| Form 990, Part III, line 3 | Rockingham Visiting Nurse Association and Hospice ("RVNA") is a not-for-profit health service provider which primarily serves residents of New Hampshire. RVNA is controlled through Exeter Health Resources, Inc. (Resources), a not-for-profit corporation which functions as the Parent Company to RVNA. Resources and Beth Israel Lahey Health signed a definitive agreement that established the terms under which Resources joined the Beth Israel Lahey Health system. Together, the organizations seek to enhance and expand local access to high-quality care in New Hampshire. This transaction was finalized and became effective July 1, 2023. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a (continued): | Ongoing Intiatives: Enhanced Access for MassHealth Patients - To mitigate barriers in access to care and increase the number of MassHealth patients that BILH serves, the system committed to universal network-wide provider participation in MassHealth. All BILH hospitals and providers employed by BILH or on whose behalf BILH jointly contracts participate in and/or have applied to participate in some form of MassHealth. In FY 2022, BILH signed a new MassHealth ACO contract with BMC HealthNet Plan / WellSense Health Plan that went into effect in April 2023. As part of this contract, BILHPN extended participation to all eligible primary care providers ("PCPs") who were not otherwise participating in a MassHealth ACO. Prior to that time, while all eligible BILHPN PCPs were participants in a form of MassHealth, some PCPs were not previously participating in a MassHealth ACO. - BILH has developed, refined and implemented a multicultural marketing, advertising, and outreach plan with the purpose of expanding access for underserved populations, including MassHealth patients, in targeted BILH service areas. Investments in Underserved Communities - BILH hospitals have created and maintain strong connections to a network of affiliated hospitals and health centers that provide community-based care to historically underserved populations. In the regions that they serve, the Safety Net Affiliates ("SNAs") and Community Care Alliance ("CCA") Community Health Centers ("CHCs") are the cornerstone of BILH's delivery system regarding community-based care for MassHealth and historically underserved patients. - CCA CHCs include Bowdoin Street Health Center, Charles River Community Health, The Dimock Center, Fenway Health, and South Cove Community Health Center. - SNAs include Cambridge Health Alliance and Signature Healthcare Brockton Hospital. - BILH continues to invest in the CCA CHCs and SNAs, enabling them to expand their capabilities and care for more historically underserved patients. In FY 2022, BILH invested over $8 million in its CHCs and SNAs, in addition to engaging in regional planning and collaborative program development. These investments represent only a portion of a much larger community benefits investment portfolio that is described in greater detail in this and other BILH network tax filings. - BILH continues to explore additional opportunities with CHCs in Essex and Middlesex Counties. For example, BILH has established a telehealth pilot program between physicians at Addison Gilbert and Beverly Hospitals and patients at North Shore Community Health Center. BILH Behavioral Health Services The Beth Israel Lahey Health Network (BILH) is committed to the behavioral health needs of the patients and communities serviced. Below are some of activities that BILH Behavioral Services (BILHBS) has provided to the patients and communities served by BILH and its affiliated entities. BILHBS (which includes the activities of BILH's tax-exempt affiliate Northeast Behavioral Health Corp) is the largest network of mental health and substance use disorder services in eastern Massachusetts. BILHBS' network of behavioral health care includes services for children and adults ranging from inpatient treatment to community-based programs. Services include: - Inpatient psychiatric and detoxification treatment; - Emergency psychiatric and mobile emergency services teams; - Outpatient mental health and addiction treatment; - Individual/couple/family therapy; - Medication assisted treatment programs; and - School-based and home-based counseling for youth and their families. BILHBS serves approximately 35,000 unduplicated individuals annually, offering a full continuum of care for children and adults. Services range from inpatient to home and community-based services. BILHBS operates over 250 beds in 9 facilities for clients requiring acute psychiatric care, detoxification and residential step-down services. During the period covered by this filing, community-based services included mobile emergency services teams in three catchment areas and home-based counseling for adults, youth and their families. BILHBS also provided services in 63 middle and high schools, as well as 9 police departments. Since its creation in March 2019, BILH has continued to invest significantly in improving access to behavioral health care through a system-wide approach to care delivery. As one of several ongoing initiatives, BILH has made a multi-year commitment to provide behavioral health support to its employed primary care practices using an evidence-based approach known as the IMPACT model. More than 75% of BILH employed primary care practices participated in this Collaborative Care Program implementation. BILHBS has a Centralized Bed Finding team that is responsible for conducting bed searches for patients seen through the Emergency Services Program and who are awaiting an inpatient psychiatric placement. This team directly increases the availability of clinicians to continue to see patients in the Emergency Department (ED) and the community who are experiencing a behavioral health and/or co-occurring substance use disorder crisis while other team members search for available inpatient placements. This initiative supports decreased response time to responding to new patients in crisis and reduces ED boarding time for patients who can be safely managed in the community. During the period covered by this filing, and in the area of addiction services, BILHBS serves approximately 17,000 individuals annually, providing over 380,000 units of service, in a vast array of settings based on their needs. BILH BS' ambulatory division serves nearly 4,300 patients every year, delivering more than 108,000 units of services in various settings. More than 43,000 were delivered by telehealth Ambulatory programs and services offered under the children's behavioral health initiative (CBHI) including a broad range of counseling and therapy as well as more intensive