LAB ELIGIBILITY FOR DISCOUNTED CARE SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 3C NOT APPLICABLE. COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 6A NOT APPLICABLE. SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7 NO COSTS RELATING TO SUBSIDIZED HEALTHCARE SERVICES ARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO ANY PHYSICIAN CLINICS. CHARITY CARE AND CERTAIN OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFIT COST SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7 A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO WAS USED, THE SOURCE BEING THE MEDICARE COST REPORT FOR FY 2012, ADJUSTED FOR CERTAIN COSTS WHICH ARE PARTICULAR TO MEDICARE COST REPORTING, BUT NOT APPROPRIATE FOR PART 1, LINE 7. E.G. REMOVING THE REASONABLE COST EQUIVALENT FOR PHYSICIAN SERVICES IN W/S A-8-2 AND REMOVING THE RELATED PARTY COSTS (OTHER THAN HOME OFFICE). WORKSHEET 2, "RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST-TO-CHARGES" WAS USED TO COMPLETE THE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO USED IN PART 1, LINE 7. COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES SCHEDULE H, PART II KENT COUNTY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL HAS DIRECT INVOLVEMENT IN NUMEROUS COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES THAT PROMOTE AND IMPROVE THE HEALTH STATUS AND GENERAL BETTERMENT OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY THE HOSPITAL. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH SERVICE ON STATE AND REGIONAL ADVOCACY COMMITTEES AND BOARDS, VOLUNTEERISM WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY-BASED NON-PROFIT ADVOCACY GROUPS, AND PARTICIPATION IN CONFERENCES AND OTHER EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES TO PROMOTE UNDERSTANDING OF THE ROOT CAUSES OF HEALTH CONCERNS. THIS ORGANIZATION PROVIDES EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS, CONDUCTS COMMUNITY HEALTH FAIRS AND HOLDS HEALTH EDUCATION SEMINARS AND OUTREACH SESSIONS FOR ITS PATIENTS AND FOR COMMUNITY PROVIDERS. PRESENTATIONS ARE PROVIDED BY PHYSICIANS, NURSES AND OTHER HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS. BAD DEBT EXPENSE SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A, LINE 4 BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS CALCULATED USING THE ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT EXPENSE FROM ITS AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, NET OF ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AT CHARGES. THE ORGANIZATION AND ITS AFFILIATES PREPARE AND ISSUE AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. EACH OF THE SYSTEM'S THREE HOSPITALS HAVE AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS (BAD DEBT EXPENSE) METHODOLOGY AND CHARITY CARE POLICIES. THE ATTACHED TEXT WAS OBTAINED FROM THE FOOTNOTES TO THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE ORGANIZATION. NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE THE HOSPITALS AND THE AGENCY HAVE INDIVIDUAL AGREEMENTS WITH MANY THIRD-PARTY PAYORS THAT PROVIDE PAYMENTS AT AMOUNTS DIFFERENT FROM THEIR ESTABLISHED RATES. PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS INCLUDE PROSPECTIVELY DETERMINED RATES PER DISCHARGE, REIMBURSED COSTS, DISCOUNTED CHARGES, AND PER-DIEM PAYMENTS. NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IS REPORTED AT ESTIMATED NET REALIZABLE AMOUNTS FROM PATIENTS, THIRD-PARTY PAYORS, AND OTHERS FOR SERVICES RENDERED, AND INCLUDES ESTIMATED RETROACTIVE REVENUE ADJUSTMENTS DUE TO SUCH THINGS AS FUTURE AUDITS AND REVIEWS. RETROACTIVE ADJUSTMENTS ARE CONSIDERED IN THE RECOGNITION OF REVENUE ON AN ESTIMATED BASIS IN THE PERIOD THE RELATED SERVICES ARE RENDERED, AND SUCH AMOUNTS ARE ADJUSTED IN FUTURE PERIODS AS ADJUSTMENTS BECOME KNOWN, OR AS YEARS ARE NO LONGER SUBJECT TO SUCH ADJUSTMENTS. CHARITY CARE THE HEALTH SYSTEM PROVIDES CARE TO PATIENTS WHO MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA UNDER THEIR CHARITY CARE POLICIES WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ESTABLISHED RATES. BECAUSE THE HEALTH SYSTEM DOES NOT PURSUE COLLECTION OF AMOUNTS DETERMINED TO QUALIFY AS CHARITY CARE, THEY ARE NOT REPORTED AS NET PATIENT REVENUE. COMMUNITY BENEFIT SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B; QUESTION 8 THE INPATIENT MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS WERE DETERMINED FROM THE SUBMITTED FY 2012 MEDICARE COST REPORT, WORKSHEET D-1, LINE 49, LESS PARA-MED COSTS, WHICH ARE INCLUDED IN PART 1, LINE 7(F). WORKSHEET D-1, LINE 49, DOES NOT INCLUDE DIRECT GME COSTS. THE OUTPATIENT ALLOWABLE COSTS COME FROM WORKSHEET E, PART B. BAD DEBT IS COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THE ORGANIZATION FEELS THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE 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 PROMULGATED 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") 501(C)(3). THE ORGANIZATION IS RECOGNIZED AS A TAX-EXEMPT ENTITY AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER 501(C)(3) OF THE IRC. 