“Peter dolan & rick corcoran have a business relationship.”

“The organization has one class of members. These members consist of the individuals who are the then-serving members of ssm health ministries, a public juridic person and canonical successor to the religious institute, the franciscan sisters of mary (eight individuals). The voting rights, interests and privileges of each member are equal.”

“The members have the power to appoint and remove board members, with or without cause, except for those who serve ex-officio.”

“The member has the following powers: (a) to establish and change the mission, philosophy and values of the corporation; (b) to appoint the board of directors, except for those directors who serve ex officio, and to remove the appointed directors with or without cause; (c) to approve amendments to the articles of incorporation of the corporation as provided therein; (d) to approve amendments to the bylaws of the corporation; (e) to approve the merger, consolidation, or dissolution of the corporation; (f) to approve the sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer, alienation, pledge, encumbrance, mortgage or lease of real property or any interest therein of the corporation in accordance with policies approved by the members from time to time; (g) to approve any borrowing or guarantees of the corporation in accordance with policies approved by the members from time to time; and (h) to approve any actions of the corporation for itself or its controlled subsidiaries, remotely controlled subsidiaries and non-controlled subsidiaries which under the code of canon law would require the consent or approval of the members in their capacity as the members of ssm health ministries.”

“The form 990 is prepared by the tax department of the parent organization, ssm health care corporation (ssmh). The return is then reviewed by an independent accounting firm who signs as paid preparer. The return is then provided to a member of senior management. Any questions are addressed by the tax department of ssmh prior to filing the form 990 with the internal revenue service.”

“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 online. 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.”

“All ssmh executive salary/compensation information is based on comparative data with similar positions in the market. The compensation review process is performed annually by external independent compensation consultants. The salary data and potential adjustments, for the president/ceo of the system, the senior vice presidents and the regional presidents are presented to the ssmh board of directors by the same independent compensation consultants to approve, disapprove, or modify. The same comparative compensation process used for executive salary/compensation is performed internally for all employees. The ssmh board of directors has delegated salary approval for all other positions to the ssm health president/ceo.”

“The year-end audited consolidated financial statements and unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements for the ssm health system are made available to the public on ssm health's website. The organization's articles of incorporation are available on the missouri secretary of state's website. Copies of the form 990 and the organization's conflict of interest policy are available upon request.”
