Specifically, the Articles of Incorporation of Norton Healthcare, Inc. provide that the organization will support (in addition to Norton Hospitals, Inc.) the operations and activities of other affiliated publicly supported organizations that are operated to promote the general health of the community in conjunction with Norton Hospitals. |
| Schedule A, Part IV, Section C, Line 1 Majority director detail | As a supporting organization, Norton Healthcare, Inc. is supervised or controlled in connection with the supported organizations, and therefore, is designated as a Type II supporting organization.

This common control allows Norton Healthcare, Inc. and its four supported organizations to function collectively as a health system, with Norton Healthcare, Inc. providing management and administrative support to the supported organizations. The fact that the core leadership team of each of the supported organizations is also the core leadership team of Norton Healthcare, Inc. assures that Norton Healthcare, Inc. is responsive to the needs and demands of the supported organizations and that Norton Healthcare, Inc. constitutes an integral part of and maintains a significant involvement in the operations of the supported organizations. |

| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a Program Service Accomplishment | (Continued from Part III) In 2019, NHC, through its affiliate, Community Medical Associates, Inc., had approximately 2.3 million patient encounters. NHC's hospitals, diagnostic centers and Norton Cancer Institute (NCI) served 76,825 inpatients, 596,249 outpatients, and 261,206 emergency room visits. In addition NHC hospitals' operating rooms cared for 21,224 inpatient surgical patients and 37,219 outpatient surgical patients. Additionally, 7,912 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 2019, under its charity care program, NHC provided free care to 10,522 patients, at a cost of $14.6 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, 14,820 patients were provided care at discounted rates. Other contributions to the community were the unpaid cost of Medicaid services of $66.0 million and educational support of $54.7 million primarily to the University of Louisville's School of Medicine. Also community health improvement services totaled $10.2 million, and contributions to community groups were $1.7 million. As Norton Healthcare representatives, our employees donated 54,079 hours of community service, a benefit valued at more than $1 million. In addition, many employees self-reported personal volunteer activities. Norton Healthcare provides programmatic support to the University of Louisville School of Medicine through funding and facilities. During the 2019 calendar year, 178 residents completed clinical rotations in 41 specialties at Norton Healthcare facilities. Residency programs are part of the $54.7 million in educational support and clinical funding provided to the school. Contributions to the community * Norton Healthcare employees and physicians gave nearly $976,073 to the 2019-2020 Combined Giving Campaign to help support community organizations that also are committed to improving the health and well-being of community residents. Supported organizations include WHAS Crusade for Children, Metro United Way, Fund for the Arts, and our own Norton Children's Hospital Foundation and Norton Healthcare Foundation. * More than 125 Norton Healthcare employees "raised the roof" on a Habitat for Humanity house on Broadleaf Drive in Louisville, Kentucky. This is the 12th Habitat home Norton Healthcare employees have built. * In 2019, more than 3,000 Norton Healthcare employees donated time and funds to plan, purchase and deliver gifts, food and clothing for the Caring Tree program. The program assisted 498 employees and their 1,138 children/dependents by providing for their families at Christmas. * More than 44,000 pounds of usable surplus medical supplies valued at more than $717,000 and over $93,000 in equipment were donated for use locally and around the world. Community Education and Workforce Development As one of Kentucky's largest health care systems, Norton Healthcare has established a culture of continual, lifelong learning. Opportunities are available through our Human Resource's Workforce Development team and our Learning and Development Department. Workforce Development encourages continuing education, improves job performance and provides financial assistance for designated educational programs related to the business operations of the organization. Norton Healthcare encourages and supports the career goals of employees and their dependents by providing financial assistance and scholarships as well as other advancement opportunities. Established in the early 2000s, Workforce Development has assisted more than 6,000 students (69% front-line workers) with tuition assistance. In 2019, Workforce Development financially supported 679 students with nearly $5.2 million in educational assistance programs. * Workforce Development's career coaching has served over 1,400 students. Each program participant worked directly with a certified career management coach. Coaches offer 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 nonemployees, provides educational funding to students interested in pursuing designated health care careers. It is an affiliation between Norton Healthcare and over 100 colleges and universities nationally. Since 2014, this program has had 992 graduates continue their careers with Norton Healthcare. * In 2018, Norton Healthcare was one of the founding partners in Jefferson County Public Schools' Academies of Louisville, a strategic pipeline development program in conjunction with the public school system. Jefferson County Public Schools created an academy model in which students have the opportunity to select career-focused education and earn industry-recognized credentials while in high school. Norton Healthcare transformed its summer program and previous high school scholarship offerings into a comprehensive, three-tiered apprentice program for students on the health care academy track. Beginning in a student's junior year, health care academy students explore career pathways in one of four key areas: Patient Care, Medical Office, Allied Health and Pharmacy Technician. Norton Healthcare primarily focused on Patient Care and Medical Office in 2019. Each phase offers a rigorous curriculum, business acumen and professional development, as well as hands-on learning opportunities in the students' chosen career fields. To date, Norton Healthcare has transitioned more than 52 students into staff positions with our organization after completion of the program, and offers tuition assistance for these new employees to continue their academic and career pursuits while working in the field of their choice. * In 2019, Norton Healthcare announced a strategic partnership program with UPS. Norton Healthcare-UPS Health Care Career Tracks provides a 2+2 method, splitting a four years bachelor's degree into two parts. Typically, the first two years are spent working with UPS in a general or pre-clinical designation and the last two years is when the student begins their clinical program and becomes a Norton Scholar. This program helps to support career readiness in a health care-related field. The combined tuition assistance offers students a debt-free way to get a college education while working with two of the leading companies in the region. * The Student Nurse Apprenticeship Program is a 12 to 18-month apprenticeship in which nursing students work and engage in hands-on learning with an experienced mentor while becoming integrated with Norton Healthcare. 