COMMUNITY BENEFIT STATEMENT	CORE FORM, PART III, STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS	MERIDIAN HEALTH SYSTEM, INC. ("MERIDIAN") IS THE TAX-EXEMPT PARENT OF THE MERIDIAN HEALTH SYSTEM, INC. AND AFFILIATES SYSTEM ("SYSTEM"). THIS INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM CONSISTS OF A GROUP OF AFFILIATED HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS. THE SOLE MEMBER OR STOCKHOLDER OF EACH ENTITY IS EITHER MERIDIAN OR ANOTHER SYSTEM AFFILIATE CONTROLLED BY MERIDIAN. SYSTEM IS AN INTEGRATED NETWORK OF HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS THROUGHOUT MONMOUTH AND OCEAN COUNTIES AND SURROUNDING AREAS. ITS TAX-EXEMPT AFFILIATES, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE BAYSHORE ENTITIES FOR THE 2010 YEAR ONLY, OPERATE UNDER AN INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE GROUP EXEMPTION RULING AND FILE A CONSOLIDATED FORM 990 UNDER THE NAME "MERIDIAN HEALTH SYSTEM - SUBORDINATES." MERIDIAN HOSPITALS CORPORATION IS INCLUDED IN THE SUBORDIATES TAX RETURN. MERIDIAN HEALTH SYSTEM IS AN ORGANIZATION RECOGNIZED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE AS TAX-EXEMPT PURSUANT TO INTERNAL REVENUE CODE 501(C)(3) AND AS A SUPPORTING ORGANIZATION PURSUANT TO INTERNAL REVENUE CODE 509(A)(3). AS THE PARENT ORGANIZATION OF A LARGE TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM IN NEW JERSEY, MERIDIAN STRIVES TO CONTINUALLY DEVELOP AND OPERATE A MULTI-HOSPITAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM WHICH PROVIDES SUBSTANTIAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT THROUGH THE PROVISION OF A COMPREHENSIVE SPECTRUM OF HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO THE RESIDENTS OF MONMOUTH AND OCEAN COUNTIES AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES. MERIDIAN ENSURES THAT ITS SYSTEM PROVIDES MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUALS IN A NON-DISCRIMINATORY MANNER REGARDLESS OF RACE, COLOR, CREED, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN, RELIGION OR ABILITY TO PAY. NO INDIVIDUALS ARE DENIED NECESSARY MEDICAL CARE, TREATMENT OR SERVICES. SYSTEM ACTIVE HOSPITALS INCLUDE: JERSEY SHORE UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER, RIVERVIEW MEDICAL CENTER, OCEAN MEDICAL CENTER AND K. HOVNANIAN CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL. EACH OF THESE HOSPITALS OPERATES CONSISTENTLY WITH THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA OUTLINED IN IRS REVENUE RULING 69-545: 1. EACH PROVIDE MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUALS REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY, INCLUDING CHARITY CARE, SELF- PAY, MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PATIENTS; 2. EACH OPERATE AN ACTIVE EMERGENCY ROOM FOR ALL PERSONS; WHICH IS OPEN 24 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK, 365 DAYS PER YEAR; 3. EACH MAINTAIN AN APPROPRIATE MEDICAL STAFF, 4. CONTROL OF EACH RESTS WITH THE MERIDIAN HOSPITALS CORPORATION BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF MERIDIAN. BOTH BOARDS ARE COMPRISED OF INDEPENDENT CIVIC LEADERS AND OTHER PROMINENT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. 