unnecessary hospitalizations through the provision of effective community-based care. Fort Sanders Regional also provides other extensive outpatient services through its ambulatory infusion centers, physical therapy centers, a wound care center, and its cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation programs. Fort Sanders Regional's patients benefit from the availability of and ease of access to Covenant affiliated entities for services not provided by the hospital itself. Transfer or referral to such services is expedited and coordinated to help create a seamless continuum of care. A full range of community mental health and psychiatric hospital services are available within the system which help support the hospital's emergency room as well as provide an accessible and efficient pathway for those patients who require such services post discharge. Home health and hospice services are also an important part of the continuum of care for a large portion of the hospital's patient population. The Covenant Health system also enhances the patient's access to care through the provision of outpatient services in a variety of settings located throughout the service area.The Fort Sanders Foundation seeks out community support for Fort Sanders Regional and other Covenant Health hospitals through a variety of fund raising mechanisms. For example, the Fort Sanders Foundation helps to arrange sponsorship for significant fund raising activities of the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center division of the hospital including an annual golf tournament that has become the largest, single day fundraising event in the state of Tennessee. The proceeds of these events help fund needed equipment and facilities for the center as well as to provide access to the center's services for uninsured or underinsured individuals who are in need of intensive rehabilitation but may otherwise be denied such services due to the lack of resources. The Foundation also provides temporary residential services through the Fellowship Center for patients of the hospital and their families that travel to Knoxville to receive needed care but are unable to afford the costs involved.The Fort Sanders Nursing Department at Tennessee Wesleyan College is an important affiliate of Fort Sanders Regional. The school provides a baccalaureate nursing education, helping to alleviate a shortage of registered nurses to serve a growing and aging population. It is a continuation of a nursing education tradition of the hospital that began more than eighty years ago. The hospital provides a substantial financial contribution to support the program. Training qualified nursing professionals to serve the current or future needs of the community is an important hospital mission.Fort Sanders Regional is integrated with its community in a number of ways including its active participation in the development of a Fort Sanders Neighborhood District Long Range Plan. Fort Sanders is a densely populated urban neighborhood in the City of Knoxville. With its proximity to downtown and with the location of two regional referral hospitals (East Tennessee Children's Hospital being the other) and the flagship campus of the University of Tennessee in its boundaries, it provides an ideal location for convenient access for residents and as a gateway to visitors. With these assets, it is imperative that the city and neighborhood leaders work together in order to coordinate quality growth while maintaining the rich character and history that give Fort Sanders its unique identity.Through this combination of resources and the collective development, implementation and monitoring of clinical protocols and other improvement initiatives, the affiliated entities of Covenant Health are able to deliver higher quality care in a more efficient manner than could be achieved working independently. |

| Part I, Line 4b | Anthony L. Spezia was a participant in two nonqualified deferred compensation plans, which will be referred to as Plan A and Plan B. In 2011 Mr. Spezia vested in Plan A, and the accumulated balance as of August 1, 2011 was included in his 2011 taxable income. An Amendment to Plan A was adopted effective August 1, 2011 which terminated further accruals (contributions) to the plan. However, the Amendment does allow the accrual of interest on undistributed amounts which will be subject to risk of forfeiture until such time as indicated in the Amendment. Interest earned by Plan A in 2014 amounted to $83,726 and is not required to be reported in Part II, as Mr. Spezia is not substantially vested in earnings accumulated after July 31, 2011. Plan B was established in 2011. Employer contributions to Plan B during 2014 totaled $204,000, which is reported in Column C of Schedule J, Part II.

