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)

Schedule J, Part I, Line 3
The Executive Committee of the Board serves as the compensation committee as specified by the bylaws of the hospital. The Executive Committee is comprised of the Chairman, Vice Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer, President/CEO and two at large members of the Board. The President/CEO does not participate in or vote on compensation matters related to his own compensation. The Executive Committee proposes an Executive Compensation Philosophy for approval by the Board, which sets parameters for compensation of the CEO and the Vice Presidents. The Executive Committee (without the CEO) reviews the compensation and benefits of the CEO annually, subject to Board ratification. The CEO sets compensation for the Vice Presidents within the ranges established by the Compensation Philosophy. Compensation outside the approved ranges requires Executive Committee review and approval. The Executive Committee engages a consulting firm to provide comparative compensation studies for similarly qualified executives in functionally comparable positions at similarly situated organizations. Compensation study and performance review are considered in developing executive compensation decisions. Any benefits for executives beyond what is provided to all employees must be consistent with the Compensation Philosophy. All compensation-related meetings of the Executive Committee are formally documented.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 4

Schedule J, Part I, Line 6
See response to Line 7. Board approval required for any payment.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 7
For 2023, the hospital had an Incentive Compensation Plan for Vice Presidents and Directors whereby a percentage of base salary is paid out if goals are met, and if authorized by the Board of Directors. For 2023 goals met, Incentive compensation expense was paid out in February of 2024.

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
