Form And Line Reference	Part V, Section B	FormAndLineReferenceDesc
Explanation	The Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) was conducted from September 2012 to June 2013. The purpose of the assessment was to gather information about local health needs and health behaviors. The Cooper Board of Trustees met on December 19, 2013 to review the findings of the CHNA and the recommended implementation strategy. The board voted to adopt the final summary report and the implementation strategy and provide the necessary resources and support to carry out the initiatives therein. Question 5: The Camden, Burlington, and Gloucester County Health Departments participated in the design and completion of Cooper's Community Health Needs Assessment, including meetings to identify and prioritize health needs. In addition, Cooper performed the following: (1) A survey of "key informants". Key informants were defined as community stakeholders with expert knowledge including public health and health care professionals, social service providers, non-profit leaders, business leaders, faith-based organizations, and other area authorities. An on-line survey tool gathered qualitative feedback from 113 key informants regarding perceptions of community needs and strengths across 3 key domains: - key health issues - health care access - challenges and solutions (2) A household telephone survey was conducted with 575 randomly-selected community residents. It assessed health status, health risk behaviors, preventive health practices, and health care access primarily related to chronic disease and injury. (3) Two focus group were created and held with twenty-two community members and data collection sessions were conducted at four locations in Camden City to ensure broad participation from diverse groups including members of medically underserved, low income and minority populations. 165 Camden City residents took an abbreviated version of the household telephone survey tool and responses were collected through wireless keypad technology. Question 6: The Tri-County (Burlington, Camden, and Gloucester Counties) Health Assessment Collaborative included the following partners: Cooper University Health Care, Kennedy Health System, Lourdes Health System, Inspira Medical Center-Woodbury, Virtua Health, and the Health Departments of Burlington, Camden and Gloucester Counties. Question 11: Rationale for community health needs not specifically addressed: Cooper recognizes that partnerships with community agencies have the broadest reach to improve community health issues. Cooper will not have a specific focus on the following need: Overweight/Obesity. Cooper will work to address overweight and obesity through the strategies within access to care and chronic disease management by offering supportive programs promoting nutrition and an increase in physical activity through the hospital and primary care physicians. The need is also better addressed by primary care physicians, community organizations and schools and Cooper will support and collaborate with these groups in efforts to address this need.

PART I, LINE 3C	ELIGIBILITY FOR DISCOUNTED CARE: 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 poverty guidelines (Department of Health and Senior Services). Federal Poverty Guidelines ("FPG") are included in the criteria for determining eligibility for charity and discounted care.
PART I, LINE 7G	FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND CERTAIN OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS AT COST: NO COSTS RELATING TO SUBSIDIZED HEALTHCARE SERVICES ARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO ANY PHYSICIAN CLINICS.
PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN F	PERCENT OF TOTAL EXPENSES: 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 $70,002,218.
PART II	COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES: THE HEALTH OF THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES IS OF COOPER'S UTMOST CONCERN. FROM HEALTHCARE PROGRAMS FOR THE COMMUNITY TO EDUCATIONAL AND EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS, COOPER STRIVES TO BE A RESPONSIBLE, INVOLVED COMMUNITY ADVOCATE. PLEASE SEE SCHEDULE O FOR THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STATEMENT.
