Explanation
FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION
OUR MISSION TO ADDRESS THE UNMET HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF THE RESIDENTS OF OUR COMMUNITY THROUGH THE PROVISION OF QUALITY MEDICAL AND DENTAL SERVICES. OUR VALUES O SAFEGUARD AND PROMOTE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF THE COMMUNITY. O SERVE AS THE GAP FILLER FOR THE COMMUNITY. O PATIENTS ARE TREATED WITH RESPECT AND DIGNITY. O GOOD STEWARD OF HIGHLY VALUED RESOURCES (E.G. VOLUNTEERS). OUR VISION A COMMUNITY WHOSE EMERGING HEALTH NEEDS ARE MET WITH HIGH QUALITY HEALTH CARE USING QUALIFIED VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF, MAXIMIZED TO THEIR FULLEST EXTENT, AND COMMUNITY RESOURCES RESPONSIBLY APPLIED.
FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A
ARE THOSE THAT COME WITH HIGH DEDUCTIBLES, CO-INSURANCE, AND CO-PAYS. FOR MANY, MANY PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY, AVAILABILITY OF HEALTH INSURANCE HAS NOT EQUALED ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE. WE HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THE LEAST BIT OF DECREASE IN NEED FOR OUR SERVICES AS A RESULT OF THE ACA; TO THE CONTRACT, REQUESTS FOR APPOINTMENTS AT LCFC HAVE INCREASED. THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THOSE RECEIVING CARE AT LCFC HAVE REMAINED FAIRLY CONSTANT: ABOUT THREE-FOURTHS OF OUR PATIENTS ARE ADULTS, HALF ARE MALE AND HALF ARE FEMALE. THREE-QUARTERS OF OUR PATIENTS ARE CAUCASIAN, 12% ARE MULTI-RACIAL, 5% ARE AFRICAN AMERICAN, AND THE REMAINING 8% ARE AMERICAN INDIAN, ASIAN, OR SELF-DESCRIBED AS OTHER. ONE-QUARTER OF OUR PATIENTS REPORT BEING OF HISPANIC ETHNICITY. THOUGH THE MAJORITY OF ADULT PATIENTS AT LCFC ARE EMPLOYED, THOSE SEEN TEND TO BE AT OR BELOW THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. MANY REPORTED WORKING SEVERAL PART-TIME JOBS, NONE OF WHICH COME WITH HEALTH INSURANCE AS A BENEFIT, AND THOSE WHO WORK FULL-TIME INCREASINGLY REPORT THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO AFFORD THEIR SHARE OF THE PREMIUM IF INSURANCE IS OFFERED BY THEIR EMPLOYER. FOR THE SERVICES OFFERED AT LCFC, THERE ARE FEW IF ANY ALTERNATIVES IN THIS COMMUNITY FOR THOSE WHO ARE UN- OR UNDER-INSURED. IN FACT, WE ARE THE SAFETY NET PROVIDER FOR LAKE, GEAUGA, AND ASHTABULA COUNTIES. LCFC IS AN ESSENTIAL COMPONENT IN THE HEALTH CARE DELIVERY SYSTEM, AND WITHOUT THIS CLINIC MANY, MANY PEOPLE WOULD GO WITHOUT THE CARE THEY NEED WHICH, IN TURN, WOULD CAUSE UNDUE BURDEN ON EMERGENCY ROOMS AND PREVENT PEOPLE FROM BEING ACTIVE MEMBERS OF THEIR WORK, SCHOOL, AND FAMILY LIVES.
FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 11B
THE 990 IS PREPARED BY AN INDEPENDENT CPA AND THEN GIVEN TO THE PRESIDENT, TREASURER, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND HEAD ACCOUNTANT FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL. AFTER REVISIONS, IF NECESSARY, THE FINAL 990 IS PROVIDED TO THE FULL BOARD OF DIRECTORS PRIOR TO FILING WITH THE IRS.
FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 12C
EACH YEAR, THE BOARD MEMBERS ARE ASKED TO REVIEW THE ORGANIZATION'S CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE POLICY MAKES CLEAR THAT ALL DECISIONS OF THE BOARD, OFFICERS, AND EMPLOYEES OF THE ORGANIZATION ARE MADE SOLELY ON THE BASIS OF A DESIRE TO PROMOTE THE BEST INTEREST OF THE ORGANIZATION AND THE PUBLIC GOOD. THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATEMENT REQUESTS BOARD MEMBERS TO IDENTIFY TO THE BEST OF THEIR KNOWLEDGE AFFILIATIONS WITH ORGANIZATIONS THAT MAY BE POTENTIALLY RELATED TO THE FINANCIALS OR OTHER SUBSTANTIVE OPERATIONS OF THE ORGANIZATION. THEY ARE ALSO ASKED TO IDENTIFY CIRCUMSTANCES INVOLVING EITHER THEMSELVES, OR A MEMBER OF THEIR EXTENDED FAMILY, THAT MAY BE CONSTRUED AS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. AT THE STAFF LEVEL, THE ORGANIZATION'S PERSONNEL ALSO ENSURE THAT THERE ARE NO CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WHEN CONSIDERING THE ENGAGEMENT OF A NEW VENDOR. IF A POTENTIAL CONFLICT IS IDENTIFIED, APPROPRIATE STEPS ARE TAKEN TO BOTH ASSESS THE NATURE OF THE POTENTIAL CONFLICT AND, SUBSEQUENTLY, TO ENSURE THAT THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ACTUAL CONFLICT IS MITIGATED. SUCH MITIGATION IS MANAGED AND THE LETTER AND SPIRIT OF THE CONFLICTS POLICY ARE UPHELD.
