PART V, SECTION B, LINE 2	ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2014, SHC ENTERED INTO AN AFFILIATION AGREEMENT WITH VCHS, WHICH WILL ADVANCE LEADING EDGE AND HIGHLY COORDINATED CARE IN THE BAY AREA. UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, SHC WAS SUBSTITUTED AS THE SOLE CORPORATE MEMBER OF VCHS WITH THE ASSOCIATED CONTROL OF VCHS, INCLUDING VALLEY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL ("VMH"), VALLEYCARE MEDICAL CENTER ("VCMC"), VALLEYCARE MEDICAL FOUNDATION ("VCMF"), AND VALLEYCARE SENIOR HOUSING, INC. ("VCSH"). ON MAY 18, 2015, WITH ALL CONDITIONS OF THE AFFILIATION AGREEMENT SATISFIED AND ALL REGULATORY APPROVALS OBTAINED, THE AFFILIATION BETWEEN VCHS AND SHC WAS CONSUMMATED AND BECAME EFFECTIVE. VCHS, WHICH OWNS VMH AND VCMC, AND WHICH IS THE MEMBER OF VCMF AND VCSH, BECAME A SUBSIDIARY OF SHC.
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5	VCHS COLLABORATED WITH KAISER FOUNDATION HOSPITAL WALNUT CREEK IN THE 2013 CHNA PROCESS. THE PROCESS INCLUDED COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF SECONDARY DATA ON HEALTH OUTCOMES, DRIVERS, CONDITIONS AND BEHAVIORS AS WELL AS COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS OF PRIMARY DATA THROUGH COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS WITH MEMBERS OF VULNERABLE POPULATIONS IN OUR SERVICE AREA. INPUT ON THE IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS, AND THE RELATIVE PRIORITY AMONG THEM, WAS GATHERED THROUGH A CONVENING OF PUBLIC AND COMMUNITY HEALTH LEADERS, ADVOCATES AND EXPERTS. THE RESULTING PRIORITIZED LIST REPRESENTS A COMMUNITY UNDERSTANDING THAT IS INFORMED BY BOTH DATA AND EXPERIENCE. VALLEYCARE HEALTH SYSTEM, ALONG WITH KAISER PERMANENTE WALNUT CREEK CONTRACTED WITH CAROLINE MCCALL DBA ARETE CONSULTING TO COMPLETE THE DATA ANALYSIS REQUIRED FOR THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT. MS. MCCALL ALSO DESIGNED AND FACILITATED PRIMARY DATA COLLECTION AND SUPPORTED A PRIORITIZATION SESSION THAT ENGAGED PUBLIC AND COMMUNITY HEALTH EXPERTS FROM THE TRI-VALLEY. MS. MCCALL SUBCONTRACTED WITH NANCY SHEMICK TO CONDUCT PRIMARY DATA COLLECTION IN SPANISH. THE MAJORITY OF THE SECONDARY DATA USED IN THIS CHNA WERE MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE KAISER PERMANENTE (KP) COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) DATA PLATFORM, POWERED BY THE CENTER FOR APPLIED RESEARCH AND ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS (CARES), AND THE INSTITUTE FOR PEOPLE, PLACES, AND POSSIBILITY (IP3). THESE DATA WERE ORGANIZED INTO SIX DISTINCT CATEGORIES: DEMOGRAPHICS, SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC FACTORS, PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT, CLINICAL CARE, HEALTH BEHAVIORS, HEALTH OUTCOMES. THE STATISTICIANS AT THE CENTER FOR APPLIED RESEARCH AND ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS (CARES) USED DATA FROM THE SOURCES LISTED ABOVE TO CREATE THE KAISER PERMANENTE CHNA DATA PLATFORM. THE PLATFORM ANALYSIS OF DATA BY GEOGRAPHIC AREAS IS LIMITED BY THE GEOGRAPHY FOR WHICH THE DATA WERE ORIGINALLY COLLECTED. HEALTH OUTCOMES DATA FROM THE PLATFORM WERE DOWNLOADED FOR ALAMEDA COUNTY, AND WHENEVER POSSIBLE, FOR THE COMMUNITIES IN THE TRI-VALLEY AREA. THESE DATA WERE COMPARED TO BENCHMARKS DEFINED EITHER BY