        <Explanation>Part I, Line 6a: The Methodist Hospital System (The Methodist Hospital is the flagship hospital of the System) prepares an annual community benefit report which is made available to the public. This report includes charity care and community benefits provided by The Methodist Hospital and three other related acute care community hospitals in Harris County and in neighboring Fort Bend County, Texas. A fourth community hospital opened in West Houston on December 17, 2010. As expected, charity care and community benefits provided were minimal in 2010; therefore, this hospital was not included in the annual community benefit report made available to the public.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>The text of the footnote that describes bad debt expense from the audited consolidated financial statements of The Methodist Hospital System, which includes accounts of The Methdodist Hospital, is as follows:Uncollectible, uncompensated care generally represents standard charges that are unrealizable due to an unwillingness to pay by those responsible for payment (bad debt). Uncollectible, uncompensated care is reflected as an expense in the consolidated statements of operations and changes in net assets.The costing methodology used in determining the amount of bad debt expense (at cost) reported on line 2 (no amount was reported on line 3) was derived from Worksheet A, as provided in the instructions to Form 990 Schedule H.Part III, Line 8:Medicare allowable costs were derived from The Methodist Hospital's filed Medicare Cost Report for the year ended December 31, 2010. The entire Medicare shortfall ($83.2 million) as reported in Part III, line 7 as well as the unreimbursed cost of the Medicare managed care program ($10.6 million) should be treated as a community benefit, since these shortfalls, or subsidies, reduce the federal government's burden in providing health care to Medicare beneficiaries.Part III, Line 9b:The Methodist Hospital System has a written debt collection policy; However, no collection efforts are put forth for patients who are known to qualify for financial assistance under the charity care policy.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Part VI, Line 2: The Methodist Hospital System utilized several different methods to identify its Community Health priorities (health care needs) of the communities it serves. These methods include but are not limited to the review of the Texas Institute of Health Policy research community data; Harris County Public Health &amp; Environmental Services community data; Texas State Data Center and Office of the State Demographer; Texas Department of State Health Services; Texas Cancer Registry; Healthy People 2010; community advisory group committee reports for nonprofit clinics and agencies (e.g., Harris County Healthcare Alliance Primary Health Needs Assessment); Texas Department of Public Health selected health data; and community health status report for Harris, Liberty, Fort Bend and Montgomery counties. Additionally, The Methodist Hospital System performs an annual Community Health Needs Assessment that evaluates the population of The Methodist Hospital service area by looking at demographics, current health characteristics in the community and access to healthcare.</Explanation>
      </Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>Part VI, Line 3: Financial Assistance is provided in multiple locations within The Methodist Hospital System; at the point of registration, during case management and at the time of collections post discharge. Every check-in location has information posted in both English and Spanish stating how the patient can access financial assistance. Additionally, this information is posted on The Methodist Hospital System website and is included in the patient guide provided to the patient at the time of registration. The Methodist Hospital System financial counselors actively seek all uninsured inpatients and outpatients with scheduled services for a personal visit. During these visits, the financial counselors will screen the patient for financial assistance and will provide the patient with the financial assistance application. The patient will then be provided a list of resources with contact information should the patient require further assistance in completing the application. The Methodist Hospital System utilizes an eligibility partner to work closely with patients to quality for State and Federal assistance programs (e.g., Medicaid, SCHIP, Crime Victims, etc.). This eligibility partner will meet with all uninsured inpatients to discuss State and Federal assistance programs; where the patient is not eligible for these programs, The Methodist Hospital System's internal financial assistance program is introduced. The Methodist Hospital System's case management unit works closely with the patient during patient discharge management to ensure the patient is introduced to all resources that may be needed post discharge (e.g., home health, skilled nursing, etc.). The case management unit works with the patient to qualify the patient and to gain access to these resources. Additionally, the case management unit works closely with the financial counselors when the patient is identified as having a need for financial assistance.The Methodist Hospital System's patient accounting unit works closely with all uninsured patients post discharge during the billing and collections process. The Methodist Hospital System's collections personnel will verbally screen patients for financial assistance during collection calls; where applicable, the patient will be sent a financial assistance application either in English or Spanish. Additionally, all billing statements provide the patient with a phone number for customer service to obtain payment options. The Methodist Hospital System utilizes outside collection assistance, for both early out and bad debt collections. Each collection agency must adhere to The Methodist Hospital System's financial assistance policy and philosophy during all communication and collection events with The Methodist Hospital System patients. The Methodist Hospital System's financial assistance application is reviewed periodically; additionally, The Methodist Hospital System personnel are provided with educational inservices in the administering of the financial assistance policy as needed.