| Part V, Line 4: | The Carlos G. Otis Health Care Center and the Grace Cottage Foundation use their endowment funds to provide a source of support and revenue to assist with the provision of health care and care services within their communities. The organizations' endowment funds are composed of the following balance types: - Funds that are composed of quasi-endowment, board designated assets, which have been set aside by the Board of Trustees but which the Board may, at its discretion, subsequently use for other purposes. Or, - Funds that are permanently restricted by the original donor, in which case the endowment's capital must be maintained but earnings on which can be used in furtherance of authorized purposes. In all instances, the endowment funds are invested in a prudent manner with regard to preserving principal while providing reasonable returns, and all endowment funds are to be used to fund capital improvements, hospital maintenance, and/or patient and care services. |

| Grace Cottage Hospital | Part V, Section B, Line 5: As required by Vermont statute and Treasury Regulation 501(r), Grace Cottage Hospital conducts a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) every three years. Our most recent CHNA was done collaboratively in 2024 with Brattleboro Memorial Hospital (BMH) and the Brattleboro Retreat. The three hospitals set up a steering committee made up of individuals from the Vermont Department of Health, the Vermont Agency of Human Services, United Way of Windham County, Brattleboro Memorial Hospital, Grace Cottage Hospital, and the Brattleboro Retreat.The healthcare organizations focused on involving as many stakeholders and community members as possible in the data collection process, which took place from January to June 2024. Primary data was obtained through a community-wide consumer survey and several segmented community focus groups. The consumer survey was distributed via paper copy and online. The focus groups were held in person. In total, 524 consumer surveys were collected for Windham County. The following medically underserved populations were represented in the surveys: - Elderly/Senior Population - Unhoused Population - New Americans (Immigrants) - LGBTQIA+ - Racial and Ethnic Minority Populations - Low-income individualsAdditionally, the participating organizations engaged a wide range of professional stakeholders through the surveys, including health care providers, town officials, human service organizations, and other nonprofit organizations.Secondary data was collected from multiple sources including: U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, U.S. Census, National Institute of Health, Feeding America, the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute's County Health Rankings & Roadmaps, Vermont Department of Health, Vermont Department of Mental Health, Vermont Department of Labor, Vermont Department of Education, Vermont Department of Transportation, Vermont Foodbank, Vermont Town and County Data Pages, and the Windham Regional Commission. The secondary data was benchmarked against state and national trends, where possible. Grace Cottage identified the following as High-Priority Significant Health Needs in our service area: access to Primary Care, Cancer Screening and prevention, and Mental Health Treatment and support.The Grace Cottage Board of Trustees adopted the 2024 Community Health Needs Assessment on Nov. 15, 2024, and the Board approved the Implementation Plan on March 21, 2025. An updated Implementation Plan is available for public viewing at:https://gracecottage.org/about-us/our-hospital/community-health-needs-assessment/ |
| Grace Cottage Hospital | Part V, Section B, Line 6a: The 2024 (tax years 2023-2025) Community Health Needs Assessment was conducted with input and assistance from Brattleboro Memorial Hospital and The Brattleboro Retreat. |
| Grace Cottage Hospital | Part V, Section B, Line 6b: The 2024 (tax years 2023-2025) Community Health Needs Assessment was conducted with input and assistance from the United Way, the Vermont Department of Health, and the Vermont Agency of Community Services. |
| Grace Cottage Hospital | Part V, Section B, Line 11: Please refer to the 2025 (tax year 2024) CHNA Implementation Plan at the link above for information on how the Hospital is addressing the significant needs identified in its most recently conducted CHNA.While area residents indicate that dental health is a significant health need in our service area, Grace Cottage Hospital is not addressing this, as we do not provide dental services. The Level 2 & 3 Priorities identified in the 2024 CHNA - Basic Needs (housing, food access, transportation, employment, safety) and Healthy Aging (heart disease and cardiovascular) - are addressed with all patients on an on-going and personal basis. |
| Grace Cottage Hospital | Part V, Section B, Line 13b: Generally, Grace Cottage Hospital uses the Federal Poverty Guidelines to determine eligibility for financial assistance. However, applications may be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and at times financial assistance granted even if a patient is above the prescribed FPG level or qualifies only for a lesser reduction in fees if there is a prevailing circumstance that justifies additional financial support. |
