“Statement of program service accomplishments the guthrie clinic is the sole member of robert packer hospital. 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. Guthrie is comprised of a research institute, home care/hospice, hospitals in sayre, pa, corning, ny, towanda, pa, troy, pa, and cortland, ny, as well as a multi-specialty group practice of more than 325 physicians and 210 advanced practice providers offering 47 specialties through a regional office network providing primary and specialty care in 33 communities in pennsylvania and 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 region it serves, 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 $2.32 million in 2019 and $1.21 million in 2018 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 $3.84 million and $2.16 million in bad debts for 2019 and 2018, 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 $20.5 million and $16.2 million in 2019 and 2018, 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”