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Part VI, Line 6: The Methodist Hospital, an acute care complex with 851 operating beds, 70 operating rooms, 1,725 affiliated physicians and 5489 employees, is the flagship of The Methodist Hospital System. Affiliated with the Texas Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church, The Methodist Hospital works closely with local church leaders to bring compassion and spirituality to all of its endeavors and to help meet the health needs of the community it serves. The Methodist Hospital's primary academic affiliates are Weill Cornell Medical College and New York Presbyterian Hospital. The Methodist Hospital also has affiliations with the University of Houston, Rice University, Baylor College of Medicine and others. The Methodist Hospital is a teaching hospital and as part of its teaching program it sponsored 180 medical residents in 26 accredited programs and 8 non-accredited programs in 2010. Governing BodyThe Methodist Hospital is governed by a board of directors comprised of members of the community where it is located. The Methodist Hospital's board of directors includes members from the community as well as the System's President/CEO, The Methodist Hospital's medical staff president and the bishop of the Texas Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church. Community CouncilsThe Methodist Hospital also has community involvement through advisory councils comprised of community members, including members of The Methodist Hospital Board of Directors, who volunteer to create health-related programs for Houstonians. One example is The Methodist DeBakey Heart &amp; Vascular Center Council, which is a group of Houston's leaders who advise the DeBakey Heart &amp; Vascular Center on how it can best serve our patients and our community. The group is comprised of opinion leaders whose experience in business and non-profit boards help shape our future direction and use of resources. One way the council directs these resources to promote the health of the community is through the Save a Life CPR/AED Training Sessions. For the last three years, The Methodist DeBakey Heart &amp; Vascular Center has partnered with the Houston Texans, American Red Cross, and Texas Arrhythmia Institute to offer mass CPR/AED training days to the Houston community. The effort is spearheaded by the DeBakey Heart &amp; Vascular Center's council members and has successfully trained more than 1,800 individuals since its inception.Other councils include the Neurological Institute Council and the Center for Performing Arts Medicine.The Methodist Hospital Young Leaders for Medicine are an auxiliary group of young professionals dedicated to improving patient care, education, and research at The Methodist Hospital and in the Houston community. When The Methodist Hospital System began its Taking Strides4Stroke Community Stroke Awareness Campaign, the Young Leaders took an active role in educating the public about stroke symptoms, treatment and prevention. Since 2007, the Young Leaders have provided volunteer leadership at the Stride4Stroke 5K Run/Walk in addition to raising more than $140,000 for The Methodist Hospital System's community stroke education efforts. Medical Staff ModelThe Methodist Hospital has an open medical staff model. The open model gives patients access to physicians of all affiliations. Health EducationThe Methodist Hospital Education Institute (TMHEI) was established by The Methodist Hospital System in 2006 upon the recommendation of an interdisciplinary team of health care practitioners charged by The Methodist Hospital Board of Directors with creating a vision for health professions education and training in The Methodist Hospital System. The purpose of TMHEI is to provide the best education and training to all disciplines in the hospital, enabling the best patient care. The Office of Continuing Medical Education provides local, national and international education concentrated in areas where our clinicians and scientists have recognized excellence and where our community has the greatest need.Since 2005, The Methodist Hospital has trained physicians in various medical and surgical specialties. Methodist sponsored 26 ACGME-accredited and 8 non-accredited programs in 2010. Additional specialty programs have been developed since then. The Methodist Institute for Technology, Innovation and Education (MITIE) is a comprehensive, state-of-the-art education and research center for physicians who wish to acquire new procedural skills and integrate new technologies into their practices. Its research mission is to enhance the use of image guided technology to guide procedures, incorporate robotic surgery into the image guided platform and develop new technology and procedural techniques.The Methodist Hospital also offers a medical laboratory science program with a 12-month track for professionals in pathology and laboratory medicine; an administrative fellowship and internship program for future health care leaders; professional