| Grace Cottage Hospital | Part V, Section B, Line 20e: Grace Cottage Hospital (GCH) located in rural, mountainous Townshend, VT provides services to patients, whether a community member, second homeowner, or vacationer, through our Critical Access Hospital, Rural Health Clinic, and Outpatient Rehabilitation. Taking pride in the community we serve, we make every attempt possible to notify patients of the Reduced Fee Program and Formal Payment Plan options at GCH that will allow patients to receive care without undue hardship. The following are some of the steps currently in place, to notify patients of the available options:- All registration areas of the Critical Access Hospital, Rural Health Clinic, and Outpatient Rehabilitation Services have visible signs on display notifying patients of our Reduced Fee Program.- All registration staff upon verification of no insurance, limited insurance coverage with high patient responsibility portions, or communication from patient indicating difficulty with paying bill, will offer a Reduced Fee Application, Policy, and business card for our Resource Advocate, identifying the many services she provides to patients free of charge and her contact information. Staff will also offer to schedule an appointment for the patient with Resource Advocate for assistance in completing the Reduced Fee Application, troubleshooting issues with insurance, and/or applying for insurance coverage whether it is primary or secondary.- Patients receive at least 5 billing statements over the course of 120-day time frame (patients in a formal payment plan or who have a billing issue arise may increase the number of statements to be received or increase the number of days to complete the 5 billing statement cycle). Every statement has a message that notifies them of the Reduced Fee Program and steps to take to get started.- Once a patient balance is past due (>30 days from date of first patient billing) Patient Accounts Specialists contact patients via phone in an attempt to alert patient to past due balance, offer a formal payment plan if balance unable to be paid in full. If/when patient indicates difficulty in paying their bill, Patient Accounts Specialists will notify patient of the Reduced Fee Program and offer to mail the application and policy to them. Patient Accounts Specialists note the patient account with a briefing of the phone call. If a patient balance is aged >120 days from the date of the first billing statement and a potential to be sent to a third- party collections agency the account is reviewed, if there is a note from patient accounts indicating a Reduced Fee application and policy have been mailed to the patient within the last 45 days a hold will be placed on transferring the balance to the third-party collections agency. After 45-60 days, if no Reduced Fee application or communication from the patient is received, the balance will be transferred to the third-party collection agency at that time.- All Reduced Fee applications are processed with required documentation to determine eligibility in accordance with our Sliding Fee Scale based on Federal Poverty Guidelines. If required documents are missing, a written request is sent to the patient and application held while awaiting documents. All processed applications are filed, written notice of eligibility is mailed to the patient, eligibility is noted on patient's account and adjustments are made manually after insurance processing and prior to a billing statement being mailed to the patient, and all applications are documented on a yearly spreadsheet showing household members, date of application (eligibility begin date), expiration date, whether they are eligible, percentage they are eligible for, and comments for case by case applications that identifies parameters for this approval/denial i.e.: only one date of service. |

| Part I, Line 3c: | N/A |
| Part I, Line 6a: | N/A |
| Part I, Line 7: | The amounts reported for Charity Care and Means-Tested Government Programs were calculated using a cost-to-charge ratio derived from Worksheet 2, Ratio of Patient Care Cost-to-Charges. |
| Part I, Line 7g: | N/A |
| Part I, Line 7, Column (f): | The Bad Debt expense included on Form 990, Part IX, Line 25, Column (A), but subtracted for purposes of calculating the percentage in this column is $ 1,272,744. |
| Part II, Community Building Activities: | See previous and subsequent narrative responses. |
| Part III, Line 2: | The cost of the bad debt expense reported on line 2 was calculated by applying the ratio of patient care cost-to-charges (calculated on Worksheet 2) to the total bad debt expense. The amount of bad debt expense for accounts written off as bad debt is the account balance after all charity care discounts, contractual allowances, and insurance/patient payments have been applied. Any cash collected on accounts previously written off is included as an offset to bad debt expense. |
