| COMMUNITY BENEFIT STATEMENT | CORE FORM, PART III, STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | Memorial Hospital of Rhode Island ("Memorial") is a not for-profit community hospital. Memorial is recognized by the irs as an internal revenue code section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Pursuant to its charitable purposes, Memorial provides medically necessary healthcare services to all individuals in a non-discriminatory manner regardless of race, color, creed, sex, national origin, religion or ability to pay. Moreover, Memorial operates consistently with the following criteria outlined in IRS revenue ruling 69-545: 1. Memorial provides medically necessary healthcare services to all individuals regardless of ability to pay, including charity care, self- pay, Medicare and Medicaid patients; 2. Memorial operates an active emergency room for all persons; which is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days per year; 3. Memorial maintains an open medical staff, with privileges available to all qualified physicians; 4. Control of Memorial rests with the board of directors of care new england health system and is comprised of independent civic leaders and other prominent members of the community; and 5. Surplus funds are used to improve the quality of patient care, expand and renovate facilities and advance medical care; programs and activities. The operations of Memorial, as shown through the factors outlined above and other information contained herein, clearly demonstrate that the hospital provides substantial community benefit and that the use and control of Memorial is for the benefit of the public and that no part of the income or net earnings of the organization inures to the benefit of any private individual nor is any private interest being served other than incidentally. History ======= As of September 3, 2013, Southeastern Healthcare System, Inc. ("SHS"), an Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization located in Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts, became a subsidiary of Care New England Health System ("Care New England"); an Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization and the parent entity of a Rhode Island based tax-exempt integrated healthcare delivery system. SHS is the sole corporate member of Memorial. Care New England became the parent organization and sole member of SHS as a result of this acquisition. Care New England and SHS believe that the acquisition will greatly improve comprehensive healthcare services. Founded in 1901, Memorial has grown steadily from a 30-bed institution to a 13-acre teaching institution with 294 beds and three satellite primary care center facilities in Rhode Island and nearby Massachusetts. Memorial has come to embody a myriad of internationally-renowned research studies, the enthusiasm of medical students in unique Family and Internal Medicine Programs, the rehabilitation center and one of the first Home Care Programs in New England. Memorial has also fostered a healthy relationship with The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, bringing residents in both Internal and Family Medicine training programs into the hospital. The Family Medicine program is the only one of its kind in the state to integrate the broad range of preventive counseling and diagnostic and treatment services. These elements combine for a dynamic atmosphere in which Memorial reaches beyond the boundaries of conventional medicine to develop bold new programs and services that are designed to help people stay healthy before and after hospitalization. The commitment to the community has helped fuel Memorial's dynamic growth through the decades, from the construction of a private wing for 23 patients constructed in 1918 for just $50,975 to the opening of the spectacular $12.6-million Sayles Building in 1987. Memorial's niche as one of the most modern and progressive hospital facilities in the nation is tribute to the dedication of the staff and the generosity of Blackstone Valley residents, which its founders envisioned as key to the success of the institution. Care new england health system was formed in february 1996 by founding members butler hospital, kent county memorial hospital and women & infants hospital of rhode island. These three hospitals are all internal revenue code section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organizations. As outlined earlier, SHS, which includes Memorial, joined Care New England in September of 2013. In june 1999, kent county visiting nurse association became a member of the care new england family, and later that year announced its name change to vna of care new england. In 2000, healthtouch, inc., a private duty nursing service, joined the division. Today, vna of care new england provides a broad spectrum of home health and hospice services. The care new england health system was founded in 1996 by members committed to the vision that we can build a better system of healthcare for the people and communities of southeastern new england. The system offers the latest advances in medicine, specialty-trained doctors, and renowned services and care. An integrated health system that offers a continuum of quality care, care new england is moving healthcare forward and reinventing the way healthcare is delivered. This approach puts a broad spectrum of care - addressing cancer, cardiac rehabilitation, hyperbaric medicine, parkinson's disease, maternal-fetal medicine and fetal surgery, advanced laparoscopic and robotic surgery, stroke and addiction treatment - all under one umbrella so they are easily accessible to patients and families. Care new england includes: butler hospital, rhode island's only private, nonprofit psychiatric and substance abuse hospital for adults, adolescents, children and seniors; kent hospital, the largest community hospital in the state, providing a full spectrum of primary and secondary acute care services; women & infants hospital of