| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a Program Service Accomplishment | (Continued from Part III) In 2020, Norton Healthcare, through its affiliate, Community Medical Associates Inc., had approximately 2.5 million patient encounters. Norton Healthcare's hospitals, diagnostic centers and Norton Cancer Institute served 67,225 inpatients and 543,384 outpatients, and saw 205,571 emergency room visits. In addition, Norton Healthcare hospitals' operating rooms cared for 17,440 inpatient surgical patients and 34,160 outpatient surgical patients. Additionally, 7,986 babies were delivered at Norton Healthcare birthing facilities. As part of our commitment to improving the health of our community, Norton Healthcare provides funding for a wide array of lifesaving and life-enhancing services that benefit the communities we serve. In 2020, under its charity care program, Norton Healthcare provided free care to 8,497 patients, at a cost of $12.8 million. Also, Norton Healthcare grants a discount from billed charges to any patients who have no access to private health insurance or do not qualify for government assistance or charity care. Under this program, 9,796 patients were provided care at discounted rates. Other contributions to the community were the unpaid cost of Medicaid services of $51.5 million and educational support of $75.0 million, primarily to the University of Louisville (UofL) School of Medicine. Community health improvement services totaled $15.6 million and contributions to community groups were $1.6 million. Norton Healthcare employees donated 55,000 hours of community service, a benefit valued at more than $600,000. In addition, many employees self-reported personal volunteer activities. Norton Healthcare provides programmatic support to the UofL School of Medicine through funding and facilities. During the 2020 calendar year, 198 residents completed clinical rotations in 43 specialties at Norton Healthcare facilities. Residency programs are part of the $75.0 million in educational support and clinical funding provided to the medical school. Contributions to the community * Norton Healthcare employees and physicians gave nearly $ $917,980 to our 2020 - 2021 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. * Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of volunteers in 2020 was limited to 42 employees who helped "raise the roof" on Norton Healthcare's 13th Habitat for Humanity home. * In 2020, more than 1,400 Norton Healthcare employees donated time and funds to plan, purchase and deliver gifts, food and clothing for the Caring Tree program. The program assisted 512 employees and their 1,168 children and dependents by providing for their families at Christmas. * More than 31,000 pounds of usable surplus medical supplies valued at more than $456,000, and over $146,000 in equipment, were donated for use locally and around the world. Of the donated equipment, ventilators valued at $98,000 were returned to Norton Healthcare in April 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 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 Resources Department's Workforce Development team and our Norton Healthcare Institute for Education & Development. Workforce Development encourages continuing education, improves job performance and provides financial assistance for educational programs aimed toward key areas of workforce need within 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 with tuition assistance. In 2020, Workforce Development financially supported more than 700 students with over $3.5 million in educational assistance programs. * In 2020, Workforce Development provided nearly 1,100 career coaching sessions to employees and students. Each program participant worked directly with a career management coach. Coaches offer services in resume writing, career and educational exploration, financial assistance opportunities and interviewing skills. * The accelerated Norton Healthcare Scholars Program, a student loan program for employees and non employees, provides educational funding to students interested in pursuing health care-related degrees in areas of workforce need. It is an affiliation between Norton Healthcare and over 100 colleges and universities nationally. Since 2014, this program has assisted more than 1,000 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 local 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 internship 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. Each phase offers a rigorous curriculum, business acumen and professional development, as well as hands-on learning opportunities in the students' chosen career fields. The goal is to transition graduating students into staff positions with our organization after completion of the program. Tuition assistance is offered for these new employees to continue their academic and career pursuits while working at Norton Healthcare in the field of their choice. * In 2019, Norton Healthcare announced a strategic partnership program with UPS and Metro College. Norton Healthcare - UPS Health Care Career Tracks provides a two-plus-two method, splitting a four-year bachelor's degree into two parts. Typically, the first two years are spent working with UPS in a general or preclinical designation, and then the student begins their clinical program in the last two years. This transition allows students to explore employment with Norton Healthcare as well as become a Norton Healthcare 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 (SNAP) is a 12- to 18-month apprenticeship through the Norton Healthcare Center for Nursing Practice in which nursing students work and engage in hands-on learning with an experienced mentor while becoming integrated with Norton Healthcare. * In 2019, Norton Healthcare launched new apprenticeship programs. The surgical tech apprenticeship 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 launched in 2020 with a goal of internal training programs to produce quality prepared medical assistants to introduce into the Norton Healthcare workforce. There are several cohorts for apprenticeships throughout each year. The Norton Healthcare Institute for Education and Development provides learning opportunities to enhance the professional, educational and personal development of all employees. It consists of seven centers: the Center for Professional Growth; Center for Nursing Practice; Center for Continuing Medical, Nursing & Provider Education; Center for e Learning & Clinical Documentation Support; Center for Allied Health; and Center for System Nursing & Ancillary Education. The Center for Professional Growth provides learning and growth opportunities that meet the needs of Norton Healthcare employees. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a Program Service Accomplishment | Continued * Norton Healthcare's leadership development program is composed of three programs that address the needs of new, aspiring and current leaders: * N the Know: This is our new leader orientation program. Newly hired and promoted leaders are automatically enrolled. The program has four required courses and six elective courses. * Learning the Norton Way: This six-week program is focused on preparing employees for leadership. Leadership approval is required for all employees who wish to attend. * Leading the Norton Way: This program is for current Norton Healthcare leaders. It is a six-week program focused on best practices for effective leadership. Additional leadership development is provided through quarterly Norton Healthcare leadership conferences.

