The added supported organizations are not named in the governing documents of BCHS; however, all are described in Section 509(a)(1) or Section 509(a)(2) of the Code and therefore fall within the supported organization classes designated in the Articles of Incorporation of BCHS. |
| Schedule A, Part IV, Section B, Line 1 Power to elect or appoint | BayCare Health System, Inc. ("BCHS") was established nearly thirty years ago as an integrated network of not-for-profit healthcare organizations. Individuals serving on the governing bodies of certain supported organizations that were foundational to the BayCare system have the power to nominate a majority of the members of the BCHS governing body, and they represent some of the supported organizations of BCHS.

This structure ensures that all supported organizations of BCHS exercise effective supervision over its activities. |

| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a Program Service Accomplishments | BayCare's 16 hospitals are Bartow Regional Medical Center, BayCare Alliant, BayCare Hospital Wesley Chapel, Mease Countryside, Mease Dunedin, Morton Plant, Morton Plant North Bay, St. Anthony's, St. Joseph's, St. Joseph's Children's, St. Joseph's Women's, St. Joseph's-North, St. Joseph's-South, South Florida Baptist, Winter Haven and Winter Haven Women's. (In certain cases, hospital locations with the same tax identification and state license number are listed as one facility on Form 990, Schedule H, consistent with IRS reporting guidelines.) BayCare is growing to meet the needs of areas experiencing rapid population growth, with several major construction projects announced or completed during 2024. In April 2024, BayCare announced it would build its 17th hospital in Manatee County, which is immediately south of BayCare's primary four-county service area consisting of Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas and Polk counties. BayCare Hospital Manatee will be that county's first not-for-profit hospital and is projected to open in 2028. The Manatee project includes construction of a 45,000-square-foot BayCare HealthHub expected to open in 2026. In August 2024, BayCare opened a modern, 424,000-square-foot South Florida Baptist Hospital in Plant City in Hillsborough County to replace the original 70-year-old hospital founded in 1953. The project included construction of an 85,000-square-foot medical arts building. In November 2024, BayCare broke ground for a $110 million expansion of Bartow Regional Medical Center to serve rapidly growing Polk County. BayCare was founded in 1997 after leaders of several of the area's independent, not-for-profit hospitals began discussing ways to ensure that high-quality, not-for-profit health care would remain a viable option for the Tampa Bay region for decades to come. The founding hospitals agreed to sacrifice some of their autonomy to be operated by a new entity, BayCare Health System, under a Joint Operating Agreement (JOA). Years of growth and achievement followed, with BayCare earning national recognition for high-quality, compassionate care. In 2024, BayCare transitioned from the JOA to a simplified corporate legal structure. BayCare remains a 501(c)3 not-for-profit. With $6.27 billion in operating revenue in 2024, BayCare is now a fully integrated health system dedicated to providing high-quality, compassionate care to all we serve, regardless of their ability to pay. In 2024, BayCare had 4,003 hospital beds, 18 urgent care centers, 4 surgery centers, 15 outpatient imaging centers, 208 physician practice locations and 20 behavioral health practice locations. BayCare annually generates $10 billion in economic impact in the region and state. BayCare is one of the largest employers in the Tampa Bay area, with 32,785 team members. During 2024, BayCare provided $855 million in benefits for its employees, including $256 million in retirement savings, $237 million in medical insurance, $216 million in paid time off and $71 million in team member development and education assistance. In 2024, BayCare was ranked nationally among health care systems for clinical quality and outcomes, safety and patient experience. Six of nine eligible BayCare hospitals scored 4 or 5 stars out of 5 in the 2024 Hospital Quality Star Ratings by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. BayCare received numerous 5-star ratings for exceptional performance in specific areas of care from Healthgrades and earned 20 Press Ganey Human Experience Awards for 2024, performing in the top 5% of U.S. health care systems. Nine of BayCare's acute-care hospitals earned "A" grades in the fall 2024 Leapfrog Safety Grades, eight of which earned Leapfrog's elite "Straight A" designation. And the Society of Thoracic Surgeons ranked BayCare in the top 10% nationally for cardiac outcomes. In the area of workplace awards, BayCare ranked 8th in the nation on the list of PEOPLE Companies that Care and ranked 17th in the nation on Fortune Best Workplaces in Health Care. BayCare also made the 2024 Top Workplaces list of the Tampa Bay Times newspaper for the 10th year in a row. In 2024, BayCare provided $467 million in total Community Benefit, including $272 million in Medicaid and other income-based programs, $107 million in traditional charity care and $88 million in unbilled community services, all measured in unreimbursed costs. BayCare is dedicated to improving the health of its communities. Addressing hunger has been a vital mission for BayCare since 2019, when a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) identified food insecurity as one of the top issues in the Tampa Bay and West Central Florida regions. Improving access to health and social services has been another priority. In 2024, BayCare released a mid-cycle 18-month report on its 2023-2025 CHNA implementation plans showing its efforts had led to more than a half-million engagements or interventions for the people of West Central Florida. BayCare's community benefit efforts during that 18-month period included contributing significant financial support to 42 school-based food pantries that distributed more than 2 million pounds of food; 140,000 free health screenings; distribution of 17,926 Healing Bags of nonperishable food to patients who identified as food insecure; and providing 51 Mental Health First Aid courses with 674 graduates. Twenty-seven years after BayCare was created, it is achieving the goal of its founders to preserve access to not-for-profit health care for the communities of Tampa Bay and West Central Florida, and it is fulfilling its Mission as an organization to "improve the health of all we serve through community-owned services that set the standard for high-quality, compassionate care." |
