PART I, LINE 7:	MARYLAND'S UNIQUE ALL PAYER SYSTEM INCLUDES A METHOD FOR INCLUDING UNCOMPENSATED CARE IN EACH PROVIDER'S RATES. FOR PURPOSES OF COMPLETING ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE'S FORM 990, THESE UNCOMPENSATED CARE ADJUSTMENTS TO OUR APPROVED RATE ORDER ARE NOT PRESENTED AS AN OFFSET TO THE LEVEL OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE WE PROVIDED.SINCE THE HSCRC ASSESSES HOSPITALS TO SUBSIDIZE THE STATE'S MEDICAID BUDGET DEFICIT, THESE ASSESSMENTS ARE ALSO COUNTED TOWARD COMMUNITY BENEFITS.FOR PURPOSES OF PREPARING SCHEDULE H OF FORM 990, ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE CALCULATED A COST TO CHARGE RATIO AS REFLECTED IN ITS 2016 AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO WAS USED TO REDUCE THE YEARLY CHARITY CARE PROVISION FROM CHARGE TO COST.IN ADDITION, ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE ALSO CONSIDERED GOVERNMENT ASSESSMENTS THROUGH THE STATE'S HEALTH SERVICE COST REGULATORY AGENCY AND OTHER RELATED STATE GOVERNMENT AGENCIES.ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE COMPUTED THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS BY ITS HOSPITAL FACILITIES AND AGGREGATED THE TOTAL.
PART I, LINE 7G:	SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES INCLUDED PAYMENTS FOR NON-EMPLOYED BUT HOSPITAL-BASED PHYSICIANS, NON-RESIDENT HOSPITAL STAFF, HOSPITALISTS, EMERGENCY ON-CALL, OFF-CAMPUS EMERGENCY CENTER, AND WOMEN'S AND CHILDREN'S SERVICES SUBSIDIES.
PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES:	ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE, INC. CONTRIBUTED TO NUMEROUS COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES AS PART OF FULFILLING ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE'S MISSION. ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE'S MISSION IS "WE EXTEND GOD'S CARE THROUGH THE MINISTRY OF PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL HEALING." ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE GOES BEYOND TRADITIONAL HOSPITAL CARE TO OFFER EXPERTISE AND RESOURCES THAT HELP STRENGTHEN THE COMMUNITY'S INFRASTRUCTURE IN A WAY THAT PROMOTES HEALTH AND WELL-BEING.IN 2016, A MAJORITY OF ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE'S COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES CONSISTED OF: POPULATION HEALTH INITIATIVES AND ASSISTING PHYSICIANS IN ESTABLISHING ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS (EMR) SYSTEMS; ADVOCATING ON COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENTS THROUGH OUR GOVERNMENT RELATIONS AND PUBLIC POLICY DEPARTMENT; PERFORMING DISASTER PREPAREDNESS ACTIVITIES; CREATING HEALTH PARTNERSHIPS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY THROUGH OUR DIVISION OF THE CENTER FOR HEALTH EQUITY & WELLNESS DEPARTMENT; AND ESTABLISHING ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS.POPULATION HEALTH INITIATIVES & THE AMBULATORY CARE EMR SUPPORT (ACES) PROGRAM:1) ACCOUNTABLE CARE ORGANIZATIONS (ACO):ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE HAS A 50% INTEREST IN THE MID-ATLANTIC PRIMARY CARE ACO, LLC PARTNERSHIP. THIS ACO IS A PHYSICIAN-LED MEDICARE SHARED SAVINGS PROGRAM (MSSP) IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MARYLAND. THE GOAL OF AN ACO IS TO DELIVER SEAMLESS, HIGH-QUALITY CARE FOR MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES IN A PATIENT-CENTERED ENVIRONMENT, WHERE THE PATIENT AND PROVIDERS ARE TRUE PARTNERS IN CARE DECISIONS. THE GOAL OF THE ACO INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO, THE PROMOTION OF EVIDENCE-BASED MEDICINE, THE PROMOTION OF PATIENT ENGAGEMENT AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INFRASTRUCTURE FOR NETWORK PROVIDERS AND SUPPLIERS TO INTERNALLY REPORT ON QUALITY AND COST METRICS. THIS INTERNAL REPORTING ENABLES THE ACO TO MONITOR, PROVIDE FEEDBACK AND EVALUATE ITS NETWORK PROVIDERS AND SUPPLIERS' PERFORMANCE AND TO USE THESE RESULTS TO PROVIDE BETTER CARE FOR INDIVIDUALS, IMPROVED HEALTH FOR POPULATIONS AND LOWER PER CAPITA GROWTH IN EXPENDITURES FOR MSSP ENROLLEES.2) CLINICALLY INTEGRATED NETWORK: ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE MANAGES THE ONE HEALTH QUALITY ALLIANCE, LLC (OHQA) PARTNERSHIP 100%, A CLINICALLY INTEGRATED NETWORK DESIGNED TO HELP PROVIDERS ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF HEALTHCARE AND