In assessing community health needs, input was solicited and received from persons who represent the broad interests of the community, as well as underserved, low-income, and minority populations. These individuals provided wide perspectives on health trends, expertise about existing community resources available to meet those needs, and insights into service delivery gaps that contribute to health disparities and inequities. RUMC is an active community partner and participating member of cross-agency coalitions serving Staten Island residents, including the following: - Staten Island Behavioral Health Infrastructure Project (BHIP), with the goal to help strengthen mental health and substance use disorder infrastructure across Staten Island systems, reduce unnecessary. hospitalizations, and increase access to quality behavioral health services. - Staten Island Performing Provider System (SI PPS), an integrated network of medical, behavioral, and social service agencies with the goal of improving quality of care, reducing costs, and improving health outcomes for Staten Island's Medicaid and uninsured populations. - Tackling Youth Substance Abuse (TYSA), an initiative aimed at decreasing the use of alcohol and prescription drugs and promoting overall healthy choices among youth. As a partner in BHIP, RUMC has most recently been active in the Staten Island Veteran Suicide Prevention Collaborative (SIVSPC), a community-based collaborative of veteran and civilian organizations. The SIVSPC provides quarterly webinars on topics relating to veteran suicide prevention and partners with the Staten Island Retired Volunteer Program to hold community-based Veterans Taskforce meetings. The collaborative also provides ongoing outreach to Staten Island veterans to assess and respond to their social determinants of health needs. RUMC was a founding member in helping construct and form the SI PPS. RUMC exited the PPS after the initial 5-year project, but remains an active participant, particularly around behavioral health initiatives. Since its formation in 2014, SI PPS has become a national model for how to use data driven strategic business intelligence to create multi-agency collaboration, improve care quality, reduce costs, and achieve population-level outcomes for people with behavioral health conditions. As part of the SI PPS, RUMC has implemented within its system the emergency department (ED) Peer Counselor Warm Handoff Program and E-Recovery Addiction Treatment Platform, among other initiatives. Both programs assist patients with substance use disorder access recovery services and supports in real time and have proven outcomes in reducing relapse and increasing treatment adherence. The RUMC Center for Young Adults is a member of the TYSA coalition to advocate for and respond to youth substance use concerns. In addition to its work with TYSA, the Center for Young Adults has been actively engaged in the community, providing education and facilitating service linkages with other youth-focused organizations. The program supervisor has targeted education to local schools and facilitated service delivery linkages with the Department of Education and a large charter school organization on Staten Island. In addition to partnering with community coalitions, RUMC fostered and deepened relationships with school districts across the borough to provide tobacco prevention education. This service was initiated in response to the 2019 CHNA identified issue of e-cigarette use among youth. In 2019 alone, RUMC provided more than 30 tobacco prevention sessions, reaching over 5,000 students across Staten Island. Other community health promotion partners have included the Jewish Community Center, Staten Island Economic Development Corporation, and Community Health Action of Staten Island. The collective initiatives of community coalitions and partners have and will continue to be integral to the CHNA and CSP. The individuals who comprise these partnerships, as well as other diverse stakeholders across the community, were invited to provide feedback as part of the 2022 CHNA to inform both priority needs and ongoing health improvement efforts.

ORG/ABOUT/COMMUNITY-hEALTH-NEEDS-ASSESSMENT/ PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11 To work towards health equity, it is imperative to prioritize resources toward the most pressing and cross-cutting health needs within the community. Priorities were determined by the RUMC CHNA Planning Committee, taking into consideration research findings and community stakeholder feedback. Based on CHNA findings and taking into account the health system's expertise and resources, RUMC will focus efforts on the following New York State Prevention Agenda priorities as part of its 2022-2024 CSP: 1) Prevent Chronic Diseases 2) Promote Well-Being and Prevent Mental and Substance Use Disorders Strategies to address the Prevention Agenda priorities will target communities on the North Shore, where residents continue to experience disparate health outcomes largely due to socioeconomic differences and racial inequities. While Staten Island is one of the wealthiest boroughs in NYC, boasting a higher median household income and the lowest poverty rate, wealth is not equally distributed across communities. North Shore residents are two to three times as likely to live in poverty as other borough residents, a disparity that disproportionately affects Black/African Americans who comprise 25% or more of North Shore residents. Across Staten Island, the median household income for Black/African Americans is nearly half the median household income for Whites, and more than 1 in 4 Black/African Americans live in poverty, a higher proportion than Black/African Americans living citywide or nationally. The RUMC 2022-2024 CSP prioritizes evidence-based strategies to address disparities and promote optimal health improvement outcomes. The following is a list of select strategies implemented by RUMC to address the identified priorities areas, and metrics for tracking progress and improvement. Breast Health Patient Navigation Initiative to address social determinants of health barriers to breast health screening, diagnosis, and treatment - Metrics: Patients who receive appropriate follow-up care regardless of identified care access barriers (e.g., transportation, cost, childcare) Community Tobacco Cessation Program, led by a Certified Tobacco Treatment Specialist - Metrics: Program enrollment, completion, and cessation outcomes Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support, led by an American Diabetes Association Certified Diabetes Care Education Specialist - Metrics: Program enrollment, completion, and health outcomes (e.g., participant glucose levels, medication adherence, decreased healthcare costs) National Diabetes Prevention Program, a CDC recognized program for adults with pre-diabetes - Metrics: Program enrollment, completion, and health outcomes (e.g., participant weight loss, glucose levels) Project LAUNCH (Linking Actions for Unmet Needs in Children's Health), a federal initiative funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to prepare children for success in school - Metrics: Child development outcomes and academic readiness Opioid Overdose Prevention Program to provide clinical and community based Narcan training and free Narcan and fentanyl test kits - Metrics: Number of people trained in Narcan administration, distribution of Narcan and fentanyl test kits, and incidence of opioid overdose and related death Peer Counselor Warm Handoff Program, connecting patients with substance use disorder seen in the ED with timely and appropriate withdrawal management and other treatment services - Improvement metrics: Number of ED interventions, provision of follow-up services, and incidence of opioid overdose Relay, a NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene-led nonfatal overdose response system - Improvement metrics: Number of ED interventions, provision of follow-up services, and incidence of opioid overdose Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) depression screening among patients with gambling addiction - Improvement metrics: Identification of coexisting mental health conditions and provision of follow-up services In addition to deploying evidence-based strategies to address disparities and identified priority areas, the 2022-2024 CSP reflects RUMC's ongoing commitment to provide free or low-cost health promotion services. These services include community-based education on diverse health topics and screening and referral services, targeting at-risk or underserved communities.

