FIN 48 - Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes	SCHEDULE D, PART X, LINE 2	As required by the accounting and financial reporting standards for uncertain tax positions, GHC-SCW recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. There are no material unrecognized tax benefits taken or expected to be taken in a tax return that have been recorded on GHC-SCW's financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2011, and 2010 as it was determined that all tax positions taken meet the more-likely-than-not threshold.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4	Statement of Program Service Accomplishments	2011 Group Health Cooperative of South Central Wisconsin Report of Community Giving Summary As a non-profit consumer-sponsored cooperative, we believe it is our responsibility to consciously pay attention to our role among external stakeholders. To that end, we build strong partnerships with other non-profit organizations whose existence helps support both our members and the people of Dane County. We actively engage and collaborate with these community partners, combining precious resources to make a meaningful difference in our community. These partnerships are another way for us to deliver our promise. At the heart of our work is the organizational Common Value of "Community Involvement," which allows us to invest resources, develop programs, and promote employee volunteerism with other non-profit community partners whose goals and objectives are aligned with our vision, mission, and values. 2011 proved to be a year of demanding community needs. To maximize our efforts addressing these needs, GHC-SCW identified four areas of Community Involvement: Improve Access to Health Care We believe everyone has the right to quality health care and coverage. We develop and support programs that create a path to medical care for Madison's most vulnerable residents - the uninsured or under-insured. Develop Community Health Programs We believe it is our responsibility to develop programs to increase the quality of life and health status of people living in our community. Working with community partners, we design innovative programs that allow us to meet our responsibility to the community. Build Partnerships to Strengthen the Health Care Safety Net We partner with the public health department, community health centers, hospitals, and other local organizations to improve and strengthen the health care safety net for Madison's most vulnerable residents. These partnerships allow us to better understand the needs of the community and better coordinate the efforts of multiple organizations in response to those needs. Promote Employee Volunteerism We encourage employees to voluntarily participate in community organizations and projects. We allocate financial and in-kind resources in support of employees who volunteer their time and expertise to the Dane County community.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4	Statement of Program Service Accomplishments(Continued)	Below is a summary of specific programs and activities in each of our four Community Giving focuses. 1. Improve Access to Health Care - We believe everyone has the right to quality health care and coverage. We develop and support programs that create a path to medical care for Madison's most vulnerable residents - the uninsured or under-insured. Access Community Health Center Access Community Health Center is a community clinic serving the low income and homeless in the Madison area. GHC-SCW assigns one of its full time physicians to act as their Medical Director. The annual salary and benefits for this physician is approximately $225,000. Bridges to Access It's a sad reality that many families in our community do not have a place to call home. Area shelters are often unable to meet the demand of families struggling to find a safe, warm place to sleep. One factor that can help remove the barriers preventing families from achieving housing stability is improved access to medical care. With that in mind, GHC-SCW developed the Bridges to Access program. The GHC-SCW Bridges to Access program provided immediate medical care and helped patients apply for permanent medical coverage through BadgerCare Plus. The GHC-SCW Bridges to Access program also covered primary care services for uninsured, homeless families for three months. In addition, the program offered assistance with transportation, needed medications, applying for BadgerCare Plus, and connecting to a community provider. Health care Access Pilot (HAP) The Health Care Access Pilot (HAP) created a path for the uninsured to get needed health care services in Dane County. This program was born out of the collaborative efforts of the Health Council, a group of local health care leaders working with the United Way of Dane County. These groups worked together with the goal of creating healthier outcomes for uninsured