HEALTHY PEOPLE 2020 OR STATE-LEVEL RATES. AFTER IDENTIFYING THOSE HEALTH OUTCOMES INDICATORS FOR WHICH THE POPULATION IN THE VCHS SERVICE AREA WERE SEEN TO COMPARE POORLY TO BENCHMARKS, ASSOCIATED INDICATORS OF HEALTH (HEALTH BEHAVIORS, CLINICAL CARE, PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC FACTORS) WERE REVIEWED AND ANALYZED TO SEE WHERE THESE INDICATORS ALSO SHOWED POOR PERFORMANCE RELATIVE TO BENCHMARKS. BASED ON THE COMBINED ANALYSIS DESCRIBED ABOVE, A SET OF COMMUNITY HEALTH CONCERNS WERE IDENTIFIED AND SERVED AS THE BASIS FOR A SERIES OF FACILITATED COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS AS DESCRIBED BELOW. COMMUNITY INPUT VCHS, IN COLLABORATION WITH KAISER FOUNDATION HOSPITAL WALNUT CREEK, COLLECTED COMMUNITY INPUT IN TWO FORMS. FIRST, THE FINDINGS REGARDING COMMUNITY HEALTH CONCERNS THAT HAD BEEN CULLED FROM THE SECONDARY DATA (AS DESCRIBED ABOVE) WERE DISCUSSED WITH GROUPS OF PEOPLE FROM UNDERSERVED, MINORITY AND LOW-INCOME POPULATIONS. THE DEFINED LIST OF COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS WAS SHARED AND DISCUSSED WITH A MEETING OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCY LEADERS WHO WERE ASKED TO DETERMINE RELATIVE PRIORITY AMONG THE NEEDS USING ESTABLISHED CRITERIA. THE SECOND MEANS OF GATHERING COMMUNITY INPUT WAS THROUGH A GROUP OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICE PROFESSIONALS WHO WERE GATHERED TO DISCUSS AND PRIORITIZE AMONG THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS THAT EMERGED FROM THE SYNTHESIS OF THE SECONDARY DATA AND COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS. THE STAKEHOLDER MEETING WAS HELD ON NOVEMBER 27, 2012. THE MEETING FORMAT INCLUDED AN OPENING PRESENTATION FOLLOWED BY SMALL GROUP AND LARGE GROUP DISCUSSIONS. PARTICIPANTS WERE PROVIDED WITH DEMOGRAPHIC DATA FOR EASTERN ALAMEDA COUNTY AS WELL AS HEALTH OUTCOMES DATA AND OTHER RELATED HEALTH INDICATORS FOR ALL OF THE HEALTH CONCERNS THAT EMERGED FROM ANALYSIS OF THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DATA. AS A RESULT OF THE SMALL AND LARGE GROUP CONVERSATIONS, THE STAKEHOLDERS OFFERED RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING THE RELATIVE PRIORITY OF EACH DEFINED COMMUNITY HEALTH NEED. AGENCY PARTICIPANTS LISTED BELOW: EAST BAY YOUTH & FAMILY INITIATIVES, TRI-VALLEY HAVEN, CITY OF LIVERMORE, ALAMEDA COUNTY HEALTH CARE SERVICES AGENCY, TRI-CITY HEALTH CENTER, OPEN HEART KITCHEN, HORIZONS FAMILY COUNSELING, SENIOR SUPPORT PROGRAM OF THE TRI-VALLEY, LIVERMORE AREA RECREATION AND PARK DISTRICT AND AXIS COMMUNITY HEALTH. COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS TWO GROUPS OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS WERE RECRUITED BY COMMUNITY AGENCIES SERVING THE RELEVANT POPULATIONS. ONE OF THE COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS WAS HELD AT AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND ENGAGED SPANISH-SPEAKING FEMALE PARENTS AND THE SECOND CONVERSATION INCLUDED LOW-INCOME COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO WERE RECRUITED THROUGH A COMMUNITY-BASED COUNSELING CENTER. PARTICIPANTS WERE RECRUITED FROM POPULATIONS WITH HIGH RATES OF POVERTY, LOW RATES OF HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION AND RELATIVELY LOW RATES OF INSURANCE COVERAGE.
