		Sharp recognizes tax benefits from any uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained, based solely on its technical merits, with the taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information. Sharp records a liability for unrecognized tax benefits from uncertain tax positions as discrete tax adjustments in the first interim period that the more likely than not threshold is not met. Sharp recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of its assets and liabilities along with net operating loss and tax credit carryovers only for tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition criteria. At September 30, 2011 and 2010, no such assets or liabilities were recorded.

Part I, Line 1a	Monthly dues paid to the University Club for Michael Murphy, President/CEO and Daniel Gross, EVP Hospital Operations.
Part I, Line 4b	Sharp HealthCare ("Company") sponsors an Executive Flexible Benefit Plan ("Plan") to provide designated executives with a reasonable level of benefits in return for their continued employment with the Company. The Plan is administered on a Plan Year basis of January 1 to December 31. Changes in Flexible Benefit Options are permitted annually, effective January 1 of the new Plan Year. The provisions of the Plan, which were restated effective as of December 31, 2008, are described below as restated. The Plan is available to the Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President of Hospital Operations, and Senior Vice Presidents. The Flexible Benefit Allowance available to each participant each plan year shall equal the sum of the following: - A company provided base allowance equal to 18% of the participant's base salary - A participant deferral up to 6% of the participant's pre-tax base salary for such plan year as elected by the participant - A company match should the participant make an elective deferral for a plan year. The company match begins at 2% for the first 1% elective deferral and increases 0.5% for each additional 1% elective deferral, to a maximum match of 4.5% on a 6% elective deferral. The Plan allows participants to use the Flexible Benefit Allowance to purchase additional long-term disability coverage, long-term care coverage, and flexible survivor coverage/accumulation benefits (life insurance). Participants in the flexible survivor coverage/accumulation benefits plan previously could elect to apply Flexible Benefit Allowance to acquire additional survivor coverage, or toward deposits to the Supplemental Survivor Accumulation Benefit Plan ("SSAB") to fund post-retirement survivor benefits, subject to the ERISA limit provided their policies were issued prior to September 18, 2003. The Company shall automatically continue whatever elective coverage and additional deposit elections that were in place for the SSAB during the 2008 plan year. No elective coverage or additional deposits were available to participants whose policies were issued on or after September 18, 2003. Any Flexible Benefit Allowance that remains after purchasing these additional coverages shall be paid to the participant in cash in equal installments throughout the Plan Year, not less frequently than quarterly. If the participant separates from service during the Plan Year, the participant forfeits any unpaid Allowance. For calendar year 2010, the following individual had distributions. William Spooner: distributions - $529,618
Part III	Compensation was paid to Dr. Donald Balfour through Donald C. Balfour MD Inc., for one honorarium by Sharp HealthCare. He was compensated directly by Donald C. Balfour MD Inc.	Supplemental Information

The Corporation is committed to preventing any Participant of the Corporation from gaining any personal benefit from information received or from any transaction of Sharp. One component of the written conflict of interest policy requires that Board Members, Corporate Officers, Senior Vice Presidents and Chief Executive Officer(s) submit a conflict of interest statement annually to Legal Services/Senior Vice President of Legal Services who will review all statements. In addition, all Vice Presidents and any employees in the Purchasing/Supply Chain, Audit and Compliance, and Case Management/Discharge Planning departments are required to complete an online conflict of interest questionnaire annually that is reviewed by the Conflict Review Committee comprised of employees from Sharp's Legal, Compliance, and Internal Audit departments.

Mission Statement It is Sharp's mission to improve the health of those it serves with a commitment to excellence in all that it does. Sharp's goal is to offer quality care and services that set community standards, exceed patient expectations, and are provided in a caring, convenient, cost-effective and accessible manner. Vision Sharp's vision is to become the best health system in the universe. Sharp will attain this position by transforming the health care experience through a culture of caring, quality, service, innovation and excellence. Sharp will be recognized by employees, physicians, patients, volunteers and the community as the best place to work, the best place to practice medicine and the best place to receive care. Sharp will be known as an excellent community citizen, embodying an organization of people working together to do the right thing every day to improve the health and well-being of those it serves. Values Integrity - Trustworthiness, Respect, Commitment to Organizational Values, and Decision Making Caring - Service Orientation, Communication, Teamwork and Collaboration, Serving and Developing Others, and Celebration Innovation - Creativity, Continuous Improvement, Initiating Breakthroughs, and Self-Development Excellence - Quality, Safety, Operational and Service Excellence, Financial Results, and Accountability Culture: The Sharp Experience For more than 11 years, Sharp has been on a journey to transform the health care experience for patients and their families, physicians and staff. Through a sweeping organization-wide performance and experience improvement initiative called The Sharp Experience, the entire Sharp team has recommitted to purpose, worthwhile work, and creating the kind of health care people want and deserve. This work has added discipline and focus to every part of the organization, helping to make Sharp one of the nation's top-ranked health care systems. Sharp is San Diego's health care leader because it remains focused on the most important element of the health care equation: the people. Through this extraordinary initiative, Sharp is transforming the health care experience in San Diego by striving to be: The best place to work: Attracting and retaining highly skilled and passionate staff members who are focused on providing quality health care and building a culture of teamwork, recognition, celebration, and professional and personal growth. This commitment to serving patients and supporting one another will make Sharp "the best health system in the universe." The best place to practice medicine: Creating an environment in which physicians enjoy positive, collaborative relationships with nurses and other caregivers; experience unsurpassed service as valued customers; have access to state-of-the-art equipment and cutting-edge technology; and enjoy the camaraderie of the highest-caliber medical staff at San Diego's health care leader. The best place to receive care: Providing a new standard of service in the health care industry, much like that of a five-star hotel; employing service-oriented individuals who see it as their privilege to exceed the expectations of every patient - treating them with the utmost care, compassion and respect; and creating healing environments that are pleasant, soothing, safe, immaculate, and easy to access and navigate. Through all of this transformation, Sharp will continue to live its mission to care for all people, with special concern for the underserved and San Diego's diverse population. This is something Sharp has been doing for more than half a century. Pillars of Excellence In support of Sharp's organizational commitment to transform the health care experience, the six Pillars of Excellence serve as a guide for team members, providing a framework and alignment for everything the Sharp does. The six pillars listed below are a visible testament to Sharp's commitment to become the best health care system in the universe by achieving excellence in these areas: * Demonstrate and improve clinical excellence and patient safety to set community standards and exceed patient expectations * Create exceptional experiences at every touch point for customers, physicians and partners by demonstrating service excellence * Create a workforce culture that attracts, retains, and promotes the best and brightest people, who are committed to Sharp's mission, vision and values * Achieve financial results to ensure Sharp's ability to provide quality health care services, new technology and investment in the organization * Achieve consistent net revenue growth to enhance market dominance, sustain infrastructure improvements and support innovative development * Be an exemplary community citizen Awards Sharp recently received the following recognition: Sharp is a recipient of the 2007 Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, the nation's highest Presidential honor for quality and organizational performance excellence. Sharp is the first health care system in California and eighth in the nation to receive this recognition. Sharp was named the No. 1 "best integrated health-care network" in California and No. 12 nationally by Modern Healthcare magazine in 2012. The rankings are part of the "Top 100 Most Highly Integrated Healthcare Networks (IHN)," an annual survey conducted by health care data analyst IMS. This is the 14th year running that Sharp has placed among the top in the state in the survey.
