Return Reference Explanation
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS SENTARA HEALTHCARE I.YOUR NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTH PARTNER FOR 125 YEARS, SENTARA HAS BEEN COMMITTED TO HELPING PEOPLE JUST LIKE YOU, PEOPLE WHO WANT THE MOST DEDICATED MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS HELPING THEM THROUGH EVERY STAGE OF LIFE. TO PROVIDE A RANGE OF QUALITY CARE, WE HAVE GROWN SLOWLY THROUGHOUT VIRGINIA AND NORTH CAROLINA. WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO INDUSTRY LEADERS AND JOINED FORCES, AND WE NOW OPERATE MORE THAN 100 SITES OF CARE, INCLUDING 12 ACUTE CARE HOSPITALS - SEVEN IN HAMPTON ROADS, ONE IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA, TWO IN THE BLUE RIDGE REGION OF VIRGINIA, ONE IN SOUTHERN VIRGINIA AND ONE IN NORTH CAROLINA. FOR MORE THAN A DECADE, MODERN HEALTHCARE MAGAZINE HAS RANKED US AS ONE OF THE NATION'S TOP INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS. OUR NOT-FOR-PROFIT SYSTEM PROUDLY INCLUDES ADVANCED IMAGING CENTERS, NURSING AND ASSISTED-LIVING CENTERS, OUTPATIENT CAMPUSES, PHYSICAL THERAPY AND REHABILITATION SERVICES, HOME HEALTH AND HOSPICE AGENCY, A 3,800-PROVIDER MEDICAL STAFF, AND FOUR MEDICAL GROUPS. IN ADDITION, WE PROVIDE MEDICAL TRANSPORT AMBULANCES AND NIGHTINGALE AIR AMBULANCE, AND EXTEND HEALTH INSURANCE TO 440,000 PEOPLE THROUGH OPTIMA HEALTH, OUR AWARD-WINNING HEALTH PLAN. AMONG OUR MANY STRENGTHS, WE ARE A NATIONAL LEADER IN HEART AND KIDNEY CARE, STROKE CARE, AND INFECTION PREVENTION, AND WE WERE THE FIRST IN THE NATION TO PIONEER AND DEVELOP THE EICU, A REMOTE MONITORING SYSTEM FOR INTENSIVE CARE. OUR DEDICATION TO IMPROVING AND INCREASING MEDICAL OPTIONS FOR OUR PATIENTS IS REINFORCED BY OUR ONGOING PARTICIPATION IN NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH. THESE VITAL MEDICAL TRIALS HELP US ADVANCE TOWARD OUR MISSION OF IMPROVING HEALTH EVERY DAY. IN NOVEMBER 2013, WE PROUDLY CELEBRATED 125 YEARS OF DELIVERING COMPASSIONATE AND QUALITY CARE. WHEN WE BEGAN AS THE RETREAT FOR THE SICK IN 1888 IN NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, MEDICAL PROVIDERS DEDICATED THEMSELVES TO CARING FOR NORFOLK'S POOR, FOCUSED ON MEETING THEIR IMMEDIATE HEALTHCARE NEEDS. AS NOTED ABOVE AND DETAILED IN THIS REPORT, WE HAVE GROWN INTO A MULTI-STATE, INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE SYSTEM COMMITTED TO STILL DELIVERING THAT SAME COMPASSIONATE AND QUALITY CARE AND REACHING FAR BEYOND THE PATIENTS WHO COME DIRECTLY TO US. WE STRIVE TO SERVE EVERYONE IN OUR COMMUNITIES THROUGH HEALTH OUTREACH PROGRAMS, EDUCATION AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF OTHER NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS. II.GROWING THE SENTARA FAMILY SINCE THE BEGINNING, SENTARA HAS REACHED OUT TO NEARBY INDUSTRY LEADERS AND JOINED FORCES TO EXTEND HEALTHCARE TO MORE PEOPLE. IN RECENT YEARS, WE HAVE GROWN IN VIRGINIA AND NORTH CAROLINA BY SEEKING PARTNERSHIPS WITH LONG-ESTABLISHED AND SUCCESSFUL HOSPITALS AND HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS WHO SHARE OUR DEDICATION TO EXCELLENCE AND VALUE. SOME OF OUR MOST RECENT ADDITIONS INCLUDE: A. HALIFAX REGIONAL HOSPITAL IN THE FALL OF 2012, HALIFAX REGIONAL HOSPITAL SIGNED A LETTER OF INTENT TO AFFILIATE WITH SENTARA HEALTHCARE. IT IS AN INTEGRATED SYSTEM INCLUDING A 192-BED HOSPITAL, THREE LONG-TERM CARE FACILITIES, A HOME CARE AND HOSPICE FACILITY, AND A BROAD RANGE OF SPECIALTIES AND OUTPATIENT SERVICES ACROSS THE SOUTH BOSTON REGION, ABOUT 165 MILES WEST OF NORFOLK. THE MERGER WAS COMPLETED JULY 1, 2013, WHICH ALSO MARKED HALIFAX'S 60TH ANNIVERSARY SERVING THE SOUTH BOSTON COMMUNITY. THE SYSTEM'S EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE SERVING RURAL COMMUNITIES MAKES IT PARTICULARLY VALUABLE TO LOCALS AND COMPLEMENTS SENTARA'S COMMITMENT TO PERSONALIZED HEALTHCARE IT IS NOW THE 11TH OF 12 HOSPITALS IN SENTARA'S NOT-FOR-PROFIT INTEGRATED HEALTH SYSTEM. B. SENTARA ALBEMARLE HOSPITAL, MEDICAL GROUP AND RELATED FACILITIES SENTARA HEALTHCARE AND ALBEMARLE HEALTH OF NORTHEASTERN NORTH CAROLINA BEGAN A PARTNERSHIP MARCH 1, 2014, AFTER APPROVAL BY THE PASQUOTANK COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS AND THE ALBEMARLE HOSPITAL AUTHORITY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS AND THEIR TWO-YEAR PROCESS OF EVALUATING POTENTIAL PARTNERS. ALL FOUR ENTITIES SHARE THE GOALS OF IMPROVING THE COMMUNITY'S ACCESS TO PRIMARY CARE, MANAGING CHRONIC DISEASE AND IMPROVING SERVICES AND PROGRAMS IN THE REGION. LOCATED IN ELIZABETH CITY, SENTARA ALBEMARLE MEDICAL CENTER IS A 182 LICENSED BED, FULL-SERVICE FACILITY OFFERING A WIDE RANGE OF SERVICES, INCLUDING: INPATIENT AND CRITICAL CARE, A FULL ARRAY OF SURGICAL