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 6A	2013 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT WAS CONDUCTED THROUGH COLLABORATION BETWEEN VALLEYCARE HEALTH SYSTEM AND KAISER PERMANENTE WALNUT CREEK, BOTH OF WHICH SERVE THE TRI-VALLEY COMMUNITIES OF LIVERMORE, PLEASANTON AND DUBLIN (IN ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA).
PART V, SECTION B, LINES 7A/10A	URL AT WHICH THE CHNA AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY ARE AVAILABLE HTTP://WWW.VALLEYCARE.COM/ABOUT-COMMUNITY-BENEFITS.ASPX.
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11	OF THE 8 HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED BY THE CHNA PROCESS, VALLEYCARE HEALTH SYSTEM SELECTED THREE TO ADDRESS; PRIMARY CARE SERVICES AND INFORMATION (HEALTH LITERACY), INCLUDING ADEQUATE SPANISH CAPACITY, ASTHMA PREVENTION AND HEALTHY EATING. VALLEYCARE ADDRESSES THESE SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE CHNA PROCESS BY PARTNERING WITH COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS. FOR A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF VALLEYCARE'S COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND RESOURCES PROVIDED SEE THE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY AT HTTP://WWW.VALLEYCARE.COM/PDFS/CHNA-IMPLEMENTATIONSTRATEGY.PDF HEALTH NEEDS VALLEYCARE HEALTH SYSTEM DOES NOT INTEND TO ADDRESS THE REMAINING PRIORITIZED HEALTH NEEDS FOR THIS SERVICE AREA WILL NOT BE ADDRESSED BY VALLEYCARE HEALTH SYSTEM BECAUSE USING THE CRITERIA DESCRIBED PREVIOUSLY, THEY WERE NOT RANKED AS HIGH AS ACCESS TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE AND SERVICES, ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE, HEALTHY FOOD, ENSURING SAFE AND HEALTHY ENVIRONMENTS AND ACCESS TO PREVENTIVE HEALTH CARE SERVICES. VALLEYCARE HEALTH SYSTEM HAS UNIQUE RESOURCES AND CAPACITY TO DEDICATE TO THE CHOSEN HEALTH NEEDS. THE GROUP RECOGNIZED THAT THE NEEDS NOT SELECTED WOULD BE ADDRESSED IN SOME OF THE STRATEGIES DEVELOPED, AS A NUMBER OF THEM HAVE MULTIPLE OUTCOMES. IN ADDITION, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF EXISTING ORGANIZATIONS SPEARHEADING COMMUNITY-BASED INITIATIVES THAT ARE CURRENTLY ADDRESSING THE NEEDS BELOW. THE NEEDS THAT WILL NOT BE ADDRESSED ARE: ECONOMIC SECURITY, AFFORDABLE, LOCAL MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, AFFORDABLE, LOCAL SUBSTANCE ABUSE SERVICES, SPECIALTY CARE AND PARENTING SKILLS AND SUPPORT.
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 22D	PATIENTS WITH PROVEN FAMILY INCOME AT OR EQUAL TO 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL WILL RECEIVE FULL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. IN COMPLIANCE WITH AB 774, PATIENTS WITH A PROVEN FAMILY INCOME OF MORE THAN 200%, UP TO 350% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL, WILL RECEIVE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DISCOUNT EQUAL TO THE MEDI-CAL CONTRACTUAL ALLOWANCE APPLICABLE TO THE SERVICE PERIOD. LINES 22A-C DO NOT APPLY AS WE CHARGE MUCH LESS THAN OUR NEGOTIATED RATES.