These programs were designed to meet the needs of Norton Healthcare, as well as our community, and to ensure the highest quality of patient care. 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 members. In 2020, the department served more than 200 faith communities with active health ministry programs and communicated best practices for COVID-19, including mitigation, reopening and other health and safety practices. By maximizing long-standing relationships, the department provided a trusted voice for timely pandemic information relevant to faith communities. Efforts included: * Distribution of 12 issues of the "Coordinators' Connection" email to 220 health ministry volunteer leaders, advising on vital COVID-19 announcements and resources * Hosting five networking sessions with health experts and spiritual support, providing a regular space for questions and answers; 119 individuals attended these sessions * Providing a COVID-19-focused bimonthly newsletter, distributed electronically to an average of 1,400 subscribers per issue * Russell F. Cox, president and CEO, wrote an article informing faith leaders and the larger community of Norton Healthcare's mission-driven response to the pandemic in a midyear issue of "Health Ministries Connection" newsletter, delivered to 5,000 individuals. While the COVID-19 pandemic presented unique challenges, Norton Faith & Health Ministries continued to nurture relationships with faith communities and build bridges to whole-person health and wellness information and services. 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. The COVID-19 pandemic presented many new challenges and opportunities for the department. As visitation restrictions were implemented and patient numbers decreased in the spring of 2020, chaplains put additional focus on supporting staff. With so many changes, uncertainties and anxieties, chaplains listened, prayed with and encouraged staff of all disciplines. The leadership of Norton Healthcare routinely reminded all 17,000+ employees that chaplains were available 24/7 to help them. Together, chaplains and caregivers learned how to use iPads and Zoom videoconferencing technology to help patients communicate with family members. More than three dozen initiatives were undertaken to support staff during 2020, including: * Videotaping worship services for employees unable to attend services in person * Providing small cards with inspirational messages to hand out to staff and patients * Creating "Flat Henry," a paper photo version of a facility dog who is handled by a chaplain, to use when the dog could not be in the hospital * Meeting with family members in the parking lots when they could not come into the hospital * Assigning chaplains individual groups or communities to support. One chaplain focused on the Hispanic community by visiting families at funeral homes and providing ongoing support. Another became the chaplain for staff who were on extended furlough due to long-term COVID-19 symptoms. Even with the total number of patients down for several months during 2020, chaplains made more than 29,000 patient contacts, plus the thousands of family members they also cared for during those visits. Pastoral care conversations were made over the phone with patients and family members alike. As supplies of personal protective equipment (PPE) became more stable, chaplains spent more time in rooms with patients and welcomed visitors back during the summer. 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 * Providing comfort and conversation with patients who were 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. Through formal and informal staff support efforts, 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 is Louisville's leading cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment program. Each year, it provides diagnostic, medical, interventional and surgical care for thousands of patients from Kentucky and Southern Indiana. Norton Heart & Vascular Institute specialists treat patients at Norton Healthcare's four adult-service hospitals and more than 28 outpatient clinics, diagnostic centers and specialty locations throughout Greater Louisville and Southern Indiana. Norton Heart & Vascular Institute is a progressive group of practices that maintains more than 52% of the total cardiovascular market share, more than any other health care provider in our service area. It offers comprehensive cardiovascular care, including specialized programs for electrophysiology, structural heart defects, advanced cardiac imaging, advanced heart failure and cardiac rehabilitation. * Kentucky has one of the highest occurrences of heart disease in the country. As a result, Norton Heart & Vascular Institute has committed to being a leader in acute chest pain care. All four of Norton Healthcare's adult-service hospitals are recognized by the American College of Cardiology as Acute Chest Pain Centers. Optimal care for heart attack patients takes coordination at the hospital, emergency medical services and system levels. For excellence in coordinating this care and creating a regional network of care, Norton Healthcare received the Mission: Lifeline Regional STEMI Trailblazer Achievement Award from the American Heart Association and was the only health care organization in Kentucky to receive this award. * Comorbidities found in many in our region, as well as advancing heart disease, are leading to increased occurrences of heart failure. The Norton Heart & Vascular Institute Advanced Heart Failure & Recovery Program provides comprehensive care to manage heart failure, and