development programs for nursing; a pharmacy residency program and a postgraduate residency for cardiovascular surgery physician assistants. The Methodist Hospital has created the Finger Fellowship Program in Sustainable Health to allow young people to experience the nexus of health science, policy, and community. This fellowship gives exceptional young people an opportunity to pursue individualized interdisciplinary research and to use that experience to lead improvements in health at the national, state or local level.Medical ResearchThe Methodist Hospital Research Institute, a subsidiary of The Methodist Hospital, was established in 2004 to conduct essential translational research. It is home to more than 1,000 credentialed physicians, faculty and staff and more than 700 ongoing clinical trials. The Methodist Hospital Research Institute is directly tied to clinicians and patients to help move the best in medical technology to the patient faster - for better prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease. The Methodist Hospital Research Institute is one way The Methodist Hospital integrates its services, by bringing the research conducted in the laboratory to the patients bedside. The discoveries made by our researchers quickly filter down to our hospitals in the form of new treatments and improved procedures. Use of Surplus FundsAn internal charity care program provides services to the indigent at The Methodist Hospital and through affiliated organizations. The majority of patients who qualified for charity care were educated about the program through signs posted throughout the hospital. Other patients were referred by their physicians, hospital staff, other patients and through funded community agencies. Surplus funds are also used each year to strengthen community service outreach to support low-income and uninsured patients to help them attain access to comprehensive health care. Approximately 183,621 patient contact visits were reported in 2010 from 30 charity care agencies supported by The Methodist Hospital System Community Benefits program. Services provided include primary health care, emergency and routine care, immunizations, dental care, psychological and case management services, well child examinations, sick visits, health education, health screenings, well woman exams and in-kind lab services and X-rays. The Methodist Hospital's support allowed these organizations to enhance their services to low-income patients with diverse health needs. Methodist provided direct funding and/or in-kind services including lab tests, X-rays, immunizations, human resources consultation and other services. With The Methodist Hospital's support, agencies like Denver Harbor Clinic and Good Neighbor Healthcare Center were positioned to meet Federally Qualified Health Center designee qualifications, thereby allowing them to qualify for enhanced Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement.Programs at The Methodist Hospital helped to improve awareness of stroke signs, risk factors and prevention. In 2010 the numbers of people educated through our programs exceeded 11,000, more than double the activity from 2009; that amount is in addition to the participants of the Stride4Stroke walk. Programs addressed health disparities through our presence in minority communities and through outreach to women.For further information regarding what The Methodist Hospital is doing to benefit the communities it serves, see the response to Part VI, Line 6.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Part VI, Line 7: Located in the heart of the Texas Medical Center, The Methodist Hospital is the flagship hospital of The Methodist Hospital System and serves patients from all over the world. The Methodist Hospital System includes Methodist Sugar Land Hospital in Fort Bend County, San Jacinto Methodist Hospital in Baytown, Methodist Willowbrook Hospital in northwest Houston and Methodist West Houston Hospital which opened in December 2010. The Methodist Hospital shares the greater mission of The Methodist Hospital System to provide high quality, cost-effective health care that delivers the best value to the people we serve in a spiritual environment of caring in association with internationally recognized teaching and research. The Methodist Hospital is among the country's largest non-profit health care providers and is certified by the Joint Commission of Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. In 2010, The Methodist Hospital treated 37,536 inpatients and 306,329 outpatients. It received 45,254 emergency room visits. In order to better serve the growing needs of the communities served by The Methodist Hospital System, the System completed over $1.6 billion in construction projects comprising a total of 4 million new square feet in 2010. Expansion projects included an outpatient center and a research institute at The Methodist Hospital and two new patient facility and bed expansions at Methodist Sugar Land Hospital and Methodist Willowbrook Hospital. In addition, two imaging centers and an emergency care clinic opened in Summer 2009 to further serve the community. A new 100-bed licensed hospital in West Houston opened in December 2010 (with a future capacity of 193 total beds) and includes a breast center, heart services and radiation oncology. The Methodist Hospital promotes the health of the community and the mission of The Methodist Hospital System by delivering the highest quality and safest health care to our patients. Quality initiatives range from hand hygiene programs (with exceptionally good results), to patient fall and infection reduction programs. The Methodist Hospital was the first hospital in the Texas