SCHEDULE H, PART I; QUESTION 6A THE ORGANIZATION ANNUALLY PUBLISHES A REPORT WHICH HIGHLIGHTS ITS ACHIEVEMENTS AS WELL AS ITS PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED. THIS REPORT IS MADE WIDELY AVAILABLE AND CAN BE FOUND ON THE ORGANIZATION'S WEBSITE. SCHEDULE H, PART I; QUESTION 7 THE ORGANIZATION'S COST TO CHARGE RATIO REFLECTS TOTAL OPERATING COSTS, EXCLUDING BAD DEBT AND OTHER OPERATING REVENUE, TO GROSS CHARGES. THE HOSPITAL UTILIZED WORKSHEET 2 OF THE SCHEDULE H INSTRUCTIONS TO DERIVE ITS COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO. SCHEDULE H, PART I, QUESTION 7B EFFECTIVE DECEMBER 1, 2021, NYS IMPLEMENTED ENHANCED PAYMENTS FOR SELECTED SERVICES PROVIDED BY FINANCIALLY DISTRESSED HOSPITALS TO MEDICAID ENROLLEES THROUGH A DIRECT PAYMENT TEMPLATE APPLICATION (DPT). THE ENHANCED PAYMENTS (MEDICAID MANAGED CARE RATE ADD-ON PAYMENTS) FOR SELECT SERVICES ARE CONSTRUCTED TO ALLOW QUALIFYING FINANCIALLY DISTRESSED HOSPITALS TO RECEIVE SUFFICIENT REIMBURSEMENT TO ENABLE THEIR CONTINUED ABILITY TO SERVE MEDICAID AND LOW-INCOME PATIENT POPULATIONS AND TO CONTINUE THEIR PROCESS OF TRANSFORMATION TO MEET MEDICAID MANAGED CARE NEEDS. THE MEDICAL CENTER QUALIFIES FOR THESE PAYMENTS. The DPT program is initially approved by NYS as part of its annual budget for fiscal years ending March 31. As a Medicaid-related program, NYS is also required to obtain CMS approval for the DPT program. CMS has approved the DPT program through March 2025. In 2022, NYS began advancing funds to hospitals in the DPT program while qualifying claims were reprocessed. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Medical Center had approximately $74.2 million and $74.6 million, respectively, in advances outstanding. Advances are to be repaid as reprocessed claims are paid to the hospitals. For the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, DPT-related revenue of approximately $60.2 million and $67.5 million, respectively, has been recognized and included in net patient service revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. SCHEDULE H, PART II NOT APPLICABLE. SCHEDULE H, PART III; QUESTIONS 2 & 3 BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS CALCULATED USING THE PROVIDERS' BAD DEBT EXPENSE FROM ITS FINANCIAL STATEMENT, WHICH IS BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS, BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, TRENDS IN MEDICARE AND MEDICAID HEALTH COVERAGE AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. ADDITIONS TO THE PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS RESULT FROM THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS; DEDUCTIONS FROM THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS RESULT FROM ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AS UNCOLLECTIBLE. THE COSTING METHODOLOGY USED TO ESTIMATE THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY WAS THE RATIO OF APPROVED CHARITY CARE APPLICATIONS TO TOTAL APPLICATIONS APPLIED TO SELF-PAY BAD DEBTS ASSOCIATED WITH PATIENTS WHO DID NOT ADEQUATELY COMPLETE THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PAPERWORK. WE BELIEVE THAT A PORTION OF OUR BAD DEBT RESULTS FROM SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO MEET THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE GUIDELINES BUT WERE UNWILLING OR UNABLE TO PROVIDE THE APPROPRIATE DOCUMENTATION TO ALLOW THAT CLASSIFICATION. THESE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS WE ARE STILL PROVIDING SERVICES TO THESE PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. SCHEDULE H, PART III; QUESTION 4 RICHMOND MEDICAL CENTER D/B/A RICHMOND UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER ("RICHMOND UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER") AND AFFILIATES PREPARE AND ISSUE AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE TEXT BELOW WAS OBTAINED FROM THE RICHMOND UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOOTNOTES: PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE --------------------------- PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE RECORDED AT NET REALIZABLE VALUE AT THE TRANSACTION PRICE BASED ON STANDARD CHARGES FOR SERVICES PROVIDED, REDUCED BY CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS PROVIDED TO THIRD-PARTY PAYORS, DISCOUNTS PROVIDED TO UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED PATIENTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MEDICAL CENTER'S POLICIES, AND/OR IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS PROVIDED TO UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED PATIENTS, AND DO NOT BEAR INTEREST. SUBSEQUENT CHANGES TO THE ESTIMATE OF THE TRANSACTION PRICE (DETERMINED ON A PORTFOLIO BASIS WHEN APPLICABLE) ARE GENERALLY RECORDED AS ADJUSTMENTS TO PATIENT REVENUEs IN THE PERIOD OF THE CHANGE. ACCOUNTS ARE WRITTEN OFF THROUGH THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS WHEN THE MEDICAL CENTER HAS EXHAUSTED ALL COLLECTION EFFORTS AND DETERMINES ACCOUNTS ARE IMPAIRED BASED ON CHANGES IN PATIENT CREDIT WORTHINESS. There have been no significant credit losses in 2024 and 2023. NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUES ---------------------------- NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUES ARE RECOGNIZED AT THE AMOUNT THAT REFLECTS THE CONSIDERATION TO WHICH THE MEDICAL CENTER EXPECTS TO BE ENTITLED IN EXCHANGE FOR PROVIDING PATIENT CARE. THESE AMOUNTS ARE DUE FROM PATIENTS, THIRD PARTY PAYORS (INCLUDING COMMERCIAL AND GOVERNMENTAL PROGRAMS) AND OTHERS AND INCLUDES VARIABLE CONSIDERATION FOR RETROACTIVE REVENUE ADJUSTMENTS DUE TO SETTLEMENT OF AUDITS, REVIEWS AND INVESTIGATIONS. GENERALLY, THE MEDICAL CENTER BILLS THE PATIENTS AND THIRD PARTY PAYORS SEVERAL DAYS AFTER THE SERVICES ARE PERFORMED AND/OR THE PATIENT IS DISCHARGED FROM THE FACILITY. REVENUES ARE RECOGNIZED AS PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS ARE SATISFIED. PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS ARE DETERMINED BASED ON THE NATURE OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE MEDICAL CENTER. REVENUES FOR PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS SATISFIED OVER TIME ARE RECOGNIZED BASED ON ACTUAL CHARGES INCURRED IN RELATION TO TOTAL EXPECTED (OR ACTUAL) CHARGES. THE MEDICAL CENTER BELIEVES THAT THIS METHOD PROVIDES A FAITHFUL DEPICTION OF THE TRANSFER OF SERVICES OVER THE TERM OF THE PERFORMANCE OBLIGATION BASED ON THE INPUTS NEEDED TO SATISFY THE OBLIGATION. GENERALLY, PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS SATISFIED OVER TIME RELATE TO PATIENTS RECEIVING INPATIENT ACUTE CARE SERVICES. THE MEDICAL CENTER MEASURES THE PERFORMANCE OBLIGATION FROM ADMISSION INTO THE HOSPITAL, OR THE COMMENCEMENT OF AN OUTPATIENT SERVICE, TO THE POINT WHEN IT IS NO LONGER REQUIRED TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO THAT PATIENT, WHICH IS GENERALLY AT THE TIME OF DISCHARGE OR COMPLETION OF THE OUTPATIENT SERVICES. REVENUES FOR PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS SATISFIED AT A POINT-IN-TIME ARE GENERALLY RECOGNIZED WHEN GOODS OR SERVICES ARE PROVIDED, AND THE MEDICAL CENTER DOES NOT BELIEVE