“It is the philosophy of the hospital that all staff including executive staff be compensated fairly for their work. Base salary levels, incentive/bonus programs and benefit plans shall take into account the local, regional and national markets to allow uhs hospitals to recruit, motivate, reward, recognize and retain highly talented executives with the skill sets required to fulfill its mission. The executive compensation program must focus executives' attention on uhs's strategic initiatives and mission critical performance objectives that will lead to the organization's and system's success. To carry out this compensation philosophy, the uhs hospitals (which includes chenango memorial hospital) board of directors' executive compensation committee reviews annually a comprehensive report prepared by an external executive compensation consulting firm, sullivan cotter associates to determine the appropriateness of the base and total compensation levels for the senior management staff. This annual report focuses on two key areas; 1) the competitiveness of the senior management staff's base and total compensation (including benefits) vs. National benchmark data for comparably sized health care systems and hospitals (based upon 'total revenue' metrics), and 2) a 'reasonableness assessment' consistent with u.s. Treasury department regulations governing executive compensation for not-for-profit organizations. The data from this report assists the executive compensation committee in determining the appropriateness of the senior managements' current base and total compensation levels and the need for any adjustments for that calendar year.”

“The organization provides form 1023, form 990 and other information required under internal revenue service regulations to the public, upon request.”

“Chenango memorial hospital purchased the podiatry practice that had been in norwich for 30 years. The podiatrists (2) are approaching retirement and chenango memorial hospital wanted to ensure podiatry services remained in the county. The long term plan was to add podiatry surgeries to our list of services so patients wouldn't need to travel to binghamton or elsewhere. That initiative was accomplished when a podiatry surgeon joined cmh in june 2018. Chenango county has one of the highest rates of diabetes in nys so cmh felt it essential that we retain this service for those particular patients. The practice has already experienced marked growth (5,228 visits vs budget of 3,200) and is expected to have over 6,000 visits in 2019.”
