Form and Line Reference	Explanation
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 5 Facility A, 1	Facility A, 1 - Via Christi Hospitals Wichita, Inc.. A random sample of 7,300 Sedgwick, Butler, Harvey, Reno and Sumner County households was selected. Pre-survey postcards were mailed via first class mail on January 7, 2013, informing potential respondents about the CHNA, asking them to watch for and complete their surveys and giving them the opportunity to request the survey in Spanish or Vietnamese, if preferred. In addition, in an effort to draw upon the recognition and reputation of individuals in Sedgwick, Butler, Harvey, Reno and Sumner Counties, community leaders were identified by nonprofit health and human services agencies by asking each executive director to identify up to ten community leaders they believed should be surveyed to gauge the community's pulse as it pertains to the area's health and human service needs. All community leaders identified by at least two agency executive directors were included in the survey research. They included nonprofit health and human services agencies executive directors, as well as Presidents/Chief Executive Officers of the area's largest employers, local elected and appointed government officials, Public School district superintendents and Board Presidents were invited to participate. Surveys were mailed out to 511 community leaders and the response rate was 28.1 percent. To get a feeling of real community needs that are being addressed by local not-for-profit and government agencies, using the United Way of the Plains 2-1-1 database, United Way of Reno County contact list and the membership list of the Coalition of Community Health Clinics for Wichita-Sedgwick County, 262 Executive Directors of programs dealing with poor and/or vulnerable populations were asked to participate in the survey effort. The response rate from this target group was 32.6 percent.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 6a Facility A, 1	Facility A, 1 - Via Christi Hospitals Wichita, Inc.. Via Christi Hospital St. Teresa, Inc. (VCH-ST) is located on the west side of Wichita, Sedgwick County on a 120-Acre campus, the 144,000 square-foot hospital features: - 68 Private Patient Suites - 24/7 Emergency Room - 6 State of the art operating rooms - Diagnostic imaging and laboratory services - Inpatient Pharmacy - Critical Care Unit - Orthopedics and Inpatient Rehab - Cardiovascular Care Via Christi Rehabilitation Hospital, Inc. (VCRH)serves patients in regaining their functional independence following a major illness, trauma or surgery. The specialized facility offers comprehensive inpatient and outpatient therapy for children, including toddlers, and adults, and provides rehabilitation treatment for stroke, spinal cord injuries, limb loss, orthopedic issues and brain injuries.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 6b Facility A, 1	Facility A, 1 - Via Christi Hospitals Wichita, Inc.. The three focus areas of the United Way of the Plains (UWP) is education, income and health. They have been conducting community needs assessments since 1985 and are seen as the leader in assessments in the South Central Kansas area. It seemed like a natural choice to join forces with them and the Sedgwick County Health Department in conducting our CHNA. UWP is a not-for-profit organization whose primary roles include community planning, social service coordination and an annual community-wide fundraising campaign in order to allocate donations to address community needs through agency partnerships. Their mission is to mobilize resources to meet community needs. Sedgwick County Health Department (SCHD) provides services to protect and improve the community's health, focusing their resources in four divisions: children and family health, health protection, preventive health and public health performance. Under children and family health they provide the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program which served on average 12,059 per month. They also offer a Health Babies Program that served 783 aults and 602 children connecting a large majority of them to a medical home. The Children's Dental Clinic provided services to 364 unduplicated clients (between ages 5-15) by providing screenings to over 16,700 children. In addition, they held more than 250 mobile clinics offering 2,547 clients more than 4,000 immunizations. SCHD conducted a MAPP assessment in late 2015 in which volunteers went door-to-door asking specific health related questions and Via Christi Hospitals participated in this outreach effort to make sure the unusual voices could be heard in addition to the households that would be receiving mailed CHNA surveys in early 2016. SCHD served on the CHNA Planning Committee and assisted in developing the survey which would be distributed throughout Wichita/Sedgwick County and neighboring counties. Their participation was through planning meetings and hosting of the MAPP process.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility A, 1	Facility A, 1 - Via Christi Hospital Wichita, Inc.. Major health needs identified in Latest CHNA and being addressed by Via Christi Hospital Wichita, Inc. (VCH-W)include: Health Insurance - VCH-W provides treatment to all people who come in needing assistance, regardless of their ability to pay. However, once in the door, a case manager will work with each patient to see if they qualify for traditional charity care and/or a government program if and if they do, the patient is signed up immediately and strongly encouraged to find a medical home if they do not currently have one. In addition, the leadership team at VCH-W and its board of directors, continues to be a strong proponent in the need to expand Medicaid across Kansas. Affordable health care, in our Catholic tradition, should be a right given to all but especially for those who are poor and vulnerable. VCH-W continues to offer charity care to