IdentifierIdentifier	Return ReferenceReturnReference	ExplanationExplanation
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFITS AT COST	SCHEDULE H, PART I, LINE 7	COSTS ARE REPORTED USING A COST TO CHARGE RATIO. THE RATIO WAS CALCULATED BY DIVIDING TOTAL CHARGES RECORDED FOR ALL PATIENTS BY TOTAL EXPENSES REQUIRED TO PROVIDE THAT CARE. LINE 7G - THE AMOUNT REPORTED INCLUDES $796,983 OF COSTS RELATED TO THE OPERATIONS OF PHYSICIAN CLINICS.
COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES	SCHEDULE H, PART II, LINES 3 & 7	THE HOSPITAL WORKS WITH CITY STATE AND FEDERAL AGENCIES TO INSURE THE INDIVIDUALS OF THE COMMUNITY HAVE ACCESS TO THE LEVEL OF CARE REQUIRED AND THAT ACCESS TO THAT CARE IS NOT HINDERED. PCH EFFORTS INCLUDE WORKING WITH POLICY MAKERS AT ALL LEVELS TO ADDRESS HOW THE COMMUNITY CAN ACCESS HEALTH CARE AND AT WHAT COST. EFFORTS ALSO INCLUDE TRAINING HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS AND GIVING PROVIDERS ACCESS TO LINGUISTIC INTERPRETING, MULTICULTURAL DIVERSITY EDUCATION AND INTERPRETING ETHICS.
COSTING METHODOLOGY	SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 2	THE METHODOLOGY USED WAS TO TAKE TOTAL BAD DEBT CHARGES WRITTEN OFF MULTIPLIED BY THE HOSPITAL COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO. BAD DEBT EXPENSE SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 4 PAGE 16 OF THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTAINS THE FOOTNOTE THAT ADDRESSES ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS.
MEDICARE	SCHEDULE H, PART III, LINE 8	THE SHORTFALL OF REVENUE OVER THE COST TO PROVIDE CARE WHICH IS CALCULATED USING THE HOSPITAL'S COST TO CHARGE RATIO SHOULD BE CONSIDERED CHARITY CARE. THE COSTS WERE CALCULATED USING THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO FROM THE MOST RECENTLY FILED MEDICARE COST REPORT.
FACILITY INFORMATION	SCHEDULE H, PART V, SECTION B, LINE 20D	AMOUNTS ARE BASED ON A SLIDING FEE SCHEDULE TIED TO THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL.
NEEDS ASSESSMENT	SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 2	COMMUNITY NEEDS ARE DETERMINED VIA AN ASSESSMENT OF MULTIPLE STAKEHOLDERS, STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT REPORTS, AND PATIENT DATA. PRIORITIES AND PROGRAMS ARE DEVELOPED TO SERVE THESE DEMONSTRATED NEEDS, WITH A SPECIAL FOCUS ON POPULATIONS THAT ARE KNOWN TO HAVE DIFFICULTY ACCESSING CARE AND PROGRAMS THAT IMPROVE OVERALL PEDIATRIC HEALTH AND SAFETY.
PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE	SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 3	FINANCIAL COUNSELORS ARE AVAILABLE TO ASSIST PATIENTS WITH INSURANCE COMPANIES, STATE AGENCIES, ACCESS TO PCH DISCOUNTED CARE OR APPLYING FOR THE HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE POLICY. INFORMATION REGARDING THE CHARITY CARE POLICY IS AVAILABLE ON OUR WEB SITE. FINANCIAL COUNSELORS INTERVIEW PARENTS OF CHILDREN WHO ARE UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED. AHCCCS APPLICATIONS ARE INITIATED BY PCH ON BEHALF OF THE PATIENTS AND IF THE PARENTS DO NOT QUALIFY, FINANCIAL COUNSELORS PROCEED WITH THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROCESS.
