| CORE FORM, PART III; STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | Background ========== Capital health system, Inc. ("capital health") operates a multi-hospital healthcare system which provides substantial community benefit through the provision of a comprehensive spectrum of healthcare services to the residents of New Jersey and surrounding communities. Capital health is recognized by the internal revenue service ("IRS") as an internal revenue code section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Pursuant to its charitable purposes, capital health provides medically necessary healthcare services to all individuals in a non-discriminatory manner regardless of race, color, creed, sex, national origin or ability to pay. Moreover, the hospitals operate consistently with the following criteria outlined in IRS revenue ruling 69-545: 1) Capital Health provides medically necessary healthcare services to all individuals regardless of ability to pay; 2) Capital Health operates emergency departments at both of its hospital campuses; capital health regional medical center and capital health medical center - Hopewell; which are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days per year; 3) Capital Health maintains an open medical staff, with privileges available to all qualified physicians; 4) Control of capital health rests with its board of directors; which is comprised of independent civic leaders and other prominent members of the community; and 5) Surplus funds are used to improve the quality of patient care, expand and renovate facilities and advance medical care, programs and activities. With over a century of service to the greater mercer and bucks county areas, capital health is comprised of 458 licensed beds, employs approximately 5,566 individuals, and generates over 693 million dollars in annual net patient service revenue. Capital health regional medical center and capital health medical center - Hopewell are separately licensed acute care hospitals with 237 and 221 beds; respectively. Capital health also operates a new kind of healthcare center that puts family physicians and specialists, state-of-the-art technologies, and same-day surgical services all in one location. Capital health in hamilton, located at 1445 whitehorse-mercerville road, and spanning 46,293 square feet, creates a "medical mall" where patients can seek a host of services such as outpatient surgery, radiological testing and specialized care. In addition, 1401 whitehorse-mercerville road spans an additional 26,000 square feet of specialty care including a sleep center. The family health center ("fhc") at capital health is located at 433 bellevue avenue in trenton. The 14,000 square foot location helps provides critical healthcare access to the underserved in the region. This site has adult medical and specialty programs, as well as maternal child health clinics. In addition to the ch medical clinic at the fhc there is also a satellite of the henry j. Austin family medicine clinic, which is a designated federally qualified health center ("fqhc") at the same location, which also provides comprehensive primary care for families, including evaluations and same-day walk-in and sick appointments for adults and children, and patients have access to lower cost prescriptions, social service and patient navigation. In 2019 Capital Health assumed operation of the satellite emergency department (now Capital Health at Deborah-Emergency Services) located on the Browns Mills campus of Deborah Heart and Lung Center, Burlington County's only fully licensed cardiac center. The 10,000 square foot SED operates 24 hours a day and features 11 exam/treatment rooms, triage bay, cardiac resuscitation room, specialized treatment areas (including OB/GYN and isolation/decontamination), and support services such as lab and radiology. Capital health is guided by its dedication to the healthcare needs of the communities that it serves. That level of determination and commitment is an essential part of the culture at capital health. Capital health provides healthcare services to all people in a non-discriminatory manner, regardless of race, color, creed, sex, national origins or ability to pay. Moreover, capital health provides healthcare services to patients who meet certain criteria under its charity care policy, as defined by the New Jersey state attorney general, without charge or at amounts less than established rates. Capital health 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. Mission statement ================= To improve the health and well-being of the populations we serve in urban and suburban communities. In support of the health system's mission, in 2017 the Capital Health Institute for Urban Care was formed. The institute's mission is to coalesce, grow and align the services of Capital Health with community and other partners to advance the health and well-being of the residents of Trenton. Activities and programs of the Institute for Urban Care are based on needs identified in the Trenton Community Health Needs and Assets Assessment published in June 2019. Strategic foci include programming addressing chronic disease, maternal/child health and behavioral health/substance use disorder. These three tenets are leveraged on a foundation of community both internal and external to the health system. Chronic disease such as diabetes and cancer unfortunately has a disproportionate impact on the health of the residents of Trenton, which is a majority minority city and the Capital of New Jersey. The Institute of Urban Care, working with the Trenton Health Team and other community partners has developed the Capital City Diabetes Collaborative, to address the clinical, environmental and social determinants of health related to diabetes. This 5-year program funded by the Merck Foundation, has led to implementation of evidence-based treatment guidelines, enhanced screening for eye disease and the prevention of blindness as well as addressing food insecurity in the city. Violence is unfortunately another "chronic disease" within our city. Capital Health was recently awarded $1.9M grant to provide comprehensive wraparound services to victims of violence to decrease the incidence of reinjury, retaliation and the impact of post-traumatic stress disorder that is so commonly seen. Programming addressing maternal child health, behavioral health and substance use disorder are now woven into Capital Health programming. Our prenatal clinic in Trenton has received funding for a Centering model of care. This evidence-based, group prenatal visit model has been shown to improve birth outcomes and decrease health disparities related to mom and baby. Capital Health has also made a substantial investment ($750,000) to update the clinical space which houses our prenatal and internal medicine residency programs. As leaders within the community, Capital Health plays a key role in the Trenton Maternal Stakeholders group which has facilitated the planning, growth, improvement