Saint Lukes Care

“Annually, the saint luke's health system board of directors' compensation committee reviews, discusses, sets and approves compensation for the organization's top management executive. Independent, external directors serve on the compensation committee. An independent compensation consulting firm annually provides a written report and reasonableness opinion. The consultant reviews the system's executive compensation philosophy and analyzes market competitiveness (in total and by each compensation and benefit element) for the executive using appropriate comparability data. Compensation committee actions are contemporaneously documented. The process satisfies the rebuttable presumption procedure.”
