Elliot Health Systems

“Jeffrey Rooney, who served as Chief Financial Officer until January 2017, and Joseph Ingold, who took over as Chief Financial Officer at that time, were both contracted employees through Martinville Dunn, LLC and Ingold & Associates, LLC, respectively. Both LLCs are unrelated to Elliot Health System and were compensated by The Elliot Hospital of the City of Manchester, a related organization. Compensation in the amount of $645,970 was paid to Martinville, Dunn, LLC by the Hospital for Mr. Rooney's services. The total compensation paid to Mr. Ingold's LLC for his services, both as CFO and in a non-officer capacity prior to his role as CFO, during 2016 was $325,088. Additionally, Mr. Rooney received a housing allowance in the amount of $36,854 during 2016 from the Hospital and Mr. Ingold received a similar housing allowance in the amount of $43,292 during the calendar year. As the fees paid to each LLC were paid for services to the entire related party system, an accurate breakdown of the fees relative to the filing organization is not readily determinable. In accordance with IRS instructions, these fees have been reported as compensation on Form 990, Part VII-A and Schedule J, Part II and further disclosed in Schedule O for Form 990, Part VI, Line 3. See also Schedule L.”

“The compensation committee of the Board utilizes outside compensation consultants to evaluate the salaries for the CEO, CFO, and COO. The consultants utilize their internal data along with national and local benchmark data from the industry to develop salary levels. Recommendations of the consultant are reviewed by the compensation committee, who recommends compensation levels to the full Board for approval. An outside consulting firm is also used by the organization to review the compensation of the remainder of the vice presidents. Again, national and local benchmarks for salaries are consulted to determine salary levels for these positions.”
