| DESCRIPTION OF THE ORGANIZATION'S MISSION | FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 CENTRAL VERMONT MEDICAL CENTER TRUSTEES AND ITS STAFF ARE COMMITTED TO PROVIDING EXCELLENT CARE TO CENTRAL VERMONTERS. TO STAY ABREAST OF BEST PRACTICES, CVMC COLLABORATES WITH MANY HEALTHCARE ENTITIES TO ENSURE THIS COMMITMENT. PARTICIPATING IN THE JOINT COMMISSION ACCREDITATIONS PROCESS IS ONE MEASURE OF HOW CVMC CONTINUOUSLY STRIVES TO IMPROVE THE SAFETY AND QUALITY OF CARE PROVIDED TO ITS PATIENTS. THE HOSPITAL AND THE PHYSICIAN PRACTICE GROUPS (CVMGP, CENTRAL VERMONT MEDICAL GROUP PRACTICES) WERE ACCREDITED IN JANUARY 2016 FOR A THREE YEAR PERIOD. JOINT COMMISSION ACCREDITATION IS THE EQUIVALENT OF THE GOOD HOUSEKEEPING "SEAL OF APPROVAL" FOR MEDICAL CENTERS. THE JOINT COMMISSION EVALUATES THE QUALITY AND SAFETY OF CARE PROVIDED BY HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS. TO EARN AND MAINTAIN ACCREDITATION, ORGANIZATIONS MUST HAVE AN EXTENSIVE ON-SITE REVIEW BY A TEAM OF JOINT COMMISSION HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS AT LEAST ONCE EVERY THREE YEARS. THE PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW IS TO EVALUATE THE ORGANIZATION'S PERFORMANCE IN AREAS THAT AFFECT PATIENT CARE. ACCREDITATION IS AWARDED BASED ON HOW WELL THE ORGANIZATION MEETS THE JOINT COMMISSION STANDARDS. CVMC PROVIDES CARE TO PATIENTS WHO MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA UNDER ITS CHARITY CARE POLICY WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ITS ESTABLISHED RATES. ALL OF CVMC'S SERVICES, INCLUDING EMERGENCY CARE, ARE PROVIDED TO ALL PERSONS REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 2 THERE IS A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DR.
