BAPTIST HEALTH CITIZENS HOSPITAL IS LOCATED IN TALLADEGA COUNTY, WHILE BAPTIST HEALTH SHELBY HOSPITAL IS LOCATED IN SHELBY COUNTY AND BAPTIST HEALTH WALKER HOSPITAL IS LOCATED IN WALKER COUNTY. BASED ON OUR PRIORITIZATION PROCESS, WE SELECTED ACCESS TO CARE AS OUR PRIORITY HEALTH NEED FROM THE 2025 CHNA.WITH THE COMPLETION OF THE 2025 CHNA AND OUR FOCUS ON ACCESS TO CARE, BAPTIST HEALTH DEVELOPED NEW AND ENHANCED EXISTING COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO CARE. IN SUPPORT OF OUR COMMUNITY BENEFIT EFFORTS, WE RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF WORKING WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. IN 2025, WE SUPPORTED MORE THAN 700 COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. BAPTIST HEALTH HAS PROVIDED MORE THAN 11,421 BOARD MEMBER, COMMITTEE MEMBER AND ADVISORY BOARD MEMBER HOURS. EXAMPLES FROM KEY INITIATIVES THAT FOCUS ON NEEDS IDENTIFIED INCLUDE: BASED ON THE NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE 2025 CHNA REPORTS, BAPTIST HEALTH WILL LAUNCH THE BAPTIST HEALTH COMMUNITY GRANT PROGRAM. THIS IS ONE WAY BAPTIST HEALTH WILL COLLABORATE WITH LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. THE GRANT PROCESS WILL BEGIN IN FY2026 WITH THE FIRST CYCLE OF FUNDED ORGANIZATIONS OCCURRING IN FY2027.

WITH THE INTEGRATION OF FINDHELP INTO THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM'S ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD, OUR PHYSICIANS AND TEAM MEMBERS NOW HAVE EASY ACCESS TO FINDHELP'S EXTENSIVE NETWORK OF PROGRAMS AND RESOURCES, EMPOWERING THEM TO PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT FOR EVERY PATIENT AND ENHANCING HEALTHCARE QUALITY, SAFETY AND PATIENT SATISFACTION. THE RESOURCE WILL BE AVAILABLE TO TEAM MEMBERS THROUGH A PHASED ROLLOUT PROCESS IN FY2026. DURING THAT TIME, WE WILL BEGIN EVALUATING THE NUMBER OF SEARCHES CONDUCTED AND THE NUMBER OF REFERRALS MADE THROUGH THE PLATFORM. IN ADDITION TO IMPLEMENTING FINDHELP IN OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM, BAPTIST HEALTH IS COLLABORATING WITH JEFFERSON COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND 211 TO DEVELOP A COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH HUB FOR THE CENTRAL ALABAMA COMMUNITY THAT WILL INCLUDE THE FINDHELP TOOL.

