“The Form 990 is prepared internally by experienced staff and reviewed by the internal Director of Taxes and external tax advisors. The signing Corporate Officer will review 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 Directors has adopted a conflict of interest policy. Board members and covered persons are required to complete a conflict of interest questionnaire annually and disclose any affiliations, interest or relationship, 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. 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 the organization, 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. The organization will not engage in any contract, transaction or arrangement involving a potential conflict of interest unless it is determined that appropriate safeguards 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 Swedish executives reported on this return are paid through Providence Health & Services - Washington and are subject to the Providence Compensation process discussed below. It is Providence's intention to make financial information accessible and transparent. Although the filing of Form 990 provides insight into how Providence 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, 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 also maintains 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 employees, including our senior executives. Salaries for senior executives are determined by the Providence Board's Human Resources Committee and approved by the full Board of Directors, none of whom is a Providence 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. Base salaries for Providence executives are set at the median level of the market, as identified by the independent consultant and reviewed with the Human Resources Committee. Each year, the Board Chair conducts a formal performance evaluation of the President/CEO that considers input from the other directors and senior leaders reporting to the President. The evaluation is discussed with the Human Resources Committee and then a recommendation is made by the committee to the full Board. The Board Chair and the Chair of the Human Resources Committee also meet with an independent consultant to develop a salary recommendation; which is reviewed and approved first by the committee and then by the Board of Directors. Additionally, the President/CEO utilizes the market information provided by the consultant along with formal performance evaluations, to determine salary recommendations for other senior executives. This process includes a rigorous analysis of those recommendations with the Human Resources Committee as a part of the review and approval process. Performance incentives allow executives to earn additional compensation if they achieve specific organizational goals for furthering Providence operating commitments and strategic objectives - advancing the Providence Mission and core values, meeting benchmarks for charity care, achieving quality targets, delivering top-rated patient satisfaction, meeting employee satisfaction goals and reaching financial performance objectives. The Board of Directors conducts a thorough process to ensure performance incentives are aligned with appropriate practices for not-for-profit health care systems. The Board's process for executive compensation fully complies with IRS standards and mirrors the best practices recommended in the "Report to Congress and the Nonprofit Sector on Governance, Transparency, and Accountability" submitted to the Senate Finance Committee by the Panel on the Nonprofit Sector.”
