Return Reference	PART X, LINE 2:	ReturnReference
Explanation	THE FOUNDATION IS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION AND EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. THEREFORE, NO PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES HAS BEEN MADE IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, BUT THE FOUNDATION IS REQUIRED TO FILE AN ANNUAL INFORMATION TAX RETURN. THE FOUNDATION IS ALSO REQUIRED TO REVIEW VARIOUS TAX POSITIONS IT HAS TAKEN WITH RESPECT TO ITS EXEMPT STATUS AND DETERMINE WHETHER IN FACT IT IS A TAX EXEMPT ENTITY. THE FOUNDATION MUST ALSO CONSIDER WHETHER IT HAS NEXUS IN JURISDICTIONS IN WHICH IT HAS INCOME AND WHETHER A TAX RETURN IS REQUIRED IN THOSE JURISDICTIONS. IN ADDITION, AS A TAX EXEMPT ENTITY, THE FOUNDATION MUST ASSESS WHETHER IT HAS ANY TAX POSITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME SUBJECT TO INCOME TAX. THE FOUNDATION DOES NOT EXPECT ITS POSITIONS TO CHANGE SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS. ANY PENALTIES RELATED TO LATE FILING OR OTHER REQUIREMENTS WOULD BE RECOGNIZED AS EXPENSE IN THE FOUNDATION'S ACCOUNTING RECORDS. THE FOUNDATION FILES U.S. FEDERAL FORM 990 FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES. THE FOUNDATION'S FEDERAL INCOME TAX RETURNS FOR THE TAX YEARS 2009 AND BEYOND REMAIN SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE. SINCE ITS INITIAL INCORPORATION IN 1924, THE FOUNDATION HAS BEEN EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAX UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AS A PUBLIC CHARITY OPERATING A HOSPITAL. DUE TO ITS CONTRIBUTION OF ITS HOSPITAL OPERATIONS TO THE PARTNERSHIP AND ITS NEW GRANT MAKING ACTIVITIES, IT REQUESTED A PRIVATE LETTER RULING FROM THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE TO CONFIRM THE CONTINUATION OF ITS PUBLIC CHARITY STATUS. THE SERVICE DECLINED TO ISSUE SUCH A RULING DUE TO THE NUMBER OF SIMILAR TRANSACTIONS AND ISSUED A REVENUE RULING (REV. RUL. 98-15) DEFINING THE REQUIREMENTS FOR WHOLE HOSPITAL JOINT VENTURES SUCH AS RAPIDES HEALTH SERVICES, LLC. THE SERVICE DECLINED THE FOUNDATION'S REQUEST TO EXAMINE ITS OPERATIONS AND ENTER INTO A CLOSING AGREEMENT. AFTER REV. RUL. 98-15, TWO COURT CASES FOCUSED ON THE CONTROL ISSUE IDENTIFIED BY THE RULING AS DETERMINATIVE OF WHETHER THE JOINT VENTURE JEOPARDIZED THE EXEMPT STATUS OF THE EXEMPT ORGANIZATION. ONE OF THESE, ST. DAVID'S HEALTH CARE SYSTEM, INC. V. UNITED STATES, INVOLVED FACTS VERY SIMILAR TO THOSE PRESENT IN THE FOUNDATION'S OWNERSHIP OF THE LLC, AND WAS A VICTORY FOR THE EXEMPT ORGANIZATION WHOSE STATUS HAD BEEN CHALLENGED. COUNSEL FOR THE FOUNDATION HAS BEEN AT ALL RELEVANT TIMES AND REMAINS OF THE OPINION THAT ANY CHALLENGE TO THE FOUNDATION'S EXEMPT STATUS WOULD BE SIMILARLY DECIDED. THIS OPINION IS BOLSTERED BY REV. RUL. 2004-51, WHICH, WHILE ADDRESSING ANCILLARY ACTIVITY JOINT VENTURES, REPRESENTS AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT BY THE SERVICE THAT SUFFICIENT CONTROL MAY BE MAINTAINED BY THE EXEMPT PARTNER IN SUCH A VENTURE EVEN THOUGH OWNERSHIP AND GOVERNANCE WERE SHARED 50-50 WITH THE FOR-PROFIT VENTURER. