Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote SUMMA AND MOST OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES ARE NOT-FOR-PROFIT CORPORATIONS AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE (THE CODE) AND ARE EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES PURSUANT TO SECTION 501(A) OF THE CODE. SUMMA ALSO HAS CERTAIN SUBSIDIARIES THAT ARE TAXABLE FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES. SC, TOGETHER WITH AFFILIATES OF SHSC, FILES A CONSOLIDATED FEDERAL INCOME TAX RETURN IN ACCORDANCE WITH A TAX-SHARING AGREEMENT DATED JANUARY 1, 2010. THE ENTITIES UTILIZE A CONSOLIDATED APPROACH TO THE ALLOCATION OF FEDERAL INCOME TAXES, WHEREAS SHSC'S TAX-SHARING AGREEMENT WITH ITS SUBSIDIARIES ALLOWS IT TO MAKE CERTAIN CODE ELECTIONS IN ITS CONSOLIDATED FEDERAL TAX RETURN. IN THE EVENT SUCH CODE ELECTIONS ARE MADE, ANY BENEFIT OR LIABILITY IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF SHSC AND IS ACCRUED AND PAID BY THE PARTICIPATING SUBSIDIARIES. SC IS NOT SUBJECT TO STATE INCOME TAXES AS IT IS LICENSED AS A HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANY UNDER CHAPTER 1751 OF THE OHIO REVISED CODE. DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES ARE RECOGNIZED FOR THE FUTURE TAX CONSEQUENCES ATTRIBUTABLE TO DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT CARRYING AMOUNTS OF EXISTING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES AND THE RESPECTIVE TAX BASIS AND OPERATING LOSS AND TAX CREDIT CARRYFORWARDS. DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES ARE MEASURED USING ENACTED TAX RATES EXPECTED TO APPLY TO TAXABLE INCOME IN THE YEARS IN WHICH THOSE TEMPORARY DIFFERENCES ARE EXPECTED TO BE RECOVERED OR SETTLED. THE EFFECT ON DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF A CHANGE IN TAX RATES IS RECOGNIZED IN INCOME IN THE PERIOD THAT INCLUDES THE ENACTMENT DATE.

Form and Line Reference Explanation
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 5 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - SUMMA HEALTH SYSTEM. IN 2022 SUMMA HEALTH PARTNERED WITH SUMMIT COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH (SCPH) AND THE SUMMIT COALITION FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT (SCCHI) TO CONDUCT THE 2022 CHNA. DURING THE PROCESS, OVER 250 INDICATORS WERE REVIEWED, AND COMMUNITY LEADERS AND RESIDENTS WERE CONSULTED. THE 2022 CHNA WAS COMPLETED USING THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COUNTY AND CITY HEALTH OFFICIALS (NACCHO) MODIFIED-MOBILIZING ACTION THROUGH PARTNERSHIP AND PLANNING (MAPP) PROCESS. THIS PROCESS WAS FACILITATED BY SCPH AND CONDUCTED WITH THE SCCHI. SCCHI IS A 40+ MEMBER COLLABORATIVE WITH THE MISSION OF IDENTIFYING KEY HEALTH PRIORITIES IN SUMMIT COUNTY AND COORDINATING ACTION TO IMPROVE POPULATION HEALTH AND PROMOTE HEALTH EQUITY FOR ALL. THESE COMMUNITY LEADERS PROVIDE A PERSPECTIVE ON THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE GROUPS SERVED BY THE HOSPITAL FACILITY, INCLUDING THE MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED, LOW-INCOME PERSONS, MINORITY GROUPS. SCPH EPIDEMIOLOGY GATHERED DATA FROM A VARIETY OF SOURCES INCLUDING COUNTY HEALTH RANKINGS, AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY, AND COMMUNITY HEALTH STATUS INDICATORS. SCPH ALSO UTILIZED THE 2018 YOUTH RISK BEHAVIORAL SURVEY, THE OHIO DEPARTMENTS OF HEALTH BIRTH AND DEATH DATA, AND EPICENTER. QUALITATIVE DATA COLLECTED THROUGH SURVEYS, FOCUS GROUPS AND COMMUNITY MEETINGS WERE ALSO UTILIZED TO GATHER INFORMATION ABOUT HOW SUMMIT COUNTY LEADERS AND RESIDENTS EXPERIENCE THE HEALTH OUTCOMES AND COMMUNITY CONDITIONS THAT AFFECT QUALITY OF LIFE. THIS INFORMATION CAN PROVIDE ADDITIONAL CONTEXT TO QUANTITATIVE DATA AND HEALTH TO STRATEGICALLY INFORM IMPROVEMENTS. SCCHI AND SCPH ALSO COMPLETED TWO QUALITATIVE MAPP ASSESSMENTS: COMMUNITY THEMES, STRENGTHS, AND THE FORCES OF CHANGE. FOCUS GROUPS AND SURVEYS WERE CONDUCTED AND DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY IN 2022 TO IDENTIFY BARRIERS AND OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH THE LENS OF THE COMMUNITY MEMBER. LEADERS FROM THE FOLLOWING COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS WERE CONSULTED DURING THIS CHNA: AETNA AKRON AREA YMCA AKRON CANTON REGIONAL FOODBANK AKRON CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL AKRON COMMUNITY FOUNDATION AKRON METROPOLITAN AREA TRANSPORTATION STUDY AKRON METROPOLITAN HOUSING AUTHORITY AKRON PUBLIC SCHOOLS AKRON REGION INTERPROFESSIONAL AREA HEALTH EDUCATION CENTER AKRON SUMMIT COMMUNITY ACTION, INC AKRON SUMMIT COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY AKRON ZOO ALZHEIMER'S ASSOCIATION SUMMA HEALTH GROUP RETURN 90-0640432 AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION ASIAN SERVICES IN ACTION, INC AXESSPOINTE COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER BABY 1ST NETWORK BLACK HEALTH COALITION CHC ADDICTION CHILD GUIDANCE AND FAMILY SOLUTIONS CITY OF AKRON CITY OF TALLMADGE CHOICES CLEVELAND CLINIC AKRON GENERAL COMMUNITY LEGAL AID COUNTY OF SUMMIT COUNTY OF SUMMIT ALCOHOL DRUG ADDICTION AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES BOARD FAIR HOUSING AKRON GREATER AKRON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE GREEN LEAF CENTER HOPE HEALING HAVEN OF REST MINISTRIES HUMILITY OF MARY HOUSING PROGRAM INFOLINE, INC INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE OF AKRON LET'S GROW AKRON LOVE AKRONMATURE SERVICES MHA ADVOCACY MUSTARD SEED MARKET AND CAF NORTHEAST OHIO MEDICAL UNIVERSITY OHIO GUIDESTONE OPEN M MINISTRIES PLANNED PARENTHOOD OF GREATER OHIO PROJECT LEARN OF SUMMIT COUNTY SIDS OHIO STARK STATE UNIVERSITY SUMMIT COUNTY DD BOARD SUMMIT COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH SUMMIT EDUCATION INITIATIVE SUMMIT METRO PARKS THE BLICK CENTER UHCAN OHIO UNITED WAY OF SUMMIT COUNTY UNIVERSITY OF AKRON ADDITIONAL DETAIL CAN BE FOUND ON THE SUMMA HEALTH WEBSITE AT https://www.summahealth.org/about-us/about-summa/community-benefit-and-diversity/communityneedsassessments

Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 6b Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - SUMMA HEALTH SYSTEM. SUMMIT COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH SUMMIT COALITION FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - SUMMA HEALTH SYSTEM. IN 2022 SUMMA HEALTH PARTNERED WITH SUMMIT COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH (SCPH) AND THE SUMMIT COALITION FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT (SCCHI) TO CONDUCT THE 2022 CHNA THAT WAS APPROVED BY THE SUMMA HEALTH BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON OCTOBER 27, 2022. DURING THIS PROCESS OVER 200 INDICATORS WERE REVIEWED, COMMUNITY LEADERS AND RESIDENTS WERE CONSULTED, AND SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS WERE IDENTIFIED USING THE MAPP PROCESS. IN COLLABORATION WITH SUMMA'S INTERNAL LEADERSHIP AND DEPARTMENTS, ASSISTANCE FROM MEMBERS OF THE SUMMA CEC AND MANY EXTERNAL PARTNERS, SUMMA'S PRIORITIZATION PROCESS INCLUDED REVIEW OF THE DATA FINDINGS, BURDEN SCOPE AND URGENCY OF THE HEALTH NEED, THE FEASIBILITY OF INTERVENING, THE HOSPITAL'S STRATEGIC PRIORITIES, FINANCIAL AND HUMAN RESOURCES, PARTER ACTIVITY, AND THE LOCAL AND STATE HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLANS. THE OUTCOME OF THE 2022 CHNA EFFORTS AS DETERMINED BY CAREFUL ANALYSIS OF BOTH THE EPIDEMIOLOGICAL AND QUALITATIVE DATA, YIELDED THE FOLLOWING PRIORITIES: ACCESS AND BARRIERS TO HEALTH CARE, CHRONIC DISEASE PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT, HEALTH EQUITY, MENTAL HEALTH AND ADDICTION AND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. THE PRIORITIES ARE IN ALIGNMENT WITH CURRENT COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED BY THE SUMMIT COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH 2022 COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT AND THE OHIO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH'S 2019 STATE HEALTH ASSESSMENT AND THE 2020-2022 STATE HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN, WHICH WAS THE MOST CURRENT PLAN AVAILABLE. SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS ADDRESSED: CHNA HEALTH PRIORITY: ACCESS AND BARRIERS TO HEALTH CARE: ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE IS A BROAD TERM USED TO DESCRIBE THE AVAILABILITY, ACCEPTABILITY, AFFORDABILITY AND ACCESSIBILITY OF HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS AND PROVIDERS. ADULTS WITH POOR ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE, OR WHO FACE BARRIERS TO CARE, HAVE A HARDER TIME GETTING PREVENTATIVE SERVICES OR MEDICATION. ACCESS TO CLINICAL CARE ACCOUNTS FOR 20% OF A PERSON'S HEALTH STATUS ACCORDING TO THE WISCONSIN COUNTY HEALTH RANKINGS MODEL. BOTH ACCESS TO CARE AND THE QUALITY OF THAT CARE HAVE AFFECTED THE HEALTH OF SUMMIT COUNTY. EVEN AFTER THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ACA, 8% OF ADULTS AND 3% OF CHILDREN STILL DO NOT HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE. HAVING HEALTH INSURANCE IS ONLY ONE PART OF THE HEALTH ACCESS PICTURE, HOWEVER. HAVING ACCESS TO A PROVIDER WHEN THEY ARE NEEDED ALSO IS IMPORTANT. RATIOS OF PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS, MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS AND DENTISTS TO POPULATION ALL SHOWED MEANINGFUL IMPROVEMENT SINCE THE 2019 CHNA. LANGUAGE BARRIERS ALSO IMPACT HEALTH CARE ACCESS. THE RECENT INFLUX OF IMMIGRANT AND PARTICULARLY REFUGEE POPULATIONS FROM AROUND THE WORLD HAS CREATED CHALLENGES TO HEALTH CARE ACCESS. FOR EXAMPLE, THE PERCENTAGE OF THOSE AGE 5 AND OLDER WHO ARE LINGUISTICALLY ISOLATED (SPEAK ENGLISH LESS THAN VERY WELL AS WELL AS A LANGUAGE OTHER THAN ENGLISH IN THE HOME) INCREASED SHARPLY BETWEEN 2015 AND 2019. AT THE TIME OF THE 2019 CHNA, ONLY 59% OF FEMALE MEDICARE PATIENTS RECEIVE MAMMOGRAPHY SCREENING. THAT PERCENTAGE HAS NOW DECREASED TO JUST 43%. LOW RATES OF ELIGIBLE WOMEN RECEIVING ROUTINE MAMMOGRAMS COULD MEAN THAT MANY WOMEN WITH CANCER WILL NOT RECEIVE A DIAGNOSIS OF BREAST CANCER UNTIL THAT CANCER IS IN ITS LATER STAGES. PREVENTIVE DENTAL HEALTH SCREENINGS ARE ALSO LOW, WITH LESS THAN TWO-THIRDS OF ADULTS, MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS, AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS SAYING THEY HAVE VISITED A DENTIST IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS. GOAL: IMPROVE ACCESS AND REDUCE BARRIERS TO QUALITY HEALTHCARE FOR THE RESIDENTS OF SUMMIT COUNTY. THE HEALTH NEEDS PERTAINING TO