COMMUNITY INFORMATION	SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 4	BASED ON STATISTICS GATHERED BY THE ANN E. CASEY KIDSCOUNT SURVEY, THE STATE OF ARIZONA HAS A POPULATION OF OVER 1.6 MILLION PEOPLE UNDER THE AGE OF 18, 28% OF WHICH ARE 4 YEARS AND UNDER. THE SAME POPULATION IS 41% WHITE AND 43% HISPANIC. THE U.S. CENSUS BUREAU RELEASED NEW HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE DATA FROM THE CURRENT POPULATION SURVEY. THE MOST RECENT TWO YEAR PERIOD, 2011/2012, SHOWS THAT ARIZONA HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR CHILDREN REMAINED UNCHANGED FROM THE PREVIOUS TWO YEARS, 2009/2010. THIS MEANS THAT NEARLY A QUARTER OF A MILLION CHILDREN OR ROUGHLY 14% OF ALL CHILDREN IN ARIZONA CONTINUE TO GO WITHOUT HEALTH CARE SERVICES THAT HEALTH INSURANCE PROVIDES.
PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH	SCHEDULE H, PART VI, LINE 5	PCH HAS DEVELOPED SIGNATURE COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAMS THAT SERVE SPECIFIC POPULATIONS WITH SERIOUS HEALTHCARE NEEDS AND LIMITED ACCESS TO CARE. ONE EXAMPLE IS THE CREWS'N HEALTHMOBILE MOBILE MEDICAL VAN THAT SERVES HOMELESS YOUTH. IN ADDITION, PCH HAS IDENTIFIED THREE MAJOR AREAS OF FOCUS FOR COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND EDUCATION: INJURY PREVENTION, HEALTHY CHILDREN AND FAMILIES, AND CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION. PCH SPONSORS AND ADMINISTERS MULTIPLE PROGRAMS IN THESE THREE CATEGORIES. COMMUNITY BENEFIT ENCOMPASSES A WIDE VARIETY OF RESOURCES AND PROGRAMS. HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE: CHARITY CARE BECAUSE NO CHILD IS DENIED NEEDED CARE DUE TO AN INABILITY TO PAY, FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE WAS ADMINISTERED TO UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED PATIENTS. GOVERNMENT-SPONSORED HEALTHCARE PCH ALSO DELIVERS HEALTHCARE TO INDIGENT PATIENTS. GOVERNMENT-SPONSORED HEALTHCARE COVERAGE REIMBURSES ONLY A PORTION OF THE COSTS OF THIS CARE. THE UNREIMBURSED PORTION IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT DELIVERED BY PCH. COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAMS PCH HAS DEVELOPED SIGNATURE COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAMS THAT SERVE SPECIFIC POPULATIONS WITH SERIOUS HEALTHCARE NEEDS AND LIMITED ACCESS TO CARE. ONE EXAMPLE IS THE CREWS'N HEALTHMOBILE MOBILE MEDICAL VAN THAT SERVES HOMELESS YOUTH. SUBSIDIZED PROGRAMS PCH SUBSIDIZES CERTAIN MEDICAL PROGRAMS WHERE WE ARE UNIQUELY QUALIFIED TO PROVIDE THE CARE OR WHERE PATIENTS HAVE LIMITED ACCESS TO CARE. EXAMPLES INCLUDE THE BILL HOLT HIV/AIDS CLINIC AND THE HEALTHY STEPS PROGRAM. EDUCATION CONTINUING EDUCATION FOR TODAY'S PHYSICIANS AND NURSES, AS WELL AS EDUCATING THE NEXT GENERATION OF HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS IS A PRIME FOCUS FOR PCH. CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS INCLUDE RESIDENCY AND FELLOWSHIP TRAINING, A SERIES OF CLINICAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS, AND THE HOSPITAL'S PREMIER PROGRAM -- GAPP, WHICH PROVIDES SPECIALIZED TRAINING TO NURSES WHO ARE NEW TO PEDIATRICS. RESEARCH PCH'S CLINICIANS CONDUCTED RESEARCH STUDIES TO ADVANCE MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE. THE INSTITUTIONAL REVIEW BOARD PROVIDES INSTITUTIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT RESEARCH EFFORTS AT PCH, AS WELL AS IN COLLABORATION WITH OTHER INSTITUTIONS SUCH AS MAYO CLINIC, UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA SCHOOL OF MEDICINE, AND TRANSLATIONAL GENOMICS RESEARCH INSTITUTE. COMMUNITY BENEFIT OPERATIONS PCH UNDERWRITES THE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS OF MANAGING COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS AND CONTRIBUTES TIME, MEETING SPACE, AND OTHER RESOURCES THAT ENHANCE THE ABILITY OF OUR COMMUNITY'S MOST EFFECTIVE COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAMS TO MEET HUMAN NEEDS. CHARITY CARE POLICY PCH'S CHARITY CARE POLICY WAS ESTABLISHED IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY AND ASSIST PATIENTS WHO LACK THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO MEET ALL OR PART OF THEIR FINANCIAL LIABILITY FOR SERVICES RENDERED AND TO DETERMINE THEIR ELIGIBILITY FOR PCH-BASED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. MEDICAL INTERPRETER/TRANSLATION SERVICES CLEAR COMMUNICATION BETWEEN PATIENTS AND PROVIDERS IS AN URGENT HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUE. PHOENIX CHILDREN'S MEDICAL INTERPRETER/TRANSLATOR PROGRAM IS THE NATIONAL MODEL TO IMPROVE COMMUNICATION AND SAFETY WITH THE HISPANIC POPULATION AT 20 CHILDREN'S HOSPITALS. MEDICAL INTERPRETER TRAINERS FROM NATIONAL AND LOCAL HOSPITALS GATHERED AT PHOENIX CHILDREN'S FOR TRAINING DESIGNED TO IMPROVE COMMUNICATION AND SAFETY FOR PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES. ATTENDEES WERE TRAINED IN TEACHING BILINGUAL HEALTHCARE WORKERS MEDICAL TERMS, INTERPRETING PROTOCOL AND MULTICULTURAL UNDERSTANDING. CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MORE THAN FIVE U.S. CHILDREN DIE AS A RESULT OF CHILD ABUSE EVERY DAY. ACCORDING TO THE ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SERVICES, 70 ARIZONA CHILDREN DIED BECAUSE OF MALTREATMENT IN 2010 - OVER HALF OF THEM WERE UNDER ONE YEAR OLD. PHOENIX CHILDREN'S IS COMMITTED TO REDUCING THE RISK OF ABUSE FOR CHILDREN IN OUR COMMUNITY. TO KEEP CHILDREN SAFE, WE HAVE TO FIX THE PROBLEM INSTEAD OF ONLY TREATING THE SYMPTOM. AS A LEADER IN THE COMMUNITY, PHOENIX CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL BRINGS THE LATEST RESEARCH AND CUTTING EDGE PREVENTION PROGRAMS TO PHOENIX AND REACHES OUT TO THE ENTIRE STATE OF ARIZONA. PROJECT SAFE WITNESSING AN ADULT TALKING TO OR TREATING A CHILD HARSHLY CAN CREATE AN AWKWARD AND FRUSTRATING SITUATION FOR OTHER ADULTS. ONLOOKERS MAY WANT TO INTERVENE, BUT AREN'T ALWAYS SURE HOW TO DO SO SAFELY AND EFFECTIVELY. PROJECT