Explanation

SCHEDULE D, PART V; QUESTION 4

THE ORGANIZATION IS AN AFFILIATE WITHIN ST. LUKE'S UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK ("NETWORK"); A TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY NETWORK. ST. LUKE'S HEALTH NETWORK, INC. IS THE PARENT ENTITY OF THE NETWORK. AN INDEPENDENT CPA FIRM AUDITED THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE NETWORK AND ITS CONTROLLED AFFILIATES FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2016 AND JUNE 30, 2015; RESPECTIVELY AND ISSUED A CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT WITH CONSOLIDATING SCHEDULES BY ENTITY. THE FOLLOWING FOOTNOTE IS INCLUDED IN THE NETWORKS AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THAT ADDRESSES THE NETWORKS ENDOWMENT FUNDS: THE NETWORKS ENDOWMENT CONSISTS OF APPROXIMATELY $35,784,231 INDIVIDUAL DONOR RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUNDS AND $80,659,624 BOARD-DESIGNATED ENDOWMENT FUNDS FOR A VARIETY OF PURPOSES PLUS THE FOLLOWING WHERE THE ASSETS HAVE BEEN DESIGNATED FOR ENDOWMENT: SPLIT INTEREST AGREEMENTS, AND OTHER NET ASSETS. THE ENDOWMENT INCLUDES BOTH DONOR-RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUNDS AND FUNDS DESIGNATED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO FUNCTION AS ENDOWMENTS. THE NET ASSETS ASSOCIATED WITH ENDOWMENT FUNDS INCLUDING FUNDS DESIGNATED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO FUNCTION AS ENDOWMENTS, ARE CLASSIFIED AND REPORTED BASED ON THE EXISTENCE OR ABSENCE OF DONOR IMPOSED RESTRICTIONS. RETURN OBJECTIVES AND RISK PARAMETERS THE NETWORK HAS ADOPTED ENDOWMENT INVESTMENT AND SPENDING POLICIES THAT ATTEMPT TO PROVIDE A PREDICTABLE STREAM OF FUNDING TO PROGRAMS SUPPORTED BY ITS ENDOWMENT WHILE SEEKING TO MAINTAIN THE PURCHASING POWER OF ENDOWMENT ASSETS. UNDER THIS POLICY, THE RETURN OBJECTIVE FOR THE ENDOWMENT ASSETS, MEASURED OVER A FULL MARKET CYCLE, SHALL BE TO MAXIMIZE THE RETURN AGAINST A BLENDED INDEX, BASED ON THE ENDOWMENTS TARGET ALLOCATION APPLIED TO THE APPROPRIATE INDIVIDUAL BENCHMARKS. THE NETWORK EXPECTS ITS ENDOWMENT FUNDS OVER TIME, TO PROVIDE AN AVERAGE RATE OF RETURN APPROXIMATING THE S&P 500 STOCK INDEX (DOMESTIC PORTION), MSCI EAFE INDEX (INTERNATIONAL PORTION) AND LEHMAN BROTHERS INTERMEDIATE GOVERNMENT/CORPORATE INDEX (BOND PORTION). ACTUAL RETURNS IN ANY GIVEN YEAR MAY VARY FROM THE INDEX RETURN AMOUNTS. STRATEGIES EMPLOYED FOR ACHIEVING INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES TO ACHIEVE ITS LONG-TERM RATE OF RETURN OBJECTIVES, THE NETWORK RELIES ON A TOTAL RETURN STRATEGY IN WHICH INVESTMENT RETURNS ARE ACHIEVED THROUGH BOTH CAPITAL APPRECIATION (REALIZED AND UNREALIZED GAINS) AND CURRENT YIELD (INTEREST AND DIVIDENDS). THE NETWORK TARGETS A DIVERSIFIED ASSET ALLOCATION THAT PLACES GREATER EMPHASIS ON EQUITY-BASED INVESTMENTS TO ACHIEVE ITS LONG-TERM OBJECTIVES WITHIN PRUDENT RISK CONSTRAINTS. ENDOWMENT SPENDING ALLOCATION AND RELATIONSHIP OF SPENDING POLICY TO INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE NETWORK DETERMINES THE METHOD TO BE USED TO APPROPRIATE ENDOWMENT FUNDS FOR EXPENDITURE. CALCULATIONS ARE PERFORMED FOR INDIVIDUAL ENDOWMENT FUNDS AT A RATE OF 4.5% OF A THREE-YEAR MOVING AVERAGE MARKET VALUE WITH A MINIMUM INCREASE OF 0% AND A MAXIMUM INCREASE OF 10% PER YEAR OVER THE PREVIOUS YEARS SPENDING AMOUNT. THE TOTAL IS REDUCED BY THE INCOME DISTRIBUTED FROM THE ENDOWMENT FUND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PREFERENCES/RESTRICTIONS MADE BY THE DONORS. THE CORRESPONDING CALCULATED SPENDING ALLOCATIONS ARE DISTRIBUTED ANNUALLY BY JUNE 30. IN ESTABLISHING THIS POLICY, THE BOARD CONSIDERED THE EXPECTED LONG TERM RATE OF RETURN ON ITS ENDOWMENT. ACCORDINGLY, OVER THE LONG TERM, THE NETWORK EXPECTS THE CURRENT SPENDING POLICY TO ALLOW ITS ENDOWMENT TO GROW AT AN AVERAGE OF 8% PERCENT ANNUALLY, CONSISTENT WITH ITS INTENTION TO MAINTAIN THE PURCHASING POWER OF THE ENDOWMENT ASSETS AS WELL AS TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL REAL GROWTH THROUGH NEW GIFTS.

SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 5	THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS ("CHNA") FOR BOTH ST. LUKES HOSPITAL - ALLENTOWN CAMPUS AND ST. LUKES HOSPITAL - BETHLEHEM CAMPUS WERE COMPRISED OF PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DATA. THE PRIMARY DATA WAS COLLECTED THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY HEALTH SURVEYS, WHERE APPROXIMATELY 3,000 SURVEYS WERE CONDUCTED IN OUR SEVEN CAMPUS GEOGRAPHIC REGION. PRIMARY DATA WAS ALSO COLLECTED THROUGH CAMPUS SPECIFIC KEY STAKEHOLDER FOCUS GROUPS, WHERE THE MAIN PRIORITY HEALTH NEEDS WERE IDENTIFIED FOR EACH ENTITY. SECONDARY DATA INCLUDED THE USE OF COUNTY LEVEL, STATE LEVEL, AND NATIONAL LEVEL DATA OBTAINED VIA THE U.S. CENSUS, THE ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON FOUNDATION, VITAL STATISTICS, COMMUNITY COMMONS, THE AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY, U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, THE BEHAVIORAL RISK FACTOR SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM AS WELL AS OTHER DATA SOURCES, WHICH CAN BE FOUND IN THE APPENDICES OF EACH CHNA. THE NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE FOCUS GROUPS WERE SUPPLEMENTED BY THE SURVEY DATA AND SECONDARY DATA IN ORDER TO PROVIDE A MORE COMPREHENSIVE PICTURE OF THE NEEDS IN EACH COMMUNITY AND THE OUTSIDE FACTORS AFFECTING THESE HEALTH ISSUES. THROUGH OUR REVIEW OF THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DATA, WE WERE ABLE TO CATEGORIZE THE IDENTIFIED HEALTH NEEDS INTO FIVE MAJOR CATEGORIES FOR THE JUNE 30, 2016 - JUNE 30, 2019 CHNA CYCLE.
SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTIONS 6A & 6B	THE ST. LUKE'S HOSPITAL - ALLENTOWN CAMPUS AND ST. LUKE'S HOSPITAL - BETHLEHEM CAMPUS EACH CONDUCTED THEIR OWN CHNA'S DUE TO SEPARATELY DEFINED PRIMARY SERVICE AREAS. THEIR RESPECTIVE CHNA'S AND CHNA EXECUTIVES SUMMARIES CAN BE FOUND ON THE ST. LUKE'S HEALTH NETWORK WEBSITE. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE THESE CHNA'S WERE CONDUCTED INDIVIDUALLY ST. LUKE'S HEALTH NETWORK WAS AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE HEALTH CARE COUNCIL ("HCC") OF THE LEHIGH VALLEY SERVING LEHIGH AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTIES, A COALITION OF AREA HOSPITALS, HEALTH BUREAUS AND NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS ("FQHCS") SERVING THE LEHIGH VALLEY. THE EFFORTS OF THE HCC WERE FUNDED BY THE DOROTHY RIDER POOL TRUST. PARTNERS OF THE HCC INCLUDED: - SACRED HEART HEALTHCARE SYSTEM; - LEHIGH VALLEY HEALTH NETWORK; - ST. LUKE'S UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK; - GOOD SHEPHERD REHABILITATION HOSPITAL; - KIDSPEACE; - BETHLEHEM HEALTH BUREAU; - ALLENTOWN HEALTH BUREAU; AND - NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS OF THE LEHIGH VALLEY.
SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 11	THE ORGANIZATION'S CHNAS WERE COMPLETED AND MADE WIDELY AVAILABLE PRIOR TO JUNE 30, 2016. THEREAFTER, A MULTI-DISCIPLINARY TEAM MET REGULARLY AND PARTICIPATED IN THE PROCESS. DURING THIS PROCESS AND THROUGH OUR REVIEW OF THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DATA, WE WERE ABLE TO CATEGORIZE THE IDENTIFIED HEALTH NEEDS INTO FIVE MAJOR CATEGORIES FOR THE 2016-2019 CHNA CYCLE. THESE PRIORITY HEALTH CATEGORIES INCLUDE: 1) IMPROVING ACCESS TO CARE/REDUCING HEALTH DISPARITIES; 2) PROMOTING HEALTHY LIFESTYLES AND PREVENTING CHRONIC DISEASE; 3) IMPROVING MENTAL/BEHAVIORAL HEALTH; 4) IMPROVING CHILD AND ADOLESCENT HEALTH; AND 5) IMPROVING ELDER HEALTH. A NETWORK WIDE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY WAS CREATED TO ADDRESS THE FIVE IDENTIFIED HEALTH PRIORITIES. THE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY WAS DEVELOPED TO CONTINUE ESTABLISHED EFFORTS, DEVELOP NEW INITIATIVES AND FOSTER COMMUNITY COLLABORATION TO MEET THE IDENTIFIED NEEDS. THE NETWORK WIDE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY APPROACHES THE FIVE HEALTH PRIORITY AREAS DETERMINED BY THE CHNA FROM THREE MAIN VANTAGES: 1) WELLNESS AND PREVENTION; 2) CARE TRANSFORMATION; AND 3) RESEARCH AND PARTNERSHIPS. THESE PRIORITY HEALTH AREAS AND UNMET NEEDS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN ARE INTEGRAL TO OUR COMMUNITY BENEFIT STRATEGY. ST. LUKE'S LEADERS CONTINUE TO MONITOR NEW PROGRAM DEVELOPMENTS AND SERVICES IN ORDER TO MEET AND ADDRESS THESE NEEDS. PROGRAMMING TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE CHNA IS CONDUCTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OVER 200 ORGANIZATIONS NETWORK WIDE, A COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF PARTNERS CAN BE FOUND ON THE LAST PAGE OF THE CAMPUS SPECIFIC CHNAS. THE ST. LUKE'S UNIVERISTY HEALTH NETWORK CHNA IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY AS WELL AS SEPARATE HOSPITAL FACILITY IMPLEMENTATION UPDATES CAN BE VIEWED ON THE ORGANIZATION'S WEBSITE. THE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES AND IMPLEMENTATION UPDATES INCLUDE AND DESCRIBE VARIOUS INITATIVES AND PLANS IN PLACE TO ADDRESS THE UNMET NEEDS DISCOVERED THROUGH THE ORGANIZATION'S CHNAS. HOSPITALS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO, NOR CAN THEY MEET ALL OF THE UNMET NEEDS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. ANY UNMET NEEDS NOT ADDRESSED BY THE ADOPTED IMPLEMENTATION PLAN ARE ALREADY BEING ADDRESSED IN THE SERVICE AREA BY THE HOSPITAL, OTHER HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, GOVERNMENT, OR VARIOUS LOCAL NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS IN THE COMMUNITY.
SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 16I	OTHER MEASURES TO PUBLICIZE THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY INCLUDE INDIVIDUAL FINANCIAL COUNSELING MEETINGS WITH PATIENTS WITHOUT HEALTH INSURANCE TO REVIEW THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY AND TO DISCUSS PAYMENT OPTIONS.
SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, QUESTION 22D	INDIVIDUALS WITH FAMILY INCOME AT OR BELOW 300% OF THE CURRENT FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR A 100% FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ALLOWANCE ON THE COST OF THEIR EMERGENCY OR MEDICALLY NECESSARY SERVICES.

LUKES UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK TO COMPLY WITH THE STANDARDS OF THE FEDERAL EMERGENCY MEDICAL TREATMENT AND ACTIVE LABOR TRANSPORT ACT OF 1986 ("EMTALA") AND THE EMTALA REGULATIONS IN PROVIDING A MEDICAL SCREENING EXAMINATION AND SUCH FURTHER TREATMENT AS MAY BE NECESSARY TO STABILIZE AN EMERGENCY MEDICAL CONDITION FOR ANY INDIVIDUAL COMING TO THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT SEEKING TREATMENT.
SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 6A	NOT APPLICABLE.
SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7	THE StrataJazz Decision Support/Cost Accounting System ("stratajazz") WAS THE TOOL UTILIZED TO DETERMINE THE COST OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID, MEDICAID HMO AND SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES. THE ENTIRE ACTIVITY WAS COSTED THROUGH THE stratajazz APPLICATION, TO INCLUDE INPATIENT, OUTPATIENT, EMERGENCY ROOM AND ALL PAYERS. COSTING CONSISTED OF ALLOCATING COST FROM THE DEPARTMENTAL LEVEL DOWN TO THE SERVICE ITEM LEVEL. ONCE COSTS WERE DETERMINED AT THE SERVICE ITEM LEVEL, WE THEN AGGREGATED ENCOUNTERS INTO THE DEFINED TARGETED GROUPS. FOR DETERMINATION OF THE UNREIMBURSED COSTS FOR MEDICAID, MEDICAID HMO AND SUBSIDIZED SERVICES REPORTED ON PART I, LINE 7, CHARITY CARE, BAD DEBT, AND ALL OVERLAPPING CASES REPORTED ELSEWHERE WERE EXCLUDED. THE RATIO OF PATIENT CARE COST TO CHARGES WAS UTILIZED TO DETERMINE THE CHARITY CARE. THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE RATIO CONFORMS TO THE FORM 990 INSTRUCTIONS. THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL/SURPLUS WAS DETERMINED USING THE MEDICARE COMPLEX COST REPORTING FORM UTILIZING ALLOWABLE MEDICARE COSTS.