		Sharp was ranked 47th by Modern Healthcare in its 2008 "100 Best Places to Work." The awards and honors program recognizes workplaces in health care that enable employees to perform at their optimum level to provide patients and customers with the best possible care and services. SMH was named "Best Hospital" by San Diego Union-Tribune readers participating in the paper's 2011 "Best of San Diego" Readers Poll, and SGH, SMBHWN, and SCVMC were ranked fifth, sixth and seventh, respectively. This marks the fourth year in a row that Sharp received the "Best Hospital" honor. SGH and SMH have both received MAGNET Designation for Nursing Excellence by the ANCC. The Magnet Recognition Program is the highest level of honor bestowed by the ANCC and is accepted nationally as the gold standard in nursing excellence. Sharp was named one of the nation's "Most Wired" health care systems from 1998 through 2009 by Hospitals & Health Networks magazine in the annual Most Wired Survey and Benchmark Study. "Most Wired" hospitals are committed to using technology to enhance quality of care for both patients and staff. In July 2010, SMH was named the "Most Beautiful Hospital in America" by Soliant Health, one of the largest medical staffing companies in the country. With over 10,000 votes from visitors to the Soliant Health website, SMH was voted to the top of the second annual "20 Most Beautiful Hospitals in America" list. In 2010, SCHCC was re-designated as a Planetree Patient-Centered Hospital. Planetree is a coalition of more than 100 hospitals worldwide that is committed to improving medical care from the patient's perspective. Initially designated in 2007, SCHCC is the first hospital in California to receive this designation, and the only hospital in California to achieve re-designation. In 2010, Sharp received the Morehead Apex Workplace of Excellence Award. Morehead awards the health care industry's top achiever by objectively identifying the highest performer and acknowledging their contributions to health care. With this singular award, Morehead annually recognizes a client who has reached and sustained the 90th percentile on their employee engagement surveys. Sharp reached the 98th percentile in 2010 and the 99th percentile in 2011. In 2011, SCVMC and SCHHC each received the Energy Star designation from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for outstanding energy efficiency. Buildings that are awarded the designation use an average of 40 percent less energy than other buildings and release 35 percent less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. In 2011, SCVMC and SCHHC were two of only six California hospitals to receive this designation. In 2011, Sharp HealthCare was named the Crystal Winner of the 2011 Workplace Excellence Awards from the San Diego Society for Human Resource Management. This designation recognizes Sharp's Human Resources Department as an innovative and valuable asset to overall company performance. Patient Access to Care Programs Uninsured patients with no ability to pay, and insured patients with inadequate coverage receive financial assistance for medically necessary services through Sharp's Financial Assistance Program. Sharp does not refuse any patient requiring emergency medical care. Sharp provides services to help every unfunded patient received in the emergency room find coverage options. Patients use a quick, simple online questionnaire through the Foundation for Health Coverage Education to generate personalized coverage options that are filed in their account for future reference and accessibility. Sharp also continues to offer ClearBalance - a specialized loan program for patients facing high medical bills. Through this collaboration with San Diego-based CSI Financial Services, both insured and uninsured patients have the opportunity to secure small bank loans in order to pay off their medical bills in low monthly payments - as low as $25 per month - and thus prevent unpaid accounts from going to collections. Through this program, Sharp provides a more affordable alternative for patients that struggle with the ability to resolve their hospital bills. In addition, Sharp provides post-acute care facilitation for high-risk patients, including the homeless and patients lacking a safe home environment. Patients receive assistance with transportation and placement; connections to community resources; and financial support for medical equipment, medications, and even outpatient dialysis and nursing home stays. Through collaboration with the San Diego Rescue Mission, SCHHC, SGH and SMH discharge their chronically homeless patients to the Rescue Mission's Recuperative Care Unit, where patients not only receive follow-up medical care through Sharp in a safe environment, but through the organization's programs they also receive psychiatric care, substance abuse counseling and guidance to help get them off the street. Since February 2011, Sharp's acute care hospitals have partnered with Father Joe's Villages to support Project SOAR - a program designed to assist with and expedite social security and disability applications for homeless individuals with urgent health care needs. As eligible homeless patients are discharged from the hospital, hospital case managers facilitate their transition to Project SOAR workers who then continue the application process on through to completion. The program helps ensure eligible at-risk individuals are able to obtain timely access to the income and medical care benefits that they may not otherwise receive as a result of their homeless status. Also in FY 2011, Sharp collaborated with the United Way's Project 25 program to provide financial information that will help the program gauge the effectiveness of its interventions to reduce use of emergent and other front line public resources. Project 25 is a partnership between United Way of San Diego County and the City and County of San Diego with a goal to provide permanent housing (via the San Diego Housing Commission) and supportive services (via the County of San Diego) to at least 25 of San Diego County's chronically homeless, who are often the most frequent users of public resources. In FY 2011, Sharp hospitals provided services to 14 individuals enrolled in the Project 25 program. In addition, SCVMC continued its partnership with community clinics to provide timely access to primary care and behavioral health services by establishing medical homes for low-income, medically uninsured, and underserved patients in the South Bay that present in the SCVMC ED. The program seeks to: support safety net patients suffering from chronic conditions to better manage their pain, diseases and overall health care with the establishment of a medical home at a community clinic; inform safety net patients about obtaining affordable medications through generic prescription access education; increase patient access and timely referrals to primary care and behavioral health services; increase patient access to follow-up primary care services and establish a medical home at either Chula Vista Family Health Clinic or other community clinics; and offer enhanced access to transportation resources to the Chula Vista Family Health Clinic. It is this ability to schedule timely follow-up appointments for