WE ALSO TOOK INTO CONSIDERATION THE COUNTY WHERE EACH HOSPITAL IS LOCATED. BAPTIST HEALTH BROOKWOOD HOSPITAL AND BAPTIST HEALTH PRINCETON HOSPITAL ARE LOCATED IN JEFFERSON COUNTY. BAPTIST HEALTH CITIZENS HOSPITAL IS LOCATED IN TALLADEGA COUNTY, WHILE BAPTIST HEALTH SHELBY HOSPITAL IS LOCATED IN SHELBY COUNTY AND BAPTIST HEALTH WALKER HOSPITAL IS LOCATED IN WALKER COUNTY. BASED ON OUR PRIORITIZATION PROCESS, WE SELECTED ACCESS TO CARE AS OUR PRIORITY HEALTH NEED FROM THE 2025 CHNA.WITH THE COMPLETION OF THE 2025 CHNA AND OUR FOCUS ON ACCESS TO CARE, BAPTIST HEALTH DEVELOPED NEW AND ENHANCED EXISTING COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO CARE. IN SUPPORT OF OUR COMMUNITY BENEFIT EFFORTS, WE RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF WORKING WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. IN 2025, WE SUPPORTED MORE THAN 700 COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. BAPTIST HEALTH HAS PROVIDED MORE THAN 11,421 BOARD MEMBER, COMMITTEE MEMBER AND ADVISORY BOARD MEMBER HOURS. EXAMPLES FROM KEY INITIATIVES THAT FOCUS ON NEEDS IDENTIFIED INCLUDE: BASED ON THE NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE 2025 CHNA REPORTS, BAPTIST HEALTH WILL LAUNCH THE BAPTIST HEALTH COMMUNITY GRANT PROGRAM. THIS IS ONE WAY BAPTIST HEALTH WILL COLLABORATE WITH LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. THE GRANT PROCESS WILL BEGIN IN FY2026 WITH THE FIRST CYCLE OF FUNDED ORGANIZATIONS OCCURRING IN FY2027. AWARDED PROGRAMS WILL DIRECTLY SUPPORT THE NEEDS IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE 2025 CHNA REPORTS AND SUPPORT BAPTIST HEALTH'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREAS. IN ADDITION TO THE COMMUNITY GRANT PROGRAM, BAPTIST HEALTH PARTNERS WITH THE BAPTIST HEALTH FOUNDATION TO SUPPORT THEIR COMMUNITY GRANTMAKING THROUGHOUT OUR SERVICE AREA.TO SUPPORT BETTER ACCESS TO CARE THROUGH COMMUNITY COLLABORATION, BAPTIST HEALTH IN FY2025 BEGAN THE PROCESS OF IMPLEMENTING FINDHELP, AN ONLINE REFERRAL SYSTEM THAT SEAMLESSLY CONNECTS OUR COMMUNITY WITH ESSENTIAL SOCIAL AND HEALTH SERVICES, INCLUDING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, FOOD PANTRIES, MEDICAL CARE AND OTHER FREE OR REDUCED-COST RESOURCES. WITH THE INTEGRATION OF FINDHELP INTO THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM'S ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD, OUR PHYSICIANS AND TEAM MEMBERS NOW HAVE EASY ACCESS TO FINDHELP'S EXTENSIVE NETWORK OF PROGRAMS AND RESOURCES, EMPOWERING THEM TO PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT FOR EVERY PATIENT AND ENHANCING HEALTHCARE QUALITY, SAFETY AND PATIENT SATISFACTION. THE RESOURCE WILL BE AVAILABLE TO TEAM MEMBERS THROUGH A PHASED ROLLOUT PROCESS IN FY2026. DURING THAT TIME, WE WILL BEGIN EVALUATING THE NUMBER OF SEARCHES CONDUCTED AND THE NUMBER OF REFERRALS MADE THROUGH THE PLATFORM. IN ADDITION TO IMPLEMENTING FINDHELP IN OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM, BAPTIST HEALTH IS COLLABORATING WITH JEFFERSON COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND 211 TO DEVELOP A COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH HUB FOR THE CENTRAL ALABAMA COMMUNITY THAT WILL INCLUDE THE FINDHELP TOOL. THIS RESOURCE WILL ALLOW OUR ORGANIZATIONS TO BETTER COLLABORATE AND SUPPORT THE INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. IN ORDER TO EXPAND ACCESS TO CARE, THE REACH TEAM, WHICH STANDS FOR READMISSION ADVOCATES COLLABORATING IN HEALTHCARE, WILL BE EXPANDING ITS SERVICES TO BAPTIST HEALTH HOSPITALS. THE PROGRAM PROVIDES COMMUNITY-BASED SOCIAL WORK AND CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES TO PATIENTS AFTER DISCHARGE. THE REACH TEAM WILL CONNECT WITH A PATIENT PRIOR TO DISCHARGE TO CONDUCT A SOCIAL DRIVER OF HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT. UPON DISCHARGE, THE REACH TEAM SUPPORTS THE PATIENT'S POST-DISCHARGE CARE AS WELL AS ADDITIONAL MEDICAL OR SOCIAL NEEDS. A SYSTEMWIDE INITIATIVE, THE REACH PROGRAM RECOGNIZES THE NUMEROUS FACTORS THAT IMPACT AN INDIVIDUAL'S HEALTH AND OFTEN GO BEYOND THE HEALTHCARE OUR SYSTEM PROVIDES. REACH COORDINATORS ARE CURRENTLY POSTED AT THE FOLLOWING TWO BAPTIST HEALTH HOSPITALS: BAPTIST HEALTH BROOKWOOD HOSPITAL AND BAPTIST HEALTH PRINCETON HOSPITAL. BAPTIST HEALTH PLANS ON POSTING REACH COORDINATORS AT EVERY HOSPITAL IN CENTRAL ALABAMA. IDENTIFIED NEEDS LISTED BELOW REPRESENT AN AGGREGATE LIST OF NEEDS IDENTIFIED ACROSS ALL BAPTIST HEALTH REPORTS. HOSPITAL SERVICE AREA NEEDS THAT WON'T BE EXPLICITLY ADDRESSED:- ACCESS TO DENTAL CARE- AFFORDABLE CHILD SERVICES- AFFORDABLE HOUSING- AWARENESS AND KNOWLEDGE OF ACCESSING THE "HEALTHCARE SYSTEM"- AWARENESS OF SERVICES AVAILABLE- BARRIERS PRESENTED DUE TO POLICY- BEHAVIORAL HEALTH WORKFORCE SHORTAGES- CHRONIC DISEASES, INCLUDING CANCER- CONTINUED CARE POST-PARTUM- DECLINING OBSTETRICS WORKFORCE- EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES WITH LIVABLE WAGES- FOOD SECURITY- GROWING GAP BETWEEN INSURED AND UNINSURED- HEALTH LITERACY- HEALTHCARE SYSTEM NAVIGATION, INCLUDING INSURANCE- INCREASED COST OF LIVING- INCREASING COMMUNITY VIOLENCE, INCLUDING GUN VIOLENCE- JOB TRAINING (HEALTHCARE SPECIFIC)- LACK OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH FOR ALL AGES- LACK OF SAFE PLACES FOR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY- LACK OF SUBSTANCE USE TREATMENT SERVICES- LONG WAIT TIMES FOR PRIMARY AND SPECIALTY CARE- PAYOR CHALLENGES, INCLUDING REIMBURSEMENT RATES- PRENATAL EDUCATION, ESPECIALLY FOR LOW-INCOME AND UNINSURED POPULATIONS- PROVIDER SHORTAGES- TRANSPORTATION- WORKFORCE RECRUITMENT AND RETENTIONWHILE EACH OF THE COMMUNITY NEEDS ABOVE ARE NOT SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSED AS A PRIORITY, WE WILL WORK TO IDENTIFY COMMUNITY PARTNERS OR COLLABORATION OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH RELATIONSHIP BUILDING AND THE COMMUNITY GRANT PROGRAM TO ADDRESS THESE IDENTIFIED NEEDS. IN MANY INSTANCES, OUR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE FIND HELP RESOURCE AND REACH TEAM INITIATIVES DISCUSSED ABOVE WILL ALSO SERVE TO ADDRESS THESE COMMUNITY NEEDS. FINALLY, THROUGH OR SELECTION OF ACCESS TO CARE, WE BELIEVE WE CAN POSITIVELY IMPACT EACH OF THESE AREAS OF COMMUNITY NEED.