Medical Center to require its employees, vendors and volunteers to receive the seasonal flu shot to protect our patients, those typically most vulnerable to complications from the flu. The Methodist Hospital is the academic medical center in The Methodist Hospital System, bringing the community an institution dedicated to patient care, research and education. By serving as a leading academic medical center, it provides the community quality patient care, leading research that can be quickly translated into treatments and the training of our country's future doctors. While all System hospitals provide quality patient care, The Methodist Hospital expands the vision to include research and a comprehensive residency program. Aside from promoting the health of our community by delivering exceptional leading care to our patients, The Methodist Hospital System makes significant contributions through community benefits programs as descibed below. Community Benefit Activities and Health ServicesThe Methodist Hospital System in 2010 provided medical care to patients who were medically and/or financially indigent as well as patients who qualified for government sponsored indigent care. In 2010, The Methodist Hospital Community Benefits Program funded grassroots agencies across the Greater Houston area, including those communities served by our community hospitals. In 2010, The Methodist Hospital System's cash and in-kind contributions totaling approximately $10.0 million supported the following grassroots agencies across the Greater Houston area:-Bering Omega Community Services-Boys and Girls Country of Houston, Inc-Breath of Life Children's Center, Inc-Casa De Esperanza de los Ninos, Inc -Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Galveston-Houston-CHRISTUS HomeCare-Communities in Schools Houston, Inc-El Centro de Corazon-Eye Care for Kids Foundation-Fort Bend Family Healthcare Center-Good Neighbor Healthcare Center-Healthcare for the Homeless - Houston-HOPE Clinic-Houston Area Women's Center-Houston Comm Health Centers,Inc (Denver Harbor Clinic)-Houston Hospice-IBN Sina Foundation-Jewish Community Center of Houston-Krist Samaritan Center for Counseling and Education-Legacy Community Health Services-Matagorda Episcopal Hospital Outreach Program-Montrose Counseling Center, Inc-Northwest Assistance Ministries-San Jose Clinic-Service Organization of Greater Houston-Seven Acres Jewish Senior Care-Shalom Mobile Health Ministry-Star of Hope Mission-The Community Clinic-The Fort Bend County Women's Center, Inc-The Women's Home-TOMAGWA Health Care MinistriesThis support allowed these organizations to leverage dollars and enhance their services to low-income patients with diverse health needs. The Methodist Hospital System provided direct funding and/or in-kind services including lab tests, X-rays, immunizations, human resources consultation and other services. With Methodist's support, agencies like Denver Harbor Clinic and Good Neighbor Healthcare Center were positioned to meet Federally Qualified Health Center designee qualifications, thereby allowing them to qualify for enhanced Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement. EducationThe Methodist Hospital's primary academic partner is Weill Cornell Medical College in New York. The two institutions share best practices and collaborate on research, education and clinical care. More than 300 Methodist physicians have Weill Cornell faculty positions, and The Methodist Hospital sponsors almost 180 of its own medical residents in various specialties - ranging from neurosurgery to pathology to gynecology - and hosts 100 more from other medical institutions. In addition, The Methodist Hospital collaborates with many other academic and medical institutions to promote the health of the community, including New York-Presbyterian Hospital, Rice University, Baylor College of Medicine, University of Houston, Texas A&amp;M University, Texas Children's Hospital, University of Texas Health Science Center, Texas Woman's University and Prairie View A&amp;M, among others. Community InvolvementThe Methodist Hospital actively develops awareness initiatives, sponsorships and programs that promote health and wellness, prevention and early detection. The Methodist Hospital staff and volunteers can be seen at health screenings, exercise and nutrition promotions, stress management clinics and other health promotion activities throughout the year. For example, The Methodist Hospital participated in The Methodist Hospital System's fourth annual Stride4Stroke 5K Walk/Run, which raised more than $380,000 in 2010. The walk/run is part of The Methodist Hospital System's community stroke awareness campaign aimed at increasing stroke awareness and education in the community. More than 1,200 employees participated in this drive to raise public awareness and funds for an event that clearly has an impact on the community.In 2010, Methodist established the Methodist Concussion Center to provide comprehensive services and a dedicated team of concussion specialists to educate athletes, especially student-athletes, about the importance of concussion awareness. Through the center, student athletes have access to ImPACT (Immediate, Post Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing) testing, at their schools or at the Concussion Center. ImPACT is the first computerized concussion evaluation system. In addition to providing clinical care, the concussion center staff educates the community about signs and symptoms, dangers and proper medical management. The Center conducts outreach activities which benefit more than 1,000 Houston-area residents monthly. Methodist also created the Nantz National Alzheimer Center to advance