Columbus Community Hospital (CCH) is a 47 bed acute care hospital which currently employs over 650 people. It is a significant, positive economic force for the Columbus area, returning dollars into the economy through local purchases by the organization and salaries that return to the community. It is an asset for the local communities where patients can obtain quality health care without the need to drive over 50 miles for care. CCH offers a variety of services that provide necessary care for area residents. Below is a brief summary of services offered by Columbus Community Hospital. - All 47 beds of the Hospital's acute care services are also certified as swing beds. - CCH provides certified, dedicated medical interpreters to assist non-English speaking patients. The interpreters are available in-house or on-call 24/7 and serve as a liaison between the care providers and the patient. - The Hospital provides ICU, medical surgical, OB and orthopedic services, along with a variety of complimentary ancillary services. These ancillary services include wound care, diabetic education and cardiac rehab and also include clinical pharmacy services. To enhance patient safety, CCH uses bar-coded medication administration, smart pumps and computerized physician order entry. - So that area residents can receive care close to home, CCH offers rehabilitative services that include physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy as well as a driver's rehabilitation program. The Hospital's Wiggles and Giggles Therapy for Kids offers pediatric physical, occupational and speech for children ranging in age from babies to adolescents. In November 2012, the Hospital began offering the STAR cancer rehabilitation program, which includes physical, occupational and speech therapies. The STAR acronym stands for Survivorship, Training and Rehabilitation and CCH is one of only three hospitals in Nebraska to have achieved STAR program certification. The Hospital's program therapists are all certified through the STAR program. Over 74 STAR program referrals have been received through local providers, resulting in consultation for potential rehabilitation needs. In addition to physical, occupational and speech therapy, some of the participants have benefitted from nutritional consultations as well as psychosocial referrals. In addition, some of these patients have needed care for pulmonary issues and cardiovascular concerns. Several STAR participants have graduated from the program and transitioned into the Hospital's medical wellness program. - Nurses in the Hospital's Same Day Services (SDS) Department prepare patients for surgery and care for patients in both the inpatient and outpatient setting. The Department oversees several outpatient procedures, including 90 to 100 endoscopy procedures each month. SDS nurses also administer blood transfusions and chemotherapy infusions. - CCH offers some of the most advanced imaging services including MRI, CT, Digital Mammography and ultrasound. Radiologists are on campus and/or available 24/7. All images are digital, and the dictation used by radiologists is voice recognized and becomes part of the digital image. - The Hospital's laboratory performs an average of over 13,000 tests per month for both inpatients and outpatients. - The CCH Emergency Department (ED) employs highly trained emergency physicians and nurses, offering 24/7 care. Other Hospital departments providing support in the ED include Respiratory Care, Social Work, Laboratory, Medical Interpreters and Diagnostic Imaging. In May, 2006, the CCH Emergency Department was designated as a Level III Trauma Center. The Medical Staff and personnel in the Trauma Center have received specialized training to resuscitate and stabilize trauma patients. The Trauma Program provides systematic review of trauma care and participates in injury prevention activities throughout the community. - CCH opened wound care services in August, 2008, offering clinic hours one day per week. The identified service area includes a 45-mile radius around Columbus. By January 2009, a second day was added to support the demand. The program has exceeded the anticipated demand and provides a much needed service close to home. The clinic sees about 100 patients per month for wound care. - For services located in facilities off-site, the larger services are Home Health and Hospice. Home Health provides skilled health services for patients at their place of residence. The program is medically directed and must be ordered by the attending physician. Home Health is Medicare and Medicaid Certified and meets the requirements of the Joint Commission. Services provided within the program are: - Supervision and administration of medications - Intravenous therapy - Instructing patients in diabetic management - Nutritional assessments - Home Health aides - Personal care services - Occupational, speech and physical therapies - Hospice services are provided to persons who are no longer receiving curative treatment and whose life expectancy is six months or less. Care is provided by an interdisciplinary team which consists of the physician, nurse, social worker, therapist, Home Health aide, spiritual advisor, volunteer and other health professionals. - Our local Healthy Family Nebraska Program (HFN) targets young, primarily single, pregnant mothers and their families. Our voluntary HFN home visitation program targets the most vulnerable young women and their families by offering them intense, in-home education, support and resources. This home visiting program covers families in a four county area. The HFN requires each mother/family to actively participate in building an individualized family plan. This strength-based approach promotes self-improvement and enhances self-esteem and independence for our young parents that will help them make better decisions and break out of