COMPENSATION REVIEW
PART VI, SECTION B, QUESTION 15
Via Christi Health, Inc. (VCH) has established a common philosophy, strategy, and processes for executive compensation to be used throughout the Via Christi Health System. VCH's philosophy, strategy and process for executive compensation are described next. Through the oversight of the VCH Executive Compensation Committee, executive compensation is competitively positioned at its stated market position when compared to the compensation paid by relevant organizations (comparably-sized health systems, hospitals, and long-term care providers). VCH recognizes its responsibility to ensure that its executive compensation program is appropriate in view of its mission and tax-exempt status and that its compensation levels and expenditures are reasonable and not excessive. To ensure these ends, the VCH Executive Compensation Committee has established and approved the executive compensation philosophy for VCH and all related entities. It will also approve all changes in the compensation package for VCH executives in advance. On an annual basis, the Committee conducts a comprehensive review of total compensation for all executives. It also reviews and approves "off-cycle" compensation transactions as needed. In their review, the Committee considers the following factors: * Market data from independent compensation surveys and sources that reflect comparable positions in organizations of similar size and scope * Difficulties in recruiting and retaining executives * Skills, experience and performance history of individual executives * Critical business or strategic issues that the organization may face * Market position for total compensation The adequacy, competitiveness, and cost of the VCH total executive compensation program are reviewed on an ongoing basis and changes are made as the Committee determines appropriate. The executive compensation program will be maintained such that it will fall within the safe harbor guidelines established by the Intermediate Sanctions regulations. The Committee also employs the services of an independent compensation consultant to prepare market analysis to aid and support the Committee's actions, provide documentation of market trends for budget setting purposes, review annual compensation changes to ensure "reasonableness" and provide attestation, and provide consultation on all executive compensation issues. The Committee also relies on third-party validation of performance measures used in the determination of compensation.

VIA CHRISTI HEALTH, INC.'S GOVERNING DOCUMENTS AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY ARE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC UPON REQUEST.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT
The community benefit contribution of Via Christi Health, Inc. includes programs and activities that improve access to health care and improve health in the communities we serve. In order to portray the full breadth of our contribution, our community benefit information is described below: QUALITATIVE DESCRIPTION OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT I. Ministry Commitment to Providing Community Benefit A. Mission and Primary Exempt Purpose Via Christi Health, Inc., a Catholic health system, adopted this Mission: "Inspired by the Gospel and our Catholic tradition, we serve as a healing presence with special concern for our neighbors who are vulnerable."Via Christi Health, Inc.'s history extends back over 100 years and today, along with our sponsoring congregations - The Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother, Congregation of St. Joseph, Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondolet and the Daughters of Charity we continue to respond to community needs in Kansas and northeastern Oklahoma. The obligation to reach out to those in need and improve community health flows directly from our identity as a faith-based healing ministry. As a mission-driven organization, we provide community benefit because we are committed to our core values of: Human Dignity - we recognize and respect the sacredness of each person. Stewardship - we responsibly care for all resources entrusted to us. Excellence - we extend ourselves in outstanding service. B. Approach to Providing Community Benefit Via Christi Health, Inc. serves people throughout Kansas and northeastern Oklahoma. Issues and trends of significance in our community include increasing unemployment and poverty, a growing elderly population, and growing population of uninsured families. Ministries within Via Christi Health, Inc. collaborate with other community organizations to address some of these issues and trends, including, but not limited to, Childrens Miracle Network, the United Way, and Catholic Social Services. C. Financial Assistance Policies and Programs Via Christi Health, Inc. has policies and programs in place to ensure that billing and collection processes for uninsured/underinsured persons reflect our commitment to human dignity and meet the financial and local needs in the communities in which we operate. All ministries operated by Via Christi Health, Inc. utilize these policies and review the financial condition of uninsured and underinsured patients and clients to determine their qualification of charity care by utilizing the TransUnion software. II. Ministry Description for Tax Exemption As a Catholic not-for-profit healthcare corporation grounded in gospel values, we provide leadership and governance in the design and implementation of integrated healthcare and related services. Empowered by the gospel imperative, "whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers and sisters, you do to me," (matthew 25:40) We seek to provide quality healthcare to all people, particularly the poor and underserved members of our society." Financial surpluses are used to fulfill our charitable purpose. The board of directors for Via Christi Health, Inc. includes members of the local community. Ministries within our organization offer free and/or discounted care to persons without adequate financial means to pay for such services. This includes the participation in Medicaid, Medicare, CHAMPUS, Tricare and/or other government-sponsored health care programs. QUANTIFIABLE DESCRIPTION OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION IN THIS REPORT WAS PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CATHOLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION'S (CHA) COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORTING GUIDELINES. THESE GUIDELINES RECOMMEND THE FOLLOWING: * REPORT CHARITY CARE AT COST, NOT CHARGES * DO NOT INCLUDE BAD DEBT, CONTRACTUAL ALLOWANCES, AND QUICK PAY DISCOUNTS AS PART OF CHARITY CARE EXPENSE. * DO NOT COUNT MEDICARE SHORTFALL AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT * REPORT THE NET EXPENSE FOR COMMUNITY BENEFIT SERVICES (E.G. THE TOTAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE MINUS ANY ASSOCIATED REVENUE FROM PATIENTS, PAYERS, AND OTHER EXTERNAL SOURCES.) THE CHA GUIDELINES REFLECT A CONSERVATIVE APPROACH TO REPORTING QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THE GOAL OF THE REPORTING GUIDELINES IS TO PRODUCE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FINANCIAL REPORTS THAT REFLECT TRUE COSTS AND THAT DESCRIBE COMMUNITY BENEFIT ACTIVITIES THAT INCREASE ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE AND IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH. FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 COMMUNITY BENEFIT (CORPORATE OFFICE ONLY): $215,357 COMMUNITY BENEFIT (VIA CHRISTI HEALTH, INC.
