TWO DISTINGUISHED AMH PHYSICIAN LEADERS WERE APPOINTED ASSOCIATE DEAN AND DIRECTOR OF UNDERGRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION AND A CONTINUED ROLE OF DIRECTOR OF GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION TO ADMINISTER THE AFFILIATION. AMH IS AFFILIATED WITH THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OF PHILADELPHIA ("CHOP") FOR ITS INPATIENT PEDIATRIC UNIT AND EXPANDED ITS CHOP OUTPATIENT AND PEDIATRIC SPECIALTY OFFERINGS INCLUDING A NEW SPECIALTY UNIT. THE CHOP SPECIALTY CARE CENTER AT ABINGTON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL OFFERS PHYSICIAN VISITS, TESTING, LABORATORY SERVICES, MANAGEMENT OF CHRONIC CONDITIONS AND A CHILD-FRIENDLY DESIGN. PEDIATRIC MEDICAL SPECIALTIES IN THE CENTER INCLUDE CARDIOLOGY, ENDOCRINOLOGY, GASTROENTEROLOGY, NEONATAL FOLLOW UP, PULMONARY MEDICINE AND UROLOGY. IN ADDITION TO THE CENTER'S SERVICES, ABINGTON AND LANSDALE SPECIALISTS THROUGHOUT OUR COMMUNITY PROVIDE PEDIATRIC EXPERTISE FOR A WIDE RANGE OF OTHER CONDITIONS. OUTPATIENT CAMPUSES ABINGTON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL IS NOW THE FLAGSHIP HOSPITAL OF ABINGTON HEALTH, WHICH ALSO ENCOMPASSES LANSDALE HOSPITAL, ABINGTON HEALTH CENTER - SCHILLING IN WILLOW GROVE, ABINGTON HEALTH CENTER - WARMINSTER, AND ABINGTON HEALTH CENTER - BLUE BELL AND ABINGTON HEALTH CENTER-LOWER GWYNEDD AND THE ABINGTON HEALTH PHYSICIANS NETWORK OF PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS AND SPECIALISTS.

PLANNING IN FY14 INCLUDED THE AH CENTER - GWYNEDD AND REFOCUSED THE MONTGOMERYVILLE SITE AS THE ABINGTON HEALTH CENTER MONTGOMERYVILLE. IN FY14 ABINGTON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL AND ABINGTON HEALTH CELEBRATED A YEAR MILESTONE OF THE NEW OUTPATIENT CAMPUS: ABINGTON HEALTH CENTER - BLUE BELL. THIS CAMPUS IS A NEWLY CONSTRUCTED STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITY IN BLUE BELL, PENNSYLVANIA. THIS CAMPUS PROVIDES MANY OF THE MOST IN-DEMAND HEALTHCARE SERVICES INCLUDING PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS, A DEDICATED NEUROLOGY GROUP, A COMPREHENSIVE IMAGING CENTER OFFERING OPEN MRI, CT, MAMMOGRAPHY, DEXA AND OTHER SERVICES AS WELL AS CONVENIENT ABINGTON LABORATORY SERVICES. IN FY14, AH OPENED TWO URGENT CARE CENTERS IN FEASTERVILLE AND FLOURTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA AND ARE LOCATED ON THE WESTERN AND EASTERN EDGE OF OUR SERVICE AREA IN CONVENIENTLY LOCATED HIGH VOLUME SHOPPING CENTERS. THE ABINGTON HEALTH CENTER - LOWER GWYNEDD WAS PLANNED AND CONSTRUCTED IN FY14 WITH A FALL 2014 OPENING. THREE AHP PRIMARY CARE PRACTICES AND A LAB DRAW SITE ARE LOCATED IN THIS NEWLY CONSTRUCTED OUTPATIENT FACILITY. IN ADDITION, DURING FY14, ABINGTON HEALTH CENTER - BLUE BELL CELEBRATED ITS ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY, HAVING ACHIEVED REAL GROWTH IN SERVICES WITH AN EXCEPTIONAL PATIENT EXPERIENCE. AH EXPANDED THE DENTAL CLINIC AT AMH ALLOWING US TO PROVIDE 1,000 ADDITIONAL PATIENT VISITS PER YEAR. A NEW COMMUNITY-BASED DENTAL ACCESS PROGRAM WAS DEVELOPED IN THE NORTH PENN REGION SUPPORTED BY A GENEROUS DONATION FROM THE VISITING NURSES ASSOCIATION FOUNDATION OF GREATER NORTH PENN. |
| CORE FORM, PART III | THE ABINGTON HEALTH CENTER - SCHILLING CAMPUS SERVES AS A MAJOR SATELLITE OF THE HOSPITAL. OUTPATIENT HEALTHCARE SERVICES SUCH AS LABORATORY TESTING, RADIOLOGY (INCLUDING CAT SCAN, MRI, MAMMOGRAPHY AND X-RAY), SAME DAY SURGERY, PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES, SLEEP CENTER AND WOUND AND DIABETES CARE AS WELL AS PRIMARY AND SPECIALTY CARE PHYSICIAN OFFICES, ARE AVAILABLE IN THIS CONVENIENT LOCATION IN WILLOW GROVE.

