        <Explanation>Part III, Line 4: From the consolidated audited financial statements of Ascension Health Alliance (which includes the activity of St. Vincent's Birmingham): The provision for doubtful accounts is based upon management's assessment of expected net collections considering economic conditions, historical experience, trends in healthcare coverage, and other collection indicators. Periodically throughout the year, management assesses the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical write-off experience by payor category, including those amounts not covered by insurance. The results of this review are then used to make any modifications to the povision for doubtful accounts to establish an appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts. After satisfaction of amounts due from insurance and reasonable efforts to collect from the patient have been exhausted, the System follows established guidelines for placing certain past-due patient balances with collection agencies,subject to the terms of certain restrictions on collection efforts as determined by the System.The cost-to-charge ratio was used to determine the bad debt expense at cost. Bad debt expense at cost attributable to patients eligible under the organization's charity polity was calculated by using the US Census date to determine the percentage of population below 200% of the FPL and applied that percentage to bad debt expense at cost as an estimate of charity in bad debt.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Part VI, Line 5: This report illustrates the significant degree to which St. Vincent's Health System through its four hospitals and Health &amp; Wellness facility, contributes to the positive health status of the communities we serve. The system's four hospitals include: St. Vincent's Birmingham, St. Vincent's East, St. Vincent's Blount and St. Vincent's St. Clair. Each hospital has a separate Tax ID number. Each makes an important contribution to caring for their community, including those who are underserved. As a member of Ascension Health, St. Vincent's Health System continues to build and strengthen sustainable collaborative efforts that benefit the health of individuals, families and the community as a whole. The Health System's mission is to extend the healing ministry of Christ. The hospitals of the health system further the mission through the delivery of patient services, care to the elderly and indigent, patient education, and health awareness programs for the community. Our concern for all human life and commitment to the dignity of each person leads us to provide medical services to all people in the community without regard to race, creed, national origin, economic status, or ability to pay. Based on our Core Values and in the spirit of principles adopted by Ascension Health, our Health System has taken proactive steps to address those issues that affect accessibility, the financing, and the delivery of health care to all persons, especially the uninsured, underinsured, and the underserved. The following chart demonstrates the significant number of patient days and the estimated unreimbursed cost of services provide by our four hospitals to the uninsured or underserved.

We earmark a certain percentage of our yearly profits for charitable donations. Through this charitable donation program, we are able to support local chapters of national organizations such as: the American Cancer Society, the American Heart Association, March of Dimes, and Susan G. Komen for the Cure. We also fund local programs and initiatives such as the United Way. Many of our executives serve on the boards of these organizations.We provide essential medical services to the community, train and recruit healthcare professionals to serve the needs of the broader community, provide appropriate charity services to those unable to pay for their health care needs, and provide services to other organizations that allow them to provide quality services to their patients or constituents. Some of these services include Liz Moore Low Vision Center located at St. Vincent's East, Jeremiah's Hope Skills Program, Hispanic Outreach Ministry, Access to Care and Elder Care Services program which are all located at St. Vincent's Birmingham.The goal of the Liz Moore Low Vision Center at St. Vincent's East is to assist the person with low vision to use functional vision to the utmost capacity. A person with low vision may be legally blind but able to function with visual aids that enhance the remaining vision. With the assistance of magnification and adaptations of the special low vision aids that are useful for certain daily tasks, the visually impaired person can function with less difficulty. The Vision Center provides services for the person with low vision. These services are designed to benefit a person's daily life activities, which may be hindered by the visual loss.St. Vincent's Birmingham Jeremiah's Hope Skills Program focuses on training at-risk individuals, particularly women, for entry level jobs in the healthcare industry. Today, more than _ people have graduated from Jeremiah's Hope, and most are still working in the healthcare industry. St. Vincent's has also recently partnered with Jeff State Community College to begin identifying "under-employed" individuals from within our own workforce and training them to become nurses. Philanthropy allowed this revolutionary program to blossom and it has now become a model for other healthcare facilities nationwide.In 2003, St. Vincent's Birmingham initiated a Hispanic Outreach program, La Sana Esperanza/The Healthy Hope, recognizing the changing demographics in Birmingham. This program provides health and medical assistance to the burgeoning Latino population, often an isolated sector of our community. By identifying and placing high-risk persons in our Access to Care, we are providing critical care for those in need in a fiscally responsible manner. We have provided health fairs, health screenings, health information, case management assistance, and language assistance to a myriad of persons within the Birmingham community in order to break down the barriers that lead to poor heath in the Latino population.Access to Care is a healthcare option for the "working poor" in the Birmingham area, serving individuals who are employed but lack health insurance. The Clinic treats up to _ patients at any given time, providing for all of their healthcare needs at no cost to the patient. St. Vincent's works with patients to identify ways to acquire insurance and screens patients based on a willingness to make life changes conducive to good health. This charity care is only made possible because of charitable gifts which provide the equipment, space and staffing the Clinic needs. The Clinic is a service for those patients who have no other options and is possible because of the many philanthropists who support this ministry.The St. Vincent's Birmingham Elder Care Services Program was created in response to a need expressed by a donor to St. Vincent's Foundation. That donor is a self-described Elder Orphan. She has few family members and no prospects to assist her with care as she ages. She worries about her future when the time comes when she is no longer able to drive herself to and from physician appointments and to the grocery store. She trusts St. Vincent's to care for her medical needs and wondered if there was a way for St. Vincent's to assist people like her who will need additional assistance as they age. The idea was presented to Susann Montgomery-Clark in the Foundation office, and after more than two years of focus groups and meetings with St. Vincent's associates, the project was officially launched. Initial funding was requested from a group of focus group members who were supportive and excited about the project and a grant was obtained from the Daughters of Charity to begin work on the outline of services that the Elder Care Services Program might provide. Just in its infancy, the Elder Care Program has hopes to become one that assists our original donor and those like her who will need support services in their twilight years. We Are Called To: - Service of the Poor - Generosity of spirit, especially for persons most in need- Reverence - Respect and compassion for the dignity and diversity of life- Integrity- Inspiring trust through personal leadership- Wisdom- Integrating excellence and stewardship- Creativity- Courageous innovation- Dedication- Affirming the hope and joy of our ministry.St. Vincent's Health System is made up of five facilities: St. Vincent's Birmingham, St. Vincent's Blount, St. Vincent's East, St. Vincent's St. Clair, and One Nineteen Health and Wellness. Together, we provide a special brand of high-touch, high-tech quality care to people in more than 40 different zip codes. Our healthcare family has an extensive network of skilled physicians and associates, as well as the most advanced technologies available. We are a part of Ascension Health, the nation's largest Catholic and non-profit health system, with more than 100,000 associates serving in _ states and the District of Columbia.