SCHEDULE H, PART II	ST. LUKE'S HOSPITAL OF BETHLEHEM, PENNSYLVANIA HAS DIRECT INVOLVEMENT IN NUMEROUS COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES THAT PROMOTE AND IMPROVE THE HEALTH STATUS AND GENERAL BETTERMENT OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY THE HOSPITAL. 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. THIS ORGANIZATION 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.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 4	BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS CALCULATED USING THE ORGANIZATION'S BAD DEBT EXPENSE FROM ITS AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE ORGANIZATION AND ITS AFFILIATES PREPARE AND ISSUE AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE SYSTEM'S ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS (BAD DEBT EXPENSE) METHODOLOGY AND CHARITY CARE POLICIES ARE CONSISTENTLY APPLIED ACROSS ALL HOSPITAL AFFILIATES. THE ATTACHED TEXT WAS OBTAINED FROM THE FOOTNOTES TO THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE ORGANIZATION. PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE --------------------------- THE NETWORKS PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE CONSIST OF UNSECURED AMOUNTS DUE FOR PATIENT SERVICES BILLED TO PATIENTS AND OTHER THIRD-PARTY PAYORS SUCH AS MEDICARE, MEDICAL ASSISTANCE, BLUE CROSS AND VARIOUS COMMERCIAL INSURANCE COMPANIES AND MANAGED CARE COMPANIES. THE PRIMARY SERVICE AREA OF THE NETWORK IS LOCATED IN LEHIGH, NORTHAMPTON, CARBON, SCHUYLKILL AND BUCKS COUNTIES, PENNSYLVANIA AND WARREN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY. THE ABILITY OF THESE PATIENTS TO PAY IS SUBJECT TO CHANGES IN GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS OF THE NETWORKS SERVICE AREA. THE NETWORK PERFORMS ONGOING CREDIT EVALUATIONS AND MAINTAINS RESERVES FOR POTENTIAL CREDIT LOSSES. ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS ------------------------------- THE NETWORK RECORDS AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS FOR ESTIMATED LOSSES RESULTING FROM THE UNWILLINGNESS OF PATIENTS TO MAKE PAYMENTS FOR SERVICES. THE ALLOWANCE IS DETERMINED BY ANALYZING HISTORICAL DATA AND TRENDS. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE WRITTEN OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS WHEN MANAGEMENT DETERMINES THAT RECOVERY IS UNLIKELY AND COLLECTION EFFORTS CEASE. CHARITY CARE ------------ THE NETWORK PROVIDES CARE TO ALL PATIENTS WHO MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA UNDER ITS CHARITY CARE POLICY WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ITS ESTABLISHED RATES. CHARGES FOR SERVICES TO PATIENTS WHO MEET THE NETWORK'S GUIDELINES FOR CHARITY CARE ARE NOT REFLECTED IN THE ACCOMPANYING CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE CHARGES ASSOCIATED WITH THESE SERVICES FOR CHARITY CARE PROVIDED BY THE NETWORK APPROXIMATE $92,383,053 AND $78,761,201 IN 2016 AND 2015, RESPECTIVELY. THE COSTS INCURRED TO PROVIDE SUCH CARE IS DETERMINED USING A COST TO CHARGE RATIO AND WERE APPROXIMATELY $12,500,000 AND $10,900,000 FOR 2016 AND 2015, RESPECTIVELY.
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 8	MEDICARE COSTS WERE DERIVED FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORT FILED BY THE ORGANIZATION. THE ORGANIZATION FEELS THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. AS OUTLINED MORE FULLY BELOW THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT THESE SERVICES AND RELATED COSTS PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE AND ARE RENDERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITABLE TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES AND MISSION IN PROVIDING MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUAL'S IN A NON-DISCRIMINATORY MANNER WITHOUT REGARD TO RACE, COLOR, CREED, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN OR ABILITY TO PAY AND CONSISTENT WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD PROMULGATED BY THE IRS. THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IS THE CURRENT STANDARD FOR A HOSPITAL FOR RECOGNITION AS A TAX-EXEMPT AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE ("IRC") 501(C)(3). THE ORGANIZATION IS RECOGNIZED AS A TAX-EXEMPT ENTITY AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER 501(C)(3) OF THE IRC. ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO DEFINITION IN THE TAX CODE FOR THE TERM "CHARITABLE", A REGULATION PROMULGATED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY PROVIDES SOME GUIDANCE AND STATES THAT "[T]HE TERM CHARITABLE IS USED IN 501(C)(3) IN ITS GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE,PROVIDES EXAMPLES OF CHARITABLE PURPOSES, INCLUDING THE RELIEF OF THE POOR OR UNPRIVILEGED; THE PROMOTION OF SOCIAL WELFARE; AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION, RELIGION, AND SCIENCE. NOTE: IT DOES NOT EXPLICITLY ADDRESS THE ACTIVITIES OF HOSPITALS. IN THE ABSENCE OF EXPLICIT STATUTORY OR REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS APPLYING THE TERM "CHARITABLE" TO HOSPITALS, IT HAS BEEN LEFT TO THE IRS TO DETERMINE THE CRITERIA HOSPITALS MUST MEET TO QUALIFY AS IRC 501(C)(3) CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS. THE ORIGINAL STANDARD WAS KNOWN AS THE CHARITY CARE STANDARD. THIS STANDARD WAS REPLACED BY THE IRS WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD WHICH IS THE CURRENT STANDARD. CHARITY CARE STANDARD IN 1956, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 56-185, WHICH ADDRESSED THE REQUIREMENTS HOSPITALS NEEDED TO MEET IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR IRC 501(C)(3) STATUS. ONE OF THESE REQUIREMENTS IS KNOWN AS THE "CHARITY CARE STANDARD." UNDER THE STANDARD, A HOSPITAL HAD TO PROVIDE, TO THE EXTENT OF ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY, FREE OR REDUCED-COST CARE TO PATIENTS UNABLE TO PAY FOR IT. A HOSPITAL THAT EXPECTED FULL PAYMENT DID NOT, ACCORDING TO THE RULING, PROVIDE CHARITY CARE BASED ON THE FACT THAT SOME PATIENTS ULTIMATELY FAILED TO PAY. THE RULING EMPHASIZED THAT A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE DID NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT A HOSPITAL HAD FAILED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENT SINCE THAT LEVEL COULD REFLECT ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PROVIDE SUCH CARE. THE RULING ALSO NOTED THAT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED COMMUNITY HOSPITALS WOULD NORMALLY QUALIFY AS CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS BECAUSE THEY SERVE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY AND A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE WOULD NOT AFFECT A HOSPITAL'S EXEMPT STATUS IF IT WAS DUE TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY'S LACK OF CHARITABLE DEMANDS. COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IN 1969, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH "REMOVE[D]" FROM REVENUE RULING 56-185 "THE REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO CARING FOR PATIENTS WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT RATES BELOW COST." UNDER THE STANDARD DEVELOPED IN REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE "COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD," HOSPITALS ARE JUDGED ON WHETHER THEY PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF A BROAD CLASS OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE RULING INVOLVED A HOSPITAL THAT ONLY ADMITTED INDIVIDUALS WHO COULD PAY FOR THE SERVICES (BY THEMSELVES, PRIVATE INSURANCE, OR PUBLIC PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICARE), BUT OPERATED A FULL-TIME EMERGENCY ROOM THAT WAS OPEN TO EVERYONE. THE IRS RULED THAT THE HOSPITAL QUALIFIED AS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION BECAUSE IT PROMOTED THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN ITS COMMUNITY. THE IRS REASONED THAT BECAUSE THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH WAS A CHARITABLE PURPOSE ACCORDING TO THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY, IT FELL WITHIN THE "GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE" OF THE TERM "CHARITABLE," AS REQUIRED BY TREAS. REG. 1.501(C)(3)-1(D)(2). THE IRS RULING STATED THAT THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH, LIKE THE RELIEF OF POVERTY AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION AND RELIGION, IS ONE OF THE PURPOSES IN THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY THAT