IN ADDITION, BH APPLIES NON-FPG CRITERIA TO IDENTIFY INDIVIDUALS WITH FINANCIAL NEED, CONSISTENT WITH ITS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. THESE CRITERIA INCLUDE PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY CATEGORIES, MEDICALLY INDIGENT OR CATASTROPHIC CIRCUMSTANCES, AND THE USE OF AN INDEPENDENT ELIGIBILITY ASSESSMENT TO EVALUATE FINANCIAL CAPACITY. BH ALSO CONSIDERS INFORMATION OBTAINED DURING THE FINANCIAL SCREENING PROCESS, INCLUDING INCOME AND BANK ACCOUNTS, HOUSEHOLD SIZE, AND, WHERE APPLICABLE, ASSETS THAT ARE CONVERTIBLE TO CASH. THESE ADDITIONAL FACTORS SUPPORT THE IDENTIFICATION OF INDIVIDUALS WHO MAY QUALIFY FOR FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE EVEN WHEN COMPLETE FINANCIAL DOCUMENTATION IS NOT AVAILABLE, AND ENSURE THAT PATIENTS WITH DEMONSTRATED FINANCIAL NEED RECEIVE APPROPRIATE ASSISTANCE UNDER THE POLICY. PART I, LN 7 COL(F): THE COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO UTILIZED TO CALCULATE THE AMOUNTS ON LINES 7A-7C WAS DERIVED FROM WORKSHEET 2 AS CONTAINED IN THE SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS. THE AMOUNTS FOR LINES 7E-7I ARE ACTUAL EXPENSES AND NOT BASED ON A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO. PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES: THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF BAPTIST HEALTH'S COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES IS TO IMPROVE HEALTH IN THE CENTRAL ALABAMA COMMUNITY. WHEN A PARTICULAR PHYSICIAN SPECIALTY IS DEFICIENT IN THE COMMUNITY IN COMPARISON TO THE POPULATION, IT CAN LIMIT ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE SERVICES AND RESULT IN POOR HEALTH OUTCOMES. TO RECTIFY THOSE WORKFORCE SHORTAGES, BAPTIST HEALTH MAY HELP RECRUIT PHYSICIANS WHEN A NEED IS IDENTIFIED TO ESTABLISH, ENHANCE, OR MAINTAIN A MEDICAL SERVICE IN THE AREA. TO DETERMINE NEED, BAPTIST HEALTH USES INDEPENDENT HEALTH PLANNING SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS; COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT; AND INDEPENDENTLY MAINTAINED PHYSICIAN DATABASE SOFTWARE. THESE PHYSICIAN RECRUITMENT EFFORTS MEET THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT OBJECTIVE OF IMPROVING ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES, WHICH IN TURN IMPROVES PUBLIC HEALTH. BAPTIST HEALTH RECRUITED THREE NEW COMMUNITY-BASED PHYSICIANS DURING THE FISCAL YEAR. WE WILL CONTINUE TO FIND WAYS TO RECRUIT COMMUNITY-BASED PHYSICIANS TO HELP COMBAT PHYSICIAN SHORTAGES IN THE COMING FISCAL YEAR. PART III, LINE 2: BAD DEBT EXPENSE REFLECTED IN PART III, LINE 2 REPRESENTS AMOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AS UNCOLLECTIBLE. BOTH DISCOUNTS AND PAYMENTS TO ACCOUNTS WILL REDUCE THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE, SHOULD THE ACCOUNT BE REPORTED AS BAD DEBT. THAT IS TO SAY, DISCOUNTS APPLIED TO ACCOUNTS ARE NOT REVERSED PRIOR TO DECLARING, ADJUSTING AND/OR WRITING OFF ACCOUNTS AS BAD DEBT. ALL ACCOUNTS WHICH ARE ADJUSTED TO, OR WRITTEN OFF TO, BAD DEBT ARE REVIEWED TO DETERMINE THEIR ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. IF SUFFICIENT DOCUMENTATION WAS NOT PROVIDED BY THE ACCOUNT HOLDER, BAPTIST HEALTH USES PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS TO DETERMINE IF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR ACCOUNTS ARE ADJUSTED