research and treatment of Alzheimer's disease, one of the biggest threats to the elderly population in our country. It is projected that as many as 16 million people will have Alzheimer's by 2050. The center, dedicated to finding a cure for Alzheimer's, addresses one of the biggest health crises affecting Americans today. The Methodist Hospital promotes the health of the community by fulfilling The Methodist Hospital System's mission through exceptional, high-quality patient care, education and research, affiliations with academic and medical partners for improved community health care, charity care and community involvement. The Methodist Hospital also cooperates with local entities to identify community needs. Members of The Methodist Hospital's executive team are on the boards of the Greater Houston Health Care Alliance and the Greater Houston Partnership which both advocate for educational, environmental and health care issues that affect public policy and international</Explanation>

        <Explanation>companies that do business in Houston.The Methodist Hospital System's employees have a longstanding tradition of supporting efforts to improve the health and well being of our community. Our employees donate time, talent and money to many great community causes.Hospital administration also allocates hours to coordinate and support voluntary employee projects to meet specific community needs. As a result of administrative support, hospital employees participated in or provided a service for the following: United Way Campaign, American Heart Association's Houston Heart Walk and Stroke Continuum of Care, National Multiple Sclerosis 150 Bike Tour (Houston-to-Austin), Komen Race for the Cure, ADA Diabetes Walk, Stride4Stroke 5K Run/Walk, PAWS, Star of Hope, Save a Life Community Heart Training Day, Adopt-a-Child/Family holiday program, emergency funds for food and transportation vouchers for patients, employee blood drive (donations of blood, plasma and platelets), Career Day - Talks, Houston Food Bank - Texas Medical Center Food Drive, Houston Area Women's Shelter, Medical Bridges, Habitat for Humanity, House Renovation based at Ripley Center, MI Lewis Social Services, San Jose Clinic - Art for Heart, DeBakey High School, African American Health Coalition, Texas Woman's University, The House of Amos and the Houston Museum of Natural Science Texas Clinics Are Responding Event (TCARE).The Methodist Hospital System also encourages its employees to volunteer for the good of their respective communities. A program, called MCAT, Methodist Community Action team, supports employees who volunteer in the community. Through MCAT, employees volunteer at various community events supported by the hospital. Employees participate in local health fairs, serve on committee groups to help organize and coordinate events and activities for the community, provide assistance at local walk/run events, provide assistance at several hurricane relief centers, and sort and organize medical supplies for medical mission trips.Other beneficial efforts are organized by smaller groups within the hospital. For example, a group of nurses volunteer at a dental clinic for AIDS patients. The Methodist Hospital supports this clinic financially and employees are also engaged. A group of Filipino nurses who are members of the Philippines Nurses Association of Metropolitan Houston participate in various community outreach programs. They participate at the annual health fair for the underserved populations in Houston and neighboring counties. The nurses take blood pressure as well as blood sugar readings. They also provide health teachings to clients that speak Spanish only with a Spanish interpreter. They provide clients with verbal and written educational materials on healthy food groups, importance of exercise, smoking cessation, prevention of diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart disease and cardiovascular conditions. The Methodist Hospital operates a thriving volunteer program that offers members of the outside community an opportunity to participate in a number of patient-oriented activities including hospital visits; collecting and/or creating items to distribute to patients and wayfinding help for patients and families visiting the complex for doctors appointments and tests. Identifying Community Health IssuesThe Methodist Hospital identified its community health priorities for 2010 using several methods including, but not limited to, review of the Texas Institute for Health Policy Research community data, Texas Department of Public Health selected health data, community health status reports for Harris, Liberty, Fort Bend and Montgomery counties and community advisory groups committee reports for nonprofit clinics and agencies. The review indicated that chronic diseases, including heart disease and stroke, are acute in our service area, exceeding the overall mortality rates in Texas and peer counties. Because stroke was identified as a primary killer and health care issue for people in our region, The Methodist Hospital System in 2006 created the Stride4Stroke initiative to raise awareness about stroke and to raise funds for community stroke education. A 5K Run/Walk each spring allows members of the community to participate alongside hospital employees. The Methodist Hospital System has initiated community education efforts by training and providing nurse-educators to the community for public events, particularly in minority communities and for outreach to women. The Methodist Hospital System also works to assist smaller hospitals in the community in developing their own stroke programs and achievement of Primary Stroke Center status, while we offer a venue for