As discussed herein, Cobb Hospital, Inc (an affiliate of Wellstar Health System, Inc.) operates as a charitable organization consistent with the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) and the "community benefit standard" of IRS Revenue Ruling 69-545. In this regard, the governing body of the organization and/or its parent is composed of prominent citizens in the community, medical staff privileges in the hospital are available to all qualified physicians in the area consistent with the size and nature of the facility; the hospital operates a full-time emergency room open to all regardless of ability to pay; the hospital provides care to the needy members of the community consistent with its charity care policy regardless of their ability to pay for these services. The hospital's excess funds are generally applied to expansion and replacement of existing facilities and equipment, amortization of indebtedness, improvement of patient care, community benefits activity, and charity care. Cobb Hospital reinvested a total of approximately $13.0 million in capital expenditures for equipment upgrades and other capital improvements to better serve the community. Cobb Hospital was organized in 1984. The hospital affiliated with the Northwest Georgia Health System in 1993. In 1994, Northwest Georgia Health System helped form the PROMINA Health System and changed its name to Promina Northwest Health System. In 1998 Promina Northwest changed its name to Wellstar Health System and is now totally independent of Promina. Cobb Hospital is subordinate to, and subject to the authority of Wellstar Health System and its governing boards including the Hospital Authority of Cobb County. Cobb Hospital provides a full range of inpatient and outpatient services characteristic of a community hospital. The hospital is licensed to operate 382 beds and is presently staffed to operate 370 beds. The original hospital was constucted in 1968 and several major structural additions have happened since that time. The following stats constitute the overall program services provided during the reporting period ended June 30, 2013: Adult Discharges-19,523 Med/Surg Short Stay days-5,526 Emergency Room Visits (incl pediatric ER)-105,234 Outpatient Surgical Cases-7,163 Inpatient Surgical Cases-3,899 Outpatient Procedures Non-ED OP Radiology-54,351 GI Laboratory-1,528 Total FTEs (paid)-1,932 Community Benefit Reporting Community Outreach-$1,019,877 Unreimbursed Charity Care (at cost)-$25,599,335 Medicaid Shortfalls (at cost)-$8,093,370 Total-$33,692,705 As an affiliate of Wellstar Health System, Cobb Hospital participates in many community and educational programs for the overall health and benefit of the area that they serve. Some examples of those programs are: Community Health/Education--screenings and educational opportunities such as denfensive driving for teens (offered at a minimal cost or at no cost), smoking cessation, heart smart school, CPR and others. System-wide over 54,000 residents from the community participated in these various screenings. More than 65,000 students learned about important health topics through our elementary and adolescent school health programs. The Public Relations department notifies the public of these offerings by publishing a quarterly mailer to community residents which costs the system over $80,000. Community Activities--sponsors blood drives, provides funding to school health programs for medical and dental preventive care. Community Events--Wellstar has an annual day for the Latino community geared at screenings and educational activities on a variety of health issues specifically for the Hispanic community. Sponsorships A group of employees also participated in the annual "Relay for Life" an event to raise funds and awareness for cancer research and prevention (held in conjunction with the American Cancer Society). System-wide a total of $22,000 was raised to support cancer research, education and patient services. Efforts are planned to expand this support in the coming years. Recognition and Accomplishments Cobb Hospital and Kennestone Hospital operate full-service clinics on the respective campuses to provide health related services to uninsured and underinsured who might not otherwise receive care. In FY2013 the clinics served a combined 8,000 patient visitors at a cost of almost $2.8 million. A clinic for senior wellness also opened in Cobb County. WellStar Cobb Hospital is ranked in the US News and World Report's Best Hospitals in Atlanta. The hospital was ranked as ninth in Atlanta and 15th in the state of Georgia in this annual report. Only nine hospitals were chosen from Atlanta's 60 institutions WellStar Cobb and Kennestone Hospitals received the United Total Joint Replacement Specialty Center Designation in recognition of the quality care in their repective units. Both hospitals received three-star ratings which is the highest possible. The hospitals met extensive quality and outcomes criteria based on nationally recognized medical standards and expert advice. In addition the total hip and knee joint replacement programs are certified by the Joint Commission. In October 2012 WellStar completed the systemwide implementation of a new cleaning process called Xenex. The process use ultraviolet light technology/machines to decontaminate rooms in five to 12 minutes. This