Mission statement ================= We care for and respect all patients, their families and each other. Organization overview ===================== Shore Medical Center is a not-for-profit healthcare resource that has served southern New Jersey for more than 70 years. In that time, Shore has become known for providing a compassionate level of service that goes hand in hand with its advanced technology and modern medical facilities. Shore is a 296 bed, not-for-profit acute care medical center located in Somers Point, Atlantic County, New Jersey, approximately 10 miles south of Atlantic City, New Jersey. Shore is licensed and approved by the state of New Jersey to operate as a general acute care hospital providing both inpatient and outpatient services to the community. Founded in 1928 and chartered in 1940 as a not-for-profit corporation, Shore serves the healthcare needs of both the year-round and summer residents of Atlantic and Cape May counties, as well as visitors from other communities and states. Shore has undergone more than fourteen major construction and renovation projects since 1940 to provide necessary facilities and services for its expanding patient population. In 2013, Shore unveiled a new state-of-the-art medical oncology suite on the third floor of its freestanding Cancer Center. The 3,600 square foot expansion features eight spacious infusion therapy bays, three exam rooms, a family waiting room, nutrition center and a fully equipped and stocked pharmacy with a full-time oncology pharmacist. Shore engages the talents and teamwork of the best and brightest people in the industry. Our team of physicians, nurses, technologists, managers, financial experts, Board of Trustees and our affiliates all work together to ensure that the community has access to the best healthcare resources when needed. Shore continues to be accredited by the Joint Commission, the nation's predominant standards setting and accrediting body in healthcare, as a primary stroke center. Shore also is also certified by the Joint Commission for its spine surgery and hip and knee replacement programs in recognition of the medical center's strict adherence to quality standards. In 2014, Shore Medical Center received the following honors for its quality and safety measures: - 2014 The Joint Commission survey outcome exceeds expectation for Hospital Accreditation and Disease Specific recertification for Stroke, Spine, Hip and Knee. - 2014 Joint Commission Top Performers for prevention and treatment for Heart Failure, AMI and Pneumonia. - Leapfrog Hospital Safety Score: A - VHA Partnership for Patients Platinum Award In 2014, more than 9,190 patients were admitted to the medical center, and approximately 44,796 were treated in Shore's emergency department. Community focused education ============================ Shore's wellness program has been an integral part of the community, offering health education and screenings for more than 20 years. In 2014 thousands of local residents participated in clinical encounters, including approximately 500 blood pressure screenings and more than 1,000 participants in additional health screenings such as glucose and cholesterol screenings. Shore is the lead agency for the New Jersey Cancer Education and Early Detection (CEED) program in Atlantic County. The program provides cancer screening services at convenient locations within the communities we serve. Shore coordinated 299 breast cancer screenings, 802 cervical cancer screenings, 88 colorectal screenings and 53 prostate screenings for the underserved population. In 2014, Shore Medical Center received $396,467 in CEED grant funding for these screenings and matched $79,042. Shore is also lead agency for the Comprehensive Cancer Control (CCC) coalitions to provide policy, environmental and system changes in Atlantic and Cape May County in an effort to reduce cancer. In 2014, Shore Medical Center received $133,668 for these initiatives. In 2014, 3,030 individuals were part of the education and outreach conducted through CEED and CCC through awareness events, workshops or lectures. Childbirth education, breast feeding, sibling preparation and other programs to welcome a newborn into the family are offered to the entire community. Shore's website provides information on medical center programs, services, and physicians. It also offers educational videos, health-focused articles and assessments. Shore's physician finder service is free and available on the internet. The service matches a person's needs such as specialty, location, insurance and office hours to a Shore medical staff physician. Shore Medical Center, in partnership with Cape Regional Medical Center and Inspira Health System is part of a Health Information Exchange called NJ SHINE. This Health Information Exchange is comprised of a Physician Portal and a Patient Portal. The Patient Portal is designed to help improve the healthcare for patients through the real-time sharing of medical information. Patients can view test results, reports, medications and other healthcare information on services provided by Shore Medical Center, Inspira and Cape Regional quickly and efficiently. This greatly impacts a patient's continuity of care by providing timely access to healthcare information, avoiding unnecessary lab tests or prescribing medications that might interact with other medications the patient is on. The Physician Portal and Patient Portal can be accessed at www.shoremedicalcenter.org.\n\nUncompensated care ================== Shore has long been a regional leader in meeting its commitment to the medically underserved members of the community. In addition to its community outreach programs, the medical center provides substantial amounts of uncompensated care to those least able to pay for these services. In keeping with its mission to care for patients, the medical center serves all without regard to ability to pay. In 2014 Shore spent approximately $14.2 million at cost for medical services delivered to these patients. The hospital only received a state subsidy of approximately $649 Thousand to offset this amount. Shore recognizes the financial difficulty imposed on the self-pay patient who is least able to afford to pay for healthcare services when billed at the medical center's standard charges. Therefore the medical center established an innovative policy to address the disparity between hospital-billed charges and the actual cost of providing care to the self-pay patient or under-insured patient. The method adopted is based upon sound accounting principles to determine the actual cost of providing care to patients using a known standard developed for the Medicare cost report. The policy is to apply the most current hospital specific Medicare cost to charge ratio to the self-pay patient's total charge balance and adjust the bill to cost. This adjustment is limited only to those patients not covered by insurance. This ratio is subject to change as determined by the Medicare fiscal intermediary. Patients unable to pay the cost adjusted bill in full are permitted to enter into a hospital-approved payment arrangement. Payment arrangements are determined based upon the financial condition of the patient and paid over time using our existing payment arrangement methodology. As a non-profit healthcare provider, it is Shore's responsibility to deliver high-quality healthcare regardless of the patient's ability to pay. Shore is committed to the community that it serves. The challenge of meeting the high costs of providing quality health services is made possible through the dedication of physicians, staff and volunteers. Affiliations ============ Shore Medical Center is a proud member of the Jefferson Neuroscience Network.

Together they have formed St. Chris Onsite Pediatric Partners (SCOPP), which provides 24/7 pediatric and neonatal care at Shore Medical Center. SCOPP was formed to deliver high quality care to pediatric and neonatal patients in community hospitals like Shore Medical Center in a manner that unites all of the positive aspects of an academic children's medical center with the positive aspects of a nimble, private group of neonatologists. Shore Medical Center's long-standing affiliation with Penn Medicine continues to be a valuable partnership, providing patients with access to advanced treatment in multiple disciplines, including maternal-fetal medicine and cardiac care. Heart disease patients can turn to Shore and Penn Heart & Vascular.

Shore Medical Center has physicians on staff from the Rothman Institute, which is internationally recognized for excellence in orthopedic science and technology. These physicians are experts in their specialty areas and leaders in clinical research and technology. Spirit of Shore: A Planetree Initiative ======================================= Hospitals are busy places, but the staff at Shore is never too busy to pay attention to the thoughtful gestures and kind acts that can make a meaningful difference to patients and their family members. This philosophy is the driving force behind the Spirit of Shore initiative at Shore. The Spirit of Shore reflects the culture of caring that is unique to Shore. This culture is further evident in the medical center's affiliation with Planetree, a global non-profit organization that promotes patient-centered care in healing environments. Shore Medical Center is the first and only hospital in New Jersey to be awarded the prestigious Planetree Designation, recognizing Shore's commitment to patient-centered care. There is a dedicated Planetree Resource Room within the Surgical Pavilion gives patients and visitors a location where they can do research or enjoy some quiet time.\n\nShore's \"No One Dies Alone\" is a volunteer program that provides companions for patients near death who do not have any family or close friends to be with them in their final hours. Volunteers sit with patients and offer solace through meditation, music, poems or simply through touch. Shore's Patient and Family Advisory Council is made up of former Shore patients and family members, community members and volunteers. Group members share stories, provide valuable feedback on their hospital experiences and assist leadership in decision making by incorporating their experiences into Shore's philosophy and operation. Shore staff members also use these meetings to educate the council about the medical center and healthcare issues in general.

Organization overview ====================== shore memorial is a not-for-profit health care resource that has served southern new jersey for more than 70 years. In that time, shore memorial has become known for providing a compassionate level of service that goes hand in hand with its advanced technology and modern medical facilities. Shore memorial is a 296 bed, not-for-profit acute care hospital located in somers point, atlantic county, new jersey, approximately 10 miles south of atlantic city, new jersey. Shore memorial is licensed and approved by the state of new jersey to operate as a general acute care hospital providing both inpatient and outpatient services to the community. Founded in 1928 and chartered in 1940 as a not-for-profit corporation, shore memorial serves the healthcare needs of both the year-round and summer residents of atlantic and cape may counties, as well as visitors from other communities and states. Shore memorial has undergone fourteen major construction and renovation projects since 1940 to provide necessary facilities and services for its expanding patient population. Currently the hospital is constructing a four-story 135,000 square foot surgical and outpatient services pavilion to meet the growing needs of the community. The project is expected to be completed in the summer of 2011. The board of trustees and staff of the hospital take great pride in pursuing this endeavor during the worst economic climate seen since the great depression, as it has resulted in competitive rates for labor and materials and financing. The pavilion will position shore memorial as the region's leading surgical provider and will benefit the residents of atlantic and cape may counties. Shore memorial engages the talents and teamwork of the best and brightest people in the industry. Our team of physicians, nurses, technologists, managers, financial experts, board of trustees and our affiliates in philadelphia all work together to ensure that the community has access to the best healthcare resources when needed. And the community has responded positively to our approach to healthcare delivery. Independent market research by the melior group confirms that shore memorial is the preferred hospital among atlantic and cape may county residents. The community has voiced their vote of confidence in shore memorial and the hospital will continue to earn the community's trust as the leading healthcare provider in the region. The professional community has also taken notice of shore memorial. In 2010 shore memorial was officially designated a primary stroke center by the new jersey department of health and senior services. Shore memorial is also accredited by the joint commission-the nation's predominant standards-setting and accrediting body in health care- as a primary stroke center. The joint commission has also accredited shore memorial's lumbar and cervical spine surgery programs in recognition of the hospital's strict adherence to quality standards. In fact, shore memorial's neurosurgical spine program is one of only a handful of hospitals nationwide to receive this accolade. In 2010, the american college of surgeons commission on cancer (coc) awarded shore memorial's cancer program the \"three year with commendation\" award, which is assigned to programs that go above and beyond in the coc's eligibility standards. Shore memorial's 28,000 square foot regional cancer center provides medical oncology, advanced radiation oncology and numerous outpatient-support programs for cancer patients. Individualized services include social and nutritional counseling coupled with clinical prevention and innovative treatment programs in cooperation with the penn cancer network. In 2010 shore memorial launched its wound care and hyperbaric medicine center.

Health today from shore memorial hospital is a community-focused 30 minute health information television show. It is produced in cooperation with the local nbc affiliate nbc 40 and brings healthcare issues as discussed by shore memorial physicians, nurses and other experts into the homes of viewers each week. The shows also feature a wellness segment and special reports on technology and have touched every part of the hospital from sterile processing to the emergency room, physical therapy, diagnostic imaging, laboratory services and more. In over 300 shows, more than 1,000 topics have been discussed and viewers have been taken inside the operating room to watch actual surgeries including a craniotomy, spine surgery, c-section and joint replacement. Shore memorial's wellness program has been an integral part of the community, offering health education and screenings for more than 20 years. In 2010 thousands of local residents participated in clinical encounters, including 606 blood pressures and more than 870 additional health screenings such as vascular and glucose screenings. Shore is the lead agency for the nj cancer education and early detection (ceed) program for atlantic county, providing cancer screening services at convenient locations within the communities we serve. Shore memorial coordinated more 370 breast cancer screenings, 794 cervical cancer screenings, 51 colorectal screenings and 56 prostate screenings for the underserved population.

Additionally, 2,539 individuals attended educational workshops or lectures and 1,763 individuals attended special community events. Additionally, shore memorial cancer center offered 15 community outreach events in 2010, during which more than 781 people in the community were provided with education about cancer prevention and early detection.

Uncompensated care =================== shore memorial has long been a regional leader in meeting its commitment to the medically underserved members of the community. In addition to its community outreach programs and obstetrical clinic, the hospital provides substantial amounts of uncompensated care to those least able to pay for these services. In keeping with its mission to care for patients, the hospital serves all without regard to ability to pay. In 2010 shore memorial spent approximately 9.4 million at cost for medical services delivered to these patients. The hospital only received a state subsidy of approximately $721,000 to offset this amount. Shore memorial recognizes the financial difficulty imposed on the self-pay patient who is least able to afford to pay for healthcare services when billed at the hospital's standard charges. Therefore the hospital established an innovative policy to address the disparity between hospital-billed charges and the actual cost of providing care to the self-pay patient or under-insured patient. The method adopted is based upon sound accounting principles to determine the actual cost of providing care to patients using a known standard developed for the medicare cost report. The policy is to apply the most current hospital specific medicare cost to charge ratio to the self-pay patient's total charge balance and adjust the bill to cost. This adjustment is limited only to those patients not covered by insurance. This ratio is subject to change as determined by the medicare fiscal intermediary. Patients unable to pay the cost adjusted bill in full are permitted to enter into a hospital approved payment arrangement. Payment arrangements are determined based upon the financial condition of the patient and paid over time using our existing payment arrangement methodology. As a non-profit healthcare provider, it is shore memorial's responsibility to deliver high-quality healthcare regardless of the patient's ability to pay. In 2010, the hospital provided more than $21 million in uncompensated care, which includes $8.5 million in bad debt. Shore memorial is committed to the community that it serves. The challenge of meeting the high costs of providing quality health services is made possible through the dedication of physicians, staff and volunteers.