comprehensive stroke care to those patients from community hospitals that are not equipped to offer more than basic stroke care.Another initiative has sought to increase early detection and community awareness of cancer. The Methodist Hospital annually stages a Men's Health Expo for community awareness and education on men's health issues. At a Men's Health Expo in 2010, The Methodist Hospital screened 285 men for prostate cancer. The Methodist Hospital also sponsors and/or coordinates a number of events spotlighting women's health issues. The Methodist Hospital sponsored the Komen Race/Walk and Pink Ribbons campaign to promote breast cancer awareness as well as to communicate the importance of early detection of breast cancer.Summary As a System, Methodist made significant contributions through its community benefits and charity care program which have been a resource for patients in the community. Based on IRS cost definitions The Methodist Hospital System provided $183.5 million in Charity Care and Certain other Community Benefits for the year ended December 31, 2010, which included $77.3 million in connection with Charity Care and Means-tested Government Programs and $106.2 million in Other Benefits (e.g., health professions education, research and cash and in-kind contributions to community groups). In addition, based on IRS cost definitions The Methodist Hospital System provided $144.2 million in care to Medicare and TRICARE program beneficiaries for the year ended December 31, 2010.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>SCHEDULE J, PAGE 1, LINE 1A: Travel for Companions Methodist requires all employees including officers to provide written substantiation of all expenses related to their business travel through the provision of detailed receipts in order to receive approval from their direct superiors for reimbursement in accordance with our corporate policy on travel and other business expenses. In 2010, the President/CEO had three trips approved for attendance at out of state meetings where it was deemed appropriate by the Chair of our Board that the attendance of the President/CEO's spouse (and the related expenses for her travel to these meetings) was integral to conducting effective Methodist business at these meetings. SCHEDULE J, PAGE 1, LINE 1A: Health or Social Club Dues As stipulated by the employment contract of the CEO, he is entitled to annual membership in the Houston City Club paid for by The Methodist Hospital in support of Methodist related business development activities. This amount is not included in the taxable income of the CEO as it directly relates to the hospital's tax exempt business purpose. SCHEDULE J, PAGE 1, LINE 1A: Compensation Reporting Pursuant to Treasury Reg Section 1 6033-2(D)(5), The Methodist Hospital has elected to report information about contributions, gifts &amp; grants, compensation and other information about Officers, Directors, Trustees, Key Employees, Former Employees, certain other highly paid employees, certain professional contractors and certain other contrators on a consolidated basis for all of the members of the group, including the parent organization, on the Group Return of Methodist Hospital Group, EIN 35-2410801. SCHEDULE J, PAGE 1, QUESTION 4A: Severance Plan The Methodist Hospital System has a formal severance plan. Eligible employees include all staff including hourly staff up through senior vice presidents provided they work at least 20 hours per week and are not otherwise covered by a physician employment agreement. The plan only provides salary and benefits in the event an eligible employee is involuntarily terminated due to the elimination of their position or if their current position is significantly impacted by an organizational restructuring or change in requirement and a comparable position is not available within the organization. The eligible person must also sign a termination agreement in order to receive salary continuation and benefits under the plan to which they would not normally be eligible to receive under a voluntary resignation. SCHEDULE J, PAGE 1, QUESTION 4A: Compensation Reporting Pursuant to Treasury Reg Section 1 6033-2(D)(5), The Methodist Hospital has elected to report information about contributions, gifts &amp; grants, compensation and other information about Officers, Directors, Trustees, Key Employees, Former Employees, certain other highly paid employees, certain professional contractors and certain other contrators on a consolidated basis for all of the members of the group, including the parent organization, on the Group Return of Methodist Hospital Group, EIN 35-2410801. SCHEDULE J, PAGE 1, QUESTION 4B: The Methodist Hospital has a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, a non-qualified employer funded plan. Contributions are made annually into a tax deferred account and are considered taxable upon vesting (i.e. completion of three years of vesting service). Once vested, each year's subsequent contribution is taxable within the calendar year in which the deposit was made. Account balances cannot be accessed until retirement or termination (whichever occurs first) and may be subject to non-revocable distribution options selected upon employment. SCHEDULE J, PAGE 1, QUESTION 4B: Pursuant to Treasury Reg Section 1 6033-2(D)(5), The Methodist Hospital has elected to report information about contributions, gifts &amp; grants, compensation and other information about Officers, Directors, Trustees, Key Employees, Former Employees, certain other highly paid employees, certain professional contractors and certain other contrators on a consolidated basis for all of the members of the group, including the parent organization, on