Description	COMMITMENT TO BENEFITING OUR COMMUNITIES - PATIENT CARE SERVICES CHRISTUS HEALTH WAS FORMED IN 1999 WHEN THE SISTERS OF CHARITY HEALTH CARE SYSTEM, SPONSORED BY THE SISTERS OF CHARITY OF THE INCARNATE WORD OF HOUSTON, AND THE INCARNATE WORD HEALTH CARE SYSTEM, SPONSORED BY THE SISTERS OF CHARITY OF THE INCARNATE WORD OF SAN ANTONIO, BROUGHT THEIR HEALTH CARE MINISTRIES TOGETHER. BISHOP CLAUDE MARIE DUBUIS FOUNDED BOTH CONGREGATIONS MORE THAN 140 YEARS AGO, AND HIS ORIGINAL CALL TO THE SISTERS CONTINUES TO CHALLENGE CHRISTUS HEALTH TO FULFILL ITS MISSION OF EXTENDING THE HEALING MINISTRY OF JESUS CHRIST AND TO REACH OUT TO THOSE IN NEED IN THE MORE THAN 60 COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. THE VISION OF CHRISTUS HEALTH, A CATHOLIC, FAITH-BASED HEALTH MINISTRY, IS TO BE A LEADER, A PARTNER AND AN ADVOCATE IN THE CREATION OF INNOVATIVE HEALTH AND WELLNESS SOLUTIONS THAT IMPROVE THE LIVES OF INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES SO THAT ALL MAY EXPERIENCE GOD'S HEALING PRESENCE AND LOVE.

Description	COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORTING - CHARITY CARE AND MEDICAID CHRISTUS ADHERES TO THE CATHOLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION'S GUIDE FOR PLANNING AND REPORTING COMMUNITY BENEFIT (2012) AND COMPLIES WITH THE STATE OF TEXAS REQUIREMENTS FOR REPORTING. COMMUNITY BENEFIT, REPORTED AS UNPAID COSTS, INCLUDES BOTH CHARITY CARE AND COMMUNITY SERVICES. TO THE LIMITS OF ITS RESOURCES, CHRISTUS HEALTH IS AN INSTITUTION OF PURELY PUBLIC CHARITY; THUS, THE MOST TANGIBLE EXPRESSION OF CHRISTUS HEALTH'S CHARITABLE PURPOSE IS THE PROVISION OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES TO THOSE PERSONS WHO ARE UNABLE TO PAY. CHARITY CARE FALLS INTO TWO CATEGORIES: CHARITY CARE AND UNPAID GOVERNMENT INDIGENT CARE. IN KEEPING WITH THE MISSION, VALUES, AND VISION OF CHRISTUS HEALTH, THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES CHARITY CARE SERVICES IN A MANNER THAT RESPECTS THE DIGNITY OF THE PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES. CHARITY CARE IS DEFINED AS SERVICES PROVIDED WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT A CHARGE LESS THAN THE USUAL CHARGE FOR SUCH SERVICES. THE DETERMINATION AS TO THE AMOUNT OF THE CHARGE, IF ANY, IS ACCORDING TO A PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY AS DETERMINED BY ESTABLISHED ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA. FOR UNINSURED PATIENTS WHOSE ECONOMIC CIRCUMSTANCES PLACE THEM AT OR UNDER 200 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL (FPL), SERVICES ARE PROVIDED WITHOUT ANY EXPECTATION OF PAYMENT. UNINSURED PATIENTS WHOSE ECONOMIC CIRCUMSTANCES PLACE THEM BETWEEN 200 AND 400 PERCENT OF FPL ARE CHARGED BASED ON A SLIDING SCALE, AND THOSE ABOVE 400 PERCENT RECEIVE DISCOUNTS BASED ON THE UNINSURED FEE SCHEDULE. NO PATIENT IS REFUSED NECESSARY MEDICAL CARE DUE TO INABILITY TO PAY. CHRISTUS HEALTH IS AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN THE STATES OF TEXAS AND LOUISIANA MEDICAID PROGRAMS. THOSE PROGRAMS SEEK TO PROVIDE PAYMENT FOR HEALTH CARE SERVICES TO INDIVIDUALS WHO MEET CERTAIN FINANCIAL AND OTHER REQUIREMENTS. FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS INCLUDE EVALUATION OF BOTH ASSETS AND INCOME. CHRISTUS HEALTH CENTRAL LOUISIANA PARTNERS WITH THE STATE OF LOUISIANA IN A PILOT PROJECT FOR THE LOUISIANA CHILDREN'S HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM (LA CHIP).