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 "[T]HE TERM CHARITABLE IS USED IN 501(C)(3) IN ITS GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE," AND PROVIDES EXAMPLES OF CHARITABLE PURPOSES, INCLUDING THE RELIEF OF THE POOR 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 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. CHARITY CARE STANDARD IN 1956, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 56-185, WHICH ADDRESSED THE REQUIREMENTS HOSPITALS NEEDED TO MEET IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR IRC 501(C)(3) STATUS. ONE OF THESE REQUIREMENTS IS KNOWN AS THE "CHARITY CARE STANDARD." UNDER THE STANDARD, A HOSPITAL HAD TO PROVIDE, TO THE EXTENT OF ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY, FREE OR REDUCED-COST CARE TO PATIENTS UNABLE TO PAY FOR IT. A HOSPITAL THAT EXPECTED FULL PAYMENT DID NOT, ACCORDING TO THE RULING, PROVIDE CHARITY CARE BASED ON THE FACT THAT SOME PATIENTS ULTIMATELY FAILED TO PAY. THE RULING EMPHASIZED THAT A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE DID NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT A HOSPITAL HAD FAILED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENT SINCE THAT LEVEL COULD REFLECT ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PROVIDE SUCH CARE. THE RULING ALSO NOTED THAT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED COMMUNITY HOSPITALS WOULD NORMALLY QUALIFY AS CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS BECAUSE THEY SERVE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY, AND A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE WOULD NOT AFFECT A HOSPITAL'S EXEMPT STATUS IF IT WAS DUE TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY'S LACK OF CHARITABLE DEMANDS. COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IN 1969, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH "REMOVE[D]" FROM REVENUE RULING 56-185 "THE REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO CARING FOR PATIENTS WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT RATES BELOW COST." UNDER THE STANDARD DEVELOPED IN REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE "COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD," HOSPITALS ARE JUDGED ON WHETHER THEY PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF A BROAD CLASS OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE RULING INVOLVED A HOSPITAL THAT ONLY ADMITTED INDIVIDUALS WHO COULD PAY FOR THE SERVICES (BY THEMSELVES, PRIVATE INSURANCE, OR PUBLIC PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICARE), BUT OPERATED A FULL-TIME EMERGENCY ROOM THAT WAS OPEN TO EVERYONE. THE IRS RULED THAT THE HOSPITAL QUALIFIED AS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION BECAUSE IT PROMOTED THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN ITS COMMUNITY. THE IRS REASONED THAT BECAUSE THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH WAS A CHARITABLE PURPOSE ACCORDING TO THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY, IT FELL WITHIN THE "GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE" OF THE TERM "CHARITABLE," AS REQUIRED BY TREAS. REG. 1.501(C)(3)-1(D)(2). THE IRS RULING STATED THAT THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH, LIKE THE RELIEF OF POVERTY AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION AND RELIGION, IS ONE OF THE PURPOSES IN THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY THAT IS DEEMED BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE EVEN THOUGH THE CLASS OF BENEFICIARIES ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A DIRECT BENEFIT FROM ITS ACTIVITIES DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, SUCH AS INDIGENT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, PROVIDED