COMMUNITY BENEFIT STATEMENT (CONTINUED)	CORE FORM, PART III	THE OPENING OF A COMMUNITY HOSPITAL WHICH EXPANDS FROM PROVIDING JUST EMERGENCY SERVICES TO PROVIDING INPATIENT CARE AT THE FORMER PASCACK VALLEY HOSPITAL SITE CONTINUED TO BE A PRIORITY OF THE MEDICAL CENTER. IN EARLY 2012, THE MEDICAL CENTER, WITH SUPPORT OF THE COMMUNITY, PUBLIC AND ELECTED OFFICIALS, LOCAL PHYSICIANS, AND THE GOVERNOR OF NEW JERSEY, RECEIVED THE FINAL APPROVAL TO RE-OPEN HACKENSACKUMC AT PASCACK VALLEY INTO A FULL SERVICE HOSPITAL. THE NEWLY RENOVATED AND RE-OPENED HOSPITAL WILL OFFER THE FOLLOWING SERVICES: 128 ALL-PRIVATE PATIENT ROOMS, INCLUDING INTENSIVE CARE UNIT, MEDICAL / SURGICAL, STATE-OF-THE-ART OBSTETRICAL UNITS, FIVE FULL SERVICE OPERATING ROOMS, ONE SPECIAL PROCEDURE ROOM, CARDIAC CATHETERIZATION LAB, RADIOLOGY AND LABORATORY. THIS INPATIENT HOSPITAL WILL ACT AS AN ANCHOR TO MANY IN-DEMAND, OUTPATIENT SERVICES SUCH AS RADIOLOGY, WOMEN'S HEALTH AND SAME-DAY SURGERY. IN 2012, HACKENSACKUMC WILL STRENGTHEN ITS CORE BY FOCUSING ON THE CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE SUCH AS THE NEUROSCIENCES INSTITUTE AND THE ORTHOPAEDICS INSTITUTE. ADDITIONAL CAPACITY IN THESE TWO AREAS ARE ESSENTIAL AS THE POPULATION AGES AND THE INCIDENCE OF CONDITIONS LIKE PARKINSON'S DISEASE AND ARTHRITIS INCREASES. IN 2012, HACKENSACKUMC OPENED A GAMMA KNIFE CENTER. THE GAMMA KNIFE IS USED TO ABLATE TUMORS BY FOCUSING RADIATION WITH EXTREME PRECISION ON THE TARGETED AREA OF THE BRAIN. EMERGENCY CARE IS ANOTHER AREA IN WHICH HACKENSACKUMC IS BUILDING CAPACITY. HACKENSACKUMC IS DOUBLING THE SIZE OF ITS EMERGENCY SERVICES. THE EXPANSION WILL NOT ONLY UPGRADE THE EMERGENCY AND TRAUMA CENTER, BUT WILL ALSO CONSTRUCT A NEW BUILDING THAT WILL ALLOW HACKENSACKUMC TO EXPAND THE FOOTPRINT OF THE EMERGENCY AND TRAUMA CENTER, INCLUDING SHELL SPACE FOR FUTURE EXPANSION AND REDESIGNING THE EXISTING AMBULANCE DROP-OFF. THE PLANS CALL FOR THE MEDICAL CENTER TO CONVERT THE EXISTING SEMIPRIVATE CURTAINED CUBICLES INTO PRIVATE TREATMENT SUITES THAT ARE 120 SQUARE FEET IN SIZE AND ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND EQUIPMENT. THIS WILL RESULT IN A TOTAL OF 75 TREATMENT BEDS, FIVE OF WHICH WILL BE DESIGNATED FOR TRAUMA. WHILE THERE WILL BE NO INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF TREATMENT BAYS AS A RESULT OF THIS PROJECT, THE EMERGENCY AND TRAUMA CENTER WILL BE MUCH LARGER AND WILL HAVE SPECIALTY CARE AREAS FOR CARDIAC, CANCER, GERIATRICS AND TRAUMA PATIENTS. THREE TRIAGE STATIONS WILL ALSO BE CREATED. THE MEDICAL CENTER IS ALSO TAKING A NUMBER OF STEPS TO RAISE ITS PRESENCE IN SURROUNDING AREAS. THE MEDICAL CENTER WILL REINFORCE ITS PARTNERSHIPS WITH SMALLER HOSPITALS IN THE REGION BY INSTITUTING MEDICAL AIR TRANSPORT SERVICES. THE NEW HELICOPTER, PUT INTO SERVICE DURING THE SPRING OF 2012, WILL ENABLE PATIENTS TO BE BROUGHT TO HACKENSACKUMC TO RECEIVE MORE SOPHISTICATED TREATMENT THAN THEY COULD RECEIVE ELSEWHERE. IN ADDITION, THE MEDICAL CENTER WILL BE EXPANDING ITS SERVICES INTO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH A NEW $22 MILLION WELLNESS CENTER SCHEDULED TO OPEN IN MID-2013 IN MAYWOOD, NEW JERSEY. THE 100,000-SQUARE-FOOT SPACE WILL OFFER EVERYTHING FROM A FULL-SERVICE GYM TO MAMMOGRAMS.

