South Shore Health System (SSHS), parent of South Shore Hospital, has a Compensation Committee that sets the compensation philosophy and pay approach for the executive team and makes compensation decisions for the President/CEO.

The consultant presents relevant data to the Committee for review and approval for the President/CEO. All data presented, as well as compensation deliberations and votes, is documented in the Compensation Committee minutes. The Board's review and approval process takes place annually for implementation at the start of the new fiscal year.
