| Form 990, Part III, Line 1 ORGANIZATION'S MISSION | The mission of the Corporation is to nurture the healing ministry of the Church, supported by education and research. Fidelity to the Gospel urges the Corporation to emphasize human dignity and social justice as it creates healthier communities. The Corporation, sponsored by a lay-religious partnership, calls other Catholic sponsors and systems to unite to ensure the future of Catholic health care. To fulfill this mission, the Corporation, as a values-based organization, will assure the integrity of the ministry in both current and developing organizations and activities; research and develop new ministries that integrate health, education, pastoral, and social services; promote leadership development and formation for ministry throughout the entire organization; advocate for systemic changes with specific concern for persons who are poor, alienated, and underserved; and steward resources by general oversight of the entire organization. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 15 COMPENSATION | During the tax year ended 6/30/2018, no officers, directors or trustees received compensation from the organization. Any executive compensation paid to officers, directors or trustees by related organizations was set by the related organization's compensation committee utilizing both an independent consultant and comparability studies to determine compensation. Therefore, these questions are more appropriately answered as N/A. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of Interest Policy | The Board Chair or designee shall make such further investigation of any conflict of interest disclosures as he or she may deem appropriate. If the conflict involves the Board Chair, the Vice Chair will assume the Chair's role outlined in the COI Policy. Based on review and evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances, the Board Chair will make an initial determination as to whether a conflict of interest exists and whether, pursuant to the COI Policy, review and approval or other action by the Board is required. A written record of the Board Chair's determination, including relevant facts and circumstances, will be made. The Board Chair shall then make an appropriate report to the Executive Committee of the Board concerning such review, evaluation and determination. If a difference of opinion exists between the Board Chair and another Trustee as to whether the facts and circumstances of a given situation constitute a conflict of interest or whether Board review and approval or other action is required within the COI Policy, the matter shall be submitted to the Board's Executive Committee, which shall make a final determination as to the matter presented. Such determination, including relevant facts and circumstances, will be reflected in the Executive Committee minutes and will be reported to the Board. The Board shall carefully scrutinize and must in good faith approve or disapprove any transaction in which CHI or a CHI Entity is a party and in which the Trustee or Corporate Officer either: * Has a material financial interest; or * Is a Trustee or Corporate Officer of the other party (other than a CHI-affiliated organization). The Board must approve the transaction by a majority of the Trustees on the Board, without counting the vote of any individual who has an interest in the transaction. In reviewing such transactions between CHI or CHI Entities and vendors or other contractors who are, or are affiliated with, Trustees or Corporate Officers, the Board shall act no more or less favorably than it would in reviewing transactions with unrelated third parties. The transaction will not be approved unless the Board determines that the transaction is fair to CHI or the CHI Entity. The Board shall carefully review and scrutinize any non-transactional conflict of interest (e.g., disclosure of nonpublic information, competition with CHI or a CHI Entity, failure to disclose a corporate opportunity, excessive gifts or entertainment, etc.). By a majority vote of the disinterested Trustees, the Board shall take whatever action is deemed appropriate with respect to the Trustee or Corporate Officer under the circumstances, including possible disciplinary or corrective action, in order to best protect the interests of CHI or the CHI Entity. The Board should consult with the General Counsel of CHI or his or her designee when considering disciplinary or corrective action. When any conflict of interest is considered by the Board, the Trustee or Corporate Officer, as appropriate, must disclose all of the material facts to the Board. The Trustee shall not vote and the Trustee or Corporate Officer shall not use his or her personal influence on the matter. However, if requested, such Trustee or Corporate Officer is not prevented from briefly stating his or her position in the matter, nor from answering pertinent questions from Trustees, as his or her knowledge may be of significant importance. The Trustee or Corporate Officer shall be excused from the meeting during discussion and vote on the conflict of interest. Minutes of the Board shall reflect the following: the individual making the disclosure, the nature of the disclosure, discussion regarding any proposed transaction, the decision made by the Board, and that the interested Trustee or Corporate Officer was excused during the discussion, and that the interested Trustee abstained from voting. If the Board reasonably believes that a Trustee or Corporate Officer has failed to disclose either an actual or potential conflict of interest, or all material facts surrounding an actual or possible conflict as required by the COI Policy, the Trustee or Corporate Officer will be given an opportunity to explain such alleged failure to disclose. After hearing the response of the Trustee or Corporate Officer, the Board will conduct such additional investigation as may be appropriate. If the Board determines that the Trustee or Corporate Officer has in fact failed to disclose as required by the COI Policy, the Board shall take appropriate disciplinary or corrective action. All determinations of conflicts of interest are reported as required by law, regulations, and CHI policy. |

| Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy | Catholic Health Initiatives ("CHI") has a Conflicts of Interest ("COI") policy (the "Policy") in place to maintain the integrity of all of its activities. The Policy applies to CHI Board of Stewardship Trustees and members of its committees; all CHI Entity board and board committee members; all CHI employees; and all CHI research personnel (both employed and non-employed). Disclosure, review and management of perceived, potential or actual conflicts of interest are accomplished through a defined COI disclosure review process. Each Person must promptly and fully disclose to his/her direct manager, supervisor, medical staff office, board or board committee chair any situation or circumstance that may create a conflict of interest. The Person must disclose the actual or potential conflict as soon as she/he becomes aware of it. In any situation where the Person may be in doubt, a full disclosure should be made to permit an impartial and objective determination. In addition to the general ongoing obligation, there are initial disclosure obligations. At the time of initial appointment, a copy of the Policy shall be distributed to the board or committee member along with a conflict of interest disclosure. The board or committee member will complete and submit the disclosure. The completed disclosure shall be maintained in confidence and access shall be limited to persons who have a reasonable need to know the contents. At the time of hiring, a copy of the Policy shall be distributed to all Employees. In addition, a conflict of interest disclosure will be provided. The Employee must complete and submit a conflict of interest disclosure. The completed disclosure shall be maintained in confidence and access shall be limited to persons who have a reasonable need to know the contents. In addition to the general ongoing and initial disclosure obligations, there is an annual disclosure obligation. On an annual basis, the following Persons must complete a new conflict of interest disclosure: * Board and board committee members; * Employees at the level of vice president and above; * Researchers; * Supply Chain Employees at the level of vice president and above and those employees involved in contracting regardless of employment level; * Other Employees as deemed applicable by CHI Leadership; Disclosures of perceived, potential or actual conflicts involving financial interests are forwarded to the Conflicts of Interest Review Committee ("C-CIRC"), National or Regional Legal Services, National, Entity, or Research Corporate Responsibility Program, or the Executive Committee of the Board or Board Chair, for review depending on the position of the person involved. Among the factors that should be considered in determining whether a conflict exists are the nature and magnitude of the opportunity, transaction or arrangement, the degree to which it is related to CHI's business, whether the Person with the conflict is the ultimate decision-maker or holds significant influence over the ultimate decision-maker (i.e., degree of independence of the decision-making process), the unique nature of the opportunity, transaction or arrangement, the existence of other viable alternatives and the quality of those alternatives, and what is customary and reasonable in the health care or research industry. When a Person has, or is considering initiating, a business interest or relationship outside of CHI but is uncertain whether the interest constitutes a conflict of interest requiring disclosure under this Policy, the Person should consult with local Corporate Responsibility Program (CRP) staff or CHI Legal Services Group (LSG) staff, as appropriate. As appropriate, a COI management plan will be developed. With respect to those audiences for which the C-CIRC has review responsibility, the C-CIRC will facilitate development of any such COI management plan in collaboration with local CRP staff or CHI LSG staff, as appropriate. This plan will include documentation of the C-CIRC's determinations and recommendations. As necessary, reports to an appropriate governmental agency or sponsor will be made according to the relevant appendices to this Policy to provide required information regarding how the conflict of interest will be managed, reduced, or eliminated. Designated CHI Entity staff are responsible for monitoring the COI management plan and for documenting monitoring activities. At its sole discretion, a CHI Entity may reject a Person's request to enter into the relationship in question, or require the relationship be sufficiently altered to avoid a potential conflict of interest. The C-CIRC will determine whether a disclosed or otherwise identified interest is a conflict of interest. If the C-CIRC determines that a potential or actual conflict of interest exists that does not currently have appropriate controls to address the conflict of interest, it may recommend that the disclosing Person be allowed to participate in the activity or transaction subject to restrictions as outlined in a written COI management plan. All determinations of conflicts of interest will be reported as required by law, regulations, and CHI policy. If a Person, other than a board or board committee member or corporate officer, required to complete a COI disclosure does not agree with a determination made by the C-CIRC, its interpretation