safety net patients that has contributed greatly to the success of this program, and since the program's inception SCVMC has served a total of 1,248 safety net patients, 55 percent of whom were referred to the Chula Vista Family Health Clinic. Health Professions Training Internships Students and recent health care graduates are a valuable asset to the community, and Sharp demonstrates a deep investment in these potential and newest members of the health care workforce through internships, financial aid and career pipeline programs. In FY 2011, there were 3,933 student interns within the Sharp system, providing more than 534,000 hours in disciplines that include nursing, allied health and professional educational programs. Sharp provides education and training programs for students across the continuum of nursing (e.g., critical care, medical/surgical, behavioral health, women's services and wound care) and allied health professions such as rehabilitation therapies (speech, physical, occupational and recreational therapy), pharmacy, dietetics, lab, radiology, social work, psychology and public health. Students from local community colleges such as Grossmont College (GC), San Diego Mesa College (MC), and Southwestern College (SWC); local and national university campuses such as San Diego State University (SDSU), University of California, San Diego (UCSD), University of San Diego (USD), Point Loma Nazarene University (PLNU), and University of Oklahoma (OU); and vocational schools such as Kaplan College (KC) participate in Sharp's health professions training.

The partnership sought to boost the number of new nurse graduates by offering programs with increased flexibility and access for students. The Accelerated Second Degree BSN Program is for individuals with a bachelor's degree or higher in a non-nursing major. The program included more than 600 hours of online coursework and nearly 900 hours of clinical experience at Sharp facilities. The Health Academy For six consecutive years, the SCVMC Health Academy program provided education to the next generation of health care professionals by introducing local elementary school students to a wide variety of health care careers. This program has provided hospital tours to hundreds of fifth graders who have benefited from interactive learning in various areas of the hospital, including the laboratory, pharmacy and billing departments. In addition, a grant from the California Endowment allowed for the expansion of the program to provide a diversity initiative to high school students. The initiative, entitled the Health Care Career Pipeline Partnership (HCCPP), represents collaboration among the hospital, Barrio Logan College Institute (BLCI), San Ysidro High School (SYHS), SWC, Harder and Associates and the San Diego chapter of the National Association of Hispanic Nurses. The program provided local high school students from diverse backgrounds, many of whom are the first in their family to attend college, a greater chance of attending college and succeeding in a career in health care. The HCCPP provided tours of SCVMC, as well as opportunities for students to volunteer or intern at the hospital. The program has had tremendous success since its inception - providing tours to nearly 650 students, paid internships to 24 students, and contributing to the 100 percent high school graduation rate of participating students. In FY 2009, SCVMC won a partnership award from the San Diego Science Alliance for its work in the HCCPP. The award recognizes a San Diego business or employer that partners with youth in the community. Health Sciences High and Middle College Sharp has teamed up as an industry partner with charter school Health Sciences High and Middle College (HSHMC) to provide students broad exposure to careers available in health care. During FY 2011, 329 HSHMC students connected to Sharp campuses for a total of more than 58,600 student hours. The collaboration between Sharp and HSHMC prepares high school students to enter health science and medical technology careers in the following five career pathways: Biotechnology Research and Development, Diagnostic Services, Health Informatics, Support Services and Therapeutic Services. During a 16-week period, supervised students rotate through instructional pods in various departments such as nursing, OB-GYN, occupational and physical therapy, behavioral health, Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU), Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU), imaging, rehabilitation, laboratory, pharmacy, pulmonary, cardiac services, and operations. HSHMC students not only receive hands-on experience in patient care, but also guidance from Sharp staff on professionalism, career ladder development and job/education requirements. HSHMC students earn high school diplomas, complete college entrance requirements and have opportunities to earn community college credits, degrees or vocational certificates. With the HSHMC program, Sharp links students with health care professionals through job shadowing and internships to explore real-world applications of their school-based knowledge and skills. The program began in 2007 with HSHMC students on the campuses of SGH and SMH, and expanded to include SMV and SMBHWN in 2009, SCHHC in 2010, and SCVMC in 2011. Lectures and Continuing Education Sharp contributes to the academic environment of many colleges and universities in San Diego. In FY 2011, Sharp staff committed more than 500 hours to the academic community by providing lectures, courses and presentations on numerous college/university campuses throughout San Diego. Through the delivery of a variety of guest lectures, including health information technology at San Diego Mesa College, cardiovascular technology at Grossmont College, health information lectures at San Diego Mesa College, pharmacy practice lectures at UCSD, and a variety of health administration lectures to public health graduate students at SDSU, Sharp staff remain active and engaged with San Diego's academic health care community. Sharp's Continuing Medical Education (CME) department assesses, designs, implements and evaluates educational and training initiatives for Sharp's affiliated physicians, pharmacists and other health professionals to better serve the health care needs of the San Diego community. In FY 2011 the professionals at Sharp HealthCare CME invested more than 1,800 hours in numerous CME activities open to San Diego health care providers, ranging from annual conferences on patient safety, diabetes, breast cancer, kidney-transplant, and end-of-life care, to presentations on hip preservation and hospital overcrowding. In addition, the Outcomes Research Institute (ORI) at Sharp was formed to measure long-term results of care and to promote and develop best practices for health care delivery for members of the professional health care community. With both inpatient and ambulatory locations and a diverse patient population, Sharp is well-positioned to study care processes and outcomes in a real-world setting, reflecting an authentic picture of the health care environment. Among its current and future goals, the ORI aims to: ensure patient care produces outcomes consistent with evidence-based medical literature; analyze the relationships between