| CORE FORM, PART III, STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | Background ========== Newark Beth Israel Medical Center ("NBIMC"), a 665-bed teaching hospital established in 1901, provides comprehensive healthcare services to its local communities and is a major referral and treatment center for patients throughout the northern New Jersey metropolitan area. NBIMC is located in the County of Essex, within the city of Newark, which has the most population of all cities in New Jersey. Essex County is the second most densely populated county in the state and the 14th most densely populated in the United States. Essex County is the second most densely populated of the 21 counties and has the third largest total population in the state. Essex has the third largest total population in the state containing 21 counties had had the 6th largest increase in population size estimated from 2010 to 2018. Essex County, a leading financial and industrial hub of the state, consists of both urban and suburban communities that represent a broad range of racial/ethnic and cultural diversity. NBIMC is a major teaching hospital and is recognized by the internal revenue service ("IRS") as an internal revenue code section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Pursuant to its charitable purposes, NBIMC provides medically necessary healthcare services to all individuals in a non-discriminatory manner regardless of age, color, race, religion, national origin, sex, sexual preference, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, genetic predisposition, handicap or disability, marital status, pregnancy status, ability to pay or source of payment or for services in the United States Armed Forces. Moreover, NBIMC operates consistently with the following criteria outlined in IRS revenue ruling 69-545: 1. NBIMC provides medically necessary healthcare services to all individuals regardless of ability to pay, including charity care, self-pay, Medicare and Medicaid patients; 2. NBIMC operates an active emergency department for all persons which is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days per year; with both specialized pediatric and geriatric emergency rooms; 3. NBIMC maintains an open medical staff, with privileges available to all qualified physicians; 4. Control of NBIMC rests with its board of trustees and the board of trustees of RWJ Barnabas Health, Inc. Both boards are comprised of independent civic leaders and other prominent members of the community; and 5. Surplus funds are used to improve the quality of patient care, expand and renovate facilities and advance medical care, programs and activities. The operations of NBIMC, as shown through the factors outlined above and other information contained herein, clearly demonstrate that the hospital provides substantial community benefit and that the use and control of NBIMC is for the benefit of the public and that no part of the income or net earnings of the organization inures to the benefit of any private individual, nor is any private interest being served other than incidentally. NBIMC's sole corporate member is RWJ Barnabas Health, Inc. ("RWJ BHthe "System"). RWJ BH is also the tax-exempt New Jersey non-profit parent corporation of RWJBARNABAS HEALTH ("RWJBH"); an integrated healthcare delivery system. The sole member of each entity is either RWJ BH or another RWJBH affiliate controlled or owned by RWJ BH. NBIMC, like its corporate parent, is a not-for-profit organization. RWJBH is a tax-exempt integrated healthcare delivery system consisting of a group of affiliated healthcare organizations. RWJBH was formed with the merger of Barnabas Health Inc. ("BH"), the parent of the Barnabas Health System ("Barnabas Health"), and Robert Wood Johnson Health Care Corporation ("RWJHCC"), the parent of the former Robert Wood Johnson Health System ("RWJHS"). The definitive agreement signed on July 14, 2015, outlined the combination of these two leading health systems and created the largest and most comprehensive healthcare delivery system in the state of New Jersey and one of the largest in the nation RWJBH. The transaction (hereinafter referred to as the "merger") successfully completed federal and state review in March 2016, and the transaction closed operationally on April 1, 2016. The background of BH includes its formation in June 1996 when six New Jersey hospitals and their affiliates joined Saint Barnabas Medical Center and Union Hospital (), which had affiliated in 1993. The six hospitals included: Community Medical Center, Inc. and Kimball Medical Center, Inc., which had affiliated in 1993 to form the Community/Kimball Health Care System; Newark Beth Israel Medical Center, Inc. and Irvington General Hospital, Inc. ("Irvington"), affiliates of each other since 1991; Monmouth Medical Center, Inc.; and Wayne General Hospital Corp. ("Wayne"). In January 1997, West Hudson Hospital Association, Inc. ("West Hudson") joined Barnabas Health, followed by Clara Maass Medical Center in December 1997. Barnabas Health subsequently divested Wayne, closed West Hudson, Irvington, and Union and consolidated their operations into other system facilities. Most recently, Jersey City Medical Center joined Barnabas Health in 2014. The background of RWJHCC includes its formation in 1984 to promote, support and further the