COMMUNITY BENEFIT STATEMENT (CONTINUED)	CORE FORM, PART III	COMMUNITY BENEFIT - COSTS ------------------------- FOR PURPOSES OF FORM 990, SCHEDULE H REPORTING AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH CURRENT IRS RULES AND REGULATIONS, HACKENSACKUMC UTILIZED THE CATHOLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION ("CHA") MODEL WHEN QUANTIFYING COMMUNITY BENEFIT COSTS.

UTILIZING THE MODEL ADOPTED BY THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION ("AHA"), WHICH HACKENSACKUMC BELIEVES MORE CLEARLY REPRESENTS ACTUAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT, WHEN QUANTIFYING ITS ESTIMATED TOTAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT COSTS FOR THE 2012 YEAR WOULD RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER COMMUNITY BENEFIT PERCENTAGE.

HOUSED WITHIN HACKENSACKUMC, THE CANCER CENTER PROVIDES STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES, COMPASSIONATE CARE, RESEARCH INNOVATIONS, MEDICAL EXPERTISE, AND A FULL RANGE OF AFTER CARE SERVICES THAT DISTINGUISH THE CANCER CENTER FROM OTHER FACILITIES. THE CANCER CENTER IS COMPOSED OF 14 SPECIALIZED ON-SITE TEAMS FULLY ENGAGED IN THE MEDICAL AND EMOTIONAL CARE OF THEIR PATIENTS AND LOVED ONES. EACH OF THE 14 DIVISIONS FEATURES TEAMS OF PHYSICIANS, NURSES, TECHNOLOGISTS, AND SUPPORT STAFF WITH CLINICAL AND RESEARCH EXPERTISE IN A SPECIFIC TYPE OF CANCER (SUCH AS LEUKEMIA OR BREAST CANCER) OR SPECIFIC SERVICE (SUCH AS SUPPORTIVE CARE AND PAIN MANAGEMENT).

NOR IS IT SATISFIED TO PROVIDE CUTTING-EDGE BASIC RESEARCH, CLINICAL TRIALS, AND INNOVATIVE TREATMENT METHODS THAT ARE NOT FOUND ANYWHERE ELSE IN NEW JERSEY. WHEN IT COMES TO HELPING PEOPLE FACE THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE OF THEIR LIVES - A DIAGNOSIS OF CANCER - HACKENSACKUMC REACHES BEYOND ITS FACILITIES, ITS EQUIPMENT, AND ITS TREATMENTS AND OFFERS PATIENTS THE BEST OF HACKENSACKUMC, THE CANCER CARE TEAM OF DEDICATED INDIVIDUALS. NO TREATMENT CAN WORK WITHOUT THE SKILLS, EXPERTISE, AND COMPASSION OF HACKENSACKUMC'S EXTRAORDINARY TEAM OF CANCER CARE EXPERTS.

HACKENSACKUMC PLEDGES TO PARTNER WITH PATIENTS IN THE FIGHT OF THEIR LIVES, AND TO MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO SUPPORT THEM DURING THEIR EXPERIENCES WITH HACKENSACKUMC. PATIENTS ARE NOT A NUMBER TO HACKENSACKUMC, BUT A MOTHER, FATHER, SISTER, BROTHER, AUNT, OR UNCLE.

DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING SERVICES --------------------------- THE DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING DEPARTMENT PROVIDES A FULL SPECTRUM OF IMAGING SERVICES. THESE INCLUDE 3T (MAGNET STRENGTH) MRI, 64-SLICE COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY ("CT"), POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY ("PET/CT"), BREAST MRI, NUCLEAR MEDICINE, INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY, ULTRASOUND, AND DIGITAL X-RAY. THE DEPARTMENT OPERATES IN A FULLY INTEGRATED PICTURE ARCHIVING AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM ("PACS"), A FILM-LESS ENVIRONMENT. PHYSICIANS CAN LOG INTO THE PACS REMOTELY TO VIEW IMAGING STUDIES ANYWHERE THERE IS INTERNET ACCESS. THE STAFF PERFORMS COMPLEX ADVANCED PROCEDURES SUCH AS CARDIAC COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY ANGIOGRAPHY, CARDIAC MRI, AND ADVANCED PET/CT APPLICATIONS. ALL RADIOLOGISTS ARE FELLOWSHIP TRAINED IN VARIOUS SUBSPECIALTIES AND AN ATTENDING RADIOLOGIST (NOT A RESIDENT IN TRAINING) IS ON SITE AT ALL TIMES FOR INTERPRETATION AND CONSULTATION, PRODUCING VERY RAPID REPORT TURN-AROUND TIMES. EMERGENCY SERVICES / TRAUMA --------------------------- THE JEFFREY M. CREAMER EMERGENCY/TRAUMA DEPARTMENT ("ETD") IS OPEN 24 HOURS A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK AND TREATS ALL AGES AND ALL MEDICAL CONDITIONS. IN 2012, 86,489 PATIENTS VISITED THE ETD (INCLUDING THE ETD AT HACKENSACKUMC AT PASCACK VALLEY) WHICH RESULTED IN 20,205 ADMISSIONS. THERE IS ALSO A SEPARATE PEDIATRIC EMERGENCY ROOM THAT SAW 37,080 VISITS (INCLUDING THE PEDIATRIC ETD AT HACKENSACKUMC AT PASCACK VALLEY) IN 2012, WHICH RESULTED IN 2,676 ADMISSIONS. THE PEDIATRIC EMERGENCY ROOM IS STAFFED BY PHYSICIANS AND NURSES SPECIALTY-TRAINED IN PEDIATRIC EMERGENCY MEDICINE.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT STATEMENT (CONTINUED)	CORE FORM, PART III	THE TAKE-A-BREAK PROGRAM NOW SEEMS LIKE AN OBVIOUS IDEA. THE FAMILY MEMBERS WHO ACCOMPANY THEIR LOVED ONES TO EMERGENCY ROOMS CAN ALMOST ALWAYS BENEFIT FROM A SHORT BREAK - WHETHER TO PICK KIDS UP AT SCHOOL, MAKE A FEW PHONE CALLS OR JUST GRAB A CUP OF COFFEE. WHEN THE PROPOSAL WAS FIRST MADE TO SET UP A NETWORK OF VOLUNTEERS WHO COULD SUPPORT FAMILY MEMBERS IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM AND REPRESENT THEM IN THEIR ABSENCE, THERE WAS NOTHING LIKE IT ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY. TODAY 50 VOLUNTEERS COVER EACH OF THE EMERGENCY TRAUMA DEPARTMENT'S THREE SHIFTS, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. EMERGENCY SERVICES OPENED A SATELLITE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AT HACKENSACKUMC NORTH IN OCTOBER 2008. SEE "HACKENSACKUMC AT PASCACK VALLEY" HEREIN. IN 2012, THIS SITE HAD 9,439 VISITS, WITH 438 ADMISSIONS SENT TO THE MEDICAL CENTER. THE EMERGENCY TRAUMA DEPARTMENT (ETD) IS DESIGNATED BY THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY AND THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AS A LEVEL II TRAUMA CENTER. THE ETD IS ALSO CERTIFIED BY THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF SURGEONS AND IS AN ACCREDITED CHEST PAIN CENTER AS PER THE SOCIETY OF CHEST PAIN CENTERS. SINCE 2006, THE ETD HAS RECEIVED $14.6 MILLION FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE TO DEVELOP