the poor, takes care of those who are recipients of Medicaid and Medicare knowing that the government will not be paying the full cost of that care. Basic Medical Care for Low-Income - VCH-W, like all VCH hospitals, work with the patient and/or their family to make sure they receive treatment when presenting at the hospital. Prior to discharge, a case manager identifies basic medical care options with the patient/caregiver and provides them with application forms and contact numbers. In addition, if the patient needs assistance filling out the forms or is wanting more information, our case managers willing assist them to ensure a smooth transition including patient call back to see if recommendation have been followed. VCH-W feels strongly that basic medical care for all people is a right and responsibility of every community. People who are ill and denied medical care not only jeopardize their own health but may impact others who share their environment. Waiting until one is in crisis to seek medical care is not only dangerous but may have serious economic impact for families, health care providers and hospitals. VCH-W case managers work with patients to find medical homes prior to discharge from our hospital. Assistance with Prescriptions for Low-Income - Hospitalized inpatients, as well as clinic outpatients may be eligible to receive financial assistance in procuring their required medications. VCH-W currently operates a 340B drug pricing program on medication and pays an annual fee to be a Dispensary of Hope Pharmacy as well. In addition, VCH-W continues to look for new ways to procure medication discounts for all patients whether they are being discharged from one of our hospitals or is getting outpatient treatment in one of its clinics. Child Abuse Prevention/Education - Children who are victimized may require immediate medical treatment, but their ordeal also has an impact on law enforcement officers, the judicial and correctional systems when their abuse is investigated, prosecuted and the accused are sentenced for their crime. Many young parents have limited first-hand experience with dealing with babies and as a result may inadvertently hurt their child even though they love that child. That is why VCH-W offers traditional parenting classes in addition to non-traditional training like Boot Camp for New Dads. In addition, VCH-W provides several different safety classes and/or services for protecting children (e.g. infant seat installation and give-away for low-income families, child bicycle safety classes and free helmets for low-income children, CPR for infants and children, etc.) Immunization of Adults/Children - the Kansas Department of Health and Environment reported 510 deaths in Kansas due to complications from influenza or pneumonia in 2014. In 2015, VCH required all employees to get one in order to further protect patients and their workforce as a condition of employment. Those who chose not to participate for religious purposes were required to wear protective face masks to prevent spreading any possible germs they may be carrying and/or to keep them from getting more exposed to the disease through their work schedules. Human Trafficking Prevention/Education - Human trafficking is the fastest-growing criminal industry in the world today. Traffickers use force, fraud or coercion to enslave their victims into situations involving sexual exploitation or forced labor. VCH-W has become a national model for Ascension Health in dealing with this vulnerable population. Since VCH-W first initiated this program, over 40 victims have been identified and assisted. The Human Trafficking program staff is working closely with local and state law enforcement agencies and VCH-W's Forensic Nursing Program to address the needs of those identified as victims in our clinics or emergency rooms. Other agencies, in Sedgwick County, are also focusing attention and resources on this issue in hopes of educating more businesses on how to recognize possible victims. VCH-W staff, working with a national leader on the subject, has developed tools which are then distributed throughout the Ascension Health ministries for national awareness of victims. Family Violence Prevention - affects people in all stages of life regardless of race, religion, economic status or age. When VCH-W treats these victims in the Emergency Department, it goes to great lengths to separate the victims from their abusers and to encourage the victims that help is available. ED clinical staff work very closely with their social work and security departments to keep victims safe and offer them immediate referrals to organizations in the community whose sole purpose is to help these women and their children escape this environment. Food Assistance - VCH-W provides nutrition to those who are poor and vulnerable in several ways. Associates participate in food drives throughout the year, primary caregivers who family member is an inpatient and are identified as low-income and in need of proper nutrition are given free meal tickets to ensure they are able to maintain their strength while assisting with the care of their loved one. Case managers, who are aware of the patient (and many times their family) needs, will assist in getting thye patient signed up for Medicaid and/or Food Stamps if they determine the patient meets the criteria. The patient is also given information about community resources to assist with food needs until government assistance is available. VCH-W hospital also reviews the menu choices available to their employees to ensure proper nutrition is a standard throughout their ministries. Sexual Assault Prevention/Education - VCH-W supports the work of the many agencies in the community, funded by United Way, that address this problem through their One Community Campaign and they certainly work closely when victims are identified when brought to the Emergency Department for medical treatment. VCH-W's Forensic