Dignity Community Care

“The organization has adopted dignity health's conflicts of interest policy (the "coi policy"). Under such policy, the evp/chief compliance officer is responsible for collecting, reviewing and validating annual disclosures of all covered persons including the members of dignity community care's governing bodies, including its board of directors and board committees, as well as dignity community care's officers and executive leaders, key employees, management personnel at the vice president level and above, and any other personnel designated by the filing officer ("covered persons"). All covered persons are required to disclose actual or potential conflicts arising from the business, ownership, financial and personal interests held by such covered persons or their family members. Covered persons are required to disclose to their supervisors and to relevant decision makers any interest that may present a conflict of interest, or the appearance of a conflict of interest. Such disclosure is required on a transactional basis at the time such conflicts arise, when an individual becomes a covered person (e.g. Upon hiring or upon promotion), and annually thereafter. As part of the annual disclosure survey conducted pursuant to the coi policies, each covered person is required to certify that he/she: (1) has received a copy of the coi policy or coi policies applicable to his/her position; (2) has read the coi policy and understands said policy; and (3) agrees to comply with all requirements of the coi policy, including completing the conflicts of interest disclosure survey as required by the coi policies. Using the information from the annual disclosure survey, the filing officer prepares annual reports of reported conflicts of interest and distributes those reports to the governing body chairs, including the chair of the board of directors and the chair of dignity community care board committees, as well as to key leaders of the organization to enable the responsible individuals to monitor and manage disclosed conflicts of interest and assure decisions are made in the organization's best interests. The procedures for addressing a conflict of interest related to a proposed transaction in the case of governing bodies include, but are not limited to: (1) the actual or potential conflict of interest is fully disclosed to the applicable governing body and any other relevant decision-makers; (2) the interested person responds to factual questions related to the substance of the transaction or arrangement being considered, after which he/she shall leave the meeting; (3) the interested person may be excluded from the discussion and must be excused from the meeting prior to and during the approval of such transaction; (4) if warranted, alternatives to the proposed transaction are investigated, and competitive bids or comparable valuations are obtained; (5) the transaction or action is approved by a majority of disinterested members of the governing bodies, consistent with any requirements of bylaws and coi policies; and (6) any conflicting issues arising during the course of a governing body meeting which cannot be resolved may be referred to an independent committee of the applicable governing body. There are similar conflicts of interest provisions under dignity community care's standards of conduct, which are applicable to all employees and which are administered by the evp/chief compliance officer who has reporting responsibility to the president/ceo as well as to the finance and compliance committee of the board of directors. Form 990, part vi, section b, line 15a & 15b the dignity health board of directors appoints a human resources and compensation committee, comprised exclusively of independent directors, who are accountable for reviewing compensation packages for each officer and certain key employees (including the president/ceo) of dignity community care.
