The Hospital is a wholly owned subsidiary of Adventist Health System Sunbelt Healthcare Corporation (AHSSHC). AHSSHC is the 501(c)(3) parent organization of a hospital and healthcare system known as AdventHealth. In January 2019, every wholly-owned entity of AHSSHC adopted the AdventHealth system brand. Our identity has been unified to represent the full continuum of care our system offers. Any references to our prior Community Health Needs Assessments (CHNAs) or prior Community Health Plans (CHPs) will utilize our new name for consistency. AdventHealth New Smyrna Beach ispart of theCentral Florida Division of AdventHealth. In 2020, the Central Florida Division North-Region (CFD-N), which includes AdventHealth Daytona Beach, AdventHealth DeLand, AdventHealth Fish Memorial, AdventHealth New Smyrna, AdventHealth Palm Coast and AdventHealth Waterman was combined with the Central Florida Division South-Region (CFD-S), which includes AdventHealth Altamonte, AdventHealth Apopka, AdventHealth Celebration, AdventHealth East Orlando, AdventHealth Heart of Florida, AdventHealth Kissimmee, AdventHealth Lake Wales, AdventHealth Orlando and AdventHealth Winter Park to unify as one under the Central Florida Division. The combination included six hospitals from CFD-N and nine hospitals from CFD-S. The Community Health Plans/Implementation Strategies for both regions were finalized before the combination. The Central Florida Division of AdventHealth now includes 15 hospitals.This is the second-year update for AdventHealth New Smyrna Beach's 2020-2022 Community Health Plan/Implementation Strategy. The Hospital developed this plan and posted it in May 2020 as part of its 2019 Community Health Needs Assessment process.For the development of both the Community Health Needs Assessment and the Community Health Plan/Implementation Strategy, AdventHealth New Smyrna Beach worked to define and address the needs of low-income, minority and underserved populations in its service area.The 2019 Community Health Needs Assessment used primary data interviews and surveys; secondary data from local, regional, and national health-related sources; and Hospital prevalence data to help the Hospital determine the health needs of the community it serves.Once the data was gathered, the primary issues identified in the community health needs assessment were prioritized by community and Hospital stakeholders, who then selected key issues for the Hospital to address in its 2020-2022 Community Health Plan. The second-year progress on the Community Health Plan is noted below. The narrative describes the prioritized issues identified in 2019 and gives an update on the strategies addressing those issues. There is also a description of the identified issues that the Hospital did not address. AdventHealth New Smyrna Beach chose five priorities for its 2020-2022 Community Health Plan: 1. Adult & Youth Behavioral Health 2. Cardiovascular Diseases & Diabetes 3. Barriers to Accessing Health Care Services 4. Healthy Eating & Physical Activity 5. Social and Economic Issues (Social Determinants of Health) Priority 1: Adult & Youth Behavioral Health 2019 Description of the Issue:Alcohol Use - Heavy/Binge drinking has increased slightly from 2010 to 2016.

The rate of death from opioid overdoses increased in the last year and now exceeds the Florida rate. - The percent of Volusia County adults who smoke is higher than Florida (the difference is statistically significant). - The percent of Volusia County middle and high school students using marijuana decreased between 2016 and 2018 but remains higher than Florida. - Reported cigarette use among Volusia County middle and high school students has declined, but both rates remain higher than Florida. Mental Health - The percent of Volusia County adults who had 14 or more poor mental health days in the last month is higher than Florida (the difference is statistically significant). - The percent of Volusia County adults with a depressive disorder is higher than Florida (the difference is statistically significant for Hispanic population). - Volusia County's suicide rate is increasing and is higher than Florida's. - Volusia County's age 19-21 rate of hospitalizations for self-inflicted injuries has increased but is lower than Florida's. 2021 Update: The AdventHealth New Smyrna Beach Community Health Plan has two desired goal statements under the Adult & Youth Behavioral Health priority. 1. Establish a multi-agency referral and communication management system in Volusia/Flagler County to effectively connect individuals in need to behavioral health care services.2. Increase the number of individuals who have access to Tobacco Cessation support.Goal 1: Establish a multi-agency referral and communication management system in Volusia/Flagler County to effectively connect individuals in need to behavioral health care services.Objective 1: The first objective is a Divisional initiative and appears on multiple community health plans of Hospitals in the Central Florida Division of AdventHealth, the same division as the reporting Hospital. The Hospitals partnered on this initiative because of a shared CHNA priority. The objective is to support the development of a pilot project to connect health and behavioral health systems through the utilization of a referral and communication management technology system to be launched by the end of year two. This objective is managed at a Divisional level and outcomes are reported at a Divisional level; however, all funding is specific to the reporting Hospital. The Hospital's support provides funding to Flagler Cares, a local not-for-profit, which focuses on increasing capacity and coordination for health and human services programs, for the planning and implementation of a digital solution to facilitate referrals to behavioral health services to increase access to care and improve health. The Division progressed on its set metric through the launch of a plan to support the larger objective. Flagler Cares launched the LINC Flagler Volusia referral management system in August 2021 with an initial focus on behavioral health services. By the end of 2021, fourteen organizations were participating in the network and 889 referrals were sent through the system.Goal 2: Increase the number of individuals who have access to Tobacco Cessation support.Objective 1: The first objective is to increase the number of individuals participating in free Tools to Quit tobacco cessation programs by more than 10% over the number of participants in 2019 (58 in 2019). The objective is managed by the Division; however, the Hospital provides in-kind resources and all outcomes reported are specific to the reporting Hospital. The Northeast Florida Area Health Education Center (NEFAHEC) tobacco cessation programs provide free intervention therapies to quit smoking tobacco. Through a partnership with NEFAHEC, a local chapter of the national Area Health Education Center (AHEC) organization, we will increase the number of individuals participating in the classes by providing connection points to NEFAHEC's classes through social media posts and internal resources. NEFAHEC is a community focused organization that develops and implements community-based health promotion activities and education programs, which targets the underserved. As it relates to our relationship with NEFAHEC, we are partnering with NEFAHEC to provide community members the tools and resources to assist with tobacco cessation. See Continuation 2"

