| CORE FORM, PART III, STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | Background ========== Since 1882, Jersey City Medical Center ("JCMC") has provided Hudson County advanced state-of-the-art medical treatment across a broad spectrum of different disciplines. Located on a 15-acre campus it includes both the Wilzig Hospital and the Provident Bank Ambulatory Center. The medical center serves as a regional teaching hospital and provides renowned care for cardiac patients, women and infants, and those in needed of emergency services. JCMC is located in Jersey City, Hudson County, the fastest growing county in the state with a 9% growth rate between 2010 and 2018 (Census Bureau estimates). It is the fourth most populous county, and is geographically the smallest and most densely populated county in the state and the sixth most densely populated county in the United States with 13,731.4 residents per square mile of total area in 2010, and 14,973.9 per square mile in 2017. JCMC is a regional referral teaching hospital recognized by the IRS as an internal revenue code section 501 (c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Pursuant to its charitable purposes, JCMC provides medically necessary healthcare services to all individuals in a non-discriminatory manner regardless of race, ethnicity, color, creed, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, or ability to pay. Moreover, JCMC operates consistently with the following criteria outlined in revenue ruling 69-545. 1. JCMC provides medically necessary healthcare services to all individuals regardless of ability to pay, including charity care, self-pay, Medicare, and Medicaid patients; 2. JCMC operates an active emergency room department that is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year on the hospital campus and a satellite campus in Bayonne; 3. JCMC maintains an open medical staff with privileges available to all qualified physicians; 4. Control of JCMC rests with its Board of Trustees and the Board of Trustees of RWJ Barnabas Health, Inc. Both boards are comprised of independent civic leaders and other prominent members of the community; and 5. Surplus funds are used to improve the quality of patients care, expand and renovate facilities and advance medical care, programs and activities. The operations of JCMC, as shown through the factors outlined above and other information contained herein, clearly demonstrate that the hospital provides substantial community benefit and that the use and control of JCMC is for the benefit of the public and that no part of the income or net earnings of the organization inures to the benefit of any private interest being served other than incidentally. JCMC's sole corporate member is RWJ Barnabas Health, Inc. ("RWJ BHthe "System"). RWJ BH is also the tax-exempt New Jersey non-profit parent corporation of RWJBARNABAS HEALTH ("RWJBH"); AN integrated healthcare delivery system. The sole member of each entity is either RWJ BH or another RWJBH affiliate controlled or owned by RWJ BH. JCMC, like its corporate parent, is a not-for-profit organization. RWJBH is a tax-exempt integrated healthcare delivery system consisting of a group of affiliated healthcare organizations. RWJBH was formed with the merger of Barnabas Health Inc. ("BH"), the parent of the Barnabas Health System ("Barnabas Health"), and Robert Wood Johnson Health Care Corporation ("RWJHCC"), the parent of the former Robert Wood Johnson Health System ("RWJHS"). The definitive agreement signed on July 14, 2015, outlined the combination of these two leading health systems and created the largest and most comprehensive healthcare delivery system in the state of New Jersey and one of the largest in the nation RWJBH. The transaction (hereinafter referred to as the "merger") successfully completed federal and state review in March 2016, and the transaction closed operationally on April 1, 2016. The background of BH includes its formation in June 1996 when six New Jersey hospitals and their affiliates joined Saint Barnabas Medical Center and Union Hospital (), which had affiliated in 1993. The six hospitals included: Community Medical Center, Inc. and Kimball Medical Center, Inc., which had affiliated in 1993 to form the Community/Kimball Health Care System; Newark Beth Israel Medical Center, Inc. and Irvington General Hospital, Inc. ("Irvington"), affiliates of each other since 1991; Monmouth Medical Center, Inc.; and Wayne General Hospital Corp. ("Wayne"). In January 1997, West Hudson Hospital Association, Inc. ("West Hudson") joined Barnabas Health, followed by Clara Maass Medical Center in December 1997. Barnabas Health subsequently divested Wayne, closed West Hudson, Irvington, and Union and consolidated their operations into other system facilities. Most recently, Jersey City Medical Center joined Barnabas Health in 2014. The background of RWJHCC includes its formation in 1984 to promote, support and further the charitable purposes of the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital and other affiliated and related non-profit health care organizations. RWJHS then expanded to include Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital at Hamilton, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Rahway, Childrens Specialized Hospital, Somerset Medical Center, and other healthcare related ventures. RWJBH is the largest multi-hospital system in New Jersey and continues to provide substantial community benefit as was previously provided by its formative