“Northwell health, inc. ("northwell") has several control mechanisms to mitigate conflicts of interest. Northwell's code of ethical conduct contains a detailed section educating individuals about how to avoid potential conflicts of interest. Specifically, our code of ethical conduct requires individuals to conduct northwell business in a manner that places the interests of northwell ahead of their personal interests. In addition, northwell has a conflicts of interest policy statement further elaborating upon individuals' disclosure and recusal obligations. Individuals that are in a position to influence the business or other decisions of northwell are required to fill out a conflicts of interest disclosure form on a regular basis. The corporate compliance office reviews all disclosures of possible conflicts, including matters disclosed in any conflicts of interest disclosure report and takes any actions deemed required or appropriate to manage or resolve any actual or potential conflicts of interest. In appropriate cases these disclosures and responsive actions will be reported to northwell's audit and corporate compliance committee and other applicable committees. In addition, northwell provides training to individuals on an annual basis regarding conflicts of interest and other compliance related topics. If an individual violates the code of ethical conduct or any related policy such as the conflicts of interest policy statement, appropriate disciplinary action is taken based upon the facts and circumstances of the situation.”

“The by-laws of northwell health, inc. ("northwell") create a committee of the board with full powers of the board to review and approve the compensation of officers and other key employees. The committee consists of approximately 6 trustees who have no connection to northwell except as trustees and they have no conflicts as to matters they consider. The committee meets several times a year as needed but always meets in november/december to review and determine officer and key employee compensation for the following year. For purposes of their review the committee considers the recommendations of the ceo for all persons other than the ceo. For purposes of the review each year the committee receives information from an outside independent compensation consultant as to compensation for comparable positions in comparable organizations and makes its decisions on this basis, with the overall objective of paying base salary at the 50th percentile. Any contracts or other compensation for officers or key employees are separately considered and normally only approved after receipt of a "fairness opinion" from the independent consultant. All the work and process of the committee is structured to fall within the applicable safe harbor regulations.”

“Currently the organization provides governance documents, conflicts of interest policy and financial statements to the public upon request.”
