ORGANIZATION'S MISSION	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 152 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. FREE COMMUNITY BASED CLINICAL CARE IS OFFERED AT VARIOUS TIMES THROUGH OUT THE YEAR AND INCLUDE FREE FLU SHOTS AND CANCER SCREENINGS, WHICH INCLUDE SKIN, CERVICAL, BREAST, AND PROSTATE. DURING FY 2013 APPROXIMATELY 3,000 FLU VACCINES WERE PROVIDED TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS FREE OF CHARGE AND OVER 400 FREE CANCER SCREENINGS WERE GIVEN. PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS, MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND TRANSPORTATION WAS ALSO PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE FOR PATIENTS WHO DEMONSTRATE NEED. HEARTSAFE BERKS COUNTY IS AN INNOVATIVE PROGRAM THAT PLACES AUTOMATIC EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATORS (AEDS) IN KEY INSTITUTIONS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. AN AED CAN HELP REVIVE A PERSON WHOSE HEART HAS STOPPED BEFORE EMERGENCY MEDICAL PERSONNEL ARRIVE. PHASE ONE OF THE PROGRAM PLACED 245 AEDS - WHICH TYPICALLY COST 1,600 EACH - IN EVERY "FIRST RESPONDER" VEHICLE AND POLICE DEPARTMENT IN THE COUNTY. PHASE TWO EXTENDED TO THE LOCAL HIGH SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY, TO INSPECT AND, WHERE NEEDED, REPLACE OR INSTALL AEDS. THE PROGRAM ALSO TRAINS FACULTY AND STUDENTS IN CPR AND AED USE - WHICH EXPANDS THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH LIFESAVING SKILLS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. AS A RESULT OF THESE EFFORTS, 34 AED'S HAVE BEEN DONATED TO THE LOCAL HIGH SCHOOLS AND A 13 YEAR OLD BOY IN GYM CLASS WAS SAVED BY THE EFFORTS OF HIS TEACHERS AND FELLOW STUDENTS. PHASE THREE, OFFERS CORPORATIONS THE ABILITY TO PURCHASE AEDS AND OFFER TRAINING TO THEIR EMPLOYEES AT READING HOSPITAL'S COST. 30 AEDS HAVE BEEN PURCHASED BY LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS, CHURCHES AND BUSINESSES IN BERKS COUNTY. HEART SAFE HAS ALSO DONATED TO KEY COMMUNITY LOCATIONS IN BERKS COUNTY WHICH INCLUDE: SANTANSER ARENA, BERKS COUNTY COURT HOUSE, AND GOGGLEWORKS TO ENSURE PATRONS AND VISITORS TO BERKS COUNTY ARE HEARTSAFE. THE NEXT PHASE, ALREADY UNDERWAY IS EXTENDING THIS LIFESAVING PROGRAM TO THE FIVE LOCAL COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES IN BERKS COUNTY, WHICH INCLUDE ALBRIGHT COLLEGE, ALVERNIA UNIVERSITY, KUTZTOEN UNIVERSITY, PENN STATE UNIVERSITY - BERKS CAMPUS, AND READING AREA COMMUNITY COLLEGE. THE HEARTSAFE TEAM WILL TRAVEL THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY TO TOUR THE COLLEGE CAMPUS, INSPECT THE AEDS AND WHERE NECESSARY DONATE ADDITIONAL DEVICES. HEARTSAFE BERKS COUNTY, THE FIRST PROGRAM OF ITS KIND IN PENNSYLVANIA, IS SUPPORTED BY READING HEALTH SYSTEM IN PARTNERSHIP WITH FRIENDS OF READING HOSPITAL. COMMUNITY BENEFIT TOTAL: 152,526,230 (FISCAL YEAR 2013) DIRECT PATIENT CARE UNREIMBURSED MEDICARE: 66.3 MILLION THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEDICARE CHARGES AND MEDICARE PAYMENTS AND THE ACTUAL COST OF PROVIDING PATIENT CARE. UNREIMBURSED MEDICAID: 35.3 MILLION THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEDICAL ASSISTANCE CHARGES AND MEDICAID PAYMENTS AND THE ACTUAL COST OF PROVIDING PATIENT CARE. BAD DEBT: 10.7 MILLION THE COST OF PROVIDING CARE TO PATIENTS WHOM WE BELIEVE WOULD QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER OUR CHARITY CARE POLICY. UNCOMPENSATED CHARITY CARE: 17.4 MILLION FREE HEALTH SERVICES PROVIDED TO PERSONS WHO MEET OUR CRITERIA FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THIS AMOUNT REFLECTS THE ACTUAL COST OF PROVIDING CARE. COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT SERVICES PATIENT CARE COMMUNITY SERVICES: .5 MILLION INCLUDES FREE FLU SHOTS, CANCER SCREENINGS, MEDICATIONS, MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND TRANSPORTATION FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS; FREE