Form and Line Reference	Explanation
PART I, LINE 6:	VALLEYCARE HEALTH SYSTEM (VCHS) HAS PROVIDED HIGH-QUALITY, NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTH CARE TO THE TRIVALLEY AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES SINCE 1961. THROUGH HIGHLY SKILLED PHYSICIANS, NURSES AND STAFF AND STATE-OF-THE ART TECHNOLOGY, VALLEYCARE OFFERS A WIDE RANGE OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES AT ITS LIVERMORE, PLEASANTON AND DUBLIN MEDICAL FACILITIES. VALLEYCARE IS NOT PUBLICLY OWNED OR OPERATED, NOR IS IT SUPPORTED BY TAXES. VALLEYCARE REINVESTS ANY PROFITS IT MAKES INTO NEW SERVICES, EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES. A 11-MEMBER BOARD OF DIRECTORS, WHICH IS ELECTED BY ITS CORPORATE MEMBERS, GOVERNS THE VALLEYCARE CORPORATION. CORPORATE MEMBERS EXERCISE CERTAIN RESERVED RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO GOVERNANCE DECISIONS. UNDER STATE LAW SB 697, THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA REQUIRES ALL NON-PROFIT HOSPITALS IN CALIFORNIA TO COMPLETE AND SUBMIT AN ANNUAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT. ALTHOUGH HOSPITALS BRING NUMEROUS BENEFITS TO THEIR LOCAL ECONOMIES, THESE REPORTS ARE INTENDED TO DOCUMENT THE WAYS IN WHICH EACH HOSPITAL GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CORE FUNCTIONS OF A HOSPITAL TO SUPPORT THE HEALTH NEEDS OF ITS COMMUNITY. EVERY THREE YEARS, NON-PROFIT HOSPITALS IN CALIFORNIA MUST CONDUCT A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) TO IDENTIFY THE GREATEST HEALTH NEEDS AFFECTING THEIR RESPECTIVE COMMUNITIES. IN ADDITION TO THE STATE MANDATE, THE FEDERAL PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, ENACTED MARCH 23, 2010, REQUIRES TAX-EXEMPT HOSPITALS TO CONDUCT COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS (CHNA) AND TO ADOPT IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES TO MEET THE HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE ASSESSMENTS. THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS REPORT CAN BE FOUND ON OUR WEBSITE AT HTTP://WWW.VALLEYCARE.COM/ABOUT-COMMUNITY-BENEFITS.ASPX.
PART I, LINE 7:	RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES WAS USED TO CALCULATE THE AMOUNTS INCLUDED IN THE TABLE AT SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7.
PART III, LINE 2:	BAD DEBT EXPENSE ON THE INCOME STATEMENT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2015 WAS $19,243,948, WHICH IS AT CHARGES. BAD DEBT IS BASED ON REMAINING ACCOUNT BALANCE AFTER ANY DISCOUNTS OR PAYMENTS HAVE BEEN APPLIED. VCHS DOES NOT RECLASSIFY ANY BAD DEBT TO CHARITY UNLESS THE PATIENT QUALIFIES UNDER THE CHARITY CARE POLICY. A COST TO CHARGE RATIO WAS USED TO DETERMINE COST. PART III, LINE 3: VCHS DOES NOT CALCULATE THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF THE ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY.
PART III, LINE 4:	DUE TO THE AFFILIATION OF THE HOSPITAL COMMITTEE OF THE LIVERMORE-PLEASANTON AREAS AND SHC, THE FOOTNOTE TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BELOW APPEARS IN THE HOSPITAL COMMITTEE OF THE LIVERMORE-PLEASANTON AREAS 5/17/2015 AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. PER THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS OF APPROXIMATELY $16,071,000 AND $21,931,000 FOR THE PERIODS ENDED MAY 17, 2015 AND JUNE 30, 2014, RESPECTIVELY, REPRESENTS ESTIMATED UNCOLLECTIBLE CHARGES FOR SERVICES PROVIDED PRIMARILY TO SELF-PAY AND THE CO-PAYMENT PORTION OF PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE PATIENTS. PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, AMOUNTS PAYABLE TO THIRD-PARTY PAYORS AND NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE REDUCED BY AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTABILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, VCHS ANALYZES ITS PAST HISTORY AND IDENTIFIES TRENDS FOR EACH OF ITS MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS ON A CONSOLIDATED BASIS. MANAGEMENT REGULARLY REVIEWS DATA ABOUT THESE MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE IN EVALUATING THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WITH THIRD PARTY INSURANCE COVERAGE, VCHS ANALYZES CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND A PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS, IF NECESSARY (FOR EXAMPLE, FOR EXPECTED UNCOLLECTABLE DEDUCTIBLES AND COPAYMENTS ON ACCOUNTS FOR WHICH THE THIRD-PARTY PAYOR HAS NOT YET PAID, OR FOR PAYORS WHO ARE KNOWN TO BE HAVING FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES THAT MAKE THE REALIZATION OF AMOUNTS DUE UNLIKELY). FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SELF-PAY PATIENTS (THOSE WITHOUT THIRD-PARTY INSURANCE COVERAGE), AND RECEIVABLES REPRESENTING DEDUCTIBLES AND COPAYMENTS REQUIRED FROM PATIENTS BY THEIR INSURANCE PLANS, VCHS RECORDS A PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS IN THE PERIOD OF SERVICE ON THE BASIS OF ITS PAST EXPERIENCE, WHICH INDICATES THAT MANY PATIENTS ARE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PAY THE PORTION OF THEIR BILL FOR WHICH THEY ARE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE STANDARD RATES (OR DISCOUNTED RATES IF NEGOTIATED) AND THE AMOUNTS HISTORICALLY COLLECTED AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTIONS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IS THE ESTIMATED UNCOLLECTABLE RATE. THIS RATE IS APPLIED TO EXISTING ACCOUNTS TO RECORD AN ESTIMATE FOR UNCOLLECTABLE ACCOUNTS. VCHS'S SELF-PAY WRITE-OFFS BASED ON GROSS CHARGES WERE $10,947,000 AND $24,035,000 FOR THE PERIODS ENDED MAY 17, 2015 AND JUNE 30, 2014, RESPECTIVELY. VCHS HAS NOT CHANGED ITS CHARITY CARE OR UNINSURED DISCOUNT POLICIES DURING THE PERIODS ENDED MAY 17, 2015 AND JUNE 30, 2014. VCHS DOES NOT MAINTAIN A MATERIAL ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS FROM THIRD-PARTY PAYORS, NOR DID IT HAVE SIGNIFICANT WRITE-OFFS FROM THIRD PARTY PAYORS.
PART III, LINE 8:	THE METHODOLOGY DESCRIBED IN THE INSTRUCTIONS TO SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B, LINE 6 DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ALL COSTS INCURRED BY THE HOSPITAL AND DOES NOT REPRESENT THE TOTAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT CONFERRED IN THIS AREA. THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL OF $32,920,232 REFLECTED ON SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B WAS DETERMINED USING INFORMATION FROM THE ORGANIZATION'S MEDICARE COST REPORT. REASONS WHY MEDICARE SHORTFALL SHOULD BE TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT ARE: 1. ABSENT THE MEDICARE PROGRAM, IT IS LIKELY MANY OF THE INDIVIDUALS WOULD QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE OR OTHER MEANS-BASED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS, 2. BY ACCEPTING PAYMENT BELOW COST TO TREAT THESE INDIVIDUALS, THE BURDENS OF GOVERNMENT ARE RELIEVED WITH RESPECT TO THESE INDIVIDUALS, 3. THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT POSSIBILITY THAT CONTINUED REDUCTION ON REIMBURSEMENT MAY ACTUALLY CREATE DIFFICULTIES IN ACCESS FOR THESE INDIVIDUAL, AND 4. THE AMOUNT SPENT TO COVER THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL IS MONEY NOT AVAILABLE TO COVER CHARITY CARE OR OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFIT NEEDS.
PART III, LINE 9B:	THE AMOUNT DETERMINED AS CHARITY CARE IS NOT COLLECTED AND WRITTEN OFF TO CHARITY. IF A REDUCED RATE IS GIVEN, THE AMOUNT DETERMINED AS PATIENT BALANCE IS COLLECTED IN THE SAME MANNER AS ALL OTHER PATIENTS.