IS DEEMED BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE EVEN THOUGH THE CLASS OF BENEFICIARIES ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A DIRECT BENEFIT FROM ITS ACTIVITIES DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, SUCH AS INDIGENT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, PROVIDED THAT THE CLASS IS NOT SO SMALL THAT ITS RELIEF IS NOT OF BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. THE IRS CONCLUDED THAT THE HOSPITAL WAS "PROMOTING THE HEALTH OF A CLASS OF PERSONS THAT IS BROAD ENOUGH TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY" BECAUSE ITS EMERGENCY ROOM WAS OPEN TO ALL AND IT PROVIDED CARE TO EVERYONE WHO COULD PAY, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT. OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HOSPITAL THAT THE IRS HIGHLIGHTED INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING: ITS SURPLUS FUNDS WERE USED TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE, EXPAND HOSPITAL FACILITIES, AND ADVANCE MEDICAL TRAINING, EDUCATION, AND RESEARCH; IT WAS CONTROLLED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES THAT CONSISTED OF INDEPENDENT CIVIC LEADERS; AND HOSPITAL MEDICAL STAFF PRIVILEGES WERE AVAILABLE TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS. THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION ("AHA") FEELS THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THIS ORGANIZATION AGREES WITH THE AHA POSITION. AS OUTLINED IN THE AHA LETTER TO THE IRS DATED AUGUST 21, 2007 WITH RESPECT TO THE FIRST PUBLISHED DRAFT OF THE NEW FORM 990 AND SCHEDULE H, THE AHA FELT THAT THE IRS SHOULD INCORPORATE THE FULL VALUE OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT THAT HOSPITALS PROVIDE BY COUNTING MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: - PROVIDING CARE FOR THE ELDERLY AND SERVING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD. - MEDICARE, LIKE MEDICAID, DOES NOT PAY THE FULL COST OF CARE. RECENTLY, MEDICARE REIMBURSES HOSPITALS ONLY 92 CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR THEY SPEND TO TAKE CARE OF MEDICARE PATIENTS. THE MEDICARE PAYMENT ADVISORY COMMISSION ("MEDPAC") IN ITS MARCH 2007 REPORT TO CONGRESS CAUTIONED THAT UNDERPAYMENT WILL GET EVEN WORSE, WITH MARGINS REACHING A 10-YEAR LOW AT NEGATIVE 5.4 PERCENT. - MANY MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE POOR. MORE THAN 46 PERCENT OF MEDICARE SPENDING IS FOR BENEFICIARIES WHOSE INCOME IS BELOW 200 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. MANY OF THOSE MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID -- SO CALLED ELIGIBLES." THERE IS EVERY COMPELLING PUBLIC POLICY REASON TO TREAT MEDICARE AND MEDICAID UNDERPAYMENTS SIMILARLY FOR PURPOSES OF A HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND INCLUDE THESE COSTS ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT MUST BE SHOULDERED BY THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE COMMUNITY'S ELDERLY AND POOR. THESE UNDERPAYMENTS REPRESENT A REAL COST OF SERVING THE COMMUNITY AND SHOULD COUNT AS A QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT. BOTH THE AHA AND THIS ORGANIZATION ALSO FEEL THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THERE ARE COMPELLING REASONS THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT SHOULD BE COUNTED AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS FOLLOWS: - A SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO LOW-INCOME PATIENTS, WHO, FOR MANY REASONS, DECLINE TO COMPLETE THE FORMS REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH ELIGIBILITY FOR HOSPITALS' CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. A 2006 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE ("CBO") REPORT, NONPROFIT HOSPITALS AND THE PROVISION OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS, CITED TWO STUDIES INDICATING THAT "THE GREAT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT WAS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WITH INCOMES BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE." - THE REPORT ALSO NOTED THAT A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. UNLIKE BAD DEBT IN OTHER INDUSTRIES, HOSPITAL BAD DEBT IS COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT HOSPITALS FOLLOW THEIR MISSION TO THE COMMUNITY AND TREAT EVERY PATIENT THAT COMES THROUGH THEIR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. PATIENTS WHO HAVE OUTSTANDING BILLS ARE NOT TURNED AWAY, UNLIKE OTHER INDUSTRIES. BAD DEBT IS FURTHER COMPLICATED BY THE AUDITING INDUSTRY'S STANDARDS ON REPORTING CHARITY CARE. MANY PATIENTS CANNOT OR DO NOT PROVIDE THE NECESSARY, EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED TO BE DEEMED CHARITY CARE BY AUDITORS. AS A RESULT, ROUGHLY 10% OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. - THE CBO CONCLUDED THAT ITS FINDINGS "SUPPORT THE VALIDITY OF THE USE OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE [BAD DEBT AND CHARITY CARE] AS A MEASURE OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS" ASSUMING THE FINDINGS ARE GENERALIZABLE NATIONWIDE; THE EXPERIENCE OF HOSPITALS AROUND THE NATION REINFORCES THAT THEY ARE GENERALIZABLE. AS OUTLINED BY THE AHA, DESPITE THE HOSPITAL'S BEST EFFORTS AND DUE DILIGENCE, PATIENT BAD DEBT IS A PART OF THE HOSPITAL'S MISSION AND CHARITABLE PURPOSES. BAD DEBT REPRESENTS PART OF THE BURDEN HOSPITALS
SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 9B	ST. LUKES UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK MANAGEMENT DEVELOPED POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL COLLECTION PRACTICES THAT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE PATIENT QUALIFIES FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, A PATIENTS GOOD FAITH EFFORT TO APPLY FOR A GOVERNMENTAL PROGRAM OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FROM ST. LUKES UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK AND A PATIENTS GOOD FAITH EFFORT TO COMPLY WITH HIS OR HER PAYMENT AGREEMENTS. THE CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICY IS ESTABLISHED AND IS TO BE ADMINISTERED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MISSION AND VALUES OF THE HOSPITAL AS WELL AS FEDERAL AND STATE LAW. THE POLICY IS DESIGNED TO PROMOTE APPROPRIATE ACCESS TO MEDICAL CARE FOR ALL PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY WHILE MAINTAINING THE NETWORK'S FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY TO MAXIMIZE REIMBURSEMENT AND MINIMIZE BAD DEBT. ST. LUKES UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK WILL NOT ENGAGE IN ANY ACTIONS THAT DISCOURAGE INDIVIDUALS FROM SEEKING EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE, SUCH AS BY DEMANDING THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT PATIENTS PAY BEFORE RECEIVING TREATMENT FOR EMERGENCY MEDICAL CONDITIONS OR BY PERMITTING DEBT COLLECTION ACTIVITIES IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT OR OTHER AREAS WHERE SUCH ACTIVITIES COULD INTERFERE WITH THE PROVISION OF EMERGENCY CARE ON A NONDISCRIMINATORY BASIS. ALL MEDICALLY NECESSARY HOSPITAL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED WITHOUT CONSIDERATION OF ABILITY TO PAY AND ARE NOT DELAYED PENDING APPLICATION OR APPROVAL OF MEDICAL ASSISTANCE OR ST. LUKE'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. ADVANCE PAYMENT IS NOT REQUIRED FOR ANY MEDICALLY NECESSARY SERVICE. THIS CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICY IS INTENDED TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT EACH INDIVIDUAL'S ABILITY TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE COST OF HIS OR HER CARE. PATIENTS WILL BE ASSISTED IN OBTAINING HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE FROM PRIVATELY AND PUBLICLY FUNDED SOURCES WHENEVER POSSIBLE. ALL PATIENT BUSINESS SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPRESENTATIVES WILL BE EDUCATED ON ALL ASPECTS OF THE CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICY AND ARE EXPECTED TO ADMINISTER THE POLICY ON A REGULAR AND CONSISTENT BASIS. PATIENT BUSINESS SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES ARE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO TREAT ALL PATIENTS WITH COURTESY, RESPECT, CONFIDENTIALITY AND CULTURAL SENSITIVITY. THE CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICY IS TO BE ADMINISTERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN INTERNAL ADMINISTRATIVE POLICIES. THE SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT OF FINANCE HAVE OVERALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CREDIT AND COLLECTION ACTIVITIES OF THE HOSPITAL. THE BUSINESS OFFICE MANAGEMENT STAFF IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAY-TO-DAY ENFORCEMENT OF APPROVED POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. ST. LUKES UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK MAY OFFER EXTENDED PAYMENT PLANS TO PATIENTS WHO ARE COOPERATING IN GOOD FAITH TO RESOLVE THEIR HOSPITAL BILLS.