and coordination of programs such as doula services, maternal community health workers and post-partum nurse home visits. Capital Health's opioid program for pregnant women has created a new avenue of treatment not previously in place in our community leading to decreases in NICU stays for opioid-impacted infants and increased family unification. Capital Health has included opioid navigation services within our Emergency Departments, integrated behavioral health services into our busiest Trenton primary care practice and implemented opioid reduction order sets and processes to optimize non-opioid treatment modalities for those coming in for emergency services at our Hopewell campus. From a community point of view, the Institute for Urban Care led Capital Health's journey to become a Leader in LGBTQ equality to optimize inclusion and diversity for our patients, staff and community. Our commitment to community is evident by our history of providing comprehensive health care to Trentonians for more than 125 years. In 2019, we supported the Trenton Housing Authority allowing them to obtain a $1.3M grant from HUD to update the Donnelly Homes, a housing project 1 mile from our Regional Medical Center facility. We collaborated with KinderSmile, a non-profit dental program to bring services into Trenton. The Institute of Urban Care continues its work both within the Health System and collaboratively with our community stakeholders to decrease health disparities and improve the health and well-being of our neighbors. |

| CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION B; QUESTION 12 | THE ORGANIZATION IS AN AFFILIATE WITHIN CAPITAL HEALTH SYSTEM AND AFFILIATES ("SYSTEM"); A TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM. THE ORGANIZATION AND THE SYSTEM REGULARLY MONITOR AND ENFORCE COMPLIANCE WITH ITS CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. ANNUALLY ALL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND SENIOR MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL ARE REQUIRED TO REVIEW THE EXISTING CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY AND COMPLETE A QUESTIONNAIRE. THE COMPLETED QUESTIONNAIRES ARE RETURNED TO THE ORGANIZATION AND both THE SYSTEM'S senior vice president/chief legal OFFICER and chief compliance officer FOR REVIEW.

THE SYSTEM'S chief compliance OFFICER THEN PRESENTS THIS SUMMARY TO THE SYSTEM'S FULL BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR ITS REVIEW AND DISCUSSION. THIS SUMMARY IS UPDATED BY THE chief compliance OFFICER ON A QUARTERLY BASIS. |
| CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION B; QUESTION 15 | The organization's board of directors has a board compensation committee ("committee"). The committee has adopted a written executive compensation philosophy which it follows when it reviews and approves of the compensation and benefits of all of the organization's senior management and others, including the chief executive officer, chief financial officer and other officers of the organization, physicians, and any other disqualified persons. It also reviews and approves employment agreements for the covered employees and disqualified persons. The committee reviews the "total compensation" of the individuals which is intended to include both current and deferred compensation and all employee benefits, both qualified and non-qualified. The committee's review is done on at least an annual basis and ensures that the "total compensation" of each such individual is reasonable. The actions taken by the committee are intended for the organization to qualify for the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness for purposes of internal revenue code section 4958 with respect to the total compensation of the senior management team. Rebuttal presumption requirements have guided the activities of the committee in all of its reviews, deliberations and approval of executive compensation actions for all of the covered employees and disqualified persons. The three factors which must be satisfied in order to receive the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness are the following: 1. The compensation arrangement is approved in advance by an "authorized body" of the applicable tax-exempt organization which is composed entirely of individuals who do not have a "conflict of interest" with respect to the compensation arrangement; 2. The authorized body obtained and relied upon "appropriate data as to comparability" prior to making its determination; and 3. The authorized body "adequately documented the basis for its determination" concurrently with making that determination. The committee is comprised of members of the board of directors each of whom is independent and are free from any conflicts of interest. The committee relied upon comparability market data provided by its independent compensation consultant from comparable healthcare and hospital peers based on tax-exempt status, revenue, location, services, and other factors to ensure the executives' compensation is representative of the executive talent market and compared to what is "ordinarily paid for like services by like enterprises under like circumstances" as referenced under irs regulations. Contemporaneous minutes are compiled and approved for all Committee deliberations. These are supported by the written documentation of all peer and market compensation studies, as well as detailed performance justification used as the basis for awards under the Organization's incentive programs. Recognizing the need to consider retirement planning for its senior management as a means to aid in their retention, the Committee maintains a form of long-term non-qualified deferred compensation (referred to as the "Performance-Based Capital Accumulation Plan", or "PBCAP"), which is part of the Capital Health System Non-Qualified 457(f) Deferred Compensation Plan. PBCAP provides the Organization with an additional tool to assist in the recruitment and retention of senior management within the highly competitive healthcare labor market. PBCAP provides senior management with the opportunity to qualify for annual deferred contributions, based on achieving specified performance targets and meeting established circuit breakers, to be paid at a future pre-determined date contingent upon continued service with the Organization. The compensation and benefits of certain other individuals contained in this Form 990 are reviewed annually by the President/Chief Executive Officer with assistance from Organization's Human Resources Department and independent compensation consultants in conjunction with the individual's job performance during the year, and is based upon other objective factors designed to ensure that reasonable and fair market value compensation is paid by the Organization. Other objective factors include market survey data for comparable positions, individual goals and objectives, personnel reviews, evaluations, self-evaluations and performance feedback meetings. |
