Explanation

SCHEDULE D, PAGE 3, PART X

THE MEDICAL CENTER IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT CORPORATION THAT HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED AS TAX-EXEMPT PURSUANT TO SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. THE MEDICAL CENTER APPLIES ACCOUNTING POLICIES THAT PRESCRIBE WHEN TO RECOGNIZE AND HOW TO MEASURE THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT EFFECTS OF INCOME TAX POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN ON ITS INCOME TAX RETURNS. THESE RULES REQUIRE MANAGEMENT TO EVALUATE THE LIKELIHOOD THAT, UPON EXAMINATION BY THE RELEVANT TAXING JURISDICTIONS, THOSE INCOME TAX POSITIONS WOULD BE SUSTAINED. BASED ON THAT EVALUATION, THE MEDICAL CENTER ONLY RECOGNIZES THE MAXIMUM BENEFIT OF EACH INCOME TAX POSITION THAT IS MORE THAN 50% LIKELY OF BEING SUSTAINED. TO THE EXTENT THAT ALL OR A PORTION OF THE BENEFITS OF AN INCOME TAX POSITION ARE NOT RECOGNIZED, A LIABILITY WOULD BE RECOGNIZED FOR THE UNRECOGNIZED BENEFITS, ALONG WITH ANY INTEREST AND PENALTIES THAT WOULD RESULT FROM DISALLOWANCE OF THE POSITION. SHOULD ANY SUCH PENALTIES AND INTEREST BE INCURRED, THEY WOULD BE RECOGNIZED AS OPERATING EXPENSES. BASED ON THE RESULTS OF MANAGEMENTS EVALUATION, NO LIABILITY IS RECOGNIZED IN THE ACCOMPANYING BALANCE SHEET FOR UNRECOGNIZED INCOME TAX POSITIONS. FURTHER, NO INTEREST OR PENALTIES HAVE BEEN ACCRUED OR CHARGED TO EXPENSE AS OF JUNE 30, 2018 AND 2017 OR FOR THE YEARS THEN ENDED. THE MEDICAL CENTERS TAX RETURNS ARE SUBJECT TO POSSIBLE EXAMINATION BY THE TAXING AUTHORITIES. FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES, THE TAX RETURNS ESSENTIALLY REMAIN OPEN FOR POSSIBLE EXAMINATION FOR A PERIOD OF THREE YEARS AFTER THE RESPECTIVE FILING DEADLINES OF THOSE RETURNS. TANNER MEDICAL GROUP IS PART OF A TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. THE AFFILIATED BUSINESS SERVICES PROVIDED ARE, HOWEVER, SUBJECT TO UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME TAXES AND A FORM 990-T, EXEMPT ORGANIZATION BUSINESS INCOME TAX RETURN IS FILED FOR THESE SERVICES.

WITH THIS INFORMATION, AN ACTION PLAN WAS DEVELOPED TO HELP IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF LOCAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS. A KEY PIECE OF THE THREE YEAR CHNA CYCLE IS REVISITING THE PROGRESS MADE ON PRIORITY HEALTH TOPICS SET FORTH IN THE PRECEDING CHNA. BY REVIEWING ACTIONS TAKEN TO ADDRESS A PRIORITY HEALTH ISSUE AND EVALUATING THE IMPACT THOSE ACTIONS HAVE MADE IN THE COMMUNITY, IT IS POSSIBLE TO BETTER TARGET RESOURCES AND EFFORTS DURING THE NEXT ROUND OF THE CHNA CYCLE. TANNER'S PRIORITY TOPICS FOR FY 2014 - 2016 WERE: (1) ACCESS TO CARE; (2) CHRONIC DISEASE EDUCATION, PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT; (3) MENTAL HEALTH. EACH OF THESE HEALTH TOPICS CORRELATES WELL TO THE PRIORITY HEALTH TOPICS SELECTED FOR THE CURRENT CHNA (FY 2016), THUS TANNER WILL BE BUILDING UPON EFFORTS OF PREVIOUS YEARS. TANNER'S LONG STANDING COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY IS DEEPLY ROOTED IN ITS MISSION. THE ORGANIZATION REMAINS COMMITTED TO IMPROVING THE COMMUNITY'S HEALTH, NOT ONLY THROUGH DAILY PATIENT CARE ACTIVITIES BUT ALSO OUTREACH, PREVENTION, EDUCATION AND WELLNESS OPPORTUNITIES. TANNER IS DEDICATED TO MAKING WEST GEORGIA A HEALTHIER PLACE TO LIVE, LEARN, WORK, PLAY AND GROW. WITH THE HELP OF COMMUNITY PARTNERS, TANNER HAS SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENTED PROGRAMS THAT HELP WEST GEORGIA RESIDENTS WITH THE HEALTHCARE AND PREVENTIVE SERVICES THEY NEED.