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 2	ST. LUKE'S UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK'S DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY HEALTH AND PREVENTIVE MEDICINE OVERSEES ASSESSMENT OF THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY HOSPITALS WITHIN THE NETWORK. THE DEPARTMENT IS CHAIRED BY DR. BONNIE COYLE, BOARD CERTIFIED IN PREVENTATIVE MEDICINE, WITH OVER 16 YEARS' EXPERIENCE IN PUBLIC AND PREVENTATIVE HEALTH. ANALYSIS OF INFORMATION FROM THE FOLLOWING SOURCES IS PART OF THE DEPARTMENT'S ONGOING HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS: VITAL STATISTICS, PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH DATA, HOSPITAL DISCHARGE DATA, THE ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON COUNTY HEALTH PROFILES AND OTHER COUNTY DATA AVAILABLE FROM VARIOUS OTHER STATE AGENCIES. IN ADDITION, THE DEPARTMENT COLLECTS ONGOING STATISTICS FROM ITS COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY BASED PROGRAMMING INITIATIVES AND FROM ESTABLISHED COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS. IN 1996, WITH THE FULL APPROVAL AND SUPPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, ST. LUKES COMMUNITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT ASSUMED A LEADERSHIP ROLE IN CREATING A HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PARTNERSHIP WITH KEY AGENCIES AND ORGANIZATIONS IN THE GREATER BETHLEHEM AREA. THE BETHLEHEM PARTNERSHIP FOR A HEALTHY COMMUNITY WAS FORMED, CONSISTING OF OVER 60 REPRESENTATIVES FROM HEALTHCARE, BUSINESS, COMMUNITY, EDUCATION AND SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS. THIS GROUP COLLECTIVELY DEVELOPED PROGRAMS TO MEET THE IDENTIFIED NEEDS OF ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED FAMILIES, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN, IN BETHLEHEM AND THROUGHOUT THE LEHIGH VALLEY BY CONDUCTING FORMALIZED COMMUNITY ASSESSMENTS ON A REGULAR BASIS. THIS PROCESS ALLOWED ST. LUKES TO IDENTIFY THE MOST PREVAILING HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF RESIDENTS AND BASE PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT AND DELIVERY ACCORDING TO THESE NEEDS. IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS, THE BETHLEHEM PARTNERSHIP HAS TRANSFORMED INTO THE ADOPT A SCHOOL MODEL. THIS COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH MAINTAINED THE MOST SUCCESSFUL AND OUTCOMES-DRIVEN WORK WITHIN THE ALLENTOWN AND BETHLEHEM SCHOOL DISTRICTS, WHILE CREATING A MODEL OF SERVICE THAT COULD BE IMPLEMENTED IN OTHER URBAN AND RURAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS WITH MINOR ACCOMMODATIONS. THIS ALLOWED US TO BETTER ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF OUR EXPANDING SERVICE AREAS AS OUR ORGANIZATION GREW FROM A ONE CAMPUS COMMUNITY HOSPITAL TO A 7-CAMPUS HOSPITAL NETWORK. WE NOW SPEARHEAD A NATIONAL MODEL OF COLLABORATION WITH 200+ PARTNERS REPRESENTING LOCAL BUSINESSES, GOVERNMENT, EDUCATIONAL, SOCIAL SERVICE AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. A NUMBER OF OUR CHNA DETERMINED HEALTH PRIORITIES ARE ADDRESSED AMONG OUR VULNERABLE POPULATIONS USING THE ADOPT A SCHOOL MODEL. THE MISSION OF THE ADOPT A SCHOOL MODEL IS TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE THE ALLENTOWN AND BETHLEHEM AREA SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE THE HUB TO CULTIVATE THE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL WELL-BEING OF INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES IN OUR COMMUNITY THROUGH COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS, USING EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAMS, TO CONNECT FAMILIES TO HEALTH SERVICES (MEDICAL, DENTAL, VISION, MENTAL HEALTH AND INSURANCE) WHILE PROMOTING HEALTHY LIVING INITIATIVES, LITERACY AND LEADERSHIP TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES OF STUDENTS. BASED ON THE IDENTIFIED NEEDS AND PRIORITIES, EACH HOSPITAL CAMPUS DEVELOPS PLANS AND PROGRAMS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF THOSE IN THE COMMUNITIES. THROUGH OUR PARTNERSHIP EFFORTS AND INITIATIVES, WE PROVIDE MOBILE YOUTH HEALTH SERVICES (CONNECTING STUDENTS TO MEDICAL, DENTAL & VISION VANS, INSURANCE, PHYSICAL, BEHAVIORAL, AND MENTAL HEALTH ASSESSMENTS AND SERVICES), HEALTHY LIVING INITIATIVES (GET YOUR TAIL ON THE TRAIL, LIVE YOUR LIFE, SCHOOL GARDENS AND NUTRITION PROGRAMS), LITERACY PROGRAMS (DR. SEUSS DAY, READING ROCKS! AND LITTLE FREE LIBRARIES), AND YOUTH DEVELOPMENT (LEADER IN ME AND ADOLESCENT CAREER MENTORING). OUR INITIATIVES ARE CONTINUALLY ASSESSED AND EVALUATED TO PROVIDE MEASURABLE AND EFFECTIVE HEALTH OUTCOMES. LOCAL SCHOOL COORDINATORS AND COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP COMMITTEES ASSESS, EVALUATE AND GUIDE THE INITIATIVES THAT FEED INTO THE ST. LUKES ADOPT A SCHOOL MODEL USING EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAMS/SERVICES.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 3	ST. LUKES UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING THE HIGHEST QUALITY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO OUR COMMUNITY. ST. LUKES UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK IS COMMITTED TO A SERVICE EXCELLENCE PHILOSOPHY THAT STRIVES TO MEET OR EXCEED PATIENT EXPECTATIONS. ALL PATIENTS WILL RECEIVE A UNIFORM STANDARD OF CARE THROUGHOUT ALL OF OUR FACILITIES, REGARDLESS OF SOCIAL, CULTURAL, FINANCIAL, RELIGIOUS, RACIAL, GENDER OR SEXUAL ORIENTATION FACTORS. ST. LUKES UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK STRIVES TO ENSURE THAT ALL PATIENTS RECEIVE ESSENTIAL EMERGENCY AND OTHER MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. ST. LUKES UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO PERSONS WHO HAVE HEALTHCARE NEEDS AND ARE UNINSURED, INELIGIBLE FOR GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE, OR OTHERWISE UNABLE TO PAY, FOR MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE BASED ON THEIR INDIVIDUAL FINANCIAL SITUATION. ALL PERSONS WHO PRESENT THEMSELVES FOR EMERGENCY OR OTHER MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES SHALL BE ADMITTED AND TREATED; THEY SHALL BE REGISTERED AS PATIENTS OF THE HOSPITAL AND SHALL RECEIVE THOSE NECESSARY SERVICES AS PRESCRIBED BY THE PATIENTS PHYSICIAN. IN NO CASE SHALL ANY PROSPECTIVE PATIENT OF ST. LUKES UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK BE DENIED NECESSARY HEALTH CARE SERVICES ON THE BASIS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. ST. LUKES UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK DOES ITS BEST TO EDUCATE AND INFORM PATIENTS ABOUT THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR PATIENTS THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION ARE ALL AVAILABLE ON-LINE. ADDITIONALLY, PAPER COPIES ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST WITHOUT CHARGE BY MAIL AND ARE AVAILABLE THE HOSPITAL FACILITY REGISTRATION AREAS WHICH INCLUDE EMERGENCY ROOMS, ADMITTING AND REGISTRATION DEPARTMENTS, HOSPITAL BASED CLINICS, AND PATIENT FINANCIAL SERVICES. SIGNS OR DISPLAYS ARE CONSPICUOUSLY POSTED IN PUBLIC HOSPITAL LOCATIONS INCLUDING THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, ADMISSIONS DEPARTMENT AND REGISTRATION DEPARTMENT THAT NOTIFY AND INFORM PATIENTS ABOUT THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THROUGH ITS COMMUNICATION DEPARTMENT, ST. LUKES UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK ALSO MAKES REASONABLE EFFORTS TO INFORM MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY ABOUT THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. REFERRAL OF PATIENTS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE CAN BE MADE BY A MEMBER OF THE HOSPITAL STAFF OR MEDICAL STAFF, INCLUDING PHYSICIANS, NURSES, FINANCIAL COUNSELORS, SOCIAL WORKERS, CASE MANAGERS, CHAPLAINS AND RELIGIOUS SPONSORS. FINANCIAL COUNSELORS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES ARE AVAILABLE TO ASSIST PATIENTS WITH QUESTIONS CONCERNING CHARGES, PAYMENTS OR ANY OTHER CONCERNS.