includes patient rooms, emergency departments, public restrooms, supply rooms and nursing stations. Independent studies and lab samples have shown that the system is 20 times more effective than regular cleaning protocols for eliminating bacteria and many other organisms. All hospitals have a least one machine in operation. WellStar Cobb Hospital received four Joint Commission Disease-Specific Certifications (some mentioned previously). The hospital was recertified for hip replacement, knee replacement and primary stroke and received an initial certification for spinal surgery. The hospital has to demonstrate compliance with consensus-based national standards, effective use of appropriate, evidence-based clinical practice guidelines and collection and analysis of a minimum of four performance measures specific to the specialty care provided. WellStar Cobb expanded the innovative STAT Cancer Clinic concept that previously was only available at Kennestone Hospital. In this clinic patients see all members of the treatment and support team in one place and in one afternoon for an initial diagnosis. These clinics are the only true multidisciplinary services of their kind in metro Atlanta. With specialists in thoracic surgery, pulmonary, medical and radiation oncology the patient is guided through a treatment protocol that happens in days, not weeks or months. WellStar Cobb Hospital experienced such great success with the daVinci Surgical system that it was able to add a second system during the reporting period. The state of the art minimally invasive technology is used by gynecologic, urologic, thoracic, colorectal and general surgeons. The surgeons are able to work through smaller incisions, less pain for the patient, and faster recoveries with this technology. The Partnership for Health and Accountability of the Georgia Hospital Association presented two of its prestigious Quality and Patient Safety Awards to WellStar Cobb Hospital. One award relates to the timely and appropriate administration of antibiotics and the second relates to re-engineering discharge. Cobb Hospital also was presented with the Circle of Excellence Award for hospitals that demonstrate a sustained commitment to quality and safety having won multiple awards over the previous five years. To better serve behavioral health patients who visit WellStar Douglas Hospital's Emergency Department, the system began using an innovative technology to offer telemedicine. The technology is provided in a partnership with TeleHealth and allow psychiatrists at WellStar Cobb Hospital to securely and conveniently evaluate Douglas patients and expedite their discharge. With the success of the pilot program the system plans to expand to Paulding Hospital, which, like Douglas Hospital does not have on-site psychiatrists. WellStar Kennestone Hospital launched an initiative called Best In Georgia (BIG) with a goal to improve patient safety and well-being across the system. A multidisciplinary team of physicians and other team members meets on a monthly basis to elevate performance measures at the hospital. As many consumers research healthcare performance measures in sources such as Health Grades, and US News and World Report it is important to focus on raising the hospitals position in the public. Cobb, Douglas, Paulding and Windy Hill hospitals have also joined in this initiative. Cobb Hospital has instituted an inpatient medical stablization service called New Vision. This service for adults with drug, alcohol and related health issues is a medically supervised, three-day hospital stay which

Identifier Return Reference Explanation
Uncertain Tax Position SCHEDULE D PART X Line 2 The following is a footnote from the combined financial statements of Wellstar Health System, Inc. and Affiliates related to the reporting of the organization's liability for uncertain tax positions under FIN 48. "Wellstar and all but one of its affiliates have been recognized as exempt from Federal income tax under Internal Revenue Code Section 501 (a) as organizations described in Section 501 (c) (3) and therefore, related income is generally not subject to Federal or state income tax. Community Assurance Corportion is a controlled foreign corporation not subject to Federal tax. Wellstar applies FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, which addresses accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions. It also provides guidance on when tax positions are recognized in an entity's financial statements and how the values of these positions are determined. There is no impact on Wellstar's combined financial statements as a result of the application of ASC 740."

Identifier ReturnReference Explanation
Publication of Community Benefit Report Sch H Part I Line 6a Cobb Hospital, Inc. is an affiliate of Wellstar Health System, Inc. which on an annual basis issues a community benefit report. This report is subsequently distributed in and around the five county service area of the health system.
Cost to Charge Ratio Sch H Part I Line 7 For purposes of the IRS Form 990 Schedule H, Wellstar Health System and Affiliates (including Cobb Hospital) have estimated the current year cost to charge ratio for each hospital as it is reported in the annual community benefit report and as it will be reported in the state's Annual Hospital Financial Survey.