SERVICES, SOPHISTICATED DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING TECHNOLOGY, COMPREHENSIVE WOMEN'S CARE, CARDIOLOGY, CANCER TREATMENT, REHABILITATION SERVICES AND MORE. SENTARA ALBEMARLE MEDICAL CENTER HAS ASSEMBLED A MEDICAL STAFF OF MORE THAN 100 PHYSICIANS, REPRESENTING NEARLY 30 SPECIALTIES, AND A CARING STAFF OF ALMOST 1,000 EMPLOYEES. IT IS NUMBER 12 OF OUR 12 HOSPITALS. ALBEMARLE PHYSICIAN SERVICES SENTARA BRINGS TOGETHER A DEDICATED TEAM OF PRIMARY CARE AND SPECIALTY PHYSICIANS TO CARE FOR PATIENTS ACROSS NORTHEASTERN NORTH CAROLINA. ALL OF THE FACILITIES ADOPTED THE SENTARA NAME IN MAY 2014. III.CONSTANTLY LOOKING AHEAD TO BEST SERVE OUR COMMUNITIES AND PROVIDE THE MOST PATIENT-FOCUSED, COST-EFFECTIVE HEALTHCARE POSSIBLE, WE SEEK TO EXPAND AND ENHANCE OUR SERVICES IN A VARIETY OF WAYS. WE STRIVE TO BE THE FIRST IN OUR COMMUNITIES TO OFFER NEW, YET PROVEN, MEDICAL PROCEDURES, AND WE REACH OUT TO NEW COMMUNITIES TO OFFER SERVICES WE HAVE PROUDLY AND SUCCESSFULLY OFFERED IN OTHER REGIONS. WE ALSO LEAD AND PARTICIPATE IN RESEARCH EFFORTS TO IDENTIFY AND TEST FUTURE TREATMENTS AND BEST PRACTICES. SOME OF THE WAYS WE HAVE DONE THIS RECENTLY INCLUDE: A.OFFERING NEW PROCEDURES AND TECHNOLOGY SENTARA PHYSICIANS LEAD THE WAY BY OFFERING LIFE-SAVING PROCEDURES PREVIOUSLY NOT AVAILABLE OR NOT READILY AVAILABLE. BY DOING SO, THEY GIVE RESIDENTS THE COMFORT AND COST-SAVINGS OF BEING CLOSE TO HOME WHILE IMPROVING THEIR HEALTH. IN 2013, SENTARA ADDED 3D MAMMOGRAPHY, A BREAKTHROUGH TECHNOLOGY FOR DETECTING EARLY BREAST CANCER, AT EIGHT BREAST IMAGING LOCATIONS FROM WILLIAMSBURG TO VIRGINIA BEACH. THIS ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY CREATES 3D BREAST RECONSTRUCTIONS SO RADIOLOGISTS CAN VIEW BREASTS IN THIN LAYERS AND SEE EARLY CANCERS THAT WOULD NOT BE VISIBLE USING OTHER MAMMOGRAPHY. IN 2012, SENTARA WILLIAMSBURG REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER STARTED A NEW TREATMENT FOR SEVERE ASTHMA CALLED BRONCHIAL THERMOPLASTY. THIS MINIMALLY INVASIVE OUTPATIENT PROCEDURE USES A BRONCHOSCOPE TO DELIVER THERMAL ENERGY TO THE LUNGS OF PATIENTS WITH ASTHMA TO DECREASE THE AMOUNT OF SMOOTH MUSCLE IN THE LUNGS THE MUSCLES THAT CONSTRICT AND RESULT IN ASTHMA SYMPTOMS. THAT SAME YEAR, THE SENTARA CANCER NETWORK'S MOBILE PET/CT BEGAN PERFORMING BODY SCANS TO DISCOVER AND STAGE CANCERS THAT MAY HAVE SPREAD TO THE BONES. THIS IS POSSIBLE DUE TO THE FDA'S APPROVAL OF THE USE OF 18F-SODIUM FLUORIDE AS AN INJECTION. AT ROCKINGHAM MEMORIAL HOSPITAL IN 2012, PATIENTS WITH THE HEART CONDITION ATRIAL FIBRILLATION BENEFITTED FROM A PROCEDURE CALLED CARDIAC CRYOABLATION, APPROVED BY THE FDA IN LATE 2010. CRYOABLATION EMPLOYS A SPECIAL BALLOON THAT'S FILLED WITH A COOLANT TO REDUCE ITS TEMPERATURE TO MINUS 80 DEGREES CELSIUS. THE BALLOON IS APPLIED TO THE HEART TISSUES THAT CAUSE IRREGULAR HEARTBEATS, AND THE COLD TEMPERATURES DESTROY THE TISSUE AND CORRECT THE HEART'S PROBLEM. IT HAS PROVED SUCCESSFUL FOR PATIENTS WHO DID NOT RESPOND FULLY TO OTHER TREATMENTS. WITH A $725,000 GRANT FROM THE POTOMAC HEALTH FOUNDATION, SENTARA NORTHERN VIRGINIA MEDICAL CENTER PURCHASED A NEW DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY VAN. WITH THE VAN, THE CENTER REACHES WOMEN WITH LITTLE OR NO INSURANCE, IN HOPES OF DETECTING CANCER EARLIER IN WOMEN IN PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, WHERE THERE'S A HIGHER-THAN-AVERAGE DEATH RATE FROM BREAST CANCER. ON SEPTEMBER 17, 2012, SURGEONS AND CARDIOLOGISTS AT SENTARA HEART HOSPITAL WERE THE FIRST IN THE WORLD TO BEGIN PERFORMING SURGERIES IN THE DUAL EPICARDIAL ENDOCARDIAL PERSISTENT (DEEP) ATRIAL FIBRILLATION FEASIBILITY TRIAL. THIS FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION-APPROVED STUDY IS SPONSORED BY CARDIAC DEVICE MANUFACTURER ATRICURE, INC. AND IS DESIGNED TO EVALUATE THE SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF A COMBINED PROCEDURE WHEREBY THE SURGEON CREATES LINES OF BLOCK ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE HEART WORKING THROUGH TINY CHEST INCISIONS. B. EXPANDING SERVICE AREAS AND PARTNERSHIPS IN 2013, WE LAUNCHED AN EFFORT TO BETTER SERVE THE SENIOR POPULATION IN HAMPTON ROADS THROUGH A MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PRODUCT FROM OPTIMA HEALTH, SENTARA HEALTHCARE'S AWARD-WINNING HEALTH PLAN, ONE SPECIALIZED SENTARA MEDICAL GROUP (SMG) PRACTICE AND A NEW COLLABORATION WITH SMG, EASTERN VIRGINIA MEDICAL SCHOOL, OPTIMA HEALTH, SENTARA HOME CARE AND LIFE CARE AND SENTARA HOSPITALS TO CREATE A SEAMLESS EXPERIENCE FOR PATIENTS ACROSS THE CONTINUUM OF CARE.