SCHEDULE H, PART VI, QUESTION 4	ST. LUKES UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORKS (SLUHN) BETHLEHEM AND ALLENTOWN CAMPUSES ARE BOTH IN THE LEHIGH VALLEY. THE PRIMARY SERVICE AREA CONSISTS OF A LARGELY URBAN POPULATION IN LEHIGH AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTIES IN SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION REGARDING THE COMMUNITY DEMOGRAPHICS IS INCLUDED IN EACH RESPECTIVE ORGANIZATIONS CHNA. GEOGRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF MEDICAL SERVICE AREA & COMMUNITY SERVED ================================================================= ST. LUKES HOSPITAL BETHLEHEM CAMPUS: --------------------------------------- A TOTAL OF 496,209 PEOPLE LIVE IN THE 408.57 SQUARE MILE REPORT AREA DEFINED FOR THIS ASSESSMENT, ACCORDING TO THE U.S. CENSUS BUREAU AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY (2009-2013) 5-YEAR ESTIMATES. THE POPULATION DENSITY FOR THIS AREA, ESTIMATED AT 1,214.51 PERSONS PER SQUARE MILE, IS GREATER THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE POPULATION DENSITY OF 88.23 PERSONS PER SQUARE MILE. ACCORDING TO THE U.S. CENSUS BUREAU DECENNIAL CENSUS, BETWEEN 2000 AND 2010 THE POPULATION IN THE REPORT AREA GREW BY 46,227 PERSONS, A CHANGE OF 10.34%. THIS POPULATION INCREASE IS GREATER THAN BOTH THE PERCENT INCREASE IN POPULATION FOR THE UNITED STATES, WHICH IS 9.74%, AND THE PERCENT INCREASE IN PENNSYLVANIA, WHICH IS 3.43%. WE DEFINED OUR SERVICE AREA BY DETERMINING THE TOP PATIENT ZIP CODES OF OUR RESIDENTS WHO RECEIVE SERVICES FROM ST. LUKES BETHLEHEM. WE DEFINED THE TOP ZIP CODES AS THOSE THAT MAKE UP 80% OF THE POPULATION SERVED BY THIS HOSPITAL. THIS REPORT WILL REFER TO THIS AREA AS THE "ST. LUKES BETHLEHEM SERVICE AREA". THE TOP FIVE COUNTIES SERVED BY ST. LUKES BETHLEHEM IN PENNSYLVANIA INCLUDE NORTHAMPTON, LEHIGH, CARBON, AND BUCKS COUNTIES IN PENNSYLVANIA, AND WARREN COUNTY IN NEW JERSEY. THERE ARE A TOTAL OF 19 ZIP CODES THAT WERE INCLUDED IN THE FINAL ANALYSES. THE MAP ABOVE IDENTIFIES THE AREAS SERVED. ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE IS A TABLE LISTING THE TOP ZIP CODES AS WELL AS THE PERCENTAGE THAT THE POPULATION FROM EACH ZIP CODE CONSTITUTES FOR THE PATIENT POPULATION SEEN AT ST. LUKES BETHLEHEM AND AT SLUHN AS A WHOLE. ST.

THE POPULATION DENSITY FOR THIS AREA, ESTIMATED AT 1,538.72 PERSONS PER SQUARE MILE, IS GREATER THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE POPULATION DENSITY OF 88.23 PERSONS PER SQUARE MILE. WE DEFINED OUR SERVICE AREA BY DETERMINING THE TOP PATIENT ZIP CODES OF OUR RESIDENTS WHO RECEIVE ANY SERVICES FROM ST. LUKES ALLENTOWN. WE DEFINED THE TOP ZIP CODES AS THOSE THAT MAKE UP 80% OF THE POPULATION SERVED BY THIS HOSPITAL. THIS REPORT WILL REFER TO THIS AREA AS THE "ST. LUKES ALLENTOWN SERVICE AREA". THE TOP COUNTIES SERVED BY ST. LUKES ALLENTOWN INCLUDE LEHIGH, BERKS, AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTIES IN PENNSYLVANIA. THERE ARE A TOTAL OF 16 ZIP CODES INCLUDED THAT CONSTITUTE 80% OF THE POPULATION SERVED AT ST. LUKES ALLENTOWN. THE MAP DISPLAYS THE TOP ZIP CODES WHERE OUR PATIENTS ARE FROM. THE CHART ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE LISTS THE ZIP CODES AS WELL AS THE PERCENTAGE FOR WHICH EACH ZIP CODE CONSTITUTES WITHIN ST. LUKES ALLENTOWN AS WELL AS WITHIN THE ENTIRE NETWORK. GENDER ====== ST. LUKES HOSPITAL BETHLEHEM CAMPUS: --------------------------------------- ACCORDING TO THE U.S. CENSUS BUREAUS AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY (ACS, 2009-13), THE PERCENTAGE OF FEMALES IN THE ST. LUKES BETHLEHEM SERVICE AREA RANGES FROM 50.55% (CARBON COUNTY) TO 51.41% (LEHIGH COUNTY). THE PERCENTAGE OF MALES RANGES FROM 48.59% (LEHIGH COUNTY) TO 49.45% (CARBON COUNTY) (ACS, 2009-13). FOR MALES THE PERCENTAGE RANGE IS LOWER, WHICH IS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NATIONAL TREND OF THERE BEING A LOWER PERCENTAGE OF MALES (49.19%) (ACS, 2009-13). ST. LUKES HOSPITAL ALLENTOWN CAMPUS: --------------------------------------- ACCORDING TO THE U.S. CENSUS BUREAU AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY (ACS 2009-13) 5-YEAR ESTIMATES, BETWEEN 50.91% (BERKS COUNTY) AND 51.41% (LEHIGH COUNTY) OF THE POPULATION ARE FEMALES IN THE ST. LUKES ALLENTOWN SERVICE AREA. THE MALE POPULATION RANGES FROM 48.93% (NORTHAMPTON COUNTY) TO 49.09% (BERKS COUNTY). AGE === ST. LUKES HOSPITAL BETHLEHEM CAMPUS: --------------------------------------- THE PERCENT OF THE POPULATION THAT FALLS UNDER THE AGE OF 18 AS REPORTED BY THE ACS (2009-13) IS 22.32% OF THE POPULATION, AND THE PERCENT OF THE POPULATION THAT IS OVER THE AGE OF 65 REPRESENTS 15.79% OF THE POPULATION. THIS MEANS THAT 61.89% OF THE POPULATION FALLS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 18-65. THE AGE DISTRIBUTION GRAPH BY PATIENT VISITS FROM ST. LUKES INTERNAL DATA SHOWS THAT THE LARGEST AGE GROUP OF THE PATIENTS SEEN FELL IN THE ABOVE 65 RANGE, WITH 45-64 BEING THE SECOND HIGHEST AGE GROUP FROM WHICH PATIENTS VISITED ST. LUKES BETHLEHEM IN THE PAST YEAR. ST. LUKES HOSPITAL ALLENTOWN CAMPUS: --------------------------------------- DATA FROM THE ACS (2009-13) TELL US THAT 23.35% OF THE POPULATION IN THE ST. LUKES ALLENTOWN SERVICE AREA IS UNDER THE AGE OF 18, AND 14.49% OF THE POPULATION IS OVER THE AGE OF 65, LEAVING 62.15% OF THE POPULATION IN THE 18-64 AGE RANGE THE GRAPH ON THE RIGHT IS FROM ST. LUKES INTERNAL DATA, AND SHOWS THAT A HIGH PROPORTION OF THE PATIENTS SEEN AT ST. LUKES ALLENTOWN FALL IN THE 45-64 AND 65 AND OLDER AGE RANGES. RACE ==== ST. LUKES HOSPITAL BETHLEHEM CAMPUS: --------------------------------------- WHEN THE ST. LUKES BETHLEHEM POPULATION IS BROKEN DOWN BY RACE, THE TOP PIE CHART SHOWS THAT MOST OF THE INDIVIDUALS IN THE POPULATION IDENTIFY AS WHITE, CONSTITUTING 81.13% OF THE SERVICE AREA (ACS, 2009-13). THE SECOND LARGEST RACE GROUP IN THIS AREA IS THOSE WHO IDENTIFY AS BLACK, WHO REPRESENT 6.88% OF THE POPULATION (ACS, 2009-13). OVERALL, RACES OTHER THAN WHITE REPRESENT 18.87% OF THE TOTAL POPULATION IN THE ST. LUKES BETHLEHEM SERVICE AREA (ACS 2009-13). ST. LUKES HOSPITAL ALLENTOWN CAMPUS: --------------------------------------- AS EVIDENCED BY THE TOP PIE CHART, THE MAJORITY OF THE POPULATION IN THE ST. LUKES ALLENTOWN SERVICE AREA IDENTIFY AS WHITE, CONSTITUTING 79.02% OF THE POPULATION. THE NEXT LARGEST RACE GROUP IS THOSE WHO IDENTIFY AS SOME OTHER RACE (7.58%), AND THOSE WHO IDENTIFY AS BLACK (6.95%). ALLENTOWN IS A RACIALLY DIVERSE AREA, AND FROM OUR LANGUAGE DATA IT IS LIKELY THAT THERE MAY BE A SIGNIFICANT GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS WHO IDENTIFY AS HISPANIC/LATINO OR MIDDLE EASTERN (ACS 2009-13). ETHNICITY ========= ST. LUKES HOSPITAL BETHLEHEM CAMPUS: --------------------------------------- BY EXAMINING ETHNICITY, WE CAN BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT THE ST. LUKES BETHLEHEM POPULATION LOOKS LIKE. THE DATA SHOW THAT MOST OF THE POPULATION IDENTIFIES THEIR ETHNICITY AS NON-HISPANIC (81.36%), AND THE REMAINING 18.64% OF THE POPULATION IDENTIFIES AS HISPANIC OR LATINO (ACS, 2009-13). THIS BREAKDOWN IS SIMILAR TO