ExplanationThe Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) was conducted from September 2012 to June 2013. The purpose of the assessment was to gather information about local health needs and health behaviors. The Cooper Board of Trustees met on December 19, 2013 to review the findings of the CHNA and the recommended implementation strategy. The board voted to adopt the final summary report and the implementation strategy and provide the necessary resources and support to carry out the initiatives therein. Question 3: The Camden, Burlington, and Gloucester County Health Departments participated in the design and completion of Cooper's Community Health Needs Assessment, including meetings to identify and prioritize health needs. In addition, Cooper conducted a survey among our "key informants". Key informants were defined as community stakeholders with expert knowledge including public health and health care professionals, social service providers, non-profit leaders, business leaders, faith-based organizations, and other area authorities. An on-line survey tool gathered qualitative feedback from 113 key informants regarding preceptions of community needs and strengths across 3 key domains: - key health issues - health care access - challenges and solutions Question 4: The Tri-County (Burlington, Camden, and Gloucester Counties) Health Assessment Collaborative included the following partners: Cooper University Health Care, Kennedy Health System, Lourdes Health System, Inspira Medical Center-Woodbury, Virtua Health, and the Health Departments of Burlington, Camden and Gloucester Counties. Question 7: Rationale for community health needs not specifically addressed: Cooper recognizes that partnerships with community agencies have the broadest reach to improve community health issues. Cooper will not have a specific focus on the following need: Overweight/Obesity. Cooper will work to address overweight and obesity through the strategies within access to care and chronic disease management by offering supportive programs promoting nutrition and an increase in physical activity through the hospital and primary care physicians. The need is also better addressed by primary care physicians, community organizations and schools and Cooper will support and collaborate with these groups in efforts to address this need.ExplanationTxt

PART I, LINE 3CELIGIBILITY FOR DISCOUNTED CARE: The income based criteria used to determine eligibility is per New Jersey administrative code 10:52 sub chapters 11, 12 and 13, and based upon the 2013 poverty guidelines (Department of Health and Senior Services). Federal Poverty Guidelines ("FPG") are included in the criteria for determining eligibility for charity and discounted care.
PART I, LINE 7GFINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND CERTAIN OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS AT COST: NO COSTS RELATING TO SUBSIDIZED HEALTHCARE SERVICES ARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO ANY PHYSICIAN CLINICS.
PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN FPERCENT OF TOTAL EXPENSES: THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE INCLUDED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A) BUT SUBTRACTED FOR PURPOSES OF CALCULATING THE PERCENTAGE IN THIS COLUMN IS $66,856,816.
PART IICOMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES: THE HEALTH OF THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES IS OF COOPER'S UTMOST CONCERN. FROM HEALTHCARE PROGRAMS FOR THE COMMUNITY TO EDUCATIONAL AND EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS, COOPER STRIVES TO BE A RESPONSIBLE, INVOLVED COMMUNITY ADVOCATE. PLEASE SEE SCHEDULE O FOR THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STATEMENT.