Mission statement ================= we care for and respect all patients, their families and each other. Organization overview ===================== shore medical center is a not-for-profit health care resource that has served southern new jersey for more than 70 years. In that time, shore has become known for providing a compassionate level of service that goes hand in hand with its advanced technology and modern medical facilities. Shore is a 296 bed, not-for-profit acute care medical center located in somers point, atlantic county, new jersey, approximately 10 miles south of atlantic city, new jersey. Shore is licensed and approved by the state of new jersey to operate as a general acute care hospital providing both inpatient and outpatient services to the community. Founded in 1928 and chartered in 1940 as a not-for-profit corporation, shore serves the healthcare needs of both the year-round and summer residents of atlantic and cape may counties, as well as visitors from other communities and states. Shore has undergone more than fourteen major construction and renovation projects since 1940 to provide necessary facilities and services for its expanding patient population. In 2011 shore completed and opened a four-story 135,000 square foot surgical and outpatient services pavilion to meet the growing needs of the community. The board of trustees and staff of the medical center took great pride in pursuing this endeavor during the worst economic climate seen since the great depression, as it resulted in competitive rates for labor and materials and financing. The pavilion - which includes state-of-the-art operating suites, cardiovascular imaging services, endoscopy services and infusion therapy suites - positions shore as the region's leading surgical provider and benefits the residents of atlantic and cape may counties. Shore engages the talents and teamwork of the best and brightest people in the industry. Our team of physicians, nurses, technologists, managers, financial experts, board of trustees and our affiliates all work together to ensure that the community has access to the best healthcare resources when needed. And the community has responded positively to our approach to healthcare delivery. In 2012 shore medical center was honored as best hospital & medical center in the press of altantic city's readers choice awards and was named a hospital of the year finalist in the 2012 njbiz healthcare heroes award ceremony. The professional community has also taken notice of shore. Shore has been accredited by the joint commission, the nation's predominant standards setting and accrediting body in health care, as a primary stroke center. Shore was also certified by the joint commission for its spine surgery and hip and knee replacement programs in recognition of the medical center's strict adherence to quality standards. In 2012, nearly 10,700 patients were admitted to the medical center, and more than 46,500 were treated in shore's emergency department. Community focused education ============================ shore's wellness program has been an integral part of the community, offering health education and screenings for more than 20 years. In 2012 thousands of local residents participated in clinical encounters, including more than 300 blood pressures and more than 1,000 additional health screenings such as vascular and glucose screenings. Shore is the lead agency for the nj cancer education and early detection (ceed) program for atlantic county, providing cancer screening services at convenient locations within the communities we serve. Shore coordinated 431 breast cancer screenings, 841 cervical cancer screenings, 38 colorectal screenings and 52 prostate screenings for the underserved population. In 2012, shore medical center received $376,629 in ceed grant funding for these screenings. Shore is also lead agency for the atlantic county healthy living coalition to provide outreach and education in which shore received $290,242 for these outreach activities, in 2012 1,549 individuals attended educational workshops or lectures. Additionally, the shore cancer center offered 28 educational events in 2012, during which more than 2,500 people in the community were provided with education about cancer prevention and early detection.

Shore's website provides information on medical center programs, services, and physicians. It also offers educational videos, health-focused articles and assessments. Shore's physician finder service is free and available on the internet. The service matches a person's needs such as specialty, location, insurance and office hours to a shore medical staff physician. Uncompensated care ================== shore has long been a regional leader in meeting its commitment to the medically underserved members of the community. In addition to its community outreach programs and obstetrical clinic, the medical center provides substantial amounts of uncompensated care to those least able to pay for these services. In keeping with its mission to care for patients, the medical center serves all without regard to ability to pay. In 2012 shore spent approximately $18.5 million at cost for medical services delivered to these patients. The hospital only received a state subsidy of approximately $1.3 million to offset this amount. Shore recognizes the financial difficulty imposed on the self-pay patient who is least able to afford to pay for healthcare services when billed at the medical center's standard charges. Therefore the medical center established an innovative policy to address the disparity between hospital-billed charges and the actual cost of providing care to the self-pay patient or under-insured patient. The method adopted is based upon sound accounting principles to determine the actual cost of providing care to patients using a known standard developed for the medicare cost report.\n\nThe policy is to apply the most current hospital specific medicare cost to charge ratio to the self-pay patient's total charge balance and adjust the bill to cost. This adjustment is limited only to those patients not covered by insurance. This ratio is subject to change as determined by the medicare fiscal intermediary. Patients unable to pay the cost adjusted bill in full are permitted to enter into a hospital-approved payment arrangement. Payment arrangements are determined based upon the financial condition of the patient and paid over time using our existing payment arrangement methodology. As a non-profit healthcare provider, it is shore's responsibility to deliver high-quality healthcare regardless of the patient's ability to pay. In 2012, the medical center provided more than $25 million in uncompensated care, which includes $20 million in bad debt. Shore is committed to the community that it serves. The challenge of meeting the high costs of providing quality health services is made possible through the dedication of physicians, staff and volunteers.

Background ========== Shore Medical Center (\"THE MEDICAL CENTER\") is a general medical and surgical hospital recognized by the IRS as an internal revenue code section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Pursuant to its charitable purposes, Shore provides medically necessary healthcare services to all individuals in a non-discriminatory manner regardless of race, color, creed, sex, national origin, or ability to pay. Moreover, THE MEDICAL CENTER operates consistently with the following criteria outlined in IRS revenue ruling 69-545: 1) THE MEDICAL CENTER provides medically necessary healthcare services to all individuals regardless of ability to pay, including charity care, self-pay, Medicare and Medicaid patients; 2) THE MEDICAL CENTER operates an active emergency department for all persons; which is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days per year; 3) THE MEDICAL CENTER maintains an open medical staff, with privileges available to all qualified physicians; 4) Control of THE MEDICAL CENTER rests with its Board of Trustees; which is comprised of independent civic leaders and other prominent members of the community; and 5) Surplus funds are used to improve the quality of patient care, expand and renovate facilities and advance medical care; programs and activities. The operations of THE MEDICAL CENTER, as shown through the factors outlined above and other information contained herein, clearly demonstrate that the medical center provides substantial community benefit and that the use and control of Shore is for the benefit of the public and that no part of the income or net earnings of the organization inures to the benefit of any private individual nor is any private interest being served other than incidentally. Mission statement ================= We care for and respect all patients, their families and each other. Organization overview ===================== THE MEDICAL CENTER is a not-for-profit healthcare resource that has served southern New Jersey for more than 70 years. In that time, THE MEDICAL CENTER has become known for providing a compassionate level of service that goes hand in hand with its advanced technology and modern medical facilities. THE MEDICAL CENTER is a 296 bed, not-for-profit acute care medical center located in Somers Point, Atlantic County, New Jersey, approximately 10 miles south of Atlantic City, New Jersey. THE MEDICAL CENTER is licensed and approved by the state of New Jersey to operate as a general acute care hospital providing both inpatient and outpatient services to the community. Founded in 1928 and chartered in 1940 as a not-for-profit corporation, THE MEDICAL CENTER serves the healthcare needs of both the year-round and summer residents of Atlantic and Cape May counties, as well as visitors from other communities and states. THE MEDICAL CENTER has undergone more than fourteen major construction and renovation projects since 1940 to provide necessary facilities and services for its expanding patient population. In 2013, THE MEDICAL CENTER unveiled a new state-of-the-art medical oncology suite on the third floor of its freestanding Cancer Center. The 3,600 square foot expansion features eight spacious infusion therapy bays, three exam rooms, a family waiting room, nutrition center and a fully equipped and stocked pharmacy with a full-time oncology pharmacist. THE MEDICAL CENTER engages the talents and teamwork of the best and brightest people in the industry. Our team of physicians, nurses, technologists, managers, financial experts, Board of Trustees and our affiliates all work together to ensure that the community has access to the best healthcare resources when needed. THE MEDICAL CENTER continues to be accredited by the Joint Commission, the nation's predominant standards setting and accrediting body in healthcare, as a primary stroke center. Shore also is also certified by the Joint Commission for its spine surgery and hip and knee replacement programs in recognition of the medical center's strict adherence to quality standards. In 2015, THE MEDICAL CENTER received the following honors for its quality and safety measures: Shore Medical Center is a High Quality and Safety organization -------------------------------------------------------------- - 2015 The Joint Commission survey outcome exceeds expectation for Hospital. Accreditation and Disease Specific recertification for Stroke, Spine, Hip and Knee ----------------------------------------------------------------- - Leapfrog Hospital Safety Score A concurrently for 3 cycles; - Leapfrog Horizon Recognition Program Achievement recognition; - No Hospital Acquired Condition Reduction Program Payment Reduction; - Pneumonia Core Measure 2014 - 98.4% and 2015 - 100%; AND - Heart Failure Core Measure 2014 - 97.6% and 2015 - 99.5%. In 2015, more than 9,230 patients were admitted to the medical center, and approximately 44,465 were treated in Shore's emergency department. Community focused education ============================ THE MEDICAL CENTER's wellness program has been an integral part of the community, offering health education and screenings for more than 20 years. In 2015 thousands of local residents participated in clinical encounters, including approximately 500 blood pressure screenings and more than 1,000 participants in additional health screenings such as glucose and cholesterol screenings. THE MEDICAL CENTER is the lead agency for the New Jersey Cancer Education and Early Detection (\"CEED\") program in Atlantic County. The program provides cancer screening services at convenient locations within the communities we serve. THE MEDICAL CENTER coordinated 645 clinical breast exams, 279 mammograms, 717 cervical cancer screenings, 81 colorectal screenings and 47 prostate screenings for the underserved population. In 2015, THE MEDICAL CENTER received $393,330 in CEED grant funding for these screenings and matched $20,111. THE MEDICAL CENTER is also lead agency for the Comprehensive Cancer Control (\"CCC\") coalitions to provide policy, environmental and system changes in Atlantic and Cape May County in an effort to reduce cancer. In 2015, THE MEDICAL CENTER received $138,329 for these initiatives. In 2015, 2,940 individuals were part of the education and outreach conducted through CEED and CCC through awareness events, workshops or lectures. Childbirth education, breast feeding, sibling preparation and other programs to welcome a newborn into the family are offered to the entire community. THE MEDICAL CENTER's website provides information on medical center programs, services and physicians. It also offers educational videos, health-focused articles and assessments. THE MEDICAL CENTER's physician finder service is free and available on the internet. The service matches a person's needs such as specialty, location, insurance and office hours to a Shore medical staff physician. Shore Medical Center, in partnership with Cape Regional Medical Center and Inspira Health NETWORK is part of a Health Information Exchange called NJ SHINE. This Health Information Exchange is comprised of a Physician Portal and a Patient Portal. The Patient Portal is designed to help improve the healthcare for patients through the real-time sharing of medical information. Patients can view test results, reports, medications and other healthcare information on services provided by Shore Medical Center, Inspira and Cape Regional quickly and efficiently. This greatly impacts a patient's continuity of care by providing timely access to healthcare information, avoiding unnecessary lab tests or prescribing medications that might interact with other medications the patient is on. The Physician Portal and Patient Portal can be accessed at www.shoremedicalcenter.org.\n\nUncompensated care ================== THE MEDICAL CENTER has long been a regional leader in meeting its commitment to the medically underserved members of the community. In addition to its community outreach programs, the medical center provides substantial amounts of uncompensated care to those least able to pay for these services. In keeping with its mission to care for patients, the medical center serves all without regard to ability to pay. In 2015 THE MEDICAL CENTER spent approximately $10.7 million at cost for medical services delivered to these patients. The THE MEDICAL CENTER only received a state subsidy of approximately $395,000 to offset this amount. THE MEDICAL CENTER recognizes the financial difficulty imposed on the self-pay patient who is least able to afford to pay for healthcare services when billed at the medical center's standard charges. Therefore the medical center established an innovative policy to address the disparity between hospital-billed charges and the actual cost of providing care to the self-pay patient or under-insured patient. The method adopted is based upon sound accounting principles to determine the actual cost of providing care to patients using a known standard developed for the Medicare cost report. The policy is to apply the most current hospital specific Medicare cost to charge ratio to the self-pay patient's total charge balance and adjust the bill to cost. This adjustment is limited only to those patients not covered by insurance. This ratio is subject to change as determined by the Medicare fiscal intermediary. Patients unable to pay the cost adjusted bill in full are permitted to enter into a hospital-approved payment arrangement. Payment arrangements are determined based upon the financial condition of the patient and paid over time using our existing payment arrangement methodology. As a non-profit healthcare provider, it is THE MEDICAL CENTER's responsibility to deliver high-quality healthcare regardless of the patient's ability to pay. THE MEDICAL CENTER is committed to the community that it serves. The challenge of meeting the high costs of providing quality health services is made possible through the dedication of physicians, staff and volunteers.