A PROGRAM THAT WILL ENHANCE THE LEVEL OF EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS IN NORTHERN NEW JERSEY. THE MOBILE EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROTOTYPE PRODUCED ENCOMPASSES TWO 7-BED MOBILE EMERGENCY TRAUMA UNITS, A MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS VEHICLE AND A BIOLOGICAL INCIDENT RESPONSE VEHICLE. CURRENTLY, IN THE THIRD PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT, A MOBILE OPERATING ROOM IS BEING DESIGNED AND BUILT AND THE DEPARTMENT WILL UNDERTAKE TRAUMA-RELATED RESEARCH DESIGNED FOR TRANSITION TO A MILITARY APPLICATION. AMBULATORY SURGERY ------------------ THE MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDES SAME DAY SURGERY SERVICES ON ITS MAIN CAMPUS IN THREE DISTINCT LOCATIONS; THE CENTER FOR AMBULATORY SURGERY, THE PEDIATRIC SURGICAL SUITE, AND THE CENTER FOR PLASTIC AND RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY. SPECIALTIES INCLUDE DENTAL, GENERAL, PLASTIC, ORTHOPEDIC, PEDIATRIC, VASCULAR, GYNECOLOGICAL, UROLOGICAL AND PODIATRIC SURGERY; NEUROSURGERY; OTOLARYNGOLOGY; AND OPHTHALMOLOGY. THE MEDICAL CENTER PERFORMED 16,084 SAME DAY SURGERIES IN 2012. RESEARCH -------- RESEARCH IS WHAT DISTINGUISHES HACKENSACKUMC FROM OTHER AREA COMMUNITY HOSPITALS. RESEARCH GIVES HACKENSACKUMC'S STAFF THE ABILITY TO EXPLORE THE NEWEST AND MOST PROMISING MEDICAL TREATMENTS AND COMPREHENSIVE MEDICAL AND SUPPORT SERVICES. THIS PURSUIT GIVES HACKENSACKUMC AND OTHER ALLIED STAFF THE EXTRAORDINARY ABILITY TO EXPLORE NEW AND BETTER APPROACHES TO MEDICINE - TO UNCOVER AND DELIVER NOVEL TREATMENT BREAKTHROUGHS. RESEARCH CENTERS ATTRACT GIFTED PHYSICIANS AND SCIENTISTS WHO COLLABORATE WITH LEADING INVESTIGATORS IN THEIR FIELD. THIS IS TRUE OF RESEARCHERS AT HACKENSACKUMC. THE DAVID JOSEPH JURIST RESEARCH CENTER FOR TOMORROW'S CHILDREN IS A FIVE-STORY, 55,000-SQUARE-FOOT BUILDING WHICH HOUSES THE DAVID AND ALICE JURIST INSTITUTE FOR RESEARCH. THE RESEARCH CENTER CONSOLIDATES ALL OF HACKENSACKUMC'S ONGOING RESEARCH ACTIVITIES INTO ONE LOCATION. THE FACILITY ENHANCES THE TIRELESS WORK THAT THE HACKENSACKUMC'S SCIENTISTS AND PHYSICIAN-INVESTIGATORS ARE PURSUING AS PARTNERS IN NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL MULTI-CENTER TRIALS. HACKENSACKUMC PARTNERED WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI DIABETES RESEARCH INSTITUTE, ONE OF THE WORLD'S LEADING CENTERS FOR RESEARCH ON THE DISEASE. HACKENSACKUMC PATIENTS WITH TYPE 1, OR JUVENILE DIABETES WILL TAKE PART IN A TRIAL IN WHICH INSULIN-PRODUCING ISLET CELLS ARE TRANSPLANTED TO THEIR ABDOMENS. THIS TRIAL HAS THE PROMISE OF BEING AN IMPORTANT STEP ON THE WAY TO A CURE FOR THIS DISEASE. THE RESEARCH CENTER IS ALSO HOME TO THE DEIRDRE IMUS ENVIRONMENTAL CENTER FOR PEDIATRIC ONCOLOGY. THE JURIST INSTITUTE IS NAMED FOR DAVID JOSEPH JURIST, CO-PRESIDENT OF THE TOMORROWS CHILDREN'S FUND FOR PEDIATRIC CANCER AND THE FATHER OF EILEEN JURIST, WHO WAS TREATED FOR HODGKIN'S DISEASE AT HACKENSACKUMC'S TOMORROW'S CHILDREN'S INSTITUTE FOR CANCER AND BLOOD DISORDERS. MR. JURIST AND HIS WIFE, ALICE, ARE ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS IN ALL OF THE TOMORROWS CHILDREN'S FUND INITIATIVES. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DAVID JOSEPH JURIST RESEARCH CENTER FOR TOMORROWS CHILDREN INCLUDE LABORATORIES FOR BASIC AND CLINICAL RESEARCH; ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES; A "VIVARIUM"; STATE-OF-THE-ART OPERATING ROOMS; AND A LECTURE HALL EQUIPPED WITH AUDIO-VISUAL TECHNOLOGY AND A TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM. SCIENTISTS AND PHYSICIANS AT HACKENSACKUMC FREQUENTLY CONTRIBUTE TO THE BODY OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT DISEASES, MEDICAL CONDITIONS, TREATMENT ADVANCES, TECHNOLOGICAL BREAKTHROUGHS, QUALITY-OF-LIFE ISSUES, AND OTHER PERTINENT RESEARCH ISSUES THROUGH PUBLICATION OF RESEARCH FINDINGS, ABSTRACTS, BOOK CHAPTERS, AND OTHER WRITTEN MATERIALS. SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY IS A MAJOR COMPONENT OF THE HACKENSACKUMC'S MISSION AND A VITAL COMPONENT OF THE WORLD-CLASS CARE AVAILABLE AT HACKENSACKUMC. HACKENSACKUMC'S CLINICAL, TRANSLATIONAL, AND BASIC SCIENCE RESEARCH PROGRAMS HAVE GROWN TREMENDOUSLY, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE OPENING IN 2000 OF THE DAVID JOSEPH JURIST RESEARCH CENTER FOR TOMORROWS CHILDREN. RESEARCH STUDIES GREW FROM 75 IN 1987 TO TODAY'S 475 OPEN PROTOCOLS. HACKENSACKUMC PROTOCOLS ARE SUPPORTED BY SOME OF THE NATION'S TOP FUNDING SOURCES, INCLUDING THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH, THE NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION, AND THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY, AND FROM PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS AND CORPORATIONS SUCH AS PHARMACEUTICAL AND BIOTECHNOLOGY COMPANIES. IN 2012, $2,693,256 WAS RECEIVED FOR RESEARCH STUDIES. RESEARCH ADMINISTRATION ----------------------- THE DEPARTMENT OF RESEARCH CONSOLIDATES ALL BASIC AND CLINICAL RESEARCH THAT IS UNDER WAY AT HACKENSACKUMC. THE DEPARTMENT CENTRALIZES THE ADMINISTRATIVE ASPECTS OF RESEARCH, INCLUDING FINANCIAL, LEGAL, AND PROFESSIONAL OVERSIGHT, AND GUIDES THE INVESTIGATOR THROUGH THE MAZE OF INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL REGULATION. RESEARCH PARTNERS ----------------- SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY THROUGH RESEARCH IS A MAJOR COMPONENT OF HACKENSACKUMC'S MISSION. RESEARCH AT HACKENSACKUMC IS CONDUCTED IN NEARLY EVERY FIELD, WITH AN EMPHASIS ON PEDIATRIC AND ADULT CANCERS, CHILDHOOD DISEASES, CARDIOLOGY, ALLERGY AND IMMUNOLOGY, ORTHOPEDICS, UROLOGY, PULMONARY MEDICINE, NEUROLOGY, AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES. INVESTIGATORS AT HACKENSACKUMC COLLABORATE WITH THEIR COUNTERPARTS AT OTHER HEALTHCARE INSTITUTIONS AND RESEARCH FACILITIES, INCLUDING THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK ("CUNY") MEMORIAL SLOAN-KETTERING CANCER CENTER, AND ROCKEFELLER UNIVERSITY. OUTSTANDING RESEARCH COLLABORATIONS ALSO ARISE FROM HACKENSACKUMC'S ROLE AS A MAJOR TEACHING AFFILIATE OF UMDNJ-NJMS. HACKENSACKUMC IS DESIGNATED BY THE NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE AND THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH AS A COMMUNITY CLINICAL ONCOLOGY PROGRAM SITE, ONE OF ONLY 50 IN THE NATION AND THE ONLY SUCH PROGRAM IN NEW JERSEY. CLINICAL TRIALS, PROTOCOL STUDIES, AND CANCER CONTROL GROUP RESEARCH ARE CONDUCTED THROUGH THE EASTERN COOPERATIVE ONCOLOGY GROUP, THE SOUTHWEST ONCOLOGY GROUP, THE CHILDREN'S ONCOLOGY GROUP, THE UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER CANCER CENTER, AND THE NATIONAL SURGICAL ADJUVANT BREAST AND BOWEL PROJECT.
