“The christ hospital ("tch") is an ohio nonprofit corporation formed in june of 1891. Tch is tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code ("the code") and functions as a hospital organization as described in section 509(a)(1) and 170(b)(1)(a)(iii) of the code. Tch's mission for the over 130 years of its operations has been to improve the health of our community and to be a regional exemplar in creating patient value through exceptional outcomes and patient experience provided at an affordable and responsible cost that ensures access to all members of our community without regard to financial status or other factors such as race, ethnicity, beliefs or gender. Through its main hospital campus in mt. Auburn, tch is dedicated to its urban-hospital roots, remaining steadfast in commitment to diverse and economically challenged neighborhoods in the uptown section of cincinnati, ohio. While maintaining this urban commitment through its base operations, tch has also developed a network of outpatient centers, a remote hospital location and physician practices that ensure access to care throughout the greater cincinnati region, including suburban and rural regions of the area that serve 19 counties located in three states. Tch has organized and maintains an accredited staff of more than 1,600 physicians, and offers advanced services and technologies through executive leadership of seven key service lines: cardiovascular care, orthopaedic and spine treatment, women's health, oncology, special surgery, comprehensive medicine and primary care. Tch maintains its sacred trust with the community and governmental oversight partners in earning and maintaining the privilege and responsibilities of tax-exemption. These core commitments include activities that are not undertaken for economic gain, but in fact are performed at a loss or are wholly unreimbursed and are performed as a matter of public trust and commitment. These core commitments include: 1. Charity care & care provided under governmental assistance programs - access to care regardless of ability to pay and full participation in medicare and medicaid programs wherein entitlement payments are insufficient to cover the costs of services provided. 2. Medical education - assurance of sufficient numbers and competency of trained and licensed medical professionals to meet the needs of our community. This includes residency and fellowship training for physicians that are operated at a financial loss, and formal undergraduate degree training through its college of nursing that requires subsidization through philanthropy and private support. 3. Research & innovation - through the carl & edyth lindner center for research and education at the christ hospital, tch invests substantial internal and philanthropic resources in supporting the advancement of medical discovery and improvement for the public good through an array of clinical trials and other application research. The above activities are the enduring and sacred commitment and responsibility of tch. Year in and year out these commitments will serve to demonstrate how tch has earned and maintains its tax-exempt privilege. Tch has consistently been recognized by u.s. News & world report as one of the nation's top hospitals, including the number one hospital in the greater cincinnati region, the top 10% in the region for orthopedic care, and as "high performing" in 14 areas of care. Further, tch ranked as one of newsweek's "the world's best hospitals," ranking first in the cincinnati region and fifth in the state of ohio. While maintaining its commitments to the community, tch is in a period of rapid growth, including the expansion of an ambulatory outpatient strategy consisting of an employed primary care and specialty physician network, numerous outpatient centers offering a variety of services, and other community initiatives. With a staff of more than 1,600 physicians, tch offers advanced services and technologies in ca”