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A IN AUGUST 2012, SENTARA AND MDLIVE ANNOUNCED AN EQUITY PARTNERSHIP TO DELIVER REAL-TIME MEDICAL CONSULTATIONS VIA TELEPHONE AND ONLINE VIDEO THROUGH AN ESTABLISHED NETWORK OF PHYSICIANS. PATIENTS USE THE MDLIVE VIRTUAL CONSULT PLATFORM TO CONSULT DIRECTLY WITH A LICENSED SENTARA OR PARTNER PHYSICIAN WHO CAN DIAGNOSE LOW-ACUITY ILLNESSES, PROVIDE CARE, AND SUBSCRIBE PRESCRIPTIONS. IN 2013, SENTARA EMPLOYEES WITH OPTIMA HEALTH AND CIGNA INSURANCE RECEIVED THE BENEFIT OF SENTARA MDLIVE APPOINTMENTS FOR A $15 CO-PAY. WE SAW OVER 2,000 SENTARA EMPLOYEES/DEPENDENTS COVERED UNDER OPTIMA INSURANCE REGISTER WITH MDLIVE. THAT SAME YEAR, 429 EMPLOYEES AND THEIR FAMILIES MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MDLIVE. SENTARA IS WORKING WITH MDLIVE TO PARTNER WITH OTHER HEALTH SYSTEMS TO OFFER THE BENEFITS TO THEIR EMPLOYEES AND IS WORKING TO LEVERAGE THE TECHNOLOGY TO PILOT NEW MODELS TO TRANSFORM CARE AND IMPROVE LIVES. C. EXPANDING EDUCATIONAL SERVICES CONTINUING TO GROW AND DEVELOP AS WE AIM TO MEET THE DEMAND FOR WELL-EDUCATED HEALTHCARE EXPERTS, THE SENTARA SCHOOL OF HEALTH PROFESSIONALS CHANGED ITS NAME IN 2009 TO THE SENTARA COLLEGE OF HEALTH SCIENCES (SCHS). AT THE SAME TIME, IT RECEIVED APPROVAL TO OFFER A BACCALAUREATE DEGREE IN NURSING, A REQUIREMENT MORE HOSPITALS ARE SETTING FOR ITS STAFF. OUR BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN NURSING PROGRAM BEGAN IN AUGUST 2010 WITH FOUR WAYS TO RECEIVE A DEGREE: TRADITIONAL BSN, LPN TO BSN, RN TO BSN AND EARLY ADMISSION FOR HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS. THE COLLEGE IS PROVIDING A NEW POOL OF HIGHLY COMPETENT NURSES: THE FIRST RN TO BSN CLASS GRADUATED IN MAY 2012 WITH SEVEN GRADUATES. TWENTY-SIX STUDENTS ALSO GRADUATED IN THE NEW, TRADITIONAL BSN PROGRAM, AND ONE STUDENT GRADUATED IN THE NEW LPN TO BSN PROGRAM. ALL STUDENTS PRACTICE THEIR SKILLS IN SENTARA'S SIMULATION LAB A MINIMUM OF EIGHT TIMES, ENABLING THEM TO PERFECT THEIR CRITICAL-THINKING SKILLS IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT. THE LAB, EQUIPPED WITH SIX, HIGH-FIDELITY PROGRAMMABLE MANNEQUINS WHO CAN CRY, SWEAT, BREATHE RAPIDLY AND DEVELOP SYMPTOMS OF CARDIAC ARREST, IS LOCATED INSIDE SCHS -- A FEATURE NOT FOUND IN MANY NURSING PROGRAMS -- SO THAT IT IS EASILY ACCESSIBLE FOR BOTH STUDENTS AND PROFESSORS, AND CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION OR FEEDBACK CAN OCCUR IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS. WE FURTHERED OUR OFFERINGS WITH THE SURGICAL TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM AT THE COLLEGE LAUNCHING THE FIRST ASSOCIATE OF OCCUPATIONAL SCIENCE DEGREE WITH THE JANUARY 2013 CLASS. D. RESEARCHING FOR THE FUTURE IN A PATIENT STUDY CONDUCTED AT SENTARA LEIGH HOSPITAL IN 2012, NURSES WERE EMPOWERED TO GIVE IV FLUIDS AT THE EARLIEST SIGNS THAT A KNEE OR HIP JOINT REPLACEMENT PATIENT'S BLOOD PRESSURE WAS TRENDING DOWNWARD. BEFORE THE STUDY, A 10-STEP PROCESS INCLUDING A PHYSICIAN ORDER WAS REQUIRED. THIS NEW PROTOCOL SPED CARE AND REDUCED THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS WHOSE CONDITIONS WORSENED DUE TO LOW BLOOD PRESSURE BY 30 PERCENT. STUDY FINDINGS WERE SHARED WITH ORTHOPEDIC NURSES FROM AROUND THE UNITED STATES DURING THE 33RD ANNUAL NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ORTHOPAEDIC NURSES CONFERENCE IN SAN ANTONIO IN MAY 2013. IN APRIL 2012, SENTARA HEART HOSPITAL JOINED THE HEARTLIGHT TRIAL FOR THE TREATMENT OF SYMPTOMATIC ATRIAL FIBRILLATION. USING A FIBER OPTIC LIGHT, DOCTORS LOOK INSIDE THE BEATING HEART OF PATIENTS, TESTING A NEW DEVICE CALLED THE CARDIOFOCUS HEARTLIGHT ENDOSCOPIC ABLATION SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM INCLUDES A BALLOON, SMALL CAMERA AND LASER LIGHT TO PRECISELY DELIVER LIGHT ENERGY TO MISFIRING AREAS OF THE HEART AND TO HELP RESTORE REGULAR HEART RHYTHM. THE STUDY REACHED A MILESTONE IN FEBRUARY 2013 WHEN IT ENROLLED MORE THAN HALF OF THE TOTAL STUDY PARTICIPANTS. IN A 10-MONTH, 2012 STUDY, SENTARA PHYSICIANS WORKED WITH THE EASTERN VIRGINIA MEDICAL SCHOOL STRELITZ DIABETES CENTER TO DEVELOP ALERTS IN THE SENTARA ECARE HEALTH NETWORK, OUR ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORD SYSTEM, WHEN A CHANGE OCCURS IN A DIABETIC PATIENT'S CONDITION. THE ALERTS OFFER GUIDANCE ABOUT THE APPROPRIATE CARE FOR EACH SITUATION. DURING THE STUDY PERIOD, PATIENTS SHOWED SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT. NEARLY 900 PATIENTS MOVED FROM THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF RISK FOR COMPLICATIONS TO A HEALTHIER RANGE. THE RESULTS WERE PRESENTED MAY 2, 2013 IN PHOENIX AT THE 22ND ANNUAL SCIENTIFIC AND CLINICAL CONGRESS OF THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF CLINICAL ENDOCRINOLOGIST (AACE). SENTARA PARTNERED WITH CUPRON AND EOS SURFACES IN 2013 TO LAUNCH THE WORLD'S LARGEST CLINICAL TRIAL TO TEST THE