PART I, LINE 5	BUDGETED CHARITY CARE	The organization budgets charity care for internal financial review purposes only. The provision of charity care is not limited to amounts established for budgetary purposes. Part I, Line 6a Annual Community Benefit Report A REPORT OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT IS INCLUDED IN A WRITTEN ANNUAL REPORT FOR CHRISTUS HEALTH, THE ORGANIZATION'S PARENT COMPANY. CHRISTUS HEALTH IS AN INTERNATIONAL, CATHOLIC, FAITH BASED, NON PROFIT HEALTH SYSTEM FORMED IN 1999 WITH A MISSION "TO EXTEND THE HEALING MINISTRY OF JESUS CHRIST." THE ANNUAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT SUMMARIZES ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMS CONDUCTED DURING THE PAST YEAR TO IMPROVE HEALTH INCLUDING PROACTIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES. HOWEVER, THE ANNUAL REPORT IS ONLY A SNAPSHOT OF HOW THE ORGANIZATION DISTINGUISHES ITSELF IN ITS VISION TO BE A LEADER, A PARTNER, AND AN ADVOCATE IN CREATING INNOVATIVE HEALTH AND WELLNESS SOLUTIONS THAT IMPROVE THE LIVES OF INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES. Part I, Line 7, column (f) Percent of Total Expense TOTAL EXPENSE FROM FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A) IS $217,296,399. THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED IN THIS AMOUNT IS $11,052,897. THIS LEAVES A TOTAL EXPENSE OF $206,243,502 FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING LINE 7, COLUMN (F). Part I, Line 7, Column (f) Description of Financial Assistance and Other Community Benefits as Percentage of Total Costs The organization's total community benefit expense as reported on Part I, Line 7k, Column (c) as a percentage of total expense is 16.39%, which exceeds the amount reported on Part I, Line 7k Column (f) which is computed using net community benefit expense. Part I, Line 7I CASH AND IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS CHRISTUS HEALTH CENTRAL LOUISIANA MADE OVER $3,277,644 IN CASH AND IN KIND CONTRIBUTIONS DURING FISCAL YEAR 2013. THE AFOREMENTIONED AMOUNT IS DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH REPORTING RULES FOR SCHEDULE H, WORKSHEET 8. AS SUCH THIS AMOUNT DIFFERS FROM GRANTS REPORTED AT FORM 990, SCHEDULE I, GRANTS AND OTHER ASSISTANCE TO ORGANIZATIONS, GOVERNMENTS, AND INDIVIDUALS AND PART IX, LINES 1 THROUGH 3 GRANTS AND OTHER ASSISTANCE. CHRISTUS HEALTH ESTABLISHED THE CHRISTUS FUND, A GRANT FUND TO PROVIDE RESOURCES TO NON-PROFIT AGENCIES AND GROUPS WHOSE VISION, MISSION, AND GOALS ARE CONSISTENT WITH CHRISTUS HEALTH'S MISSION, VALUES, AND PHILOSOPHY OF A HEALTHY COMMUNITY. CHRISTUS FUND GRANTS TOTALING $25,000 WERE DONATED BY CHRISTUS HEALTH TO NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS LOCATED IN THE COMMUNITY SERVED BY CHRISTUS HEALTH CENTRAL LOUISIANA. THE GRANT DOLLARS WERE USED TO SUPPORT PROGRAMS THAT PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY THAT CHRISTUS HEALTH CENTRAL LOUISIANA SERVES. THE CHRISTUS FUND GRANTS WERE USED TO INTRODUCE THE CARE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM NAMED CARE TRANSITIONS, WHICH IS AIMED AT CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT FOR UNDERSERVED IN-PATIENTS. THIS PROGRAM HAS PROVEN TO BE INSTRUMENTAL IN REDUCING THE NUMBER OF PREVENTABLE HOSPITALIZATIONS FOR OUR PATIENTS. THE CHRISTUS FUND GRANTS ALSO HELPED TO FUND 17 SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH CENTERS LOCATED IN FIVE PARISHES SERVED BY CHRISTUS HEALTH CENTRAL LOUISIANA. ALL GRANTS