Footnote on Bad Debt and Rationale for Community Benefit Sch H Part III Line 4 The following footnote is detailed in the Wellstar Health System, Inc. and Affiliates Financial Statements related to bad debt or uncollectible accounts: "During 2011, Wellstar adopted the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Update (2011-07), Healthcare Entities (Topic 954). ASU 2011-07 requires the reclassification of the provision for uncollectible accounts associated with patient service revenue from an operating expense to a deduction from patient service revenue (net of contractual allowances and discounts)." "Wellstar recognizes patient service revenue associated with services provided to patients with third-party payor coverage on the basis of contractual rates for the services rendered. For uninsured patients that do not qualify for community financial aid, Wellstar recognizes revenue on the basis of its discounted rates for services provided. On the basis of historical experience, a significant portion of Wellstar's uninsured patients are unable or unwilling to pay for the services provided. Thus, Wellstar records a significant provision for uncollectible accounts related to uninsured patients in the period the services are provided." Subsequent to the end of the reporting period a propensity to pay review of patient accounts often results in prior year bad debt accounts which are deemed eligible for the organization's financial assistance policy. Those bad debt accounts are reclassified as charity and thus our rationale for including in community benefit.
Medicare Shortfalls Schedule H Part III Line 8 Cobb Hospital is a provider of inpatient and outpatient services to Medicare program beneficiaries at determined rates. Without the participation in the Medicare program these patients may not have had convenient access to those services. The Medicare shortfall on line 7 represents the uncompensated difference between the expected reimbursement and the Medicare charges for those services stated at cost. We determine a cost to charge ratio for Medicare patients as part of the annual filing of the Medicare cost report.
Collection Practices Schedule H Part III Sec C Line 9b The policy written for collection practices that applies to all Wellstar Health System entities incorporates guidelines for personnel in the admissions and patient access areas to be trained in identifying patients that might qualify for financial assistance. It is also the policy of all Wellstar facilities to have at least one employee or contractor available at all times, especially in the hospitals with emergency rooms, who can provide assistance with the paperwork necessary to help patients who would qualify for governmental and other assistance programs.
Hospital Description Schedule H Part V Cobb Hospital is a general acute care hospital providing a full range of services, is licensed to operate 382 beds, and is presently staffed to operate 370 beds. It is located on an approximately 55-acre campus in Austell, Georgia and is housed within a complex of connected buildings containing a total square footage in excess of 599,000 square feet. The original hospital was constructed in 1968 and major structural additions have been made in several phases since that time. The hospital provides medical, surgical, obstetrical, pediatric, rehabilitative, and psychiatric inpatient care and outpatient care, including emergency services. The Cobb Hospital Women's Center operates 20 labor and delivery rooms, 40 post partum rooms, 6 antipartum rooms and a resource center and classrooms offering educational opportunities.
Needs Assessment Schedule H Part VI Line 2 Wellstar Health System (and affiliates) is a key stakeholder in MAPP, Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships. MAPP, developed by the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) in collaboration with the CDC, provides a structured guidance on creating and implementing a community-wide strategic planning process focused on improving the health and safety of our population. Through MAPP, a broad collection of community partners and residents come together to identify and prioritize health and safety issues and to identify resources for addressing them. The process results in an actionable community health improvement plan (CHIP) for measurable improvements in the community's health and quality of life as well as a scorecard for implementation and evaluation. The resulting community plan does not focus on one agency or community health challenge; rather, MAPP provides a long-term strategy that addresses the multiple factors that affect health in the community. Community involvement throughout the creation and the implementation of a health improvement plan results in creative solutions to community health problems with an improved focus on priorities, reduced duplication of services, increased collaboration on projects and activities, and increased capacity to garner additional resources. Moreover, continous community involvement leads to community ownership of the process. Community ownership, in turn, increases the credibility and sustainability of the health improvement efforts.
Patient Education of Eligibility for Assistance Sch H Part VI Line 3 Cobb Hospital provides its patients with hospital personnel or contracted personnel who are trained in all aspects of governmental programs, payments plans, charity discounts, and other financial assistance offered to assist them in their hospital bills. If the patient is eligible for federal or state assistance programs, a staff member is knowledgeable in the steps necessary to qualify those individuals. If a patient is indigent or charity eligible they will be offered assistance through the hospital's charity and indigent care policy including the state's indigent care trust fund. If the patient has no other insurance and fails to qualify for indigent care assistance, the financial counselor can then offer the patient an opportunity to accept a payment plan with discounted payment options based on their ability to pay immediately or over time. All patient are afforded these opportunities.
