"HEALTHCARE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION STATEMENT NO. 15 (""STATEMENT 15"") PROVIDES GUIDELINES FOR DISTINGUISHING CHARITY CARE FROM BAD DEBT EXPENSE. STATEMENT 15 REQUIRES THAT CHARITY CARE IS NOT RECOGNIZED AS RECEIVABLE OR REVENUE IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. STATEMENT 15 FURTHER EXPLAINS THAT SELF-PAY PATIENTS THAT DO HAVE A REASONABLE LIKELIHOOD OF PAYMENT SHOULD BE REPORTED AS CHARITY CARE AND NOT BAD DEBT EXPENSE. THE HOSPITAL GENERALLY FOLLOWS THE GUIDELINES OUTLINED IN STATEMENT 15. IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL FOLLOWS THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY GUIDELINES IN DETERMINING CHARITY CARE ELIGIBILITY. IN CERTAIN INSTANCES, IT IS UNLIKELY THAT UNINSURED PATIENTS WILL PAY FOR THE SERVICES RENDERED, BUT THEY DO NOT QUALIFY FOR THE STATE'S CHARITY CARE PROGRAM BECAUSE OF LACK OF PATIENT COOPERATION OR OTHER REASONS. THE HOSPITAL PURSUES COLLECTION OF THESE AMOUNTS AND UNPAID BALANCES ARE REPORTED AS BAD DEBT EXPENSE. UNDER STATEMENT 15, THESE AMOUNTS WOULD BE RECORDED AS CHARITY CARE RATHER THAN BAD DEBT EXPENSE AND THIS IS THE RATIONALE FOR OUR RESPONSE: ""NO""."

SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B; QUESTION 8
"MEDICARE COSTS WERE DERIVED FROM THE 2021 MEDICARE COST REPORT. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THE ORGANIZATION FEELS THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. AS OUTLINED MORE FULLY BELOW THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT THESE SERVICES AND RELATED COSTS PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE AND ARE RENDERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITABLE TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES AND MISSION IN PROVIDING MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUAL'S IN A NON-DISCRIMINATORY MANNER WITHOUT REGARD TO RACE, COLOR, CREED, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN, RELIGION OR ABILITY TO PAY AND CONSISTENT WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD PROMULGATED BY THE IRS. THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IS THE CURRENT STANDARD FOR A HOSPITAL FOR RECOGNITION AS A TAX-EXEMPT AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE (""IRC"") 501(C)(3). THE ORGANIZATION IS RECOGNIZED AS A TAX-EXEMPT ENTITY AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER 501(C)(3) OF THE IRC. ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO DEFINITION IN THE TAX CODE FOR THE TERM ""CHARITABLE"" A REGULATION PROMULGATED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY PROVIDES SOME GUIDANCE AND STATES THAT ""[T]HE TERM CHARITABLE IS USED IN 501(C)(3) IN ITS GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE,PROVIDES EXAMPLES OF CHARITABLE PURPOSES, INCLUDING THE RELIEF OF THE POOR OR UNPRIVILEGED; THE PROMOTION OF SOCIAL WELFARE; AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION, RELIGION, AND SCIENCE. NOTE IT DOES NOT EXPLICITLY ADDRESS THE ACTIVITIES OF HOSPITALS. IN THE ABSENCE OF EXPLICIT STATUTORY OR REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS APPLYING THE TERM ""CHARITABLE"" TO HOSPITALS, IT HAS BEEN LEFT TO THE IRS TO DETERMINE THE CRITERIA HOSPITALS MUST MEET TO QUALIFY AS IRC 501(C)(3) CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS. THE ORIGINAL STANDARD WAS KNOWN AS THE CHARITY CARE STANDARD. THIS STANDARD WAS REPLACED BY THE IRS WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD WHICH IS THE CURRENT STANDARD. CHARITY CARE STANDARD IN 1956, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 56-185, WHICH ADDRESSED THE REQUIREMENTS HOSPITALS NEEDED TO MEET IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR IRC 501(C)(3) STATUS. ONE OF THESE REQUIREMENTS IS KNOWN AS THE ""CHARITY CARE STANDARD."" UNDER THE STANDARD, A HOSPITAL HAD TO PROVIDE, TO THE EXTENT OF ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY, FREE OR REDUCED-COST CARE TO PATIENTS UNABLE TO PAY FOR IT. A HOSPITAL THAT EXPECTED FULL PAYMENT DID NOT, ACCORDING TO THE RULING, PROVIDE CHARITY CARE BASED ON THE FACT THAT SOME PATIENTS ULTIMATELY FAILED TO PAY. THE RULING EMPHASIZED THAT A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE DID NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT A HOSPITAL HAD FAILED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENT SINCE THAT LEVEL COULD REFLECT ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PROVIDE SUCH CARE. THE RULING ALSO NOTED THAT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED COMMUNITY HOSPITALS WOULD NORMALLY QUALIFY AS CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS BECAUSE THEY SERVE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY, AND A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE WOULD NOT AFFECT A HOSPITAL'S EXEMPT STATUS IF IT WAS DUE TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY'S LACK OF CHARITABLE DEMANDS. COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IN 1969, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH ""REMOVE[D]"" FROM