In addition, patients with existing payment plans are provided opportunities for reducing their monthly payments.

Part V, Section B, Line 11 - Continuation 2
The Hospital progressed on its set metric. There were 35 individuals referred for cessation classes and 4 individuals who accepted services and/or enrolled in a cessation class. Additionally, in response to the need in the community, the Hospital distributed Narcan spray through the Emergency Department to 58 individuals. Narcan is a life-saving medication for individuals who are or were experiencing an opioid-related overdose.The Hospital partnered with SMA Healthcare to provide Peer Support Specialist in the Emergency Department.

Reduce the incidence of diabetes among youth2. Provide CREATION Life educational sessions for area residents.3. Actively participate in community gardens to encourage healthy eating and address poor nutrition. Goal 1: Reduce the incidence of diabetes among youthObjective 1: The first objective is to implement a diabetes education program for 75% of third graders in identified elementary schools during the 2020-2021 school year. This objective is managed at a Divisional level; however, all funding and outcomes are specific to the reporting Hospital. The school-based diabetes program provides educational programming to third graders at an identified at-risk school in the New Smyrna Beach area. The Hospital progressed on its set metric. Due to COVID-19, the original program was taken offline, but this did allow for an alternative virtual alternative to be developed. The Division identified Mission Fit, an AdventHealth for Children program, which is a comprehensive children's wellness initiative that empowers students to be agents of health as a viable alternative. The program approaches each aspect of physical and mental well-being, not only for children and teens, but also for the family unit, when household support is needed to affect change. Twenty-six youth participated in Mission Fit through the City of New Smyrna Beach Parks and Recreation Department 2021 Summer Camp at the Babe James Center in zip code 32168.Goal 2: Provide CREATION Life educational sessions for area residents.Objective 1: The first objective is that 75% of CREATION Life session attendees will demonstrate an improvement in knowledge and/or attitude after completing a session (sessions provided four times per year, for 100 participants annually). The CREATION Life program is funded and deployed through AdventHealth New Smyrna Beach and all outcomes are specific to the reporting Hospital. The CREATION Life program is a series of educational and wellness sessions focused on eight health principals: Choice, Rest, Environment, Activity, Trust, Interpersonal relationships, Outlook, and Nutrition. The Hospital progressed on its set metric of 25 participants in four sessions, having four sessions with only 39 people educated in 2021. Keeping the safety of our patients and community in mind the Hospital pivoted from in-person sessions to the virtual space. In 2021, online classes were offered. The virtual format gave us the opportunity to record the presentation to use as a future reference to train new instructors or share with participants that prefer to go through the program at their own pace.Goal 3: Actively participate in community gardens to encourage healthy eating and address poor nutrition. Objective 1: The first objective is to assess the opportunity to partner with community organizations to provide fresh produce to area residents and develop an action plan by end of year one. The Community Garden Partnership initiative is managed by the Division. The Community Garden Partnership initiative aims to create partnerships with other community organizations including existing community gardens, to provide fresh produce to area residents. The Hospital did not meet its set metric. Due to COVID-19, the original program was paused, but this did allow for an alternative virtual alternative to be developed. AdventHealth New Smyrna Beach is interested in participating in the City of New Smyrna Beach Homeless Task Force to address issues associated with homelessness. AdventHealth New Smyrna Beach donated 100 bags filled with educational materials and goodies for the Annual Christmas Holiday event for seniors. Priority 3: Barriers to Accessing Health Care Services 2019 Description of the Issue:- Volusia County rate of health resources per population are lower than Florida in the categories of physicians, internists, OB/GYN and pediatricians. - Volusia County has a higher percentage of births covered by Medicaid than Florida.