destructive cycles. - The CCH Sleep Lab offers complete polysomnographic sleep testing by trained and licensed sleep technicians for the purpose of diagnosing obstructive/central sleep apnea. Both daytime and night sleep studies are performed. - Occupational Health Services (OHS) offers a menu of health care services designed to prevent and treat injuries in the workplace. Partnering with employers in more than 800 companies and with other health care professions, OHS provides the Columbus and regional area businesses and industry with a comprehensive range of services designed to support and maintain a healthy, safe workforce while assisting them in meeting OSHA and DOT compliance regulations. Their full range of services include: - A comprehensive testing procedure called Physical Capacity Profile (PCP) that matches employees to the job and is designed to accommodate individuals with handicaps. The PCP system was developed by an orthopedic physician. Through use of this testing, musculoskeletal imbalances are detected which helps employers place employees in the appropriate job to minimize the potential of injury. - 24/7 drug and alcohol testing services - Pre-employment/post job offer physical assessments - On-site nursing services - Hearing/vision testing - Hearing conservation program management - Respiratory fit testing - Respiratory evaluation services - Flu shots and immunization programs - Wellness programs - Lifeline, an in-home emergency response program, provides the vital safety net that many people need to continue living at home in familiar and comforting surroundings. The program is completely focused on ensuring the patient's independence, safety and well-being in their home. It operates with a bracelet worn by the patient with a button that can be pressed if help is needed. Pre-determined responders are summoned to their home or emergency transfer can be call if needed. - Meals on Wheels are prepared by the Nutrition Services Department and are delivered by community volunteers. Seniors and physically handicapped adults qualify for the program. Special diets can also be accommodated. Financial assistance is available through the Nebraska Department of Social Services. - The Hospital also participates in and has hosted county-wide natural disaster and pandemic drills. As a member of a larger preparedness team, RROMRS, CCH can assist or receive assistance from this region's Medicare providers. Through these drills and exercises, the Hospital is well-prepared to handle a natural disaster or pandemic should one arise.

Return Reference Explanation
Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Endowment funds are held and maintained by Columbus Community Hospital Foundation. The endowment funds exist in support of improved health services by Columbus Community Hospital.
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 The Hospital adopted Financial Accounting Standards Baord (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No, 109. FIN 48 provides specific guidance on how to address uncertainty in accounting for income tax assets and liabilities, prescribing recognition thresholds and measurement attributes. The adoption of FIN 48 by Columbus Community Hospital did not have a material impact on the Hospital's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In fiscal years ending 2016 and 2015, management determined that there are no income tax positions requiring recognition in the financial statements.

Schedule H, Part II Community Building Activities Columbus Community Hospital (CCH) continues to collaborate with the local Chamber of Commerce to recruit skilled professionals to fill job openings in the community. The Hospital also provides support and staff time to assist in highlighting the health care community, offering specific department or Hospital tours in order to recruit skilled professionals to live and work in Columbus. On Hospital-donated land, the City of Columbus created a twelve acre urban lake and, on the same property, an additional 20 acres designated as the future site of a fire station. A handicap/stroller-accessible dock on the urban lake allows access for fishing or to watch water fowl rest in the area as they migrate through Columbus. The urban lake provides a community space within the city limits for people of all ages. The Hospital continues to partner with our local public health department and community health center (CHC) on several projects and community disease prevention initiatives, providing financial support and professional staff time as liaisons to these community partnerships throughout the year. Working together with these agencies, some of the chronic disease and accident prevention strategies addressed include: Type II Diabetes, hypertension and heart disease, pre and postnatal newborn care, physical activity and exercise, colon cancer prevention and early detection, and community preparedness for natural and man-made disasters. These programs reach countless members of the community each year, making a difference in the lives of people living with chronic health issues. Other hospital-driven community health initiatives include: free flu shots for residents at the shelter for the homeless and participation in numerous community health fairs/events each year providing medical screenings and free health information/education. To encourage entry into the medical profession, Columbus Community Hospital partners with local day care facilities, area schools and colleges, offering its medical professionals as guest speakers or instructors at hands-on learning events. To help in recruitment of health care professionals and also to relieve the daycare shortage in Columbus, the Hospital Board has also approved the construction of an on-site daycare and pre-school for Hospital employees. Columbus Community Hospital has an independent Board of Directors, consisting of community leaders with diverse backgrounds. The CCH Board approved the construction of a $21 million, 85,723 square foot community wellness facility that opened on October 27, 2015. The Columbus Family YMCA leased, below fair market value, 62,397 square feet of the facility that is available for use by the entire community and includes: 2 gyms, 3 pools, and weight and exercise equipment. Classes for wellness and fitness are provided by health care professionals from the Hospital and YMCA staff. In separate areas, the facility also houses the Hospital's adult and pediatric therapies.