| CORE FORM, PART III, STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | Community Service Centers and Community Partnerships ---------------------------------------------------- JCMC has created a free, voluntary program called Wealth from Health ("WFH") to assist patients who suffer from chronic disease to be able to better self-manage through the support of physicians and support staff working in this program, as well as provide access to JCMC physicians and partnering FQHCs in the community. The Wealth from Health navigator team has become an integral part of the JCMC community activity calendar; there are biweekly or monthly health screenings at churches and joint events with the Jersey City Department of Health. In addition, the team participates with ShopRite to schedule nutritional oriented visits for members of the Wealth from Health program. The Wealth from Health team also met with school nurses at an area high school to implement a blood pressure screening event for staff and adolescents. For JCMC staff, WFH navigators have implemented in-house weight loss teams. WFH has also provided free of charge environmental home reviews for asthma triggers. As JCMC employees, members of the WFH program have also participated as volunteers for community half marathons, assembled teams for Walk-A-Thons for breast cancer, heart disease, epilepsy and infant health awards and designations. In 2014, JCMC joined with the Boys and Girls Club of Hudson County, in welcoming the first class of 125 freshmen to the new Great Futures High School for the Health Sciences - Jersey City's first academic institution dedicated exclusively to the health sciences. The school, which is a collaborative effort between the Boys and Girls Club of Hudson County and the JCMC, is a state-designated charter school providing students a foundation for post-secondary education or workforce readiness in certified health-related professions. Students will learn through integrated projects, case studies and online learning. Graduating students will be certified as emergency medical technicians or patient care technicians, and also encouraged to attend college in a health-related field. The idea for a health-oriented charter high school began to take shape about five years ago when the Boys and Girls Club of Hudson County formed an alliance with JCMC that allowed students to do internships with the hospital's staff. Those short-term educational opportunities have now been expanded into the Great Futures' curriculum. In each of the coming four years, the school will add a new class with total enrollment to reach 500 students. JCMC also conducts a special summer internship to immerse college and high school students in the world of health care while affording them a "real life" work experience. The program, in its fourth year in 2015, provided over 20 young people living in Jersey City, in addition to the children of hospital staff, a six-week paid internship in a specific hospital department, where they work under the direction of a dedicated manager. Students were assigned at the beginning of the program to an individual department based, if possible, on their interests including behavioral health, human resources, emergency department, emergency medical services, dietary, case management, pharmacy, patient access, speech pathology, dental staffing, same day surgery, physical therapy, operating room, physician practices, revenue management, public affairs and volunteer services. Additionally, they participate in weekly meetings with their peers to learn about other hospital services to broaden their experiences and future choices. Additional Community Building Activities undertaken by JCMC improve the medical and socioeconomic well-being of the communities in our care. This is accomplished through service on state and regional advocacy committees and boards, volunteerism with local community-based non-profit advocacy groups, and participation in conferences and other educational activities to promote understanding of the root causes of health concerns. JCMC provides educational materials, conducts community health fairs and holds health education seminars and outreach sessions for its patients and for community providers. Presentations are provided by physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals. We also provide to schools, senior centers and other community organizations programs about safety and trauma prevention including proper use of car seats, bicycle safety, and fall prevention for seniors. Several times a year working with local police departments, we provide this free educational service at local shopping centers, libraries and police department headquarters. The hospital holds an annual community meeting as required by the NJ Department of Health where the community can ask questions and give comments to the hospital leadership and board of trustees. Events & Classes ---------------- - Diabetes Self-Management Education for the Community; - Join us for a Conversation about Managing your Diabetes; - Prenatal Yoga; - Family & Friends CPR; - Family & Friends First Aid for Children; - A Day of Wellness Breast Cancer; - Car Seat Inspections & Education; - COPD Educational Program; - Baby Fair for New Parents; - "Dinner with the Doctor - Diabetes Fair; and - Role of Nutrition in Chronic Disease Management.

