In accordance with Ascension Health's mission of service to those who are poor and vulnerable, each Health Ministry accepts patients regardless of their ability to pay. Ascension Health uses four categories to identify the resources utilized for the care of persons who are poor and community benefit programs:-Traditional charity care includes the cost of services provided to persons who cannot afford health care because of inadequate resources and/or who are uninsured or underinsured.-Unpaid cost of public programs represents the unpaid cost of services provided to persons covered by public programs for the poor.-Cost of other programs for the poor includes unreimbursed costs of programs intentionally designed to serve the poor and vulnerable of the community, including substance abusers, the homeless, victims of child abuse, and persons with acquired immune deficiency syndrome.-Community benefit consists of the unreimbursed costs of community benefit programs and services for the general community, not solely for the poor, including health promotion and education, health clinics and screenings, and medical research.Discounts are provided to all uninsured patients, including those with the means to pay.

        <Explanation>The following individual received severance payments: - Robin Schluter - $80,576 Part I, Line 4b: Eligible executives participate in a program that provides for supplemental retirement benefits. The payment of benefits under the program, if any, is entirely dependent upon the facts and circumstances under which the executive terminates employment with the organization. Benefits under the program are unfunded and non-vested. Due to the substantial risk of forfeiture provision, there is no guarantee that these executives will ever receive any benefit under the program. Any amount ultimately paid under the program to the executive is reported as compensation on Form 990, Schedule J, Part II, Column B in the year paid. A related organization that paid the salaries of the individuals listed in Schedule J, Part II, contributed to the supplemental nonqualified retirement plan in the amount as noted: - Steven Cleary - $18,217 - Robert Frazier - $10,029 - Robin Schluter - $31,222</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Carondelet Health - Kansas City Community Benefit Report For the year ended June 30, 2010 Carondelet Health consists of St. Mary's Medical Center, St. Joseph Medical Center, three long-term care facilities and home care services. Carondelet Health is dedicated to the healing ministry of Jesus Christ. Our commitment to human dignity compels us to provide compassionate, quality healthcare for body, mind and spirit, with a special concern for the poor. We are responsible stewards serving the needs of all people from conception to death. Carondelet Health is a member of Ascension Health, the nation's largest Catholic and nonprofit health system. With Charity for All The downturn in the American economy these last few years has proved challenging for everyone involved in health care. Not-for-profit hospitals have felt the increasing number of patients who have no insurance, are underinsured and cannot pay the full cost of their care. Comparative health care costs have soared since the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet started Kansas City's first hospital in a three-story house in downtown Kansas City. Today, Carondelet Health provides financial assistance to uninsured patients at both St. Joseph and St. Mary's Medical Centers. If patients are eligible for Medicaid, the Medical Centers will assist with the application. Carondelet Health also helps patients who need extra time to settle their bills with an interest-free, extended-term payment plan, regardless of their employment or credit history. Carondelet Health is also deeply involved in educating the public about the challenges for those without health insurance. Each year it joins other organizations in Cover the Uninsured Week. Carondelet Health created a resource guide for the uninsured that is used throughout the region and is available in both English and Spanish. In keeping with the rich tradition of the founding Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet and the Sisters of St. Mary, St. Joseph and St. Mary's turn away no one in need. The sister's commitment to providing compassionate, quality care remains visible at the Medical Centers to this day. Caring for Our Community Carondelet Health's facilities are active members of the communities they serve, offering a long list of programs and services to help care for the physical, mental, social and spiritual health of the residents living in those communities. Here are some highlights: The Health Sciences Library at St. Joseph Medical Center: This library facility welcomes anyone wishing to learn more about health, disease and wellness. Visitors have access to print, video and computerized health information. Support Groups: Both medical centers offer groups for bereavement, Alzheimer's, stroke, infant loss, Lyme disease, diabetes, battered women and other areas of need. Informative Web site and Health Magazine: Our newly redesigned Web site, Carondelethealth.org offers health information and direct links to more than fifty health-related organizations and support groups. Health Wise, our community health magazine is full of interesting and educational health features and is available on our Web site or by mail. High Risk Obstetrics Care: Our Healthy Beginnings program provides counseling and pre- and post-natal care for underinsured, uninsured and Medicaid mothers going through high-risk pregnancies. Seniors Clinic: Located at St. Joseph Medical Center, this popular program addresses the health needs of homebound seniors and residents of long-term care and assisted living facilities. The clinic provides a comfortable, convenient, cost-effective setting where seniors' needs can be assessed, diagnosed and treated by physicians. The clinic also provides free transportation for many patients. Free Wellness Services: Carondelet Health provides wellness services to nine churches in its service area and to designated low-income patients. Classroom Space: Space is provided for alternative high school classes offered by the Kansas City School District. Other local not-for-profit agencies are invited to host meetings and seminars in the medical centers for a nominal fee. Contributions to Community Groups: Carondelet Health contributes to many worthwhile organizations, including Cristo Rey High School, the American Cancer Society, the American Heart Association and Catholic Charities of Kansas City. It supports the Seton Center Family and Health Services by providing human resources, maintenance and wellness services; and funds after school programs for at-risk children at YMCAs in Kansas City and Blue Springs. Involvement with Community Events: St. Joseph and St. Mary's participate in numerous health fairs, offering free blood pressure, blood sugar and prostate cancer screenings. Together the medical centers sponsor a domestic violence rally to raise awareness about this critical issue and to support area victims. St. Joseph also coordinates a free informational seminar with the American Diabetes Association.
