| PART I, LINE 3C: | IN ADDITION TO THE FPG THRESHOLDS, NORTHSIDE'S POLICY ALLOWS FOR MEDICAL INDIGENCY AS WELL AS AN ASSET TEST FOR ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITY TO QUALIFY FOR CHARITY. AN APPLICATION IS COMPLETED BY THE PATIENT AND/OR A SCORING METHODOLOGY IS GATHERED FROM A THIRD PARTY USING IT'S PROPRIETORY SOURCE TO DETERMINE PROPENSITY TO PAY. THESE TOOLS ARE USED TO DETERMINE SOMEONE'S QUALIFICATIONS FOR A CHARITY DISCOUNT OR FREE CARE IN ADDITION TO THE FPG THRESHOLDS STATED ABOVE. |
| PART I, LINE 6A: | NORTHSIDE HOSPITAL, INC. PREPARES AN ANNUAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT. THE REPORT IS MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. |
| PART I, LINE 7: | THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED IN DETERMINING THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON LINE 7 IS THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO CALCULATED PURSUANT TO THE IRS SCHEDULE H WORKSHEET 2 INSTRUCTIONS. |
| PART I, LN 7 COL(F): | BAD DEBT EXPENSE IN THE AMOUNT OF $78,276,910 HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM TOTAL EXPENSE TO COMPUTE THE PERCENTAGE IN COLUMN (F). |
| PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES: | BIANNUALLY, NORTHSIDE HOSPITAL, INC. ("NORTHSIDE") CONDUCTS A COMMUNITY-BASED PHYSICIAN NEED ANALYSIS FOR NORTHSIDE HOSPITAL-CHEROKEE ("NHC") AND NORTHSIDE HOSPITAL-FORSYTH ("NHF"). NHC AND NHF EACH ARE SOLE COUNTY PROVIDERS AND AS SUCH MUST ENSURE THAT APPROPRIATE MEDICAL SERVICES ARE ACCESSIBLE TO THE RESIDENTS OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED. EACH HOSPITAL'S PHYSICIAN NEED ANALYSIS DEFINES A GEOGRAPHIC AREA COMPLIANT WITH THE FEDERAL PHYSICIAN SELF-REFERRAL LAW, IDENTIFIES NHC AND NHF MEDICAL STAFF MEMBERS WITH AN OFFICE IN THE DEFINED GEOGRAPHIC AREA, IDENTIFIES NON-NORTHSIDE PHYSICIANS WITH AN OFFICE IN THE DEFINED GEOGRAPHIC AREA, AND INCLUDES A QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF EACH COMMUNITY'S PHYSICIAN NEED ("COMMUNITY PHYSICIAN NEED"). BASED ON THE FINDINGS OF THE ANALYSES, NORTHSIDE ENGAGES IN RECRUITMENT EFFORTS DESIGNED TO ENSURE THAT SUFFICIENT QUALIFIED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS ARE AVAILABLE TO MEET THE IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY PHYSICIAN NEED. THROUGH THESE ANALYSES, NORTHSIDE HAS IDENTIFIED A DEFINED NUMERIC NEED FOR ONE-HALF PHYSICIAN FTE OR MORE IN TWENTY-SEVEN SPECIALTIES IN NHC'S STARK-COMPLIANT GEOGRAPHIC AREA AND A NEED FOR ONE-HALF PHYSICIAN FTE OR MORE IN THIRTY SPECIALTIES IN NHFS STARK-COMPLIANT GEOGRAPHIC AREA. BOTH NHC AND NHF ARE CONCENTRATING RECRUITMENT EFFORTS ON PRIMARY CARE AND SURGICAL SPECIALTIES WITH AN EMPHASIS ON RECRUITING NEEDED PHYSICIANS INTO FORSYTH, DAWSON, PICKENS, AND CHEROKEE COUNTIES TO MEET THE IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY PHYSICIAN NEED. |
| PART III, LINE 4: | "NORTHSIDE PROVIDES FOR ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE THAT COULD BECOME UNCOLLECTIBLE IN THE FUTURE BY ESTABLISHING AN ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS TO REDUCE THE CARRYING VALUE OF SUCH RECEIVABLES TO THEIR ESTIMATED NET REALIZABLE VALUE. NORTHSIDE ESTIMATES THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS BASED ON HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED COLLECTIONS, ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AGINGS, TRENDS IN REIMBURSEMENT, GENERAL BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS." THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED IN DETERMINING THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON LINES 2 AND 3 WAS A COST TO CHARGE RATIO APPLIED TO BAD DEBT CHARGES WRITTEN OFF, NET OF RECOVERIES. NORTHSIDE HOSPITAL PROVIDES CARE TO THE COMMUNITY, REGARDLESS OF PATIENTS' ABILITY TO PAY. THE FORGONE CHARGES ARE AT THE EXPENSE OF NORTHSIDE HOSPITAL. |