Nursing program is located on the St. Joseph campus and works collaborateively with all victims of sexual assault by providing immediate medical care, forensic examinations, advocacy, patient follow-up and assistance with criminal justice services. These forensic nurses provide care to approximately 350 patient a year. Counseling/Mental Health Services - VCH-W has a specially equipped Emergency Department unit designed to protect patients who are brought in by law enforcement, families or friends who are having a behavioral health crisis. Once the patient is stabilized, VCH-W staff work with COMCARE to get the person evaluated and processed for further care. VCH-W will also provide transportation to an appropriate psychiatric facility when required. In addition, VCH-W staff participate on numerous community boards (e.g. Grace Med Health, Gaudalupe Clinic, Heartspring, United Way, Newman University and others) to ensure that people who are medically vulnerable or are indigent can get access to health care when needed. Needs Not Being Addressed by VCH-W Preparing Young People for the Workforce - VCH-W does offer some volunteer opportunities for youth but has limited resources to work with youth in preparing them to join the workforce. It does sponsor the St. Gianni Academy which is a competitive high school program for junior and senior students attending Bishop Carroll and Kapaun/Mt Carmel High Schools who intent to be pre-med majors in college. These students do receive credit for their work in the Academy as they learn about the various health care professions that are available to them after completing college. Tutoring for Children/Youth at Risk of Failure - VCH-W does participate on a community committee that deals with this issue but isn't directly involved in tutoring children. There are several organizations in town who are focusing on this community priority. No actions were taken during the tax year related to the entities most recently conducted CHNA given the CHNA was adopted at the end of the tax year.

Schedule H, Part III, Line 1 BAD DEBT IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATEMENT NO. 15	VCH-W REPORTS BAD DEBT IN ACCORDANCE WITH GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (GAAP). HEALTHCARE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT STATEMENT NO. 15 IS FOLLOWED TO THE EXTENT THAT IT ALIGNS WITH THE GUIDELINES SET FORTH BY GAAP.
Schedule H, Part I, Line 6a NAME OF RELATED ORGANIZATIONS THAT PREPARED THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT	Via Christi Health, Inc. produces a consolidated annual report for all ministries in their periodical magazine called "Via Christi Life". Within the report, several pages describe the Community Benefit activities that have taken place over the last year and the monetary value to the Wichita area. Community Benefit Report: Via Christi Hospitals Wichita, Inc. ("VCH-W") is a member of Via Christi Health, Inc. ("VCH"). As a Catholic health system, VCH-W has its origins in faith-based responses to health needs of our communities, with a particular concern for those living in poverty and who are vulnerable. The obligation to reach out to those in need and improve community health flows directly from our identity as a faith-based healing ministry. As a mission-driven organization, we provide community benefit because we are committed to our core values of: - Service of the Poor - Generosity of spirit, especially for persons most in need. - Reverence - Respect and compassion for the dignity and diversity of life. - Integrity - Inspiring trust through personal leadership. - Wisdom - Integrating excellence and stewardship. -Creativity - Courageous innovation. - Dedication - Affirming the hope and joy of our ministry. According to the VCH-W mission statement, "As a part of Via Christi Health, Inc., we share this mission: Inspired by the Gospel and our Catholic tradition, we serve as a healing presence with special concern for our neighbors who are vulnerable." The financial information in this report was prepared in accordance with the Catholic Health Association's (CHA) A Guide for Planning and Reporting Community Benefit Guidelines (2012). Per these guidelines, we report the net expense for community benefit services (e.g. the total community benefit expense minus any associated revenue from patients, residents, payers and other external sources). The CHA guidelines reflect a conservative approach to reporting quantifiable community benefit. The goal of the guidelines is to produce community benefit financial reports that reflect true costs and that describe community benefit activities that increase access to health care and improve community health for all. The following are VCH-W's definitions for quantifiable community benefits reports. Charity Care - free or discounted health services provided to persons who cannot afford to pay and who meet VCH's criteria for financial assistance. Charity care is reported in terms of costs, not charges. Charity care does not include bad debt. Government Sponsored Means-Tested Health Care - includes unpaid costs of public programs for low-income persons. The shortfall created when VCH receives payments that are less than the cost of caring for public program beneficiaries. This payment shortfall is not the same as a contractual allowance, which is the full difference between charges and government payments. For Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2016 Community Benefit: 1. Charity Care, at cost: $35.6 million 2. Government Sponsored Health Care, net expense: Unpaid cost of public indigent care programs (includes Medicaid, SCHIP and other safety net programs; does not include Medicare shortfall): ($10.1) million 3. Community Benefit programs, net expense: $22.8 million 4. Total Quantifiable Community Benefit: $48.3 million
Schedule H, Part I, Line 6a Community benefit report prepared by related organization	Via Christi Health, Inc.
