| FORM 990 | SCHEDULE O | PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 2 Pauline Dalton, board member, has a family relationship with her daughter, Rachelle Marquardt, Executive Director of the foundation. PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 6-7B WFH St Joseph Hospital Foundation has one member which holds several reserved powers over WFH St Joseph Hospital Foundation. These reserved powers include, but are not limited to, the election of members of the governing body and election of officers, approval of certain financial expenditures in accordance with policy, and approval of budgets and strategic plans; these approvals are based on recommendations from the governing body. Part VI Section B Line 10 Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare and Franciscan Ministries are part of a controlled group of health care and housing providers, controlled under a common parent organization Wheaton Franciscan Services, Inc. Some of these organizations are exempt through the Catholic Group Ruling and other organizations have a stand alone exemption (IRS determination) letter. As such, these related affiliates have certain policies and procedures that were adopted at the parent level, but are applicable to the entire controlled group of organizations. All policy and procedure matters are handled in a manner to ensure that all activities are consistent with the organization's overall exempt purposes. Please see Schedule R for a full listing of all related affiliate organizations. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 11 Affiliates of Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare use a multiple-level review process on all Federal and State information and tax returns to ensure accurate and timely filing for all organizations. Under the direction of the Tax Manager, the Accounting Department prepares Forms 990, 990-T, and associated state filings. When complete, the return is first reviewed by the Accounting Director, who focuses on the income statement and balance sheet items, and all schedules where transactions of this type might be reported. If discrepancies are found, the item will be corrected prior to the next step in the review process. Once cleared through Accounting, the return is provided to the Tax Department, where the Tax Manager and Vice President of Treasury and Risk Management focus their review on consistency of reporting between all returns, accuracy of tax related information, and explanation and understanding of any outliers. Again, any problems or questions are investigated and corrected. Depending on the level of complexity of the year in question, as well as the individual issues specific to that filing, certain returns may be selected for outside review by a public accounting firm. This decision will vary from year to year based on many factors, and sometimes outside review is not utilized at all. Also, certain schedules, such as Schedule K, Schedule H, and Schedule J, may be selected for review by outside bond counsel, a community benefit associate, and/or the compensation committee respectfully and as needed. This decision will vary from year to year, again based on many factors. The Tax Department, upon completion of all levels of review, will schedule an appointment with the Senior Vice President and CFO, who will perform a review prior to signing the return. Once signed, the return is cleared to provide to members of the Board of Directors. The parent organization, Wheaton Franciscan Services, Inc. has designated that the Audit Committee review the parent return in certain years. This is a cursory review, where the 990 is explained at a high level by management representatives, and any questions or concerns that the board has can be addressed. At a later date and prior to efiling, the full board is provided access to all 990's and 990-T's throughout the system via an online portal. A similar process exists at the regional holding company levels - a 990 is selected for review in certain years by the Finance and Operations Committee. Similarly, the 990 (and accompanying 990-T if any) is explained at a high level, and board questions or concerns are addressed. Members of the full board are provided access to all 990's and 990-T's within that region prior to efiling via an online portal. Part VI Section B Line 12a, 12b, and 12c As part of an annual process, conflict of interest questions are sent out to all Officers, Directors, and other individuals in key positions using software designed to capture this information. The responses are analyzed in order to determine information on potential conflicts, as well as information on business and family relationships for purposes of answering certain questions on IRS Form 990. Responses to these questions are reviewed by the Vice President of Compliance and the Manager of Tax Compliance, and follow up action, if any, are documented within the software. After an approximate 3 and again at 6 weeks, names of all non responders are compiled, and these individuals receive either an email or letter reminding them to complete the information. Responses to questions continue to be reviewed and documented throughout this time period. Approximately 1 month prior to the filing deadline of IRS Form 990, responses to date are compiled. Any response requiring