| PART III, LINE 8: | THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED IN DETERMINING THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON LINE 6 WAS A COST TO CHARGE RATIO FROM THE FISCAL YEAR 2014 MEDICARE COST REPORT APPLIED TO MEDICARE CHARGES. THE MEDICARE PROGRAM PAYS AT AMOUNTS WHICH ARE LESS THAN THE COST OF PROVIDING SERVICES. ANY COST NOT REIMBURSED BY MEDICARE IS BORNE BY NORTHSIDE HOSPITAL WHICH EASES THE BURDEN TO THE GOVERNMENT FOR THE PROVISION OF HEALTH CARE UNDER THE MEDICARE PROGRAM. |
| PART III, LINE 9B: | THE COLLECTION POLICY IS SPECIFIC TO THE TIMING AND PROTOCOLS FOLLOWED IN THE DEBT COLLECTION PROCESS. HOWEVER THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY SUPERCEDES THE DEBT COLLECTION POLICY IN ANY SITUATION WHERE A PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. |
| PART VI, LINE 2: | THE NORTHSIDE HOSPITAL, INC. ("NORTHSIDE") SYSTEM COMPRISES THREE HOSPITAL FACILITIES: (1) NORTHSIDE HOSPITAL-ATLANTA, (2) NORTHSIDE HOSPITAL-CHEROKEE AND (3) NORTHSIDE HOSPITAL-FORSYTH. AT THE END OF FISCAL YEAR 2013, NORTHSIDE ADOPTED A CHNA FOR EACH OF ITS HOSPITAL FACILITIES. NORTHSIDE UTILIZED SIMILAR RESOURCES, PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES IN CONDUCTING ITS HOSPITAL FACILITIES' CHNAS; ADDITIONALLY, THE CHNAS WERE CONDUCTED SIMULTANEOUSLY.NORTHSIDE DEVELOPED A STANDARDIZED PROCESS FOR CONDUCTING EACH HOSPITAL'S CHNA. IN SHORT, NORTHSIDE'S ASSESSMENT PROCESS INCLUDED:A. REVIEW OF HOSPITAL INTERNAL DATA. THIS INCLUDED, BUT WAS NOT LIMITED TO, A REVIEW OF THE HOSPITAL FACILITIES' DEMOGRAPHIC AND SOCIOECONOMIC DATA, THE TOP SERVICES UTILIZED BY INDIGENT AND CHARITY CARE PATIENTS, AND THE TOP CONDITIONS TREATED IN EACH HOSPITAL FACILITY'S EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT.B. REVIEW OF PUBLICLY AVAILABLE HEALTH DATA. THIS DATA ASSISTED NORTHSIDE IN DISCERNING THE TOP CHRONIC CONDITIONS AND PREVENTABLE BEHAVIORS IN EACH HOSPITAL FACILITY'S COMMUNITY. C. REVIEW OF PROPRIETARY QUANTITATIVE CONSUMER RESEARCH DATA.D. STAKEHOLDER INPUT FROM A VARIETY OF STAKEHOLDERS REPRESENTING THE BROAD INTERESTS OF EACH HOSPITAL FACILITY'S COMMUNITY. E. SUMMARY AND PRIORITIZATION OF NEEDS IDENTIFIED.F. DEVELOPMENT OF AN IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS IDENTIFIED.G. PRESENTATION AND ADOPTION OF THE CHNAS AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES BY THE PLANNING COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF NORTHSIDE. H. PUBLIC ACCESS TO EACH HOSPITAL'S CHNA.NORTHSIDE IS IN THE PROCESS OF IMPLEMENTING THE VARIOUS STRATEGIES AS A RESULT OF THE FISCAL YEAR 2013- FISCAL YEAR 2015 CHNA. TO AID NORTHSIDE IN REPORTING AND TRACKING ITS COMMUNITY BENEFIT ACTIVITIES, NORTHSIDE INVESTED IN AN ONLINE TOOL THAT ALLOWS USERS TO ENTER SPECIFIC COMMUNITY BENEFIT EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES. TO DATE, APPROXIMATELY 35 "REPORTERS" FROM ACROSS THE NORTHSIDE SYSTEM ARE ENTERING NORTHSIDE COMMUNITY BENEFIT ACTIVITIES. IN ADDITION, NORTHSIDE HAS BEGUN THE PROCESS OF UPDATING ITS FISCAL YEAR 2013 CHNA, AND IN CONNECTION WITH THIS PROCESS IS TAKING A RENEWED LOOK AT ITS COMMUNITY TO GAUGE IF ANY OF THE COMMUNITY'S NEEDS HAVE CHANGED SINCE THE LAST CHNA. THE NEW CHNA WILL BE FINALIZED IN FISCAL YEAR 2016. |
