| Schedule A, Part IV, Section A, Line 1: | The Articles of Incorporation of the filing organization state in the Purposes Clause that the filing organization shall support the nonprofit corporations for which the filing organization is the sole member, including but not limited to 21 named subsidiary tax-exempt organizations. The filing organization serves as the parent organization to a number of tax-exempt hospital, nursing home, and other healthcare provider entities. The filing organization provides leadership and various professional support services to all of its subsidiaries. |
| Schedule A, Part IV, Section A, Line 5a | AdventHealth Senior Care, Inc. f/k/a AdventHealth Osceola South, Inc. (EIN: 84-1817046) (AHSC) has been added as a supported organization in 2020. AHSC was incorporated as a Florida not-for-profit corporation in April of 2019. The filing organization is the sole member of AHSC. AHSC is recognized as a Section 501(c)(3) organization which owns and/or operates medical clinics at which health care services are offered. AHSC will commence operations January, 2022. Article III, Section 3 of the filing organization's Bylaws provides that the filing organization's Board of Directors has the exclusive power to approve all acquisitions and mergers above a certain dollar threshold. |
| Schedule A, Part IV, Section B, Line 2: | AHSSHC was organized in 1981 to serve as the parent of a healthcare system that would own, operate, and manage hospitals previously operated by the Southern Union Conference of the North American Division of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. Thereafter, AHSSHC acquired hospitals operated by the Southwestern, Lake Union and Mid-America Union Conferences of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. AHSSHC is the parent organization to a number of subsidiaries. These subsidiaries operate hospitals, nursing homes, and provide various other healthcare services. All of the hospital and nursing home subsidiaries of AHSSHC are IRC Section 501(c)(3) organizations. AHSSHC provides executive leadership and professional support services to its subsidiary organizations. Professional support services include among others IT, corporate compliance, legal, reimbursement, risk management, and tax as well as treasury functions. Certain support services, such as human resources, payroll, A/P, and supply chain management are provided pursuant to a shared services model by AHSSHC to its subsidiary organizations. Article II of the Restated Articles of Incorporation of AHSSHC set forth the purposes of the organization. Specifically, paragraph 1 of the Article states the following: "In furtherance of its charitable purposes, the corporation shall operate to further the health ministry of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and its activities will be conducted in support of the health mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in such ways as the Board of Directors shall determine in its discretion. The corporation will provide management, consulting and related services to health care facilities (e.g., hospitals, skilled nursing, home health, hospice, physician clinics, etc.), educational institutions and other healthcare related businesses that are owned and/or operated by organizations affiliated with the corporation and that are located within the geographic areas of the United States served by the Southern Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, Southwestern Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, Lake Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, Mid-America Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists (the Unions") and such other locations as may be approved by the Board of Directors of the corporation." These stated purposes demonstrate that AHSSHC was established to carry out the health ministry of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and that its policies, programs, and activities will be conducted in accordance with the health mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Section 3, Article III of the Bylaws of AHSSHC states that its business and affairs will be controlled by its Board of Directors. Section 4, Article III of the Bylaws provides that the membership of AHSSHC shall elect its Board of Directors. A majority of the members of the Board of Directors serve as Directors by virtue of their position as President of one of the various Unions, Conferences, or Colleges/Universities (Article III, Section 5 of the Bylaws). The necessary qualifications of Directors are set forth in Article III, Section 6 of the Bylaws. The Unions and Conferences of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists are unincorporated associations that serve as regional/state/multi-state ecclesiastical leaders who provide theological and administrative support to organizations controlled and/or affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The membership of AHSSHC is described in Article II, Section 1 of the Bylaws. The membership of the Corporation shall consist of: (a) those individuals who are duly elected members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation; and (b) those individuals who are duly elected members of an executive committee of any of the Unions, including those persons who serve on the executive committee by virtue of their position (ex officio) (collectively the "Membership and individually, "Member"). An individual holding membership privileges