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. Leadership for this program is through Norton Healthcare Institute for Nursing. * In 2019, Norton Healthcare launched new apprenticeship programs. The Surgical Tech Apprentice Program and the Respiratory Therapy Apprenticeship Program allow students to work and learn with tuition assistance as they grow their careers with Norton Healthcare. Development of the Medical Assistant Program also occurred in 2019, and this program launched in spring 2020. Learning and Development consists of continuing education, continuing medical education, E-Learning, EPIC, Institute for Nursing, media services, and Norton University, which 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 2019, Norton University held 295,578 learning events, an average of 18 trainings per employee. In 2019, 46,227 attendees completed instructor-led courses and 175, 441 web-based training courses were completed. * Programs such as Elevating First-Line Employees, School at Work, College at Work and career coaching expose entry-level staff to health care careers and help them obtain a higher-level position, GED or college degree. * Leadership development programs support the development of leaders across the continuum (physicians, nurses, physician practice staff and system staff). * Organizational development activities assist in creating a more effective and efficient workplace with highly engaged employees. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a Program Service Accomplishment | Norton Faith & Health Ministries Norton Faith & Health Ministries works with faith communities to weave health and faith together, promoting the intentional integration of faith, healing and wellness through the development of health ministries. Norton Faith & Health Ministries provides mentoring, educational resources and networking opportunities to assist health ministry coordinators and faith community nurses in ministering to their churches. In 2019, the department mentored and served nearly 200 multidenominational faith communities with active health ministry programs, and assisted others with health and wellness efforts. * Norton Faith & Health Ministries nurtured relationships with faith communities through participation in events held by the Episcopal Diocese of Kentucky, Kentucky Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church, Central District Baptist Association, Kentucky Tri-Presbytery Meeting and others. * In order to advance congregational health ministries, faith community nursing and other health-related programs, Norton Faith & Health Ministries made 33,000 contacts by distributing 21 electronic newsletters. At 63 regional faith community events, people were provided health literacy education using educational tools loaned from Norton Faith & Health Ministries. At 108 events, 1,500 people were screened for blood pressure, blood glucose, body mass index and/or cholesterol, and often received counseling and referrals by faith community nurses. Six formal educational and networking events were held, reaching 315 individuals. Pastoral Care Department Norton Healthcare's Pastoral Care Department provides spiritual, religious and emotional care and support for patients, families and staff throughout the system, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In 2019, chaplains made more than 35,000 patient contacts, plus additional contacts with their families. The assistance included, but was not limited to grief support and facilitation of decision-making at death; end-of-life and goals-of-care conversations; education about and enacting advance directives; offering religious rituals and literature; discussing ethical dilemmas; and providing comfort and conversation with patients who are lonely, afraid, conflicted or struggling. Chaplains care for people, regardless of their religious or spiritual backgrounds and beliefs, to help them use and strengthen their spiritual, emotional and relational resources to better cope and to thrive. A unique aspect of care provided by the Pastoral Care Department is the Bereavement Intervention Program. Through this program, the bereavement chaplain connects with all of the more than 100 families whose children died at Norton Children's Hospital. That contact often begins at the time of death, and can include a funeral home visit, visit in the home, phone calls, letters, and a dinner and grief educational program that helps families and friends learn how to better care for the grieving parents. In addition to the visits caring for patient and families, the chaplains provide care every day to the staff of the system through individual counseling, sharing prayers and other rituals, debriefing stressful events on units, comforting department staff when a co-worker dies, and blessing newly renovated units. Through teaching, committee involvement, ethics consultations and many other ways, chaplains are fully integrated into the life of the Norton Healthcare system. Norton Heart & Vascular Institute Norton Heart & Vascular Institute provides care to more than 250,000 unique patients a year, including completing more than 11,500 surgical procedures and 18,850 noninvasive cardiovascular diagnostic tests each year. As the area's leading provider of cardiovascular care, the institute is committed to meeting the needs of the community, including providing education and support to reduce cardiovascular lifestyle risk factors that can improve the heart health of those we serve. * In 2019, Norton Heart & Vascular Institute offered the area's most comprehensive education and prevention program including the following activities at no cost to participants or the community: - In the Kitchen With Norton Healthcare is a series of heart-healthy cooking classes, including demonstrations and instruction that help attendees learn to prepare heart-healthy meals.

