Douglas Hospital, Inc. was organized in 1992. 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.

Douglas Hospital is subordinate to, and subject to the authority of Wellstar Health System and its governing boards including the Hospital Authority of Douglas County. Wellstar Douglas provides a full range of inpatient and outpatient services characteristic of a community hospital. The hospital is licensed to operate 108 beds and is presently staffed to operate 102 beds. The original hospital was constructed in 1974 and has had three major structural additions since 1985.

Sponorships-- Wellstar's Laundry services Department partnered with a local homeless shelter, MUST Ministries, to donate retired and faded scrubs to new arrivals at the shelter. MUST have integrated housing programs in Cobb, Cherokee, and Douglas counties (the heart of Wellstar"s service area). Recognition and Accomplishments Douglas Hospital continues to be accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO). All of the Wellstar system hospitals (including Douglas) have been awarded "Accreditation with Distinction" by the Commission on Laboratory Accreditation of the College of American Pathologists (CAP). CAP awards are considered one of the most stringent in laboratory quality assurance in the industry. The Wellstar Cancer Program is accredited by the American College of Surgeons. The expansion of the cancer program has resulted in an increase in the services provided for cancer patients at both Douglas and Paulding Hospitals. The Wellstar Respiratory Care is accredited by the American Association for Respiratory Care with its "Recognition for Quality". Wellstar Health System is number five in the Top 100 Integrated Healthcare Networks as published by SDI. It is also the highest ranked integrated network in the state. Wellstar is named in the 100 Best Companies List by "Working Mothers" magazine and as a National Employer Team Member by AARP for its work on behalf of more mature workers within the organization. Wellstar was also named for a sixth year in a row to the Companies that Care Honor Roll. This distinction represents employers who create positive work environments for its employees and who are also active community partners. WellStar Douglas Hospital was awarded the Business Beautification Award for the month of July 2012 by Keep Douglasville Beautiful. The Keep Douglasville Beautiful Board of Directors presents the award to a local business each quarter throughtout the year for their efforts in community growth. In October WellStar completed the system-wide implementation of a new cleaning process called Xenex. The process uses 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 harmful bacteria and many other organisms. All hospitals have a least one machine in operation. WellStar Douglas Hospital's Neurodiagnostic/Electroencephalography (EEG) Laboratory was granted a five-year accreditation by the Laboratory Accreditation Board of the American Board of Registration of Electroencephalographic and Evoked Potential Technologists. The accreditation was based on an evaluation of the quality of the EEGs performed in the lab and on a review of the labs policy and procedures manual. 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 allows 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 does not have an on-site psychiatrist. 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 meet on a monthly basis to evaluate performance measures at the hospital. As many consumers research healthcare performance measures in sources such as Health Grades and US News and World Report as well as other online sites it is important to focus on improving the hospitals position in the public. Cobb, Douglas, Paulding and Windy Hill hospitals have also joined in this initiative at their respective hospitals. Douglas Hospital began construction during the reporting period on its Intensive Care Unit expansion and the Emergency Department renovation. The $18 million project is projected to be completed in late 2014 and will double the number of ICU beds. Plans also include relocating the cafeteria and new triage/treatment rooms in the Emergency Department. The project will add an additional 43,270 square feet to the campus and 10,702 square feet will be renovated. |

FORM 990, PART B, SECTION B, LINE 11B BOARD REVIEW OF FORM 990 Internal staff prepareS the organization's Form 990. Before filing the return with the Internal Revenue Service an external accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, reviews and sign-offs on the completed return of each organization. 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. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY 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 the 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. FORM 990, PART VII, SECTION B, LINES 15A & 15B COMPENSATION OF OFFICERS 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 trustees as well as the CEO in an advisory role and not a voting member. Further in committee discussions about the compensation for the Chief Executive Officer, The CEO will recuse him/herself from that process and 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 by the full Board of Trustees at its next scheduled meeting. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19 DOCUMENTS MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC 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.
