Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

The filer's explanations (Part III)

PART I, LINE 1A
FIRST CLASS AND CHARTER TRAVEL AND UPGRADES TO SUCH ARE TREATED ON AN EXCEPTION BASIS ACCORDING TO COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH POLICY. COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH POLICY ALLOWS MEMBERS OF THE COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH BOARD OF STEWARDSHIP TRUSTEES TO BOOK BUSINESS CLASS FLIGHTS, OR FIRST CLASS IF BUSINESS CLASS IS NOT AVAILABLE, FOR FLIGHTS OF MORE THAN THREE HOURS DURATION. THIS POLICY EXCLUDES ANY PERSON WHO IS AN EMPLOYEE OF COMMONSPIRIT WHO MAY SERVE ON ANY BOARD OR BOARD COMMITTEE ASSOCIATED WITH COMMONSPIRIT OR ITS SUBSIDIARY. COMMONSPIRIT EMPLOYEE FIRST CLASS TRAVEL IS GENERALLY NOT PERMITTED BUT MAY BE UTILIZED IF APPROVED IN ADVANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH COMMONSPIRIT'S POLICY. SUCH FIRST-CLASS TRAVEL WAS PROVIDED TO TWO BOARD MEMBERS/OFFICERS, TWO OFFICERS, THREE KEY EMPLOYEES, AND ONE HIGHEST COMPENSATED EMPLOYEE. NO AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN INCLUDED AS REPORTABLE COMPENSATION AS THESE TRAVEL EXPENSES WERE INCURRED FOR BUSINESS PURPOSES. TRAVEL FOR COMPANIONS WAS PROVIDED TO ONE BOARD MEMBER/OFFICER AND ONE OFFICER. BECAUSE OF THE SIGNIFICANT TIME COMMITMENT ASSOCIATED WITH BOARD ACTIVITIES, BOARD MEMBERS OR OFFICERS WERE INVITED TO BRING THEIR SPOUSES TO A SPIRITUAL PILGRIMAGE. ALL SUCH COMPANION TRAVEL AND ASSOCIATED EXPENSES WERE INCLUDED AS TAXABLE COMPENSATION TO THE LISTED PERSONS. TAX GROSS-UP PAYMENTS WERE PROVIDED TO ONE BOARD MEMBER/OFFICER, ONE OFFICER AND ONE KEY EMPLOYEE. THESE GROSS-UP PAYMENTS WERE INCLUDED AS TAXABLE COMPENSATION TO THE LISTED PERSONS. SECURITY SERVICES, INCLUDING RESIDENCES, VEHICLES, AND DRIVERS, ARE PROVIDED TO ONE OFFICER AND ONE HIGHEST COMPENSATED EMPLOYEE PURSUANT TO A QUALIFIED SECURITY ASSESSMENT, AND AS SUCH, NO AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED AS INCOME.
PART I, LINE 3

SEE SCHEDULE O DISCLOSURE FOR FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15A FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. IN JUNE OF 2022, COMMONSPIRIT, OBTAINED AN INDEPENDENT, OUTSIDE REVIEW OF THE APPROPRIATE ANNUAL STIPEND TO BE PROVIDED TO ITS BOARD AND BOARD COMMITTEE MEMBERS. THE REVIEW INCLUDED COMPARABILITY DATA AND REPORTED OUT ON REASONABLE AND APPROPRIATE STIPEND RANGES. THE SPONSORSHIP AND GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE OF THE COMMONSPIRIT BOARD CONSIDERED THE DATA AND RANGES AND MADE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE COMMONSPIRIT BOARD AS TO REASONABLE AND APPROPRIATE STIPEND LEVELS, WHICH THE BOARD APPROVED. COMMONSPIRIT PLANS TO REVIEW BOARD STIPEND LEVELS AT THE EARLIER OF EVERY THREE YEARS OR AS ADJUSTMENTS TO COMPENSATION ARE PROPOSED.

THE EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT TEAM IS RECRUITED FROM STABLE CAREERS IN ORGANIZATIONS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND FROM VARIOUS INDUSTRIES. DUTIES ARE BOTH EXTENSIVE AND COMPLEX AND REQUIRE SUBSTANTIAL AND DIVERSE EXPERIENCE AND SKILL SETS TO EXECUTE THEIR ROLES SUCCESSFULLY. THE CALCULATION FOR THE PAYMENTS TO EACH EXECUTIVE ARE BASED ON THE VALUE OF A FINAL AVERAGE PAY ANNUITY BENEFIT BASED ON RETIREMENT AGE AND SERVICE YEARS TO THE ORGANIZATION. DISTRIBUTION OCCURS EACH JULY 1 IF THE PLAN FORMULA WARRANTS A PAYMENT. NO PAYMENTS PURSUANT TO THE PLAN ARRANGEMENT OCCURRED DURING 2023. DURING THE 2023 CALENDAR YEAR, COMMONSPIRIT MAINTAINED A SUPPLEMENTAL NON-QUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN FOR DIVISION CEOS/PRESIDENTS AND OTHER DESIGNATED COMMONSPIRIT EXECUTIVES AT THE LEVEL OF SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT AND ABOVE.

SCHEDULE J, PART II
DIGNITY HEALTH FOLLOWS COMMONSPIRIT'S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY. COMMONSPIRIT'S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY IS DESIGNED TO ASSIST COMMONSPIRIT AND ITS RELATED ORGANIZATIONS IN ATTRACTING AND RETAINING THE CALIBER OF EXECUTIVES REQUIRED TO ENABLE ORGANIZATION TO FULFILL ITS MISSION OF PROVIDING HIGH QUALITY HEALTHCARE FOR ALL PERSONS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY FOR SERVICES, IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES, PROMOTING PATIENT AND EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION, AND ENSURING FINANCIAL STABILITY. A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION IS PERFORMANCE BASED AND IS LINKED TO ORGANIZATIONAL GOALS APPROVED IN ADVANCE BY THE HUMAN RESOURCES AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. THESE GOALS INCLUDE ATTAINMENT OF ANNUAL AND LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE, CERTAIN HEALTHCARE QUALITY STANDARDS AND THE ORGANIZATION'S COMMITMENT TO SERVING THE POOR AND DISENFRANCHISED IN THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. TOTAL COMPENSATION, WHICH INCLUDES BASE SALARY, ANNUAL AND LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION, IS ESTABLISHED TO APPROXIMATE THE PREVAILING MARKET CONDITIONS FOR EXECUTIVES OF COMPANIES OF SIMILAR SIZE, REVENUES AND COMPLEXITY. PAYMENTS PURSUANT TO A LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE GOAL WERE PAID IN CALENDAR YEAR 2023.
