ACHIEVING A STATE BUDGET REASONABLE TO NSHC MEMBER HOSPITALS WAS A MAJOR FOCUS IN THE EARLY MONTHS OF 2023. EFFORTS RESULTED IN INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT MEDICAID RATE INCREASES, CONTINUED SUPPORTIVE FUNDING FOR FINANCIALLY DISTRESSED HOSPITALS, AND INVESTMENT IN HEALTHCARE FACILITY MODERNIZATION. ADVOCACY EFFORTS WERE UNSUCCESSFUL IN SECURING A MANAGED REFORM KNOWN AS "PAY AND REVIEW AND A REPEAL OF THE MEDICAID PHARMACY BENEFIT THAT SHIFTED FROM MANAGED CARE PLANS TO THE STATE'S PHARMACY PLAN. DURING THE POST BUDGET SEASON, NSHC CONTINUED ITS WORK WITH LEGISLATORS, KEY REGULATORS, AND DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH LEADERSHIP TO RETAIN A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR HOSPITALS. ACHIEVEMENTS INCLUDED A VETO, FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW, OF AN EXPANSION OF THE WRONGFUL DEATH STATUTE AND HELPING MEMBERS UNDERSTAND AND COMPLY WITH THE HEALTH EQUITY IMPACT ASSESSMENT LAW THAT TOOK EFFECT IN JUNE 2023. NSHC CONTINUED TO COORDINATE POPULATION HEALTH ACTIVITIES VIA THE INITIATIVE KNOWN AS THE LONG ISLAND HEALTH COLLABORATIVE AND ENROLLMENT ASSISTANCE VIA THE NYSDOH AGED, BLIND AND DISABLED GRANT. FEDERAL: NSHC AND ITS MEMBER HOSPITALS, ALONG WITH THE HEALTHCARE ASSOCIATION OF NEW YORK STATE AND NEW YORK'S ALLIED REGIONAL HOSPITAL ASSOCIATIONS AND THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION, CONTINUED TO URGE THE CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION'S ASSISTANCE WITH WORKFORCE SHORTAGES AND FLEXIBILITIES, BETTER MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENT, AND ELIMINATION OF ANY HARMFUL CUTS TO THE 340B DRUG PRICING PROGRAM. ADVOCACY EFFORTS RESULTED AT YEAR'S END IN A DELAY OF THE HARMFUL MEDICAID DISPROPORTIONATE SHARE HOSPITAL (DSH) CUT FOR TWO YEARS. HOWEVER, THAT LEGISLATION CAME WITH A MEDICARE SITE-NEUTRAL PAYMENT CUT RELATED TO PHYSICIAN ADMINISTRATION OF DRUGS IN OFF-CAMPUS HOSPITAL OUTPATIENT DEPARTMENTS. THIS WAS JUST ONE OF SEVERAL SITE NEUTRAL THREATS THAT THE ASSOCIATION AND ITS MEMBER HOSPITALS FACED IN 2023. DUE TO ADVOCACY EFFORTS, TELEHEALTH FLEXIBILITIES AND MEDICARE'S ACUTE HOSPITAL CARE AT HOME PROGRAM WILL CONTINUE THROUGH 2024, DESPITE THE COVID 19 NATIONAL EMERGENCY AND THE PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY DECLARATIONS ENDING IN MAY 2023. THE END OF THESE EMERGENCY DECLARATIONS BROUGHT A STOP TO MANY WORKFORCE FLEXIBILITIES AND OTHER POLICIES THAT EASED HOSPITALS' REPORTING BURDENS DURING THE PANDEMIC. 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 22 22 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 X MARIA GALLINA 6314353000 800 VETERANS MEMORIAL HWY 150 HAUPPAUGE NY 11788 MR ROBERT CHALONER CHAIR (TO 6/23/23) 1.00 1.10 X X 0 0 0 MS CAROL GOMES CHAIR (AS OF 6/23/23) 1.00 1.10 X X 0 0 0 DR PATRICK O'SHAUGHNESSY MD BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.10 X 0 0 0 MS KERRI A SCANLON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.10 X 0 0 0 MS RUTH HENNESSEY BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.10 X 0 0 0 DR NICK FITTERMAN MD BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.10 X 0 0 0 MR RICHARD T MARGULIS BOARD MEMBER (TO 6/30/23) 1.00 