processes and outcomes for treatments, interventions and quality improvement initiatives; establish associations between practice, costs and outcomes for patient care; as well as to develop and disseminate effective approaches to quality care delivery in the health care community. Volunteer Service Sharp Lends a Hand In FY 2011, Sharp continued its systemwide community service program, Sharp Lends a Hand (SLAH), to further support the San Diego communities it serves. In October 2010, Sharp promoted the program both internally and in the community, requesting project ideas that: focused on improving the health and well-being of San Diego in a broad, positive way; relied on Sharp for volunteer labor only; supported nonprofit initiatives, community activities or other programs that serve the residents of San Diego County; and could be completed by September 30, 2011. Sharp employees voted on the qualified projects posted on SharpNET (Sharp's internal website). They selected six projects: Stand Down for Homeless Veterans, San Diego Food Bank, International Coastal Cleanup Day, Special Olympics, YWCA Emergency Shelter (Becky's House), and playground beautification at the Valencia Park Drama and Dance Academy. In support of these projects, more than 1,900 Sharp employees, family members and friends volunteered over 6,700 hours.
		During nine days in June and July 2011, 454 Sharp employees, family members and friends volunteered at Veterans Village of San Diego. The volunteers sorted and organized clothing donations and provided on-site support, medical services and companionship to hundreds of homeless veterans at Stand Down for Homeless Veterans, an annual event sponsored by Veterans Village of San Diego and held at San Diego High School. The San Diego Food Bank feeds people in need throughout San Diego County, and advocates and educates the public about hunger-related issues. For 10 days over January, March, May, July and September, 880 SLAH volunteers inspected and sorted donated food, assembled boxes and cleaned the San Diego Food Bank warehouse. The YWCA Emergency Shelter (Becky's House) provides emergency shelter and transitional housing to women and children who have been victimized by domestic violence. Eleven SLAH volunteers gave the shelter some much needed "tender love and care" by painting the children's patio in April 2011. The Valencia Park Drama and Dance Academy provides education, health care, food, clothing and personal hygiene for some of San Diego's estimated 2,200 homeless and at-risk children. In June 2011, a group of SLAH volunteers helped improve the outside environment for the students by repainting hopscotch and four-square lines on the playground. More than 368 SLAH volunteers provided assistance to San Diego County's Special Olympics year-round training and athletic competitions including the Fall Regional Games held in Rancho Bernardo, a Floor Hockey competition and the USA Team Training event. Special Olympics of San Diego County has more than 1,400 athletes of all ages. The program provides sports training and athletic competition for all children and adults with intellectual disabilities. The volunteers assisted with timekeeping, score-keeping and cheerleading during the Team Training for the Spring Games in Athens, Greece, which included swimming, tennis, basketball, cycling and rowing. The SLAH team partnered with I Love a Clean San Diego and San Diego Coastkeeper to put the sparkle back in the San Diego community through the International Coastal Cleanup Day on September 17. Nearly 175 volunteers of all ages helped keep San Diego's coast a beautiful place to live and play by picking up and removing trash and debris from 16 selected sites in our communities. Sharp Humanitarian Service Program In FY 2011, 32 Sharp employees were funded through Sharp's Humanitarian Service Program. This program allows employees to participate in service programs that provide health care and/or other supportive services to underserved or adversely affected populations. In FY 2011, Sharp employees devoted their time and energy to organizations that included Wheels for the World, which provides wheelchairs to people with disabilities in developing countries, including Egypt and Ghana. Sharp staff brought 250 wheelchairs, crutches and walkers and worked out of a regional hospital in rural Ghana at a seating and positioning clinic. At this clinic, patients - many who had been crawling for most of their lives - received therapy sessions and their first wheelchairs and other walking supports. In addition, Sharp staff led a team of medically-focused college students on another humanitarian program serving Ghana. Over three weeks, the team traveled to several small villages in West Africa, setting up seven temporary health clinics, and treating over 700 Ghanaians for basic medical care, such as treatment for malaria, intestinal worms, severe dehydration, scorpion stings, snake bites and wound care. The team also provided health education around nutrition, sanitation issues and women's health. Training was provided to Ghanaian health workers so that they could continue the health education after Sharp staff returned to the U.S. Sharp staff also participated in a medical mission trip to El Salvador, providing three medical clinics to the community serving hundreds of patients in poverty. Additionally, a week-long free health clinic was conducted by Sharp physical therapy staff in Punta Gorda, Belize. Patients received physical therapy screening and intervention, education on the benefits of exercise, an individualized home program, and referrals to the local clinic for follow-up services. Another medical mission trip was led in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, during January 2011. Eight participants, including Sharp-affiliated physicians and nurses, served for a week at a local hospital and provided critical orthopedic therapy and treatment to 20 patients. Sharp staff performed surgery for eight of these patients, attending mostly to bone fractures and non-unions. Through the Sharp Humanitarian Service Program, in FY 2011 Sharp staff continued to provide extensive support and expertise to victims of the earthquakes that devastated Haiti in January 2010. Sharp-affiliated physicians and Sharp staff provided medical services including wound care, post-op treatment, neurological and orthopedic rehabilitation, occupational therapy and general public health, in addition to equipment and supplies to those in need. Sharp staff often delivered around-the-clock care for patients affected by the earthquakes - whose ages ranged from neonates to the elderly - at various sites throughout Haiti. Sharp staff also worked with Family Friends Community Connection (FFCC), a San Diego-based nonprofit organization, to lend vital assistance to those areas of Haiti impacted by the earthquakes. In April 2011, the FFCC team and Sharp employees set up the first mobile medical clinic in Carrefour, Haiti, and treated nearly 1,000 patients in need of critical medical care. Staff provided care, comfort, support and hope amidst a situation of complete and utter chaos, including the challenges of limited medical supplies and unsanitary living conditions. Community Walks For the past 16 years, Sharp has proudly supported the American Heart Association (AHA) annual Heart Walk. In September 2011, more than 1,000 walkers represented Sharp at the San Diego Heart Walk held in Balboa Park. Sharp was the No. 1 Heart Walk team in San Diego and the AHA Western Region Affiliates, raising more than $194,000 for the American Heart Association. Sharp Volunteers Sharp volunteers are a critical component of Sharp's dedication to the San Diego community. Sharp provides a multitude of volunteer opportunities throughout San Diego County for individuals to serve the community, meet new people, and assist programs ranging from pediatrics to Senior Resource Centers. Volunteers devote their time and compassion to patients as well as to the general public, and are an essential element to many of Sharp's programs, events and initiatives. Sharp volunteers spend their time within hospitals, in the community, and in support of the Sharp HealthCare Foundation, Grossmont Hospital Foundation, and Coronado Hospital Foundation.
