“The organization did not compensation any other officers or key employees during 2015, and accordingly has answered this question "no".”

“Halcyon's sole member is Comfort Bridge, a non-stock, Colorado nonprofit corporation.”

“EVERY JANUARY THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY IS REVIEWED IN THE JANUARY BOARD MEETING. THE BOARD AND SENIOR MANAGEMENT ARE ASKED TO DISCLOSE ANY BUSINESS VENTURES, OWNERSHIP INTERESTS OR SERVICES THAT COULD CREATE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. THE POLICY IS CLOSELY FOLLOWED ON ISSUES THAT ARISE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. 1. Determining Whether a Conflict of Interest Exists After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, he/she shall leave the governing board or committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining board or committee members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. 2. Procedures for Addressing the Conflict of Interest a. An interested person may make a presentation to the governing board or committee, but after the presentation, he/she shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest. b. The chairperson of the governing board or committee shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. c. After exercising due diligence, the governing board or committee shall determine whether the Organization can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. d. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the governing board or committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the Organization's best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. In conforming with the above determination, it shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement.”

“Each year an extensive analysis of compensation for key senior management positions occurs. Benchmark data is gathered by the vice president of human resources from various sources (including hospice, healthcare and non-profit) and presented to the executive committee for analysis and approval of compensation recommendations. The comparative data used, deliberations and decisions are documented in the minutes of the executive committee which are distributed to the board of directors.”

“Documents are available upon request. Request forms are available at the front desk and can be requested in person or over the phone.”
