| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a Program Service Accomplishment | (Continued from Part III) In 2018, NHC, through its affiliate, Community Medical Associates, Inc., had approximately 2.2 million patient encounters. NHC's hospitals, diagnostic centers and Norton Cancer Institute (NCI) served 72,355 inpatients, 560,845 outpatients, and 249,388 emergency room visits. In addition NHC hospitals' operating rooms cared for 20,947 inpatient surgical patients and 35,751 outpatient surgical patients. Additionally, 7,564 babies were delivered at NHC birthing centers. As part of our commitment to improving the health of our community, NHC provides funding for a wide array of life-saving and life-enhancing services that benefit the communities we serve. In 2018, under its charity care program, NHC provided free care to 13,284 patients, at a cost of $13.4 million. Also, NHC grants patients a discount from billed charges to any individuals that have no access to private health insurance or do not qualify for government assistance or charity care. Under this program, 11,472 patients were provided care at discounted rates. Other contributions to the community were the unpaid cost of Medicaid services of $95.4 million and educational support of $43.3 million primarily to the University of Louisville's School of Medicine. Also community health improvement services totaled $10.1 million, and contributions to community groups were $3.2 million. As NHC representatives, our employees donated 53,607 hours of community benefit service, a benefit valued at more than $1.0 million. In addition, many employees self-reported personal volunteer activities. NHC provides programmatic support to the University of Louisville School of Medicine through funding and facilities. During the 2018 calendar year, 180 residents completed clinical rotations in 42 specialties at NHC facilities. Residency programs are part of the $43.3 million in educational support and clinical funding provided to the school. Contributions to the Community * NHC employees and physicians gave nearly $952,775 to the 2018-2019 Combined Giving Campaign to help support community organizations also committed to improving the health and well-being of community residents. Supported organizations include: the WHAS Crusade for Children, Metro United Way, Fund for the Arts, The Children's Hospital Foundation (CHF) and Norton Healthcare Foundation (NHF). * More than 140 NHC employees "Raised the Roof" on a Habitat for Humanity house on Broadleaf Drive in Louisville, Ky. This is the twelfth Habitat home NHC employees have built. * In 2018, more than 2,500 NHC employees donated time and funds to plan, purchase and deliver gifts, food and clothing for the Caring Tree program.

Community Education and Workforce Development As one of Kentucky's largest healthcare systems, NHC has established a culture of continual, lifelong learning through the departments of Workforce Development, Norton Institute for Nursing and Norton University. Workforce Development, encourages continuing education, improves job performance and provides financial assistance for designated educational programs related to the business operations of the organization. NHC encourages and supports employees and dependents career goals by providing financial assistance and scholarships as well as other advancement opportunities. Established in the early 2000's, the Office of Workforce Development has assisted more than 6,000 students (74 percent frontline) with tuition assistance. In 2018, Workforce Development financially supported 639 students with nearly $5.1 million in educational assistance programs. * Workforce Development Career Center served over 1,400 students. Each program participant worked directly with a Certified Career Management Coach, offering services in resume writing; career and educational exploration; financial assistance opportunities for educational pursuit; interviewing skills and mentoring. * Norton Scholars Accelerated Program, a student loan program, for employees and non-employees, provides educational funding to students interested in pursuing designated healthcare careers. It is an affiliation between NHC and over 100 colleges and universities nationally. This program has 2,736 graduates and 2,228 of these graduates have continued their careers with NHC. * In 2014, NHC was a National Fund for Workforce Solutions CareerSTAT Frontline Worker Champion. Since 2011, NHC, through Workforce Development, has been a partner with the city of Louisville through a summer job and internship program known as the Mayor Summers Work Program, to give young adults an opportunity to be employed in our healthcare environment during the summer months. In 2018, NHC evolved the Summer Works program into a strategic pipeline development program in conjunction with our public school system. Jefferson County Public Schools created an Academy model in which students have the opportunity to select focused education and industry recognized credentials in high school. NHC transformed the summer program and previous high school scholarships into a comprehensive three tiered academy apprentice program for healthcare academy students. The model is a three tiered apprentice model: Explorer, Summer Extern, and Apprentice. Beginning with a student's junior year, the student will explore career pathways in one of 4 key areas: Patient Care, Medical Office, Allied Health, and Pharmacy Technician. NHC primarily focused on Patient Care and Medical Office in 2018. Each phase offers a rigorous curriculum, business acumen, and professional development, as well as hands on learning opportunities in the career field of their choice. Thirty students participated in the 2018 pilot program. Retention was 100 percent over the first year. To date, NHC has transitioned over 20 of the 30 into full staff positions with the organization post completion of the program offering tuition assistance to continue their academic and career pursuits while working in the field of their choice. * The Student Nurse Apprenticeship program is a 12-to-18-month apprenticeship in which nursing students will work and engage in hands-on learning with an experienced mentor, in addition to becoming acclimated to NHC. Top area student nurses with good grades, good references and a desire to be the best will gain the skills and the confidence to deliver quality patient care. Norton University provides learning opportunities to enhance the professional, educational, and personal development of all employees. Norton University's Value Proposition states "Norton University nurtures learning and relationships to inspire change that leads to exceptional experiences for both patients and employees." In 2018, Norton University held 270,525 learning events, an average of 18 trainings per employee. In 2018, 136,697 web-based training courses and 51,829 instructor-led courses were completed by leaders and staff of all disciplines. * Elevating the First Line Employee, School at Work, College at Work, and Career Coaching programs expose entry-level staff to healthcare careers and help them obtain a higher level position, GED, or college degree. * Leadership development programs support the development of leaders (Nursing, Physician Practices, Physician, and System) across the continuum. * Organizational development activities that assist in creating a more effective and efficient workplace with highly engaged employees while working in the field of their choice. Norton Faith and Health Ministries Norton Faith and Health Ministries (FHM) works with churches and faith communities to weave health and faith together, promoting the intentional integration of faith, healing, and wellness through the development of health ministries. FHM provides mentoring, educational resources, and networking opportunities to assist health ministry coordinators and faith community nurses minister to their churches.