THAT THE CLASS IS NOT SO SMALL THAT ITS RELIEF IS NOT OF BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. THE IRS CONCLUDED THAT THE HOSPITAL WAS "PROMOTING THE HEALTH OF A CLASS OF PERSONS THAT IS BROAD ENOUGH TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY" BECAUSE ITS EMERGENCY ROOM WAS OPEN TO ALL AND IT PROVIDED CARE TO EVERYONE WHO COULD PAY, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT. OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HOSPITAL THAT THE IRS HIGHLIGHTED INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING: ITS SURPLUS FUNDS WERE USED TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE, EXPAND HOSPITAL FACILITIES, AND ADVANCE MEDICAL TRAINING, EDUCATION, AND RESEARCH; IT WAS CONTROLLED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES THAT CONSISTED OF INDEPENDENT CIVIC LEADERS; AND HOSPITAL MEDICAL STAFF PRIVILEGES WERE AVAILABLE TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS. THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION ("AHA") FEELS THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THIS ORGANIZATION AGREES WITH THE AHA POSITION. AS OUTLINED IN THE AHA LETTER TO THE IRS DATED AUGUST 21, 2007 WITH RESPECT TO THE FIRST PUBLISHED DRAFT OF THE NEW FORM 990 AND SCHEDULE H, THE AHA FELT THAT THE IRS SHOULD INCORPORATE THE FULL VALUE OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT THAT HOSPITALS PROVIDE BY COUNTING MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS. - PROVIDING CARE FOR THE ELDERLY AND SERVING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD. - MEDICARE, LIKE MEDICAID, DOES NOT PAY THE FULL COST OF CARE. RECENTLY, MEDICARE REIMBURSES HOSPITALS ONLY 92 CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR THEY SPEND TO TAKE CARE OF MEDICARE PATIENTS. THE MEDICARE PAYMENT ADVISORY COMMISSION ("MEDPAC") IN ITS MARCH 2007 REPORT TO CONGRESS CAUTIONED THAT UNDERPAYMENT WILL GET EVEN WORSE, WITH MARGINS REACHING A 10-YEAR LOW AT NEGATIVE 5.4 PERCENT. - MANY MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE POOR. MORE THAN 46 PERCENT OF MEDICARE SPENDING IS FOR BENEFICIARIES WHOSE INCOME IS BELOW 200 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. MANY OF THOSE MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID -- SO CALLED "DUAL ELIGIBLES." THERE IS EVERY COMPELLING PUBLIC POLICY REASON TO TREAT MEDICARE AND MEDICAID UNDERPAYMENTS SIMILARLY FOR PURPOSES OF A HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND INCLUDE THESE COSTS ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT MUST BE SHOULDERED BY THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE COMMUNITY'S ELDERLY AND POOR. THESE UNDERPAYMENTS REPRESENT A REAL COST OF SERVING THE COMMUNITY AND SHOULD COUNT AS A QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT. BOTH THE AHA AND THIS ORGANIZATION ALSO FEEL THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. LIKE MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT (SHORTFALLS), THERE ALSO ARE COMPELLING REASONS THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT SHOULD BE COUNTED AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS FOLLOWS: - A SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO LOW-INCOME PATIENTS, WHO, FOR MANY REASONS, DECLINE TO COMPLETE THE FORMS REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH ELIGIBILITY FOR HOSPITALS' CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. A 2006 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE ("CBO") REPORT, NONPROFIT HOSPITALS AND THE PROVISION OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS, CITED TWO STUDIES INDICATING THAT "THE GREAT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT WAS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WITH INCOME BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE." - THE REPORT ALSO NOTED THAT A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. UNLIKE BAD DEBT IN OTHER INDUSTRIES, HOSPITAL BAD DEBT IS COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT HOSPITALS FOLLOW THEIR MISSION TO THE COMMUNITY AND TREAT EVERY PATIENT THAT COMES THROUGH THEIR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. PATIENTS WHO HAVE OUTSTANDING BILLS ARE NOT TURNED AWAY, UNLIKE OTHER INDUSTRIES. BAD DEBT IS FURTHER COMPLICATED BY THE AUDITING INDUSTRY'S STANDARDS ON REPORTING CHARITY CARE. MANY PATIENTS CANNOT OR DO NOT PROVIDE THE