TO, OR WRITTEN OFF TO, BAD DEBT. ORLANDO HEALTH USES DATA DERIVED FROM THIRD PARTIES WHICH INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO DEMOGRAPHIC VERIFICATION, INCOME VERIFICATION, HOUSEHOLD SIZE VERIFICATION, PAYMENT HISTORY INFORMATION, AND OCCUPATION INFORMATION. ONCE THIS DATA LOGIC IS APPLIED, IT BECOMES APPARENT IF THE ACCOUNT QUALIFIES FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. IF THE ACCOUNT DOES QUALIFY, PREVIOUS UNINSURED DISCOUNTS, BAD DEBT ADJUSTMENTS AND/OR WRITE OFFS ARE REVERSED AND THE NEW BALANCE REFLECTED IS RECLASSIFIED AS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OR CHARITY, WHICH IS REDUCED TO COST.CONSISTENT WITH THE SYSTEM'S MISSION, CARE IS PROVIDED TO PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. THEREFORE, THE SYSTEM HAS DETERMINED THAT IT HAS PROVIDED IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS TO UNINSURED PATIENTS AND PATIENTS WITH OTHER UNINSURED BALANCES SUCH AS COPAYS AND DEDUCTIBLES. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AMOUNTS BILLED TO PATIENTS AND THE AMOUNTS EXPECTED TO BE COLLECTED BASED ON THE SYSTEM'S COLLECTION HISTORY WITH THOSE PATIENTS IS RECORDED AS IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS, OR AS A DIRECT REDUCTION TO NET PATIENT REVENUE. SUBSEQUENT ADJUSTMENTS THAT ARE DETERMINED TO BE THE RESULT OF AN ADVERSE CHANGE IN THE PATIENT'S OR PAYOR'S ABILITY TO PAY ARE RECOGNIZED AS BAD DEBT EXPENSE. BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS RECORDED AS A COMPONENT OF OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES IN THE ACCOMPANYING CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS AND CHANGES IN NET ASSETS. PART III, LINE 8: THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED TO REPORT THE AMOUNT REPORTED ON LINE 6 AS MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS OF CARE RELATING TO PAYMENTS RECEIVED FROM MEDICARE WAS CALCULATED USING THE MEDICARE COST REPORT. BAPTIST HEALTH DOES NOT CURRENTLY INCLUDE MEDICARE SHORTFALL AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. HOWEVER, AS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION WE PROVIDE EMERGENCY AND REQUIRED CARE TO ALL PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR FINANCIAL STATUS. DESPITE THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL, NOT-FOR-PROFIT HOSPITALS MUST AND WILL CONTINUE TO CARE FOR THE MEDICARE POPULATION AND ACCEPT THE MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENT RATE. CARING FOR THE MEDICARE PATIENT POPULATION FULFILLS A COMMUNITY NEED AND RELIEVES A GOVERNMENT BURDEN AS THIS CLASS OF PATIENTS TYPICALLY HAS LOW AND/OR FIXED INCOMES. THE MEDICARE PATIENT POPULATION IS LARGE AND THE LACK OF SUFFICIENT REIMBURSEMENT TO COVER THE COST OF PROVIDING CARE FOR THESE PATIENTS NECESSITATES THAT NOT-FOR-PROFIT HOSPITALS USE OTHER FUNDS TO COVER THE DEFICIT. NOT-FOR-PROFIT HOSPITALS HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO WORK TOWARD IMPROVED HEALTH IN THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE AND CARING FOR THE MEDICARE PATIENTS, DESPITE THE SHORTFALL OF REIMBURSEMENT, IS A DIRECT COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND PROVIDES VALUE DIRECTLY TO THE COMMUNITIES SERVED. PART III, LINE 9B: BH MAINTAINS A WRITTEN BILLING AND COLLECTION POLICY DESIGNED TO COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS. THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT INITIATE EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION ACTIONS FOR AT LEAST 120 DAYS FOLLOWING THE INITIAL BILLING STATEMENT AND DURING THIS PERIOD MAKES REASONABLE EFFORTS TO DETERMINE WHETHER A PATIENT IS ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THESE EFFORTS INCLUDE VALIDATING OUTSTANDING BALANCES, CONFIRMING THAT AVAILABLE THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE HAS BEEN BILLED, INFORMING PATIENTS OF THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, AND SCREENING FOR PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY. BH REFRAINS FROM PURSUING EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION ACTIONS AGAINST INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE APPLIED FOR MEDICAID OR OTHER PUBLICLY SPONSORED PROGRAMS AND ARE AWAITING A DETERMINATION, AND ALSO PROHIBITS COLLECTION PRACTICES THAT WOULD INTERFERE WITH THE PROVISION OF EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE. BH DOES NOT PURSUE COLLECTION ACTIVITIES AGAINST INDIVIDUALS KNOWN TO QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. PART VI, LINE 2: IN 2025, BAPTIST HEALTH BROOKWOOD HOSPITAL, BAPTIST HEALTH PRINCETON HOSPITAL, BAPTIST HEALTH WALKER HOSPITAL, BAPTIST HEALTH SHELBY HOSPITAL AND BAPTIST HEALTH CITIZENS HOSPITAL CONDUCTED A FORMAL COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT. HOWEVER, PRIOR TO THE ASSESSMENT, BAPTIST HEALTH ANALYZED THE SERVICES NEEDED AS PART OF OUR STRATEGY, AND BUDGETING PLANNING AND DEVELOPED A PROCESS TO ENSURE THE ORGANIZATION IS RESPONSIVE TO COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS.THROUGH OUR EDUCATION, RESEARCH, AND PATIENT CARE PROGRAMS, AS WELL AS THE LAUNCH OF THE BAPTIST HEALTH COMMUNITY GRANT PROGRAM, BAPTIST HEALTH MEETS THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. THE SPECIFIC NEEDS TARGETED BY THESE PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE EXPERIENCE OF COMMUNITY HOSPITAL LEADERSHIP, NEIGHBORHOOD OUTREACH AND THROUGH ASSESSMENTS THAT IDENTIFIED HEALTH NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITIES SERVED BY THE HOSPITALS ALONG WITH HOSPITAL DATA. AS A RESULT, BAPTIST HEALTH SUPPORTS A VARIETY OF PROGRAMS FOR AT-RISK POPULATIONS, FEDERALLY DESIGNATED MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREAS AND SPECIAL NEEDS GROUPS, AS WELL AS FOR THE BROADER COMMUNITY. ADDITIONAL EXAMPLES OF HOW BAPTIST HEALTH RESPONDS TO COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ARE AS FOLLOWS:1. GOVERNING BOARDS ARE COMPOSED OF INDIVIDUALS BROADLY REPRESENTATIVE OF THE COMMUNITY, COMMUNITY LEADERS AND THOSE WITH SPECIALIZED MEDICAL TRAINING AND EXPERTISE;2. PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL GROUPS AND ASSOCIATIONS TO ATTEND TO THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF THE BAPTIST HEALTH COMMUNITY;3. SPONSORSHIP AND PARTICIPATION IN COMMUNITY FORUMS, HEALTH FAIRS, COMMUNITY FITNESS AND WELLNESS EVENTS, AND OTHER OUTREACH EVENTS; AND4. TRANSITION SERVICES POST-DISCHARGE PATIENT FOR FOLLOW-UPS RELATED TO ON-GOING CARE AND TREATMENT TO PREVENT UNNECESSARY ADMISSIONS AND POTENTIAL RE-ADMISSIONS. PART VI, LINE 3: BH USES A STANDARDIZED PROCESS TO INFORM PATIENTS AND ALL PERSONS WHO MAY BE BILLED FOR CARE, INCLUDING GUARANTORS, ABOUT AVAILABLE