TO A LARGE EXTENT, FACTORS SUCH AS WHERE WE LIVE, THE STATE OF OUR ENVIRONMENT, GENETICS, OUR INCOME AND EDUCATION LEVEL, 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 HEALTHY BEHAVIOR CHOICES AND BE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES.

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.

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. THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S SERVICE AREA EXPERIENCED AN AVERAGE ANNUAL POPULATION GROWTH OF 4.3% BETWEEN 1990 AND 2000, WHILE THE STATE OF GEORGIA POPULATION'S ANNUAL GROWTH RATE AVERAGED APPROXIMATELY ONE-HALF THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S SERVICE AREA RATE, AVERAGING 2.4%. SURVEYS BY GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY HEALTH AND CLARITAS, INC SHOW THAT THE SERVICE AREA'S TOTAL POPULATION IS PROJECTED TO CONTINUE TO INCREASE AT A SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER RATE (I.E. ALMOST DOUBLE) THAN THAT OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA AS A WHOLE. THIS SIGNIFICANT POPULATION GROWTH IN THE SERVICE AREA WILL CONTINUE TO DRIVE INCREASES IN DEMAND FOR HEALTH CARE SERVICES.UNEMPLOYMENT DATA PROVIDED BY U.S. DEPT. OF LABOR, BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS & DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND STATE OF GEORGIA ILLUSTRATES THAT THE REGION'S ECONOMY IS MORE RESILIENT THAN THAT OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA OR THE UNITED STATES AS A WHOLE DURING DOWNTURNS.IN 2013, NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER PLANS TO BREAK GROUND ON A NEW 100-BED INPATIENT HOSPITAL AT NGMC'S RIVER PLACE CAMPUS IN THE SOUTHEASTERN CORNER OF HALL COUNTY.

AT LEAST TWO MORE MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDINGS ARE PLANNED FOR THE RIVER PLACE CAMPUS. 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.

	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 $15,647,060 MILLION IN 2011, WITH ANOTHER $10,937,273 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 61-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-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 CALENDAR YEAR 2010, THE LATEST DATA AVAILABLE, NGMC WAS FIFTH IN THE STATE FOR NET UNCOMPENSATED CARE. NGMC PROVIDED INDIGENT CARE TO HALL COUNTY RESIDENTS AT A COST OF $15,647,060 MILLION IN 2011, WITH ANOTHER $10,937,273 MILLION PROVIDED TO REGIONAL RESIDENTS OUTSIDE HALL COUNTY. NGMC RECEIVES NO LOCAL TAX REVENUE FROM HALL COUNTY (OR ANY COUNTIES SERVED IN REGION 2) 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. IN 2009 (LATEST NUMBERS AVAILABLE), THE HOSPITAL GENERATED NEARLY A BILLION DOLLARS IN REVENUE FOR THE LOCAL ECONOMY, ACCORDING TO A REPORT BY THE GEORGIA HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION, WHICH APPLIED AN ECONOMIC MULTIPLIER TO THE HOSPITAL'S DIRECT EXPENDITURES TO ACCOUNT FOR THE "RIPPLE" EFFECT THE HOSPITAL'S SPENDING HAS ON OTHER SECTORS OF THE LOCAL ECONOMY. APPLYING AN EMPLOYMENT MULTIPLIER, THE REPORT FOUND THAT THE HOSPITAL SUSTAINED MORE THAN 8,000 JOBS IN 2009 IN ADDITION TO THE MORE THAN 4,000 EMPLOYED DIRECTLY BY NORTHEAST GEORGIA HEALTH SYSTEM. UNDER THE IRS LAW, A TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION, CLASSIFIED AS A 501(C)(3) CHARITY, IS REQUIRED TO: HAVE A MISSION THAT WILL BENEFIT ITS COMMUNITY; REINVEST ALL SURPLUS FUNDS IN THE ORGANIZATION IN A WAY THAT BENEFITS THE COMMUNITY; COMPENSATE EXECUTIVES, CONTRACTORS AND OTHER EMPLOYEES IN ACCORDANCE WITH FAIR MARKET VALUE; REMAIN ACCOUNTABLE TO THE COMMUNITY; REFRAIN FROM PARTICIPATING IN POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS FOR OR AGAINST CANDIDATES; REFRAIN FROM LOBBYING AS A SUBSTANTIAL PART OF ITS ACTIVITIES; AND, REMAIN FINANCIALLY ACCOUNTABLE TO THE COMMUNITY BY NOT ALLOWING ANY PORTION OF ITS NET EARNINGS TO BENEFIT ANY PRIVATE SHAREHOLDER OR INDIVIDUAL. AS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT HOSPITAL, NGMC CARRIES ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES, AS ESTABLISHED BY THE IRS IN 1969: .