ACCESS ARE BEING ADDRESSED BY INCORPORATING COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS IN COMMUNITY BASED SETTINGS AND INCREASING THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE ACCESS TO PRIMARY CARE MEDICAL HOMES AND COMPREHENSIVE PRIMARY CARE PLUS PRACTICES THEREBY INCREASING THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PREVENTATIVE AND EARLY INTERVENTIONS FOR INDIVIDUALS REQUIRING PRIMARY CARE, DENTAL, AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROVIDERS. EXPECTED OUTCOME (S): INCREASED USE OF HEALTHCARE SERVICES REDUCED BARRIERS TO ACCESSING CARE INCREASED ACCESS TO SCREENINGS CHNA HEALTH PRIORITY: CHRONIC DISEASE PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT: CHRONIC DISEASES ARE DISEASES THAT A PERSON HAS FOR A LONG TIME, SOMETIMES INDEFINITELY. PEOPLE WITH CHRONIC DISEASES USUALLY NEED TO SEE THEIR DOCTORS ON A REGULAR BASIS TO MONITOR THE PROGRESSION OF THEIR DISEASE TO GET TREATMENT. DEATH RATES FROM A FEW OF THE MORE COMMON CHRONIC DISEASES EITHER STAYED THE SAME OR SLIGHTLY DECREASED SINCE THE 2019 CHNA, INCLUDING BREAST, COLORECTAL CANCER, STROKE, AND CHRONIC LOWER RESPIRATORY DISEASE. THE STABILIZATION AND/OR IMPROVEMENT OF CANCER DEATH RATES FOR BREAST AND COLORECTAL CANCER IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT, AS THESE ARE CANCERS THAT ARE MORE READILY DETECTED THROUGH EARLY SCREENING. DEATH RATES FROM ALL CANCER TYPES COMBINED DECREASED BY ABOUT 2%. DEATHS FROM CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE AND PROSTATE CANCER INCREASED, AS DID DEATH RATES FROM HEART DISEASE AND ALZHEIMER'S/DEMENTIA. OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, THE BEHAVIORAL RISK FACTOR SURVEILLANCE SURVEY (BRFSS) HAS SHOWN THAT NEARLY TWO-THIRDS OF THE ADULT POPULATION IS EITHER OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE, AND ABOUT ONE-THIRD OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS HAVE REPORTED BEING TOLD THEY HAVE EITHER HIGH CHOLESTEROL OR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE. IN ADDITION, ABOUT ONE-QUARTER OF ADULTS SAY THEY SMOKE, AND ANOTHER QUARTER SAY THEY ARE NOT PHYSICALLY ACTIVE. ALL OF THESE BEHAVIORS HAVE EITHER STAYED THE SAME OR INCREASED OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, DESPITE SOLID EVIDENCE THAT THEY INCREASE CHRONIC DISEASE RATES. SEVERAL EXTERNAL CAUSES OF DEATH ALSO HAVE INCREASED (DEATHS NOT CAUSED BY DISEASE OR OTHER NATURAL CAUSES). IN ADDITION TO DRUG OVERDOSE DEATHS, OTHER KINDS OF ACCIDENTAL DEATHS (AUTO ACCIDENTS AND FALLS BEING THE MOST COMMON) HAVE INCREASED 36% SINCE 2019. FIREARM-RELATED HOMICIDES ALSO ARE UP 37% SINCE THE 2019 CHNA. FALL-RELATED DEATHS AMONG SENIORS, AND BOTH TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS RESULTING FROM AND DEATHS FROM TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY HAVE INCREASED FOR SENIORS SINCE 2018. GOAL: REDUCE CHRONIC DISEASE AND PROMOTE WELLBEING FOR THE RESIDENTS OF SUMMIT COUNTY. THE HEALTH NEEDS PERTAINING TO CHRONIC DISEASE ARE BEING ADDRESSED THROUGH INCREASING CONSUMER KNOWLEDGE BASE OF RISK FACTORS, RISK BEHAVIORS, AND GENETIC CONSIDERATIONS WHICH LEAD TO CANCER, CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE AND DIABETES AND PROVIDING EVIDENCED BASED LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION PROGRAMS. EXPECTED OUTCOME (S): DECREASE RATES OF CHRONIC DISEASE IN ADULTS. DECREASE SMOKING, TOBACCO AND VAPING USE IN ADULTS. REDUCE INCIDENCE OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE IN SUMMIT COUNTY. REDUCE INCIDENCE OF CANCER IN SUMMIT COUNTY. REDUCE INCIDENCE OF DIABETES IN SUMMIT COUNTY. CHNA HEALTH PRIORITY: HEALTH EQUITY THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION DEFINE HEALTH EQUITY AS A STATE IN WHICH EVERYONE HAS A FAIR AND JUST OPPORTUNITY TO ATTAIN THEIR HIGHEST LEVEL OF HEALTH. HEALTH EQUITY IS FOCUSED ON CREATING BETTER OPPORTUNITIES FOR HEALTH AND GIVING SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE NEEDS OF THOSE AT THE GREATEST RISK FOR POOR HEALTH. ACHIEVING HEALTH EQUITY WILL REQUIRE FOCUSED AND ONGOING SOCIETAL EFFORTS TO CHANGE THE SYSTEMS AND POLICIES THAT HAVE RESULTED IN THE GENERATIONAL INJUSTICES THAT CONTRIBUTE TO RACIAL AND ETHNIC HEALTH DISPARITIES. IN THE SUMMER OF 2020, BOTH SUMMIT COUNTY COUNCIL AND THE CITY OF AKRON FORMALLY DECLARED RACISM AS A PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS AND ARE TAKING STEPS TOWARDS ALLOCATING RESOURCES AND IMPLEMENTING CHANGE THROUGH STRATEGIC ACTION. THE PASSING OF THESE RESOLUTIONS, AND THE CONCRETE STEPS THAT HAVE FOLLOWED AFTER THE PASSAGE, DEMONSTRATES THAT SUMMIT COUNTY ALONG WITH OVER 250 OTHER COUNTIES, CITIES AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES ARE COMMITTED TO OPPOSING AND DISMANTLING RACISM AND PURSUING EQUITY, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION. IN JUNE OF 2020, SUMMA MADE A PROMISE TO NOT ONLY ACKNOWLEDGE RACISM AS A PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS, BUT TO TAKE SWIFT ACTION IN ADDRESSING THIS TOPIC WITH RESOURCES, EDUCATION AND TANGIBLE COMMITMENTS. THE SUMMA STANDS WITH OUR COMMUNITY ACTION PLAN WAS CREATED THAT PROMOTES DIVERSITY, REDUCING HEALTH DISPARITIES AND EDUCATING STAFF, AS WELL AS AN EVALUATION METRIC TO TRACK THE PROGRESS.
Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 11 Facility , 2 Facility , 2 - SUMMA HEALTH SYSTEM (continued). GOAL: REDUCE HEALTH DISPARITIES AND ADVANCE HEALTH EQUITY FOR THE RESIDENTS OF SUMMIT COUNTY. THE HEALTH NEEDS PERTAINING TO ADVANCING HEALTH EQUITY IS BEING ADDRESSED BY UTILIZING CHW'S IN COMMUNITY-BASED SETTINGS AT THE SUMMA CENTER FOR HEALTH EQUITY TO ADDRESS SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. COORDINATING CARE OF LGBTQ AND COMPLEX CARE PATIENTS THROUGH SPECIALIZED CLINICS. REDUCING INFANT MORTALITY BY PROVIDING PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT PROVIDE OUTREACH, EDUCATION, COORDINATION AND FOCUS ON REDUCING THE IMPACTS OF THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH FOR LOW INCOME MOTHERS. ADVANCING DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION (DEI) THROUGH THE SUMMA STANDS WITH OUR COMMUNITY PLAN FOCUS AREAS AND ANALYZE IMPACT UTILIZING THE DEI SCORECARD. EXPECTED OUTCOME (S): IMPROVE ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE AND CARE COORDINATION TO THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY. IMPROVE CARE COORDINATION BY UTILIZING COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS (CHW). REDUCE INFANT MORTALITY. REDUCE PRETERM BIRTHS AND LOW BIRTH-WEIGHT BIRTHS IN SUMMIT COUNTY. CHNA HEALTH PRIORITY: MENTAL HEALTH AND ADDICTION THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC BROUGHT NEW CHALLENGES TO MENTAL HEALTH AND ADDICTION SERVICES AS LOCKDOWNS, JOB LOSS AND SOCIAL ISOLATION FED DEPRESSION, SUICIDE AND OVERDOSE RATES. AN EMERGENCY SHIFT IN POLICY REGARDING MEDICAID REIMBURSEMENT OPENED UP OPPORTUNITIES TO USE TELEMEDICINE FOR MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES. WHILE SHORT STAFFING IS NOT A NEW ISSUE TO CLINICAL FIELDS, THE PANDEMIC CREATED ADDITIONAL STAFFING CHALLENGES AT THE SAME TIME AS THE RISE IN DEMAND FOR SERVICES. VARIOUS STRATEGIES HAVE BEEN PUT IN PLACE TO INCREASE PROVIDER CAPACITY THROUGH RECRUITMENT METHODS, SHIFTS IN PRIORITIES, AND NEW WAYS TO MEET THE COMMUNITY'S NEEDS SUCH AS TELEHEALTH. MANY LOCAL AGENCIES REPORTED INCREASED SHOW-RATES AND ENGAGEMENT WITH THE ADDITIONOF TELEHEALTH OPTIONS, WHICH IS LEADING TO THE POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OF INNOVATIVE STRATEGIES TO INCORPORATE THESE METHODS LONG-TERM. UNFORTUNATELY, NOT ALL WHO SUFFER FROM DEPRESSION AND SUICIDAL IDEATION RECEIVE THE HELP THEY NEEDIN TIME. WHILE THE OVERALL TOTAL OF CONFIRMED COMPLETED SUICIDES AVERAGES THE SAME FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, THE COUNTY OF SUMMIT ALCOHOL, DRUG ADDICTION AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES BOARD HAS REPORTED A RISE IN SUICIDE RATES FOR BLACK MALES. THIS IS FOLLOWING MUCH THE SAME LINES AS THE RISE IN OVERDOSES FOR THIS DEMOGRAPHIC. COMMUNITY-BASED AGENCIES AND COMBINED PROFESSIONAL, PEER AND FAITH-BASED COALITIONS ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO HELP PROVIDE RESOURCES AND HELP TO THOSE WHO NEED IT MOST. THIS INCLUDES ORGANIZATIONAL POLICIES WORKING TOWARD DIVERSE AND EQUITABLE ACCESS TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE FOR SEVERAL POPULATIONS IN SUMMIT COUNTY INCLUDING SOME SPECIFIC TO BLACK INDIVIDUALS, LGBTQ+ AND LOCAL REFUGEE COMMUNITIES. NATIONWIDE, ILLICIT DRUG USE HAS IMPLICATIONS ACROSS MORE THAN THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THE COMMUNITY. ACCORDING TO THE OFFICE OF THE U.S. SURGEON GENERAL, THE ESTIMATED ANNUAL ECONOMIC IMPACT OF ALCOHOL MISUSE IS $249 BILLION, AND FOR ILLICIT DRUG USE $193 BILLION. NOT ONLY HAS OHIO BEEN ONE OF THE HARDEST-HIT STATES IN THE COUNTRY IN TERMS OF OVERDOSES AND OVERDOSE RELATED DEATHS, BUT SUMMIT COUNTY SPECIFICALLY HAS BEEN HEAVILY IMPACTED. GOAL: PROMOTE MENTAL WELLBEING AND PREVENT ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRUG DEPENDENCE FOR RESIDENTS OF SUMMIT COUNTY. THE HEALTH NEEDS PERTAINING TO SUBSTANCE ABUSE ARE BEING ADDRESSED BY DECREASING ALCOHOL AND OPIATE RELATED OVERDOSES AND DEATHS THROUGH CARE COORDINATION AND EVIDENCE BASED PROGRAMS. EXPECTED OUTCOME (S): REDUCE INCIDENCE OF SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS, OVERDOSES, AND DEATHS INCREASED KNOWLEDGE AND AWARENESS OF MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES INCREASED REFERRALS FOR MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES IMPROVED ACCESS FOR MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES. CHNA HEALTH PRIORITY: SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH (SDOH) THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH (SDOH) ARE THE CONDITIONS IN THE ENVIRONMENT WHERE PEOPLE ARE BORN, LIVE, WORK, PLAY AND AGE THAT AFFECT A WIDE RANGE OF HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE OUTCOMES. SDOH INCLUDE FACTORS SUCH AS EDUCATION, EMPLOYMENT AND INCOME MAKE UP THE LARGEST SINGLE SHARE OF INDIVIDUAL HEALTH, 50% IN THE COUNTY HEALTH RANKINGS MODEL. UNFORTUNATELY, THE RECESSION OF 2007-2009 HAS CONTINUED TO HAVE A HUGE IMPACT ON THE SOCIOECONOMIC LANDSCAPE IN SUMMIT COUNTY MORE THAN A DECADE LATER. THE ECONOMIC UPHEAVAL CAUSED BY COVID-19 HAS ONLY AGGRAVATED THE LONG-TERM ECONOMIC RECOVERY OF SUMMIT COUNTY. THESE FACTORS ARE IMPORTANT TO ADDRESS BECAUSE ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE IS NECESSARY, BUT NOT SUFFICIENT, FOR GOOD HEALTH. AN ESTIMATED 80% OF THE MODIFIABLE FACTORS THAT AFFECT OVERALL HEALTH ARE ATTRIBUTED TO COMMUNITY CONDITIONS AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE HEALTHY CHOICES. GOAL: ENHANCE POPULATION HEALTH BY ADDRESSING THE SDOH FOR THE RESIDENTS OF SUMMIT COUNTY. THE HEALTH NEEDS PERTAINING TO ADDRESSING THE SDOH IS THROUGH UTILIZING THE EPIC PLATFORM, CARE COORIDNATION, CAREER EDUCATION, WORKFORCE PROGRAMS, AND EXPANDING PROGRAMS THAT LEVERAGE COMMUNITY PARNTERS TO ADDRESS SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. EXPECTED OUTCOME (S): IMPROVE HEALTH STATUS. REDUCE PREMATURE DEATH. INCREASE EDUCATIONAL AND EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES. SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS NOT ADDRESSED: SUMMA RECOGNIZES THAT NO HOSPITAL FACILITY CAN ADDRESS ALL OF THE HEALTH NEEDS PRESENT IN ITS COMMUNITY. INJURIES, ACCIDENTS, AFFORDABLE HOUSING, VIOLENCE AND CRIME WILL NOT BE ADDRESSED DIRECTLY THROUGH OUR PLAN. REASONS FOR NOT TARGETING THESE AREAS INCLUDE THEY ARE ADDRESSED DURING CLINCIAL VISITS, GO BEYOND THE CURRENT SCOPE OF THE HOSPITAL, RESOURCE CONSTRAINTS, AVAILABLE EXPERTISE, OR BEING MORE APPRORIATE FOR OTHER COMMUNITY AGENCIES TO ADDRESS. ALTHOUGH THESE HEALTH NEEDS WILL NOT BE DIRECTLY ADDRESSED THROUGH OUR PLAN, SUMMA WILL CONSIDER THEM WHILE IMPLEMENTING THE STRATEGIES OUTLINED ABOVE. IN ADDITION, SUMMA WILL, LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO COLLABORATE WITH SAFE COMMUNITIES OF SUMMIT COUNTY, SUMMIT COUNTY SAFE KIDS COALITION, YOUTH VIOLENCE PREVENTION TASK-FORCE, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATIONS, LOCAL SERVICES AGENCIES AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO ADDRESS THESE IMPORTANT HEALTH ISSUES WHENEVER POSSIBLE. POOR HEALTH STATUS CAN RESULT THROUGH A COMPLEX INTERACTION OF CHALLENGING SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL FACTORS, COMBINED WITH LACK OF ACCESS TO CARE. ADDRESSING THE MORE COMMON "ROOT" CAUSES OF POOR COMMUNITY HEALTH CAN SERVE TO IMPROVE A COMMUNITY'S QUALITY OF LIFE AND TO REDUCE MORTALITY AND MORBIDITY. HOWEVER, SUMMA RECOGNIZES THAT NO HOSPITAL FACILITY CAN ADDRESS ALL OF THE ROOT CAUSES AND HEALTH NEEDS PRESENT IN ITS COMMUNITY. THE PLAN IS ALSO IN ALIGNMENT WITH CURRENT COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS AND PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED BY THE SUMMIT COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH 2022 COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT AND THE OHIO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH'S 2023-2025 STATE HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN.