EFFECTIVENESS OF COPPER-INFUSED HARD SURFACES AND LINENS IN PREVENTING HOSPITAL-ACQUIRED INFECTIONS. THE STUDY LAUNCHED AT SENTARA NORFOLK GENERAL HOSPITAL'S ICU AND SENTARA LEIGH HOSPITAL'S EAST TOWER IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2014 WITH MORE THAN 15,000 HORIZONTAL SQUARE FEET OF PATENT-PENDING CUPRON-ENHANCED EOS SURFACES INSTALLED. ANTI-ODOR TEXTILES MANUFACTURED BY ENCOMPASS ARE USED FOR PATIENT BED LINENS, GOWNS AND OTHER TEXTILES. THE COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM IS BELIEVED TO BE THE WORLD'S LARGEST HOSPITAL EVALUATION OF ANTIMICROBIAL-PROTECTED MATERIALS, WITH THE GOAL OF COMBATING THE SPREAD OF PATHOGENS KNOWN TO CONTRIBUTE TO HEALTHCARE INFECTIONS. APPROXIMATELY SEVEN MILLION PEOPLE WORLDWIDE SUFFER FROM HOSPITAL-ACQUIRED INFECTIONS EACH YEAR. IV. BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE ALONG WITH REACHING OUT TO NEW COMMUNITIES, SENTARA HEALTHCARE STRIVES TO BUILD ON OUR EXISTING SERVICES AND IN OUR ESTABLISHED AREAS SO THAT WE EXCEED OUR PATIENTS' EXPECTATIONS AND MEET GROWING HEALTHCARE DEMANDS. SOME OF THE CHANGES WE HAVE INVESTED IN RECENTLY WITHIN OUR ESTABLISHED COMMUNITIES INCLUDE: A. LORTON OUTPATIENT FACILITIES NEW OUTPATIENT FACILITIES OPENED IN LORTON/FAIRFAX COUNTY IN JUNE 2013. IT INCLUDES A 24-HOUR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AND AN ADVANCED IMAGING CENTER WITH A 64-SLICE CT AT LORTON MARKETPLACE AND ANOTHER IMAGING CENTER AT LORTON STATION, WHICH ADDED 3D MAMMOGRAPHY IN JULY 2013. THESE ARE CONVENIENT HEALTHCARE DESTINATIONS IN A FAST-GROWING MARKETPLACE WHERE THE MAJORITY OF POPULATION GROWTH WILL BE FROM PEOPLE OVER 65. B. BEHAVIORAL HEALTH UNIT A 24-BED INPATIENT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH UNIT OPENED AT SENTARA VIRGINIA BEACH GENERAL HOSPITAL IN JANUARY 2014. THE UNIT INCLUDES 16 BEDS DESIGNATED FOR GERIATRIC PATIENTS AND EIGHT GENERAL ADULT BEDS. THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS SEEKING PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES THROUGH THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AT SENTARA VIRGINIA BEACH GENERAL HAS INCREASED 111 PERCENT SINCE 2006. IN THE PAST, SOME PATIENTS HAVE HAD TO WAIT FOR ADMISSION IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, WHERE A STAFF PERSON HAD TO BE COMMITTED TO THE PATIENT FOR HIS OR HER SAFETY. THE NEW BEDS SPEED UP ADMISSION AND IMPROVE CARE. C. MARTHA JEFFERSON NEUROSCIENCE CENTER THE NEUROSCIENCE CENTER BEGAN SERVING PATIENTS IN JANUARY 2013. IT IS EQUIPPED WITH THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY, WITH ELECTROMYOGRAPHY (EMG) AND ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHY (EEG) DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT, NEW VESTIBULAR BALANCE REHABILITATION EQUIPMENT, LOW-DOSE CT-IMAGING, AND COMPLETE COMPLEX BRAIN SURGERY SUCH AS STEREOTACTIC RADIOSURGERY (SRS). FOUR NEUROLOGISTS, TWO NEUROSURGEONS AND 13 REHAB THERAPISTS ARE UNDER ONE ROOF TO ENSURE PATIENTS RECEIVE CARE IN ONE LOCATION. THE CENTER HAS ROLLED-OUT MULTI-DISCIPLINARY SUBSPECIALTY CLINICS THAT DELIVER A COORDINATED, PATIENT-CENTERED APPROACH. THE CLINICS INCLUDE THE SEIZURE DISORDER AND EPILEPSY CLINIC, THE NEUROPATHY CLINIC, THE STROKE RECOVERY CLINIC, THE COGNITIVE REHABILITATION CLINIC AND THE VESTIBULAR BALANCE AND FALLS PREVENTION CLINIC. D. SENTARA EASTERN VIRGINIA MEDICAL SCHOOL (EVMS) COMPREHENSIVE PELVIC FLOOR CENTER SENTARA AND EVMS PARTNERED IN FEBRUARY 2013 TO CREATE THE CENTER AND COMBINE THE LATEST IN RESEARCH, STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGY AND A MULTIDISCIPLINARY CARE TEAM. THE CENTER BRINGS TOGETHER SPECIALISTS IN UROGYNECOLOGY, GASTROENTEROLOGY, SPECIALIZED RADIOLOGY, UROLOGY, COLORECTAL MEDICINE AND SURGERY, PHYSICAL MEDICINE AND REHABILITATION, NUTRITION AND PHYSICAL THERAPY TO HELP PATIENTS WITH PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE LOWER URINARY TRACT AND THE PELVIC FLOOR. ALMOST HALF OF ALL WOMEN AND ONE IN FIVE MEN WILL EXPERIENCE URINARY INCONTINENCE, AND ROUGHLY 10 PERCENT OF WOMEN WILL UNDERGO SURGERY FOR PELVIC ORGAN PROLAPSE OR URINARY INCONTINENCE.