NECESSARY, EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED TO BE DEEMED CHARITY CARE BY AUDITORS. AS A RESULT, ROUGHLY 40% OF COLLECTION POLICY SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION C; QUESTION 9B KENT COUNTY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL DOES NOT PURSUE COLLECTION FOR THOSE PATIENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR 100% FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, BUT OUR NORMAL COLLECTION POLICY WOULD APPLY FOR PATIENTS RECEIVING PARTIAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE (DISCOUNTED BY REASON OF INCOME/ASSETS ON THE FPG BETWEEN 200% AND 300%) OR FACING EXTREME HARDSHIPS. FACILITY INFORMATION SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTIONS 1J, 3, 4, 5C, 6I & 7 NOT APPLICABLE. FACILITY INFORMATION SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QS 9,10,11H,13G,15E,16E,17E,18D,20&21 NOT APPLICABLE. FACILITY INFORMATION SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 19D THE FACILITY HAS A LONGSTANDING POLICY OF PROVIDING UNINSURED PATIENTS A 30% DISCOUNT FROM CHARGES. THIS PERCENTAGE WAS AN APPROXIMATION OF THE AVERAGE PAYMENT RATES FOR NONGOVERNMENTAL PAYORS ACROSS THE SYSTEM. ADDITIONAL DISCOUNTS ARE PROVIDED FOR ADVANCE OR PROMPT PAYMENTS. NEEDS ASSESSMENT SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 2 THE ORGANIZATION CONTINUALLY REVIEWS AND EVALUATES CURRENT AND PROPOSED PROGRAMS TO ENSURE THAT PROGRAMS OFFERING THE MOST BENEFIT WILL CONTINUE TO BE SUPPORTED BY THE HOSPITAL. THE HOSPITAL ALIGNS ITS COMMUNITY PROGRAMS IN SUPPORT OF THE RHODE ISLAND DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH HEALTHY PEOPLE 2010 INITIATIVES: OBJECTIVE 2: OVERWEIGHT AND OBESITY, OBJECTIVE 3: TOBACCO USE, OBJECTIVE 9: IMMUNIZATION AND OBJECTIVE 10: ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE. THESE WILL BE UPDATED WITH NEW STATEWIDE GUIDELINES DUE OUT LATER THIS YEAR. PLEASE REFER TO SCHEDULE O FOR A DETAILED COMMUNITY BENEFIT STATEMENT. PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 3 AS A NOT FOR-PROFIT ENTITY, KENT COUNTY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL'S FIRST CONSIDERATION IN THE ADMISSION AND PLACEMENT OR TREATMENT OF ANY PATIENT IS THE PATIENT'S MEDICAL NEEDS. SOME PATIENTS HESITATE TO OBTAIN NECESSARY CARE BECAUSE OF THEIR FINANCIAL CONCERNS. A NOTICE OF FINANCIAL AID APPEARS ON ALL STATEMENTS SENT TO PATIENTS. ALSO, IT IS PROMINENTLY POSTED IN THE PATIENT ASSESSMENT DEPARTMENT, ADMISSION AREAS, OUTPATIENT CARE AREAS AND ON THE ORGANIZATION'S WEBSITE. ALSO, THE NOTICE IS AVAILABLE IN THE THREE MOST COMMON LANGUAGES USED BY THE PATIENT POPULATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE "STANDARDS FOR CULTURALLY AND LINGUISTICALLY APPROPRIATE SERVICES IN HEALTHCARE" (STANDARDS 4 AND 7, BASED ON TITLE VI OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964). UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED PATIENTS ARE COUNSELED AT THE POINT OF SERVICE OR DURING THE BILLING PROCESS ABOUT ANY FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL PROGRAMS THAT THEY MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR, AND ASSISTANCE WITH APPLICATIONS IS ALSO PROVIDED. COMMUNITY INFORMATION SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 4 KENT COUNTY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREA CONSISTS OF A SUBURBAN POPULATION IN WARWICK, RHODE ISLAND WITH A TOTAL POPULATION OF APPROXIMATELY 165,000. THE AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD INCOME IS $72,266. NO OTHER HOSPITAL SERVES THE PRIMARY SERVICE AREA AND A SIGNIFICANT PERCENT OF HOSPITAL DISCHARGES ARE MEDICARE, MEDICAID AND UNINSURED PATIENTS. AS OF THE 2012 DEMOGRAPHIC SNAPSHOT FROM TRUVEN HEALTH ANALYTICS, WARWICK CONSISTED OF THE FOLLOWING GROUPS: 91.0% OF THE POPULATION WERE CAUCASIAN, 3.5% OF THE POPULATION WERE HISPANICS AND LATINOS OF ANY RACE AND 1.4% WERE BLACK OR AFRICAN AMERICAN. PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 5 THE ORGANIZATION AND THE ENTIRE CARE NEW ENGLAND HEALTH SYSTEM PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY ON A DAILY BASIS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THE SYSTEM COORDINATES AND OFFERS NUMEROUS COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS, ACTIVITIES AND SUPPORT GROUPS TO THE COMMUNITY. PLEASE REFER TO SCHEDULE O FOR A DETAILED COMMUNITY BENEFIT STATEMENT.