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 2 The methodology used to estimate bad debt expense is to take the private pay write-offs for the year and divide them by the total revenue generated from self-pay patients and multiply the product by the self-pay accounts receivable. This gives the amount of reserve necessary to cover the potential bad debt in current self-pay accounts receivable. Bad debt expense for the fiscal year is the amount of additional expense necessary to bring that reserve account to the calculated (estimated) balance.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 3 N/A
Schedule H, Part III, Line 4 Financial statements do not include any text for bad debt. The amount in Line 2 is the book bad debt amount. Charity care is kept separate from bad debt.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 8 In accordance with 42 CFR 413.24, Columbus Community Hospital uses the step-down method as its costing methodology. Departments within a provider are usually divided into two types: 1) Those that produce patient care revenue (e.g., routing services, radiology), and 2) Those that do not directly generate patient care revenue, but are utilized as a service by other departments (e.g., laundry and linen, dietary). The two types of departments are commonly referred to as revenue-producing cost centers and nonrevenue-producing cost centers. Although nonrevenue-producing cost centers do not directly produce patient care revenue, they contribute indirectly to patient care revenue generated by serving as a service to the revenue-producing centers and also to other nonrevenue-producing centers. Therefore, for the purpose of proper matching of revenue and expenses, the cost of the revenue-producing centers should include both its direct expenses and its proportionate share of the costs of each nonrevenue-producing center (indirect costs) based on the amount of services received. The process of allocating the cost of a particular nonrevenue-producing center to other nonrevenue-producing centers and revenue-producing centers is performed by utilizing a set of statistics (e.g. pounds of laundry for allocating laundry and linen costs, square feet for allocating depreciation building costs). Every nonrevenue-producing cost center has the potential of being allocated to every other nonrevenue-producing cost center in addition to the revenue-producing cost centers. This precludes a simple allocation of the direct expense of the nonrevenue-producing cost center because the indirect costs derived from allocation of other nonrevenue-producing cost centers must be computed in determining the full cost (direct and indirect costs) of the nonrevenue-producing cost center being allocated. The step-down method recognizes that services furnished by certain nonrevenue-producing departments are utilized by certain other nonrevenue-producing centers as well as by the revenue-producing centers. All costs of nonrevenue-producing centers are allocated to all centers that they serve, regardless of whether or not these centers produce revenue. The cost of the nonrevenue-producing center service the greatest number of other centers, while receiving benefits from the least number of centers, is apportioned first, following the apportionment of the cost of the non-revenue-producing center, that center will be considered closed and no further costs are apportioned to that center. This applies even though it may have received some service from a center whose cost is apportioned later. Generally, if two centers furnish services to an equal number of centers while receiving benefits from an equal number, that center which has the greatest amount of expense should be allocated first.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 9b The purpose of our Financial Assistance/Charity Program is to further the charitable mission of CCH by providing financially disadvantaged and other qualified patients with an avenue to apply for and receive free or discounted care consistent with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and implementing regulations under IRC Section 501(r). CCH's Financial Assistance Policy reflects the mission, vision and values of CCH. It is intended to assist low income, uninsured and underinsured individuals whose financial status, under the hospital's qualification criteria, makes it impractical or impossible to pay for medically necessary and emergency care. This Program provides a fair and comprehensive system of distributing free or discounted medical care to poor and financially disadvantaged patients within the available resources of CCH. This Policy addresses; Eligibility criteria for financial assistance; The extent to which financial assistance includes free and discounted care; The basis for calculating amounts charged to eligible patients; The method for applying for assistance; Actions that may be taken by CCH in the event of nonpayment; and Measures to widely publicize the Policy. CCH recognizes the individual's right to obtain quality health care regardless of age, sex, race, disability, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation, personal beliefs or their ability to pay. CCH has a fiduciary responsibility to seek payment for services from those who can pay.