1.10 X 0 0 0 MR MARC ADLER BOARD MEMBER (AS OF 6/30/23) 1.00 1.10 X 0 0 0 MR KEVIN MCGEACHY BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.10 X 0 0 0 MR JOSEPH MANOPELLA BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.10 X 0 0 0 DR ADHI SHARMA MD BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.10 X 0 0 0 DR ANTHONY BOUTIN MD BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.10 X 0 0 0 MR JONATHAN SENDACH BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.10 X 0 0 0 MR JEFFREY KRAUT BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.10 X 0 0 0 DR JOSEPH GRECO MD BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.10 X 0 0 0 MS AMY LOEB RN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.10 X 0 0 0 MR MICHAEL FENER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.10 X 0 0 0 MS DONNA MORAVICK BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.10 X 0 0 0 MR JAMES O'CONNOR BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.10 X 0 0 0 MR DECLAN DOYLE BOARD MEMBER (AS OF 8/16/23) 1.00 1.10 X 0 0 0 DR CHARLES L LUCORE MD BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.10 X 0 0 0 MR CHRISTOPHER NELSON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.10 X 0 0 0 MR PAUL CONNOR III BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.10 X 0 0 0 MR JASON TAN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.10 X 0 0 0 MR FREDERIC WEINBAUM BOARD MEMBER (AS OF 6/24/23) 1.00 1.10 X 0 0 0 MS MARIA GALLINA CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER 22.50 1.88 X 124186 6536 41168 MS STACY VILLAGRAN VP/CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER 26.25 1.88 X 161628 0 24702 MS WENDY DARWELL PRESIDENT/CEO 16.88 1.88 X 204382 0 24145 JANINE LOGAN VP, COMMUNICATIONS & POP HEALTH 15.00 0.00 X 110044 0 22494 600240 6536 112509 4 0 0 1 HEALTHCARE ASSOCIATION OF NEW YORK STATE ONE EMPIRE DRIVE RENSSELAER NY 12144 MANAGEMENT FEES 1774644 1 1378368 909874 171510 2459752 ADMINISTRATIVE FEES 561000 64044 64044 64044 23708 23708 MISC INCOME 900099 11343 11343 EARNINGS OF EQUITY INV 900099 -12567 -12567 -1224 2546280 51477 0 35051 1765118 20000 60665 34500 31652 27815 199345 22240 5267 31471 DIRECT GRANT EXPENSES 88749 MISCELLANEOUS 10539 REFERENCE MATERIALS 10153 EQUIP RENTAL & MAINT 8956 2316470 88234 31866 1238596 1449866 149930 199846 12816 8943 17458 20345 272969 260888 17348 12081 287200 111361 1811582 1834308 253124 247215 508158 306983 761282 554198 X 1050300 1280110 1050300 1280110 1811582 1834308 229810 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1 0 0 20898 20898 0 252071 239990 12081 12081 RIGHT-OF-USE OPERATING (ROU) LEASES, NET 68587 SECURITY DEPOSITS 7742 OTHER ASSETS 35032 111361 OPERATING LEASE LIABILITY 76080 OTHER LIABILITIES 15000 DUE TO AFFILIATES 199082 LONG TERM LIABILITY 16821 306983 X 2546280 0 2546280 0 2546280 2316470 0 2316470 0 2316470 PART X, LINE 2: MANAGEMENT HAS EVALUATED THE ORGANIZATION'S TAX POSITIONS AND CONCLUDED THAT THE ORGANIZATION HAS NOT TAKEN ANY UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS THAT REQUIRE ADJUSTMENT TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO COMPLY WITH THE PROVISIONS OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS CODIFICATION 740.