PART VI, LINE 2:	VCHS COLLABORATED WITH KAISER FOUNDATION HOSPITAL WALNUT CREEK IN THE 2013 CHNA PROCESS. THIS PROCESS BEGAN IN 2012 (NEXT CHNA WILL BE COMPLETED IN 2016 IN ALIGNMENT WITH IRS FINAL RULES). THE PROCESS INCLUDED COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF SECONDARY DATA ON HEALTH OUTCOMES, DRIVERS, CONDITIONS AND BEHAVIORS AS WELL AS COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS OF PRIMARY DATA THROUGH COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS WITH MEMBERS OF VULNERABLE POPULATIONS IN OUR SERVICE AREA. INPUT ON THE IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS, AND THE RELATIVE PRIORITY AMONG THEM, WAS GATHERED THROUGH A CONVENING OF PUBLIC AND COMMUNITY HEALTH LEADERS, ADVOCATES AND EXPERTS. THE RESULTING PRIORITIZED LIST REPRESENTS A COMMUNITY UNDERSTANDING THAT IS INFORMED BY BOTH DATA AND EXPERIENCE. THE GOAL WAS TO COLLECTIVELY GATHER COMMUNITY FEEDBACK, UNDERSTAND EXISTING DATA ABOUT HEALTH STATUS AND PRIORITIZE LOCAL HEALTH NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY.
PART VI, LINE 3:	VALLEYCARE HEALTH SYSTEM WILL INTERVIEW EACH PATIENT/GUARANTOR AND DETERMINE THE CAPABILITY TO MEET HIS/HER FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS FOR MEDICAL CARE. THOSE WHO ARE UNABLE TO MEET THE FINANCIAL OBLIGATION WILL FIRST BE SCREENED FOR POSSIBLE ELIGIBILITY UNDER STATE OR FEDERAL HEALTHCARE PROGRAMS. IF THEY DO NOT MEET STATE OR FEDERAL CRITERIA FOR HEALTHCARE BENEFITS, THEY WILL BE INTERVIEWED TO DETERMINE WHETHER THEY MEET THE CRITERIA FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, AS DEFINED IN THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE/CHARITY CARE POLICY.
PART VI, LINE 4:	THE TRI-VALLEY REGION IS BASED AROUND THE FOUR SUBURBAN CITIES OF LIVERMORE, PLEASANTON, DUBLIN AND SAN RAMON IN THE THREE VALLEYS FROM WHICH IT TAKES ITS NAME: AMADOR VALLEY, LIVERMORE VALLEY AND SAN RAMON VALLEY. LIVERMORE, PLEASANTON AND DUBLIN ARE IN ALAMEDA COUNTY, WHILE SAN RAMON IS IN CONTRA COSTA COUNTY. VALLEYCARE'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREA IS THE TRI-VALLEY. VALLEYCARE HAS FACILITIES IN PLEASANTON, LIVERMORE, AND DUBLIN. THE TRI-VALLEY ACCOUNTS FOR OVER 80% OF VALLEYCARE'S INPATIENT DISCHARGES. THE CURRENT POPULATION OF THE TRI-VALLEY IS ESTIMATED AS FOLLOWS: DUBLIN TOTAL POPULATION: 46,036 UNDER 18 YEARS OLD: 22% AGES 18-34: 28% AGES 35-64: 43% AGE 65+: 7% WHITE: 51% BLACK: 9% ASIAN: 27% HISPANIC: 14% PERCENT BELOW POVERTY: 3.5% PERCENT OVER AGE 25 WITH HS DIPLOMA OR EQUIVALENT: 92.5% LIVERMORE TOTAL POPULATION: 80,968 UNDER 18 YEARS OLD: 25% AGES 18-34: 21% AGES 35-64: 44% AGE 65+: 10% WHITE: 75% BLACK: 2% ASIAN: 8% HISPANIC: 21% PERCENT BELOW POVERTY: 6% PERCENT OVER AGE 25 WITH HS DIPLOMA OR EQUIVALENT: 92% PLEASANTON TOTAL POPULATION: 70,285 UNDER 18 YEARS OLD: 27% AGES 18-34: 15% AGES 35-64: 47% AGE 65+: 11% WHITE: 67% BLACK: 2% ASIAN: 23% HISPANIC: 10% PERCENT BELOW POVERTY: 4.2% PERCENT OVER AGE 25 WITH HS DIPLOMA OR EQUIVALENT: 94.9% SAN RAMON TOTAL POPULATION: 69,241 UNDER 18 YEARS OLD: 22% AGES 18-34: 18% AGES 35-64: 46% AGE 65+: 7% WHITE: 53% BLACK: 2% ASIAN: 36% HISPANIC: 10% PERCENT BELOW POVERTY: 3.6% PERCENT OVER AGE 25 WITH HS DIPLOMA OR EQUIVALENT: 97.2%
