Dr. Schlosser is contracted to provide quality/utilization review.

LVCHO Board members Stephen Popkin and Roger McConnell serve LVMC in the capacity of CEO and Board member, respectively. Since LVMC owns the Clinics, this material business transaction is reportable on the schedule L. The transaction amount listed represents the amount that LVCHO paid to the Clinics in the aggregate for all contract medical services received during the year.This reportable business transaction impairs the voting independence of Mr. Popkin and Mr. McConnell as Board Members.Lompoc Valley Medical Center (LVMC) - is a tax exempt governmental entity.

“The organization was the recipient of contributions from donors. However, no contribution was made partly for goods and also for services. Donors made cash donations without the receipt of any goods or services, and the donor was properly notified of the deductible value of the donation they made. Thus questions 7a & 7b were left blank, since no goods and services in combination were received from donors.”