charitable purposes of the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital and other affiliated and related non-profit healthcare organizations. RWJHS then expanded to include Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital at Hamilton, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Rahway, Childrens Specialized Hospital, Somerset Medical Center, and other healthcare related ventures. RWJBH is the largest multi-hospital system in New Jersey and continues to provide substantial community benefit as was previously provided by its formative health systems, BH and RWJHCC. RWJBH entities provide medically necessary healthcare services to all individuals regardless of ability to pay. Moreover, RWJBH entities provide healthcare services to patients who meet certain criteria defined by the New Jersey department of health without charge or at amounts less than established rates. RWJBH maintains records to identify and monitor the amount of charity care it provides. These records include the amount of charges foregone for services and supplies furnished under its charity care policy. RWJBH is New Jerseys second largest private employer with approximately 32,000 employees, nearly 7,300 individual physicians on the combined medical staffs (of which, in excess of 1,600 are employed), and over 1,000 residents and interns. RWJBH routinely captures national awards for outstanding quality and safety. The new combined system has annual operating revenues in excess of $5 billion and treats over three million patients each year with nearly 198,000 inpatient admissions, over two million outpatient visits (including over 742,000 emergency department visits) and nearly 24,000 newborn and neonatal admissions. RWJBHs composition includes 11 acute care hospitals, three acute care childrens hospitals, a leading pediatric rehabilitation hospital, a freestanding acute behavioral health center, ambulatory care centers, geriatric centers, the states largest behavioral health network, ambulatory surgery centers, comprehensive home care and hospice programs, fitness and wellness centers, retail pharmacy services, medical groups, diagnostic imaging centers and two accountable care organizations. RWJBH created with a strong foundation of shared cultures and core values provides opportunity to improve the health and promote wellness of communities throughout New Jersey. The systems geographic coverage spans the greater Hudson, Essex, Union, Middlesex, Mercer, Somerset, Monmouth and Ocean counties and encompasses the center of the state serving in excess of five million residents. Through sharing of resources, best practices, as well as economies gained through consolidation of support services, the combination of Barnabas Health and RWJHS promotes the highest quality healthcare delivery and greater levels of efficiency. |
| CORE FORM, PART III, STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | In 2018, RWJBH announced with Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, the official launch of their public-private partnership to jointly operate a world-class academic health system dedicated to life-changing research, clinical training of tomorrows workforce, and high-quality healthcare for all.

Heart Transplant Program & Heart Failure Treatment The renowned heart transplant center has performed over 1,000 heart transplants, ranking amongst the highest transplant volume centers in the country. The heart transplant program has been one of the fifteen most active in the country for nine consecutive years and is one of only two sites in the nation to achieve better than expected 3-year heart transplant survival rates from 2004 to 2007 (based on data from the national scientific registry of transplant recipients). The program provides the most advanced treatment options available anywhere in New Jersey for people with congestive heart failure or end stage cardiac disease including the ultimate treatment; organ transplantation. NBIMC's short and long-term survival rates have continually surpassed both regional and national averages. Furthermore, the patients spend less time waiting for a heart transplant than most candidates across the country. The experienced multidisciplinary team has worked closely together under the same leadership for more than 20 years. NBIMC is a designated ventricular assist devise ("VAD") center and was one of the first in NJ to employ extracorporeal membrane oxygenation ("ECMO"). 2. RWJBarnabas Health Heart Center at NBIMC The premier cardiac services provide immediate access to highly sophisticated heart surgery. Members of the surgical team are recognized as national leaders in the field of cardiothoracic surgery and are advancing the latest minimally invasive techniques that offer patients faster recovery and fewer complications. The center's reputation for excellence has made them educational resources for cardiac surgeons throughout the northeast. Services include minimally invasive cardiac surgery/robotic surgery, beating heart surgery, transcatheter aortic valve replacement ("TAVR") and integrative cardiac wellness. To ensure everyone with heart disease has access to the specialized services, our cardiac team sees patients at satellite offices throughout the state. In conjunction with its affiliates, Saint Barnabas Medical Center and Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, the heart centers performed nearly 2,000 open heart procedures in 2018. 