See Continuation 3

Part V, Section B, Line 11 - Continuation 3
2021 Update: The AdventHealth New Smyrna Beach Community Health Plan has one desired goal statement under the Barriers to Accessing Health Care Services priority. Goal 1: Improve health and social outcomes for Community Care program participants.Objective 1: The first objective is to increase new admissions to the Community Care program by over 5% annually (70 in 2019). The Community Care Program is a Divisional initiative, which is funded and deployed through AdventHealth New Smyrna Beach. All outcomes are specific to the reporting Hospital. The Community Care program provides education, support and care coordination through an interdisciplinary team serving the most vulnerable patients identified by AdventHealth New Smyrna Beach. The team provides home visits at no charge, focusing on educating patients and families on preventative care and reducing barriers related to the social determinants of health. The Hospital met its set metric of new program enrollees with 100 new patients served in 2021. Recognizing the scope of services offered through the program and the needs of the population it serves, the Hospital has determined that it will maintain rather than increase capacity. By doing so, the Community Care program can ensure the level of care needed for individual patients can be achieved. In response to COVID-19 and in alignment with the Barriers to Accessing Health Care services priority, the Hospital supported the distribution of Narcan nasal spray and directly distributed 58 kits. AdventHealth in partnership with Volusia Recovery Alliance hosted a Narcan Education and event at Speedway's Rockville event on November 10-14, 2021, serving 128 individuals. Narcan nasal spray is the first nasal formulation of naloxone to be FDA approved for the treatment of known or suspected opioid overdose. Objective 2: The second objective is a funding initiative. This objective to provide $3,000 in support annually to provide services to the targeted top 5% of self-pay New Smyrna Beach vulnerable population. The initiative is funded solely through the reporting Hospital and does not appear on other community health plans within the Central Florida Division. This support provides resources to expand the capacity of the Community Care program. The Hospital did not meet its set metric with zero dollars provided. The Community Care team continued to provide services throughout COVID-19. The additional resources were not necessary to expand the Community Care program capacity. AdventHealth hospitals in Volusia and Flagler collected 1,800-2,000 food and supply items for Community Care patients during the 2021 Week of Caring. Objective 3:The third objective is to assess the need to provide a Whole Health Coordinator to make home visits and to educate Community Care patients regarding available health care benefits, community resources and referrals. Perform screenings to reveal medical, psychosocial, and spiritual needs of assigned members and connect to relevant resources and referrals. Assess the need by end of year one and provide Whole Health Coordinator by the end of year two. The Whole Health Coordinator effort is deployed through AdventHealth New Smyrna Beach and all outcomes are specific to the reporting Hospital. The Whole Health Coordinator assessment process included an analysis of current capacity and resources and an examination of anticipated outcomes if the new position was created. The Hospital met its set metric of completing the staff assessment with one assessment completed. As a result of the assessment it was determined that an additional coordinator was not needed at this time.Priority 4: Healthy Eating & Physical Activity 2019 Description of the Issue:- Over 70% of Volusia County middle and high school students lack vigorous physical activity and the percent increased from 2014 to 2016. The percent is better than Florida. - The percent of Volusia County adults who are sedentary increased from 2007 to 2016 and is now higher than Florida. - The percent of Volusia County middle and high schoolers who were obese increased significantly from 2014 to 2016. - The percent of Volusia County adults who are obese increased between 2013 and 2016 and the percent is now higher than Florida. - Injury deaths are increasing and higher than Florida. 2021 Update: The AdventHealth New Smyrna Beach Community Health Plan has one desired goal statement under the Healthy Eating & Physical Activity priority. Goal 1: Increase physical activity and healthy eating among vulnerable residents.Objective 1: The first objective is to provide mentorship and education about healthy eating and physical activity to 75% of Boys & Girls Clubs members at two area clubs four times annually. This objective, a Divisional initiativewhichappears on multiple community health plans of Hospitals in the Central Florida Division of AdventHealth, isfunded and deployedthroughAdventHealth New Smyrna Beach and all outcomes are specific to the reporting Hospital. The Boys & Girls Clubs education initiative is focused on providing at least four education sessions a year to club participants to increase their understanding of healthy eating and physical activity. The Hospital met its set metric of providing four education sessions with four sessions provided to 75% of Boys and Girls Clubs members at two area clubs four times annually. Four educational programs on physical activity were provided to club members at the Oretha Bell/New Smyrna Beach Club and the Jeep Beach/Edgewater Club. During the 2021 Week of Caring, 480 trail mix to-go bags were delivered to all eight locations of the Boys & Girls Club Volusia/Flagler. The Hospital supported the City of New Smyrna Beach Mayor's Fitness Challenge, there were 84 challenge participants total. Participants lost a total of 337.4 pounds and 331 inches, as well as LDL levels dropped by 205. Lab services were provided in-kind by AdventHealth New Smyrna Beach. Objective 2: The second objective is a Divisional initiative and appears on multiple community health plans of Hospitals in the Central Florida Division of AdventHealth, the same division as the reporting Hospital. The Division chose this initiative because of a shared CHNA priority. This objective, to provide $4,000 in financial support annually to the Boys & Girls Clubs, as part of strategic partnership, is to provide daily fresh fruit and whole grain snacks to club members. The objective is funded through the Hospital and all outcomes are specific to the reporting Hospital, however the initiative is managed by the Division. This initiative provides financial support so that youth participating in local Boys & Girls Clubs can have access to daily healthy snacks. The Hospital met its set metric of providing funding support with $4,000 dollars provided. The provided funding was able to make up for a shortfall in the USDA grant Boys & Girls Clubs of Volusia/Flagler uses to provide Oretha Bell/New Smyrna Beach and the Jeep Beach/Edgewater Boys & Girls Club members with daily fresh fruit and whole grain snacks. Snacks which were distributed to club member families during COVID-19.Priority 5: Social and Economic Issues (Social Determinants of Health) 2019 Description of the Issue:-Volusia County's median household income is lower than Florida's. - Volusia County's percent of individuals and individuals below age 18 below poverty are both slightly higher than Florida's. - The Volusia County percent of elementary and middle school students eligible for free/reduced price lunches is higher than Florida (a proxy measure for low income). - The Volusia County high school graduation rate is lower than Florida. - The Volusia County percent of adults limited by physical, mental, or emotional problems is higher than Florida (difference is statistically significant). - Volusia County's food insecurity rate is higher than Florida's. - Volusia County's per capita income is lower than Florida's. - Over 30% of Volusia County households spend more than 30% of their income on housing and workers in 8 of the top 20 industries in Volusia County are estimated to be housing burdened based on average hourly wage. - The Volusia County number of individuals counted during the Point-In-Time count was higher in 2019 than in 2018. - The Volusia County number of homeless students has been increasing since 2016. - Volusia County's percent of single parent households is higher than Florida's. See Continuation 4