treatment modalities. All therapy programs are supported by medication clinics if that is determined to be an appropriate adjunct to treatment. In FY23, NBHC delivered 99,419 units of ambulatory services, supported by 8,432 psychopharmacology visits. BILH BS' emergency psychiatric and mobile response teams in Lawrence, Salem and Lowell are available around the clock, providing psychiatric assessments and supportive services in various settings. NBHC provides these services in conjunction with a large number of area hospitals, including facilities outside of the BILH umbrella. Mobile crisis clinicians also respond to schools, homes and outpatient clinics, and NBHC also provides walk-in services at the three team locations. In addition to emergency evaluation, team members provide ongoing crisis counseling until the patient is stable and relationships are established with longer-term care providers. The Lawrence and Salem locations also house 8-bed community crisis stabilization units, which offer short-term (3-5 day) crisis beds in lieu of hospitalization for MassHealth, Medicare, and uninsured clients. During the fiscal period covered by this filing, emergency service programs had 13,502 encounters, 1,895 of which were done remotely, and the CCS programs recorded 2,546 bed days. |

| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 | The organization's parent (Exeter Health Resources, Inc.) has a formal process for determining total compensation for the Chairman of Rockingham Visiting Nurse Association and Hospice (RVNA&H) and other listed officers that is intended to provide reasonable compensation for achieving the organization's mission, to recognize individual and team performance and to comply with the organization's obligations as a tax-exempt charitable organization. The Executive Committee of the Exeter Health Resources, Inc.'s Board of Trustees conducts an annual review of the compensation of the Chairman of RVNA&H and other listed officers. In doing so, the Committee retains a qualified independent compensation consultant to conduct competitive market analysis of the market ranges of base, incentive, and total cash compensation, and to provide advice concerning the reasonableness of the compensation of the Chairman and other listed officers. The Committee utilizes that analysis and other appropriate information in connection with its annual review and makes recommendations to the full Board of Exeter Health Resources, Inc. for adjustment of the Chairman's compensation and the compensation for other listed officers. Information which the Committee may consider can include but is not limited to the performance of an individual and/or that individual's contributions to a team, the performance of the organization in whole and in part, the elements of total compensation and salary history, the organization's compensation targets and comparability data, including the data prepared by the independent consultant and reviewed with the Committee. The Committee incorporates a performance appraisal process in the Chairman's, other listed officers', and key employees' compensation review. The Chairman and other listed officers are not present when the Committee discusses their respective compensation. In addition, the Committee determines if the threshold requirements for incentive awards are met, consisting of the organization's performance results for quality, operating system excellence and financial performance. The results of the Committee's deliberations are presented to the Exeter Health Resources, Inc. Board and include recommendations concerning salary range adjustments and incentive awards and the basis for the Committee's decisions/ recommendations. The deliberations of the Exeter Health Resources, Inc. Board are conducted in executive session with the independent members of the Board but do include the Chairman only for that period of time in which the Exeter Health Resources, Inc. Board has questions concerning the performance of any listed officer or key employee other than the Chairman. The Exeter Health Resources, Inc. Board reviews the Chairman's performance and determines if the adjustments and awards recommended by the Committee for the Chairman are in the organization's best interest and for the benefit of the organization and the parent organization. For the other listed officer positions, adjustments and incentive awards are approved upon recommendation of the Chairman by the Executive Committee within the Exeter Health Resources, Inc. Board approved parameters and ratified by the Exeter Health Resources, Inc. Board of Trustees. For the Executive Director of Rockingham Visiting Nurse Association and Hospice, compensation is determined by consulting with the organization's parent Human Resources department. Comparison compensation surveys and external benchmarks are used in the process. |

| Form 990, Part XII, Line 2c: | The Organization is part of the consolidated operations of Exeter Health Resources, Inc. The Exeter Health Resources, Inc. ("Resources") Executive Committee is responsible for the oversight of the audit and the selection of an independent accountant. Furthermore, pursuant to an affiliation agreement between Resources and Beth Israel Lahey Health, key members of the various Beth Israel executive teams and audit and finance committees may also provide review and oversight over the Resources audit procedures. During the year ending September 30, 2023, Resources and Beth Israel Lahey Health signed a definitive agreement that established the terms under which Resources joined the Beth Israel Lahey Health system. For financial reporting of the Organization, the affiliation was accounted for as an acquisition and "push down" accounting was required to be applied, with the result that acquisition accounting adjustments have been reflected in the Organization's financial statements. The application of "push down" accounting resulted in a new basis of accounting for property, plant and equipment based on the assets' fair value at the date of affiliation. Accordingly, the Organization's audited financial statements refer to RVNA in the period prior to the affiliation as "Predecessor and in the period subsequent to the affiliation as "Successor." The 2023 Predecessor period represents the nine-month period ending June 30, 2023 prior to push-down accounting adjustments, and the 2023 Successor period represents the three-month period ending September 30, 2023 subsequent to push-down accounting adjustments. As of July 1, 2023, Beth Israel Lahey Health (BILH) became the sole Member of Exeter Health Resources, Inc. (EHRI) which in turns serves as the sole Member of RVNA and other affiliates of EHRI.
