Contributors of $25 or more to physicians' home are contributing members of the corporation for that fiscal year. Those elected by the members to be directors, trustees, or officers of the corporation are administrative members.”

“Each contributing member may attend the annual meeting of the organization, and vote for the governing body. Members of the governing body are considered administrative members. Each contributing member and administrative member of the corporation is entitled to one vote, in person or by proxy, at all meetings of members.”

“The organization has its form 990 prepared by an outside accounting firm and has established the following review process to ensure that the information reported is complete and accurate. When the form 990 has been prepared, reviewed by appropriate officers and the internal accountant and is ready to be filed with the internal revenue service, a paper copy of the form 990 is provided to the board members of the organization for any comments. Any comments are then grouped, summarized and provided to the outside accountants. Each issue is documented and addressed until the return is finalized and approved for filing.”

“The physicians' home conflict of interest policy covers all members of the board of directors, trustees, officers, accountant(s), auditor(s), investment manager(s), and office staff. These persons receive a statement of conflict of interest policy (which also covers confidentiality and whistleblower activities). The conflict of interest statement requires that persons covered under the statement will disclose to the executive committee any such situation. If and when a potential conflict of interest is disclosed and validated by the executive committee, the person is expected to recuse himself/herself from the related activities.”

This compensation was last established and approved by the board of directors in fiscal year 2018. The board considered a report of comparable data prepared by an outside consultant in conducting their review.”
