“Statement of Program Service Accomplishments The Guthrie Clinic is a nonprofit health care organization incorporated for the purpose of conducting exclusively charitable,scientific and educational activities. The Guthrie Clinic (TGC) acts as the parent of an integrated Section 501(c)(3) health care delivery system, consisting of the corporation and other directly and indirectly controlled entities (See Form 990, Schedule R, for a listing of the affiliates of TGC) including but not limited to Guthrie Medical Group, P.C.(GMG) and Robert Packer Hospital (RPH). Through the activities of GMG, RPH and its other affiliates (collectively referred to as "Guthrie"), The Guthrie Clinic provides charitable community-based health care services and programs to improve the health and well-being of the people and communities served by its facilities and providers. These charitable activities include providing primary care and specialty physician services, as well as operating a tertiary care teaching hospital, community hospitals, a research institute, home care, and hospice care. The Guthrie Research Institute and Guthrie Clinical Research functions of the Donald Guthrie Foundation, a subsidiary of TGC, furthers these charitable activities through providing patient access to the region's largest panel of clinical trials. The facilities and provider offices of Guthrie are located in 23 communities throughout the northern tier of Pennsylvania and southern tier of New York, with the greatest concentration of services provided principally in Bradford County, Pennsylvania and Chemung and Steuben Counties, New York. The vision of Guthrie is to help shape the delivery of health care in the region through working collaboratively with physicians and other providers, and by distributing its services throughout the region based on community needs. Guthrie seeks to be the provider of choice for patients in the Twin Tier region, and to be recognized for its superior quality and service. It also strives to advance the practice of medicine through its commitment to teaching and research. In keeping with this vision, the core values of The Guthrie Clinic are as follows: patient-centeredness, excellence, and teamwork. Guthrie providers and facilities provide care to patients who meet certain criteria under its charity care policy without charge or at amounts less than its established rates. Because it does not pursue collection of amounts determined to qualify as charity care, they are not reported as revenue on the financial statements of Guthrie entities. Costs for services and supplies furnished under Guthrie's charity care policy amounted to approximately $2.6 million in 2014 and $3.2 million in 2013 when measured at the appropriate entity's estimated cost. As part of its charitable mission, Guthrie provides care through its hospital emergency departments. It ensures that an emergency-based treatment or hospital admission is not delayed or denied pending determination of coverage or a requirement for prepayment or deposit. As a result of this policy, Guthrie experienced approximately $3.74 million and $3.71 million in bad debts for 2014 and 2013, respectively. In addition to the charity care program and the emergency department bad debts discussed above, Guthrie supports numerous other charitable community activities. Examples of these activities include medical education for physicians and nurses, the trauma program, and medical research. The estimated cost, net of reimbursement, for these programs was $16.1 million and $16.4 million in 2014 and 2013, respectively. Guthrie also provides services to patients who participate in the Medicaid programs. Revenues generated from patients who participate in the Medicaid program are subject to substantial discounts that result in reimbursement for services rendered below the cost of providing such services. In order for patients to meet the guidelines for the Medicaid program, various income-based criteria must”

“RPH strives to enhance the quality of life in the communities it serves by providing superior health care services and by leading continuous improvement of community health. It achieves this mission by organizing services and directing resources toward meeting community health needs through collaboration with community agencies and by compassionate, effective, and affordable means. RPH works closely with the GMG to ensure that the skills and knowledge of the medical staff produce the maximum community health benefit. As a member of Guthrie, RPH integrates its programs and activities with those of the long-term care and education and research divisions, so that continuity and synergy result. As part of TGC, the vision of RPH is to play a leadership role in the development and provision of tertiary-level acute care services. Evidence that RPH is successfully fulfilling this role can be seen in its continued accomplishments. Highlights of those achievements include continued accreditation by the Pennsylvania Trauma Systems Foundation Board as a Level II Trauma Center and receipt of full Chest Pain Center accreditation with PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) from the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care. Guthrie Weight Loss Center has been accredited as a Level 1 facility under the Bariatric Surgery Center Network (BSCN) Accreditation Program of the American College of Surgeons (ACS). As part of a fully-integrated health delivery system that organizes its services on a regional basis and is accountable for improving the health of the population it serves, RPH accepts responsibility for meeting the health care needs of the community and is able to document the cost effectiveness and quality of services provided. Corning Hospital Breast Care Center was awarded a full three-year accreditation in Stereotactic Breast Biopsy by the American College of Radiology (ACR) and received the American Heart Association/American Stoke Associations Get with the Guidelines Stroke Gold Plus Achievement Award. The GMG is a multi-specialty physician group practice that includes nearly 350 specialist and primary care physicians and mid-level providers, headquartered in a facility adjacent to RPH. Physicians within the GMG provide comprehensive medical care using advanced technologies and methodologies for both diagnosis and treatment. Further, the GMG provides a broad range of educational opportunities for physicians and other health care providers. It also works closely with the Research Institute, where research contributes to recruiting and retaining physician specialists to serve the region and sustaining proficient medical practices. The GMG is committed to the advancement of medical knowledge and skills, and every effort is made to provide personal, compassionate medical care. The GMG operates a regional office network in 23 communities in Pennsylvania and New York, encompassing all of the major population centers in the Twin Tiers area. The Guthrie Clinic has developed certain guiding principles for the provision of patient care, which include a commitment the following: * Practice of clinical excellence, * Utilization of the synergy of a multi-specialty medical group practice, * Development of an integrated system that provides a continuum of care, * Provision of local access to care through support of a regional medical office network, * Provision of services to a distinct geographic region, and * Proactive operations. The GMG, through the provision of primary care services with ease of access to specialty and sub-specialty care, focuses on making an integrated system of health care easily accessible to patients. With its primary concern the diagnosis and treatment of disease and illness, it also seeks to actively improve the health of the community it serves through prevention, health screenings, and education. The GMG welcomes any patient seeking care.”
