DescriptionAs discussed herein, Douglas Hospital, Inc (an affiliate of Wellstar Health System, Inc.) operates as a charitable organization consistent with the requirements of Internal Revenue Code section 501 (c) (3) and the "community benefit standard" of IRS Revenue Ruling 69-545. In this regard, the governing body of the organization and/or its parent is composed of prominent citizens in the community, medical staff privileges in the hospital are available to all qualified physicians in the area consistent with the size and nature of the facility; the hospital operates a full-time emergency room open to all regardless of ability to pay; the hospital provides care to the needy members of the community consistent with its charity care policy regardless of their ability to pay for these services. The hospital's excess funds are generally applied to expansion and replacement of existing facilities and equipment, amortization of indebtedness, improvement of patient care, community benefit activities, and charity care. Douglas Hospital committed approximately $1.9 million in capital expenditures for the year to meet the technology and program needs of the community we serve. Douglas Hospital, Inc. was organized in 1992. The hospital affiliated with the Northwest Georgia Health System in 1993. In 1994 Northwest Georgia Health System helped form the PROMINA Health System and changed its name to Promina Northwest Health System. In 1998 Promina Northwest changed its name to Wellstar Health System and is now totally independent of PROMINA. Douglas Hospital is subordinate to, and subject to the authority of Wellstar Health System and its governing boards including the Hospital Authority of Douglas County. Wellstar Douglas provides a full range of inpatient and outpatient services characteristic of a community hospital.

Sponorships--A group of employees participated in the annual "Relay for Life event to locally raise funds and awareness for cancer research and prevention (held in conjunction with the American Cancer Society). Wellstar's Laundry services Department partnered with a local homeless shelter, MUST Ministries, to donate retired and faded scrubs to new arrivals at the shelter. MUST has integrated housing programs in Cobb, Cherokee, and Douglas counties (the heart of Wellstar"s service area) Recognition and Accomplishments Douglas Hospital continues to be accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO). All of the Wellstar system hospitals (including Douglas) have been awarded "Accreditation with Distinction" by the Commission on Laboratory Accreditation of the College of American Pathologists (CAP). CAP awards are considered one of the most stringent in laboratory quality assurance in the industry. The Wellstar Cancer Program is accredited by the American College of Surgeons. The program has grown system-wide more than 43% in the last five or six years. This expansion has resulted in an increase in the services provided for cancer patients at both Douglas and Paulding Hospitals.

IdentifierSCHEDULE D PART X, LINE 2 FIN 48 FOOTNOTEIdentifier
ExplanationThe following footnote is related to the organization's application of FIN 48 (ASC 740). "Wellstar (including Douglas Hospital) and all but one of its affiliates have been recognized as exempt from Federal income tax under Internal Revenue Code Section 501 (a) as organizations described in Section 501 (c)(3) and, therefore, related income is generally not subject to Federal or state income taxes. CAC is a controlled foreign corporation not subject to Federal tax. Wellstar applies FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, which addresses accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions. It also provides guidance on when tax positions are recognized in an entity's financial statements and how the values of these positions are determined. There is no impact on Wellstar's combined financial statements as a result of the application of ASC 740."Explanation

Annual Community Benefit ExplnDouglas Hospital, Inc. is an affiliate of Wellstar Health System, Inc. which on an annual basis issues a community benefit report. This report is subsequently distributed in and around the five county service areas of the health system.AnnualCommunityBenefitExpln
Subsidized Health Services ExplnWellstar Health System (including Douglas Hospital) has elected to use the cost to charge ratio from our FY2009 Hospital Financial Survey filed with the state of Georgia. This cost to charge ratio reconciles with the community benefit reporting done both internally in the system and with our annual published community benefit report which is distributed to the Wellstar service areas as well as reported to the Georgia Hospital Association.SubsidizedHealthServicesExpln
Percent Of Total Expense ExplnThe percent of net community benefit expense to the total expense for the hospital ($328,236,934 from Form 990 Part IX line 25) is the calculation of Sch H Part 1 Line 7 column (f). For purposes of calculating this ratio we subtract the amount of bad debt expense ($28,282,102) from the total expense in order to determine the percentage for the amount in column (f)PercentOfTotalExpenseExpln