Community Information Sch H Part VI Line 4 Cobb Hospital is one of five hospitals that are affiliated with the parent corporation, Wellstar Health System. The primary service area of the system is located in the Northwest Georgia area and receives the majority of its patients from one of five counties (Cherokee, Cobb, Douglas, Bartow and Paulding). Generally about 85% to 90% of the patient volume comes from this service area although other health systems have a presence in the area as well. Demographically the region is one of the fastest growing in the state as well as the country and the expansion of the services for the patient population reflects a desire to offer healthcare "closer to home" since Wellstar is considered a part of a larger metropolitan Atlanta market. Economically the region is strong in per capita income but given recent trends a rise in the uninsured and indigent population has occured.
Promotion of Community Health Schedule H Part VI Line 5 As stated in the Wellstar Health System, Inc and Affiliates audited financial statments for the period ended June 30, 2013, Cobb Hospital (an affiliate of Wellstar Health System, Inc.) operates as a charitable organization consistent with the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Sect 501 (c) (3) and the "community benefit standard" of IRS Ruling 69-545. In this regard the governing body of the organization and/or its parent is composed of prominent citizens in the community, medical staff privileges in the hospital are available to all qualifed physicians in the area consistent with the size and nature of the facility; the hospital operates a full-time emergency room open to all regardless of ability to pay; and the hospital provides care to the needy members of the community consistent with its charity care policy. The hospital's excess funds are genrally applied to expansion and replacement of existing facilities and equipment, amortization of indebtedness, improvement fo patient care, community benefit activities, and charity care. Cobb Hospital committed approximately $13.3 million in capital expenditures for the year to meet those needs.
Publication of Fin Assistance Policy Sch H Part V Line 13g In addition to the other methods of posting the financial assistance policy, the hospital makes available for patients in admissions and outpatient registration areas a brochure including frequently asked questions.
Other Info for Community Health Needs Assessment Part V Section B Line 1j The Community Health Needs Assessment also provides a list of WellStar Health System CHNA collaborators including individuals, organizations and governmental agencies consulted that contributed special knowledge of medically underserved and low income populations and/or expertise in public health.
CHNA Input from Community Sources Part V Section B Line 3 WellStar Cobb Hospital integrated multiple sources of data from national and state web-based data platforms with multiple primary data gathering methods (see list below). As a partner in the strategic planning process utilized by Cobb & Douglas Public Health (CDPH) called Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partners (MAPP) from the National Association of County and City Health Officials, the hospital leveraged the findings from community health needs assessments conducted for Tax Year 2012. Through a grant by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, WellStar Cobb Hospital partnered with CDPH and formed a coalition, Cobb 2020, to conduct its needs assessment via multiple modalities: MAPP workgroups, focus groups, surveys, key informant interviews, and implementation teams to act upon identified strategic issues in the community. To collect robust data for counties WellStar serves outside of Cobb, WellStar enlisted expertise of county and regional public health officials, independent consultants, and other key informants. A listing of collaborators can be found in the Appendix of the hospital facility's CHNA report publicly available at wellstar.org. Quantitative Data Sources Include: 1. Georgia Department of Public Health, OASIS 2. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-National Vital Stats 3. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) 4. US Census Bureau 5. US Department of Health and Human Services 6. Kaiser Permanente Web-Based CHNA Platform 7. Catholic Health Association CHNA resources 8. County Health Rankings and Roadmaps (Univ of Wisconsin) 9. Healthy People 2020 10.Behavorial Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) 11.Internal data showing service area zip codes for admission Qualitative Data Sources Include: 1. Cobb County Focus Group Report (based on various demographic groups of the zip codes represented) This includes two groups conducted in Spanish and reflecting low-income, low education attainment and medically underserved populations. 2. MAPP Assessment Workgroups with representatives from Douglas and Cobb counties conducted four community assessments which helped develop the Cobb 2020 Community Health Improvement Plan. This included the 2011 Field Test Local Public Health System Assessment. 3. Cobb key informant interview report--this included 20 participants identified by Cobb 2020's Community Strengths and Themes Workgroup to represent different sectors of the community who possessed above average knowledge of the healthcare issues, healthcare system or the community. 4. Cobb MAPP Community Survey Report--44 question telephone surveys of 1,233 adults 18-94 performed by the A.L. Burruss Institute for Public Service and Research at Kennesaw State University (university in the community served by the hospital) 5. Cobb County 2010 --"How Healthy Are We?" 6. Cobb County MAPP Forces of Change Assessment Summary Report 7. Bartow, Cherokee and Paulding County Key Informant interviews of community stakeholders led by Ron Chapman, Principal, Magnetic North, LLC, a third-party consultant.
