“The organization did not have committees with authority to act on behalf of the governing body.”

“An electronic copy of the organization's final form 990 (including required schedules) was provided to each voting member of the organization's governing body on october 2025 prior to filing with the irs.”

“The organization regularly and consistently monitors and enforces compliance with the conflict of interest policy by annually distributing a questionnaire that requires officers, directors or trustees, and key employees to disclose interests that may give rise to conflicts. If a conflict arises, the policy provides procedures for addressing conflicts to ensure decisions are made in the best interest of the organization.”

“The organization takes all necessary steps to ensure that compensation for all officers, directors and key employees is reasonable and appropriate for the services provided to the organization. The organization provides a total compensation package that is on par with compensation provided by similar organizations and which conforms to the policies and guidelines set out by the Board of Trustees. Norton Healthcare, Inc. (NHC) engages an outside independent compensation consultant, Gallagher, to provide comparability data, including review of other health systems and hospital organizations that have filed Form 990s, for NHC's officers and key employees on total compensation for similar positions at health systems and hospital organizations similar in size, scope of services, and circumstances. In addition, the organization participates in third party surveys which provide aggregate, comparative compensation data for officers and key employees in similar positions at similar organizations. Gallagher consultants presented and discussed this comparability data in 2023 for the 2024 compensation review and met in 2024 for the 2025 compensation review with the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees (Board). The Committee reviewed the executive compensation and benefits program, determined total compensation for the CEO, and approved compensation for other officers and key employees. The Committee reviewed NHC's variable compensation program and determined appropriate awards for performance relative to goals set for the year. After the Committee determined appropriate compensation and benefits for officers and key employees, the Board approved their total compensation.”