LOWER TOTAL COSTS FOR THE WASHINGTON, D.C. REGION. OHQA, MANAGED BY ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE, IS AN INNOVATIVE HEALTHCARE DELIVERY NETWORK IN WHICH PARTICIPATING PRACTICES AND THEIR PATIENTS BENEFIT FROM THE VALUE CREATED BY THE ALLIANCE.3) PRIMARY CARE:ADVENTIST PHYSICIAN SERVICES, INC. D/B/A ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE ADVENTIST MEDICAL GROUP IS A DIVISION OF ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE AND AN AFFILIATE OF THE GW MEDICAL FACULTY ASSOCIATES. IT INCLUDES TEN PRIMARY CARE PRACTICES AND 34 SPECIALTY PRACTICES. THE GOAL OF THESE PRACTICES IS TO PROVIDE ACCESSIBLE, HIGH-QUALITY CARE TO THE COMMUNITY. TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL, THE STRATEGIES INCLUDE SUPERB ACCESS TO CARE, PATIENT ENGAGEMENT IN CARE, CLINICAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS INTEGRATION AND PATIENT REGISTRY CARE COORDINATION.4) AMBULATORY CARE EMR SUPPORT (ACES) PROGRAM:ADVOCATING FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENTS IS A CORE STRATEGY IN ACHIEVING ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE'S MISSION. A PROGRAM THAT ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE OFFERS, WHICH IS AT THE CORE OF ADVOCATING FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENTS, IS AMBULATORY CARE EMR SUPPORT (ACES). THE ACES PROGRAM ASSISTS COMMUNITY PHYSICIANS WITH THE ACQUISITION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS (EMRS). EMRS ENHANCE PATIENT CARE AND MAKES PRACTICES MORE EFFICIENT.GOVERNMENT RELATIONS AND PUBLIC POLICY DEPARTMENT INITIATIVES:THROUGHOUT 2016, ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE WAS AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT WITHIN A NUMBER OF COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS AS PART OF OUR EFFORTS TO ADVOCATE FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO COMMUNITY HEALTH AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. THROUGH OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE, INCLUDING THE GAITHERSBURG-GERMANTOWN AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY CHAMBERS, WE HAVE WORKED TO SUPPORT INITIATIVES THAT PROVIDE ECONOMIC IMPROVEMENTS IN THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE.ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE HAS ALSO BEEN A FIRM ADVOCATE FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENTS THROUGH OUR ADVOCACY WORK WITH LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL OFFICIALS. WHETHER WORKING DIRECTLY WITH ELECTED OFFICIALS OR THE COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, WE HAVE WORKED TO SUPPORT LEGISLATION THAT IMPROVES ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES, STRENGTHENS INVESTMENT IN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, EXPANDS ACCESS TO INSURANCE AND REDUCES OVERALL HEALTH CARE SPENDING. THROUGH OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE MARYLAND HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION, WE WORKED EXTENSIVELY ON LEGISLATION RELATED TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH FUNDING AND SUPPORT FOR A BEHAVIORAL HEALTH TASK FORCE TO ADDRESS ISSUES AND POLICY SOLUTIONS. WE WERE ACTIVELY ENGAGED WITH THE MENTAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION OF MARYLAND TO PROVIDE GREATER ACCESS TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR THOSE WHO NEED IT BY REDUCING BARRIERS TO ENTRY FOR CARE, SUCH AS PROVIDING TELEMEDICINE SERVICES IN UNDERSERVED AREAS, ATTRACTING MORE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROVIDERS TO MARYLAND AND ADDRESSING BED CAPACITY ISSUES.DISASTER PREPAREDNESS ACTIVITIES:ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE TOOK MANY MEASURES TO ENSURE OUR COMMUNITY HOSPITALS WERE READY AND PREPARED FOR EMERGENCY SITUATIONS, SUCH AS A MEDICAL SURGE IN PATIENTS, ACTIVE SHOOTER/ARMED INTRUDER SCENARIOS AND UNFORESEEN DISASTERS. THE SAFETY MANAGEMENT AND EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS TEAM OF EMPLOYEES SPENDS A LARGE PART OF THEIR TIME ON EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT. THIS INCLUDES MONTHLY MEETINGS WITH THE HOSPITALS IN THE REGION, AS WELL AS MONTHLY MEETINGS WITH ALL ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE HOSPITALS AND OTHER RELATED AGENCIES IN THE COUNTY, SUCH AS MONTGOMERY COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND THE MARYLAND INSTITUTE FOR EMERGENCY MEDICINE SERVICE SYSTEMS. OUR TEAM PREFORMS TWO FULL SCALE EXERCISES EVERY YEAR, TO TEST OUR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS, WHICH INVOLVES THE SIMULATION OF AN EMERGENCY OR DISASTER TO WHICH WE AND THE REST OF THE REGION MUST BE READY TO RESPOND TOGETHER. ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE ALSO HAS AN ENVIRONMENT OF CARE COMMITTEE, WHICH MEETS MONTHLY AT EACH OF OUR HOSPITALS. TIME IS ALLOCATED TO DISCUSS EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT MATTERS AT THESE MEETINGS.HEALTH PARTNERSHIPS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY - THE CENTER FOR HEALTH EQUITY & WELLNESS:THE CENTER FOR HEALTH EQUITY & WELLNESS (CHEW), A DIVISION OF ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE, AIMS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF COMMUNITIES SERVED BY ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE. IT DOES THIS BY RAISING AWARENESS OF COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS AND LOCAL DISPARITIES, IMPROVING ACCESS TO CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE CARE AND PROVIDING COMMUNITY WELLNESS OUTREACH AND EDUCATION. A TEAM OF HEALTH EDUCATORS, CLINICAL CARE COORDINATORS, NURSES, PATIENT NAVIGATORS AND PUBLIC HEALTH RESEARCHERS AND INTERNS WORK TOGETHER TO ENSURE THE DELIVERY OF POPULATION-BASED CARE AND PROMOTE HEALTH EQUITY IN THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. CHEW PARTNERED WITH MANY HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS AND THE FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY:1) FAITH COMMUNITY NURSE NETWORK (FCN):ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE, THROUGH OUR FAITH COMMUNITIES HEALTH NETWORK, SERVES THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES OF FAITH BY "PROVIDING GUIDANCE AND EXPERTISE, EMPOWERING THEM TO BECOME PLACES OF HEALTH AND HEALING, RESULTING IN IMPROVED WHOLE PERSON HEALTH" (MISSION). OUR VISION SPEAKS TO THE PARTNERSHIP WITH COMMUNITIES OF FAITH AND TOGETHER WE CAN HELP ACHIEVE A "THRIVING CULTURE DEMONSTRATING PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL HEALING." LASTLY, OUR COMMITMENT IS TO HELP OUR COMMUNITIES OF FAITH TO DEVELOP STRONG HEALTH MINISTRIES TO REACH THE MEMBERS AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH THE ON-GOING TRAINING OF THE FAITH COMMUNITY NURSES, HEALTH MINISTERS, HEALTH TEAMS AND ADMINISTRATORS, SUPPLYING EVIDENCE-BASED EDUCATION AND TOOLS NECESSARY TO ASSESS THE NEEDS, OUTLINE LIFESTYLE STRATEGIES, IMPLEMENT HEALTH PROGRAMMING (BASED ON ASSESSMENT RESULTS), IDENTIFICATION AND MANAGEMENT OF DISEASE RISK FACTORS TO LOWER RISKS, ON-GOING MEASUREMENT AND EVALUATION OF HEALTH OUTCOMES, THEREBY INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR OPTIMAL HEALTH AND WHOLENESS. LOCAL CHURCHES CAN BRING A HOLISTIC PERSPECTIVE TO AN UNDERSTANDING OF HEALTH AS BEING IN HARMONY WITH ONES SELF, ONE'S GOD, OTHERS AND THE ENVIRONMENT. THE CHURCH IS A KNOWN AND TRUSTED PLACE WHERE PEOPLE FEEL COMFORTABLE IN THEIR MOST VULNERABLE HOUR. IT IS A NATURAL "REFERENCE POINT." IT IS NOT A NEW IDEA FOR CHURCHES TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT HEALTH PROGRAMS. AT ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE, WE BELIEVE THIS TO BE A NATURAL, SYMBIOTIC PARTNERSHIP.
PART III, LINE 2:	TO ESTIMATE THE COST OF BAD DEBT THAT WE HAVE REPORTED ON SCHEDULE H, WE MULTIPLIED THE ORGANIZATION'S COST TO CHARGE RATIO (CCR) TIMES THE BAD DEBT PROVISION THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED IN THE 2016 AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE ORGANIZATION'S CCR IS THE QUOTIENT THAT RESULTS WHEN TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSE IS DIVIDED BY TOTAL CHARGES AS REFLECTED ON THE ORGANIZATION'S AUDITED INCOME STATEMENT.THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE THAT IS RECORDED IN THE GENERAL LEDGER REFLECTS THE AMOUNT OF PROVISION MANAGEMENT DEEMS NECESSARY TO REPORT PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AT THEIR NET REALIZABLE VALUE. IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTABILITY OF PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, WE ANALYZE PAST HISTORY AND TRENDS FOR EACH MAJOR PAYER AND ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL COLLECTIONS.
PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES, CONTINUED:	2) INTERAGENCY COMMISSION ON HOMELESSNESS (ICH):THE INTERAGENCY COMMISSION ON HOMELESSNESS (ICH) IS A COLLABORATIVE GROUP OF REPRESENTATIVES FROM PUBLIC, PRIVATE AND GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS WHO COME TOGETHER TO PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE AND COUNTY COUNCIL ON BEHALF OF THE HOMELESS RESIDENTS OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY. KIM EMERSON FROM ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE SERVES AS THE HOSPITAL REPRESENTATIVE ON THE ICH, AND CHAIRS THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH/HOSPITAL & JAIL COMMITTEE, WHERE DISCUSSIONS TAKE PLACE ABOUT THE GAPS IN RESOURCES FOR HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS DISCHARGING FROM THE HOSPITAL OR BEING RELEASED FROM THE JAIL SYSTEM. THE COMMITTEE DISCUSSES WAYS TO PARTNER TO IMPROVE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN HOSPITALS AND COMMUNITY-BASED HOMELESS PROVIDERS, AS WELL AS IMPROVES DISCHARGE PLANNING. THE COMMITTEE IS EXPLORING THE CONCEPT OF MEDICAL RESPITE CARE TO ADDRESS THE UNIQUE MEDICAL, PSYCHIATRIC AND SOCIAL SERVICES NEEDS OF HOMELESS PERSONS DISCHARGING FROM THE HOSPITAL. THROUGH ITS INVOLVEMENT IN THE ICH, ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE HAS BUILT STRONGER RELATIONSHIPS WITH COMMUNITY-BASED HOMELESS SERVICES PROVIDERS AND THE CASE MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENTS AT OTHER LOCAL HOSPITALS. 3) MARYLAND COMMUNITY RESEARCH ADVISORY BOARD (MD-CRAB):THE MARYLAND COMMUNITY RESEARCH ADVISORY BOARD (MD-CRAB) IS COMPRISED OF HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, ACADEMICS, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS. FORMED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND CENTER FOR HEALTH EQUITY, THE MD-CRAB WORKS TO ENSURE THAT LOCAL HEALTH RESEARCH RESULTS BENEFIT VULNERABLE POPULATIONS, IN PARTICULAR AFRICAN AMERICANS AND LATINOS. THE MD-CRAB SERVES SEVERAL FUNCTIONS, INCLUDING GENERATING MEANINGFUL RESEARCH QUESTIONS; INCREASING AWARENESS AROUND BOTH THE RISKS AND BENEFITS OF PARTICIPATING IN PUBLIC HEALTH AND MEDICAL RESEARCH; SERVING AS A SOUNDING BOARD FOR RESEARCHERS TO PRESENT THEIR IDEAS AND RECEIVE FEEDBACK FROM COLLEAGUES AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS; AND VOICING THE CONCERNS OF UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS TO POLICY MAKERS. IN ENACTING EACH OF THESE FUNCTIONS, THE OVERARCHING GOAL OF THE MD-CRAB IS TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE ELIMINATION OF RACIAL AND ETHNIC HEALTH DISPARITIES BY BUILDING TRUST BETWEEN COMMUNITIES AND RESEARCHERS. ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE HAS BEEN WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE MD-CRAB SINCE ITS INCEPTION. MARILYN LYNK, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE CENTER FOR HEALTH EQUITY & WELLNESS IS A FOUNDING MEMBER. THROUGH THE WORK OF THE MD-CRAB, ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHAPE AND GUIDE LOCAL RESEARCH THROUGH A HEALTH EQUITY LENS IN ORDER TO TRULY BENEFIT THE COMMUNITIES AT ITS CENTER. OUR WORK WITH THE MD-CRAB HAS ALSO LED TO COLLABORATION OPPORTUNITIES ON LOCAL PROGRAMS AND RESEARCH TAKING PLACE. MOST RECENTLY, WE HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH THE MARYLAND CENTER FOR HEALTH EQUITY ON THEIR "HEALTH ADVOCATES IN-REACH AND RESEARCH" (HAIR) PROGRAM. FOCUSING ON THE AFRICAN AMERICAN POPULATION IN PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, THE GOAL OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO MOBILIZE BARBERSHOPS AND BEAUTY SALONS IN PROMOTING HEALTH EDUCATION, PARTICULARLY AROUND COLORECTAL CANCER SCREENING. THROUGH THIS PROGRAM, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HELP BUILD TRUST AND MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE BARBERSHOPS, SALONS, AND THE COMMUNITY. SUPPLEMENTING THE COLORECTAL CANCER EDUCATION, OUR HEALTH EDUCATORS HAVE BEEN CONDUCTING REGULAR SCREENINGS SUCH AS BLOOD PRESSURE, CARBON MONOXIDE, AND BODY COMPOSITION AT PARTICIPATING BARBERSHOP AND SALON LOCATIONS. IN ADDITION TO THE SCREENINGS, OUR HEALTH EDUCATORS ALSO CONNECT COMMUNITY MEMBERS WITH FREE HEALTH RESOURCES SUCH AS PRE-DIABETES CLASSES AND TOBACCO CESSATION PROGRAMS OFFERED BY ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE.4) HEALTHY MONTGOMERY:HEALTHY MONTGOMERY IS THE LOCAL HEALTH IMPROVEMENT COALITION FOR MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MARYLAND. ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE PARTNERS WITH AND SUPPORTS HEALTHY MONTGOMERY BOTH STRATEGICALLY AND FINANCIALLY. REPRESENTATIVES FROM ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE SIT ON THE HEALTHY MONTGOMERY STEERING COMMITTEE, THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH WORKGROUP, AND THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT COMMITTEE, AMONG OTHERS. ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE ALSO CONTRIBUTES $50,000 ANNUALLY TO SUPPORT THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF HEALTHY MONTGOMERY. HEALTHY MONTGOMERY, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS SUCH AS LOCAL POLICY MAKERS, HOSPITALS, ADVOCACY GROUPS AND ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS, AMONG OTHERS, REVIEWS THE NEEDS AND RESOURCES IN THE COUNTY AND WORKS TO SET PRIORITIES FOR IMPROVING HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. THE OVERALL GOALS OF HEALTHY MONTGOMERY ARE TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES, ACHIEVE HEALTH EQUITY FOR ALL RESIDENTS, AND ENHANCE THE PHYSICAL AND SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT TO SUPPORT OPTIMAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. AMONG ITS MANY ACCOMPLISHMENTS, HEALTHY MONTGOMERY HAS BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE LOCAL LEVEL DATA THAT IS STRATIFIED BY SEX, AGE, RACE, AND ETHNICITY. BY MAKING THIS DATA MORE EASILY AVAILABLE, COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS, ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE INCLUDED, ARE BETTER ABLE TO IDENTIFY NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY THAT MAY HAVE OTHERWISE BEEN MASKED BY LESS GRANULAR DATA. THIS ALLOWS FOR MORE STRATEGIC AND TARGETED HEALTH PREVENTION AND PROMOTION PROGRAMMING TO BE DEVELOPED.ESTABLISHING ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS:ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE PARTNERED WITH SEVERAL ORGANIZATIONS, SUCH AS WITH WASHINGTON ADVENTIST UNIVERSITY (WAU) TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE. WAU IS A CHRIST-CENTERED INSTITUTION OF HIGHER EDUCATION THAT SUPPORTS A CULTURE OF EXCELLENCE WHERE ALL FEEL VALUED AND WHICH HELPS EDUCATE FUTURE HEALTHCARE WORKERS.ANOTHER VITAL ORGANIZATION, WHICH ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE PARTNERED WITH, WAS WITH THE COLUMBIA UNION CONFERENCE OF SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS (COLUMBIA UNION). COLUMBIA UNION OVERSEES ADVENTIST ORGANIZATIONS IN MARYLAND, VIRGINIA, NEW JERSEY, DELAWARE, AND WASHINGTON D.C. TOGETHER WITH ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE, IT HELPS PROMOTE THE IMPORTANCE OF HEALTH AND WELLNESS THROUGHOUT ITS REGION.ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE AS A SYSTEM CONTINUES TO PROVIDE COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES IN 2017. PROVIDING COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES IS ESSENTIAL TO ACHIEVING AND MAINTAINING OUR MISSION.
PART III, LINE 4:	PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE REPORTED AT NET REALIZABLE VALUE. ACCOUNTS ARE WRITTEN OFF WHEN THEY ARE DETERMINED TO BE UNCOLLECTIBLE BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS. IN EVALUATING THE COLLECTABILITY OF PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, THE CORPORATION ANALYZES ITS PAST HISTORY AND IDENTIFIES TRENDS FOR EACH OF ITS MAJOR PAYOR SOURCES OF REVENUE TO ESTIMATE THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL COLLECTIONS AND PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL COLLECTIONS. FOR PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE, THE CORPORATION ANALYZES CONTRACTUALLY DUE AMOUNTS AND PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL COLLECTIONS AND PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL COLLECTIONS, IF NECESSARY. FOR RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SELF-PAY PATIENTS (WHICH INCLUDES BOTH PATIENTS WITHOUT INSURANCE AND PATIENTS WITH DEDUCTIBLE AND COPAYMENT BALANCES DUE FOR WHICH THIRD-PARTY COVERAGE EXISTS FOR PART OF THE BILL), THE CORPORATION RECORDS A PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL COLLECTIONS IN THE PERIOD OF SERVICE ON THE BASIS OF ITS PAST EXPERIENCE, WHICH INDICATES THAT MANY PATIENTS ARE UNABLE TO PAY THE PORTION OF THEIR BILL FOR WHICH THEY ARE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BILLED RATES AND THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY COLLECTED AFTER ALL REASONABLE COLLECTION EFFORTS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED IS CHARGED OFF AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL COLLECTIONS.
PART III, LINE 8:	ACUTE CARE HOSPITALS IN MARYLAND ARE EXEMPT FROM MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENT METHODOLOGY AND ALL PAYORS (INCLUDING MEDICARE AND MEDICAID) PAY HOSPITALS' CHARGES, WHICH ARE REGULATED BY THE STATE'S HEALTH SERVICES COST REVIEW COMMISSION (HSCRC). SPECIFICALLY, MEDICARE IS AWARDED A DISCOUNT OF 6% OF CHARGES WITHOUT AN ADVANCE FUNDING DEPOSIT WITH PROVIDERS. THERE SHOULD BE NO SHORTFALL AND THEREFORE NOTHING TO COUNT TOWARD COMMUNITY BENEFIT.ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE USES ITS INCOME STATEMENT TO COMPUTE A COST TO CHARGE RATIO USED TO ESTIMATE THE COST OF PROVIDING CARE TO MEDICARE PATIENTS.