Part V, Section B, Line 11 - Continuation 4
2021 Update: The AdventHealth New Smyrna Beach Community Health Plan has one desired goal statements under the Social and Economic Issues (Social Determinants of Health) priority. Goal 1: Increase access to income and health insurance coverage for vulnerable individuals.Objective 1: The first objective is a shared initiative between AdventHealth New Smyrna Beach, AdventHealth Fish Memorial and AdventHealth Daytona Beach. These Hospitals are part of the Central Florida Division of AdventHealth, the same division as the reporting Hospital. The Hospitals partnered on this initiative because of a shared CHNA priority. This objective, to provide access to a SOAR Processor (Supplemental Security Income/Social Security Disability Insurance [SSI/SSDI] Outreach, Access, and Recovery) through partnership to assist eligible Community Care patients with submitting successful applications for SSI/SSDI benefits (to including income and Medicaid/Medicare), is funded through all Hospitals, however reported outcomes are specific to the reporting Hospital. This initiative provides access to a certified SOAR processor who assists vulnerable patients of the Community Care program to apply for SSI/SSDI benefits to increase their income and obtain medical coverage. The Hospital met its set metric with the SOAR program launching in February 2021. AdventHealth New Smyrna Beach referred 15 Community Care patients to SOAR in 2021.Community Needs Not Chosen by AdventHealth New Smyrna:The primary and secondary data in the Community Health Needs Assessment identified multiple community issues. The Hospital and community stakeholders used the following criteria to narrow the larger list to the priority areas noted above:1. How acute is the need? (based on data and community concern)2. What is the trend? Is the need getting worse?3. Does the Hospital provide services that relate to the priority? 4. Is someone else - or multiple groups - in the community already working on this issue? 5. If the Hospital were to address this issue, are there opportunities to work with community partners? Based on this prioritization process, the Hospital did not choose the following community issues:1. The Years of Potential Aging-related issues The data collected for individuals 65 and older did not demonstrate significant negative trends or negative comparison to state data. The only indicator of concern noted was suicide rate for individuals over 65 which will be addressed through the prioritization of adult behavioral health. There are numerous initiatives in place to provide services to this target population. 2. Child & Adolescent Issues The most significant childhood issues are addressed through other priority issues (behavioral health, access to services, healthy eating, and physical activity) 3. Communicable & Infectious Diseases The data collected did not demonstrated significant negative trends or comparison data. Many issues noted in the indicators of concern will be address through the prioritization of Access to Health Care Services. 4. Crime, Domestic Violence & Child Abuse The data collected did not demonstrate significant negative trends or negative comparison to state data. Many issues noted in the indicators of concern will be address through the prioritization of Social and Economic Issues. 5. Early Childhood There are significant efforts already in place to address this target population. 6. Women's Health, Prenatal Care & Birth Outcomes There are significant efforts already in place to address this target population. Many of the indicators of concern will be addressed through the prioritization of Access to Health Care Services.

