This program relies on donated healthcare services to execute its mission. The program facilitates the donation of healthcare services to individuals and does not receive or distribute goods or services. In 2024, the Kansas City Medical Society (KCMS) Foundation deepened its commitment to improving access to specialty care for uninsured and underserved individuals across the Kansas City metropolitan region. Through strong partnerships with hospitals, physician practices, imaging centers, laboratories, and other healthcare providers, the Foundation coordinated approximately 2,460 medical services for people unable to access health insurance who also have incomes below 200% of the federal poverty level. These medical services-ranging from diagnostic imaging and specialist consultations to surgeries and ongoing treatments-were provided entirely at no cost to the patient. Participating providers donate their time, expertise, equipment, and facilities, and report self-pay equivalent charges to document the value of care donated. Based on comparable trends from 2023, the estimated value of these donated services in 2024 is projected to exceed $9 million. For the people served, donated care directly translates into better health outcomes, restored ability to work, improved capacity to care for family members, and reduced risk of medical debt. Patients are spared the economic devastation that can result from untreated illness, emergency room reliance, or prolonged time away from work. For primary care clinics, connecting patients with timely specialty services and diagnostics allows providers to more effectively manage complex cases at the primary care level. This enhances the quality of care, reduces preventable complications, and helps clinics serve a larger patient population with confidence that follow-up care is available. For donating hospitals and providers, providing care in a planned, outpatient setting is a more cost-effective and clinically sound alternative to emergency or crisis-driven interventions. These contributions reduce uncompensated care costs, improve continuity of care, and allow hospitals and practices to invest in community health in a strategic and meaningful way. For the community, this model reduces the burden on emergency departments, increases the efficiency of the local health system, and fosters a healthier, more economically stable population. It also reinforces trust in the healthcare system, demonstrating that community partners can work together to meet critical health needs compassionately and effectively. 67842 0 0 Advocacy - KCMS Foundation advances access to healthcare through advocacy supporting access to Medicaid. That advocacy includes direct and grassroots lobbying, regulatory advocacy, and education on healthcare access. 13010 0 8440 Health Education / Retired Physicians Organization - In 2024, the physicians serving on the KCMS Wellness and Prevention Committee contributed a total of 159 volunteer hours, representing an in-kind value of $16,931.42 (based on the Independent Sector's estimated hourly value of physician volunteer time: $169.38/hour). Throughout the year, the committee advanced initiatives that elevated physician well-being and addressed urgent community health needs in greater Kansas City. Their work to reform hospital credentialing language helped reduce stigma around mental health, aligning with the Dr. Lorna Breen Act and supporting the development of peer support and mentorship programs. These efforts culminated in the inaugural Physician Suicide Awareness Campaign, which included community events, educational materials, and peer-led discussions to promote wellness across the medical profession. In addition, the committee expanded opioid overdose prevention efforts through NarcanTM training in schools and community organizations and supported the launch of a student-led social media campaign focused on harm reduction. The group also contributed to the development of a Diabetes Self-Management curriculum centered on health equity and social determinants of health. This physician-led committee continues to serve as a vital force for wellness, prevention, and advocacy-impacting both the medical community and the broader population it serves. Also in 2024, the Retired Physicians Organization (RPO), a program of the Foundation, continued its mission of advancing community health education and mentoring the next generation of healthcare professionals. RPO volunteer physicians provided 243 hours of community service, including preparation, travel, and delivery of health education presentations across the Kansas City area. These presentations reached 2,163 individuals through 46 unique venue requests, including community centers, faith-based organizations, and partner agency events. Using the Independent Sector's 2024 estimated value of physician volunteer time at $169.38 per hour, this contribution represents an in-kind service donation valued at $41,159.34. The impact of this service goes beyond economic value-RPO's efforts helped improve community health skills, addressed common medical concerns in accessible language, and provided trusted guidance from experienced physicians. By meeting the needs of community groups and agency partners with tailored, health-focused programming, RPO reinforced the Foundation's commitment to health equity and grassroots engagement. These presentations often serve as the only source of reliable, physician-led health information for many underserved populations in the area, strengthening public health outcomes and building trust between medical professionals and the communities they serve. 0 0 0 520919 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 5 0 1 8 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 24 24 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 X X Karole Bradford 8169080524 6750 Antioch Rd Suite 305J Merriam KS 66204 Karole Bradford Chief Executive Officer 40 0 X 99747 0 16403 Jignesh Shah Chair 3 0 X X 0 0 0 Raelene Knolla Vice-Chair 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Stephen Salanski Immediate Past Chair 3 0 X X 0 0 0 Betsy Green Secretary/Treasurer 3 0 X X 0 0 0 Wael Mourad Charitable Care Committee 3 0 X X 0 0 0 Casey Murray At Large 2 0 X X 0 0 0 James Appelbaum Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Anjalee Carlson Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Sukumar Ethirajan Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Amy Falk Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Sarah Hon Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Naiomi Jamal Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Keith Jantz Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Gordon Kelley Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Marielena Marroquin Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 John Maschger Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Felicia Menefee Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Muhammad Mushtaq Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Darryl Nelson Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Isaac Opole Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Mary Redmon Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Terry Rosell Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Greg Unruh Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Karla Juarez Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 99747 0 16403 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 12092 0 250000 758100 0 1020192 Program Contract Revenue 900099 8440 8440 0 0 0 0 0 0 8440 26683 0 0 26683 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3950 12092 13448 -9498 0 -9498 0 1045817 8440 0 17185 X 250 250 116150 81305 23230 11615 343898 292483 2175 49240 23854 16767 3765 3322 35026 27397 3070 4559 30742 0 30742 0 105326 49802 29426 26098 178 178 0 0 12659 9686 2287 686 38866 32913 3608 2345 5835 5835 0 0 9121 4303 3010 1808 447 0 447 0 3018 0 3018 0 725370 520919 104778 99673 124556 340345 284163 410883 95000 342940 11053 1500 1627 2817 3670 3470 646 200 246344 0 763389 1098685 35616 50463 0 0 35616 50463 X 210164 314832 517609 733390 727773 1048222 763389 1098685 X 320447 0 0 0 0 2 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 637952 611481 879061 384801 1020192 3533487 637952 611481 879061 384801 1020192 3533487 2320760 1212727 79 144 196 14496 26683 41598 0 742 1277 0 0 2019 3577104 93850 0.33902 0.32025 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Miscellaneous income and refunds; 2022: Refund of 2021 duplicate tax payment.

Accordingly, no provision or liability for income taxes has been included in the accompanying financial statements. The Foundation recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Foundation is subject to income tax regulations in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and certain state jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgement to apply. With few exceptions, the Foundation is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the applicable tax authorities for the years before 2021. If any were to be incurred, the Foundation's policy is to record penalties and interest assessed by income tax authorities as operating expenses.
