“As of january 1, 2018, hackensack meridian health, inc. ("hmh") acquired jfk health system, inc. And all of its affiliates. This organization is a subsidiary of hmh; a tax-exempt integrated healthcare delivery network. Hmh's finance personnel prepared and reviewed the federal form 990, which was then reviewed by other appropriate internal staff for accuracy. Hmh's board of trustees designated the audit and compliance committee ("acc") to review the form 990 of hmh's subsidiaries. The form 990 was provided to the members of the acc for review. The form 990 was then provided to each voting member of hmh's governing body, its board of trustees, prior to filing with the internal revenue service. The hmh board of trustees has the final governing authority over the subsidiaries of hmh.”

“On an annual basis, conflict of interest disclosure statements are distributed to all board members and employees that are department heads and higher levels. All disclosures are reviewed by the compliance officer and the chair of the jfk audit and compliance committee. Any potential conflict of interest is brought to the said committee for review and consideration and any appropriate action deemed necessary pursuant to the conflict of interest policy.”

“The jfk board of directors has duly appointed an executive compensation committee (the "committee") that is responsible for the review and approval of all compensation and benefits provided to executive management of the organization. The committee has adopted a written executive compensation philosophy statement and an executive compensation committee charter. The committee follows the procedures described in the philosophy statement and the charter when it reviews and approves the compensation and employee benefits provided to the organization's senior management, including the president and chief executive officer and the chief financial officer.the committee's review analyzes every element of compensation, including current and deferred compensation, and benefits, including qualified and non-qualified benefits. The committee conducts its review and approval process at least annually, and approves compensation and benefits only to the extent that the committee has concluded that the total compensation and benefits constitute no more than reasonable compensation. The committee consists entirely of independent members of the jfk health system board, the committee reviews in advance independent data showing the compensation provided by non-profit organizations for functionally similar positions, and the committee prepares a timely and thorough written record of its deliberations and conclusions. Assisting the committee is an outside compensation consultant along with outside legal counsel. As a result, the committee's review process is designed to satisfy the procedural criteria necessary to qualify for the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness under the federal income tax law intermediate sanctions rules: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 within the meaning of the regulations under section 4958; 2. The authorized body obtains and relies upon "appropriate data as to comparability" prior to making its determination; and3. The authorized body adequately documents the basis for its determination concurrently with making that determination, again as required in the regulations.”
