PERCENT OF TOTAL EXPENSE	SCHEDULE H, PART I; QUESTION 7 COLUMN (F)	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 $6,295,235.
CHARITY CARE AND CERTAIN OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFIT COST	SCHEDULE H, PART I, QUESTION 7	WORKSHEET 2 WAS USED TO CALCULATE THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO.
COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES	SCHEDULE H, PART II	COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN BY THIS ORGANIZATION IMPROVE THE MEDICAL AND SOCIOECONOMIC WELL-BEING OF THE COMMUNITIES IN OUR CARE. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH SERVICE ON STATE AND REGIONAL ADVOCACY COMMITTEES AND BOARDS, VOLUNTEERISM WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY-BASED NON-PROFIT ADVOCACY GROUPS, AND PARTICIPATION IN CONFERENCES AND OTHER EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES TO PROMOTE UNDERSTANDING OF THE ROOT CAUSES OF HEALTH CONCERNS. THIS ORGANIZATION PROVIDES EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS, CONDUCTS COMMUNITY HEALTH FAIRS AND HOLDS HEALTH EDUCATION SEMINARS AND OUTREACH SESSIONS FOR ITS PATIENTS AND FOR COMMUNITY PROVIDERS. PRESENTATIONS ARE PROVIDED BY PHYSICIANS, NURSES AND OTHER HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS.
BAD DEBT EXPENSE	SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A; QUESTION 4	BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS CALCULATED USING THE PROVIDERS' BAD DEBT EXPENSE FROM ITS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE ORGANIZATION AND ITS AFFILIATES PREPARE AND ISSUE AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE SYSTEM'S ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS (BAD DEBT EXPENSE) METHODOLOGY AND CHARITY CARE POLICIES ARE CONSISTENTLY APPLIED ACROSS ALL HOSPITAL AFFILIATES. THE ATTACHED TEXT WAS OBTAINED FROM THE FOOTNOTES TO THE AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE ORGANIZATION AND ITS AFFILIATES. NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE THE HOSPITAL HAS AGREEMENTS WITH THIRD-PARTY PAYORS THAT PROVIDE FOR PAYMENTS TO THE HOSPITAL AT AMOUNTS DIFFERENT FROM ITS ESTABLISHED RATES. THE BASIS FOR PAYMENT UNDER THESE AGREEMENTS INCLUDE PROSPECTIVELY DETERMINED RATES PER DISCHARGE AND PER DAY, DISCOUNTS FROM ESTABLISHED CHARGES, CAPITATED PER MEMBER PER MONTH PAYMENTS, AND CERTAIN COST REIMBURSEMENT METHODOLOGIES. NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IS REPORTED AT THE ESTIMATED NET REALIZABLE AMOUNTS FROM PATIENTS, THIRD-PARTY PAYORS, AND OTHERS FOR SERVICES RENDERED, INCLUDING ESTIMATED RETROACTIVE ADJUSTMENTS UNDER REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENTS WITH THIRD-PARTY PAYORS. RETROACTIVE ADJUSTMENTS ARE CONSIDERED IN THE RECOGNITION OF REVENUE ON AN ESTIMATED BASIS IN THE PERIOD THE RELATED SERVICES ARE RENDERED AND ADJUSTED IN FUTURE PERIODS AS FINAL SETTLEMENTS ARE DETERMINED. MEDICARE COST REPORTS FOR ALL YEARS PRIOR TO 2008 HAVE BEEN AUDITED AND ARE FINAL AND SETTLED AS OF JUNE 30, 2010. THE 2008 THROUGH 2011 MEDICARE COST REPORTS HAVE BEEN FILED AND ARE AWAITING FINAL SETTLEMENT AS OF JUNE 30, 2012. THE HOSPITAL DID NOT HAVE ANY AMOUNTS INCLUDED IN NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2012 AND 2011, RESPECTIVELY, RELATED TO THIRD-PARTY PAYORS FINAL SETTLEMENTS FOR FISCAL YEARS 2007 AND PRIOR. INCLUDED IN THE HOSPITAL'S NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUES ARE PAYMENTS MADE ON BEHALF OF THE MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PROGRAMS. THESE PAYMENTS REPRESENT 27% AND 6% OF NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE, RESPECTIVELY, FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2012 AND 25% AND 6% OF NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE, RESPECTIVELY, FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2011. LAWS AND REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PROGRAM