Background ========== Shore Medical Center (\"Shore\") is a general medical and surgical hospital recognized by the IRS as an internal revenue code 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Pursuant to its charitable purposes, Shore provides medically necessary healthcare services to all individuals in a non-discriminatory manner regardless of race, color, creed, sex, national origin, religion or ability to pay. Moreover, Shore operates consistently with the following criteria outlined in IRS revenue ruling 69-545: 1) Shore provides medically necessary healthcare services to all individuals regardless of ability to pay, including charity care, self-pay, Medicare and Medicaid patients; 2) Shore operates an active emergency department for all persons; which is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days per year; 3) Shore maintains an open medical staff, with privileges available to all qualified physicians; 4) Control of Shore rests with its Board of Trustees; which is comprised of independent civic leaders and other prominent members of the community; and 5) Surplus funds are used to improve the quality of patient care, expand and renovate facilities and advance medical care; programs and activities. The operations of Shore, as shown through the factors outlined above and other information contained herein, clearly demonstrate that the medical center provides substantial community benefit and that the use and control of Shore is for the benefit of the public and that no part of the income or net earnings of the organization inures to the benefit of any private individual nor is any private interest being served other than incidentally. Mission statement ================= We care for and respect all patients, their families and each other. Organization overview ===================== Shore Medical Center is a not-for-profit healthcare resource that has served southern New Jersey for more than 70 years. In that time, Shore has become known for providing a compassionate level of service that goes hand in hand with its advanced technology and modern medical facilities. Shore is a 296 bed, not-for-profit acute care medical center located in Somers Point, Atlantic County, New Jersey, approximately 10 miles south of Atlantic City, New Jersey. Shore is licensed and approved by the state of New Jersey to operate as a general acute care hospital providing both inpatient and outpatient services to the community. Founded in 1928 and chartered in 1940 as a not-for-profit corporation, Shore serves the healthcare needs of both the year-round and summer residents of Atlantic and Cape May counties, as well as visitors from other communities and states. Shore has undergone more than fourteen major construction and renovation projects since 1940 to provide necessary facilities and services for its expanding patient population. In 2013, Shore unveiled a new state-of-the-art medical oncology suite on the third floor of its freestanding Cancer Center. The 3,600 square foot expansion features eight spacious infusion therapy bays, three exam rooms, a family waiting room, nutrition center and a fully equipped and stocked pharmacy with a full-time oncology pharmacist. Shore engages the talents and teamwork of the best and brightest people in the industry. Our team of physicians, nurses, technologists, managers, financial experts, Board of Trustees and our affiliates all work together to ensure that the community has access to the best healthcare resources when needed. Shore continues to be accredited by the Joint Commission, the nation's predominant standards setting and accrediting body in healthcare, as a primary stroke center. Shore is also certified by the Joint Commission for its spine surgery and hip and knee replacement programs in recognition of the medical center's strict adherence to quality standards. In 2013, Shore Medical Center was honored by The Joint Commission as a Top Performer on Key Quality Measures, honoring Shore for clinical excellence in the areas of heart attack, heart failure, pneumonia and surgical care. Additionally, the Shore Cancer Center was awarded the \"Three Year With Commendation\" Accreditation Award by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer (CoC). Only one in four community cancer programs nationwide are qualified to earn this level of approval. In 2013, more than 10,100 patients were admitted to the medical center, and approximately 43,975 were treated in shore's emergency department. Community focused education ============================ Shore's wellness program has been an integral part of the community, offering health education and screenings for more than 20 years. In 2013, thousands of local residents participated in clinical encounters, including nearly 100 blood pressures and more than 1,000 participants in additional health screenings such as vascular and glucose screenings. Shore is the lead agency for the New Jersey Cancer Education and Early Detection (CEED) program in Atlantic County. The program provides cancer screening services at convenient locations within the communities we serve. Shore coordinated 418 breast cancer screenings, 1,040 cervical cancer screenings, 130 colorectal screenings and 63 prostate screenings for the underserved population. In 2013, Shore Medical Center received $538,801 in CEED grant funding for these screenings and matched $99,156. Shore is also THE lead agency for the Comprehensive Cancer Control (CCC) coalitions to provide policy, environmental and system changes in Atlantic and Cape May Counties in an effort to reduce cancer. In 2013, Shore Medical Center received $158,801 for these initiatives. In 2013, 1,426 individuals were part of the education and outreach conducted through CEED and CCC through awareness events, workshops or lectures. Childbirth education, breast feeding, sibling preparation and other programs to welcome a newborn into the family are offered to the entire community. Shore's website provides information on medical center programs, services and physicians. It also offers educational videos, health-focused articles and assessments. Shore's physician finder service is free and available on the internet. The service matches a person's needs such as specialty, location, insurance and office hours to a Shore medical staff physician.\n\nUncompensated care ================== Shore has long been a regional leader in meeting its commitment to the medically underserved members of the community. In addition to its community outreach programs and obstetrical clinic, the medical center provides substantial amounts of uncompensated care to those least able to pay for these services. In keeping with its mission to care for patients, the medical center serves all without regard to ability to pay. In 2013, Shore spent approximately $10.4 million at cost for medical services delivered to these patients. The hospital only received a state subsidy of approximately $1.2 million to offset this amount. Shore recognizes the financial difficulty imposed on the self-pay patient who is least able to afford to pay for healthcare services when billed at the medical center's standard charges. Therefore, the medical center established an innovative policy to address the disparity between hospital-billed charges and the actual cost of providing care to the self-pay patient or under-insured patient. The method adopted is based upon sound accounting principles to determine the actual cost of providing care to patients using a known standard developed for the Medicare cost report. The policy is to apply the most current hospital specific Medicare cost to charge ratio to the self-pay patient's total charge balance and adjust the bill to cost. This adjustment is limited only to those patients not covered by insurance. This ratio is subject to change as determined by the Medicare fiscal intermediary. Patients unable to pay the cost adjusted bill in full are permitted to enter into a hospital-approved payment arrangement. Payment arrangements are determined based upon the financial condition of the patient and paid over time using our existing payment arrangement methodology. As a non-profit healthcare provider, it is shore's responsibility to deliver high-quality healthcare regardless of the patient's ability to pay. Shore is committed to the community that it serves. The challenge of meeting the high costs of providing quality health services is made possible through the dedication of physicians, staff and volunteers. Affiliations ============ Shore is proud to be affiliated with the world-renowned university of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS), also known as Penn Medicine, giving Shore physicians and their patients the benefit of clinical research, educational resources, and the latest in medical technology delivered in a community medical center setting through a seamless connection with this Philadelphia health system. Through Shore's affiliation with Penn Medicine, cardiologists from Penn Heart & Vascular provide low-risk cardiac catheterization services on-site in the shore CardioVascular Institute (CVI). Through this arrangement, Shore physicians and the cardiovascular team collaborate with Penn cardiologists to provide comprehensive care of the heart and circulatory system for patients in the southern New Jersey area. Additionally, the affiliation provides emergency services for heart attack patients. The Penn Heart Rescue program supplies emergency airlift for patients in need of heart surgery or emergency angioplasty. Additionally, Shore offers a maternal fetal medicine program with Penn Medicine to care for mothers experiencing high-risk pregnancies. In 2013, Shore revolutionized the practice of intensive care medicine by partnering with Advanced ICU Care, the nation's largest provider of tele-ICU services. This program includes 24/7/365 monitoring of patients by highly trained intensivist physicians who complement Shore's onsite team of expert physicians and nurses to provide exceptional care around the clock. 2013 also saw Shore welcome the expert neonatologists from Onsite Neonatal Partners to its medical staff to provide both neonatal and pediatric care. Shore is also a member of the Jefferson Neuroscience Network and has physicians on staff from the Rothman Institute, enhancing the services already being provided to patients in the areas of orthopedics and neurology. Spirit of Shore: A Planetree Initiative ======================================= Hospitals are busy places, but the staff at Shore is never too busy to pay attention to the thoughtful gestures and kind acts that can make a meaningful difference to patients and their family members. This philosophy is the driving force behind the Spirit of Shore initiative at Shore. The Spirit of Shore reflects the culture of caring that is unique to Shore. This culture is further evident in the medical center's affiliation with Planetree, a global non-profit organization that promotes patient-centered care in healing environments. In June of 2013, Shore Medical Center became the first and only hospital in New Jersey to be awarded the prestigious Planetree Designation, recognizing Shore's commitment to patient-centered care. Centers of Excellence ===================== Shore's recognized centers of excellence include but are not limited to the following: Cancer Center ------------- Shore's cancer program was designed with one goal in mind: fulfilling the medical center's continuing mission to provide the most advanced healthcare services to individuals and their families. The Cancer Center at Shore was conceived, designed and built specifically to support the special needs of cancer patients and their families.

jersey for more than 70 years. in that time, shore has become known for providing a compassionate level of service that goes hand in hand with its advanced technology and modern medical facilities. shore is a 296 bed, not-for-profit acute care medical center located in somers point, atlantic county, new jersey, approximately 10 miles south of atlantic city, new jersey. shore is licensed and approved by the state of new jersey to operate as a general acute care hospital providing both inpatient and outpatient services to the community. founded in 1928 and chartered in 1940 as a not-for-profit corporation, shore serves the healthcare needs of both the year-round and summer residents of atlantic and cape may counties, as well as visitors from other communities and states. in september of 2011 shore officially unveiled its new name, shore medical center. this name change was chosen to better reflect the evolving nature of healthcare at shore, defining the continuum of quality care, advanced medical technology and exceptional service shore provides to the residents of the south jersey region. shore has undergone more than fourteen major construction and renovation projects since 1940 to provide necessary facilities and services for its expanding patient population. in 2011 shore completed and opened a four-story 135,000 square foot surgical and outpatient services pavilion to meet the growing needs of the community. the board of trustees and staff of the medical center took great pride in pursuing this endeavor during the worst economic climate seen since the great depression, as it resulted in competitive rates for labor and materials and financing. the pavilion - which includes state-of-the-art operating suites, cardiovascular imaging services, endoscopy services and infusion therapy suites - positions shore as the region's leading surgical provider and benefits the residents of atlantic and cape may counties. shore engages the talents and teamwork of the best and brightest people in the industry. our team of physicians, nurses, technologists, managers, financial experts, board of trustees and our affiliates in philadelphia all work together to ensure that the community has access to the best healthcare resources when needed. and the community has responded positively to our approach to healthcare delivery. independent market research by the melior group confirms that shore is the preferred medical center among atlantic and cape may county residents. the community has voiced their vote of confidence in shore and the medical center will continue to earn the community's trust as the leading healthcare provider in the region. the professional community has also taken notice of shore. shore has been accredited by the joint commission-the nation's predominant standards-setting and accrediting body in healthcare- as a primary stroke center. shore was also certified by the joint commission for its lumbar and cervical spine surgery programs in recognition of the medical center's strict adherence to quality standards. shore was also named one of the top performing hospitals in the country by the joint commission in four key quality measures - heart attack, heart failure pneumonia and surgical care. in 2011 shore also opened its new pediatric care center, the first its kind in the state of new jersey. the facility features advanced pediatric emergency and inpatient care in a facility designed to be kid friendly and family centric. shore also has physicians and neonatologists from the children's hospital of philaedelphia (chop) on staff 24/7, 365 days a year to support our young patients. in 2011 shore was recognized by horizon blue cross blue shield of new jersey for its commitment to quality improvement initiatives and providing the best patient care as part of horizon's leapfrog hospital recognition program. in 2011, more than 10,700 patients were admitted to the medical center, and more than 44,000 were treated in shore's emergency department. the medical center's obstetrical clinic provided treatment for 3,953 expectant mothers who are underinsured or uninsured. community focused education ============================ since april of 1992 the medical center has produced its own television show. health today from shore medical center is a community-focused 30 minute health information television show. it is produced in cooperation with the local nbc affiliate nbc 40 and brings healthcare issues as discussed by shore physicians, nurses and other experts into the homes of viewers each week. the shows also feature a wellness segment and special reports on technology and have touched every part of the hospital from sterile processing to the emergency room, physical therapy, diagnostic imaging, laboratory services and more. in over 300 shows, more than 1,000 topics have been discussed and viewers have been taken inside the operating room to watch actual surgeries including a craniotomy, spine surgery, c-section and joint replacement. shore's wellness program has been an integral part of the community, offering health education and screenings for more than 20 years. in 2011 thousands of local residents participated in clinical encounters, including more than 500 blood pressures and more than 1,000 additional health screenings such as vascular and glucose screenings.\n\nShore is the lead agency for the nj cancer education and early detection (ceed) program for atlantic county, providing cancer screening services at convenient locations within the communities we serve. shore coordinated 380 breast cancer screenings, 908 cervical cancer screenings, 50 colorectal screenings and 66 prostate screenings for the underserved population. in 2011, shore memorial received $463,874 in ceed grant funding for these screenings. shore is also lead agency for the atlantic county healthy living coalition to provide outreach and education in which shore received $12,454 for these outreach activities, in 2011. 2,512 individuals attended educational workshops or lectures and 862 individuals attended special community events. additionally, the shore cancer center offered 15 community outreach events in 2011, during which more than 1,568 people in the community were provided with education about cancer prevention and early detection. childbirth education, breast feeding, sibling preparation and other programs to welcome a newborn into the family are offered to the entire community. shore's website provides information on medical center programs, services, and physicians. it also offers educational videos, health-focused articles and assessments. shore's physician finder service is free and available on the internet and through a call center. the service matches a caller's needs such as specialty, location, insurance and office hours to a shore physician. uncompensated care ================== shore has long been a regional leader in meeting its commitment to the medically underserved members of the community. in addition to its community outreach programs and obstetrical clinic, the medical center provides substantial amounts of uncompensated care to those least able to pay for these services. in keeping with its mission to care for patients, the medical center serves all without regard to ability to pay. in 2011 shore spent approximately $10.6 million at cost for medical services delivered to these patients. the hospital only received a state subsidy of approximately $1,041,052 to offset this amount. shore recognizes the financial difficulty imposed on the self-pay patient who is least able to afford to pay for healthcare services when billed at the medical center's standard charges. therefore the medical center established an innovative policy to address the disparity between hospital-billed charges and the actual cost of providing care to the self-pay patient or under-insured patient. the method adopted is based upon sound accounting principles to determine the actual cost of providing care to patients using a known standard developed for the medicare cost report. the policy is to apply the most current hospital specific medicare cost to charge ratio to the self-pay patient's total charge balance and adjust the bill to cost. this adjustment is limited only to those patients not covered by insurance. this ratio is subject to change as determined by the medicare fiscal intermediary. patients unable to pay the cost adjusted bill in full are permitted to enter into a hospital-approved payment arrangement. payment arrangements are determined based upon the financial condition of the patient and paid over time using our existing payment arrangement methodology. as a non-profit healthcare provider, it is shore's responsibility to deliver high-quality healthcare regardless of the patient's ability to pay. in 2011, the medical center provided more than $15 million in uncompensated care, which includes $5.1 million in bad debt. shore is committed to the community that it serves. the challenge of meeting the high costs of providing quality health services is made possible through the dedication of physicians, staff and volunteers. affiliations ============ shore continues to be the only hospital in the region to offer patients a clinical affiliation with both the world-renowned university of pennsylvania health system (uphs)-also known as penn medicine - and the children's hospital of philadelphia (chop) care network. this gives shore physicians and their