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A E. SENTARA LEIGH TOWERS WORK BEGAN IN DECEMBER 2011 ON A MULTI-PHASE, THREE-YEAR PROJECT TO BUILD A NEW SENTARA LEIGH HOSPITAL ON THE SITE OF THE CURRENT ONE. SENTARA OPENED THE NEW EAST TOWER IN NOVEMBER 2013. ALONG WITH OUR PLANNED WEST TOWER, IT REPLACES THREE 1970S-ERA WINGS AT THE NORFOLK, VIRGINIA HOSPITAL. THE TOWERS FEATURE STATE-OF-THE-ART PATIENT ROOMS WITH PRIVATE BATHROOMS, NO-STEP SHOWERS AND OVERNIGHT ACCOMMODATIONS FOR FAMILIES. THE PROJECT ALSO INCLUDES A 48-BED ORTHOPEDIC AND REHABILITATION CENTER ON THE FIRST FLOOR AND EMPLOYS PART OF THE OUTSIDE GARDEN SPACE FOR WALKING EXERCISES ON DIFFERENT GRADES AND SURFACES, MAKING IT A TRUE HEALING GARDEN. THE TOWERS PROJECT WILL CONTINUE AS OUR STAFF MAINTAINS EXCELLENT, UNINTERRUPTED PATIENT CARE DURING THE PHASED CONSTRUCTION. F. SENTARA HOSPICE HOUSE IN MARCH 2013, SENTARA OPENED SENTARA HOSPICE HOUSE, AN 8,311 SQUARE-FOOT FACILITY TO PROVIDE CARE FOR UP TO 12 PEOPLE AND THEIR FAMILIES. PREVIOUSLY, WITH ONLY FIVE LIVE-IN HOSPICES IN VIRGINIA AND NONE IN HAMPTON ROADS, PATIENTS WERE NOT OFTEN ABLE TO CHOOSE THIS CARE. NOW THEY CAN. G. ROCKINGHAM MEMORIAL HOSPITAL (RMH) WOMEN'S CENTER CONSTRUCTION BEGAN ON THE RMH FUNKHOUSER WOMEN'S CENTER IN JUNE 2012 AND WAS COMPLETED JUNE 2013. THE 15,000 SQUARE FOOT CENTER HOUSES WOMEN'S IMAGING, INCLUDING ADVANCED BREAST IMAGING/MAMMOGRAPHY AND BONE DENSITY SCREENING, RMH BREAST CARE, THE IMAGE RECOVERY CENTER AND RMH HEART CHECK FOR MEN AND WOMEN AND A SURGEON'S OFFICE. H. ROCKINGHAM MEMORIAL HOSPITAL (RMH) OUTPATIENT ORTHOPEDICS & ADVANCED IMAGING CENTER RMH GAINED APPROVAL FOR THE NEW CENTER IN JULY 2012. THE NEW FACILITY WILL BE AN ORTHOPEDIC AND SPORTS MEDICINE DESTINATION INCLUDING ADVANCED IMAGING, RMH ORTHOPEDICS AND SPORTS MEDICINE, REHABILITATION THERAPY, A SPORTS PERFORMANCE ARENA AND AN INTERVENTIONAL SUITE FOR PAIN MANAGEMENT AND SPECIAL PROCEDURES. THE CENTER IS SCHEDULED TO BE COMPLETED IN LATE 2015. I. MARTHA JEFFERSON OUTPATIENT CARE CENTER A NEW OUTPATIENT CARE CENTER OPENED IN THE FALL OF 2012, WITH A FREE-STANDING 24-HOUR ED AND IMAGING, LABORATORY SERVICES AND A PRIMARY CARE PRACTICE. THE ED SHORTENS TRAVEL TIME FOR EMS PROVIDERS, AND THE FACILITY AS A WHOLE HELPS CUT TRAVEL TIME FOR PATIENTS IN THE NORTHERN COUNTIES OF VIRGINIA. V. SENTARA QUALITY & PATIENT SAFETY DISTINCTIONS A. MEASURING QUALITY HEALTHCARE SINCE OUR HEALTH SYSTEM'S EARLIEST YEARS, WE HAVE BELIEVED THE COMMUNITY DESERVES HEALTHCARE THAT IS MEASURABLY BETTER. SENTARA'S GOAL IS TO BE ACCREDITED BY RESPECTED NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS AND TO ACHIEVE TOP 10 PERCENT PERFORMANCE WHEREVER BENCHMARKS EXIST. WE ARE PROUD OF THE WORK WE HAVE DONE SO FAR TOWARD THIS GOAL, AS IT HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED IN MANY WAYS: 1. TOP 100 INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE NETWORK SENTARA HAS CONSISTENTLY RANKED AMONG THE NATION'S TOP INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE NETWORKS AS PUBLISHED IN MODERN HEALTHCARE'S FACT-BASED RANKING. THE ONLY HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IN THE COUNTRY TO BE AMONG THE NATION'S TOP 10 FOR ALL 15 YEARS OF THE SURVEY, SENTARA LANDED AT NUMBER ONE IN 2001, 2010 AND 2011. THE STUDY, PUBLISHED ANNUALLY, HIGHLIGHTS THE TOP 100 INTEGRATED HEALTH CARE NETWORKS ACROSS THE NATION AS SELECTED BY SDI, A HEALTH INFORMATION COMPANY. 2. USING TECHNOLOGY TO IMPROVE CARE SENTARA HEALTHCARE WAS BEEN NAMED ONE OF THE NATION'S MOST WIRED HEALTH SYSTEMS IN THE 2013 AND 2012 MOST WIRED SURVEY AND BENCHMARKING STUDY. HOSPITALS & HEALTH NETWORKS POLLED ABOUT 1,570 HOSPITALS. THE SURVEY ASSESSES HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS' MEANINGFUL USE OF ELECTRONIC MEDIA TECHNOLOGY IN FOUR AREAS INFRASTRUCTURE, BUSINESS AND ADMINISTRATIVE MANAGEMENT, CLINICAL QUALITY AND SAFETY, AND CARE CONTINUUM. 3. AWARD-WINING CARDIAC AND NEPHROLOGY CARE SENTARA HEART HOSPITAL/SENTARA NORFOLK GENERAL HOSPITAL IS A COMPREHENSIVE NETWORK OF PROVIDERS, FACILITIES AND SERVICES WORKING TOGETHER TO ENSURE THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF CARE. SENTARA NORFOLK GENERAL HOSPITAL HAS BEEN RANKED THE NUMBER ONE HOSPITAL IN VIRGINIA AND HAMPTON ROADS BY U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT. IN THE 2014-15 U.S. NEWS BEST HOSPITALS RANKINGS, THE HOSPITAL WAS RECOGNIZED WITH TWO NATIONALLY RANKED TOP 50 PROGRAMS. CARDIOLOGY AND HEART SURGERY ARE RANKED 44TH, WHICH MARKS THE PROGRAM'S 14TH CONSECUTIVE YEAR AMONG THE NATION'S ELITE PROGRAMS IN THE U.S. NEWS NATIONAL SURVEY. FOR THE FIRST TIME, EAR, NOSE AND THROAT IS ALSO AMONG THE NATION'S TOP 50 PROGRAMS AT NUMBER 41. THIS NATIONAL RANKING IS DUE, IN PART, TO INNOVATIVE PROCEDURES USED BY SURGEONS AND RADIOLOGISTS WITH EASTERN VIRGINIA MEDICAL SCHOOL MEDICAL GROUP FOR PATIENTS WITH HEAD AND NECK CANCERS AND TRAUMATIC INJURIES. THE TWO SPECIALTIES ARE THE ONLY TOP-50 RANKED HEART AND ENT PROGRAMS IN VIRGINIA. IN ADDITION TO THE NATIONAL RANKINGS, U.S. NEWS INCLUDED RANKINGS FOR STATE AND METRO AREAS. SEVEN SENTARA HOSPITALS WERE FEATURED IN THE RANKINGS, WITH SENTARA NORFOLK GENERAL HOSPITAL LISTED AT NUMBER ONE IN THE REGION AND NUMBER ONE IN THE STATE. MARTHA JEFFERSON HOSPITAL RANKED 11TH IN THE STATE AND SENTARA ROCKINGHAM MEMORIAL HOSPITAL 15TH.