IT IS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SERVICES TO THE PATIENT. ALL OF THE MEDICAL CENTER'S PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS RELATE TO CONTRACTS WITH A DURATION OF LESS THAN ONE YEAR, THEREFORE THE MEDICAL CENTER HAS ELECTED TO APPLY THE OPTIONAL EXEMPTIONS PROVIDED IN FASB ASC 606-10-50-14(A) AND AS A RESULT IS NOT REQUIRED TO DISCLOSE THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF THE TRANSACTION PRICE ALLOCATED TO PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS THAT ARE UNSATISFIED OR PARTIALLY UNSATISFIED AT THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD. THE UNSATISFIED OR PARTIALLY UNSATISFIED PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS REFERRED TO ABOVE ARE PRIMARILY RELATED TO INPATIENT ACUTE CARE SERVICES AT THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD. THE PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS FOR THESE CONTRACTS ARE GENERALLY COMPLETED WHEN THE PATIENTS ARE DISCHARGED, WHICH GENERALLY OCCURS WITHIN DAYS OR WEEKS OF THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD. THE MEDICAL CENTER DETERMINES THE TRANSACTION PRICE BASED ON STANDARD CHARGES FOR SERVICES PROVIDED, REDUCED BY CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS PROVIDED TO THIRD PARTY PAYORS, DISCOUNTS PROVIDED TO UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED PATIENTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MEDICAL CENTER'S POLICIES AND/OR IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS PROVIDED TO UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED PATIENTS. THE MEDICAL CENTER DETERMINES ITS ESTIMATES OF CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS AND DISCOUNTS BASED ON CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENTS, ITS DISCOUNT POLICIES AND HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE. THE MEDICAL CENTER DETERMINES ITS ESTIMATES OF IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS BASED ON ITS HISTORICAL COLLECTION EXPERIENCE WITH A RESPECTIVE CLASS OF PATIENT. THE MEDICAL CENTER HAS ELECTED THE PRACTICAL EXPEDIENT ALLOWED UNDER FASB ASC 606-10-32-18 AND DOES NOT ADJUST THE PROMISED AMOUNT OF CONSIDERATION FROM PATIENTS AND THIRD PARTY PAYORS FOR THE EFFECTS OF A SIGNIFICANT FINANCING COMPONENT DUE TO THE MEDICAL CENTER'S EXPECTATION THAT THE PERIOD BETWEEN THE TIME THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED TO A PATIENT AND THE TIME THAT THE PATIENT OR A THIRD PARTY PAYOR PAYS FOR THAT SERVICE WILL BE ONE YEAR OR LESS. THE MEDICAL CENTER DOES, IN CERTAIN INSTANCES, ENTER INTO PAYMENT AGREEMENTS WITH PATIENTS THAT ALLOW PAYMENTS IN EXCESS OF ONE YEAR, HOWEVER, IN THESE CASES THE FINANCING COMPONENT IS NOT DEEMED TO BE SIGNIFICANT TO THE CONTRACT. CHARITY CARE ------------ THE MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDES CHARITY CARE TO PATIENTS WHO MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ITS ESTABLISHED RATES. THE MEDICAL CENTER PROVIDES FREE CARE OR SLIDING FEE SCALES BASED ON FEDERAL POVERTY INCOME GUIDELINES OR WHEN IT IS DETERMINED THAT THE PATIENTS ARE UNABLE TO FULFILL THEIR OBLIGATIONS TO THE MEDICAL CENTER. BECAUSE THE MEDICAL CENTER DOES NOT PURSUE COLLECTION OF AMOUNTS DETERMINED TO QUALIFY AS CHARITY CARE, THEY ARE NOT REPORTED AS REVENUES. SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B; QUESTION 8 MEDICARE COSTS WERE DERIVED FROM THE 2024 MEDICARE COST REPORT. THE ORGANIZATION FEELS THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL), BAD DEBT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. AS OUTLINED MORE FULLY BELOW, THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT THESE SERVICES AND RELATED COSTS PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE AND ARE RENDERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITABLE TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES AND MISSION IN PROVIDING MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUALS IN A NON-DISCRIMINATORY MANNER WITHOUT REGARD TO RACE, COLOR, CREED, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN OR ABILITY TO PAY AND CONSISTENT WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD PROMULGATED BY THE IRS. THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IS THE CURRENT STANDARD FOR A HOSPITAL FOR RECOGNITION AS A TAX-EXEMPT AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE ("IRC") 501(C)(3). THE ORGANIZATION IS RECOGNIZED AS A TAX-EXEMPT ENTITY AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER 501(C)(3) OF THE IRC. ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO DEFINITION IN THE TAX CODE FOR THE TERM "CHARITABLE" A REGULATION PROMULGATED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY PROVIDES SOME GUIDANCE AND STATES THAT "THE TERM CHARITABLE IS USED IN SECTION 501(C)(3) IN ITS GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE,PROVIDES EXAMPLES OF CHARITABLE PURPOSES, INCLUDING THE RELIEF OF THE POOR OR UNPRIVILEGED; THE PROMOTION OF SOCIAL WELFARE; AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION, RELIGION, AND SCIENCE. NOTE IT DOES NOT EXPLICITLY ADDRESS THE ACTIVITIES OF HOSPITALS. IN THE ABSENCE OF EXPLICIT STATUTORY OR REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS APPLYING THE TERM "CHARITABLE" TO HOSPITALS, IT HAS BEEN LEFT TO THE IRS TO DETERMINE THE CRITERIA HOSPITALS MUST MEET TO QUALIFY AS IRC 501(C)(3) CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS. THE ORIGINAL STANDARD WAS KNOWN AS THE CHARITY CARE STANDARD. THIS STANDARD WAS REPLACED BY THE IRS WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD WHICH IS THE CURRENT STANDARD. CHARITY CARE STANDARD IN 1956, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 56-185, WHICH ADDRESSED THE REQUIREMENTS HOSPITALS NEEDED TO MEET IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR IRC 501(C)(3) STATUS. ONE OF THESE REQUIREMENTS IS KNOWN AS THE "CHARITY CARE STANDARD." UNDER THE STANDARD, A HOSPITAL MUST PROVIDE, TO THE EXTENT OF ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY, FREE OR REDUCED-COST CARE TO PATIENTS WHO CANNOT PAY FOR SUCH SERVICES. A HOSPITAL THAT EXPECTED FULL PAYMENT DID NOT, ACCORDING TO THE RULING, PROVIDE CHARITY CARE BASED ON THE FACT THAT SOME PATIENTS ULTIMATELY FAILED TO PAY. THE RULING EMPHASIZED THAT A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE DID NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT A HOSPITAL HAD FAILED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENT SINCE THAT LEVEL COULD REFLECT ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PROVIDE SUCH CARE. THE RULING ALSO NOTED THAT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED COMMUNITY HOSPITALS WOULD NORMALLY QUALIFY AS CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS BECAUSE THEY SERVE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY AND A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE WOULD NOT AFFECT A HOSPITAL'S EXEMPT STATUS IF IT WAS DUE TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY'S LACK OF CHARITABLE DEMANDS. COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IN 1969, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH "REMOVED" FROM REVENUE RULING 56-185 "THE REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO CARING FOR PATIENTS WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT RATES BELOW COST." UNDER THE STANDARD DEVELOPED IN REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE "COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD," HOSPITALS ARE JUDGED ON WHETHER THEY PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF A BROAD CLASS OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE RULING INVOLVED A HOSPITAL THAT ONLY ADMITTED INDIVIDUALS WHO COULD PAY FOR THE SERVICES (BY THEMSELVES, PRIVATE INSURANCE, OR PUBLIC PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICARE), BUT OPERATED A FULL-TIME EMERGENCY ROOM THAT WAS OPEN TO EVERYONE. THE IRS RULED THAT THE HOSPITAL QUALIFIED AS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION BECAUSE IT PROMOTED THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN ITS COMMUNITY. THE IRS REASONED THAT BECAUSE THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH WAS A CHARITABLE PURPOSE ACCORDING TO THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY, IT FELL WITHIN THE "GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE" OF THE TERM "CHARITABLE," AS REQUIRED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY REG. 1.501(C)(3)-1(D)(2). THE IRS RULING STATED THAT THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH, LIKE THE RELIEF OF POVERTY AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION AND RELIGION, IS ONE OF THE PURPOSES IN THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY THAT IS DEEMED BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE EVEN THOUGH THE CLASS OF BENEFICIARIES ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A DIRECT BENEFIT FROM ITS ACTIVITIES DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, SUCH AS INDIGENT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, PROVIDED THAT THE CLASS IS NOT SO SMALL THAT ITS RELIEF IS NOT OF BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. THE IRS CONCLUDED THAT THE HOSPITAL WAS "PROMOTING THE HEALTH OF A CLASS OF PERSONS THAT IS BROAD ENOUGH TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY" BECAUSE ITS EMERGENCY ROOM WAS OPEN TO ALL AND IT PROVIDED CARE TO EVERYONE WHO COULD PAY, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT. OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HOSPITAL THAT THE IRS HIGHLIGHTED INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING: ITS SURPLUS FUNDS WERE USED TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE, EXPAND HOSPITAL FACILITIES, AND ADVANCE MEDICAL TRAINING, EDUCATION AND RESEARCH; IT WAS CONTROLLED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES THAT CONSISTED OF INDEPENDENT CIVIC LEADERS; AND HOSPITAL MEDICAL STAFF PRIVILEGES WERE AVAILABLE TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS. THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION ("AHA") FEELS THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THIS ORGANIZATION AGREES WITH THE AHA'S POSITION. AS OUTLINED IN THE AHA'S LETTER TO THE IRS DATED AUGUST 21, 2007 WITH RESPECT TO THE FIRST PUBLISHED DRAFT OF THE NEW FORM 990 AND SCHEDULE H, THE AHA FELT THAT THE IRS SHOULD INCORPORATE THE FULL VALUE OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT THAT HOSPITALS PROVIDE BY COUNTING MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: - PROVIDING CARE FOR THE ELDERLY AND SERVING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD. - MEDICARE, LIKE MEDICAID, DOES NOT PAY THE FULL COST OF CARE. FROM THE LATEST DATA PROVIDED BY THE AHA, MEDICARE REIMBURSES HOSPITALS ONLY 87 CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR THEY SPEND TO TAKE CARE OF MEDICARE PATIENTS. - MANY MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE POOR. MORE THAN 42 PERCENT OF MEDICARE SPENDING IS FOR BENEFICIARIES WHOSE INCOME IS BELOW 200 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. MANY OF THOSE MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID -- SO CALLED ELIGIBLE." THERE IS EVERY COMPELLING PUBLIC POLICY REASON TO TREAT MEDICARE AND MEDICAID UNDERPAYMENTS SIMILARLY FOR PURPOSES OF A HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND INCLUDE THESE COSTS ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT MUST BE SHOULDERED BY THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE COMMUNITY'S ELDERLY AND POOR. THESE UNDERPAYMENTS REPRESENT A REAL COST OF SERVING THE COMMUNITY AND SHOULD COUNT AS A QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT. BOTH THE AHA AND THIS ORGANIZATION ALSO FEEL THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. LIKE MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT (SHORTFALLS), THERE ALSO ARE COMPELLING REASONS THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT SHOULD BE COUNTED AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS FOLLOWS: - A SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO LOW-INCOME PATIENTS, WHO, FOR MANY REASONS, DECLINE TO COMPLETE THE FORMS REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH ELIGIBILITY FOR HOSPITALS' CHARITY CARE OR THOSE WHO DO NOT PAY ALL, OR A PORTION OF THE ALREADY DISCOUNTED BILLED AMOUNTS UNDER OUR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. A 2006 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE ("CBO") REPORT, NONPROFIT HOSPITALS AND THE PROVISION OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS, CITED TWO STUDIES INDICATING THAT "THE GREAT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT WAS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WITH INCOMES BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE." - THE REPORT ALSO NOTED THAT A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. UNLIKE BAD DEBT IN OTHER INDUSTRIES, HOSPITAL BAD DEBT IS COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT HOSPITALS FOLLOW THEIR MISSION TO THE COMMUNITY AND TREAT EVERY PATIENT THAT COMES THROUGH THEIR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. PATIENTS WHO HAVE OUTSTANDING BILLS ARE NOT TURNED AWAY, UNLIKE OTHER INDUSTRIES. BAD DEBT IS FURTHER COMPLICATED BY THE AUDITING INDUSTRY'S STANDARDS ON REPORTING CHARITY CARE. MANY PATIENTS CANNOT OR DO NOT PROVIDE THE NECESSARY, EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED TO BE DEEMED CHARITY CARE BY AUDITORS. AS A RESULT, ROUGHLY 40% OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. THE CBO CONCLUDED THAT ITS FINDINGS "SUPPORT THE VALIDITY OF THE USE OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE [BAD DEBT AND CHARITY CARE] AS A MEASURE OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT" ASSUMING THE FINDINGS ARE GENERALIZABLE NATIONWIDE; THE EXPERIENCE OF HOSPITALS AROUND THE NATION REINFORCES THAT THEY ARE GENERALIZABLE. AS OUTLINED BY THE AHA, DESPITE THE HOSPITAL'S BEST EFFORTS AND DUE DILIGENCE, PATIENT BAD DEBT IS A PART OF THE HOSPITAL'S MISSION AND CHARITABLE PURPOSES. BAD DEBT REPRESENTS PART OF THE BURDEN HOSPITALS SHOULDER IN SERVING ALL PATIENTS R SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B; QUESTION 9B ALL PATIENTS WITH SELF PAY