V 4 Support health care mission of Virginia Mason Medical Center and research mission of Benaroya Research Institute at Virginia Mason.
X 2 Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Medical Center and recognize a tax liability or asset if the Corporation has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. Management has analyzed tax positions taken by the Corporation and has concluded that as of December 31, 2012, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or asset or disclosure in the financial statements. The Medical Center is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Medical Centers management believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2009.

Identifier ReturnReference Explanation
Part I Line 3c   Charity Care discounts that are less than 100 will be taken after any uninsured discounts are applied. Additional full or partial Charity Care may be provided to patients with gross family incomes from 201 to 300 of the federal poverty level when circumstances as determined by the Medical Center indicate that full payment may cause financial hardship so as to significantly harm the patient or patients family. Additional full or partial discounts may be provided to patients who are not otherwise eligible for Charity Care, i.e., with gross family incomes above three hundred percent 300 of the federal poverty guidelines adjusted for family size. Such discounts may be provided to patients with catastrophic costs or conditions when circumstances as determined by the Medical Center indicate that full payment may cause extraordinary financial hardship to the patient or the patients family. The Medical Center shall determine, on a case by case basis, whether a patient qualifies as Medically Indigent pursuant to its policy and shall, through Patient Financial Services, determine the amount of the discount, if any. Determinations shall be made expeditiously after submission of financial information by the patient, but shall not be subject to any appeal rights.
Part I Line 7   The Medical Center used the direct expenses and revenues of the hospital to calculate the cost-to-charges ratio for the amounts included in the table reflected in Part I. The cost-to-charge ratios used was derived using Worksheet 2, Ratio of Patient Care Cost-to-Charge ratio per the instructions.
Part II   The Medical Center supports community building activities by providing operational support to a daycare program which provides daycare for vulnerable populations. The Medical Center supported a Day of Caring at non-profit organizations through United Way. The Medical Center supported a medical recuperation program for homeless people who need health services but no longer need hospital-level care for King County.
Part III Line 4   The Medical Centers financial statement includes the following statement on estimated uncollectibles The Medical Center provides an allowance for potential uncollectible patient accounts receivable whereby such receivables are reduced to their estimated net realizable value. For accounts receivable associated with patients who have insurance coverage, the Medical Center analyzes contractually due amounts based on aging and other relevant factors, if necessary. For accounts receivable associated with self-pay patients, the Medical Center records an allowance for uncollectible accounts in the period of service based on aging, historical collection experience and other relevant factors. There are various factors that can impact the collection trends, such as changes in the economy, which in turn have an impact on unemployment rates and the number of uninsured and underinsured patients, the increased burden of co-payments to be made by patients with insurance, and business practices related to collection efforts. These factors continuously change and can have an impact on collection trends and the estimation process. The difference between the standard or contractual rates and the amounts actually collected after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted is charged off against the allowance for uncollectible accounts. The following information summarizes the change in allowance for uncollectible accounts during the year ended December 31, 2011 Allowance for uncollectible accounts at beginning of the year 4,456,000 Write-offs of accounts deemed uncollectible 9,098,000 Provision for bad debt 9,214,000 Allowance for uncollectible accounts at the end of the year 4,572,000. For the year ended December 31, 2012 Allowance for uncollectible accounts at beginning of the year 4,572,000 Write-offs of accounts deemed uncollectible 10,757,000 Provision for bad debt 10,801,000 Allowance for uncollectible accounts at end of year 4,616,000.
Part III Line 8   The Medical Centers calcuation of the Medicare shortfall related to Hospital based inpatient and outpatient services is 19,580,046. The Medical Center employs over 400 physicians who provide professional services to patients which is not covered in this number. In addition, the Medical Center operates satellite clinics and ambulatory surgery centers which are not reported in the Medicare cost report. For all of its patient services, the Medical Center utilizes a comprehensive electronic cost reporting package which uses the directly assigned general ledger costs and allocates all overhead costs to operating costs using a model inspired by the Medicare cost report. This model shows that 42 million of Medicare revenue is not included in the traditional cost report with related costs of 80 million for a shortfall of 38 million primarily due to shortfall of Medicare professional fees versus costs.