SENTARA HAS BUILT A STRONG "CULTURE OF SAFETY" TO REDUCE MEDICAL ERRORS BY MODELING SUCCESSFUL PROGRAMS FROM THE NUCLEAR POWER AND AVIATION INDUSTRIES. THIS CULTURE OF SAFETY PROMOTES BEHAVIORS THAT RESULT IN SAFE, RELIABLE AND EFFECTIVE CARE. THE FOUNDATION OF THIS CULTURE IS A STRONG ACCOUNTABILITY TO PERFORM REGIMENTED BEHAVIORS THAT REDUCE MEDICAL ERRORS. OUR STAFF USES GUIDELINES KNOWN AS "BEHAVIOR BASED EXPECTATIONS" OR BBE'S TO ENSURE THE HIGHEST STANDARD OF CARE. THE GOAL IS TO MAKE THESE TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES A HABIT. FOR OUR DEDICATION, WE HAVE RECEIVED NUMEROUS AWARDS FOR PATIENT SAFETY AND QUALITY OF CARE STANDARDS. 1. THE LEAPFROG HOSPITAL SURVEY THE LEAPFROG HOSPITAL RECOGNITION PROGRAM (LHRP) HONORS HOSPITALS THAT DEMONSTRATE EXCELLENCE OR IMPROVEMENT IN PATIENT SAFETY, QUALITY, AND RESOURCE UTILIZATION. IN 2012, THE LEAPFROG GROUP DEVELOPED THE HOSPITAL SAFETY SCORE, GRADING MORE THAN 2,600 OF THE NATION'S HOSPITALS ON PATIENT SAFETY. IN VIRGINIA, 58 HOSPITALS WERE NAMED IN THE REPORT, AND SEVEN SENTARA HOSPITALS ACHIEVED THE HIGHEST GRADE OF A FOR DELIVERING SAFE CARE TO PATIENTS. IN 2013, LEAPFROG RECOGNIZED SENTARA NORFOLK GENERAL HOSPITAL WITH AN A RATING. 2. INFECTION PREVENTION PREVENTION OF HEALTH CARE-ASSOCIATED INFECTIONS IS A NATIONAL CONCERN, AND SENTARA CONTINUALLY STRIVES TO REDUCE THESE CASES. ALL OF OUR HOSPITALS HAVE BEEN WORKING DILIGENTLY TO REDUCE THE OCCURRENCE OF VENTILATOR-ASSOCIATED PNEUMONIA (VAP), WHICH CAN DEVELOP IN PATIENTS WHO HAVE BEEN ON MECHANICAL VENTILATION FOR 48 HOURS OR MORE. IN 2013, SENTARA WILLIAMSBURG REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER MARKED NINE CONSECUTIVE YEARS WITH ZERO CASES OF VAP, WHICH NO OTHER HOSPITAL IN THE COUNTRY CAN CLAIM. THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AND THE CRITICAL CARE SOCIETIES COLLABORATIVE HAVE RECOGNIZED WILLIAMSBURG FOR OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT AND LEADERSHIP IN THE ELIMINATION OF VAP. VOLUNTARY HOSPITALS OF AMERICA (VHA), A VOLUNTARY NATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOCUSED ON HEALTH CARE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE THROUGH CLINICAL EXCELLENCE AND SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT, "BLUEPRINTED" THE PRACTICES AT SENTARA WILLIAMSBURG REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER AS A MODEL FOR HOSPITALS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. 3. IMPROVING PATIENT SAFETY THROUGH TECHNOLOGY SENTARA HEALTHCARE PROVIDES THE SENTARA ECARE HEALTH NETWORK. THE CLINICAL SYSTEM USES INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY TO LINK PATIENT MEDICAL INFORMATION BETWEEN OUR HOSPITALS, PHYSICIAN PRACTICES AND OTHER HEALTH CARE SITES OVER A PROTECTED NETWORK, ENABLING THE SECURE SHARING OF PATIENT INFORMATION, INCREASING PATIENT SAFETY AND REDUCING PREVENTABLE MEDICAL ERRORS. MYCHART, THE COMPONENT OF ECARE THAT ALLOWS PATIENTS TO ACCESS PART OF THEIR MEDICAL RECORDS, WAS PROMOTED TO PATIENTS IN 2011. A PHONE APP WAS CREATED TO PROVIDE EASY ACCESS AS WELL. CURRENTLY, 140,000 PATIENTS ACCESS MYCHART EACH YEAR. 2013 MARKED THE 13TH YEAR THAT WE EMPLOYED OUR EICU REMOTE MONITORING SYSTEM FOR OUR SICKEST HOSPITAL PATIENTS. SENTARA WAS THE FIRST HOSPITAL SYSTEM IN THE COUNTRY TO IMPLEMENT THE EICU SYSTEM, WHICH USES A NETWORK OF CAMERAS, MONITORS, ALERTS, AND TWO-WAY COMMUNICATION LINKS. DOCTORS AND CRITICAL CARE NURSES AT THE EICU COMMAND CENTER MAKE VIRTUAL ROUNDS ON ICU PATIENTS. THIS SENTARA-PIONEERED TECHNOLOGY IS NOW USED TO HELP CARE FOR PATIENTS IN NEARLY 5,000 ICU BEDS NATIONALLY. ANOTHER SAFETY INITIATIVE ADOPTED BY SENTARA IS BEDSIDE MEDICATION VERIFICATION, INCLUDING BAR-CODING TECHNOLOGY. NATIONAL STUDIES HAVE FOUND THAT BEDSIDE VERIFICATION CAN REDUCE HOSPITAL MEDICATION ERRORS BY NEARLY 70 PERCENT. VI. COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY AS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATION, WE CONTINUOUSLY REINVEST IN THE COMMUNITY-BY PURCHASING THE MOST MEDICALLY ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY; BUILDING NEW, STATE-OF-THE-ART HEALTHCARE FACILITIES; TRAINING MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS; AND PROVIDING THE HIGHEST QUALITY HEALTHCARE TO ALL PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. IT'S NOT JUST OUR MISSION, IT'S OUR COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY. MARTHA JEFFERSON HOSPITAL WAS HONORED BY THE CHARLOTTESVILLE REGIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WITH THE 2012 HOVEY S. DABNEY AWARD FOR CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP. ORGANIZATIONS RECEIVING THIS AWARD ARE KNOWN FOR ENGAGING IN SOUND, SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS PRACTICE AND BEING GOOD PARTNERS WITH OTHER BUSINESSES, INVESTING DIRECTLY IN THE ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL ADVANCEMENT OF THE COMMUNITY, PURSING A POSITIVE WORK ENVIRONMENT, AND INSPIRING BY EXAMPLE. THE FEDERAL DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AWARDED ROCKINGHAM MEMORIAL HOSPITAL (RMH) WITH A $3.1 MILLION, FIVE-YEAR GRANT IN NOVEMBER 2012 TO HELP FAMILIES AT RISK FROM SUBSTANCE ABUSE. AS A FISCAL AGENT, RMH OVERSEES ADMINISTRATION OF THE GRANT, AND CENTRAL SHENANDOAH VALLEY FAMILY PARTNERSHIP HELPS FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN IN DANGER OF BEING REMOVED FROM THEIR HOMES BECAUSE OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE BY A CAREGIVER. SOLIANT HEALTH NAMED MARTHA JEFFERSON HOSPITAL THE TOP VOTE-GETTER IN THE COUNTRY IN ITS ANNUAL "MOST BEAUTIFUL HOSPITAL" SURVEY IN 2012. HERE ARE SOME OF THE OTHER WAYS WE'VE INVESTED IN THE PEOPLE WE SERVE: A. THE SENTARA HEALTH FOUNDATION WE ESTABLISHED THE SENTARA HEALTH FOUNDATION IN 1998 TO IMPROVE HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE THROUGHOUT SOUTHEASTERN