| Form 990, Part III, Line 1 | REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY Covenant Health is a comprehensive, community-owned health system dedicated to improving the health of the people it serves. Established in 1996 by the consolidation of Fort Sanders Health System, Knoxville, Tennessee, and MMC HealthCare System in Oak Ridge, Covenant Health is governed by a voluntary board of directors made up of community leaders and medical professionals. Covenant Health includes nine acute care hospitals in East Tennessee: Claiborne Medical Center Cumberland Medical Center Fort Loudoun Medical Center Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center LeConte Medical Center Methodist Medical Center Morristown-Hamblen Healthcare System Parkwest Medical Center Roane County Medical Center Member organizations also include: Covenant HomeCare Peninsula Hospital The Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center Thompson Cancer Survival Center Thompson Oncology Group Fortress Corporation Fort Sanders West Diagnostic Center Covenant Medical Group, Inc. Philanthropic affiliates include: Fort Sanders Foundation Methodist Medical Center Foundation Morristown-Hamblen Foundation Thompson Cancer Survival Center Foundation Approximately 10,000 people are employed by Covenant Health and its member organizations. Working together with nearly 1,500 affiliated physicians, these healthcare professionals deliver quality care to thousands of patients throughout East Tennessee. Kiosks for Patients' Convenience Covenant Health now has three types of kiosks available to help patients "check in" at registration, electronically sign documents, and to help family members find a patient's hospital location. The check-in kiosks are used over 5000 times per month by patients who sign in electronically, notifying registration staff of their arrival. A notable feature of the check-in kiosks is use of Covenant FastPass hand-scanning technology, which ensures positive patient identification and deters identity theft. Covenant also implemented electronic signature kiosks (eSign) at some facilities. These allow patients to review their personal and billing information and then sign registration paperwork on screen. The eSign service streamlines registration for patients with simple appointments and gives registration staff more time to spend with patients with more complex needs. For facility visitors, Covenant Wayfinding kiosks are used more than 2000 times per month to help family and friends locate patients being treated at Covenant facilities. A Legacy of Philanthropic Impact Since the first campaign of Fort Sanders Foundation to establish the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center (PNRC) in the late 1970s, the volunteer board members of Covenant Health's foundations have focused on raising funds to ensure the future of healthcare in its communities. The impact of the philanthropic efforts by individuals, businesses and foundations is substantial. Covenant's Office of Philanthropy coordinates fund raising efforts at four foundations: Fort Sanders Foundation, Methodist Medical Center Foundation, Morristown- Hamblen Hospital Foundation, and Thompson Cancer Survival Center Foundation. One strong example of philanthropic partnerships is the Will Rogers Institute and its 15-year history of support for the pulmonary rehabilitation programs of Covenant Health - in particular, the work of the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center. The Will Rogers Institute (WRI) is a national charitable organization dedicated to perpetuating the memory of one of America's best-loved entertainers. It supports cardiopulmonary research and treatment programs, neonatal care, and patient and community education on health/fitness topics. Each summer, movie theatres across the country participate in a fundraising campaign for WRI. Regal Entertainment Group, which supports the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center and its annual Golf Classic, helped develop the relationship between the Will Rogers Institute and Covenant Health many years ago. Over the past 15 years, WRI has granted more than $2 million to PNRC and the hospitals of Covenant Health. Grant funds support cardiopulmonary rehabilitation and health improvement initiatives at PNRC and other Covenant facilities, including a strong focus on smoking cessation and access to pulmonary rehabilitation care. Numerous pieces of therapy equipment, oxygen piping and monitoring systems, and pulmonary testing equipment have been provided for PRNC, the hospitals and outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation centers. The grant also funds a unique telemanagement program in which respiratory therapists make follow-up contact with all patients who have expressed an interest in smoking cessation while at a Covenant Health hospital. The therapists provide support, education and information on smoking cessation classes available in the area. At the end of 2014, the smoking cessation compliance rate for patients contacted by respiratory therapists via phone at 6 months post discharge stands at 41%. The grant also funded Covenant Health's development of a "Stop Smoking" app for Apple and Android phones. The app is offered free to the public as a tool to support efforts to break smoking addictions. The longstanding partnership with the Will Rogers Institute and Regal Entertainment Group has created a legacy for the future, not only for the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center and Covenant's pulmonary health initiatives, but for corporate and foundation funding of its health care mission throughout the region. