“The organization follows the conflict of interest disclosure process adopted by its sole member, ccc, which in turn follows the conflict of interest disclosure process administered by its parent, community hospital corporation ('chc'), which requires all officers, directors, key employees, highly compensated employees and other management officials ('covered persons') to disclose potential conflicts. The organization's board formally adopted chc's conflict of interest policy for year ended 6-30-16. Pursuant to the policy, a disclosure statement is circulated annually to covered persons in which the individual must disclose transactions that may result in a conflict. Covered persons are also encouraged to notify the board, appropriate management personnel, chief compliance officer, general counsel or the audit and compliance committee of the governing body as necessary. When necessary, the board chair or appropriate board committee may appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate the potential conflict of interest and recommend alternatives to the applicable transaction or arrangement or otherwise determine if the conflict can be resolved. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under the circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the governing board or committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the best interest of the organization, and whether it is reasonable. The governing board or committee makes the decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement. Any member of the board operating under a conflict is not permitted to be present or otherwise participate in the vote on any matter to which the conflict relates. If the governing board or committee of the organization has reasonable cause to believe that a covered person has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest and after investigation the board or committee determines that the covered person failed to disclose a conflict of interest, the organization takes appropriate disciplinary or corrective action, which may include, termination of the individual's membership, employment or contract.”

“The organization makes its governing documents, financial statements and conflict of interest policy available at its business office upon request.”