BALANCES RELATED TO SERVICES RENDERED AT RICHMOND UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER ARE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY THROUGH A PAYMENT ARRANGEMENT OR A REDUCED FEE, BASED ON THE CRITERIA OF OUR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. A SLIDING FEE SCALE IS UTILIZED AND IS BASED UPON FAMILY INCOME AND NUMBER OF FAMILY MEMBERS. ALL PATIENTS WILL RECEIVE STATEMENTS AND/OR LETTERS AND ARE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO SATISFY THEIR OBLIGATION TO THE FACILITY PRIOR TO TRANSFER TO A COLLECTION AGENCY AND WRITE-OFF TO A BAD DEBT. PATIENTS WHO CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY ARE OFFERED INSTALLMENT PAYMENTS OR A REDUCTION IN BALANCE THROUGH THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 2 RICHMOND UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER'S (RUMC) BOARD, ADMINISTRATION AND STAFF FUNCTION FROM AN UNDERSTANDING THAT HEALTH IS THE CORNERSTONE OF A PRODUCTIVE AND POSITIVE QUALITY-OF-LIFE FOR EVERY STATEN ISLANDER. AS SUCH, OUR FOCUS IS NOT ONLY ON HEALING THE SICK, BUT ALSO UNDERSTANDING THE ROOT CAUSE OF CONDITIONS AFFECTING STATEN ISLANDERS AND WHAT WE CAN DO TO PREVENT THE DISEASE PROCESSES PREVALENT IN OUR COMMUNITY. RUMC UTILIZES A VARIETY OF SOURCES AND APPROACHES TO IDENTIFY THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY WE SERVE. COMMUNITY BENEFIT PLANNING IS FORMULATED AROUND INFORMATION GATHERED FROM CONSOLIDATING DATA FROM NEW YORK STATE AND NEW YORK CITY DEPARTMENTS OF HEALTH AND OBTAINING PERSPECTIVES FROM KEY COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS AND STAKEHOLDERS ON THE CRITICAL HEALTHCARE ISSUES FACING STATEN ISLAND. THROUGH DATA OBTAINED FROM THE NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND NEW YORK CITY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, AS WELL AS COLLABORATIONS WITH HEALTHCARE AND OTHER KEY COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS, RUMC COORDINATES A UNIFIED EFFORT TO PROVIDE PROGRAMS THAT IMPACT THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF OUR COMMUNITY. TO ENSURE OUR SERVICES ARE ALIGNED WITH THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY, WE CONDUCT A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) EVERY THREE YEARS. THIS STUDY HELPS US TO DETERMINE AND PORTRAY HEALTH STATUS, GATHER STAKEHOLDER PERSPECTIVES, DEFINE EXISTING COMMUNITY ASSETS, AND ULTIMATELY BETTER SERVE OUR COMMUNITY. RUMC REPRESENTATIVES LEAD THE CHNA AND OVERSAW RESEARCH AND STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT. STEERING COMMITTEE MEMBERS ARE LISTED BELOW, ALONG WITH THE CONSULTANT TEAM MEMBERS. COMMUNITY HEALTH CONSULTANTS ASSISTED IN ALL PHASES OF THE CHNA, INCLUDING PROJECT MANAGEMENT, DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS, AND REPORT WRITING. THE CHNA INCLUDED QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE RESEARCH METHODS TO DETERMINE HEALTH TRENDS AND DISPARITIES WITHIN STATEN ISLAND. PRIMARY STUDY METHODS WERE USED TO SOLICIT INPUT FROM KEY COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS REPRESENTING THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY. SECONDARY STUDY METHODS WERE USED TO IDENTIFY AND ANALYZE STATISTICAL DEMOGRAPHIC AND HEALTH TRENDS. SPECIFIC CHNA STUDY METHODS INCLUDED: - AN ANALYSIS OF SECONDARY DATA SOURCES, INCLUDING PUBLIC HEALTH, DEMOGRAPHIC, AND SOCIAL MEASURES; AND - A KEY INFORMANT SURVEY WITH 22 COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVES TO SOLICIT FEEDBACK ON COMMUNITY HEALTH PRIORITIES, UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS, AND PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES. SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 3 IN FURTHERANCE OF ITS CHARITABLE PURPOSES, RUMC PROVIDES HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUALS IN A NON-DISCRIMINATORY WAY, REGARDLESS OF RACE, COLOR, CREED OR ETHNICITY. RUMC CONTINUES TO PROVIDE REDUCED-FEE OR FREE CARE IN ACCORDANCE WITH PUBLIC LAW 2807(K)(9-A). ALTHOUGH NOT REQUIRED BY THIS LAW, WE DO EXTEND THIS POLICY TO INDIVIDUALS WHO MAY NOT BE QUALIFIED BASED ON THE GUIDELINES OF OUR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY BUT DO DEMONSTRATE AN INABILITY TO PAY ALL OF THEIR MEDICAL EXPENSES. AS PART OF BEST-PRACTICE CARE, RUMC IS IN COMMUNICATION WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY-BASED CONSUMER ADVOCATE ORGANIZATIONS TO BE CERTAIN THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROVISIONS OF OUR FINANCIAL AID POLICY. THE PATIENT ACCESS DEPARTMENT HAS RECEIVED SUMMARY DATA OF THE LAW AND OUR REQUIREMENTS. ASSISTANCE CONTINUES TO BE OFFERED BY OUR FINANCIAL SCREENING STAFF AND MEDICAL APPLICATION OFFICE TO THOSE INDIVIDUALS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID, AS WELL AS FINANCIAL SCREENING STAFF LOCATED IN OUR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT. RUMC POSTS THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY SUMMARY AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE CONTACT INFORMATION IN MANY DIFFERENT LANGUAGES (AS DETERMINED BY RUMC'S ANNUAL LANGUAGE NEEDS ASSESSMENT) IN LOCATIONS SUCH AS THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, INTAKE, REGISTRATION AND ADMISSION AREAS. PATIENTS ARE PROVIDED A SUMMARY OF THE POLICY AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE CONTACT INFORMATION AS PART OF THE INTAKE PROCESS AND FINANCIAL SCREENING PROCESS. PATIENT BILLS INCLUDE A STATEMENT ON FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. EVERY PATIENT SEEN IN THE FINANCIAL OFFICE HAS A DISCUSSION ON THE AVAILABILITY OF GOVERNMENT BENEFITS SUCH AS MEDICAID AND AT THE SAME TIME QUALIFICATIONS ON THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. RUMC HAS AN INTERDISCIPLINARY TEAM THAT INTERACTS WITH FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE COUNSELORS SUCH AS SOCIAL WORKERS AND CASE MANAGERS TO IDENTIFY AND ASSIST ELIGIBLE PATIENTS. STAFF TRAINING ON FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS DONE ANNUALLY THROUGH AN IN-SERVICE PROGRAM THAT INCLUDES A REVIEW OF HOW TO QUALIFY PATIENTS FOR MEDICAID AND OTHER GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS. ALL THIRD PARTIES THAT WORK FOR RUMC IN THE COLLECTION OF FEES ARE REQUIRED TO FOLLOW THE HOSPITAL'S POLICIES REGARDING PATIENT NOTIFICATION ABOUT THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. RUMC'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY CLEARLY STATES THAT MEDICAL CARE IS PROVIDED TO INDIVIDUALS IN NEED, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY AND MAKES CERTAIN THAT ALL REQUESTS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ARE EVALUATED AND PROCESSED FAIRLY AND CONSISTENTLY WITH DIGNITY, COMPASSION AND IN A RESPECTFUL MANNER, CONSISTENT WITH ITS MISSION AND VALUES. SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 4 RUMC SERVES RESIDENTS OF STATEN ISLAND, ONE OF THE FIVE BOROUGHS COMPRISING NYC. STATEN ISLAND IS DIVIDED GEOGRAPHICALLY INTO THREE AREAS: NORTH SHORE, MID-ISLAND, AND SOUTH SHORE. RUMC IS LOCATED WITHIN THE NORTH SHORE AND PRIMARILY SERVES RESIDENTS OF THIS AREA. The North Shore is