3. Lung transplant and the center for advanced lung disease New Jersey's only lung transplant program, the RWJBarnabas Health advanced lung disease and transplant program at NBIMC, offers increased access to single and double lung transplant and comprehensive treatment and management of chronic and complex lung disease. To-date, the center has already performed over 100 transplants. The program brings specialty services to the state improving the lives of people with advanced lung conditions including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ("COPD"), cystic fibrosis, pulmonary fibrosis and pulmonary hypertension. While a primary goal of the program is to identify suitable candidates for a transplant, the comprehensive multidisciplinary evaluation can also benefit patients who are not transplant candidates. The program offers complete evaluation and treatment plans for patients with lung diseases such as: asthma, cystic fibrosis interstitial lung diseases, alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary fibrosis, sarcoidosis, lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), scleroderma, pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, and pulmonary hypertension. State-of-the-art diagnostic services include: CT-guided biopsy, navigational bronchoscopy, and endobronchial ultrasound, bronchial thermoplasty, endobronchial resection of tumors, endobronchial stents, and pleurax catheter placement for malignant pleural effusions and whole lung lavage. The center has various ongoing cutting edge research trials helping patients with end-stage lung disease. 4. Children's Hospital of New Jersey ("CHONJ") CHONJ provides comprehensive healthcare programs and services to children of all ages. The hospital within a hospital combines the most advanced facilities and technology dedicated exclusively to pediatric patients with the philosophy of family centered care. Pediatric and neonatal services of the children's hospital range from primary/preventive care services to critical intensive and intermediate acute care for children and newborns. NBIMC has the largest pediatric intensive care unit in the state. Specialty services include the children's heart center providing the most comprehensive pediatric cardiac and cardiac surgery services in the state, neonatal intensive and intermediate care, pediatric emergency services, pulmonary services, the state's only pediatric ECMO provider, pediatric video monitoring unit, Valerie Fund Cancer Center, hemophilia treatment center, moderate sedation, robotic surgery and the primary and physician subspecialty services of the family health center. Families experience a warm, comforting environment in which physicians, nurses and clinical staff understand the unique needs of children and the vital role of parents in the healing process. 5. Comprehensive Hemophilia Treatment Center One of only six state-designated centers in New Jersey, the Comprehensive Hemophilia Treatment Center provides care to both pediatric and adult patients with inherited bleeding and clotting disorders. The center offers complete evaluations by a team of experts including hematologists, nurses, psychosocial professionals, and physical therapists. Consultation by infectious disease specialists, dentists, nutritionists, gastroenterologists, orthopedists, and other specialists is provided as needed. Our center's goal is to provide the latest advances in treatment for people with hemophilia, assist in the care of the complications of hemophilia, and continue to provide support to persons with hemophilia and their families with the goal of achieving a normal lifestyle. The center provides care for children and adults with Von Willebrand disease and other bleeding disorders. Patients with thrombosis (clotting disorder) receive comprehensive treatment at the center. We also coordinate a home care program which enables persons with hemophilia to lead normal, productive lives. The home care program allows for immediate treatment, thus avoiding the delay, stress and cost of emergency department care. Adult and pediatric infectious disease and gastrointestinal specialists provide comprehensive care for hemophilia patients with aids and/or hepatitis and their partners. 6. Robotic Surgery Robotic surgery is offered in many specialties including cardiac, urology, pediatric surgery, gynecology, uro-gynecology and general surgery. Performing minimally invasive procedures can be less traumatic to patients and allow for quicker recovery times. NBIMC also offers bloodless surgery and celebrated 10 years of service in 2014. The robotic surgery program at NBIMC was one of the country's first. Hundreds of physicians in New Jersey and around the world have received training from robotic surgeons at NBIMC. In addition, physicians at NBIMC were some of the first trained in single site surgery. |
