        <ExplanationTxt>THE HOSPITAL IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT HOSPITAL THAT HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED AS TAX- EXEMPT PURSUANT TO SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. THE SEGREGATED PORTFOLIO CONDUCTS ITS AFFAIRS IN A MANNER IN WHICH IT WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX OR GEORGIA INCOME TAX. THE HOSPITAL APPLIES ACCOUNTING POLICIES THAT PRESCRIBE WHEN TO RECOGNIZE AND HOW TO MEASURE THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT EFFECTS OF INCOME TAX POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN ON ITS INCOME TAX RETURNS. THESE RULES REQUIRE MANAGEMENT TO EVALUATE THE LIKELIHOOD THAT, UPON EXAMINATION BY THE RELEVANT TAXING JURISDICTIONS, THOSE INCOME TAX POSITIONS WOULD BE SUSTAINED. BASED ON THAT EVALUATION, THE HOSPITAL ONLY RECOGNIZES THE MAXIMUM BENEFIT OF EACH INCOME TAX POSITION THAT IS MORE THAN 50% LIKELY OF BEING SUSTAINED. TO THE EXTENT THAT ALL OR A PORTION OF THE BENEFITS OF AN INCOME TAX POSITION ARE NOT RECOGNIZED, A LIABILITY WOULD BE RECOGNIZED FOR THE UNRECOGNIZED BENEFITS, ALONG WITH ANY INTEREST AND PENALTIES THAT WOULD RESULT FROM DISALLOWANCE OF THE POSITION. SHOULD ANY SUCH PENALTIES AND INTEREST BE INCURRED, THEY WOULD BE RECOGNIZED AS OPERATING EXPENSES. BASED ON THE RESULTS OF MANAGEMENT'S EVALUATION, NO LIABILITY IS RECOGNIZED IN THE ACCOMPANYING CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET FOR UNRECOGNIZED INCOME TAX POSITIONS. FURTHER, NO INTEREST OR PENALTIES HAVE BEEN ACCRUED OR CHARGED TO EXPENSE AS OF JUNE 30, 2025 AND 2024 OR FOR THE YEARS THEN ENDED. THE HOSPITAL'S TAX RETURNS ARE SUBJECT TO POSSIBLE EXAMINATION BY THE TAXING AUTHORITIES. FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES, THE TAX RETURNS ESSENTIALLY REMAIN OPEN FOR POSSIBLE EXAMINATION FOR A PERIOD OF THREE YEARS AFTER THE RESPECTIVE FILING DEADLINES OF THOSE RETURNS.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>COMMUNITY INPUT WAS OBTAINED FROM HOSPITAL STAKEHOLDERS AND THE GENERAL COMMUNITY THROUGH COMMUNITY SURVEYS AND FOCUS GROUP DISCUSSIONS WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS REPRESENTING DIVERSE POPULATION GROUPS, INCLUDING THE ELDERLY, MINORITIES AND LOW-INCOME POPULATIONS. DATA FROM SECONDARY SOURCES USED IN ASSESSING THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY WERE OBTAINED FROM A DIVERSE LIST OF COMMUNITY HEALTH-RELATED DATABASES. KEY COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS WERE ALSO INVOLVED IN REVIEWING AND INTERPRETING FINDINGS FROM THE CHNA AND DEVELOPING AN IMPLEMENTATION PLAN TO ADDRESS PRIORITIZED COMMUNITY NEEDS. THE COMMUNITY SURVEY AND FOCUS GROUP INTERVIEWS ASSESSED LOCAL HEALTH CARE ACCESS AND THE NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE RESIDING IN THE SERVICE AREA OF BACON COUNTY HOSPITAL AND HEALTH SYSTEM. THE COMMUNITY SURVEY WAS DISSEMINATED TO RESIDENTS OF THE HOSPITALS PRIMARY SERVICE AREA VIA THE HOSPITALS SOCIAL MEDIA WEBPAGES AND EMAIL LISTSERVS, AS WELL AS THOSE OF LOCAL COMMUNITY PARTNERS. RECRUITMENT EFFORTS WERE DESIGNED TO OBTAIN DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES FROM DIVERSE COMMUNITY MEMBERS. FOCUS GROUP PARTICIPANTS WERE ALL KEY COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS OF BACON COUNTY AND INCLUDED A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT. COLLECTIVELY, PERSPECTIVES OBTAINED FROM THE SURVEYS AND FOCUS GROUPS PROVIDED A HOLISTIC VIEW OF LIFE IN THE COMMUNITY AND THE HEALTH AND HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF THE RESIDENTS. INFORMATION FROM THESE PRIMARY DATA COLLECTION EFFORTS WAS SUPPLEMENTED BY SECONDARY QUANTITATIVE DATA ON THE COMMUNITYS DEMOGRAPHIC AND ECONOMIC PROFILE, HEALTH CARE ACCESS, AND UTILIZATION. THESE DATA WERE OBTAINED FROM