“The lifebridge exempt entities 990's are initially reviewed by the corporate controller. In addition, an independent accounting firm also reviews all the 990 returns. A formal meeting is then scheduled with the chief financial officer, vice president of financial reporting, general counsel, and the corporate controller to review in their entirety all the lifebridge exempt entities 990's. Management then provides a copy of the 990's to each individual board director prior to the filing date for review.”

“All directors, officers, employees, medical staff members, and volunteers are expected to recognize and disclose at the earliest possible time actual and potential conflicts of interest. An individual is considered to have a conflict of interest with regard to a matter or transaction if the individual or a family member of the individual has a personal or financial interest that has the potential to influence the action taken by the individual on behalf of lifebridge health. Additional information regarding what constitutes a conflict of interest and how to disclose a conflict is contained in the institutional conflict of interest policies outlined below. Lifebridge and all of its subsidiaries shall require all employees, medical staff, members of the board, and the executive staff to disclose any activities that could result in a possible conflict of interest. If a conflict is identified, the person involved would recuse him/herself from deliberations regarding the transactions. 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 or director) with another organization that has a significant interest in the matter. An individual is considered to have a "financial interest" in a transaction if the individual is a party to the transaction, or if the individual has, directly or indirectly a current or potential ownership or investment interest in a party to the transaction or a current or potential compensation arrangement with a party to the transaction. A "compensation arrangement" includes direct and indirect remuneration as well as gifts or favors of a substantial nature. An individual will be considered to have a conflict of interest with respect to a matter or transaction if a member of the individual's immediate family has such a conflict. For these purposes, a "member" of an individual's "immediate family" means an individual's spouse, mother, father, mother-in-law, father-in-law, grandfather, grandmother, brother, sister, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, son, daughter, son-in-law, or daughter-in-law. "step" relationships(e.g., stepchildren and stepparents) will be treated the same as blood relationships, except as determined otherwise in a specific circumstance by the lifebridge ceo or the president or designee of the appropriate lifebridge subsidiary. Ordinarily, ownership of less than 5% of an entity does not constitute an ownership interest for which disclosure is needed. Conflicts of interest are to be reported by employees to their supervisor, who will be responsible for determining whether further dissemination is necessary. Members of the medical staff should report conflicts to the chief of their department, and members of the board should report them to either the chairman of the board or the office of general counsel. Questionnaires are sent out to members of the board on an annual basis. If questions arise or further guidance is sought, conflicts should also be reported to the integrity hotline (410-601-9700) or office of general counsel (410-601-5129). Nothing in this definition is intended to relieve any person of any additional obligations that may be imposed by state or federal law.”
