| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | I. Introduction A. Market Based Organization Mission and Vision Franciscan Medical Group was founded in April 1999 to provide community based health care services. Since its inception, Franciscan Medical Group has focused on providing quality health care to all members of their community regardless of ability to pay for services. Community service has always been at the core of our activity. B. Community Benefit Approach Franciscan Medical Group clinics provide services across a large geography of south Puget Sound in Washington State, serving a diverse population in our service area. Franciscan Medical Group provides services to patients regardless of race, creed, sex, national origin, handicap or ability to pay. The programs and services described throughout this document not only serve the community but also reduce the burden on governmental programs, i.e. Medicare and Medicaid. Without the charity care provided by Franciscan Medical Group clinics, the community charity care cases would fall upon the more expensive emergency rooms in local hospitals, including those operated by local government. Franciscan Medical Group has over 367 physicians and 182 APC's located in over 135 clinics and hospitals with annual patient visits of 2,581,303. II. Quantitative Description of Community Benefit: Uncompensated Care As described below, Franciscan Medical Group provided a significant level of charity care services to those with limited or an inability to pay. To the extent Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement is below cost, Franciscan Medical Group recognizes these amounts as the uncompensated cost of providing care. As mentioned above, Franciscan Medical Group provides services to patients regardless of race, creed, sex, national origin, handicap, or ability to pay. Most physician groups in the State of Washington have either partially or fully closed their practices to new Medicare and Medicaid patients as the reimbursement for these programs has increasingly fallen short of the cost of providing that care. Although reimbursement for services rendered is critical to the operation and stability of Franciscan Medical Group, not all individuals possess the ability to purchase essential medical services and our mission is to serve the community by providing health care services and health care education. Therefore, in keeping with Franciscan Medical Group's commitment to serve all members of its community, we provide care to persons covered by governmental programs - although the cost of providing that care exceeds governmental program reimbursement. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016, the cost of uncompensated Medicare care amounted to $55.6 million; for Medicaid it amounted to $41.5 million; Charity care totaled $ 499,779 for the year. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a Program Service AccomplishmentS-Community Benefit | III. Qualitative Description of Community Benefit A. Community Outreach for the Poor and the Broader Community Activities offered include wellness programs, community education programs, special programs for terminally ill patients, and a broad variety of community support activities. Franciscan Medical Group provides charity care for person who are poor. Charity care is also provided through many reduced price services and free programs offered throughout the year based upon activities and services which Franciscan Medical Group believes serve a bona fide community health need. These include community education service cost for the community, classes for children that cover health care topics, emergency response, fire safety, bike and traffic safety, photo and fingerprinting, electrical safety, seat belts and other care safety, and other community health topics. Franciscan Medical Group and its members partner closely with Project Access of Pierce County. In 2016 approximately $2,030,514 was donated in care from CHI/FMG facilities for 227 patients. There were a total of 1,122 patient visits. It is significant to note that all of the Franciscan Medical Group primary care clinics operate in communities designated by the US Department of Health as medically underserved areas for access to primary care.

| Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy | Catholic Health Initiatives ("CHI") has a Conflicts of Interest ("COI") policy in place to maintain the integrity of all of its activities. The policy applies to CHI Board of Stewardship Trustees and members of its committees; all board and board committee members of CHI Entities; all CHI employees; all CHI physicians (both employed and non-employed) and all physician administrators and leaders; advanced practice clinicians (both employed and non-employed); and all CHI research personnel (both employed and non-employed). Disclosure, review and management of perceived, potential or actual conflicts of interest are accomplished through a defined COI disclosure process. Each person has a general ongoing obligation to promptly and fully report to his/her direct manager, supervisor, medical staff office, board or board committee chair any situation or circumstance that may create a conflict of interest. The person must report the actual or potential conflict as soon as she/he becomes aware of it. In any situation where the person may be in doubt, a full disclosure should be made to permit an impartial and objective determination. In addition to the general ongoing obligation, there are initial disclosure obligations. The board, board committee members, and new employees are required to make disclosures at the time of their initial hiring/appointment. All non-employed, credentialed or contracted physicians are required to make disclosures at the time of their credentialing and during any subsequent reappointment or recredentialing. All researchers are required to make disclosures upon consideration of affiliation with a research sponsor. In addition to the general ongoing and initial disclosure obligations, there is an annual disclosure obligation. All corporate officers, board and board committee members, employees at the level of manager and above, researchers, supply chain employees, employed physicians, physician administrators and leaders, and employed advanced practice clinicians must complete a new conflict of interest disclosure annually. Disclosures of perceived, potential or actual conflicts involving financial interests are forwarded to the Conflicts of Interest Review Committee ("C-CIRC") or Legal Services Group for review depending on the position of the person involved. The C-CIRC reviews COI questionnaires containing disclosures of perceived or possible conflicts for employees at a level of manager or above, supply chain employees, researchers and physicians, physician administrators and leaders, and advanced practice clinicians (both employed and non-employed). In the determination of a conflict, a COI management plan will be developed for that person. With respect to those audiences for which the C-CIRC has review responsibility, the C-CIRC will facilitate development of any such conflict of interest management plan in collaboration with local CRP staff. A designated CHI Entity staff will be responsible for monitoring the COI management plan and for documenting monitoring activities. At its sole discretion, a CHI Entity may reject a Person's request to enter into the relationship in question, or require the relationship be sufficiently altered to avoid a potential COI. If the C-CIRC determines that there is a potential or actual conflict of interest that does not currently have appropriate controls to address the conflict of interest, it may recommend that the disclosing person be allowed to participate in the activity or transaction subject to restrictions as outlined in the COI management plan. If a Person does not agree with a determination made by the C-CIRC, its interpretation of the Policy or Addenda, or seeks an exemption or exception, the following steps should be followed. The Employee disputing the review decision, interpretation of the Policy, or seeking exemption or exception must present the matter to the Employee's immediate direct manager or supervisor for review and determination. If the Employee and the manager do not agree with the review decision, interpretation of the Policy, or seek exemption or exception, the manager shall consult with the manager's Vice President (or higher if the manager is a Vice President) to reach a determination. If the matter remains unresolved, it shall be referred to the CHI Vice President of Human Resources and the CHI Corporate Responsibility Officer. If they are unable to reach agreement, the matter shall be referred to the CHI General Counsel, whose decision shall be final. Reviews and determinations involving board and board committee members and corporate officers will be the responsibility of the board, board executive committee, or board chair, with guidance from the Legal Services Group (LSG). Annual COI disclosures of all trustee and corporate officers will be reviewed by the CHI Senior Vice President, Legal Services, and General Counsel or his or her designee who will report potential conflicts to the applicable Board Chair. The Board Chair or designee shall make such further investigation of any conflict of interest disclosures as he or she may deem appropriate. If the conflict involves the Board Chair, the Vice Chair will assume the Chair's role. Based on review and evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances, the Board Chair will make an initial determination as to whether a conflict of interest exists and whether, pursuant to the COI Policy, review and approval or other action by the Board is required. A written record of the Board Chair's determination, including relevant facts and circumstances, will be made. The Board Chair shall then make an appropriate report to the Executive Committee of the Board concerning such review, evaluation and determination. If a difference of opinion exists between the Board Chair and another Trustee as to whether the facts and circumstances of a given situation constitute a conflict of interest or whether Board review and approval or other action is required within the COI Policy, the matter shall be submitted to the Board's Executive Committee, which shall make a final determination as to the matter presented. Such determination, including relevant facts and circumstances, will be reflected in the Executive Committee minutes and will be reported to the Board. When any conflict of interest is considered by the board, the trustee or corporate officer, as appropriate, must disclose all of the material facts to the Board. The trustee shall not vote and the trustee or corporate officer shall not use his or her personal influence on the matter. The trustee or corporate officer shall be excused from the meeting during discussion and vote on the conflict of interest. In reviewing such transactions between CHI or CHI Entities and vendors or other contractors who are, or are affiliated with, Trustees or Corporate Officers, the Board will act as it would in reviewing transactions with unrelated third parties. The transaction is not to be approved unless the Board determines that the transaction is fair to CHI or the CHI Entity. The Board must approve the transaction by a majority of the Trustees on the Board, without counting the vote of any individual who has an interest in the transaction. All determinations of conflicts of interest are reported as required by law, regulations, and CHI policy. |