rhode island, one of the nation's busiest obstetrical facilities with one of the nation's largest single-family room neonatal intensive care units, the area's only tertiary level neonatal facility, and various specialty services; memorial hospital of rhode island, one of the most modern and progressive hospital facilities in the nation; the vna of care new england, which provides a broad spectrum of home health, hospice and private duty nursing services for new mothers, the elderly and the terminally ill; and the care new england wellness center, which offers an array of rehabilitation, wellness, fitness and educational programs. The system includes a solid, diverse combination of physician specialists and generalists and a strong commitment to education. Butler and women & infants hospitals are major teaching affiliates of the warren alpert medical school of brown university, while kent is a teaching site for the university of new england college of osteopathic medicine. In addition, care new england is committed, through national and internationally-funded and recognized research projects, to finding answers to many of today's medical questions. Care new england provides medically necessary healthcare services to patients who meet certain criteria under its charity care policy without charge or at amounts less than the established rates. Because care new england does not pursue collection of amounts determined to qualify as charity care, they are not reported as revenue. Charity care includes services to uninsured patients who care new england has determined qualify for charity care under care new england policies. Services to uninsured patients who are not eligible for charity care or who care new england was not able to determine their eligibility are not reported as charity care but reported in the provision for bad debts. Additionally, care new england sponsors certain other programs which provide substantial benefit to the broader community. Such programs include services to needy populations including community service programs and services for school-aged children and the elderly. Care new england also actively sponsors programs on health education and wellness. Care new england maintains records to identify and monitor the level of charity care and community service it provides. These records include the amount of charges forgone based on established rates for services and supplies furnished under its charity and community service policies. |
| COMMUNITY BENEFIT STATEMENT CONTINUED | CORE FORM, PART III, STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | Mission ======= Memorial's mission is primary care and preventative medicine, providing advanced diagnosis and treatment with a focus on teaching and research. An essential resource in achieving their mission is the medical expertise provided by their competent and caring professional staff. Memorial strives to achieve the timely and efficient delivery of care in a compassionate atmosphere. Vision ====== Memorial's vision to excel as a primary healthcare network and community teaching hospital requires them to: - Continuously improve the quality, maximize the value, and expand access to patient services. - Build a learning organization by creating an environment and structures to foster role development. - Support research efforts and translate research findings into standards that measure and improve patient care for high volume and/or underserved, vulnerable populations within our community. Values ====== Memorial's organizational values emphasize individual contributions and team approach that foster: - Respect, - Integrity, - Collaboration, - Innovation, and - Excellence. Overview ======== Memorial's main campus is in Pawtucket, Rhode Island and its affiliates provide primary care services in Pawtucket and Central Falls and in Plainville, Massachusetts. Memorial also has a state-of-the-art cancer and cardiovascular treatment facility in Pawtucket. The most telling indication of the hospital's dedication to education is embodied in an affiliation with the Alpert Medical School. Created in 1969, the relationship has brought thousands of the best young medical students, interns, residents and research fellows in the country through the hospital's doors for study and practice. Memorial has grown into the second largest teaching hospital in the state, with the majority of the full-time medical staff affiliated with the medical school, and dozens of residents in various specialties working at the hospital. Memorial is home to Brown's Family Medicine and Internal Medicine residency programs, through which staff physicians teach medical residents about rehabilitation and restorative care. This infusion invigorated Memorial's medical research endeavors. Today, more than fifty research projects supported by more than $2.5 million in federal funds, ranks the hospital among the top research hospitals in Rhode Island. Memorial is also on the forefront in the relatively new specialty field of Family Medicine, which emphasizes the role of the primary care physician as the orchestrator of care and treatment for members of an entire family. These specially trained doctors provided preventive healthcare assessments and counseling for families in addition to their traditional diagnostic and treatment services. Brown medical school's Family Medicine teaching program is anchored at Memorial Hospital, where residents undergo rigorous training in a wide variety of medical areas, including pediatrics, gerontology, surgery, emergency medicine, obstetrics, gynecology, internal and behavioral medicine. Throughout the three-year program, residents work directly with families in neighborhood health centers, private physician offices and as staff members of Memorial's Center for Primary Care and Prevention. In that capacity, they provide family planning services, assess learning disabilities, provide family crisis intervention and offer a full scope of traditional medical services.
