(PROMEDICA), A MISSION-BASED, LOCALLY OWNED, NONPROFIT HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATION HIGHLY FOCUSED ON ACHIEVING CORE VALUES. HEADQUARTERED IN TOLEDO, OHIO, PROMEDICA SERVES 28 STATES ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND IS ONE OF THE NATION'S LEADING HEALTH SYSTEMS . OUR STEWARDSHIP OF RESOURCES HAS ENABLED US TO WISELY INVEST IN PATIENT-CENTERED CARE, ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY, INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS, AND FAMILY-ORIENTED FACILITIES THAT HELP TO ENSURE PATIENTS AND AREA RESIDENTS HAVE EQUAL ACCESS TO HIGH-QUALITY, SAFE CARE IN THE MOST APPROPRIATE SETTING, REGARDLESS OF PATIENTS' ABILITY TO PAY. ACCREDITED BY THE JOINT COMMISSION, PROMEDICA FOSTORIA COMMUNITY HOSPITAL (FCH) IS A 25-BED, ACUTE CARE HOSPITAL IN NORTHWEST OHIO. THE HOSPITAL CELEBRATED 90 YEARS IN THE COMMUNITY IN 2020. IN ADDITION TO OFFERING EMERGENCY CARE, GENERAL SURGERY, AND INPATIENT CARE, FCH HAS A BROAD RANGE OF OUTPATIENT SERVICES THAT INCLUDE CARDIAC AND PULMONARY REHABILITATION; SPECIAL IMAGING; RADIOLOGY AND LABORATORY SERVICES; PHYSICAL, OCCUPATIONAL AND SPEECH THERAPIES.

ADDITIONALLY, FCH'S CANCER AND INFUSION CENTER IMPROVES PATIENT ACCESS AND ENSURES A COMFORTABLE SETTING FOR CANCER PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES. THE FCH DIABETES EDUCATION PROGRAM IS RECOGNIZED BY THE AMERICAN DIABETES ASSOCIATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NATIONAL STANDARDS AND HELPS PATIENTS LEARN TO MANAGE THEIR CARE AND PREVENT COMPLICATIONS FROM THE CHRONIC DISEASE. THE HOSPITAL RECEIVED ACCREDITATION FROM THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF RADIOLOGY FOR MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING. FCH ALSO PARTNERS WITH PROMEDICA HOSPICE TO PROVIDE INPATIENT HOSPICE CARE SO THAT PATIENTS WHO ARE TOO ILL TO RETURN HOME OR GO TO AN INPATIENT HOSPICE FACILITY MAY CONTINUE RECEIVING EXPERT, COMPASSIONATE CARE IN THEIR LOCAL HOSPITAL NEAR FRIENDS AND FAMILY. IN 2024, FCH WAS RECOGNIZED WITH THE 2024 PERFORMANCE LEADERSHIP AWARDS FOR EXCELLENCE IN OUTCOMES.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE REPRESENTS THE COST TO PROVIDE SERVICE AND DOES NOT INCLUDE THE COSTS FOR ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF TO BAD DEBT FOR PATIENTS WHO DO NOT PAY THEIR BILLS. FCH COST OF BAD DEBT FOR 2024 WAS $3,127,000 . THIS AMOUNT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AMOUNT OF $12,403,000 NOTED ABOVE.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J