PART III, LINE 9B:	> THAT ALL PATIENTS RECEIVE A NOTICE ON FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND A PHONE CALL, BY ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE'S STAFF AND OUTSOURCED VENDORS, MENTIONING THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THEIR BILL REDUCED IF THE DEBTOR QUALIFIES FOR ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.> WHERE A DEBTOR HAS AFFIRMED A DEBT AND HAS BEEN GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO APPLY FOR ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, AND, HAS APPLIED FOR AND BEEN GRANTED ASSISTANCE THAT REDUCED THE OUTSTANDING BALANCE BUT LEAVING AN AMOUNT STILL OWED TO AN ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE FACILITY OR HAS NOT APPLIED FOR ASSISTANCE IN THE ALLOTTED TIME PERIOD:1) FOR EXISTING ACCOUNTS, THE COLLECTION AGENCY WILL RECEIVE "DAILY NOTIFICATION TO REDUCE THE OUTSTANDING BALANCE OF ANY DEBTOR WHO QUALIFIES FOR ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE AGENCY WILL SEND A LETTER TO THE DEBTOR, ACKNOWLEDGING THE NEW BALANCE WITHIN 15 DAYS OF THE NOTICE TO ADJUST.2) ONCE THE DEBTOR AFFIRMS THE DEBT, THE AGENCY WILL INFORM THE DEBTOR ABOUT ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY, AND ASK IF THEY HAD RECEIVED INFORMATION ON HOW TO COMPLETE THE APPLICATION, OR THE CRITERIA FOR QUALIFICATION.3) WHERE A DEBTOR EXPRESSES A DESIRE TO COMPLETE THE APPLICATION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, THEY WILL BE REFERRED TO THE OFFICE OF ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE'S MANAGER OF COLLECTIONS / CUSTOMER SERVICE (301-315-3660). THE COLLECTION AGENCY WILL PLACE THE ACCOUNT ON "HOLD" FOR 2 WEEKS TO ALLOW THE DEBTOR AMPLE TIME TO COMPLETE A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION.4) WHERE THE DEBTOR HAS COMPLETED THE APPLICATION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, AND BEEN APPROVED, THE AGENCY WILL RECEIVE IMMEDIATE NOTIFICATION FROM THE MANAGER OF COLLECTIONS/CUSTOMER SERVICE. NOTIFICATION WILL INCLUDE THE AMOUNT OF DEBT REDUCTION THE DEBTOR QUALIFIED FOR. THE MANAGER OF COLLECTIONS/CUSTOMER SERVICE WILL ADJUST THE DEBTOR'S BALANCE ON ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE'S BOOKS.
PART VI, LINE 2:	NEEDS ASSESSMENT:ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE, INCLUDING ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE SHADY GROVE MEDICAL CENTER, ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE WASHINGTON ADVENTIST HOSPITAL, ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE PHYSICAL HEALTH AND REHABILITATION, AND ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH & WELLNESS SERVICES, FORMED A COMMUNITY BENEFIT COUNCIL (CBC) IN 2011 TO GUIDE AND LEAD ITS COMMUNITY BENEFIT ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING CONDUCTING THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS. THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT COUNCIL HAS REPRESENTATION FROM EACH OF THE FIVE HOSPITAL ENTITIES AS WELL AS ADDITIONAL KEY SYSTEM-WIDE DEPARTMENTS SUCH AS FINANCE, POPULATION HEALTH AND THE CENTER FOR HEALTH EQUITY AND WELLNESS (THE CENTER). THE COUNCIL IS CHAIRED BY MARILYN LYNK, PHD, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE CENTER. AS A STARTING POINT FOR ASSESSING THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY, THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT COUNCIL DECIDED TO RESEARCH TOPICS IN ALIGNMENT WITH MONTGOMERY COUNTY'S "HEALTHY MONTGOMERY" FOCUS AREAS OF: CANCER, CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES, DIABETES, MATERNAL & INFANT HEALTH, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, AND OBESITY. THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT COUNCIL ALSO DECIDED TO RESEARCH ADDITIONAL TOPICS OF INTEREST TO THE HOSPITALS AND THE COMMUNITIES SERVED INCLUDING: ASTHMA, INFLUENZA, HIV/AIDS, SENIOR HEALTH, INCOME AND POVERTY, ACCESS TO CARE/HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE, FOOD ACCESS, HOUSING QUALITY, EDUCATION, AND TRANSPORTATION. THE TOPICS INCLUDED IN THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS WERE REVIEWED, DISCUSSED AND APPROVED BY THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT ADVISORY BOARD AND BY THE BOARDS OF EACH ENTITY.SINCE 2006, ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE HAS REGULARLY CONVENED AN ADVISORY BOARD TO HELP GUIDE OUR EFFORTS TO REDUCE AND ELIMINATE HEALTH DISPARITIES, TO IDENTIFY COMMUNITY NEEDS, AND TO HELP ASSESS AND DIRECT OUR RESPONSE TO THOSE NEEDS. THE ADVISORY BOARD IS COMPRISED OF BOTH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL (COMMUNITY) LEADERS. MEMBERS INCLUDE CLINICIANS, RESEARCHERS, ADMINISTRATORS AND OTHERS FROM OUR HOSPITALS, COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS, LOCAL AND STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH (SPECIFICALLY, THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF MINORITY HEALTH AND HEALTH DISPARITIES), AND OTHER PUBLIC HEALTH STAKEHOLDER ORGANIZATIONS. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS WERE REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. AFTER COMPLETION OF THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS, THE PRESIDENT'S COUNCIL OR EXECUTIVE COUNCIL AT EACH HOSPITAL MET TO DISCUSS AND VOTE UPON FOCUS AREAS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS IDENTIFIED HEALTH NEEDS. IN ADDITION TO INPUT FROM VARIOUS BOARDS, THE COMMUNITY PERSPECTIVE WAS OBTAINED THROUGH A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT SURVEY OFFERED BOTH IN PERSON AT COMMUNITY EVENTS AND ELECTRONICALLY VIA SOCIAL MEDIA, NEWSLETTERS, EMAIL LISTSERVS, MEETINGS WITH COMMUNITY LEADERS, AND HEALTH FAIRS. ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY FEEDBACK WAS RECEIVED THROUGH FOCUS GROUPS CONDUCTED BY HEALTHY MONTGOMERY, THE LOCAL HEALTH IMPROVEMENT COALITION FOR MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MARYLAND. TO OBTAIN SECONDARY DATA FOR THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS, WE WORKED WITH MONTGOMERY COUNTY'S HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PROCESS (CHIP), TO REVIEW THE STATE OF MARYLAND'S STATE HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PROCESS' (SHIP) 39 HEALTH INDICATORS. ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE HAS REPRESENTATION ON THE HEALTHY MONTGOMERY STEERING COMMITTEE. THE GROUP'S COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS IN 2011 FOCUSED ON A SELECTION PROCESS FOR MONTGOMERY COUNTY'S HEALTH PRIORITIES. DATA WAS COLLECTED AND A VENDOR (HEALTHY COMMUNITY INSTITUTE) WAS SELECTED TO IMPLEMENT A COMMUNITY TRACKING TOOL THAT IS LINKED TO PUBLIC HEALTH INTERVENTIONS THAT IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES. THIS ONGOING SURVEILLANCE IS POPULATION-BASED DATA THAT SHOWS HEALTH SERVICES UTILIZATION AND SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, INCLUDING SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS, SOCIAL ISOLATION, HOUSING AND AIR QUALITY. IT IS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC ON THE HEALTHY MONTGOMERY WEBSITE. A SIMILAR PLATFORM, PGC HEALTH ZONE, WAS ALSO UTILIZED TO ASSESS SECONDARY DATA FOR PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MARYLAND. ADDITIONAL SOURCES SUCH AS THE CDC, CENSUS, AND COMMUNITY COMMONS, AMONG OTHERS, WERE ALSO UTILIZED TO COLLECT RELEVANT SECONDARY DATA.ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE'S CENTER FOR HEALTH EQUITY AND WELLNESS (FORMERLY CENTER ON HEALTH DISPARITIES) DEVELOPS AND RELEASES ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORTS/HEALTH EQUITY REPORTS, AND THESE REPORTS HELPED TO INFORM THE HOSPITALS' COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS. ALL PROGRESS REPORTS/HEALTH EQUITY REPORTS DEVELOPED BY THE CENTER FOR HEALTH EQUITY AND WELLNESS ("THE CENTER") ARE MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC ON THE CENTER'S WEBSITE, AS WELL AS IN HARD COPY THROUGH CONFERENCES AND UPON REQUEST. THE CENTER'S 2011 PROGRESS REPORT, ENTITLED HEALTH DISPARITIES IN THE ERA OF REFORM IMPLEMENTATION, DETAILED DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS AND ASSESSED DISPARITIES ACROSS A RANGE OF ISSUES WITHIN THREE BROAD HEALTH TOPICS AFFECTING OUR COMMUNITY: MATERNAL AND INFANT HEALTH, HEART DISEASE AND STROKE, AND CANCER. THE REPORT INCORPORATED DESCRIPTIVE FINDINGS FROM NATIONAL, STATE AND COUNTY-LEVEL DATABASES ON THE RACIAL AND ETHNIC MAKEUP OF THE POPULATION, THE PREVALENCE OF DISEASE ACROSS THESE GROUPS, AND THE RATES OF RECEIVING APPROPRIATE TREATMENT. TO CREATE THIS REPORT, THE CENTER ANALYZED THE U.S. CENSUS BUREAU'S AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY AND PROFILES OF GENERAL POPULATION AND HOUSING CHARACTERISTICS TO PRODUCE A BROAD DEMOGRAPHIC OVERVIEW BY COUNTY, RACE, AND ETHNICITY. IN MARYLAND, THE CENTER PRODUCED DESCRIPTIVE TABULATIONS BASED ON DATA FROM THE MARYLAND BEHAVIORAL RISK FACTOR SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM, THE MARYLAND CANCER REGISTRY, THE MARYLAND VITAL STATISTICS ADMINISTRATION, THE MARYLAND HEALTH CARE COMMISSION, AND THE MARYLAND DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND MENTAL HYGIENE'S (MDHMH) OFFICE ON MINORITY HEALTH & HEALTH DISPARITIES.

PART I, LINE 1A	ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE DOES NOT HAVE A WRITTEN POLICY REGARDING REIMBURSEMENT OR PROVISION OF CLUB EXPENSES. HOWEVER, ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE OWNS A CORPORATE MEMBERSHIP AT A LOCAL GOLF CLUB, IN WHICH THREE ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE EMPLOYEES CAN BE DESIGNATED TO USE THE FACILITIES. CLUB EXPENSES ARE PAID BY ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE, BUT ARE TREATED AS TAXABLE INCOME TO THE RESPECTIVE ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE EMPLOYEES, SUBJECT TO FEDERAL AND STATE TAX WITHHOLDINGS. THE CLUB EXPENDITURES ARE REVIEWED ANNUALLY BY THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, IN ACCORDANCE WITH IRS INTERMEDIATE SANCTION GUIDELINES.