ASSISTANCE UNDER GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS AND ITS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY (FAP). INFORMATION ABOUT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS PROVIDED DURING PREADMISSION AND AT REGISTRATION, AND FINANCIAL COUNSELORS ARE AVAILABLE TO ASSIST PATIENTS BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER THE HOSPITAL STAY WITH SCREENING, APPLICATION COMPLETION, AND ENROLLMENT IN AVAILABLE PROGRAMS. BH EVALUATES UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED PATIENTS FOR ELIGIBILITY FOR FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL COVERAGE PRIOR TO DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY UNDER THE FAP. THE FAP, PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY, AND APPLICATION ARE AVAILABLE FREE OF CHARGE ON THE BH WEBSITE, PROVIDED AT HOSPITAL REGISTRATION AND EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT LOCATIONS, AND AVAILABLE IN PAPER FORM UPON REQUEST. THE PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY IS PROVIDED TO PATIENTS AT INTAKE AND DISPLAYED IN PUBLIC AREAS OF HOSPITAL FACILITIES. BH ALSO COMMUNICATES THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE THROUGH PUBLIC-FACING METHODS, INCLUDING SIGNAGE AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH. CONSISTENT WITH ITS POLICY, BH PROVIDES TRANSLATED MATERIALS BASED ON ANALYSIS OF THE PRIMARY LANGUAGES OF THE COMMUNITY SERVED. PART VI, LINE 4: BAPTIST HEALTH, WITH ROOTS EXTENDING MORE THAN 100 YEARS, CONSISTS OF FIVE HOSPITALS AND MORE THAN 1,700 LICENSED BEDS, MAKING IT THE LARGEST HEALTHCARE NETWORK IN CENTRAL ALABAMA. THESE FIVE HOSPITALS SPAN ACROSS A SIX-COUNTY SERVICE AREA WHICH IS COMPRISED OF CHILTON, JEFFERON, SHELBY, TALLADEGA, WALKER AND WINSTON COUNTIES, WHICH INCLUDE RURAL AND SUBURBAN COMMUNITIES. THE CURRENT POPULATION OF THE SIX-COUNTY SERVICE AREA IS 1,140,038. THERE ARE A COMBINED TOTAL OF 20 HOSPITALS THAT SERVE THIS AREA.

THE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME IS $84,154. THE PERCENT UNINSURED (AGE 0-64) IS 7.1% AND THERE IS 1 FEDERALY DESIGNATED MEDICALY UNDERSERVED AREA PRESENT IN THIS COUNTY. FOR THE BAPTIST HEALTH WALKER HOSPITAL SERVICE AREA, THE PERCENT OF HOUSEHOLDS ARE BELOW THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINE IS UNKNOWN DUE TO THE TOTAL COUNTY POPULATION AVAILABLE IS UNDER 65,000. THE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME IS $60,383. THE PERCENT UNINSURED (AGE 0-64) IS UNKNOWN DUE TO THE TOTAL COUNTY POPULATION AVAILABLE IS UNDER 65,000 AND THERE IS 1 FEDERALY DESIGNATED MEDICALY UNDERSERVED AREA PRESENT IN THIS COUNTY.

PART VI, LINE 5: THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR BHS, 20% OWNER OF THE BH JOINT VENTURE IS COMPRISED OF INDEPENDENT COMMUNITY LEADERS WHO RESIDE IN BH'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREA. BH OPERATES AN OPEN MEDICAL STAFF AND ACTIVELY RECRUITS PHYSICAIN SPECIALTIES BASED ON THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. EACH HOSPITAL OPERATES A FULL-TIME EMERGENCY ROOM OPEN TO PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. AS A PRIVATE, NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATION, THE CULTURE OF CARING AT BAPTIST HEALTH TOUCHES THE LIVES OF MANY INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES THROUGHOUT CENTRAL ALABAMA.