| PART VI, LINE 3: | NORTHSIDE HOSPITAL, INC. ("NORTHSIDE") INFORMS AND EDUCATES PATIENTS AND PERSONS WHO MAY BE BILLED FOR PATIENT CARE ABOUT THEIR ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS AS WELL AS UNDER THE NORTHSIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM POLICY. BI-LINGUAL SIGNAGE IS POSTED IN THE WAITING AREAS OF THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AS WELL AS ALL OUT-PATIENT LOCATIONS OF ALL OF NORTHSIDE'S HOSPITALS, WHICH PROVIDES INFORMATION ABOUT HOW PATIENTS CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT NORTHSIDE'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. PATIENTS PARTICIPATE IN A FINANCIAL DISCUSSION REGARDING OUT-OF-POCKET PAYMENT LIABILITY EITHER PRIOR TO SERVICES RENDERED OR AT THE POINT OF SERVICE RENDERED. IF A PATIENT INDICATES A POSSIBLE NEED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, A COPY OF NORTHSIDE'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION IS PROVIDED TO THE PATIENT AND THE PATIENT WILL BE REFERRED TO A FINANCIAL COUNSELOR. THE FINANCIAL COUNSELOR WILL WORK WITH THE PATIENT TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE PATIENT IS ELIGIBLE FOR GOVERNMENT BENEFITS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, AND IF NOT, WILL DISCUSS PAYMENT PLAN OPTIONS WITH THE PATIENT. MOREOVER, ALL PATIENTS ARE PROVIDED WITH AND MUST SIGN TO ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF INFORMATION REGARDING THEIR FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF HOSPITAL CHARGES PRIOR TO DISCHARGE/SERVICES BEING RENDERED. NORTHSIDE ALSO WORKS CLOSELY WITH MANY COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAMS TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO THOSE PATIENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR FREE OR DISCOUNTED SERVICES BASED ON THESE PROGRAMS' FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE CRITERIA. FOR PATIENTS RECEIVING MEDICALLY NECESSARY SERVICES WHO ARE REFERRED THROUGH AND SATISFY COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAM CRITERIA, NORTHSIDE WILL PROVIDE THESE PATIENTS WITH FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE WITHOUT REQUIRING THESE PATIENTS TO COMPLETE THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION. THIS PROCESS ALLOWS A PATIENT TO QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PRIOR TO THE POINT OF SERVICE, THEREBY RELIEVING THEM FROM THE STRESS AND BURDEN OF THE FINANCIAL ASPECT OF THEIR CARE, AND ALLOWING THEM TO FOCUS ON THEIR RECOVERY. |
| PART VI, LINE 4: | NORTHSIDE HOSPITAL-ATLANTA ("NHA")BROADLY, NHA PRIMARILY SERVES PORTIONS OF CHEROKEE, COBB, DEKALB, FORSYTH, FULTON, AND GWINNETT COUNTIES. GIVEN THAT NHA ONLY SERVES PORTIONS OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COUNTIES, FOR ITS FY2013-FY2015 CHNA, THE HOSPITAL DEFINED ITS "COMMUNITY" ON A ZIP-CODE LEVEL BASIS IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY AND DEFINE A CONTIGUOUS AREA THAT REPRESENTS 75% OF ITS TOTAL INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT VOLUME. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT NO HIGH-PRIORITY POPULATIONS (E.G., INDIGENT, MINORITY, MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED OR THOSE WITH CHRONIC DISEASES) WERE EXCLUDED FROM THE DEFINITION.AN ESTIMATED 2.1 MILLION PEOPLE RESIDED IN NHA'S COMMUNITY. THE GENDER RATIO WAS BALANCED, ESSENTIALLY 50/50, AND THE MEDIAN AGE WAS 35; EQUIVALENT WITH THE MEDIAN AGE FOR GEORGIA'S TOTAL POPULATION. FEMALES 15-44 REPRESENTED 21% OF THE COMMUNITY'S TOTAL POPULATION, THE SAME AS GEORGIA, AND THE 65+ AGE GROUP REPRESENTED 9% OF THE COMMUNITY'S TOTAL POPULATION COMPARED TO 11% FOR THE STATE.NHA'S COMMUNITY PREDOMINATELY