SAFE (SUPPORTING A FAMILY FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT) IS A CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION TRAINING PROGRAM THAT TEACHES INDIVIDUALS - FROM HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS TO RETAIL WORKERS - HOW TO EFFECTIVELY MODEL APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR AND INTERVENE IN POTENTIALLY ABUSIVE SITUATIONS. MORE THAN 800 INDIVIDUALS HAVE COMPLETED SAFE TRAINING, WHILE ANOTHER 120,000 EDUCATIONAL PAMPHLETS HAVE BEEN DISTRIBUTED TO VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY. DARKNESS TO LIGHT'S STEWARD'S OF CHILDREN ONE IN FOUR GIRLS AND ONE IN SIX BOYS WILL BE SEXUALLY ABUSED BEFORE THEIR 18TH BIRTHDAY. FEWER THAN ONE IN 10 WILL EVER TELL. STEWARDS OF ARIZONA'S CHILDREN IS AN INNOVATIVE CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE PREVENTION TRAINING PROGRAM THAT TEACHES ADULTS HOW TO PREVENT, RECOGNIZE, AND REACT RESPONSIBLY TO CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE. DESIGNED FOR ORGANIZATIONS AND CORPORATIONS THAT SERVE CHILDREN AND YOUTH AND FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE DIRECT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROTECTION OF THEIR OWN OR OTHERS CHILDREN, THIS THREE-HOUR TRAINING PROGRAM PROVIDES TOOLS TO CREATE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES THAT HELP KEEP CHILDREN SAFE AND FOR TRAINING STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS ON CHILD PROTECTION. SINCE ITS INCEPTION, NEARLY 1000 INDIVIDUALS HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE PROGRAM. THE PROGRAM ALSO TRAINED 43 FACILITATORS, ALLOWING THEM TO IMPLEMENT TRAINING IN THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITIES.
ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES (ACE) CONSORTIUM		THE ACE STUDY CONSORTIUM BRINGS TOGETHER A DIVERSE GROUP OF COMMUNITY LEADERS ALL WORKING TO IMPROVE PREVENTION, IDENTIFICATION AND TREATMENT TO ENSURE BETTER OUTCOMES FOR PEOPLE WHOSE LIVES START OUT IN THE MOST CHALLENGING WAYS. SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH CLEARLY SHOWS THE LINK BETWEEN ADVERSE EXPERIENCES IN CHILDHOOD (ABUSE, NEGLECT, HOUSEHOLD VIOLENCE AND DYSFUNCTION) AND RISKY BEHAVIORS AND HEALTH PROBLEMS IN ADULTHOOD. THIS CONNECTION MAKES IT IMPERATIVE THAT PEDIATRIC CARE PROVIDERS RECOGNIZE THIS IMPORTANT LINK AND BEGIN DEVELOPING STRATEGIES TO PROTECT CHILDREN FROM THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCE. THE ACE CONSORTIUM'S " STRONG COMMUNITIES RAISE STRONG KIDS" INITIATIVE SEEKS TO INSPIRE COMMUNITIES AROUND ARIZONA TO COME TOGETHER IN SUPPORTING YOUNG CHILDREN AND FAMILIES. REPORT ON PHYSICAL PUNISHMENT: WHAT RESEARCH TELLS US ABOUT ITS EFFECTS ON CHILDREN PHOENIX CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL HAS BEEN SELECTED AS THE "INSTITUTIONAL HOME" FOR A NEW REPORT SYNTHESIZING ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH ON THE EFFECTS PHYSICAL