MADE TO OUTSIDE ORGANIZATIONS VIA THE CHRISTUS FUND ARE MADE TO NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THAT SUPPORT THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY. THESE GRANT DOLLARS ARE NOT INCLUDED ON SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7(I). Indigent Funding Expense of $3,132,000 is included in Schedule H, Part I, Line 7(i). Part I, Line 7 Line 7a: Ratio of patient care cost to charges based on Schedule H, worksheet 2 Line 7b: Ratio of patient care cost to charges based on Schedule H, worksheet 2 Line 7e: Actual expenses less any direct offsetting revenue Line 7f: Actual expenses less any direct offsetting revenue Line 7g: Ratio of patient care cost to charges based on Schedule H, worksheet 2 Line 7i: Actual expense of the contributions Part II Community Building Activities THE COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES REPORTED AT SCHEDULE H, PART II INCLUDE INNER CITY REVITALIZATION PROJECTS, LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT, AND COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT ADVOCACY. THE CHRISTUS HEALTH BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVED FUNDING OF A COMMUNITY DIRECT INVESTMENT (CDI) LOAN PROGRAM TO ENSURE THAT THE WORK OF SOCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY AND MORAL AND ETHICAL STEWARDSHIP CONTINUES IN SPITE OF CHALLENGING FISCAL CONDITIONS FACED BY LOCAL OPERATING ENTITIES. THOUGH OUTSTANDING LOAN BALANCES VARY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, CHRISTUS HEALTH CENTRAL LOUISIANA'S OUTSTANDING CDI LOAN BALANCE AT THE END OF FISCAL YEAR 2013 WAS $0. THE PURPOSE OF THE CDI PROGRAM IS TO SUPPORT COMMUNITY DRIVEN INITIATIVES, PRIMARILY FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BY PROVIDING FINANCING AT BELOW-MARKET INTEREST RATES TO NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS AT TERMS NOT EXCEEDING MORE THAN FIVE YEARS. THE INCOME EARNED AT THE MARKET RATE LESS OUR LOAN RATE (FOREGONE INCOME) IS CONSIDERED A COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR REPORTING PURPOSES. THE FOREGONE INTEREST FOR CHRISTUS HEALTH CENTRAL LOUISIANA IN THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2013 WAS $8,224. THE CHRISTUS HEALTH ADVOCACY DEPARTMENT IS WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL POLICY MAKERS TO ENSURE ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMS ARE IN PLACE THAT WILL ENHANCE PUBLIC HEALTH AND ADVANCE GENERAL KNOWLEDGE. ADVOCACY EFFORTS FOCUS ON THE NEEDS OF CHILDREN, SENIORS AND OTHER VULNERABLE POPULATIONS, AND THEY WORK TO PROMOTE PROGRAMS SUCH AS HEALTH SCREENINGS AND EDUCATION FOR EARLY DETECTION OF CANCER AND HEART DISEASE AS WELL AS IMMUNIZATIONS. Part III, Section A, Line 1 Bad Debt Reporting in Accordance with HFMA Statement 15 CHRISTUS Health follows in principle Healthcare Financial Management Association Statement No. 15. The system has adopted an uncompensated care policy where revenue from services provided to the uninsured is recognized at the time of payment, rather than at the time of service. This policy is the result of a lack of reasonable assurance of collection for services provided to the uninsured due to the system's historically low collection rate. Management has estimated that the difference between recording revenue from the uninsured on a cash basis, rather than the accrual basis, is immaterial. Accordingly, all accounts receivable from the uninsured have been fully reserved in the allowance for uncompensated care.
