“All officers, trustees and key employees are required annually, to review the organization's conflict of interest policy and complete a conflict of interest questionnaire, which is submitted to corporate counsel. Corporate counsel reviews each completed questionnaire and prepares a report, which is shared with the board of trustees governance committee and, ultimately, the board of trustees. The policy is enforced, as needed, depending on the circumstances - for example, through recusal from voting, divestiture of conflicting property interests or, in certain past cases, resignation from the board of trustees.”

“The organization's board of trustees has an executive compensation sub-committee ("committee"). The committee has adopted a written executive compensation philosophy which it follows when it reviews the compensation and benefits of the organization's senior management, including the president/chief executive officer. The committee reviews the "total compensation" of the individuals which is intended to include both current and deferred compensation and all employee benefits, both qualified and non-qualified. The committee's review is done on at least an annual basis and ensures that the "total compensation" of senior management of the organization is reasonable. In 2020, the executive compensation sub-committee reported to the full board for ratification. The actions taken by the committee enable the organization to receive the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness for purposes of internal revenue code section 4958 with respect to the total compensation of certain members of the senior management team, including the president/chief executive officer. The three factors which must be satisfied in order to receive the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness are the following: 1. The compensation arrangement is approved in advance by an "authorized body" of the applicable tax-exempt organization which is composed entirely of individuals who do not have a "conflict of interest" with respect to the compensation arrangement; 2. The authorized body obtained and relied upon "appropriate data as to comparability" prior to making its determination; and 3. The authorized body "adequately documented the basis for its determination" concurrently with making that determination. The committee is comprised of members of the board of trustees each of who are independent and are free from any conflicts of interest. The committee relied upon appropriate comparable data; specifically, the committee obtained a written compensation study from an independent firm which specializes in the reviewing of hospital and healthcare system executive compensation and benefits throughout the united states. This study used comparable geographic and demographic market data including but not limited to similarly sized healthcare systems and hospitals, # of licensed beds and net patient service revenue. In addition, the committee reviews and approves executive compensation adjustments based on market surveys developed by independent consultants, industry average comparison, years of service and other exempt organizations in the geographic area. After a review of the individual's performance for the year and relying on comparable information and other objective data, the executive committee will recommend an adjustment to the individual's compensation. Any determinations are documented contemporaneously in the executive committee minutes. The committee adequately documented its basis for its determination through the timely preparation of written minutes of the compensation committee meetings during which the executive compensation and benefits was reviewed and subsequently approved. The actions outlined above with respect to the committee and the establishment of the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness applies to certain senior management personnel, including, but not limited to, the president/chief executive officer. The compensation and benefits of certain other individuals contained in this form 990 are reviewed annually by the centrastate healthcare system, inc.'s president/chief executive officer with assistance from the organization's human resources department in conjunction with the individual's job performance during the year and is based upon other objective factors designed to ensure that reasonable and fair market value compensation is paid by the organization. Other objective factors include market survey data for comparable positions, individual goals and objectives, personnel reviews, evaluations, self-evaluations and performance feedback me”