5. SURPLUS FUNDS ARE USED TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF PATIENT CARE, EXPAND AND RENOVATE FACILITIES AND ADVANCE MEDICAL CARE; PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES. AT MERIDIAN HEALTH, WE RECOGNIZE THAT THE CARE WE PROVIDE THROUGH OUR HOSPITALS AND PARTNER COMPANIES REACHES FAR BEYOND THE BOUNDARIES OF OUR FACILITIES. OUR MISSION TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH STATUS OF THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE IS AT THE HEART OF OUR CHARITABLE ROOTS. IN THIS NEW ERA OF HEALTH CARE REFORM, COMMUNITY BASED PREVENTION AND WELLNESS ACTIVITIES WILL PLAY A CRITICAL ROLE IN KEEPING OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES HEALTHY AND KEEPING HEALTH CARE COSTS DOWN. MERIDIAN REMAINS COMMITTED TO STRENGTHENING ITS MISSION AND IN 2010, DEVOTED MORE THAN $94 MILLION IN COMMUNITY BENEFITS. IN ADDITION, AS REFLECTED IN SCHEDULE H, PART III OF THE MERIDIAN HEALTH SYSTEM, INC.-SUBORDINATES CONSOLIDATED GROUP FORM 990 (FEIN:01-0649794) THE ORGANIZAITON INCURRED BAD DEBT EXPENSE OF $3.3 MILLION AND MEDICARE SHORTFALL OF $39.2 MILLION WHICH IS NOT INCLUDED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT. MERIDIAN'S 2010 COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT CAN BE FOUND ONLINE AT WWW.MERIDIANHEALTH.COM OR ON REQUEST THROUGH ANY ONE OF OUR FACILITIES. FACING HEALTHCARE CHALLENGES ---------------------------- EVERY DAY, HOSPITALS FACE HEALTHCARE CHALLENGES HEAD-ON, WHETHER TREATING A PATIENT WHO PRESENTS AT THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT IN MEDICAL CRISIS, EDUCATING AND SCREENING PATIENTS TO PREVENT DISEASE, OR KEEPING THE HOSPITAL OPEN DURING A TIME OF INCREASED ECONOMIC PRESSURE. MERIDIAN HEALTH IS PROUD THAT IT HAS BEEN ABLE TO CONSISTENTLY PROVIDE AND ENHANCE TO ITS ROBUST COMMUNITY BENEFITS PROGRAM DESPITE CHALLENGING ECONOMIC TIMES. BY COMMUNITY BENEFITS, WE ARE REFERRING TO THOSE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT WOULD NOT OR COULD NOT EXIST WITHOUT THE SUPPORT AND COMMITMENT OF MERIDIAN'S SIX HOSPITALS: JERSEY SHORE UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER, OCEAN MEDICAL CENTER, RIVERVIEW MEDICAL CENTER, BAYSHORE COMMUNITY HOSPITAL, SOUTHERN OCEAN MEDICAL CENTER AND K. HOVNANIAN CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL. IN 2010, MERIDIAN HEALTH INVESTED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO PROVIDE CARE TO THOSE WHO CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR ALL OR A PORTION OF THEIR HEALTHCARE, TO ABSORB THE SHORTFALLS OF GOVERNMENTAL PAYERS AND MANAGED CARE PROGRAMS AND TO PROVIDE HEALTHCARE SCREENINGS AND OTHER PREVENTIVE EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVES THAT IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH. THE SUCCESS AND EFFECTIVENESS OF MERIDIAN'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS ARE A DIRECT RESULT OF THE EFFORTS OF ITS COMMITTED STAFF OF PHYSICIANS, NURSES, HEALTHCARE SPECIALISTS AND COMMUNITY EDUCATORS ALONG WITH DEDICATED COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO HELP MERIDIAN IDENTIFY, DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT INITIATIVES THAT POSITIVELY IMPACT THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY. ASSESSING THE LOCAL HEALTH NEEDS -------------------------------- IN 2010, MERIDIAN EMBARKED ON A STRATEGIC PROCESS OF REASSESSING THE AREA'S HEALTHCARE NEEDS. AN INTERNAL COMMUNITY HEALTH STEERING COMMITTEE WAS ESTABLISHED UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF THE SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OF CLINICAL EFFECTIVENESS AND THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY OUTREACH. THE STEERING COMMITTEE IS COMPRISED OF SENIOR LEADERS FROM