Part III Line 9b   Virginia Masons mission is to improve the health and well-being of the patients we serve. To ensure the Medical Center continues to have the resources to fulfill our mission, we must balance the financial needs of our patients with those of the Medical Center. In all instances, we will treat our patients with dignity, compassion and respect. The Medical Center expects payment in full upon receipt of the patients first billing. Patients will receive monthly Medical Center statements upon determination of the patients private responsibility. A Virginia Mason Clinic statement will be sent representing the professional component of services provided. If services were provided or processed at the downtown campus except the Health Resources Building, which is not licensed as part of the hospital, a Hospital statement will also be sent representing the facility/technical component of services. As outstanding balances age, statement messages dunning, collection letters and/or telephone calls may be used at appropriate intervals as determined by the Medical Center. Delinquent accounts may be forwarded to a third party where a series of collection contacts letters and phone calls will be initiated. Delinquent self pay accounts that have not been paid in full or established an approved installment payment plan may be referred to a collection agency. This occurs approximately 130 days from determination of patient responsibility. Patient Financial Services management team has responsibility for determining under what circumstances a balance may be referred for collection agency resolution. The Medical Center recognizes there are occasions when a patient is not financially able to pay their medical bill in full. Those patients who indicate they are experiencing financial hardship will be offered the opportunity to apply for charity care assistance. Collection activity will be suspended pending eligibility determination. If the patients income is greater than 300 of the current years federal poverty guideline FPG, charity is denied and alternative payment arrangement are discussed. If the patients income is less than 300 of the current years FPG, the patient will complete the charity application and send supporting documentation. If charity determination is approved, the charity care discount is applied to the outstanding account balance based on the FPG determination and a confirmatory letter is sent to the patient. If charity is denied, the Medical Center will send a denial letter to the patient. A summary report of collection activities taken will be provided to the Medical Center Board on an annual basis per the Washington State Hospital Association WSHA guidelines.
Part V   Line 20 - Virginia Mason is a participant in the Washington State Hospital Association Voluntary Effort on billing to the Uninsured. These guidelines developed in 2007 created a statewide standard for financial assistance consistent with Washington state law which provides that patients with gross family incomes at or below three hundred percent 300 of the federal poverty guidelines FPG adjusted for family size are eligible for charity care according to a sliding fee schedule. The maximum amount charged to FAP-eligible individuals for emergency or other medically necessary care is based on a sliding fee scale determined by FPG. Charity Care discounts that are less than 100 will be taken after a 25 uninsured discount is applied to the gross charges. Patients who are between 201 and 250 of FPG receive an additional 50 discount for a total reduction in charges of 67.5. Patients who are between 251 and 300 receive an additional 30 discount for a total reduction in charges of 52.5.
Part VI Line 2   Virginia Mason believes in contributing to the communities where patients and staff work and live. We act on this belief by contributing time, energy and money to efforts that benefit the community in the areas of improving health, providing free and subsidized care, and supporting health professionals education and research. Virginia Mason conducts a Community Health Needs Assessment CHNA every three years. In 2009, the Medical Center enhanced its community needs assessment by utilizing data from Public Health - Seattle and King County, United Way of King County, Snohomish County Health District, Kitsap County Health District, Northwest Area Foundation and Washington State Department of Health Local Public Health Indicators, and the United States Department of Health and Human Services Healthy People 2010 leading health indicators. We partnered with The Center for Community Health and Evaluation CCHE in 2012 to begin building our next CHNA, which included gathering secondary data from a variety of local, state, and federal agencies, including Public Health-Seattle and King County, and conducting key informant interviews with individuals representing public health, city government, the healthcare safety net, cultural communities, schools, and health adovacy. Our CHNA drives our community work and serves as a guideline to help us achieve three basic goals 1 Improve the communitys health status and overall quality of life 2 Reduce health disparities within the community and 3 Increase access to preventive services. Our community benefit program focuses our resources on the needs of the community and the strengths of Virginia. Some examples A Subsidized Health Services 1 Bailey-Boushay House BBH is Americas first skilled nursing facility that has planned, funded, built and staffed to meet the needs of people living with AIDS. In 2012, Virginia Mason provided more than 950,000 in community benefit funding to support BBH. 2 Partnership with Public Health - Seattle and King County Health Care for the Homeless Network and other area hospitals to provide The Edward Thomas Respite Care program for homeless adults in King County. 