COMMUNITY BENEFIT STATEMENT	CORE FORM, PART III, STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS	Meridian has been viewed as a leader in developing the full continuum of care, providing integrated services to ensure our patients receive coordinated and seamless care from diagnosis to treatment and rehabilitation. The following updates show how we are shaping the future of health care and speak to our philosophy that its not the ability to do a single thing well, but the unique ability to do everything better. Meridian Cancer Care - Getting You Back to the Life You Love ------------------------------------------------------------ Under the leadership of Mark Krasna, M.D., corporate medical director for Meridian Cancer Care, Meridian is continuing to improve cancer care delivery. Meridian Cancer Care is part of Robert Wood Johnson University Medical School and a system partner with the Cancer Institute of New Jersey, the only National Cancer Institute designated Cancer Center in the state of New Jersey. The renewed focus on a multi-disciplinary, patient-oriented approach provides opportunities for both state-of-the-art care and research trials. Meridian has instituted nine disease site-specific multi- disciplinary conferences, which allow physicians to prospectively discuss cases and reach a consensus regarding what is ultimately the best treatment plan for each patient. Ten new disease site-specific cancer nurse navigators help simplify the complex world of cancer care by coordinating doctor visits and providing education and access to important resources at all Meridian hospitals. Meridian CardioVascular Network Regions Most Complete, Most Coordinated Care -------------------------------------------------------------- Jersey Shore University Medical Center became one of the first programs in the state to offer Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), a new minimally invasive procedure to treat critical aortic stenosis, recently approved by the FDA. The partnership between cardiothoracic surgeons and cardiologists establishes the core of the TAVR Heart Team. In addition, the Congenital Heart Disease Program continued to make strides in treating Atrial Septal Defect (ASD), a common and potentially fatal congenital heart abnormality with potentially serious consequences. ASD patients can now be treated with the Amplatzer Septal Occluder an FDA approved device providing a less invasive alternative to cardiac surgery. In 2012, Meridian Health launched the Heart and Sole Cup, a series of 5K run/walks at Ocean Medical Center, Bayshore Community Hospital and Jersey Shore University Medical Center. In its first year, nearly 1,000 runners participated in the series. Jersey Shore University Medical Center, Ocean Medical Center, and Riverview Medical Center have received System Heart Failure Accreditation by the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care (SCPC). The Heart Failure accreditation recognizes expertise in providing quality care to patients who are treated for heart failure. Only 72 centers nationally and internationally have received this accreditation, and the three Meridian hospitals are the only certified programs in New Jersey. Meridian Neuroscience A Moment Changes Everything --------------------------------------------------- Meridian Neuroscience specialists have continued to develop programs to diagnose and treat a range of conditions from stroke to brain tumors and spine injuries to sleep disorders. Over the past two years, Bayshore Community Hospital has seen significant growth in their stroke services and as a designated Primary Stroke Center, Bayshore is preparing for Joint Commission Certification in Stroke to join Riverview Medical Center, Ocean Medical Center, and Jersey Shore University Medical Center with this added distinction. In addition, we continued to expand our clinical trials with the DIAS-4 Study, where we offered our patients the latest clot-busting drug to treating acute and ischemic stroke. As the spokesperson for Meridian Neuroscience, NFL Hall of Famer Harry Carson is leading the way in educating our community about prevention and wellness. At Neptune High School, Harry teamed up with Meridian experts for an evening of lifesaving information on risk factors, prevention, and detection of stroke. At Colts Neck High School, Harry stressed the importance of concussion awareness, especially in children and adolescents. Meridian Pediatric Network Care in Your Community Connected to More Than 100 Specialists --------------------------------------------------------------------- Meridian Pediatric Network continues to address the needs of our youngest patients with the completion of pediatric care centers located at each of our hospitals. With this, families will have access to more than 100 pediatric specialists and the most coordinated care throughout the region. With the increased occurrence of concussions among children, Meridian Pediatric Network and our expert team of pediatric sports medicine physicians have developed a comprehensive concussion program, which utilizes the latest in baseline testing and detection to properly treat our youngest patients. In the summer of 2012, Jersey Shore University Medical Center hosted a pep rally where hundreds of children, parents, team members, and soccer supporters