patients. In 2011, each HAP patient received no-cost or reduced-cost health care through an assigned health care provider and clinic. Patients also received prescription drugs if they were prescribed by a participating health care provider. To further our commitment, GHC-SCW agreed to continue providing care for these patients in 2012. Primary Access for Kids Primary Access for Kids (PAK) provides health care services to uninsured children enrolled in the Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD). In 2010, GHC-SCW, United Way of Dane County, MMSD, and several local health care organizations joined together to develop this program for children in need of health care services. The current program evolved out of the initial "Adopt a School Program," which was a public/private partnership between GHC-SCW, the Foundation for Madison's Public Schools, and MMSD. Stay Healthy Program Basic and preventive care is often deficient among those without proper insurance coverage. Without preventive care, medical conditions tend to worsen. GHC-SCW created a program to identify and detect health issues for adults who could not afford to pay for preventive exams. For qualified, uninsured members, the GHC-SCW Stay Healthy Program offered: one physical exam, required lab work, follow-up appointments and medications related to the physical - all at no cost to the member.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4	Statement of Program Service Accomplishments(Continued)	2. Develop Community Health Initiatives - We believe it is our responsibility to develop programs to increase the quality of life and health status of people living in our community. Working with community partners, we design innovative programs that allow us to meet our responsibility to the community. Alpha Kappa Alpha - Walk It Out For the third consecutive year, GHC-SCW partnered with the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority (Kappa Psi Omega Chapter) to hold the Walk It Out event at the Madison College-Truax Campus. The event promoted physical activity among African American women with a 2-mile walk and GHC-SCW-sponsored sessions on Zumba, Yoga, Cardio Kickboxing, chair massages and healthy cooking. GHC-SCW partnered with the AKA sorority, Susan G. Komen Foundation and the 100 Black Men organization to plan the event. American Red Cross Basic Aid Training (BAT) Camp For the past 15 years, GHC-SCW has partnered with the American Red Cross Badger Chapter to provide year-round emergency response education in Madison area schools. Each year, GHC-SCW hosts a summer camp at the American Red Cross Badger Chapter headquarters to provide children an additional opportunity to learn the course material. The Basic Aid Training (BAT) Camp was a two-day opportunity for children to learn how to prevent, as well as respond to, emergency situations. Volunteers from the GHC-SCW Marketing and Community Care departments were certified to teach the emergency response course to local children. Hands-on lessons included emergency response, rescue breathing, first-aid for choking, fire safety, injury prevention and wound care, as well as other safety-related activities. Community GroundWorks GHC-SCW supports Community GroundWorks a non-profit organization serving diverse communities and schools in the area. Their mission is to connect people to nature and local food. Through hands-on education, 161 children, from Goodman Community Center and Lussier Community Education Center, had the chance to learn gardening, urban farming, healthy eating and natural area restoration. Farm Fresh Produce In 2008, GHC-SCW developed the Farm Fresh Produce Program to bring nutritious and locally grown foods to low-income children. The program was designed to work in tandem with Kids Caf, a program that provides meals to low-income children in local community centers. Through the Farm Fresh Produce Program, GHC-SCW helped to bring a regular supply of fresh, organic vegetables from the Vermont Valley Community farm to Kids Caf. In 2011, the Goodman Community Center and the Lussier Community Education Center were selected to receive fresh fruits and vegetables each week. These centers also received technical assistance with meal preparation and incentives for participation. "Food for the Soul" Caregiver Luncheon GHC-SCW supported "Food for the Soul," the 2011 caregiver luncheon held at the Nakoma Golf Club. GHC-SCW partnered with the Dane Country Area Agency on Aging and the Dane County Caregiver Alliance to offer caregivers a stress-free afternoon. Twelve community vendor tables provided caregivers with local resources available to them. Lunch was served, accompanied by a music performance by the Unkalung Choir. Health care Administrative Training Program (HATP) GHC-SCW participated in the Urban League of Greater Madison's Health Care Administrative Training Program (HATP). HATP was a 12-week course