IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, ALL COVERED PERSONS HAVE A DUTY TO COMPLY WITH THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY FOR ANY CONTRACT, TRANSACTION, RELATIONSHIP, OR ACTIVITY CONTEMPLATED, ENTERED INTO, OR CONDUCTED AT HSHS. THE POLICY DEFINES COVERED PERSONS AS BOARD MEMBERS, BOARD COMMITTEE MEMBERS, OFFICERS, BOARD DESIGNEES, SENIOR MANAGEMENT, MEMBERS OF ANY COMMITTEE THAT OVERSEES THE APPROVAL OF PHARMACEUTICALS AND MEDICAL DEVICES, AND ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL WHO HOLDS A POSITION OF TRUST. ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, HSHS DISCLOSES A COPY OF THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, (AND ALL CORRESPONDING PROCEDURES, GUIDELINES, FORMS, AND TOOLS), TO ALL COVERED PERSONS, AND ADVISES ALL COVERED PERSONS IN WRITING OF ANY SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES TO THIS POLICY AND SUCH RELATED MATERIALS. THE COVERED PERSONS ARE REQUIRED TO REVIEW AND COMPLETE THE CORRESPONDING CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATEMENT. THE SYSTEM OFFICE VICE PRESIDENT, SYSTEM RESPONSIBILITY OR MEMBERS OF THE AUDIT AND INTEGRITY COMMITTEE ("COMMITTEE") ARE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS A COVERED PERSON MAY HAVE. IN ADDITION, IF, AT ANY TIME AFTER SUBMITTING AN ANNUAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATEMENT, A COVERED PERSON BECOMES AWARE OF AN INTEREST THAT HE OR SHE WOULD HAVE HAD TO DISCLOSE AT THE ANNUAL INTERVAL, THE COVERED PERSON SHALL PROMPTLY DISCLOSE THE INTEREST TO THE COMMITTEE USING THE HSHS CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE STATEMENT.

THE CONTRACT, TRANSACTION, ARRANGEMENT, OR ACTIVITY IS IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF HSHS; 3. THE CONTRACT, TRANSACTION, ARRANGEMENT, OR ACTIVITY IS FAIR AND REASONABLE FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF HSHS; AND 4. HSHS CANNOT OBTAIN A MORE ADVANTAGEOUS CONTRACT, TRANSACTION, ARRANGEMENT OR ACTIVITY WITH REASONABLE EFFORTS UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES. IN DETERMINING WHETHER A CONTRACT, TRANSACTION, OR ARRANGEMENT IS FAIR AND REASONABLE TO HSHS, THE COMMITTEE SHALL CONSIDER, WHERE APPLICABLE: 1. APPRAISALS OR OTHER INDEPENDENT VALUATIONS OF THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF THE CONTRACT, TRANSACTION, OR ARRANGEMENT; 2. INFORMATION REGARDING COMPARABLE CONTRACTS, TRANSACTIONS, OR ARRANGEMENTS BETWEEN UNRELATED PARTIES; 3. OFFERS FROM COMPARABLE COMPETING ENTITIES; AND/OR 4.