3 Virginia Mason partners with Project Access Northwest PANW to provide specialty medical care for individuals with limited access to health care services. 4 Emergency Department open to all. 5 Tender Loving Care, a subsidized daycare program for mildly ill children. B. Uncompensated Care As a nonprofit organization, Virginia Mason is committed to serving patients who are uninsured, underinsured or otherwise unable to pay for their medical care. C. Research Virginia Mason conducts medical research through its affiliate, Benaroya Research Institute at Virginia Mason BRI. D. Education 1 Virginia Mason is a premier teaching hospital that offers postgraduate education programs through its Graduate Medical Education Department GME. All GME postgraduate training programs are fully approved by the Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education ACGME. 2 Virginia Masons GME program partners with Public Health - Seattle and King County Health Services Division, providing 12 residents for the Eastgate Public Health Center. 3 Virginia Mason provides a 0.5 FTE faculty member every fall, winter and spring quarter for undergraduate clinical nursing instruction for the University of Washington School of Nursing. E. Community Partnerships Virginia Mason is a member of the King County Community Health Needs Assessment Collaborative, a partnership that includes all King County hospitals, Public Health-Seattle and King County, and the Washington State Hospital Association. In addition to collaborating on future CHNAs, this partnership is researching and planning collaborative community benefit activities that will have a greater impact on the health of our community.
Part VI Line 2   continued F. Community Health Improvement Services 1 Community health education, such as our bilingual community diabetes prevention program, Nutrition and Fitness for Life program and classes in the Buse Diabetes Teaching Center. 2 Free health screenings and health fair sponsorships in the community. 3 Free flu shots and health screenings for the homeless in conjunction with United Way of King Countys Community Resource Exchange. 4 Sponsorship of many professionally facilitated support groups, including brain tumor, Parkinsons disease, breast cancer, gastric bypass surgery and prostate cancer groups. 5 Bereavement support through our Separation and Loss Services. Because our current and future CHNAs indicate diabetes and obesity to be significant health risks, especially with our most vulnerable populations, Virginia Mason has also developed a comprehensive bilingual diabetes prevention program for the Latino community. This program includes education and outreach at the two largest Latino health fairs each year, interactive presentations six times a month at the Mexican Consulate in Seattle and a one-hour Spanish language radio program on El Ray 1360, with outreach to the entire state.
Part VI Line 3   The Medical Center informs and educates patients and persons who may be billed for patient care about their eligibility for assistance under federal, state, or local government programs or under the Medical Centers charity care policy at various points beginning with scheduling and continuing through the patient billing process. At scheduling, if a patient indicates they are without insurance and unable to pay for the services, their account is flagged for a Patient Account Specialist to contact them to discuss assistance. At arrival for an appointment, the Medical Centers admissions lobby areas have signage regarding availability of charity care, a copy of the charity care policy and information regarding who to contact for assistance. During the arrival process, the Medical Centers admissions personnel will confirm ability to pay. If financial need or financial hardship is indicated, the Medical Center Financial Counselors will work with the patient to determine whether Medicaid, state program options, or charity care would be appropriate. The Medical Centers charity policy and financial assistance contact information is also included in patient bills. The Medical Centers Patient Guide to Fees and Billings include information on charity availability and contact information to initiate an assessment. The brochure is available in all patient lobbies for the patient to pick up. The brochure is also sent out by Patient Account Services staff based on a patients expressed concerns either via phone or letter. The Medical Centers website also includes information about charity availability and the contact number to initiate an assessment.
Part VI Line 4   In 2011, Virginia Mason served over 230,000 individuals in its hospital and outpatient clinics. Virginia Masons service area encompasses the communities where it facilities are located and where 75 percent of its patients reside King County, the southwest region of Snohomish County, and Bainbridge Island in Kitsap County. Residents of Virginia Mason patients 2011 data are 1 Seattle 51,282 2 East King County 48,577 3 South King County 38,902 4 Northshore 23,962 5 Bainbridge Island 9,074 6 Service area total 171,797 7 Other Western Washington 39,192 8 Eastern Washington 6,932 9 Other Pacific Northwest 4,719 10 Other 7,668 for a total of 230,308.