gathered to cheer on U.S. Womens Soccer Team Captain, role model, hometown hero, and spokesperson for K. Hovnanian Childrens Hospital Christie Rampone before she left for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. After leading the team to a gold medal victory, an even bigger celebration was held once she returned home. Doctor Bernard celebrates his milestone 5th birthday with the rest of the Pawsitive Action Team, which is now closing in on its 10,000th member! For the past five years, he and his pals Hopscotch and Picatso have had a positive influence on teaching our regions children about staying healthy, eating right and being safe. Jersey Shore University Medical Center -------------------------------------- First Hospital in New Jersey to Receive Advanced Certification in Palliative Care ----------------------------------------------------------------- Jersey Shore is the first hospital in the state to receive the Advanced Certification in Palliative Care from The Joint Commission a true testament to the quality and compassion that distinguishes Meridian Health and Jersey Shores Palliative Care Program. Palliative care is specialized medical care that provides patients at any age or stage of illness with relief from the symptoms, pain and stress that accompany serious illnesses. The Joint Commissions Advanced Certification for Palliative Care recognizes hospital inpatient programs that demonstrate exceptional patient and family-centered care and optimize the quality of life for patients with serious illness. Training Future Physicians -------------------------- The academic programs at Jersey Shore University Medical Center continue to excel. Through our affiliation with Rutgers Medical School, Jersey Shore expanded the teaching program of students in their third and fourth year of medical school to provide experiences in all required rotations, and also placed first year medical students with select primary care physicians to learn the art and science of family medicine. The residency training programs in OB/GYN, pediatrics, and internal medicine emphasize evidenced-based medicine, and graduates continue their training at some of the nations most prestigious hospitals. Students also take advantage of practice opportunities within Meridian Healths OB/GYN and internal medicine departments, and a residency program in podiatry will commence in 2013. Finally, Meridian continues to expand the Continuing Medical Education program, offering more than 700 hours of education in 2012, an increase of more than 60 percent since 2008!
COMMUNITY BENEFIT STATEMENT (CONTINUED)	CORE FORM, PART III, STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS	Innovative Research for a Healthier Future ------------------------------------------ Meridian Health, through its Office of Clinical Research and undergraduate, graduate, and continuing medical education programs, is dedicated to advancing medical knowledge, training physicians of tomorrow, and educating physicians in practice with the latest medical information. Meridians system-wide research program provides the community with the latest clinical trials in many specialty areas. 2012 witnessed the launch of a landmark study in the management of hypertension, SYMPLICITY HTN-3, as well as continuation of a ground-breaking study on genetic mutations and new treatments for thyroid cancer. The thyroid cancer research has led to a new test to predict the development of this form of cancer in high risk patients and reduce unnecessary surgery. It has been cited in the New England Journal of Medicine and holds great promise for families with a history of thyroid cancer. K. Hovnanian Childrens Hospital -------------------------------- Baby-Friendly has Arrived! -------------------------- The birth of a new baby brings joy to every family, and right from the beginning, every mother wants to make healthy choices for her newborn. As a Baby-Friendly designated hospital, Jersey Shore University Medical Center is one of only 150 American hospitals recognized by the World Health Organization and the United Nations Childrens Fund as providing the best quality care and support for breastfeeding mothers and their babies. As a Baby-Friendly Hospital, Jersey Shore provides the resources, confidence and skills that can help a mother embrace breastfeeding a powerful and preventive practice with many health benefits. A New Home for Pediatric Same Day Surgery ----------------------------------------- Thanks to advances in medical technology and surgical expertise, pediatric surgical procedures are most often performed on an outpatient basis, allowing children to return home the same day. Pediatric Same Day Services provides children with dedicated, comprehensive care for todays most common procedures, including procedural sedation, CAT scan and MRI, blood tests, special testing and surgical services all performed in a family-centered and child friendly environment. And weve recently relocated and expanded our space and services to provide a more convenient and comfortable area for pediatric patients and their families. Expert Concussion Care ---------------------- By utilizing the latest in baseline testing and detection, our expert team of pediatric specialists have developed several programs to screen, detect and treat children who