With a central mission of providing outstanding, accessible patient care, UPMC is shaping tomorrow's health care through clinical and technological innovation, research, and education. UPMC's Health Services Division encompasses a comprehensive array of clinical capabilities. This division includes academic, community, and regional hospitals; pre- and post-acute care capabilities; specialty service lines, such as transplantation services, women's health, behavioral health, pediatrics, cancer care, and rehabilitation services; contract services, such as emergency medicine, pharmacy, and laboratory; and more than 5,000 employed physicians with associated practices. UPMC's organ transplant center is one of the largest and busiest in the world, performing more than 20,000 transplants since 1981. The UPMC Hillman Cancer Center is one of the largest integrated community cancer networks in the United States with more than 70 centers in Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, and Maryland, and more than 2,000 physicians, researchers, and staff. UPMC's expertise in academic-based and specialized medical care, including transplantation and oncology, is key to the globalization efforts being undertaken through its International Division, which promotes the exchange of scientific knowledge worldwide, while generating revenue that is reinvested locally.

UPMC Group members provided services to the community through charitable donations, subsidized health and community programs, outreach programs, health screenings, educational classes, and volunteer services at a cost of over $428,000,000. UPMC Group also provided funding for research and health professions education in excess of $516,000,000.

The hospital provides specialized medical care to patients from the tri-state area and throughout the world. UPMC Presbyterian Shadyside is the academic hub of UPMC's inpatient provider services and the greater Pittsburgh region's largest inpatient acute care hospital. The mission of UPMC Presbyterian Shadyside is to provide premier programs in patient care, biomedical and health services research, and teaching and education that will contribute to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of human disease and disability. The UPMC Presbyterian Shadyside campuses are UPMC Presbyterian, UPMC Shadyside, Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic (WPIC), UPMC Montefiore, and the Eye and Ear Institute. UPMC Presbyterian including UPMC Montefiore is a 758-bed teaching hospital that has been providing health care since 1893. UPMC Shadyside is a 496-bed tertiary hospital that has been serving the residents of Pittsburgh and the tri-state area since 1866. Presbyterian Shadyside was honored to achieve Magnet status, which is one of the highest achievements a hospital can obtain in professional nursing, and demonstrates nursing excellence, a commitment to quality patient care, and a healthy work environment. UPMC Presbyterian Shadyside has leading programs in organ transplantation, oncology, cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery, critical care medicine and trauma services, neurosurgery, orthopedics, ophthalmology, and behavioral health, as well as other medical specialties. In 2019, UPMC announced its plan to build another tower consisting of 17 stories, 900,000 square feet and 636 beds. This addition will enable UPMC Presbyterian to increase its number of private rooms available to patients from 40% of total rooms to 100% total rooms. The patient care areas of the tower offer private rooms and flexible spaces with natural light throughout the glass exterior facade. Nearly one-fourth of the patient rooms in the tower are intensive care unit ICU rooms or innovative acuity-adaptable rooms. This allows for continuity throughout complex, critical care delivery by UPMC's expert physicians and care teams - with the patient experience and quality outcomes as the primary focus. The new floor plan and flow of the tower enhances the patient stay, connecting patients and families with the shared resources and expertise of UPMC. The universal patient unit supports all levels of acuity and provides the necessary services to support patients throughout their stay - from arrival to ICU, to units offering less intensive levels of care as the patient recovers, to discharge - all within the same floor treating those with similar conditions or a disease-specific unit. The clinical inpatient organizational approach focuses on condition management by floor. Through pioneering acuity-adaptable floors where the patient transitions through their care on the same unit, UPMC is limiting the need for patients to transfer from one unit and care team to another as they progress toward recovery. This is intended to improve outcomes through maintaining the continuity of care, as patients see the same staff and physicians from start to finish. This shift in the care model can reduce length of stay and improve outcomes, which ultimately can reduce health care costs. UPMC Presbyterian Shadyside treats all patients without regard to their ability to pay. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, the hospital admitted 38,787 patients, rendering 318,942 patient days.

In addition to the general corporate and Board policies described above, UPMC has also developed and implemented a separate tax questionnaire distributed to Officers, Directors, Trustees, and Key Employees annually that specifically addresses disclosure requirements of Form 990. Question 15a and b: To support UPMC's mission and as set forth in the UPMC Bylaws, the Board of Directors has formed an Executive Compensation Committee ("Committee") and delegated to it the responsibility for establishment and implementation of officer and key employee total compensation programs. As part of this responsibility the Committee reports regularly to the Board of Directors. With Board of Directors approval, the Committee has adopted a formal Charter, which includes the establishment of a compensation philosophy and related policies with respect to the total compensation paid by UPMC to its officers and key employees. The UPMC total compensation program for officers and key employees is predicated upon an incentive compensation component. This component is based upon the accomplishment of predetermined performance goals and objectives which focus on the achievement of multiple annual and three year individual and group performance criteria in the context of appropriate risk taking. These criteria directly support UPMC's mission and include: patient quality and satisfaction, community benefits, operational and financial strength, leadership development, and strategic business initiatives among others. The total compensation program is integrated with and reinforces the UPMC business planning cycle as well as management development and succession planning processes. It is the Committee's judgment that the structure of the total compensation program is vital to, and strongly supportive of, the high level of ongoing success of UPMC and fosters the retention of critical officer and key employee talent. The total compensation determination process utilized by the Committee is intended to satisfy the "rebuttable presumption of reasonableness" as set forth in the regulations to Section 4958 of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code"). This means that compensation programs and levels are approved in advance by the Committee which is composed entirely of outside Directors who do not have a conflict of interest, as defined by the relevant regulations, with respect to the compensation program and levels. The Committee obtains and relies upon a broad range of appropriate data as to comparability prior to making its determinations. The Committee then contemporaneously documents, in formal meeting minutes, the basis and reasons for its determinations. The total compensation program is designed and administered in accordance with the UPMC Bylaws, sound business practices, the tenets of common law business judgment and fiduciary responsibility as well as adherence to all relevant federal, state and local laws. In addition to Code Section 4958, as set forth above, this includes but is not limited to Code Section 501(c)(3) and the applicable regulations thereunder as well as all laws and regulations prohibiting private inurement, private benefit transactions and discrimination. Further, the Committee has identified and adopted, as appropriately modified for UPMC, compensation program "best practices" from the business world (e.g. Sarbanes Oxley, SEC, etc.). The Committee believes that while these practices are not required in the tax exempt sector, they are in the best interests of the organization and further support UPMC's nonprofit mission. In accordance with the above, determination of total compensation for the CEO is made exclusively by the Committee. Determination of total compensation for other officers and key employees is recommended by the CEO and subject to review and approval by the Committee. The Committee, which meets at least four times a year, obtains professional advice from its own experts, including accountants, executive compensation consultants and legal counsel. Question 16A and B: UPMC has a formal written policy pertaining to joint ventures between UPMC Tax-Exempt entities and taxable entities. The policy employs an internal procedure for review of all transactions involving potential participation in joint ventures and similar arrangements to ensure that such entities operate in accordance with applicable IRS policies and within UPMC's charitable purposes. arrangements to ensure that such entities operate in accordance with applicable IRS policies and within UPMC's charitable purposes. |