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 1 | Leadership Academy Participants Get Insider View of Healthcare For the third year, a selected group of business and community leaders from across the region have experienced an in-depth view of Covenant Health and the healthcare environment as participants in Covenant Answers: A Healthcare Leadership Academy. The Office of Philanthropy hosts the Academy each year in an effort to expand the cadre of healthcare-informed volunteer leaders in the community. Over a five-month period, class members attended an orientation with Covenant executive leadership and half-day sessions at five different Covenant hospitals. The sessions included behind-the-scenes tours and hands-on access to the latest technologies and treatments. Participants had opportunities to discuss the challenges of the current healthcare environment with Covenant physicians and clinicians, communicate via a tele-stroke robot with a physician in another state and visit with a patient who received a life-saving interventional stroke treatment. They also observed a TAVR heart valve replacement surgery and a Barrett's esophagus cancer laser procedure. A Healthy Start for Covenant's Smallest Patients When parents are expecting a new baby, they may read books, buy new furniture and baby clothes, and consult family and friends. As families prepare for their new arrivals, Covenant Health hospitals are ready and waiting with a variety of birthing options and hospital amenities to help welcome their smallest patients. More than 7,000 babies got their first glimpse of life from the security and comfort of a Covenant Health hospital in 2014. Maternity suites at Covenant hospitals are designed to maximize comfort and provide immediate access to technology. Room options may include private suites equipped with bassinets for "rooming in" and comfortable sleeper furniture for a family member. All maternity units are secured with monitored entries and exits. Additional security devices and procedures are in place to monitor babies' safety. More than 50 credentialed physicians provide care to Covenant Health patients during pregnancy and while in the hospital. Childbirth education classes are available to help parents prepare for their new arrival. Best Practices for Babies' Healthy Start Five Covenant Health hospitals that offer obstetrics services were recognized by the Tennessee Hospital Association for reducing the number of babies born electively between 37 and 39 weeks gestation during 2011-2014. Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, Parkwest Medical Center, LeConte Medical Center, Methodist Medical Center and Morristown-Hamblen Healthcare System received recognition from THA's Tennessee Center for Patient Safety for reducing elective early deliveries, thereby increasing babies' chances for better lifelong health. The Covenant hospitals are part of a statewide Healthy Tennessee Babies Are Worth the Wait initiative to increase awareness of the benefits of full-term delivery. Babies born too early are at risk for respiratory distress, jaundice, hypoglycemia and other conditions that require more medical care and put them at greater risk for death before their first birthdays. Waiting until 39 weeks allows for better growth and development of vital organs and is also better for the health and safety of the mother. In addition to patient and staff education programs, Covenant Health obstetrics departments adopted a policy prohibiting early elective deliveries before 39 weeks unless there is a clear medical risk to the mother or the baby. For an infant, two additional weeks can mean the difference between complications leading to lifelong health issues and a healthy and robust start. In 2011 about 12 percent of the hospitals' deliveries that occurred prior to 39 weeks gestation were considered elective. By second quarter of 2015, the number had dropped to zero. Covenant hospitals with obstetrical services also collaborate with the Tennessee Department of Health's Safe Sleep program. Participating hospitals have agreed to develop and implement hospital safe sleep policies and provide education to staff and patients regarding safe sleep recommendations. LeConte Medical Center has received a bronze designation from the National Safe Sleep Hospital Certification Program for its leadership in best practices and education related to safe sleep. Covenant hospitals are also involved with the Tennessee Initiative for Perinatal Quality Care's breastfeeding project, which focuses on promoting and supporting breastfeeding in the delivery setting and after mothers return home. Caring for Women Throughout Their Lives Covenant Health provides a full spectrum of health services for women of all ages. The health system's nine breast centers, located conveniently throughout Covenant's service area, offer state-of-the-art digital mammography. Two locations, Parkwest Medical Center and Morristown-Hamblen Healthcare System, provide 3D mammography services. Covenant