| CORE FORM, PART III, STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | Medical and Community Services ============================== NBIMC services include an array of additional medical services and programs that address the healthcare needs of its communities, from diagnostic, to prevention and treatment. We are always looking for innovative ways to reach members of our community as we work to improve health status. A few of our successful programs include: Monday night football/men's health night with the Beth ------------------------------------------------------ NBIMC was looking for a better way to connect men to having healthy lifestyles and to engage them in improving their quality of life through healthy living. We decided to create programming that would combine things that men enjoy (sports) with things that men historically don't do (have regular health checkups and screenings). Two years ago, we created and hosted Monday night football/men's health night with the Beth. The goal was to use a former NFL player (George Martin) to encourage men to follow his journey to healthy living through diet, exercise and positive living. The evening event includes a presentation by George Martin, followed by power point presentations by four physicians from NBIMC; a cardiologist, an orthopedic surgeon, a urologist and a primary care physician. Before and after the presentations, the men receive a number of screenings, followed by massages and more. The event is strategically held at the Maplewood golf course, and the evening includes a mini-golf exercise as well. Following the presentations, the tailgate party kicks off with food and beverages better than the giants parking lot, followed by the game on tv screens throughout the Maplewood country club. In the first year, our goal was to have 50 men. By the time word spread days before the event, we hosted 102 men, many of whom are now connected to the Beth and who have received a prostate screening and more. This past year, 106 men were immediately screened for prostate as well. In the second year, a Newark fireman told us this event is his yearly reminder to get healthy and stay healthy. He said from Monday night football, he found that he had diabetes and hypertension. He has since lost more than 50 pounds and continues to enjoy life more fully. Men's health night has since spread to high school athletes (unisex) where George Martin speaks to athletes at Newark's Shabazz High School about healthy living and we are about to launch a similar program at our second church. Women's Health Day at the Beth ------------------------------ The women of the South Ward of Newark and other parts of the city always support NBIMCs annual health fair which has been held in September for more than 15 years. A couple of years ago, so many women attended the event that it gave us the idea of creating a health day just for women. The health day would include lectures, guest speakers, screenings, wellness and an exclusive lunch as part of a wellness initiative to improve the health of women in Newark. The first year, we partnered with Rutgers university/Newark to encourage students, professors and employees to join us on a journey of wellness. More than 200 women registered for the day-long wellness program that included NBIMC physicians focused on women's health. The second year, we decided to develop a program for 100 women. From screenings and private consultations with physicians to conversations with geriatricians to yoga, cooking, diet, exercise, massages and healthy eating classes, the day became the highlight of their commitment to begin a regimen of healthy living. The day also included special gifts for women such as journals, makeup donated by Queen Latifah/Revlon, and gifts to serve as a reminder that healthy living can be rewarding. We are looking at ways to explore new ground and new opportunities to make wellness a focal point for the women of the South Ward and Newark. Documentary - 'Food for Thought: The Path to Food Security in Newark' --------------------------------------------------------------------- In 2018, NBIMC filmed and debuted a documentary which used young people from the community (ages 14-21) as 'citizen journalists' who interviewed and videotaped stakeholders from the community to find out whether or not they felt the community had sufficient access to healthy food. The project was funded and supported by RWJ Barnabas Health, Newark Beth Israel Medical Center, and the Greater Newark Community Advisory Board. The goal was to create a compelling documentary that chronicled the availability of healthy food resources in the city of Newark. It was intended to help raise awareness about food security in Newark and was used to facilitate community-wide discussions about how best to leverage city and neighborhood resources to ensure that every Newark resident has access to affordable, nutritious, and healthy food. The purpose was to identify opportunities to enhance, and create greater access to, Newark's healthy food supply. The Beth Greenhouse in Newark ----------------------------- One of the greatest barriers to a healthy and nutritious diet is access to fresh foods. In order to combat the growing epidemic of obesity in Newark, NBIMC and CHONJ have partnered together to help and expand the Beth Garden in Newark. In addition, with generous donations from Merck Company Foundation, Aetna Foundation, Victoria Foundation and most recently the Manischewitz Company, a sustainable greenhouse was constructed. The Beth Greenhouse provides year-round training, education, and job opportunities to the community. More than 10,000 pounds of high-quality, nutritious and locally