Sutter Health

“The affairs and management of sutter health are governed by the board of directors. The executive committee has the power to act on behalf of the board and to transact all regular business during the period between meetings of the board. The executive committee consists of the board chair, who serves as chair of the committee, the chair of the finance committee, the secretary, the president and chief executive officer, the chair-elect, if there is an individual with that title who is not serving on the committee in another capacity, the past chair, if such individual is still serving as a director, and at least one appointed director of the corporation.”

“Process used by management &/or governing body to review form 990: sutter health has a centralized tax department responsible for the preparation of the form 990. Annually the tax department receives and provides training and education to appropriate personnel who assist the tax department in collecting and reviewing data to be reported on the form 990. The preparation material is reviewed by various departments including tax, finance, legal, and human resources. A national accounting firm prepares and reviews the return. A completed return is then reviewed by the tax department, legal department, finance, and the cfo before the return is filed.”

“Process to monitor transactions for conflicts of interest: employees are educated on the conflict of interest policy and the need to make disclosure as part of annual compliance education. In addition, annually a disclosure statement is completed by all directors, officers and key employees. On this statement the individual will list a wide range of information which includes business relationships, employment relationships, property interests, and those of related parties. If there is a potential conflict of interest related to a particular transaction, the interested individual must disclose the existence and nature of the relationship. The board chair may appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate the conflict. The board may consult with the legal and risk services department as necessary. Until the potential conflict is resolved, the board chair (or committee chair as applicable) may request the individual to not participate during related presentations and discussions. In all circumstances involving an actual conflict, the interested individual shall leave the room prior to the board's final discussion and vote.”

“PROCESS FOR DETERMINING TOP MANAGEMENT OFFICIAL COMPENSATION: The compensation for the position of the top management official is determined through a quantitative review of peer equity data and applicable national market salary survey data regressed to entity operating revenue size to ensure the position is both internally equitable and externally competitive/market appropriate. The Compensation Committee of Sutter Health annually reviews and approves compensation, and such approval is recorded in the minutes of Sutter Health. The 2023 Executive compensation approval was completed in MAY 2023.”