PART III, SECTION A, LINE 2	METHODOLOGY USED IN DETERMINING BAD DEBT	The organization's total bad debt expense (total of all hospital facilities) is in accordance with the organization's financial statements, which is computed as bad debt net of contractual allowance, payments received and recoveries of bad debt previously written off. Part III, Section A, Line 3 Estimate of Bad Debt Expense Attributable to Patients Eligible Under Organization's Charity Care Policy The filing organization recognizes that some patients are unable or unwilling to seek financial assistance due to barriers such as educational level, literacy, documentation requirements, or being intimidated by the application process. In order to estimate the amount of the organization's bad debt expense attributable to patients who may be eligible for financial assistance but have not submitted an application, the organization engaged PARO Decision Support, LLC. PARO Charity Score is designed to identify patients that likely qualify for financial assistance based on a predictive model and other financial and asset estimates for the patient derived from public record sources. In order to assess the bad debt accounts that would likely qualify for charity care, the following criteria were established based on an analysis of historical data of Christus Health and its related organizations: 1. PARO Score of less than or equal to 586, which is a predictor defining the likely socioeconomic conditions for the patient; 2. Estimated Federal Poverty Level of less than or equal to 226%, which is based on estimated household size and household estimated income; and 3. Third party data available on patient accounts which indicate that the patient is not a homeowner or a probable homeowner. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011, the organization reported that 30% of bad debt expenses were attributable to patients who may have been eligible for financial assistance but were not responsive to the application process existing at that time. This figure was based on the PARO analysis and estimates of patients' financial needs that examined whether patients were characteristic of others who historically qualified for assistance under the traditional application process. The presumptive charity care analysis performed for the prior fiscal year determined a benchmark of bad debt accounts in the Christus Health System that lacked the information to qualify for charity care under the filing organization's customary process but would have likely qualified for assistance. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013, the organization utilized the PARO score to identify the accounts of individual patients that were likely eligible for financial assistance despite having not completed an application, and such analysis determined that 26.21% of such accounts were likely eligible for financial assistance. The organization granted presumptive eligibility for these accounts and they were reclassified under our financial assistance policy. These amounts were not reported as bad debt. The amount reported on Schedule H, Part III, Line 3 is the difference between the presumptive charity care benchmark established in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011 and the aggregate of individual accounts for which the organization granted presumptive eligibility in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013. Thus, the organization estimates that only 3.79% of the bad debt expenses in fiscal year ending June 30, 2013 are attributable to patients who would likely have qualified for financial assistance. It is important to note that the figure calculated for fiscal year ending June 30, 2011 was estimated and not exact, and therefore the difference between the amounts qualified as presumptive charity care in any fiscal year may vary from the benchmark established in fiscal year ending June 30, 2011. Part III, Section A, Line 4 Bad Debt Expense Footnote The footnote to the CHRISTUS Health consolidated financial statements says, "The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management of the system to make assumptions, estimates, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. The system considers critical accounting policies to be those that require more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of its financial statements, including the following: recognition of net patient revenues, which include contractual allowances; provisions for bad debt; reserves for losses and expenses related to health care professional and general liabilities; determination of fair values of certain financial instruments; determination of fair value of certain goodwill and long-lived assets; and risks and assumptions for measurement of pension and retiree medical liabilities. Management relies on historical experience and on other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances in making its judgment and estimates. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates." Part III, Section B, Line 8 Extent to which shortfall should be treated as community benefit Costing Methodology The shortfall on Part III, Line 7 is not counted as a community benefit. The amount on Schedule H, Part III, Line 6 is determined by calculating Medicare Allowable Costs using worksheet A of the Medicare Cost Report. Worksheet A of the Medicare Cost Report requires the organization to remove non-allowable expenses from total expenses via the adjustments to expenses worksheets within the Medicare Cost Report. The amount reported on Schedule H, Part III, Line 6 does not take into account all costs incurred by the filing organization associated with the filing organization's provisions of services to Medicare patients. Schedule H, Part III, Line 7 would equal a shortfall of ($10,531,593) if total expenses allocable to Medicare services were substituted on Schedule H, Part III, Line 6. Part III, Section C, Line 9b Collection Policy It is the policy of the organization to pursue collections of patient balances from patients who have the ability to pay for these services. CHRISTUS Health applies its collection efforts consistently and fairly to all patients regardless of insurance. If a patient does not have the financial resources to pay their outstanding balances, the goal of the organization is to qualify these patients through the organization's charity policy or screen the patients through organization's presumptive charity tests. If the patient qualifies under either policy the account will be written off based upon level of qualification. These policies support the mission and vision of the organization and are approved by senior leadership. Part V, Section B, Line 3 CHNA Christus St. Francis Cabrini Hospital, serves three-parish areas in Central Louisiana, including Avoyelles, Grant and Rapides Parishes. Cabrini Hospital collaborated with numerous professional in the area to join in a focus group to help better serve the community. In addition to the key informant focus group, quantitative about the health of the community residents was solicited from the hospital sponsors of this study during separate meeting. Part V, Section B, Line 11 Determination of eligibility for discounted care The hospital facility provides discounted care to all uninsured patients. In order to determine discounts for uninsured patients, the facility utilizes a sliding scale based on federal poverty guidelines and other criteria applied to a uniform fee schedule. The facility has implemented a 3 tier uninsured fee schedule wherein individuals between 201-300% of the Federal Poverty Level receive a specific discount percentage off of the uninsured discounted price; individuals between 301%-400% of the Federal Poverty Level receive a specific discount percentage off of the uninsured discounted price; and individuals above 401% of the Federal Poverty Level receive no additional discount off of the uninsured discounted price. There is no Federal Poverty Limit for the uninsured population to receive discounted care because all charges by the facility are based on the uninsured discounted price. The uninsured discounted price is based on the FY 2009 managed care average reimbursement rate, excluding implant and drug contribution dollars. Part V, Section B, Lines 14 & 14g How the hospital facility publicizes the financial assistance policy The hospital facility's complete financial assistance policy is not posted in the facility's emergency rooms, waiting rooms or admissions offices; however, a notice that the financial assistance policy is available at the business office and online is posted in the facility's emergency rooms, waiting rooms and admission offices. Part V, Section B, Line 15 Did the hospital facility have in place during the tax year a separate billing and collections policy, or a w