PUNISHMENT HAS ON CHILDREN. THE REPORT IS NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED AS PROVIDING CONCISE AND ACCURATE SUMMARY OF OVER 100 STUDIES THAT SUPPORT THE CONCLUSION THAT PHYSICAL PUNISHMENT OF CHILDREN IS AN INEFFECTIVE PARENTING PRACTICE. PHOENIX CHILDREN'S IS WORKING TO PUBLICIZE THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION AS WELL AS PROVIDE EDUCATION ON MORE EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVES TO ITS USE. THE REPORT HAS BEEN ENDORSED BY THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS, THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF CHILD AND ADOLESCENT PSYCHIATRY AND MANY OTHERS. IT IS BEING WIDELY USED FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES BY PARENTS, PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONS SERVING CHILDREN AND FAMILIES, AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC. APRIL IS CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH APRIL IS A TIME TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT AND ENCOURAGE INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES TO SUPPORT CHILDREN AND FAMILIES. NO ONE CAN DO EVERYTHING. NO ONE PARENT, GRANDPARENT, TEACHER, NEIGHBOR OR ELECTED OFFICIAL, AGENCY OR INDIVIDUAL. BUT EVERYONE CAN DO SOMETHING. PHOENIX CHILDREN'S HAD BECOME A LEADER IN THE ONGOING FIGHT AGAINST CHILD ABUSE PLACING FOCUS ON PREVENTION. THROUGHOUT THE MONTH OF APRIL, THE HOSPITAL HOSTS A SERIES OF EVENTS INCLUDING THE ANNUAL CHILDREN'S MARCH ON CHILD ABUSE. PREVENTING CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT PARENT-PROVIDER PARTNERSHIP IN CHILD CARE (PCAN) RESEARCH HAS SHOWN EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAMS CAN SERVE AS AN EFFECTIVE "EARLY WARNING SYSTEM" TO DETECT RISKY SITUATIONS THAT COULD LEAD TO INFANT OR CHILD ABUSE. AND WITH APPROXIMATELY 50 PERCENT OF INFANTS, 69 PERCENT OF 3 YEAR OLDS, AND 84% OF 5 YEAR OLDS IN SOME FORM OF CHILD CARE WHILE THEIR PARENT(S) WORK, IT'S ESSENTIAL CHILD CARE PROVIDERS KNOW HOW TO READ THOSE EARLY WARNING SIGNS. PCAN TRAINS CHILD CARE PROFESSIONALS TO USE THEIR EVERY DAY RELATIONSHIPS WITH PARENTS - AS WELL AS CURRENT RESEARCH AND INFORMATION - TO SUPPORT AND STRENGTHEN FAMILIES IN THE EFFORT TO PREVENT CHILD ABUSE. INJURY PREVENTION EACH YEAR, MORE THAN 6,500 U.S. CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 14 ARE KILLED BY PREVENTABLE INJURIES. VERIFIED TRAUMA CENTERS ARE NATIONAL LEADERS IN PREVENTING INJURIES IN CHILDREN. AT PHOENIX CHILDREN'S, OUR INJURY PREVENTION PROGRAMS ADDRESS THE MOST COMMON CAUSES OF CHILDHOOD INJURY WITH PROGRAMS THAT REACH PARENTS AND CHILDREN WITH IMPORTANT SAFETY MESSAGES AND SKILLS. DROWNING AWARENESS AND PREVENTION WITH THE HELP OF A VERY SPECIAL FAMILY, PHOENIX CHILDREN'S DEVELOPED WATER WATCHERS, A SIGNATURE INJURY PREVENTION PROGRAM TO COUNTER THE EPIDEMIC OF CHILD DROWNINGS IN OUR DESERT CITY. FOR THE COMMUNITY AND THE WATER WATCHERS PROGRAM, 2008 WAS A YEAR