have suffered concussions, sports injuries, accidents and falls. Located in the new Pediatric Specialty Care Center on K. Hovnanian Childrens Hospitals campus, the outpatient offices deliver the most advanced care in a convenient, state-of-the-art setting. Treating High Risk Children for Heart Disease --------------------------------------------- We support families to make healthy lifestyle changes for themselves to reduce a childs risk for the early onset of heart disease. Our new pediatric lipid program evaluates and treats children and adolescents who have high levels of lipids in their blood, as elevated lipids, particularly cholesterol, put young people at risk for heart disease later in life. Children and their families work with a pediatric cardiologist and pediatric nurse specialist trained in lipid disorders to review family health history, assess a childs risk, and develop a plan of care thats right for every child. Its the Tops...Nationally Recognized Pediatric Surgery, Close to Home ---------------------------------------------------------------------- K. Hovnanian Childrens Hospital participates in the American College of Surgeons with the National Surgical Quality Improvement Pediatric Program, which allows hospitals to collect highly reliable clinical data and compare their surgical outcomes with those from other childrens hospitals in the program. K. Hovnanian Childrens Hospital is the only childrens hospital in New Jersey and one of 47 hospitals in the nation to work closely with this elite group of childrens hospitals dedicated to advancing pediatric surgery. Ocean Medical Center -------------------- A Personal Touch and Care Coordination Improving Access to Primary Care -------------------------------------------------------------------- With the landscape of health care dramatically changing, building a strong, well aligned primary care physician base is critical to meet the needs of the community in the years to come. Ocean Medical Center has been steadfast in its recruitment strategies for primary care physicians. In fact, Oceans team was excited to welcome 19 primary care physicians to the medical staff over the past year and a half. Many of these physicians are joining or establishing offices in key areas of growth, such as Toms River and Jackson. Growing Emergency Services in More Than One Way There has been a great deal of activity pertaining to emergency services at both Ocean Care Center and Ocean Medical Center. Located in Point Pleasant, Ocean Care Center has broken away from being a best kept secret and saw exceptional growth in volume and awareness in 2012. Wait times are now posted online and comprehensive marketing efforts resulted in strong growth, serving 14 percent more visits over the prior year. On the main hospital campus, a physical transformation is underway to improve emergency services. A groundbreaking ceremony kicked off an $82 million Master Facility Plan, which will include the new Hirair and Anna Hovnanian Emergency Care Center. Perhaps just as impressive as the physical grandeur of the project is the success of fundraising efforts to support it. Over $7 million has been raised to date, and several record breaking gifts from community members, physicians, and team members have energized a new era of giving at Ocean Medical Center. Ocean is on the Move and Getting Noticed ---------------------------------------- Increasing public awareness of Oceans capabilities and clinical strengths was a priority in 2012. An awareness campaign hit the public, as well as a campaign focused on Total Joint Replacement, which resulted in improvements in consumer perception. Beyond the local market, Ocean received national recognition as a best hospital in US News & World Report and was placed in the top five percent nationally for clinical performance. A Healing Touch for the Most Complex Wounds ------------------------------------------- Recognizing a tremendous need in the greater Ocean County market, the Center for Wound Healing was opened in June 2012. A unique team of doctors, nurses and therapists create an interdisciplinary approach to healing chronic wounds. For the most complex cases, the Center has two hyperbaric oxygen chambers that provide a concentrated level of oxygen to promote healing. Record Volumes and Expanded Services Pick up the Pace for Cardiovascular Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ensuring that comprehensive cardiac services are available locally and close to home for residents is a priority at Ocean Medical Center. In 2012, Oceans cardiac catheterization laboratory experienced a 21% increase in primary angioplasty cases, hitting a record number of 100 lifesaving emergency procedures. Ocean also started a pacemaker program, which completed 31 pacemaker cases in the first three months, exceeding the number of cases anticipated for year one. Cardiac capabilities for inpatients expanded, as 40 additional medical/surgical beds were outfitted with telemetry monitoring, bringing the number to 116 hospital wide. This makes it possible to reduce patient holding in the Emergency Department, and better accommodate post-operative patients on a surgical unit. Other cardiac highlights include Chest Pain and Heart Failure Accreditations from the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care.