REVENUE RULING 56-185 ""THE REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO CARING FOR PATIENTS WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT RATES BELOW COST."" UNDER THE STANDARD DEVELOPED IN REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE ""COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD,"" HOSPITALS ARE JUDGED ON WHETHER THEY PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF A BROAD CLASS OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE RULING INVOLVED A HOSPITAL THAT ONLY ADMITTED INDIVIDUALS WHO COULD PAY FOR THE SERVICES (BY THEMSELVES, PRIVATE INSURANCE, OR PUBLIC PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICARE), BUT OPERATED A FULL-TIME EMERGENCY ROOM THAT WAS OPEN TO EVERYONE. THE IRS RULED THAT THE HOSPITAL QUALIFIED AS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION BECAUSE IT PROMOTED THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN ITS COMMUNITY. THE IRS REASONED THAT BECAUSE THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH WAS A CHARITABLE PURPOSE ACCORDING TO THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY, IT FELL WITHIN THE ""GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE"" OF THE TERM ""CHARITABLE,"" AS REQUIRED BY TREAS. REG. 1.501(C)(3)-1(D)(2). THE IRS RULING STATED THAT THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH, LIKE THE RELIEF OF POVERTY AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION AND RELIGION, IS ONE OF THE PURPOSES IN THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY THAT IS DEEMED BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE EVEN THOUGH THE CLASS OF BENEFICIARIES ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A DIRECT BENEFIT FROM ITS ACTIVITIES DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, SUCH AS INDIGENT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, PROVIDED THAT THE CLASS IS NOT SO SMALL THAT ITS RELIEF IS NOT OF BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. THE IRS CONCLUDED THAT THE HOSPITAL WAS ""PROMOTING THE HEALTH OF A CLASS OF PERSONS THAT IS BROAD ENOUGH TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY"" BECAUSE ITS EMERGENCY ROOM WAS OPEN TO ALL AND IT PROVIDED CARE TO EVERYONE WHO COULD PAY, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT. OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HOSPITAL THAT THE IRS HIGHLIGHTED INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING: ITS SURPLUS FUNDS WERE USED TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE, EXPAND HOSPITAL FACILITIES, AND ADVANCE MEDICAL TRAINING, EDUCATION, AND RESEARCH; IT WAS CONTROLLED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES THAT CONSISTED OF INDEPENDENT CIVIC LEADERS; AND HOSPITAL MEDICAL STAFF PRIVILEGES WERE AVAILABLE TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION (""AHA"") FEELS THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THIS ORGANIZATION AGREES WITH THE AHA POSITION. AS OUTLINED IN THE AHA LETTER TO THE IRS DATED AUGUST 21, 2007 WITH RESPECT TO THE FIRST PUBLISHED DRAFT OF THE NEW FORM 990 AND SCHEDULE H, THE AHA FELT THAT THE IRS SHOULD INCORPORATE THE FULL VALUE OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT THAT HOSPITALS PROVIDE BY COUNTING MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: - PROVIDING CARE FOR THE ELDERLY AND SERVING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD. - MEDICARE, LIKE MEDICAID, DOES NOT PAY THE FULL COST OF CARE. RECENTLY, MEDICARE REIMBURSES HOSPITALS ONLY 92 CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR THEY SPEND TO TAKE CARE OF MEDICARE PATIENTS. THE MEDICARE PAYMENT ADVISORY COMMISSION (""MEDPAC"") IN ITS MARCH 2007 REPORT TO CONGRESS CAUTIONED THAT UNDERPAYMENT WILL GET EVEN WORSE, WITH MARGINS REACHING A 10-YEAR LOW AT NEGATIVE 5.4 PERCENT. - MANY MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE POOR. MORE THAN 46 PERCENT OF MEDICARE SPENDING IS FOR BENEFICIARIES WHOSE INCOME IS BELOW 200 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. MANY OF THOSE MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID -- SO CALLED ELIGIBLES."" THERE IS EVERY COMPELLING PUBLIC POLICY REASON TO TREAT MEDICARE AND MEDICAID UNDERPAYMENTS SIMILARLY FOR PURPOSES OF A HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND INCLUDE THESE COSTS ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT MUST BE SHOULDERED BY THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE COMMUNITY'S ELDERLY AND POOR. THESE UNDERPAYMENTS REPRESENT A REAL COST OF SERVING THE COMMUNITY AND SHOULD COUNT AS A QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT. BOTH THE AHA AND THIS ORGANIZATION ALSO FEEL THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. LIKE MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT (SHORTFALLS), THERE ALSO ARE COMPELLING REASONS THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT SHOULD BE COUNTED AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS FOLLOWS: - A SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO LOW-INCOME PATIENTS, WHO, FOR MANY REASONS, DECLINE TO COMPLETE THE FORMS REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH ELIGIBILITY FOR HOSPITALS' CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. A 2006 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE (""CBO"") REPORT, NONPROFIT HOSPITALS AND THE PROVISION OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS, CITED TWO STUDIES INDICATING THAT ""THE GREAT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT WAS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WITH INCOMES BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE."" - THE REPORT ALSO NOTED THAT A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. UNLIKE BAD DEBT IN OTHER INDUSTRIES, HOSPITAL BAD DEBT IS COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT HOSPITALS FOLLOW THEIR MISSION TO THE COMMUNITY AND TREAT EVERY PATIENT THAT COMES THROUGH THEIR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. PATIENTS WHO HAVE OUTSTANDING BILLS ARE NOT TURNED AWAY, UNLIKE OTHER INDUSTRIES. BAD DEBT IS FURTHER COMPLICATED BY THE AUDITING INDUSTRY'S STANDARDS ON REPORTING CHARITY CARE. MANY PATIENTS CANNOT OR DO NOT PROVIDE THE NECESSARY, EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED TO BE DEEMED CHARITY CARE BY AUDITORS. AS A RESULT, ROUGHLY 40% OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. - THE CBO CONCLUDED THAT ITS FINDINGS ""SUPPORT THE VALIDITY OF THE USE OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE [BAD DEBT AND CHARITY CARE] AS A MEASURE OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS"" ASSUMING THE FINDINGS ARE GENERALIZABLE NATIONWIDE; THE EXPE"

SCHEDULE H, PART VI; QUESTION 2
Pse&g csh facility reporting group a ==================================== In addition to the internal revenue code 501(r) community health needs assessment information outlined in form 990, schedule h, part v, section b, rwjbarnabas health conducts a review of key market factors for csh annually which includes: - a review of healthcare utilization of its service area population by services (e.g. cardiology, obstetrics, gynecology, urology, etc.) For determining increased or decreased health needs; - healthcare service estimates for inpatient and outpatient services; - assessment of local demographic and socioeconomic information; - community health status data; and - a review of health status/needs assessments and studies conducted by external parties (health research and education trust of new jersey, United for ALICE, kids count, county health rankings, new jersey state health assessment data, seer cancer incidence and mortality, to name a few sources of secondary data). RWJBarnabas Health conducts an extensive service area population physician need study (by primary care and physician specialty) every three to five years. The study uses generally accepted physician to population ratios adjusted for local community population to identify gaps in service. These studies inform medical staff development and recruitment needs at the hospitals to assure responsiveness to the specific identified needs of the community and to assure access to physician provider services. CSH reviews patient surveys and comments to understand patient and family concerns. Further, CSH participates and works with many local organizations on health issues including: discussing and prioritizing needs, coordinating services, providing education and specialty knowledge, and supporting local health promotions. As part of RWJBarnabas Health, CSH works with an array of service providers to support a full service continuum of care for its communities. CSH is active in their respective communities with local municipalities and community-based organizations. For example, CSH Camp Chatterbox, works with Camp Oakhurst in Monmouth County, New Jersey to sponsor a weeklong overnight camp for children and young adults, ages 5-22, who use synthesized Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices. Chatterbox offers two unique programs - a Family Program for children ages 5-14 and an Independence and Self-Advocacy Program for teens and young adults ages 15-22. All campers must be able to participate in the program without requiring one-on-one behavioral support. Camp Chatterbox uses the facilities of Camp Oakhurst in Monmouth County, NJ. CSH also partners with the Wilkes-Barre Family YMCA partner to provide a fully main-streamed, overnight camp experience at Camp Kresge in White Haven, PA near the Pocono Mountains. These community touch points provide the hospital with valuable external insights regarding community need. Covid 19 presented unique health and public safety challenges and required the hospital to address an array of new issues and others that were exacerbated by the pandemic. Csh and rwjbarnabas health worked to develop the information and facility capacity infrastructure to effectively communicate and care for the rising number of cases and the disruptions that presented for operations to meet the routine and emergent care needs of our