OF MANY HIGHS AND LOWS -- THE FAMILY OF WESTON LETTER RECOGNIZED THE TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF HIS DEATH. AT THE AGE OF THREE AND A HALF, HE DROWNED IN HIS FAMILY'S BACKYARD SWIMMING POOL. THE WATER WATCHERS PROGRAM WAS DEVELOPED IN HIS HONOR. THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE PROGRAM BRING HIS FAMILY COMFORT - TEACHING THE COMMUNITY THAT TRAGEDY KNOWS NO BOUNDARIES IS IMPORTANT, AND PROVIDING FAMILIES WITH REAL-LIFE SOLUTIONS TO KEEPING CHILDREN SAFE AROUND WATER HELPS THEM TO KNOW THAT THEY'VE MADE A DIFFERENCE. AND THE WATER WATCHERS PROGRAM DID MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE COMMUNITY. PHOENIX CHILDREN'S IS A LEADER IN CHILDREN'S WATER SAFETY EDUCATION, BRINGING SOME OF THE MOST INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS IN THE COUNTRY TO OUR COMMUNITY. OUR ANNUAL WATER SAFETY DAY IS HELD RIGHT AT THE OFFICIAL KICKOFF OF SWIMMING SEASON. AT THIS ANNUAL EVENT, WE BRING MORE THAN 1,000 FIRST GRADE STUDENTS TO A LOCAL COMMUNITY COLLEGE TO LEARN ABOUT WATER SAFETY. USING OUR AWARD-WINNING CURRICULUM, "WATER SAFETY IS FOR YOU," AND THE HANDS-ON LEARNING ACTIVITIES AT THE EVENT, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PRODUCE CONSISTENT IMPROVEMENT IN CHILDREN'S COMPREHENSION OF KEY WATER SAFETY CONCEPTS. ACROSS THE VALLEY, MANY SCHOOLS DOWNLOADED AND UTILIZED FREE WATER WATCHER'S CURRICULUM TO EDUCATE CHILDREN ABOUT THE DANGERS OF DROWNINGS. CURRICULUM MATERIALS WERE PROVIDED TO MORE THAN 100 SCHOOLS. THIS STATEWIDE EFFORT FOCUSES ON PURPLE RIBBONS TO REMEMBER THOSE TOUCHED BY CHILD DROWNINGS AND ENCOURAGES SAFETY AROUND THE WATER. DROWNING IMPACT AWARENESS MONTH IS ARIZONA'S LARGEST COLLABORATIVE EFFORT TO PREVENT DROWNINGS. SINCE THE FIRST YEAR OF THIS VITAL CAMPAIGN, MORE THAN 600,000 PURPLE RIBBONS HAVE BEEN DISTRIBUTED. THE EFFORT INCLUDES RIBBONS WORN BY SUPPORTERS, PROCLAMATIONS FROM THE GOVERNOR AND MAYORS ACROSS THE STATE, EVENTS, AND A STATEWIDE FOCUS ON WATER SAFETY. WORKING WITH THE MEDIA REGULARLY, THE WATER WATCHERS PROGRAM HELPS FAMILIES TO UNDERSTAND HOW DROWNINGS OCCUR AND TO RECOGNIZE NEW TRENDS IN INCIDENTS AND PREVENTION STRATEGIES. THROUGHOUT THE VALLEY, WATER WATCHERS REPRESENTATIVES ATTENDED COMMUNITY EVENTS, PROVIDED SUPPLIES, AND GAVE EDUCATIONAL PRESENTATIONS TO MORE THAN 4,000 FAMILIES. ON A LOCAL AND NATIONAL LEVEL, WATER WATCHERS REPRESENTATIVES SUPPORT DROWNING PREVENTION ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THE NATIONAL DROWNING PREVENTION ALLIANCE, ACTING AS AN ADVOCATE FOR FAMILIES TOUCHED BY DROWNING AND HELPING TO ADVANCE EDUCATION ABOUT PREVENTION ACROSS AMERICA. HELMET YOUR BRAIN ACCORDING TO THE 2005 ARIZONA YOUTH RISK BEHAVIOR SURVEY, 87 PERCENT OF STUDENTS WHO RODE A BICYCLE DURING THE PREVIOUS 12 MONTHS REPORTED THAT THEY NEVER OR RARELY WORE A BICYCLE HELMET. WHILE WEARING A HELMET WON'T PREVENT A CRASH, IT CAN PREVENT LIFE-LONG DISABILITY - OR EVEN DEATH - THAT CAN