PAYMENTS ARE COMPLEX AND SUBJECT TO INTERPRETATION. THE HOSPITAL BELIEVES THAT IT IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS AS THEY RELATE TO THESE PROGRAMS. SUCH LAWS AND REGULATIONS CAN BE SUBJECT TO REVIEW AND INTERPRETATION BY THE MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PROGRAMS. CHARITY CARE THE HOSPITAL AND LHC, UNDER THEIR CHARITY CARE POLICIES, PROVIDE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF SERVICES WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ITS ESTABLISHED RATES TO PATIENTS WHO ARE UNABLE TO COMPENSATE EITHER ENTITY FOR THEIR TREATMENTS EITHER THROUGH THIRD PARTY COVERAGE OR THEIR OWN RESOURCES. BECAUSE CHARITY CARE AMOUNTS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE PAID, THEY ARE NOT REPORTED AS REVENUE. THE COST OF CHARITY CARE IS BASED ON A CALCULATION WHICH APPLIES A RATIO OF COSTS TO CHARGES TO THE GROSS UNCOMPENSATED CHARGES ASSOCIATED WITH PROVIDING CARE TO CHARITY PATIENTS. THE RATIO OF COSTS TO CHARGES IS CALCULATED BASED ON THE TOTAL EXPENSES (LESS BAD DEBT AND COMMUNITY BENEFIT EXPENSE) DIVIDED BY GROSS PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. THE ESTIMATED COSTS OF CARING FOR CHARITY CARE PATIENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDING JUNE 30, 2012 AND 2011 WERE $10,555,000 AND $10,799,000 RESPECTIVELY. THERE WERE NO FUNDS RECEIVED FROM GIFTS AND GRANTS TO SUBSIDIZE CHARITY SERVICES FOR FISCAL YEARS 2012 AND 2011. IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL AND LHC PROVIDE SERVICES AND SUPPLIES AT AMOUNTS BELOW COST TO PERSONS COVERED BY GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS, INCLUDING MEDICARE AND MEDICAID. THE HOSPITAL ALSO SPONSORS CERTAIN OTHER SUBSIDIZED PROGRAMS AND CHARITY SERVICES THAT PROVIDE SUBSTANTIAL BENEFIT TO THE BROADER COMMUNITY. SUCH SERVICES AND PROGRAMS INCLUDE COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAMS DESIGNED FOR SPECIFIC HEALTHCARE CONCERNS, INCLUDING HEALTH EDUCATION, SUPPORT GROUPS AND HEALTH SCREENINGS.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT	SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B; QUESTION 8	FINANCIAL INFORMATION LISTED ON SCHEDULE H PART III LINES 5, 6 & 7 WERE DERIVED FROM THE HOSPITAL"S COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM AND NOT THE 2012 FILED MEDICARE COST REPORT. USING THE COST REPORT WOULD RESULT IN AN INCREASE TO THE AMOUNT ON LINE 5 OF $954,842 AND A DECREASE TO LINE 6 OF $2,155,959. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE 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 INDIVIDUALS 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 PROMULGATED 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") 501(C)(3). THE ORGANIZATION IS RECOGNIZED AS A TAX-EXEMPT ENTITY AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER 501(C)(3) OF THE IRC. 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 "[T]HE TERM CHARITABLE IS USED IN SECTION 501(C)(3) IN ITS GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE," AND PROVIDES EXAMPLES OF CHARITABLE PURPOSES, INCLUDING THE RELIEF OF THE POOR 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 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. CHARITY CARE STANDARD IN 1956, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 56-185, WHICH ADDRESSED THE REQUIREMENTS HOSPITALS NEEDED TO MEET IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR IRC 501(C)(3) STATUS. ONE OF THESE REQUIREMENTS IS KNOWN AS THE "CHARITY CARE STANDARD." UNDER THE STANDARD, A HOSPITAL HAD TO PROVIDE, TO THE EXTENT OF ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY, FREE OR REDUCED-COST CARE TO PATIENTS UNABLE TO PAY FOR IT. A HOSPITAL THAT EXPECTED FULL PAYMENT DID NOT, ACCORDING TO THE RULING, PROVIDE CHARITY CARE BASED ON THE FACT THAT SOME PATIENTS ULTIMATELY FAILED TO PAY. THE RULING EMPHASIZED THAT A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE DID NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT A HOSPITAL HAD FAILED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENT SINCE THAT LEVEL COULD REFLECT ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PROVIDE SUCH CARE. THE RULING ALSO NOTED THAT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED COMMUNITY HOSPITALS WOULD NORMALLY QUALIFY AS CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS BECAUSE THEY SERVE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY, AND A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE WOULD NOT AFFECT A HOSPITAL'S EXEMPT STATUS IF IT WAS DUE TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY'S LACK OF CHARITABLE DEMANDS. COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IN 1969, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH "REMOVE[D]" FROM REVENUE RULING 56-185 "THE REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO CARING FOR PATIENTS WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT RATES BELOW COST." UNDER THE STANDARD DEVELOPED IN REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE "COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD," HOSPITALS ARE JUDGED ON WHETHER THEY PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF A BROAD CLASS OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE RULING INVOLVED A HOSPITAL THAT ONLY ADMITTED INDIVIDUALS WHO COULD PAY FOR THE SERVICES (BY THEMSELVES, PRIVATE INSURANCE, OR PUBLIC PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICARE), BUT OPERATED A FULL-TIME EMERGENCY ROOM THAT WAS OPEN TO EVERYONE. THE IRS RULED THAT THE HOSPITAL QUALIFIED AS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION BECAUSE IT PROMOTED THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN ITS COMMUNITY. THE IRS REASONED THAT BECAUSE THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH WAS A CHARITABLE PURPOSE ACCORDING TO THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY, IT FELL WITHIN THE "GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE" OF THE TERM "CHARITABLE," AS REQUIRED BY TREAS. REG. 1.501(C)(3)-1(D)(2). THE IRS RULING STATED THAT THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH, LIKE THE RELIEF OF POVERTY AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION AND RELIGION, IS ONE OF THE PURPOSES IN THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY THAT IS DEEMED BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE EVEN THOUGH THE CLASS OF BENEFICIARIES ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A DIRECT BENEFIT FROM ITS ACTIVITIES DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, SUCH AS INDIGENT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, PROVIDED THAT THE CLASS IS NOT SO SMALL THAT ITS RELIEF IS NOT OF BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. THE IRS CONCLUDED THAT THE HOSPITAL WAS "PROMOTING THE HEALTH OF A CLASS OF PERSONS THAT IS BROAD ENOUGH TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY" BECAUSE ITS EMERGENCY ROOM WAS OPEN TO ALL AND IT PROVIDED CARE TO EVERYONE WHO COULD PAY, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT. OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HOSPITAL THAT THE IRS HIGHLIGHTED INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING: ITS SURPLUS FUNDS WERE USED TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE, EXPAND HOSPITAL FACILITIES, AND ADVANCE MEDICAL TRAINING, EDUCATION, AND RESEARCH; IT WAS CONTROLLED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES THAT CONSISTED OF INDEPENDENT CIVIC LEADERS; AND HOSPITAL MEDICAL STAFF PRIVILEGES WERE AVAILABLE TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS. THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION ("AHA") BELIEVES THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THIS ORGANIZATION AGREES WITH THE AHA POSITION. AS OUTLINED IN THE AHA LETTER TO THE IRS DATED AUGUST 21, 2007 WITH RESPECT TO