| Schedule A, Part IV, Section A, Line 8 Loan to disqualified person | Health and Palliative Services of the Treasure Coast, Inc. extended a loan to Susan de Cuba, the organization's President and CEO, in July 2013. The loan is based on a five-year repayment schedule at terms that include an interest rate based on the "applicable federal rates" as published by the IRS in accordance with IRC Section 1274(d). The terms of the loan were approved in advance by the organization's governing board of directors. Because the terms of the loan are at fair market value at the time the loan was established, the loan does not constitute a section 4958 excess benefit transaction. |
| Schedule A, Part IV, Section C, Line 1 Majority director detail | The board of directors of the following supported organizations - Hospice of the Treasure Coast ("HOTC") and Hospice of Martin and St. Lucie ("HMSL") - are identical to the board of directors of Health and Palliative Services of the Treasure Coast, Inc ("HPSTC"). As a supporting organization, HPSTC is supervised, or controlled in connection with its supported organizations and therefore is designated a Type II supporting organization. HPSTC meets this classification because the board of directors for HOTC and HMSL are identical to the HPSTC board and the management of HPSTC is vested in the same persons that control and manage each of the supported organizations. The corporation is the sole member of each of the supported organizations and thus controls the financial planning for all of the supported organizations, but takes advice from the board of directors of each of the supported organizations concerning the needs of such organizations, as there are members of the governing boards of the supported organizations who also serve as directors on the HPSTC board. Furthermore, the President and CEO and the CFO of HPSTC are also the President and CEO and CFO of the supported organizations. The fact that the management of HPSTC is vested in the same persons that control and manage the supported organizations allows HPSTC and its three supported organizations to function collectively as a health system. HPSTC provides management and administrative support to the supported organizations and palliative care services that further the supported organizations' tax-exempt purpose of providing health care services to the community. The fact that the core leadership team of each of the supported organizations is also HPSTC's core leadership team assures that HPSTC is responsive to the needs and demands of the supported organizations and that HPSTC constitutes an integral part of and maintains a significant involvement in the operations of the supported organizations. |

| Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official | In 2015 a nationally recognized external consultant was engaged to conduct a comprehensive comparability study, and to confirm that the CEO compensation was aligned with the philosophy of the organization and market standards. The Compensation of the CEO is determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board, which shall include the Chairman of the Board and other members of the Board as appointed by the Chairman. The Chairman of the Board or his designee shall be the Chairman of the Committee. The Compensation Committee's responsibilities shall include: (a) to establish the compensation of the President & CEO of the corporation (b) review the compensation of the President & CEO of the Corporation at least annually, utilizing comparability data and establish merit increases if any in salary, incentive bonus, etc. (c) provide an annual report of finding to the full Board of Directors. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b Process to establish compensation of other employees | The organization strives to provide base salary that meets the market standard when employees are fully proficient and meeting expectations. As such, base salary for officers and key employees will be targeted at the 50th percentile of the competitive market. In addition the organization will utilize incentive pay as a way to meet the strategic goals of the organization. The base salary plus incentive pay for executives is targeted between the 50th and 75th percentile. In 2015, a nationally recognized external consultant was engaged to conduct a comprehensive comparable salary survey, and to assure that this philosophy is being met. The organization provides standard health, welfare, retirement and other benefits or perquisites that are comparable to those provided by similar organizations. The compensation of the other officers and key employees is determined by the President and CEO using the comparability report and the process and decisions are documented in each employees' file. |