PART III, SECTION A, LINE 4BAD DEBT EXPENSE: BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS CALCULATED USING THE PROVIDERS' BAD DEBT EXPENSE FROM FINANCIAL STATEMENT, NET OF ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AT CHARGES. COOPER HEALTH SYSTEM PREPARES AND ISSUES AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE ATTACHED TEXT WAS OBTAINED FROM THE FOOTNOTES TO THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE COOPER HEALTH SYSTEM - OBLIGATED GROUP. THE HEALTH SYSTEM PROVIDES CARE TO THOSE WHO MEET THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY PUBLIC LAW 1992 (CHAPTER 160) CHARITY CARE CRITERIA. CHARITY CARE IS PROVIDED WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ITS ESTABLISHED CHARGES. THE HEALTH SYSTEM MAINTAINS RECORDS TO IDENTIFY AND MONITOR THE LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE IT PROVIDES. THE COST OF SERVICES PROVIDED AND SUPPLIES FURNISHED UNDER ITS CHARITY CARE POLICY IS ESTIMATED USING INTERNAL COST DATA AND IS CALCULATED BASED ON THE HEALTH SYSTEMS COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM. THE TOTAL DIRECT AND INDIRECT AMOUNT OF CHARITY CARE PROVIDED, DETERMINED ON THE BASIS OF COST, WAS $62,073,000 AND $58,223,000 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012, RESPECTIVELY. THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S PATIENT ACCEPTANCE POLICY IS BASED UPON ITS MISSION STATEMENT AND ITS CHARITABLE PURPOSES. ACCORDINGLY, THE HEALTH SYSTEM ACCEPTS ALL PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. THIS POLICY RESULTS IN THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S ASSUMPTION OF HIGHER-THAN-NORMAL PATIENT RECEIVABLE CREDIT RISKS. TO THE EXTENT THAT THE HEALTH SYSTEM REALIZES ADDITIONAL LOSSES RESULTING FROM SUCH HIGHER CREDIT RISKS AND PATIENTS THAT ARE NOT IDENTIFIED OR DO NOT MEET THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S DEFINED CHARITY CARE POLICY, SUCH ADDITIONAL LOSSES ARE INCLUDED IN THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS. CHAPTER 160 ESTABLISHED THE CHARITY CARE SUBSIDY FUND AND THE HOSPITAL RELIEF SUBSIDY FUND TO PROVIDE A MECHANISM AND FUNDING SOURCE TO COMPENSATE CERTAIN HOSPITALS FOR CHARITY CARE. THE HEALTH SYSTEM RECORDED THE FOLLOWING AMOUNTS FROM THE FUNDS AS NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. THE AMOUNTS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE FROM YEAR TO YEAR BASED ON AVAILABLE STATE BUDGET AMOUNTS AND ALLOCATION METHODOLOGIES. A PROPORTIONATE AMOUNT IS IN PLACE THROUGH JUNE 2014. WHILE AMOUNTS ARE NOT FINALIZED FOR THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY'S FISCAL 2015 BUDGET, IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT FUNDING WILL BE SLIGHTLY REDUCED.
PART III, SECTION B, LINE 8MEDICARE: Medicare costs were derived from the 2013 Medicare Cost Report. Medicare underpayments (shortfall) and bad debt are community benefit and associated costs, in our opinion, should be includable on the Form 990, Schedule H, Part I. As outlined more fully below, the organization believes that these services and related costs promote the health of the community as a whole and are rendered in conjunction with the organization's charitable tax-exempt purposes and mission in providing medically necessary healthcare services to all individual's in a non-discriminatory manner without regard to race, color, creed, sex, national origin, religion or ability to pay and consistent with the community benefit standard promulated by the IRS. The community benefit standard is the current standard for a hospital for recognition as a tax-exempt and charitable organization under internal revenue code (IRC) section 501(c)(3). The organization is recognized as a tax-exempt entity and charitable organization under IRC section 501(c)(3). Although there is no definition in the tax code for the term "charitable", a regulation promulgated by the department of the treasury provides some guidance and states that "the term charitable is used in IRC section 501(c)(3) in its generally accepted legal sense," and provides examples of charitable purposes, including the relief of the indigent or unprivileged; the promotion of social welfare; and the advancement of education, religion, and science. Note it does not explicitly address the activities of hospitals. In the absence of explicit statutory or regulatory requirements applying the term "charitable" to hospitals, it has been left to the IRS to determine the criteria hospitals must meet to qualify as IRC section 501(c)(3) charitable organizations. The original standard was known as the charity care standard. This standard was replaced by the IRS with the community benefit standard which is the current standard.