Health has additional technologies for the early detection of breast cancer, including breast ultrasound and MRI. The health system provides comprehensive heart and stroke care for women, and has developed educational and outreach programs to inform women about cardiovascular disease, risk factors, prevention, treatment and rehabilitation. A full range of diagnostic screenings, gynecological care, cancer care, and specialized treatment for conditions such as incontinence are offered to women in all ages and stages of life. A Heart for Excellence Covenant Health is committed to excellence in all areas of heart care - from heart disease prevention and diagnosis of heart conditions to advanced technology and treatments, emergency interventions, and cardiac rehabilitation programs for follow-up care. More than 50 affiliated cardiologists provide diagnostic testing and perform a variety of interventional procedures such as heart catheterization and techniques to clear blocked arteries and place stents to restore blood flow. Cardiologists also treat heart arrhythmias and often repair heart valves and holes in the chambers of the heart. Advanced Technology Keeps More Hearts Beating Covenant Health is at the forefront of cardiac innovations that restore health and the ability to live life to the fullest. Covenant was the first health system in the region to offer Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), in which a minimally invasive procedure places a new valve into the heart. The procedure gives new hope to patients suffering from life-threatening aortic stenosis who are not candidates for open-heart surgery. In addition to TAVR, a full spectrum of advanced cardiac procedures is available at Covenant Health's "heart hospitals" - Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, Methodist Medical Center of Oak Ridge and Parkwest Medical Center. For patients experiencing severe coronary disease like blocked arteries and aortic enlargement, care close to home may seem like a distant hope. Covenant's cardiac services offer complex surgeries and treatments that are often only available in larger cities. When Minutes Matter If a heart attack occurs, time is critical. The heart hospitals of Covenant Health work together to make sure that patients receive the most appropriate care as quickly as possible. The American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association have established recommended care standards for heart attack patients, specifically those identified as the "ST-Segment Elevation MI" (STEMI) population. These patients have the highest mortality (risk of death) and morbidity (risk of associated complications). They can be rapidly identified with an electrocardiogram (EKG). The standards emphasize organizing regional systems of care and patient transfer procedures to provide faster access to advanced therapies that help facilitate rapid restoration of blood flow during a heart attack. The care team - from first responders and emergency departments to cardiologists and cath lab staff - collaborate to provide efficient and effective care. They evaluate the entire process and collaborate with anyone who has contact with this patient population to develop a standardized approach to efficiently get them to a cath lab. Every 30 minutes results in nearly an eight percent increase in risk of death, so patient outcomes can be improved by having a systems approach to identification, notification, and rapid transfer. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 1 | Several new Cardiac processes have been developed, including: * Training EMS providers to identify STEMI patients quickly, and building relationships with emergency transporters to ensure efficient arrival at a center equipped to deal with STEMI patients. * Clinical members of Covenant Rapid Access, Covenant Health's patient transfer center, are available 24/7 to accept STEMI patients from outlying hospitals and immediately notify the cath lab team and interventional cardiologist. "Rapid Access" is the coordinating center for Covenant facilities. * Emergency transporters can now simultaneously notify both ED and cath lab teams of potential STEMI patients and transmit an EKG when available. This allows earlier activation of the cath lab team, with personnel available immediately when the patient arrives. * A regular review process provides feedback on outcomes and helps continually improve systems and processes. As a result of these efforts, Fort Sanders Regional has exceeded state and national hospitals' performance in meeting standards for "First Medical Contact-to-Device" times. Mortality and readmission rates also declined. The STEMI team collaborates with hospitals and emergency responders in Claiborne, Sevier, and Jefferson counties, and as far away as Kentucky. Cardiac Rehab Helps Pave the Road to Recovery The weeks immediately following a heart attack, angioplasty, or open heart surgery are critical for long-range rehabilitation. Several Covenant hospitals offer medically supervised Cardio-Pulmonary Rehabilitation programs that safely restore physical fitness and function for people who have recently had serious cardiac events. Through monitored exercise, education, counseling and healthy lifestyle changes, patients regain confidence in exercising their hearts, and they learn to make lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of further complications from heart disease. Cardiac rehabilitation offers effective treatment for heart attack, angina, post-infarction, angioplasty, post-coronary bypass, and patients considered to be high risk for coronary artery disease. The Region's Only Stroke Hospital Network Covenant Health has the region's only stroke hospital network for delivering advanced diagnostics and treatment to halt the devastating effects of stroke. At the hub of the network are Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, certified as a comprehensive stroke center by The Joint Commission, and the award-winning Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center, accredited by the Commission on the Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities. Covenant Health's stroke hospital network offers advanced treatments and clinical trials that are unavailable in other areas of the region. Delivering Immediate and Excellent Care When a stroke happens, timely treatment is critical. The Comprehensive Stroke Center at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center is well above the national average in delivering prompt treatment of life-saving medication. Clot-busting drugs are given to stroke patients to improve blood flow and minimize potential disabilities. The amount of time it takes for a patient to be brought into a hospital until the moment medications are intravenously administered is referred to as "door-to-needle time." The average door-to-needle time is a little more than an hour; the door-to-needle time at Fort Sanders Regional is 30 minutes, half an hour faster than the national average. The stroke center exists to provide the highest level of stroke care for complicated stroke cases, which includes finding out why the stroke occurred to prevent it from happening again. The Comprehensive Stroke Center at Fort Sanders Regional sees patients from throughout East Tennessee and beyond. To help patients reclaim as much ability and independence as possible, the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center provides inpatient and outpatient stroke care. Patients are treated by a holistic team that includes physiatrists (rehab physicians); physical, occupational and speech therapists; rehab psychologists; case managers and recreation therapists. Treatment includes goal setting and interdisciplinary in range of motion, strengthening and conditioning, along with self-care and activities of daily living. Leading the Fight Against Cancer Even though cancer affects many thousands of people, a cancer diagnosis can be a lonely experience. Covenant Health is committed to helping cancer patients fight the disease with excellent medical care and a multidisciplinary team of support. At the core of Covenant Health's cancer care is an elite team of physicians, armed with the most advanced cancer tools available. Technology includes advanced imaging such as positron emission technology (PET) in Knoxville and mobile PET services in Sevierville, TomoTherapy, high-dose-rate brachytherapy and 3D radiation therapy. Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center offers Gamma Knife, the area's only non-invasive radiosurgical device that targets tumors in a single visit. A variety of clinical trials, stem cell transplantation and genetic counseling are also available. The health system recently invested $7.6 million for equipment upgrades, expanded connectivity and growth of a highly regarded radiation therapy research program at six locations: Thompson Cancer Survival Centers in downtown and west Knoxville, Oak Ridge and Sevierville, at Morristown-Hamblen Hospital System, and at Cumberland Medical Center's radiation oncology program in Crossville. Patients receiving cancer care at Covenant Health facilities receive individualized treatment plans, and have a multidisciplinary team of specialists and "navigators" to help with the treatment process. Support is also provided by social workers, nutrition counselors, and other members of the cancer care team. Thompson Oncology Group has 10 physician offices in Sevierville, Knoxville, Blount County, Morristown and Oak Ridge. The group has been recognized by the Quality Oncology Practice Initiative Certification Program, an affiliate of the American Society of Clinical Oncology. The certification process includes each of the 10 Thompson Oncology Group locations and encompasses evaluation of treatment planning, staff training, patient education and safe chemotherapy administration. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 1 | Connecting with Our Communities In addition to taking care of patients and families who receive direct services, Covenant Health is committed to making a positive impact in the health of the surrounding community. In all the communities Covenant Health serves, local initiatives and partnerships create opportunities to interact with people of all ages and encourage healthier lifestyles. * In April 2014 nearly 8,000 people participated in the 11th Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon, which attracted local runners and hand cyclists, as well as competitors from throughout the U.S. and other countries. Marathon events included 2- and 4-person relays, a 5K, half-marathon and full marathon. * The Covenant Health Biggest Winner Weight Loss Challenge continued as a friendly competition that encourages East Tennesseans to get moving for a fit and healthy lifestyle. Team members train together for five months, with the goal of crossing the finish line in Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon events, and challenge other East Tennesseans to start a health journey that will change their lives for the better. * Some of the funds raised through the Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon were contributed to Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center's Innovative Recreation Cooperative. More than $5,000 was given to the Cooperative, a collaboration of groups and individuals who help disabled persons enjoy leisure and recreation activities such as water skiing and cycling. * The Covenant Kids Run attracted nearly 1,000 children who participated in a "marathon of activities" over a period of several weeks, culminating in a run to Neyland Stadium on the day before the Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon. * Covenant HomeCare Hospice helps children grieving the loss of a loved one through Katerpillar Kids Camp, a free event offered with the support of Variety - The Children's Charity. The camp helps children in grades 1-12 express their feelings of loss in a supportive environment. * Methodist Medical Center co-sponsored the annual Baby's Best Fest, a day of family games and an ice cream social celebrating World Breastfeeding Month and supporting breastfeeding as the healthiest start for babies. * LeConte Medical Center partnered with Dollywood's Splash Country to host Water Safety Day. The event provided health and safety information to local children and families, and was held in conjunction with the "World's Largest Swimming Lesson," a national event promoting the importance of learning to swim. At the event LeConte employees educated children about water safety, representatives from Thompson Cancer Survival Center talked about the importance of sunscreen, and staff from the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center were on hand to talk about the Think First head injury prevention program and adaptive water sports. More than 600 children participated. * Cumberland Medical Center in Crossville co-sponsored numerous health fairs and community events throughout the year, and hosted free Mammogram Days for women who had not received a mammogram in two years and were age 40 or older without insurance coverage. * Missy Kane, health promotions coordinator for Covenant Health, led hikes in communities where Covenant Health hospitals are located and established walking clubs in Roane and Anderson counties in conjunction with Roane Medical Center and Methodist Medical Center. Parkwest Medical Center, LeConte Medical Center and Thompson Cancer Survival Center have been co-sponsors of hiking programs led by Missy Kane. |

Management then reviews in detail each of the Form 990 schedules and describes variances between entities, if any. The remaining thirteen Forms are made available for review by any committee member. The same presentation is made to the Covenant Health Board of Directors at the October meeting. All fourteen Forms 990 are then made available to all Board members for their review throughout the month of October. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | Board members, officers and employees are required to adhere to rules and policies regarding conflicts of interest. Covenant Health, the parent company of the organization, distributes a board-approved Code of Conduct to all employees. The Code covers among other subjects, conflicts of interest. Additionally, managers are required to complete and sign an annual management certification that addresses conflicts of interest. Board members' conflicts of interests are dealt with in the corporate bylaws, and board members are required to complete and sign a conflict of interest questionnaire on an annual basis. The Integrity Compliance Office maintains records that contain conflict of interest information obtained from board members, officers and employees. These records are available to be queried prior to engaging in business transactions. The Integrity Compliance Officer initially reviews all conflict of interest data. Based on this information, the officer determines what conflicts of interest exist at that point in time. Between times when surveys are collected board members are expected to disclose any new conflicts that have arisen that affect pending board decisions. As well, managers and other employees are expected to report conflicts to the Integrity Compliance Officer as they arise. Depending on the nature of the conflict and the circumstances surrounding the conflict and transaction, the Integrity Compliance Officer, Senior Leadership, or the Board of Directors may review the conflict of interest. Where appropriate these bodies may also consult legal counsel. Restrictions imposed on persons with a conflict of interest are determined on a case by case basis. For Covenant Health employees, the Integrity Compliance Officer in conjunction with Executive Leadership determines how to appropriately handle the conflict. In any conflict involving a board member, such member is expected to excuse himself or herself from voting on matters that give rise to the conflict. |
