| Part VI Line 4 | Marshfield clinic health system, inc. (the organization) is a wisconsin non-stock, not-for-profit corporation. the organization was incorporated on october 12, 2012 as part of the reorganization of certain activities historically conducted by the marshfield clinic (the clinic) and its affiliates. on february 19, 2014, the organization received a decision from the us tax court, which declared, adjudged and decided that the organization was qualified as an organization described in irc section 501(c)(3) and irc section 509(a)(3), and was exempt from taxation under irc section 501(a), effective october 12, 2012. the irs subsequently sent a determination letter on march 7th, 2014 providing that the organization was exempt from federal income tax under 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code, with an effective date of october 12, 2012. effective february 28, 2014, the organization became the sole corporate member of the clinic and lakeview medical center, inc. of rice lake (lakeview) (replacing the clinic) and one of two corporate members (replacing the clinic) of flambeau hospital, inc. (flambeau). the organization is a supporting organization and the supported organizations are the clinic, lakeview, and flambeau (collectively, the supported organizations). on may 6th, 2014, the organization also became the sole corporate member of security health plan (the plan). over the period of four years, the clinic's leadership and physician shareholders (now class a members) engaged in numerous discussions and planning meetings in developing a plan of reorganization for the purpose of creating a comprehensive healthcare system under the strategic direction and control of a common parent entity. The organization was formed to serve as that parent entity, with its board of directors (the board) serving as an overarching governing body exercising fiduciary responsibilities on behalf of the system as a whole. in this regard, the organization's board, which is comprised of representatives from each of the supported organizations and the plan, including all eleven of the members of the clinic's board of directors, as well as thirteen community members, is tasked with promoting the efficient and effective operation of the system. Up until the time the organization received confirmation from the irs recognizing it as an exempt organization described in section 501(c)(3) of the code, its activities were conducted largely by its board. since february 28, 2014, the organization has been in a period of transition, carrying out steps to consolidate certain administrative functions (currently carried on by each supported organization and the plan) at the system level, with the intent of transitioning appropriate personnel and other resources to the organization accordingly. In addition, certain other actions will be taken to more fully integrate the organization, the supported organizations and the plan within the system. specifically, as of june 1, 2014, the organization became a member of the obligated group associated with tax-exempt bonds that have been issued on behalf of the clinic and lakeview. |