of the COI Policy, still seeks an exemption or exception, or seeks further clarification of the C-CIRC's decision, the following steps should be followed. Within a reasonable period of time after receiving notice of the C-CIRC's decision, the Person must present the matter to the Person's immediate direct manager or supervisor (or in the case of a Researcher, to [fill in the title or position to whom Researchers report]) and request reconsideration, submitting at that time any new or additional information that may support or recommend reconsideration. If the Person's manager individually or in consultation with the manager's Vice President (or higher if the manager is a Vice President) finds that new information supporting reconsideration has been presented, the manager will contact local or National CRP staff, as appropriate, and request that the matter be re-presented to the C-CIRC. The C-CIRC will be reconvened for this purpose and, following such reconsideration, issue a final determination. This appeals process is intended to be narrowly applied, as Persons seeking conflict of interest exemptions or exceptions are expected to offer all available information supporting an exemption or exception at the time the matter is first presented to the C-CIRC. Management of actual or potential conflicts of interest of board or board committee members and corporate officers will be determined by the appropriate board, as reflected in the Policy. Reviews and determinations involving board and board committee members and corporate officers will be the responsibility of the board, board executive committee, or board chair, with guidance from the Legal Services Group (LSG). Each Trustee and Corporate Officer must promptly and fully report to the Board Chair situations that may create a conflict of interest when he or she becomes aware of such situations. In any situation when a Trustee or Corporate Officer is in doubt, full disclosure should be made to permit an impartial and objective determination. A written record of the disclosure will be made. In addition to the ongoing disclosure obligation, all Trustees and Corporate Officers shall complete a COI disclosure questionnaire on an annual basis. A copy of the COI Policy shall be available to Trustees and Corporate Officers. Definitions of terms used in the disclosure questionnaire/form shall also be included. Each Trustee and Corporate Officer must promptly complete the COI disclosure. COI disclosures that involve no disclosures of conflicts of interest will not require review. Disclosures of perceived, potential or actual conflicts of interest on the COI questionnaire involving financial interests will be reviewed by National or Regional LSG.. (Continued on Schedule O) |

| Form 990, Part III, Line 4A Program Service Accomplishments | Memorial Healthcare System Foundation Community Benefit Narrative For the Year ended 6/30/18 I. Mission Memorial Health Care System Foundation (the Foundation) was founded in January 2001 to raise awareness and funds exclusively for CHI Memorial Health Care System, a tax exempt health care system. The mission of Catholic Health Initiatives and Memorial Health Care System is to nurture the healing ministry of the Church, supported by education and research. Catholic Health Initiatives and MHCS are committed to fidelity to the Gospel, with emphasis on human dignity and social justice as we create healthier communities. The funds raised by the Foundation allow Memorial to extend its mission of medical excellence further into the community. The Foundation has a governing Board comprised of community representatives that represent the diverse populations within the Chattanooga area. II. Community Benefit In FY 2018, the Foundation raised funds through special events, annual giving, major gifts, planned giving, corporate/foundation grants and capital campaigns to fund capital equipment, provide medical services to underserved populations, support community outreach programs, scholarships to students pursuing healthcare careers, and an endowment fund. In FY 18, the Foundation raised $3.7 million for these purposes and disbursed $2.7 million to support Memorial Health Care System nonprofit health care services. Since its inception, the Foundation has raised $45.2 million and disbursed $38.2 million to support Memorial Health Care System's mission. Community services have always been a significant part of Memorial Healthcare System. Each year, services and programs offered to the community are evaluated and expanded to promote both increased access to healthcare and healthier communities. To enhance the health status of Chattanoogans, Memorial focuses on the whole person including the person's spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being. Highlighted below are some of the programs or capital expenditures that have been made possible through funding from the Foundation. Opioid Crisis In Tennessee, at least 1269 people died in 2017 from an opioid related overdose. We are in the top 15 of all states in drug overdose rates. This crisis touches individuals, families, schools, agencies and employers. Cardinal Health is committed to fighting the opioid addiction and misuse and has partnered with Memorial Health Care System. One of the programs Memorial participated in with Cardinal is distribution of Narcan to first responders and law enforcement. Cardinal donated $201,054 in Narcan Nasal Spray(1800 doses). This drug is used to counteract the life threatening effects of an opioid overdose. In addition, Cardinal donated $35,000 to implement a program in the Emergency Department to help decrease opioid prescription rates. Rees Skillern Cancer Institute In honor of the donor's son's wishes, who battled cancer for many years and received much of his treatment at Memorial Hospital, a