Organizations Filed Purposes: To improve the health of those we serve.

OhioHealth's primary purpose is to provide diversified healthcare services to the community and is a provider of services under contractual arrangements with the Medicare and Medicaid programs as well as other third-party reimbursement arrangements. Together, OhioHealth MedCentral Mansfield Hospital, OhioHealth Marion General Hospital, OhioHealth O'Bleness Memorial Hospital, OhioHealth Grady Memorial Hospital, OhioHealth Hardin Memorial Hospital, OhioHealth MedCentral Shelby Hospital, and OhioHealth HomeReach are united in our mission to provide quality, compassionate healthcare and to be responsible stewards for our community's health. Even as the face of healthcare continues to change, the commitment of OhioHealth endures: ensuring quality care for everyone, regardless of their faith, race, age, or ability to pay. We never lose sight of our mission to "improve the health of those we serve" and our core values - compassion, excellence, stewardship, integrity, and diversity and inclusion. They continue to guide us in our work today. OhioHealth touches thousands of people, saves lives, improves health and makes futures a little brighter. Through our shared mission, vision and values, we touch more lives in Central Ohio and the surrounding communities than any other health system. As a system of faith-based, not-for-profit healthcare providers - together, we are OhioHealth.

In fiscal year 2020 (July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020), OhioHealth with its member hospitals and home care organizations, provided charity care and community benefit programs to a greater degree than ever. In total, OhioHealth provided $479.1 million in charity care and community benefit programs and services, reaching hundreds of thousands of people in the communities we serve. Of this total, $173.0 million was provided by OhioHealth MedCentral Mansfield Hospital, Marion General Hospital, O'Bleness Memorial Hospital, Grady Memorial Hospital, Hardin Memorial Hospital, OhioHealth MedCentral Shelby Hospital and other related Group entities. During FY2020 the filing organization's operations were significantly impacted by the challenges of the COVID-19 global pandemic as shelter-in-place orders and government mandates to suspend elective procedures were implemented in order to combat the outbreak. OhioHealth honored its commitment to the people of Ohio by providing care for patients and support to the communities served. Member hospitals provide medically necessary services without charge or at amounts less than its established rates to patients who meet certain criteria under its charity care policies. In assessing a patient's ability to pay, the member hospitals not only utilize generally recognized poverty income levels of the communities they serve, but also include certain cases where incurred charges are significant when compared to the patient's financial resources. Charity care is determined based on established policies, using patient income and assets to determine payment ability. OhioHealth provides community services intended to benefit the underserved and enhance the health status of the communities it serves. These services include 24 hour a day emergency rooms, community health screenings, forums for various support groups, health education classes, speakers and publications, hospice and medical research. OhioHealth has been able to achieve a greater impact in the community by partnering financial and human resources with other organizations. These expenditures include commitments to infant mortality reduction projects, pastoral care services, various civic sponsorships, and other community partnership programs. OhioHealth Corporation's total benefit to the community includes the cost of charity care (net of assistance received from the Hospital Care Assurance Program), unpaid cost of Medicaid, the cost of medical education programs as well as the cost of certain programs discussed above.

The OhioHealth Research & Innovation Institute (OHRI) is committed to providing the resources needed to advance patient care through clinical research and innovation. As one of the top 10 percent of research programs at non-profit, community-based healthcare systems, our program is a leader in researching new drugs, medical devices and procedures. Our access to leading edge clinical trials allows us to deliver improved outcomes and potentially save lives by giving our patients access to the therapies of the future today. OhioHealth's emphasis on research reflects our commitment to the community, our clinicians and, most of all, our patients. Our clinicians generate and pursue research and innovation ideas from their real-world experience caring for patients. We view clinical research as an extension of clinical care because it allows our physicians, nurses and other clinicians to provide leading-edge treatments to patients. Our areas of focus are industry research that expands patient access to groundbreaking clinical trials. These trials pave the way for better treatments. OHRI welcomes industry-sponsored research in partnership with drug and device companies looking to test their investigational products at a large facility associated with excellent clinicians. Academic research focuses on educating and training our physicians and clinicians with programs that develop their skills, knowledge and leadership in advancing healthcare. OhioHealth also provides an ideal setting for federal and foundation funded research that addresses the needs of the public. Innovation and commercialization supports OhioHealth physicians, clinicians and medical staff with their innovative ideas. Through its OhioHealth $5 million Innovation Development Fund, OHRI provides financial support and resources in all stages of product development and commercialization with the ultimate goal of improving patient care. Sponsored programs are initiatives that are funded by grant monies. Our finance experts have extensive experience in managing and reporting grant monies needed to fund important initiatives. Health equity programs bring healthcare programs and services to underserved communities and people such as Latina women, Amish and Mennonite communities, teenage mothers and the Appalachian region. The OhioHealth Research and Innovation Institute is vital to OhioHealth's recognition as a national leader in developing and advancing medical breakthroughs as well as meeting the needs of our community. Our Successes are 14 Years of Improving Care Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement For ten years, OhioHealth has been on the forefront of revolutionizing care for patients with aortic valve disease by leading successful clinical trials. In fact, our work has been integral in the FDA-approval of transcatheter aortic valve devices now being used to treat patients with aortic valve disease who had no other treatment options. MD Anderson Cancer Network As part of OhioHealth's collaboration with the MD Anderson Cancer Network, we are now participating in cancer clinical trials through the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Research across the region As our hospital system has continued to expand across the state, so have our research programs. We now offer clinical research at many of our outlying hospitals including OhioHealth Mansfield Hospital. First in human clinical trials For many years, most first in human clinical research trials have been conducted outside of the United States. However, a new concerted effort by the FDA to bring these leading edge trials back to the US has landed OhioHealth two first in human clinical trials in the past years - one of only three health systems in the country to achieve this due to our proven track record of leading safe and successful clinical trials. Meeting the needs of the underserved Through our health equity programs, we have provided access to care to many underserved communities including Appalachian, the Amish and Mennonite, Latina women and teen mothers. Susan G. Komen Grant Funding For fourteen years, we have received funding from the Susan G. Komen Foundation to support Proyecto Cancer del Seno in Latinas, the Latina Breast Cancer Project, which connects Latina women with breast cancer screening services and community education programs. Taking ideas from concept to market Our Innovation and Commercialization team has assisted our clinicians with more than 350 commercialization projects leading to 12 new product companies launched by OhioHealth staff and 9 commercialized products in use at OhioHealth sites.