		Sharp employees also donate time to Sharp as volunteers for the Sharp organization. In FY 2011, there were more than 2,300 total volunteers across the Sharp system, contributing 280,963 hours of their time in service to Sharp and its initiatives. More than 15,000 of these hours were provided externally to the San Diego community through activities such as delivering meals to homebound seniors and assisting with health fairs and events. Table 2 details the number of volunteers and the hours provided in service to each of Sharp's entities, as well as Sharp HospiceCare, specifically for patient and community support. Volunteers also spent additional hours supporting Sharp's three foundations for events such as Grossmont Hospital Foundation's annual Golf Tournament; the SMBHWN Stewardship Committee; galas held for SCVMC, SCHHC and SGH; and other events in support of Sharp entities and services. Table 2: Sharp Volunteers and Volunteer Hours - FY 2011 Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center 347 Volunteers (Individuals) 52,990 Volunteer Hours Sharp Coronado Hospital and Healthcare Center 165 Volunteers (Individuals) 8,181 Volunteer Hours Sharp Grossmont Hospital 950 Volunteers (Individuals) 109,487 Volunteer Hours Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women & Newborns 85 Volunteers (Individuals) 14,873 Volunteer Hours Sharp Memorial Hospital 617 Volunteers (Individuals) 74,961 Volunteer Hours Sharp Mesa Vista Hospital 24 Volunteers (Individuals) 2,689 Volunteer Hours Sharp HealthCare 26 Volunteers (Individuals) 4,125 Volunteer Hours TOTAL 2,214 Volunteers (Individuals) 267,306 Volunteer Hours Sharp employees also volunteer their time for the Cabrillo Credit Union Sharp Division Board, the Sharp and Children's MRI Board, the UCSD Medical Center/Sharp Bone Marrow Transplant Program Board, Grossmont Imaging LLC Board, and the SCVMC - SDI Imaging Center. In addition, volunteers on Sharp's auxiliary boards and the various Sharp entity Boards volunteer their time to provide program oversight, administration and decision-making regarding financial resources. In FY 2011, 129 community members contributed their time to Sharp's boards. Sharp's Greater Good In FY 2011, Sharp staff volunteered their time and passion to a number of unique initiatives, underscoring Sharp's commitment to the health and welfare of the San Diego community, and the greater good. Below are just a few examples of how Sharp employees gave of themselves to the San Diego community. At SGH, the "This Bud's for You" program brought smiles to unsuspecting patients and their loved ones with the delivery of hand-picked flowers from the medical campus's abundant gardens. The SGH landscape team grew, cut, bundled and delivered colorful bouquets each week, bringing an element of natural beauty to help ease the experience of patients and visitors of both the hospital, and the SGH Hospice Houses. The team also regularly offers single-stem roses in a small bud vase to passers-by. The program's success was made possible by support from the SGH Auxiliary and volunteers who assisted the landscape crew in navigating the hospital and supplied flower vases. Another program organized by an SGH staff member was the "Shirt Off Our Backs" program. During the 2010 holiday season, one SGH employee orchestrated and implemented a concerted effort to bring clothing, shoes, blankets and household items directly to San Diego's homeless population. The SGH Engineering Department, the SGH Auxiliary and local businesses collaborated to implement the program, and SGH's Waste Management team provided ancillary support with loaner recycle bins to use for collection. Hundreds of pounds of clothing, shoes, towels, blankets, toiletries and other items that could be put to use immediately were collected, washed, folded, boxed/bagged and prepared before delivery to the San Diego population in need. At SMMC, the Arts for Healing program was established to improve the spiritual and emotional health of patients that face significant medical challenges. The program provides services at SMH, SMH OPP, SMBHWN, SMV and SMC. Since the inception of the program in 2007, more than 5,000 patients and their families have benefitted from the time and talent provided by dedicated staff and volunteers. Trained volunteers are the primary providers of the program, which is coordinated by a clergy member of the Spiritual Care program. The Arts for Healing program utilizes the power of art and music to enhance the healing process for patients challenged by significant illness, chronic pain and long-term hospitalization. At SMH, oftentimes these are stroke patients, cancer patients, or patients facing life with newly-acquired disabilities following catastrophic events. At SMBHWN, the program is provided to high-risk mothers who are in the hospital from one to four months, awaiting childbirth and experiencing stress and loneliness over the separation from their families. The program has recently expanded to offer special interactive group art projects in the lounges of the Stephen Birch Healthcare Center, which are open to patients, families and staff. Participants paint and create cards and seasonal craft projects. Events have attracted more than 75 people who benefit from the healing power of art. In addition, Sharp sponsored the TEDxSanDiego and TEDxYouth events held in November 2010, providing support in advance of the event, including show direction, technical direction, experience design and registration. TEDxSanDiego and TEDxYouth are events for members of the San Diego community and beyond, and are designed to bring together innovators, explorers, teachers and learners in an environment that encourages collaboration, conversation and interaction. TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to "Ideas Worth Spreading," and has grown over the past 25 years to support an array of world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. TEDxSanDiego and TEDxYouth are not-for-profit events organized entirely by local, unpaid volunteers. Between 40 to 60 Sharp staff volunteered their time on-site at each event, delivering The Sharp Experience as way finders, ushers, stage managers, speaker shadows, and in other roles. Lastly, Sharp's 2011 All-Staff Assembly drew from the spirit