PROJECT SUMMARY, Continued

highways (Route 3to Lincoln Tunnel, New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway) as-well-as bus and rail lmes (the recently opened Frank Lautenberg station). This transportation hubprovides access throughout the tri-state New York metropolitan area. As aresult of the locationSecaucus has seen agrowth in condo development and has become a location of choice foryoung executives commuting to Manhattan. The facility is located inthe HackensackMeadowlands which is home to many large international companies, the MetLife SportsComplex, as-well-as the soon to be developed American Dream complex. It should be noted thatMHMC has negotiated aNon Irrevocable Letter Of Intent (LOI) with the developers of theAmerican Dream Mall complex to provide certain healthcare services as well as providing anetwork for the employees ofthe retail stores that will occupy the mall. This LOI and its termsare part ofthe assets that will be acquired. MHMC's Primary Core Service Area includesLyndhurst, West New York, North Bergen, Union City, Bayonne, Secaucus, Hoboken andportions of Jersey City. The secondary service areas of Meadowlands include Kearny HarrisonNorth Arlington, Rutherford and East Rutherford. MHMC serves arelatively highly insured 'population.

The hospitals in Hudson County and the distance from Meadowlands Hospital Medical Center(Meadowlands) are as follows:

Hospital Distance from Meadowlands Travel Time

from MeadowlandsBayonne Medical Center 12.78 miles 22 minutesChrist Hospital 6m miles 14 minutesJersey City Medical Center 8.36 miles 17 minutesPalisade Medical Center 6.34 miles 13 minutesHoboken University Medical Center 5.86 miles 13 minutes

Since the application is limited to achange of ownership, with no change in the scope of beds orservices, there will be no impact on any of the area hospitals as aresult of this project. Theredoes not appear to be a duplication ofavailable services in the service area.

The applicant does not anticipate any changes in the administrative functions of the Hospital andefficiencies will be realized through the continued availability of acute care services at the existinglocation, as opposed to closure ofthe Hospital. Acopy ofthe current and anticipated organizationalchart is mcluded in the application.

MHA, LLC has owned and operated Meadowlands since 2010. Prior to ownership by MHAMeadowlands had suffered losses of approximately $4.7 million for 2008 and $5 8million for2009. Moreover, the pace of such losses had accelerated. Liberty Health had been committed tofinding an alternative to closure to meet its accepted obligation to the residents of the area servedby Meadowlands. Since 2010, MHA has successfully stabilized the operations at Meadowlands.

Prior to the sale to MHA, Liberty entertained proposals from other potential purchasers ofMeadowlands. The proposal from MHA, LLC was viewed as the best alternative since itincluded keeping Meadowlands open as ageneral acute care hospital and was economicallysuperior to theothers.

FEB 07

The hospital is served by aNJ Transit Bus route with stop BG5 at Meadowlands Parkway andCove Court. Also, train service to Lautenberg Station and aconnection on NJT bus #129 to stopBG5.

Meadowlands has Spanish-speaking staff for translation and has access to alanguageinterpretation service.

This application is limited to a transfer ofownership ofMeadowlands in Secaucus. It is theintent of the prospective buyer to maintain all existing beds and services currently provided byMeadowlands. No significant changes in the physical plant or equipment is anticipated by theapplicant, however the applicant has made a commitment to invest aminimum of$3 million infacility and equipment upgrades within the first 60 months ofownership. Acopy of the facilityFloor Plans are included in the application.

Meadowlands will be owned by NJMHMC, LLC. NJMHMC, LLC is aNew Jersey LimitedLiability Corporation with Yan Moshe as the Sole Member. Mr. Moshe's address is 32Farmstead Lane in Brookville, New York. Mr. Moshe also owns Excel Surgery Center inHackensack, New Jersey.