designed to provide job skills for people seeking employment. The course included training on EPIC medical software, medical terminology, health insurance concepts, and professional development skills. Because of this program, participants have enjoyed high job placement in the health care community with positions like clinic reception and medical billing. Healthy Communities Program A staggering 22% of Dane County students, grades 7-12, are overweight or obese - that's according to the City of Madison. GHC-SCW partnered with Public Health-Madison, Dane County, and local community organizations to combat obesity among low-income children. In 2008, this coalition launched the Healthy Community Awards (HCA) to reward organizations that encouraged physical activity and healthy eating among the youth they served. Since its inception, participating organizations, including GHC-SCW, have used evidence-based practices that were tailored to the needs of youth. Many of these organizations also provided free or very low-cost obesity prevention services to Dane County children. Healthy Self Olympics GHC-SCW and Madison School & Community Recreation (MSCR) hosted the Healthy Self Olympics, a valued annual community event held at Madison's Marlborough Park. The message behind the event was simple: being healthy can be fun and rewarding. In 2011, local children competed in various "Olympic" games, including an obstacle course race, parachute games, a jump rope contest and more. Children from MSCR's Safe Haven after-school program at Emerson, Falk, and Glendale Elementary schools, along with children from the Allied Learning Center, competed in the "Olympic" games while learning about the importance of fun fitness activities. The "Healthy Self Olympics" is the year-end celebration of the "Healthy Self" program, which began in 2003 as a collaborative project between GHC-SCW, MSCR, and the Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD). GHC-SCW pediatrician Steven Lo, M.D., school nurses, and recreational specialists use active learning to teach kids the importance of healthy eating, positive self-esteem, and exercise. Kids are rewarded when they comprehend and apply healthy lifestyle skills to their daily lives.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4	Statement of Program Service Accomplishments (Continued)	InfoShare GHC-SCW, Dane County Human Services, and the UW-Waisman Center Community Training and Consultation program joined forces in 2011 when they held the 21st InfoShare event at the Alliant Energy Center. 214 individuals participated in this red carpet event that celebrated the lives of people with developmental disabilities. Over 60 "Choicey Awards" were given to individuals and organizations that demonstrated innovative achievements in several categories: Empowering You or Others, Individual Achievements, Exceptional Leadership, Community Building and more. Literacy Network Literacy skills are a strong predictor of an individual's health status. Serious health problems may arise when a person possesses low literacy. To address this issue, GHC-SCW partnered with the Literacy Network, which administered an "English for Health" course designed to improve health literacy. Course attendees received hands-on practice to improve their English language ability, learned better health practices, and were coached on ways to communicate health care decisions. Powerful Tools for Caregivers GHC-SCW partnered with the Dane County Area Agency on Aging to support the Powerful Tools for Caregivers Program. This program was for family caregivers of people with dementia, serious illness, or injuries. The program was also designed to empower caregivers with skills to better care for their family member and themselves. Each session focused on effective ways to reduce stress, manage difficult situations, master tough caregiving decisions and communicate feelings of needs and concerns. Tai Chi at Monona Terrace The Tai Chi at Monona Terrace was a free series sponsored by GHC-SCW during the summer. Members of the public were invited to join GHC-SCW Complementary Medicine Provider; Terri Pellitteri in relaxing sessions of Tai Chi. She led participants through gentle and guided movements. The sweeping views of the Madison skyline and Lake Monona, combined with the soft breezes and soothing sounds of the Monona Terrace fountain, made a great backdrop for the sessions. The goal of the free series was to raise awareness among the community about general health and wellness. Yoga for Individuals Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing GHC-SCW partnered with Access to Independence to develop a yoga class for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. The class was held throughout April and May at Our Savior Lutheran Church in Madison. Sixteen participants signed up for the class and the average attendance for the class was twelve individuals.