("BH") IS THE TAX-EXEMPT PARENT ENTITY OF BARNABAS HEALTH. BH'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES MAINTAINS AN EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ("COMMITTEE"). THE COMMITTEE HAS ADOPTED A WRITTEN EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY WHICH IT FOLLOWS WHEN IT REVIEWS AND APPROVES OF THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS OF BH'S SENIOR MANAGEMENT. THE COMMITTEE ALSO REVIEWS THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS OF OTHER KEY OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES OF BARNABAS HEALTH; INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF BARNABAS HEALTH HOSPITALS AND MEDICAL CENTERS. THE COMMITTEE, WHICH IS REQUIRED BY THE CORPORATION'S BYLAWS TO BE COMPRISED SOLELY OF INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES, SEEKS GUIDANCE AND SUBSTANTIATION FROM A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED COMPENSATION CONSULTANT. THE COMMITTEE REVIEWS THE "TOTAL COMPENSATION" OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHICH IS INTENDED TO INCLUDE BOTH CURRENT AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION AND ALL EMPLOYEE BENEFITS, BOTH QUALIFIED AND NON-QUALIFIED. THE COMMITTEE'S REVIEW IS DONE ON AT LEAST AN ANNUAL BASIS AND ENSURES THAT THE "TOTAL COMPENSATION" OF SENIOR MANAGEMENT OF THE ORGANIZATION IS REASONABLE. THE ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE COMMITTEE ENABLE THE ORGANIZATION TO RECEIVE THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS FOR PURPOSES OF INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 4958 WITH RESPECT TO THE TOTAL COMPENSATION OF CERTAIN MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM. THE THREE FACTORS WHICH MUST BE SATISFIED IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS ARE THE FOLLOWING: 1. THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT IS APPROVED IN ADVANCE BY AN "AUTHORIZED BODY" OF THE APPLICABLE TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION WHICH IS COMPOSED ENTIRELY OF INDIVIDUALS WHO DO NOT HAVE A "CONFLICT OF INTEREST" WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT; 2. THE AUTHORIZED BODY OBTAINED AND RELIED UPON "APPROPRIATE DATA AS TO COMPARABILITY" PRIOR TO MAKING ITS DETERMINATION; AND 3. THE AUTHORIZED BODY "ADEQUATELY DOCUMENTED THE BASIS FOR ITS DETERMINATION" CONCURRENTLY WITH MAKING THAT DETERMINATION. THE COMMITTEE IS COMPRISED OF MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES EACH OF WHO ARE INDEPENDENT AND ARE FREE FROM ANY CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. THE COMMITTEE RELIED UPON APPROPRIATE COMPARABLE DATA; SPECIFICALLY THE COMMITTEE OBTAINED A WRITTEN COMPENSATION STUDY FROM AN INDEPENDENT FIRM WHICH SPECIALIZES IN THE REVIEW OF HOSPITAL AND HEALTHCARE SYSTEM EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. THIS STUDY USED COMPARABLE GEOGRAPHIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC MARKET DATA INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, SIMILARLY SIZED HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS AND HOSPITALS, # OF LICENSED BEDS AND NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. THE COMMITTEE ADEQUATELY DOCUMENTED THE BASIS FOR ITS DETERMINATION THROUGH THE TIMELY PREPARATION OF WRITTEN MINUTES OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE MEETINGS DURING WHICH THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS WAS REVIEWED AND SUBSEQUENTLY APPROVED. THE ACTIONS OUTLINED ABOVE WITH RESPECT TO THE COMMITTEE AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS APPLIES TO CERTAIN BH SENIOR MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL. THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS OF CERTAIN OTHER INDIVIDUALS CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 990, WHERE APPLICABLE, ARE REVIEWED ANNUALLY BY THE BARNABAS HEALTH PRESIDENT/CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER WITH ASSISTANCE FROM THE ORGANIZATION'S HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE INDIVIDUAL'S JOB PERFORMANCE DURING THE YEAR AND IS BASED UPON OTHER OBJECTIVE FACTORS DESIGNED TO ENSURE THAT REASONABLE AND FAIR MARKET VALUE COMPENSATION IS PAID BY THE ORGANIZATION.