disclosure is entered into the information return. Also at this date, the remaining non responder names are determined, and a letter, along with the actual Conflict of Interest Policy, is sent to the Chairperson of each board. The letter outlines the current non responders, as well as any Officer or Board member that has disclosed a financial interest that might pose a potential conflict of interest. Depending upon the nature of the financial interest and work done by the board, several actions may be considered - the board member with a financial interest would need to voluntarily excuse him or herself from the deliberations and/or voting on such a matter; or, if necessary, the board would determine that the subject's financial interest was an actual conflict of interest, in which case the board member would be informed by the board Chairperson that he or she would not be allowed to vote in any such matters due to this real or perceived conflict of interest. Minutes of the board meeting would document this decision process, and reflect whatever action(s) are ultimately taken. The board chairperson is also required to discuss with non responders the repercussions of not responding after two attempts, and require the board member to complete the annual conflict of interest disclosure questions before being allowed to continue in any board matters. If the board member refuses, the Chairperson has the authority to determine the appropriate action, including, but not limited to prohibiting them from participating in deliberations, preventing them from voting, and/or removing them as a board member. |
| FORM 990 | SCHEDULE O Continued | Part VI, Section B, Line 15a and 15b The compensation of the CEO of Wheaton Franciscan Services Inc. (WFSI) and other officers and key employees of the filing organization is reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Executive Committee of the WFSI Board of Directors, an independent board, acting in a manner consistent with its conflicts of interest policy. The board's decision is informed by an opinion on market comparable compensation data provided to the board by an independent compensation expert. The organization maintains contemporaneous documentation of the substantiation of the deliberation and decision by the board. Part VI Section C Line 19 Affiliates of Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare and Franciscan Ministries provide upon request certain documents including our financial statements, conflict of interest policy, and governing documents that support our tax exempt status, including, but not limited to, articles of incorporation and bylaws. Requests for information are considered on a case-by-case basis, and this process is outlined in our Public Disclosure Policy. As part of the requirements for tax exempt bond financing, the consolidated financial statements of Wheaton Franciscan Services, Inc. (#36-3262111), the parent corporation of Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare and Franciscan Ministries affiliates are required to be provided each quarter to the Municipal Securities Rule Making Board (MSRB). The vehicle used to accomplish this is through an external website (http://emma.msrb.org/) referred to as "EMMA" (Electronic Municipal Market Access System). The financial statements are uploaded each quarter to the website, and along with other information provided at the bond's inception, are available for viewing by the general public. Part VII Column C Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare and Franciscan Ministries are a controlled group of related healthcare and housing organizations. As such, many employees who are at the Vice President level or above, or who are Officers and/or Directors of organizations where Wheaton has common boards and other overlaps, spend significant time devoted to tasks not only for the filing organization, but also for related organizations. While there is no official time study tracking that is done, it is estimated that for each employee, tasks devoted to related organizations could approximate up to 80% of total hours.

| FORM 990 Program Services Page 3 | Schedule O | TOTAL BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY IN SOUTHEAST WISCONSIN FOR 2012: $126,260,591. Wheaton Franciscan - Elmbrook Memorial (Brookfield, Wisconsin), St. Joseph Campus (Southeast Wisconsin) and The Wisconsin Heart Hospital Campuses (Wauwatosa, Wisconsin) Wheaton Franciscan has three campuses: Wheaton Franciscan - Elmbrook Memorial, St. Joseph and Wheaton Franciscan - The Wisconsin Heart Hospital. Wheaton Franciscan - Elmbrook Memorial Campus (Brookfield, Wisconsin) Wheaton Franciscan - Elmbrook Memorial Campus, located in Brookfield, Wisconsin, was founded in 1969 by the Misericordia Sisters of Montreal, Quebec. In 1984, the Sisters transferred sponsorship of the hospital to the Wheaton Franciscan Sisters. From 1993 until 2006, Elmbrook Memorial was part of Wheaton Franciscan Services, Inc.'s (WFSI) Milwaukee corporation, Covenant Healthcare System, Inc. With WFSI's reorganization in 2006, the hospital is now part of the System's Southeast Wisconsin region and is known as Wheaton Franciscan- Elmbrook Memorial Campus. Elmbrook Memorial is a 166-bed full-service acute care hospital providing comprehensive medical care in a