Classes focus on various topics, including prevention, heart health education and other wellness issues. Total attendees for the 2019 class series was 31. * Norton Heart & Vascular Institute offers a one-of-a-kind patient support program through Advocates for Healthy Hearts. This unique group of eight advocates gives men and women a chance to connect with others who are heart disease survivors themselves to provide individual support and resources for recovery. Advocates visit those preparing to undergo cardiac surgeries or other procedures, and those who are in the recovery phase of their cardiac event. Patient visits are completed at Norton Healthcare's three centers for cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation patients. The program provided support to 64 heart patients in 2019. * Connecting Hearts for Support, the only group of its kind in Kentucky, provides a monthly opportunity for men and women living with a heart condition to connect for support and education. The monthly group is offered at Marshall Women's Health & Education Center on the Norton Healthcare - St. Matthews campus. It is led by the eight trained Advocates for Healthy Hearts and a designated cardiovascular nurse navigator from the Norton Heart & Vascular Institute Resource Center. The group provides emotional support as well as education on healthy nutrition, exercise and stress management. In 2019, 10 support group classes were offered and 187 heart patients attended. * Norton Heart & Vascular Institute is an 11-year active supporter of the American Heart Association's Go Red For Women movement. In 2019, a free breakout session called "Heart Healthy Cooking" was offered prior to the annual Go Red For Women luncheon to more than 45 attendees. * In 2019, Norton Heart & Vascular Institute Resource Center cardiovascular nurse navigators attended 11 heart health community events, including health fairs, presentations and speaking engagements representing businesses, churches, women's groups and health care professionals. More than 1,290 participants attended the events. * Heart-healthy lifestyle consultations are offered to the community for one-on-one instruction with the Norton Heart & Vascular Institute Resource Center cardiovascular nurse navigator.

Much of the focus is on working together for the patient, providing multidisciplinary programs for brain tumors, ALS, movement disorders, epilepsy, trigeminal neuralgia (face pain) and stroke. * Norton Leatherman Spine offers advanced treatment options for spine conditions such as Chiari malformation, degenerative disc diseases, scoliosis and spinal stenosis, as well as tumors and infections of the spine. * Norton Leatherman Spine brings leading spine specialists together for a comprehensive approach to treating all spine issues. Through a multidisciplinary team approach, neurosurgeons, orthopedic spine surgeons, general surgeons, pain management specialists, neurologists, physical therapists, neuroradiologists and nurses work together to create a plan that meets the specific needs of each patient, leading to better patient outcomes. 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. * In 2019, Norton Neuroscience Institute pediatric neurosurgeons came together with the University of Louisville School of Medicine's child neurology team to create Norton Children's Neuroscience Institute. While both groups having been working together for decades, the creation of Norton Children's Neuroscience Institute, allows for leading experts to work together to treat the full spectrum of pediatric spine and brain conditions. Norton Community Medical Associates * Physicians and a chaplain make house calls for elderly patients who have difficulty leaving home for medical care. * Physicians are involved in medical screening, community outreach and community education activities to promote wellness and early interventions. Norton Healthcare Prevention & Wellness * In 2019, Norton Healthcare Prevention & Wellness staff provided preventive screenings aboard the Norton Healthcare Mobile Prevention Center in collaboration with various community partners. Due to a major retrofit of the mobile unit, no screenings were available until April 15. Almost 1,800 women received mammograms and/or wellness exams, including cervical cancer screenings, aboard the mobile unit. Of those, approximately 9% had not been screened in the past five years and 1% had never had a mammogram. Fourteen individuals were diagnosed and treated for preinvasive and invasive breast cancer. Of the almost 150 Norton Healthcare Mobile Prevention Center events, over half took place in underserved communities and over 60% of patients came from medically underserved areas. * Education on cardiovascular health, effects of smoking, prostate health, breast and women's health, colon health, and more was given to 4,471 community members at various events such as health fairs and presentations. If eligible and interested, participants were offered referrals for colonoscopy or given an at-home testing kit that they could mail to the lab and later receive their results. Colonoscopy referrals were made for 34 people, and 35 people received at-home testing kits. To help eliminate barriers to care, Prevention & Wellness implemented (502) 446-WELL, a number that links eligible patients to colonoscopy or in-home tests. * In collaboration with many community partners, staff provided over 9,600 cardiovascular screenings (blood pressure, BMI, glucose and cholesterol) for approximately 4,100 participants in multiple locations throughout Jefferson and surrounding counties, including Southern Indiana. Each participant received education on healthy lifestyle choices such as diet and exercise. Group education on various health and wellness information was provided throughout the year. * Prevention & Wellness conducted 19 Freedom From Smoking classes in 2019. One class was taught in Spanish. Research * Norton Healthcare guides one of the largest portfolios of clinical research of any community health care system in the United States. At any given time, more than 750 clinical studies are active or pending at Norton Healthcare. These studies engage more than 300 Norton Healthcare staff and significantly impact our patients and their families. * Focus areas for clinical research include pediatrics, oncology, cardiology, orthopedics and spine, neurology, neurosurgery, maternal-fetal medicine and pulmonology. |

