PART I, LINE 7G: SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES WERE FOR INPATIENT REHAB AND LAURELWOOD (MENTAL HEALTH). NO COSTS WERE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PHYSICIAN CLINICS.
PART I, L7 COL(F): $66,675,307 IN BAD DEBT EXPENSES WERE SUBTRACTED FROM FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25 FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE IN THIS COLUMN.
PART II: IT IS WELL DOCUMENTED THAT MANY FACTORS COMBINE TO AFFECT THE HEALTH OF INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES. WHETHER PEOPLE ARE HEALTHY OR NOT IS DETERMINED BY THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES AND THEIR ENVIRONMENT ACCORDING TO THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION. TO A LARGE EXTENT, FACTORS SUCH AS WHERE WE LIVE, THE STATE OF OUR ENVIRONMENT, GENETICS, OUR INCOME AND EDUCATION LEVEL, AND OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY ALL HAVE CONSIDERABLE IMPACTS ON HEALTH. THE DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH INCLUDE THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT, THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT, AND A PERSON'S INDIVIDUAL CHARACTERISTICS AND BEHAVIORS. ADDITIONAL FACTORS THAT RELATE INCLUDE EDUCATION, CULTURE, INCOME AND SOCIAL STATUS, EMPLOYMENT AND WORKING CONDITIONS, SOCIAL SUPPORT NETWORKS, GENETICS, HEALTH SERVICES, AND GENDER. IF COMMUNITY MEMBERS HAVE ADEQUATE EDUCATION, EMPLOYMENT, INCOME, A SAFE ENVIRONMENT AND SUPPORTIVE SOCIAL NETWORKS, THEY WILL HAVE THE CAPACITY TO MAKE HEALTHIER BEHAVIOR CHOICES AND BE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES. THEREFORE, NGMC AS AN ORGANIZATION MUST CONSIDER THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH STATUS AS PART OF PREVENTATIVE CARE.A FEW OF SOME COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES INCLUDED IN PART II INCLUDE:NGMC'S SUPPORT OF FOOTHILLS AREA HEALTH EDUCATION NETWORKNGMC HAS A UNIQUE PARTNERSHIP WITH FOOTHILLS AREA HEALTH EDUCATION CENTER (AHEC). THE MISSION FOR FOOTHILLS AHEC IS TO INCREASE THE SUPPLY AND DISTRIBUTION OF HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, ESPECIALLY IN MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREAS.

(THE ASSOCIATION FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT (ACHI) IS A PUBLIC HEALTH ORGANIZATION FOUNDED IN 2002. IT IS A PROGRAM OF THE HEALTH RESEARCH AND EDUCATIONAL TRUST AND AN AFFILIATE OF THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION.) NGMC ALSO PARTNERED WITH THE HALL COUNTY FAMILY CONNECTION TO PRODUCE THE HALL LIFE REPORT. THE PURPOSE OF THIS "PUBLIC STATUS REPORT ON CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN HALL COUNTY," IS TO PROVIDE POLICY STAKEHOLDERS, PUBLIC AGENCY PROGRAM PERSONNEL, PRIVATE PROVIDERS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS WITH UPDATED INDICATOR DATA TO INFORM CURRENT POLICY DISCUSSIONS AND DECISION-MAKING. THE HALL LIFE REPORT IDENTIFIES THE STATUS OF LEADING INDICATORS FOR EXCELLENCE. THE FIVE TOPIC AREAS USED IN THIS REPORT ARE CURRENTLY THE SAME AS THOSE USED BY THE FAMILY CONNECTION PARTNERSHIP AT THE STATE LEVEL AS THEY PRODUCE AND DISSEMINATE THE ANNUAL KIDS COUNT DATA FOR THE STATE OF GEORGIA. THEY ARE: HEALTHY CHILDREN, CHILDREN READY FOR SCHOOL, CHILDREN SUCCEEDING IN SCHOOL, STABLE AND SELF SUFFICIENT FAMILIES, AND STRONG COMMUNITIES. THIS REPORT CAN BE FOUND AT WWW.HCFCN.ORG.ADDITIONALLY, NGMC HAS PARTNERED WITH OTHER HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS IN THE COMMUNITY TO FORM THE HEALTHCARE INITIATIVE CONSORTIUM. THIS GROUP IS WORKING WITH A LOCAL UNIVERSITY TO DEVELOP AN ONGOING DATABASE OF FIVE DATA ELEMENTS THAT WILL GIVE THE COMMUNITY UP-TO-DATE INFORMATION ON THE HEALTH ISSUES AFFECTING ITS RESIDENTS. THE FIVE DATA ELEMENTS BEING PLANNED TO COLLECT ARE: BMI (HEIGHT/WEIGHT), A1C, BLOOD PRESSURE, CHOLESTEROL, LDL, AND MICRO ALBUMEN. THIS WILL GIVE US INFORMATION RELATED TO THE FOLLOWING HEALTH ISSUES: OBESITY, DIABETES, CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE AND HYPERTENSION.COUNTY BY COUNTY DATA HAS ALSO BEEN MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE "PARTNER UP! FOR PUBLIC HEALTH CAMPAIGN." THIS IS A STATE WIDE ADVOCACY CAMPAIGN FUNDED BY THE HEALTHCARE GEORGIA FOUNDATION DESIGNED TO ADVANCE PUBLIC HEALTH IN GEORGIA. MORE INFORMATION AND THE DATA BY COUNTY CAN BE FOUND AT WWW.TOGETHERWECANDOBETTER.COM. THE HALL COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT ALSO SHARES ITS HEALTH RISK SNAPSHOTS FOR COUNTIES IN THE SERVICE AREA, WHICH FOCUSES ON POPULATION TRENDS, YOUTH RISK, INFANT RISK, GENERAL RISK, STUDENT SUBSTANCE ABUSE, TOP CAUSES OF DEATH AND WIC NUTRITION PROGRAM INFORMATION.
PART VI, LINE 3: NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER POSTS NOTICES AT ALL REGISTRATION AREAS TO INFORM PATIENTS AND FAMILIES OF THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ALL UNINSURED PATIENTS ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL ARE CONTACTED BY THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DEPARTMENT AND SCREENED FOR ELIGIBILITY FOR MEDICAID, INDIGENT CARE, AND OTHER ASSISTANCE AS APPROPRIATE. THE CHARITY/INDIGENT POLICY AND INFORMATION FOR APPLICATION FOR THESE FUNDS IS PRINTED IN THE FINANCIAL SECTION OF THE PATIENT HANDBOOK. THE SAME MESSAGE IS PRINTED ON ALL PATIENT STATEMENTS AND IS POSTED ON THE ORGANIZATION'S WEBSITE AS WELL.
PART VI, LINE 4: THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S TOTAL SERVICE AREA ("TSA") EXPERIENCED AN AVERAGE POPULATION GROWTH OF 3.4% PER YEAR FROM 2000 TO 2010; THIS WAS DOUBLE THE STATE RATE OF 1.7% FOR GEORGIA OVER THAT SAME 10-YEAR TIME PERIOD. PROJECTING OUT TO 2014, THE TSA'S POPULATION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE GROWING AT A SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER RATE THAN GEORGIA AS A WHOLE. SIGNIFICANT POPULATION GROWTH IN THE SERVICE AREA WILL CONTINUE TO DRIVE ABOVE AVERAGE DEMAND FOR HEALTH CARE SERVICES.UNEMPLOYMENT DATA FOR THE REGION ILLUSTRATES THE REGION'S ECONOMY IS MORE RESILIENT THAN THAT OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA AND THE NATION AS A WHOLE DURING ECONOMIC DOWNTURNS.IN 2013, NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER BROKE GROUND ON A NEW 100-BED INPATIENT HOSPITAL AT NGMC'S RIVER PLACE CAMPUS IN THE SOUTHEASTERN CORNER OF HALL COUNTY. THE PROPERTY COMPRISES 119 ACRES AND CURRENTLY CONTAINS ONE MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING HOUSING MEDICAL-PRACTICE AND OTHER MEDICAL-RELATED OFFICES. AT LEAST TWO MORE MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDINGS ARE PLANNED FOR THE RIVER PLACE CAMPUS. (NOTE: THE STATE OF GEORGIA REGULATES THE CONSTRUCTION OF NEW HOSPITALS AND HOSPITAL BEDS ALONG WITH A VARIETY OF OTHER HEALTHCARE SERVICES AND RELATED EXPENDITURES THROUGH ITS CERTIFICATE OF NEED ("CON") LAW. GAINING REGULATORY APPROVAL IN LATE 2006, NGMC'S NEW HOSPITAL IS THE FIRST INCREMENTAL HOSPITAL (I.E., NOT A REPLACEMENT OR CONSOLIDATION OF EXISTING HOSPITAL(S)) APPROVED IN GEORGIA IN MORE THAN 20 YEARS. THE LAST DECADE OR MORE OF POPULATION GROWTH IN THIS AREA OF THE STATE HAS RESULTED IN HIGH, UNMET DEMAND FOR INPATIENT HOSPITAL BEDS ACCORDING TO THE STATE'S OWN CON "NEED" CALCULATIONS.)IN LATE 2011, NGMC AND THE GREATER HALL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ENGAGED GEORGIA TECH'S ENTERPRISE INNOVATION INSTITUTE TO EXAMINE THE POTENTIAL FISCAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF THE NEW HOSPITAL. OVERALL, THE FISCAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF THE HOSPITAL AND MEDICAL OFFICE COMPLEX ARE VERY ADVANTAGEOUS TO THE COUNTY GOVERNMENT AND TO THE COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT. SOME OF THE STUDY'S RESULTS ARE AS FOLLOWS: - IMPACT: THE FISCAL IMPACT OF THE HOSPITAL ON HALL COUNTY'S GOVERNMENT IS MEASURED BY THE 20-YEAR NPV (NET PRESENT VALUE), WHICH COMES TO $3,770,955. - IMPACT: THE FISCAL IMPACT OF THE HOSPITAL ON HALL COUNTY'S SCHOOL SYSTEM COMES TO A 20-YEAR NPV OF $4,973,998. - IMPACT: THE FISCAL IMPACT OF THE MEDICAL OFFICE COMPLEX OF PROVIDERS AND NON-PROVIDERS ON HALL COUNTY'S GOVERNMENT COMES TO A 20-YEAR NPV OF $4,664,663. - IMPACT: THE FISCAL IMPACT OF THE MEDICAL OFFICE COMPLEX OF PROVIDERS AND NON-PROVIDERS ON HALL COUNTY'S SCHOOL SYSTEM COMES TO A 20-YEAR NPV OF $7,674,804.THE HEALTH SYSTEM ANTICIPATES INVESTING CLOSE TO $200 MILLION ON THE NEW HOSPITAL CAMPUS OVER THE NEXT 5 YEARS TO MEET THE WELL-ESTABLISHED DEMAND IN THAT COMMUNITY FOR HEALTHCARE AND INPATIENT HOSPITAL SERVICES.
PART VI, LINE 5: NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS IS COMPRISED OF 15 MEMBERS AND INCLUDES REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE MEDICAL STAFF AND THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER. BOARD MEMBERS PROVIDE LEADERSHIP THAT SUPPORTS THE ORGANIZATION'S MISSION TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY.

ALL PHYSICIANS UNDERGO AN EXTENSIVE CREDENTIALING PROCESS PRIOR TO BEING GRANTED MEDICAL STAFF PRIVILEGES. THE MEDICAL CENTER CONDUCTS PHYSICIAN MANPOWER STUDIES TO DETERMINE THE NUMBER OF PHYSICIANS NEEDED BY SPECIALTY TO MEET COMMUNITY NEED. INFORMATION FROM THESE STUDIES IS USED TO HELP GUIDE DECISIONS FOR PHYSICIAN RECRUITMENT. ALL REVENUES IN EXCESS OF EXPENSES ARE REINVESTED INTO HEALTHCARE SERVICES FOR THE COMMUNITY AND NO PROFITS ACCRUE TO INDIVIDUAL INVESTORS. THE MEDICAL CENTER'S CHARITY CARE POLICY HELPS ENSURE ACCESS TO HOSPITAL SERVICES TO LOW INCOME PATIENTS. I.E. PATIENTS WITH A FAMILY INCOME OF LESS THAN OR 150% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES QUALIFY FOR A 100% CHARITY ADJUSTMENT, WHICH MEANS THAT THEY SERVICES ARE FREE.