grown lettuce, fruits, herbs, and greens are produced annually. The greenhouse is in the process of acquiring snap and provides a weekly farmers market to employees and the community. It also donates over 30 pounds of food weekly to the local soup kitchen. Kidsfit ------- Kidsfit is a wellness program that addresses both the treatment and prevention of obesity. It began as a multidisciplinary, nutrition education modality to treat obesity within childrens hospital of New Jersey and expanded to the community through elementary schools where children, their families, and teachers benefit from the expertise and resources of Newark Beth Israel Medical Center. The program focuses on cultivating healthy lifestyles and behaviors within the classroom. In 2017, it has been adapted to the retail venue and will be implemented 119 ShopRite stores in the tri-state area. Newark Beth Israel Registered Dietitians have trained the ShopRite Dietitians on the retail model of the program. In 2018 we partnered with Rutgers to expand the KidsFit program and create a train the trainer model. Newark Beths Wellness Registered Dietitians train school teachers on the KidsFit curriculum in order to expand the reach and improve the health and wellbeing of children across NJ. Program highlights and strengths: - focuses on the prevention of obesity and its co-morbidities through nutrition and activity education in the classroom where there is accountability for learning and in after school programs, providing reinforcement for lessons learned. Both are taught by a nutrition and fitness professional who are employees of NBIMC. - lessons learned in the classroom provide hands on tools that help foster healthy lifestyles for parents and families. - "train the trainer" component provides the education for teachers. - reaches each child through the classroom and facilitates parent and teacher involvement through homework assignments and projects. School Hydroponic System ------------------------ Thanks to the NJ Healthy Community Network grant we brought a mobile hydroponic system into classrooms of 3 schools (Peshine Elementary School, Harrison Elementary School, and JFK Elementary School). The mobile hydro-system taught students where healthy food comes from, what it tastes like and how to prepare. This system augmented the science curricula offering a hands on experience for teaching water cycles, pH balance and more. |
| CORE FORM, PART III, STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | Project Opportunity ------------------- The Beth Greenhouse and Opportunity Project have teamed up as community partners. The goal is to bring the brain injury community together in order to learn about sustainability, hydroponic gardening, and nutrition. Through the invaluable instruction of Karen Basedow, and Lorraine Gibbons, members of Opportunity Project were able to assist in planting, transplanting, and harvesting of various herbs and leafy greens. Members also were able to participate in nutrition classes at Newark Beth Israels Wellness Center led by Karen Basedow and her team. Through these combined courses, members were able to see the development of their produce from seeds to utilizing them in the kitchen at the Wellness Center. Members learned about the process of farming and the importance of consuming fresh, whole foods. The Rev. Dr. Ronald B. Community Health and Wellness Center ----------------------------------------------------------- The Wellness center offers a variety of health and wellness programming including nutrition education, healthy cooking classes, diabetes prevention and fitness classes (450 in total). Registered Dietitians lead community members to changing their lifestyles and improving their health and wellbeing. The wellness center classes address a knowledge deficit and provide the skill set needed to make healthy choices. The greenhouse and wellness center work in synergy increases the access to the healthy food participants are learning about in the classes. ShopRite -------- There is an extensive partnership with ShopRite in which the wellness team works closely with the corporate ShopRite to expand the reach of nutrition education and access to healthy foods. In addition to the retail version of KidsFit, the Newark Beth Israel Medical center Dietitians developed an adult wellness program and trained 60 ShopRite RDs on the program. Wellness focused internships ---------------------------- The Wellness team spent about 1,000 education hours educating and training dietetic interns, nutrition students, and public health interns. Community Partnerships-(Wellness-focused) ----------------------------------------- Newark Beth Israels wellness team supports the city of Newarks Community wellness initiatives including the Believe in Healthy Newark Initiative, The Childrens Cabinet and the Citys food policy initiative. These partnerships leverage each others work and provide opportunities for policy change within the city and Newark public school district. The Beth Challenge ------------------ The Beth Challenge is a wellness program that fosters lifestyle changes for improved health and well-being for life through nutrition and exercise education and support. Recognition and prizes are offered for those who lose the largest percentage of weight or meet their fitness goals at