“Regional west health services (rwhs), the sole member, has the power to approve or change long-term and master strategic or business plans of the organization, approve budgets, the merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution of the corporation, approve of or change the charity care policies and procedures, as well as the amendments to any governing documents.”

“The board will have an opportunity to review drafts electronically prior to filing.”

“Annual disclosure by board members of any conflict of interest, as set forth in the policies, is required. For any possible conflict of interest identified, the remaining board determines if it actually constitutes a conflict of interest without the conflicted board member present. If a conflict of interest is determined to exist, the board, less the conflicted member, will then decide the level of involvement of the member in decision making for the entity, if there is an alternative arrangement that will eliminate the conflict of interest, and the appropriateness of the conflicted member continuing as a board member. Failure to disclose a conflict of interest can result in disciplinary and corrective action for the conflicted member.”