VIRGINIA AND NORTH CAROLINA, AND TO DEMONSTRATE OUR NOT-FOR-PROFIT MISSION. THE FOUNDATION HAS TOUCHED THE LIVES OF MANY VIRGINIA RESIDENTS FROM THE EASTERN SHORE TO GREATER HAMPTON ROADS THROUGH GRANTS SUPPORTING COMMUNITY HEALTH PROGRAMS. SPECIFICALLY, IT HAS AWARDED OVER $10 MILLION IN GRANTS, INCLUDING $601,800 IN 2013. PROGRAMS INCLUDE DENTAL CARE, PRENATAL SUPPORT, MEDICATION ASSISTANCE, AND REDUCED-COST PRIMARY CARE. THE FOUNDATION ALSO SPONSORS COMMUNITY EVENTS, SUCH AS THE SUSAN G. KOMEN TIDEWATER RACE FOR THE CURE, THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION HEART GALA AND HEART WALK AND THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY RELAY FOR LIFE. B. IN SUPPORT OF THE COMMUNITY LED BY A VOLUNTEER COMMUNITY BOARD OF DIRECTORS, SENTARA PROUDLY PROVIDES CARE TO ALL, AND REINVESTS IN THE COMMUNITY IN NUMEROUS WAYS: 1. CONTRIBUTIONS EACH YEAR, WE PROVIDE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN BENEFITS TO THE COMMUNITY. IN 2013, SENTARA REINVESTED $299,989,000 INTO OUR COMMUNITIES. SENTARA EARMARKED $20,454,000 FOR HEALTH CARE TEACHING PROGRAMS TO ENSURE A QUALIFIED POOL OF PHYSICIANS AND NURSES. WE ALSO SPENT $5,355,000 TO SUPPORT LOCAL COMMUNITY PROGRAMS THAT PROVIDED HEALTH EVENTS AND HEALTH SCREENINGS TO INDIVIDUALS. WE FUNDED $274,180,000 IN UNCOMPENSATED PATIENT CARE FOR PEOPLE WHO WERE UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED. 2. MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED SENTARA MEDICAL GROUP'S PHYSICIANS AND MEDICAL STAFF VOLUNTEER THOUSANDS OF HOURS TO EASTERN VIRGINIA MEDICAL SCHOOL (EVMS), FREE CLINICS, COMMUNITY EDUCATION, AND CIVIC AND CHARITABLE PROGRAMS. WE SUPPORT AND OPERATE UNCOMPENSATED CARE CLINICS THROUGHOUT THE REGION, INCLUDING THE SENTARA AMBULATORY CARE CENTER (ACC). THE ACC IS A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT WITH EVMS AND IS LOCATED NEAR SENTARA NORFOLK GENERAL HOSPITAL. IT FEATURES AN APPOINTMENT SIDE, WHICH FUNCTIONS LIKE A DOCTOR'S OFFICE, AND A SAME-DAY "WALK-IN" SERVICE SIDE FOR MORE PRESSING AND IMMEDIATE HEALTH CONCERNS.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A IN NOVEMBER 2012, SENTARA PARTNERED WITH THE FREE FOUNDATION TO OPEN A VIRGINIA BEACH FACILITY. THE NON-PROFIT COLLECTS, REFURBISHES, STERILIZES, AND DISTRIBUTES USED DURABLE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT TO THOSE WHO CANNOT AFFORD IT. THE SENTARA HEALTH FOUNDATION SUPPORTED THE FREE SET-UP AND DONATED SPACE. C. IN SUPPORT OF COMMUNITY HEALTH INITIATIVES 1. SENTARA COMMUNITY HEALTH AND PREVENTION AS PART OF SENTARA'S COMMITMENT TO PREVENTIVE HEALTH MEASURES, WE SPONSOR AND HOST SPECIAL COMMUNITY INITIATIVES THAT ARE DESIGNED TO EDUCATE THE COMMUNITY ABOUT HEALTH. OUR CAMPAIGNS HAVE INCLUDED: -NATIONAL DRUG TAKE BACK DAY -DRIVE-THRU FLU SHOTS -WOMEN'S DAY HEALTH FAIR -WEBINARS FOR WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY -PAINT FACEBOOK PINK TO RAISE AWARENESS FOR BREAST HEALTH -TEXT OUTREACH TO PREGNANT WOMEN -EATING FOR LIFE, AN AWARD-WINNING NUTRITION AND HEALTHY EATING PROGRAM -KNOW YOUR NUMBERS, A CARDIOVASCULAR RISK REDUCTION AND HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM -WALK-ABOUT WITH HEALTHY EDGE, A WALKING PROGRAM THAT ENCOURAGES WALKING FOR CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH -GET OFF YOUR BUTT: STAY SMOKELESS FOR LIFE, A SMOKING CESSATION PROGRAM -HEALTHY HEART PROGRAM, A CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE REDUCTION PROGRAM -SENTARA LIVING, A COMPREHENSIVE WELLNESS PROGRAM FOR SENIORS -SENTARA'S MOBILE MAMMOGRAPHY UNIT VISITS NUMEROUS WORK SITES EVERY YEAR TO ENCOURAGE WELLNESS. -CAMP LIGHTHOUSE, A GRIEF CAMP FOR KIDS AGES 5-16 WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE DEATH OF A LOVED ONE -DON'T SIT ON COLON CANCER HEALTHY EATING AND SCREENING CAMPAIGN AND 5K -PROSTATE CANCER EDUCATION AND FREE SCREENINGS -MOBILE ER TENTS AT VIRGINIA BEACH ROCK 'N' ROLL HALF MARATHON -A NEW BLOG FOR WOMEN OF CHILDBEARING AGE WITH INFORMATION AND SUPPORT FOR MOTHERS AND MOTHERS-TO-BE -COURAGE F.U.N, A PROJECT TO COMBAT CHILDHOOD OBESITY THROUGH SOCCER TRAINING AND WEIGHT MANAGEMENT EDUCATION -LUNG CANCER SCREENING EDUCATION FOR SMOKERS 55 AND OLDER WHO HAVE SMOKED A PACK A DAY FOR OVER 30 YEARS 2. TOBACCO-FREE ENVIRONMENTS HOSPITALS SEE THE EFFECTS OF TOBACCO EVERY DAY IN HEART DISEASE, RESPIRATORY AILMENTS, AND CANCERS. IN RESPONSE, SENTARA HAS IMPLEMENTED OUR TOBACCO-FREE ENVIRONMENT (TFE) CAMPAIGN. NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO SMOKE, CHEW OR DIP ANYWHERE ON CAMPUS, NOT EVEN IN CARS. THE GOAL IS NOT JUST TO AVOID THE AESTHETIC AND HEALTH ISSUES OF SECOND-HAND SMOKE, BUT TO PUT SENTARA'S MISSION INTO PRACTICE BY HELPING STAFF, PATIENTS, AND VISITORS QUIT THIS HABIT. AS OF 2011, ALL OF OUR FACILITIES ADOPTED THE TOBACCO FREE ENVIRONMENT INITIATIVES. WE HAVE EARNED THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY "EXCELLENCE IN THE WORKPLACE TOBACCO CONTROL" AWARD FOR OUR EFFORTS. VII. OPTIMA HEALTH PLAN A. IMPROVING HEALTH OPERATING WITH THE SAME MISSION IN MIND -- TO IMPROVE HEALTH EVERY DAY --IS OUR HEALTH PLAN, OPTIMA HEALTH. WITH MORE THAN 25 YEARS OF HEALTH INSURANCE EXPERIENCE, OPTIMA HEALTH PROVIDES HEALTH PLAN COVERAGE TO MORE THAN 440,000 MEMBERS THROUGHOUT THE STATE. OUR QUALITY PROVIDER NETWORK FEATURES MORE THAN 15,000 PROVIDERS INCLUDING SPECIALISTS, PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS, AND HOSPITALS. B. SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY OPTIMA HEALTH PROVIDES MORE THAN INSURANCE FOR OUR COMMUNITIES; WE REACH OUT THROUGH HEALTH SCREENINGS, EVENTS, EDUCATION MATERIALS, AND IMMUNIZATIONS. OUR HIGHLIGHTS IN 2013 INCLUDED: -HEALTH IMPROVEMENT EVENT PARTICIPATION NUMBERS INCREASED FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR (IN 2012 THERE WERE 43,263 PARTICIPANTS COMPARED TO 43,351 PARTICIPANTS IN 2013.)