The present owners have had a successful strategy to develop a "Center ofExcellence forOrthopedic Surgery on both an inpatient and outpatient basis ". NJMHMC, LLC will continuethis strategy along with committing to operate all current services, but in addition, plans toincrease utilization and occupancy levels in all other service areas. In preparing the projections,itwas determined that aconservative approach be employed. As such, no volume increases wereincluded and only athree percent (3% )price increase was included for each projection period .

Asummary of certain anticipated steps the new owner plans to employ to accomplish additionalperformance is a follows:

Recruit additional primary care physicians. This strategy will lead to additional medicalservices utilization as-well-as additional referrals for surgical services including but notlimited to the current spinal cases.

Meet with managed care and commercial insurance carriers to develop an appropriate in-network strategy. For example, it is believed that an appropriate strategy will lead toadditional utilization especially since the hospital will be one of two remaining in-network providers in Hudson County for a major carrier.

The appropriate in-network strategy will increase our outpatient private referral volumesfor Lab and Radiology Services,

Develop arelationship with the North Bergen FQHC to provide OB services for theirclients.

Project Description

Meadowlands is located in Secaucus, New Jersey in Northwestern Hudson County, the mostdenselypopulated county in New Jersey. Access to Meadowlands is relatively easy with Z orhighways (Route 3to Lincoln Tunnel, New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway) as-hfh'ZnZ andmiUTS (tHu teCTly °P™d Frank Lautenberg station). This transportationhubprovides access throughout the tri-state New York metropolitan area. As aresult ofthelocation Secaucus has seen agrowth in condo development and has become alocation ofchoicefor young executives commuting to Manhattan. Thefacility is located in theHackensack Meadowlands which is home to many large international companies, the MetLifeZ^^TmuI^'u tke S°°n f° be devd°ped1America» Dream complex. It should benoted that MHMC has negotiated aNon Irrevocable Letter OfIntent (LOI) with thedevelopers ofthe American Dream Mall complex to provide certain healthcare services as wellas providing anetworkfor the employees ofthe retail stores that will occupy the mall. ThisLOI and its terms arepart ofthe assets that will be acquired. MHMC's Primary Core ServiceArea includes Lyndhurst, West New York, North Bergen, Union City, Bayonne, Secaucus,Hoboken andportions ofJersey City.

The applicant does not anticipate any changes in the administrativefunctions ofthe Hospitaland efficiencies will be realized through the continued availability ofacute care services at theexisting location, as opposed to closure ofthe Hospital

Thepresent owners have had asuccessful strategy to develop a"Center ofExcellence forOrthopedic Surgery on both an inpatient and outpatient basis ". NJMHMC LLC willcontinue this strategy along with committing to operate all current services, but in addition,plans to increase utilization and occupancy levels in all other service areas. In preparing theprojections, it was determined that aconservative approach be employed As such, no volumeincreases were included and only athree percent (3%) price increase was includedfor eachprojection period. J

Asummary ofcertain anticipated steps the new owner plans to employ to accomplishadditionalperformance is afollows:

• Recruit additionalprimary care physicians. This strategy willleadto additionalmedical services utilization as-well-as additional referralsfor surgical servicesincluding but not limitedto the currentspinal cases.

• Meet with managed care and commercial insurance carriers to develop an appropriatein- network strategy. For example, it is believed that an appropriate strategy will lead toadditional utilization especially since the hospital will beone oftwo remaining in-network providers in Hudson Countyfor a major carrier.

• The appropriate in-network strategy will increase our outpatientprivate referralvolumesfor Lab and Radiology Services,

• Develop a relationship with the North Bergen FQHC toprovide OB servicesfor theirclients.

Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability isrepresented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpretedroughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin oferror (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject tononsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in thesetables.

The age dependency ratio is derived by dividingthe combined under-18 and 65-and-over populations by the 18-to-64 population and multiplying by100.

The old-age dependency ratio is derived by dividing the population 65 and over by the 18-to-64 population and multiplying by 100.

The child dependency ratio is derived by dividing the population under 18 by the 18-to-64 population and multiplying by 100.