Needs Assessment In 2010, Columbus Community Hospital began implementing a five year strategic plan. The plan includes a thorough assessment of the organizations external environment in terms of opportunities and threats, as well as an assessment of the organizations internal strengths and weaknesses. The plan also includes strategic issues, goals and related strategies for future organizational effectiveness. Six organizational pillars were identified: Quality, Culture, People, Service, Facilities and Finance. 1) Quality: Quality efforts have been focused on Evidence-Based Processes (EBP) and educating staff on the importance of using and integrating these processes in daily operations. CCH has implemented an electronic medical record to afford ease of information access and communication across the continuum of care. The clinical leadership groups for nursing and respiratory therapy have initiated a review of how to integrate EBP into the clinical areas and will be starting classes to educate staff within and outside nursing. 2) Culture: In an effort to achieve a high performance organization, CCH is in the process of implementing a 4-part culture improvement initiative that includes: TeamSTEPPS, Just Culture, Student and Lean/Six Sigma Process Improvement. The Hospital continues to work with the Studer Group to hardwire appropriate tools, focusing on improving patient outcomes and create a culture/environment, making CCH and employer of choice, and where physicians want to bring their patients for care. 3) People: CCH has continued to be aggressive in its recruitment efforts to attract and retain the workforce needed to support strategic growth initiatives across all service lines. CCH is initiating a new on-boarding process for new employees. In addition, nursing has updated their orientation program and has trained preceptors and nurse mentors/coaches. 4) Services: CCH performs an annual comprehensive program review of existing and new services and has ranked priority service line development in the areas of hospital medicine, orthopedics, cardiology, cancer and rehab services. 5) Facilities: CCH has developed a comprehensive master facilities plan that can adapt to current and future patient care needs. An Emergency Department expansion was completed in 2012 with a new Medical Office Building recently completed to house visiting physicians and the Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Care (W.O.C.) Clinic. 6) Finance: CCH is working diligently to maintain financial stability. Our approach includes: work to extend the Demonstration Project with an alternate plan in place if the program is discontinued. The Hospital maintains a conservative successful investment strategy and continue growth in the CCH Foundation.
Patient Education of Eligibility for Assistance Financial assistance information is available on the Hospitals website, including links to additional, in-depth information. Patient Charity/Financial Assistance Program: 1) If patients feel their income is not sufficient to pay for services at Columbus Community Hospital, they are encouraged to contact the Patient Accounts Department and/or Social Workers for information regarding charity/financial assistance. 2) Further information about Medicare/Medicaid/Charity Care is provided in both English and Spanish on our website. The State has Medicaid applications available online. Our Patient Accounts and Social Services staff can provide patients with financial/charity applications in either English or Spanish. 3) Additionally, signage is posted directing patients to call as needed for financial help. Referrals are built into to the medical admission software. If patients share concerns about the cost or their lack of coverage, a referral is generated to Social Services staff who will see patients, individually, and counsel on specific circumstances. 4) Monthly statements include the following information: a. Payment plans b. Charity/Financial Assistance Program c. 24/7 online Business Office access, which includes information on payment plans, charity/financial assistance and applications for financial/charity assistant available in both English and Spanish that can be downloaded from our website. A hard copy with information is also available in the Guide to Patient Services located in each patients room, as well as informative brochures located in outpatient areas. A step-by-step tutorial is also available, to help educate patients regarding what they need to bring when registering.