Part VI Line 4   continued The service area population in 2010 was 2,188,175. the age and racial/ethnic profile of the total population of the three counties are as follows King County 1 Total population 1,942,600 2 Under 18 years 21 3 Age 18-64 68 4 65 years or older 11 5 White 65 6 Hispanic 9 7 Black 6 8 Asian 14 9 American Indian/Alaska Native 1 10 Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander 1 11 Two or more races 4. Kitsap County 1 Total population 253,900 2 Under 18 years 23 3 Age 18-64 64 4 65 years or older 13 5 White 79 6 Hispanic 6 7 Black 3 8 Asian 5 9 American Indian/Alaska Native 1 10 Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander 1 11 Two or more races 5.

Just under a quarter of residents are under age 18, and over 10 percent are 65 or older. The highest proportion of the population that is nonwhite is in King County. According to the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council, estimated median family income in 2012 in the Seattle-Bellevue-Everett metropolitan area was 88,000. Within King County, median income was lowest for blacks and American Indians/Alaska natives and in urban south King County. In King County, poverty rates are highest in White Center/Boulevard Park, several central and southeast Seattle neighborhoods and Auburn. Enrollment in the free and reduced price meals programs has increased over the past decade and is highest in the Highline, Tukwila and Skykomish school districts. While unemployment has declined from nearly 10 percent in fall 2010 in the Seattle metropolitan area which includes parts of Snohomish County, it is still higher than before the economic downturn - 7.1 percent in May 2012.
Part VI Line 5   Virginia Masons community benefit program is designed to improve our communitys health status and overall quality of life, reduce health disparities within the commounity and increase access to preventive services. To accomplish this, our organization contributes time, energy and money in the areas of improving health, providing free and subsidized care, health professional education and research.
Part VI Line 5   continued Uncompensated Care. As a non-profit organization, Virginia Mason is committed to serving patients who are uninsured, underinsured or otherwise unable to pay for their medical care. Under Virginia Masons charity care policy, free or reduced-cost medically necessary care after all health insurance has been exhausted is provided to individuals making up to 300 percent of the federal poverty level in keeping with the Washington State Hospital Association voluntary guidelines on billing the uninsured. In 2012, Virginia Mason provided charity care to 5,979 patients at a cost of 11,042,665. In addition, Virginia Masons unreimbursed Medicaid was provided at a cost of 20,432,319.
Part VI Line 5   continued Community Health Improvement Services. Improving health and quality of life extends beyond diagnoisis and treatment. It also requires community health education and outreach services. Health improvement and outreach services provided by Virginia Mason include the following 1 community health education, such as classes in the Buse Diabetes Teaching Center 2 free health screenings at community health fairs 3 free flu shots and health screenings for the homeless in conjunction with United Way of King Countys Community Resource Exchange 4 sponsorship of many professionally facilitated support groups, including diabetes prevention and management 5 bereavement support through our Separation and Loss Services and 6 leadership roles in serveral community organizations, which focus on health care.
Part VI Line 5   continued Health Professions Education. Virginia Mason strongly supports medical education to ensure our patients and the community benefit from advances in medical care. Virginia Mason is a premier teaching hospital that offers postgraduate education programs through its Graduate Medical Education Department GME. All GME postgraduate training programs are fully approved by the Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education ACGME. Virginia Mason trains more than 120 residents and fellows annually. Virginia Masons GME program is partnered with Public Health - Seattle and King County Health Services Division, providing 12 residents for the Eastgate Public Health Center, as well as providing residents at the Carolyn Downs Family Medical Center, Pike Market Medical Clinic and North Public Health Center. Virginia Masons collaboration with the Eastgate Public Health Center combines the Medical Centers commitment to teaching and community benefit through an innovative public-private program which allows residents to be more involved in the care of the underserved and uninsured. The Eastgate clinic is the largest of three county public health clinics in east King County and offers a variety of primary care services to adults and children. Approximately 50 percent of patients seen at the clinic do not have insurance or the means to pay, and approximately the same percentage do not speak English and require interpretive services. This resident clinic improves overall health in the community and gives back to our community in a meaningful way. Virginia Mason serves as an internship site for students in a variety of other health programs, such as nursing, pharmacy, respiratory therapy and laboratory technology. Also, Virginia Mason provides a 0.5 FTE faculty member every fall, winter and spring quarter for undergraduate clinical nursing instruction for the University of Washington School of Nursing.
