“This organization is an affiliate within geisinger health and affiliates; a tax-exempt integrated healthcare delivery system ("system"). As reflected on core form, part i, lines 3 and 4 and also in part vi, lines 1a and 1b, there are a total of five voting members on the board of trustees. At year end, of these five voting members, none are independent due to the fact that they are either employed by this organization or by an affiliate. Although this federal form 990 shows no independent board of trustees under the new internal revenue service definitions; this organization acts in a charitable tax-exempt manner for purposes of internal revenue code section 501(c)(3) and is controlled by atlanticare health system, inc.; which is controlled by geisinger health; which is governed by a board of directors, a majority of which are comprised of independent voting members.”

“The organization is an affiliate within geisinger health and affiliates; a tax-exempt integrated healthcare delivery system ("system") which includes atlanticare health system, inc. ("ah system"). This federal form 990 was provided to the organization's governing body; its full board of trustees, for review prior to filing with the internal revenue service ("irs"). The organization has delegated the form 990 preparation, review and filing process to ah system's governing body; its board of trustees. As part of the tax return preparation process the system hired a professional certified public accounting ("cpa") firm with experience and expertise in both healthcare and not-for-profit tax return preparation to prepare the federal form 990. The cpa firm's tax professionals worked closely with the system's finance personnel and internal working group to obtain the information needed in order to prepare a complete and accurate tax return. The cpa firm prepared a draft federal form 990 and furnished it to ah system's finance personnel and internal working group for their review. Ah system's finance personnel and internal working group reviewed the draft federal form 990 and discussed questions and comments with the cpa firm. Revisions were made to the draft federal form 990 where necessary and a final draft was furnished by the cpa firm to ah system's finance personnel and internal working group for final review and approval prior to providing the federal form 990 to each member of the organization's governing body and filing with the irs. A form 990 presentation was also given by the cpa firm to ah system's board of trustees prior to filing.”

“The organization is an affiliate within geisinger health and affiliates; a tax-exempt integrated healthcare delivery system ("system") which includes atlanticare health system, inc. ("ah system"). The organization and the system regularly monitor and enforce compliance with its conflict of interest policy. Annually all members of the board of trustees, officers and senior management personnel are required to review the existing conflict of interest policy and complete a questionnaire. The completed questionnaires are returned to the organization and ah system's general counsel for review. Thereafter the general counsel prepares a summary of the completed questionnaires which contains information disclosed on an individual by individual basis. Ah system's general counsel then presents this summary to ah system's governance committee for their review and discussion.”

“The organization is an affiliate within geisinger health and affiliates; a tax-exempt integrated healthcare delivery system ("system") which includes atlanticare health system, inc. ("ah system"). The executive compensation committee ("committee") of the board of trustees ("board") of ah system reviews and approves the compensation provided to the executive staff of the system. The compensation decisions of the committee are set within the framework of a formal compensation philosophy that is approved by the board. The compensation philosophy approves the use of a national peer group of not-for-profit healthcare organizations that are similar to ah system in size and organizational characteristics. The key elements of the compensation philosophy are: total compensation positioned around the 75th percentile, composed of the following elements of pay: - base salaries positioned between the median and the 75th percentile. - incentive opportunities comparable to those of the peer group and designed to position total cash compensation at the 75th percentile for expected performance (includes both annual and long-term incentives). - executive benefits positioned at the 75th percentile. - conservative perquisites and severance. The committee approves the pay of all executives. It sets the compensation for the president and chief executive officer ("president"). The president recommends salary adjustments and incentive award payments to the committee. The committee can approve, modify or reject the president's recommendations as appropriate. Each year, prior to making changes to the compensation of any executive, the committee engages an independent, outside consultant to review each element of executive compensation, including salaries, incentives, benefits, perquisites, and total compensation. The intent of the review is to provide the committee with information it needs to ensure that compensation provided to ah system's executives is reasonable, appropriate, and consistent with the board-approved compensation philosophy. The consultant compiles appropriate comparability data on total compensation from a peer group or organizations comparable to ah system. The committee's process for reviewing executive compensation establishes a "rebuttable presumption of reasonableness," as described in irc section 4958: - compensation for all executives is approved in advance by a committee made up entirely of independent directors with no conflict of interest with regard to the compensation decisions. - the committee obtains and relies on appropriate comparability data on total compensation in making these decisions. ("appropriate" means data on pay for like jobs in like organizations and like circumstances). - the committee documents its process and the terms of its decisions in timely minutes.”