PART III, SECTION C, LINE 9BCOLLECTION PRACTICES: THE ORGANIZATION EXPECTS PAYMENT AT THE TIME THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED. OUR POLICY IS TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT AS WELL AS IRC SECTION 501(R). EMERGENCY SERVICES WILL BE PROVIDED TO ALL PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE FOR PATIENTS BASED ON FINANCIAL NEED AS DEFINED IN THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE ON THE BASIS OF AGE, RACE, CREED, SEX, OR ABILITY TO PAY. PATIENTS WHO ARE UNABLE TO PAY MAY REQUEST A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO SERVICE OR DURING THE BILLING AND COLLECTION PROCESS. THE ORGANIZATION MAY REQUEST THE PATIENT TO APPLY FOR MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PRIOR TO APPLYING FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE ACCOUNT WILL NOT BE FORWARDED FOR COLLECTION DURING THE MEDICAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION PROCESS OR THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION PROCESS.

Schedule L, Part IVWith regard to conflicts of members of the board of trustees, the board policy on duality and conflict of interest requires trustees to disclose all relationships that may cause a conflict. The audit and ethics committee of the board of trustees reviews transactions that may involve a conflict of interest of an officer, director, trustee or key employee. These procedures are designed to provide for independent review of the transaction, determination of the availability of alternative transactions that do not pose a conflict of interest, and preservation of the organization's best interests in transactions where non-conflicting alternatives are not reasonably attainable. The audit and ethics committee makes a recommendation to the board of trustees with regard to such transactions, which then makes a determination whether the transaction is in the organization's best interest, whether the transaction is fair and reasonable and whether there is a legitimate business interest for such transaction. Any trustee with a conflict of interest with regard to such matter may not vote on such transaction.
Schedule L, Part IVFootnote # 1: The amount noted in Part IV, Column (c): $473,669 represents the amount paid by Cooper Health System to Conner Strong & Buckelew for insurance brokerage, consulting, risk manager and safety services. It should be additionally noted that Cooper's relationship with Conner Strong & Buckelew and its predecessors extends back approximately twenty five years and predates Mr. Norcross' board membership. Mr. Norcross is not personally involved either in the procurement, performance or supervision of any services rendered by Conner Strong & Buckelew to Cooper. The Conner Strong & Buckelew relationship has been annually reviewed by Cooper's independent audit/ethics committee and consulting and brokerage services have been periodically subjected to a competitive bidding process.
Schedule L, Part IVFootnote #2: Parker McCay PA (Parker) has been providing legal services to Cooper for more than twenty five years, predating George Norcross' membership on the Cooper Health System Board of Trustees. Mr. Norcross' brother, Philip, is a shareholder and a managing officer of Parker, but did not become such until well after the firm began providing legal services to Cooper. Parker's primary function as outside counsel is representing the Cooper Health System and its employees in defense of professional liability claims. Philip Norcross is not involved in the assignment, performance, or supervision of that work.
Schedule L, Part IVFootnote #3: Cardiovascular Associates of the Delaware Valley (CADV), a professional association, provides interventional and other cardiology services to patients. CHS, under an agreement for professional services (leased physicians), provides cardiothoracic surgical physicians' services on a part-time basis to CADV. Harvey A.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 11bForm 990 Review Process: As part of the tax return preparation process, the organization hired a professional CPA firm with experience and expertise in both healthcare and not-for-profit tax return preparation to prepare the Federal Form 990. The CPA firm's tax professionals worked closely with the organization's finance personnel and other senior management members of the organization and the system to obtain the information needed in order to prepare a complete and accurate tax return. The CPA firm prepared a draft Federal Form 990 and furnished it to the organization's finance personnel and other senior management members for their review. The organization's finance personnel and other senior management members reviewed the draft Federal Form 990 and discussed questions and comments with the CPA firm. Revisions were made to the draft Federal Form 990 where necessary and a final draft was furnished by the CPA firm to the organization's finance personnel and other senior management members for further review and approval. The Form 990 is then presented to and reviewed by the members of the Cooper Health System Ethics Committee of the Board of Trustees. The Bylaws of the Board of Trustees provide that this Committee of the Board review the annual Federal Tax Return prior to its filing. Once that Committee's review and approval process is complete, the completed Form 990 is shared with the entire Board prior to its filing with the IRS.