regardless of race, color, creed, sex, national origin or ability to pay. Please refer to schedule o for the organization's community benefit statement.\n\nShore memorial health system is a not for-profit holding company based in somers point, new jersey. Shore memorial health system, inc. Is the sole corporate member of various not for-profit entities. The internal revenue service has recognized shore memorial health system, inc. As being a tax-exempt organization under internal revenue code section 501(c)(3). As the parent organization of a tax-exempt integrated healthcare delivery system, shore memorial health system strives to continually develop and operate an integrated healthcare delivery system which provides a comprehensive spectrum of medically necessary healthcare services to the residents of new jersey and surrounding community. Shore memorial health system ensures that its system provides medically necessary healthcare services to all individuals regardless of race, color, creed, sex, national origin or ability to pay. Shore memorial health system is the sole corporate member of shore medical center (\"medical center\"), a nationally accredited 296-bed acute care hospital providing comprehensive emergency, medical/surgical and rehabilitative services to southern new jersey residents. Background ========== shore medical center (\"the medical center\") is a general medical and surgical hospital recognized by the irs as an internal revenue code section 501(c) (3) tax-exempt organization. Pursuant to its charitable purposes, shore provides medically necessary healthcare services to all individuals in a non-discriminatory manner regardless of race, color, creed, sex, national origin, or ability to pay. Moreover, the medical center operates consistently with the following criteria outlined in irs revenue ruling 69-545: 1) the medical center provides medically necessary healthcare services to all individuals regardless of ability to pay, including charity care, self-pay, medicare and medicaid patients; 2) the medical center operates an active emergency department for all persons; which is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days per year; 3) the medical center maintains an open medical staff, with privileges available to all qualified physicians; 4) control of the medical center rests with its board of trustees; which is comprised of independent civic leaders and other prominent members of the community; and 5) surplus funds are used to improve the quality of patient care, expand and renovate facilities and advance medical care; programs and activities. The operations of the medical center, as shown through the factors outlined above and other information contained herein, clearly demonstrate that the medical center provides substantial community benefit and that the use and control of shore is for the benefit of the public and that no part of the income or net earnings of the organization inures to the benefit of any private individual nor is any private interest being served other than incidentally. Mission statement ================= we care for and respect all patients, their families and each other. Organization overview ===================== the medical center is a not-for-profit healthcare resource that has served southern new jersey for more than 75 years. In that time, the medical center has become known for providing a compassionate level of service that goes hand in hand with its advanced technology and modern medical facilities. The medical center is a 199 bed, not-for-profit acute care medical center located in somers point, atlantic county, new jersey, approximately 10 miles south of atlantic city, new jersey. The medical center is licensed and approved by the state of new jersey to operate as a general acute care hospital providing both inpatient and outpatient services to the community. Founded in 1928 and chartered in 1940 as a not-for-profit corporation, the medical center serves the healthcare needs of both the year-round and summer residents of atlantic and cape may counties, as well as visitors from other communities and states. The medical center has undergone more than fourteen major construction and renovation projects since 1940 to provide necessary facilities and services for its expanding patient population. In 2013, the medical center unveiled a new state-of-the-art medical oncology suite on the third floor of its freestanding cancer center. The 3,600 square foot expansion features eight spacious infusion therapy bays, three exam rooms, a family waiting room, nutrition center and a fully equipped and stocked pharmacy with a full-time oncology pharmacist. The medical center engages the talents and teamwork of the best and brightest people in the industry. Our team of physicians, nurses, technologists, managers, financial experts, board of trustees and our affiliates all work together to ensure that the community has access to the best healthcare resources when needed. The medical center continues to be accredited by the joint commission, the nation's predominant standards setting and accrediting body in healthcare, as a primary stroke center. Shore also is also certified by the joint commission for its spine surgery and hip and knee replacement programs in recognition of the medical center's strict adherence to quality standards. In 2017, the medical center received the following honors for its quality and safety measures: - received reaccreditation from the joint commission - received redesignation from the planetree organization - leapfrog group hospital safety score of \"a\" for spring and fall 2017, for a total of 7 \"a\" ratings in a row - no hospital acquired condition program payment reduction - zero early elective deliveries in 2017, more than 8,890 patients were admitted to the medical center, and approximately 41,659 were treated in shore's emergency department. Community focused education =========================== the medical center's wellness program has been an integral part of the community, offering health education and screenings for more than 20 years. In 2017 thousands of local residents participated in clinical encounters, including approximately 1,500 cardiac and stroke risk assessments, glucose and cholesterol screenings and sleep and balance disorder assessments. Shore conducted these screenings and educational opportunities in upper township, somers point, ocean city, pleasantville, atlantic city, egg harbor township, margate, and ventnor. In the summer of 2017, shore introduced a weekly farmers market which included one table with a weekly appearance by a shore dietitian and a rotating department table, which included education information on diagnostic imaging, summer medical emergencies and first aid, cardiac risk assessments, stroke risk assessments, and much more. Approximately 1,000 additional people were reached through this wellness offering throughout the summer. In 2017, we also continued to grow the center for family caregivers, which opened in late 2016 as a free resource for people who were suddenly in the position of caring for a loved one at home. The center is housed at shore medical center, but is open to the entire community. Shore is the lead agency for the new jersey cancer education and early detection (ceed) program in atlantic county. The program provides cancer screening services for the underserved populations at convenient locations within the community. Shore coordinated 754 breast cancer screenings including 423 mammograms. In addition 564 cervical cancer screenings, 82 colorectal screenings and 26 prostate screenings were completed. In 2017, shore medical center received $398,278 in ceed grant funding for these screenings and matched $25,334. Shore is also lead agency for the comprehensive cancer control (ccc) coalitions to provide policy, environmental and system changes in atlantic and cape may county in an effort to reduce cancer. In 2017, shore medical center received $123,374 for these initiatives. In 2017, 2,070 individuals were part of the education and outreach conducted through ceed and ccc through awareness events, workshops or lectures. Childbirth education, breast feeding support and other programs to welcome a newborn into the family are offered to the entire community. The medical center's website provides information on medical center programs, services and physicians. It also offers educational videos, health-focused articles and assessments. The medical center's physician finder service is free and available on the internet. The service matches a person's needs such as specialty, location, insurance and office hours to a shore medical staff physician.\n\nShore also engaged in an aggressive facebook campaign to share the news of the hospital as well as a variety of health related information. Shore continued to send out shore healthy living, a monthly free digital magazine that focuses on educating readers about health topics of broad interest. Doctors, nurses, and clinical experts from shore are quoted in each issue. The magazine is distributed to approximately 20,000 patients and community members. This year we also introduced three new resources to help people in need of support: 1. Veterans affairs navigator program: guides veterans through the process of seeking va medical care and helps them overcome barriers they may encounter, demystifying the process and helping them take full advantage of their healthcare opportunities. 2. Alzheimer's association's caregiver support group: designed to provide emotional, educational and social support for caregivers through regularly scheduled meetings. They help participants develop methods and skills to solve problems. The groups encourage caregivers to maintain their own personal, physical and emotional health, as well as optimally care for the person with dementia. The support group at shore is held the second tuesday of every month. 3. Family caregiver support group: these monthly meetings provide emotional, educational and social support for family caregivers in need of assistance and support as they manage the often daunting role of family caregiver for a loved one at home after they are discharged. Shore medical center, in partnership with cape regional medical center and inspira health network continued to be a part of a health information exchange called nj shine. This health information exchange is comprised of a physician portal and a patient portal. The patient portal is designed to help improve the healthcare for patients through the real-time sharing of medical information. Patients can view test results, reports, medications and other healthcare information on services provided by shore medical center, inspira and cape regional quickly and efficiently. This greatly impacts a patient's continuity of care by providing timely access to healthcare information, avoiding unnecessary lab tests or prescribing medications that might interact with other medications the patient is on. The physician portal and patient portal can be accessed at www.shoremedicalcenter.org. Uncompensated care ================== the medical center has long been a regional leader in meeting its commitment to the medically underserved members of the community. In addition to its community outreach programs, the medical center provides substantial amounts of uncompensated care to those least able to pay for these services. In keeping with its mission to care for patients, the medical center serves all without regard to ability to pay. In 2017 the medical center spent approximately $1,631,860 at cost for medical services delivered to these patients. The medical center only received a state subsidy of approximately $90,010 to offset this amount. The medical center recognizes the financial difficulty imposed on the self-pay patient who is least able to afford to pay for healthcare services when billed at the medical center's standard charges. Therefore the medical center established an innovative policy to address the disparity between hospital-billed charges and the actual cost of providing care to the self-pay patient or under-insured patient. The method adopted is based upon sound accounting principles to determine the actual cost of providing care to patients using a known standard developed for the medicare cost report. The policy is to apply the most current hospital specific medicare cost to charge ratio to the self-pay patient's total charge balance and adjust the bill to cost. This adjustment is limited only to those patients not covered by insurance. This ratio is subject to change as determined by the medicare fiscal intermediary. Patients unable to pay the cost adjusted bill in full are permitted to enter into a hospital-approved payment arrangement. Payment arrangements are determined based upon the financial condition of the patient and paid over time using our existing payment arrangement methodology. As a non-profit healthcare provider, it is the medical center's responsibility to deliver high-quality healthcare regardless of the patient's ability to pay. The medical center is committed to the community that it serves. The challenge of meeting the high costs of providing quality health services is made possible through the dedication of physicians, staff and volunteers.

Spirit of shore: a planetree initiative ======================================= hospitals are busy places, but the staff at the medical center is never too busy to pay attention to the thoughtful gestures and kind acts that can make a meaningful difference to patients and their family members. This philosophy is the driving force behind the spirit of shore initiative at the medical center. The spirit of shore reflects the culture of caring that is unique to shore. This culture is further evident in the medical center's affiliation with planetree, a global non-profit organization that promotes patient-centered care in healing environments. The medical center is the first and only hospital in new jersey to be awarded the prestigious planetree designation, recognizing the medical center's commitment to patient-centered care. There is a dedicated planetree resource room within the surgical pavilion, which gives patients and visitors a location where they can do research or enjoy some quiet time. Since the implementation of its spirit of shore program in 2008, the medical center has been on a journey to create and nurture an institutional culture of patient-centered clinical, emotional and spiritual care for its patients, their families and staff. Initiatives touch every corner of the medical center's community, promoting an environment where everyone is a caregiver, regardless of their position within the organization.

Volunteers sit with patients and offer solace through meditation, music, poems or simply through touch. The medical center's patient and family advisory council is made up of former shore patients and family members, community members and volunteers. Group members share stories, provide valuable feedback on their hospital experiences and assist leadership in decision making by incorporating their experiences into shore's philosophy and operation. The medical center staff members also use these meetings to educate the council about the medical center and healthcare issues in general. One of the initiatives that came about as a result of our commitment to providing patient-centered care was the relocation of our outpatient rehabilitation services in 2017 from the 4th floor of the hospital to a more convenient and accessible location offsite. These services include outpatient cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation as well as physical, occupational, speech and vestibular therapy.

Background ========== Shore Medical Center (\"the medical center\") is a general medical and surgical hospital recognized by the IRS as an internal revenue code section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Pursuant to its charitable purposes, Shore provides medically necessary healthcare services to all individuals in a non-discriminatory manner regardless of race, color, creed, sex, national origin, or ability to pay. Moreover, the medical center operates consistently with the following criteria outlined in IRS revenue ruling 69-545: 1) The medical center provides medically necessary healthcare services to all individuals regardless of ability to pay, including charity care, self-pay, Medicare and Medicaid patients; 2) The medical center operates an active emergency department for all persons; which is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days per year; 3) The medical center maintains an open medical staff, with privileges available to all qualified physicians; 4) Control of the medical center rests with its board of trustees; which is comprised of independent civic leaders and other prominent members of the community; and 5) Surplus funds are used to improve the quality of patient care, expand and renovate facilities and advance medical care; programs and activities. The operations of the medical center, as shown through the factors outlined above and other information contained herein, clearly demonstrate that the medical center provides substantial community benefit and that the use and control of Shore is for the benefit of the public and that no part of the income or net earnings of the organization inures to the benefit of any private individual nor is any private interest being served other than incidentally. Mission Statement ================= We care for and respect all patients, their families and each other. Organization Overview ===================== The medical center is a not-for-profit healthcare resource that has served southern New Jersey for more than 70 years. In that time, the medical center has become known for providing a compassionate level of service that goes hand in hand with its advanced technology and modern medical facilities. The medical center is a 296 bed, not-for-profit acute care medical center located in Somers Point, Atlantic County, New Jersey, approximately 10 miles south of Atlantic City, New Jersey. The medical center is licensed and approved by the state of New Jersey to operate as a general acute care hospital providing both inpatient and outpatient services to the community. Founded in 1928 and chartered in 1940 as a not-for-profit corporation, the medical center serves the healthcare needs of both the year-round and summer residents of Atlantic and Cape May counties, as well as visitors from other communities and states. The medical center has undergone more than fourteen major construction and renovation projects since 1940 to provide necessary facilities and services for its expanding patient population. In 2013, the medical center unveiled a new state-of-the-art medical oncology suite on the third floor of its freestanding cancer center. The 3,600 square foot expansion features eight spacious infusion therapy bays, three exam rooms, a family waiting room, nutrition center and a fully equipped and stocked pharmacy with a full-time oncology pharmacist. The medical center engages the talents and teamwork of the best and brightest people in the industry. Our team of physicians, nurses, technologists, managers, financial experts, board of trustees and our affiliates all work together to ensure that the community has access to the best healthcare resources when needed. The medical center continues to be accredited by the Joint Commission, the nation's predominant standards setting and accrediting body in healthcare, as a primary stroke center. Shore also is also certified by the Joint Commission for its spine surgery and hip and knee replacement programs in recognition of the medical center's strict adherence to quality standards. In 2016, the medical center received the following honors for its quality and safety measures: - The Joint Commission survey outcome exceeds expectation for hospital; - Leapfrog hospital safety score \"A\" concurrently for 5 cycles; - Named a top hospital in the nation for quality and safety by The Leapfrog Group; - Horizons Leapfrog Hospital Recognition Program achievement; - No hospital acquired condition reduction program payment reduction; - Pneumonia core measure 2015 - 100% and 2016 98%; AND - Heart failure core measure 2015 - 99.5% and 2016 100%. In 2016, more than 8,750 patients were admitted to the medical center, and approximately 41,943 were treated in Shore's emergency department. Community Focused Education =========================== The medical center's wellness program has been an integral part of the community, offering health education and screenings for more than 20 years. In 2016, thousands of local residents participated in clinical encounters, including approximately 500 blood pressure screenings and more than 1,000 participants in additional health screenings such as glucose and cholesterol screenings. Shore conducted these screenings and educational opportunities in Upper Township, Somers Point, Ocean City, and Pleasantville. In October 2016, Shore debuted its community farmers market which included booths containing information on healthy eating, wellness and health education. Shore is the lead agency for the New Jersey Cancer Education and Early Detection (\"CEED\") program in Atlantic county. The program provides cancer screening services at convenient locations within the communities we serve. Shore coordinated 617 clinical breast exams, 440 mammograms, 629 cervical cancer screenings, 102 colorectal screenings and 33 prostate screenings for the underserved population. In 2016, Shore Medical Center received $365,880 in CEED grant funding for these screenings and matched $20,111. Shore is also lead agency for the Comprehensive Cancer Control (\"CCC\") coalitions to provide policy, environmental and system changes in Atlantic and Cape May County in an effort to reduce cancer. In 2016, Shore Medical Center received $129,994 for these initiatives. 1,976 individuals were part of the education and outreach conducted through CEED and CCC through awareness events, workshops or lectures. Childbirth education, breast feeding, sibling preparation and other programs to welcome a newborn into the family are offered to the entire community. The medical center's website provides information on medical center programs, services and physicians. It also offers educational videos, health-focused articles and assessments. The medical center's physician finder service is free and available on the internet. The service matches a person's needs such as specialty, location, insurance and office hours to a Shore medical staff physician. Shore also engaged in an aggressive Facebook campaign to share the news of the hospital as well as a variety of health related information. In June 2016, Shore published its first issue of Shore Healthy Living, a monthly free digital magazine that focuses on educating readers about trending health topics. Doctors, nurses, and clinical experts are quoted in each issue. The magazine is distributed to 20,000 patients and community members.\n\nShore Medical Center, in partnership with Cape Regional Medical Center and Inspira Health Network continued to be a part of a health information exchange called NJ Shine. This health information exchange is comprised of a physician portal and a patient portal. The patient portal is designed to help improve the healthcare for patients through the real-time sharing of medical information. Patients can view test results, reports, medications and other healthcare information on services provided by Shore Medical Center, Inspira and Cape Regional quickly and efficiently. This greatly impacts a patient's continuity of care by providing timely access to healthcare information, avoiding unnecessary lab tests or prescribing medications that might interact with other medications the patient is on. The physician portal and patient portal can be accessed at www.shoremedicalcenter.org. Uncompensated Care ================== The medical center has long been a regional leader in meeting its commitment to the medically underserved members of the community. In addition to its community outreach programs, the medical center provides substantial amounts of uncompensated care to those least able to pay for these services. In keeping with its mission to care for patients, the medical center serves all without regard to ability to pay. In 2016 the medical center spent approximately $12.9 million at cost for medical services delivered to these patients. The medical center only received a state subsidy of approximately $82,000 to offset this amount. The medical center recognizes the financial difficulty imposed on the self-pay patient who is least able to afford to pay for healthcare services when billed at the medical center's standard charges. Therefore the medical center established an innovative policy to address the disparity between hospital-billed charges and the actual cost of providing care to the self-pay patient or under-insured patient. The method adopted is based upon sound accounting principles to determine the actual cost of providing care to patients using a known standard developed for the Medicare cost report. The policy is to apply the most current hospital specific Medicare cost to charge ratio to the self-pay patient's total charge balance and adjust the bill to cost. This adjustment is limited only to those patients not covered by insurance. This ratio is subject to change as determined by the Medicare fiscal intermediary. Patients unable to pay the cost adjusted bill in full are permitted to enter into a hospital-approved payment arrangement. Payment arrangements are determined based upon the financial condition of the patient and paid over time using our existing payment arrangement methodology. As a non-profit healthcare provider, it is the medical center's responsibility to deliver high-quality healthcare regardless of the patient's ability to pay. The medical center is committed to the community that it serves. The challenge of meeting the high costs of providing quality health services is made possible through the dedication of physicians, staff and volunteers. Affiliations ============ The medical center is a proud member of the Jefferson Neuroscience Network. The Shore Neuroscience Center's extraordinary high-tech diagnosis and treatment options, which are enhanced through the advanced technology found within the Shore surgical pavilion, are delivered with the caring touch expected from the medical center.

