The corporation does not make its governing documents publicly available beyond required filings of articles of incorporation with the secretary of state. The corporation does not make its conflict of interest policy available upon request.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b: Compensation Review and Approval Process for Officers and Key Employees
The Adventist Health System/West board of directors has established a Compensation Committee to oversee the executive compensation program. This committee is composed of independent directors with no conflicts of interest. The committee performs the following functions: recommends a total compensation philosophy to the board; assures compliance with the board-approved philosophy; meets annually to review comparability data from outside consultants; recommends any adjustments to current executive compensation that would be indicated by the data, including salary ranges for the organization's CEO and CFO; evaluates executive performance against annual goals; recommends appropriate incentive awards to the board for approval; follows a diligent process that meets regulatory requirements for a rebuttable presumption of reasonableness; records committee deliberations and decisions in timely minutes; selects, engages and supervises any consultant hired to advise and provide comparability data.The board-approved executive compensation philosophy specifies that salary ranges will be established for executives with midpoints aligned with the 50th percentile of comparable system hospital data and having a 24 percent spread from minimum to maximum (industry norm is an approximately 50 percent spread). The CEO has a maximum potential incentive of 30 percent of base salary. (This incentive potential is less than the industry norm.) Other executives have a maximum potential incentive of 20 percent of base salary.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflicts
During the first quarter of each year, the annual conflict of interest questionnaire is sent to board members, corporate officers, key employees, and department directors for completion and signature. The questionnaire is accompanied by a letter of explanation to illustrate examples of a conflict and remind the recipient that if any perceived conflict should arise before the next annual questionnaire, he/she is to notify the CEO immediately. The internal audit staff reviews these questionnaires and disclosures each year during the audit process.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4d : Other Program Services Description
OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: At present, AHPN has 43 physicians in 11 specialties.Healthcare ReformAdventist Health leaders are defining what health care reform will mean to our organization, our patients and the communities we serve. Our system continues to carefully examine issues such as meaningful use, accountable care organizations and population health management while continuing to provide quality, mission-focused care to our communities.Adventist Health joined the Premier health care alliance's Accountable Care Organization (ACO) Readiness Collaborative, which includes more than 40 health systems nationwide. They work together to test, measure and share best practices for creating ACOs and improving overall health and wellness in their communities. In joining this effort, our system has begun the work necessary to implement essential health care reforms that deliver high-quality, patient-centered care. As part of this collaborative, Adventist Health expects to work toward creating ACOs in its markets, accepting accountability for the care delivered to patients by improving care coordination, efficiency, quality and patient satisfaction. Building for Tomorrow Through strategic planning and oversight of capital allocation as well as financing, the Adventist Health board has authorized major building projects and campus improvements to enhance the delivery of care in the communities we serve. These improvements range from modifying existing structures to new patient towers, establishing convenient clinics and enlarging emergency departments outfitted with the latest technology and equipment. Adventist Medical Center - Hanford opened in December 2010 and the newly-built hospital meets or exceeds seismic safety standards. Adventist Health is also building a new facility to replace the existing Frank R. Howard Memorial Hospital in Willits, Calif., which will increase beds and improve community care, while meeting all seismic safety requirements.