communities. To be successful, the hospital had to command a new level of interaction and collaboration with community and government stakeholders. Some of the actions undertaken included: - routine calls were established with key internal administrative and interdisciplinary clinical care leadership to drive effective identification of issues and communication of policy and needed practice changes; - routine calls were held with the state department of health and with the regional networks that were formed to support data and information collection and provide an additional channel of communication; - provided clinical expertise (medical, pharmacy, infection control, etc.) To support elevation of best information to multiple internal and external parties; - increased communication through multiple platforms with trustees, staff, physicians, community partners and others; - detailed inventory accounting and regional distribution and storage capacities of testing supplies and other equipment (ventilators, pulse oximeters, etc.) Were established; - established new connections for ppe procurement and staff agencies to deal with shortages; - addressed new staff work flows and space limitations inclusive of increased remote access for staff support functions; - developed protocols and policies to support new processes and to promote reduction of infection risk and person touch points for all aspects of operations; - investing in and using new telecommunication devices (ipads, smart phones, etc.) For patients to interact with family and loved ones when physical visits were not possible; - realigned services to select sites of services to best configure care and operations including increased telehealth, intensive care and isolation capacity; - changed staff recruitment and deployment to effectively address high need areas; - continued implementation of new treatment, therapies and programs; - expanded laboratory and testing capacity; - development of extensive hospital and community-based network of covid testing sites; - development of community-based network of covid vaccination sites; and - continued review, study and understanding of needs and the glaring disparities that were evidenced by covid's impact. CSH and RWJBarnabas Health remain engaged with the continuing work to support the re-emergence of the social, business and academic environments as restrictions continue to be lifted. The costs of the pandemic were felt most acutely by the numbers of lives lost and the lives altered by the pandemic and its disruptions including the loss of housing and employment, lingering health effects and increased anxiety and isolation. The Community Health Needs Assessment process underway includes a resident survey conducted in 2021 of more than 5,000 participants. The survey was inclusive of questions to help understand the impacts and concerns to our communities as presented by COVID as well as general community needs. The Hospital and RWJBarnabas will work to prioritize and address changing needs and mitigate disparities that are evidenced. Rwjbh - facility reporting group b ================================== In addition to the internal revenue code 501(r) community health needs assessment information outlined in form 990, schedule h, part v, section b, rwjbarnabas health conducts a review of key market factors annually which includes: - a review of healthcare utilization of its service area population by services (e.g. cardiology, obstetrics, gynecology, urology, etc.) For determining increased or decreased health needs; - healthcare service estimates for inpatient and outpatient services; - assessment of local demographic and socioeconomic information; - community health status data; and - a review of health status/needs assessments and studies conducted by external parties (health research and education trust of new jersey, united for ALICE, kids count, county health rankings, new jersey state health assessment data, seer cancer incidence and mortality, to name a few sources of secondary data). RWJBarnabas Health conducts an extensive service area population physician need study (by primary care and physician specialty) every three to five years. The study uses generally accepted physician to population ratios adjusted for local community population to identify gaps in service. These studies inform medical staff development and recruitment needs at the hospitals to assure responsiveness to the specific identified needs of the community and to assure access to physician provider services. CMMC reviews patient surveys and comments to understand patient and family concerns. Further, participates and works with many local and regional organizations on health issues including: discussing and prioritizing needs, coordinating services, providing education and specialty knowledge, supporting local health promotions. These community touch points provide the hospital with valuable external insights regarding community need. CMC reviews patient surveys and comments to understand patient and family concerns.