Bad Debt FootnoteThe footnote to the Wellstar Health System and Affiliates' financial statments describes net patient service revenue as: " Net patient service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amounts from patients, third-party payors, and others for services rendered". While this footnote does not specifically describe bad debts, it can be implied that those accounts written off to bad debt have been deemed unrealizable for collection by the organization. In estimating the bad debt amounts to be counted as community benefit for this reporting period we considered that some patient accounts were classified as bad debt and subsequently determined to have qualified for charity or indigent care adjustments. This determination can occur due to inadequate information being available at the time the services were provided as well as throughout the collection cycle as the patient's financial status may periodically change. Wellstar has participated in the Section 1011 program for undocumented aliens and determined that while a portion of the patients that are eligible to be paid from the program exist, there is another portion who are not eligible because they did not provide the necessary documentation to qualify. Those patients and others in similar circumstances which subsequently became bad debt accounts would have qualified under the organization's charity care policy had they furnished the necessary information to be considered. While this portion of the patient population may be small we have made a determination that 1.2% of the bad debt expense (at cost) is attributable to charity care and community benefit. Generally speaking, however, Wellstar (and Douglas Hospital) does not treat bad debt as uncompensated care.BadDebtFootnote
Shortfall As Community BenefitDouglas Hospital is a provider of inpatient and outpatient services to Medicare program beneficiaries at determined rates. Without the participation in the Medicare program these patients may not have had convenient access to those services or possibly access at all. The Medicare shortfall on line 7 represents the uncompensated difference between the expected reimbursement and the Medicare charges for those services stated at cost. The costing methodology to determine the amount listed on line 6 ($31,519,244) for allowable costs is basically a cost to charge ratio determined from the annual Medicare cost report.ShortfallAsCommunityBenefit
Debt Collection PolicyThe policy written for collection practices that applies to all Wellstar Health System entities incorporates guidelines for personnel in the admissions and patient access areas to be trained in identifying patients that might qualify for charity care or other financial assistance. It is also the policy of all Wellstar facilities to have at least one employee or contractor available at all times especially in the hospitals with emergency rooms who can provide assistance in the paperwork necessary to qualify for charity care or governmental assistance programs.DebtCollectionPolicy
Number Of Facility Type ExplnDouglas Hospital is a general acute care hospital providing a full range of services, is licensed to operate 108 beds, and is presently staffed to operate 102 beds. It is located on an approximately 50-acre campus in Douglasville, Georgia and is housed within a complex of connected buildings which contain a total square footage of over 98,000 square feet. The original hospital was constructed in 1974 and has had several additions and improvements which represent the current structure. --NumberOfFacilityTypeExpln
Needs AssessmentWellstar Health System (and affiliates) is a key stakeholder in MAPP, Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships. MAPP, developed by the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) in collaboration with the CDC, provides a structured guidance on creating and implementing a community-wide strategic planning process focused on improving the health and safety of our population. Through MAPP, a broad collection of community partners and residents come together to identify and priortize health and safety issues and to identify resources for addressing them. The process results in an actionable Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) for measurable improvements in the community's health and quality of life as well as a scorecard for implementation and evaluation. The resulting community plan does not focus on one agency or community health challenge; rather, MAPP provides a long-term strategy that addresses the multiple factors that affect health in the community. Community involvement throughout the creation and the implementation of a health improvement plan results in creative solutions to community health problems with an improved focus on priorities, reduced duplication of services, increased collaboration on projects and activites, and increased capacity to garner additional resources. Moreover, continous community involvement leads to community ownership of the process. Community ownership, in turn, increases the credibility and sustainability of the health improvement efforts.NeedsAssessment
Patient Education AssistanceDouglas Hospital provides its patients with hospital personnel who are trained in all of the uncompensation program requirements, payment plans, charity discounts, and other programs offered to assist them in paying their bills. This includes at least one financial counselor in the emergency room on duty at all times. These financial counselors are well versed in the eligibility for Medicare and Medicaid if applicable for the patient (including in some instances SSI Disability through the Medicare program). If a patient is pregnant and presents for service without insurance or other government assistance, the counselors can assist the patient in obtaining Medicaid (based on the income level) regardless of the patient's citizenship. If the patient is indigent or charity eligible they will be offered assistance through the hospital's Charity and Indigent Care Policy including the state's Indigent Care Trust Fund (set aside for that exact purpose). If the patient has no other insurance and fails to qualify for indigent care the financial counselor can then offer the patient an opportunity to accept a payment plan with discounted payment options based on their ability to pay immediately or over time. All patients are afforded these opportunities.PatientEducationAssistance
