“Mennonite general hospital has a written policy that applies to the governing body. Besides said policy, the contracts of officers, directors and key employees include a conflict of interest clause. The audit and legal department continuously evaluate transactions to assure the compliance with the policy and contractual clauses. In essence, both ways assure that the officer, director or employee puts the corporation's interests before their own. We take into account that the conflicts of interests may be economical, of personal relations, of power of status, among other possibilities. Through these measures the company also assures the confidentiality of the information and business strategies. If a potential conflict is discovered, it is analyzed at corporative level and the conflictive contract is terminated. Since we are proactive avoiding conflicts of interests transactions, the only group that has restrictions due to possible conflicts of interests is the governing body. The policy that applies to this group states that the member with the conflict may participate but will not be included in the quorum of the meeting discussing the conflictive transaction, neither can vote or use its personal influence to affect the vote regarding the transaction. The minutes of the meeting will reflect that a discovery was done, the abstention of the member during the voting process and the quorum situation.”
