Description	Northwest Community Hospital provides quality healthcare services to inpatients and outpatients regardless of race, sex, national origin, age or ability to pay. In serving all members of its community, Northwest Community Hospital provides free/subsidized care, care to persons covered by governmental programs at less than full charges, and community health/education/wellness programs. The Hospital treats patients in immediate need of medical services without regard to their ability to pay for such services. Pursuant to its written charity care policy which is widely distributed and communicated to the community, the cost of charity care provided during FY 2010 was $8,821,000. The Hospital also provides care to persons covered by governmental programs at below cost. The unreimbursed cost of providing this care to Medicare and Medicaid patients was $79,824,000 in FY2010. In addition, the Hospital provides community benefits in the form of health and wellness education ($275,000 cost in FY10), language translation services ($338,000), paramedic training ($368,000), and other social services, transportation services, emergency preparedness, and adult day care programs ($158,000). The Hospital contributed financial and in-kind support of $401,000 to a local FQHC and community center, and operated a mobile dental clinic ($82,000). During FY2010, the community contributed 109,600 hours towards our mission of serving the healthcare needs of the community. The value of these volunteer services was approximately $1,072,000, which benefits the community through lower costs of patient services. During FY2010, the Hospital provided care to 25,721 inpatients and 74,326 emergency department patients and treated 70,722 patients at its three immediate care centers. Outpatient care included 518,094 laboratory exams, 256,224 radiology procedures, and 43,952 home healthcare visits.	Description

Income Based Criteria	Charity Care Policy The Hospital provides emergent and medically necessary services to all patients without regard to the patient's ability to pay. Under the Hospital's financial assistance policy, the amount of free care provided is determined by financial need and is not limited by budgeted amounts. Patients earning less than 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines receive free care and those between 200% and 400% of the Guidelines receive discounted care on a sliding scale. Consistent with the Illinois Uninsured Patient DIscount Act, patients without insurance coverage are eligible for a discount if their income is at or below 600% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines. Of the remaining balance, the patient's liabilty is capped at 25% of the family's annual income.	IncomeBasedCriteria
Annual Community Benefit Expln	Community Benefit Report The Hospital's community benefit activities are included in an annual report issued by Northwest Community Healthcare, the sole corporate member of the Hospital.	AnnualCommunityBenefitExpln
Costing Method Used	Costing Methodology The following methodologies were used to determine the amounts reported in the table for line 7: For lines 7a - 7d, ratio of cost to charges as determined using Worksheet 2 in the Form 990 Instructions; for lines 7e - 7i, costs were determined using the direct costs for the specific program or service from the Hospital's general ledger system. PART III, LINE 1 BAD DEBT EXPENSE The Hospital records bad debt expense in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). HFMA Statement 15 is followed to the extent that it aligns with the guidelines per GAAP.	CostingMethodUsed
Subsidized Health Services Expln	Subsidized Heatlh Services The Hospital has not included any costs related to a physician clinic as part of subsidized health services.	SubsidizedHealthServicesExpln
Percent Of Total Expense Expln	Bad Debt Expense The amount of bad debt expense included in Part IX, line 25, column (A) that was excluded from the calculation of this percentage was $28,899,849.	PercentOfTotalExpenseExpln
Bad Debt Footnote	Bad Debt Expense Northwest Community Hospital is included in the audited financial statements of Northwest Community Healthcare and Subsidiaries. The text of the footnote referencing bad debt expense in the FY 2010 audit is as follows: Healthcare evaluates the collectibility of its accounts receivable based on the length of time the receivable is outstanding, payor class and the anticipated future collectible amounts based on historical experience. Accounts receivable are charged to the allowance for uncollectible accounts when they are deemed uncollectible." The Hospital's bad debt expense as reported on lines 2 and 3 was determined using the cost to charge ratio calculated using Worksheet 2 in the Form 990 instructions. For FY 2010, the Hospital recorded provisions for bad debt expense of $28,899,849 (at charges) of which it is estimated that 9% of this amount would have been reported as charity if the patient would have fully completed the charity application process.	BadDebtFootnote
Shortfall As Community Benefit	Medicare Shortfall The Medicare shortfall reported in line 7 should be treated as community benefit because: (a) without the Medicare program, it is likely that many of these individuals would qualify for charity care or Medicaid; (b) by the Hospital accepting payment below cost to treat these patients, the burdens of government are relieved with respect to these individuals; (c) there is a significant possibility that continued reductions in Medicare reimbursement may actually reduce access to care for these individuals; and (d) the amount spent by the Hospital to cover the Medicare shortfall is money not available to cover charity care and other community benefit needs.	ShortfallAsCommunityBenefit
Debt Collection Policy	Collection Practices It is the policy of the Hospital to offer patients a payment plan or financial assistance when it becomes known or suspected that a patient needs such assistance. Financial counselors contact and work with the patient or their family to help determine if there are any third party payors which may be available to help the patient meet their obligations, such as Medicaid, COBRA, Workers Compensation, or specialized grant programs. If no third party programs are identified, the financial counselors work with the patient to help them apply for chartity discounts or payment plans. Forms are available in English and Spanish, and translation services are provided in many languages. In addition, all patient bills and statements include information about how to apply for financial assistance and the information is also posted on the Hospital's website.	DebtCollectionPolicy
Number Of Facility Type Expln	In Part V of Schedule H, Northwest Community Hospital reports: one acute care hospital, six physical medicine and rehab clinics, three immediate care centers, one radiology imaging center, one home health agency and one mental heatlh and youth alcohol and substance abuse treatment center.	NumberOfFacilityTypeExpln
Needs Assessment	In prior years, Northwest Community Hospital has conducted community needs assessments through direct contracting with third party consulting firms. The last such survey was done in 2007, and was used as the basis for addressing community health concerns for the succeeding three years. In 2010, the Hospital participated in a regional assessment offered by the Metropolitan Chicago Healthcare Council, which combined results from a community heatlh survey with other available data. Organizations participating in the assessment have access to a web portal where data can be drilled down by geographic area or by zip code. A team comprised of Hospital representatives from Community Services, Immediate Care/Wellness, Finance, Nursing and Marketing departments reviewed the results of the assessment and concluded that it should be used to drive community health improvement plans beginning in 2011.	NeedsAssessment
Patient Education Assistance	The financial assistance program at Northwest Community Hospital is communicated widely to patients and visitors in English and Spanish using the following methods: (1) signage in English and Spanish is posted throughout the organization at all access points, including the emergency department and outpatient registration areas. These areas also stock and make available a brochure, printed in English and Spanish, describing the Hospital's policy. Interpretation services are available for those who need additional information in other languages. (2) Each page of the Hospital's website (www. nch.org) contains the following footnote: "Northwest Community Hospital is a charitable organization and provides financial assistance to those who are eligible. For more information, click here." A link takes visitors to a subsequent page that describes financial assistance/charity care and provides the financial counselors' phone number. Applications for financial assistance, in English and Spanish, are available for download on the Hospital website. (3) All external Hospital publications include the following note: "Northwest Community Hospital is a charitable organization and provides financial assistance to people who are eligible. For more information please call 847.618.4542 or visit our website at www.nch.org." (4) information on financial assistance is included with every patient bill (5) Financial counselors work with patients identified upon registration or after admisssion to help them get assistance they need, answer questions, set up payment plans and facilitate applications for government programs such as Medicaid.