Schedule H, Part V, Section B, Line 5 Facility , 1 Facility , 1 - SUMMA REHABILITATION HOSPITAL. IN 2022 SUMMA HEALTH PARTNERED WITH SUMMIT COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH (SCPH) AND THE SUMMIT COALITION FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT (SCCHI) TO CONDUCT THE 2022 CHNA. DURING THE PROCESS, OVER 250 INDICATORS WERE REVIEWED, AND COMMUNITY LEADERS AND RESIDENTS WERE CONSULTED. THE 2022 CHNA WAS COMPLETED USING THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COUNTY AND CITY HEALTH OFFICIALS (NACCHO) MODIFIED-MOBILIZING ACTION THROUGH PARTNERSHIP AND PLANNING (MAPP) PROCESS.

THESE COMMUNITY LEADERS PROVIDE A PERSPECTIVE ON THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE GROUPS SERVED BY THE HOSPITAL FACILITY, INCLUDING THE MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED, LOW-INCOME PERSONS, MINORITY GROUPS. SCPH EPIDEMIOLOGY GATHERED DATA FROM A VARIETY OF SOURCES INCLUDING COUNTY HEALTH RANKINGS, AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY, AND COMMUNITY HEALTH STATUS INDICATORS. SCPH ALSO UTILIZED THE 2018 YOUTH RISK BEHAVIORAL SURVEY, THE OHIO DEPARTMENTS OF HEALTH BIRTH AND DEATH DATA, AND EPICENTER. QUALITATIVE DATA COLLECTED THROUGH SURVEYS, FOCUS GROUPS AND COMMUNITY MEETINGS WERE ALSO UTILIZED TO GATHER INFORMATION ABOUT HOW SUMMIT COUNTY LEADERS AND RESIDENTS EXPERIENCE THE HEALTH OUTCOMES AND COMMUNITY CONDITIONS THAT AFFECT QUALITY OF LIFE. THIS INFORMATION CAN PROVIDE ADDITIONAL CONTEXT TO QUANTITATIVE DATA AND HEALTH TO STRATEGICALLY INFORM IMPROVEMENTS. SCCHI AND SCPH ALSO COMPLETED TWO QUALITATIVE MAPP ASSESSMENTS: COMMUNITY THEMES, STRENGTHS, AND THE FORCES OF CHANGE. FOCUS GROUPS AND SURVEYS WERE CONDUCTED AND DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY IN 2022 TO IDENTIFY BARRIERS AND OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH THE LENS OF THE COMMUNITY MEMBER.

DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE ADULT REHABILITATION SPECIALTY SERVICES PROVIDED BY SUMMA REHAB HOSPITAL, LLC, ("HOSPITAL") THE IDENTIFIED HEALTH NEED IN WHICH THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS IN THIS IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR THE GREATEST IMPACT IS ACCESS. THE COMMUNITY RESOURCES PROVIDED BY A VARIETY OF INSTITUTIONS INCLUDING SUMMA AKRON AND BARBERTON CAMPUS, LED TO THE DETERMINATION BY SUMMA REHAB HOSPITAL, LLC TO NOT ADDRESS ANY OTHER IDENTIFIED HEALTH NEED. THIS PRIORITY SPECIFIC COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS THAT THE HOSPITAL HAS DETERMINED TO MEET IN WHOLE OR IN PART AND THAT ARE CONSISTENT WITH ITS MISSION. THE HOSPITAL RESERVES THE RIGHT TO AMEND THIS STRATEGY AS CIRCUMSTANCES WARRANT. FOR EXAMPLE, CERTAIN NEEDS BECOME MORE PRONOUNCED AND REQUIRE ENHANCEMENTS TO THE DESCRIBED STRATEGIC INITIATIVES. DURING THE THREE YEARS ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2025, OTHER ORGANIZATIONS IN THE COMMUNITY MAY DECIDE TO ADDRESS CERTAIN NEEDS, INDICATING THAT THE HOSPITAL THEN SHOULD REFOCUS ITS LIMITED RESOURCES TO BEST SERVE THE COMMUNITY. PRIORITY HEALTH GOAL: INCREASE ACCESS TO QUALITY HEALTHCARE THE HEALTH NEEDS PERTAINING TO ACCESS ARE BEING ADDRESSED THROUGH CARE COORDINATION, PROVIDING EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, PATIENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS AND ADVOCACY. EXPECTED OUTCOME (S): INCREASE ACCESS TO CARE AND PATIENT KNOWLEDGE INCREASE ADHERENCE TO MEDICATIONS A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTIONS BEING TAKEN TO ADDRESS THE HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED ABOVE CAN BE FOUND ON THE 2020-2022 SUMMA HEALTH COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOUND ON THE SUMMA HEALTH WEBSITE AT https://summarehabhospital.com/COMMUNITY-HEALTH-NEEDS-ASSESSMENT-2022/ SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS NOT ADDRESSED THE LIST ABOVE INDICATES SEVERAL PRIORITIZED HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE 2019 CHNA THAT SUMMA WILL NOT ADDRESS IN THE PLAN. REASONS FOR NOT TARGETING THESE AREAS INCLUDE THEY ARE ADDRESSED DURING CLINCIAL VISITS, GO BEYOND THE CURRENT SCOPE OF THE HOSPITAL, RESOURCE CONSTRAINTS, AVAILABLE EXPERTISE, OR BEING MORE APPRORIATE FOR OTHER COMMUNITY AGENCIES TO ADDRESS. POOR HEALTH STATUS CAN RESULT THROUGH A COMPLEX INTERACTION OF CHALLENGING SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL FACTORS, COMBINED WITH LACK OF ACCESS TO CARE.

HOWEVER, SUMMA RECOGNIZES THAT NO HOSPITAL FACILITY CAN ADDRESS ALL OF THE ROOT CAUSES AND HEALTH NEEDS PRESENT IN ITS COMMUNITY. THEREFORE, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE HEALTH SYSTEM WILL COLLABORATE WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AS NEEDED TO ADDRESS THE HEALTH NEEDS NOT SELECTED.