Part VI Line 5   continued Subsidized Health Services. Every community needs certain health care services that typically cost more to deliver than the provider of these services receives. These subsidized health services include 1 Bailey-Boushay House BBH, a nursing residence and Adult Day Health center for people living with HIV/AIDS and 2 Tender Loving Care, a day-care program for mildly ill children.
Part VI Line 5   continued Research. Virginia Mason conducts medical research through its affiliate, Benaroya Reserach Institute at Virginia Mason BRI. BRI is a non-profit biomedical research institute that works to unlock the mysteries of the immune sysstem. Its team of world-renowned scientists is focused on identifying causes and cures for devastating diseases including diabetes, arthritis, heart disease and cancer. In 2012, the Medical Center provided 4,976,000 to support research activities at BRI.
Part VI Line 5   continued Environmental Improvements. Virginia Masons environmental stewardship initiative, EnviroMason, provides the framework for making unique energy and waste management decisions, such as setting policies on reliability and use, making efficiency improvements, supporting capital planning and infrastructure design, and encouraging employee participation and innovation. The goal of EnviroMason is to reduce waste, recycle and conserve resources of our community. Virginia Mason became the first hospital in the Pacific Northwest to eliminate garbage cans and Styrofoam use and begin composting food waste. The organization was able to reduce kitchen garbage waste by 75 percent and reduce water use by 72 percent. Virginia Mason composts 15 tons of food and material waste per month, saves about 160,000 gallons of water in the hospitals kichen each year, and recycles about 250 pounds of plastic and tin each day. Cardboard recycling has increased by nearly 300 percent. Also, nearly 100 percent of cafeteria product purchases today are compostable. Our recycling results showed 34 percent of all waste generated at Virginia Mason is recycled, saving nearly 680 tons of waste from the environment. In addition, Virginia Mason has invested more than 3 million in energy conservation endeavors, including efficient lighting, advanced chiller plan installation and upgrades, and extensive water and energy and conservation measures. In 2011, Virginia Mason collaborated with a vendor to install three electric vehicle charging stations in one of our parking lots which helps promote this new technology and gives employees, patients and the general public a location to park and charge vehicles. Virginia Mason has one of the highest medical center surgery volumes in the region and about 30 percent of the organizations waste could be traced to the operating rooms. Even though general perceptions are that operating rooms have unique biohazard and blood contamination challenges, only about 15 percent of surgical waste requires special processing. Virginia Mason was the first hospital in the region to recycle in the Operating Room. Team members sort recyclable products from trash before surgeries even begin. About 80 percent of waste, such as clear plastics, blue surgical wrap, aluminum and other materials generated in Virginia Masons operating room is recycled. This represents about 800 pounds of recycled material each week.
Part VI Line 5   continued Medical Staff. Virginia Mason has 779 members on its active hospital staff, including Virginia Mason physicians, 227 Group Health physicians, 45 Pacific Medical Center physicians, and 42 other community providers.
Part VI Line 5   continued Accountability to the Community. The Medical Center is accountable to the public through its Board, the voting members of which are community members who represent the diverse populations and needs of communities served by the Medical Center. The Medical Center is also accountable to the community through its sole voting member, the Health System whose Board is composed primarily of community members. In futherance of its commitment to responsible governance practices, the Medical Centers Audit and Compliance Committee, composed entirely of community members of the organizations Board , is charged with the overseeing the selection and discharge of the Medical Centers independent financial auditors and oversight of the Medical Centers compliance programs. In addition, the Medical Center has chartered a Governance Committee, responsible for reviewing and evaluating the organizations corporate governance policies and guidelines, and providing oversight of procedures for disclosure and management of conflict of interest. The voting members of the Governance Committee are independent community members of the Medical Centers board. As a further mechanism for community involvement and leadership, Virginia Mason has established a Board of Governors, an advisory body of community representatives. The Board of Governors regularly participates in extensive tours of various areas of the Medical Center facilities and becomes involved in forums for in-depth discussion of issues of importance to these organizations and the communities they serve. Bailey-Boushay House, a division of the Medical Center which provides day health and skilled nursing facility services to individuals living with HIV/AIDS, also has an advisory board comprised primarily of representatives of the community who provide input and guidance on serving the community.