Schedule H, Part I, Line 7g Subsidized Health Services	Subsidized health services - Net losses by the VCH-W Family Practice Cinics, Specialty Clinics, Forensic Nursing Program, Transitional Clinic, Community Cares Clinic, Heart Failure Clinic and Via Christi Inn.
Schedule H, Part I, Line 7 Costing Methodology used to calculate financial assistance	The cost of providing charity care, means tested government programs, and community benefit programs is estimated using internal cost data, and is calculated in compliance with Catholic Health Association (CHA) guidelines. The organization uses a cost accounting system that addresses all patient segments (for example: inpatient, outpatient, emergency room, private insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, unisured, or self-pay). The best available data was used to calculate the amounts reported in the table. For certain categories in the table, this was a cost accounting system; in other categories, such as financial assistance and Medicaid, a specific cost-to-charge ratio was calculated and applied.
Schedule H, Part II Community Building Activities	As active members of the chamber and other networking coalitions, staff is in position to assist in the recruitment of new health care providers wanting to move into the geographic area resulting in more access to healthcare providers for all residents. In addition, engaging in community building organizations that increase economic development in the area, provide community support, provide leadership development and training for community members and promote workforce development, also helps to encourage young professionals to look at the variety of health care career options available to them through area colleges and technical schools. Via Christi Hospitals Wichita, Inc., offers high school youth a specific program - St. Gianna's Academy, which allows pre-med science majors an opportunity to see first hand the various health care career choices they can make once they graduate from high school. Involvement in this program has resulted in over 75% of the students becoming health care professionals (doctors, nurses, physical therapists, pharmacists, etc.).
Schedule H, Part III, Line 2 Bad debt expense - methodology used to estimate amount	Bad debt expense at cost is determined using the same cost-to-charge ratio that is used for charity care and Medicaid shortfall. VCH-W follows the guidance from CHA and does not consider bad debt as a community benefit.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 3 Bad Debt Expense Methodology	VCH-W has a very robust financial assistance program; therefore, no estimate is made for bad debt attributed to financial assistance eligible patients.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 4 Bad debt expense - financial statement footnote	From the audited financial statements of Ascension Health Alliance (which include the activity of Via Christi Hospitals Wichita, Inc.): The provision for doubtful accounts is based upon management's assessment of expected net collections considering historical experience, economic conditions, trends in healthcare coverage, and other collection indicators. Periodically throughout the year, management assesses the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical write-off experience by payor category, including those amounts not covered by insurance. The results of this review are then used to make any modifications to the provision for doubtful accounts to establish an appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts. After satisfaction of amounts due from insurance and reasonable efforts to collect from the patient have been exhausted, the System follows established guidelines for placing certain past-due patient balances with collection agencies, subject to the terms of certain restrictions on collection efforts as determined by the System. Accounts receivable are written off after collection efforts have been followed in accordance with the System's policies. The methodology for determining the allowance for doubtful accounts and related write-offs on uninsured patient accounts has remained consistent with the prior year. VCH-W's bad debt deduction was $12,113,560 at charges and $2,588,619 at cost (after the cost to charge ratio was applied to the amount of charges).
