      <Desc>Pediatrics Faculty Foundation, Inc. ("PFF") is an Illinois not for profit corporation and an organization described under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code whose sole corporate member is Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center ("Parent") (FEIN 36-3357004). PFF employs pediatric medicine specialists, subspecialists and hospitalists. Such physicians are based and practice at Ann &amp; Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago ("Lurie Children's"), another affiliated entity of PFF, and at the Lurie Children's outreach locations. Lurie Children's offers over 70 types of pediatric subspecialty care, more than any other Illinois hospital. PFF' employs 462 pediatric medicine specialists, subspecialists and hospitalists who provide specialty services to patients of Lurie Children's in the areas of allergy, cardiology, immunology, neonatology, neurology, dermatology, emergency medicine, endocrinology, gastroenterology, general academic pediatrics, genetics, hematology and oncology, hospital-based medicine, infectious diseases, nephrology and pulmonary and critical care medicine. In addition, PFF employs approximately 36 full-time research faculty. Currently, the President of PFF also serves as the Chairman of the Department of Medicine at Lurie Children's and the Chairman of the Department of Pediatrics of Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine ("NUFSM"). Virtually all of those PFF physicians who are the full-time hospital-based medical staff (excluding fellows) hold faculty appointments at NUFSM. PFF's physicians are members of the Faculty Practice Plan at Lurie Children's which is comprised of approximately 625 pediatric sub-specialists and represents the largest provider of pediatric Medicaid services in Illinois. In FY 2014, Lurie Children's faculty physicians had 190,405 combined inpatient and outpatient Medicaid patient encounters for 55,736 pediatric patients. Medicaid represents nearly 43% of its payor mix. Lurie Children's pediatric-specialist physicians (which include PFF physicians) provide a substantial portion of the specialty care to children insured by the State of Illinois' All Kids program. In FY 2014, Medicaid reimbursement for physician services for specialty care to children treated by PFF physicians was over $20 million less than the costs associated with providing such services. In addition, Lurie Children's is the pediatric training center of NUFSM, providing residencies in both pediatrics and pediatric surgery. Each year, Lurie Children's Department of Pediatrics, through the PFF physicians, trains approximately 212 physicians. Almost half are pediatric residents, and the remainder are fellows in various pediatric sub-specialties including cardiology, hematology/oncology and neonatology. The program ranked 19th nationally in the 2014 U.S.News &amp; World Report's "Best Medical Schools Specialty Rankings for Pediatrics."</Desc>

        <ExplanationTxt>Pursuant to the bylaws of Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center ("Medical Center"), the Governance Committee of the Medical Center is charged to review and approve senior executive compensation for the Medical Center and its affiliates. The Governance Committee has adopted a written executive compensation philosophy which it follows when it reviews and approves the compensation and benefits of the organization's senior management, including the President/Chief Executive Officer and the other senior managers. The compensation philosophy is subject to periodic review for continued appropriateness by the Governance Committee. With the assistance of a compensation consultant and information from a variety of sources (specified on Schedule J), the Governance Committee confirmed the total amounts to be paid were reasonable and comparable to amounts paid by similarly situated organizations. Outside legal counsel also serves an integral role in advising the Governance Committee with respect to federal tax requirements in setting compensation and the establishment of the "rebuttable presumption of reasonableness" under the federal tax law intermediate sanctions rules. The process followed by the Governance Committee, including a description of the data relied upon and the Governance Committee's decisions, was thoroughly and contemporaneously documented. The Governance Committee has expressly reviewed the reasonableness of all such payments, and has concluded, as the result of a process that is designed to qualify for the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness, that all such amounts are reasonable and do not exceed fair market value for the services provided. The Governance Committee was comprised of members of the Medical Center and the Ann &amp; Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago Boards of Directors who were determined to be disinterested for these purposes. The Governance Committee conducts an ongoing, regular review of the disinterested status of its members, and will take appropriate action with respect to anyone having an interest with respect to one or more executives so as to preserve the application of the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness. Schedule J, part I, Question 4b The following listed individuals have an amount included in Schedule J, Part II, Column (C) for and amount accrued but not vested under THE MEDICAL CENTER supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP"): Patrick M. Magoon $445,645 Paula M. Noble $182,391 Benefits earned under the SERP are non-vested forms of deferred compensation that fund the employee's eventual retirement benefit. These benefits are provided in exchange for all of the employee's years of service to the organization, and the cost of the benefits will vary from year to year based on interest rates, age, and many other factors. The amounts are at risk and will not be paid unless and until the employee has provided substantial future services to the organization. Benefits under the SERP vest at age 62, and are forfeited if the employee leaves the organization voluntarily before age 62 (except upon the sole discretion of the Board, and only if the participant has reached at least age 55 with at least 10 years of service). Participants who voluntarily leave the organization before age 55 forfeit their entire SERP benefit upon termination. Also in response to question 4b, Donna S. Wetzler received vested payments from the supplemental retirement benefits under the SERP, and therefore had SERP benefits included in her taxable income of $157,524. The taxable amount represents the vested amount of benefits for service to the organization, and which became taxable and paid in 2013. Schedule J, Part I, Question 5a Employed physicians are compensated in part on the basis of personal professional productivity that takes into account, in part, the revenues of the organization generated by the physician. Schedule J, Part I, Question 7 The organization provides annual incentive compensation to senior management under a senior management incentive compensation plan. These amounts are included in schedule J, Part II, Column B (ii). The plan is designed to offer opportunities for additional compensation tied to performance against pre-determined financial, patient satisfaction, patient safety and individual goals approved in advance by the Governance Committee of the Ann &amp; Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago (Lurie Children's) and the Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center (Medical Center), which serves as the Compensation Committee of Lurie Children's and Pediatrics Faculty Foundation, Inc. The Governance Committee has expressly reviewed the reasonableness of all such payments and has concluded, as the result of a process that is designed to qualify for the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness under federal tax law, that all such amounts are reasonable and do not exceed fair market value for the services provided. Schedule J, Part II The following individuals are not compensated by the reporting organization for his or her service as a director or officer. Rather, the compensation reported on Form 990, Part VII and on Schedule J, Part II reflects compensation paid by Ann &amp; Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago (Lurie Children's) for the individual's substantial and full-time services as an employee.

        <ExplanationTxt>Form 990, Part VI, Question 12c On an annual basis, the Medical Center and its affiliates submit a comprehensive questionnaire to Board Members, senior management and purchasing personnel requiring disclosure of all interests that could give rise to actual or potential conflicts of interest. The Medical Center initiates follow up contact with those who do not respond and to clarify responses, where necessary. The Medical Center reviews each disclosure and provides a summary of relevant disclosures for the review and approval of its Governance Committee. Pursuant to the conflicts of interest policy of the Medical Center and affiliates ("Corporation"), directors, officers, physician leaders, and others who are subject to the policy are required to promptly and fully disclose in writing any actual, apparent or potential conflict of interest to the president of the Corporation and General Counsel. This disclosure shall be provided to the Governance Committee of the Corporation which shall consider all conflicts of interest issues and, if appropriate, shall provide such written disclosure to the directors, board committees considering the proposed transaction or other appropriate parties. In addition, on an annual basis, the corporation surveys each individual subject to the policy as to the existence of actual or potential conflicts of interest. The corporation will not enter into an agreement, transaction or other arrangement involving a conflict of interest unless the disinterested members of the governance committee of the corporation's Board of Directors determine by a majority vote that appropriate safeguards to protect the charitable mission of the corporation have been implemented. The subject interested person may not be present when the vote is taken. If it is determined that a conflict of interest exists, a disinterested person or committee of disinterested members may be assigned to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. After exercising due diligence, the Board or Committee shall determine whether the Corporation can obtain a more advantageous transaction or arrangement, with reasonable efforts, from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably attainable under circumstances that would not give rise to a conflict of interest, the board or committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction is in the Corporation's best interest and for its own benefit and whether the transaction is fair and reasonable to the Corporation, and shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement.</ExplanationTxt>
