“Accounting/finance personnel at each ssmh (ssm health system) entity, in conjunction with system finance personnel, prepare information and supporting schedules that are used to prepare the form 990. This information is then reviewed by a supervisor/manager and sent to the system office, where ssmh personnel prepare the form 990. The return is then reviewed by an independent accounting firm who signs as paid preparer. The return is provided to entity management personnel for final review prior to filing. The complete form 990 is provided electronically to all board members at the next regularly scheduled board meeting.”

“Board members are required to complete a conflict of interest disclosure statement annually. The President and Secretary of the Board oversee compliance with this requirement. All Board members with an identified conflict of interest abstain from Board discussions and votes when applicable. Employees with purchasing authority and/or ability to influence purchasing decisions are assigned the conflict of interest disclosure course (COI) which must be completed on line. Periodically through the year, the entity's corporate responsibility contact person (with the help of the entity's learning management system coordinator) sends department managers a list of employees who have not yet completed their COI so they can remind the employees and ensure the employees have time in their schedule to complete the required course. Resolution of any conflicts that are disclosed must be documented and kept on file at the entity. Supervisors verify required course completion prior to year end.”

The organization's articles of incorporation are available upon request to the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institution's office. Copies of the Form 990 and the organization's conflict of interest policy are available to the public upon request.”

“Since it was founded in 1872 by Catholic sisters, SSM Health (SSMH) has existed to meet the health needs of the communities it serves. SSMH is a Catholic, not-for- profit health system serving the comprehensive health needs of communities across the Midwest through one of the largest integrated delivery systems in the nation. With care delivery sites in Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin, SSMH includes 19 acute care hospitals, one children's hospital, more than 60 outpatient care sites, a pharmacy benefit company, an insurance company, two long-term care facilities, comprehensive home care and hospice services, a technology company, and two Accountable Care Organizations. The health system employs more than 31,000 people and is affiliated with more than 8,500 physicians making it one of the largest employers in every community it serves. SSMH is sponsored by SSM Health Ministries, an independent 8-member body comprised of three Franciscan Sisters of Mary and five lay people who collectively hold certain reserved powers over SSMH. In the tradition of its founding sisters, SSMH strives to fulfill its mission by providing exceptional health care to everyone who comes to its hospitals, regardless of their ability to pay. St. Mary's Foundation raises funds to support the healing mission of St. Mary's Hospital and St. Mary's Care Center in Madison, WI. Through gifts to the Foundation, donors support medical programs, the purchase of medical equipment, building improvements and departmental programs which benefit patients, residents and their families. In 2016, St. Mary's Foundation provided funding to improve the patient experience and support staff in their work of providing exceptional health care. St. Mary's Foundation made commitments to fund a new catheterization lab, a transport isolette for twins, comfort quilts for palliative care patients, wireless scanners for the emergency department, Sun Prairie Emergency Center, birth suites and antepartum departments, as well as clinical education scholarships and resident activities - all of which ultimately benefit our patients and their families.