convenient, attractive setting. Fully accredited by the Joint Commission, Elmbrook Memorial is known for its high level of quality patient-centered medical care. Specialties include cancer care, cardiac care, diagnostic imaging, orthopedic/neurological services, a 24-hour emergency department, full obstetric and gynecological services, a Prenatal Assessment Center, a Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence, a Center for Digestive Health and comprehensive surgical services including robotic, minimally invasive and advanced laparoscopic procedures. Elmbrook Memorial was recognized as a 2010 Distinguished Hospital for Clinical Excellence by HealthGrades. To achieve this honor, a hospital must rank at or above the top 5% nationally for three consistent years in all 26 of the most common surgical procedures and diagnoses reviewed by HealthGrades. Elmbrook Memorial has also achieved national distinction in a number of areas. Through its partnership with the Bariatric Institute of Wisconsin, Elmbrook Memorial became one of the first 10 hospitals in the nation to receive recognition as a Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence from the American Society for Bariatric Surgery. The hospital is also designated as a Baby-Friendly Hospital. Beyond providing exceptional and compassionate health care service on a daily basis, Elmbrook Memorial works to promote improved health in the communities it serves. Programs and services supported by Elmbrook Memorial are multi-faceted and reach out to all people regardless of age, race, or income level. Specific delivery of care includes prenatal and parenting programs, programs for seniors, services for patients with restricted access to transportation, support groups, and sponsorships of community wellness and health care events including screenings, immunizations, health fairs, and educational programs. In addition, Elmbrook Memorial routinely supports surrounding communities' community education talks designed to promote the benefits of healthy lifestyles and reduce the likelihood of chronic disease. Its Medical Explorers Program offers high school students the opportunity to learn from doctors, nurses, medical technicians, and specialists and gives them first-hand experience of medical career opportunities. Wheaton Franciscan - Elmbrook Memorial Foundation (Brookfield, Wisconsin) Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare - Elmbrook Memorial Foundation supports a number of projects affiliated with the hospital. The Foundation solicits philanthropic contributions on behalf of the hospital departments and facilities listed above, and engages in activities to benefit the general community as well. Fundraising efforts help to make many valuable services possible, including free or discounted health care services for low-income individuals, targeted services to senior patients, and scholarships to enhance the professional development of Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare staff. Specific examples of how Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare - Elmbrook Memorial Foundation helps meet the needs of the community include: " Cancer Care Fund: provided financial assistance for family and personal expenses to patients undergoing cancer treatment at the hospital. In 2012, the Foundation supported a wide range of items, including: rent assistance; massage therapy vouchers for use at the Pavlic Center, medication, dental support and utility payments. " Jumpstart to A Healthy Lifestyle: A holistic approach to well-being and strengthening the mind-body-spirit connection. Appropriate for all especially those with chronic pain and illness. Scholarships are offered through the Foundation and in 2012, 15 individuals were helped. " HELP Program: In January 2006, Elmbrook Memorial adopted the Hospital Elder Life Program (HELP). This Yale University field-tested program works with normally functioning hospitalized patients over 70-years-old who are at risk of developing delirium, or confusion. Volunteers offer activities that provide relaxation, sensory stimulation, and orientation to time and place. Since its introduction into the Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare system, HELP has decreased the onset of delirium in participating seniors by 50%, resulting in reduced hospital stays (three days, on average) and fewer nursing-home admissions. Wheaton Franciscan - St. Joseph Campus (Southeast Wisconsin) Wheaton Franciscan - St. Joseph Campus traces its roots to 1879, when three Franciscan Sisters arrived on a mission to provide nursing care to the Milwaukee community. By 1882, it became apparent that a hospital was desperately needed in the area. With the help of city leaders, the Sisters raised $30,000 to build a 40-bed facility - christened St. Joseph Hospital. Since that time, the Sisters have overseen the growth of St. Joseph as both business and ministry, ensuring it has continually met the needs of the community according to the principles of their original Mission. From 1993 until 2006, St. Joseph was part of Wheaton Franciscan Services, Inc.'s (WFSI) Milwaukee corporation, Covenant Healthcare System, Inc. With WFSI's reorganization in 2006, the hospital is now part of the System's Southeast Wisconsin region and is known as Wheaton Franciscan- St. Joseph Campus.