Part VI Line 5   continued Use of Financial Surpluses. All financial surpluses from the operation of the Medical Center are used exclusively to further its charitable purposes. No individual receives any portion of the organizations respective surplus as a result of ownership or any other insider relationship. The Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Medical Center Board, which directes the performance review and approves the compensation and benefits of the Medical Center s senior leadership, is composed entirely of community members of the Board who have no financial ties to the Medical Center, either directly or through family or business relationships.

Identifier Return Reference Explanation
I 1a In recognition of her qualifications and prior experience with Virginia Mason Medical Center, the Medical Center entered into an employment agreement with its CIO/CFO. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement she received a cash payment designed to equal the retirement contributions made to employees with similiar experience. To render it tax neutral to the employee, the payment was increased for the anticipated federal income tax liability. The payment will end April 2013.
I 1a Social club dues are provided to two members of the senior leadership team who use the club memberships for business purposes. These payments are treated as non-taxable.
I 1b The payment to the CIO/CFO referred to above was negotiated as part of an employment agreement which was reviewed and approved by the Medical Centers Board of Directors Compensation and Benefits Committee, a committee composed of independent board members to whom the Board has delegated authority to approve compensation and benefits for executive leaders of the Medical Center.
I 1b All invoices for payment of social club dues and associated monthly expenses are paid pursuant to the Medical Center Business Expense Policy and Social Club Dues Policy.
I 4b The Medical Center has a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan SERP. The SERP is a 457f nonqualified deferred compensation plan pursuant to which plan benefits are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. The plan was approved by the Boards Compensation and Benefits Committee, a committee composed of independent board members to whom the Board delegates the authority to approve compensation and benefits for the Medical Centers most senior executives. The Committee receives advice from an independent compensation consultant to ensure that compensation and benefits, including the SERP, are market competitive and reasonable. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans such as this are customary for senior executives in the health care industry.

    Form 990 Part III Line 1 The Medical Center also operates Bailey-Boushay House, a skilled nursing facility and day health center serving the HIV/AIDS community. The Medical Center patient care services are integrated with and enhanced by education and research activities which include a graduate medical education program providing training to over 120 residents, fellows and medical students each year. In addition, the Medical Center sponsors training programs for pharmacy and a variety of other health services such as nursing, respiratory therapy, physical therapy, speech and language therapy and laboratory technology.
    Form 990 Part III Line 4a The Medical Center is committed to subsidizing certain health services due to the demonstrated need for these services in the community. Since 1992, the Medical Center has addressed the treatment of HIV/AIDS by operating Bailey-Boushay House Bailey-Boushay, a 35-bed skilled nursing facility. The first facility in the nation built specifically for the care of people living with AIDS, Bailey-Boushay now also serves other individuals who need intensive nursing care, many of whom are Medicaid recipients. In addition to the care provided to its residential population, Bailey-Boushay provides day health services to 258 clients annually, allowing them to live independently with HIV/AIDS. The Medical Center also offers emergency services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The department is staffed by board-certified emergency physicians, physician assistants and certified emergency nurses.
    Form 990 Part III Line 4a continued The Medical Center is committed to providing necessary medical services regardless of a patients ability to pay and without discrimination as to race, color, creed, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientatioin, disability, age, source of income, or any other class protected by federal or Washington state law, or who have an emergency medical condition.

Charity care was provided at a cost of 11,042,665 during the year, along with 20,432,319 of Medicaid contractual allowances. Charity care does not include bad debts which is the amount the Medical Center is not paid by patients deemed able to pay their bills.
    Form 990 Part III Line 4b The Medical Centers graduate medical education program maintains education affiliation agreements with community clinics under which the Medical Centers residents provide care to patients at clinics serving low-income and uninsured patients.