of giving back with its theme of "Greater Good." To inspire Sharp staff to make a difference, brown paper "bags of goodness" were mailed to all Sharp employees in September, with the simple request to fill the bag "with love and generosity" and to pass it on "to create unexpected delight." Hundreds of Sharp employees shared stories of their bags of goodness, ranging from bags of recycled eyeglasses distributed to those in need in third world countries by the La Mesa Lion's Club; to safety supplies and necessities for neighbors during a blackout; granola bars and other foods for those in need; and treats and useful items for soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. In addition, a group of Sharp staff organized a trip to the YWCA "C" Street Shelter, a temporary housing facility for women and children that are victims of domestic violence. They delivered over 50 bags of goodness, filled with toiletries, snacks, gift cards, books and other kind gestures. Through these and many other simple, yet powerful acts, Sharp employees demonstrated that a single good deed can ignite a spark of possibility, setting in motion a chain reaction of kindness - all for the greater good. All Ways Green Initiative As San Diego's largest private employer, Sharp recognizes that the health of its patients and employees is directly tied to the health of their environment. Sharp leadership promotes a culture of environmental responsibility by providing education and outreach to employees to improve the health of those they serve as well as their own. Sharp continues to improve its systemwide All Ways Green program, which is aimed at increasing energy efficiency, water conservation and waste minimization, as well as the promotion of other initiatives to lower Sharp's carbon footprint. Sharp created its All Ways Green logo to brand its environmental activities, and has established a Green Team at each entity to foster and communicate sustainable activities. Sharp has also instituted a systemwide environmental policy.
		According to the EPA, inpatient hospital facilities are now the second-most energy-intensive industry after food service and sales, with energy utilization rates 2.7 times greater than that of office buildings on a square-foot basis. Unlike other industries, hospitals must operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and must provide service during power outages, natural disasters and other emergencies. Given this reality, Sharp has embarked on several green initiatives to enhance energy efficiency through energy-efficient lighting, retro-commissioning, occupancy sensors, energy audits, energy-efficient plant motor replacements, equipment modernization and training of staff to conserve energy. In addition, all Sharp entities participate in the EPA Energy Star database and monitor their Energy Scores on a monthly basis. In FY 2010 and FY 2011, SCHHC earned the EPA Energy Star Award. SCHHC was also named as an "Honorable Mention" at the 2011 San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) annual showcase awards. SCVMC earned the EPA Energy Star Award in FY 2009, FY 2010 and FY 2011 and was the only hospital in California to be eligible for the award during this consecutive three-year period. In an effort to conserve natural resources, Sharp has researched and implemented infrastructure changes to ensure Sharp's facilities are optimally operated while monitoring and measuring water consumption. Such changes include: installation of motion-sensing faucets; drip irrigation systems; mist eliminators; water-saving devices and equipment; water monitoring and control systems; water practice and utilization evaluations; and drought-resistant plants and other landscape redesigns. These changes have been implemented operationally with no negative impact to patient care, resulting in significant financial savings and reduced natural resource consumption. Sharp employees also donated or recycled personal cell phones and proceeds were given to the Community Health Improvement Partners (CHIP) Gift of Health program. CHIP uses the proceeds to provide medical and dental care for uninsured children in San Diego. In addition, Sharp employees were encouraged to recycle personal eyeglasses and sunglasses through the Lion's Club Recycle Sight program, which distributes recycled glasses to people in need both locally and globally. In April 2011, Sharp held its second-annual systemwide Earth Week event, partnering with 11 of Sharp's vendors to elevate awareness of green initiatives. Sharp also held its first corporate electronic waste event at its corporate office location in Kearny Mesa. The EPA and Hospitals for a Healthy Environment have reported that each patient generates approximately 15 pounds of waste each day, while U.S. medical centers generate approximately 2 million tons of waste each year. In recognition of this dramatic environmental impact, Sharp has implemented a systemwide single-stream recycling program to divert waste from going to landfills. Facilities also began using reusable sharps containers that can be reused up to 500 times, sterile processing equipment that allows for the elimination of blue-wrapped instrument trays, and reprocessing of surgical instruments. Other efforts to reduce waste include the use of recyclable paper for printing brochures and other marketing materials, electronic patient bills and paperless payroll, recycling of exam paper at SRS, and encouragement of reduced paper use at meetings through electronic correspondence. In addition, Sharp negotiated a contract with Office Depot to allow for 30 percent recycled copy paper to be used at all entities. Items received from Office Depot are also now delivered in a small re-useable bag rather than a large single-use cardboard box. At the SMMC, volunteers continue to pick up unwanted flower vases following patient discharge to reuse them in the hospital gift shop. The impact of the waste reduction programs has been significant. In FY 2011, Sharp facilities diverted some 6.8 million pounds of paper, cardboard, plastic containers, glass containers, aluminum and metal cans from local landfills. In addition, SCHHC and SMMC diverted 39,960 pounds of waste through utilization of reusable sharps and pharmaceutical waste containers in FY 2011. Sharp recycled/reclaimed 180,669 pounds of hazardous and universal waste (e.g., batteries, solvents, fluorescent light bulbs, etc.) and diverted 27,088 pounds of waste through the reprocessing of surgical devices. Table 3 presents the quantity of waste diversion at Sharp shown as pounds (lbs.) diverted. Table 3: Sharp HealthCare Waste Diversion - FY 2011 Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center 352,954 Pounds Recycled Waste Per Year 3,229,152 Pounds Total Waste Per Year 10.9% Recycled Sharp Coronado Hospital and Healthcare Center 227,119 Pounds Recycled Waste Per Year 937,656 Pounds Total Waste Per Year 24.2% Recycled Sharp Grossmont Hospital 1,422,201 Pounds Recycled Waste Per Year 4,176,332 Pounds Total Waste Per Year 34.1% Recycled Sharp Metropolitan Medical Campus 1,960,931 Pounds Recycled Waste Per Year 6,355,666 Pounds Total Waste Per Year 30.9% Recycled Total Sharp HealthCare 7,009,641 Pounds Recycled Waste Per Year 20,097,407 Pounds Total Waste Per Year 