Pse&g csh facility reporting group a ==================================== CSH draws patients across the region and operates at 12 different locations in 9 counties in New Jersey. Its inpatient hospital for comprehensive rehab services is located in New Brunswick, NJ. Long term care services are provided in Toms River, NJ as well as Mountainside, in Union County. CSH is located in New Brunswick, the population center of Middlesex County. According to Census Bureau estimates, Middlesex County is the second largest county in New Jersey and is estimated to have had the sixth largest growth in residents from 2010 to 2020. New Brunswick is the largest city in the County. New Brunswick's extensive history dates back to pre-Revolutionary times and it is the home of Rutgers University, the State University of New Jersey. The 5-block downtown area contains nearly 50 restaurants and three distinct theaters - the African American-focused Crossroads Theatre, George Street Playhouse and the State Theater of New Jersey for concerts and special events - as well as the American Repertory Ballet, that also perform at various venues throughout the state. Despite the vibrancy of City culture pre-COVID, many challenges exist for residents residing in New Brunswick. There are 12 Designated Comprehensive Health Centers in Middlesex County and a number of census tracts with MUA/MUP designation. The growing population is comprised of 73% minority and 31.3% of residents are foreign born. Over 53.2% of residents aged five and older speak a language other than English at home. Over 36.1% of persons are estimated to be in poverty and over 19% of persons under age 65 are without health insurance while 31.9% of the population is on public insurance, of which only 7.9% is Medicare. Toms River, is the county seat of Ocean County. Ocean County is home to one-third of the Jersey Shore, bordering the Atlantic Ocean in the southern part of New Jersey, a prime destination for large beach populations, fisherman and boaters, which places additional seasonal demands on the hospital's emergency department. The Census Bureau counts evidence Ocean County as having the second highest percentage increase (10.5%) in population numbers from 2010 to 2020, and it had the second largest highest increase in number for all counties in the state. Toms River Township is ranked the 8th most populous subcounty/township area in the state according to the 2020 Census and 2021 Estimates. While there was an estimated 4.6% population growth estimated between the 2010 and 2020 (the 27th highest volume increase in state), and an estimated 1.6% increase from 2020 to 2021 (the 2nd highest increase), the damage brought by Hurricane Sandy to the area limits housing and population growth. The 2020 Census estimates Toms River CDP to have a 19% minority presence, 8.4% are foreign born and 10.6% of population aged 5 years and older speak a language other than English at home. It is estimated that 19% of persons are aged 65 and older. It is estimated that 7.3% of the Toms River population is living below the poverty level and 7.1% lack health insurance. Approximately 34.3% have public health insurance; 13.8% Medicaid and an estimated 20.5% Medicare insurance coverage alone or in combination. The contrast of New Brunswick and Toms River reflects the diverse communities served by CSH. CSH is committed to providing quality and compassionate care to its communities. Underinsured and Medicare comprised nearly 18% of its revenue mix in 2021. Its patient mix was 72% minority groups.

Approximately 34.3% have public health insurance; 13.8% Medicaid and an estimated 20.5% Medicare insurance coverage alone or in combination. CMC serves both suburban and semi-rural communities including the shore communities and lower-income municipalities of Manchester and South Toms River. CMC serves a significant proportion of elderly - 2020 census estimates that 22.4% of the county population is aged 65 and older as opposed to 16.9% for the state. In 2021, 61.3% of CMC's patient admissions were comprised of a Medicare payer. Further, nearly 12.9% of CMC's payer mix was comprised of underinsured and uninsured payer categories. Minorities comprised over 23.5% of patients. CMMC is located in the town of Belleville, Essex County. CMMC serves a broad range of communities in urban and suburban settings with culturally and ethnically diverse populations. CMMC's service area extends to neighboring Hudson, Passaic and Bergen counties. CMMC's service area includes its home town of Belleville and the North Ward/ Ironbound sections of Newark, which contains a large mix of Latino and Italian-American populations. Approximately 31-33% of the Belleville and Newark populations are foreign born and a large majority of the foreign born population coming from the Latin Americas. In Belleville, over 54% of persons aged 5 and older speak a language other than English at home, for Newark residents, this estimate is nearly 50%. Essex County is the third largest populous County in New Jersey and its population grew 10.2% from 2010 to 2020, the third highest county growth rate in the state. Belleville is the 62nd largest MCD in 2020 and also is estimated to have grown 6.4% since the 2010 Estimate. Neighboring Newark City, the largest City in New Jersey, is estimated to have increased in population by 12.4%. Newark and Belleville are estimated to be comprised of nearly 89% and 69% minority population, respectively. The percent of persons in poverty are increasing and are estimated at 26.3% and 11.2% for Newark and Belleville, respectively. Persons under age 65 without health insurance is