Addiction Treatment for Adults, Youth, and Families The goal of addiction treatment at Hazelden Betty Ford is lifelong recovery for each patient. The Foundation approaches treatment for addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders in a holistic way. Treatment incorporates integrated clinical disciplines with individualized planning and care. Interdisciplinary care teams consist of addiction counselors, psychologists and psychiatrists, physicians and nurses, family specialists, spiritual care professionals, nutritionists, and wellness specialists. Addiction treatment is offered at Hazelden Betty Ford facilities in Center City, Chaska, Maple Grove, Plymouth, and St. Paul, Minnesota; Chicago, Illinois; Naples, Florida; New York, New York (in the Tribeca and Chelsea neighborhoods); Beaverton and Springbrook, Oregon; Newton, Massachusetts; and the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage and Los Angeles, California; Irving, Texas; and Aurora, Colorado. In addition to addiction treatment, Hazelden Betty Ford provides assessment and evaluation services, intervention services, structured sober living, continuing care services, and mental health services. Hazelden Betty Ford also understands that recovery from addiction involves rebuilding relationships with family members and friends.

Higher Education and Medical & Professional TrainingHazelden Betty Ford Graduate School of Addiction Studies The Hazelden Betty Ford Graduate School of Addiction Studies, accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, educates future leaders in addiction counseling who provide evidence-based integrated care for substance use and co-occurring disorders. The graduate school's innovative and comprehensive programs integrate direct clinical practice with academic training to build professional competency in the field of addiction counseling. In 2015, the school awarded 29 Masters of Arts degrees in Addiction Counseling, 28 Masters of Arts degrees in Addiction Counseling Advanced Practice and 1 Certificate in Addiction Counseling. Scholarship grants are provided to qualified participants of both of the Graduate School (133 scholarships given) and medical professional education programs (58 scholarships given).Medical & Professional Education The Professionals in Residence (PIR) program and the Summer Institute for Medical Students (SIMS) give medical students, residents, and health care and legal professionals an in-depth experience with the dynamics of the disease of addiction. Intensive one-week programs blend classes presented by Hazelden Betty Ford physicians and expert clinicians with time spent interacting with patients or family members and staff on treatment units or family programs. Participants learn about the latest research and evidence-based methods from our multidisciplinary faculty. A two-week rotation on addiction for family medicine residents is available in Minnesota and California. A one-year accredited Addiction Medicine Fellowship is available at the Betty Ford Center in California and a Course on Addiction and Recovery Education (CARE) is available worldwide.

Community Care and Community Benefit: In meeting Hazelden Betty Ford's commitment to our mission and the underlying charitable purpose of Hazelden Betty Ford, we invest our time, financial resources and energy helping people and communities understand and address addiction as a treatable disease, and we spread the word that recovery is possible. "Be of service" is an integral core value that we demonstrate in a variety of ways. Perhaps the most obvious way we meet our commitment to community is by providing treatment services to individuals and families who seek and qualify for care but are unable to pay the full cost. Our patient aid policy provides that Hazelden Betty Ford will annually establish a target amount of patient aid. Our patient aid awards totaled nearly $9,700,000 in charges forgone in 2015. In addition, the Foundation provides a variety of other benefits for the public good including:Hazelden Betty Ford Graduate School of Addiction Studies: -The Hazelden Betty Ford Graduate School of Addiction Studies prepares future leaders in addiction counseling through the Master of Arts in Addiction Counseling and Master of Arts in Addiction Studies degrees and certificate program. The school emphasizes public engagement as a means of serving its constituent communities. In 2015, students provided more than 4,280 hours of clinical services at agencies reaching underserved and economically disadvantaged populations. The school offers a full scholarship each year to students who work at Chisago County Health and Human Services and we provide continuing education to these Chisago County professionals at no cost. Fifty-eight students graduated with master's degrees from the school in 2015. Overall, more than 92 percent of graduates who seek careers in the addiction treatment field find employment in their home communities or at regional or national treatment agencies. Faculty and graduate school leaders participate in public service events throughout the United States and make research, educational, and scholarly contributions to the field of addiction treatment.Butler Center for Research: The