“No compensation is paid by the filing organization, as such the responses to these questions are required to be no. The only compensation reported on the return is from a related entity.

The market data provides comparable compensation levels based on geography, revenue size and other factors to determine a market range for each executive. The result of their findings are shared directly with the governance and leadership committee of the hrhs board of trustees. The deliberation and final decision are timely documented in the board and committee minutes. This process last took place in 2024.”