RESULT FROM A BRAIN INJURY. WEARING A HELMET REDUCES A CHILD'S RISK OF SERIOUS BRAIN INJURY BY 88 PERCENT. NEARLY HALF OF ALL BIKE-RELATED HOSPITALIZATIONS HAVE A DIAGNOSIS OF TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY. THE GOAL OF PHOENIX CHILDREN'S HELMET YOUR BRAIN PROGRAM IS TO TEACH CHILDREN TO GET INTO THE HELMET HABIT. THIS SAFETY AWARENESS PROGRAM REACHED MORE THAN 2,000 KIDS AND FAMILIES IN 2006. A HELMET YOUR BRAIN PROGRAM BOX AND CURRICULUM IS AVAILABLE TO TEACHERS AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. BICYCLE "DRIVER" EDUCATION MORE THAN 80 PERCENT OF BICYCLE-RELATED FATALITIES INVOLVING CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 14 ARE DUE TO THE BICYCLIST'S BEHAVIOR. BICYCLE "DRIVER" EDUCATION IS SIMILAR TO DRIVER'S EDUCATION, BUT THE VEHICLE IS A BIKE, SKATEBOARD OR SCOOTER. TEACHING CHILDREN HOW TO THINK, BEHAVE AND RESPOND LIKE A "DRIVER" ADDS A NEW DIMENSION OF RESPONSIBILITY TO RIDING A BICYCLE. THIS CURRICULUM PROVIDED BY PHOENIX CHILDREN'S TEACHES MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS ACROSS THE VALLEY HOW TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS, HOW TO CROSS INTERSECTIONS, OBEY TRAFFIC SIGNALS, RIDE SAFELY AT NIGHT, AND MAKE SAFE DECISIONS IN TRAFFIC. KIDS RIDE SAFE IN ARIZONA, MOTOR VEHICLE COLLISIONS ARE THE MOST COMMON CAUSE OF PREVENTABLE DEATHS OF CHILDREN. USING THE APPROPRIATE CAR SEAT DRASTICALLY REDUCES A CHILD'S RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH. THE RIDE SAFE PROGRAM REACHES OUT TO PARENTS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE AND CORRECT USE OF CAR SEATS, BOOSTER SEATS AND RESTRAINTS. PHOENIX CHILDREN'S PARTNERS WITH "SAFE KIDS," AS WELL AS LOCAL FIRE AND POLICE DEPARTMENTS TO HOST COMMUNITY CAR SEAT CHECKS. OUR TRAINED TECHNICIANS CHECK CAR SEAT INSTALLATIONS, TRAIN PARENTS AND, IN SOME CASES, DISTRIBUTE DONATED CAR SEATS.

PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS	FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4	PHOENIX CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL (PCH) IS ARIZONA'S ONLY LICENSED NONPROFIT CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL PROVIDING CARE IN MORE THAN 70 PEDIATRIC SUBSPECIALTIES TO THE STATE'S PEDIATRIC PATIENTS. SIX CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE AT PCH OFFER INTERDISCIPLINARY CARE, INCLUDING THE CENTER FOR CANCER AND BLOOD DISORDERS, THE CHILDREN'S HEART CENTER, THE CHILDREN'S NEUROSCIENCES INSTITUTE, THE CENTER FOR PEDIATRIC ORTHOPAEDICS, TRAUMA AND THE NEWBORN INTENSIVE CARE UNIT (NICU). PCH IS ONE OF THE 10 LARGEST FREESTANDING CHILDREN'S HOSPITALS IN THE UNITED STATES ON NUMBER OF BEDS AND IS THE SINGLE LARGEST PROVIDER OF PEDIATRIC SERVICES TO LOW-INCOME CHILDREN IN ARIZONA; 53 PERCENT OF PATIENTS ARE MEDICAID BENEFICIARIES. IN ADDITION TO THE HOSPITAL'S MAIN CAMPUS NEAR DOWNTOWN PHOENIX, ARIZONA, THE HOSPITAL OPERATED A SECOND, 110-LICENSED-BED NICU IN PHOENIX ON THE CAMPUS OF