THE PERCENTAGE OF INDIVIDUALS IN LEHIGH COUNTY SPECIFICALLY WHO IDENTIFY AS HISPANIC OR LATINO (19.58%) (ACS, 2009-13). ST. LUKES HOSPITAL ALLENTOWN CAMPUS: --------------------------------------- AS SEEN IN THE PIE CHART, WHEN BREAKING DOWN THE ST. LUKES ALLENTOWN SERVICE AREA POPULATION BY ETHNICITY, THERE IS STILL A MAJORITY OF THE POPULATION THAT IS NON-HISPANIC, BUT THE 22.13% OF THE POPULATION THAT IS HISPANIC OR LATINO IS LARGE, ESPECIALLY COMPARED TO THE OTHER HOSPITAL CAMPUSES WITHIN THE NETWORK (ACS 2009-13). POVERTY ======= ST. LUKES HOSPITAL BETHLEHEM CAMPUS: --------------------------------------- ACCORDING TO THE ACS (2009-13), THE PERCENT OF THE POPULATION THAT HAVE INCOMES THAT FALL AT OR BELOW 100% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL (FPL) IN THE ST. LUKES BETHLEHEM SERVICE AREA IS 13.49%. THIS IS COMPARED TO 13.3% OF THE POPULATION IN PENNSYLVANIA AND 15.37% OF THE U.S. POPULATION WHO HAVE INCOMES THAT FALL AT OR BELOW 100% OF THE FPL. IN 2015, THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL FOR A FAMILY OF FOUR WAS $ 24,250 (U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, 2015). ST. LUKES HOSPITAL ALLENTOWN CAMPUS: --------------------------------------- ACCORDING TO THE ACS (2009-13), 33.89% OF THE POPULATION IN THE ST. LUKES ALLENTOWN SERVICE AREA ARE LIVING WITH INCOMES AT OR BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL (FPL), THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE NATIONAL AVERAGE OF 34.23%, BUT IS SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN THE PENNSYLVANIA AVERAGE OF 30.51%. THERE ARE LARGE SECTIONS OF ALLENTOWN ZIP CODES SUCH AS 18102, 18103, AND 18109 THAT HAVE OVER 50% OF THEIR POPULATION LIVING AT 200% OF THE FPL.

In FY '16, SL-Bethlehem invested more than $16.9 million in technologic and facility improvements. Investments included the acquisition of the Medical Office Building adjacent to the hospital complex, fit out of the Bethlehem Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation Center and completed renovation to two inpatient nursing floors. Infrastructural improvements were made to the hospital roof through the replacement of the coping stones, combined with various heating, ventilation and air conditioning improvements, along with other general construction projects. New technological investments included an MRI Upgrade and related room renovation, Cardiac Cath Lab Mac Upgrades, the purchase of Pulse Oximeter Monitoring Equipment, Radiation Oncology HDR equipment, Arctic Sun warmer units and various other equipment supporting the OR, physical therapy and numerous other departments. The Network continued to expand access and visibility to strengthen its referral base in Monroe County. A purchase agreement was signed for a 39-acre site for a proposed new St. Luke's hospital tentatively scheduled to open in Fall 2016. Additionally, the Network acquired a pediatric practice and opened St. Luke's Heart & Vascular Center in East Stroudsburg, Monroe County. St. Luke's Physician Group employs 22 full-time primary care providers and GI, Pulmonary, Orthopaedic, OB/GYN, Nephrology, Neurosurgery, Urology, Vascular Surgery, Medical and Surgical Oncology specialists in Monroe County. Areas of Exceptional Medical Expertise include: Trauma ------ Level I Adult Trauma Center: awarded three-year accreditation with no significant issues identified by Pennsylvania Trauma Systems Foundation; more than 3,945 trauma cases network-wide in FY16. Oncology -------- St. Luke's provides cancer services throughout its Network, providing care to approximately 2,900 new oncology patients each year. St. Luke's has three comprehensive outpatient cancer centers that provide physician outpatient services, infusion and radiation therapy, located in Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton (Anderson Campus), and also provides cancer services in Quakertown, Coaldale, East Stroudsburg and Warren County, NJ. St. Luke's is one of only two healthcare networks in Pennsylvania to earn national three-year accreditation with commendation as an integrated network cancer program from the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons, and one of only 51 healthcare networks nationwide; recognized for achieving the highest level of quality and patient safety in Radiation Oncology, earning a three-year accreditation from the American College of Radiology (ACR). St. Luke's Cancer Center is staffed by a team of fellowship-trained cancer experts specializing in surgical oncology, medical oncology, radiation oncology, gynecologic oncology, thoracic surgery, urologic surgery and neurosurgical oncology. The Center emphasizes patient satisfaction and treats all types of cancer, including: abdominal, bone and joint, brain and spine, breast, colon and rectum, cancer of the digestive system, gynecologic, head and neck, liver, lung/thoracic, lymphoma/leukemia, melanoma, prostate, thyroid/endocrine system and urinary. The Center offers advanced programs for melanoma, lung, breast, brain and spine, prostate, gynecological and gastrointestinal cancers. St. Luke's takes a multidisciplinary approach to treating cancer as a complex group of diseases that requires consultation among surgeons, medical and radiation oncologists, diagnostic radiologists, pathologists and other cancer specialists. This multidisciplinary partnership results in improved patient care and offers the full cancer care spectrum including prevention, early diagnosis, cancer staging, optimal treatment, rehabilitation, life-long follow-up for recurrent disease, palliative and end-of-life care. Cancer patients only need to call one phone number (Hope Line) in order to access the oncology services at SLUHN. St. Lukes Brain and Spine Tumor Center was the first in the region to offer "Frameless Stereotactic Radiosurgery" (SRS) for malignant and benign brain tumors. The frameless system uses surface mapping, tracking and the patients facial features during treatments, allowing SRS to be performed non-invasively, without using traditional frame-based immobilization devices (no pins into the skull). This provides more comfortable, faster treatment and recovery experience that is not available anywhere else in the region. Laser Interstitial Therapy (LITT) using Visualase, an MRI-guided laser ablation system is another breakthrough in treatment of brain cancer, and also a regional first. By delivering light energy through a laser applicator, LITT can precisely locate intracranial soft tissue lesions and destroy them. It is frequently the preferred treatment for patients with a recurrence of a tumor that has already been treated with SRS. INTRABEAM IORT technology is available at St. Lukes Anderson Campus. This procedure spares some women with early stage breast cancer weeks of radiation therapy. Using low energy X-rays, INTRABEAM is precisely administered to the tumor bed following lumpectomy before the incision is closed. Some early stage breast cancers may be treated with only a single treatment while others may require additional standard radiation therapy but over a shorter time period.
