“The fisher-titus affiliated services (ems) officers receive all of their compensation from the fisher-titus medical center, (ftmc) a related organization. Such compensation is subject to the guidance of the personnel committee of the fisher-titus health board. The committee retains an independent executive compensation consultant to help establish cash compensation target ranges and identify reasonable and customary benefit programs for executives. The independent consultant reports to the personnel committee on relevant peer groups, cash compensation reported in available salary surveys for the peer group, and trends in benefits and perquisite programs customarily available among the peer group for executives. Recommendations by the consultant are presented to the personnel committee which prepares minutes of its deliberations regarding executive compensation including recommendations that are provided to each of the directors of fisher-titus health. The recommendations to be acted on must be approved first by the joint personnel committee and then by the fisher-titus health's board of directors. The minutes of each board meeting where action is taken reflect such action. The process is performed annually in the spring and was last done in march 2022.”