Butler Center for Research (BCR) is dedicated to improving recovery from addiction by conducting clinical and institutional research, collaborating with other research centers, and communicating scientific findings. It is the Center's vision that sustained recovery for all who seek help will be achieved through advancements in knowledge and integration of research into practice. Among the department's many activities in 2015: -As part of Hazelden Betty Ford's commitment to evidence-based practice, over 40 data analysis projects were conducted to inform clinical care and academic programming, identify treatment needs, drive data-based decision-making, set targets for 2016 strategic plan goals, and contribute to the field's knowledge of addiction treatment. In addition, BCR staff was instrumental in setting up a new process of feedback informed treatment, which will be launched across Hazelden Betty Ford sites later this year.-The Huss Research Chair on Older Adults is a collaborative initiative that allows BCR researchers to partner with leading national experts on projects related to older adults with addiction. The most recent Huss Research study examined the effects of naltrexone, an anti-craving agent for alcohol, on treatment outcomes among alcohol dependent adult residential patients. The study also examined whether patient response to naltrexone depends on a particular gene related to an opioid receptor in the brain. Statistical analyses of the data were conducted in 2015 and several manuscripts are currently under review at peer-reviewed journals. -Recruitment and baseline testing continued for the COR-12(TM) research pilot study, with over 140 participants recruited to date. This study will provide the first outcomes data for residential patients enrolled in COR-12(TM) and will allow comparisons between COR-12(TM) and non-COR-12(TM) patients with opioid dependence.-Research Updates were disseminated to professionals, educators, researchers, students, and other stakeholders. Six new Research Updates were created, including one summarizing drinking, drug use, and social norms among adolescents and high school students, co-authored with our Freedom from Chemical Dependency staff. These two-page summaries of scientific findings from the field of addiction treatment are provided at no cost as a community benefit to policymakers, treatment professionals, and the public at large. Research Updates are also available on the BCR's webpage at HazeldenBettyFord.org.-Several manuscripts were submitted to peer-reviewed addiction journals in 2015. These papers focused on several different topics, including the role of spirituality in substance use outcomes and post-treatment functioning, as well as a paper describing the feasibility and implementation of a pay-for-performance program within addiction treatment.-The Butler Center for Research's Dan Anderson Research Award is conferred on an annual basis to recognize a published article that has a significant impact on the field of addiction treatment research. In early winter of 2015, Gail D'Onofrio, MD, professor, Department of Emergency Medicine, Yale School of Medicine, and David Fiellin, MD, professor, Department of Internal Medicine, Yale School of Medicine, earned the award for their study entitled: "Emergency Department-Initiated Buprenorphine/Naloxone Treatment for Opioid Dependence: A Randomized Clinical Trial," published in 2015 in the Journal of the American Medical Association. This study examined the impact of buprenorphine treatment on engagement and retention in addiction treatment among opioid-dependent patients admitted to the emergency room.Medical & Professionals in Residence: The Professionals in Residence (PIR) program and the Summer Institute for Medical Students (SIMS) give medical students, residents, and health care and legal professionals an in-depth experience with the dynamics of the disease of addiction. Intensive one-week programs blend classes presented by Hazelden Betty Ford physicians and expert clinicians with time spent interacting with patients or family members and staff on treatment units or family programs. Participants learn about the latest research and evidence-based methods from our multidisciplinary faculty. -A two-week rotation on addiction for family medicine residents is available in Minnesota and California. A one-year accredited Addiction Medicine Fellowship is available at the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, California and a Course on Addiction and Recovery Education (CARE) is available worldwide. The Minnesota and California sites offer customized programming for larger groups.