Spirit of Shore: A Planetree Initiative ======================================= Hospitals are busy places, but the staff at the medical center is never too busy to pay attention to the thoughtful gestures and kind acts that can make a meaningful difference to patients and their family members. This philosophy is the driving force behind the Spirit of Shore initiative at the medical center. The Spirit of Shore reflects the culture of caring that is unique to Shore. This culture is further evident in the medical center's affiliation with Planetree, a global non-profit organization that promotes patient-centered care in healing environments.\n\nThe medical center is the first and only hospital in New Jersey to be awarded the prestigious Planetree designation, recognizing the medical center's commitment to patient-centered care. There is a dedicated Planetree resource room within the surgical pavilion, which gives patients and visitors a location where they can do research or enjoy some quiet time.

Shore conducted these screenings and educational opportunities in the following new jersey locations: upper township, somers point, ocean city, pleasantville, atlantic city, egg harbor township, margate and ventnor. In 2018, we also continued to grow the center for family caregivers, which opened in late 2016 as a free resource for people who were suddenly in the position of caring for a loved one at home. The center is housed at shore medical center, but is open to the entire community. Shore is the lead agency for the new jersey cancer education and early detection (ceed) program in atlantic county. The program provides cancer screening services for the underserved populations at convenient locations within the community. Shore coordinated 599 breast cancer screenings including 296 mammograms.

Uncompensated care ================== the medical center has long been a regional leader in meeting its commitment to the medically underserved members of the community. In addition to its community outreach programs, the medical center provides substantial amounts of uncompensated care to those least able to pay for these services. In keeping with its mission to care for patients, the medical center serves all without regard to ability to pay. In 2018 the medical center spent approximately $1.3m at cost for medical services delivered to these patients. The medical center only received a state subsidy of approximately $140,358 to offset this amount. The medical center recognizes the financial difficulty imposed on the self-pay patient who is least able to afford to pay for healthcare services when billed at the medical center's standard charges. Therefore, the medical center established an innovative policy to address the disparity between hospital-billed charges and the actual cost of providing care to the self-pay patient or under-insured patient. The method adopted is based upon sound accounting principles to determine the actual cost of providing care to patients using a known standard developed for the medicare cost report. The policy is to apply the most current hospital specific medicare cost to charge ratio to the self-pay patient's total charge balance and adjust the bill to cost. This adjustment is limited only to those patients not covered by insurance. This ratio is subject to change as determined by the medicare fiscal intermediary. Patients unable to pay the cost adjusted bill in full are permitted to enter into a hospital-approved payment arrangement. Payment arrangements are determined based upon the financial condition of the patient and paid over time using our existing payment arrangement methodology. As a non-profit healthcare provider, it is the medical center's responsibility to deliver high-quality healthcare regardless of the patient's ability to pay. The medical center is committed to the community that it serves. The challenge of meeting the high costs of providing quality health services is made possible through the dedication of physicians, staff and volunteers.

In 2020, the medical center received the following honors for its quality and safety measures: - leapfrog group hospital safety score of \"a\" for spring 2020, for a total of 12 \"a\" ratings in a row - no hospital acquired condition program payment reduction - zero early elective deliveries - successful joint commission surveys for hip and knee replacement, spine surgery, and primary stroke certification in 2020, 7337 patients were admitted to the medical center and 2,203 placed in observation. There were 33,529 patients treated in shore's emergency department. Impact of covid-19 pandemic --------------------------- in march 2020, the world health organization declared covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, a pandemic, which started to and continues to spread throughout the united states of america. As a result of the covid-19 pandemic, the system experienced a decline in patient visits, admissions, and medical procedures performed. Elective medical procedures were suspended by state and local governments at varying time periods beginning in mid-march through late may 2020, contributing to a significant decline in patient service revenue due to covid-19 when compared to historic and forecasted results for that period. Additionally, in response to the pandemic, the system incurred additional costs for testing, personal protective equipment, third-party contract services and other operating costs associated with ensuring employee and patient safety while operating during a pandemic. Since late may, the system has begun to see increases in its patient visits, admissions, and medical procedures, however, volumes have not returned to pre-pandemic levels. Community benefit ================= the medical center's wellness program has been an integral part of the community, offering health education and screenings for more than 20 years. However, like most community hospitals in 2020 covid greatly limited shore's ability to have any in-person events or provide screenings at community events and health fairs after march 1, 2020. With covid as the primary focus for much of 2020 and concerns about spreading the virus with in-person events, we shifted our community education to covid-related outreach. Prior to covid, shore hosted the following education events in 2020: - january 2020: wellness to well-being: infection prevention and you - our monthly in-person education event featured our infection prevention manager who spoke to the group of 20 about how to prevent illness especially during the winter months. - january & february 2020: free healing touch sessions, led by a healing touch practitioner, 15 people. - february 2020: heart and vascular health education event with 80 guests. - february 2020: wellness to well-being: CPR & AED awareness, our monthly in-person event featured director of cardiac rehab chris kozmor who demonstrated how to use an AED and perform CPR to help raise awareness and help guests feel more confident in helping in a medical emergency.\n\nCovid-related community benefit ------------------------------- the majority of community education and outreach in 2020 was related to covid, especially in the early phase of the pandemic to meet the public's need for the most current information about the virus and how to protect them against covid while still getting the medical care they need. Since information about covid was constantly changing, we embedded the cdc's covid guidelines in our website to ensure visitors to our site received the most current information. During the first few months of the covid pandemic, shore medical center's facebook audience grew by more than 1,500 people, an indication the public was looking to their local hospital for guidance and information. We utilized facebook regularly to share safe covid practices; communicate the status of canceled elective procedures and visitor hours; share information from the nj dept. Of health and publicize their covid hotline; and to celebrate the important work of our frontline heroes and give the community confidence in getting care at their community hospital. Later, we recorded four videos featuring our leading emergency medical providers explaining the safety protocols in the hospital and urging people that it is safe to come to the medical center for emergency care. Shore medical center collaborated with our nearest hospital neighbors, atlanticare and cape regional medical center, to produce five op-ed pieces in our local newspapers signed by each hospital's ceo to help inspire confidence in their local health systems; to urge safe covid behavior to reduce serious illness and death; how people should not delay care and that hospitals are safe; how getting flu shots during covid is especially important; and an uplifting article during the holidays about hope with the approval of covid vaccines.

In addition shore's infection prevention team worked tirelessly to remain on top of cdc guidelines and regularly rounded the hospital to train staff, answer questions and ensure safe practices. The hospital implemented numerous covid-related policies and procedures. Examples include: - worked with lab to establish a process for collecting specimens based on the nj doh surveillance criteria and testing for covid. - updated the hospital's policy on \"isolation and standard precautions, hand hygiene, respiratory hygiene, management of multi-drug resistant organisms, and mrsa screening.\" - tip sheets created for head coverings, patient isolation masking, ppe use and how to store n95s and face shields, and guidance for donning and doffing yellow isolation gowns. Finally, shore's pharmacy team led the charge to get shore employees vaccinated against covid-19, beginning in november 2020 with extensive training on the nj vaccine registry and to obtain the material needed to properly store and monitor vaccine conditions. Additional man hours were needed to order, store, distribute and administer the vaccine, as well as get people scheduled and then re-scheduled for the booster. They also needed to collect, collate and upload data from each clinic as well. The pharmacy team also educated the public about the vaccine, potential immune response, what to do if they had covid, and if they were immunocompromised. Cancer outreach --------------- shore is the lead agency for the new jersey cancer education and early detection (ceed) program in atlantic county. The program provides cancer screening services for the underserved populations at convenient locations within the community. Shore coordinated 312 breast cancer screenings including 154 mammograms. In addition, 232 cervical cancer screenings and 10 colonoscopies were completed. In 2020, shore medical center received $284,816 in ceed grant funding for these screenings. Shore is also lead agency for the comprehensive cancer control (ccc) coalitions to provide policy, environmental and system changes in atlantic and cape may county in an effort to reduce cancer. In 2020, shore medical center received $81,894 for these initiatives. In 2020, 142 individuals were part of the education and outreach conducted through ceed and ccc through awareness events, workshops or lectures before community outreach was discontinued due to covid in march of 2020. Outreach projects were changed to mailings, radio interviews, etc. Approximately twelve thousand listeners were educated about screening through radio opportunities. Additionally, screening events took place instead of traditional outreach because these events could be made covid safe. Ten men were screened through a prostate screening event and thirty uninsured women were screened through a breast event. Other outreach -------------- childbirth education, breast feeding support and other programs to welcome a newborn into the family are offered to the entire community through the shore beginnings prenatal and wellness program. These activities were limited in 2020 as a result of covid. The medical center's website provides information on medical center programs, services and physicians. It also offers educational videos, health-focused articles and assessments. The medical center's physician finder service is free and available on the internet. The service matches a person's needs such as specialty, location, insurance and office hours to a shore medical staff physician. Support groups -------------- shore's veterans affairs navigator program, alzheimer's association caregiver support group and the family caregiver support group continued into 2020, providing support to patients and families, however during the peak of the pandemic these initiatives were paused. 1. Veterans affairs navigator program: guides veterans through the process of seeking va medical care and helps them overcome barriers they may encounter, demystifying the process and helping them take full advantage of their healthcare opportunities. 2. Alzheimer's association's caregiver support group: designed to provide emotional, educational and social support for caregivers through regularly scheduled meetings. They help participants develop methods and skills to solve problems. The groups encourage caregivers to maintain their own personal, physical and emotional health, as well as optimally care for the person with dementia. The support group at shore is held the second tuesday of every month. 3. Family caregiver support group: these monthly meetings provide emotional, educational and social support for family caregivers in need of assistance and support as they manage the often-daunting role of family caregiver for a loved one at home after they are discharged. In addition to these support groups, shore has been very proactive in assisting patients with alzheimer's disease and dementia, working with the alzheimer's association of america and the purple angel project on educational and awareness issues.\n\nCommunity programs and medical screenings ----------------------------------------- while covid greatly limited our ability to provide in-person programs and screenings, we were able to provide the following: 1. Shore speakers bureau - a free program where shore healthcare specialists and educators provide screenings, give presentations and provide question and answer sessions for community groups who request them. 2. Cancer screenings for the uninsured funded by the nj ceed/occp grant. - breast; - cervical; - colorectal; and - prostate; 3. Mammograms - free mammogram event on 10-24-20 4. Prostate screening - free prostate screening event on 9-25-20 please note that the aforementioned list of medical screening programs is not an all-inclusive list. Lectures and seminars --------------------- in typical years, the medical center provides numerous lectures, seminars and other educational programs to the community in furtherance of its tax-exempt purposes, including the following: 1. Be well connected events. Health education breakfast events feature physicians and clinical staff presenting to audiences ranging from 50-125 people. 2. Shore beginnings: prenatal and wellness - lamaze-inspired childbirth classes; - breastfeeding your baby - maternal child health community outreach 3. Adult support groups: - family caregiver support group - alzheimer's association caregiver support group 4. Free surgical education programs (neck & spine surgery, joint replacement education) 5. Wellness to wellbeing events. Shore medical centers' prior \"senior social\" program evolved into its current \"wellness to wellbeing\" program to expand its audience. The community is invited on the third wednesday of each month to attend free social and educational events at the medical center. These events feature free bingo for prizes, complimentary refreshments, and an educational session hosted by a health expert from the medical center or a community partner. Because of covid, only three were held in 2020. Giving back to the community ---------------------------- shore staff continued its annual tradition of providing gifts at the holidays to residents of the linwood care center. More than 100 residents benefited from their generosity. While this year most of these efforts were put on hold due to covid, we typically support the following events: - american heart association heart walk; - walk for the wounded; - the somers point memorial day parade; - alzheimer's association of america walk to end alzheimers - somers point bayfest and good old days festival; - residents of linwood care center through an annual holiday gift drive - south jersey jazz society, and much more. The medical center also typically provides health screenings at these events and other community health fairs at 55 and over communities, fitness centers and some of our area's larger employers. Additionally, the medical center employees generously contributed $ 4,598 to the united way of greater philadelphia and southern new jersey in 2020. Uncompensated care ------------------ the medical center has long been a regional leader in meeting its commitment to the medically underserved members of the community. In addition to its community outreach programs, the medical center provides substantial amounts of uncompensated care to those least able to pay for these services. In keeping with its mission to care for patients, the medical center serves all without regard to ability to pay. In 2020, the medical center spent approximately $1.2 million at cost for medical services delivered to these patients. The medical center only received a state subsidy of approximately $114,409 to offset this amount. The medical center recognizes the financial difficulty imposed on the self-pay patient who is least able to afford to pay for healthcare services when billed at the medical center's standard charges. Therefore, the medical center established an innovative policy to address the disparity between hospital-billed charges and the actual cost of providing care to the self-pay patient or under-insured patient. The method adopted is based upon sound accounting principles to determine the actual cost of providing care to patients using a known standard developed for the medicare cost report. The policy is to apply the most current hospital specific medicare cost to charge ratio to the self-pay patient's total charge balance and adjust the bill to cost. This adjustment is limited only to those patients not covered by insurance. This ratio is subject to change as determined by the medicare fiscal intermediary. Patients unable to pay the cost adjusted bill in full are permitted to enter into a hospital-approved payment arrangement. Payment arrangements are determined based upon the financial condition of the patient and paid over time using our existing payment arrangement methodology. As a non-profit healthcare provider, it is the medical center's responsibility to deliver high-quality healthcare regardless of the patient's ability to pay. The medical center is committed to the community that it serves. The challenge of meeting the high costs of providing quality health services is made possible through the dedication of physicians, staff and volunteers. Spirit of shore =============== hospitals are busy places, but the staff at the medical center is never too busy to pay attention to the thoughtful gestures and kind acts that can make a meaningful difference to patients and their family members. This philosophy is the driving force behind the spirit of shore initiative at the medical center. The spirit of shore reflects the culture of caring that is unique to shore. Since the implementation of its spirit of shore program in 2008, the medical center has been on a journey to create and nurture an institutional culture of patient-centered clinical, emotional and spiritual care for its patients, their families and staff. Initiatives touch every corner of the medical center's community, promoting an environment where everyone is a caregiver, regardless of their position within the organization. Our many programs and initiatives include, but are not limited to, the following: - shared medical records; - comfortable family lounges; - patient directed visitation; - hourly rounds; - leadership rounds; - bedside report; - e-icu; - no passing zone; - motorized scooters for patients; - community education; and - weekly prayer circles. The medical center's no one dies alone program is a volunteer program that provides companions for patients near death who do not have any family or close friends to be with them in their final hours. Volunteers sit with patients and offer solace through meditation, music, poems or simply through touch. The medical center's patient and family advisory council is made up of former shore patients and family members, community members and volunteers. Group members share stories, provide valuable feedback on their hospital experiences and assist leadership in decision making by incorporating their experiences into shore's philosophy and operation. The medical center staff members also use these meetings to educate the council about the medical center and healthcare issues in general. Medical services ================ consistent with revenue ruling 69-545, all qualified physicians are eligible for medical staff privileges.

