“Compliance with conflict of interest policy: to ensure that all affiliates operate in a manner that is consistent with their charitable purposes and that they engage only in transactions that are reasonable and the result of arm's length bargaining, st. Anthony's medical center has adopted and enforces compliance with a conflict of interest policy for all of its affiliates, including st. Anthony's charitable foundation. The policy requires disclosure of any actual or potential conflict of interest. Individual directors, officers and key employees are surveyed annually concerning their relationships to determine whether conflicts of interest might exist. If the st. Anthony's medical center board of directors or any committee or administrator has reasonable cause to believe that an individual has failed to disclose actual or potential conflicts of interest, the individual must be informed and afforded the opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If, after hearing the response of the individual and making such further investigation as may be warranted in the circumstances, the st. Anthony's medical center board of directors, or any committee or administrator determines that the individual has, in fact, failed to disclose an actual or potential conflict of interest, appropriate disciplinary and corrective action shall be taken against the individual.”

The most recent compensation reviews were conducted in july of 2014 and february of 2015.”