| FORM 990 | Schedule O | Wheaton Franciscan - St. Joseph Foundation (Milwaukee, Wisconsin) Wheaton Franciscan - St. Joseph Foundation supports a number of projects affiliated with the hospital. The Foundation solicits philanthropic contributions on behalf of the hospital departments and facilities listed above and engages in activities to benefit the general community as well. Fundraising efforts help to make many valuable services possible, including free or discounted health care services for low-income individuals, targeted services to senior patients, and scholarships to enhance the professional development of Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare staff. Specific examples of how Wheaton Franciscan - St. Joseph Foundation meets the needs of the community include: " Women's Outpatient Center: The Women's Outpatient Center offers care for low-income women and their babies throughout pregnancy, delivery, and early parenting months. Mothers-to-be with no other resources receive top-notch pre- and post- pregnancy care through the center, resulting in improved birth weights and reductions in infant mortality. Additionally, other women receive life-saving gynecological screenings for breast, cervical, and other reproductive system cancers. " Stork's Nest: In cooperation with the March of Dimes, the Stork's Nest program provides incentives, education, and encouragement for low-income, high-risk women to keep prenatal care appointments, a critical factor for helping babies to get a healthy start in life. " Baby Safe Sleep Program: Each year this program provides more than 300 low-income families whose babies are born at St. Joseph with a compact crib to ensure safe sleeping conditions at home. " The Discharge Outpatient Pharmacist Program: This program is used primarily with heart failure patients. Using an outpatient pharmacist who meets with each patient to review their medication prior to discharge, the goal of the program is to improve patients' overall health and well-being, and reduce the rates of readmission for heart problems. " Seeds of Hope: Designed for underprivileged youth, Seeds of Hope has goals of reducing obesity and promoting healthy eating. The program partners with MPS and charter schools to bring third and fourth grade students to the Family Care Center in spring to learn about gardening. The majority of students have never gardened and they learn the value of growing your own vegetables, tending to a garden, and healthy eating. Students return in fall to pick the vegetables they planted, learn how to cook with them, and sample what they made. Not often exposed to produce, our students do not realize they like vegetables which encourages them to try new and healthy food. " Safe Place for Newborns Program: The headquarters of this statewide program was relocated to Wheaton Franciscan - St. Joseph Campus in January 2010. The program, established in 2001 following the enactment of the Safe Haven Law, allows any parent to relinquish a newborn infant up to 72 hours old to any firefighter, police officer, EMT, or hospital staff member. Since 2001, a total of 145 babies have been safely relinquished statewide, and St. Joseph hospital has been a key leader in saving babies with 33 of the infants being relinquished at St. Joseph Campus. Wheaton Franciscan - The Wisconsin Heart Hospital Campus (Wauwatosa, Wisconsin) Wheaton Franciscan - The Wisconsin Heart Hospital Campus is a 60-bed, specialty care cardiovascular hospital. The hospital's unique design offers a critical difference in patient care delivery. Cardiovascular patients in the Emergency Department have immediate access to catheterization rooms just a few steps away. There are no delays from the time the ambulance arrives until artery-opening treatments are performed, which results in a dramatically shortened treatment time. At The Wisconsin Heart Hospital Campus, the average time from when a heart attack patient arrives at a hospital by ambulance until a life-saving, artery-opening procedure can be performed is about half the national average of 90-120 minutes. This savings of time is critical because the sooner the treatment, the less damage to the heart muscle. Wheaton Franciscan-The Wisconsin Heart Hospital Campus's Emergency Department is recognized as a Press Ganey Associates, Inc. 2012 Summit Award winner. To achieve this honor, The Wisconsin Heart Hospital's Emergency Department must sustain at the 95th or above percentile ranking in patient satisfaction for three or more consecutive years. The Wisconsin Heart Hospital is one of 98 organizations to receive this prestigious honor in 2012, and one of 87 to receive it for achieving and sustaining excellence in patient satisfaction. Unlike other hospital environments that require patients to be moved to different beds and units as their progress changes, our patients and their families are located in one room for their entire stay. Our acuity-adaptable model translates into patient rooms that are adaptable to the level of care that is required. In essence, the hospital moves around the patient and the family. Expertise includes: " Diagnostic and interventional cardiac catheterization procedures " Integrated diagnostic and interventional peripheral vascular procedures " Electrophysiology services, including Wisconsin's only Stereotaxis technology " Surgical services, including off pump, robotic, and other minimally invasive procedures " Diagnostic imaging, including coronary and vascular CT angiography " Center for Robotic and Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery " 24/7, full-service emergency department " Cardiac, vascular, and other research studies |