Form and Line Reference Explanation
Schedule H, Part I, Line 3c SUMMA HEALTH SYSTEM RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CONSIDER A DISCOUNT OR DISCOUNTED CARE TO ANY INDIVIDUAL WHO MAY FALL OUTSIDE THE PARAMETERS SET FORTH IN THE HOSPITAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM POLICY, WHERE SUCH INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED, IN THE SOLE DISCRETION OF HOSPITAL FACILITY AND APPROVED BY THE SYSTEM DIRECTOR HAVING EXCEPTIONAL MEDICAL CIRCUMSTANCES (I.E. TERMINAL ILLNESS, EXCESSIVE MEDICAL BILLS AND/OR MEDICATIONS, ETC.)
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 7 FACILITY REPORTING SUMMA HEALTH & SUMMA REHAB STATE FILING OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT: THE STATE OF OHIO DOES NOT REQUIRE THE FILING OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT. HOWEVER, OHIO REQUIRES ALL TAX-EXEMPT HOSPITALS TO SUBMIT TO THE OHIO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH (ODH)EXISTING COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS AND PLANS. ADDITIONALLY, HOSPITALS ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT TO ODH A COPY OF THE HOSPITAL'S SCHEDULE H (FORM 990), CORRESPONDING ATTACHMENTS AND REPORTING ON FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND MEANS-TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS AND COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES IN PARTS I AND II OF SCHEDULE H.
Schedule H, Part I, Line 6a Community benefit report prepared by related organization SUMMA HEALTH
Schedule H, Part I, Line 7g Subsidized Health Services THE AMOUNT OF SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES REPORTED ON LINE 7(G) ATTRIBUTABLE TO SUMMA PHYSICIANS, INC. DBA SUMMA HEALTH MEDICAL GROUP IS $32,108,229.
Schedule H, Part I, Line 7 Costing Methodology used to calculate financial assistance EXPLANATION OF COST METHODOLOGY USED FOR CALCULATING LINE 7 TABLE: COST OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AT COST WAS CALCULATED WITH A COST TO CHARGE RATIO USING WORKSHEET 2. THE COST RELATED TO MEDICAID PATIENTS WAS CALCULATED WITH A COST TO CHARGE RATIO USING WORKSHEET 2. FOR SUBSIDIZED ERVICES SUMMA HEALTH'S COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM IS USED TO DETERMINE COST RELATED TO SPECIFIC SERVICES EXCLUDING TRADITIONAL MEDICAID AND MEDICAID MANAGED CARE PATIENTS. COSTS FOR CHARITY AND BAD DEBT ACCOUNTS ARE DEDUCTED USING A RATIO OF COST TO CHARGE SPECIFIC TO THAT SUBSIDIZED SERVICE. COSTS FOR OTHER PROGRAMS REFLECT THE DIRECT AND INDIRECT COSTS OF PROVIDING THOSE PROGRAMS.
Schedule H, Part II Community Building Activities GUIDED BY OUR COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT, SUMMA HEALTH CONTINUES TO ADDRESS A WIDE RANGE OF COMMUNITY NEEDS, INCLUDING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES, HEALTH IMPROVEMENT, POVERTY, FOOD INSECURITY, WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, AND ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE. OUR COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES ALIGN WITH THE SOCIAL DRIVERS OF HEALTH AND REFLECT A STRATEGIC APPROACH TO IMPROVING THE CONDITIONS IN WHICH PEOPLE LIVE, WORK, AND RECEIVE CARE. SUMMA HEALTH HOSPITALS PROVIDE ROBUST HEALTH EDUCATION PROGRAMS, SUPPORT GROUPS, SCREENINGS, AND HEALTH FAIRS THROUGHOUT OUR SERVICE AREA. IN 2024, THESE ACTIVITIES INCLUDED PARTICIPATION IN OVER 150 COMMUNITY OUTREACH EVENTS, FURTHER EXPANDING OUR REACH IN UNDERSERVED NEIGHBORHOODS. WE ALSO PARTNERED WITH STATE AND LOCAL LEADERS, INCLUDING SUMMIT COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH AND THE SUMMIT COALITION FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT, TO ADDRESS UNMET COMMUNITY NEEDS. SUMMA CONTRIBUTES TO THE ECONOMIC GROWTH OF OUR COMMUNITIES BY INVESTING IN PROGRAMS THAT IMPROVE THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT, SUPPORT LOCAL JOB CREATION, AND STRENGTHEN COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE. IN 2024, SUMMA HEALTH REMAINED THE LARGEST EMPLOYER IN SUMMIT COUNTY, WITH OVER 8,100 EMPLOYEES AND PHYSICIANS. CAPITAL INVESTMENTS AT OUR AKRON AND BARBERTON CAMPUSES CREATED CONSTRUCTION JOBS, EXPANDED OUTPATIENT SERVICE LOCATIONS, AND INCREASED ACCESS TO CARE CLOSE TO HOME, WHILE SUPPORTING THE GROWTH OF OUR COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS. DIGITAL INNOVATION PLAYED A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN COMMUNITY BUILDING IN 2024. THROUGH THE DEPLOYMENT OF EPIC CHEERS, MYCHART, HELLO WORLD, AND WEBSITE CHATBOTS, SUMMA HEALTH ENHANCED PATIENT COMMUNICATION, STREAMLINED APPOINTMENT REMINDERS, AND EXPANDED SELF-SERVICE OPTIONS. THESE TECHNOLOGIES IMPROVED PATIENT ENGAGEMENT, REDUCED CALL CENTER VOLUME, AND INCREASED PATIENT SATISFACTION WHILE REMOVING BARRIERS TO ACCESS. EPIC CHEERS ENABLED INNOVATIVE COMMUNICATION CAMPAIGNS AND PERSONALIZED OUTREACH. HELLO WORLD INTRODUCED TEXT-BASED REMINDERS THAT BROADENED OUR REACH, AND ENHANCED MYCHART FUNCTIONALITY RESULTED IN A RECORD NUMBER OF ACTIVELY ENGAGED PATIENTS. WEBSITE CHATBOTS ON SUMMA HEALTH AND SUMMACARE PORTALS GAVE PATIENTS 24/7 ACCESS TO INFORMATION AND SERVICES. IN 2024, SUMMA IMPLEMENTED THE ROUNDTRIP TRANSPORTATION PLATFORM TO ADDRESS NON-EMERGENCY MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION NEEDS. THIS COMMUNITY-BUILDING SOLUTION HELPED PATIENTS WITHOUT RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION ARRIVE ON TIME FOR APPOINTMENTS, SUPPORTING CARE CONTINUITY AND IMPROVING HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR INDIVIDUALS MANAGING CHRONIC CONDITIONS. SUMMA ALSO ADVANCED WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES IN 2024 THROUGH PARTICIPATION IN LOCAL TALENT PIPELINE PROGRAMS, SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS, AND SUPPORT FOR HEALTH CAREER PATHWAYS. THESE EFFORTS ARE DESIGNED TO BUILD A FUTURE HEALTH CARE WORKFORCE THAT REFLECTS THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. IN SUMMARY, SUMMA HEALTH'S COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES IN 2024 PROMOTED HEALTH NOT ONLY THROUGH CLINICAL INTERVENTIONS BUT ALSO BY ADDRESSING THE BROADER SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTEXT IN WHICH HEALTH IS DETERMINED. THESE EFFORTS ARE CENTRAL TO OUR MISSION AND REPRESENT A LONG-TERM COMMITMENT TO BUILDING A STRONGER, MORE EQUITABLE HEALTH SYSTEM FOR ALL.