by virtue of his election as a member of one of the above-named Union Conferences or as a member of the Board of Directors of AHSSHC retains his membership privileges only so long as he remains a member of his respective Union Conference Executive Committee or as a member of the Board of Directors of AHSSHC. Each member has one vote and the questions put before the members are determined by majority vote (see Section 5, Article II of the Bylaws). As noted above, the Board of Directors of AHSSHC is elected by the members of AHSSHC. The majority of the board members of AHSSHC are elected officials of the Unions, Conferences, or specifically-stated Seventh-day Adventist colleges/universities. Accordingly, the majority of the Directors of AHSSHC will be elected by members who serve as members by virtue of their elected position of one of the Seventh-day Adventist Church Unions, Conferences, or Colleges/Universities. Therefore, a majority of the Board of Directors of AHSSHC is composed of individuals serving in their official capacity as representatives of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. As noted above, AHSSHC performs support functions and provides executive leadership for the benefit of its various publicly supported organizations within the meaning of IRC 509(a)(3)(A). The formation of the predecessor of AHSSHC was authorized by the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists to perform these support functions in pursuit of the health ministry of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Accordingly, the purposes of the General Conference are carried out by AHSSHC through its support to its subsidiary organizations that own and operate hospitals and nursing homes. |

| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 4 | In 2020, Adventist Health System Sunbelt Healthcare Corporation (AHSSHC or the Corporation) restated and amended its Articles of Incorporation and amended its Bylaws to make a number of changes as discussed below. Part I, Article II of the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation was revised in 2020 to update the list of nonprofit corporations, among others, supported by AHSSHC, to delete the references to an Executive Board, and to state that the Corporation shall not engage in activities not permitted by a Section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt corporation. Article I of the Bylaws was updated and refined in 2020 to include the Corporation's mission statement of "Extending the Healing Ministry of Christ and to include the stated values of Quality and Service Excellence, Community Well Being, High Ethical Standards, Stewardship, and Inclusiveness. Although the composition of the Membership of AHSSHC did not change, the definition of a quorum for any regular or special meeting of the Membership was changed from 40% of the Members to 30% of the Members. Article VII of the Articles of Incorporation and Article III of the Bylaws of AHSSHC were changed with respect to the Board of Directors. Prior to amendment, the Board of Directors was to consist of not more than 67 members. In the 2020 amended Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, a change was made to state that the Board of Directors shall consist of 24 directors. Additionally, the Bylaws of the Corporation were updated with respect to certain reserved powers of the Board of Directors, and several new reserved powers were added as follows. The threshold asset value for the power to approve acquisitions, mergers, joint ventures, and joint operating agreements was changed from $20 million to $50 million. The prior reserved power to approve all hospital closures or divestitures was changed to only those hospital and non-hospital entities having a threshold value of $50 million or more. The threshold value for the reserved power of approving singular capital expenditures was changed from $10 million to $25 million. The prior reserved power to approve sales of assets in excess of $10 million was removed. The reserved power to approve any new debt (with exceptions for certain short-term credit or refinancing) in excess of $100 million was added, along with the reserved powers to approve the Strategic Plan for the Corporation and to approve clinical/quality performance metrics for the Corporation and to receive an annual report concerning same. Along with the decrease in the number of the Board of Director members, the composition of the Board of Directors was also changed. Previously, there were three classes of Board members consisting of 1) individuals appointed by virtue of the position held by the individual with the Seventh-day Adventist Church (the Church) or with the Corporation; 2) Membership representatives; and 3) At-Large Directors. The 2020 amended Bylaws provide for two classes of Directors consisting of 1) individuals appointed by virtue of their position held with the Church or the Corporation; and 2) At-Large Directors. Individuals appointed by virtue of their position with the Church will hold fourteen Board of Director seats. Two Board of Director seats will be filled by the President of the Corporation and the Chief Executive Officer Emeritus. Up to eight Board of Director seats will be held by At-Large Directors. The term for At-Large Directors will be three years and no At-Large Director shall serve more than two consecutive terms. At-Large Directors may receive reasonable compensation for their board service; no other Directors shall receive