        <Explanation>Part VI, Line 6: St. Vincent's Health System (the Health Ministry) is a member of Ascension Health. Ascension Health Alliance is a Missouri nonprofit corporation formed on September 13, 2011. Ascension Health Alliance is the sole corporate member and parent organization of Ascension Health, a Catholic national health system consisting primarily of nonprofit corporations that own and operate local healthcare facilities, or Health Ministries, located in 23 of the United States and the District of Columbia.Ascension Health Alliance is sponsored by Ascension Health Ministries, a Public Juridic Person. The Participating Entities of Ascension Health Ministries are the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul in the United States, St. Louise Province; the Congregation of St. Joseph; the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet; the Congregation of Alexian Brothers of the Immaculate Conception Province, Inc. - American Province; and the Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother of the Third Order of St. Francis of Assisi - US/Caribbean Province. As more fully described in the Organization Changes notes, Marian Health System which was previously sponsored by the Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother of the Third Order or St. Francis of Assisi - US/Caribbean Province, because part of Ascension Health on April 1, 2013. In addition, Alexian Brothers Health System, which was previously sponsored by the Congregation of Alexian Brothers of the Immaculate Conception Province, Inc. - American Province, became part of Ascension Health on January 1, 2012.Mission:The System directs its governance and management activities toward strong, vibrant, Catholic Health Ministries united in service and healing, and dedicates its resources to spiritually centered care which sustains and improves the health of the individuals and communities it serves. In accordance with the System's mission of service to those persons living in poverty and other vulnerable persons, each Health Ministry accepts patients regardless of their ability to pay. The System uses four categories to identify the resources utilized for the care of persons living in poverty and community benefit programs:1. Traditional charity care includes the cost of services provided to persons who cannot afford healthcare because of independent resources and/or who are uninsured or underinsured.2. Unpaid cost of public programs represents the unpaid cost of services provided to persons covered by public programs for the persons living in poverty and other vulnerable persons.3. Cost of other programs for the persons living in poverty and other vulnerable persons includes programs intentionally designed to serve the persons living in poverty and other vulnerable persons of the community including substance abusers, the homeless, victims of child abuse and persons with acquired immune deficiency syndrome.4. Community benefit consists of the unreimbursed costs of community benefit programs and services for the general community, not solely for persons living in poverty and other vulnerable persons, including health promotion and education, health clinics and screenings and medical research.Discounts are provided to all uninsured patients, including those with the means to pay. Discounts provided to those patients who did not qualify for assistance under charity care guidelines are not included in the cost of providing care of persons living in poverty and community benefit programs. The cost of providing care to persons living in poverty and community benefit programs is estimated by reducing charges forgone by a factor derived from the ratio of each entity's total operating expenses to the entity's billed charges for patient care.Certain costs such as graduate medical education and certain other activities are excluded from total operating expenses for the purposes of this computation.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Part I, Line 4b: Eligible executives participate in a program that provides for supplemental retirement benefits. The payment of benefits under the program, if any, is entirely dependent upon the facts and circumstances under which the executive terminates employment with the organization. Benefits under the program are unfunded and non-vested. Due to the substantial risk of forfeiture provision, there is no guarantee that these executives will ever receive any benefit under the program. Any amount ultimately paid under the program to the executive is reported as compensation on Form 990, Schedule J, Part II, Column B in the year paid. A related organization that paid the salaries of the individuals listed in Schedule J, Part II, paid out of the supplemental nonqualified retirement plan in the amounts as noted: Neeysa C. Biddle - $82,918 William A. Davis - $3,401 Nan M. Priest - $20,508 A related organization that paid the salaries of the individuals listed in Schedule J, Part II, contributed to the supplemental nonqualified retirement plan in the amounts as noted: John D.