EACH MERIDIAN HOSPITAL, PARTNER COMPANIES AND OTHER CORPORATE DEPARTMENTS AND EXISTS FOR CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT, PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS. THE COMMITTEE CONVENES ON A REGULAR BASIS, HAS DEVELOPED A WORK PLAN TO ENSURE GOALS AND DELIVERABLES ARE ACHIEVED, AND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS WITH REGARD TO COMMUNITY BENEFITS. USING A NATIONALLY RENOWNED RESEARCH FIRM, MERIDIAN SURVEYED 1,000 HOUSEHOLDS VIA TELEPHONE IN MONMOUTH AND OCEAN COUNTIES TO GATHER LOCAL RESIDENTS' VIEWS OF THEIR COMMUNITY'S MOST CRITICAL HEALTH NEEDS. THIS COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT, A FOLLOW-UP TO A SIMILAR STUDY CONDUCTED IN 2006, IS A SYSTEMATIC, DATA-DRIVEN APPROACH TO DETERMINING THE HEALTH STATUS, BEHAVIORS AND NEEDS OF OUR RESIDENTS AND WILL SERVE AS A TOOL TO REACHING THREE BASIC GOALS: TO IMPROVE RESIDENTS' HEALTH STATUS, AND ELEVATE THEIR OVERALL QUALITY OF LIFE, TO REDUCE THE HEALTH DISPARITIES AMONG RESIDENTS AND TO INCREASE ACCESSIBILITY TO PREVENTIVE SERVICES FOR ALL RESIDENTS. THE SURVEY INSTRUMENT USED FOR THE STUDY IS LARGELY BASED ON THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION'S BEHAVIORAL RISK SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM AS WELL AS VARIOUS OTHER PUBLIC HEALTH SURVEYS AND CUSTOMIZED QUESTIONS ADDRESSING GAPS IN INDICATOR DATA RELATIVE TO HEALTH PROMOTION AND DISEASE PREVENTION AS WELL AS OTHER RECOGNIZED HEALTH ISSUES. THE SAMPLE DESIGN FOR THIS EFFORT CONSISTED OF A STRATIFIED RANDOM SAMPLE OF 1.054 INDIVIDUALS AGE 18 AND OLDER AND WAS CONSTRUCTED TO INCLUDE MINIMUM SAMPLE THRESHOLDS FOR EACH HOSPITAL SERVICE AREA AS WELL AS AFRICAN AMERICAN AND LATINO RESPONDENTS. IN ADDITION, FIVE FOCUS GROUPS WERE CONDUCTED WITH A TOTAL OF 32 KEY PERSONS IN THE COMMUNITY INCLUDING MEMBERS OF THE HOSPITALS' COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEES, LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS, AND OTHER COMMUNITY LEADERS. THESE FINDINGS REPRESENT QUALITATIVE RATHER THAN QUANTITATIVE DATA. THE GROUPS WERE DESIGNED TO GATHER INPUT FROM PARTICIPANTS REGARDING THEIR OPINIONS AND PERCEPTIONS OF THE HEALTH OF THE RESIDENTS OF THE AREA. A VARIETY OF SECONDARY DATA SOURCES WERE ALSO CONSULTED TO COMPLEMENT THE SURVEY AND FOCUS GROUP DATA AND INCLUDES; STATE OF NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND SENIOR SERVICES, NEW JERSEY UNIFORM CRIME REPORT, CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL & PREVENTION, ESRI BIS DEMOGRAPHIC PORTFOLIO (PROJECTIONS BASED ON US CENSUS) AND NATIONAL CENTER FOR HEALTH STATISTICS. THESE SOURCES HAVE DATA AND INFORMATION ON PRIMARY AND CHRONIC DISEASE NEEDS AND OTHER HEALTH ISSUES OF THE UNINSURED, LOW INCOME AND MINORITY GROUPS. ADDITIONALLY, THESE AND OTHER SECONDARY SOURCES WERE USED TO DEVELOP A LIST OF EXISTING RESOURCES OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES AT MERIDIAN AS WELL AS OTHER PROVIDERS IN THE AREA. MERIDIAN HAS IDENTIFIED FOUR SOURCES OF BENCHMARKING DATA THAT IT WILL USE THROUGHOUT THE ASSESSMENT PROCESS AND INCLUDES, TRENDING DATA FROM THE SIMILAR SURVEY CONDUCTED IN 2006, NEW JERSEY RISK FACTOR DATA FROM SECONDARY SOURCES LISTED PREVIOUSLY, NATIONWIDE RISK FACTOR DATA, ALSO FROM SECONDARY SOURCES AND FINALLY, HEALTHY PEOPLE 2020 TARGETS. HEALTHY PEOPLE PROVIDES SCIENCE-BASED, 10-YEAR NATIONAL OBJECTIVES FOR IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF ALL AMERICANS.