health systems, BH and RWJHCC. RWJBH entities provide medically necessary healthcare services to all individuals regardless of ability to pay. Moreover, RWJBH entities provide healthcare services to patients who meet certain criteria defined by the New Jersey department of health without charge or at amounts less than established rates. RWJBH maintains records to identify and monitor the amount of charity care it provides. These records include the amount of charges foregone for services and supplies furnished under its charity care policy. RWJBH is New Jerseys second largest private employer with approximately 32,000 employees, nearly 7,300 individual physicians on the combined medical staffs (of which, in excess of 1,600 are employed), and over 1,000 residents and interns. RWJBH routinely captures national awards for outstanding quality and safety. The new combined system has annual operating revenues in excess of $5 billion and treats over three million patients each year with nearly 198,000 inpatient admissions, over two million outpatient visits (including over 742,000 emergency department visits) and nearly 24,000 newborn and neonatal admissions. RWJBHs composition includes 11 acute care hospitals, three acute care childrens hospitals, a leading pediatric rehabilitation hospital, a freestanding acute behavioral health center, ambulatory care centers, geriatric centers, the states largest behavioral health network, ambulatory surgery centers, comprehensive home care and hospice programs, fitness and wellness centers, retail pharmacy services, medical groups, diagnostic imaging centers and two accountable care organizations. RWJBH created with a strong foundation of shared cultures and core values provides opportunity to improve the health and promote wellness of communities throughout New Jersey. The systems geographic coverage spans the greater Hudson, Essex, Union, Middlesex, Mercer, Somerset, Monmouth and Ocean counties and encompasses the center of the state serving in excess of five million residents. Through sharing of resources, best practices, as well as economies gained through consolidation of support services, the combination of Barnabas Health and RWJHS promotes the highest quality healthcare delivery and greater levels of efficiency. In 2018, RWJBH announced with Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, the official launch of their public-private partnership to jointly operate a world-class academic health system dedicated to life-changing research, clinical training of tomorrows workforce, and high-quality healthcare for all. This planned collaboration represents a significant step forward to improve access to care and reduce the health disparities that impact our state. The parties have a shared belief that while both organizations are strong leaders in our respective fields, together they are better poised to transform healthcare in New Jersey and drive innovations that will improve outcomes across the country. The new collaboration also will align education, research, and clinical activities, including those at the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey and Rutgers University behavioral health care. By working together, these two higher education and health care industry leaders will enhance research, medical and health professional education, improve access to care, and reduce health disparities in New Jersey. |

Community Partnerships ====================== In 2014, JCMC joined with the Boys and Girls Club of Hudson County, in welcoming the first class of 125 freshmen to the new Great Futures High School for the Health Sciences; Jersey City's first academic institution dedicated exclusively to the health sciences. The school, which is a collaborative effort between the Boys and Girls Club of Hudson County and the Jersey City Medical Center, is a state-designated charter school providing students a foundation for post-secondary education or workforce readiness in certified health-related professions. Students will learn through integrated projects, case studies and online learning. Graduating students will be certified as emergency medical technicians or patient care technicians, and also encouraged to attend college in a health-related field. The idea for a health-oriented charter high school began to take shape about five years ago when the Boys and Girls Club of Hudson County formed an alliance with JCMC that allowed students to do internships with the hospital's staff. Those short-term educational opportunities have now been expanded into the Great Futures' curriculum. In each of the coming four years, the school will add a new class. Additional Community Building Activities undertaken by JCMC improve the medical and socioeconomic well-being of the communities in our care. 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. JCMC 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. We also provide to schools, senior centers and other community organizations programs about safety and trauma prevention including proper use of car seats, bicycle safety, and fall prevention for seniors. The hospital holds an annual community meeting as required by the NJ Department of Health, where the community can ask questions and give comments to the hospital leadership and board of trustees. JCMC offered community support/mentoring programs that touched 600 persons. The hospital also provided meeting space and contributed resources to support local not-for-profits and governmental programs and initiatives.
