Fiscal Year Community Benefit Report 2011-12 To provide high-quality healthcare without discrimination, and contribute to the health and well-being of our communities in an ethical, safe, and fiscally prudent manner in recognition of our charitable purpose. The PIH Health Mission Community Benefit Report Fiscal Year 2011 - 12 This annual report provides detailed information for the following: Office of Statewide Health Planning & Development (OSHPD) This report is submitted to OSHPD in fulfillment of the State of California’s community benefit law, Senate Bill 697 (SB 697), which was signed into law in 1994 in response to increasing interest regarding contributions made by nonprofit hospitals to the communities they serve. SB 697 defines community benefit as “a hospital’s activities that are intended to address community needs and priorities primarily through disease prevention and improvement of health status.” Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Beginning in 2009, nonprofit hospitals were also required to file Schedule H as part of their IRS Form 990 tax filing. The form reports a hospital’s benefit to the community through free or discounted care, health research, community education, subsidized services, and other community health improvement activities. This annual report is attached with PIH Health’s tax filing. Our Community This report also serves to inform our community, particularly those individuals and organizations with a shared interest in PIH Health’s mission of service, of PIH Health’s broad spectrum of free and low-cost initiatives aimed at improving the overall health of the communities we serve. We invite you to contact us at any time to share comments and questions or request additional information regarding the community benefit programs described in this annual report.