THE AUDIT AND ETHICS COMMITTEE ENSURES THE INDEPENDENCE OF THE SURVEY FIRM AND ITS REPORT, REVIEWS THE REPORT, WHICH INCLUDES THE RANGES RECOMMENDED BY THE INDEPENDENT FIRM BASED UPON MARKET DATA, AND FOLLOWING THIS REVIEW, THE AUDIT AND ETHICS COMMITTEE, AS APPROPRIATE, RECOMMENDS TO THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE THAT THE SALARY RANGES DOCUMENTED BY THE INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION SURVEY FIRM BE USED AS RANGES TO DETERMINE ACTUAL COMPENSATION TO SENIOR MANAGEMENT. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE EVALUATES PERFORMANCE OF EXECUTIVES, INCLUDING PRESIDENT/CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, CHIEF OPERATION OFFICER AND CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RELIES UPON THE APPROPRIATE COMPARABLE DATA AS ACCEPTED BY THE AUDIT AND ETHICS COMMITTEE, WHICH IS A WRITTEN COMPENSATION STUDY AND REASONABLENESS OPINION FROM AN INDEPENDENT FIRM WHICH SPECIALIZES IN THE REVIEWING OF HOSPITAL AND HEALTH CARE SYSTEM EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. THIS STUDY USED COMPARABLE GEOGRAPHIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC MARKET DATA, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, SIMILAR SIZED HOSPITALS, number OF LICENSED BEDS AND NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE.

COMMUNITY BENEFIT STATEMENT (CONTINUED)- Cooper Level One Trauma Center Each year, nearly 3,000 critically injured patients are transported to Cooper's Level I Trauma Center, South Jersey's only Level I trauma service. Whether they arrive by helicopter or ambulance, the mission of the trauma team remains the same: resuscitate, evaluate and treat the patient's injuries as quickly as possible. Cooper's Trauma Center is known and respected throughout the region and is the most active trauma center in the entire Delaware Valley. Cooper's trauma teams have saved tens of thousands of lives. The Trauma Center at Cooper was established in 1982 and is one of only three New Jersey state-designated Level I trauma centers. Cooper serves as the regional trauma center for southern New Jersey including Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Mercer, Ocean and Salem Counties; and as a resource for the Level II Trauma Centers in our region.

Physicians and surgeons were recruited from the best children's hospitals in the nation. And because they are experts in their field, they are also faculty members at Cooper Medical School of Rowan University. Cooper has the only pediatric trauma program in South Jersey, and the highest level Newborn Intensive Care Unit which was awarded NIDCAP Nursery Certification, only the second hospital in the world to receive this certification. Cooper also has a Regional Cleft-Palate Craniofacial Program. In addition to its facilities and staff, the CRH membership in the National Association of Children's Hospitals and Related Institutions (NACHRI) ensures access to the most current standards of pediatric care in practice in the U.S. CRH's participation in international, national, and statewide research collaboratives like the CRH's cancer group, AIDS clinical trials group and UMDNJ-New Jersey Medical School Asthma and Allergy Study Group also allow the CRH to offer patients access to the latest treatment modalities. Each year, about 5,000 children are admitted to the Children's Regional Hospital at Cooper for specialized care. Another 15,000 children are treated each year in its pediatric emergency room. In addition, there are more than 60,000 outpatient visits each year to the pediatric medicine and surgical specialists of the CRH. The CRH provides a wide range of pediatric services for infants, children and adolescents from southern New Jersey, Philadelphia and throughout the Delaware Valley. The CRH's services are comprehensive with the clinical staff and medical technology to diagnose the most complex pediatric diseases in an environment where the focus is on the child and the family.