MULTIPLE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE SOURCES INCLUDING THE US CENSUS BUREAU, CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL (CDC), GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH, OFFICE OF HEALTH INDICATORS FROM PLANNING'S OASIS, COUNTY HEALTH RANKINGS, AND THE NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE. THE MOSTCURRENT DATA WERE OBTAINED FROM EACH SOURCE AT THE TIME OF THE ANALYSIS. FINDINGS FROM ALL THE ABOVE-DESCRIBED PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DATA COLLECTION EFFORTS INFORMED THE IDENTIFICATION AND PRIORITIZATION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS, AS WELL AS THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN IMPLEMENTATION PLAN TO ADDRESS THESE NEEDS.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>THROUGH THE 2025 CHNA PROCESS, THE STEERING COMMITTEE DECIDED TO FOCUS ITS INTERVENTIONS ON THE FOLLOWING ISSUES: - IMPROVING PHYSICAL HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY - IMPROVING ACCESS TO SPECIALTY MEDICAL SERVICES - IMPROVING ACCESS TO MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH RESOURCES LACK OF PRIMARY AND SPECIALTY CARE SERVICES IN THE COMMUNITY IS A BARRIER TO IMPROVING THE PHYSICAL HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY. OPENING A NEW INTERAL MEDICAL PRACTICE AND INCREASING THE NUMBER OF WELLNESS CLINIC VISITS ARE OBJECTIVES OF THE HOSPITAL IN THIS AREA. BCHS CURRENTLY OFFERS COMMUNITY HEALTH FAIRS EACH YEAR THAT INCLUDES MANY SCREENING ACTIVITIES. THESE WILL BE OFFERED AGAIN AND WILL INCLUDE UNDERSERVED AREAS IN THE COMMUNITY. MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE RESOURCES WILL BE DISSEMINATED TO THE COMMUNITY. GAPS IN ACCESS WILL BE EVALUATED. SPECIALTY SERVICES WILL BE ASSESSED THOUGH THE USE ON A CONSULTING FIRM, SALARY NEEDS FOR ATTRACTING ADDITIONAL RESOURCES WILL BE EXAMINED AND THE HOSPITAL WILL MONITOR THE USE OF TELEMEDICINE FOR CRITICAL CARE WITH AUGUSTA UNIVERSITY. AS DESCRIBED, THE HOSPITAL WILL NEED TO COLLABORATE WITH OTHER PROVIDERS IN ADDRESSING THESE NEEDS. EMERGING ISSUES NOTED BUT NOT ADDRESSED INCLUDE ECONOMIC CONCERNS (JOB OPPORTUNITIES, PROVERTY) AND FOOD INSECURITY. THESE ISSUES ARE BEYOND THE SCOPE OF THE HOSPITAL'S RESOURCES AND ARE BETTER ADDRESSED BY OTHER NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>THE ORGANIZATION AND ALL ITS VOLUNTEER BOARD ARE COMPOSED OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS WITH DIVERSE PROFESSIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE BACKGROUNDS. OUR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT HAS 24/7 PHYSICIAN COVERAGE AND IS OPEN TO ALL PERSONS, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. THE MEDICAL STAFF IS OPEN TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS IN THE REGION. ANY SURPLUS OF FUNDS IS REINVESTED INTO THE OPERATIONS AND CAPITAL BUDGET OF THE ORGANIZATION. THE ORGANIZATION SEEKS OUT DELIVERY OF CARE MODELS THAT BEST MEET THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. THE HOSPITAL'S RURAL HEALTH CLINIC (RHC) SERVES MANY LOW-INCOME AND MEDICAID ELIGIBLE PATIENTS BY APPOINTMENT AND ON A WALK-IN BASIS. THE RHC'S PATIENTS TYPICALLY NEED BASIC HEALTH ATTENTION AND THE RHC STAFF PROMOTES WELLNESS TO ALL OF ITS PATIENTS ON AN AS-NEEDED BASIS DURING THEIR VISIT. THIS WELLNESS MAY BE IN THE FORM OF EDUCATION MATERIALS AND/OR SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVING THE GENERAL HEALTH OF THE PATIENT. THE ORGANIZATION HAS A MULTI-PRONGED APPROACH TO IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVICES: INCREASING ACCESS, BUILDING CAPACITY, INVESTING IN "UPSTREAM" PROGRAMS THAT GET AT THE CAUSE OF DISEASE AND ILLNESS, BUILDING COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS, ADVOCATING CHANGE, AND DEVELOPING LEADERSHIP. THE ORGANIZATION HOSTS HEALTH FAIRS TO