“Central Connecticut Health Alliance is organized as a non-stock not-for-profit entity. Hartford HealthCare Corporation is the sole member.”

“The sole member of the organization has the authority to approve/deny members of the governing body.”

“The Form 990 was prepared by Hartford HealthCare's Tax Department. It was then reviewed by an independent accounting firm. It was then forwarded to the organization's top management including the VP of Finance for review. The final form was provided to the entire Board. Once the entire review process was completed, the form was signed by the VP of Finance and then filed with the Internal Revenue Service.”

“CCHA's Board has adopted the policy of the member, Hartford HealthCare Corporation (HHC). HHC's Conflict of Interest Policy (Policy) requires all covered individuals, including board members and officers, to provide a disclosure of relationships that create or have the appearance of creating a conflict of interest or commitment. The Policy requires updates if changes in circumstances arise during the year that either (a) create a new potential conflict of interest or commitment or (b) change or eliminate a conflict of interest or commitment previously disclosed. Conflict of Interest disclosure statements are maintained by the HHC Office of Compliance, Audit & Privacy (OCAP). All employee disclosures are reviewed by OCAP to determine if there is a potential conflict. The legal counsel reviews all cases where the individual has a significant financial interest and these cases are forwarded to the System Executive Compliance Steering Committee. The System Executive Compliance Steering Committee will assess and may recommend whether 1) the conflict be eliminated, 2) the proposed activity be prohibited, or 3) a Conflict of Interest management plan be implemented. Results of the survey of board members are reported to the HHC Nominating and Governance Committee for determinations of conflicts and the management of them, where applicable. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Lines 13 & 14: The organization does have a written Document Retention and Destruction policy as well as a written Whistleblower policy. Although the policies were not formally approved by the Board, they were in effect for the entire tax year.”

“The Organization's Form 990, Form 1023 and its attachments are available upon request.”