Community InformationDouglas Hospital is one of five hospitals that are affiliated with the parent corporation, Wellstar Health System. The primary service area of the system is located in the Northwest Georgia area and receives the majority and is expected to receive the majority of its patients from one of the following counties in Georgia--Bartow, Cherokee, Cobb, Douglas and Paulding--generally about 85% to 90%. While these five counties are in the metropolitan Atlanta area (or border on the metro area) they are in some of the fastest growing areas in the entire country. The system has therefore expanded to bring many services to the geographic area that previously were not available except in the Atlanta community. Economically the region is strong in per capita income but as in many areas of the country the system has seen an increase in the unemployment numbers and thus an increase in the uninsured and indigent population for the patients it serves.CommunityInformation
Affiliated Health Care SystemAs stated in the Wellstar Health System and Affiliates Audited Financial Statements for the period ending June 30,2010, Douglas Hosptial (an affiliate of Wellstar Health System, Inc.) operates as a charitable organization consistent with the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 501 ( c ) (3) and the "community benefit standard" of IRS Ruling 69-545. In this regard the governing body of the organization and/or its parent is composed of prominent citizens in the community, medical staff privileges in the hospital are available to all qualified physicians in the area consistent with the size and nature of the facility; the hospital operates a full-time emergency room open to all regardless of ability to pay; and the hospital provides care to the needy members of the community consistent with its charity care policy regardless of their ability to pay for these services. The hospital's excess funds are generally applied to expansion and replacement of existing facilities and equipment, amortization of indebtedness, improvement of patient care, community benefit activities, and charity care. Douglas Hospital committed approximately $1.9 million in capital expenditures for the year to meet technology and program needs of the community it serves.AffiliatedHealthCareSystem

Filing of 990 TPart V Line 3 a & bDouglas Hospital, Inc. has elected to file a blank 990-T for the reporting period as there is no known unrelated business income. However in the event a subsequent disclosure of any unrelated business income is made we will amend the currently filed return.
Conflict of Interest PolicyForm 990 Part VI Section B Line 12Our Conflict of Interest Policy requires all covered persons to annually review the policy and then complete, sign and return the Conflicts of Interest Survey and Attestation to the Compliance Office. The following is our process to regularly and consistently monitor and enforce the policy: Compliance identifies all covered persons who must complete the Survey and Attestation annually. Compliance verifies that the Survey and Attestation is distributed to these persons. Compliance verifies that these persons return a fully completed and signed Survey and Attestation. Compliance reviews each completed and signed Survey and Attestation to identify all conflicts listed in the document. All conflicts, potential conflicts and incidences of non-compliance are referred to the Chief Compliance Officer. The CCO takes appropriate action to completely resolve all identified conflicts and incidences of non-compliance.
Process for Determining Compensation for Top ExecsForm 990 Part VI Section B Line 15Wellstar engages the Hay Group to work with the governing board to review and recommend executive compensation. The executive compensation process at Wellstar is overseen by a committee of independent trustees, which follows a board-approved executive compensation philosophy. The current members of the Wellstar committee are: Kessel Stelling Chair Pete Wood Janie Maddox Al Separk Board Chairman Ex Officio CEO Ex Officio In committtee discussions about the compensation for the Chief Executive Officer, the CEO will recuse himself from that process but is a non-voting committee member for discussions on all other officers. The executive compensation philosophy empowers the committee to oversee the executive compensation process and administer the executive compensation program on behalf of the full board of trustee of Wellstar; provided, however, the full Board of Trustees evaluates and approves the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer. The philosophy requires annual disclosure of the committee's actions and decisions to the full board, which it has done. The committee is guided by the board-approved philosophy. Overall, the philosophy is intended to reward for organizational and individual performance. When performance is at a predetermined targeted level, the compensation is intended to be at or around the median of compensation paid to similar positions at similar organizations (the "market"). Wellstar's executive compensation philosophy defines the market as being comprised of comparable not-for-profit health care delivery systems, i.e., not-for-profit organizations similar in complexity and scale to Wellstar. To assist the committee in fulfilling its duties, the committee engaged the Hay Group to provide market compensation data to compare to the Wellstar positions whose compensation the committee oversees. The committee uses this data to provide context when making decisions in administering the compensation program. Accurate minutes of the committee's discussion and decisions are recorded during each committee meeting, and reviewed and approved at the following committee meeting.
