PART I, LINE 7G - SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES EXPLANATION	READING HOSPITAL UTILIZES THE IRS GUIDELINES IN DETERMINING THE RATIO OF PATIENT COST TO CHARGES TO ESTIMATE THE COST OF EACH SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICE. THIS CALCULATION DOES NOT REFLECT READING HOSPITAL'S OPERATIONAL LOSS. CURRENTLY THE HOSPITAL PROVIDES BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, AND OUTPATIENT SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY ON A SUBSIDIZED BASIS AS THESE SERVICES REFLECT AN OPERATIONAL LOSS. READING HOSPITAL IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTHCARE CENTER PROVIDING COMPREHENSIVE ACUTE CARE, POST-ACUTE CARE REHABILITATION, BEHAVIORAL, AND OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH SERVICES TO THE PEOPLE OF BERKS AND ADJOINING COUNTIES. READING HOSPITAL LIES ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE CITY OF READING, WHICH HAS AN ESTIMATED POPULATION OF 87,978, IN 2011 AND CONTAINS 13 MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED CENSUS TRACTS. 39% OF THE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY LIVE BELOW FEDERAL POVERTY LEVELS. THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS TRACK CLOSELY TO THE HIGH POVERTY RATE IN THE CITY. THE ADULT PREVALENCE OF DIABETES, THE PROPORTION OF ADULTS WITH DIAGNOSED HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, THE PERCENT OF WOMEN WHO RECEIVE NO PRENATAL CARE IN THE FIRST TRIMESTER, THE PEDIATRIC AND ADULT ASTHMA HOSPITAL ADMISSION RATES, AND THE THREE-YEAR AVERAGE PNEUMONIA DEATH RATE ALL EXCEED THE NATIONAL BENCHMARKS FOR THESE INDICATORS. THE MISSION OF READING HOSPITAL IS TO PROVIDE COMPASSIONATE, ACCESSIBLE, HIGH QUALITY, COST EFFECTIVE HEALTH CARE TO THE COMMUNITY; TO PROMOTE HEALTH; TO EDUCATE HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS; AND TO PARTICIPATE IN APPROPRIATE CLINICAL RESEARCH. READING HOSPITAL IS COMMITTED TO SERVING THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY, EVEN WHEN THE NEEDED SERVICES CAUSE A DRAIN ON CAPITAL RESOURCES. READING HOSPITAL IS A REGIONAL REFERRAL CENTER FOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES. READING HOSPITAL PROVIDES APPROXIMATELY ONE-THIRD OF ALL INPATIENT MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES USED BY THE RESIDENTS OF BERKS COUNTY AND OVER 50% AMONG PATIENTS AGE 60+. ANOTHER MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDER, HAVEN BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, HAS RECENTLY ESTABLISHED A TREATMENT FACILITY IN THE CITY OF READING OFFERING MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. READING HOSPITAL TREATS NEARLY 40% OF BERKS COUNTY PATIENTS REQUIRING INPATIENT SERVICES FOR SUBSTANCE ABUSE. THE OTHER NON-PROFIT HOSPITAL IN THE AREA SERVES ONLY 4% OF THESE PATIENTS. READING HOSPITAL HAS RECENTLY EXPANDED AND RELOCATED ITS INPATIENT DETOXIFICATION CENTER TO MEET THE GROWING NEED FOR THESE SERVICES. IF READING HOSPITAL CEASED TO PROVIDE SUBSTANCE ABUSE SERVICES, PATIENTS WOULD HAVE TO TRAVEL OUT OF THE AREA FOR TREATMENT, BECAUSE LOCAL PROVIDERS WOULD NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO MEET THE NEED. READING HOSPITAL PERENNIALLY RANKS AMONG THE TOP FOUR PENNSYLVANIA HOSPITALS IN OUTPATIENT SERVICES. BECAUSE OF THE HIGH POVERTY RATE AND THE HIGH NUMBER OF UNINSURED AND MEDICAID/CHIP RESIDENTS, OUTPATIENT SERVICES ARE OFTEN PROVIDED WITHOUT ADEQUATE COMPENSATION.

FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION	THE MISSION OF THE READING HOSPITAL IS TO PROVIDE COMPASSIONATE, ACCESSIBLE, HIGH QUALITY, COST EFFECTIVE CARE TO THE COMMUNITY: TO PROMOTE HEALTH; TO EDUCATE HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS; AND TO PARTICIPATE IN APPROPRIATE CLINICAL RESEARCH. ASK SOMEONE TO DEFINE A HOSPITAL'S ROLE IN THE COMMUNITY, AND MOST OFTEN YOU HEAR ABOUT SERVICES AND DEPARTMENTS, OR ABOUT DOCTORS, NURSES AND OTHER CAREGIVERS. IN ADDITION TO ITS PRIMARY ROLE AS A PROVIDER OF DIRECT CARE, READING HEALTH SYSTEM ADDRESSES ISSUES OUTSIDE THAT REALM THAT IMPACT HEALTH AND WELLNESS. IN FACT, A KEY PART OF OUR MISSION MEANS THE REINVESTMENT OF OUR RESOURCES INTO THESE EFFORTS, WHICH ARE COLLECTIVELY KNOWN AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT. WE ARE PROUD TO REPORT THAT IN OUR LAST FISCAL YEAR, WE COMMITTED MORE THAN 175 MILLION TO THIS CAUSE. OUR CAREGIVERS AND SUPPORT STAFF PARTICIPATE IN HEALTH EDUCATION, FREE SCREENINGS, AND IMMUNIZATIONS. THEY SUPPORT ACTIVITIES FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH SERIOUS OR CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS, ADVANCE SELF-CARE BY INCREASING HEALTHCARE KNOWLEDGE, AND ADDRESS SPECIFIC COMMUNITY NEEDS THROUGH AN ARRAY OF OTHER EDUCATIONAL, SERVICE AND OUTREACH ACTIVITIES. HERE ARE A FEW EXAMPLES OF WHY THESE PROGRAMS REPRESENT THE BEST OF ALL OF US, WORKING TOGETHER FOR THE HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY. COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SERVICES ARE CARRIED OUT TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH. THEY EXTEND BEYOND PATIENT CARE ACTIVITIES AND ARE SUBSIDIZED BY READING HEALTH SYSTEM. PROGRAMS ARE OFFERED FOR FREE OR AT A VERY NOMINAL FEE TO ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS. READING HEALTH SYSTEM PROVIDES HEALTH EDUCATION PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO EDUCATE AND IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY.

UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID: 53.4 MILLION THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEDICAL ASSISTANCE CHARGES AND MEDICAID PAYMENTS AND THE ACTUAL COST OF PROVIDING PATIENT CARE. BAD DEBT: 5.9 MILLION THE COST OF PROVIDING CARE TO PATIENTS WHOM WE BELIEVE WOULD QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER OUR CHARITY CARE POLICY. UNCOMPENSATED CHARITY CARE: 15.4 MILLION FREE HEALTH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PERSONS WHO MEET OUR CRITERIA FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THIS AMOUNT REFLECTS THE ACTUAL COST OF PROVIDING CARE.

THIS INCLUDES RESEARCH AND CLINICAL TRIALS IN THE AREA OF CANCER AND INCLUDES TUMOR REGISTRY EXPENSES.
