BACKGROUND ========== PHCS is a leading provider of healthcare services. A respected nonprofit, community teaching system, we offer compassionate care supported by advanced technologies and an outstanding medical staff. Ninety-two percent of our 1,013 physicians have achieved board certification, the hallmark of professional excellence, the balance are board eligible. Through our affiliations with academic institutions, we are setting new standards in diagnostic and treatment protocols and achieving successful clinical outcomes for our patients. Princeton HealthCare System is Redefining Care through our commitment to delivering an exceptional level of healthcare. A system-wide quality enhancement initiative titled Transforming Healthcare is underway at all PHCS units. The goal is to enhance each patient's experience while streamlining the delivery of care. PHCS is comprised of the following: University Medical Center at Princeton ("UMCP") is a teaching hospital that provides comprehensive patient care and support services relating to patient care to all individuals in a non-discriminatory manner regardless of ability to pay. It is an acute care facility with 236 acute care beds and 24 bassinets. In 2011 patient days totaled 64,780. Outpatient patient visits approximate 261,000. For the third year in a row, UMCP was recognized as one of the nation's Top Hospitals by the Leapfrog Group for safety and quality of care. It is the only hospital in New Jersey to achieve this recognition three years in a row. UMCP launched a new intensivists program in 2005 to ensure that physicians with advanced critical care training coordinate the care of the most critically ill patients. The 2005 year also saw the addition of two new pediatric outpatient specialties (pediatric nephrology and pediatric cardiology) and UMCP's bariatric surgery program earned a designation as a center of excellence. In 2009, we kicked off an exciting partnership with the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia bringing world-class pediatric healthcare to our community. UMCP further developed its diabetes management services providing care to approximately 360 patients in 2011. Our Diabetes Management services also reach out into the community- a certified diabetes nurse clinician provides a monthly support group meeting at both our Princeton and Monroe locations. In 2011, 75 residents from the community participated in our diabetes support groups. UMCP also provides cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation which includes exercise sessions, maintenance and re-assessments. During 2011, approximately 7,800 cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation sessions were provided. UMCP became the first hospital in Mercer County, NJ to open an Acute Care of the Elderly (ACE) unit specifically designed to meet the needs of the older adult patient. Princeton Homecare Services is a home care and visiting nurse service providing healthcare services to all individuals in a non-discriminatory manner regardless of ability to pay. In 2011 there were 48,532 visits recorded. This growing service is vital in the capacity to provide care at the patient's home rather than requiring a stay in the hospital. Princeton Homecare Services also operates a Palliative Care Program and a Hospice Program. The Palliative Care Program focuses on comfort and support providing 23,693 Hospice visits in 2011. The Hospice Program offers Grief Support groups in the day and evening, to accommodate the needs of the community. In 2005, the Hospice Program began offering volunteer training in Monroe for individuals who wish to visit and offer support to patients and families. To help children mourn the loss of a loved one, a Child Bereavement Program educates parents and healthcare providers as to the effects of death on children. In 2007 the Hospice Program opened a new Library for bereaved children and teens. Princeton House Behavioral Health (PHBH) offers treatment for acute psychiatric illnesses, substance use problems, and co-occurring disorders at the inpatient, partial hospital, and intensive outpatient levels of care to all patients in a non-discriminatory manner regardless of ability to pay. As an advanced behavioral health service provider in the State of New Jersey, PHBH maintains a main campus in Princeton and outpatient sites throughout Central and Southern New Jersey in Princeton, North Brunswick, Hamilton and Cherry Hill. PHBH's inpatient facility on the main campus in Princeton now has 116 beds that produced 33,706 patient days in 2011. Outpatient visits and treatments across multiple sites amounted to 78,286. PHCS MEDICAL SERVICES AND HEALTHCARE PROGRAMS ============================================== The medical services and healthcare programs conducted by PHCS include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. Behavioral Health Services Princeton House Behavioral Health offers a wide and growing range of behavioral health programs to meet the needs of the communities that it serves. Specialized