      <Description>CHRISTUS Health Foundation Southeast Texas is a Texas non-profit organization serving the philanthropic needs of CHRISTUS Health Southeast Texas (the "Health System"). It is the Foundation's responsibility to encourage and receive contributions from individuals, corporations, associations, and foundations. These contributions are distributed to the Health System and its subsidiary non-profit hospitals, in accordance with the intentions of the donors and within the confines of the Foundation's goals and objectives. All contributions assist the Health System in providing continuing high quality health care in areas such as modernization and construction of needed hospital facilities, acquisition of hospital equipment, and other special health care needs of the Health System. The Foundation also sponsors the Children's Miracle Network (CMN) for children's health services in the community. Funds raised for the CMN are restricted to provide needed equipment and improvements to the Pediatric and Obstetrical Care Units of the supported hospitals. CMN Grant Assistance Program focuses on children with healthcare needs who may require financial assistance. Grants are awarded when specific criteria and guidelines are met. The Foundation sponsors other local events to provide support for coronary care, oncology and hyperbaric treatment. The Foundation's sole corporate member is the Health System; the Health System's sole corporate member is CHRISTUS Health. CHRISTUS Health Southeast Texas includes all of the hospitals, clinics, services and other ministries of CHRISTUS Health located in the Beaumont, Port Arthur, and Jasper areas of Texas. A myriad of other health services, such as physician offices, clinics, outpatient services and programs are located throughout the eight-county area served by CHRISTUS Health Southeast Texas. CHRISTUS Health was formed in 1999 to strengthen the 130-year-old, faith-based health care ministries of the Congregations of the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word of Houston and San Antonio. Founded on the mission "to extend the healing ministry of Jesus Christ," CHRISTUS is challenged to reach out to, and beyond, the more than 60 communities we serve to help those in need. CHRISTUS Health responds to the health care needs through services provided at more than 35 hospitals and long-term care facilities, as well as dozens of health care clinics, physicians' offices, outpatient services, and community-based programs in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Utah, and Oklahoma. Although programs may differ from facility to facility, each of our health care entities has the same objective -- which is to lead the way to a healthier community.</Description>

        <Explanation>The Executive Compensation Committee of CHRISTUS Health determines the compensation of the CEO (or Executive Director, as applicable), officers and key employees of Christus Health and certain other officers and key employees of related organizations, including the Executive Director of CHRISTUS Health Foundation of Southeast Texas. The Executive Compensation Committee is composed of individuals who have no conflict of interest with the compensation arrangements at hand. CHRISTUS Health CEO's compensation is subject to approval by the CHRISTUS Health board, after discussion by the Executive Compensation Committee. The Executive Compensation Committee of the CHRISTUS Health Board selects an independent external firm to perform an independent compensation review, to ensure that all compensation is reasonable and comparable to other similarly situated organizations, for similarly qualified persons in functionally comparable positions, and to provide supporting information of compensation decisions. On an annual basis the external consultant: 1. completes a review of the compensation and benefits of the CEO and provides a written report, and appears in person with the committee to address the annual compensation review and any decisions related to such compensation for the CEO. The consultant also provides all of the comparable market data to support recommendations and decisions. 2. develops the merit increase recommendations for all Designated System Executives based on market comparability. 3. recommends the changes in the Compensation Structure (grades) based on the market changes. 4. completes a review and evaluation of newly created positions to recommend a grade placement to the Committee for its discussion and approval. On a bi-annual basis, the external consultant completes a detailed review of all other Designated System Executives' compensation and benefits. This group includes all top management officials, other officers and key leaders of the organization. The review includes recommendations to the Committee on any changes necessary in either specific compensation or compensation structure to ensure market competitiveness, reasonableness and internal equity. Upon recommendations from the independent external firm, the Executive Compensation Committee makes final compensation decisions. Additionally, the Executive Compensation Committee reviews all compensation payments for excess benefit transactions. The discussion and decisions of the Committee are documented and formalized in the Committee minutes and maintained on record.</Explanation>