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT EVEN IF THE FOUNDATION'S PUBLIC CHARITY STATUS SHOULD NOT CONTINUE, THE FOUNDATION BELIEVES THAT IT WOULD CONTINUE TO BE EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAX UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE CODE AS A PRIVATE FOUNDATION. PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO MORE RESTRICTIONS UNDER THE CODE THAN ARE PUBLIC CHARITIES. THESE RESTRICTIONS INCLUDE STATUTORY PROHIBITIONS AGAINST SELF-DEALING, EXCESS BUSINESS HOLDINGS, JEOPARDY INVESTMENTS, AND TAXABLE EXPENDITURES. IN ADDITION, PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO AN EXCISE TAX ON THEIR NET INVESTMENT INCOME AND ARE REQUIRED TO MAKE ANNUAL DISTRIBUTIONS OF FIVE PERCENT (5%) OF THE AVERAGE MARKET VALUE OF THEIR NON-CHARITABLE-USE ASSETS FOR CHARITABLE, EDUCATIONAL, SCIENTIFIC, AND SIMILAR PURPOSES. NON-CHARITABLE-USE ASSETS ARE ASSETS THAT ARE NOT USED OR HELD FOR USE DIRECTLY IN CARRYING ON THE ORGANIZATION'S EXEMPT PURPOSE; THEY INCLUDE ASSETS HELD FOR INVESTMENT AND THE PRODUCTION OF INVESTMENT INCOME. PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS ARE REQUIRED TO PUBLISH A NOTICE THAT THEIR ANNUAL REPORTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION. THESE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DO NOT CONSIDER THE EFFECTS OF A POSSIBLE RETROACTIVE DETERMINATION BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE THAT THE FOUNDATION IS NOT EXEMPT FROM TAXATION OR THAT IT IS A NONPROFIT PRIVATE FOUNDATION. SUCH EFFECTS COULD INCLUDE INCOME TAXES ON ITS EARNINGS, A REQUIREMENT THAT IT DIVEST ITSELF OF A PORTION OF THE LLC, EXCISE TAXES ON NET INVESTMENT INCOME AND VARIOUS PENALTIES. THE CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT REQUIRES THAT THE PARTNERSHIP, AND THE OPERATING AGREEMENT OF THE LLC REQUIRES THAT THE LLC, OPERATE IN A FASHION SO AS NOT TO ADVERSELY AFFECT THE FOUNDATION'S TAX-EXEMPT STATUS, AND SUPPORT COMMUNITY, CIVIC, CHARITABLE AND CULTURAL ACTIVITIES AT A LEVEL AT LEAST EQUAL TO THAT OF THE RAPIDES REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER IN THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1994. IT ALSO CALLS FOR IT TO PROVIDE $2.8 MILLION OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE ANNUALLY TO THE ALEXANDRIA, LOUISIANA COMMUNITY, AS WELL AS CONTINUE HISTORIC LEVELS IN THE OTHER COMMUNITIES WHERE IT HAS HOSPITALS.

PART I, LINE 3C: THE RAPIDES HEALTHCARE SYSTEM (RHS) DOES NOT UTILIZE FPG AS CRITERIA FOR DISCOUNTED CARE. ANY INDIVIDUAL AT INCOME OF 200% OR LESS OF FPG QUALIFIES FOR THE RHS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICIES (FAP) AND RECEIVES A 100% DISCOUNT ON THEIR BILL, OR FREE CARE. THERE IS NO PROVISION FOR PARTIAL DISCOUNTS ON PATIENT BILLS UNDER THE FAP. ALL UNINSURED PATIENTS WHO DO NOT QUALIFY UNDER THE FAP RECEIVE AN UNINSURED DISCOUNT ON THEIR BILLS.