BUILD PARTNERSHIPS TO STRENGTHEN THE HEALTH CARE SAFETY NET - We partner with the public health department, community health centers, hospitals, and other local organizations to improve and strengthen the health care safety net for Madison's most vulnerable residents. These partnerships allow us to better understand the needs of the community and better coordinate the efforts of multiple organizations in response to those needs. BadgerCare Plus One of the most pressing issues in our community is the role that poverty plays on the health and well-being of individuals and families. In Dane County alone, close to 10% of the population lives below the poverty level. Thankfully, the State of Wisconsin's Medicaid program, BadgerCare Plus, helps eligible families get the medical care they need. In 2011, GHC-SCW proudly served 4,067 BadgerCare Plus members. Although the State of Wisconsin pays a portion of health care costs for BadgerCare families, the actual cost of health care services is more than the State of Wisconsin covers. To cover the gap in their health care costs, GHC-SCW donated an average of $543 on behalf of each member. With 4,067 BadgerCare Plus members at GHC-SCW, that's over $2.2 million that went towards strengthening the health care safety net for these families in 2011. But our commitment to these families went further with two dedicated BadgerCare Coordinators, employed by GHC-SCW. They served as advocates for BadgerCare members by helping families set up needed medical appointments, connecting them with available community resources, and providing support to strengthen their health and well-being. GHC-SCW Evening Clinics GHC-SCW hosted three Evening Clinics to accommodate the busy lives of parents with children enrolled in BadgerCare Plus. During the Evening Clinics, a total of 150 children obtained immunizations and preventive health exams. Clinics were staffed by GHC-SCW Providers, support staff, and nurses from the Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD). In addition, GHC-SCW provided a nourishing meal to the families who came to the Evening Clinics. Juneteenth The Annual Juneteenth Festival commemorates the ending of slavery in the United States and was held at Madison's Penn Park in 2011. The GHC-SCW BadgerCare Plus Outreach Coordinator and Community Care Specialist provided information to festival attendees on how to become a member of GHC-SCW as well as information about community care programs supported by GHC-SCW. Latino Health Council The Latino Health Council is a group dedicated to the needs and issues of Hispanics in Dane County. To help meet those needs, they utilize education, advocacy, consulting and networking. GHC-SCW participated on the Latino Health Council in 2011 to promote and support the health and well-being of the Hispanic community. Let's Go To Church The GHC-SCW Community Care Manager lent her voice and expertise to a collaborative effort promoting health education in the African American community. She was joined by local leaders and experts from the African American community on a popular radio program called "Let's Go To Church" - a program that boasts an average 6,000 listeners each week. Their discussion highlighted important health disparities among the African American community that tend to cause serious illness. Russell Hess School Nurse Emergency Fund Dr. Russell Hess was well-known for his commitment to childhood health through his 18 years of service at GHC-SCW and in the community. He was a major force behind developing an important alliance between GHC-SCW and Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD). His commitment and dedication was recognized by MMSD when he won the Distinguished Citizen Award. Upon his passing in 2001, an endowment fund in the name of Dr. Hess was established to support the School Nurse Emergency Fund.

PROMOTE EMPLOYEE VOLUNTEERISM - We encourage employees to voluntarily participate in community organizations and projects. We allocate financial and in-kind resources in support of employees who volunteer their time and expertise to the community of Dane County. Holiday Gift Giving Families with limited financial means can have a tough time getting through the holidays. That's why GHC-SCW developed a Gift Giving Initiative. In 2011, selected GHC-SCW members received gifts during the holidays. GHC-SCW staff identified families facing financial, medical, or personal hardship, and then they purchased requested gifts and delivered them to the families. United Way of Dane County A respected community organization, the United Way of Dane County engages our community, mobilizes volunteers and strengthens local non-profits to achieve measureable results that change lives. They focus on three priority areas: education, safety and health. GHC-SCW supported the United Way and its mission through the financial support of employee contributions. GHC-SCW staff also dedicated time to raise funds for United Way. Summary Our commitment to the citizens of the Madison and Dane County is demonstrated through the financial support of the organizations and programs summarized above. Another demonstration of this commitment includes the dedication of time and expertise to initiatives that contribute to the overall health and well-being of our community. This time and commitment was delivered by GHC-SCW employees during work time and the employees were paid for the time spent on these activities or received compensated time off in return. In 2011: - Contributed a value of $405,275 in paid time to support activities that improved the health and wellness of the Dane County community. - Provided $3,202,283 in subsidies of Medicaid and Medicare programs. - Provided $526,821 in financial support of 501(c) (3) organizations and activities including the provision of healthcare for individuals enrolled in GHC-SCW Community Programs.