| Part III, Line 3: | The amount of bad debt expense (at cost) attributable to patients eligible under our charity care policy reported on line 3 was estimated based on a review of Reduced Fee/Free Care Applications. The number of approved completed applications versus the number of incomplete applications was compared, and a ratio was applied to the Charity Care balance to estimate this number. It is felt that this estimate should actually be much higher because, though we work hard to educate our patients regarding the charity care policy, including having a Resource Advocate to help patients complete them if they require assistance, many of the applications we distribute to patients are not returned. Knowing our patient population as we do, we believe it is primarily attributable to patients not wanting to share the income information. |
| Part III, Line 4: | Footnote 1 of the Organization's audited financial statements detail the Organization's significant accounting policies, including the Organization's treatment of accounts receivable and uncollectible amounts. |
| Part III, Line 8: | Medicare allowable costs reported in the Medicare Cost Report are reported in accordance with CMS Guidelines using the cost-to-charge ratio methodology.As a Critical Access Hospital (CAH), the Organization is eligible for reimbursement of up to 101% of allowable Medicare costs and services. However, the Organization is subject to a 2% Medicare Sequestration, which resulted in a Medicare Shortfall reported on its Form 990, Schedule H, Part III, Section B. |
| Part III, Line 9b: | Grace Cottage Hospital does not pursue collection actions against patients for amounts qualified for financial assistance. If a patient is unable to pay a balance in full after reduced fees and financial assistance have been applied, the patient is required to set up an acceptable payment plan per the collections policy. Any patient making acceptable monthly payments on their balance will not be at risk for further collection actions and/or forfeiture of their reduced-fee care or financial assistance. However, any balance remaining after that discount that goes unpaid as agreed upon will follow the collection actions outlined in the Hospital's collection policy. Failure to resolve the balance in full or any missed payments will result in forfeiture of reduced fees and/or financial assistance, and the patient's account will be placed with a collection agency for further action. Additionally, the patient will not be eligible for reduced fees or financial assistance until a substantial effort is put forth to rectify the outstanding balance. Failure to resolve the balance in full or any missed payments will result in forfeiture of reduced fees and/or financial assistance, and the patient's account will be placed with a collections agency for further action. Additionally, the patient will not be eligible for reduced fees or financial assistance until a substantial effort is put forth to rectify the outstanding balance. |
| Part VI, Line 2: | Grace Cottage Hospital is such a small hospital in a rural, relatively sparsely populated area that our community leaders, patients, and members of the public are quick to inform our administrators and our medical staff about how Grace Cottage serves the healthcare needs of the public. Grace Cottage's small size ensures that we can be responsive to community requests made via our website, our monthly e-newsletter from the CEO to 3500+ community members, e-mails to members of our staff, or informal face-to-face meetings with people in the communities we serve. |
| Part VI, Line 3: | Although we are Vermont's smallest Critical Access Hospital, Grace Cottage Hospital believes that quality health care should be available to all; and that we all have a responsibility to help others in need regardless of their ability to pay. Posters and brochures detailing the availability of help with billing, public programs, and charity care are displayed in high traffic areas throughout the Hospital, rural health clinic, and pharmacy, as well as listed on the Hospital's website. The staff reaches out to patients in a variety of ways to ensure that they are aware that help is available. During fiscal year 2024, the Hospital continued to employ a Patient Resource Advocate to help uninsured and underinsured patients locate and procure services for which they may qualify. The Patient Resource Advocate's services are free of charge for community members (those 65 and older were also encouraged to contact Senior Solutions, formerly Southeastern Vermont Council on Aging). The Hospital's Patient Resource Advocate helps many people with a wide variety of resource issues, helping to fill out necessary forms and making connections for patients with other federal, state and local resources. This employee is an expert in filling out reduced fee applications, finding sources for reduced-cost or free prescription medications, and locating other avenues of support. |
| Part VI, Line 4: | Grace Cottage Hospital plays a vital role in healthcare for this rural, mountainous community. Its federal designation as a critical access hospital recognizes its importance in providing health care to an otherwise medically underserved community. The Hospital's emergency department is especially vital to members of the community, who would otherwise have to travel many miles on winding, mountainous highways to reach emergency medical care at another hospital. Grace Cottage Hospital is located in Windham County, in southeastern Vermont. According to the 2020 U.S. Census, Windham County has an estimated total of 45,905 residents. Grace Cottage Hospital's patient base is approximately 30,000 residents, mostly from 21 surrounding towns. The median household income of Windham County, Vermont, is $68,021 (2020 U.S. Census). Income statistics for the total population served by Grace Cottage Hospital are not available because Grace Cottage only requires income information from patients requesting reduced fees or free care. |