ALL CONFLICT MANAGEMENT PLANS SHALL: 1. STATE THAT THE COMMITTEE WILL OVERSEE, MONITOR, AND ENFORCE COMPLIANCE WITH THE PLAN THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE STUDY, AND SPECIFY MEANS FOR DOING SO, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THAT THE APPROPRIATE INDIVIDUALS MUST PROVIDE THE COMMITTEE WITH WRITTEN REPORTS PERTAINING TO COMPLIANCE WITH THE CONFLICT MANAGEMENT PLAN, THAT THE COMMITTEE SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO AUDIT THE STUDY FOR SUCH COMPLIANCE, AND THE RIGHT TO IMPOSE SANCTIONS FOR NON-COMPLIANCE; 2. STATE THAT THE PLAN MUST BE SHARED WITH COVERED PERSON WHOSE INTERESTS IT WAS DEVELOPED TO MANAGE; 3. STATE THAT THE PLAN MUST BE SHARED WITH, AND PERIODIC REPORTS ON COMPLIANCE WITH THE PLAN MUST BE PROVIDED TO THE BOARD, SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND/OR GOVERNMENT AGENCIES; AND 4. PROVIDE FOR SUCH OTHER MANAGEMENT STEPS AND MECHANISMS THE COMMITTEE CONSIDERS NECESSARY AND APPROPRIATE. IN ADDITION TO THE COMMITTEE, THE SYSTEM OFFICE VICE PRESIDENT OF SYSTEM RESPONSIBILITY AND RISK & COMPLIANCE MAY RETAIN SUCH INDEPENDENT ADVISORS OR EXPERTS AS DEEMED NECESSARY TO ASSIST IN MAKING ITS DETERMINATIONS AND DECISIONS. IF THE COMMITTEE DETERMINES THAT THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, RELATIONSHIP, ARRANGEMENT OR ACTIVITY CANNOT PROCEED DUE TO A CONFLICT OF INTEREST, THE COMMITTEE SHALL INFORM THE APPLICABLE COVERED PERSON OR DECISION-MAKING BODY OF SUCH DETERMINATION WITHIN ONE WEEK OF THE COMMITTEE MEETING AT WHICH THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION WAS DISCUSSED. THE COMMITTEE SHALL DOCUMENT ITS REJECTION OF THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION IN THE COMMITTEE'S MEETING MINUTES. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official | THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE (COMMITTEE) IS COMPRISED OF INDEPENDENT MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THE COMMITTEE DEVELOPS A COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY FOR THE SYSTEM AND ALL AFFILIATES. THE COMMITTEE SELECTS AND HIRES THE INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT TO DEVELOP COMPARABILITY DATA AND ADVISE THE COMMITTEE DURING ITS DELIBERATIONS REGARDING ALL ELEMENTS OF TOTAL COMPENSATION FOR ALL HSHS EXECUTIVES, (the top management official, other officers and key employees). INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE STRATEGIES ("IHS"), THE CONSULTANTS UTILIZED BY THE COMMITTEE, USE DATA FROM MULTIPLE TAX-EXEMPT PEER GROUP SOURCES (derived from a full market review conducted every other year) TO DETERMINE SALARY RANGES, INCENTIVE OPPORTUNITY RANGES AND BENEFITS FOR THE HSHS executives. IHS THEN ASSISTS THE COMMITTEE IN PREPARING CONTEMPORANEOUS DOCUMENTATION OF ALL ACTIONS. EACH COMMITTEE MEETING IS CONDUCTED WITH THE INTENT TO CREATE A REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS FOR ALL ELEMENTS OF EXECUTIVE TOTAL COMPENSATION. THE CHAIRMAN MAKES THIS DECLARATION AND ALSO INQUIRES IF THERE ARE ANY CONFLICTS OF INTEREST BY ANY ATTENDEES. ANY CONFLICTS ARE DISCLOSED AND THE COMMITTEE THEN ACTS IN A MANNER TO AVOID ANY CONFLICTED INDIVIDUAL PARTICIPATING IN ANY MANNER WHERE A CONFLICT MIGHT EXIST. AT THE END OF THE MEETING, THE COMMITTEE PREPARES CONTEMPORANEOUS MINUTES THAT RECORD ALL ACTIONS TAKEN DURING THE MEETING. The process for reviewing compensation by the compensation committee is completed each fiscal year. |

HSHS provides compassionate, holistic, high quality, and cost-effective health care through its acute care hospitals, physician practices, home health programs, palliative and hospice programs, and community outreach services. In addition, HSHS affiliated hospitals include critical access facilities that offer essential health services that otherwise would not be available in many communities. Our mission calls us to reveal and embody Christ's healing love for all people, and we extend our high quality Franciscan health care ministry beyond the walls of our hospitals by providing community health improvement services with special emphasis on the poor and vulnerable. In addition to providing community health improvement services to the broader community, HSHS cares for everyone who comes to its facilities, regardless of their ability to pay. In tandem with a variety of cross sector community partners, HSHS's Community Benefit initiatives are strategically planned and professionally implemented to improve access to health care services; enhance the health of the community; advance medical or general health care knowledge; and relieve or reduce the burden of government to improve health. The COVID-19 pandemic caused an unprecedented disruption in healthcare services across the United States. HSHS responded with services that benefited our communities, including free telehealth screenings, free testing, and coordination with other healthcare providers in the communities we serve to best ensure access to needed care. In FY2020, HSHS collectively provided $244.0 million in Community Benefit (10.0% of total hospital expenses) including more than $1 million in response to the pandemic. Of the total Community Benefit provided, HSHS spent $26.9 million provided for Financial Assistance (aka Charity Care) and $173.3 million for unreimbursed care provided as part of the Medicaid program. In addition, HSHS hospitals committed significant resources to treat Medicare patients. The cost of providing services to primarily elderly beneficiaries of the Medicare program - in excess of governmental and managed care contract payments - was $183.9 million. HSHS hospitals also recorded $26.4 million in uncollectible accounts. While HSHS does not count the latter two amounts as Community Benefit, they nonetheless reflect our commitment to serving all persons in need of care. In addition to the dollars invested in our Community Benefit programs, HSHS continues to reinvest any surplus revenue from operations and investments into new medical technology, facility infrastructure and health care services in our communities. By doing so, we ensure our ability to meet the ongoing demand for high quality, efficient and easily accessible health care. |