PART I, LINE 7: A. THE COST FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WAS DERIVED USING A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO FROM SCHEDULE H, WORKSHEET 2 APPLIED IN WORKSHEET 1. FAP-ELIGIBLE PATIENT REVENUE IS BASED ON GAAP, AND BAD DEBT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS CALCULATION. NO EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS CALCULATION. PERSONS SERVED ARE THE TOTAL FAP-ELIGIBLE INPATIENT ADMISSIONS PLUS TOTAL FAP-ELIGIBLE OUTPATIENT VISITS.B. UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID COSTS WERE DERIVED USING A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO FROM SCHEDULE H WORKSHEET 2 APPLIED IN WORKSHEET 3. PATIENT REVENUE IS BASED ON GAAP, AND BAD DEBT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS CALCULATION. NO EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS CALCULATION. PERSONS SERVED ARE THE TOTAL MEDICAID INPATIENT ADMISSIONS PLUS TOTAL MEDICAID OUTPATIENT VISITS.
RRMC RECORDS PATIENT PAYMENTS TO ACCOUNTS AS WELL AS 100% DISCOUNTS FOR FAP-ELIGIBLE PATIENTS AND PARTIAL DISCOUNTS FOR UNINSURED PATIENTS. THEN NON-FAP ELIGIBLE PATIENTS ARE BILLED, AND RRMC RECORDS A PROVISION FOR BAD DEBT ACCOUNTS ON THE REMAINING RECEIVABLES BASED UPON ITS HISTORICAL COLLECTION EXPERIENCE. THE METHODOLOGY TO DETERMINE THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE REPORTED AT COST ON PART III, LINE 2 IS TO TAKE THE RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COSTS TO GROSS PATIENT CHARGES AND MULTIPLY THIS RESULTING RATIO BY THE GROSS CHARGES FOR BAD DEBT ACCOUNTS.	PART III, SECTION A, LINE 2:
PART III, LINE 4: EXCERPT FROM 2012 NOTES TO AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF RAPIDES HEALTHCARE SYSTEM, LLC:"THE COMPANY DOES NOT PURSUE COLLECTION OF AMOUNTS RELATED TO PATIENTS WHO MEET THE GUIDELINES TO QUALIFY AS CHARITY CARE; THEREFORE, THEY ARE NOT REPORTED IN REVENUES. PATIENTS TREATED AT THE COMPANY'S HOSPITALS FOR NON-ELECTIVE CARE, WHO HAVE INCOME AT OR BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL, ARE ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY CARE. THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL IS ESTABLISHED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND IS BASED ON INCOME AND FAMILY SIZE. THE COMPANY PROVIDES DISCOUNTS TO UNINSURED PATIENTS WHO DO NOT QUALIFY FOR MEDICAID OR CHARITY CARE. THESE DISCOUNTS ARE SIMILAR TO THOSE PROVIDED TO MANY LOCAL MANAGED CARE PLANS. AFTER THE DISCOUNTS ARE APPLIED, IF THE COMPANY IS STILL UNABLE TO COLLECT A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF UNINSURED PATENTS' ACCOUNTS, THE COMPANY WILL RECORD SIGNIFICANT PROVISIONS FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS (BASED UPON THE COMPANY'S HISTORICAL COLLECTION EXPERIENCE) RELATED TO UNINSURED PATIENTS IN THE PERIOD THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED. "THE REVENUE DEDUCTIONS RELATED TO UNINSURED ACCOUNTS (CHARITY CARE AND UNINSURED DISCOUNTS) GENERALLY HAVE THE INVERSE EFFECT ON THE PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. TO QUANTIFY THE TOTAL IMPACT OF AND TRENDS RELATED TO UNINSURED ACCOUNTS, THE COMPANY BELIEVES IT IS BENEFICIAL TO VIEW THESE REVENUE DEDUCTIONS AND PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS IN COMBINATION, AS WELL AS SEPARATELY. "THE PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS, AS A PERCENTAGE OF NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUES, DECREASED FROM 10% FOR 2011 TO 8% FOR 2012. THE SUM OF THE PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS, UNINSURED DISCOUNTS AND CHARITY CARE, AS A PERCENTAGE OF THE SUM OF NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUES, UNINSURED DISCOUNTS AND CHARITY CARE INCREASED FROM 21.9% FOR 2011 TO 24.8% FOR 2012."
