| Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c | Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflicts | As stated in Centegra's Bylaws, the Bylaws recognize that both real and apparent conflicts of interest sometimes naturally occur in the course of conducting daily affairs. Conflicts occur because the many persons associated with Centegra should be expected to have and do, in fact, generally have multiple interests and affiliations and various positions of responsibility within the community. The long-range interests of Centegra do not require the termination of all association with persons who may have real or apparent conflicts if a prescribed and effective method can render such conflicts harmless to all concerned. Centegra Health System has a conflict of interest policy that is intended to address such matters. 1. Duty to Disclose: In connection with any actual or possible conflicts of interest, an interested person or other person subject to this policy must disclose the existence and nature of his or her financial interest in writing to the President of Centegra or the Chief Corporate Responsibility Officer or designee, who shall provide such written disclosure to the Governors Affairs Committee of Centegra, which shall consider all conflicts of interest issues and, if appropriate, to the directors and members of committees with board-delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. The disclosure must occur, at minimum, annually, with a Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statement being submitted no later than January 31st of each year. Copies of disclosure statements filed by Board members shall be distributed to the Board annually at the February Board meeting.2. Determining Whether a Conflict of Interest Exists: When a conflict of interest is disclosed at meeting of the board or committee thereof, after disclosure of the financial interest, the interested person shall leave the board or committee meeting while the financial interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining board or committee members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. The interested person's leaving such meeting shall not affect whether a quorum exists at such meeting.3. Procedures for Addressing the Transaction or Arrangement From Which the Conflict Arose: A. The chairperson of the board or committee shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement.B. After exercising due diligence, the board or committee shall determine whether Centegra can obtain a more advantageous transaction or arrangement with reasonable efforts from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest.C. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably attainable under circumstances that would not give rise to a conflict of interest, the board or committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in Centegra's best interest and for its own benefit and whether the transaction is fair and reasonable to Centegra and shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement in conformity with such determination.4. Violations of the Conflicts of Interest Policy: A. If the administration, the board, or a committee has a reasonable cause to believe that a member has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it shall inform the member of the basis for such belief and afford the member an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose.B. If, after hearing the response of the member and making such further investigation as may be warranted in the circumstances, the board or committee determines that the member has, in fact, failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall refer the matter to the Governors Affairs Committee for consideration, which shall subsequently recommend appropriate disciplinary and corrective action to such board or committee. |