PART VI, LINE 2	NEEDS ASSESSMENT	COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS WERE ASSESSED BASED ON A 2009 COLLABORATION WITH 16 HEALTH CARE LEADERS FROM 14 COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDING HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS, STATE DENTAL ASSOCIATIONS, LOCAL UNIVERSITIES, STATE MENTAL HEALTH OFFICES, PARISH COUNCIL ON AGING, AND LOCAL VETERANS ADMINISTRATIONS. THIS COLLABORATION RESULTED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A STRATEGIC COMMUNITY HEALTH PLAN FOR CENTRAL LOUISIANA WHICH FOCUSES ON THE HEALTH NEEDS OF LOW-INCOME, UNINSURED, AND VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. CHRISTUS HEALTH CENTRAL LOUISIANA WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN THE ORGANIZATION OF THE COMMUNITY LEADERS ENSURING THAT THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS WERE THE FOCUS OF THE GROUP. THE GROUP WAS LED BY AN INDEPENDENT COMMUNITY LEADER WHO CHAIRS THE DEPARTMENT OF ALLIED HEALTH SCIENCES AT LSU, ALEXANDRIA. THE TOP TEN PRIMARY COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS WERE IDENTIFIED AND DOCUMENTED IN THE STRATEGIC COMMUNITY HEALTH PLAN. THE STRATEGIC COMMUNITY HEALTH PLAN WAS INCORPORATED INTO THE STRATEGIC GOALS OF CHRISTUS HEALTH CENTRAL LOUISIANA. THE RESULTS OF THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT WERE USED TO DESIGN AND PRIORITIZE EFFECTIVE PLANS AND STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS THE IDENTIFIED NEEDS. CENTRAL LOUISIANA WILL NEED GREATER ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE, MORE CARE FOR THE MENTALLY ILL, AND ADEQUATE FUNDING FOR ALL PROVIDERS, BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE. CHRISTUS HEALTH CENTRAL LOUISIANA WORKS TO FACILITATE AND STRENGTHEN ACCESSIBILITY OF QUALITY COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH CARE SERVICES FOR ALL, ESPECIALLY THE VULNERABLE AND UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS. THE COMMUNITY GROUP OF STAKEHOLDERS CONTINUES TO MEET TO ENSURE ASSESSED NEEDS ARE UPDATED AND ADDRESSED WITH AVAILABLE RESOURCES. THE GROUP HAS COMMITTED TO CONTINUE WORK RELATED TO THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT IN CENTRAL LOUISIANA FOR THE LONG-TERM. Part VI, Line 3 Patient education of eligibility for assistance CHRISTUS Health Central Louisiana makes every effort to educate patients on its Charity and Discount Policy and about their eligibility for assistance under federal, state, or local government programs during registration, pre registration (for scheduled tests and surgeries), post registration (during their hospitalization) and following discharge (telephone or written inquiry) in languages appropriate for the population being served. Patients are given information and forms by a financial counselor who helps them complete the forms during their inpatient and outpatient visits. Patients are asked to bring or mail supporting documentation to determine income, assets and household expenses. The Business Office reviews the application based on the information provided by the patient. If the patient qualifies for charity care or a discount, a new bill is generated. Patients who do not provide the required documentation are considered ineligible and are billed accordingly. If the documentation is provided at a later time, the patient may then be determined to be eligible for charity care or a discount. Documentation is retained by the billing office for seven years. A public notice regarding the charity care policy is posted in prominent places throughout the hospitals, including but not limited to the emergency room waiting areas and the admissions office waiting areas, as required by both the State of Texas Community Benefit Standard (which addresses the duties and responsibilities of nonprofit hospitals) and CHRISTUS Health Community Benefit Guidelines #050. In addition, a public notice regarding the charity care policy and information on financial assistance are also posted on the CHRISTUS HEALTH website. The information on financial assistance includes explanations on the availability of financial assistance, who qualifies, and how to apply for financial assistance.

