“Ltc (eddy) has adopted trinity health's governance policy no. 1, which sets forth the organization's conflict of interest policy and processes. It applies to all "interested persons" of ltc (eddy), which includes directors, principal officers, key employees, and members of committees with board-delegated powers. Interested persons are expected to discharge their duties in a manner the person reasonably believes to be in the best interests of ltc (eddy) and to avoid situations involving a conflict of interest. On an annual basis, interested persons are required to complete a conflict of interest disclosure statement and to affirm their receipt of the conflict of interest policy, compliance with its requirements, and agree to notify the organization of changes impacting their annual disclosure in accordance with the policy. The annual disclosures are provided to the integrity and compliance officer, who collaborates with internal legal counsel to assess the conflict and identify a conflict management plan when necessary. Additionally, the integrity and compliance officer along with legal counsel prepares a report for the board chair and ceo. A summary of potential conflicts is reviewed with the board of directors of ltc (eddy) (or a delegated committee of the board) on a yearly basis. Interested persons are required to make full disclosure to ltc (eddy) of any financial or business interests that might result in or have the appearance of a conflict of interest. The board of directors of ltc (eddy) (or a delegated committee of the board) is responsible for the review of transactions to determine whether an actual conflict of interest exists. In the event of an actual conflict, the board (or a delegated committee of the board) will either avoid the conflict or appropriately scrutinize the transaction to ensure it is in the best interests of ltc (eddy). Interested persons are required to recuse themselves from discussion and voting on matters involving a conflict of interest. The policy further addresses the proper documentation of the proceedings and potential disciplinary and corrective action for violations of the policy. The policy is available to the public upon request.”

As part of that process, the compensation and benefits of these individuals are reviewed at least annually by the trinity health board or the trinity health human resources and compensation committee (hrcc) of the board, authorized to act on behalf of the board with respect to certain compensation matters. As part of its review process, the hrcc retains an independent firm experienced in compensation and benefit matters for not-for-profit health care organizations to advise it in the determinations it makes on the reasonableness of proposed compensation and benefits arrangements. The compensation for ltc (eddy)'s other officers is established and paid by st. Peter's health partners.