The standards that Iam compelled to use in evaluating this application are setforth in statute (N.J.S.A. 28:2H-1 §tsegjand by administrative rule (N.J.A.C 833) Imust besatisfied that the application submitted by MHA LLC isconsistent wilh thoserequirements. Atransfer ofownership ofan entire general hospital and a transfer thatwill result in a new Medicare provider number for the hospitals involved in the transferwas subject to the full review certificate of need process. N.J.A.C. 8:33-3 3(a)1 For thepurposes of the review, the application was considered a transfer of ownership of alicensed facility currently offering health care services and not a reduction, elimination,or relocation of a health care service. Therefore, for the reasons that follow IamffJ?ir^in9LWllh concfitic,ns tn® application submitted for the transfer of ownership ofMHMC to MHA LLC. Inote for the record that my decision to approve this CNapplication is consistent with the recommendation of the Stale Health Planning Board(SHPB) which recommended approval of CN# FR 100201-09-01 with conditions, at itsSeptember 30, 2010, meeting. In issuing this decision 1reviewed the CN application forthe transfer of ownership of MHMC, completeness questions, the transcripts of thepublic neanngs, wntten comments, exhibits, petitions, the Department of Health andSenior Services' recommendations, and transcripts of SHPB and Community HealthAsset Protection Act (CHAPA) meetings, and the SHPB recommendations. Thereferenced matenals are incorporated and made a part of this final decision.

N;J-S.A. 26:2H-8, aswell asN.J.A.C, 8:33-4.9(a), provides for the issuance of acertificate of need only where the action proposed in the application for such certificateis necessary toprovide required health care In the areatobe served can beeconomically accomplished and maintained, will not have an adverse economic orfinancial impact on the delivery of health services in the region orstatewide and willcontribute tothe orderly development of adequate and effective health care services Inmaking such determinations, Imust take into consideration: (a) the availability of(acuities or services which may serve asalternatives orsubstitutes, (b) the need forspecial equipment and services in the area, (c) the possible economies andImprovement in services to be anticipated from the operation of joint central servicesd) the adequacy of financial resources and sources of present and future revenues (e)

the availability of sufficient manpower in the several professional disciplines and (f)such other tactors as may be established by regulation.

... wAs Part of ,he review Process, the SHPB is also required to hold at least onepubic hearing in the service area of the health care facility within 30 days of theC!nw Ln9cdf'fd?Mp,ete by the Department. Apublic hearing took place atSecaucus H.gh School on August 26, 2010 with approximately 150 people attending offa Provided verbal testimony. Most of the speakers expressed concerns aboutthe applicant s lack of experience in operating a hospital; the for-profit status of theapplicant; the applicant s lack ot a long-range written commitment to keeping the facilityopen as a hospital; the lack of a written commitment to retaining most of the currentIhiw5!! I*™*™ °f funds away from the immunity and hospital to investors;and the retention of contracts with insurers. The Department and the SHPB reviewed

in Hudson County or the surrounding counties. I also believe that without this action,the financial conditions atMHMC under the ownership of Liberty would place thecontinued operation of both JerseyCity Medical Center and MHMC at risk and couldeventually lead to the closure of MHMC, closure or reduction of services, or bankruptcy.There is no existing data to suggest that this transfer of ownership would changeMHMC relationship with the other Hudson County hospitals or adversely impact thehealthstatus of the community.

Finally, Iacknowledge that MHMC has had a long standing commitment to theresidents in its service areasand believe that this approval will better enable MHMCunder their new ownership to maintain and enhance their commitment to the communityinto the foreseeable future. Ialso note that the applicant's business model andmarketing strategy could stimulate an Increase in patient volume and, in turn, return thehospital to financial stability. For the reasons set forth in this letter and noting theapproval of the SHPB, Iam approving MHA LLCs' application for the transfer ofownership for MHMC subject to the following conditions, which Inote were accepted bya representative of the applicant while addressing the SHPB:
