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 — 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.

COMMONSPIRIT'S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY IS DESIGNED TO ASSIST COMMONSPIRIT IN ATTRACTING AND RETAINING THE CALIBER OF EXECUTIVES REQUIRED TO ENABLE COMMONSPIRIT 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 COMMONSPIRIT 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 COMMONSPIRIT'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.