Part I, Line 6a:
"The filing organization was a wholly owned subsidiary of Adventist Health System Sunbelt Healthcare Corporation (AHSSHC) during its current tax year. During the current year, AHSSHC served as a parent organization to 30 tax-exempt 501(c)(3) hospital organizations and a number of other health care facilities that operated in 10 states within the U.S. The system of organizations under the control and ownership of AHSSHC is known as ""AdventHealth"".All hospital organizations within AdventHealth collect, calculate, and report the community benefits they provide to the communities they serve. AdventHealth organizations exist solely to improve and enhance the local communities they serve. AdventHealth has a system-wide community benefits accounting policy that provides guidelines for its health care provider organizations to capture and report the costs of services provided to the underprivileged and to the broader community. Each AdventHealth hospital facility reports their community benefits to their Board of Directors and strives to communicate their community benefits to their local communities. Additionally, the filing organization's most recently conducted community health needs assessment and associated implementation strategy can be accessed on the filing organization's website."

Part I, Line 7:
The amounts of costs reported in the table in line 7 of Part I of Schedule H were determined by utilizing a cost-to-charge ratio derived from Worksheet 2, Ratio of Patient Care Cost-to-Charges, contained in the Schedule H instructions.

Part III, Line 2:
The amount of bad debt expense reported on line 2 of Section A of Part III is recorded in accordance with Healthcare Financial Management Association Statement No. 15. Discounts and payments on patient accounts are recorded as adjustments to revenue, not bad debt expense.

Part III, Line 3:
Methodology for Determining the Estimated Amount of Bad Debt Expense that May Represent Patients who could Have Qualified under the Filing Organization's Financial Assistance Policy:Self-pay patients may apply for financial assistance by completing a Financial Assistance Application Form (FAA Form). If an individual does not submit a complete FAA Form within 240 days after the first post-discharge billing statement is sent to the individual, an individual may be considered for presumptive eligibility based upon a scoring tool that is designed to classify patients into groups of varying economic means. The scoring tool uses algorithms that incorporate data from credit bureaus, demographic databases, and hospital specific data to infer and classify patients into respective economic means categories. Individuals who earn a certain score on the scoring tool are considered to qualify as eligible for the most generous financial assistance under the filing organization's Financial Assistance Policy. As determined by the filing organization, a nominal amount of such a patient's bill is written off as bad debt expense, while the remaining portion of the patient's bill is considered non-state charity. The amount written off as bad debt expense for those patients who potentially qualify as non-state charity using the scoring tool is the amount shown on line 3 of Section A of Part III. Rationale for Including Certain Bad Debts in Community Benefit:The filing organization is dedicated to the view that medically necessary health care for emergency and non-elective patients should be accessible to all, regardless of age, gender, geographic location, cultural background, physician mobility, or ability to pay. The filing organization treats emergency and non-elective patients regardless of their ability to pay or the availability of third-party coverage. By providing health care to all who require emergency or non-elective care in a non-discriminatory manner, the filing organization is providing health care to the broad community it serves. As a 501(c)(3) hospital organization, the filing organization maintains a 24/7 emergency room providing care to all whom present. When a patient's arrival and/or admission to the facility begins within the Emergency Department, triage and medical screening are always completed prior to registration staff proceeding with the determination of a patient's source of payment. If the patient requires admission and continued non-elective care, the filing organization provides the necessary care regardless of the patient's ability to pay. The filing organization's operation of a 24/7 Emergency Department that accepts all individuals in need of care promotes the health of the community through the provision of care to all whom present. Current Internal Revenue Service guidance that tax-exempt hospitals maintain such emergency rooms was established to ensure that emergency care would be provided to all without discrimination. The treatment of all at the filing organization's Emergency Department is a community benefit. Under the filing organization's Financial Assistance Policy, every effort is made to obtain a patient's necessary financial information to determine eligibility for financial assistance. However, not all patients will cooperate with such efforts and a financial assistance eligibility determination cannot be made based upon information supplied by the individual. In this case, a patient's portion of a bill that remains unpaid for a certain stipulated time period is wholly or partially classified as bad debt. Bad debts associated with patients who have received care through the filing organization's Emergency Department should be considered community benefit as charitable hospitals exist to provide such care in pursuit of their purpose of meeting the need for emergency medical care services available to all in the community.

