An individual is considered to have a conflict of interest with regard to a matter or transaction if the individual has a personal or financial interest that has the potential to influence the action taken by the individual on behalf of lifebridge or any of its subsidiaries. An individual is considered to have a "personal interest" in a matter if it is likely to have a direct and material impact on the individual's relationship with lifebridge or any of its subsidiaries (e.g., the individual's continued membership on a subsidiary hospital's medical staff), or on the individual's own health care, or the individual is personally involved in a substantial way (e.g., serves as an officer, director, trustee, or key employee) with another organization that has a significant interest in the matter.

For the purposes of this policy, a "family member" includes spouse or domestic partner, parents, brothers and sisters, children (whether natural or adopted), grandparents, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and in-laws, spouses of brothers, sisters, children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, and any other member of a household of the individual.

Questionnaires are sent out to members of the board on an annual basis. If questions arise or further guidance is sought, individuals can contact the chief compliance officer or confidential compliance hotline. Nothing in this definition is intended to relieve any person of any additional obligations that may be imposed by state or federal law.”