Staten Island's oldest and most densely populated area. The population of the North Shore is uniquely diverse with nearly equal representation of White, Black/African American, and Latinx residents, coming from diverse countries such as Sri Lanka, Albania, Trinidad, Liberia, and the Philippines. Staten Island overall is the wealthiest of the five NYC boroughs, boasting higher median household income and the lowest poverty rate. However, wealth disparities exist across the borough, contributing to wide differences in lifestyle and health and social indicators. The highest proportion of Staten Islanders living in poverty is concentrated in the North Shore. Staten Island, including the North Shore, has been targeted for a number of revitalization efforts, including investment in small business and non-profit anchors, workforce development, and arts and culture. As one of Staten Island's largest employers, RUMC is committed to supporting these efforts with critical investments and capital improvements to answer the future healthcare needs of the community Staten Island had a total population of 495,747 as of the 2020 Census, reflecting slightly lower 10-year growth (+5.8%) than NYC (+7.7%) and the nation (+7.4%) overall. The majority of Staten Island residents continue to identify as White, but consistent with other NYC boroughs, population growth occurred exclusively among people of color. Of note, the multiracial population more than doubled from 2010 to 2020. When viewed at the zip code-level, population diversity is concentrated in the North Shore, and strengthened by a prominent immigrant community. In zip codes 10303 and 10304, approximately half of residents identify as non-White, with larger concentrations of Black/African Americans and/or Latinx. Staten Island is an aging community. Approximately 16% of residents are aged 65 or older, an increase from prior years, and slightly higher than the NYC average of 14.5%. Older adult health needs were the top identified concern for Staten Island by 41% of Key Informant Survey participants. As reported by the CDC, half of every person's health profile is determined by a combination of socioeconomic factors and physical environment, also known as social determinants of health (SDoH). Social determinants of health comprise economic stability, education access and quality, healthcare access and quality, neighborhood and built environment, and social and community context. Viewed as whole, Staten Island has an abundance of social and environmental amenities and economic and educational opportunities, making it a healthy place to live a long life. Measures for most social indicators are better in Staten Island than in other NYC boroughs and as compared to the nation, including higher income, lower and declining poverty and uninsured, and better availability of healthcare services. However, this Staten Island experience is not shared by all residents. While significant portions of the community benefit from a high quality of life, whole neighborhoods and populations experience notable disparities that often point toward underlying social inequities. Data across virtually all measures of health and social indicators consistently demonstrate that North Shore residents and Black/African Americans experience more poverty and less homeownership; achieve lower levels of education than their neighbors; are more likely to be linguistically isolated; and are less likely to receive preventive healthcare. The North Shore is a primary care Health Professional Shortage Area for Medicaid eligible residents. These disparities culminate in poorer birth outcomes, higher death rates from preventable diseases, and increased trauma. Life expectancy and premature death are key metrics of well-being and potential inequities. Staten Island overall reports high life expectancy of 81 years, but it declines to an average of 74-78 years in the North Shore. In portions of zip codes 10301 and 10304, where socioeconomic barriers are stark, life expectancy is as low as 61.9-71.5 years. Across Staten Island, the premature death rate is higher for Black/African Americans, exceeding the White premature death rate by 50%. Black/African American residents of Staten Island experience disproportionate death due to preventable and manageable chronic conditions like diabetes and heart disease. Birth outcomes for North Shore and Black/African American residents also reflect health and social inequities. While Staten Island overall reports better birth outcomes than NYC and the nation, including fewer teen births, more pregnant people receiving early prenatal care, and fewer low birth weight births, North Shore residents are less likely to experience these positive outcomes. This disparity is most evident in the infant death rate per 1,000 live births, which is more than twice as high on the North Shore than the South Shore. Similarly, across NYC, the infant death rate is more than twice as high for Black/African Americans than other racial or ethnic groups. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated socioeconomic risk factors and highlighted health inequities among people of color. Across Staten Island in 2020, more than 1 in 10 residents were unemployed and child food insecurity was projected to have increased more than 50%. While both indicators declined in 2021, the potential long-term economic and social impacts from these experiences should continue to be monitored. People of color disproportionately experienced socioeconomic hardship during the pandemic, as well as negative health outcomes. As of February 2022, the COVID-19 hospitalization rate among Staten Island Black/African American and Latinx residents was approximately 80% higher than the rate among Whites, and the death rate was approximately 50%-60% higher. Key Informant Survey responses reinforced the need to address SDoH to improve health outcomes. Approximately one-third of informants identified SDoH, such as economic stability, housing, and ability to afford healthcare as the top concerns for Staten Island. When asked to identify resources that are needed within the community to improve health and quality of life for residents, the top responses included the need for affordable, healthy foods; enhanced employment and educational opportunities; affordable healthcare; public transportation; safe, affordable housing; and supports for aging in place. While negative health indicators disproportionately impact North Shore and Black/African American residents, it is worth noting that residents across Staten Island generally experience more health challenges than their peers citywide and nationally. It is also worth noting that these challenges exist despite overall positive socioeconomic indicators, a finding that can be partially attributed to negative health risk factors like smoking and obesity. Nearly 20% of Staten Island adults report smoking cigarettes, nearly double the citywide average. Approximately 29% of Staten Island adults have obesity, the second highest average in NYC and an increase from prior years. Staten Island youth are also at risk for negative health risk factors.

THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY ESTIMATES THE NUMBER OF COLORECTAL CANCER CASES IN THE UNITED STATES FOR 2024 WAS OVER 106,000 NEW CASES OF COLON CANCER AND MORE THAN 46,000 NEW CASES OF RECTAL CANCER. IN THE UNITED STATES, COLORECTAL CANCER IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF CANCER-RELATED DEATHS IN MEN AND IN WOMEN, AND THE SECOND MOST COMMON CAUSE OF CANCER DEATHS WHEN MEN AND WOMEN ARE COMBINED. IT WAS EXPECTED TO CAUSE ABOUT 53,000 DEATHS DURING 2024. Based on the findings of Richmond University Medical Center's 2022 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA), increasing access to high quality chronic disease preventive care and management in both clinical and community settings was identified as a priority. This was determined through research to develop the CHNA, including public health and socioeconomic measures, input received from key informants, and a thorough assessment of existing services, resources, and the hospital's areas of expertise. Increasing screening rates for several chronic diseases, including colorectal cancer, was an agreed to measure to help address this identified priority. The CHNA also revealed that the colorectal cancer death rate for Staten Island is similar to the death rates for New York City and the nation. One of the most common barriers to engaging patients to have colonoscopies conducted is the unpleasantness and misconceptions about the colonoscopy prep procedure. There are currently several screening modalities available for community members to choose from beyond the traditional colonoscopy that may help get patients "through the door." The most common are take home stool tests, such as the Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT kit). In March, in recognition of National Colon Cancer Awareness month, Richmond University Medical Center distributed free at-home FIT Kits to staff and the public. Over 100 individuals requested one of the free kits. The hospital's oncology department provided free assessments and follow-up to individuals who provided completed kits. In addition to the kits distributed in March, FIT kits were also distributed at no charge during the following events that were open to the public. In total over 200 kits were distributed throughout the year, at: - The New York City Parks and Recreation Department's health fair; - The Staten Island Economic Development Corporation's annual health and wellness fair; and - RUMC's Community Day to celebrate the opening of the hospital's new Emergency Department BREAST CANCER ------------- Based on the findings of Richmond University Medical Center's 2022 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA), increasing access to high quality chronic disease preventive care and management in both clinical and community settings was identified as a priority. This was determined through research to develop the CHNA, including public health and socioeconomic measures, input received from key informants, and a thorough assessment of existing services, resources, and the hospital's areas of expertise. Increasing screening rates for several chronic diseases, including breast cancer, was an agreed-to measure to help address this identified priority. The CHNA also showed that among an analysis of the most common cancers (female breast, colorectal, lung and prostate), Staten Island has higher female breast incidence rates than the rest of New York City and the nation, but lower death rates. Throughout 2024, RUMC maintained a steady ad campaign in print, digital, and social media platforms promoting the services available at the hospital's outpatient Breast and Women's Center. Several articles were also written in the Staten Island Advance, the only daily newspaper on Staten Island, focusing on the importance of mammograms, symptoms, and risk factors for breast cancer, and additional related topics. Throughout the year, breast cancer information was made available at several community events. PROSTATE CANCER --------------- Based on the findings of Richmond University Medical Center's 2022 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA), increasing access to high quality chronic disease preventive care and management in both clinical and community settings was identified as a priority. This was determined through research to develop the CHNA, including public health and socioeconomic measures, input received from key informants, and a thorough assessment of existing services and the hospital's areas of expertise. Increasing screening rates for several chronic diseases, including prostate cancer, was an agreed-to measure to help address this identified priority because Staten Island has a higher overall cancer incidence rate compared to the rest of New York City. As our society emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic, physicians and medical professionals are finding that many individuals have not kept up with regular health checkups and/or have not followed up for conditions or symptoms that may indicate prostate cancer. According to the CHNA, Staten Island has a higher cancer incidence rate than the nation, but a slightly lower cancer death rate. Staten Island also has higher prostate cancer incidence rates than the other boroughs of New York City and the nation, but lower death rates. To promote the importance of prostate cancer health and the need for early screening, RUMC provided free prostate cancer screenings at several community events over the course of 2023. Test results were reviewed by RUMC's lab and results provided at no cost. Referrals to RUMC's Urology Services Center were made for any abnormal findings. CORE FORM, PART III, STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICES CAPITAL PROJECTS ================ NOW MORE THAN EVER, WE ARE MAKING CRITICAL INVESTMENTS AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS SO THAT RICHMOND UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER CAN CONTINUE TO ANSWER THE FUTURE HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. WITH A TOTAL INVESTMENT OF NEARLY $200 MILLION, AND OVER $108 MILLION IN FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM THE CITY, STATE, AND PRIVATE PHILANTHROPY, RUMC WILL BE REVOLUTIONIZING HEALTHCARE FOR EVERYONE. EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT -------------------- Richmond University Medical Center's new Emergency Department (ED), a multi-story state-of-the-art addition with more than twice the space of its predecessor and a host of patient amenities, is a testament to the hospital's commitment to the community. The ED occupies the ground level of a new pavilion, offering private trauma bays and treatment rooms and comprehensive specialty areas for pediatrics and urgent care. Each exam room and treatment bay has double headwalls, enabling RUMC to double the ED's capacity in the event of a patient surge. It replaces an aging and undersized Emergency Department built in 1978, when Staten Island's population was 25 percent smaller. RUMC is an American College of Surgeons (ACS) and New York State Department of Health designated Level I Adult Trauma and Level II Pediatric Trauma Center. This designation means RUMC has trained medical staff, nurses, equipment, and protocols in place to treat all adult and pediatric patients in