| Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of Interest Policy | c) Board evaluation of non-transactional conflicts - I. The board carefully reviews and scrutinizes 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.). II. In such circumstances, by a majority vote of the disinterested trustees, the board takes whatever action is deemed appropriate with respect to the trustee or corporate officer under the circumstances (including possible disciplinary or corrective action) to best protect the interests of CHI or the CHI entity. The board is encouraged to consult with the general counsel of CHI or his or her designee when considering disciplinary or corrective action. III. The conflicted trustee or corporate officer is not permitted to use his or her personal influence with respect to the conflict 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 relevant. The trustee or corporate officer is excused from the meeting during discussion and vote on the conflict of interest. d) Record of proceedings - with respect to board member and officer conflicts of interest, minutes of the board are expected to reflect the identity of 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. D. Conflicts reporting: All conflicts of interest are reported by CHI as required by law, regulations, and policy. |

| Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy | The organization has a conflicts of interest ("COI") policy (the "policy") in place to maintain the integrity of its activities. Through February 7, 2019, conflicts were administered solely through Catholic Health Initiatives' ("CHI") Governance Policy No. 1 (described below). On February 8, 2019, in connection with the alignment of the Catholic Health Ministries of CHI and Dignity Health, the CommonSpirit Health Board of Stewardship Trustees approved CommonSpirit Health Corporate Responsibility Policy No. G-001, a CommonSpirit Health conflicts of interest policy. This policy stipulates that, at minimum, the pre-closing CHI COI policies and pre-closing Dignity Health COI policies identify the individuals that are covered under the new policy. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, pre-closing CHI COI policies shall continue to apply to the CHI entities and the individuals who were subject to the Pre-Closing CHI COI policies; and the Pre-Closing Dignity Health COI policies shall continue to apply to the Dignity Health entities and the individuals who were subject to the Pre-Closing Dignity Health COI policies. Until CommonSpirit Health adopts a single process for identifying and managing conflicts of interest for all system entities, the following individuals shall be subject to the Pre-Closing CHI COI policies from and after the effective date of Corporate Responsibility Policy No. G-001: 1. Members of the CommonSpirit Health Board of Stewardship Trustees and members of the committees of the Board of Stewardship Trustees; 2. Corporate officers of CommonSpirit Health; 3. Members of the Board of Directors of Dignity Health and members of the committees of the Board of Directors of Dignity Health. CHI Governance Policy No. 1: The policy applies to the following persons: members of the CHI board of stewardship trustees and its committees; members of any CHI direct affiliate or subsidiary (each a CHI entity) board and their committees; employees of CHI entities, and all CHI researchers (as defined in the policy). Disclosure, review and management of perceived, potential or actual conflicts of interest are accomplished through a defined COI disclosure review process. A. Disclosure obligations: 1. Ongoing: Each person is required to 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 in which the person is in doubt it is expected that full disclosure be made to permit an impartial and objective determination as to the existence of a conflict. 2. Periodic written: In addition to the ongoing disclosure obligation, periodic written conflict of interest disclosure forms must be completed as follows: a) Initially: 1) Upon hiring (employees), 2) Appointment (board / committee members), 3) Upon consideration of affiliation with research sponsor (researchers). b) Annually: 1) Board / committee members, 2) Employees at the level vice president or above, 3) Researchers, 4) Supply chain employees at the level of vice president and above and those employees involved in contracting regardless of employment level, 5) Other employees as determined by CommonSpirit Health leadership. 3. Failure to disclose - an individual who fails to disclose a perceived, potential, or actual conflict of interest, or all material facts surrounding an actual or potential conflict or fails to abide by the final decision regarding the conflict may be subject to disciplinary or corrective actions such as termination of employment, removal from a board or committee, loss or restriction of clinical privileges, or restrictions on research activities in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, rules, contracts, and bylaws. B. Conflicts review: 1. No disclosed conflicts: In the absence of perceived, potential or actual conflicts of interest, no follow-up conflicts review is required or performed. 2. Disclosure of perceived, potential or actual conflicts: a) Are initially reviewed by national or regional legal or corporate responsibility team members (depending upon the role of the individual disclosing the actual or potential conflict) to determine whether an actual or potential for a conflict may exist. b) If it is determined that a potential or actual conflict may exist, I. In the case of board or committee members or officers, issues are elevated to the executive committee of the board or board chair. II. In the case of other persons, conflicts issues are elevated to the conflicts of interest review committee ("C-CIRC"). C. Conflicts determination and management: 1. Matters elevated to C-CIRC: a) The C-CIRC determines whether a disclosed or otherwise identified interest is a conflict of interest. If the C-CIRC determines that a COI exists, and adequate controls are not in place to mitigate the conflict, the C-CIRC facilitates development of a COI management plan designed to mitigate the conflict. Designated entity staff are responsible for monitoring the COI management plan and for documenting monitoring activities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at its sole discretion, an 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. b) Appeal - if a person 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 individual may appeal the decision through his or her manager for reconsideration by the C-CIRC, and the C-CIRC will review and issue a final determination based upon any new or additional information presented. 2. Matters elevated to the executive committee or board chair: a) Determination of existence of conflict - the board chair or his or her designee performs any 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 assumes the chair's role outlined in the COI policy. Based on review and evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances, the board chair makes 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, is made. The board chair then makes an appropriate report to the executive committee of the board concerning the COI 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 under the COI policy, the matter is submitted to the board's executive committee, which makes a final determination as to the matter presented. That determination, including relevant facts and circumstances, is reflected in the executive committee minutes and is reported to the board. b) Board evaluation of transactions involving an officer / board member conflict of interest - I. The board carefully scrutinizes 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 a corporate officer either: 1. Has a material financial interest; or 2. Is a trustee or corporate officer of the other party (other than a CHI affiliated organization). II. The board must approve the transaction by a majority of the trustees on the board (not counting any interested trustee). 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 acts no more or less favorably than it would in reviewing transactions with unrelated third parties. The transaction is not approved unless the board determines that the transaction is fair to CHI or the CHI entity. III. A conflicted trustee or corporate officer is not permitted to use his or her personal influence with respect to the approval or disapproval of the conflicted transaction. 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 relevant. The trustee or corporate officer is excused from the meeting during discussion and vote on the conflict of interest. (Continued on Schedule O) |

