Following is the process that the parent organization undertakes to approve the president, officers and key employees' compensation. Compensation for hph executives (vp and above) is set by the independent board members who are members of the hph compensation committee. On an annual basis the hph board chairperson (who is independent) selects a neutral third party executive compensation consultant to review the executive's compensation and benefits. The consultant provides a written report to the compensation committee at its annual meeting. Included in the report is market based data from like organizations. The compensation committee makes final decisions regarding compensation and benefits at the meeting after review and discussion of the consultant's report. Community based directors of the organization are not compensated. Certain employed physicians may be officers or an identified key employee of the reporting or related organization. Physician compensation is also handled in the same manner as executive compensation, with the hph compensation committee receiving a report from a neutral consultant and following the same process as described above on an annual basis. This process was last completed on march 11, 2016 to review physician compensation and on august 24, 2016 to review executive compensation.”