THE FIRST PUBLISHED DRAFT OF THE NEW FORM 990 AND SCHEDULE H, THE AHA FELT THAT THE IRS SHOULD INCORPORATE THE FULL VALUE OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT THAT HOSPITALS PROVIDE BY COUNTING MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: - PROVIDING CARE FOR THE ELDERLY AND SERVING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD. - MEDICARE, LIKE MEDICAID, DOES NOT PAY THE FULL COST OF CARE. RECENTLY, MEDICARE REIMBURSES HOSPITALS ONLY 92 CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR THEY SPEND TO TAKE CARE OF MEDICARE PATIENTS. THE MEDICARE PAYMENT ADVISORY COMMISSION ("MEDPAC") IN ITS MARCH 2007 REPORT TO CONGRESS CAUTIONED THAT UNDERPAYMENT WILL GET EVEN WORSE, WITH MARGINS REACHING A 10-YEAR LOW AT NEGATIVE 5.4 PERCENT. - MANY MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE POOR. MORE THAN 46 PERCENT OF MEDICARE SPENDING IS FOR BENEFICIARIES WHOSE INCOME IS BELOW 200 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. MANY OF THOSE MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID -- SO CALLED "DUAL ELIGIBLES." THERE IS EVERY COMPELLING PUBLIC POLICY REASON TO TREAT MEDICARE AND MEDICAID UNDERPAYMENTS SIMILARLY FOR PURPOSES OF A HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND INCLUDE THESE COSTS ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT MUST BE SHOULDERED BY THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE COMMUNITY'S ELDERLY AND POOR. THESE UNDERPAYMENTS REPRESENT A REAL COST OF SERVING THE COMMUNITY AND SHOULD COUNT AS A QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT. BOTH THE AHA AND THIS ORGANIZATION ALSO FEEL THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. LIKE MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT (SHORTFALLS), THERE ALSO ARE COMPELLING REASONS THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT SHOULD BE COUNTED AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS FOLLOWS: - A SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO LOW-INCOME PATIENTS, WHO, FOR MANY REASONS, DECLINE TO COMPLETE THE FORMS REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH ELIGIBILITY FOR HOSPITALS' CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. A 2006 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE ("CBO") REPORT, NONPROFIT HOSPITALS AND THE PROVISION OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS, CITED TWO STUDIES INDICATING THAT "THE GREAT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT WAS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WITH INCOMES BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE." - THE REPORT ALSO NOTED THAT A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. UNLIKE BAD DEBT IN OTHER INDUSTRIES, HOSPITAL BAD DEBT IS COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT HOSPITALS FOLLOW THEIR MISSION TO THE COMMUNITY AND TREAT EVERY PATIENT THAT COMES THROUGH THEIR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. PATIENTS WHO HAVE OUTSTANDING BILLS ARE NOT TURNED AWAY, UNLIKE OTHER INDUSTRIES. BAD DEBT IS FURTHER COMPLICATED BY THE AUDITING INDUSTRY'S STANDARDS ON REPORTING CHARITY CARE. MANY PATIENTS CANNOT OR DO NOT PROVIDE THE NECESSARY, EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED TO BE DEEMED CHARITY CARE BY AUDITORS. AS A RESULT, ROUGHLY 40% OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. - THE CBO CONCLUDED THAT ITS FINDINGS "SUPPORT THE VALIDITY OF THE USE OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE [BAD DEBT AN
COLLECTION POLICY	SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B; QUESTION 9B	ACCOUNTS CONSIDERED TO BE CHARITY CARE ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE BAD DEBT EXPENSE, BUT RATHER, ACCOUNTED FOR AS AN ALLOWANCE. IT IS THE POLICY OF THE ABINGTON HEALTH SYSTEM BUSINESS OFFICE, AND ALL ITS HOSPITAL AFFILIATES, TO TREAT ALL PATIENTS EQUALLY REGARDLESS OF INSURANCE AND THEIR ABILITY TO PAY.