PART III, LINE 8: EVEN THOUGH THE AMOUNT REPORTED FOR MEDICARE ACTIVITY IN SECTION B REFLECTS A SURPLUS FOR THE YEAR, IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE AMOUNT OF PATIENT CARE COSTS DO NOT INCLUDE MEDICARE NON-ALLOWABLE EXPENSES. THE AMOUNTS REPORTED ON PART III, LINES 5-7 HAVE BEEN DETERMINED FROM THE INDIVIDUAL FACILITY COST REPORT FOR RAPIDES REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER.
PART III, LINE 9B: UNINSURED PATIENTS ARE FIRST SCREENED TO DETERMINE IF THEY ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FEDERAL OR STATE GOVERNMENTAL HEALTHCARE PROGRAMS (MEDICAID, MEDICARE). WHILE ELIGIBILITY IS BEING DETERMINED, THEIR ACCOUNT IS "PENDING," AND NO BILL IS SENT TO THE PATIENT. IF THE PATIENT IS FOUND NOT TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR SUCH A PROGRAM, THEN THEY ARE GIVEN A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION AND SCREENED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. RHS DOES NOT PURSUE COLLECTION OF ACCOUNTS WHILE IT ATTEMPTS TO DETERMINE WHETHER UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED PATIENTS MEET ITS GUIDELINES TO QUALIFY FOR FREE CHARITY CARE UNDER ITS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY (FAP). THE RAPIDES HEALTHCARE SYSTEM "DISCOUNT CHARITY POLICY FOR PATIENTS" CLEARLY DESCRIBES IN DETAIL THE PROCESS THAT IS FOLLOWED IN DETERMINING WHETHER A PATIENT IS QUALIFIED FOR CHARITY CARE. UNTIL IT IS DETERMINED WHETHER A PATIENT ACCOUNT QUALIFIES FOR CHARITY CARE, THE ACCOUNT IS HELD IN A "PENDING" STATE, AND THE ACCOUNT IS NOT BILLED, NOR SUBMITTED FOR COLLECTION. ONCE AN ACCOUNT IS APPROVED AS FAP-ELIGIBLE BY AN AUTHORIZED MANAGER, THE APPROPRIATE CODE IS POSTED TO THE ACCOUNT IN THE BILLING SYSTEM, THE ACCOUNT IS WRITTEN OFF, AND NO BILL IS SENT TO THE PATIENT.
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11: THE RAPIDES HEALTHCARE SYSTEM (RHS) DOES NOT UTILIZE FPG AS CRITERIA FOR DISCOUNTED CARE. ANY INDIVIDUAL AT INCOME OF 200% OR LESS OF FPG QUALIFIES FOR THE RHS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICIES (FAP) AND RECEIVES A 100% DISCOUNT ON THEIR BILL, OR FREE CARE. THERE IS NO PROVISION FOR PARTIAL DISCOUNTS ON PATIENT BILLS UNDER THE FAP. ALL UNINSURED PATIENTS WHO DO NOT QUALIFY UNDER THE FAP RECEIVE AN UNINSURED DISCOUNT ON THEIR BILLS.		RAPIDES REGIONAL MEDICAL CTR
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 12H: UNINSURED PATIENTS MAY QUALIFY FOR 100% DISCOUNT ON THEIR BILL UNDER EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES AFTER MANAGER REVIEW AND APPROVAL, IN CASES SUCH AS THE PATIENT IS NOT ABLE TO COMPLETE THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION OR PROVIDE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION, WHERE PATIENTS ARE IDENTIFIED AS UNDOCUMENTED RESIDENTS OR HOMELESS, OR PATIENTS THAT EXPIRE WITHOUT AN ESTATE.		RAPIDES REGIONAL MEDICAL CTR
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 20D: THE RAPIDES HEALTHCARE SYSTEM (RHS) DOES NOT OFFER DISCOUNTED CARE UNDER ITS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICIES. ANY INDIVIDUAL AT INCOME OF 200% OR LESS OF FPG QUALIFIES FOR THE RHS FAP AND RECEIVES A 100% DISCOUNT ON THEIR BILL, OR FREE CARE. THUS, FAP-ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUALS ARE NOT CHARGED FOR CARE. THERE IS NO PROVISION FOR PARTIAL DISCOUNTS ON PATIENT BILLS UNDER THE FAP. ALL UNINSURED PATIENTS WHO DO NOT QUALIFY UNDER THE FAP RECEIVE AN UNINSURED DISCOUNT ON THEIR BILLS.		RAPIDES REGIONAL MEDICAL CTR