-In 2015, the Minnesota and California programs welcomed a total of 523 participants.Institute for Recovery Advocacy: Please reference Schedule C for the description of activities for the Institute for Recovery Advocacy.Community Education: For the first time, Hazelden Betty Ford began live streaming of the speakers at the Betty Ford Center's "Alcohol and Other Drugs Awareness Hour," a great series of free public lectures held since 1976 on select Saturdays throughout the year. Live streaming effectively turns these local events into national public education opportunities, boosting the potential audience far beyond the live venue capacity of 500. Our Speakers Bureau also helped place the organization's wide array of spokespeople at many related events. In all, 105 different employees presented to more than 54,800 attendees at 285 events in 24 states.The Children's Program The Children's Program provides prevention and education services to children and families with addiction. Programs are located in California, Texas and Colorado. No child has ever been turned away because of lack of financial ability to pay (over 90% attend on scholarships). In 2015, 1,504 children and family members participated in the program. Staff of the Children's Program also participated in the Red Ribbon Campaign at numerous schools in the California, Texas, and Colorado areas. Early prevention education and recovery awareness events were held in communities and schools, along with training sessions for school administrators, principals, counselors, and teachers to provide information, resources, and tools regrarding the family disease of addiction.The Beamer Awards: The Beamer Awards, held for the fourth year in a row, generated $700,000 with an estimated net profit of over $400,000. The event's sole purpose is to raise funds for the Children's Program. All proceeds from the event help to underwrite the Children's Program in California, Texas and Colorado.

Community Relations Services: -Through its community relations services, the Visitors Program in Center City scheduled and conducted 32 tours for 215 individuals. At the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, California, more than 140 tours were scheduled and conducted. Volunteers at facilities in California, Illinois, Florida, Minnesota, New York, and Oregon donated 18,727 hours valued at $469,000.-Educational scholarships from the Hazelden Betty Ford totaling $5,200 were awarded to students at six high schools in the Twin Cities and surrounding Center City area. -The Foundation continues its involvement with the Partners for a Drug Free Chisago County, providing expertise, hosting meetings, and allowing staff to serve on the organization's board. Publishing: Hazelden Publishing is the leading publisher of state-of-the-art resources for preventing, treating, and managing addiction and closely related issues. Translating research into practice, we help organizations treat the whole client by offering information, guidance, tools, and support to meet their unique needs. With 164 new offerings in 2015, our publications continue to provide inspiration, guidance and encouragement to millions around the world every day. In 2015, Hazelden Publishing generated 35 new products, 8 new distributed products, 18 new services and trainings, 12 new e-books, 26 translation rights, 40 specialty products, and 25 new subscriptions. If not for the Hazelden Betty Ford's mission, much of this material would not be published and available to consumers because of its limited appeal to mainstream publishers. Hazelden Publishing's materials also reach underserved populations, including many customers in the community treatment, faith-based, and corrections markets.Hazelden Betty Ford Website: A new website at HazeldenBettyFord.org was launched in 2014 and became the primary website of the new organization by the end of 2015. The new site is built on state-of-the-art technology with a steady base of over 16,000 visitors per day. Over 6,000 visitors come to the site, each day, to read "Thought for the Day," one of six meditation book readings available free of charge. The new website is designed for mobile as well as desktop users. Nearly 4 million visitors came to Hazelden Betty Ford websites in 2015 seeking information on a variety of alcohol and drug addiction topics, including treatment, recovery, education, public advocacy, and products in our online bookstore. -The Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation's Social Community-an online network for people interested in recovery-featured discussion boards, chatrooms, blogs, a book club, and online meetings accessible to anyone from anywhere in the world. By year's end, 45,000 people had joined the community, and a plan was initiated to update the community's name and platform in 2016. Hazelden Betty Ford's Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, and other social media accounts, along with our online Alumni Network and award winning mobile apps, offered additional access to recovery resources, providing daily inspiration, information, and fellowship.

Resource Center: In 2015, Hazelden Betty Ford's Resource Center received a total of 162,365 calls and 3,159 online inquiries from people seeking information, assistance, and products related to addiction issues. Note: These numbers reflect the installation of a new phone system and integration of our new website. During much of this time, we were unable to track calls or online volume due to limited reporting options.-Part of the Resource Center's work is connecting people with the help they need, in the form of products, services, and free information. For those in need of resources beyond what Hazelden Betty Ford provides, the Resource Center searches its database of more than 30,000 agencies to locate other possible assistance.

