“Bryan health has adopted a written conflict of interest policy that is monitored and enforced by the governance committee of the board of trustees. Board members, officers, and key employees are required to annually complete a conflict of interest and disclosure questionnaire to identify any family and business relationships and transactions, or other transactions that may pose a potential conflict. The questionnaires requires each covered person to sign a statement certifying that he/she: (1) has reported information that is correct and complete to the best of their knowledge. (2) has read the conflict-of-interest policy and understands the policy, and; (3) agrees to comply with all requirements of the policy. Covered persons are also required to disclose real or potential conflicts at the time such conflicts arise. Persons who have not returned questionnaires are contacted additional times in an effort to receive complete and accurate responses from all persons. Failure to complete the questionnaire can result in disciplinary actions. The questionnaires are reviewed in detail by the governance committee of bryan health. Conflicts are closely monitored by members of the governance committee. The conflict-of-interest policy has restrictions for any board members with a conflict of interest.”

“Bryan health's board of trustees believes compensation for the senior management team must reflect the complexities of leading and managing a multi-hospital health system that provides services throughout much of the state. Recognizing that its leaders are responsible for the quality of care, patient services and overall financial health of one of the largest private employers in lincoln/lancaster county. Bryan health's board has established a compensation plan that matches this level of responsibility. This plan, known as the senior management compensation philosophy is reviewed at least annually by bryan health's compensation committee. This compensation philosophy targets base salary for senior managers at the 50th percentile of the market. The compensation committee is appointed by bryan health's board of trustees and is made up of independent community leaders who all serve voluntarily, and who must adhere to a stringent conflict of interest policy. Executive compensation is determined and reviewed pursuant to guidelines outlined in the intermediate sanction rules under irc section 4958 including taking steps to meet the rebuttable presumption standard of reasonableness under treasury regulation section 53.4958-6. The compensation committee conducts a comprehensive annual review of all compensation provided by the organization to the senior management team. This review is conducted by the committee by utilizing national salary surveys, conducted by independent external firms. Compensation for senior managers is compared to compensation of senior managers at like institutions across the u.s. To determine that the value of compensation provided is reasonable and at fair market value. The compensation committee also works directly with an external independent compensation consultant to review the reasonableness of total compensation provided to the senior management team, and to assure that the total compensation paid conforms to the overall compensation philosophy. The compensation consultant provides written opinions to the compensation committee that assesses the reasonableness of the total executive compensation paid to senior managers. The annual compensation review procedure was completed by the compensation committee on march 21, 2024. All decisions of the compensation committee are contemporaneously documented in the compensation committee minutes which are timely reviewed and approved by the committee.”