programs for children, adolescents, adults, women, and older adults are available across the continuum of care, with a few examples that follow. In April 2005, PHBH opened, the "Short Term Care Facility", (STCF), designed to stabilize patients who meet the commitment criteria in the State of New Jersey and help them transition to a less restrictive level of care as quickly as possible. Designated by the New Jersey Department of Human Services, this STCF unit has 21 beds and its multidisciplinary treatment approach includes the participation of community mental health representatives from various agencies. In 2009, a children's outpatient psychiatric program opened in Hamilton, in addition to the already established children's programs at the North Brunswick and Cherry Hill sites. These partial hospital and intensive outpatient programs provide treatment for children ages 5-12 that cannot function in the classroom due to severe psychiatric and behavioral problems. |
| COMMUNITY BENEFIT STATEMENT CONT'D | CORE FORM, PART III; STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | Across all of its many programs, Princeton House promotes evidence-based practices, continuous improvement of quality, ongoing professional and community education, and innovative approaches to behavioral healthcare. In addition to clinical programs for patients, PHBH hosts professional education programs and is actively involved in the community. For example, PHBH's Department of Training and Research maintains an American Psychological Association (APA)-accredited Pre-Doctoral Psychology Internship Program, which attracts highly qualified candidates from around the country. PHBH community-based activities include free continuing education events to area behavioral health professionals, as well as frequent participation in relevant community events such as the Recovery Rally, the Trenton Drug Free Festival, the Mercer Traumatic Loss Coalition's 5K Run, the National Alliance for Mental Illness's annual "NAMI Walk", and the National Council of Alcohol and Drug Dependence's Tree of Hope Ceremony. 2. Breast Health Center The Breast Health Center is a state of the art breast imaging facility located in East Windsor. It is the first and only facility in Mercer County to be designated a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence by the American College of Radiology. The Center was designed to provide a relaxing environment for patients undergoing breast imaging and diagnostics. The goal of the Breast Health Center is to promote recommended screening guidelines, provide education and support to women in an effort to diagnose cancer in early, treatable stages when positive outcomes are most achievable. In addition to mammography, breast ultrasound, stereotactic biopsy and ultrasound biopsy, the Center has certified Breast Health Navigators to assist patients throughout their treatment for breast cancer. Breast Surgeons and Medical Oncologists also see patients at the Breast Health Center. Educational programs are presented at the Center by Community Education and Outreach with topics relevant to women. Educational outreach promoting breast health is performed with collaborating organizations such as the Breast Cancer Resource Center of the Princeton YWCA, The Christina Walsh Breast Cancer Foundation and Heart to Heart. A grant from Susan G. Komen for the Cure provided 200 mammograms and 100 clinical breast exams for underserved women. The Breast Health Center staff participates in the Komen Race for the Cure each year. In 2011, the Breast Health Center participated in 25 educational and outreach programs. It also launched a Breast Cancer Support Group in collaboration with CancerCare of New Jersey. 3. Eating Disorders The Eating Disorders Program at University Medical Center at Princeton is committed to providing exceptional medical, psychotherapeutic and nutritional care as well as highly personal caring for each and every patient in our program. Our multidisciplinary treatment team provides effective and compassionate treatment for adults, adolescents and children who are suffering from anorexia, bulimia and other eating disorders. Our goal is to help patients recover physically and emotionally in a warm, caring environment that offers acceptance, safety and support. Because of our location in a full-service medical center, we emphasize thorough and efficient treatment of any medical complications while simultaneously addressing the psychological issues underlying eating disorders. The number of beds increased from 16-22 beds to meet the increase in demand for care. 4. Emergency Department Staffed by physicians who are board certified in emergency medicine and nurses who are trained in trauma, emergency care and disaster preparedness, the Emergency Department realized 40,228 visits in 2011. The focus is on prompt, effective treatment with a bedside registration process and a Fast Track Suite that provides treatment for a less serious injury or illness within an hour. The Acute Care Suite