“The Form 990 is prepared internally by experienced accounting staff and reviewed by the Director of Taxes of Providence Health & Services and external tax advisors. The Board and signing Officer reviewed the Form 990 in detail. Once approved, an electronic copy of the Form 990 is emailed to the Board prior to filing with the IRS.”

“The Board of Trustees has adopted a conflict of interest policy. Management employees are covered by the Swedish Health Services conflict of interest policy. Both policies are substantially similar and are jointly referred to herein as "the policy." Board members and covered persons are required to complete a conflict of interest questionnaire annually and disclose any affiliations, interest or relationships and/or any transactions the individual and/or his or her family members have engaged in that might give rise to an actual, apparent, or potential conflict of interest. The policy defines family members and describes what constitutes conflicts of interest. It requires individuals to report to the appropriate committee chair any further financial interest, situation, activity, interest or conduct that may develop before completion of the next annual questionnaire. Potential conflicts of interest with physician board members with financial interests in businesses that compete with Swedish Edmonds are addressed, as well as appropriate disclosures, evaluation and resolution of said conflicts. The conflict of interest questionnaire includes an annual statement that board members and covered persons (a) have received a copy of the policy, (b) have read and understood the policy, (c) agree to comply with the policy, (d) understand that the policy applies to committees and subcommittees, (e) understand that the organization is a charitable organization that must engage primarily in exempt activities, (f) agree to report to the appropriate manager or committee chair any change to matters previously disclosed on the conflict of interest questionnaire, (g) state that the information provided in the conflict of interest questionnaire is true and accurate to the best of his or her knowledge and belief. The purpose of the policy is to ensure board members and covered persons are independent and able to perform their duties in an impartial manner, free from any bias created by personal interests, to protect the interests of Swedish Edmonds, to clarify the duties and obligations of the board members and covered persons in the context of a potential conflict (and to provide a method for disclosing and resolving said conflict) and to supplement (not replace) any applicable state laws governing conflicts of interest applicable to charitable, nonprofit corporations. Swedish Edmonds will not engage in any contract, transaction or arrangement involving a potential conflict of interest unless it is determined that appropriate safeguards to protect the charitable mission of the organization have been implemented. The executive committee will review all conflict of interest questionnaires for board members. The executive committee will make a finding as to whether an actual, apparent or potential conflict of interest exists and will take actions as it deems appropriate. The conflict of interest committee governs the policy and questionnaire related to all other covered persons. The minutes of meetings will identify any person attending the meeting who has a conflict of interest with respect to any matter before the board or committee and the action taken to address the conflict of interest (e.g., the individual left the room during the discussion of the matter giving rise to the conflict of interest and the individual did not vote on such matter).”

“The Board has delegated authority to the Swedish Health Services compensation and HR committees to review and approve compensation arrangements for the CAO of Swedish Edmonds. All members of the compensation and HR committees are independent. Compensation for executives (including the CAO) is reasonable and consistent with the executive total compensation philosophy approved by the Board of Trustees. Potential conflicts of interest are addressed in accordance with the corporation's conflict of interest policy. The Board of Trustees selects and retains an independent consultant to conduct an annual review of the compensation package, including salaries, incentives and benefits and recommend appropriate adjustments to ensure that each remains competitive and responsive to changing laws and in keeping with the organization's mission. The Board, as part of its analysis, obtains from the independent consultant appropriate comparability data, including total compensation paid by similarly situated for profit and not for profit healthcare organizations for positions that are functionally comparable. The consultant provides documentation that total compensation is at fair market value. The consultants' recommendations are reviewed and approved (or not approved) by the compensation and HR committees, which document the basis for their decision. Following approval of the annual review by the compensation and HR committees, the CEO of Swedish Health Services will approve changes in the compensation package for the CAO of Swedish Edmonds consistent with the annual review and recommendations approved by the compensation and HR committees. Salaries for non-executive employees are reviewed and approved by HR.”