Community Information The Local Economy Columbus Community Hospital is located in Columbus, Nebraska, which is the largest city in Platte County. With a growing population of 33,066, Platte County is the largest county of the seven counties in the CCH service area. From July, 31, 2013 to July 31, 2014, unemployment in the City of Columbus decreased slightly from 3.9% or 756 jobless to 3.3% or 610 jobless. During this same period of time, the Nebraska jobless rate was 3.6% and the National average was reported at 6.2%. As reported in Money Magazine, Columbus is listed as the third best place in the U.S. to find employment and in the top 100 best small towns to live. Three counties in Nebraska were listed in the Top Ten Counties in the U.S. to live and work, including Platte, Madison (which is contiguous to Platte County) and Sarpy County near Lincoln, Nebraska. Our local economy is based on agriculture and manufacturing, with many industrial companies attracted by plentiful, low-priced hydroelectric power. A hard-working, well-educated workforce, low energy costs and a local environment friendly to business provide encouragement for strong economic and industrial development within our area. Among the major employers are Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), an ethanol manufacturing company; FLEXCON; Central Confinement Services; Pillen Family Farms; Vishay; two BD Medical Plants, medical equipment companies; Behlen Manufacturing, which manufactures steel buildings; and Nebraska Public Power, with headquarters located in Columbus. According to the Nebraska Department of labor, Columbus is considered a major hub for the manufacturing industry and has a greater share of manufacturing employment than other Nebraska metropolitan areas. We continue to see an influx of single and young families moving into our area seeking employment. Our community growth correlates to our continuing increase in hospital outpatient visits. Outpatient visits reached 44,613 visits for the fiscal year ending April, 2014. In 2005, our outpatient visits over a twelve month period totaled 38,129. This 17% increase in our outpatient visits over the past nine years is a reflection of the significant impact the Demonstration Project has had on our Hospital. Service Capacity The W.O.C. Clinic opened in August of 2008. It has grown to 1,107 patients/visits as of April 30, 2014. The identified service area includes a 45-mile radius around Columbus. The W.O.C. Clinic is located in the visiting physician office suite in the attached Medical Office Building. The Clinic has scheduled visits two days per week with additional nurse staff time spent each week assisting outpatient clients with wound applications, as well as assisting in the application of wound vacs in surgery or on our medical floor. W.O.C. staff also schedules appointments and other responsibilities for the Clinic such as ordering supplies and maintaining compliance with national standards. Prior to the opening of the W.O.C. Clinic, patients seeking this specialized treatment were required to travel an average of 75 miles to see a wound center specialist. The volume we are seeing at this Clinic reinforces the amount of community need that existed for this service and has greatly increased local access for so many high acuity patients and their families. Our nurses are WCOM certified, so in addition to wound care, patients who have challenges with ostomy appliances and continence problems can be addressed through our Clinic. To replace older, existing systems, CCH recently installed a new CT scanner, new radiologic/fluoroscopy system and nuclear medicine camera. The Hospital recently opened a womens imaging area within the Hospital, which is separate from the rest of the Radiology Department. The registration area was recently renovated which provides additional privacy for patients. On February 8, 2012, we reduced our mammography procedure pricing by 21% as well as sought and received a Susan G. Komen grant. The grant provided uninsured and underinsured women in our community access to lifesaving mammograms. The Hospitals Foundation also provided matching funding for the grant. Because of the Hospitals participation in the Demonstration Project, CCH was able to purchase bone density equipment, support equipment and train staff in the use of this procedure. In the past, CCH had contracted for mobile density services, but the purchase of this equipment has increased access to care for our community and eliminated the need to wait for diagnosis from a mobile units intermittent service or travel out of town for the procedure. Columbus Community Hospital is a 47 bed, acute care hospital offering a variety of surgical procedures and short term hospitalizations. All 47 beds are licensed for either acute care or swing bed patients. In addition, CCH provides comprehensive outpatient laboratory, radiology, respiratory and rehabilitative services. We also provide free 24/7 interpreter services. Our facility offers comprehensive care, including intensive care, medical-surgical care, inpatient and outpatient general, ENT, urology, podiatry, orthopedic surgical procedures. Other ancillary services offered include: respiratory, wound care, diabetes education, endoscopy and cardiopulmonary rehabilitation. In 2006, the Hospitals Emergency Department was designated as a Level III Trauma Center, with nurses certified in TNCC, ACLS and PALS. Eight of the Emergency Department nurses are also certified in ENPC. A 