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT STATEMENT (CONTINUED)	CORE FORM, PART III, STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS	FINDINGS OF THE ASSESSMENT ARE REVIEWED TOGETHER WITH MERIDIAN'S COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEES, LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS, PHYSICIANS, OTHER AREA HOSPITALS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS, WITH THE GOAL OF SELECTING AND PRIORITIZING THE TOP HEALTH CONCERNS FOR MERIDIAN AND OTHERS TO ADDRESS OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS. THIS COLLABORATIVE EFFORT WILL RESULT IN HOSPITAL-BASED, COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPLEMENTATION PLANS, WHICH WILL BE COMPLETE IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2012. MERIDIAN CONVENES SEVERAL HOSPITAL-BASED, COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEES (CAC) WHOSE MISSION IS TO ASSIST US IN IDENTIFYING AND ADDRESSING LOCAL HEALTH CARE NEEDS. COMMITTEE MEMBERS REPRESENT A CROSS-SECTION OF THE COMMUNITY IN TERMS OF AGE, GENDER, RELIGION, ETHNICITY, INTERESTS AND PROFESSIONAL STATUS. OUR PARTNERS IN HEALTH AND UNIDOS COMMITTEES ARE COMPRISED OF AFRICAN AMERICAN AND HISPANIC CIVIC AND COMMUNITY LEADERS RESPECTIVELY AND ARE FOCUSED ON ADDRESSING HEALTH ISSUES AND DISPARITIES AFFECTING COMMUNITIES OF COLOR. CURRENTLY, MORE THAN 100 PEOPLE FROM THE SURROUNDING AREA SERVE AS MEMBERS OF MERIDIAN'S COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEES. MERIDIAN PARTICIPATES IN MONMOUTH AND OCEAN COUNTIES' STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS CALLED, MOBILIZING FOR ACTION THROUGH PLANNING AND PARTNERSHIPS (MAPP). STAKEHOLDERS FROM LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, AREA AGENCIES AND COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS WORK TOGETHER TO IDENTIFY STRATEGIC HEALTH ISSUES AFFECTING THE COUNTIES. THESE ISSUES INCLUDED BARRIERS TO HEALTH CARE, COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH CARE DESPITE THE HIGH COST OF LIVING IN MONMOUTH COUNTY, TOBACCO, DRUGS AND ALCOHOL, TRANSPORTATION BARRIERS, CANCER MORBIDITY, AND THE GROWING OLDER ADULT POPULATION. THE PLANNING PROCESS RESULTED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CHIP) FOR EACH COUNTY. IN 2010, MERIDIAN COMMITTED TO SHARE THE RESULTS OF ITS COMMISSIONED NEEDS ASSESSMENT RESEARCH TO FURTHER REFINE AND ADJUST THE EXISTING CHIPS FOR BOTH COUNTIES. IN ADDITION, MERIDIAN MAINTAINS PARTNERSHIPS AND COLLABORATES WITH A VARIETY OF COMMUNITY AND HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDING, AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY, AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION/AMERICAN STROKE ASSOCIATION, MONMOUTH COUNTY CANCER COALITION, OCEAN COUNTY CANCER COALITION, PEDIATRIC ASTHMA COALITION OF NJ, NJ DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND SENIOR SERVICES, AS WELL AS COUNTY AND LOCAL MUNICIPAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, SEVERAL AREA YMCAS AND OTHERS. DELIVERING ON COMMUNITY COMMITMENT ---------------------------------- HOSPITALS TODAY FACE SERIOUS CHALLENGES. REIMBURSEMENT FOR SERVICES, WHETHER FROM THE GOVERNMENT OR FROM MANAGED CARE COMPANIES, RARELY COVERS THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DELIVERY OF QUALITY CARE. NEARLY 17 PERCENT OF NEW JERSEY'S POPULATION LIVES WITHOUT HEALTH INSURANCE, MANY FOREGO PREVENTIVE HEALTH CARE. AS A RESULT, THEY OFTEN LAND IN