34.9% Recycled In FY 2011, Sharp promoted various other All Ways Green initiatives to enhance environmental responsibility. Green building designs are utilized throughout the Sharp system and the new SRS Downtown medical office building is designed to be LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold certified with a co-generation system which uses natural gas to produce electricity on-site. Sharp is also implementing sustainable food practices including: removal of Styrofoam from the cafeterias; use of green-label soaps and cleaners; new dishwashing systems to reduce the use of plastics; electronic cafe' menus; flatware and plates made from recycled materials; recycling of all cardboard, cans and grease from cafes; and partnering with vendors who are committed to reducing product packaging. Other sustainable food practices include organic markets at each hospital and the corporate office; purchasing of hormone-free milk; and increased purchasing of locally grown fruits and vegetables, approaching 65 percent at some entities. In addition, SMH and SCHHC are in the process of implementing composting systems in their kitchens, and close to having the first County-approved organic gardens. Ride sharing, public transit programs and other transportation efforts contribute to the reduction of Sharp's transportation emissions. Sharp ensures carpool parking spaces and designated bike racks and motorcycle spaces are available at each employee parking lot. In addition, Sharp offers discounted monthly bus passes for purchase by employees. In partnership with the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), a vanpool and carpool match-up program has also been created to help employees find convenient ride share partners. In FY 2011, the Sharp system participated in the SANDAG iCommute corporate challenge, achieving first place in the large employer category. Sharp is also in the process of installing electric vehicle (EV) chargers across the Sharp system, as part of the national EV Project. Sharp is the first health care system in San Diego to offer the EV chargers and is on the forefront of helping create the national infrastructure required for the promotion of EVs. In addition, Sharp uses centralized patient scheduling to improve patient vanpools, and has replaced higher fuel-consuming cargo vans with economy Ford transit vehicles, saving approximately five miles per gallon. At SMMC, battery-operated golf carts are also used to shuttle patients between campus buildings. Table 4 highlights the All Ways Green efforts at Sharp entities. Going forward, Sharp remains committed to the All Ways Green initiative and will continue to investigate other green opportunities to reduce Sharp's carbon footprint. Green purchasing methods will be explored as a first line of defense to reduce waste volume and toxicity with less packaging, fewer toxic materials and more recyclable packaging.

		Listing of Community Needs Addressed in This Community Benefits Report The following community needs are addressed by one or more Sharp hospitals in this Community Benefits Report: Access to care for individuals without a medical provider Focused education and screening programs on health conditions such as heart and vascular disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, preterm delivery, unintentional injuries and behavioral health Health education and screening activities for seniors Outreach for flu vaccinations Special support services for hospice patients and their loved ones, and for the community Support of community nonprofit health organizations Education and training of health care professionals Collaboration with local schools to promote interest in health care careers Welfare of seniors and disabled people Cancer education, patient navigator services, and participation in clinical trials Women's and prenatal health services and education Meeting the needs of new mothers and their loved ones *Mental health and substance abuse education for the community Highlights of Community Benefits Provided by Sharp in FY 2011 The following are examples of community benefits programs and services provided by Sharp hospitals and entities in FY 2011. Unreimbursed Medical Care Services included uncompensated care for patients who are unable to pay for services, and the unreimbursed costs of public programs such as Medi-Cal, Medicare, San Diego County Indigent Medical Services, Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs (CHAMPVA), and TRICARE - the regionally managed health care program for active-duty and retired members of the uniformed services, their loved ones and survivors; and unreimbursed costs of workers' compensation programs. This also included financial support for on-site workers to process Medi-Cal eligibility forms. Other Benefits for Vulnerable Populations included van transportation for patients to and from medical appointments; financial and other support to community clinics to assist in providing health services, and improving access to health services; Project HELP; Project CARE; contribution of time to the YWCA Emergency Shelter (Becky's House), Stand Down for Homeless Veterans, and the San Diego Food Bank; financial and other support to the Sharp Humanitarian Service Program; and other assistance for the needy. Other Benefits for the Broader Community included health education and information, and participation in community health fairs and events addressing the unique needs of the community, plus providing flu vaccinations and health screenings. Sharp collaborated with local schools to promote interest in health care careers; made Sharp facilities available for use by community groups at no charge; and executive leadership and staff actively participated in numerous community organizations, committees and coalitions to improve the health of the community. See Appendix A for a listing of Sharp's involvement in community organizations. Health Research, Education and Training Programs included education and training programs for medical, nursing and other health care professionals, as well as student/intern supervision. Sharp also completed its partnership with Southwestern College (SWC) and University of Oklahoma (OU) College of Nursing to provide clinical experience in SDC for students enrolled in the OU Online Accelerated Second Degree BSN Program. Economic Value of Community Benefits Provided in FY 2011 In FY 2011, Sharp provided a total of $297,942,782 in community benefits programs and services that were unreimbursed. Table 1 displays a summary of unreimbursed costs based on the categories specifically identified in SB 697. In FY 2011, the State of California and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services approved a Medi-Cal Hospital Fee Program for the period April 1, 2009 through December 31, 2010, resulting in increased reimbursement of $120.7 million and an assessment of a quality assurance fee totaling $82.7 million. The net impact of the program totaling $38.1 million reduced the amount of unreimbursed medical care service for the Medi-Cal population. This reimbursement helped offset prior years' unreimbursed medical care services, but was fully recorded in FY 2011, thereby understating the true unreimbursed medical care services performed for FY 2011.