30,000 square foot addition to the ED was completed in 2012. The expanded area allowed the ED to add two trauma bays, a two-bay ambulance garage, a dedicated decontamination area, a dedicated family grief and counseling room, covered drive-up access and a negative air-pressure room, which allows patients with communicable disease to be treated while protecting other patients and staff. CCH has an open emergency room available to all in need regardless of race, creed, age or ability to pay. The Hospital also has an open medical staff. The Hospitals Home Health/Hospice interdisciplinary services are available to patients within a 30 mile radius of Columbus, offering in-home telehealth monitoring. The CCH Sleep Lab provides polysomnographic sleep testing, available for both daytime and home sleep tests. In January 2010, the Hospital hired a fulltime RN as the Orthopedic Service Line Coordinator. In November of that same year, a multi-disciplinary team was organized to review, standardize and improve the patients total joint process from diagnosis to post-surgical recovery. In March 2012, the acquired Columbus Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Clinic, enabling the Hospital to expand the service line and ensure the communitys aging population orthopedic services close to home. In May, 2013, the Hospital expanded the RN Coordinators responsibility into case management in the Transitional Care Department. This expansion of duties enabled the Hospital to plan for continuity of care post-hospitalization. Three cardiologists have relocated to Columbus, providing full time cardiology services to the area. Since 2010, 63 physicians have been recruited to serve the needs of our primary and secondary service areas, including 55 MDs, 1 DPM and 7 mid-level providers. Thirty-four of these providers are full time, while the other 29 are serving in a visiting capacity. To increase access to CCH, the Hospital has completed construction on three road projects on and around the campus. Two clinic buildings, one for a family practice group and one for a pharmacy, have been completed as well.
Promotion of Community Health In addition to construction of the Columbus Wellness Center, the Hospital reinvests capital to improve patient care, attract the best qualified staff, and provide medical education and prevention activities in our community. The Hospital is living its mission and vision within the community. Our Mission: To improve the health of the communities we serve. Our Vision: To compassionately deliver the States highest quality of patient care. Columbus Community Hospitals care values are: - Integrity - Compassion - Accountability - Respect - Excellence The Hospital has prioritized our capital reinvestment by aligning it to the strategic plan. Our plan consists of six organizational pillars with goals and strategies associated to each. The six Pillars of Excellence are: - Quality - Culture - People - Services - Facilities - Finance Measurement of ongoing operational performance is organized around these pillars. The pillars were strategically identified as common measures around which operational performance is organized in many health care institutions and adapted for CCH.

Return Reference Explanation
Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a The Organization paid for social and health club dues as part of the CEO's employment agreement. These amounts were reflected on the CEO's W-2.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 4b The following reportable individuals participated in a supplemental nonqualified retirement plan during the 2015 calendar year. Amounts deferred from the plan were included in Column C of the Schedule J: Michael Hansen - $37,500 Amy Blaser - $10,080 Chad Van Cleave - $10,033
Schedule J, Part I, Line 3 The Hospital's Executive Compensation Committee, made up of independent Hospital Board members, reviews the CEO's compensation annually. The wage range is compared to information provided by third party consultants, from salary surveys, and then decisions are documented.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 6a With the assistance of Towers-Watson, executive compensation consultants, the Board authorized paying an incentive to the executives for meeting specific Board-Established Directives. The Board authorized paying up to 25% of base compensation for Michael Hansen and up to 20% for the following VPs: - James Goulet - Linda Walline - Amy Blaser - Chad Van Cleave The incentive is based on goals established by the Board which are now reviewed annually. One of the goals is the Hospital's operating margin. The Board determines the associated metrics for each individual goal. Each of the goals is then assigned a weight based on the level of importance, as determined by the Board. The results are entered and the metric is tabulated. That number is multiplied by the corresponding weight. Once weighted, the figures are added in total to establish a score between 1 and 5. No incentive is paid if the Hospital's operating margin falls below 5.0%, regardless of the outcomes of the other measures. Bonuses paid to physicians are based on productivity. The incentives were paid in this fiscal year for work done in the previous fiscal year. The bonuses paid were: - Michael Hansen - $40,625 - Richard Cimpl, MD - $111,536 - Edward Fehringer, MD - $110,676 - Michael McGuire, MD - $29,557 - Joe Barbaglia - $32,816 - Amy Blaser - $11,800 - James Goulet - $30,153 - Linda Walline - $27,661