PART III, SECTION A, LINE 2 & LINE 4	BAD DEBT EXPENSE: BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS CALCULATED USING THE PROVIDERS' BAD DEBT EXPENSE FROM FINANCIAL STATEMENT, NET OF ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AT CHARGES. COOPER HEALTH SYSTEM PREPARES AND ISSUES AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE ATTACHED TEXT WAS OBTAINED FROM THE FOOTNOTES TO THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE COOPER HEALTH SYSTEM - OBLIGATED GROUP. THE HEALTH SYSTEM PROVIDES CARE TO THOSE WHO MEET THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY PUBLIC LAW 1992 (CHAPTER 160) CHARITY CARE CRITERIA. CHARITY CARE IS PROVIDED WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ITS ESTABLISHED CHARGES. THE HEALTH SYSTEM MAINTAINS RECORDS TO IDENTIFY AND MONITOR THE LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE IT PROVIDES. THE COST OF SERVICES PROVIDED AND SUPPLIES FURNISHED UNDER ITS CHARITY CARE POLICY IS ESTIMATED USING INTERNAL COST DATA AND IS CALCULATED BASED ON THE HEALTH SYSTEMS COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM. THE TOTAL DIRECT AND INDIRECT AMOUNT OF CHARITY CARE PROVIDED, DETERMINED ON THE BASIS OF COST, WAS $36,650,000 AND $62,073,000 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013, RESPECTIVELY. THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S PATIENT ACCEPTANCE POLICY IS BASED UPON ITS MISSION STATEMENT AND ITS CHARITABLE PURPOSES. ACCORDINGLY, THE HEALTH SYSTEM ACCEPTS ALL PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. THIS POLICY RESULTS IN THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S ASSUMPTION OF HIGHER-THAN-NORMAL PATIENT RECEIVABLE CREDIT RISKS. TO THE EXTENT THAT THE HEALTH SYSTEM REALIZES ADDITIONAL LOSSES RESULTING FROM SUCH HIGHER CREDIT RISKS AND PATIENTS THAT ARE NOT IDENTIFIED OR DO NOT MEET THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S DEFINED CHARITY CARE POLICY, SUCH ADDITIONAL LOSSES ARE INCLUDED IN THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS. CHAPTER 160 ESTABLISHED THE CHARITY CARE SUBSIDY FUND AND THE HOSPITAL RELIEF SUBSIDY FUND TO PROVIDE A MECHANISM AND FUNDING SOURCE TO COMPENSATE CERTAIN HOSPITALS FOR CHARITY CARE. THE HEALTH SYSTEM RECORDED THE FOLLOWING AMOUNTS FROM THE FUNDS AS NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. THE AMOUNTS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE FROM YEAR TO YEAR BASED ON AVAILABLE STATE BUDGET AMOUNTS AND ALLOCATION METHODOLOGIES. A PROPORTIONATE AMOUNT IS IN PLACE THROUGH JUNE 2015. WHILE AMOUNTS ARE NOT FINALIZED FOR THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY'S FISCAL 2016 BUDGET, IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT FUNDING WILL BE SLIGHTLY REDUCED.
PART III, SECTION B, LINE 8	Medicare costs were derived from the 2014 Medicare Cost Report. Medicare underpayments (shortfall) and bad debt are community benefit and associated costs, in our opinion, should be includable on the 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 the organization'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, religion or ability to pay and consistent with the community benefit standard promulated by the 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) section 501(c)(3). The organization is recognized as a tax-exempt entity and charitable organization under IRC section 501(c)(3). Although there is no definition in the tax code 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 IRC section 501(c)(3) in its generally accepted legal sense," and provides examples of charitable purposes, including the relief of the indigent or unprivileged; 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 section 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.
PART III, SECTION C, LINE 9B	COLLECTION PRACTICES: THE ORGANIZATION EXPECTS PAYMENT AT THE TIME THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED. OUR POLICY IS TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT AS WELL AS IRC SECTION 501(R). EMERGENCY SERVICES WILL BE PROVIDED TO ALL PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE FOR PATIENTS BASED ON FINANCIAL NEED AS DEFINED IN THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE ON THE BASIS OF AGE, RACE, CREED, SEX, OR ABILITY TO PAY. PATIENTS WHO ARE UNABLE TO PAY MAY REQUEST A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO SERVICE OR DURING THE BILLING AND COLLECTION PROCESS. THE ORGANIZATION MAY REQUEST THE PATIENT TO APPLY FOR MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PRIOR TO APPLYING FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE ACCOUNT WILL NOT BE FORWARDED FOR COLLECTION DURING THE MEDICAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION PROCESS OR THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION PROCESS.

Business Transactions with Interested Persons	Schedule L, Part IV With regard to conflicts of members of the board of trustees, the board policy on duality and conflict of interest requires trustees to disclose all relationships that may cause a conflict. The audit/ethics & compliance committee of the board of trustees reviews transactions that may involve a conflict of interest of an officer, director, trustee, or key employee. These procedures are designed to provide for independent review of the transaction, determination of the availability of alternative transactions that do not pose a conflict of interest, and preservation of the organization's best interests in transactions where non-conflicting alternatives are not reasonably attainable. The audit/ethics & compliance committee makes a recommendation to the board of trustees with regard to such transactions, which then makes a determination whether the transaction is in the organization's best interest, whether the transaction is fair and reasonable and whether there is a legitimate business interest for such transaction. Any trustee with a conflict of interest with regard to such matter may not vote on such transaction.
Business Transactions with Interested Persons	Schedule L, Part IV Footnote # 1: Although Mr. Norcross' business transaction with Cooper Health System is not required to be disclosed under the new definition for interested person, Mr. Norcross wishes to voluntarily provide this information.