Maternal-fetal medicine program ------------------------------- sometimes a woman needs additional expertise in the form of a maternal-fetal medicine specialist - an obstetrician who is trained in fetal medicine and high-risk pregnancies. Through our affiliation with penn medicine and renowned specialist dr. Robert debbs, d.o., the penn maternal-fetal medicine program at the medical center provides these expectant mothers with the specialized care they need. Groundbreaking pediatric care center ------------------------------------ the medical center's child-friendly pediatric care center was the first of its kind in new jersey, featuring a dedicated and separate pediatric treatment area for minor illnesses and injuries, as well as inpatient rooms. Children are seen by expert emergency department physicians in consultation with the physicians of st. Christopher's hospital for children and onsite neonatal partners. The medical center's laborist program ensures that a highly trained obstetrician-gynecologist is on site at shore 24 hours a day, seven days a week to assist patients in labor until their own physician arrives. The laborist program features seven skilled laborists who rotate to assist with gynecological emergencies, inpatient consultations, emergency c-sections and other needs. Thanks to the laborist program, births at shore are on the rise, and we've seen a significant reduction in the hospital's c-section rates. In fall 2019, shore began working with the atlantic county special services school district to develop a sensory friendly pediatric emergency care program designed to help children with autism have a better experience when coming to the hospital, from door to discharge. The program was expected to launch in april 2020, but was delayed to 2021 due to covid. However, in 2020 much progress was made.

The following initiatives launched in 2017 and have continued to provide many people in need with support throughout the year. 1.

Uncompensated care ================== the medical center has long been a regional leader in meeting its commitment to the medically underserved members of the community. In addition to its community outreach programs, the medical center provides substantial amounts of uncompensated care to those least able to pay for these services. In keeping with its mission to care for patients, the medical center serves all without regard to ability to pay. In 2019, the medical center spent approximately $1.3m at cost for medical services delivered to these patients. The medical center only received a state subsidy of approximately $158,000 to offset this amount. The medical center recognizes the financial difficulty imposed on the self-pay patient who is least able to afford to pay for healthcare services when billed at the medical center's standard charges. Therefore, the medical center established an innovative policy to address the disparity between hospital-billed charges and the actual cost of providing care to the self-pay patient or under-insured patient. The method adopted is based upon sound accounting principles to determine the actual cost of providing care to patients using a known standard developed for the medicare cost report. The policy is to apply the most current hospital specific medicare cost to charge ratio to the self-pay patient's total charge balance and adjust the bill to cost. This adjustment is limited only to those patients not covered by insurance. This ratio is subject to change as determined by the medicare fiscal intermediary. Patients unable to pay the cost adjusted bill in full are permitted to enter into a hospital-approved payment arrangement. Payment arrangements are determined based upon the financial condition of the patient and paid over time using our existing payment arrangement methodology. As a non-profit healthcare provider, it is the medical center's responsibility to deliver high-quality healthcare regardless of the patient's ability to pay. The medical center is committed to the community that it serves. The challenge of meeting the high costs of providing quality health services is made possible through the dedication of physicians, staff and volunteers.

Please refer to schedule o for the organization's community benefit statement.\n\nSHORE MEMORIAL HEALTH SYSTEM IS A NOT FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION BASED IN SOMERS POINT, NEW JERSEY. SHORE MEMORIAL HEALTH SYSTEM, INC. IS THE SOLE CORPORATE MEMBER OF VARIOUS RELATED ENTITIES. THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE HAS RECOGNIZED SHORE MEMORIAL HEALTH SYSTEM, INC. AS BEING A TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(C)(3). AS THE PARENT ORGANIZATION OF A TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM, SHORE MEMORIAL HEALTH SYSTEM STRIVES TO CONTINUALLY DEVELOP AND OPERATE AN INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM WHICH PROVIDES A COMPREHENSIVE SPECTRUM OF MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO THE RESIDENTS OF NEW JERSEY AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITY. SHORE MEMORIAL HEALTH SYSTEM ENSURES THAT ITS SYSTEM PROVIDES MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUALS REGARDLESS OF RACE, COLOR, CREED, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN OR ABILITY TO PAY. SHORE MEMORIAL HEALTH SYSTEM IS THE SOLE CORPORATE MEMBER OF SHORE MEDICAL CENTER (\"MEDICAL CENTER\"), A NATIONALLY ACCREDITED ACUTE CARE HOSPITAL PROVIDING COMPREHENSIVE EMERGENCY, MEDICAL/SURGICAL AND REHABILITATIVE SERVICES TO SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY RESIDENTS. Background ========== Shore Medical Center (\"the medical center\") is a general medical and surgical hospital recognized by the IRS as an internal revenue code section 501(c) (3) tax-exempt organization. Pursuant to its charitable purposes, Shore provides medically necessary healthcare services to all individuals in a non-discriminatory manner regardless of race, color, creed, sex, national origin, or ability to pay. Moreover, the medical center operates consistently with the following criteria outlined in IRS revenue ruling 69-545: 1) The medical center provides medically necessary healthcare services to all individuals regardless of ability to pay, including charity care, self-pay, Medicare and Medicaid patients; 2) The medical center operates an active emergency department for all persons; which is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days per year; 3) The medical center maintains an open medical staff, with privileges available to all qualified physicians; 4) Control of the medical center rests with its board of trustees; which is comprised of independent civic leaders and other prominent members of the community; and 5) Surplus funds are used to improve the quality of patient care, expand and renovate facilities and advance medical care; programs and activities. The operations of the medical center, as shown through the factors outlined above and other information contained herein, clearly demonstrate that the medical center provides substantial community benefit and that the use and control of Shore is for the benefit of the public and that no part of the income or net earnings of the organization inures to the benefit of any private individual nor is any private interest being served other than incidentally. Mission Statement ================= We care for and respect all patients, their families and each other. Organization Overview ===================== The medical center is a not-for-profit healthcare resource that has served southern New Jersey for more than 80 years. In that time, the medical center has become known for providing a compassionate level of service that goes hand in hand with its advanced technology and modern medical facilities. The medical center is a 203 bed, not-for-profit acute care medical center located in Somers Point, Atlantic County, New Jersey, approximately 10 miles south of Atlantic City, New Jersey. The medical center is licensed and approved by the state of New Jersey to operate as a general acute care hospital providing both inpatient and outpatient services to the community. Founded in 1928 and chartered in 1940 as a not-for-profit corporation, the medical center serves the healthcare needs of both the year-round and summer residents of Atlantic and Cape May counties, as well as visitors from other communities and states. The medical center has undergone more than fourteen major construction and renovation projects since 1940 to provide necessary facilities and services for its expanding patient population. In 2013, the medical center unveiled a new state-of-the-art medical oncology suite on the third floor of its freestanding cancer center. The 3,600 square foot expansion features eight spacious infusion therapy bays, three exam rooms, a family waiting room, nutrition center and a fully equipped and stocked pharmacy with a full-time oncology pharmacist. The medical center engages the talents and teamwork of the best and brightest people in the industry. Our team of physicians, nurses, technologists, managers, financial experts, board of trustees and our affiliates all work together to ensure that the community has access to the best healthcare resources when needed. The medical center continues to be accredited by the Joint Commission, the nation's predominant standards setting and accrediting body in healthcare, as a Primary Stroke Center. Shore also is also certified by the Joint Commission for its spine surgery and hip and knee replacement programs in recognition of the medical center's strict adherence to quality standards. In addition, Shore Medical Center is a member of Penn Medicine Teleneurology; a member of the New Jersey Health Care Quality Institute to improve the safety, quality and affordability of health care for everyone; and a member of the Penn Medicine Cancer Network.

Community Focused Education =========================== The medical center's wellness program has been an integral part of the community, offering health education and screenings for more than 20 years. Cancer Outreach --------------- Shore is the lead agency for the New Jersey Cancer Education and Early Detection (CEED) program in Atlantic County. The program provides cancer screening, diagnostic and navigation services for underserved populations at convenient locations within the community. Shore coordinated 371 breast cancer screenings, 276 cervical cancer screenings, 29 colorectal cancer screenings, and 11 prostate cancer screenings. This resulted in detecting 5 breast cancers and 4 CIN III severe dysplasia cervical results. In 2022, Shore Medical Center received $342,172 in CEED grant funding for these services. Shore is also the lead agency for the Comprehensive Cancer Control (CCC) coalition grant to provide policy, environmental and system changes in Atlantic and Cape May County in an effort to reduce cancer. In 2022, Shore Medical Center received $167,012 for these initiatives. In 2022, 1,849 individuals were part of the education and outreach conducted through CEED and CCC through awareness events, workshops or lectures. Activities included table events, a meditation program for cancer survivorship and a variety of webinars that were recorded live that can be viewed on-demand. Since COVID cancer screening events became more prevalent in our outreach activities due to the ability to have them during the pandemic and the success of the events. During 2022, six cancer screenings occurred with 88 participants attending these events. Some of these screenings were enabled by Rutgers ScreenNJ funding. This was an additional grant obtained by Shore Medical Center to focus on lung and colorectal cancer screening, as well as provide free lung cancer screening for uninsured/underinsured populations. The funding received in 2022 was $35,227. In order to assist with health equity a grant from the FCC for $769,800 was written in partnership with Southern Jersey Family Medical Center (SJFMC), the local FQHC. This grant enabled 200 telehealth devices designated for the cancer center, 400 for the hospital and 683 for SJFMC. The focus was to improve telehealth access for patients - specifically underserved patients. Shore Medical Center began handing out devices in 2022. Childbirth ---------- Childbirth education, breast feeding support and other programs to welcome a newborn into the family are offered to the entire community through the Shore Beginnings Prenatal and Wellness Program.\n\nVirtual & In-Person Resources and Support ----------------------------------------- The medical center's website provides information on medical center programs, services and physicians. It also offers educational videos, health-focused articles and assessments. The medical center's physician finder service is free and available on the internet. The service matches a person's needs such as specialty, location, insurance and office hours to a Shore medical staff physician. Shore's Veterans Affairs Navigator Program, Alzheimer's Association Caregiver Support Group and support through the Center for Family Caregivers continued in 2022 on a limited bases due to Covid, providing support to patients and families virtually when in-person was not possible. 1. Veterans Affairs Navigator Program: Guides veterans through the process of seeking VA medical care and helps them overcome barriers they may encounter, demystifying the process and helping them take full advantage of their healthcare opportunities. 2. Alzheimer's Association's Caregiver Support Group: Designed to provide emotional, educational and social support for caregivers through regularly scheduled meetings. They help participants develop methods and skills to solve problems. The groups encourage caregivers to maintain their own personal, physical and emotional health, as well as optimally care for the person with dementia. The support group at Shore is held the second Tuesday of every month. 3. Center for Family Caregivers Support: Staff are available to provide emotional, educational and social support for family caregivers in need of assistance and support as they manage the often-daunting role of family caregiver for a loved one at home after they are discharged. In 2022, Shore Medical Center introduced a new monthly virtual wellness program, \"Caring Together, Living Well\", in partnership with Angelic Health. The program provided speakers on a wide range of health and wellness topics including music therapy, grief and loss, and how to write your memoir. These sessions began virtually and then transitioned to in-person. In addition to these support groups, Shore has been very proactive in assisting patients with Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia, working with the Alzheimer's Association of America and the Purple Angel project on educational and awareness issues. Uncompensated Care ================== The medical center has long been a regional leader in meeting its commitment to the medically underserved members of the community. In addition to its community outreach programs, the medical center provides substantial amounts of uncompensated care to those least able to pay for these services. In keeping with its mission to care for patients, the medical center serves all without regard to ability to pay. In 2022, the medical center spent approximately $1.12 million at cost for medical services delivered to these patients. The medical center only received a state subsidy of approximately $286,000 to offset this amount. The medical center recognizes the financial difficulty imposed on the self-pay patient who is least able to afford to pay for healthcare services when billed at the medical center's standard charges. Therefore, the medical center established an innovative policy to address the disparity between hospital-billed charges and the actual cost of providing care to the self-pay patient or under-insured patient. The method adopted is based upon sound accounting principles to determine the actual cost of providing care to patients using a known standard developed for the Medicare cost report. The policy is to apply the most current hospital specific Medicare cost to charge ratio to the self-pay patient's total charge balance and adjust the bill to cost. This adjustment is limited only to those patients not covered by insurance. This ratio is subject to change as determined by the Medicare fiscal intermediary. Patients unable to pay the cost adjusted bill in full are permitted to enter into a hospital-approved payment arrangement. Payment arrangements are determined based upon the financial condition of the patient and paid over time using our existing payment arrangement methodology. As a non-profit healthcare provider, it is the medical center's responsibility to deliver high-quality healthcare regardless of the patient's ability to pay. The medical center is committed to the community that it serves. The challenge of meeting the high costs of providing quality health services is made possible through the dedication of physicians, staff and volunteers. Affiliations ============ Shore Physicians Group ---------------------- Shore Medical Center is aligned with Shore Physicians Group (SPG), a multi-specialty physician group that is committed to changing the way people are cared for in the community. This group features specialists in the fields of Endocrinology, Neurology, Non-operative Sports Medicine, Primary Care, and Rheumatology.