Community Information	Northwest Community Hosptial is located in Arlington Heights, Illinois, a suburb located approximately 25 miles northwest of Chicago. Its primary and secondary service area consists of Arlington Heights and the surrounding suburbs of Mt. Prospect, Rolling Meadows, Palatine, Buffalo Grove, Barrington, Des Plaines, Elk Grove Village, Lake Zurich, Prospect Heights, Schaumburg and Wheeling. These areas have a combined population of approximately 650,000 people. This number has remained fairly stable since 2007, with the greatest growth in the over 65 age group. There are four other hospitals located in the Hospital's service area. Part of Arlington Heights has been designated as a medically-underserved area, with a Federally Qualified Health Center located across the street from the Hospital.	CommunityInformation
Community Building Activities	In 2010, the Hospital spent $56,000 preparing for any type of disaster in our service area. Current emergency preparedness training and equipment allows the Hospital to maintain its mission to provide healthcare during extreme conditions - either on the Hospital campus or out in the community. Each year, staff spends many hours conducting and participating in drills, including those that involve or are coordinated by outside agencies such as the Cook County Department of Public Health, State of Illinois and US Homeland Security. We also actively participate on state and local task forces including the Regional Catastrophic Planning Team medical subcommittee, that plan for and coordinate community-wide responses to disasters. In 2010, the Hospital provided funding of $21,000 to the Illinois Poison Center (IPC). The IPC serves Illlinois residents and is staffed by nurses, physicians and pharmacists, receiving over 90,000 poison-related calls from the public and healthcare providers per year. The toll-free hotline offers free, confidential poison prevention advice and treatment recommendations. The IPC serves as an early warning system for potential public threats through hazard identification, surveillance and situational awareness. The Hospital also provides opportunities in the form of clinical rotations for lab, pharmacy and radiological technology students, as well as internships and vocational information for area junior high and high school students. Costs related to these programs were $218,000 in 2010.	CommunityBuildingActivities

Non-Fixed Compensation Payments	Schedule J, Part I, Line 7	The CEO and Vice Presidents of the Hospital are eligible for an annual incentive compensation payment that is aligned with the strategic, financial and operational goals of the organization.

Weighting of the organizational and functional measures varies between executives depending on the relative importance of various projects assigned during the year. Actual amounts awarded are based on a combination of defined targets (15 - 25% of base pay) and discretionary amounts (5 - 10% of base pay). Maximum payable is 150% of the target. Amounts to be paid are recommended by the CEO and subject to approval by the Nomination and Compensation committee of Northwest Community Healthcare, the sole member of the Hospital. During calendar year 2009, $252,982 was paid under this program.
