Hughston's advanced reconstructive trauma services offers patients more treatment options for multiples broken bones in multiple limbs, broken bones that don't heal correctly or a severe injury.Often, traumatologists are consulted about a severely injured patient who is en route to the hospital so they can be in the emergency room when the patient arrives. This allows the traumatologist to be involved in what has become known as the "Golden Hour" of trauma care. During this period, decisions have to be made rapidly with very little time for reflection. Although all orthopedists treat common injuries, the Hughston traumatologist is sought out for the definitive care of the most complex problems.</Description>

        <Explanation>Part II, Column C Larry Sanders - During 2009, CRHS (and affiliates) terminated an existing deferred compensation arrangement for Mr. Sanders that resulted in a total payout to him of $953,513. Mr. Sanders has been an officer of the organization or its predecessor since 1981 and has served as Chairman and CEO since 1989. Compensation in the amount of $527,520 has been reported in previous Forms 990 associated with the terminated arrangement.

        <Explanation>It is the policy of Columbus Regional that employees and agents cannot participate in any activities that conflict with, or appear to conflict with, their professional responsibilities to the organization. It is the policy of Columbus Regional to provide mechanisms by which employees, medical staff,and other associates of the organization may report suspected violations of government laws or corporate policies without fear of retaliation or termination of employment. Employees and agents have a responsibility to report suspected violations, provided they are reporting in good faith and have evidence to support their suspicion. Columbus Regional encourages the development of an "open door" policy by managers to welcome comments, concerns and questions from their employees and agents. Suspected Conflict of Interest violations may be reported to managers or supervisors. Violations may also be reported to the Corporate Compliance Officer (by phone, e-mail or in person), by completing a form, or by contacting the Compliance Helpline. If an individual is hesitant about using any of these reporting mechanisms, he/she may contact Columbus Regional's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. All reports of suspected violations are investigated in a prompt and reasonable manner by the Corporate Compliance Officer or, as appropriate, by a member of the Corporate Compliance Committee. An inherent and important part of Columbus Regional's corporate compliance program involves measuring the effectiveness of the program in adhering to specific governmental regulations, corporate policies and business ethical standards. At the designation of management, compliance activities are reviewed. The Corporate Compliance Officer ensures that the results of compliance-related audits, Helpline activity, employee compliance activities and other compliance issues deemed relevant are reported on a periodic basis to Columbus Regional's CEO and Finance and Planning Committee.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Columbus Regional takes very seriously the responsibility to appropriately and effectively manage the executive compensation and benefits program for its key executives. Setting the compensation of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, approving the compensation of other senior executives, and overseeing the executive compensation program as a whole, are the responsibilities of the compensation committee of the board. Columbus Regional has had a compensation committee for many years. The committee is currently chaired by a 20+ year board member. To assist the committee, the board has engaged the services of a nationally recognized executive compensation consulting firm. Columbus Regional's executive compensation program is designed to attract and retain highly qualified executives to fulfill Columbus Regional's mission of promoting the health and healing of patients. Columbus Regional's peer group consists of non-profit healthcare organizations of similar size and complexity from across the nation. Base salaries of executives are positioned at specific percentile targets of Columbus Regional's peer group. Current studies indicate that our base salaries are at targeted levels. Columbus Regional strives to provide all executives with retirement benefits that are equivalent for all employees. Retirement contributions are based on a clearly stated income replacement target as determined by retirement plan consultants. The goal of Columbus Regional is to provide market competitive compensation and benefits programs for all employees at all levels of the organization.</Explanation>