This 300-bed hospital is the only full-service, free-standing pediatric hospital in Kentucky, Louisville's only Level I Pediatric Trauma Center and the primary teaching facility for University of Louisville School of Medicine's Department of Pediatrics. To continue to address the community's need for specialized pediatric care and meet the ever-growing needs served by Norton Children's Hospital, 2019 brought several specific fundraising initiatives forward to donors and the community at large. These efforts focused on raising funds for pediatric heart care, neonatal care, intensive care, our transport team, prevention and wellness team and more. 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 (such as child life, expressive and music therapies), continue to be areas of funding and priority for Norton Children's Hospital Foundation to ensure a truly "Just for Kids" experience for patients and families. The Children's Hospital Foundation 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 foundation awarded $9.9 million in grants for capital, programs and patient financial assistance to the hospitals in 2019, including: * Construction of the Jennifer Lawrence Cardiac Intensive Care Unit at Norton Children's Hospital. * Renovation and upgrades of the neonatal intensive care unit and "Just for Kids" Critical Care Center (pediatric intensive care unit). * Creation of a new healing garden at Norton Children's Hospital. * Continued funding for a new surgical theater virtual reality technology for pediatric neurosurgery. * Purchase of a new "Just for Kids" Transport Team ambulance. * Continued funding of Norton Children's Prevention & Wellness, which helps provide safety and outreach information in support of the hospital's health and wellness prevention initiatives. * Establishment of the Ulmer Family Wellness Program at Norton Children's Medical Associates - Broadway, providing expanded programming to assist families, including a full-time social worker. * Funding the addition of a child life specialist/facility dog handler to our Heel, Dog, Heal facility dog program. * Funding for staff educational opportunities and advanced certifications.

The Norton Healthcare Foundation raises funds each year to improve programs, equipment and facilities, and research and education, enabling the hospitals to stay up to date with medical advances and technology, and maintaining the community's access to health care. Community support through the Norton Healthcare Foundation allows caregivers to continue making a difference for patients served by Norton Healthcare. The foundation awarded $4.6 million in grants for capital, programs and patient financial assistance to the hospitals in 2019, including: * The purchase of a new Norton Healthcare Mobile Prevention Center to provide screening mammograms and wellness exams to women ages 40 and over in underserved areas of our community. * Establishment of a genomics platform and precision medicine clinic to better tailor cancer treatments to individuals. * Renovation of the diagnostic Breast Center in Norton Healthcare Pavilion. * Renovation of the Wade Mountz Auditorium in Norton Hospital. * Funding participation in the HepConnect program to address the increase in hepatitis C infections. * Creating a family comfort garden on the third floor of Norton Hospital. * Refurbishment of an ambulance for the Norton Healthcare Adult Transport Team. * Purchase of equipment for the Norton Neuroscience Institute Telestroke System. * Purchase of natural labor equipment and supplies such as disposable birthing pools. * Support for nurses to obtain oncology-certified nurse designation, enabling them to provide the most advanced and comprehensive care to cancer patients. * Continued funding of the adult facility dog program.

| 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, 2019. The other components of net periodic pension cost was $10.1 million for year ended December 31, 2019. |