CONCERNS WERE IDENTIFIED IN THE CHNA REGARDING LACK OF DENTAL SERVICES IN THE WEST GEORGIA REGION. WHILE NOT DIRECTLY ADDRESSED IN TANNER'S IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY, TANNER WILL CONTINUE TO PARTNER WITH LOCAL DENTISTS AND ORAL SURGEONS TO PROVIDE URGENT DENTAL CARE IN THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS AND CLINICS, ALONG WITH WORKING COLLABORATIVELY WITH PROVIDERS, SOCIAL SERVICE AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO PROMOTE ROUTINE DENTAL CARE. TANNER ALSO PROVIDES FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO A LOCAL INDIGENT CLINIC, THE RAPHA CLINIC, WHICH PROVIDES DENTAL CARE TO THOSE WITHOUT INSURANCE OR THE MEANS TO AFFORD SUCH CARE. LACK OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION WAS IDENTIFIED AS A FACTOR IMPACTING COMMUNITY HEALTH. WHILE TANNER IS COMMITTED TO FINDING SOLUTIONS TO LIMITED TRANSPORTATION NEEDS IN THE REGION, PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IS OUT OF THE SCOPE OF THE ORGANIZATION'S RESOURCES AND WILL NOT BE ADDRESSED AS A PRIMARY NEED IN THE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY, BUT WILL BE IMPACTED THROUGH THE ACCESS TO CARE PRIORITY. TANNER WILL CONTINUE TO WORK COLLABORATIVELY WITH COUNTY AND CITY GOVERNMENTS, SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES AND MORE TO EVALUATE AND IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES TO INCREASE ACCESS TO TRANSPORTATION SERVICES IN THE REGION.

PART VI, LINE 4 - COMMUNITY INFORMATION	TANNER MEDICAL CENTER, INC. DELIVERS CARE TO DIVERSE COMMUNITIES ACROSS WEST GEORGIA. FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY AND DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY TANNER. TANNER HOSPITALS DEFINE THE COMMUNITY AS THE GEOGRAPHIC AREA SERVED BY THE HOSPITAL, CONSIDERING ITS PRIMARY SERVICE AREA. THE PRIMARY SERVICE AREA FOR ALL THREE OF TANNER'S HOSPITALS - TANNER MEDICAL CENTER/CARROLLTON, TANNER MEDICAL CENTER/VILLA RICA AND HIGGINS GENERAL HOSPITAL IN BREMEN - INCLUDES THE GEOGRAPHIC AREAS OF CARROLL, HARALSON AND HEARD COUNTIES, COVERING 1,077 SQUARE MILES OF PREDOMINANTLY RURAL AREA (53 PERCENT RURAL) WITH A TOTAL POPULATION OF 151,141 (U.S. CENSUS BUREAU, 2010). CARROLL, HARALSON AND HEARD COUNTIES CONSIST OF A MIXTURE OF RURAL AND SUBURBAN COMMUNITIES WHOSE HEALTH NEEDS ARE MET BY A MIXTURE OF HOSPITAL SYSTEMS, PRIVATE PRACTICES, RURAL HEALTH CLINICS, INDIGENT CLINICS AND OTHER SOCIAL SERVICES. THE CLOSE PROXIMITY OF TANNER'S ACUTE CARE HOSPITALS (WITHIN A 12 - 20 MILE RADIUS OF EACH OTHER) - TANNER MEDICAL CENTER/CARROLLTON AND TANNER MEDICAL CENTER/VILLA RICA - AND THE CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITAL, HIGGINS GENERAL HOSPITAL, PROVIDE WEST GEORGIA RESIDENTS MULTIPLE ACCESS POINTS FOR A VARIETY OF HEALTHCARE RELATED SERVICES.

