It applies to all "interested persons" of st. Peter's hospital foundation, which includes directors, principal officers, key employees, and members of committees with board-delegated powers. Interested persons are expected to discharge their duties in a manner the person reasonably believes to be in the best interests of st. Peter's hospital foundation and to avoid situations involving a conflict of interest. On an annual basis, interested persons are required to complete a conflict of interest disclosure statement and to affirm their receipt of the conflict of interest policy, compliance with its requirements, and agree to notify the organization of changes impacting their annual disclosure in accordance with the policy. The annual disclosures are provided to the integrity and compliance officer, who collaborates with internal legal counsel to assess the conflict and identify a conflict management plan when necessary. Additionally, the integrity and compliance officer along with legal counsel prepares a report for the board chair and ceo. A summary of potential conflicts is reviewed with the board of directors of st. Peter's hospital foundation (or a delegated committee of the board) on a yearly basis.

Peter's hospital foundation of any financial or business interests that might result in or have the appearance of a conflict of interest. The board of directors of st.

“Question 15a and 15b are answered "no" because the compensation for st. Peter's hospital foundation's system ceo is established by trinity health, a related organization. In establishing system ceo and system cfo compensation, trinity health follows a process and policy that is intended to mirror the irc section 4958 guidelines for obtaining a "rebuttable presumption of reasonableness" with regard to compensation and benefits. As part of that process, the compensation and benefits of the system ceo and system cfo of st. Peter's hospital foundation are reviewed at least annually by the trinity health board or the trinity health human resources and compensation committee (hrcc) of the board, authorized to act on behalf of the board with respect to certain compensation matters. As part of its review process, the hrcc retains an independent firm experienced in compensation and benefit matters for not-for-profit health care organizations to advise it in the determinations it makes on the reasonableness of proposed compensation and benefits arrangements. For other executives who are not part of the rebuttable presumption process, trinity health uses a market analysis to determine the appropriateness of the executive's compensation. For the compensation of other officers, st. Peter's hospital foundation has a process for determining compensation which includes the following: compensation is reviewed by an independent compensation consultant who reviews the salaries to ensure they are within market and market competitive. This is done on an annual basis, reviewed by either the organization's or a related organization's compensation committee and communicated to the other officers.”