Schedule H, Part III, Line 8 Community benefit & methodology for determining medicare costs	VCH-W follows the CHA guidelines regarding Medicare and does not include it as community benefit. However, the methodology described in the instructions to Schedule H, Part III, Section B, and Line 7 for reporting Medicare shortfall does not take into account all costs incurred by VCH-W and does not represent the total Medicare shortfall. The Medicare shortfall reported on Schedule H, Part III, Section B, and Line 7 was determined using information from the organization's Medicare cost report, using the Medicare cost report step-down methodology of allocating costs. However, utilizing an internal cost accounting system actually results in a Medicare shortfall of $2,342,061. The most common reason for a difference between the Medicare shortfall reported on schedule h and the actual shortfall reported above include: inclusion of Medicare advantage revenue and expenses; inclusion of Medicare Part B revenue and expenses; inclusion of other fee schedule revenue; other timing issues; and costs that are considered unallowable on the Medicare cost report that are, in fact, related to Medicare Patient care.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 9b Collection practices for patients eligible for financial assistance	It is the policy of VCH-W to promote socially just practices for billing and collections for all patients receiving care. The policy is intended to further VCH-W's mission by requiring ethical conduct in billing and collecting self-pay balances from patient/guarantor's regardless of ability to pay. The policy ensures that prior to turning an account over to a Third Party Collection Agent (Agent) for collection activity, VCH-W will perform a reasonable review of each account to verify that the patient/guarantor is not potentially eligible for any government assistance programs (e.g.: Medicaid, Medicare, etc.) and would likely not qualify for charity care. VCH-W will direct its staff and Agents to periodically assess each patient/guarantor's ability to pay or to determine eligibility for charity care. The review and assessment should include but may not be limited to the following: A. Ensure the patient/guarantor has been notified of VCH-W's financial assistance policy; B. Ensure the patient/guarantor was offered a financial assistance application; C, Ensure documentation of any known extraordinary financial circumstances of the patient/guarantor or if they are medically indigent.

Schedule H, Part VI, Line 2 Needs assessment	In addition to the CHNAs conducted every 3 years by the hospital, VCH-W makes use of other research conducted in the community (e.g. Sedgwick County Health Department's annual plan, the United Way's Environmental Scan, up-to-date downloads from the Census Bureau, as well as Kansas University's Institute for Policy and Social Research). Specific research may be conducted when applying for grants and targeted research focusing on patients who come into our Emergency Rooms and/or other departments are useful in looking at population health trends.
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 3 Patient education of eligibility for assistance	1. Via Christi Hospitals Wichita's (VCH-W) financial assistance staff is trained on how to qualify patients for Medicaid, SCHIP and other such income-based programs. During the patient's registration, admissions and discharge processes, VCH-W attempts to identify patients who may be eligible for charity or discounted care through the charity care policy. In addition, VCH-W uses a percentage of the Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG) to determine free and discounted care.
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 4 Community information	The primary county for Via Christi Hospitals Wichita, Inc. includes. Sedgwick County has a land area of 998 square miles with an estimated 2015 population of 511,574. Sedgwick County's racial breakout includes 80.8% white, 9.5% Black, 1.4% American Indian, 4.5% Asian and 14.1% persons of Hispanic or Latino origin.

The median value of owner- occupied housing units, during the same time period in Sedgwick County, was $126,500. Sedgwick County reports 15.2% of its residents are below poverty level. The Statewide poverty level is around 13.0%.
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 5 Promotion of community health	VCH-W enriches the Wichita area through a community board, open medical staff, and taking care of patients regardless of their ability to pay. Community representation of the Governing Body - where the majority of its members are external members comprised of persons who reside in or around Sedgwick County and has overall responsibility for the charitable mission of the organization as set forth in its Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, These trustees represent areas of expertise in areas of healthcare, finance, education, and local government. The Board actively debates and sets policy and strategic direction for the ministry but does not get involved in issues related to daily operations. The Board takes a balanced approach when addressing community and business/financial concerns. The Board is also the primary group for determining the use of surplus funds generated by the organization, which are reinvested in the ministry in order to allow the ministry to sustain its mission and prepare for the future. Open Medical Staff - Total physician medical staff of 846, and 150 of these are Via Christi Clinic physicians. Primary care physicians and other clinical staff are providing medical home services to Medicare and Medicaid patients, especially those with multiple chronic diseases. Community Boards/Committees/Coalitions - VCH-W staff participates in the community on boards and committees of other not-for-profit organizations, government entities, foundations, area colleges and university committees, state-wide coalitions and national healthcare related not-for-profit organizations. Via Christi Hospitals Wichita, Inc. has representatives who regularly serve in some capacity to fulfill the