Return Reference Explanation
Part II-B, Line 1: In 2015, the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation launched its new Institute for Recovery Advocacy, merging and revitalizing public advocacy efforts formerly carried out by the Hazelden Center for Public Advocacy and the Betty Ford Institute. The effort to confront the growing prescription pain pill and heroin epidemic was the main focus of the Hazelden Betty Ford Institute for Recovery Advocacy in 2015. By informing audiences and key stakeholders about important issues like this, the Institute's goal is to improve the formulation of policy at its earliest stage. The Institute also supports each Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation facility, its employees and other interested stakeholders by responding to requests and providing them with information on relevant federal, state and local legislation. The Institute was involved in several public forums on the dangers of prescription painkiller misuse. It hosted some of these events and collaborated on others, providing speakers and information as part of its focus on influencing public perception and awareness through education about addiction, treatment and recovery. The Institute organized and hosted two policy symposiums on Capitol Hill-"Preventing Opioid Deaths Among Young People" in June and "Preparing Prescribers to Confront the Opioid Crisis" in October-both with the support of key Congressional caucuses. Combined, the two events drew more than 400 people. Speakers included nine Members of Congress, a key state official from Kentucky, the White House Director of National Drug Control Policy, recovery and medical experts, and public figures. The events, which included the release of a new national survey on youth opioid use, generated significant press coverage and social media activity, and promoted our policy initiatives. Another marquee event took place in August at Northrop Auditorium on the University of Minnesota campus in Minneapolis. There, the Institute helped convene a statewide opioid summit dubbed "Pain.Pill.Problem.," which drew more than 1,000 attendees, generated excellent press coverage and featured high-profile speakers like the governor, the U.S. Attorney for Minnesota and three Members of Congress. In addition, the Institute hosted, sponsored or provided speakers for 20 other events focused on opioids, other policy areas and/or stigma, including school and community forums as well as national and state conventions. In other policy activity, the Institute helped the wider organization's leading doctors provide written and oral testimony to two key Congressional panels, arranged meetings with the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, and engaged in ongoing dialogue with a number of Members of Congress and their staffs. The Institute also helped lead a grassroots advocacy effort in support of new opioid prescription guidelines proposed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The Institute continued to play a leading role in the Parity Implementation Coalition (PIC), which advocates for robust implementation of the federal "parity" law that expands access to addiction treatment through private health care insurance. Not all of the Institute's efforts were focused on national public policy. In Minnesota, the organization played a role with state lawmakers in making the case for the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of substance abuse treatment in these tight budgetary times. In addition, the Institute hosted and participated in a recovery advocacy seminar in St. Paul. The Hazelden Betty Ford Institute for Recovery Advocacy regularly receives requests for information on addiction, treatment and recovery issues from federal, state and local legislatures and governments. Membership in associations related to the addiction field and the preservation of the services the organization provides allows it to join forces with others sharing similar concerns and interests. The Institute tapped its resources to influence policy and public attitudes by engaging the news media and collaborating with grassroots community-based organizations across the country on local, state and federal policy issues. The Hazelden Betty Ford Institute for Recovery Advocacy advances these Guiding Principles: Addiction to alcohol and other drugs is a chronic illness and a public health problem affecting all Americans; addiction is a treatable illness with measurable outcomes of success, and the Hazelden Betty Ford's treatment modality offers people the best opportunity to find lifelong recovery; standardized treatment outcomes are integral to ensuring that people receive proper care. These outcome standards must also help to define the treatment field's role in the continuum of health care services at the state and federal level; all people with addiction disease deserve to find recovery through a level of treatment and related services that is appropriate to meet their individual needs; the stigma of addiction is a major barrier to recovery; access to care will improve by ending discrimination against people with this illness.