generous donation of $3 million was given to the Foundation to help advance cancer care in the local Chattanooga community. This generous gift funded three highly specialized services that were not currently available in the Chattanooga region. High risk genetic counseling, a multi-disciplinary resource for adult cancer survivors, and greater access to the latest treatments in cancer. The high risk survivorship clinic was designed and built in FY 14 and began treating patients in FY 15. The contribution also funded an interior and exterior renovation of the newly named Rees Skillern Cancer Institute. Buz Standefer Lung Center Through donations, Memorial Health Care System has created a world-class Lung Center that revolutionizes care for our region. Lung diseases, including lung cancer, are some of the most debilitating and frightening of all medical issues. The Lung Center allows patients suffering from emphysema, asthma, lung cancer, pulmonary fibrosis, and other pulmonary diseases to seek care from pulmonary medicine experts in an environment that diminishes anxiety and fear, allowing the patient and family to be embraced by a team of people who are focused on their specific needs. The Lung Center at Memorial aspires to be the ultimate regional epicenter for lung health, providing the most comprehensive care available. Smoking remains the highest risk factor for lung disease. Within our region, smoking rates range from 20% in Hamilton County to 30% in Catoosa County. One in four Tennesseans smoke, and smoking is responsible for 87% of lung cancers. As a result, every county in our region exceeds the national rates for lung cancer mortality rates. Through the creation of the new Lung Center, Memorial is determined to improve these bleak statistics. The Lung Center at Memorial treats those who have current health issues related to lung disease but also proactively educates and screens the community, with the overall goal of dramatically changing these numbers. As a part of Thoracic Center of Excellence, Memorial offers a lung screening program to help detect lung cancer earlier. In the latter part of FY 15, Medicare announced coverage for this service for individuals who meet specific eligibility criteria. For those who do not meet this criteria, we offer the CT screening to the patient at no cost. In FY 18, 47 CT lung screenings were performed at no charge. The Foundation also raised funds to purchase a mobile coach in FY 18 called the Breathe Easy. MHCS became the first provider of mobile lung screening in the region and has been able to provide screenings to under served and under insured patients through Foundation funding of the coach and no charge screenings. In order to properly diagnose and treat suspicious lung nodules, the Foundation provided $438 thousand in funding for new software needed to perform interventional pulmonology procedures. CHI Memorial Community Health Center- Hixson CHI Memorial Community Health Center-Hixson opened its new location in FY 15 to better serve the residents of North Chattanooga, Red Bank, Hixson and all communities north of the river. The Foundation was able to provide $350,000 initially in funding for this new facility through generous donations both locally and nationally. CHI Memorial Community Health Centers offer a wide range of services for under served teens and adults including: * Primary health care * Well-woman checks, including annual pelvic exams and Pap tests * Adult Physicals * Screenings * Diagnosis and management of chronic diseases * Patient counseling as needed * Laboratory services * X-ray services * Patient education * Educational programs A social worker is employed by this community health clinic to provide psychosocial support to clinic patients including enrollment in government assistance programs, providing information on prescription drug assistance programs, address barriers to healthcare access, and refer patients to other services. The Foundation provided $40,000 in funding for this non reimbursable service that is provided to low income and at risk patients. The Foundation has also raised funds for Basic Needs for these patients. Funds raised were used to purchase toiletries, provide transportation assistance and food for patients in need. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4A Program Service Accomplishments Part II | Mary Ellen Locher Breast Center The Foundation assists the hospital in obtaining grants to fund breast services and education to underserved women. Since 2001, the Chattanooga affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. has been awarding funds to provide underserved women with access to mammograms. Additional funding from Pfizer was also provided to fund screening mammograms for underinsured and underserved women. A mobile mammography coach was purchased through funding from the Tennessee Women's Health Initiative and donations from SunTrust and Chattem Inc. This has enabled us to reach women in outlying communities since March of 2005. Since that time, almost 55,000 mammograms have been given on the mobile mammography coach, many of which have been funded through the Komen grant and the TN Breast and Cervical Care Program. In 2009, upgrades to our mobile coach were also funded through Foundation donations. This program has been so successful; the Foundation raised $725,000 in FY 2011 to fund a second mobile coach since the original coach could not meet all the demand for its services. The second coach also offers digital mammography and expands services to include clinical breast and pelvic exams. In FY 12, an anonymous donor provided their first grant of $35,000 to assist with funding pap smears and mammograms for underserved women on the mobile coach. After demonstrating how we were able to use those funds to serve underserved