EMERGENCY ROOMS IN MEDICAL CRISIS, PLACING THE FINANCIAL ASPECT OF THEIR CARE BACK ON THE SHOULDERS OF AREA HOSPITALS. ADD TO THAT THE NEED FOR HOSPITALS TO PREPARE FOR THE UNEXPECTED, SUCH AS A TERRORIST ATTACK OR FLU PANDEMIC, AND YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THE MULTITUDE OF CHALLENGES FACING ALREADY STRAINED HOSPITAL SYSTEMS. IN SPITE OF ALL THIS, MERIDIAN HEALTH DELIVERS ON ITS COMMITMENT TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE 1.2 MILLION PEOPLE LIVING IN MONMOUTH AND OCEAN COUNTIES. MERIDIAN PROVIDES A CONTINUUM OF CARE THROUGH ITS SIX HOSPITALS - JERSEY SHORE UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER, OCEAN MEDICAL CENTER, RIVERVIEW MEDICAL CENTER, BAYSHORE COMMUNITY HOSPITAL, SOUTHERN OCEAN MEDICAL CENTER AND K. HOVNANIAN CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL - AS WELL AS THROUGH OCEAN CARE CENTER, THE AREA'S FIRST 24-HOUR SATELLITE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, FAMILY HEALTH CENTERS, AND OUR MANY PARTNER COMPANIES. CARING FOR ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY --------------------------------------- PEOPLE WITHOUT HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE ARE MORE LIKELY TO FOREGO PREVENTIVE CARE AND SEEK TREATMENT ONLY WHEN THEIR ILLNESSES REQUIRE VISITS TO HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOMS. BY THAT TIME, THEIR ILLNESSES TYPICALLY ARE MORE ADVANCED AND MORE COSTLY TO TREAT. MERIDIAN'S OUTREACH EFFORTS AND PROGRAMS HAVE ENCOURAGED MANY TO WALK THROUGH ITS DOORS WHO MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE GONE WITHOUT NECESSARY HEALTH CARE. IN 2010, MERIDIAN PROVIDED $51.8 MILLION IN CHARITY CARE TO PATIENTS FOR WHICH WE RECEIVED NO PAYMENT. WE ALSO PROVIDE A MEDICAL "SAFETY NET" TO THE AREA'S NEEDY BY DEVOTING MORE THAN $7.1 MILLION TO SUBSIDIZING VITAL HEALTH SERVICES SUCH AS OUTPATIENT DIALYSIS, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES AND FAMILY HEALTH CLINICS. IN ADDITION, MEDICARE AND MEDICAID OFTEN DO NOT COVER ALL THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PROVIDING QUALITY PATIENT CARE. IN 2010, MERIDIAN SPENT MORE THAN $36.4 MILLION IN DIRECT PATIENT CARE THAT WAS NOT REIMBURSED BY ANY OF THE FEDERAL OR STATE HEALTH PROGRAMS. TRAINING OUR DOCTORS AND NURSES ------------------------------- TRAINING THE NEXT GENERATION OF HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS IS VITAL TO PROVIDING A FOUNDATION FOR SOUND HEALTH IN OUR COMMUNITY. MERIDIAN ENCOURAGES THE DEVELOPMENT OF PHYSICIANS, NURSES, MEDICAL TECHNOLOGISTS, AND THOSE ENTERING ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONS BY SUPPORTING THEIR EDUCATION AND OFFERING CLINICAL EXPERIENCE IN OUR HOSPITALS.IN 2010, MERIDIAN PROVIDED $40.1 MILLION IN BENEFITS TO THE COMMUNITY AFTER GOVERNMENTAL SUBSIDIES WHICH HELP SUPPORT MEDICAL TRAINING. NO ONE PROVIDES MORE HANDS-ON CARE THAN OUR NURSES WHO PROVIDE FOR THE DAY-TO-DAY NEEDS OF OUR PATIENTS. MERIDIAN'S ANN MAY NURSING CENTER SERVES AS A RESOURCE TO EACH OF THE NURSING DEPARTMENTS WITHIN THE MERIDIAN HEALTH FAMILY FOR EDUCATIONAL ENRICHMENT OF STUDENT NURSES, FINANCIAL SUPPORT AND RESEARCH INITIATIVES. THE CENTER SUPPORTED THE EDUCATION OF SEVERAL HUNDRED NURSES IN 2010, PROVIDING STUDENT EXTERNSHIPS AND CLINICAL PLACEMENTS THROUGH COLLABORATIONS WITH LOCAL SCHOOLS. ADDITIONALLY, OVER $300,000 WAS DISTRIBUTED IN NURSING SCHOLARSHIPS. MERIDIAN HEALTH NURSES CONTINUE TO MAKE SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS TO PATIENT CARE, THE COMMUNITY AND TO THE PROFESSION OF NURSING. MERIDIAN NURSES ARE KNOWN NOT ONLY FOR THE FINEST QUALITY CARE THEY DELIVER TO PATIENTS BUT ALSO THE CONTRIBUTIONS THAT THEY MAKE TO THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE NURSING SCIENCE. OVER 75% OF NURSES ARE NATIONALLY CERTIFIED IN THEIR AREA OF CLINICAL EXPERTISE! THE NATIONAL PERCENTAGE OF NURSES WHO ARE CERTIFIED IS BETWEEN 11 AND 15% AND AMONGST MAGNET FACILITIES IT IS 22%. SUPPORTING LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS ------------------------------ OVER THE YEARS, MERIDIAN HAS BEEN ABLE TO OFFER SUPPORT THROUGH CHARITABLE DONATIONS TO A HOST OF WORTHY, LOCAL NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. MERIDIAN ALSO ENCOURAGES OUR LEADERS, PHYSICIANS, AND TEAM MEMBERS TO SERVE ON A VARIETY OF BOARDS AND COMMUNITY GROUPS DEDICATED TO IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. AS A SOCIALLY CONSCIOUS MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY, MERIDIAN FOCUSES ITS CHARITABLE GIVING ON THE AREAS THAT SUPPORT OR ARE ALIGNED WITH MERIDIAN'S CHARITABLE MISSION. THESE INCLUDE; GROUPS THAT PROMOTE AWARENESS OF HEALTH-RELATED ISSUES; COMMUNITY ASSOCIATIONS THAT HELP THOSE IN NEED OBTAIN BASIC NECESSITIES LIKE FOOD, CLOTHING AND SHELTER; ORGANIZATIONS THAT ENCOURAGE YOUNG PEOPLE TO ACHIEVE THEIR POTENTIAL, USE THEIR IMAGINATION, AND KEEP THEM SAFE FROM HARM; SOCIAL SERVICES THAT PROVIDE RELIEF AND COUNSELING TO THOSE SUFFERING FROM ABUSE; AND EVENTS THAT PROMOTE HEALTHY ACTIVITY AND SOCIALIZATION SUCH AS COMMUNITY FESTIVALS AND WALKS. IN 2010, MERIDIAN PROVIDED $962 THOUSAND DOLLARS IN CASH AND IN-KIND SUPPORT. SOME OF THE GROUPS WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SUPPORT INCLUDE; AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY, AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION, AMERICAN RED CROSS, BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS, BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA, BROOKDALE COMMUNITY COLLEGE, FOODBANK OF MONMOUTH AND OCEAN COUNTIES, GEORGIAN COURT UNIVERSITY, GIRL SCOUTS OF AMERICA, HOLIDAY EXPRESS, LEUKEMIA & LYMPHOMA SOCIETY, MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION, MARCH OF DIMES, MONMOUTH PARK CHARITY FUND, MONMOUTH UNIVERSITY, OCEAN COUNTY COLLEGE, RED BANK RIVERCENTER, SHARING NETWORK, UNITED WAY AND COMMUNITY YMCA. COMMUNICATING ACROSS THE COUNTIES --------------------------------- MERIDIAN REGULARLY PUBLISHES TWO FREE CONSUMER MAGAZINE - HEALTHVIEWS - AND KIDSVIEWS - TO EDUCATE AND INFORM RESIDENTS OF MONMOUTH AND OCEAN COUNTIES ON TIMELY AND RELEVANT HEALTH TOPICS. HEALTHVIEWS FEATURES REAL-LIFE PATIENT STORIES THAT DETAIL HOW INDIVIDUALS RECEIVE THEIR DIAGNOSIS AND MAKE IMPORTANT TREATMENT DECISIONS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THEIR PHYSICIANS. THE MAGAZINE CONTAINS MERIDIAN'S CALENDAR OF EVENTS WHERE RESIDENTS CAN FIND FREE COMMUNITY EDUCATION AND SCREENING PROGRAMS AS WELL AS A VARIETY OF HEALTH AND WELLNESS TIPS. KIDVIEWS FEATURES REAL-LIFE PATIENT STORIES THAT DETAIL HOW PARENTS, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THEIR PHYSICIANS, MADE IMPORTANT TREATMENT DECISIONS REGARDING THEIR CHILD'S DIAGNOSIS. KIDVIEWS ALSO CONTAINS KID FRIENDLY CONTENT, PUZZLES AND GAMES FEATURING THE PAWSITIVE ACTION TEAM AS WELL AS A CALENDAR OF FREE COMMUNITY EDUCATION EVENTS AND OTHER PROGRAMS OFFERED THROUGHOUT MERIDIAN.