Part VI, Line 7:
The filing organization does not file an annual community benefit report with any state agencies.

Part III, Line 8:
Costing Methodology: Medicare allowable costs were calculated using a cost-to-charge ratio.Rationale for Including a Medicare Shortfall as Community Benefit:As a 501(c)(3) organization, the filing organization provides emergency and non-elective care to all regardless of ability to pay. All hospital services are provided in a non-discriminatory manner to patients who are covered beneficiaries under the Medicare program. As a public insurance program, Medicare provides a pre-established reimbursement rate/amount to health care providers for the services they provide to patients. In some cases, the reimbursement amount provided to a hospital may exceed its costs of providing a particular service or services to a patient. In other cases, the Medicare reimbursement amount may result in the hospital experiencing a shortfall of reimbursement received over costs incurred. In those cases where an overall shortfall is generated for providing services to all Medicare patients, the shortfall amount should be considered as a benefit to the community. Tax-exempt hospitals are required to accept all Medicare patients regardless of the profitability, or lack thereof, with respect to the services they provide to Medicare patients. The population of individuals covered under the Medicare program is sufficiently large so that the provision of services to the population is a benefit to the community and relieves the burdens of government. In those situations where the provision of services to the total Medicare patient population of a tax-exempt hospital during any year results in a shortfall of reimbursement received over the cost of providing care, the tax-exempt hospital has provided a benefit to a class of persons broad enough to be considered a benefit to the community. Despite a financial shortfall, a tax-exempt hospital must and will continue to accept and care for Medicare patients. Typically, tax-exempt hospitals provide health care services based upon an assessment of the health care needs of their community as opposed to their taxable counterparts where profitability often drives decisions about patient care services that are offered. Patient care provided by tax-exempt hospitals that results in Medicare shortfalls should be considered as providing a benefit to the community and relieving the burdens of government.

Part III, Line 9b:
The hospital filing organization's collection practices are in conformity with the requirements set forth in the 2014 Final Regulations regarding the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 501(r)(4) (r)(6). No extraordinary collection actions (ECA's) are initiated by the hospital filing organization in the 120-day period following the date after the first post-discharge billing statement is sent to the individual (or, if later, the specified deadline given in a written notice of actions that may be taken, as described below). Individuals are provided with at least one written notice (notice of actions that may be taken) and a copy of the filing organization's Plain Language Summary of the Financial Assistance Policy that informs the individual that the hospital filing organization may take actions to report adverse information to credit reporting agencies/bureaus if the individual does not submit a Financial Assistance Application Form (FAA Form) or pay the amount due by a specified deadline. The specified deadline is not earlier than 120 days after the first post-discharge billing statement is sent to the individual and is at least 30 days after the notice is provided. A reasonable attempt is also made to orally notify an individual about the filing organization's Financial Assistance Policy and how the individual may obtain assistance with the Financial Assistance application process. If an individual submits an incomplete FAA Form during the 240-day period following the date on which the first post-discharge billing statement was sent to the individual, the hospital filing organization suspends any reporting to consumer credit reporting agencies/bureaus (or ceases any other ECA's) and provides a written notice to the individual describing what additional information or documentation is needed to complete the FAA Form. This written notice contains contact information including the telephone number and physical location of the hospital facility's office or department that can provide information about the Financial Assistance Policy, as well as contact information of the hospital facility's office or department that can provide assistance with the financial assistance application process or, alternatively, a nonprofit organization or governmental agency that can provide assistance with the financial assistance application process if the hospital facility is unable to do so. If an individual submits a complete FAA Form within a reasonable time-period as set forth in the notice described above, the hospital filing organization will suspend any adverse reporting to consumer credit reporting agencies/bureaus until a financial assistance policy eligibility determination can be made.