PATIENTS APPLYING FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WILL BE FINANCIALLY SCREENED BY A RESOURCE ADVISOR TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY ACCORDING TO STATE AND FEDERAL GUIDELINES AND WILL BE INFORMED OF DOCUMENTATION NEEDED TO COMPLETE A CHARITY CARE APPLICATION. PATIENTS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR CHARITY CARE AND/OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WILL BE FINANCIALLY COUNSELED FOR ALL OTHER OPTIONS. QUALIFIED PATIENTS WILL BE REFERRED TO ALL APPROPRIATE AGENCIES OR PROGRAMS TO MEET OTHER FINANCIAL NEEDS. AT THE TIME OF THE PATIENT VISIT AND PART OF THE REGISTRATION PROCESS AT THE FACILITY, THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS ARE MADE AVAILABLE TO PATIENTS: - FINANCIAL COUNSELING FOR POSSIBLE ELIGIBILITY FOR MEDICAL ASSISTANCE INCLUDING MEDICAID AND SSI; - FINANCIAL COUNSELING FOR POSSIBLE ELIGIBILITY FOR THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM; AND, - FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS INCLUDING: 1.

BACKGROUND ---------- LHC SERVES ITS COMMUNITY BY PROVIDING THE HIGHEST QUALITY AND MOST COST-EFFECTIVE HEALTHCARE TO ALL. LHC IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING COMPREHENSIVE, QUALITY HEALTHCARE SERVICES WHICH IMPROVE AND SUSTAIN THE HEALTH STATUS OF THE RESIDENTS PRIMARILY IN THE GREATER NORTH PENN REGION, EASTERN MONTGOMERY, AND PORTIONS OF BUCKS COUNTIES, PENNSYLVANIA. LHC ASSURES ACCESSIBLE, COMPASSIONATE HEALTHCARE SERVICES THAT HONOR THE DIGNITY OF EVERY PERSON. LHC IS A LEADER IN DEFINING ITS COMMUNITY'S HEALTHCARE NEEDS, IN PROVIDING APPROPRIATE SOLUTIONS, AND DEVELOPING A COMPREHENSIVE CONTINUUM OF CARE INCLUDING EDUCATION, PREVENTION, DISEASE MANAGEMENT AND RESTORATIVE PROGRAMS. THE FORMER NORTH PENN HOSPITAL WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1939 IN LANSDALE, PENNSYLVANIA, A NON-PROFIT COMMUNITY HOSPITAL, TO PROVIDE ACCESSIBLE HEALTH SERVICES TO RESIDENTS OF THE GREATER NORTH PENN COMMUNITY. ORIGINALLY NAMED ELM TERRACE HOSPITAL, THE HOSPITAL FIRST CARED FOR PATIENTS IN A BUILDING AT SEVENTH AND BROAD STREETS OWNED BY A LOCAL PHYSICIAN, FRANK E. BOSTON. DR. BOSTON ALSO WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN THE FOUNDING OF A COMMUNITY AMBULANCE COMPANY KNOWN AS THE VOLUNTEER MEDICAL SERVICE CORPS.

ON APRIL 19, 1980 THE HOSPITAL, WITH THE HELP OF A FLEET OF LOCAL AMBULANCES, MOVED OPERATIONS TO THE NEW BUILDING LOCATED AT 100 MEDICAL CAMPUS DRIVE. THE MOVE WAS ACCOMPLISHED IN LESS THAN 4 HOURS WITH NO INTERRUPTION TO PATIENT CARE OR SERVICE. DURING THE 1980'S THE HOSPITAL CONTINUED TO MEET THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY BY ESTABLISHING ALLIANCES WITH URBAN HOSPITALS TO PROVIDE SPECIALIZED CARE. AMONG THESE WERE HAHNEMANN HOSPITAL, TEMPLE UNIVERSITY AND FOX CHASE CANCER CENTER.