the Group Return of Methodist Hospital Group, EIN 35-2410801. SCHEDULE J, PAGE 1, QUESTION 7: This organization provides variable compensation opportunity through an annual management incentive plan. Executives at the Assistant Vice President level and above may be eligible to participate. The annual incentive program is based on system and operating entity level performance in the areas of quality improvement outcomes, patient satisfaction and financial performance. In addition, a portion of the payout percentage is based on goals that are specific to the participants' management roles at the division or department level including but not limited to such metrics as operating results, quality and safety improvements, customer satisfaction measures, growth and innovation initiatives. Determination of a participant's percentage of the potential bonus payout (paid as a percent of base salary) is based on whether the individual attains agreed upon goals for their area of responsibility as determined by their immediate supervisor.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>The Executive Committee consists of the officers who are members of the Board of Directors as defined in the Bylaws; the Resident Bishop; and one Physician Director. In the event of an emergency when there is insufficient time to convene the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee has and may exercise all the powers of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation in such a manner as the Executive Committee may deem to be in the best interest of the Corporation in all cases in which specific directions have been given by the Board of Directors, provided any action which the Committee may take does not conflict with the mission of the Corporation and the policies and directives of the Board of Directors. The Chairperson of the Board of Directors, upon the calling of any Executive Committee meeting, as the first item of business, is required to state the nature of the emergency and the fact that there was insufficient time to convene the Board of Directors, which is recorded in the minutes before any action is deemed valid and on behalf of the Board of Directors. Vacancies in the membership of said Committee are filled by appointment of the Chairperson and approval by the Board of Directors. The Executive Committee meets upon the call of the Chairperson. The Committee keeps regular minutes of its proceedings and forthwith delivers by mail, facsimile, email, or in person, a written report of the same to all members of the Board of Directors. All Acts or resolutions of the Executive Committee are subject to the approval of, or revision by, the Board of Directors, but no rights of third parties are affected by any such revision.

        <Explanation>This organization follows IRS regulations as it relates to establishing a rebuttable presumption of reasonableness related to total compensation of key employees and compensated officers of the organization listed below. It has established a process that includes the following elements: A separate committee (the Board Committee) comprised of independent directors meets at least annually to review, deliberate and make recommendations to the Board as it relates to any changes in total compensation including base pay, bonus awards from incentive programs or benefits and perquisites of the CEO and other officers and some key employees (typically those who report directly to the CEO). For 2010, the Board Committee reviewed and recommended compensation packages for the following positions: - President/CEO, The Methodist Hospital System - EVP, Chief Financial Officer/Chief Administrative Officer, The Methodist Hospital System - EVP, Chief Medical Officer/Chief Academic Officer, The Methodist Hospital System - EVP, The Methodist Hospital - SVP, President &amp; CEO of Methodist International - EVP, Chief Legal Officer, The Methodist Hospital System The Board Committee establishes that no member has any conflict of interest with regard to the executive compensation arrangements being approved. The Board Committee reviews and considers information provided by an external consultant engaged to ensure it has direct access to: - Compensation information paid by comparable organizations, for functionally comparable positions. - Compensation norms in the organization's immediate locale and from other independent compensation surveys by nationally recognized independent firms that represent the organization's logical peer group; - Compensation information that includes information on base salary, incentives, benefits and perquisites for total compensation comparison purposes to ensure reasonable competitive ranking. The committee relies on the comparability data to reach consensus that its recommendations to the Board regarding executive compensation changes are reasonable and in line with this organization's overall total compensation philosophy for executive pay. The deliberation and decisions of the committee are contemporaneously substantiated. The compensation for positions held by Key Employees not included in the process above, specifically the SVP, Nursing and SVP, Operations for The Methodist Hospital, is determined based on a thorough review of numerous compensation studies conducted by nationally recognized, independent firms that provide market data for total compensation for similar positions. The compensation information considered includes information on base salary, incentives, and benefits for total compensation purposes to ensure reasonable competitive ranking in order to meet recruitment and retention objectives that secure the talent required to contribute to organizational success.</Explanation>