need of emergency care. RUMC is also a nationally recognized stoke center, Staten Island's only provider of inpatient behavioral health services for adolescents, and the borough's only New York State Department of Health certified Sexual Assault Forensic Examiner (SAFE) Center of Excellence. The patient-friendly ED experience for walk-ins begins on arrival at the main entrance, now easily accessible from Castleton Avenue with an adjacent parking lot nearby. Patients take a seat in the spacious waiting area before moving into triage and to one of three private trauma bays, fully equipped and ready for rapid assessment and treatment. The former ED had only one trauma bay. New ultrasound and airway equipment in the ED facilitates surgical intervention and other lifesaving measures. Along the way, family members remain close to their patient in designated zones with comfortable seating, where they can monitor the situation and stay informed. With the Surgical Department located directly above the ED, critically ill patients will be whisked by elevator to the second-floor surgical suites. The proximity of 10 new operating rooms on the second level will cut down on travel time from the ED in life threatening situations. WINDOW UPGRADE PROJECT ---------------------- STEADFAST IN A STORM - THE FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY PROVIDED RUMC WITH FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO UPGRADE OVER 700 WINDOWS THROUGHOUT THE HOSPITAL TO PROTECT THE MEDICAL FACILITY FROM STORMS AND WEATHER-RELATED EMERGENCIES. RUMC IS THE ONLY HOSPITAL ON STATEN ISLAND NOT LOCATED IN A FLOOD ZONE. THE NEW WINDOWS WILL BE HURRICANE-FORCE RESISTANT AND PROTECT AGAINST WATER AND WIND DAMAGE. NEW MEDICAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT ------------------------------- ADVANCING CARE FOR OUR MOST CRITICAL PATIENTS - MEDICAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT (MICU) CAPACITY INCREASED FROM TEN TO FOURTEEN PRIVATE PATIENT ROOMS. ADDITIONALLY, FOUR ISOLATION/NEGATIVE PRESSURE ROOMS were INCLUDED. THERE are also LARGER FAMILY AREAS IN EACH PATIENT ROOM. TO OPTIMIZE INFECTION CONTROL, ELECTROMAGNETIC GLAZING (SMART GLASS) replaced CUBICLE CURTAINS. CO-GEN POWER PLANT ------------------ LEADING THE WAY IN ENERGY EFFICIENCY - THE NEW CO-GENERATION PLANT (CO-GEN) WAS COMPLETED IN AN EXISTING BUILDING AT THE REAR OF THE CAMPUS. IT WILL MAKE THE HOSPITAL SELF-SUFFICIENT AND ABLE TO CONTINUE OPERATING IN THE EVENT OF AN AREA POWER FAILURE. EXCESS HEAT GENERATED FROM THE ENGINES WILL BE UTILIZED TO CREATE IMPROVED AIR CONDITIONING CAPACITY FOR THE HOSPITAL. FULLY RENOVATED MOTHER/BABY UNIT -------------------------------- DELIVERING LUXURY, COMFORT, AND PRIVACY LOCATED ON THE FIRST AND SECOND FLOORS OF THE HOSPITAL, THE NEWLY RENOVATED RICHMOND COUNTY SAVINGS FOUNDATION MOTHER/BABY UNIT WILL FEATURE SINGLE-BED PRIVATE ROOMS AS WELL AS REMODELED BATHROOMS, FLOORING, WINDOWS AND LIGHTING. NEW OPERATING ROOMS ------------------- TRANSFORMING FOR THE FUTURE - THE NEW OPERATING ROOMS WILL FEATURE 10 ADVANCED AND FULLY EQUIPPED SURGICAL SUITES. PATIENTS WILL ALSO BE ABLE TO UTILIZE INCREASED PREOPERATIVE AND RECOVERY SPACE.

CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION B; QUESTION 15 THE ORGANIZATION IS AN AFFILIATE WITHIN RICHMOND MEDICAL CENTER D/B/A RICHMOND UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER ("RICHMOND UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER") AND AFFILIATES; A TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM ("SYSTEM"). THE ORGANIZATION'S GOVERNING BODY, ITS BOARD OF TRUSTEES, HAS A COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ("COMMITTEE"). THE COMMITTEE HAS ADOPTED A WRITTEN EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY WHICH IT FOLLOWS WHEN IT REVIEWS AND APPROVES THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS OF ALL EMPLOYEES SPECIFIED AS HAVING A SUBSTANTIAL INFLUENCE OVER THE ORGANIZATION ("EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP"). THE COMMITTEE REVIEWS THE "TOTAL COMPENSATION" OF THESE INDIVIDUALS WHICH IS INTENDED TO INCLUDE BOTH CURRENT AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION AND ALL EMPLOYEE BENEFITS, BOTH QUALIFIED AND NON-QUALIFIED. THE COMMITTEE'S REVIEW IS DONE ON AT LEAST AN ANNUAL BASIS AND ENSURES THAT THE "TOTAL COMPENSATION" OF EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP PERSONNEL IS REASONABLE. THE ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE COMMITTEE ENABLE THE ORGANIZATION TO RECEIVE THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS FOR PURPOSES OF INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 4958 WITH RESPECT TO THE TOTAL COMPENSATION OF CERTAIN MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP TEAM. THE THREE FACTORS WHICH MUST BE SATISFIED IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS ARE THE FOLLOWING: 1. THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT IS APPROVED IN ADVANCE BY AN "AUTHORIZED BODY" OF THE APPLICABLE TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION WHICH IS COMPOSED ENTIRELY OF INDIVIDUALS WHO DO NOT HAVE A "CONFLICT OF INTEREST" WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT; 2. THE AUTHORIZED BODY OBTAINED AND RELIED UPON "APPROPRIATE DATA AS TO COMPARABILITY" PRIOR TO MAKING ITS DETERMINATION; AND 3. THE AUTHORIZED BODY "ADEQUATELY DOCUMENTED THE BASIS FOR ITS DETERMINATION" CONCURRENTLY WITH MAKING THAT DETERMINATION. THE COMMITTEE IS COMPRISED OF MEMBERS OF THE ORGANIZATION'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES EACH OF WHOM ARE INDEPENDENT AND ARE FREE FROM ANY CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. THE COMMITTEE RELIED UPON APPROPRIATE COMPARABLE DATA; SPECIFICALLY, THE COMMITTEE OBTAINED A WRITTEN COMPENSATION STUDY FROM AN INDEPENDENT FIRM WHICH SPECIALIZES IN THE REVIEWING OF HOSPITAL AND HEALTHCARE SYSTEM EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. THIS STUDY USED COMPARABLE GEOGRAPHIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC MARKET DATA INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO SIMILAR SIZED HOSPITALS, # OF LICENSED BEDS AND NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. THE COMMITTEE ADEQUATELY DOCUMENTED ITS BASIS FOR ITS DETERMINATION THROUGH THE TIMELY PREPARATION OF WRITTEN MINUTES OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE MEETINGS DURING WHICH THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS WAS REVIEWED AND SUBSEQUENTLY APPROVED. THE ACTIONS OUTLINED ABOVE WITH RESPECT TO THE COMMITTEE AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS ONLY APPLIES TO CERTAIN SENIOR MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL. THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS OF CERTAIN OTHER INDIVIDUALS CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 990 ARE REVIEWED ANNUALLY BY THE PRESIDENT/CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER WITH ASSISTANCE FROM THE SYSTEM'S HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT. IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE INDIVIDUAL'S JOB PERFORMANCE DURING THE YEAR, COMPENSATION IS BASED UPON OTHER OBJECTIVE FACTORS DESIGNED TO ENSURE THAT REASONABLE AND FAIR MARKET VALUE COMPENSATION IS PAID BY RICHMOND UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER.