COMMUNITY BENEFIT STATEMENT (CONTINUED)The Medical Coordination Center (MCC) serves as the regional hub for healthcare related emergency planning, training and response. The MCC located at CUH provides situational awareness, resource management, and information management for the healthcare continuum as it relates to emergency preparedness, response, mitigation and recovery. The primary area of responsibility for the CUH MCC is the entire Southern Region of New Jersey which consists of the 7 Southern most counties as well as integration with Southeastern Pennsylvania (including the City of Philadelphia) and the State of Delaware (including the City of Wilmington). The MCC utilizes the expertise provided by the Division of EMS and Disaster Medicine, regional law enforcement, fire departments, emergency medical services, CBRNE (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive) teams, technical rescue teams, etc., to assist the healthcare continuum in meeting their mission.

Translation services for patients - Cooper provides translation services for patients whose first language is not English 6. Camden Coalition of Healthcare Providers - Cooper provides significant support to this organization which was created as an opportunity for providers to network and discuss the common issues they face in running medical practices in Camden and providing care in a poor, urban environment. Camden Citywide Care Management Project In September 2007, the Coalition began implementation of a Citywide Care Management Project to reach out to high utilizers of city emergency rooms and hospitals. A part-time nurse practitioner, community health worker, and a full-time social worker staff the project. Patients are enrolled to the project by referral from emergency department physicians, inpatient physicians, and social workers. The project provides "transitional" primary care with a goal of moving the patients into a primary care setting that can meet their needs. With over sixty patients enrolled in our project; we are visiting them in homeless shelters, abandoned homes, hospital rooms, ED gurneys, and street corners. Practice Capacity Building Project The Coalition's philosophy is that by increasing capacity within local primary care offices we can help them achieve higher patient satisfaction, improved economic viability, and better health outcomes. Monthly roundtable meetings and seminars have been held for local office managers and providers to encourage peer-to-peer linkages, increase skills and knowledge of modern medical office management techniques and educate in specific practice management topics. Participation in this group leads to on-site consultation for individual offices, focusing on process flows, operations management, analyzing cycle times, and information management. Expansion of Access to Mental Health Care Psychiatry services are extremely difficult to access in underserved communities. The Coalition is developing a system of joint primary care/psychiatry appointments to increase a primary care provider's capacity to provide mental health care. The psychiatrist will provide mentoring, coaching and consultation to the primary provider. Palliative Care Program The Palliative Care Program is designed to be integrated as part of a patient's care plan at any time, to manage symptoms related to treatment such as chemotherapy, or for symptoms that linger or appear after treatment is complete. Palliative care is the comprehensive treatment of the discomfort, symptoms and stress of serious illness. It does not replace a patient's primary treatment, but works together with treatment at any point in a patient's care. Palliative care also addresses psychological, social and spiritual concerns - all to achieve the best quality of life possible for each patient. At Cooper, the Palliative Care Program can help patients manage the common side effects of illness such as: pain, fatigue, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, depression and anxiety, difficulty breathing, loss of appetite and weight loss, weakness, sleep problems, confusion and end-of-life care. Research-clinical and community health The Cooper Research Institute, established in January 2003, coordinates clinical trials and supports researchers at Cooper. Through basic and clinical research, faculty at Cooper is bringing scientific discoveries to life and providing thousands of patients in South Jersey with access to cutting-edge treatments in fields such as cancer, cardiology, critical care, diabetes, and gene therapy. Cooper faculty members currently conduct approximately 340 NIH and industry-sponsored clinical trials each year. Many of these studies are only available in South Jersey at Cooper. By participating in a clinical trial, an individual may have the first chance to benefit from improved treatment methods and the opportunity to make an important contribution to medical science. Past research by Cooper faculty has led to new standards of care and novel therapies in fields such as cancer, cardiology, surgery, and orthopedics. For example, Cooper faculty members have conducted studies that led to: new cancer treatments such as Rituxan for lymphoma, Iressa for advanced non-small cell lung cancer, Tamoxifen to prevent breast cancer, and Cisplatin plus radiation therapy for cervical cancer. Among other medical advances credited to the Cooper Research Institute are: Cash in kind contributions to community groups Cooper sponsors various non-profit organizations to promote and build a healthy community.