BANNER GOOD SAMARITAN REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER. THE NICU OPERATES IN CLOSE COLLABORATION WITH A HIGH RISK OBSTETRICS PROGRAM, CARING FOR BABIES OF HIGH RISK PREGNANCIES, INCLUDING THOSE BORN PREMATURELY, THOSE BORN WITH CONGENITAL ANOMALIES, AND MULTIPLE BIRTHS. THE HOSPITAL ALSO OPERATES TWO FREESTANDING PEDIATRIC CLINICS IN MESA AND GLENDALE, ARIZONA THAT OFFER SPECIALTY CARE AND ADVANCE URGENT CARE. THROUGH ITS BROAD RANGE OF SUPERIOR PEDIATRIC SERVICES INCLUDING NEUROLOGY, ENDOCRINOLOGY, CHEMOTHERAPY, CARDIOLOGY AND OTHER MEDICAL SERVICES, PCH HAS PROVIDED A DISTINGUISHED INDEPENDENT HEALTH FACILITY FOR THE CHILDREN OF ARIZONA. PCH DELIVERS ON ITS MISSION TO PROVIDE HOPE, HEALING, AND THE BEST CARE FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES BY PROVIDING ACCESS TO THE MOST ADVANCED SPECIALTY AND SUBSPECIALTY PEDIATRIC CARE IN ARIZONA. PCH EXTENDS THIS MISSION BEYOND OUR PATIENT POPULATION BY DELIVERING DIRECT FUNDING, PROGRAM SUPPORT, HEALTHCARE EXPERTISE, AND OTHER RESOURCES TO THE MOST VULNERABLE MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY AND TO THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE. THE FOLLOWING DESCRIBES PCH'S SIX CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE AND OTHER MEDICAL SERVICES. CENTER FOR CANCER AND BLOOD DISORDERS THE CENTER FOR CANCER AND BLOOD DISORDERS AT PHOENIX CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL IS THE LARGEST PEDIATRIC PROGRAM OF ITS KIND IN ARIZONA, PROVIDING COMPLETE CARE FOR CHILDREN DIAGNOSED WITH MALIGNANCIES AND/OR LIFE-THREATENING HEMATOLOGIC DISEASES. USING A FAMILY-CENTERED APPROACH, THE CENTER PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE, PERSONALIZED CARE TO EVERY HEMATOLOGY AND ONCOLOGY PATIENT. EVERY CHILD HAS HIS OR HER OWN TEAM OF PHYSICIANS, NURSES, SOCIAL WORKERS, PHYSICAL THERAPISTS, NUTRITIONISTS AND MORE THAT PROVIDE CARE THROUGHOUT THE TREATMENT AND HEALING PROCESS. THE TEAM WORKS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CARE REGIMEN FITS IN WITH THE CHILD'S - AND THE FAMILY'S - NEEDS. THE CENTER'S TEAM OF MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS INCLUDES MANY SPECIALISTS, EACH WITH A SPECIFIC AREA OF EXPERTISE WITHIN THE HEMATOLOGY AND ONCOLOGY FIELDS. ENCOURAGING EACH PROVIDER TO SPECIALIZE IN CERTAIN DISEASES HAS ALLOWED THE CENTER'S TEAM TO COLLECTIVELY KEEP UP WITH THE LATEST ADVANCEMENTS IN THE TREATMENT OF CANCER AND HEMATOLOGIC DISORDERS. AS A RESULT, THE CENTER IS ABLE TO PROVIDE TOP-NOTCH, CUTTING EDGE CARE TO ALL OF ITS PATIENTS. CHILDREN'S HEART CENTER PHOENIX CHILDREN'S HEART CENTER IS THE PREMIER REGIONAL REFERRAL CENTER IN THE SOUTHWEST AND IS THE FIFTH LARGEST PROGRAM OF ITS KIND IN THE U.S. IT OFFERS THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT PEDIATRIC CARDIAC CARE SERVICES TO INFANTS, CHILDREN AND TEENS WITH CONGENITAL HEART DEFECTS, RHYTHM DISTURBANCES, HEART FAILURE AND OTHER CARDIAC-RELATED PROBLEMS.