offers specialty rooms for trauma and OB/GYN care, and an isolation room for cases involving potentially communicable diseases. Twenty-four hour on call emergency neurosurgery services are provided by some of the state's leading board certified, fellowship trained neurosurgeons. In 2009, the LIFENET Cardiac Care System was fully implemented enabling EMTs to transmit patients EKGs from the field to the Emergency Department, allowing ED staff more time to prepare for patients requiring emergency care. 5. Epilepsy Program The University Medical Center at Princeton's Epilepsy Program provides comprehensive and compassionate outpatient and inpatient services for adults and children over the age of 6 who have seizure disorders. Our program is committed to providing skilled and compassionate care that focuses on achieving successful outcomes, continuity of care and quality of life. Epilepsy is a chronic neurological condition that produces sudden disturbances in the normal electrical function of the brain. This causes seizures that affect an individual's awareness, movement, sensations or behavior. More than 2.5 million Americans have been diagnosed with epilepsy, and 181,000 new cases occur each year. The disorder can occur at any age but is especially common in children and older adults. The Epilepsy Program at University Medical Center at Princeton is led by a fellowship-trained neurologist with highly specialized training in epilepsy. Each of our board certified physicians emphasizes a team approach to care. They work closely with a patient's personal physician as well as PHCS's skilled nursing and certified technical staff. 6. Inpatient Hospice Program Inpatient hospice care is available at University Medical Center at Princeton when uncontrolled pain or intractable symptoms make remaining at home extraordinarily difficult. The Inpatient Hospice Program is a unique partnership between University Medical Center at Princeton, Princeton HomeCare Services and members of the community committed to providing highly skilled and compassionate inpatient care for hospice patients. 7. Intensivists Program Patients have access to highly specialized care if and when it is needed most through the Intensivists Program, now available at The University Medical Center at Princeton. Intensivists are physicians with advanced critical care board certification who specialize in treating the most seriously ill or injured patients. Studies have shown that patients whose care is managed by a specially trained intensivist in the ICU recover more quickly and achieve better clinical outcomes overall. UMCP's Intensivists Program is provided in collaboration with the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey - Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, one of the country's leading medical schools. The University Medical Center at Princeton is an acute care teaching hospital and University Hospital Affiliate of the medical school. 8. Maternity Program The University Medical Center at Princeton is committed to promoting a unique, family-centered birth experience, healthy pregnancies and safe deliveries.

The volume of Obstetric cases continues to experience steady growth since inception. In 2011 we began to accept direct referrals for Medicaid patients into our Gynecologic service. We experienced a 26% volume increase in these types of visits as compared to 2009 volumes. It is important to note that there are no private physicians in our community that accept Medicaid and very few accept Horizon NJ Health. - Our Pediatric Clinic serves more than 1,250 children and its visit volume has grown more than 29% in the past five years. The program includes provision of a very high volume of pediatric immunizations & EPSDT services, as well as case management and referral for subspecialty care.

Seward Johnson Sr. Radiation Oncology Center at University Medical Center brings to the community state-of-the-art technology for the treatment of cancer. Radiation treatment uses an invisible and painless high-energy beam to arrest growth of cancer cells. Radiation may be administered either through a powerful linear accelerator or through the placement of radiation beads. The linear accelerator is capable of generating seven separate beams of high-energy x-rays or electrons, and it is supported by a sophisticated treatment planning computer. A board certified physicist uses this computer to perform the thousands of complex calculations required to tailor each radiation treatment to individual patient needs. Quality radiation treatment depends not only on the sophistication of the equipment, but also on the skill and compassion of the team of professionals providing care: physician, physicist, nurse and technologist. University Medical Center's Radiation Oncology team provides a diverse background of skills and experience to assist the cancer patient during the course of treatment. 14. Sleep Center Sleep disorders are a common condition affecting about one out of every six people in the United States.