An Experience That is Outstanding --------------------------------- Riverview Medical Center was once again 'Distinguished' by J.D. Power and Associates for Outpatient Services. The J.D. Power and Associates 'An Outstanding Patient Experience' recognition is one of the most prestigious health care distinctions in the nation. Unlike many other industry awards, the research behind the nationally-recognized honor is grounded in candid interviews with over 300 patients who have experienced Riverview first hand. Less than one percent of hospitals across the country receive this distinction. Riverviews wide array of outpatient programs provides quality care and service in a timely manner. These include same-day surgery, imaging, cancer care, rehabilitation, womens diagnostics, pain management, cardiac care, Crohns and colitis care, and emergency care.

In addition, the Jane H. and John Marshall Booker Cancer Center at Riverview was recognized as one of the nations best by the Commission on Cancer and was awarded the 'Outstanding Achievement Award,' designed to recognize cancer programs that strive for excellence in providing quality care to cancer patients. In 2012, the Womens Center at Riverview was designated a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence by the American College of Radiology. In addition, Riverview received the 2012 Target: Stroke Honor Roll Award for its commitment to and success in improving care for stroke patients, one of only 135 hospitals in the United States to receive this award.

Southern Ocean Medical Center ----------------------------- A New Experience for Kids at the Pediatric Care Center at Southern Ocean Medical Center ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The new Martin Truex Jr. Pediatric Care Center at Southern Ocean Medical Center was separated from the adult Emergency Department in order to create a calmer, more inviting environment for children. The Center features an observation area staffed by a dedicated team of board certified pediatricians, as well as dedicated pediatric emergency care beds with in-room accommodations for parents. This Center has been designed as a kid and family-friendly center specializing in emergency care in a cheerful environment to truly meet the needs of children. Southern Ocean Celebrates Anniversary Milestone at Forty Fest ------------------------------------------------------------- Picture perfect fall weather, a bit of history, music, games and seasonal dcor comprised the festive backdrop for a fun-filled Forty Fest celebration at Southern Ocean in September of 2012. The extended hospital family, including team members, physicians, donors, auxilians, volunteers and Foundation board members and Community Advisory Committee members, gathered with their families to celebrate Southern Oceans 40th anniversary. Southern Ocean Grows Services to Meet the Health Needs of a Growing Community ------------------------------------------------------------------- Southern Ocean Medical Center continues to expand its services to better serve the community. The orthopedic program has grown with the addition of several new orthopedic surgeons who provide unique expertise in subspecialties such as shoulder surgery and foot and ankle surgery. The program has been expanded with the addition of a new urologist and urodynamic diagnostic and rehabilitative services. Neuroscience services have also grown with a new concussion program and spine program. Southern Oceans maternity program has expanded and now offers an all-female practice as an option for women. Finally, the general surgery program continues to grow with the addition of new surgeons specializing in minimally invasive surgery. This progress ensures the highest level of care for our friends and neighbors right in their own community. Bayshore Community Hospital --------------------------- Funding a Vision ---------------- Several members of the community have shown their support of Bayshore Community Hospital through generous donations. The first donation was a $5 million charitable contribution from Janice Mitchell Vassar, whose sole desire, in her words, is to 'make my hospital the best hospital it can be.' Given in honor of the memory of her brother, Ashby John Mitchell, Mrs. Vassars gift will propel Bayshores vision to significantly grow cardiovascular services, as well as enhance access to services for the vision impaired throughout the communities Meridian Health serves. The second gift came by way of Evaristo (Evey) and Tammi Stanziale of Holmdel, NJ. The Stanziale family felt strongly about supporting Bayshores vision after having several positive experiences with Bayshore and Meridian Health over the past two decades. In addition to the generous financial support from Evey and Tammi, Evey decided that a monetary donation was simply not enough and joined as a Trustee of Bayshore Community Hospital Foundation. Taking Care of Our Littlest Patients ------------------------------------ Bayshore Community Hospital celebrated the opening of its new Pediatric Care Center, an affiliate of K. Hovnanian Childrens Hospital at Jersey Shore University Medical Center. The Center opened its doors to better serve the needs of the children in the Northern Monmouth