’s short- and long-term strategy while being mindful of the complex and dynamic nature of the health services industry, as well as any upcoming planned retirements. The Committee’s objective is to balance the knowledge and insights gained from long-term service on the Board with the new skills and experience that result from adding directors to the Board, at a pace that allows the Board to maintain its high-performing and effective culture. The Corporate Governance Committee retains a third-party search firm to assist in identifying and evaluating candidates for Board membership.

New directors undergo an extensive Board and committee orientation process, overseen by the Corporate Governance Committee. The orientation process is designed to enable new members of the Board to become active, knowledgeable, and effective Board members. As part of this process, each new director receives a series of briefings designed to provide meaningful interactions with our executive officers and other senior leaders. These briefings focus on, among other topics, our business operations, strategic plans, financial statements and policies, risk management framework and significant risks, regulatory matters, corporate governance, human capital management and leadership succession, and key policies and practices, including our Codes of Ethics, as well as the roles and responsibilities of the Board. Board orientation may also include site visits to key business operations.