Supplemental Schedule to Schedule H, Part III, Section B, Line 8:
Reconciliation of Schedule H Reported Medicare Surplus/(Shortfall) to Unreimbursed Medicare Costs Associated with the Provision of ServicesTo All Medicare Beneficiaries:The Medicare revenue and allowable costs of care reported in Section B of Part III of Schedule H are based upon the amounts reported in the filing organization's Medicare cost report in accordance with the IRS instructions for Schedule H. On an annual basis, the filing organization also determines its total unreimbursed costs associated with providing services to all Medicare patients. Unreimbursed costs are considered a community benefit to the elderly and are combined into an annual Community Benefit Statement prepared by AdventHealth. The primary reconciling items between the Medicare surplus/(shortfall) shown on line 7 of Section B of Part III of Schedule H and the filing organization's unreimbursed costs of services provided to all Medicare patients are as follows:- Medicare surplus/(shortfall) shown on line 7 of Section B of Schedule H: $ (4,326,461)- Difference in costing methodology: (1,861,603)- Unreimbursed costs incurred for services provided to Medicare patients that are not included in the organization's Medicare cost report: (13,682,009) -------------Total Unreimbursed costs of serving all Medicare patients per the filing organization's communitybenefit reporting $ (19,870,073)As indicated above, the primary differences between the Medicare surplus/(shortfall) reported on Schedule H, Part III, Section B, line 7 and the filing organization's portion of the Company's annual community benefit statement is due to a difference in the costing methodology and differences in the population of Medicare patients within the calculation. The cost methodology utilized in calculating any Medicare surplus/(shortfall) for purposes of the annual community benefit reporting is based upon the cost-to-charge ratio outlined in Worksheet 2 of the Schedule H instructions. The same cost-to-charge ratio is used to determine the costs associated with services provided to charity care patients and Medicaid patients as reported in Schedule H, Part I, line 7. In addition, the Medicare cost report excludes services provided to Medicare patients for physician services, services provided to patients enrolled in Medicare HMOs, and certain services provided by outpatient departments of the filing organization that are reimbursed on a fee schedule. The Company's own community benefit statement captures the unreimbursed cost of providing services to all Medicare beneficiaries throughout the organization.

Part VI, Line 2:
The Hospital conducts community health needs assessments (CHNA) every three years. Its 2019 CHNA was adopted by its governing board by December 31, 2019, the end of the Hospital's taxable year in which it conducted the CHNA. The Hospital's 2019 CHNA complied with the guidance set forth by the IRS in Final Regulation Section 1.501(r)-3. In addition to the CHNA discussed above, a variety of practices and processes are in place to ensure that the filing organization is responsive to the health needs of its community.Such practices and processes involve the following:1. A hospital operating/community board composed of individuals broadly representative of the community, community leaders, and those with specialized medical training and expertise;2. Post-discharge patient follow-up related to the on-going care and treatment of patients who suffer from chronic diseases; 3. Sponsorship and participation in community health and wellness activities that reach a broad spectrum of the filing organization's community; and 4. Collaboration with other local community groups to address the health care needs of the filing organization's community.

Part VI, Line 3:
The Financial Assistance Policy (FAP), Financial Assistance Application Form (FAA Form), and the Plain Language Summary of the Financial Assistance Policy (PLS) of the filing organization's hospital facility are transparent and available to all individuals served at any point in the care continuum. The FAP, FAA Form, PLS, and contact information for the hospital facility's financial counselors are prominently and conspicuously posted on the filing organization's hospital facility's website. The website indicates that a copy of the FAP, FAA Form, and PLS is available and how to obtain such copies in the primary languages of any populations with limited proficiency in English that constitute the lesser of 1,000 individuals or 5% of the members of the community served by the hospital facility (referred to below as LEP defined populations). Signage is displayed in public locations of the filing organization's hospital facility, including at all points of admission and registration and the Emergency Department. The signage contains the hospital facility's website address where the FAP, FAA Form, and PLS can be accessed and the telephone number and physical location that individuals can call or visit to obtain copies of the FAP, FAA Form and PLS or to obtain more information about the hospital facility's FAP, FAA Form and PLS. Paper copies of the hospital facility's FAP, FAA Form and PLS are available upon request and without charge, both in public locations in the hospital facility and by mail. Paper copies are made available in English and in the primary languages of any LEP defined populations. The filing organization's hospital facility's financial counselors seek to provide personal financial counseling to all individuals admitted to the hospital facility who are classified as self-pay during the course of their hospital stay or at time of discharge to explain the FAP and FAA Form and to provide information concerning other sources of assistance that may be available, such as Medicaid. A paper copy of the hospital facility's PLS will be offered to every patient as a part of the intake or discharge process. A conspicuous written notice is included on all billing statements sent to patients that notifies and informs recipients about the availability of financial assistance under the filing organization's financial assistance policy, including the following: 1) the telephone number of the hospital facility's office or department that can provide information about the FAP and the FAA Form; and 2) the website address where copies of the FAP, FAA Form and PLS may be obtained. Reasonable attempts are made to inform individuals about the hospital facility's FAP in all oral communications regarding the amount due for the individual's care. Copies of the PLS are distributed to members of the community in a manner reasonably calculated to reach those members of the community who are most likely to require financial assistance.

