        <Identifier>Part X:</Identifier>
        <ReturnReference>Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>The Hospital and Foundation are tax-exempt organizations under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) and, accordingly, no income taxes are provided for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements relating to these organizations. The Hospital adopted accounting guidance related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes on October 1, 2007. The Hospital and Foundation file a Form 990 (Return of Organization Exempt from Income Taxes) and Centennial files a Form 1120 annually. When these returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would ultimately be sustained. Examples of tax positions common to hospitals and foundations include such matters as the following: tax-exempt status of each entity, the continued tax-exempt status of bonds issued by the organizations, the nature, characterization and taxability of joint venture income and various positions relative to potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBIT). UBIT is reported on Internal Revenue Service Form 990-T, as appropriate. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the "more likely than not" recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized on settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with the tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. At September 30, 2010 and 2009, there were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities.</Explanation>

        <BadDebtFootnote>Part III, Line 4: Patient receivables due directly from patients are carried at the original charge for the service provided less discounts provided under the Hospital's charity care policy, less amounts covered by third-party payors and less an estimated allowance for doubtful receivables. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying troubled accounts and by historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. The Hospital considers accounts past due when they are outstanding beyond 45 days with no payment. The Hospital generally does not charge interest on past due accounts. Patient receivables are written off as uncollectible accounts expense when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded as a reduction of uncollectible accounts expense when received.</BadDebtFootnote>
        <ShortfallAsCommunityBenefit>Part III, Line 8: Costing Methodology used is the Medicare cost report which utilizes a step-down method of cost allocation.This order of allocation for overheads has been predetermined by Medicare and is printed out on the cost report.The most common overhead is allocated first to all other overheads and the patient care cost centers.Then that cost center is closed and the next most common overhead is allocated.This is continued until all the overheads are allocated out.</ShortfallAsCommunityBenefit>