Explanation	THE ORGANIZATION FOLLOWS CHRISTUS HEALTH MANAGEMENT DIRECTIVE NO. 0006, "CONTRiBUTIONS/DONATIONS TO OTHER ORGANIZATIONS". BEFORE ANY DONATION IS MADE, TWO CRITERIA ARE ADDRESSED: (1) ORGANIZATION TEST AND (2) IRS TEST. THE ORGANIZATION TEST ENSURES THAT DONATIONS ARE EXCLUSIVELY FOR CHARITABLE, SCIENTIFIC, EDUCATIONAL, AND RELIGIOUS PURPOSES, AND IN FURTHERANCE OF OUR PURPOSE OF SUPPORTING THE HEALING MINISTRY OF JESUS CHRIST AND ADVANCING, PROMOTING, AND SUPPORTING THE HEALTHCARE MINISTRIES OF THE SPONSORING CONGREGATIONS. CONTRIBUTIONS CAN BE MADE TO SUPPORT CHRISTUS SYSTEM MEMBERS AND TO OTHER QUALIFYING TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS, PARTICULARLY THOSE DESIGNED TO SUPPORT AND BENEFIT THE POOR AND UNDERSERVED. THE ORGANIZATION CONSIDERED FOR DONATIONS MUST BE AN IRS SECTION 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATION AND DOCUMENTATION TO THAT EFFECT OBTAINED. TO SATISFY THE IRS TEST, CONTRIBUTIONS GIVEN MUST BE DEDICATED TO ACHIEVING CHARITABLE PURPOSES NOT FOR PERSONAL BENEFIT, BUT FOR PUBLIC BENEFIT. CONTRIBUTIONS ARE PROHIBITED TO ORGANIZATIONS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS, CANDIDATES FOR OFFICE, OR CONDUCT MORE THAN INCIDENTAL LOBBYING. DOCUMENTATION MUST SUPPORT HOW THE DONATION MEETS ORGANIZATIONAL PURPOSES AND FURTHERANCE OF MISSION. DONATIONS SHOULD BE MODEST IN SCOPE. THE FILING ORGANIZATION PROVIDES INDIGENT FUNDING GRANTS TO CERTAIN COUNTIES VIA GRANTS PAID TO OTHER HOSPITALS AND HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS LOCATED WITHIN SUCH COUNTIES. THIS CHARITABLE DONATION HELPS RELIEVE THE ADDITIONAL EXPENSE OF HEALTHCARE FOR THE INDIGENT POPULATION WITHIN OUR COMMUNITIES THAT THE FILING ORGANIZATION MAY NOT DIRECTLY SERVE IN ONE OF ITS HOSPITALS. THIS IS A RESULT OF OUR MISSION TO EXTEND THE HEALING MINISTRY OF JESUS CHRIST, ESPECIALLY TO THE POOR AND UNDERSERVED.	Explanation

RELATED ORG DETERMINING CEO/EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S COMPENSATION FORM 990, SCHEDULE J, PART I, QUESTION 3 THE FILING ORGANIZATION'S CEO/EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR IS AN EMPLOYEE OF CHRISTUS HEALTH, A RELATED ORGANIZATION. AS A RESULT, COMPENSATION IS ESTABLISHED AT THE CHRISTUS HEALTH LEVEL AND THE FILING ORGANIZATION DOES NOT HAVE A ROLE IN IMPLEMENTING THE METHODS USED TO ESTABLISH COMPENSATION OR IN DETERMINING CEO/EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION. CHRISTUS HEALTH USES AN EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE TO ESTABLISH AND APPROVE THE COMPENSATION OF THE FILING ORGANIZATION'S CEO/EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. THIS COMMITTEE USES AN INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT WHO PERFORMS BI-ANNUAL COMPENSATION SURVEY. SUPPLEMENTAL NONQUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN FORM 990, SCHEDULE J, PART I, QUESTION 4B DEFERRED COMPENSATION INCLUDES EXECUTIVE DEFERRED INCOME ACCOUNT, SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT AND RETENTION PLAN, AND PENSION RESTORATION PLAN.

SOME ASSOCIATES ARE GRANDFATHERED UNDER AN EARLIER LEGACY PENSION PLAN. IF A PARTICIPANT HAS PROTECTED PENSION BENEFITS UNDER SUCH LEGACY PLANS, HIS/HER PERCENTAGE IS ZERO UNDER THE SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT AND RETENTION PLAN, AS THE PROTECTED BENEFIT IS ALREADY EQUAL TO OR BETTER THAN CURRENT MARKET.