Part VI, Line 5:
"The provision of community benefit is central to AdventHealth New Smyrna Beach's mission of service and compassion. Restoring and promoting the health and quality of life of those in the communities served by the Hospital is a function of ""extending the healing ministry of Christ and embodies the Hospital's commitment to its values and principles. The Hospital commits substantial resources to provide a broad range of services to both the underprivileged as well as the broader community. In addition to the community benefit and community building information provided in Parts I, II and III of this Schedule H, the Hospital captures and reports the benefits provided to its community through faith-based care. Examples of such benefits include the cost associated with chaplaincy care programs and mission peer reviews and mission conferences. During the current year, Hospital provided $236,096 of benefit with respect to the faith-based and spiritual needs of the community in conjunction with its operation of a community hospital. The Hospital also provides benefits to its community's infrastructure by investing in capital improvements to ensure that facilities and technology provide the best possible care to the community. During the current year, the Hospital expended $3,089,122 in new capital improvements. As a faith-based mission-driven community hospital, the Hospital is continually involved in monitoring its community, identifying unmet health care needs and developing solutions and programs to address those needs. In accordance with its conservative approach to fiscal responsibility, surplus funds of the Hospital are continually being invested in resources that improve the availability and quality of delivery of health care services and programs to its community."

Part VI, Line 6:
The filing organization is a part of a faith-based healthcare system of organizations whose parent is Adventist Health System Sunbelt Healthcare Corporation (AHSSHC). The system is known as AdventHealth. AHSSHC is an organization exempt from federal income tax under IRC Section 501(c)(3). AHSSHC and its subsidiary organizations operate 48 hospitals throughout the U.S., primarily in the Southeastern portion of the U.S. AHSSHC and its subsidiaries also operate 10 nursing home facilities and other ancillary health care provider facilities, such as ambulatory surgery centers and diagnostic imaging centers. As the parent organization of AdventHealth, AHSSHC provides executive leadership and other professional support services to its subsidiary organizations. Professional support services include among others IT, corporate compliance, legal, reimbursement, risk management, and tax as well as treasury functions. Certain support services, such as human resources, payroll, A/P, and supply chain management are provided pursuant to a shared services model by AHSSHC to its subsidiary organizations. The provision of these executive and support services on a centralized basis by AHSSHC provides an appropriate balance between providing each AdventHealth subsidiary hospital organization with mission-driven consistent leadership and support while allowing the hospital organization to focus its resources on meeting the specific health care needs of the community it serves. The reader of this Form 990 should keep in mind that this reporting entity may differ in certain areas from that of a stand-alone hospital organization due to its inclusion in a larger system of healthcare organizations. As a part of a system of hospital and other health care organizations, the filing organization benefits from reduced costs due to system efficiencies, such as large group purchasing discounts, and the availability of internal resources such as internal legal counsel. Each AdventHealth subsidiary pays a management fee to AHSSHC for the internal services provided by AHSSHC. As a result, management fee expense reported by an AdventHealth subsidiary organization may appear greater in relation to management fee expense that may be reported by a single stand-alone hospital. The single stand-alone hospital would likely report costs associated with management and other professional services on various expense line items in its statement of revenue and expense as opposed to reporting such costs in one overall management fee expense. As the reporting of the Form 990 is done on an entity by entity basis, there is no single Form 990 that captures the programs and operations of AdventHealth as a whole. The reader is directed to visit the web-site of AdventHealth at www.adventhealth.com to learn more about the mission and operations of AdventHealth.
