(IN CERTAIN CASES, HOSPITAL LOCATIONS WITH THE SAME TAX IDENTIFICATION AND STATE LICENSE NUMBER ARE LISTED AS ONE FACILITY ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, CONSISTENT WITH IRS REPORTING GUIDELINES.) BAYCARE WAS FOUNDED IN 1997 AFTER LEADERS OF SEVERAL OF THE AREA'S INDEPENDENT, NOT-FOR-PROFIT HOSPITALS BEGAN DISCUSSING WAYS TO ENSURE THAT HIGH-QUALITY, NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTH CARE WOULD REMAIN A VIABLE OPTION FOR THE TAMPA BAY COMMUNITY FOR DECADES TO COME. THE FOUNDING HOSPITALS AGREED TO SACRIFICE SOME OF THEIR AUTONOMY TO BE OPERATED BY A NEW ENTITY, BAYCARE. WITH $4.4 BILLION IN OPERATING REVENUE IN 2019, BAYCARE IS NOW A FULLY INTEGRATED HEALTH SYSTEM DEDICATED TO PROVIDING HIGH-QUALITY, COMPASSIONATE CARE TO ALL WE SERVE, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. BAYCARE HAS 3,482 HOSPITAL BEDS, 18 URGENT CARE CENTERS, 5 SURGERY CENTERS, 12 OUTPATIENT IMAGING FACILITIES, 124 PHYSICIAN PRACTICE LOCATIONS AND 33 WALK-IN CARE FACILITIES IN PUBLIX SUPERMARKETS. BAYCARE ANNUALLY GENERATES $8.5 BILLION IN ECONOMIC BENEFIT FOR THE REGION AND STATE. BAYCARE IS ONE OF THE LARGEST EMPLOYERS IN THE TAMPA BAY AREA, WITH 29,045 TEAM MEMBERS. DURING 2019, BAYCARE PROVIDED $647 MILLION IN BENEFITS FOR ITS EMPLOYEES, INCLUDING MORE THAN $193.8 MILLION IN RETIREMENT, $184.5 MILLION IN HEALTH INSURANCE, $155.7 MILLION IN PAID TIME OFF AND $52 MILLION IN EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT. IN 2019 BAYCARE RECEIVED NUMEROUS LOCAL, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL WORKPLACE AWARDS, INCLUDING FORTUNE MAGAZINE'S 100 BEST COMPANIES TO WORK FOR; BECKER'S HEALTHCARE'S 150 TOP PLACES TO WORK IN HEALTHCARE; AND TRAINING MAGAZINE'S GLOBAL, ALL-INDUSTRIES TRAINING TOP 125. IN 2019, BAYCARE PROVIDED $461 MILLION IN TOTAL COMMUNITY BENEFIT, INCLUDING $319 MILLION IN MEDICAID AND OTHER INCOME-BASED PROGRAMS, $103 MILLION IN TRADITIONAL CHARITY CARE AND $39 MILLION IN UNBILLED COMMUNITY SERVICES, ALL MEASURED IN UNREIMBURSED COSTS. ALSO IN 2019, BAYCARE LED AN UNPRECEDENTED COLLABORATION WITH OTHER AREA HOSPITAL SYSTEMS AND LOCAL DEPARTMENTS OF HEALTH TO CONDUCT AN IN-DEPTH COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) THAT DETERMINED THAT THE THREE MOST PRESSING HEALTH NEEDS IN THE WEST CENTRAL FLORIDA REGION ARE 1) MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE, 2) ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE SERVICES, AND 3) EXERCISE, NUTRITION AND WEIGHT. BAYCARE AND ITS CHNA PARTNERS FORMED THE ALL4HEALTHFL COLLABORATIVE TO CREATE PROGRAMS TO ADDRESS THOSE TOP HEALTH NEEDS. BAYCARE'S FINANCIAL STRENGTH, THE EFFICIENCIES GAINED FROM ITS OPERATING MODEL, ITS VISIONARY LEADERSHIP, THE HARD WORK OF ITS TEAM MEMBERS, AND ITS DETERMINATION TO PROVIDE EXCEPTIONAL CARE TO ITS PATIENTS HELPED BAYCARE REACH A RANKING IN THE TOP 20% OF LARGE U.S. HEALTH SYSTEMS FROM IBM WATSON HEALTH LAST YEAR. TWENTY-THREE YEARS AFTER IT WAS CREATED, BAYCARE IS ACHIEVING THE GOAL OF ITS FOUNDERS TO PRESERVE THE PROVISION OF NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTH CARE FOR THE COMMUNITIES OF THE TAMPA BAY REGION, AND IT IS FULFILLING ITS MISSION AS AN ORGANIZATION TO "IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF ALL WE SERVE THROUGH COMMUNITY-OWNED SERVICES THAT SET THE STANDARD FOR HIGH-QUALITY, COMPASSIONATE CARE."