community, providing a completely new experience and enhanced level of care for pediatric patients and families. The Pediatric Care Center was immediately embraced by the community, indicated by a substantial increase in patient satisfaction scores, as well as double digit growth in volume. It features an observation area staffed by a dedicated team of board certified pediatricians who are on call around the clock and an emergency care section staffed by certified emergency physicians. The child-friendly approach and design is bright and cheerful, and offers in-room accommodations for parents. Its Time to Stop Counting Sheep -------------------------------- Bayshore Community Hospital recently celebrated the opening of a new Center for Sleep Medicine, a service of Meridian Neuroscience. Bayshore has been helping patients find more restful sleep since 2000, when a Center opened within the hospital. Now, the newly opened Center for Sleep Medicine is located in a renovated home just a few doors down from the hospital, so patients can feel as though they are 'at home.' Carol Ash, D.O., corporate medical director for Sleep Medicine across Meridian Health and board certified in Sleep Medicine and Adrian Pristas, M.D., medical director, also board certified in Sleep Medicine, are working together to expand Sleep Medicine and the services offered for patients. In addition, the pair have developed a comprehensive approach to identifying, diagnosing, and treating sleep disorder patients.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT STATEMENT (CONTINUED)	CORE FORM, PART III, STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS	This is Only the Beginning -------------------------- When Bayshore merged with Meridian Health in 2010, the strategic priority was to improve the product before taking the message to market. Since then, there has been significant and palpable changes at Bayshore. The leadership team and team members at Bayshore have done a significant amount of work to move the brand forward and to create a better experience for customers and guests, and it shows! This new integrated ad campaign highlighted some of the operational, clinical, and service changes that have been made at Bayshore, serving as a reintroduction of the brand to the community. While the changes made at Bayshore have been significant, This is Only the Beginning. Partner Companies ----------------- Meridians continuum of care extends far beyond the reach of our six award winning hospitals and allows us to effectively integrate care across different geographic sites, while delivering multiple clinical services, including our physician primary care network, Alert Ambulance, Meridian At Home, Meridian Nursing and Rehabilitation, Shore Rehabilitation Institute, Meridian Occupational Health, and more. Our partner companies continue to be a distinguishing feature of Meridian Health. Theres No Place Like Home Meridian At Home --------------------------------------------- Meridian At Home continues to be the leader in home care services in Monmouth and Ocean counties, providing service to over 27,000 patients in 2012. Meridian At Home provides a complete continuum of services including: visiting home nurses and rehabilitation services, hospice care, certified private and personal care aides, infusion therapy, oxygen delivery, medical equipment and supplies, and medication management technologies. JFK At Home, Meridian At Homes partnership with JFK Health System, continues to grow in its service of Middlesex, Union, and Somerset counties.

The Center is comprised of the most innovative and advanced equipment used for neuro rehabilitative services including Reo(tm) Therapys Reo Go(tm) and Bionic Leg. Meridians Nursing and Rehabilitation Facilities Are Seeing Stars ----------------------------------------------------------------- When it comes to finding the best nursing facility for a loved one, our community members can rest assured that we are among the best in the nation. Our Meridian Nursing and Rehabilitation facilities in Brick, Holmdel, Ocean Grove, and Shrewsbury; and Meridian Subacute Rehabilitation at Wall received the highest possible overall rating of five stars in U.S. News & World Reports fifth annual Best Nursing Homes. The Best Nursing Homes 2013 ratings highlight the top nursing homes in each city and state, out of nearly 16,000 facilities nationwide. Fewer than one out of every five nursing homes received an overall rating of five stars, which makes this recognition even more impressive and a testament to our high quality care. Enhancing Our Services and Programs, Thanks to Generous Contributions from the Community --------------------------------------------------------------------- 2012 was a historic year for Meridian Health Affiliated Foundations in many ways. We are proud to report that our foundations received approximately $27 million in contributions and grants in 2012 to invest in the lifesaving work at all five campuses. Thanks to our generous family of donors, we have been able to provide new programs to our communities, construct and expand our facilities, and introduce cutting edge technologies across Meridian Health, including the projects listed below: - Programmatic and structural needs for K.