Methodology to Conduct the 2010 Community Health Needs Assessment Since 1995, Sharp has participated in a countywide collaborative - including a broad range of hospitals, health care organizations, and community agencies - to conduct a triennial CHNA. The 2010 CHNA is publicly available at: http://www.sdchip.org/initiatives/charting-the-course-vi.aspx.
		In 2010, the CHIP Needs Assessment Advisory Council, under the direction of the CHIP Steering Committee, determined a methodology and approach to the sixth edition of the triennial needs assessment, which included a community priority-setting process composed of the following steps: * Review of the 38 Healthy People 2020 focus areas by the Needs Assessment Advisory Council, comprising more than 30 community stakeholders. Seventeen health issues emerged as a result of the combining and streamlining of these areas by the Council. * Division of the 17 health issues into the following three categories: Overarching Issues, Health-Related Behaviors and Health Outcomes. Health issue briefs were developed to provide detailed information on each of the 17 identified health issues. * Invitation to community leaders throughout San Diego County (72 out of 379 invitees participated) to prioritize each health issue with information from the health issue briefs and based on the following criteria: - Size of the health issues - Seriousness of the health issue - Community resources available to address the health issue - Availability of data/information to evaluate the health issue's outcomes - Each of the health issues was scored separately within the three categories noted above (Overarching Issues, Health-Related Behaviors and Health Outcomes) * Utilization of the Spectrum of Prevention Framework to determine which issues prioritized by the community were most impacted by prevention activities (as opposed to treatment): - Health access and delivery - Social determinants of health - A combination of nutrition, weight status, physical activity and fitness - Injury and violence - Mental health and mental disorders * Discussion of the above identified issues in community forums held in the six regions of San Diego County in order to: - Allow community stakeholders to identify root causes related to each health issue - Begin the process of understanding each issue from a regional perspective - Foster community relationships and promote the voice(s) of San Diego's various regional and sub-regional communities in the needs assessment process * In-depth analysis of each of the five health issues selected for the 2010 CHNA, which were the same issues identified through the Spectrum of Prevention Framework. Depending on the level of available data, these analyses included an overview of the health issue and its importance; seriousness of the health issue in terms of economic costs, use of resources and/or loss of functional status; incidence data; prevalence of morbidity and mortality in the populations most impacted by the health issue; and the local impact of the health issue. In addition to a review of the results from the priority-setting process, the 2010 CHNA utilized information from the following: * Analysis of health-related statistics gathered and analyzed by the County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA), supplemented by data from the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS), California Office of Statewide Planning and Development (OSHPD), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System and census data from the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG). * Review of health-related scientific literature * Review of the results from facilitated discussions of six community regional forums held with a cross-section of stakeholders from the San Diego County community Determination of Priority Community Needs: Sharp HealthCare Each Sharp hospital reviewed the 2010 CHNA and used it to determine priority needs for their hospital's communities. In identifying these priorities, each entity considered the expertise and mission of the hospital in providing programs and services, in addition to the needs of the unique, ever-changing demographics and/or health topics that comprise the entity's service area and region. For example, the specialty hospitals - SMBHWN, SMV, and SMC - reviewed the needs assessment priorities, specifically focusing on issues relevant to women and infants, behavioral health, and substance abuse, respectively. Sharp's general acute-care hospitals reviewed the needs assessment with a focus on the region and/or sub-regional areas, with the goal of matching community benefit programs and services to the unique needs of the region. Steps Completed to Prepare an Annual Community Benefits Report On an annual basis, each Sharp hospital performs the following steps in the preparation of its Community Benefits Report: * Establishes and/or reviews hospital-specific measurable objectives * Verifies the need for an ongoing focus on identified community needs and/or adds new identified community needs * Reports on activities conducted in the prior fiscal year - FY 2011 Report of Activities * Develops a plan for the upcoming fiscal year, including specific steps to be undertaken - FY 2012 Plan * Reports and categorizes the economic value of community benefits provided in FY 2011, according to the framework specifically identified in SB 697 * Reviews and approves a Community Benefits Plan * Distributes the Community Benefits Plan and Report to members of the Sharp Board of Directors and Sharp hospital boards of directors, highlighting activities provided in the prior fiscal year as well as specific action steps to be undertaken in the upcoming fiscal year Ongoing Commitment to Collaboration In support of its ongoing commitment to working with others on addressing community health priorities to improve the health status of San Diego County residents, Sharp executive leadership, operational experts and other staff are actively engaged in the national American Hospital Association, statewide California Hospital Association, Hospital Association of San Diego & Imperial Counties and other local collaboratives such as the CHIP Access to Health Literacy Initiative and the CHIP Behavioral Health Work Team.