PART VI, LINE 5 - PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH	AS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION, THE ORGANIZATION IS DEDICATED TO IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. THE ORGANIZATION REINVESTS ALL OF ITS SURPLUS FUNDS FROM ITS OPERATING AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO CARE, EXPAND AND REPLACE EXISTING FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT, INVEST IN TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS, SUPPORT COMMUNITY HEALTH PROGRAMS AND ADVANCE MEDICAL TRAINING, EDUCATION AND RESEARCH. MEDICAL STAFF PRIVILEGES ARE OPEN TO PHYSICIANS WHOSE EXPERIENCE AND TRAINING ARE VERIFIED THROUGH A CREDENTIALING PROCESS. THE PROCESS GATHERS AND VERIFIES CREDENTIALS, ALLOWS THE MEDICAL STAFF TO EVALUATE APPLICANT'S QUALIFICATIONS, PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE AND COMPETENCE, AND TO ULTIMATELY MAKE A DECISION TO GRANT OR DENY MEDICAL STAFF PRIVILEGES. TO THE BENEFIT OF THE COMMUNITY, THE ORGANIZATION IS GOVERNED BY A BOARD OF DIRECTORS, THE MAJORITY OF WHICH IS COMPRISED OF PERSONS WHO RESIDE THROUGHOUT TANNER'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREA AND WHO ARE NEITHER EMPLOYEES NOR CONTRACTORS OF THE ORGANIZATION (NOR FAMILY MEMBERS THEREOF). THE BOARD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THAT THE HEALTH SYSTEM DEVELOPS PROGRAMS TO ADDRESS THE DISPROPORTIONATE UNMET HEALTH-RELATED NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES, ALONG WITH ENSURING THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT INITIATIVES TO PROMOTE THE BROAD HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY. THE BOARD ALSO ESTABLISHES KEY MEASURES OF SYSTEM-WIDE COMMUNITY BENEFIT PERFORMANCE AND RECEIVES REGULAR REPORTS ON PROGRESS TOWARD ESTABLISHED GOALS. IN FULFILLING THESE RESPONSIBILITIES, IN FISCAL YEAR 2014 THE BOARD DESIGNATED A COMMUNITY BENEFIT COMMITTEE THAT INCLUDES AT LEAST THREE BOARD MEMBERS, WITH A MAJORITY REPRESENTATION FROM A RANGE OF COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS WHO HAVE EXPERTISE IN AREAS SUCH AS THE CHARACTERISTICS AND HISTORY OF LOCAL COMMUNITIES WITH DISPROPORTIONATE UNMET HEALTH-RELATED NEEDS, CLINICAL SERVICE DELIVERY, ANALYSIS OF SERVICE UTILIZATION AND POPULATION HEALTH DATA, PRIMARY PREVENTIVE HEALTH INITIATIVES, SOCIAL SERVICES, YOUTH AND FAMILY SERVICES, FINANCE AND ACCOUNTING.

TANNER ALSO WORKS CLOSELY WITH AND PROVIDES FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO TWO COMMUNITY BASED INDIGENT CLINICS, THE RAPHA CLINIC AND LATINOS UNITED CARROLL COUNTY CLINIC, TO PROVIDE LOW COST AND FREE MEDICAL SERVICES TO AREA RESIDENTS WHO OTHERWISE COULD NOT AFFORD CARE.

TANNER'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREA OF CARROLL, HARALSON AND HEARD COUNTIES ARE ALL DESIGNATED AS MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREAS AND HEALTH PROFESSIONAL SHORTAGE AREAS. TO COMBAT THIS PROBLEM AND IMPROVE ACCESS TO MEDICAL CARE IN THE REGION, TANNER CONTINUED ITS WORK TO RECRUIT MORE PHYSICIANS TO PRACTICE IN THE AREA, ENABLING PATIENTS TO CHOOSE FROM A GREATER NUMBER OF PROVIDERS IN AN EXPANDED FIELD OF SPECIALTIES. DURING FISCAL YEAR 2018, TANNER WELCOMED 12 NEW PHYSICIANS AND 8 ADVANCED PRACTICE PROVIDERS TO ITS MEDICAL STAFF.
