        <Explanation>Nationally recognized for quality, McLeod Health is a not-for-profit regional medical center that is built on the foundation of premier technology, modern facilities, and an unsurpassed dedication to improving the health of the community it serves. The service area covers a 15 county area encompassing nearly 11,500 square miles and a population of more than one million. Since 1906, McLeod Health has been the choice for medical excellence for the communities it has impacted. The hospitals within McLeod include McLeod Regional Medical Center in Florence, McLeod Darlington, McLeod Behavioral Health Center, McLeod Dillon, and, as of January 2012, McLeod Loris and McLeod Seacoast. The Florence facility is the flagship of McLeod Health. This regional referral center features an accredited Cancer Center and Heart &amp; Vascular Institute, three dedicated open-heart surgery suites as well as Centers of Excellence in Heart, Cancer, Surgery, Neurosurgery, Trauma, Children's and Women's Services, and the Center for Advanced Surgery. Additionally, McLeod provides Home Health Services, Hospice, Diabetes Services, state of the art radiology, Health and Fitness, Physical and Cardiac Rehab programs and more. Most recently, McLeod has invested in the community by building a Center for Intensive Care and a new Cancer Center building. The McLeod Foundation also helps financially support specific programs, growth and projects, through philanthropy and grants. McLeod Health strives to recruit and retain employees that have proven their dedication and loyalty to serving others. Recruitment and retention of dedicated employees demonstrates a loyalty to the healthcare environment. Sustaining critical services and adding an additional personal touch to each patient is accomplished every day by 750 physicians and 6,300 employees. Currently, McLeod Regional Medical center in Florence has nearly 500 beds, and in total, McLeod Health includes 883 licensed beds for patient care. These, coupled with the diverse number of services provided, allow McLeod to meet the unique and vast array of health care needs in our 12 county service area. As one of the region's largest service organizations, including physicians, nurses, and pharmacists, as well as computer technicians, environmental workers, therapists, and other medical professionals, McLeod employees' direct wage impact to the region last year was $299 Million. This money flows to groceries stores, car dealers, restaurants, churches, local vendors and suppliers and other organizations to help stimulate the region's economy each year. The challenge in today's medical climate is to improve the quality of care and the ability of healthcare providers to reduce cost while maintaining quality. This is due to the fact of the shrinking reimbursements and healthcare reform. McLeod has continued to provide and grow essential services to care for patients in the region with the core values of Caring, Person, Quality and Integrity as a guide to quality and operational efficiency. McLeod has been recognized numerous times for its outstanding work in quality care, best practices, and clinically proven outcomes. Guests from across the globe seek out McLeod teams to share and observe best practices in quality and safety. These extensive efforts have resulted in the 2010 American Hospital Association- McKesson Quest for Quality Prize, in which McLeod was the first hospital in South Carolina to be presented with this honor since its inception. McLeod Health has numerous initiatives in place to provide community benefits that promote prevention, healing, and treatment. Some of these initiatives include health education, support groups, city sponsored and industry health fairs, health screenings and immunizations, free and discounted medical supplies, research, and financial and in-kind contributions. The community outreach budget allocates approximately $250,000 across the healthcare system to sponsorships and donations to serve in civic, academic and corporate partnerships. McLeod is proactively affiliating with academic institutions to address our community's healthcare needs. McLeod facilitates a Family Medicine Residency Program and sponsors the Medical University of South Carolina bachelor's degree nursing program as well as Florence Darlington Technical College's associate degree nursing program. Rotations at McLeod Regional Medical Center in clinical and administrative areas are offered to students from educational programs throughout the state, and the South East Cancer Control Consortium collaborates with McLeod in the field of cancer treatment. Through these structured programs, the complex world of healthcare unfolds for participants for further study. Dedicated to stewardship and service for more than 107 years, McLeod has prudently built and developed reserves in order to continue to grow as a mission minded hospital committed to improving the health of our people in the region. In terms of surpluses, like any business or family, a hospital must earn more than it spends to be viable and fulfill its mission. McLeod has set aside funds for the future growth needed in healthcare services. These funds are professionally managed and are in accordance with guidelines established by Moody's Investors Service for a service organization appropriate to McLeod's size and scope. Money from the operating margin is reinvested in the local economy and used for expansion or replacement of equipment, technology and facilities to meet the highest standards of care, quality and safety for patients. Improvements translate to services needed in our community, as well as access to medical care for acutely ill patients and those impacted by the state's most prevalent diseases, many of which are the highest in the nation. McLeod's projects and medical developments are consistent with the needs identified by South Carolina DHEC's State Health Plan. Every year, these hospitals serve 150,000 patients in their emergency rooms, regardless of a persons ability to pay. McLeod Health hospitals annually diagnose or treat nearly half a million people as outpatients and care for more than 30,000 ill and surgical inpatients. The hospitals and their Emergency Departments are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In Fiscal Year 2012, McLeod Health provided the region with significant amounts worth of Charity Care to benefit community families. McLeod Health not only provides community benefit through the services offered but also by stimulating the local economy. Last year, more than $13 Million was contributed in sales tax, approximately $479,000 in Property Taxes, and more than $14.1 Million in hospital provider taxes to benefit the communities where its employees and patients live and work. Healthy lifestyle promotion is a fundamental principle of McLeod. Health screenings are offered to the community to check for problems in blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, breast, skin and prostate cancer, osteoporosis, peripheral vascular disease, and stroke. Nearly 100 support groups, classes, health fairs, seminars, screenings and programs free or at a reduced cost are provided to attendees seeking to learn about and deal with many medical issues. Childbirth preparation classes, Infant/Child CPR, Child Safety Passenger Checks from McLeod SafeKids, and SafeSitters sessions are offered. In addition, a computer located in the McLeod Resource Center is available to the public for Internet access to the most current health information. These benefits to the community demonstrate the heart of serving and compassionate care that is the core, and the legacy, of McLeod Health.</Explanation>