“Furthermore, AtlantiCare embraces its strategic commitment to diversity and inclusion. We have positioned diversity as a strategic business priority that aligns with our overall vision, mission and values. At the heart of our diversity and inclusion efforts, are our dedicated and engaged Employee Resource Groups ("ERGs"). These groups of physicians and staff help us with cultural and community awareness activities, education, and community outreach, thus impacting employee engagement, customer experiences, and community connectivity. The groups are formed around common interests but are open to all employees. The groups continue to experience membership growth from 33 members in 2010, to 223 active members in 2017. Current groups include: African-American ("LEGACY"), Asian-Pacific ("APEG"), Disabilities ("CAARE"), Interfaith ("PATHS"), Latino ("ALMA"), LGBTQ ("PRIDE"), Military ("HONORS"), and Women ("LEADS"). Examples of some ERG activities include: - Annual "Strength In Diversity" event which is open to students, employees and community members; and - Nutrition education program to over 400 students in the community to commemorate National Nutrition Month. Through fundraising activities, our ERGs are able to provide financial and in-kind support to community programs and organizations. In 2016, our ERGs donated $9,400 in financial support to various community organizations. Additionally, they supported various community organizations through participation in walks, health and career fairs, as well as other in-kind donations. Lastly, AtlantiCare operates three signature community programs whose sole focus is to improve the health and well-being of our community. These innovative programs are Healthy Schools, Healthy Children; Growing Green, and Healing Arts. Healthy Schools, Healthy Children partners with over 100 schools in a variety of different modalities to teach children, parents, and staff about the importance of healthy eating and physical activity. Signature components of this program are the school nurse lecture series and professional development workshops that provide education and resources to school personnel. The AtlantiCare Growing Green program addresses the root causes of chronic disease by increasing consumption of healthy foods through the creation of access points for fresh, local produce. This program has funded the construction of 42 school gardens and 19 community gardens in Southeastern New Jersey. In 2017, AtlantiCare Growing Green expanded its program and established the Pantry at the Plex, a healthful food pantry which services our patients in greatest need, who are deemed food insecure at our William L. Gormley HealthPlex in Atlantic City. In just one year alone, the pantry has provided 32,905 pounds of shelf stable food to our community, as well as 34,016 pounds of produce. The Pantry has been visited 1038 times by 458 unique patients which allows for 714 adults and 217 to be fed. In addition, we hosted 14 "Pop Up" Produce Markets in 2017, which provided free fruits and vegetables to an estimated 2,590 individuals and families. These two aforementioned programs have collectively impacted well over 10,000 lives. Healing Arts is a unique initiative designed to showcase original artwork. By integrating the arts within and near our facilities, we visibly demonstrate our intent to create a healing presence in our community. These programs allow us to serve distinct audiences: children and their caretakers, those with limited access to healthy foods, and those seeking respite and healing, respectively. Non grant funded staffing costs to support screening outreach and the aforementioned signature programs from July 2016 to June 2017 totaled approximately $243,080.61 AtlantiCare is proud to have received the following awards and recognitions ---------------------------------------------------------------- - U.S. News & World Report recognizes AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center as one of the best hospital”

ARMC also has a satellite emergency department in Hammonton, NJ. ARMC offers a number of outpatient services spread out over 90 locations. One of these locations, the AtlantiCare HealthPlex, which is located in Atlantic City, offers services regardless of the ability to pay. ARMC is a teaching hospital, training residents in a number of specialties. ARMC is home to many centers of excellence and specialized services, several of which are exclusive to the region. - Level II Regional Trauma Center. - Neonatal Intensive Care Unit ("NICU"). - Accredited Chest Pain Center. - Accredited Stroke Center. - Heart Institute - the region's only full service cardiac surgery program. - The Joint Institute. - Stanley M.

Mission, Vision and Values ========================== Mission Statement ================= To care for the sick, injured and poor in an environment where patients, their families and physicians are extended a superior level of personal service; where quality improves in measurable terms; in an environment which respects the dignity of the patient, family and all on the healthcare team. Vision ====== ARMC will be the premier healthcare provider in New Jersey. We will achieve and sustain excellence in quality of care and personal service through total conformance to customer's expectations while providing an outstanding work environment. Charitable purpose ================== ARMC provides urgent and emergent healthcare services to all individuals and also provides elective procedures to individuals who reside in our primary service area in a non-discriminatory manner regardless of medical condition, race, color, creed, sex, national origins, handicap, age, lifestyle, financial status or ability to pay. Moreover, ARMC provides healthcare services to patients who meet certain criteria defined by the New Jersey department of health and human services without charge or at amounts less than established rates. The cost of providing these services and supplies to patients who meet the state-mandated charity care eligibility requirements approximated $22 million and $13 million for the calendar year 2017 and the year January 1, 2016 through June 30, 2016, respectively. The significant reduction in the cost of providing charity care is the result of ARMC's efforts in assisting patients to enroll in the State Medicaid Program. The estimated unreimbursed cost of providing care to Medicaid patients was $50 million and $19 million for calendar year 2017 and the year January 1, 2016 through June 30, 2016, respectively. Because ARMC does not pursue collections of amounts determined to qualify as charity care, they are not reported as revenue. ARMC also provides free care to patients who do not meet the state eligibility requirements or are not compliant in pursuing eligibility status. Such amounts are included in the consolidated statements of operations and changes in net assets as part of the provision for uncollectibles, net of any recoveries realized through collection efforts. ARMC has also instituted a self-pay discount policy that limits charges for medical services to an amount not to exceed the lesser of the ca”