Spirit of Shore =============== Hospitals are busy places, but the staff at the medical center is never too busy to pay attention to the thoughtful gestures and kind acts that can make a meaningful difference to patients and their family members. This philosophy is the driving force behind the Spirit of Shore initiative at the medical center. The Spirit of Shore reflects the culture of caring that is unique to Shore. Since the implementation of its Spirit of Shore program in 2008, the medical center has been on a journey to create and nurture an institutional culture of patient-centered clinical, emotional and spiritual care for its patients, their families and staff. Initiatives touch every corner of the medical center's community, promoting an environment where everyone is a caregiver, regardless of their position within the organization.\n\nOur many programs and initiatives include, but are not limited to, the following: - Shared medical records; - Comfortable family lounges; - Patient directed visitation; - Hourly rounds; - Leadership rounds; - Bedside report; - E-ICU; - No passing zone; - Motorized scooters for patients; - Patient Partner program - Community education; and - Weekly prayer circles. The medical center's No One Dies Alone program is a volunteer program that provides companions for patients near death who do not have any family or close friends to be with them in their final hours. Volunteers sit with patients and offer solace through meditation, music, poems or simply through touch. The medical center's Patient and Family Advisory Council is made up of former Shore patients and family members, community members and volunteers. Group members share stories, provide valuable feedback on their hospital experiences and assist leadership in decision making by incorporating their experiences into Shore's philosophy and operation. The medical center staff members also use these meetings to educate the council about the medical center and healthcare issues in general. Centers of Excellence ===================== The medical center's recognized centers of excellence include but are not limited to the following: Cancer CENTER ------------- A cancer diagnosis is an experience that is unique to every individual. At Shore Cancer Center, a member of the Penn Cancer Network, we respond to each patient with optimism and real solutions: a comprehensive, nationally recognized program combining the best available technology, experts in the field and quality services, including our state-of-the-art facility.

Maternal-Fetal Medicine Program ------------------------------- Sometimes a woman needs additional expertise in the form of a maternal-fetal medicine specialist - an obstetrician who is trained in fetal medicine and high-risk pregnancies. Through our affiliation with Penn Medicine and renowned specialist Dr. Robert Debbs, D.O., the Penn maternal-fetal medicine program at the medical center provides these expectant mothers with the specialized care they need. Groundbreaking Pediatric Care Center ------------------------------------ The medical center's child-friendly Pediatric Care Center was the first of its kind in New Jersey, featuring a dedicated and separate pediatric treatment area for minor illnesses and injuries, as well as inpatient rooms.

The laborist program features seven skilled laborists who rotate to assist with gynecological emergencies, inpatient consultations, emergency C-sections and other needs. Thanks to the laborist program, births at Shore are on the rise, and we've seen a significant reduction in the hospital's C-section rates. In partnership with the Atlantic County Special Services School District, Shore Medical Center developed a Sensory Friendly Pediatric Emergency Care program designed to help children with autism have a better experience when coming to the hospital, from door to discharge. The program officially launched in April 2021 on World Autism Awareness Day and has proven to be a success for helping children and families with sensory processing differences get the care they need. Shore continues to work with Atlantic County Special Services School to provide training to new staff and make adjustments to the program where it is needed.

Background ========== Shore Medical Center (\"the medical center\") is a general medical and surgical hospital recognized by the IRS as an internal revenue code section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Pursuant to its charitable purposes, The Medical Center provides medically necessary healthcare services to all individuals in a non-discriminatory manner regardless of race, color, creed, sex, national origin, or ability to pay. Moreover, the medical center operates consistently with the following criteria outlined in IRS revenue ruling 69-545: 1) The medical center provides medically necessary healthcare services to all individuals regardless of ability to pay, including charity care, self-pay, Medicare and Medicaid patients; 2) The medical center operates an active emergency department for all persons; which is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days per year; 3) The medical center maintains an open medical staff, with privileges available to all qualified physicians; 4) Control of the medical center rests with its board of trustees; which is comprised of independent civic leaders and other prominent members of the community; and 5) Surplus funds are used to improve the quality of patient care, expand and renovate facilities and advance medical care; programs and activities. The operations of the medical center, as shown through the factors outlined above and other information contained herein, clearly demonstrate that the medical center provides substantial community benefit and that the use and control of The Medical Center is for the benefit of the public and that no part of the income or net earnings of the organization inures to the benefit of any private individual nor is any private interest being served other than incidentally.

Organization Overview ===================== The medical center is a not-for-profit healthcare resource that has served southern New Jersey for more than 80 years. In that time, the medical center has become known for providing a compassionate level of service that goes hand in hand with its advanced technology and modern medical facilities. The medical center is a 199 bed, not-for-profit acute care medical center located in Somers Point, Atlantic County, New Jersey, approximately 10 miles south of Atlantic City, New Jersey. The medical center is licensed and approved by the state of New Jersey to operate as a general acute care hospital providing both inpatient and outpatient services to the community. Founded in 1928 and chartered in 1940 as a not-for-profit corporation, the medical center serves the healthcare needs of both the year-round and summer residents of Atlantic and Cape May counties, as well as visitors from other communities and states. The medical center has undergone more than fourteen major construction and renovation projects since 1940 to provide necessary facilities and services for its expanding patient population. In 2013, the medical center unveiled a new state-of-the-art medical oncology suite on the third floor of its freestanding cancer center. The 3,600 square foot expansion features eight spacious infusion therapy bays, three exam rooms, a family waiting room, nutrition center and a fully equipped and stocked pharmacy with a full-time oncology pharmacist.

Community Focused Education =========================== The medical center's wellness program has been an integral part of the community, offering health education and screenings for more than 20 years. Cancer Outreach --------------- The Medical Center is the lead agency for the New Jersey Cancer Education and Early Detection (CEED) program in Atlantic County. On July 1, 2024, The Medical Center also became the lead CEED agency in Cape May County. The program provides cancer screening, diagnostic and navigation services for underserved populations at convenient locations within the community. The Medical Center, in partnership with Cape May County Health Department coordinated 396 breast cancer screenings, 262 cervical cancer screenings, 119 colorectal cancer screenings, and 52 prostate cancer screenings. This resulted in detecting 3 breast cancers. In 2024, The Medical Center received $344,376 in CEED grant funding for these services. The Medical Center is also the lead agency for the Comprehensive Cancer Control (CCC) coalition grant to provide policy, environmental and system changes in Atlantic and Cape May County in an effort to reduce cancer. In 2024, The Medical Center received $89,259 for these initiatives. In 2024, 4,037 individuals were part of the education and outreach conducted through CEED and CCC through awareness events, table events and workshops or lectures. Cancer screening events have become more prevalent in our outreach activities due to the ability to have them during the pandemic and the success of the events. During 2024, six cancer screenings occurred with 123 participants attending these events. These events are available free to populations who are uninsured/underinsured. Two lung cancer screening events, one breast mammogram event, two traveling prostate cancer screening events (multiple locations in the community) and one skin cancer screening event occurred. The Medical Center received a small grant from Colon Cancer Coalition to complete colorectal cancer awareness directed to underserved communities. The project included small intimate groups in trusted neighborhood churches. Funding was $2,428.75. This provided education, food, FOBT kits, stamps, and processing of the kits. The project was called \"Talkin' Tushes\". Six events occurred over 2024 and are included in the education numbers above. Childbirth ---------- Childbirth education, breast feeding support and other programs to welcome a newborn into the family are offered to the entire community through The Medical Center Beginnings Prenatal and Wellness Program. Virtual & In-Person Resources and Support -----------------------------------------\n\nThe medical center's website provides information on medical center programs, services and physicians. It also offers educational videos, health-focused articles and assessments. The medical center's physician finder service is free and available on the internet. The service matches a person's needs such as specialty, location, insurance and office hours to a shore medical staff physician. The medical center's veterans affairs navigator program, alzheimer's association caregiver support group and support through the center for family caregivers continued in 2024. 1. Veterans affairs navigator program: guides veterans through the process of seeking va medical care and helps them overcome barriers they may encounter, demystifying the process and helping them take full advantage of their healthcare opportunities. 2. Alzheimer's association's caregiver support group: designed to provide emotional, educational and social support for caregivers through regularly scheduled meetings.

Center for family caregivers support: staff are available to provide emotional, educational and social support for family caregivers in need of assistance and support as they manage the often-daunting role of family caregiver for a loved one at home after they are discharged. Uncompensated care ================== the medical center has long been a regional leader in meeting its commitment to the medically underserved members of the community. In addition to its community outreach programs, the medical center provides substantial amounts of uncompensated care to those least able to pay for these services. In keeping with its mission to care for patients, the medical center serves all without regard to ability to pay. In 2024, shore medical center provided $6,491,420 in uncompensated care to these patients. The medical center recognizes the financial difficulty imposed on the self-pay patient who is least able to afford to pay for healthcare services when billed at the medical center's standard charges. Therefore, the medical center established an innovative policy to address the disparity between hospital-billed charges and the actual cost of providing care to the self-pay patient or under-insured patient. The method adopted is based upon sound accounting principles to determine the actual cost of providing care to patients using a known standard developed for the medicare cost report. The policy is to apply the most current hospital specific medicare cost to charge ratio to the self-pay patient's total charge balance and adjust the bill to cost. This adjustment is limited only to those patients not covered by insurance. This ratio is subject to change as determined by the medicare fiscal intermediary. Patients unable to pay the cost adjusted bill in full are permitted to enter into a hospital-approved payment arrangement. Payment arrangements are determined based upon the financial condition of the patient and paid over time using our existing payment arrangement methodology. As a non-profit healthcare provider, it is the medical center's responsibility to deliver high-quality healthcare regardless of the patient's ability to pay. The medical center is committed to the community that it serves. The challenge of meeting the high costs of providing quality health services is made possible through the dedication of physicians, staff and volunteers.