GOVERNANCE, MANAGEMENT, AND DISCLOSURE	CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION A; QUESTION 2	J. FLETCHER CREAMER, JR. AND JOSEPH M. SANZARI - BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP.
DISCLOSURE INFORMATION	CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION B; QUESTION 11B	THE ORGANIZATION IS THE TAX-EXEMPT PARENT ENTITY OF HACKENSACK UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK, INC. ("NETWORK") AND AFFILIATES; A TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM ("SYSTEM"), WHICH INCLUDES HACKENSACK UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER ("HACKENSACKUMC"). THE ORGANIZATION'S FEDERAL FORM 990 WAS PROVIDED TO EACH VOTING MEMBER OF ITS GOVERNING BODY, ITS BOARD OF TRUSTEES, PRIOR TO FILING WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE ("IRS"). THE ORGANIZATION'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES HAS ASSUMED THE RESPONSIBILITY TO OVERSEE, REVIEW AND APPROVE THE FEDERAL FORM 990, INCLUDING THE PREPARATION, REVIEW AND FILING PROCESS. AS PART OF THE TAX RETURN PREPARATION PROCESS THE ORGANIZATION HIRED A PROFESSIONAL CPA FIRM WITH EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE IN BOTH HEALTHCARE AND NOT-FOR-PROFIT TAX RETURN PREPARATION TO PREPARE THE FEDERAL FORM 990. THE CPA FIRM'S TAX PROFESSIONALS WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCE PERSONNEL AND VARIOUS OTHER INDIVIDUALS OF THE ORGANIZATION AND THE SYSTEM TO OBTAIN THE INFORMATION NEEDED IN ORDER TO PREPARE A COMPLETE AND ACCURATE TAX RETURN. THE CPA FIRM PREPARED A DRAFT FEDERAL FORM 990 AND FURNISHED IT TO THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCE PERSONNEL AND OTHER INDIVIDUALS FOR THEIR REVIEW. THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCE PERSONNEL AND OTHER INDIVIDUALS REVIEWED THE DRAFT FEDERAL FORM 990 AND DISCUSSED QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS WITH THE CPA FIRM. REVISIONS WERE MADE TO THE DRAFT FEDERAL FORM 990 WHERE NECESSARY AND A FINAL DRAFT WAS FURNISHED BY THE CPA FIRM TO THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCE PERSONNEL AND VARIOUS OTHER INDIVIDUALS FOR FINAL REVIEW AND APPROVAL PRIOR TO FILING WITH THE IRS.
DISCLOSURE INFORMATION	CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION B; QUESTION 12	THE ORGANIZATION IS THE TAX-EXEMPT PARENT ENTITY OF HACKENSACK UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK, INC. ("NETWORK") AND AFFILIATES; A TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM ("SYSTEM"), WHICH INCLUDES HACKENSACK UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER ("HACKENSACKUMC"). THE ORGANIZATION REGULARLY MONITORS AND ENFORCES COMPLIANCE WITH ITS CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. ANNUALLY ALL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, OFFICERS AND SENIOR MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL ARE REQUIRED TO REVIEW THE EXISTING CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY AND COMPLETE A QUESTIONNAIRE. THE COMPLETED QUESTIONNAIRES ARE RETURNED TO HACKENSACKUMC'S CHIEF COMPLIANCE OFFICER FOR REVIEW. THEREAFTER THE CHIEF COMPLIANCE OFFICER PREPARES A SUMMARY OF THE COMPLETED QUESTIONNAIRES WHICH CONTAINS INFORMATION DISCLOSED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BY INDIVIDUAL BASIS. THE CHIEF COMPLIANCE OFFICER THEN PRESENTS THIS SUMMARY TO HACKENSACKUMC'S GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE FOR ITS REVIEW AND DISCUSSION.