INTERPRETING SERVICES; AND FREE COMMUNITY HELP LINE. COMMUNITY HEALTH EDUCATION: 3.2 MILLION INCLUDES HEALTH EDUCATION PROGRAMS, CPR CLASSES, SUPPORT GROUPS AND FREE WORKSITE HEALTH EDUCATION PROGRAMS THAT IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH. CONTRIBUTIONS: 0.7 MILLION MONETARY SUPPORT GIVEN TO THE WEST READING COMMUNITY. FINANCIAL AND IN-KIND DONATIONS: 1.8 MILLION CONTRIBUTIONS MADE BY RH AND ITS EMPLOYERS TO COMMUNITY NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. CASH AND IN-KING DONATIONS WERE MADE TO NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, NOT AFFILIATED WITH READING HEALTH SYSTEM, AND WHOSE PROGRAMS AND OR SERVICES SHARE THE MISSION OF READING HEALTH SYSTEMDONATIONS WERE GIVEN TO THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY, CHILDREN'S HOME OF READING, CENTRO HISPANO, BERKS COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER, MARCH OF DIMES AND OTHER NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. 700 FREE TURKEYS ARE GIVEN TO THE SALVATION ARMY EACH YEAR TO ASSIST NEEDY FAMILIES IN BERKS COUNTY. ALL EMPLOYEES ARE OFFERED THE OPPORTUNITY TO HELP THE COMMUNITY THROUGH THE READING HEALTH SYSTEM'S EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT INITIATIVE. READING HEALTH SYSTEM OFFERS A FREE PHONE BASED COMMUNITY HELPLINE TO ASSIST COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO CONNECT WITH SERVICES PROVIDED WITHIN THE HEALTH SYSTEM AND THE COMMUNITY. PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION AND CLINICAL RESEARCH MEDICAL EDUCATION FOR PHYSICIANS/MEDICAL STUDENTS: 13 MILLION INCLUDES SALARIES AND BENEFITS FOR MEDICAL RESIDENTS, MEDICAL LIBRARY, AND CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS AVAILABLE TO ALL PHYSICIANS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.NURSING AND OTHER HEALTH PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION,INCLUDES NURSING, PARAMEDIC AND PASTORAL CARE EDUCATION THAT RESULT IN A DEGREE, CERTIFICATE OR TRAINING NECESSARY TO BE LICENSED TO PRACTICE AS A HEALTH PROFESSIONAL. INCLUDES CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS OFFERED TO ALL NURSES IN THE COMMUNITY. CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION IS OFFERED TO ALL PHYSICIANS, NURSES AND OTHER HEALTH PROFESSIONALS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY ON SUBJECTS FOR WHICH OUR ORGANIZATION HAS SPECIAL EXPERTISE. CANCER CLINICAL RESEARCH AND TUMOR REGISTRY: .3 MILLION INCLUDES RESEARCH AND CLINICAL TRIALS IN THE AREAS OF CANCER, AND TUMOR REGISTRY EXPENSES. READING HEALTH SYSTEM PARTICIPATES IN CANCER CLINICAL HEALTH RESEARCH THAT IS SHARED WITH OTHERS OUTSIDE OF OUR SYSTEM. BECAUSE OF THE HOSPITAL'S DEDICATION TO CLINICAL RESEARCH AND OUR AFFILIATIONS WITH VARIOUS NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS, WE ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE PATIENTS, IN OUR COMMUNITY, WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SAME RESEARCH STUDIES BEING OFFERED AT LARGE UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS THROUGHOUT THIS NATION. THIS INCLUDES RESEARCH AND CLINICAL TRIALS IN THE AREA OF CANCER AND INCLUDES TUMOR REGISTRY EXPENSES. BASED UPON THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT, READING HEALTH SYSTEM IDENTIFIED SEVERAL HIGH-PRIORITY ISSUES FOR OUR FOCUS; MATERNAL, INFANT AND CHILD HEALTH AND OBESITY. TO HELP ORGANIZE OUR EFFORTS AND KEEP THESE KEY ISSUES IN FRONT OF THE COMMUNITY, READING HEALTH SYSTEM DEVELOPED A COMMUNITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT. THIS DEPARTMENT WILL FOSTER PARTNERSHIPS WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS SO THAT WE CAN WORK TOGETHER TO DEVELOP, IMPLEMENT, AND EVALUATE PROGRAMS TO IMPROVE OUR COMMUNITIES HEALTH. WE ARE HOPEFUL OUR EFFORTS WILL EMPOWER MORE PEOPLE TO MANAGE THEIR HEALTH BEHAVIORS AND THEREBY EXPERIENCE A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE.