IS CAUCASIAN (65%) WITH AFRICAN AMERICANS (17%) AND ASIANS (7%) COMPRISING THE TWO LARGEST MINORITY POPULATIONS. A LARGER PERCENTAGE OF NHA'S COMMUNITY IS CAUCASIAN AND ASIAN COMPARED TO THE RACE BREAKDOWN FOR THE STATE. IN ADDITION, A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF NHA'S COMMUNITY IS HISPANIC OR LATINO WHEN COMPARED TO GEORGIA'S STATEWIDE RATE: 15% OF NHA'S COMMUNITY IS HISPANIC OR LATINO COMPARED TO 9% FOR GEORGIA.NHA'S COMMUNITY IS RELATIVELY AFFLUENT IN TERMS OF THE HIGHEST EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT ACHIEVED, HOUSEHOLD INCOME AND HOUSING VALUES. THE PERCENTAGE OF NHA'S COMMUNITY WITH BACHELORS (31%) OR MASTERS (11%) DEGREES IS NEARLY DOUBLE THE STATE-WIDE RATE. GIVEN THE HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF POPULATION WITH ADVANCED DEGREES, IT IS NOT SURPRISING THAT THE HOUSEHOLD INCOME AND HOUSING VALUES IN NHA'S COMMUNITY EXCEEDS STATE-WIDE RATES AS WELL. THE LARGEST PERCENTAGE OF THE POPULATION IN NHA'S COMMUNITY HAD HOUSEHOLD INCOMES OF $100,000 OR MORE COMPARED TO $25,000-$49,999 FOR GEORGIA. FOR HOUSING UNIT VALUE, NEARLY 55% OF HOMES IN THE COMMUNITY WERE VALUED AT $200,000 OR MORE COMPARED TO JUST 30% FOR GEORGIA.NHA'S COMMUNITY HAS A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF THE WORKING-AGED POPULATION (I.E., AGE 16-AND-OLDER) EMPLOYED THAN STATE WIDE. IN FACT, NEARLY 68% OF THE COMMUNITY'S POPULATION AGE 16-AND-OLDER IS EMPLOYED IN NON-MILITARY POSITIONS COMPARED TO 59% FOR GEORGIA. THE COMMUNITY ALSO ENJOYS LOWER CIVILIAN UNEMPLOYMENT (5% VS. 6%) AND HAS A LOWER PERCENTAGE OF RESIDENTS "NOT IN THE LABOR FORCE" (27% VS. 34%); NOT IN THE LABOR FORCE INCLUDES ALL PERSONS AGE 16-AND-OLDER WHO ARE NOT EMPLOYED OR LOOKING FOR EMPLOYMENT.CONSISTENT WITH THE HIGHER EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT AND FINANCIAL STATUS DEMOGRAPHICS OF NHA'S COMMUNITY, IT IS NOT SURPRISING THAT THE RATE OF POVERTY IN THE COMMUNITY IS LOWER THAN THE STATE-WIDE RATE: AN ESTIMATED 35,600 FAMILIES, OR 7% OF NHA'S COMMUNITY, WERE BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL COMPARED TO NEARLY 12% OF GEORGIA'S FAMILIES. NORTHSIDE HOSPITAL-CHEROKEE ("NHC")LOCATED IN CHEROKEE COUNTY, GEORGIA, NHC IS THE SOLE-COUNTY PROVIDER AND PRIMARILY SERVES THE RESIDENTS OF CHEROKEE AND PICKENS COUNTIES. IN FACT, THESE TWO COUNTIES REPRESENT 84% OF TOTAL INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT VOLUME. THUS, FOR ITS FY2013-FY2015 CHNA, NHC DEFINED ITS "COMMUNITY" BASED ON THESE TWO COUNTIES. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT NO HIGH-PRIORITY POPULATIONS (E.G., INDIGENT, MINORITY, MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED OR THOSE WITH CHRONIC DISEASES) WERE EXCLUDED FROM THE DEFINITION.CHEROKEE COUNTY IS THE SEVENTH LARGEST COUNTY IN GEORGIA AND IS PROJECTED TO BE THE STATE'S FIFTH LARGEST COUNTY BY 2020. AN ESTIMATED 250,000 PEOPLE RESIDED IN NHC'S COMMUNITY. THE GENDER RATIO WAS BALANCED, ESSENTIALLY 50/50, AND THE MEDIAN AGE WAS 36; SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN THE MEDIAN AGE FOR GEORGIA'S TOTAL POPULATION. FEMALES 15-44 REPRESENTED 22% OF THE COMMUNITY'S TOTAL POPULATION COMPARED TO 21% OF GEORGIA'S AND THE 65+ AGE GROUP REPRESENTED 10% OF THE COMMUNITY'S TOTAL POPULATION COMPARED TO 11% FOR THE STATE.NHC'S COMMUNITY PREDOMINATELY IS CAUCASIAN WITH AFRICAN AMERICANS COMPRISING THE LARGEST MINORITY POPULATION. A SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER PERCENTAGE OF NHC'S COMMUNITY (86%) IS CAUCASIAN AS COMPARED TO THE STATE (61%). SIX PERCENT (6%) OF THE COMMUNITY'S POPULATION IS BLACK OR AFRICAN