It should be additionally noted that Cooper's relationship with Conner Strong & Buckelew and its predecessors extends back approximately twenty five years and predates Mr. Norcross' board membership. Mr. Norcross is not personally involved either in the procurement, performance or supervision of any services rendered by Conner Strong & Buckelew to Cooper. The Conner Strong & Buckelew relationship has been annually reviewed by Cooper's independent audit/ethics & compliance committee and consulting and brokerage services have been periodically subjected to a competitive bidding process. process.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 11B	Form 990 Review Process: As part of the tax return preparation process, the organization hired a professional CPA firm with experience and expertise in both healthcare and not-for-profit tax return preparation to prepare the Federal Form 990. The CPA firm's tax professionals worked closely with the organization's finance personnel and other senior management members of the organization and the system to obtain the information needed in order to prepare a complete and accurate tax return. The CPA firm prepared a draft Federal Form 990 and furnished it to the organization's finance personnel and other senior management members for their review. The organization's finance personnel and other senior management members reviewed the draft Federal Form 990 and discussed questions and comments with the CPA firm. Revisions were made to the draft Federal Form 990 where necessary and a final draft was furnished by the CPA firm to the organization's finance personnel and other senior management members for further review and approval. The Form 990 is then presented to and reviewed by the members of the Cooper Health System Audit/Ethics & Compliance Committee of the Board of Trustees. The Bylaws of the Board of Trustees provide that this Committee of the Board review the annual Federal Tax Return prior to its filing.

COMMunity benefit statement (continued)	COMMUNITY BENEFIT STATEMENT 1) Background Cooper University Hospital, founded in 1887, is the clinical campus of Cooper Medical School of Rowan University, and the leading provider of health services to southern New Jersey. Cooper has been a vital institution in Camden for 127 years. In the past decade, Cooper has greatly expanded its facilities and services in Camden and throughout South Jersey. The Cooper network currently serves more than half a million patients a year. Cooper's main hospital campus is located on the Health Sciences Campus in Camden, New Jersey. Adjacent to the Cooper Plaza/Lanning Square neighborhood, Cooper has a long history of outreach and service efforts to its local community. Some of these initiatives include health and wellness programs for the neighborhood, development of three neighborhood parks and playground, and outreach to programs in local schools. Cooper has also expanded its footprint in the city with the construction of a state-of-the-art medical tower and a new Cancer Center, creation of a new medical school, and efforts to rehabilitate nearby residential properties. Cooper University Hospital has over 6,600 employees and a medical staff of over 700 physicians in over 75 specialties. The health system has been the clinical campus of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey - Robert Wood Johnson Medical School at Camden since 1978 and is now training the next generation of physicians at our new Cooper Medical School of Rowan University. Cooper offers training programs for medical students, residents, fellows, nurses and allied health professionals in a variety of specialties. Cooper University Hospital offers a network of comprehensive services that include prevention and wellness, primary and specialty physician services, hospital care, ambulatory diagnostic and treatment services, and education and support services within southern New Jersey and the entire Delaware Valley. Coupled with its educational goals, Cooper offers a broad agenda in the field of research. Cooper physicians are involved in ongoing research and development as they keep abreast of changing modalities of medical care. As an academic medical center, Cooper continuously attempts to improve patient's quality of life through the research efforts of its medical staff. Cooper University Health Care takes pride in its ability to offer a comprehensive array of diagnostic and treatment services. The hospital serves as southern New Jersey's major tertiary-care referral hospital for specialized services. These signature programs include: Level I Southern New Jersey Regional Trauma Center; the MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper, the Cooper Heart Institute, the Cooper Bone & Joint Institute, the Cooper Neurological Institute and Critical Care. Cooper is also home to The Children's Regional Hospital, the only state-designated children's hospital in South Jersey. The MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper opened in 2013 at the corner of Haddon Avenue and Martin Luther King Boulevard. This freestanding 103,000 square foot facility provides integrated diagnosis, treatment and cancer care. Cooper entered into an affiliation with MD Anderson to offer the most advanced cancer care to patients in South Jersey and the Delaware Valley. 