Facility Community Needs Assessment Part V Section B Line 4 While WellStar Cobb Hospital conducts its own community health needs assessment there may be some overlap with other hospitals in the healthcare system simply because of the geographic constraints and structure of the organization. The community served therefore will have common boundaries.
Explanation of Unaddressed Needs Part V Section B Line 7 Selection criteria for WellStar Cobb Hospital's prioritized health needs were primarily based upon the bandwidth to build a sustainable community benefit model focused on preventable health behaviors and access to care. Sexually transmitted infections and teen pregnancy are not addressed leaving awareness education with the local school system, family and churches since the health needs are more cultural and societal. Improvement to health needs stemming from socioeconomic and physical environmental such as air quality and transportation, gain traction from public policy and education. A health system can complement efforts to impact policy, but has to rely on public health, state and local municipalities and federal governemental agencies to drive these types of health improvements. Key questions when addressing health needs are, do we have existing facilities and resources dedicated to the health needs showing clear disparities and poor performance? And do we have effective and feasible interventions, a successful solution that has the potential to solve multiple problems, and the opportunity to intervene at the prevention level? WellStar Health System will continue to address these and other questions.
Affiliated Health Care System Part VI Line 6 WellStar Health System, Inc., as the parent corporation, and Cobb Hospital, Douglas Hospital, Kennestone Hospital, Paulding Medical Center and Windy Hill Hospital provide a variety of health care and related services to the community. In addition a nursing home, two residential hospice facilities, an assisted living facility and a group of mulitiple physicians provide a full continuum of care to the area we serve.

990 T Explanation of Filing Form 990 Part V Line 3 Cobb Hospital generated no unrelated business income for the reporting period. As a result the attached 990T shows no activity. If subsequent review of the books reveals any unreported UBI we will file an amended return for the tax period ended June 30, 2013.
Form 990 Copy to Board of Directors Form 990 Part VI Line 11A Internal staff prepare the organization's Form 990. Before filing the return with the Internal Revenue Service an external accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers, reviews and sign-offs on the completed return. The current year Form 990 is then reviewed by the Finance Committee along with a question and answer session. A motion is then made by the Finance committee to approve the returns and present to the full board copies of the forms in an electronic (pdf. format) version as well as a hard copy. The organization's CFO or designee subsequently signs the return for either manual or electronic filing by the appropriate due date.
Conflict of Interest Policy Form 990 Part VI Section B Line 12 a-c Our conflict of interest policy requires all covered persons to annually review the policy and then complete, sign and return the Conflicts of Interest Survey and Attestation to the Compliance Office. The policy requires an on-going disclosure obligation in the event a conflict arises during the year. The following is our process to regularly and consistently monitor and enforce this policy: Compliance identifies all covered persons who must complete the survey and attestation. Compliance verifies that the survey and attestation is distributed to these persons. Compliance verifies that these persons return a fully completed and signed survey and attestation. Compliance reviews each completed and signed survey and attestation to identify all conflicts listed in the document. All conflicts, potential conflicts and incidences of non-compliance are referred to the Chief Compliance Officer. The CCO takes appropriate action to completely resolve all identified conflicts and incidences of non-compliance.