the end of a 12-week period. Contestants can enter as individuals, and/or teams. The program runs continuously during the year to reinforce importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The program began as a small weight loss contest for employees of NBIMC and quickly grew into a sustainable worksite wellness program that has served as program model and has been successfully replicated in the surrounding community. Program highlights and strengths: - promote health and wellness in the surrounding community; - employees who participate in the Beth Challenge program within the medical center set an example of healthy lifestyle behaviors for the community; - fosters collaboration with key community partners in delivering the wellness message; - provides nutrition and exercise education and support within the institution and within community venues such as faith based organizations, schools, businesses and government offices; - addresses obesity epidemic and obstacles to improving and/or achieving health through the expertise and support of the NBIMC; - provides nutrition and fitness education through monthly classes and counseling; - provides access to affordable exercise venues through partnerships with local fitness centers; and - program is currently in 15 churches in the greater Newark area. Faith in fitness faith based wellness mentorship program -------------------------------------------------------- Faith in fitness provides mentoring for a church member at each of our current affiliated churches to become a certified fitness professional from an accredited fitness association. Through NBIMC, the program grants each church funding to provide onsite training and materials and other costs incurred when pursuing certification as a fitness professional. Costs include instruction provided by a certified professional, books and study materials, CPR instruction, certification testing, and one years liability insurance. Purpose and goal: the faith in fitness program is an extension of our work with the faith-based community in the greater Newark area. It is an augmentation of our Beth Challenge program that currently provides parishioner engagement and support, wellness and lifestyle education, access to exercise venues and connection to our primary care services at NBIMC. By appointing and training parishioners in our churches to become health and wellness leaders, we can help sustain the culture of health and wellness beyond the 12 weeks of our challenge. It will also help us to continue to communicate the wellness message and strengthen the connection between NBIMC and the community. School based youth services program ("SBYSP") --------------------------------------------- Funded by a grant from New Jersey department of children & families, division of prevention and community partnerships, the office of school linked services, SBYSP is an on-site mental health counseling program that is managed by NBIMC staff at Barringer High School (BHS) in Newark.

THE COMMITTEE REVIEWS THE "TOTAL COMPENSATION" OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHICH IS INTENDED TO INCLUDE BOTH CURRENT AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION AND ALL EMPLOYEE BENEFITS, BOTH QUALIFIED AND NON-QUALIFIED.

THE AUTHORIZED BODY OBTAINED AND RELIED UPON "APPROPRIATE DATA AS TO COMPARABILITY" PRIOR TO MAKING ITS DETERMINATION; AND 3. THE AUTHORIZED BODY "ADEQUATELY DOCUMENTED THE BASIS FOR ITS DETERMINATION" CONCURRENTLY WITH MAKING THAT DETERMINATION. THE COMMITTEE IS COMPRISED OF MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES EACH OF WHO ARE INDEPENDENT AND ARE FREE FROM ANY CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. THE COMMITTEE RELIED UPON APPROPRIATE COMPARABLE DATA; SPECIFICALLY THE COMMITTEE OBTAINED A WRITTEN COMPENSATION STUDY FROM AN INDEPENDENT FIRM WHICH SPECIALIZES IN THE REVIEW OF HOSPITAL AND HEALTHCARE SYSTEM EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. THIS STUDY USED COMPARABLE GEOGRAPHIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC MARKET DATA INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, SIMILARLY SIZED HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS AND HOSPITALS, # OF LICENSED BEDS AND NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. THE COMMITTEE ADEQUATELY DOCUMENTED THE BASIS FOR ITS DETERMINATION THROUGH THE TIMELY PREPARATION OF WRITTEN MINUTES OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE MEETINGS DURING WHICH THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS WAS REVIEWED AND SUBSEQUENTLY APPROVED. THE ACTIONS OUTLINED ABOVE WITH RESPECT TO THE COMMITTEE AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS APPLIES TO CERTAIN RWJ BH SENIOR MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL. THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS OF CERTAIN OTHER INDIVIDUALS CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 990, WHERE APPLICABLE, ARE REVIEWED ANNUALLY BY THE RWJBARNABAS HEALTH PRESIDENT/CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER WITH ASSISTANCE FROM THE ORGANIZATION'S HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE INDIVIDUAL'S JOB PERFORMANCE DURING THE YEAR AND IS BASED UPON OTHER OBJECTIVE FACTORS DESIGNED TO ENSURE THAT REASONABLE AND FAIR MARKET VALUE COMPENSATION IS PAID BY THE ORGANIZATION.