Norton Neuroscience Institute Founded in 2009, Norton Neuroscience Institute (NNI) is continuing its quest to be the regional and national leader in treatment, research and academic training for adult and pediatric neuroscience disciplines. NNI allows patients to be treated for neurological disorders without having to leave the region for care. Subspecialty neurosurgeons, neurologists, and other neurological-related specialists have joined the growing institute. These physicians and advanced level practitioners provide expertise in stroke care, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, ALS, brain tumors, headaches, concussions, spine care, and many other neurological conditions. * Kentucky is considered to be part of the stroke belt, a region of the US that sees a high number of incidents of stroke cases. As a result, NNI has committed to being a leader in stroke care. NBH is a designated Comprehensive Stroke Center while Norton, Audubon, and NWCH are all certified Primary Stroke Centers. * Neurosurgeons with NNI were the first in Kentucky to use minimally invasive surgery techniques to include robotic surgery, laser ablation and SEEG in the treatment of brain tumors and epilepsy for both pediatric and adult patients. * NNI offers treatment for all neurological disorders including aneurysm, brain tumor, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and stroke care. The neurologists and neurosurgeons subspecialize and are fellowship trained. They all work together for the patient, providing multidisciplinary programs in areas of brain tumor, ALS, movement disorders, epilepsy and stroke). * Norton Spine Care offers advanced treatment options of spine conditions ranging from chiari malformation, degenerative disc diseases, scoliosis, spinal stenosis as well as tumors and infections of the spine. * Norton Spine Care which is comprised of Norton Leatherman Spine Center, NNI Spine Care and Norton Spine Specialists, is a multidisciplinary program that embraces a combined orthopedic and neurosurgical approach to spine care. The center's surgeons have pioneered many important breakthroughs in spinal treatment that are performed in the U.S. and around the world. In fact, patients from as far away as South America, Southeast Asia, and Europe have traveled to Louisville for treatment. * Patients served by NCH, the only free standing children's hospital in Kentucky, are fortunate to be cared for by three fellowship trained pediatric neurosurgeons.

Support from CHF allows the pediatric specialists at NCH to continue to respond to the unique medical needs of children from birth to age 18. This 300-bed hospital is the only full-service, free-standing pediatric hospital in Kentucky, level 1 pediatric trauma center in Kentucky, and the primary teaching facility for the University of Louisville School of Medicine Department of Pediatrics. In order to continue to address the community's need for specialized pediatric care and meet the ever-growing needs at NCH, 2018 brought several specific fundraising initiatives forward to donors and the community at large. These efforts focused on raising funds for pediatric cancer, neurology, and neurosurgery, Type I diabetes, trauma, and emergency care to name a few. Workforce, research, and facilities serve to guide the fundraising growth in each of the aforementioned pediatric services. Additionally, ongoing areas of need, such as child advocacy, pediatric pastoral care, bereavement programs, endowed research chairs, specialty therapies, child life, expressive and music therapies, continue to be areas of funding and priority for the CHF to ensure a truly "Just for Kids" experience for patients and families. CHF continues to expand partnerships within the community and enhance the hospital's ability to serve all children regardless of their families' ability to pay. The strength and value of the community's support and support of all programs, the foundation awarded approximately $12.0 million in grants for capital, programs and patient financial assistance to the hospitals in 2018 including: * Funding for the Jennifer Lawrence Cardiac Intensive Care Unit at NCH. * Funding for the renovation and upgrades of the neonatal intensive care unit, including the purchase of NicView for NCH and NWCH. |

| Form 990, Part XI, Line 9 Other changes in Net Assets or Fund Balance | In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07 Compensation -Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (ASU 2017-07), which changes how employers that sponsor defined benefit pension present the net periodic benefit cost in the statement of operations. ASU 2017-07 requires employers to present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same statement of operations line items as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. Employers are to present the other components of net periodic benefit cost separately from the line item that includes the service cost and outside of any subtotal of operating income, if one is presented. Employers will have to disclose the lines used to present the other components of net periodic benefit cost, if the components are not presented separately in the statement of operations. The corporation elected to adopt the provisions of ASU 2017-07 as of January 1, 2017. The non-contribution defined benefit pension plan was frozen effective January 1, 2010. As a result no service cost was incurred during the year ended December 31, 2018. The other components of net periodic pension cost was $11.4 million for year ended December 31, 2018. |