PART VI, LINE 2: IN ADDITION TO THE FORMAL COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT DIRECTED BY THE RAPIDES HEALTHCARE SYSTEM COMMUNITY BENEFIT COMMITTEE, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF WAYS THAT RAPIDES REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER (RRMC) STAFF AND TRUSTEES ASSESS THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF ITS COMMUNITY ON AN ONGOING BASIS. RRMC TRUSTEES, EXECUTIVES AND MANAGERS NETWORK EXTENSIVELY WITH OTHERS IN THE COMMUNITY WHO SERVE POPULATIONS IN NEED, SUCH AS OTHER HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS, LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS. KEY EXECUTIVES AND MANAGERS ALSO SERVE ON BOARDS OF NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS IN THE COMMUNITY WHO PROVIDE SERVICES TO POPULATIONS IN NEED. BEGINNING IN LATE 2012 AND CONTINUING THROUGH 2013, RRMC AND THE OTHER LARGE ACUTE-CARE HOSPITAL IN THE COMMUNITY (A CHRISTUS FACILITY) BEGAN DISCUSSIONS WITH THE LOUISIANA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HOSPITALS ABOUT THE DESIGN OF A NEW HEALTH CARE SAFETY-NET SOLUTION FOR THE CENTRAL LOUISIANA REGION. THIS WAS IN RESPONSE TO THE LOUISIANA GOVERNOR'S DECISION TO DISMANTLE THE STATE'S LONG-STANDING CHARITY HOSPITAL SYSTEM AND MOVE THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROVISION OF ALL HEALTH CARE FOR THE INDIGENT TO THE PRIVATE SECTOR. RRMC DISCUSSIONS WERE SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE TRANSITION OF SERVICES NOW PERFORMED AT THE STATE-RUN HUEY P. LONG HOSPITAL FACILITY IN PINEVILLE, IN RAPIDES PARISH. A COOPERATIVE ENDEAVOR AGREEMENT WAS EXECUTED IN OCTOBER 2013 WHICH CALLS FOR ACUTE CARE MEDICAL, PSYCHIATRIC, AND EMERGENCY SERVICES, AS WELL AS PRIMARY AND SPECIALTY CLINIC SERVICES FOR THE UN- AND UNDERINSURED POPULATION OF CENTRAL LOUISIANA TO BE PROVIDED BY RRMC AND CHRISTUS HOSPITALS, PARTIALLY SUPPORTED BY A STATE SUBSIDY, TRANSITIONING BEGINNING DECEMBER 1, 2013, COMPLETED BY JUNE 30, 2014.
PART VI, LINE 3: A "NOTICE TO PATIENTS" IS POSTED AT INPATIENT AND EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT ADMITTING LOCATIONS. THE NOTICE CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING LANGUAGE: "AN UNINSURED DISCOUNT POLICY IS AVAILABLE TO PATIENTS WITHOUT INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR MEDICALLY NECESSARY SERVICES. A CHARITY CARE DISCOUNT POLICY IS AVAILABLE FOR CERTAIN QUALIFYING PATIENTS." CHARITY CARE AND DISCOUNT POLICIES ARE AVAILABLE ON THE ORGANIZATION'S WEBSITE IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH. AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER ADMISSION, ALL UNINSURED PATIENTS ARE SCREENED BY AN ON-SITE THIRD-PARTY FIRM HIRED SPECIFICALLY TO DETERMINE IF PATIENTS MEET GOVERNMENT PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA. THE FIRM'S PERSONNEL ARE SPECIFICALLY TRAINED IN MEDICAID, MEDICARE AND OTHER GOVERNMENT PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA AND APPLICATION PROCEDURES. IF THE PATIENT MEETS PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA, THEN ASSISTANCE IS PROVIDED TO THE PATIENT FOR ENROLLMENT. IF THE PATIENT DOES NOT MEET PROGRAM QUALIFICATIONS, THE PATIENT IS GIVEN A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION AND LETTER. HOSPITAL STAFF EXPLAIN THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, WHAT THE QUALIFICATIONS ARE FOR ASSISTANCE, AND WHAT DOCUMENTATION IS REQUIRED IN ORDER FOR PATIENTS TO RECEIVE ASSISTANCE. HOSPITAL REGISTRAR STAFF IS TRAINED IN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. THE PATIENT IS THEN ASKED TO COMPLETE AND RETURN THE DOCUMENTATION. A PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR CHARITY CARE IF HOUSEHOLD INCOME IS AT OR BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL.
