“Mayo clinic, mayo foundation for medical education and research and other related companies provide management services to the entire system of entities.

“The bylaws of bloomer lakeview, inc. Were amended february 2020 to change their fiscal year-end to the last day of december. The bylaws for mchs-southwest minnesota were amended march 2020. The bylaws state that the board of directors will include seven community members representing the community service areas within the region served by mchs-southwest minnesota. Due to the closure of the hospital in springfield, mn during 2020, the bylaws were amended to eliminate the community director position for springfield, mn and add a community at-large director from one of the other primary service areas. In addition, the bylaws allow community boards for certain sites/community service areas. Such community boards are standing committees of the board of directors of mchs-southwest minnesota. Due to the closure of the hospital in springfield, mn during 2020, the bylaws were amended to eliminate the community board for springfield, mn.”

“The member of each subordinate in the mayo clinic group return is mayo clinic or a subordinate of mayo clinic. The one exception is bloomer lakeview, inc. Which does not have any members per their articles of incorporation.”

“The subordinate's governing bodies are elected, nominated, designated, appointed, approved and/or confirmed by mayo clinic and/or a subordinate of mayo clinic.”

“The articles and/or bylaws provide the corporate member power in areas such as compensation, capital, budget, debt, and approval of amendments to the articles and bylaws. The one exception is bloomer lakeview, inc. Which does not have any members per their articles of incorporation. In the case of bloomer lakeveiw, inc, such decisions would ultimately be subject to the approval of mayo clinic health system-norhtwest wisconsin region, inc. Which elects the governing body of bloomer lakeview, inc.”

“The filing organization has no committees with the authority to act on behalf of the board.”

“The form 990 is prepared by mayo corporate tax. The tax return goes through two levels of review within the corporate tax unit and is reviewed by the tax director. It is then reviewed by the financial reporting and consolidation chair, financial and accounting services chair, revenue cycle chair, chief investment officer, chief financial officer and chief legal officer. A copy of the form 990 is then provided to each member of the governing body via us mail, e-mail, or distribution at a board meeting. All questions are addressed prior to filing the form 990.”

“Mayo clinic and its affiliates have a comprehensive conflict of interest policy applicable to all of the affiliated entities and to all directors, officers, and employees of those entities. All current and former officers, directors, trustees, key employees and highest compensated employees who we anticipate will be listed on a form 990 are asked to complete an "annual tax and compliance disclosure" form. This information is reviewed by both the corporate tax department and the office of conflict of interest review. All disclosures of current or proposed activity that require action under the policy are the subject of ongoing review and action through the office of conflict of interest review and the conflict of interest review board. Involved individuals are informed of all required action. Many types of relationships that could create conflicts of interest are prohibited. Other types of relationships are permitted subject to compliance with the management plan established by the conflict of interest review board. A common management strategy for permitted activities is to require bilateral recusal and appropriate documentation in the minutes of mayo clinic (and/or affiliate) and the outside entity. Additional conflict of interest policies and procedures exist for certain entities concerning research contracts and other types of potential conflicts.”

“The filing organization is an affiliate of mayo clinic. Mayo clinic and its affiliates have a coordinated process for reviewing and approving compensation and benefits for executive leadership, consulting staff and senior administrative leadership, along with allied health staff. In addition to any review and approval that may take place at the local entity or regional level, the following independent approval process occurs annually prior to implementation of the respective compensation increase. The compensation and benefits of the ceo and the cao of mayo clinic and mayo clinic group were reviewed and approved by the process described below. The compensation and benefits of executive leadership, consulting staff and senior administrative leadership for all campuses, including the mayo clinic health system locations, are reviewed and approved by the mayo clinic board of trustees governance and nominating committee. The mayo clinic board of trustees governance and nominating committee is comprised of nine of the external independent members of the mayo clinic board of trustees. This group reviews and approves the compensation and benefit programs for executive leadership, consulting staff and certain senior administrative leadership from all campuses (including all persons believed to be disqualified persons). This process establishes acceptable ranges for various positions, levels, and specialties. The committee uses comparability data (including third-party benchmarking surveys) in its review and documents decisions in its minutes. In addition, the mayo clinic board of trustees governance and nominating committee directly retains an independent third-party compensation consultant to provide relevant, contemporaneous benchmark information for a small group of executive leadership and senior physician positions for which an individualized review and recommendation is made.”

“The governing documents for the subordinates within this return are not available to the public. The conflict of interest policy is available upon request and also on the mayoclinic.org website. Some of the subordinates within this group return are hospitals affiliated with mayo clinic. As such, mayo clinic's consolidated audited financial statements are attached to the filing organization's form 990 and would be available upon request of the form 990.”

“On march 1, 2020 after careful review of patient volumes, ongoing staffing issues and regulatory concerns, mayo clinic health system closed its hospital and emergency department in springfield minnesota.”

These thresholds include the greater of $5,000 or 2% of total contributions for section 501(c)(3) organizations described in sections 509(a)(1) and 170(b)(1)(a)(vi).