They offer a dynamic curriculum of innovative health and lifestyle-related programming, screenings and support at little or no cost to the communities we serve. Princeton HealthCare System is dedicated to promoting healthy living at every stage of life and to enhancing quality of life by addressing the unique needs of women, men, seniors, children, adolescents and diverse populations. Special outreach efforts have been directed to the Latino, Indian-American, Chinese and Korean-American communities. The System is also involved with partnerships with the Princeton, Hopewell Valley, West Windsor, Plainsboro and Montgomery Regional School Districts for childhood and adolescent health issues including underage drinking, smoking and eating disorders. Other program venues include area senior centers, public libraries, community centers, YMCA's and YWCA's. In 2011, Community Education & Outreach provided 1,371 programs to 35,628 participants. Total monies spent less payments received on Community Education for 2011 was $690,000. Provider Taxes All New Jersey acute care hospitals are required to pay a percentage of their total operating revenue to the Department of Health and Senior Services for deposit into the Health Care Subsidy Fund. We also pay the State of New Jersey an adjusted admission fee. In 2011 PHCS paid a total of $1,499,000 to the State of New Jersey for these assessments. Assistance Provided to Patients without Insurance PHCS provides emergent care irrespective of a patient's ability to pay. Often a patient requires follow-up care after hospitalization and encounter disposition/access problems because of no insurance coverage. PHCS often pays for these needed services. In 2011 PHCS paid other healthcare providers $4,000 for such services until alternative coverage could be obtained or care was not longer indicated. Medical Education Princeton HealthCare System has a long standing relationship with the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey to provide training for medical residents. PHCS trained the equivalent of 40 full time medical and surgical residents. The direct costs associated with these programs in 2011 approximated $6.0 million dollars, which was partially offset by Medicare and Medicaid funds of $5.6 million dollars, resulting in a shortfall of $0.4 million dollars. This shortfall excludes allocated overhead costs of $2.2 million. Also, PHCS is actively involved in the training of approximately 50 medical students a year for which it receives no reimbursement. PHCS is also committed to support the education and training of nursing students. PHCS has long standing affiliation agreements with The College of New Jersey, Mercer County Community College, and Somerset County Technical Institute to provide training experiences for their nursing students. In 2011, there were 156 different residents that completed 844 resident rotations at PHCS. Charity Care PHCS provides care to patients who meet certain criteria defined by the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services ("DHSS") without charge or at amounts less than its established rates. Because PHCS does not pursue collection of amounts determined to qualify as charity care, they are not reported as revenue. PHCS's records identify and monitor the level of charity care it provides and the amount of charges foregone for services and supplies furnished. Charges foregone for charity care during the 2011 were approximately $47,990,000. This amount is higher than the amount reported in the audited financial statements because many patients subsequently qualified for charity care. The full costs (less some minor payments) associated to provide charity care approximated $9,111,000. DHSS charity care guidelines require participation and specific documentation of the patient in order to be identified as a charity care account. Management believes that the present charity care guidelines understate PHCS's charity care amounts and overstate the level of bad debts reported, because of the difficulties involved with obtaining patient participation and specific documentation. The New Jersey Health Care Subsidy Fund ("HCSF") was established for various purposes including the distribution of charity care payments to hospitals statewide. In 2011, PHCS received subsidy amounts of $1,214,000 which are included in net patient service revenue. Additionally, the State of New Jersey has established a Mental Health Subsidy Fund to pay for specific behavioral health services. In 2011, PHCS received $1,257,000 for this program. Since the State created a Mental Health Subsidy Fund in recognition of the need to support Short Term Care Facility (STCF) and Child Community Inpatient Services (CCIS) beds. This fund is not specifically targeted to underfunding related to