PART VI, LINE 4: RAPIDES REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER'S PRIMARY COMMUNITY SERVED IS A THREE-PARISH (COUNTY) SERVICE AREA IN CENTRAL LOUISIANA, INCLUDING AVOYELLES, GRANT AND RAPIDES PARISHES. THE SERVICE AREA IS LARGELY RURAL AND ECONOMICALLY CHALLENGED. THE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME FOR 2007-2011 VARIED FROM A LOW OF $32,321 IN AVOYELLES PARISH TO A HIGH OF $40,470 IN RAPIDES PARISH, STILL SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN THE STATE AVERAGE OF $44,086 AND US AVERAGE OF $52,762 DURING THE SAME PERIOD. IN AVOYELLES PARISH, 23.9% OF THE POPULATION WAS BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL, WHILE 18.8% WERE IN RAPIDES, AND 16.6% WERE IN GRANT. IN THE US, ONLY 14.3% OF THE POPULATION LIVES BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL. IN TERMS OF EDUCATION LEVEL, ONLY 70.2% OF AVOYELLES RESIDENTS ARE HIGH-SCHOOL GRADUATES; 77.1% OF GRANT RESIDENTS; AND 81.8% OF RAPIDES RESIDENTS. NATIONALLY, 85.4% OF THE US POPULATION HOLDS A HIGH-SCHOOL DEGREE. IN TERMS OF HIGHER EDUCATION, ONLY 9.6% OF AVOYELLES RESIDENTS HOLD BACHELOR DEGREES; 10.6% OF GRANT RESIDENTS; AND 18.5% OF RAPIDES RESIDENTS. NATIONALLY, 28.2% OF THE POPULATION HOLDS A BACHELOR DEGREE. HEALTH CHALLENGES IN THE COMMUNITY INCLUDE 22.3% OF THE POPULATION REPORTING A LACK OF MEDICAL INSURANCE, COMPARED TO 14.9% FOR THE US. REPORTED PREVALENCE OF DIABETES IN THE AREA IS 15.8% COMPARED TO 10.1% NATIONALLY. IN 2012, 42% OF THE POPULATION OF AVOYELLES WAS ENROLLED IN MEDICAID, 32% OF GRANT RESIDENTS, AND 35% OF RAPIDES RESIDENTS. ALL THREE PARISHES ARE DESIGNATED AS PRIMARY CARE HRSAS (HEALTH PROFESSIONAL SHORTAGE AREAS). HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE WAS REPORTED BY 44.8% OF THE POPULATION, COMPARED TO 34.3% NATIONALLY. HEART DISEASE PREVALENCE IS 14.4%, MORE THAN DOUBLE THE NATIONAL PREVALENCE OF 6.1%. THE THREE PARISHES ARE SERVED BY TWO TERTIARY-CARE, ACUTE-CARE HOSPITALS - RRMC AND ONE OTHER. ALSO IN THE REGION ARE A VETERAN'S ACUTE-CARE HOSPITAL, A PHYSICIAN-OWNED SURGICAL HOSPITAL, A RURAL CRITICAL-ACCESS FACILITY, ONE SMALL RURAL ACUTE-CARE FACILITY, AND A PUBLIC FACILITY WITH EMERGENCY AND CLINIC SERVICES BUT EXTREMELY LIMITED ACUTE-CARE SERVICES.