AMERICAN COMPARED TO THIRTY PERCENT (30%) FOR THE STATE. LASTLY, THE COMMUNITY'S PERCENTAGE OF HISPANIC OR LATINO POPULATION IS THE SAME AS GEORGIA'S STATEWIDE RATE OF 9%.THE PERCENTAGE OF NHC'S COMMUNITY WITH A BACHELORS DEGREE (23%) IS HIGHER THAN THE STATE-WIDE RATE (18%) AND THE PERCENTAGE OF NHC'S COMMUNITY THAT HAS OBTAINED MASTERS DEGREES (6%) IS FAIRLY SIMILAR THE STATE OF GEORGIA (7%). GIVEN THAT THE EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT OF THE POPULATION IS FAIRLY ALIGNED WITH THE STATE OF GEORGIA, IT IS NOT SURPRISING THAT THE HOUSEHOLD INCOME AND HOUSING VALUES IN NHC'S COMMUNITY ARE ALIGNED WITH THE STATE-WIDE RATES AS WELL. THE LARGEST PERCENTAGE OF THE POPULATION IN NHC'S COMMUNITY HAD HOUSEHOLD INCOMES BETWEEN $25,000 AND $49,000; CONSISTENT WITH GEORGIA. FOR HOUSING UNIT VALUE, NEARLY 52% OF HOMES IN THE COMMUNITY WERE VALUED BETWEEN $100,000 AND $199,999 COMPARED TO 43% FOR GEORGIA.NHC'S COMMUNITY HAS A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF THE WORKING-AGED POPULATION (I.E., AGE 16-AND-OLDER) EMPLOYED THAN STATE WIDE. IN FACT, 65% OF THE COMMUNITY'S POPULATION AGE 16-AND-OLDER IS EMPLOYED IN NON-MILITARY POSITIONS COMPARED TO 59% FOR GEORGIA. THE COMMUNITY ALSO ENJOYS LOWER CIVILIAN UNEMPLOYMENT (5% VS. 6%) AND HAS A LOWER PERCENTAGE OF RESIDENTS "NOT IN THE LABOR FORCE"(30% VS. 34%); NOT IN THE LABOR FORCE INCLUDES ALL PERSONS 16-AND-OLDER WHO ARE NOT EMPLOYED OR LOOKING FOR EMPLOYMENT.WHILE FORTY-SEVEN PERCENT (47%) OF THE COMMUNITY'S HOUSEHOLDS ARE MIDDLE-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS (IDENTICAL TO GEORGIA) ONLY FOURTEEN PERCENT (14%) OF THE COMMUNITY'S HOUSEHOLDS HAVE INCOME LESS THAN $25,000 COMPARED TO TWENTY-FOUR PERCENT (24%) OF GEORGIA'S HOUSEHOLDS. THEREFORE, IT IS NOT SURPRISING THAT THE RATE OF POVERTY IN THE COMMUNITY IS LOWER THAN THE STATE-WIDE RATE: AN ESTIMATED 4,000 FAMILIES, OR 6% OF NHC'S COMMUNITY, WERE BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL COMPARED TO NEARLY 12% OF GEORGIA'S FAMILIES. THIS DESCRIPTION IS CONTINUED LATER IN SCHEDULE H. |
| PART VI, LINE 5: | NORTHSIDE HOSPITAL, INC. ("NORTHSIDE") IS DEDICATED TO IMPROVING THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES AND TO MEETING THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF ITS GROWING COMMUNITY. TO THAT END, NORTHSIDE CONTINUALLY INVESTS IN NEW OR EXPANDED FACILITIES AND SERVICES, AND STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGY. IN ADDITION, NORTHSIDE INVESTS ITS RESOURCES, BOTH CAPITAL AND PERSONNEL, INTO NUMEROUS OUTREACH ACTIVITIES SUCH AS FREE HEALTH SEMINARS, SCREENINGS, AWARENESS EVENTS AND MORE.NORTHSIDE CONTINUES TO INVEST IN NEW AND/OR EXPANDED SERVICES OR FACILITIES DESIGNED TO IMPROVE AVAILABILITY OF SERVICES AND GEOGRAPHIC AND FINANCIAL ACCESS TO CARE. AMONG OTHER THINGS, DURING FISCAL YEAR 2014, NORTHSIDE ACQUIRED VARIOUS PHYSICIAN PRACTICES AND OUTPATIENT SPECIALTY CENTERS TO CONCENTRATE PHYSICIAN FOCUS ON PATIENT NEEDS AND TO PROVIDE GREATER ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY CARE. NORTHSIDE ALSO CONTINUES TO OPEN ADDITIONAL OUTPATIENT CARE FACILITIES AND MEDICAL CAMPUSES. IN FY2013, NORTHSIDE OPENED A MAJOR MEDICAL CAMPUS IN TOWNE LAKE WHICH HOUSES A WIDE VARIETY OF OUTPATIENT HEALTH CARE SERVICES AND PHYSICIAN PRACTICES REPRESENTING NUMEROUS MEDICAL SPECIALTIES. IN APRIL 2014, NORTHSIDE COMPLETED ITS EXPANSION OF ITS RADIATION ONCOLOGY FACILITIES AND SERVICES AT THE ATLANTA CAMPUS TO BETTER ACCOMMODATE THE GROWING NUMBER OF PATIENTS REQUIRING TREATMENT AT THE HOSPITAL'S ATLANTA CANCER CENTER ALSO, DURING FY2014, NORTHSIDE HOSPITAL-FORSYTH ("NHF") BEGAN OFFERING LEVEL-III NEONATAL CARE SERVICES AT ITS WOMEN'S CENTER, ESTABLISHING A 4 BED NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT. IN ADDITION TO EXPANDING ITS NEONATAL SERVICES, NHF ALSO OPENED A NEW MOB ADJACENT TO ITS WOMENS CENTER WHICH WILL HOUSE A VARIETY OF PHYSICIAN SPECIALTIES. NORTHSIDE CONTINUES TO MAKE SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS IN STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGY THAT BENEFITS PATIENTS IN NUMEROUS WAYS. AS A LEADING PROVIDER OF SURGICAL SERVICES, NORTHSIDE IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING ITS PATIENTS ACCESS TO THE LATEST IN SURGICAL TECHNOLOGY AND TREATMENT. IN FY2014, NHF'S PULMONARY AND ENDOSCOPY LAB ANNOUNCED THE ADDITION OF A NEW TECHNOLOGY, ELECTROMAGNETIC NAVIGATION BRONCHOSCOPY (ENB), WHICH IS A MINIMALLY-INVASIVE TECHNOLOGY THAT HELPS PHYSICIANS LOCATE, BIOPSY AND PLAN TREATMENT FOR LESIONS DETECTED DEEP IN THE LUNGS IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF LUNG CANCER. THE ENB PROCEDURE REDUCES THE POTENTIAL FOR COMPLICATIONS THAT ARE OFTEN CAUSED BY MORE INVASIVE PROCEDURES. NORTHSIDE HOSPITAL-ATLANTA ("NHA") AND NHF BOTH OFFER SINGLE-INCISION ROBOTIC SURGERY, AS NHA PERFORMED THE FIRST SINGLE INCISION ROBOTIC SURGERY IN GEORGIA DURING FY 2012. ROBOTIC-ASSISTED MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY PROVIDES NUMEROUS BENEFITS TO PATIENTS, INCLUDING IMPROVED CLINICAL OUTCOMES, SHORTER HOSPITAL STAYS, REDUCED BLOOD LOSS, REDUCED PAIN AND TRAUMA, LOWER RISK OF INFECTION, FASTER RECOVERY, AND LESS SCARRING. ALL THREE (3) HOSPITALS OFFER THE LATEST MODEL OF THE DA VINCI SURGICAL SYSTEM THE SI. THIS IS A FURTHER TESTAMENT TO NORTHSIDE'S COMMITMENT TO PROVIDING QUALITY CARE UTILIZING CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY. IN 2013, NHC EXPANDED ITS CARDIAC CATHETERIZATION/INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY LABORATORY TO NOT ONLY ACCOMMODATE A HIGHER VOLUME OF PATIENTS BUT TO OFFER THESE PATIENTS GREATER FLEXIBILITY AND ADDITIONAL CARE.DURING FY 2012, NHC BROKE GROUND ON ITS REPLACEMENT HOSPITAL AND ITS CONSTRUCTION IS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY. THE CONSTRUCTION WAS APPROVED THAT YEAR BY THE GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY HEALTH. THIS RELOCATED HOSPITAL WILL OFFER THE SAME HIGH QUALITY HEALTHCARE SERVICES IN A NEW, MODERN AND MORE ACCESSIBLE HEALTH CARE FACILITY. THE COMMUNITY SUPPORT FOR THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN OVERWHELMING; OVER 2,000 OFFICIALS, BUSINESS LEADERS, PHYSICIANS, HEALTH CARE PERSONNEL AND CITIZENS VOICED THEIR SUPPORT FOR THE PROJECT THROUGH LETTERS, EMAILS AND PHONE CALLS.DURING FY 2011, NORTHSIDE RECEIVED REGULATORY APPROVAL TO INVEST $51 MILLION TO EXPAND INPATIENT BED CAPACITY AT NHF, WHICH BROUGHT TOTAL BEDS FROM 155 TO 201 BY THE END OF FY 2012. SINCE THEN NHF HAS SINCE EXPANDED ITS INPATIENT BED CAPACITY TO 231 BEDS AS OF THE END OF FY2014. THIS INVESTMENT IS IN DIRECT RESPONSE TO THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY HEALTH'S IDENTIFIED INSTITUTION-SPECIFIC BED NEED PROJECTION. ALL OF THESE INVESTMENTS IMPROVE ACCESS TO NEEDED HEALTHCARE SERVICES THROUGHOUT THE NORTHSIDE SYSTEM SERVICE AREAS.IN ADDITION TO BRICK AND MORTAR INVESTMENTS AND GENERAL PATIENT CARE, NORTHSIDE INVESTS A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF TIME AND RESOURCES IN PUBLIC HEALTH EDUCATION, PREVENTION AND SCREENING ACTIVITIES IN LOCAL COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT ITS SERVICE AREA. WHETHER HOSTING ITS OWN OUTREACH EVENT OR PARTNERING WITH