Part III, Line 4: Hazelden maintains a collection of historically significant books and archives on recovery and addiction which can be used for research as well as being on public display.
Part V, Line 4: Earnings from the endowment funds are used for the purposes as specified by donor restrictions, including patient aid, operations, research, student aid, prevention programs and special projects.
Part X, Line 2: In accordance with the accounting standard on Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, the Foundation addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, the Foundation may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merit of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of the Foundation and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities during fiscal year 2015. Open tax years subject to examination by the U.S and state taxing authorities are for the years 2013 to 2015, which statutes expire in 2016 to 2018, respectively.

Betty Ford Center Part V, Section B, Line 5: In November of 2015 the organization consulted with over a dozen stakeholders, staff, physicians and other members of management.
Betty Ford Center Part V, Section B, Line 7d: www.hazeldenbettyford.org/treatment/locations/betty-ford-center-rancho-mirage
Betty Ford Center Part V, Section B, Line 11: The CHNA identified gaps in services that Betty Ford Center is able to provide. The strategies for addressing these gaps are detailed within the implementation plan. The gaps to be addressed include the following:-Expanding services to treat addiction in individuals aged 55 and older;-Establishing additional outpatient treatment facilities within the service area-Offering children's services to the community-Presenting education on addiction, treatment, and recovery-Providing training on marijuana and options for prevention, intervention, and treatment; and-Addressing the opioid epidemic in the state of California through advocacy, prevention, education, and treatmentThe strategy to expand services to those age 55 and older calls for the development and implementation of a business plan to expand services for older adults through the "Recovery@60Plus Program." The second strategy being considered is the collaboration with senior housing communities and/or agencies in and around Betty Ford Center to enchance awareness of the signs and symptoms of prescription drug addiction and alcoholism.In addressing the needs of additional outpatient service facilities within the service area, Betty Ford Center has created a business plan to expand services in the San Diego area and will continue to assess the need for outpatient services in the area.The next area of significant need is the offering of children's services to the community. The strategy is to collaborate with schools and school districts in the service area to reach more students. The other tactic is to expand opportunities for impacted children to attend Children's Pograms through scholarship programs. The Children's Program is funded entirely through donor support.The fourth priority is to educate the community on addiction, treatment, and recovery which as a three pronged plan:-Expand the community service programming for both the surrounding outreach and online communities by sponsoring 6-8 Awareness Hour programs per year on various topics as they relate to addiction.-Feature internal and external experts in their field as speakers; and-Provide educational materials and online resources for all individuals.The next priority is to provide training and education on marijuana and options for prevention, intervention and treatment which will be accomplished by serving as a resource and promote materials being developed by the wider Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation for different audiences to better understand and address the use and legalization of marijuana. The organization will also facilitate "thought leaders" to provide education on marijuana, its medical uses, and options for prevention, intervention, and treatment.The final priority is to address the opioid epidemic in state of California. This will be accomplished by providing broad-based advocacy efforts and community education to address the opioid crisis. The organization will mobilize the local communities on prevention, intervention, and referral to treatment strategies to impact the opioid epidemic. Education will also be provided on both the community and professional level about the proven track record of the evidence-based Comprehensive Opioid Response with Twelve Steps treament protocol along with training for other treatment providers.
Betty Ford Center Part V, Section B, Line 13h: Factors other than the Federal Poverty Guidelines that are used by Hazelden Betty Ford for determining eligibilty for financial assistance include proof of household income, evaluation of assets, number of dependents living in the household, debt associated with major assets to determine net worth, major monthly debt payments to calculate debt to income ratio, and trust documents, if any.
Betty Ford Center Part V, Section B, Line 22d: Following a determination of patient aid eligibility, a patient will not be charged more than the amount generally billed to individuals who have insurance for emergency or medically necessary care. Betty Ford Center calculates the amount generally billed by multiplying the gross charges for any emergency or other medically necessary care it provides to a patient aid eligible individual by a percentage calculated based upon all claims paid in full to the hospital facility by private health insurers and the individuals they insured over a specified 12-month period, divided by the associated gross charges for those claims. Medicare and Medicad are not accepted at Betty Ford Center so private insurance is the only available method to determine amounts billed.