PART VI, LINE 5: RAPIDES REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER MAINTAINS AN OPEN MEDICAL STAFF; MEDICAL STAFF CREDENTIALING IS STRICTLY BASED UPON EDUCATION, CERTIFICATION AND OTHER GENERALLY ACCEPTED OBJECTIVE PROFESSIONAL REQUIREMENTS. THE HOSPITAL MAINTAINS AN OPEN EMERGENCY ROOM, TREATING ALL PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. THE HOSPITAL ACCEPTS MEDICARE, MEDICAID AND OTHER GOVERNMENT-INSURED PATIENTS, DESPITE THE FACT THAT PAYMENTS FROM THESE PROGRAMS DO NOT NORMALLY REIMBURSE THE HOSPITAL FULLY FOR THE COSTS OF SERVICES RENDERED TO PATIENTS. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE RAPIDES HEALTHCARE SYSTEM (RHS) AND THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF RAPIDES REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER BOTH INCLUDE MEMBERS OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY, WHO ARE FOCUSED ON THE QUALITY OF HEALTHCARE AND AVAILABILITY OF MEDICAL SERVICES IN THEIR COMMUNITY. THE RHS BOARD HAS A STANDING COMMUNITY BENEFIT COMMITTEE. BOTH BOARDS OF DIRECTORS AND THE HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT TEAM ARE HEAVILY FOCUSED ON QUALITY AND SAFETY, AND THE HOSPITAL INVESTS IN SERVICES AND TECHNOLOGY NECESSARY TO PROVIDE THE BEST CARE POSSIBLE FOR PATIENTS. WITH A 2012 OVERALL RISK-ADJUSTED COMPLICATIONS INDEX OF 0.87, RRMC PROVIDED TOP-LEVEL PATIENT-CARE OUTCOMES. FOR THE SECOND YEAR, U.S. NEWS AND WORLD REPORTS' 2012-2013 RANKINGS OF BEST HOSPITALS RECOGNIZED RAPIDES REGIONAL AS NO. 3 IN LOUISIANA. ADDITIONALLY, FOR THE SECOND YEAR, THE HOSPITAL WAS NAMED A TOP PERFORMER ON KEY QUALITY MEASURES FOR EXCELLENCE IN ACCOUNTABILITY MEASURE PERFORMANCE BY THE JOINT COMMISSION. RAPIDES REGIONAL WAS RECOGNIZED IN MODERN HEALTHCARE MAGAZINE AS RECEIVING THE 2012/2013 CONSUMER CHOICE AWARD IN ITS MARKET BASED ON NATIONAL RESEARCH CORPORATION CONSUMER SURVEYS ON QUALITY HEALTHCARE SERVICES. THE HOSPITAL ALSO RECEIVED THE 2012/2013 HHS ORGAN DONATION SILVER MEDAL OF HONOR. RAPIDES REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER IS CERTIFIED AS ONE OF LOUISIANA'S TWO LEVEL II TRAUMA CENTERS, WHICH BENEFITS CENTRAL LOUISIANA BY PROVIDING ACCESS TO TRAUMA CARE DURING THE CRITICAL FIRST 60 MINUTES FOLLOWING A TRAUMATIC INJURY, THEREBY REDUCING MORTALITY RATES FROM SUCH INJURIES IN THE REGION. THE FACILITY IS ALSO CERTIFIED AS AN ADVANCED PRIMARY STROKE CENTER AND AN ACCREDITED CYCLE III CHEST PAIN CENTER THE ONLY ONE IN CENTRAL LOUISIANA. WITH AN ANNUAL PAYROLL OF $21 MILLION (RAPIDES FOUNDATION OWNERSHIP PERCENTAGE SHARE), RHS IS A SIGNIFICANT EMPLOYER IN ITS COMMUNITIES AND PAID $0.5 MILLION (RAPIDES FOUNDATION SHARE) IN PROPERTY TAXES DURING 2012 THAT SUPPORTED SUCH EFFORTS AS SCHOOLS, ROADS AND OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS. IN ADDITION TO THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROVIDED BY RAPIDES HEALTHCARE SYSTEM, THE RAPIDES FOUNDATION'S 2012 PHILANTHROPIC ACTIVITIES PROVIDED AN ADDITIONAL $9.7 MILLION IN COMMUNITY BENEFIT TO ITS NINE-PARISH SERVICE AREA. THIS INCLUDED GRANTS OF $6.9 MILLION AND DIRECT CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES OF $2.2 MILLION IN THREE PRIMARY AREAS OF FOCUS: HEALTHY PEOPLE, HEALTHY COMMUNITIES, AND EDUCATION.