Charity Care and Medicaid patients but for all patients in need of these services. Approximately 54% of Princeton House's STCF days are Charity Care or Medicaid. The charity care provided above is only that reported to DHSS. PHCS does not submit claims to DHSS for qualified patients (financially indigent meeting poverty guidelines) relating to uncovered services such as behavioral health services. In 2011 PHCS provided inpatient behavioral health services to 51 patients that were hospitalized a total of 495 days and $457,000 of direct costs to uninsured patients that would normally meet DHSS financial criteria. Governmental Shortfalls PHCS participates with all governmental programs including but not limited to Medicare, Medicaid, Champus, etc. In 2011 PHCS received approximately $93.7 million dollars from the Medicare program. The costs associated with these revenues in accordance with Medicare rules and reported on the Medicare cost report was $110.1 million, resulting in a shortfall of $16.4 million or 14.9%. In 2011, PHCS received approximately $13.7 million dollars from the Medicaid and Medicaid managed care programs. The costs associated with these revenues in accordance with Medicare rules were $19.4 million, resulting in a shortfall of $5.5 million or 42%. |

| DISCLOSURE INFORMATION | CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION B; QUESTION 15 | THE ORGANIZATION IS THE PARENT ENTITY OF THE PRINCETON HEALTHCARE SYSTEM HOLDING, INC. AND AFFILIATES ("SYSTEM"); A TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM WHICH INCLUDES PRINCETON HEALTHCARE SYSTEM. THIS FILING ORGANIZATION ITSELF HAS NO PAID SENIOR MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL RECEIVING COMPENSATION DIRECTLY FROM THIS ORGANIZATION. RATHER, KEY SENIOR MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL, INCLUDING but not limited to THE PRESIDENT/CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, ARE EMPLOYED BY THE TAX-EXEMPT HOSPITAL WITHIN THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM. HOWEVER, THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS OF THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE SHOWN ON THIS TAX RETURN BECAUSE THEY ARE ALSO EITHER OFFICERS OR BOARD MEMBERS OF THIS ORGANIZATION. ACCORDINGLY, THE HOSPITAL'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES 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 HOSPITAL'S SENIOR MANAGEMENT, INCLUDING but not limited to 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'S REVIEW IS DONE ON AT LEAST AN ANNUAL BASIS AND ENSURES THAT THE "TOTAL COMPENSATION" OF SENIOR MANAGEMENT IS REASONABLE. THE ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE COMMITTEE ENABLE THE HOSPITAL TO RECEIVE THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS FOR PURPOSES OF INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 4958 WITH RESPECT TO THE TOTAL COMPENSATION OF CERTAIN MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM, INCLUDING but not limited to THE PRESIDENT/CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER. 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 TRUSTEES EACH OF WHOm ARE INDEPENDENT AND ARE FREE FROM ANY CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. THE COMMITTEE RELIED UPON APPROPRIATE COMPARABLE DATA; SPECIFICALLY THE COMMITTEE OBTAINED A WRITTEN COMPENSATION STUDY FROM AN INDEPENDENT FIRM WHICH SPECIALIZES IN THE REVIEWING OF HOSPITAL AND HEALTHCARE SYSTEM EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. THIS STUDY USED COMPARABLE GEOGRAPHIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC MARKET DATA INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO SIMILAR SIZED HOSPITALS, # OF LICENSED BEDS AND NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. 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 ACTIONS OUTLINED ABOVE WITH RESPECT TO THE COMMITTEE AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS ONLY APPLIES TO CERTAIN SENIOR MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE PRESIDENT/CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER. THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS OF CERTAIN OTHER INDIVIDUALS CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 990 ARE REVIEWED ANNUALLY BY THE PRESIDENT/CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER WITH ASSISTANCE FROM ORGANIZATION'S HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE INDIVIDUAL'S JOB PERFORMANCE DURING THE YEAR AND IS BASED UPON OTHER OBJECTIVE FACTORS DESIGNED TO ENSURE THAT REASONABLE AND FAIR MARKET VALUE COMPENSATION IS PAID BY THE ORGANIZATION. OTHER OBJECTIVE FACTORS INCLUDE MARKET SURVEY DATA FOR COMPARABLE POSITIONS, INDIVIDUAL GOALS AND OBJECTIVES, PERSONNEL REVIEWS, EVALUATIONS, SELF-EVALUATIONS AND PERFORMANCE FEEDBACK MEETINGS. |