DISCLOSURE INFORMATION	CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION B; QUESTION 15	THE ORGANIZATION IS THE TAX-EXEMPT PARENT ENTITY OF HACKENSACK UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK, INC. ("NETWORK") AND AFFILIATES; A TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM ("SYSTEM"), WHICH INCLUDES HACKENSACK UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER ("HACKENSACKUMC"). HACKENSACKUMC'S BOARD OF GOVERNORS HAS AN EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ("COMMITTEE"). THE COMMITTEE HAS ADOPTED A WRITTEN EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY WHICH IT FOLLOWS WHEN IT REVIEWS AND APPROVES OF THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS OF THE ORGANIZATION'S SENIOR MANAGEMENT, INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT/CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER. THE COMMITTEE REVIEWS THE "TOTAL COMPENSATION" OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHICH IS INTENDED TO INCLUDE BOTH CURRENT AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION AND ALL EMPLOYEE BENEFITS, BOTH QUALIFIED AND NON-QUALIFIED. THE COMMITTEE CONDUCTS ITS REVIEW AND APPROVAL PROCESS AT LEAST ANNUALLY OVER SEVERAL MEETINGS, AND APPROVES ONLY "TOTAL COMPENSATION" THAT THE COMMITTEE HAS CONCLUDED DOES NOT EXCEED WHAT THE COMMITTEE CONSIDERS TO BE REASONABLE COMPENSATION. THE COMMITTEE STRUCTURES AND CONDUCTS ITS REVIEW AND APPROVAL PROCESS SO AS TO QUALIFY FOR THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS UNDER THE INTERMEDIATE SANCTIONS RULES OF FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAW. THIS REVIEW AND APPROVAL PROCESS APPLIES TO ALL FORMS OF COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS PROVIDED TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM. THE THREE FACTORS WHICH MUST BE SATISFIED IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS ARE THE FOLLOWING: 1. THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT IS APPROVED IN ADVANCE BY AN "AUTHORIZED BODY" OF THE APPLICABLE TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION WHICH IS COMPOSED ENTIRELY OF INDIVIDUALS WHO DO NOT HAVE A "CONFLICT OF INTEREST" WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT; 2. THE AUTHORIZED BODY OBTAINED AND RELIED UPON "APPROPRIATE DATA AS TO COMPARABILITY" PRIOR TO MAKING ITS DETERMINATION; AND 3. THE AUTHORIZED BODY "ADEQUATELY DOCUMENTED THE BASIS FOR ITS DETERMINATION" CONCURRENTLY WITH MAKING THAT DETERMINATION. THE COMMITTEE IS COMPRISED OF MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS, EACH OF WHOM IS "DISINTERESTED" AS DEFINED BY THE IRS IN ITS REGULATIONS DESCRIBING THIS STANDARD. THE COMMITTEE RELIED UPON APPROPRIATE COMPARABLE DATA; SPECIFICALLY THE COMMITTEE OBTAINED A WRITTEN COMPENSATION STUDY FROM AN INDEPENDENT FIRM WHICH SPECIALIZES IN THE REVIEW OF HOSPITAL AND HEALTHCARE SYSTEM EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. THIS DETAILED STUDY USES COMPARABLE GEOGRAPHIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC MARKET DATA FOR TAX-EXEMPT HOSPITALS AND HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS OF A SIMILAR LEVEL OF NET ANNUAL OPERATING REVENUE IN THE SAME GEOGRAPHIC REGION. NO DATA FROM ANY FOR-PROFIT ENTITIES IS USED. THE COMMITTEE ADEQUATELY DOCUMENTED ITS BASIS FOR ITS DETERMINATION THROUGH THE TIMELY PREPARATION OF WRITTEN MINUTES OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE MEETINGS DURING WHICH THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS WAS REVIEWED AND SUBSEQUENTLY APPROVED. THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL PROCESS USED BY THE COMMITTEE, INCLUDING ALL ACTIONS DESIGNED TO QUALIFY FOR THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS, IS APPLIED TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM OF THE ORGANIZATION, WHETHER OR NOT THEY WOULD BE CONSIDERED 'DISQUALIFIED PERSONS' UNDER THE INTERMEDIATE SANCTIONS RULES. IN ADDITION TO RELYING ON MARKET DATA, THE COMMITTEE APPLIES A WIDE RANGE OF BUSINESS JUDGMENT FACTORS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE, INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCE, RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION FACTORS, AND THE UNIQUE DEMANDS OF PARTICULAR POSITIONS.
