“CDH-Delnor Health System, a wholly owned subsidiary of Northwestern Memorial Heath Care (NMHC), is the parent organization and the sole corporate member of the filing organization. In accordance with this organizational structure, interested persons of the filing organization are subject to the policies, processes and procedures of NMHC. Northwestern Memorial HealthCare (NMHC) maintains both a Conflict of Interest Policy and an Intermediate Sanctions Policy. These policies have been approved by its Board of Directors and apply to all entities, directors, officers, employees and transactions which take place within the NMHC system. The policies were written to assist board members and management with the identification of those transactions that warrant attention and consideration to ensure proper adherence to the tax laws impacting tax-exempt organizations. The conflict of interest policy requires completion of an annual certification which affirms that such person has received, read and understands the conflict of interest policy, has agreed to comply, has disclosed any matters required to be disclosed under the policy, and agrees to report any changes promptly to the Corporate Compliance & Integrity (CCI) department. Once the annual certifications are complete, the CCI department reviews the disclosures for compliance with the policy and escalates any that are of a nature that require potential further remediation to manage or eliminate the disclosed conflict.”

Northwestern Memorial Healthcare Organization, NMHC, has established a Board-led executive compensation review and approval process for NMHC and all affiliates. This process for reviewing and approving executive compensation: is designed to qualify for the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness under the federal tax law intermediate sanctions rules and otherwise complies with IRS guidelines for tax-exempt organizations; is conducted by a separate subcommittee of the Board of Directors whose members are all disinterested, independent and non-paid; and evaluates the reasonableness of compensation annually based on compensation data gathered by external consultants from a peer group comprised of similarly situated healthcare organizations. In addition, a significant portion of compensation is at risk and is payable only upon achievement of substantial goals.
