  3. UofL Milestones 1970 – State system – “another mouth” 1997 – Watershed event for UofL – HB1 –public agenda • “Premier nationally recognized research university” • Build new economic clusters/replace lost manufacturing jobs • Work to improve healthcare in Kentucky This merger allows UofL to continue to achieve HB 1goals

  4. Stark Reality! University of Louisville has experienced 11 Budget cuts in 11 years So, We (UofL) developed Seven Strategies to Achieve our legislative mandate: • Continuing re-engineering of processes and expense management • Aggressively improving balance sheet management, with an emphasis on converting underperforming assets • Increasing contract research and commercialization income • Creating private sector partnerships • Enhanced fund raising • Being creative in expanding the research mission through innovative financing tools like the tax increment financing plan • Increasing clinical income to support education and research

  5. Why is Clinical Income Important To Our Teaching/Research Mission UofL School of Medicine Total Budget = $351 million $28 million of total SOM budget is state appropriation Generating clinical income is critical to supporting the teaching and research mission of UofL

  6. While this merger is critical to UofL achieving the legislative mandate you have given us neither UofL nor the School of Medicine are merging!

  7. Who is merging? • UMC • (dba University Hospital/JGBCC)

  8. UMC with JHSMH & SJHS A Quick History 1970 – UofL joins state higher education system • 1970 – UofL joins state higher education system • 1970-1983 – Medical education programs at Louisville General Hospital • 1978 -- Construction of University Hospital begins • 1983 – University Hospital opens, E0-83-102/Humana management contract to operate University Hospital • 1993 – Humana – Galen – Columbia – HCA • 1995 – Mr. Scott announced move to Nashville • 1996 – UMC created (Jewish/Norton/UL) • Each member organization had veto authority over board action (e.g. January ‘07 – July ‘07) • 2007 – Norton/Jewish withdraw from UMC control hospital • 2008 – Community based board created to govern UMC

  9. UMC 2008 – Strategic/financial 5 year plan • Conclusions • With large uninsured population (21%) UMC could not continue to operate in the future as it was • Cut uninsured care; and/or • Cut clinical support to UofL SOM (which would result in fewer services)

  10. Options Considered by UMC Board • Go alone • Partnerships • Private hospital chain (give up academic control) • Norton • Jewish • Program areas (5) • Two way merger • Saint Joseph/CHI (Jan. 2010) • 73 hospitals/19 states • States with healthcare problems • Commitment to Kentucky

  11. Vision Statement We are the premier, integrated comprehensive health system in the Commonwealth known for efficiently providing the highest quality care and service close to home; reducing the incidence of disease; and eliminating inequities in access throughout the communities we serve. With unmatched geographic reach, we are differentiated by our faith based and academic heritage, developing the best next generation of healthcare professionals, and for being the fastest in translating research from bench to bedside. Because we are the most vital nationally recognized health system, we are the go-to organization for any major health policy initiatives in the State. JHHS/JHSMH/SJHS/CHI/UL/UMC
