Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c
The purpose of the Conflict of Interest Policy is to protect the interest of the Corporation when it is contemplating entering into a transaction or arrangement that might benefit the private interest of a Corporate Person (defined as a member of the Board of Directors, Board Committee members and officers) or might be adverse to the Corporation. The policy is intended to supplement, but not replace, any applicable state laws governing conflicts of interest applicable to nonprofit and charitable corporations. Definitions: A. Any Corporate Person who has a direct or indirect financial interest, as defined below, is an interested person. If a person is an interested person with respect to any entity in the health care system of which the Corporation is a part, he or she is an interested person with respect to all entities in the health care system. B. Financial Interest - A person has a financial interest if the person has, directly or indirectly, through business, investment or family: 1. An ownership or investment interest in any entity with which the Corporation has a transaction or arrangement, or 2. A compensation arrangement with the Corporation or with any entity or individual with which the Corporation has a transaction or arrangement, or 3. A potential ownership or investment interest in, or compensation arrangement with, any entity or individual with whom the Corporation is negotiating a transaction or arrangement. Compensation includes direct and indirect remuneration as well as gifts or favors that are substantial in nature. 4. A financial interest is not necessarily a conflict of interest. Under Section III-B, a person who has a financial interest may have a conflict of interest only if the Audit Committee decides that a conflict of interest exists. Procedures: A. Duty to Disclose - An interested Person or Corporate Person must disclose the existence of his or her financial interest and must be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the Audit Committee. B. Determining whether a Conflict of Interest Exists - After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, the Audit Committee decides if a conflict of interest exists. C.Procedures for Addressing the Conflict of Interest: 1. After exercising due diligence, the Audit Committee shall determine how the conflict of interest will be resolved. The Audit Committee shall recommend appropriate action to the Board of Directors. D. Violations of the Conflicts of Interest Policy: 1. If any Corporate person has reasonable cause to believe that another Corporate Person has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, that person shall inform the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee shall inform the subject person of the basis for such believe and afford that person a opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. 2. If, after hearing the response of the person and making further investigation as warranted, the Audit Committee shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action. The minutes of the Audit Committee shall contain the names of the person(s) found to have an actual or possible conflict of interest as well as the nature and content of the actual or possible conflict and its discussion, the decision of the Audit Committee as to whether a conflict of interest in fact exists and the committee's recommendation to the Board of Directors. The names of the person(s) present for discussion and the votes relating to the discussion. All Corporate Persons, shall at the time of appointment or commencement to service to the Corporation, and annually thereafter, sign a statement ("Disclosure Certificate") affirming that such person has received a copy of the conflicts of interest policy, has read and understand the policy, has agreed to comply with the policy, and understands that the Corporation is a charitable organization and that in order to maintain its Federal tax exemption it must engage primarily in activities which accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt purposes. The certifier has a continuing and ongoing duty, to immediately report any conflict or duality of interest as same arises. Periodic reviews shall be conducted. Every two years, all Mercy mangers (i.e. employees with the title of supervisor, manager, director, vice president, chief operating officer and/or president/chief executive officer) and certain other key employees will be required to sign an agreement regarding conflicts of interest, which includes a duty to disclose any actual, apparent or potential conflicts. Periodic checks will be conducted by the Human Resources Department to determine changes that have occurred, however, all employees are expected to exercise good judgment and discretion in evaluating a particular activity so as to avoid any actual or apparent conflicts of interest. In addition, all employees have a responsibility to promptly disclose in writing any activity that might be deemed to create a conflict of interest for review and approval by his/her supervisor. Mercy prohibits all employees from accepting gifts, gratuities, or entertainment from individuals and firms with whom Mercy does business. It is also a violation to give gifts to individuals or firms with whom Mercy does business. Excluded from this prohibition is the exchange of normal business courtesies such as luncheons or dinners, when they are proper and consistent with regular business practice. Employees who fail to disclose potential conflicts of interest and/or who engage in an activity that constitutes a conflict of interest will be subject to disciplinary action including termination.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15
Mercy Hospital and Medical Center uses an executive compensation survey compiled by Sullivan Cotter & Associates. The Vice President of Human Resources reviews the salary survey data each year and presents the results to the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors. The Executive Committee reviews the data and makes a recommendation to adjust the CEO's salary, when supported by the data, to the full Board of Directors. Minutes of all Board of Director meetings are recorded. Mercy Hospital does not have a formal compensation committee; however, the Executive Committee assumes this function. No outside compensation consultants are used.