C. ACCREDITATION AND AWARDS THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE (NCQA) HAS RECOGNIZED OUR QUEST FOR EXCELLENCE BY AWARDING OUR COMMERCIAL HMO AND MEDICAID HMO PRODUCTS WITH AN "EXCELLENT" ACCREDITATION STATUS. WE HAVE MAINTAINED THIS RATING SINCE 1998, A CLAIM NO OTHER HEALTH PLAN IN THE REGION CAN MAKE. OPTIMA HEALTH RECEIVED AN A+ RATING FROM THESTREET.COM (WEISS RATINGS, INC.) FOR FINANCIAL SOUNDNESS, RECOGNIZING OUR ABILITY TO WITHSTAND SEVERE ECONOMIC ADVERSITY AND SHOWING EXCEPTIONAL FINANCIAL STRENGTH. THESTREET.COM IS THE NATION'S LEADING INDEPENDENT PROVIDER OF RATINGS AND ANALYSES OF FINANCIAL SERVICE COMPANIES, MUTUAL FUNDS, AND STOCKS. THE RATING RECOGNIZES OPTIMA HEALTH AS AN OUTSTANDING INSURER OFFERING EXCELLENT FINANCIAL STABILITY FOR ITS CUSTOMERS. FEWER THAN FIVE PERCENT OF THE NATION'S HMOS AND HEALTH INSURERS MEET THESTREET.COM RATING'S CRITERIA FOR EXCEPTIONAL FINANCIAL STRENGTH. VIII. CONCLUSION THROUGH ALL THAT WE DO AT SENTARA HEALTHCARE AND OPTIMA HEALTH, WE STRIVE TO IMPROVE HEALTH EVERY DAY, WHETHER IT IS BY USING THE MOST ADVANCED MEDICAL EQUIPMENT POSSIBLE, CARING FOR A NEW PATIENT WHO MIGHT NOT OTHERWISE BE HELPED, OR RESEARCHING NEW WAYS TO PREVENT OR CURE CHALLENGING HEALTH CONDITIONS. WHILE OUR OFFICIAL PATIENT COUNT COULD BE FIGURED HOSPITAL BY HOSPITAL AND PHYSICIAN'S OFFICE BY PHYSICIAN'S OFFICE, WE BELIEVE WE MAY HELP OVER THREE MILLION PEOPLE WHETHER ENROLLED "PATIENTS" OR COMMUNITY MEMBERS - ACROSS VIRGINIA AND NORTH CAROLINA, THANKS TO ALL OF OUR VITAL HEALTH SERVICES AND PROGRAMS OFFERED EACH YEAR.

SENTARA HEALTHCARE IS THE 501(C)(3) SOLE MEMBER OF THE ORGANIZATION.

FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 AS PART OF THE SENTARA HEALTHCARE SYSTEM ("THE SYSTEM"), THE ORGANIZATION FOLLOWED PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES SET FORTH IN ITS GOVERNING DOCUMENTS TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH ITS OBLIGATIONS AS A 501(C)(3) HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATION TO PAY DISQUALIFIED PERSONS REASONABLE COMPENSATION. SUCH PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES ARE INTENDED TO ESTABLISH THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 4958 REGULATIONS. THE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY OF THE SYSTEM AS A WHOLE IS TO BASE OVERALL COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS FOR EXECUTIVES ON NOT-FOR-PROFIT MARKET COMPARABLES, ADJUSTED AS APPLIED TO EACH EXECUTIVE, TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE INDIVIDUAL SKILLS, EXPERIENCE, TENURE AND PERFORMANCE OF THE EXECUTIVE BEING COMPENSATED AND OVERALL PERFORMANCE OF THE ORGANIZATION. IN LINE WITH THIS PHILOSOPHY, THE SYSTEM PERFORMED SUBSTANTIAL DUE DILIGENCE AS TO MARKET COMPARABLES. THE SYSTEM'S COMPENSATION COMMITTEE, WHICH CONSISTS OF SYSTEM BOARD MEMBERS WITHOUT CONFLICTS OF INTERESTS, ENGAGED AN OUTSIDE CONSULTANT, WHO REPORTS TO THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE, TO CONDUCT A STUDY ASSESSING THE COMPETITIVENESS OF TOTAL COMPENSATION (INCLUDING CASH COMPENSATION, BENEFITS AND PERQUISITES) OF ITS SENIOR EXECUTIVES PRIOR TO MAKING DECISIONS REGARDING ANNUAL BASE SALARY ADJUSTMENTS, APPROVING INCENTIVE AWARDS, OR CONSIDERING PROGRAMMATIC CHANGES. THE STUDY COMPARED THE COMPENSATION OF THE SYSTEM'S SENIOR EXECUTIVES TO COMPENSATION DATA FROM MULTIPLE PUBLISHED SURVEY SOURCES BASED ON THE SENIOR EXECUTIVE'S FUNCTIONAL RESPONSIBILITY. IN CONDUCTING THE STUDY, THE CONSULTANT TARGETED OTHER NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTH SYSTEMS OF SIMILAR SIZE BASED ON NET REVENUE AND COMPLEXITY. FOR HEALTH PLAN POSITIONS, HEALTH PLANS WITH SIMILAR PREMIUMS, OR MEMBERS, WERE TARGETED. THE CONSULTANT ALSO CONDUCTS A REVIEW OF THE ORGANIZATION'S PERFORMANCE RELATIVE TO A GROUP OF NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTH SYSTEMS OF COMPARABLE SIZE AND SCOPE OF OPERATIONS EVERY YEAR. THE MOST RECENT STUDY COMPARED SENTARA'S PERFORMANCE TO 29 NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS BASED ON NET REVENUE GROWTH, OPERATING MARGIN, BOND RATING, AND QUALITATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES BASED ON RANKINGS FROM SDI'S NATIONAL TOP INTEGRATED HEALTH NETWORKS. OVERALL, THE CONSULTANT DETERMINED THAT SENTARA'S PAY WAS ALIGNED WITH ITS RELATIVE PERFORMANCE. THE COMPENSATION STUDY WAS PRESENTED TO THE SYSTEM'S COMPENSATION COMMITTEE, WHICH MADE ITS COMPENSATION DECISIONS BASED ON A)ITS REVIEW AND ANALYSIS OF THE PERFORMANCE OF BOTH THE ORGANIZATION AND ITS SENIOR EXECUTIVES AND, B) A REASONABLENESS OF COMPENSATION ANALYSIS AND OPINION FROM AN EXTERNAL EXPERT IN THE COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVES IN THE TAX-EXEMPT HEALTH CARE FIELD. THE COMMITTEE'S BASES FOR ITS DECISIONS WERE DOCUMENTED IN COMMITTEE MINUTES TAKEN DURING THE MEETING AND THEN CIRCULATED FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL. ALL DECISIONS REGARDING COMPENSATION WERE MADE BY THE COMMITTEE, WHICH CONSISTS OF SYSTEM BOARD MEMBERS WITHOUT CONFLICT OF INTERESTS. THIS PROCESS WAS USED TO ESTABLISH COMPENSATION FOR THE ORGANIZATION'S CHAIRMAN, PRESIDENT, SECRETARY/TREASURER, AND ASSISTANT TREASURER WHO ALSO SERVE AS CEO, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, PRESIDENT AND COO, AND SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT AND CFO OF THE SYSTEM, RESPECTIVELY. THE PROCESS WAS LAST UNDERTAKEN DURING 2013 FOR ALL POSITIONS LISTED.