compensation but may be reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in fulfilling their Board of Director duties. The 2020 amended Bylaws delete the provision that previously provided for an Executive Board of the Board of Directors. Article IV of the amended Bylaws provides for an Advisory Council whose duties shall consist of providing counsel and advice to the Corporation and its executives but shall have no governance authority. The Advisory Council shall consist of individuals who hold certain positions with the Church but are not presently serving on the Board of Directors and up to ten additional members as appointed by the Board of Directors. The provisions in the Corporation's Bylaws dealing with Corporate officers were amended to remove from the category of eligible Corporate officers those individuals who held certain elected offices within the Church. The 2020 amended Bylaws provide that Corporate officers shall be employees of the Corporation or one of its affiliates. Article VII of the Corporation's Bylaws sets forth the authority and responsibility reserved to the Corporation with regard to affiliated organizations for which the Corporation is the sole member or controlling stockholder. Certain of these reserved powers were changed as a result of the 2020 amendments to the Bylaws. Thresholds were established for two of the Corporation's reserved powers. The authority to set limits and terms for any and all types of financial transactions was amended to include only those exceeding $100,000. The authority to secure naming rights and to direct the placement of funds and capital and the making of gifts, sponsorships, donations, loans, and transfers of funds or other assets was amended to include only those exceeding $1,000,000. The reserved right to approve or disapprove the medical staff bylaws, rules and regulations of affiliated health care facilities was removed. The following reserved powers were added in the 2020 amendments: 1) the authority to approve or disapprove the implementation of non-traditional, non-healthcare related activities; 2) the authority to approve or disapprove performance/quality improvement, revenue cycle and case management programs; 3) the authority to approve or disapprove the selection of the auditing firm retained to audit the books of the affiliated organizations; 4) the authority to approve or disapprove the election of the fiscal year of the affiliated organizations; 5) the authority to approve or disapprove the selection of the group purchasing organization(s) for the affiliated organizations; 6) the authority to approve or disapprove any joint venture or partnership in which an affiliated organization would be a member or partner; 7) the authority to approve or disapprove the IT systems and other shared services used by the affiliated organizations; 8) the authority to require an affiliated organization's adherence to the system-wide naming nomenclature and service standards adopted by the Corporation; 9) the authority to set and enforce policies for physician compensation including commercial reasonableness and fair market value; and 10) the authority to exercise such other powers as are necessary in connection with the stated reserved powers. Prior to the 2020 amendments to the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, the Bylaws could only be amended by a vote of two-thirds of the Members present at a regular or special meeting called for such purposes at which a quorum was present. The 2020 amended Bylaws provide that the Bylaws may only be made, altered, or rescinded by a vote of the Members at a regular or special meeting for which a quorum is present and require that not less than a majority of the Members present vote in favor of the proposed amendment or by consent of the Members without a meeting pursuant to certain provisions in the amended Bylaws. The Dissolution provisions of Article X of the Articles of Incorporation and Article XI of the Bylaws were revised and updated to provide that if any Church Union Conference was not in existence on the date of distribution or was not recognized as a 501(c)(3) organization on the date of dissolution, such Church Union's distribution would be made to a Residual Beneficiary which is defined as any 501(c)(3) organization listed in the edition of the Seventh-day Adventist Yearbook published immediately prior to the distribution date. Article XII of the Articles of Incorporation was amended to provide that any amendments to the Articles of Incorporation may be amended by a vote of the Members at a regular or special meeting of the Members at which a quorum is present and not less than a majority of the Members present vote in favor of the adoption of the proposed amendment or by consent of the Members without a meeting pursuant to certain provisions in the amended Bylaws. Prior to the 2020 amendment, the Articles of Incorporation could only be amended by a vote of two-thirds of the Members present at a regular or special meeting called for such purpose or by mail ballot to the Members which ballot must be approved by a majority vote. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6 | The governing documents of the filing organization provide that the membership of the Corporation shall consist of: (a) those individuals who are duly elected members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation; and (b) those individuals who are duly elected members of an executive committee of any of the Seventh-day Adventist Unions enumerated in the Articles of Incorporation, including those persons who serve on the executive committee by virtue of their position. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a | The Membership of the filing organization shall elect the Board of Directors. However, Director seats that are not filled by the Membership or that otherwise become open between meetings of the Membership shall be considered vacant and shall be filled by a majority vote of the Directors then in office. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7b | The membership of the filing organization has certain reserved powers as set forth in the Bylaws of the filing organization. These reserved powers include the following: a) to approve an amendment, restatement, or repealing of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the filing organization. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b | The filing organization's current year Form 990 was reviewed by the Senior Vice President of Finance prior to its filing with the IRS. The review conducted did not include the review of any supporting workpapers that were used in preparation of the current year Form 990, but did include a review of the entire Form 990 and all supporting schedules. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | The Conflict of Interest Policy of the filing organization applies to members of its Board of Directors and its principal officers (to be known as Interested Persons). In connection with any actual or possible conflicts of interest, any member of the Board of Directors of the filing organization or any principal officer of the filing organization (i.e. Interested Persons) must disclose the existence of any financial interest with the filing organization and must be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts concerning the financial interest/arrangement to the Board of Directors of the filing organization or to any members of a committee with board delegated powers that is considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. Subsequent to any disclosure of any financial interest/arrangement and all material facts, and after any discussion with the relevant Board member or principal officer, the remaining members of the Board of Directors or committee with board delegated powers shall discuss, analyze, and vote upon the potential financial interest/arrangement to determine if a conflict of interest exists. According to the filing organization's Conflict of Interest Policy, an Interested Person may make a presentation to the Board of Directors (or committee with board delegated powers), but after such presentation, shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement that results in a conflict of interest.

| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 | Compensation and benefits provided to Adventist Health System Sunbelt Healthcare Corporation's (AHSSHC) CEO, CFO, other executive management and key employees are determined pursuant to policies, procedures, and processes that are designed to ensure compliance with the intermediate sanctions laws as set forth in IRC Section 4958. AHSSHC has taken steps to ensure that processes are in place to satisfy the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness standard as set forth in Treasury Regulation 53.4958-6 with respect to its active executive-level positions. The AHSSHC Board Compensation Committee (the Committee) serves as the governing body for all executive compensation matters. The Committee is composed of certain members of the Board of Directors (the Board) of AHSSHC. Voting members of the Committee include only individuals who serve on the Board as independent representatives, who hold no employment positions with AHSSHC and who do not have relationships with any of the individuals whose compensation is under their review that impacts their best independent judgment as fiduciaries of AHSSHC. The Committee's role is to review and approve all components of the executive compensation plan of AHSSHC. As an independent governing body with respect to executive compensation, it should be noted that the Committee will often confer in executive sessions on matters of compensation policy and policy changes. In such executive sessions, no members of management of AHSSHC are present. The Committee is advised by an independent third-party compensation advisor. This advisor prepares all the benchmark studies for the Committee. Compensation levels are benchmarked with a national peer group of other not-for-profit healthcare systems and hospitals of similar size and complexity to AdventHealth and each of its affiliated entities. The following principles guide the establishment of individual executive compensation: - The salary of the President/CEO of AdventHealth will not exceed the 50th percentile of comparable salaries paid by similarly situated organizations; and - Other executive salaries shall be established using market medians. The compensation philosophy, policies, and practices of AHSSHC are consistent with the organization's faith-based mission and conform to applicable laws, regulations, and business practices. As a faith-based organization sponsored by the Seventh-day Adventist Church (the Church), AHSSHC's philosophy and principles with respect to its executive compensation practices reflect the conservative approach of the Church's mission of service and were developed in counsel with the Church's leadership. |