Process for determining Exec Compensation Form 990 Part VI Section B Line 15A & B Wellstar engages the Hay Group to work with the governing board to review and recommend executive compensation. The executive compensation process at Wellstar is overseen by a committee of independent trustees, which follows a board-approved executive compensation philosophy. The compensation committee consists of five board members and the CEO for the system. In discussions about the compensation for the Chief Executive Officer, the acting CEO will recuse himself from that process but is a non-voting committee member for discussions on all other officers. The executive compensation philosophy empowers the committee to oversee the executive compensation process and administer the executive compensation program on behalf of the full board of trustee of Wellstar; provided, however, the full Board of Trustees evaluates and approves the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer. The philosophy requires annual disclosure of the committee's actions and decisions to the full board, which it has done. The committee is guided by the board-approved philosophy. Overall, the philosophy is intended to reward for organizational and individual performance. When performance is at a predetermined targeted level, the compensation is intended to be at or around the median of compensation paid to similar positions at similar organizations (the "market"). Wellstar's executive compensation philosophy defines the market as being comprised of comparable not-for-profit health care delivery systems, i.e., not-for-profit organizations similar in complexity and scale to Wellstar. To assist the committee in fulfilling its duties, the committee engaged the Hay Group to provide market compensation data to compare to the Wellstar positions whose compensation the committee oversees. The committee uses this data to provide context when making decisions in administering the compensation program. Accurate minutes of the committee's discussion and decisions are recorded during each committee meeting, and reviewed and approved at the following committee meeting.
DISCLOSURE OF FINANCIAL DOCUMENTS Form 990 Part VI Section C Line 19 The organization and its subsidiaries are subject to the Open Records Law in the State of Georgia. Therefore, by law, citizens are permitted to inspect and copy its governing documents, policies and financial statements as may be requested from time to time. Additionally, the organization's Form 990 is made readily available on the Guidestar website. Periodically, the organization publishes its financial performance in the local newspaper for citizens to review, and it also publishes a community benefit report once a year for distribution to the public.
Compensation Form 990 Part V Line 2 All compensation amounts reported on Form 990 Part V, Part VII, and Part IX as well as Schedule J represent compensation provided to individuals that provide services to the organization. Likewise, the number of employees reported on Form 990 represent the number of individuals providing services to the organization. All Federal employment tax responsibilities for these individuals (including Federal Employment Tax reporting responsibilities) are handled by Wellstar Health System, Inc (EIN 58-1649541).
Organizational Structure Form 990 Part VI Line 6 & 7 As per the articles of Incorporation, the sole member of the organization is Wellstar Health System, Inc., a GA nonprofit corporation. As sole member, Wellstar Health System holds certain powers of election and approval in connection with the governing body of the organization. These powers are presented in detail in the company's governing documents which the company makes available to the public upon request.
Officer's Hours Form 990 General Statement The officers devote their time to all of the organizations within Wellstar Health System that are listed in Schedule R, Part II. As such, the total hours worked by the officers across all of the organizations exceeds 40 hours per week.
AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Form 990 Part IV Line 12 and Part XI WellStar Health System, Inc. is audited on an annual basis by an outside auditing firm, KPMG, and as part of that audit a consolidated financial statement is issued for all of WellStar Health System, Inc and its Affiliates. "The independent auditors report includes the accounts of Wellstar and its controlled affiliates, Kennestone Hospital, Inc., Cobb Hospital, Inc., Douglas Hospital, Inc., Paulding Medical Center, Inc., Wellstar Foundation, Inc. CHS Foundation, Inc., Community Assurance Company, Ltd., various Wellstar owned physician practices, a hospice facility, a nursing facility, home health business, and entities for infusion therapy and durable medical equipment. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in combination. The Board of Trustees of Wellstar has the authority to approve appointments of the members of the board of trustees of all affiliate corporations."
Tax-Exempt Bonds Allocation Form 990 Part IV Line 24a & Part X For purposes of the Form 990 reporting, Wellstar Health System, Inc EIN 58-1649541 will list all tax-exempt bonds issued since January 1, 2003 on Schedule K as it typically allocates the proceeds of the bonds to members of the Obligated Group (including the hospitals and physician group). Cobb Hospital, Inc. will report this tax exempt bond liability on Part X, Line 25 Other Liabilities.
Other Changes in Net Assets Form 990 Part XI Line 5 For the reporting period Cobb Hospital, Inc. had a change in net assets of ($9,184,057) related to transfers to affiliates as part of the allocation of income statement and balance sheet transactions over the year.
Bylaws Amendments Part VI Line 4 During the reporting period the Board of Trustees voted to amend the bylaws for WellStar Health System, Inc. to add an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee as additional named board committees with authority to act on behalf of the governing body.