| Part VI, Line 5: | Grace Cottage Hospital is a Critical Access Hospital located in rural, mountainous Townshend, Vermont. The Hospital is served by a Board of Trustees consisting of local citizens active in community businesses and organizations. All trustees reside or work in the Hospital's service area, and bring a wealth of community input to the Hospital's strategic planning process. The Hospital extends medical staff privileges to all qualified physicians in the community.Grace Cottage Hospital applies any surplus funds towards improving its ability to provide quality patient care and being an integral part of assuring the health and well-being of the communities we serve. For example, in view of the fact that Mental Health was identified as a High Priority Significant Need in our Community Health Needs Assessment, Grace Cottage continues to employ two full-time psychiatric nurse practitioners and a full-time licensed clinical social worker. All of these professionals are embedded in the family health practice, where they are key players in the healthcare team. Despite its small size, Grace Cottage Hospital is committed to giving back to the community to the greatest extent possible. Grace Cottage's Community Health Team has been able to provide free consultations, open to everyone in the community served by Grace Cottage. Members of the Community Health Team include a Diabetes Educator and an RN Care Coordinator. Grace Cottage Hospital is a very active partner in numerous community collaborations and programs, including (but not limited to): - West River Valley Thrives: supporting and promoting healthy lifestyle choices, with an emphasis on the prevention of alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use by young people. - Townshend Community Hope and Action: promoting a healthy, connected community through area events and education. - West River Valley Food Group/Vermont Food Bank: organizing the procurement and distribution of food to those in need. A VeggieVanGo truck hosted by Grace Cottage comes from the Vermont Food Bank to Newfane once a month for free food distribution of fresh produce and other healthy food items. No proof of eligibility is required. On average, 250 individuals take the free food home to their families. - Windham County Community Substance Use Response (CSUR) is a collaborative effort that grew out of the 2019-2022 Consortium on Substance Use (COSU), a three-year, multi-agency collaboration funded by a $1 million federal Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) grant and a VT Department of Health Community Action grant through the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention. These grants were awarded to COSU with Health Care & Rehabilitation Services of Southeastern Vermont, Inc. (HCRS), serving as its fiscal agent. When grant funding ended in 2022, some of the agencies chose to carry on this important work and formed a new consortium called Community Substance Use Response (CRSU); Grace Cottage is a collaborating partner with this consortium. CRSU's work focuses on collaborative prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery efforts. It also aims to increase education and awareness within communities to address the devastating impacts of heroin, fentanyl and other substances on Windham County. - Accountable Communities for Health: a network of partners that support measurable improvement in meeting the needs of families and individuals in our community. Focus is on developing systems to improve community health and well-being; supporting appropriate use of resources; and improving access to community services. - Community Wellness: Current programs offered free to the community are Strong Bones exercise classes and Tai Chi strength and balance classes. In response to the last Community Health Needs Assessment, the Hospital has worked collaboratively with local schools and organizations to promote healthy, fun activities and to provide opportunities that make the most of staying as healthy as possible. Heavily promoted activities included a 5K in the spring, and a snowshoe gathering in the late winter. Grace Cottage Hospital plays a pivotal role in Emergency/Disaster Preparedness in this rural, mountainous area of Windham County, Vermont. The Hospital works collaboratively with: - the local town volunteer fire and first responder rescue departments; - the regional ambulance service, Rescue Inc.; - Windham County Regional Commission - the Local Emergency Planning Committee covering the towns that Grace Cottage serves; - the local Citizens Emergency Response Team (CERT); - Vermont Association of Hospitals and Health Systems; - Vermont Department of Health.Grace Cottage Hospital staff participate in onsite training for disaster preparedness as well as offsite training with other hospitals. |
