| PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | --------------------------------- CHC has been determined to be a publicly supported organization described in Section 509(a)(2) of the Code and a charitable organization as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code and is exempt from federal income taxation by virtue of Sections 501(a) and 501(c)(3) of the Code. CHC is a holding company for a total of eleven for-profit and nonprofit corporations and partnerships (collectively, the "Affiliates") engaged in various aspects of the healthcare industry. CHC has established various divisions for its operations, including (1) Bowling Green Warren County Community Hospital ("The Medical Center"), (2) Commonwealth Health Free Clinic, Inc., (3) The Medical Center at Franklin, Inc., (4) Commonwealth Regional Specialty Hospital, Inc., and (5) various for-profit corporations and partnerships. The Medical Center - Bowling Green Campus Bowling Green Warren County Community Hospital's Bowling Green Facility is a general acute care hospital licensed for 337 beds. In 1980, the Bowling Green Facility moved into a new, six-story, state-of-the-art facility, occupying 298,000 square feet on a 17-acre campus. Since 1980, because of an expanding demand for outpatient services, several additions to the Bowling Green Facility have been made and both clinical and patient areas have been renovated and modernized. The Medical Center - Scottsville Facility To more fully serve the health needs of south central Kentucky, The Medical Center merged in October 1996 with an affiliated entity, Health Endowment Properties A-C, Inc., a Kentucky non-stock, nonprofit corporation, which owned and operated The Medical Center at Scottsville (the "Scottsville Facility"). The Scottsville Facility is comprised of a 25-bed critical access hospital and 110 nursing care beds. These beds are located in a 76,000 square foot building opened in 1996 on approximately 13 acres of land in Allen County, near Scottsville, Kentucky. In addition, CHC endorsed the establishment of Commonwealth Health Foundation ("The Foundation") for the purpose of fostering, supporting and initiating activities for the advancement of the health care objectives of CHC and The Medical Center and/or affiliated non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations. The chairman of CHC's board of directors, CHC's president and CEO, and the chief financial officer of The Medical Center serve as ex officio directors of the foundation. They all three are counted for quorum purposes and have the rights and privileges of other directors including the right to vote on all matters properly before the Board. Commonwealth Health Free Clinic, Inc. ("CHFC") was organized to operate a clinic, which provides basic medical and dental diagnostic and treatment services for charitable purposes for the "working poor" of South-central Kentucky. The "working poor" are those individuals who have done their best to stay in the work force but do not have insurance or any form of social assistance and do not have the means to pay for their healthcare. CHFC offers services including: non-emergency clinical services, dentistry, senior citizen's pharmaceutical program, community health education and counseling, disease/condition specific education and counseling. In addition, the dental program has been expanded to include individuals with income at or below 225% of Federal Poverty Guidelines. Commonwealth Regional Specialty Hospital is a long-term acute care hospital that operates as a hospital within a hospital by leasing 28 beds from The Medical Center on The Medical Center's Bowling Green campus. It is an acute care hospital for those patients requiring an extended hospital stay (anticipated length of stay between 18-35 days) and generally having complex or chronic medical conditions. The Medical Center at Franklin, Inc. ("MCF") operates a hospital in the community of Franklin, Simpson County, Kentucky. This location is just 20 miles from The Medical Center's Bowling Green campus. MCF is a Medicare designated critical access hospital offering acute care inpatient and outpatient programs in its 25 bed acute care facility. CHC's for-profit activities include Urgentcare of Bowling Green, Inc. ("Urgentcare"), Hillcrest Credit Agency, Commonwealth Financial Resources and CenterCare Health Benefit Programs. Urgentcare is a wholly-owned corporation which serves as a 50% owner in a primary care center. CHC owns and operates several physician practices employing general practitioners, cardiac surgeons, vascular surgeons, neurologists, obstetric/gynecologists, and psychiatrists. In addition, CHC operates and provides various corporate support services including patient billing, collections, accounting, materials management, engineering, security, human resources, information systems, and administrative support. CHC has acquired the physician practices in order to attract and retain highly skilled physicians in specialties that support the mission of CHC and its affiliates. Since 1990, CHC's wholly-owned Centercare Health Benefits Program ("Centercare"), a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO), has assisted employers in managing the rising cost of their healthcare. The PPO offers employer groups in this region a comprehensive network of physicians and facilities with greater cost savings potential than other national organizations. Today, Centercare services over 105,000 members by providing access to over 12,000 providers and 150+ hospitals in Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois. | |
