“The organization does not have any committees with authority to act on behalf of the governing body.”

“The completed form 990 was provided to management and the board of directors for their review and comments prior to its filing.”

“Immediately upon election or appointment to the board, all directors, principal officers, or member of a committee shall disclose any relevant interest which may pose conflict of interest questions. Thereafter, annual disclosure statements are completed each year. Disclosure shall include any interest, financial or otherwise, in any corporation, organization or partnership which provides professional or other services to the corporation. Diclosure statements shall be available to any director or the corporation on request. When any matter comes before the board or any committee of the board in which a director has an interest, that interest shall be immediately disclosed to the board or committee. Whether a director has an interest in a matter shall be determined by whether that person would derive an individual economic benefit, either directly or indirectly, from the decision on the matter by the board or committee. An "interest" is not intended to include positions on legislative matters of general impact. No director shall vote on any matter in which he or she has an interest. The board may, by majority vote, ask any director who has an interest in a matter not to participate, or to leave the room in which the discussion is carried on; provided, however, that the interested director may participate in any discussion regarding his or her exclusion. Directors shall not attempt to influence other directors regarding matters in which they are interested, without disclosing that interest.”

“In determining compensation, the human resource committee of the board will obtain research and information to make a recommendation to the full board for the compensation (salary and benefits) of the executive director (and other highly compensated employees or consultants) based on a review of comparability data. To approve the compensation for the executive director (and other highly compensated employees and consultants) the board must document how it reached it decisions, including the data on which it relied, in minutes of the meeting during which the compensation was approved. Documentation will include: a. A description of the compensation and benefits and the date it was approved; b. The members of the board who were present during the discussion about compensation and benefits, and the results of the vote; c. A description of the comparability data relied upon and how the data was obtained; and d. Any actions taken (such as abstaining from the discussion and vote) with respect to consideration of the compensation by anyone who is otherwise a member of the board but who had a conflict of interest with respect to the decision on the compensation and benefits. If the president, executive director or other employee is a board member, he or she may not participate in the vote with respect to his or her compensation. Review of the compensation policy is documented in the board minutes and was last undertaken in 2020.”

“Nyc medics rapidly deploys to remote and difficult to reach areas in disaster zones and complex humanitarian emergencies providing the highest level of medical care with dignitiy, integrity, and compassion to people who would otherwise not have access to aid and relief efforts.”

“NYCMedics is committed to the humanitarian imperative - the right to receive and to give assistance wherever it is needed. We are a global relief organization that works in unison with the larger humanitarian response to disasters and complex emergencies throughout the world to save lives and lessen human suffering. We put our mission into action with three core international programs: mobile medical disaster relief, health systems development, and global aid targeted initiatives. NYCMedics is uniquely positioned to rapidly deploy emergency medical teams that provide the highest level of care to people who would otherwise not have access to relief efforts. We build sustainable emergency medical systems and disaster preparedness infrastructure in low- and middle-income countries on a local, regional, and national scale. We also partner with local nonprofit organizations by providing expert technical assistance and the necessary resources that support ongoing humanitarian relief efforts to aid vulnerable populations isolated by geographical or economic barriers. NYCMedics has developed a relationship with the Ministry of Health (MOH) in Ethiopia, focusing on collaborative efforts to enhance the country's health systems development. This partnership is centered around key areas critical to the improvement of healthcare delivery, including emergency and critical care services, prehospital care, mass casualty management, and building emergency medical response and surge capacity. By identifying these areas for collaboration, NYCMedics aims to not only address immediate needs but also work on long-term capacity building within Ethiopia's healthcare infrastructure. These efforts are designed to strengthen the country's ability to respond effectively to emergencies and disasters, improve patient outcomes in critical situations, and close existing gaps in emergency care services. Furthermore, NYCMedics and the MOH are exploring training and knowledge transfer initiatives that empower local healthcare workers and first responders, ensuring sustainable improvements in the delivery of emergency care across the nation. This partnership reflects a shared commitment to enhancing Ethiopia's overall health system resilience and preparedness for future public health emergencies. NYCMedics has been actively engaged in weekly global Emergency Medical Team (EMT) coordination meetings and developing comprehensive proposals for two crisis-affected countries, Gaza and Sudan. These proposals aim to provide structured, high-quality medical services, although by the end of 2023 they have not yet been implemented. They outline a full suite of EMT Type 1 Fixed services, including trauma care for conflict-related injuries, emergency and primary health care, non-communicable disease (NCD) management, pre- and postnatal care, emergency obstetrical care, newborn interventions, and patient transfers. Recognizing the specific needs of conflict zones, the proposals also integrate traumatic injury and post-surgical wound care as critical components of support. Proposed services were expanded to include a six-bed inpatient capacity and outpatient therapeutic feeding programs to combat malnutrition. These proposals address the urgent need for comprehensive medical care in regions severely affected by conflict and food insecurity, with ongoing efforts to secure the necessary funding for implementation. NYCMedics has also contributed to the development of international standards and guidelines for EMTs operating in conflict zones and volatile environments through its participation in WHO working groups. NYCMedics Leadership has played a key role in shaping these guidelines as part of the WHO Red Book Working Group, where they chair both the Staff Safety & Ethics Sub-Working Group, focused on staff safety and security, and the Referral Pathway Sub-Working Group, ensuring EMTs can manage patient referrals and transfer needs to deliver the appropriate level of care in e”
