MISSION STATEMENT
PART III, Line 1
Upper Valley Professional Corporation, as a subsidiary of UVMC, serves as an integral part in achieving UVMC's mission: UVMC will strive to provide quality care that upholds the dignity of all individuals. Care will be given in a holistic manner without regard to race, religion, creed, national origin or social status. Our health care delivery system is structured to optimize the delivery of safe, efficient and cost-effective health care.
PROGRAM SERVICES
PART III, Line 4a
The primary exempt purpose of Upper Valley Professional Corporation (UVPC) is to provide primary health care services to individuals in the community served by Upper Valley Medical Center, a related, tax-exempt hospital. As a part of the UVMC health system, Upper Valley Professional Corporation provides charity care to its patients and is committed to preserving long-term access to quality health care services for Miami County and the surrounding area. This organization was formed in 1994 to assure access to appropriate care at an acceptable cost for patients in a managed care environment. UVMC Mission: UVMC will strive to provide quality care that upholds the dignity of all individuals. Care will be given in a holistic manner without regard to race, religion, creed, national origin or social status. Our health care delivery system will be structured to optimize the delivery of safe, efficient and cost-effective health care. UVMC Vision: UVMC is committed to preserving long-term access to quality health care services for Miami County and the surrounding area. UVMC Values: Quality customer service is an absolute priority at UVMC. Our environment is one where people treat each other with kindness and respect. Our culture is defined by "Caring Plus" - UVMC's commitment to quality, kindness and compassion for our patients, visitors and each other. During 2011, Upper Valley Professional Corporation provided care at seven locations in Miami and Darke counties. A Covington office was added in 2011. Services include family medicine, internal medicine, and pediatrics. There were 75,774 office visits to physicians, as well as additional visits for nurse procedures, supplies and lab work. Medical services are provided to all individuals, regardless of ability to pay. Upper Valley Professional Corporation also participates in government-sponsored health care programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. UPPER VALLEY PROFESSIONAL CORPORATION provides charity care to its patients and it is determined case-by-case, based on the patient's individual circumstances and needs. Patients who are identified for potential charity care are asked to complete a finance statement. If that statement shows that a patient meets the federal poverty guidelines, the balance of their account is written off to charity care. If at a level just slightly above the federal poverty guideline, then a portion of their account may be written off. If not close to the federal poverty guideline, but there is a large amount of debt related to medical bills or if they have experienced a recent catastrophic event, they may also be eligible for a full or partial charity care write off. All charity cases are reviewed by the business office manager prior to being written off. A web-based software application designed to streamline processes between the hospital, physicians' offices, and the patient came to Upper Valley Professional Corporation in the spring of 2011. The Proxsys system facilitates the collection of patient information, precertification of patients and the scheduling of patient tests. Those processes in place make it easier for the hospital to work with the patient and the physician's offices. This creates a better patient experience.

PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 7B
Premier Health Partners (PHP) develops and oversees the implementation of the strategic plan for UVMC (parent corporation), which addresses such matters as location of clinical and administrative services and the consolidation of such services.

REVIEW OF FORM 990
PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B
The 990 tax return and attached schedules are prepared by staff members of the UVMC Finance department which includes Upper Valley Professional Corporation. Draft returns are reviewed by the Budget and Reimbursement Manager, Controller and Chief Financial Officer. After revisions are made, the draft returns are sent to Ernst & Young, LLP (E&Y) for review and evaluation. Review Notes are made available by E&Y, changes are made, and then the returns are reviewed again by the finance management team. An electronic version of the return is provided to the Upper Valley Professional Corporation Board of Directors at least one week prior to the board meeting. At that meeting, the Chief Financial Officer of UVMC presents detailed information on compensation and community benefits, as well as addresses questions from the board. The board then approves the return and associated schedules for filing.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST PROCESS
PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C
Premier Health Partners (PHP), of which Upper Valley Professional Corporation is included, requires all board members, officers, executives and management personnel to annually review the PHP Comprehensive Conflict of Interest Statement, an explanatory memorandum, the Antitrust Compliance Policy and complete an individual questionnaire disclosing any potential conflicts as defined in the Conflicts of Interest Policy. This is accomplished with a memo sent out annually from the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of PHP to all board members, executive directors, management directors and above, purchasing department staff and authorized purchasers. It also includes an explanatory memorandum of specific activities that might give cause to a conflict and an individual questionnaire to disclose all such activities. This questionnaire must be completed and signed by the individual. Last, this memo includes a copy of the Antitrust Compliance Policy that must be signed by the individual. All of these documents are sent to the Corporate Compliance Officer. The Corporate Compliance Department ensures all forms are returned and retains the documents for five years. In addition, at each meeting of the Board or any Board committee, following approval of the minutes, the Board Committee Chair shall request any board member who perceives a potential conflict of interest on any of the meeting's agenda items to disclose such conflict. Additionally, any Board or Board Committee meeting where the subject of conflicts of interest is discussed, the normally taken minutes shall contain the name of the party discussing a potential conflict of interest, the nature of the potential conflict of interest and whether a conflict of interest was found to exist. If a conflict of interest does exist, the board member will be excused from participating in any discussion or voting on the particular agenda item. The Corporate Compliance Officer reports the results of the PHP Conflicts of Interest questionnaires no less than annually to the Board of Trustees by way of the Compliance and Audit Committee. This review is documented in the minutes of the meeting. Periodically, the Internal Audit department will review a sample of completed Conflict of Interest questionnaires and report the results to the Compliance and Audit Committee. The annual conflicts of interest questionnaires are summarized by person in a word document and sent electronically to the Finance department for any necessary disclosures required on the 990 tax return.
OFFICES & POSITIONS FOR WHICH PROCESS WAS USED, & YEAR PROCESS WAS BEGUN
PART VI, LINE 15A & 15B
Premier Health Partners, of which Upper Valley Professional Corporation is a part, follows a market-based compensation philosophy designed to attract and retain the executive talent required to meet the high performance standards of our board and our community. PHP annually reviews executive compensation survey data for a regional peer group of systems and hospitals that are similar in size and complexity to PHP and its subsidiaries. The data for the survey is provided by a third party consultant group that is independent of PHP. The report includes comparability for key executives, vice presidents and director level positions. The independent comparability data is reviewed by the executive compensation committee on an annual basis. This committee is comprised of three members, all of which are independent. This committee reviews in detail the compensation for the PHP CEO, COO, CFO, Chief Strategy Officer and the hospital CEOs. Other positions are reviewed at a high level for reasonableness. All the meeting minutes are documented and kept on file along with any comparability data and the consultant report. After the compensation committee reviews and approves the compensation actions, the process is audited by the internal audit department. The executive compensation committee presents the compensation actions to the PHP board annually.
