“And enforcement of conflicts the organization's process for monitoring and enforcing conflicts of interest purpose and scope: individual members of the board of directors (board) of nuvance health (nuvance health) and its duly authorized committees (committees) must perform their responsibilities consistent with fiduciary obligations to nuvance health and in a manner that supports the charitable purposes of nuvance health. This conflict of interest policy (the policy) establishes board standards of conduct that reflect and supplement the standards established by federal or state law or other policies of the board. This policy covers each member of the nuvance health board of directors, non-employed nuvance health officers (if any), and non-employed committee members (for convenience, all referred to herein as directors). This policy also covers any candidate for a director position. General statements regarding director conduct and conflict of interest: each director must act with honesty, fairness and integrity in all aspects of his or her conduct as a member of the board or its committees. This requires, in part, that the director always exercise his or her impartial, independent judgment on behalf of nuvance health in a manner the director reasonably believes to be in the best interests of nuvance health. Each director also has an obligation to assist nuvance health to operate exclusively for charitable purposes in recognition of its non-profit and tax-exempt status. If a director acts in pursuit of a self- interest, or for benefit of any party other than nuvance health, or otherwise intentionally allows the assets of nuvance health to be used for private rather than public interest, the director acts inconsistent with his or her fiduciary obligation to nuvance health and its obligation to operate exclusively for charitable purposes. This policy assists nuvance health and its directors to comply with acceptable standards of conduct. The policy describes potential conflicts of interest and dualities of interest, provides opportunities for directors to disclose potential conflicts of interest and dualities of interest, and establishes a framework for evaluating and managing potential conflicts of interest and dualities of interest that may, under certain circumstances, be actual conflicts of interest. Nuvance health embraces the view that it may be adverse to its interests to require that all directors be free from all potential and actual conflicts of interest or dualities of interest to serve nuvance health. Nuvance health is best governed by civic and business leaders who, by virtue of their breadth of responsibilities and relationships outside of nuvance health, may from time to time identify matters to be disclosed and evaluated under this policy. Similarly, nuvance health intends to include on the board members of management as well as members of the affiliated medical staffs to obtain critically valuable viewpoints on the operations, quality and safety of the hospitals and other healthcare facilities operated by nuvance health. If a board members potential or actual conflict of interest or duality of interest may be successfully navigated through disclosure, evaluation, and management under this policy, nuvance health desires and invites the continued participation of such members on its board. Duty to disclose: directors have an ongoing and continual obligation to disclose promptly to nuvance health potential conflicts of interest. This disclosure may be accomplished through one or more of the following: - meeting disclosure. Prior to the start of any board or committee meeting, each director must disclose to the board or committee the existence of any potential conflict of interest relating to any impending action before the board or committee and all relevant and related material facts. - ad hoc disclosure. If a director becomes aware of a potential conflict of interest between meetings of the board or committee, th”

“And enforcement of conflicts - continued - the chair of the board or committee may, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate all alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. - after exercising appropriate diligence (including evaluating the alternatives raised by the disinterested person or committee described above), the board or committee (excluding the director with the conflict of interest) must determine the probability and advantage of a transaction or arrangement without a conflict of interest. - if an alternative transaction or arrangement is not reasonably attainable, the board or committee must determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the best interest of nuvance health and for its own benefit. - except as otherwise provided, the director with the conflict of interest shall be precluded from participating in any issue presented to the board or committee involving the transaction or arrangement. - in circumstances where a director has a significant, ongoing and irreconcilable conflict of interest and where such personal or outside interest, relationship or responsibility significantly impedes the directors ability to carry out his/her fiduciary responsibility to nuvance health, resignation from the board or the conflicting interest may be appropriate or required. Record of proceedings: the minutes of the board and committees that consider any conflict of interest matter raised by or regarding any director shall include: - the names of the director(s) associated with potential conflict of interest; the nature of the potential conflict of interest; whether the board determined that there was an actual conflict of interest; the considerations upon which the board based its decision; and how each director voted on the matter; and - the names of all persons present for discussion or votes relating to the underlying proposed action and the general content of the discussions.”