missions of the following organizations located in Sedgwick County: Safe Kids Wichita Area Coalition, South Central Regional Trauma Council, Drowning Prevention Coalition, American Heart Association, StepStone and Dear Neighbor Board, Butler Community College Nursing Advisory Council, Central Plains Regional Healthcare Foundation, Kansas High School Athletic Association Sports Medicine Advisory Committee, YMCA Board, Family Life/Natural Family Planning Committee, Grace Med Clinic, Guadalupe Clinic, Wichita Center for Graduate Medical Education, Independent Living Resource Center and more. VCH-W encourages participation of outside non-profit groups to use their ministries to promote their missions, such as Newman University and Wichita State University nursing students, employees of the State's Medicaid enrollment program, University of Kansas Psychiatry clerkship, American Red Cross blood donation program and others. In addition, VCH-W provides rent subsidies for Sedgwick County's EMS vehicles, GraceMed Clinic (FQHC), Ronald McDonald House, St. Gianna's Academy and other not-for-profit groups needing space to hold their meetings, trainings and/or routine work. VCH-W staff present numerous educational talks during the course of the year on various topics dealing with health related issues for news media wanting to inform the public about specific illnesses, breastfeeding clinics for new moms or newborns who are having difficulty in grasping the nursing technique, critical access hospitals and first responders who have to deal with burn victims, the general public on health prevention and wellness activities, students from grade school to college age on avoiding the spreading of the common cold, car seat check clinics, bicycle safety, appropriate touching, bullying, human trafficking, and workforce careers. VCH-W was presented with a Community Service Award by U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom for VCH-W staff training to help identify and help victims of human trafficking and for its groundbreaking work with health care providers and partnership with law enforcement. For review of VCH-W on this topic, go to http: www.viachristi.org/about-via-christi/mission/human-trafficking-initiative.
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 6 Affiliated health care system	VCH-W is an affiliate of Via Christi Health, Inc. (VCH) and Ascension Health. VCH's affiliates are large multi-faceted, integrated, not-for-profit ministries including hospital and non-hospital ministries (physician group practices, hospital organizations, research, home health, and durable medical equipment). These ministries work together to care for patients, joined by common systems and a philosophy of serving as a healing presence with special concern for our neighbors, especially those who are vulnerable. This community benefit happens through its focus on patient care, education and research. The organizations work together to serve their communities at the local regional, state and national level. Ascension Health Alliance, d/b/a Ascension (Ascension), is a Missouri nonprofit corporations formed on September 13, 2011. Ascension is the sole corporate member and parent organization of Ascension Health, a Catholic national health system consisting primarily of nonprofit corporations that own and operate local healthcare facilities, or Health Ministries, located in 23 States and the District of Columbia. Ascension is sponsored by Ascension Sponsor, a Public Juridic Person. The Participating Entities of Ascension Sponsor are the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul, St. Louise Province; the Congregation of St. Joseph; the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet; the Congregation of Alexian Brothers of the Immaculate Conception Province, Inc. - American Province; and the Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother of the Third Order of St. Francis of Assisi - US/Caribbean Province. Mission: The System directs its governance and management activities toward strong, vibrant, Catholic Health Ministries united in service and healing, and dedicates its resources to spiritually centered care which sustains and improves the health of the individuals and communities it serves. In accordance with the System's mission of service to those persons living in poverty and other vulnerable persons, each Health Ministry accepts patients regardless of their ability to pay. The System uses four categories to identify the resources utilized for the care of persons living in poverty and community benefit programs: -Traditional charity care includes the cost of services provided to persons who cannot afford healthcare because of inadequate resources and/or who are uninsured or underinsured. -Unpaid cost of public programs, excluding Medicare, represents the unpaid cost of services provided to persons covered by public programs for persons living in poverty and other vulnerable persons. -Cost of other programs for persons living in poverty and other vulnerable persons includes unreimbursed costs of programs intentionally designed to serve the persons living in poverty and other vulnerable persons of the community, including substance abusers, the homeless, victims of child abuse, and persons with acquired immune deficiency syndrome. -Community benefit consists of the unreimbursed costs of community benefit programs and services for the general community, not solely for the persons living in poverty, including health promotion and education, health clinics and screenings, and medical research. Discounts are provided to all uninsured patients, including those with the means to pay. Discounts provided to those patients who did not qualify for assistance under charity care guidelines are not included in the cost of providing care of persons living in poverty and other community benefit programs. The cost of providing care to persons living in poverty and other community benefit programs is estimated by reducing charges forgone by a factor derived from the ratio of each entity's total operating expenses to the entity's billed charges for patient care.