CORE FORM, PART III, STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS	Cardiology and Cardiovascular Surgery ------------------------------------- The only hospital in region named one of nation's top cardiovascular hospitals, six-year recipient (Truven, formerly Thomson-Reuters, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2012, 2014); multiple-year recipient of highest rating for cardiac surgery, represents top decile performance achieved by only 6 percent of U.S. hospitals (Society of Thoracic Surgery, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015), lowest mortality index in the region for heart disease and heart surgery patients; region's first accredited chest pain center; region's first Joint Commission-certified heart failure program.

St. Lukes Regional Breast Center in Center Valley provides diagnostic mammograms and higher-level breast imaging. St. Lukes Womens Imaging Centers in Allentown, Coaldale, Upper Perkiomen and Phillipsburg offer low-dose 3D mammography with SensorySuite from GE Healthcare. In the Suite, women are surrounded by an interactive experience that stimulates the senses and reduces anxiety. The 3D technology uses a low-dose, short X-ray sweep around the compressed breast. This imaging technique is designed to separate the tissues and reduce the overlapping of structures to create a clearer image. A fully-accredited vascular lab offers the latest ultrasound imaging, the Logic 9, which provides 3-D ultrasound images for optimal diagnosis. St. Luke's Anderson Campus features advanced technologies including a wide-bore MRI that offers uncompromised image quality and a high-definition, low-dose CT that reduces radiation exposure up to 50 percent. St. Lukes University Hospital in Bethlehem, St. Lukes Warren Campus and St. Lukes Monroe Campus offer GEs Silent Scan MRI technology which turns down the volume during an MRI exam significantly, reducing anxiety and the need for repeat scans.

NEW JERSEY AWARDS ----------------- 1) NJHA Excellence in Quality Improvement Award (2013, 2014) Affiliation - Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University ================================================================ According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, our nation faces an anticipated shortage of 91,000 physicians by 2020 and 140,000 by 2025. To ensure continued regional access to physicians, St. Luke's and the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University (LKSOM) developed the first and only medical school campus in the greater Lehigh Valley Temple/St. Lukes School of Medicine. Enrolled students complete the first year at Temple, followed by years two, three and four at St. Luke's University Hospital in Bethlehem. The inaugural class graduated in May 2015. The School expects to graduate 300 physicians in ten years of which the School hopes to retain 50 percent in the greater Lehigh Valley. The courses and competencies of this program are identical to the requirements for students training the full four years at the Temple Campus in Philadelphia. Students applying to the program are interviewed at St. Luke's by St. Luke's physicians who are faculty members of LKSOM. Clinical medical skills, interpersonal and communication skills, professionalism, multiculturalism, socioeconomic and social and ethical issues are taught throughout the four years. St. Luke's physicians, who are faculty members of LKSOM, teach the first year doctoring course in Philadelphia. St. Luke's is also a Comprehensive Clinical Teaching Campus for LKSOM. Approximately 16 third and fourth-year medical students enrolled at the Temple Campus may complete their clinical rotations at St. Luke's University Hospital. St. Luke's also trains students from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and other medical schools that rotate on electives at St. Luke's. Graduate Medical Education and Other Education Programs ======================================================= St. Luke's has a long history of involvement in medical education, especially graduate medical education, and is one of only 400 members of the prestigious Council of Teaching Hospitals. St. Luke's is dedicated to quality medical education coupled with compassionate patient-centered, technologically sophisticated care. The goal of St. Luke's graduate medical education program is to train young physicians who will have the knowledge and skills to enter private practice and/or go into fellowships for further training. Medical education programs are conducted primarily at the Bethlehem, Allentown and Warren campuses. Each year, more than 180 interns/residents/fellows train at St. Luke's 23 fully accredited programs which include: Dental, Emergency Medicine (dually accredited allopathic and osteopathic), Family Medicine (dually accredited allopathic and osteopathic at Bethlehem and Warren), General Surgery, Internal Medicine (dually accredited allopathic and osteopathic), OB-GYN, Orthopedic Physical Therapy, Orthopedic Surgery, Pharmacy, Podiatric Medicine and Surgery residencies; and Cardiovascular Disease, Geriatric Medicine, Hospice and Palliative Care Medicine, Podiatric Dermatology, Sports Medicine and Surgical Critical Care fellowships. More than 200 members of St. Luke's medical staff hold faculty appointments at prestigious medical schools including the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University, The University of Pennsylvania and Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. St. Luke's also conducts postgraduate continuing medical education through its sponsorship of more than 500 annual continuing medical education (CME) programs for physicians, nurses and ancillary healthcare professionals. St. Luke's offers clinical rotations in the following advanced practitioner programs: certified registered nurse anesthetist program, certified registered nurse practitioners programs (enrollees from DeSales University, Drexel University, University of Pennsylvania, Walden University, Georgetown University, Temple University, Thomas Jefferson University and others), emergency medicine PA/NP fellowships, trauma/surgical critical care PA/NP fellowships, physician assistant program (enrollees from DeSales, Drexel, King's College, Pennsylvania, Arcadia, Salus University and others) and the only formal physician assistant observer programs. St. Luke's serves as a major training site for undergraduate and graduate nursing students from St. Luke's School of Nursing, Moravian College, DeSales University, Cedar Crest College, Northampton Community College, Lehigh Carbon Community College, Bucks County Community College and the Pennsylvania State Universitys Lehigh Valley campus. St. Luke's serves as a major training site for allied health advanced practitioners. More than 300 allied health students annually spend more than 63,400 hours at St. Luke's - an average of 250 hours per student. Allied health professionals work in teams to facilitate functionality of the healthcare system through provision of a range of diagnostic, technical, therapeutic and direct patient care and support services. Allied health professionals train in many disciplines including: lab, medical assistants, MRI, nuclear medicine, phlebotomy, physical/occupational therapy, athletic trainers, radiology and respiratory care. Students from 22 colleges, universities and technical institutes are enrolled in St. Luke's programs. St. Luke's also trains students in surgical technology in its own school of surgical technology. Additional education programs include: pastoral care and hospital administration internships. St. Luke's also routinely hosts high school student for health care career exploration observational experiences. St. Luke's School of Nursing ============================ St. Luke's University Hospital of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania was the fourth hospital in the country to operate a school for nurses.

St. Luke's also accepts requests for donations to fellow non-profit institutions. St. Luke's Community Health Department supports the mission of the Bethlehem Partnership (Partnership) for a Healthy Community which focuses on improving the health status and quality of life of the community, especially those with limited resources.

Currently more than 200 participating/funding agencies, including those from local business, government, educational and community organizations, are actively involved in Partnership programs.

The Partnership philosophy is through community participation with shared responsibility, the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellness of individuals and the quality of life in the community can be enhanced. Services are provided primarily to at-risk and underserved children and adults through St. Luke's four mobile health/dental vans. Bonnie Coyle, MD, has served as medical director for the Bethlehem Area School District, at no cost to the district, for 11 years.