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 2 Bad debt expense - methodology used to estimate amount AN ESTIMATED PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS IS RECORDED THAT RESULTS IN NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE BEING REPORTED AT THE NET AMOUNT EXPECTED TO BE RECEIVED. SUMMA HAS DETERMINED, BASED ON AN ASSESSMENT AT THE CONSOLIDATED LEVEL, THAT PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IS PRIMARILY RECORDED PRIOR TO ASSESSING THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY AND AS SUCH, THE ENTIRE PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS RELATED TO PATIENT REVENUE IS RECORDED AS A DEDUCTION FROM PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IN THE ACCOMPANYING CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS. AT THE POINT IN TIME THAT A CHARGE IS BELIEVED TO BE UNCOLLECTIBLE, THE RELATED RECEIVABLE IS WRITTEN OFF AS A DOUBTFUL ACCOUNT. SUMMA MAINTAINS AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS BASED ON THE EXPECTED COLLECTABILITY OF PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. THE PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS IS BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS CONSIDERING HISTORICAL BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, TRENDS IN HEALTH CARE COVERAGES, AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. PERIODICALLY THROUGH THE YEAR, MANAGEMENT ASSESSES THE ADEQUACY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS BASED UPON HISTORICAL WRITE-OFF EXPERIENCE BY PAYOR CATEGORY. THE RESULTS OF THIS REVIEW ARE THEN USED TO MAKE MODIFICATIONS TO THE PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS TO ESTABLISH AN APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR THE UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 4 Bad debt expense - financial statement footnote SUMMA HEALTH'S AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, 13. PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE, PAGE 34 to 37.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 8 Community benefit & methodology for determining medicare costs DESCRIBE EXTENT ANY SHORTFALL FROM LINE 7 IS TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND COSTING METHODOLOGY OR SOURCE USED TO DETERMINE AMOUNT ON LINE 6: INCLUSION OF ALL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S PARTICIPATION IN MEDICARE PROGRAMS WOULD SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL REPORTED ON SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 7. THE ORGANIZATION'S MEDICARE SHORTFALL IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO REIMBURSEMENTS THAT ARE LESS THAN THE COST OF PROVIDING PATIENT CARE AND SERVICES TO MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES AND DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY AMOUNTS THAT RESULT FROM INEFFICIENCIES OR POOR MANAGEMENT. THE ORGANIZATION ACCEPTS ALL MEDICARE PATIENTS KNOWING THAT THERE MAY BE SHORTFALLS, THEREFORE IT HAS TAKEN THE POSITION THAT ANY SHORTFALL SHOULD BE COUNTED AS PART OF ITS COMMUNITY BENEFIT. COSTING METHOD USED WAS TOTAL ALLOWABLE COST LESS ALL COSTS DEEMED NON-ALLOWABLE BY MEDICARE REGULATIONS. MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COST ARE BASED ON INFORMATION PROVIDED ON WORKSHEET B, PART I, COLUMN 26, LINE 118 FROM THE VARIOUS HOSPITALS' MEDICARE COST REPORTS.
Schedule H, Part III, Line 9b Collection practices for patients eligible for financial assistance DID COLLECTION POLICY CONTAIN PROVISIONS ON COLLECTION PRACTICES FOR PATIENTS WHO ARE KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR ASSISTANCE: SUMMA WILL NOT PURSUE LEGAL ACTION FOR NON-PAYMENT OF BILLS AGAINST ANY PATIENT WHO IS WITHOUT ACCESS TO HEALTH INSURANCE AND WITHOUT OTHER SIGNIFICANT INCOME OR NET WORTH. BEFORE INITIATING LEGAL ACTION FOR NON-PAYMENT, OUR HOSPITALS WILL, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PATIENT, MAKE SURE THAT THE PATIENT IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR ANY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AND DOES NOT QUALIFY UNDER THE HOSPITALS' CHARITY CARE POLICY.

THESE PARTNERS WORK TOGETHER TO IDENTIFY PRIORITY HEALTH ISSUES, GATHER INPUT FROM DIVERSE COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS, AND INFORM STRATEGIC DECISIONS THAT ADVANCE EQUITY AND POPULATION HEALTH ACROSS THE REGION.
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 3 Patient education of eligibility for assistance IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RULES SET FORTH BY OHIO ADMINISTRATIVE CODE SECTION 2101:3-2-07.17 NOTICES, SUMMA HEALTH SYSTEM'S HOSPITALS HAVE NOTICES POSTED IN THE EMERGENCY ROOMS, ADMISSION AREAS, CASHIER'S OFFICE, AND OTHER PATIENT AREAS. THE NOTICES SPECIFY THE RIGHTS OF INDIVIDUALS TO RECEIVE WITHOUT CHARGE, MEDICALLY NECESSARY HOSPITAL-LEVEL SERVICES. A FINANCIAL ADVOCATE IS AVAILABLE TO PATIENTS AT THE POINT OF ADMISSION AND PRIOR TO SCHEDULED OUTPATIENT SERVICE. FINANCIAL ADVOCATE REVIEWS THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS AND ASSISTS WITH APPLICATION COMPLETION. THE SUMMA WEBSITE PROVIDES DETAILED INFORMATION REGARDING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ALONG WITH THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION. CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES ARE AVAILABLE TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL COUNSELING TO PATIENTS WHO CALL. CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES ASSIST THE PATIENT IN COMPLETING THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION. CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES MAKE OUTGOING CALLS TO DISCUSS AND EDUCATE PATIENT ON FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. PATIENT BILLING STATEMENTS CONTAIN CONTACT INFORMATION AND INFORMATION ABOUT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE STATEMENT INCLUDES AN APPLICATION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. SUMMA HEALTH CONTRACTS WITH CORPORATE PARTNERS WHO MEET WITH INHOUSE PATIENTS. AVAILABILITY OF COUNTY AND FEDERAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS IS REVIEWED. A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION IS COMPLETED DURING THIS MEETING. THIS CORPORATE PARTNER ALSO MAKES OUTGOING CALLS AND SENDS LETTERS TO PATIENTS WHO HAD OUTPATIENT PROCEDURES INFORMING THEM OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 4 Community information SUMMA HEALTH, WITH HOSPITAL CAMPUSES IN AKRON AND BARBERTON, SERVES A DIVERSE COMMUNITY CHARACTERIZED BY A MIX OF URBAN AND SUBURBAN POPULATIONS. THE SUMMA AKRON CAMPUS IS LOCATED IN THE HEART OF AKRON, OHIO, A CITY IN SUMMIT COUNTY KNOWN FOR ITS RICH INDUSTRIAL HISTORY AND DIVERSE COMMUNITY. AKRON IS CHARACTERIZED BY A MIX OF URBAN AND SUBURBAN AREAS, WITH A POPULATION THAT INCLUDES A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF ELDERLY RESIDENTS AS WELL AS YOUNGER FAMILIES AND PROFESSIONALS. THE CITY IS HOME TO VARIOUS ETHNIC GROUPS, NOTABLY AFRICAN AMERICAN, HISPANIC AND BHUTANESE-NEPALI COMMUNITIES. COMMUNITIES. AKRON EMPHASIZES EDUCATION, HEALTHCARE, AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, WITH NUMEROUS CULTURAL AND RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES CONTRIBUTING TO ITS VIBRANT LOCAL LIFE. BARBERTON, WHERE THE SUMMA BARBERTON CAMPUS IS LOCATED, IS A SMALL CITY IN SUMMIT COUNTY WITH A RICH INDUSTRIAL HISTORY. THE COMMUNITY IS KNOWN FOR ITS WORKING-CLASS ROOTS AND STRONG SENSE OF LOCAL PRIDE. BARBERTON HAS A DIVERSE POPULATION, WITH A MIX OF FAMILIES, ELDERLY RESIDENTS, AND A GROWING NUMBER OF YOUNGER INDIVIDUALS AND PROFESSIONALS. THE CITY PLACES A HIGH VALUE ON COMMUNITY HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND LOCAL CULTURE, WITH NUMEROUS PARKS, RECREATIONAL FACILITIES, AND COMMUNITY EVENTS CONTRIBUTING TO A VIBRANT AND CONNECTED COMMUNITY LIFE. THE REGION HAS A DEMOGRAPHIC COMPOSITION THAT INCLUDES A SIGNIFICANT PROPORTION OF ELDERLY RESIDENTS, REFLECTING THE NEED FOR COMPREHENSIVE HEALTHCARE SERVICES TAILORED TO AGING POPULATIONS. ADDITIONALLY, THE COMMUNITY IS ETHNICALLY DIVERSE, WITH NOTABLE AFRICAN AMERICAN AND HISPANIC POPULATIONS, NECESSITATING CULTURALLY COMPETENT HEALTHCARE PRACTICES AND PROGRAMS TO ADDRESS THE SPECIFIC HEALTH NEEDS OF THESE GROUPS. SUMMA HEALTH'S SERVICES CATER TO THESE VARIED DEMOGRAPHICS, ENSURING ACCESSIBLE AND EQUITABLE HEALTHCARE FOR ALL RESIDENTS IN THE AREA. THERE WERE 538,370 PEOPLE LIVING IN SUMMIT COUNTY IN 2024. IN SUMMIT COUNTY, 23.5 PERCENT OF THE POPULATION IS NON-WHITE, COMPARED TO 19.4 PERCENT IN THE STATE. EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT IS SLIGHTLY HIGHER IN SUMMIT COUNTY THAN THE STATE OF OHIO, WITH 93.8 PERCENT HAVING A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA OR HIGHER AND 38.2 PERCENT HAVING A BACHELOR'S DEGREE OR HIGHER. SIMILARLY, ANNUAL PER CAPITA INCOME IN SUMMIT COUNTY IS SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN THE STATE OF OHIO AT $43,456. THE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME IS $69,577, AND THE PERCENT OF SUMMIT COUNTY RESIDENTS LIVING IN POVERTY IS 12.7 PERCENT. OF THE HOUSEHOLDS IN SUMMIT COUNTY, 47.9 PERCENT MAKE LESS THAN $50,000 ANNUALLY. HOWEVER, THE CITY OF AKRON, WHICH IS THE LARGEST CITY IN SUMMIT COUNTY, HAS A MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME OF $50,025 WITH A POVERTY RATE OF 22.8 PERCENT FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2024. THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IN SUMMIT COUNTY REBOUNDED AFTER BEING IMPACTED BY COVID-19. IN 2020, THE HIGHEST RATE WAS IN APRIL AT 14.7 PERCENT. IN 2024, THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE WAS 4.9 PERCENT. THERE ARE TWO MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREAS (MUAs) PRESENT IN SUMMIT COUNTY: THE SOUTHEAST AKRON AND SUMMIT SERVICE AREAS. LOW INCOMES AND UNEMPLOYMENT CONTRIBUTE TO SUMMA'S BURDEN FOR CHARITY CARE. DESPITE THESE CHALLENGES, DEMAND FOR SUMMA'S SERVICES IN THESE COMMUNITIES IS PROJECTED TO GROW. MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE AGE GROUP THAT DEMANDS HEALTHCARE SERVICES THE MOST (AGE 65 AND OLDER) IS EXPECTED TO GROW SIGNIFICANTLY. THIS AGE GROUP IS PROJECTED TO INCREASE BY 16.0 PERCENT IN SUMMIT COUNTY OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.
Schedule H, Part VI, Line 5 Promotion of community health SUMMA HEALTH PROMOTES COMMUNITY HEALTH THROUGH AN OPEN MEDICAL STAFF MODEL, STRATEGIC REINVESTMENT OF SURPLUS FUNDS, A COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION (DEI), SUPPORT FOR GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION, AND ENGAGEMENT OF LOCAL COMMUNITY LEADERS THROUGH FORMAL GOVERNANCE STRUCTURES. THESE EFFORTS COLLECTIVELY ADVANCE SUMMA'S EXEMPT PURPOSE BY ADDRESSING THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. SUMMA MAINTAINS AN OPEN MEDICAL STAFF POLICY THAT EXTENDS HOSPITAL PRIVILEGES TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS IN THE REGION. THIS APPROACH SUPPORTS PROVIDER DIVERSITY AND PROMOTES BROAD ACCESS TO COMPREHENSIVE CARE. SUMMA'S COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT COMMITTEE (CEC), A SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE SUMMA HEALTH BOARD OF DIRECTORS, PROVIDES OVERSIGHT FOR COMMUNITY BENEFIT, OUTREACH, AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS STRATEGIES. THE CEC IS COMPRISED OF 17 DIVERSE COMMUNITY LEADERS, 100 PERCENT OF WHOM RESIDE OR WORK WITHIN SUMMA'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREA. THIS STRUCTURE ENSURES THAT LOCAL PERSPECTIVES GUIDE PROGRAMMING THAT ADDRESSES IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY NEEDS. SURPLUS FUNDS ARE REINVESTED IN PATIENT CARE, CLINICAL SERVICES, INFRASTRUCTURE, MEDICAL EDUCATION, AND COMMUNITY INITIATIVES. IN 2024, SUMMA COMPLETED MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AT THE AKRON AND BARBERTON CAMPUSES TO ENHANCE INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT SERVICE CAPACITY. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO RECRUITED 44 NEW PHYSICIANS IN PRIMARY CARE AND SPECIALTY AREAS TO ADDRESS ACCESS GAPS. SUMMA HEALTH SUPPORTS ITS EDUCATIONAL MISSION THROUGH ROBUST GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS, TRAINING MORE THAN 250 RESIDENTS AND FELLOWS ANNUALLY ACROSS MULTIPLE SPECIALTIES. THESE PROGRAMS CONTRIBUTE TO WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AND HELP PREPARE THE NEXT GENERATION OF PHYSICIANS TO SERVE OUR REGION.