PROCEDURE FOR MONITORING GRANTS IN THE U.S.:	PART I, LINE 2:	SCHEDULE I, PART I, LINE 2: PRIOR TO FUNDING, GRANTEES DEVELOP AND SUBMIT FOR APPROVAL A WORK PLAN AND BUDGET FOR USE OF THE GRANT FUNDS AWARDED. ON A QUARTERLY OR SEMI-ANNUAL BASIS, THE RAPIDES FOUNDATION (TRF) REQUIRES THAT GRANTEES SUBMIT NARRATIVE REPORTS AND BUDGET EXPENDITURE REPORTS, WHICH COMPARE ACTUAL ACTIVITIES COMPLETED TO APPROVED WORK PLANS AND ACTUAL EXPENDITURES TO APPROVED BUDGETS. AT THE END OF THE GRANT TERM, THE GRANTEES ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT SIMILAR CUMULATIVE REPORTS DETAILING THE INTERVENTIONS COMPLETED, EVALUATING THEIR EFFECTIVENESS AND ITEMIZING EXPENSES COMPARED TO THE APPROVED BUDGETS. UNSPENT FUNDS MUST BE REPAID TO THE FOUNDATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH WRITTEN GRANT AGREEMENTS. GRANTEES MAY SUBMIT REQUESTS TO APPROVE BUDGET LINE ITEM CHANGES. AS A PRACTICE TRF DOES NOT APPROVE WORK PLAN OR BUDGET CHANGES WHICH DIVERGE FROM THE ORIGINAL GRANT PURPOSE AND INTENT. TRF, AT ITS EXPENSE AND OPTION, PERFORMS RANDOM, PERIODIC REVIEWS OF THE GRANTEES' INTERNAL RECORDS TO VERIFY THE ACCURACY OF REPORTING. IF APPROPRIATE, REPAYMENT OF INAPPROPRIATE EXPENDITURES IS REQUESTED. FAILURE TO REPORT EXPENDITURES OR TO REPAY UNSPENT OR INAPPROPRIATELY SPENT FUNDS WILL RESULT IN 1) WITHHOLDING OF ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS ON EXISTING GRANTS OR 2) PREVENT CONSIDERATION OF FUTURE GRANT REQUESTS. LARGE GRANT INITIATIVES ARE EVALUATED BY TRF UTILIZING THIRD-PARTY EVALUATION FIRMS. THE EVALUATIONS MEASURE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE CHOSEN INTERVENTION IN ACHIEVING THE INITIATIVE INTENDED OUTCOMES AS WELL AS THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE INITIATIVE IMPLEMENTATION. EVALUATIONS SERVE TO PROVIDE TRF FEEDBACK WHICH CAN BE UTILIZED TO IMPROVE PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION.
SCHEDULE I, PART II		DURING 2012, THE RAPIDES FOUNDATION RECORDED AMENDMENTS TO GRANTS IN THE AMOUNT OF $649,014. THE AMENDMENTS LARGELY RELATED TO PRIOR YEAR GRANTS AND COULD NOT BE ALLOCATED AMONG CURRENT YEAR GRANTS. THEREFORE, ON SCHEDULE I PART II, THERE ARE THREE NEGATIVE GRANT AMOUNTS THAT CORRESPOND TO THE AMOUNT OF AMENDMENTS PER EACH GRANT PURPOSE.