A NEW MODEL OF CARE IS BEING PROVIDED IN CONJUNCTION WITH TARGETED ABINGTON HEALTH PHYSICIANS (AHP) PRACTICES, ENABLING PHYSICIANS TO HAVE CLOSER COORDINATION WITH THEIR PATIENTS' MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS. THE PRIMARY CARE SETTING IS AN IMPORTANT VENUE FOR THE IDENTIFICATION AND MANAGEMENT OF MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS. INDIVIDUALS SUFFERING FROM MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS MAY BE MORE LIKELY TO ACCESS MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES IN THE PRIMARY CARE SETTING THAN SPECIALTY CARE FOR MENTAL HEALTH OR SUBSTANCE ABUSE ISSUES. THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT SUPPORTS THIS TYPE OF MODEL. AH BELIEVES THE INTEGRATION OF SERVICES THROUGH A MEDICAL HOME MODEL THAT INCORPORATES MENTAL HEALTH ALLOWS US TO PROVIDE BETTER HEALTHCARE FOR INDIVIDUALS. THUS, THIS NEW MODEL IN FY14 LED TO THE CLOSURE OF AMH'S OUTPATIENT MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES AT THE CREEKWOOD CENTER IN JUNE 2014. ABINGTON HEALTH CENTER - WARMINSTER CAMPUS (FORMERLY WARMINSTER HOSPITAL) WAS ACQUIRED IN LATE 2007.

THE COMMITTEE HAS ADOPTED A WRITTEN EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY WHICH IT FOLLOWS WHEN IT REVIEWS AND APPROVES OF THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS OF THE ORGANIZATION'S SENIOR MANAGEMENT, INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT, EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT/CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER AND VICE PRESIDENT OF FINANCE/CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER. THE COMMITTEE REVIEWS THE "TOTAL COMPENSATION" OF THE 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 SENIOR MANAGEMENT OF THE ORGANIZATION IS REASONABLE.

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 BOARD OF TRUSTEES EACH OF WHO 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.

THE PEER GROUP WOULD CONSIST OF INDEPENDENT, SINGLE AND MULTI-HOSPITAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS THAT HAVE AN EMPHASIS ON TEACHING AND RANGE IN SIZE FROM HALF AS LARGE TO UP TO TWICE AS LARGE AS ABINGTON HEALTH. ALTHOUGH THIS PEER GROUP WILL CONTAIN ORGANIZATIONS FROM ALL PARTS OF THE U.S., ABINGTON HEALTH WILL ALSO EXAMINE REGIONAL (MID-ATLANTIC) AND LOCAL (PHILADELPHIA) PAY LEVELS. 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, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE PRESIDENT, EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT/CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER AND VICE PRESIDENT OF FINANCE/CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER.