A LOCAL COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION LIKE THE MARCH OF DIMES, AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY OR THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION, NORTHSIDE IS DEDICATED TO IMPROVING THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. IN FY 2014, NORTHSIDE SPONSORED THE MARCH OF DIMES MARCH FOR BABIES EVENT AND HAD A TEAM OF OVER 300 WALKERS. NORTHSIDE RAISED MORE THAN $468,000 FOR THE MARCH OF DIMES, AND WAS THE #2 CORPORATE TEAM IN GEORGIA. ALL OF THESE ACTIVITIES ARE IN FURTHERANCE OF NORTHSIDE'S MISSION TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES, WHICH NORTHSIDE FUNDS AND SPONSORS FOR THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE, CAN BE FOUND IN ITS COMMUNITY BENEFITS REPORT.NORTHSIDE ALSO CONTINUES TO FOCUS ON EXPANDING AND ENHANCING THE OVERALL HEALTH AND WELFARE OF THE COMMUNITY THROUGH ITS INVOLVEMENT WITH AND DONATIONS TO SCHOOLS, LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE. DURING FY2014 NORTHSIDE HOSPITAL-CHEROKEE ("NHC") DONATED AUTOMATIC EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATORS (AED'S) TO 6 SCHOOLS IN CHEROKEE COUNTY AS WELL AS THE CITY OF HOLLY SPRINGS POLICE DEPARTMENT. THESE LIFE-SAVING DEVICES ARE CRUCIAL IN THE PREVENTION OF CARDIAC DEATH.CANCER REMAINS A GRAVE ISSUE IN ALL COMMUNITIES. NORTHSIDE'S COMMITMENT TO BEING A LEADER IN CANCER CARE THROUGH ITS CANCER INSTITUTE IS EVIDENT IN THE VARIOUS PROGRAMS AND PARTNERSHIPS WITH NATIONAL CANCER ORGANIZATIONS. NORTHSIDE CONTINUES TO BE A LEADER IN CANCER RESEARCH. SINCE BECOMING AN NCCCP (NATIONAL COMMUNITY CANCER CENTER) SITE IN APRIL 2010, THE NSH CANCER INSTITUTE HAS WORKED DILIGENTLY TOWARD INCREASING COMMUNITY OUTREACH TO TARGETED, UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS IN ORDER TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO CAR AND ENHANCE ACCRUAL IN CLINICAL RESEARCH TRIALS. TODAY, THE NSH CANCER INSTITUTE COLLABORATES WITH MORE THAN 40 LOCAL AND NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS TO TARGET MINORITY AND DISPARATE POPULATIONS. IN 2013, NORTHSIDE REPRESENTATIVES PRESENTED OVER 3,042 CASES AT OVER 100 CONFERENCES. IN FY2012, 1,597 PEOPLE BENEFITED FROM PATIENT NAVIGATION THROUGH THE NCCCP PROGRAM. THIS NUMBER INCREASED TO 1,957 IN FY2013. NORTHSIDE HAS ESTABLISHED A BIO-REPOSITORY CAPABLE OF HOUSING OVER 6,000 SAMPLES BASED ON NCI BEST PRACTICES. THE NCCCP PROGRAM CONCLUDED IN JULY 2014. AS A RESULT OF THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE NCCCP PROGRAM, WE NOW EMPLOY AN ACS NAVIGATOR, 10 DISEASE-SPECIFIC NURSE NAVIGATORS, A DISPARITIES NURSE NAVIGATOR, 5 CANCER CARE LIAISONS AND ONCOLOGY SOCIAL WORKERS WHO COLLABORATE TO PROVIDE AN INTEGRATED CARE TEAM APPROACH FOR OUR PATIENTS. TOWARD THE END OF FY2014, NORTHSIDE PROUDLY ANNOUNCED A NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE (NCI) UNDER THE NCI COMMUNITY ONCOLOGY RESEARCH PROGRAM (NCORP) WHICH IS A NEW CANCER RESEARCH PROGRAM THAT AIMS TO REACH MORE GEORGIANS IN THEIR OWN CITIES OR TOWNS, WITH A FOCUS ON THOSE WHO ARE CHALLENGED IN FINDING CANCER CARE RESOURCES IN THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITIES. GOING FORWARD INTO FY2015, THIS PROGRAM WILL PROVIDE THESE INDIVIDUALS ACCESS TO STATE-OF-THE-ART CANCER PREVENTION, SCREENING, CONTROL, TREATMENT AND POST-TREATMENT TRIALS WITH 110 ONCOLOGY CLINICAL PROVIDERS IN 41 DIFFERENT LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT GEORGIA. NORTHSIDE'S MEDICAL STAFF IS ORGANIZED IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST WITH MEDICAL STAFF MEMBERSHIP AND CLINICAL