in some cases, recover individuals out of heart failure. In 2020, the program expanded its advanced treatment offerings as Norton Audubon Hospital received ventricular assist device (VAD) accreditation from DNV GL Healthcare USA and the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. This advanced level of care, partnered with navigation, patient education and support of those with heart failure, is key to impacting heart failure care in Kentucky. * In 2020, Norton Healthcare achieved systemwide noninvasive cardiology accreditation from the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission. Departments that perform that perform noninvasive cardiology procedures are many times the first |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a Program Service Accomplishments | continued touchpoint for Norton Healthcare patients for heart and vascular care.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the expectant parent curriculum was adjusted to offer classes online. Class offerings were significantly reduced due to the lack of resources available for virtual instruction. Norton Children's Prevention & Wellness * Child passenger safety technicians check car and booster seats and also provide car and booster seats at free checkup clinics statewide. In 2020, 97 car seats were given to families in need through the community events and hospital admissions. Additionally, 34 special needs car seats were loaned to children with body casts and premature infants who would not safely fit in a conventional car seat. Certified car seat technicians completed 273 car seat inspections. 41 new car seat technicians were trained and certified locally and throughout the state. * The Norton Children's Bike Safety Rodeo program held 19 rodeo events to teach bicycle safety to 2,010 students from grades 3 through 5 throughout Kentucky. * The "Just for Kids" Transport Team transports babies and children from across the region to Norton Children's Hospital. Transportation is provided by airplane, helicopter and specially equipped ambulances (mobile intensive care units). In 2020, 1,643 transportation trips were completed. * In early February, more than 3,600 kindergarten students, teachers, chaperones and nursing students participated in the 37th annual Children and Hospitals Week event. The program was held at Louisville Slugger Field and supported by a Kohl's Cares grant. Children and Hospitals Week is designed to teach safe decisions and behaviors to help lessen the fear and anxiety children may have about coming to a hospital. * Norton Children's food pantries in 19 of our pediatric and family medicine primary care practices served over 10,000 individuals with food insecurity needs. * In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Norton Children's Prevention & Wellness moved all of its in-person programming to a virtual platform in March of 2020, serving over 5,187 individuals with prevention and wellness programming, including cooking workshops, Teen Wellness Workshops, Healthy Living Wellness Group, and Teen Talk, Open Airways, Power Up and Play, Safe Baby Essentials, Safe Kids and Safe Grandparenting classes.

Subspecialty neurosurgeons, neurologists and other neurology-related specialists have joined the growing institute. These physicians and advanced practice providers offer expertise in stroke care, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), brain tumors, headaches, concussions, spine care, endovascular and cerebrovascular neurosurgery, and many other neurological conditions. * Kentucky is considered to be part of the "stroke belt," a region of the United States that sees a high number of incidents of stroke cases. As a result, Norton Neuroscience Institute has committed to being a leader in stroke care. Norton Brownsboro Hospital is a designated Comprehensive Stroke Center. Norton Audubon Hospital and Norton Hospital are certified Primary Stroke Centers, and Norton Women's & Children's Hospital is an Acute Stroke Ready certified center. * Neurosurgeons with Norton Neuroscience Institute were the first in Kentucky to use minimally invasive surgery techniques, including robotic surgery, laser ablation and stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) in the treatment of brain tumors and epilepsy for children and adults. * Norton Neuroscience Institute offers treatment for all neurological disorders. Providers work together for the patient, providing multidisciplinary programs in areas of brain tumor, ALS, movement disorders, epilepsy, trigeminal neuralgia (face pain) and stroke. * In 2019, Norton Neuroscience Institute's pediatric neurosurgeons came together with the UofL School of Medicine Department of Neurology, Division of Child Neurology, to create Norton Children's Neuroscience Institute, affiliated with the UofL School of Medicine. While both groups having been working together for decades, the creation of the new institute allows for leading experts to work more seamlessly together to treat the full spectrum of spine and brain conditions in children. 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 * Norton Healthcare Prevention and Wellness played a key role in supporting the community throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, this department supported the first COVID-19 testing site and provided testing throughout the city at various locations. In December 2020, it began administering COVID-19 vaccinations. * In 2020, Norton Healthcare Prevention & Wellness staff provided preventive screenings aboard the Norton Healthcare Mobile Prevention Center in collaboration with various community partners. Over 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 13% had never had a mammogram. Of the almost 90 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 provided to almost 1,200 community members at various events, such as health fairs and presentations. If eligible and interested, participants were offered referrals for a colonoscopy or given an at-home |