Form and Line Reference Explanation
Part I, Line 3c: Factors other than the Federal Poverty Guidelines that are used by Hazelden Betty Ford for determining eligibilty for financial assistance include proof of household income, evaluation of assets, number of dependents living in the household, debt associated with major assets to determine net worth, major monthly debt payments to calculate debt to income ratio, and trust documents, if any.
Part III, Line 2: The bad debt expense is calculated as 75% of the accounts receivable over 90 days.
Part III, Line 4: All patient service revenue is produced from private pay, commercial insurance, or managed care insurance contracts. The primary collection risks related to private pay accounts, including private pay for which the primary insurance carrier has paid the amounts covered by the applicable agreement, but patient responsibility amounts (deductibles and copayments) remain outstanding. The allowance for doubtful accounts relates primarily to private pay accounts over 90 days old. The allowance is calculated based on balances over 90 days and on historical experience and management's evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable at the end of each year. Hazelden Betty Ford's collection policies include a review of all accounts against certain standard collection criteria and are written off when all reasonable internal collection efforts have been performed. Accounts with balances over 90 days old determined to possess positive collectability attributes are fowarded to an external collection agency. Write-offs are based upon specific identification and the write-off process requires an adjustment entry to the patient accounting system. Receivables are generally unsecured. Hazelden Betty Ford does not charge interest on accounts receivable balances that are past due.
Part III, Line 9b: The Betty Ford Center will not engage in extraordinary collection actions before it makes a reasonable effort to determine whether a patient is eligible for financial assistance under the financial aid policy. Actions that may be taken against a patient for nonpayment include utilizing a collection agency for debts older than 120 days. If a collection agency identifies a patient as meeting the Betty Ford Center's financial assistance eligibility criteria, the patient's account may be considered for patient aid. Collection activity will be suspended on these accounts and the Betty Ford Center will review the financial assistance application. If the entire account is adjusted, the account will be returned to the Betty Ford Center. If a partial adjustment occurs, the patient fails to cooperate with the financial assistance process, or if the patient is not eligible for patient aid, collection activity will resume.
Part VI, Line 2: A community health needs assessment was completed for Betty Ford Center in 2015 which allows the organizaiton to understand the needs of the community.
Part VI, Line 3: Hazelden Betty Ford will include notices regarding the availablity of patient aid on its website, and in marketing and program-related materials, and in locations where there is a high volume of admission and or registration related activity.
Part VI, Line 4: The service area for Betty Ford Center has been defined to include Los Angeles County, Orange County, Riverside County, San Bernardino County, and San Diego County. The service area definition was determined by calculating the area where the majority of Betty Ford Center's inpatient population resides. The service areas have a total population of nearly 20.6 million and represents approximately 50% of the statewide population of nearly 40 million residents. The Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish service area population totals 9.2 million. This represents 44.3% of the total report area population. The service area household income is nearly 3% lower than California's average of $87,152, and nearly 15% higher than the national average of $74,699. The service area (83%) graduation rates fair slightly lower than statewide (83.8%) averages but fair slightly better than the United States (82.2%) graduation rates. Within the service area 16.4% or nearly 3.3 million individuals are living in households with income below the Federal Poverty Level. As of August 2015, total unemployment in the service area was 792,444 or 7.9% of the civilian non-institutionalized population age 16 and older (non-seasonally adjusted).