PART I, LINE 3	COMPENSATION DEFINED. THE COMPENSATION REPORTED FOR THE EMPLOYEES SET FORTH ON SCHEDULE J IS COMPRISED OF THE FOLLOWING: BASE COMPENSATION INCLUDES NONDISCRETIONARY PAYMENTS, AGREED UPON IN ADVANCE, CONTINGENT ONLY UPON THE PAYEES' PERFORMANCE OF AGREED UPON SERVICES (SUCH AS SALARY OR FEES). INCENTIVE COMPENSATION INCLUDES PAYMENTS BASED ON SATISFACTION OF PRE-DETERMINED PERFORMANCE TARGETS SUCH AS QUALITY/PATIENT SAFETY GOALS, EMPLOYEE AND CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT GOALS, ORGANIZATIONAL GROWTH, AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE, AMONG OTHER THINGS. OTHER REPORTABLE COMPENSATION INCLUDES AN EXECUTIVE RETENTION 457F PLAN, WHICH BECAME EFFECTIVE ON JANUARY 1, 2015. PRE-TAX CONTRIBUTIONS ARE ACCUMULATED ANNUALLY AND ARE DISTRIBUTED ON JANUARY 1ST OF THE 2ND YEAR, IF STILL EMPLOYED OR SOONER BASED ON CERTAIN EXCEPTIONS. THERE IS TYPICALLY A 2 YEAR DEFERRAL PERIOD BEFORE PAYMENTS ARE RELEASED. THE FIRST PAYMENT ON THE EXECUTIVE RETENTION PLAN, RELATED TO CONTRIBUTIONS ACCUMULATED IN 2015, WILL GENERALLY BE DISTRIBUTED ON JANUARY 1, 2017 AND CONTRIBUTIONS ACCUMULATED IN 2016 WILL GENERALLY BE DISTRIBUTED ON JANUARY 1, 2018. IN ADDITION, OTHER REPORTABLE COMPENSATION INCLUDES LONG-TERM DISABILITY COVERAGE, CELL PHONE ALLOWANCES, CASH-OUT OF UNUSED PAID TIME OFF (PTO) HOURS (ONLY FOR EMPLOYEES WHO LEAVE OUR ORGANIZATION), IMPUTED VALUE OF LIFE INSURANCE BENEFITS, TAXABLE PAYABLE PAY, AND SEVERANCE, AS APPLICABLE. CERTAIN EXECUTIVES CAN ALSO RECEIVE REPORTABLE COMPENSATION THROUGH A SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN (SERP), ONCE THEY HAVE VESTED IN THE PLAN; HOWEVER EXECUTIVES LISTED ON THIS TAX RETURN HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED THIS BENEFIT SINCE THEY HAVE MET THE VESTING REQUIREMENTS. NON-TAXABLE BENEFITS INCLUDES PRE-TAX PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS (SUCH AS FLEXIBLE MEDICAL SPENDING, DEPENDENT CARE, AND EMPLOYEE HEALTH BENEFIT PREMIUM), AND THE EMPLOYER PORTION OF CERTAIN EMPLOYEE BENEFITS SUCH AS HEALTH INSURANCE, DENTAL INSURANCE, VISION INSURANCE, LIFE INSURANCE, BASE CONTRIBUTIONS TO RETIREMENT PLANS, MATCHING OF EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT CONTRIBUTIONS, ETC. PAY PRACTICE: ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE UTILIZES A SINGLE EMPLOYER ID FOR ALL OF ITS AFFILIATED ENTITIES FOR EMPLOYMENT PURPOSES. AS SUCH, ACTUAL COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS ARE CHARGED TO THE RESPECTIVE ENTITIES AND THE RESULTING COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS ARE REPORTED ON EACH AFFILIATE IRS FORM 990 AS IF PAID DIRECTLY BY SUCH AFFILIATE. AS APPLICABLE, THE SAME AND NON-ADDITIVE COMPENSATION AND EMPLOYMENT BENEFIT PLAN CONTRIBUTION AMOUNTS WERE ALSO DISCLOSED IN THE ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE INC. RELATED ENTITIES RETURNS. INDEPENDENT GUIDELINES: WHEN SETTING COMPENSATION FOR THE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, TRUSTEES, KEY EMPLOYEES, AND THE HIGHEST COMPENSATED EMPLOYEES, ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE FULLY COMPLIES WITH THE PROCEDURAL SAFE GUARDS EMBODIED IN IRS REGULATIONS. COMPENSATION FOR ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, TRUSTEES, KEY EMPLOYEES, AND THE HIGHEST COMPENSATED EMPLOYEES IS ENTIRELY SET BY A COMMITTEE OF ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. IN SETTING COMPENSATION, THE GOVERNING BOARD COMMITTEE RELIES UPON MARKET COMPARABILITY DATA PROVIDED BY AN INDEPENDENT OUTSIDE COMPENSATION CONSULTANT WHO PROVIDES A SUMMARY OF HEALTH CARE SALARIES AND BENEFITS FOR COMPARABLE SIZED ORGANIZATIONS BOTH NATIONALLY AND IN THE BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON REGION. TO FURTHER ENSURE REASONABLENESS, BOTH COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS ARE TARGETED AT THE 50TH PERCENTILE (OR MEDIAN) OF THE MARKET.