Mission Statement ================= We care for and respect all patients, their families and each other. Organization Overview ===================== The medical center is a not-for-profit healthcare resource that has served southern New Jersey for more than 80 years. In that time, the medical center has become known for providing a compassionate level of service that goes hand in hand with its advanced technology and modern medical facilities. The medical center is a 199 bed, not-for-profit acute care medical center located in Somers Point, Atlantic County, New Jersey, approximately 10 miles south of Atlantic City, New Jersey. The medical center is licensed and approved by the state of New Jersey to operate as a general acute care hospital providing both inpatient and outpatient services to the community. Founded in 1928 and chartered in 1940 as a not-for-profit corporation, the medical center serves the healthcare needs of both the year-round and summer residents of Atlantic and Cape May counties, as well as visitors from other communities and states. The medical center has undergone more than fourteen major construction and renovation projects since 1940 to provide necessary facilities and services for its expanding patient population. In 2013, the medical center unveiled a new state-of-the-art medical oncology suite on the third floor of its freestanding cancer center. The 3,600 square foot expansion features eight spacious infusion therapy bays, three exam rooms, a family waiting room, nutrition center and a fully equipped and stocked pharmacy with a full-time oncology pharmacist. The medical center engages the talents and teamwork of the best and brightest people in the industry. Our team of physicians, nurses, technologists, managers, financial experts, board of trustees and our affiliates all work together to ensure that the community has access to the best healthcare resources when needed. The medical center continues to be accredited by the Joint Commission, the nation's predominant standards setting and accrediting body in healthcare, as a Primary Stroke Center. Shore also is also certified by the Joint Commission for its spine surgery and hip and knee replacement programs in recognition of the medical center's strict adherence to quality standards. In addition, Shore Medical Center is a member of Penn Medicine Teleneurology; a member of the New Jersey Health Care Quality Institute to improve the safety, quality and affordability of health care for everyone; and a member of the Penn Medicine Cancer Network. Shore Medical Center's ICU is managed by Board Certified Critical Care physicians, 24/7/365. In addition, Shore Medical Center's state-of-the-art pediatric care center offers an \"ouchless\" program to reduce the pain and fear children may experience in the hospital, as well as a sensory friendly program for children on the autism spectrum or with sensory processing disorders to help reduce sensory stimuli and create a more calming environment for receiving care. In 2023, 7,892 patients were admitted to the medical center and 3,580 placed in Observation. There were 47,976 patients treated in Shore's emergency department. Community Focused Education =========================== The medical center's wellness program has been an integral part of the community, offering health education and screenings for more than 20 years. Cancer Outreach --------------- Shore is the lead agency for the New Jersey Cancer Education and Early Detection (CEED) program in Atlantic County. The program provides cancer screening, diagnostic and navigation services for underserved populations at convenient locations within the community. Shore coordinated 360 breast cancer screenings, 242 cervical cancer screenings, 83 colorectal cancer screenings, and 44 prostate cancer screenings. This resulted in detecting 2 breast cancers. In 2023, Shore Medical Center received $394,036 in CEED grant funding for these services. Shore is also the lead agency for the Comprehensive Cancer Control (CCC) coalition grant to provide policy, environmental and system changes in Atlantic and Cape May County in an effort to reduce cancer. In 2023, Shore Medical Center received $116,403 for these initiatives. In 2023, 4,278 individuals were part of the education and outreach conducted through CEED and CCC through awareness events, workshops or lectures. Activities included table events, a meditation retreat for cancer survivorship, a variety of webinars that were recorded live that can be viewed YouTube, and multiple food distribution events. Cancer screening events have become more prevalent in our outreach activities due to the ability to have them during the pandemic and the success of the events. During 2023, six cancer screenings occurred with 83 participants attending these events. These events are available free to populations who are uninsured/underinsured. Two lung cancer screening events, one breast mammogram event, and three traveling prostate cancer screening events (multiple locations in the community) occurred. In order to assist with health equity a grant from the FCC for $769,800 was written in partnership with Southern Jersey Family Medical Center (SJFMC), the local FQHC. This grant enabled 200 telehealth devices designated for the cancer center, 400 for the hospital and 683 for SJFMC. The focus was to improve telehealth access for patients - specifically underserved patients. Shore Medical Center began handing out devices in 2022 and finished handing out the devices in 2023. Childbirth ---------- Childbirth education, breast feeding support and other programs to welcome a newborn into the family are offered to the entire community through the Shore Beginnings Prenatal and Wellness Program.\n\nVirtual & In-Person Resources and Support ----------------------------------------- The medical center's website provides information on medical center programs, services and physicians. It also offers educational videos, health-focused articles and assessments. The medical center's physician finder service is free and available on the internet. The service matches a person's needs such as specialty, location, insurance and office hours to a Shore medical staff physician. Shore's Veterans Affairs Navigator Program, Alzheimer's Association Caregiver Support Group and support through the Center for Family Caregivers continued in 2023 on a limited bases due to Covid, providing support to patients and families virtually when in-person was not possible. 1. Veterans Affairs Navigator Program: Guides veterans through the process of seeking VA medical care and helps them overcome barriers they may encounter, demystifying the process and helping them take full advantage of their healthcare opportunities. 2. Alzheimer's Association's Caregiver Support Group: Designed to provide emotional, educational and social support for caregivers through regularly scheduled meetings. They help participants develop methods and skills to solve problems. The groups encourage caregivers to maintain their own personal, physical and emotional health, as well as optimally care for the person with dementia. The support group at Shore is held the second Tuesday of every month. 3. Center for Family Caregivers Support: Staff are available to provide emotional, educational and social support for family caregivers in need of assistance and support as they manage the often-daunting role of family caregiver for a loved one at home after they are discharged. Shore Medical Center offers a monthly virtual wellness program, \"Caring Together, Living Well,\" in partnership with Angelic Health. The program provided speakers on a wide range of health and wellness topics including music therapy, grief and loss, and how to write your memoir. These sessions began virtually and then transitioned to in-person. In addition to these support groups, Shore has been very proactive in assisting patients with Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia, working with the Alzheimer's Association of America on educational and awareness issues. In Oct 2023, Shore brought Dementia Live - a high-impact, dementia simulation experience for staff education. Dementia Live immerses participants into life with dementia, resulting in a deeper understanding of what it's like to live with cognitive impairment and sensory changes. The experience was valuable for those who do not currently care for someone with dementia as it is for those who are among 272,000 people in New Jersey who do. Uncompensated Care ================== The medical center has long been a regional leader in meeting its commitment to the medically underserved members of the community. In addition to its community outreach programs, the medical center provides substantial amounts of uncompensated care to those least able to pay for these services. In keeping with its mission to care for patients, the medical center serves all without regard to ability to pay. In 2023, Shore provided $30,231,826 in Uncompensated Care ($4,667,795 in bad debt; $10,450,948 in Charity Care, and $15,113,083). The medical center recognizes the financial difficulty imposed on the self-pay patient who is least able to afford to pay for healthcare services when billed at the medical center's standard charges. Therefore, the medical center established an innovative policy to address the disparity between hospital-billed charges and the actual cost of providing care to the self-pay patient or under-insured patient. The method adopted is based upon sound accounting principles to determine the actual cost of providing care to patients using a known standard developed for the Medicare cost report. The policy is to apply the most current hospital specific Medicare cost to charge ratio to the self-pay patient's total charge balance and adjust the bill to cost. This adjustment is limited only to those patients not covered by insurance. This ratio is subject to change as determined by the Medicare fiscal intermediary. Patients unable to pay the cost adjusted bill in full are permitted to enter into a hospital-approved payment arrangement. Payment arrangements are determined based upon the financial condition of the patient and paid over time using our existing payment arrangement methodology. As a non-profit healthcare provider, it is the medical center's responsibility to deliver high-quality healthcare regardless of the patient's ability to pay. The medical center is committed to the community that it serves. The challenge of meeting the high costs of providing quality health services is made possible through the dedication of physicians, staff and volunteers. Affiliations ============ Shore Physicians Group ---------------------- Shore Medical Center is aligned with Shore Physicians Group (SPG), a multi-specialty physician group that is committed to changing the way people are cared for in the community.

This philosophy is the driving force behind the Spirit of Shore initiative at the medical center. The Spirit of Shore reflects the culture of caring that is unique to Shore. Since the implementation of its Spirit of Shore program in 2008, the medical center has been on a journey to create and nurture an institutional culture of patient-centered clinical, emotional and spiritual care for its patients, their families and staff.

Shore also partners with the community on two councils, its Spirituality Council and the Patient and Family Advisory Council. Shore's Spirituality Council was created to help provide strength, comfort and support for visiting loved ones and members of the Shore family in their time of need. This Council is comprised of local clergy, staff and volunteers. Shore's non-denominational Chapel, located on the 5th floor of the hospital, provides a space for quiet contemplation and reflection. Shore also has a Eucharistic Ministry program staffed by volunteers. The Patient and Family Advisory Council is made up of former Shore patients and family members, community members and volunteers.

Through our affiliation with Penn Medicine and renowned specialist Dr. Robert Debbs, D.O., the Penn maternal-fetal medicine program at the medical center provides these expectant mothers with the specialized care they need. The medical center's laborist program ensures that a highly trained obstetrician-gynecologist is on site at Shore 24 hours a day, seven days a week to assist patients in labor until their own physician arrives. The laborist program features seven skilled laborists who rotate to assist with gynecological emergencies, inpatient consultations, emergency C-sections and other needs. Thanks to the laborist program, births at Shore are on the rise, and we've seen a significant reduction in the hospital's C-section rates.

Background ========== Shore Medical Center (\"the medical center\") is a general medical and surgical hospital recognized by the IRS as an internal revenue code section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Pursuant to its charitable purposes, The Medical Center provides medically necessary healthcare services to all individuals in a non-discriminatory manner regardless of race, color, creed, sex, national origin, or ability to pay. Moreover, the medical center operates consistently with the following criteria outlined in IRS revenue ruling 69-545: 1) The medical center provides medically necessary healthcare services to all individuals regardless of ability to pay, including charity care, self-pay, Medicare and Medicaid patients; 2) The medical center operates an active emergency department for all persons; which is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days per year; 3) The medical center maintains an open medical staff, with privileges available to all qualified physicians; 4) Control of the medical center rests with its board of trustees; which is comprised of independent civic leaders and other prominent members of the community; and 5) Surplus funds are used to improve the quality of patient care, expand and renovate facilities and advance medical care; programs and activities. The operations of the medical center, as shown through the factors outlined above and other information contained herein, clearly demonstrate that the medical center provides substantial community benefit and that the use and control of The Medical Center is for the benefit of the public and that no part of the income or net earnings of the organization inures to the benefit of any private individual nor is any private interest being served other than incidentally. Mission Statement ================= We care for and respect all patients, their families and each other. Organization Overview ===================== The medical center is a not-for-profit healthcare resource that has served southern New Jersey for more than 80 years. In that time, the medical center has become known for providing a compassionate level of service that goes hand in hand with its advanced technology and modern medical facilities. The medical center is a 199 bed, not-for-profit acute care medical center located in Somers Point, Atlantic County, New Jersey, approximately 10 miles south of Atlantic City, New Jersey. The medical center is licensed and approved by the state of New Jersey to operate as a general acute care hospital providing both inpatient and outpatient services to the community. Founded in 1928 and chartered in 1940 as a not-for-profit corporation, the medical center serves the healthcare needs of both the year-round and summer residents of Atlantic and Cape May counties, as well as visitors from other communities and states. The medical center has undergone more than fourteen major construction and renovation projects since 1940 to provide necessary facilities and services for its expanding patient population. In 2013, the medical center unveiled a new state-of-the-art medical oncology suite on the third floor of its freestanding cancer center. The 3,600 square foot expansion features eight spacious infusion therapy bays, three exam rooms, a family waiting room, nutrition center and a fully equipped and stocked pharmacy with a full-time oncology pharmacist. The medical center engages the talents and teamwork of the best and brightest people in the industry. Our team of physicians, nurses, technologists, managers, financial experts, board of trustees and our affiliates all work together to ensure that the community has access to the best healthcare resources when needed. The medical center continues to be accredited by the Joint Commission, the nation's predominant standards setting and accrediting body in healthcare, as a Primary Stroke Center.

Community Focused Education =========================== The medical center's wellness program has been an integral part of the community, offering health education and screenings for more than 20 years. Cancer Outreach --------------- The Medical Center is the lead agency for the New Jersey Cancer Education and Early Detection (CEED) program in Atlantic County. On July 1, 2024, The Medical Center also became the lead CEED agency in Cape May County. The program provides cancer screening, diagnostic and navigation services for underserved populations at convenient locations within the community. The Medical Center, in partnership with Cape May County Health Department coordinated 396 breast cancer screenings, 262 cervical cancer screenings, 119 colorectal cancer screenings, and 52 prostate cancer screenings. This resulted in detecting 3 breast cancers. In 2024, The Medical Center received $344,376 in CEED grant funding for these services. The Medical Center is also the lead agency for the Comprehensive Cancer Control (CCC) coalition grant to provide policy, environmental and system changes in Atlantic and Cape May County in an effort to reduce cancer. In 2024, The Medical Center received $89,259 for these initiatives. In 2024, 4,037 individuals were part of the education and outreach conducted through CEED and CCC through awareness events, table events and workshops or lectures. Cancer screening events have become more prevalent in our outreach activities due to the ability to have them during the pandemic and the success of the events. During 2024, six cancer screenings occurred with 123 participants attending these events. These events are available free to populations who are uninsured/underinsured. Two lung cancer screening events, one breast mammogram event, two traveling prostate cancer screening events (multiple locations in the community) and one skin cancer screening event occurred. The Medical Center received a small grant from Colon Cancer Coalition to complete colorectal cancer awareness directed to underserved communities. The project included small intimate groups in trusted neighborhood churches. Funding was $2,428.75. This provided education, food, FOBT kits, stamps, and processing of the kits. The project was called \"Talkin' Tushes\". Six events occurred over 2024 and are included in the education numbers above. Childbirth ---------- Childbirth education, breast feeding support and other programs to welcome a newborn into the family are offered to the entire community through The Medical Center Beginnings Prenatal and Wellness Program. Virtual & In-Person Resources and Support -----------------------------------------\n\nThe medical center's website provides information on medical center programs, services and physicians. It also offers educational videos, health-focused articles and assessments. The medical center's physician finder service is free and available on the internet. The service matches a person's needs such as specialty, location, insurance and office hours to a shore medical staff physician. The medical center's veterans affairs navigator program, alzheimer's association caregiver support group and support through the center for family caregivers continued in 2024. 1. Veterans affairs navigator program: guides veterans through the process of seeking va medical care and helps them overcome barriers they may encounter, demystifying the process and helping them take full advantage of their healthcare opportunities. 2.

Uncompensated care ================== the medical center has long been a regional leader in meeting its commitment to the medically underserved members of the community. In addition to its community outreach programs, the medical center provides substantial amounts of uncompensated care to those least able to pay for these services. In keeping with its mission to care for patients, the medical center serves all without regard to ability to pay. In 2024, shore medical center provided $6,491,420 in uncompensated care to these patients. The medical center recognizes the financial difficulty imposed on the self-pay patient who is least able to afford to pay for healthcare services when billed at the medical center's standard charges. Therefore, the medical center established an innovative policy to address the disparity between hospital-billed charges and the actual cost of providing care to the self-pay patient or under-insured patient. The method adopted is based upon sound accounting principles to determine the actual cost of providing care to patients using a known standard developed for the medicare cost report. The policy is to apply the most current hospital specific medicare cost to charge ratio to the self-pay patient's total charge balance and adjust the bill to cost. This adjustment is limited only to those patients not covered by insurance. This ratio is subject to change as determined by the medicare fiscal intermediary. Patients unable to pay the cost adjusted bill in full are permitted to enter into a hospital-approved payment arrangement. Payment arrangements are determined based upon the financial condition of the patient and paid over time using our existing payment arrangement methodology. As a non-profit healthcare provider, it is the medical center's responsibility to deliver high-quality healthcare regardless of the patient's ability to pay. The medical center is committed to the community that it serves. The challenge of meeting the high costs of providing quality health services is made possible through the dedication of physicians, staff and volunteers.