women, they have granted additional grants of $185,000. In FY 18 of the 4,385 women participating in the outreach breast cancer screening programs, 250 received abnormal mammogram results and 3 of these women were diagnosed with breast cancer. All women are provided breast screening services regardless of their ability to pay through Memorial Health Care System. The grants we discussed above only cover a portion of the costs incurred by the hospital to provide breast related services. The rest of the cost is covered through hospital funds as a community benefit. The Foundation's support of the hospital allows the hospital to provide more community benefit programs than they would otherwise be able to provide. Once diagnosed with cancer and in treatment we continue offering support to our uninsured and underserved women by providing newly diagnosed patients education and navigation through treatment, mastectomy products and accessories to look your best when experiencing the side effects of treatment with hair loss at no cost. Hand-made hats and heart shaped pillows are donated from community organizations and ladies groups. We accept gently used wigs and mastectomy products, clean them and offer them to ladies who otherwise don't have access. Cancer Resource Center Memorial Hospital has developed a program to help cancer patients and their families cope, offering them the latest information about cancer care. Whether you have just been diagnosed or have a family member with cancer, the oncology professionals at the Cancer Resource Center can answer your questions or help you understand your options regardless of where you go for treatment. You can learn about nutrition during treatment, financial resources, screening opportunities, the most current clinical trials, and support groups and seminars offered to patients, family, and friends. The Cancer Resource Center also offers professionally led support groups, and We Care Week-end, a family retreat for cancer survivors. None of the services are billed to the patient and few qualify for insurance reimbursement. In FY 2018 the cost of this program was $1.1million. Donations for Cancer Resource Center have help offset these costs. In FY 10, a complimentary weekly program for recently diagnosed cancer patients began. Living Well with Cancer is an introduction and tour of support and treatment services available to MHCS patients. Logistics, such as parking, appropriate entrance for services, food service, and location of the chapel and out patient pharmacy are addressed. Each participant determines their stress level and then meets a social worker to discuss stress. They also meet oncology nutritionists, nurse educators and the oncology chaplain. Patients participate in a stress management exercise, and are encouraged by long term MHCS auxiliary volunteers, who are cancer survivors. We Care Weekend, an annual retreat for recently diagnosed patients and families, is promoted and a save the date card is given to the patients. Patients and their support partners learn how Memorial's Cancer Institute offers complimentary, holistic health services to Live Well with Cancer. Indigent Care for Cancer Patients The Foundation secured funds from an anonymous donor to assist patients overcome barriers to receiving recommended cancer care including assistance with transportation, housing and utility expenses, funding of screenings and diagnostic testing for patient unable to pay. The first indigent grant was received in 2015 for $15,000. After the anonymous donor was comfortable that their donation would be used to assist the indigent, they have provided additional funding of $115,000. This funding has assisted with the many patient needs with a few being detailed below. Nutrition formula for a Head & Neck cancer patient with a feeding tube, electric bills, rent assistance, transportation, and lymphedema sleeves for a breast cancer patient. A mother who drives a large van 140 miles round trip to receive radiation therapy, requiring $50.00 worth of gas every two days. She is on TennCare and home schools six of her eight children. One of the Cancer Services Clinical Social Workers requested gas cards to assist the family. A total of $650.00 worth of gas cards were provided throughout this patient's radiation treatments. A gentleman needed oral surgery for extractions in order to receive chemotherapy. He was employed as a dishwasher, and did not have dental insurance. CHI Memorial staff coordinated the care for an oral surgeon to perform the dental extraction with a large discount and a local facility to provide dentures at a reduced price with the balance of these expenses being covered through the grant. This fund has assisted many cancer patients to Live Well with Cancer, reducing the financial burden of a cancer diagnosis. Capital Projects Funding The Foundation master facility plan capital campaign raised $15 million to fund master facility plan projects. These projects would have not been possible at the same level they have been designed without the additional funding from the Foundation. The Buz Standefer Lung Center, Davenport Infusion Center, Guerry Heart and Vascular Center, Cardiac Rehab Facility and a new Chapel all were made possible with generous community support. Contributions Memorial Health Care System Foundation helps support all the programs highlighted above from donations they receive. Memorial Hospital is more able to fund research and education, capital expansion, new equipment and renovation, indigent care, and operating cost for programs that would otherwise not be possible based on the support it receives from the Foundation. The value of this community support is returned to the community through lower costs in patient care programs and community services described throughout this document. |
