“The sole member is group health, inc.”

Also appoints the other members of the lakeview health board from nominees submitted by the lakeview health board of directors. Group health, inc.

“Lh's 990 return has a comprehensive review process that is followed before it is presented to the governing body of lakeview health. The review process includes a layered review by the tax department of group health, inc. (ghi), the management team of lh, ghi's internal legal department and lh's outside independent accountants. Each one of those areas has an opportunity to review, ask questions and make comments back to the tax department of ghi before the form 990 is completed and presented to the governing body of lh. Lh makes available to the governing body (board of directors) a copy of the 990 for review and comment prior to the filing of the 990 return.”

“The lh board monitors potential conflicts of interest on the part of its board members, principal officers, members of committees with board delegated powers, and key employees ("covered persons") by maintaining a conflict of interest policy. Under the policy, covered persons annually are provided with a copy of the policy and asked to complete a questionnaire identifying any potential conflicts of interests. The general counsel of healthpartners reviews the questionnaire responses and develops a report detailing any potentially material conflicts for the president and chair of the board. A verbal summary is also given to the full board or appropriate committee ending with a reminder to covered persons of the policy's mandate that each person is obligated to disclose any new potential conflicts as they may arise throughout the year. Board agendas and executive decisions are monitored in relation to this policy. If a disclosed conflict of interest impacts an agenda item or decision, the covered person would be excluded from voting and may be excluded from receiving information and/or participating in deliberations, depending on the circumstances.”

“Lh has no employees and does not pay compensation. All officers and key employees are paid by group health, inc. (ghi), or lakeview memorial hospital association, inc. (lmha), related organizations. Any compensation disclosed is paid and determined solely by the related organizations. Therefore, part vi, section b, question 15 is not applicable to lh.”

“Lh's financial statements and 990 returns are made available to any person who requests the information from lh or healthpartners. Lh's articles of incorporation are available to any person who requests the information through the minnesota secretary of state's office.”

“Average weekly hours: the compensated board members and officers frequently devote their time to multiple related organizations in a particular week. Each individual works an average of approximately 55 hours per week for lh and its related organizations.”
