“The jfk health system 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.