PRIVILEGES OPEN AND AVAILABLE TO QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS IN THE COMMUNITY. MANY OF THE PHYSICIANS ON STAFF AT NORTHSIDE NOT ONLY PROVIDE NEEDED HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY BUT ALSO VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME TO PARTICIPATE IN NORTHSIDE'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS, WHICH INCLUDE FREE HEALTH SCREENINGS AND PUBLIC SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS ON A VARIETY OF HEALTH AND WELLNESS TOPICS. AT NHC THERE ARE MORE THAN 400 PHYSICIANS IN MORE THAN 30 SPECIALTIES ON STAFF, MANY OF WHOM RESIDE IN THE COMMUNITY SERVED BY THE HOSPITAL. NHA AND NHF HAVE A COMBINED MEDICAL STAFF OF MORE THAN 2,000 PHYSICIANS IN MORE THAN 30 SPECIALTIES, OF WHICH NEARLY 300 DESIGNATE NHF AS THEIR PRIMARY CAMPUS. NORTHSIDE HAS AN ELEVEN (11) MEMBER BOARD OF DIRECTORS (THE "BOARD") WITH DIVERSIFIED REPRESENTATION INCLUDING PHYSICIANS, COMMUNITY MEMBERS, BUSINESS LEADERS AND HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATION. ALL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD RESIDED IN NORTHSIDE'S COUNTY-LEVEL PRIMARY SERVICE AREA. NORTHSIDE EMPLOYS A CONFLICTS OF INTEREST POLICY TO ENSURE THAT BOARD MEMBERS REMAIN THE COMMUNITY'S FIDUCIARIES. |

OR MISSION IS TO WORK TO POSITIVELY IMPACT THE OVERALL HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. CLEARLY, EDUCATION, OUTREACH AND COMMUNITY SERVICE ALLOW US TO BROADEN OUR IMPACT BEYOND THE WALLS OF OUR FACILITIES. |
| PART VI, LINE 4 (CONTINUED): | NORTHSIDE HOSPITAL-FORSYTH ("NHF")LOCATED IN FORSYTH COUNTY, GEORGIA, NHF IS THE SOLE-COMMUNITY PROVIDER AND PRIMARILY SERVES RESIDENTS OF FORSYTH AND DAWSON COUNTIES. IN FACT, THESE TWO COUNTIES REPRESENT 80% OF TOTAL INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT VOLUME. THUS, FOR ITS FY 2013-FY 2015 CHNA, NHF DEFINED ITS "COMMUNITY" BASED ON THESE TWO COUNTIES. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT NO HIGH-PRIORITY POPULATIONS (E.G., INDIGENT, MINORITY, MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED OR THOSE WITH CHRONIC CONDITIONS) WERE EXCLUDED FROM THE DEFINITION. AN ESTIMATED 204,000 PEOPLE RESIDED IN NHF'S COMMUNITY. THE GENDER RATIO WAS BALANCED, ESSENTIALLY 50/50, AND THE MEDIAN AGE WAS 36.6; SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN THE MEDIAN AGE FOR GEORGIA'S TOTAL POPULATION. FEMALES 15-44 REPRESENTED 19% OF THE COMMUNITY'S TOTAL POPULATION COMPARED TO 21% OF GEORGIA'S AND THE 65+ AGE GROUP REPRESENTED 9% OF THE COMMUNITY'S TOTAL POPULATION COMPARED TO 11% FOR THE STATE.A SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER PERCENTAGE (85%) OF NHF'S COMMUNITY IS CAUCASIAN AS COMPARED TO THE STATE (61%). FOUR-PERCENT (4%) OF THE COMMUNITY'S POPULATION IS BLACK OR AFRICAN AMERICAN COMPARED TO THIRTY PERCENT (30%) FOR THE STATE.

THE PERCENTAGE OF NHF'S COMMUNITY WITH BACHELORS (29%) OR MASTERS (10%) DEGREES IS HIGHER THAN THE STATE-WIDE RATE (18% AND 7%, RESPECTIVELY). GIVEN THE HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF POPULATION WITH ADVANCED DEGREES, IT IS NOT SURPRISING THAT THE HOUSEHOLD INCOME AND HOUSING VALUES IN NHF'S COMMUNITY EXCEED STATE-WIDE RATES AS WELL. THE LARGEST PERCENTAGE OF THE POPULATION IN NHF'S COMMUNITY HAD HOUSEHOLD INCOME OF $100,000 OR MORE COMPARED TO $25,000-$49,999 FOR GEORGIA. FOR HOUSING UNIT VALUE, 60% OF HOMES IN THE COMMUNITY WERE VALUED AT $200,000 OR MORE COMPARED TO JUST 30% FOR GEORGIA.NHF'S COMMUNITY HAS A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF THE WORKING-AGED POPULATION (I.E., AGE 16-AND-OLDER) EMPLOYED THAN STATE-WIDE.
