PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5	AS PART OF THE CHNA PROCESS FOR ALL HOSPITALS, TELEPHONE INTERVIEWS WERE COMPLETED WITH COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS IN THE PRIMARY SERVICE AREA TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE CHANGING COMMUNITY HEALTH ENVIRONMENT. DURING THE PHONE INTERVIEWS, FEEDBACK ON THE PREVIOUS CHNA WAS SOLICITED TO EVALUATE THE PROGRESS OVER THE PRIOR THREE YEARS AND TO IMPROVE ANALYSIS AND REPORTING FOR THE CURRENT CHNA PROCESS. COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED BETWEEN THE MONTHS OF JUNE 2018 AND SEPTEMBER OF 2018. COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS IDENTIFIED FOR INTERVIEWS ENCOMPASSED A WIDE VARIETY OF PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUNDS INCLUDING: 1) PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERTS; 2) PROFESSIONALS WITH ACCESS TO COMMUNITY HEALTH RELATED DATA; 3) REPRESENTATIVES OF UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS; THE INTERVIEWS OFFERED COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY, SECONDARY DATA RESOURCES, AND OTHER INFORMATION RELEVANT TO THE STUDY. AHN HIRED A FIRM (TRIPP UMBACH) WITH EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE IN CONDUCTING CHNAS WHO WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE INTERNAL STEERING COMMITTEE FOR ALL HOSPITALS TO IDENTIFY COMMUNITY LEADERS FROM VARIOUS SECTORS WHO ARE ENGAGED IN THE COMMUNITY AND HAVE A KNOWLEDGE OF THE COMMUNITY NEEDS. AN INTERVIEW WAS CONDUCTED AND EACH COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDER WAS ASKED THE SAME SET OF QUESTIONS. THE INTERVIEWS PROVIDED A PLATFORM FOR STAKEHOLDERS TO IDENTIFY HEALTH ISSUES AND CONCERNS AFFECTING RESIDENTS IN THE SERVICE AREA, AS WELL AS WAYS TO ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS. IN ADDITION, THE PRESIDENT/CEO OF EACH FACILITY WAS INTERVIEWED. THESE INTERVIEWS ENSURED THAT THE SPECTRUM OF INTERVIEWEES INCLUDED EVERYONE FROM MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY TO THE INDIVIDUALS WHO OPERATE THE FACILITY ON A DAILY BASIS. FROM THE ONSET OF THE PROJECT, EACH HOSPITAL MADE IT A PRIORITY TO BE TRANSPARENT IN THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE NEEDS FOR EACH FACILITY. THE QUALITATIVE DATA COLLECTED FROM COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS ARE THE OPINIONS, PERCEPTIONS AND INSIGHTS OF THOSE WHO WERE INTERVIEWED AS PART OF THE CHNA PROCESS. THE INDIVIDUALS INTERVIEWED FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONDUCTING THE CHNA FOR ALL OF THE HOSPITALS INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING: 1. ANNETTE FETCHKO - ALLEGHENY HEALTH NETWORK CENTER FOR INCLUSION HEALTH 2.

PART V, SECTION B, LINE 13H ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ALL THE HOSPITALS LISTED IN PART V, SECTION A OF THIS SCHEDULE H ARE PART OF THE INTEGRATED DELIVERY SYSTEM AHN. All AHN hospitals use the uniform AHN financial assistance policy, the last to adopt being Westfield Memorial Hospital which made the adoption on 1/1/2018. AHN'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY USES A PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY PROGRAM THAT ENABLES AHN TO MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION ON THE FINANCIAL NEED OF PATIENTS UTILIZING THE BEST ESTIMATES AVAILABLE IN THE ABSENCE OF INFORMATION PROVIDED DIRECTLY BY THE PATIENT. THE HEALTH SYSTEM UTILIZES A HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY-RECOGNIZED MODEL THAT INCORPORATES PUBLIC RECORD DATA TO CALCULATE A SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL CAPACITY SCORE. THE ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY IS DESIGNED TO ASSESS EACH PATIENT TO THE SAME STANDARDS AND IT IS CALIBRATED AGAINST HISTORICAL APPROVALS FOR AHN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE TRADITIONAL APPLICATION PROCESS. THE ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY IS DEPLOYED PRIOR TO BAD DEBT ASSIGNMENT AFTER ALL OTHER ELIGIBILITY AND PAYMENT SOURCES HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED. THIS ALLOWS AHN TO SCREEN ALL PATIENTS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PRIOR TO PURSUING ANY EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION ACTIONS. THE DATA RETURNED FROM THIS ELECTRONIC ELIGIBILITY REVIEW CONSTITUTES ADEQUATE DOCUMENTATION OF FINANCIAL NEED UNDER THE AHN POLICY. WHEN ELECTRONIC ENROLLMENT IS USED AS THE BASIS FOR PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY, THE PATIENT IS NOTIFIED OF THE DETERMINATION AND THE HIGHEST DISCOUNT OF FULL FREE CARE IS GRANTED FOR ELIGIBLE SERVICES FOR RETROSPECTIVE DATES OF SERVICE ONLY. FOR RETROSPECTIVE DATES OF SERVICE ONLY.
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 16A, B, AND C	OUR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, APPLICATION FORM AND PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY CAN BE FOUND ON THE FOLLOWING WEBSITE: HTTPS://WWW.AHN.ORG/CARE-FOR-UNINSURED
PART V, SECTION B, LINE 16I	PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY AVAILABLE IN FOREIGN LANGUAGES THE HOSPITALS OF THE AHN have translated the Financial Assistance Policy into 19 languages.

THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICIES ARE TRANSLATED INTO ALL NECESSARY FOREIGN LANGUAGES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE STUDY AND PUBLISHED ON AHN'S WEBSITE AT WWW.AHN.ORG/FINANCIAL-ASSISTANCE-AHN-BILLS.

(WPAHS), AS WELL AS JEFFERSON HOSPITAL, SAINT VINCENT HOSPITAL AND WESTFIELD MEMORIAL HOSPITAL. HIGHMARK HEALTH (HH), IN TURN, SERVES AS THE ULTIMATE PARENT OF AHN AND ITS AFFILIATES.

STOP THE BLEED: AS PART OF THIS ONGOING COMMUNITY AWARENESS CAMPAIGN, AHN TRAUMA CENTER REPRESENTATIVES PARTNER WITH EMS PROFESSIONALS TO PROVIDE SCHOOL OFFICIALS WITH TRAINING ON HOW TO HELP CONTROL BLEEDING FROM INJURIES IN THE EVENT OF A MASS CAUSALLY INCIDENT. SIMILAR TO HOW HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS EDUCATE THE GENERAL PUBLIC IN CPR, THE "STOP THE BLEED" CAMPAIGN FOCUSES ON TRAINING THE GENERAL PUBLIC IN BLEEDING CONTROL TECHNIQUES. IN MASS CASUALTY INCIDENTS, INDIVIDUALS OFTEN SUFFER INJURIES THAT RESULT IN PREVENTABLE DEATHS. BY TRAINING THE GENERAL PUBLIC IN BASIC BLEEDING CONTROL TECHNIQUES, BYSTANDERS WILL BE ABLE TO INITIATE LIFESAVING MEASURES BEFORE THE FIRST RESPONDERS ARRIVE. SUMMER CAMP FOR BURN INJURED CHILDREN: IN 1986, WEST PENN BURN CENTER ESTABLISHED ITS SUMMER CAMP FOR BURN INJURED CHILDREN. THE CAMP GIVES CHILDREN WHO HAVE BEEN BURNED A CHANCE TO HEAL PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY IN A SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT THAT OFFERED PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR FUN.

PROCESS FOR DETERMINING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION	FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINES 15A AND 15B AHN follows a process for determining compensation for executive positions, (including officers, key employees and other management positions), and is covered by the Highmark Health executive compensation policy. The policy was approved by the Highmark Health board of directors. It is the policy of AHN management to compensate its executives in accordance with the market and in relation to the experience, service and accomplishments of the individual both prior to and during their service with AHN. The Highmark Health personnel and compensation committee (P&C) of the Board of Directors approves the compensation for the president and CEO of AHN and all non-hospital senior executives who report directly to the president and CEO of AHN. The personnel and compensation committee uses comparability data provided by an independent compensation consultant. The external consultant provides a letter of reasonability for all offers made to new executives that report to the AHN CEO. Each P&C committee member voting on a senior executive's compensation arrangement ensures that he or she has no conflict of interest, including that he or she (a) does not economically benefit from the proposed employment; (b) does not receive compensation subject to the approval of the proposed employee; and (c) has no material financial interest affected by the transaction. The executive compensation program for the hospital entities within the group is administered by the CEO of AHN with respect to the CEOs, COOs and CFOs of each hospital, pursuant to overall guidelines established by the personnel and compensation committee of the board of directors of Highmark Health. It is the policy of AHN to compensate its executives in accordance with competitive market practices, taking into account organizational performance and the skills, experience, qualifications and performance of each executive. AHN generally targets the median of the relevant market with reasonable variation based on each executives skills, experience, performance and current positioning relative to market. Highmark Health management, in coordination with the independent consultant to the P&C committee obtains appropriate market comparability data for each position, including nationally published compensation surveys and/or specific organization peer groups, to prepare compensation recommendations for all key executives, including officers, key employees, and other disqualified persons. Recommendations are reviewed and approved by a committee that is independent with respect to the compensation provided to the executives. Compensation may include several forms of cash compensation, including base salary, performance-based incentive compensation, and a competitive employee benefits program. Base salary is the fixed element of compensation intended to align with each executives role, responsibilities, overall performance and other contributions. Incentive compensation is used to provide variable, or "at risk" compensation, based on the performance of both the executive and the organization. Typically, AHN and hospital executives can earn incentive compensation only if the organization achieves certain pre-determined goals as approved by the P&C Committee. The plans are intended to hold executives accountable for achieving performance that is consistent with the long-term goals and objectives of the organization. All entities within the filing follow the requirement in the regulations to comply with the rebuttable presumption of the reasonableness of compensation. THE P&C COMMITTEE COMPLETED A REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE ANNUAL COMPENSATION STUDY OF CORPORATE EXECUTIVES PREPARED BY THE INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT IN JULY 2019.