Colonoscopy referrals were made for 29 people and 95 people received at-home testing kits. To help eliminate barriers to care, Norton Healthcare Prevention & Wellness implemented a dedicated phone number, (502) 446-WELL, that links eligible patients to colonoscopy scheduling or requesting in-home tests. * In collaboration with many community partners, staff provided almost 2,000 cardiovascular screenings (blood pressure, BMI, glucose and cholesterol) for approximately 700 participants in multiple locations throughout Jefferson and surrounding counties, including in Southern Indiana. Each participant received education on healthy lifestyle choices, such as diet and exercise. Group education on various health and wellness topics was provided throughout the year. * Norton Healthcare Prevention & Wellness conducted nine American Lung Association Freedom From Smoking classes in 2020, with over 20 people attending. Half reported they were tobacco-free. One class was taught in Spanish. * The Get Healthy Walking Club has almost 5,000 members. 2020 brought 1,081 new members to the free club to improve their overall health. Get Healthy Walking Club members have free access to walk each day at the Louisville Zoo from March through October, 8 to 9:30 a.m. Research * Norton Healthcare guides one of the largest portfolios of clinical research of any community health care system in the United States. At any point in 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. * Areas of clinical research focus include pediatrics, oncology, cardiology, orthopedics and spine, neurology, neurosurgery, maternal-fetal medicine and pulmonology. * Norton Healthcare invests significantly in clinical research to benefit our community/patients and to support clinical science by participating in the development of new clinical interventions (drugs/device/procedures) that will become generalizable to and shared with a wide number of patient populations and medical professionals. These new, innovative treatments expand the medical community's knowledge and potentially improve the quality of medical care now and in the future. * In 2020, Norton Healthcare responded to the COVID-19 pandemic by opening and guiding more than 10 COVID-19 treatment studies. As a clinical study site, Norton Healthcare enrolled the first patient in the world for three of those clinical trials. * Norton Healthcare guided a Phase 3 study of the one-dose Johnson & Johnson/Janssen COVID-19 vaccine that gained FDA Emergency Use Authorization early in 2021. Norton Healthcare, in partnership with UK HealthCare and Baptist Health Lexington, gained visibility as the largest enrolling site in the world for this important study. Community support in 2020 Cancer doesn't stop for a pandemic. Neither does the birth of a baby or children conquering illnesses and injury. Just like the incredible patients and health care heroes who care for them, support from the community did not stop in the midst of 2020. Norton Children's Hospital Foundation and Norton Healthcare Foundation collectively raised more than $21.3 million in 2020 in support of care at Norton Children's Hospital and its sister facilities and Norton Healthcare's adult-service facilities. Norton Children's Hospital Foundation The Norton Children's Hospital Foundation raises millions of dollars for Norton Children's Hospital, Kentucky's only full-service, free-standing pediatric hospital; Norton Children's Medical Center; and pediatric services at Norton Women's & Children's Hospital to support patient care, programs, equipment and facilities, research, advocacy and education. The Norton Children's Hospital Foundation is motivated to ensure that children from throughout Greater Louisville have the medical care they need when they need it, while keeping kids as close to home as possible. Support from the Norton Children's Hospital Foundation allows the pediatric specialists of Norton Children's facilities and pediatric services to continue to respond to the unique medical needs of all children. Norton Children's Hospital is Louisville's only Level I Pediatric Trauma Center and the primary teaching facility for the UofL School of Medicine Department of Pediatrics. * Norton Children's Prevention & Wellness * General clinical, educational and research program support at the Wendy Novak Diabetes Center * New "Just for Kids" Transport Team ambulance * New 3D EOS Imaging System * Cellular Therapy Program development * New O-Arm Surgical Imaging System * Neuroimmunology Multidisciplinary Clinic support and equipment * New state-of-the-art diagnostic and ultrasound equipment for Norton Children's Outpatient Center - Bowling Green * New X3 monitors for the Jennifer Lawrence Cardiac Intensive Care Unit Norton Healthcare Foundation The Norton Healthcare Foundation is the philanthropic arm of the not-for-profit Norton Healthcare's adult services and four adult-service hospitals: Norton Audubon Hospital, Norton Brownsboro Hospital, Norton Hospital and Norton Women's & Children's Hospital.

| 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, 2020. The other components of net periodic pension cost was $4.4 million for year ended December 31, 2020. |