estimated at 18.9% for Newark and 12.8% for Belleville. As a healthcare provider to the Belleville and the greater Newark communities, CMMC served more than 71.6% of its patients from minority populations in 2021. Over 43% of its patients are of underinsured and uninsured payer categories and Medicare represents an additional 32.7% of patients. Places in the service area include MUA/MUP designations and state designation as medically underinsured. Newark is also designated an Urban Enterprise Zone (UEZ) by the State of New Jersey. CBMC is located in the town of Livingston and borders West Orange, within Essex County, New Jersey. Essex County is the third largest populous County and the second most densely populated in New Jersey, and has experienced growth in numbers at 10.2% from 2010 to 2020. There are 22 municipalities in Essex County with the Western parts encompassing more affluent and suburban populations, while the Eastern Region of the County contains more urbanized, impoverished inner city communities (four designated urban enterprise zones - Newark, East Orange, Orange and Irvington). Newark is ranked as one of the poorest places in the county and is located less than ten miles from Essex Fells which has one of the highest per capita incomes in the State. Livingston, South Orange and Short Hills have some of the highest percentage of Jewish populations for municipalities in the U.S., and Belleville and Bloomfield maintain a strong Italian-American population. Livingston is the 75th largest MCD/township in New Jersey and is estimated to have increased 6.9% in its population from 2010 to 2020. It is comprised of nearly 37% minority population and 27% of persons were foreign born. Nearly 34.3% of its population is estimated to speak a language other than English at home.

"Our dedication to serving the people of New Jersey extends far beyond the care provided within the walls of our health facilities. We support programs that promote health and wellness in our communities and provide access to services that would otherwise be unavailable. We are committed to the ongoing improvement of the health, quality of life, and vitality of our communities. We strive to bring the best healthcare to meet the evolving needs of residents in New Jersey - whether that be enhancing the coordination for treating complex health conditions or improving community health through local programs and education. This mission of health and wellness is exemplified as RWJBarnabas Health, the largest academic health care system in New Jersey of which CSH is an affiliate, launched its initiative of ""Ending Racism, Together"" in 2020. This initiative focuses on creating racial, ethnic and cultural equity, prioritizing those communities that are most disenfranchised and experience poor health, and social, economic, and educational outcomes due to the generational effects of racism. Governance and leadership strongly believe that this is one of our most important endeavors that will be transformative, not just for people of color but for our entire enterprise."" Ending Racism, Together focuses on four primary areas: patient care, workforce, community, and system operations. Using an evidence-based approach, each area includes quantifiable tactics to measure success at the organizational, facility, and individual level. This health equity challenge was followed by a major initiative in 2021 focused on food equity. The Ending Racism, Together, is further supported by RWJBarnabas Health Social Impact & Community Investment practice (SICI) which leverages RWJBarnabas Health's broad range of assets to advance a culture of health and improve the quality of life for communities throughout New Jersey. The Social Impact & Community Investment practice is rooted in ensuring health equity, by advancing strategic policy change, combined with evidence based and innovative programs that address the social, economic, and environmental conditions that have a significant impact on health outcomes. The Social Impact & Community Investment practice at RWJBarnabas Health also serves as a driver of the system's anchor mission to Hire Local, Buy Local, and Invest Local. Other community building activities are undertaken by RWJBarnabas Health to improve the medical and socioeconomic well-being of the communities in our care. This is accomplished through service on state and regional advocacy committees and boards, volunteerism with local community-based non-profit advocacy groups, and participation in conferences and other educational activities to promote understanding of the root causes of health concerns. RWJBarnabas Health provides educational materials, conducts community health fairs and holds health education seminars and outreach sessions for its patients and for community providers. Presentations are provided by physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals. The majority of the Board of Trustees' members are individuals with local businesses or who reside in the community. Hospital staff members serve on the Boards of many local not-for-profit organizations or provide other forms of support such as fundraising, activity participation and promotion of the charitable events and mission. All qualified physicians are extended privileges. Diversity is welcomed and encouraged for recruitment of Trustees, physicians and staff. Under the directive of the System's Finance Office, surplus funds are utilized for capital projects to improve services, to purchase equipment, or to advance medical care, programs and activities. All of these purposes for expenditure of surplus funds, in turn, benefit the community.