FORM 990, PART III. LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS:	LOCATED IN THE NORTHEASTERN SECTION OF THE STATE IN HALL COUNTY, NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER (NGMC) IS A 557-BED NOT-FOR-PROFIT REGIONAL REFERRAL FACILITY THAT PROVIDES A COMPREHENSIVE RANGE OF ACUTE CARE AND SPECIALTY SERVICES. THROUGH ITS ROLE AS A REGIONAL SAFETY NET HOSPITAL, NGMC SERVES THE AREA'S LOW-INCOME, UNINSURED, UNDERINSURED AND OTHER VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. APPROXIMATELY HALF OF NGMC'S PATIENTS COME FROM OUTSIDE OF HALL COUNTY. AS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT HOSPITAL, NGMC REINVESTS ALL FUNDS IN EXCESS OF OPERATING EXPENSES INTO HEALTHCARE SERVICES FOR THE COMMUNITY. THE MEDICAL CENTER RECEIVES NO OPERATING FUNDS FROM HALL OR OTHER COUNTIES SERVED, AND SERVICES ARE FUNDED BY REVENUE GENERATED FROM OPERATIONS. NGMC PROVIDED INDIGENT CARE TO HALL COUNTY RESIDENTS AT A COST OF $15.6 MILLION IN 2012, WITH ANOTHER $9.2 MILLION PROVIDED TO REGIONAL RESIDENTS OUTSIDE HALL COUNTY. THE MEDICAL CENTER'S CHARITY CARE POLICY PROVIDES FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UP TO 300 PERCENT OF THE POVERTY LEVEL - DOUBLE THE AMOUNT GENERALLY PROVIDED BY OTHER HOSPITALS ACROSS THE STATE. THE HOSPITAL IS A KEY PARTICIPANT AND FISCAL SPONSOR IN PROGRAMS AIMED AT TREATING LOW-INCOME AND UNINSURED PATIENTS, INCLUDING THE GOOD NEWS CLINICS, THE LARGEST FREE HEALTH CARE CLINIC IN GEORGIA, AND HEALTH ACCESS INITIATIVE (HAI), A LOCAL SERVICE THAT MATCHES FINANCIALLY ELIGIBLE PATIENTS TO SPECIALTY PHYSICIANS AND PROVIDES ACCESS TO CARE, AMONG OTHER SERVICES. ADDITIONALLY: - LOCATED IN GEORGIA'S FASTEST GROWING REGION, THE 62-YEAR-OLD HOSPITAL HAS EXPANDED CONSIDERABLY IN RECENT YEARS TO MEET DEMAND AND UPDATE ITS AGING PLANT, INVESTING A QUARTER OF A BILLION DOLLARS IN ITS FACILITIES; - NGMC'S QUALITY OF CARE IS OFTEN AWARDED, AND THE HOSPITAL RANKS AMONG THE TOP IN THE STATE FOR CARDIAC SERVICES; - SINCE 2000, NGMC HAS PROVIDED NEARLY THREE TIMES THE AMOUNT OF INDIGENT AND CHARITY CARE SET FORTH IN REQUIREMENTS BY THE GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY HEALTH FOR SUCCESSFUL PASSAGE OF A CERTIFICATE OF NEED FOR NEW SERVICES, AND, UNLIKE MANY GEORGIA NOT-FOR-PROFIT HOSPITALS HELD TO THE SAME REQUIREMENTS, NGMC DOES NOT RECEIVE TAX FUNDING FROM ITS LOCAL COUNTY TO HELP FUND INDIGENT CARE TO AREA RESIDENTS; - NGMC IS THE PRIMARY HOSPITAL FOR LOW-INCOME PATIENTS IN GAINESVILLE-HALL COUNTY AND THROUGHOUT THE REGION IN COUNTIES SUCH AS BANKS, LUMPKIN, AND WHITE, WHERE MANY KEY MEDICAL SPECIALTIES ARE NOT AVAILABLE. NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER: IN 2011, THE LATEST DATA AVAILABLE, NGMC WAS FOURTH IN THE STATE FOR NET UNCOMPENSATED CARE. NGMC PROVIDED INDIGENT CARE TO HALL COUNTY RESIDENTS AT A COST OF $15.6 MILLION IN 2012, WITH ANOTHER $9.2 MILLION PROVIDED TO REGIONAL RESIDENTS OUTSIDE HALL COUNTY. NGMC RECEIVES NO LOCAL TAX REVENUE FROM HALL COUNTY OR ANY COUNTIES SERVED IN THE REGION TO SUPPORT OPERATIONS OR CARE PROVIDED TO INDIGENT RESIDENTS, UNLIKE A NUMBER OF NOT-FOR-PROFIT HOSPITALS. NGMC SERVES AS A FINANCIAL ENGINE FOR ITS LOCAL ECONOMY.
