“The Form 990 is prepared internally by experienced Providence Health & Services staff and reviewed by the internal PH&S Director of Taxes and external tax advisors. The Board of Directors reviewed the Form 990 prior to filing with the IRS.”

“Based on the affiliation with Providence Health & Services, the following applies to the Conflict of Interest: Providence Health & Services maintains a conflict of interest policy that applies to board members and management of all Providence-related organizations. The purpose of the policy is to guide and direct those serving the Providence Health & Services' corporations and other legal entities so they can (1) fulfill their fiduciary responsibilities and exercise stewardship in ways that promote and protect the best interests of Providence and, (2) avoid situations that create a conflict, or the appearance of a conflict, between the interests of an individual associated with Providence and Providence. On an annual basis, each board member and management level employee must complete and submit an updated conflict of interest statement. Conflict of interest disclosures are reviewed by the System Integrity Department working in conjunction with the Department of Legal Affairs. If it is determined that an actual conflict exists, appropriate follow-up action is taken with the individual to rectify the conflict.”

“It is Swedish's intention to make financial information accessible and transparent. Although the filing of Form 990 provides insight into how Swedish achieves its Mission, delivers its programs and stewards its finances, deciphering the information directly from Form 990 can be challenging. The following paragraphs provide further information about the process we use to determine compensation for top management, officers and key employees. Providence has a single fiduciary Board, which also covers Swedish officers and key employees, with responsibility for financial oversight associated with fulfillment of the Providence Mission, developing system policies, protecting the assets entrusted to the organization and overseeing the strategic and operational affairs of Providence's legal entities. Providence and Swedish also maintain a network of community ministry boards with responsibility for quality of care oversight, community relations, advocacy and community needs assessments. Providence has a consistent compensation philosophy for all of its officers, including our senior Swedish executives. Salaries for senior executives are reviewed by the Providence St. Joseph Health Committee and approved by the full Board of Directors, none of whom is a Providence or Swedish employee. The Board retains an independent consultant each year to review salaries of those in the most significant leadership roles in the organization. Part of the consultant's role is to review an extensive array of compensation surveys of large, not-for-profit health care systems in the United States. Providence is one of the larger health systems in the country, and as such, the Board benchmarks executive compensation against other large, not-for-profit health systems whose revenue is similar to that of Providence. Additionally, Providence's labor market continues to spread across health care and into general industry. Because of this, Providence also takes into consideration general industry for-profit market data, where applicable. Base salaries for Providence & Swedish executives are generally targeted to the median level of the market, as identified by the independent consultant and reviewed with the Executive Compensation Committee. Performance incentives allow executives to earn additional compensation if they achieve specific organizational goals for furthering Providence operating commitments and strategic objectives. The Board of Directors conducts a thorough process to ensure performance incentives are aligned with appropriate market practices. The Board's process for executive compensation fully complies with IRS standards and mirrors best practices.”

“The Pavilion Pharmacy (retail and homecare pharmacy) closed at the end of 2016. This was a difficult decision to make as the pharmacy had served the community for many years. However, we determined that we were not able to run it in a competitive manner, and there are many other retail and homecare pharmacies in the area, so patients would be well taken care of.”
