“The organization has a written conflict of interest policy and regularly monitors and enforces compliance with that policy. Every covered individual is required to submit, at least annually, a conflict of interest disclosure statement which lists all financial and conflicting interests. These disclosures are then shared with the chairman of the board. If a covered individual discloses an interest that could give rise to a conflict, the potential conflict may be disclosed to the organization's governing body, which evaluates the conflict and its potential impact on the covered individuals' participation. After consultation and discussion, the board of trustees may take action, if appropriate and necessary, to address any such conflict in a manner consistent with the organization's conflict of interest policy.”

“The organization currently has no compensated individuals. However, the compensation payable to senior executives and medical chiefs will be determined by the organization's executive compensation committee and its board of trustees based on guidance from an independent executive compensation consultant with expertise in this field. The consultant is engaged by and reports directly to the executive compensation committee and the board of trustees. The consultant will provide a full report to the executive compensation committee and board of trustees every two years. The consultant will review the roles of the organization's executives, determine applicable peer organizations, collect and analyzes published compensation survey data, confirm the data based on publicly available information and compare the compensation of the organization's executives and medical chiefs to the market data. The consultant will provide a report of its market findings and present the report to the executive compensation committee of the board of trustees. Finally, the consultant will prepare a letter commenting on the reasonableness of the organization's compensation. A portion of the compensation payable to senior executives and medical chiefs will be contingent upon the achievement of performance measures set in advance by the board of trustees based on recommendations from the executive compensation committee. The contingent portion, referred to as "incentive compensation", is forfeited upon failure to achieve a minimum level of operating surplus or the loss of certain key hospital and service line accreditations. The performance measures change from year to year as determined by the executive compensation committee and the board of trustees and typically include measures based on quality, patient satisfaction and fiscal responsibility. The executive compensation committee has adopted a written executive compensation philosophy which it follows when it reviews and approves of the compensation and benefits. The will committee review the "total compensation" which is intended to include both current and deferred compensation and all employee benefits, both qualified and non-qualified. The committee's review will be done on at least an annual basis and ensures that the "total compensation" of senior management is reasonable. The actions taken by the committee enable the organization to receive the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness for purposes of internal revenue code section 4958 with respect to the total compensation of senior management.”