PROMOTE WELLNESS AND ENCOURAGE PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE BY OFFERING FREE GLUCOSE AND CHOLESTEROL TESTS, BLOOD PRESSURE CHECKS, BONE DENSITY TESTS, MEDICAL BROCHURES WITH MEDICAL INFORMATION SUCH AS STROKE, HEART ATTACK, DIABETES, BLOOD PRESSURE, BREAST CANCER AND MORE. PHYSICIANS, DENTISTS, OPTOMETRISTS, MID-LEVEL PRACTITIONERS, REGISTERED NURSES AND OTHER LICENSED PROFESSIONALS ATTEND THESE FUNCTIONS. THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF INCORPORATING MULTIPLE FACETS OF CARE IN THE FAIRS IS TO GIVE THE COMMUNITY A WIDE SPECTRUM OF KNOWLEDGE TO CONSULT WITH, FREE OF CHARGE, TO HOPEFULLY ENCOURAGE WELLNESS AND PREVENT FUTURE ILLNESS. DURING BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH, WE FOCUS ON WOMENS HEALTH BY OFFERING AN ART EXHIBIT FOLLOWED BY A RECEPTION WITH A KEYNOTE SPEAKER. THE HOSPITAL ALSO OFFERS MAMMOGRAMS TO UNINSURED PATIENTS AT DISCOUNTED RATES. THIS GIVES ADDITIONAL WOMEN THE ACCESS TO MAMMOGRAMS, WHO MIGHT NOT GET SCREENED OTHERWISE. WE ASSIST WITH THE ANNUAL MULE ROUND-UP EVENT FOCUSING ON PROVIDING MEDICAL INFORMATION ON BREAST CANCER TO THE COMMUNITY. THESE BREAST CANCER AWARENESS PROGRAMS ARE AN ONGOING COLLABORATIVE FACILITATED BY THE ORGANIZATION TO BUILD AWARENESS OF BREAST CANCER IN THE COMMUNITY. THESE EVENTS ALSO BRING IN RESIDENTS FROM ALL OF THE SURROUNDING COUNTIES. THE ORGANIZATION, IN AN EFFORT TO INCREASE HEALTH AWARENESS IN OUR SERVICE AREA, ALSO PARTICIPATES IN THE ANNUAL BLUEBERRY FESTIVAL BY SETTING UP A BOOTH WITH MEDICAL INFORMATION ON DIABETES, HTN, VARIOUS TYPES OF CANCER, HEART DISEASE AND OTHER INFORMATION. PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS AS WELL AS MEMBERS OF THE HOSPITAL CLINICAL STAFF ARE ON HAND AT THIS EVENT, SIMILAR TO THE HEALTH FAIRS, TO ANSWER QUESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC FREE OF CHARGE. THE ORGANIZATION HOSTS AN ANNUAL 5K RUN RUN/WALK DURING THIS EVENT WHERE THERE IS AN AVERAGE OF 200 PARTICIPANTS WITH THE TOTALS RISING EACH YEAR. THE PURPOSE IS TO TRY AND MOTIVATE THE PUBLIC TO BECOME INVOLVED AND LEAD AN ACTIVE AND HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. DURING THE DAY OF THE CHILD, A COMMUNITY EVENT GEARED TOWARDS THE YOUNGER POPULATION, THE ORGANIZATION HOLDS THEIR ANNUAL TEDDY BEAR CLINIC. THE TEDDY BEAR CLINIC IS A PROGRAM THAT BEGAN IN 1995, DESIGNED TO HELP PUT CHILDREN AT EASE WHEN THEY VISIT THEIR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER. THE WHOLE IDEA IS FOR THEM TO BE COMFORTABLE WITH THE HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENT AND MAKE THE EXPERIENCE FUN FOR THEM. BECAUSE JUVENILE DIABETES IS A PREVALENT ILLNESS IN THIS REGION, THE ORGANIZATION INCORPORATES AWARENESS IN THIS EVENT THROUGH PROVIDING EDUCATIONAL BROCHURES AND PAMPHLETS TO THE GUARDIANS SO THAT THEY BECOME AWARE OF SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENTS. BECAUSE THE ORGANIZATION SERVES A POPULATION THAT HAS A HIGH PROPORTION OF LOW-INCOME INDIVIDUALS, WE PARTICIPATE IN THE COMMUNITY FALL FESTIVAL HOSTED BY THE ALMA BACON COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. WE USE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REACH OUT TO AN AUDIENCE THAT IS TYPICALLY UNEDUCATED IN THE AREA OF HEALTHCARE. OUR FOCUS IS TYPICALLY PROVIDING GUIDANCE AND EDUCATION ON THE IMPLICATIONS OF NOT HAVING REGULAR CHECK-UPS WITH PRIMARY PHYSICIANS, SYMPTOMS OF ILLNESSES THAT ARE PREVALENT IN THIS REGION AND VARIOUS OTHER TOPICS THAT COULD AFFECT THE WELL-BEING OF THE INDIVIDUAL. AN ANNUAL SANTA'S WORKSHOP IS HOSTED FOR CHILDREN AS A FUN DAY DURING THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS. IN ESSENCE, THE ORGANIZATION USES THE CHILDREN'S WORKSHOP TO REACH OUT TO GUARDIANS THAT WOULD NOT BE REACHABLE UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES.</ExplanationTxt>