“Review & approval process - officers & key employees compensation for other officers and key employees: nuvance healths executive total rewards philosophy is designed to align with the companys strategic direction, and to reinforce its core mission, vision and values. In order to achieve its overall performance objectives, nuvance health provides total rewards programs that recognize executives for performing work well to ensure the achievement of company goals. These programs serve to promote the attraction, engagement, and retention of talented executives throughout their careers with nuvance health. The total rewards programs are designed to be market competitive, compliant with regulatory guidelines reflective of best practices, and differentiated to create strong competitive advantage. Total rewards programs are reviewed on an ongoing basis to ensure continued market competitiveness, relevant value to executives, and fiscal responsibility. Total rewards for nuvance health executives consists of key components of compensation and benefits. Overall executive rewards program will emphasize performance-based elements, whereby targeted levels of compensation will only be achieved if the organization and individual achieve stretch goals and objectives. Based on the labor markets for talent for executive roles, nuvance health will utilize a weighted blend of both national comparably-sized health care provider market data with a +30% geographic differential applied (differential to be validated on a periodic basis) at two-thirds weight and national comparably-sized general industry data, for identified roles where skill sets overlap at one-third weight. Geographic differential reflects the observed and reported compensation differential between nuvance healths operating region and the broader national health care provider market. Nuvance healths total rewards philosophy and practices are targeted at the 50th percentile of the relevant market for base salary, and 75th percentile for total cash and total direct (where available) compensation elements if target performance is achieved under variable compensation programs. Nuvance healths committee has discretion to position individual levels above or below this targeted competitive positioning, based on such factors as positioning to market, high demand skillsets and difficult to fill or critical to the organizations strategy and success. Our governance promotes consistency and equity; provides clarity and guidance to decision-makers; ensures standard processes and procedures for assessing, calibrating, administering, and delivering effective total rewards throughout the nuvance health system. Oversight and governance of the executive compensation philosophy and programs for eligible executives/disqualified individuals (currently ceo, president and tiers 1 and 2) will be at the compensation committee of the board level, and will follow a structured and rigorous process to ensure compliance with intermediate sanctions under irs guidelines.”

“Danbury hospital is part of a premier patient-centered system of care dedicated to improving the health and well-being of our patients and the surrounding communities of western connecticut and nearby new york state. As a regional medical center and university teaching hospital affiliated with the university of vermont college of medicine and yale university school of medicine. Danbury hospital provides a dynamic environment for teaching and research for our graduate medical education training programs. The hospital received accreditation with commendation from the joint commission, and is approved to sponsor residency/fellowship programs by the accreditation council of graduate medical education. Danbury hospital sponsors residency training in internal medicine, primary care, obstetrics and gynecology, surgery, pathology, dentistry, and a fellowship in cardiovascular disease. Residents and fellows are exposed to a broad range of clinical and didactic experiences throughout their training, and have many opportunities to present at local and national meetings as well as publish original research. A distinctive component of our graduate medical education training program is our global health track. Global health offers the opportunity for residents to perform rotations in the dominican republic, russia, uganda, vietnam and zimbabwe. Research: state-of-the-art collaborative precision medicine program is to be initiated at wchn. The program would link gynecologic/oncology patient clinical care and genomic information to improved treatment and surveillance. This is the future of health care where patient care would evolve from a one-size-fits-all to a more personalized approach towards disease diagnosis and treatment. We hope to expand this approach to the diagnosis and treatment of disease in other therapeutic areas such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The wchn biomedical research institute had added a new research group, laboratory for translational research, to its current departments. This research group is being directed by dr. John martignetti, md, phd, associate professor at the icahn school of medicine at mount sinai. Dr. Martignetti has established a bench to bedside approach to a personalized medicine program for ovarian cancer at mount sinai. The personalized approach to ovarian cancer patient care would improve outcomes as it would link patient clinical care and genomic information to improve detection, surveillance, prognosis and treatment. We have put together all the necessary components of a biorepository that will be part of a core program to support research programs aimed at biomarker discovery, validation and development of novel therapeutics. The biorepository will house frozen patients tissue, patient derived cell lines and blood/plasma for research purposes.