2) Charitable Purposes, Charity Care and Community Activities Cooper is recognized by the IRS as an internal revenue code section 501(c) (3) tax-exempt organization. Moreover, Cooper operates consistently with the following criteria outlined in IRS revenue ruling 69-545: a) Cooper provides medically necessary health care services to all individuals regardless of ability to pay - including charity care, self-pay, Medicare and Medicaid patients. b) Cooper operates an active emergency room for all persons, which is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days per year. c) Cooper maintains an open medical staff, with privileges in most services available to all qualified physicians. d) Cooper is governed by its Board of Trustees which is comprised of independent civic leaders and other prominent members of the community. As demonstrated by the above IRS criteria, as well as other information contained herein, the use and control of Cooper is for the benefit of the public and no part of the income or net earnings of the organization inures to the benefit of any private individual nor is any private interest being served other than incidentally. Cooper is guided by the belief that it is dedicated to the health care needs of the communities that it serves. That level of determination and commitment is the very soul of Cooper. Cooper provides health care services to all persons in a non-discriminatory manner regardless of race, color, creed, sex, national origins or ability to pay. Moreover, Cooper provides health care services to patients who meet certain criteria under its charity care policy in compliance with the New Jersey state attorney general without charge or at amounts less than established rates. Cooper maintains records to identify and monitor the amount of charity care it provides. These records include the amount of charges foregone for services and supplies furnished under its charity care policy. Additionally, as outlined herein, Cooper sponsors other charitable programs, which provide substantial benefit to the broader community. Such programs include services to the needy and elderly population that require special support, various clinical outreach programs as well as health promotion and education for the general community welfare

Translation services for patients - Cooper provides translation services for patients whose first language is not English 6. Camden Coalition of Healthcare Providers - Cooper provides significant support to this organization which was created as an opportunity for providers to network and discuss the common issues they face in running medical practices in Camden and providing care in a poor, urban environment. Camden Citywide Care Management Project In September 2007, the Coalition began implementation of a Citywide Care Management Project to reach out to high utilizers of city emergency rooms and hospitals. A part-time nurse practitioner, community health worker, and a full-time social worker staff the project. Patients are enrolled to the project by referral from emergency department physicians, inpatient physicians, and social workers. The project provides "transitional" primary care with a goal of moving the patients into a primary care setting that can meet their needs. With over sixty patients enrolled in our project; we are visiting them in homeless shelters, abandoned homes, hospital rooms, ED gurneys, and street corners. Practice Capacity Building Project The Coalition's philosophy is that by increasing capacity within local primary care offices we can help them achieve higher patient satisfaction, improved economic viability, and better health outcomes. Monthly roundtable meetings and seminars have been held for local office managers and providers to encourage peer-to-peer linkages, increase skills and knowledge of modern medical office management techniques and educate in specific practice management topics. Participation in this group leads to on-site consultation for individual offices, focusing on process flows, operations management, analyzing cycle times, and information management. Expansion of Access to Mental Health Care Psychiatry services are extremely difficult to access in underserved communities. The Coalition is developing a system of joint primary care/psychiatry appointments to increase a primary care provider's capacity to provide mental health care. The psychiatrist will provide mentoring, coaching and consultation to the primary provider. Palliative Care Program The Palliative Care Program is designed to be integrated as part of a patient's care plan at any time, to manage symptoms related to treatment such as chemotherapy, or for symptoms that linger or appear after treatment is complete. Palliative care is the comprehensive treatment of the discomfort, symptoms and stress of serious illness. It does not replace a patient's primary treatment, but works together with treatment at any point in a patient's care. Palliative care also addresses psychological, social and spiritual concerns - all to achieve the best quality of life possible for each patient. At Cooper, the Palliative Care Program can help patients manage the common side effects of illness such as: pain, fatigue, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, depression and anxiety, difficulty breathing, loss of appetite and weight loss, weakness, sleep problems, confusion and end-of-life care. Research-clinical and community health The Cooper Research Institute, established in January 2003, coordinates clinical trials and supports researchers at Cooper. Through basic and clinical research, faculty at Cooper is bringing scientific discoveries to life and providing thousands of patients in South Jersey with access to cutting-edge treatments in fields such as cancer, cardiology, critical care, diabetes, and gene therapy. Cooper faculty members currently conduct approximately 340 NIH and industry-sponsored clinical trials each year. Many of these studies are only available in South Jersey at Cooper. By participating in a clinical trial, an individual may have the first chance to benefit from improved treatment methods and the opportunity to make an important contribution to medical science. Past research by Cooper faculty has led to new standards of care and novel therapies in fields such as cancer, cardiology, surgery, and orthopedics. For example, Cooper faculty members have conducted studies that led to: new cancer treatments such as Rituxan for lymphoma, Iressa for advanced non-small cell lung cancer, Tamoxifen to prevent breast cancer, and Cisplatin plus radiation therapy for cervical cancer. Among other medical advances credited to the Cooper Research Institute are: Cash in kind contributions to community groups Cooper sponsors various non-profit organizations to promote and build a healthy community.
