Part III, line 2 The cost/charge ratio derived from Worksheet 2, was used to determine bad debt expense.Part ll Community Building Activities"Membership in Local Community GroupsBarlow representatives hold membership in numerous local community groups. As group members, Barlow representatives are involved in discussions which identify/clarify community issues, development and implementation strategies to address the issues, and monitoring and evaluating progress toward established goals.Barlow representatives serve as liaison between community groups and civic/business leaders. Currently Barlow representatives are involved with the Echo Park Improvement Association, Echo Park Historical Society, Echo Park Chamber of Commerce, Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, and Los Angeles Rotary Club."Meeting FacilityBarlow Respiratory Hospital provides a safe, clean, convenient facility and parking for community-based non-commercial groups to meet and discuss issues important to the community such as public and personal safety, public health issues, emergency preparedness, and public education. Barlow contributes its facility to act as the polling place for all local, state, and national elections.Various non-commercial, community-based groups use Barlow Respiratory Hospital meeting facilities because it is a clean and safe environment to hold meetings. Barlow will continue to offer, at minimal cost, its facilities and parking to local community-based groups including:1.Citizens Committee to Save Elysian Park2.Echo Park Historical Society3.Echo Park Improvement Association4.Echo Park Security Association5.Los Angeles County Historical Society6.Los Angeles County - Department of Health Services - Child Abuse Prevention Program7.Los Angeles County - Department of Health Services Sexual Transmitted Disease Program8.Trudeau Society of Los Angeles County9.BREATHE California of Los Angeles County10.California Society for Respiratory Care11.Sierra Club Part lll, line 4 Due to the very low amount of bad debt expense incurred, there is no separate footnote in the audited financial statement that addresses bad debt expense.Part III, line 6 The Medicare cost report cost finding methodology was used to determine the cost of services to Medicare patients.