| Form 990, Part III, Line 4A Program Service Accomplishments | Memorial Healthcare System Foundation Community Benefit Narrative For the Year ended 6/30/19 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 (Memorial), a tax exempt health care system. The mission of Common Spirit Health and Memorial Health Care System is to make the healing presence of God known in our world by improving the health of the people we serve, especially those who are vulnerable, while we advance social justice for all. 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 greater Chattanooga area. II. Community Benefit In FY 2019, 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 19, the Foundation raised 1.8 million for these purposes and disbursed $1.3 million to support Memorial Health Care System nonprofit health care services. Since its inception, the Foundation has raised $47 million and disbursed $39.5 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 3 people die from an opioid related overdose every day. 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 fy 18 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 19, 195 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 underserved and underinsured 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 underserved 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 nonre imbursable 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. Boynton Geriatric Clinic CHI Memorial's Center for Healthy Aging expanded, opening a second location in January 2019. The new office is located at the Chattanooga Housing Authority's Boynton Terrace Apartments in the Westside. Alycia Cleinman, M.D., board-certified geriatric and internal medicine physician, is the medical director of CHI Memorial Center for Healthy Aging. The site of the new Geriatric Clinic, Boynton Terrace, is a public housing property consisting of 250 units. Boynton Terrace is only available to elderly residents that fall under the income requirements for public housing. The Boynton Geriatric Clinic is located adjacent to two low-income housing developments, College Hill Courts with 500 units and Boynton Towers with 250 units. The median household income for this community is $11,259 compared to the national average of $50,152 and the Tennessee average of $42,144. As a satellite office of CHI Memorial's Center for Healthy Aging, Boynton Clinic specializes in geriatric medicine providing quality health care that helps adults remain healthy and active as they age. Providers focus on managing and treating complex age-related conditions including memory loss, fall and balance issues, and dementia-related behavioral problems, as well as primary care and social services to offer support to the whole family and provide access to community resources at the appropriate time.

| 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. For 15 years, the Chattanooga affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. has awarded grants to provide underserved women with access to mammograms. Through philanthropic support, the Foundation has purchased two mobile mammography units, enabling 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 coaches, many of which have been funded through the Komen grant and the TN Breast and Cervical Care Program. In 2009, upgrades to our first mobile coach were also funded through Foundation donations. Now both mobile coaches offers digital mammography and expand services to include clinical breast and pelvic exams. In FY 12, the Hurlburt Foundation 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 totaling $1.6 million to provide services throughout the region. In FY 19 of the 4,742 women participating in the outreach breast cancer screening programs, 6 women 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 women's 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 Weekend, a family retreat for cancer survivors. None of the services are billed to the patient and few qualify for insurance reimbursement. In FY 2019 the cost of this program was $1 million. 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 outpatient 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. In FY 19, Memorial partnered with the Chattanooga Tumor Clinic, an organization serving indigent cancer patients in our region for decades. The Tumor Clinic opened an office at Memorial in order to further enhance the partnership between organizations and serve more patients. Memorial, through the Foundation, was also gifted $100,000 to provide additional outreach and education for early detection of cancers. Indigent Care for Cancer Patients The Foundation secured funds from the Orion & Emma B. Hurlbut Fund 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 Hurlbut Foundation was comfortable that their donation would be used to assist the indigent, they have provided additional funding of $175,000. 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. Most recently, we assisted a breast cancer patient with mortgage and utility payments, who has been unable to work while undergoing double mastectomies due to the heavy lifting she must do at work. We were able to utilize grant funds along with other community resources to pay several months of her expenses so she could go through nearly all of her treatment without concern for decrease in income due to missed work. 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. |