Return Reference Explanation
Form 990, Part III, line 2 The Board of Trustees for Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation and the Board of Trustees for Betty Ford Center at Eisenhower combined their operations to better fulfill their respective missions and to enhance their ability to serve patients and other stakeholders. The Betty Ford Center merged into Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation on Jan 1, 2015 forming one organization. As a result of the mereger, Hazelden Betty Ford now operates the Betty Ford Center treatment programs in Rancho Mirage, CA which include inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment, adult services, young adult services, family & children's progams and recovery housing along with two children's program's, one in Dallas, TX and one in Denver, CO.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 Hazelden Betty Ford sent its Form 990, with Schedule B suppressed, via email to Board members for review and questions prior to filing. It was also reviewed by the CFO and General Counsel prior to filing.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c Hazelden Betty Ford requires an annual disclosure of any potential conflict of interest by Board members, officers and key employees. If a Board member discloses a potential conflict, that person then excuses him or herself from voting on that particular issue. All new board members are provided conflict of interest education and periodic training throughout their term. All board members sign an annual conflict of interest disclosure form.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 Hazelden Betty Ford has an established process for determining the compensation of the President and CEO, other officers and key employees. The Hazelden Betty Ford by-laws delegate responsibility for determining compensation for the President and CEO, other officers and key employees to the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees. The Executive Committee develops, reviews, and modifies, as necessary, the compensation philosophy for Hazelden Betty Ford. Hazelden Betty Ford has the following processes in place: 1. Each year the Board members complete a conflict of interest disclosure. The documents are reviewed by Hazelden Betty Ford's General Counsel and if a Board member has a conflict of interest they are not involved in any compensation decisions. 2. The Executive Committee engages the use of an outside independent compensation consultant to identify comparable market data for comparable positions for the President and CEO and other disqualified individuals consistent with the approved compensation philosophy. Generally, the market analysis includes competitive data from published survey sources, supplemented with compensation data from custom 990 analyses. Where possible, competitive data are pulled from similarly sized organizations. The compensation consultant analyzes the pay packages of the President and CEO and other disqualified individuals by reviewing base salary, total cash compensation (salary plus annual incentive at both target and actual levels) and total direct compensation (salary plus annual and long-term incentive). In addition, every two to three years the Executive Committee reviews the total compensation package of the President and CEO and other disqualified individuals. The total compensation package includes total direct compensation plus severance, employee benefits, perquisites and any other pay. 3. Comparable market data are reviewed and discussed by the Executive Committee and minutes record those discussions and any resulting compensation decisions. A compensation review for the President and CEO was most recently done in August 2015. The compensation review for other officers and key employees was completed in August 2015.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 Hazelden Betty Ford makes its annual report available to the public via its website at www.hazeldenbettyford.org. The governing documents and conflict of interest policy are not available for public inspection.
Form 990, Part XI, line 9: Intangibles acquired during merger with The Betty Ford Center 12,293,019.
Part VI, Section A: The Executive committee of the Board of Trustees has the authority to act on behalf of the Board between the Board's regular meetings, subject to the limitations of power listed below. The Executive committee consists of the Chair of the Board, the immediate past Chair, if a member of the Board, Vice Chairs of the Board, President (ex-officio non-voting), Secretary, Treasurer, and the Chair of each standing committee. Limitations of Powers: The Executive committee does not have the power to elect a trustee, to alter fundamental policies approved by the Board, to make appropriations which are not in accordance with the general policies approved by the Board, to modify, revoke or renew any contract previously entered into by the Board or to change the person or persons specifically designated by the Board to enter into or execute on behalf of the organization a particular contract, obligation, agreement or writing authorized by action of the Board of Trustees.
PART X, LINES 15 & 25 Under the new Accounting Standards Update 2015-03, debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are presented as a direct reduction to the carrying amount of that debt liability. Hazelden Betty Ford elected to adopt the guidance early and was retrospectively applied to the 2014 period. Due to this change, capitalized finance costs were reclassified from Other Assets to Other Liabilities in the amount of $987,446 for 2014 on the 2015 Form 990.
PART X, LINES 17 & 20 Under the new Accounting Standards Update 2015-03, debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are presented as a direct reduction to the carrying amount of that debt liability. Hazelden Betty Ford elected to adopt the guidance early and was retrospectively applied to the 2014 period. Due to this change, Hazelden Betty Ford chose to reclassify the premimum on bond payable from Accrued Expenses to Tax-exempt Bond Liability in the amount of $2,671,682, with a zero net effect.
