Sfv Health Center Inc

“During the tax year, the organization amended article iv of its bylaws to clarify the board of directors' authority and composition. Section 1 ("general powers") was revised to affirm that no individual, entity, or committee has approval or veto power over the health center board's required authorities and functions, and that collaborations may not restrict those powers. Section 5 ("composition of board") was amended to specify that the health center board independently selects and removes its own members, including the board chair, without external limitations.”

“Elevate health center's outside cpa firm and the ceo prepare the form 990. The form is provided, reviewed, and approved by the ceo and the entire governing body prior to filing with the irs.”

“All officers, directors, and key employees are covered persons under elevate health center's conflict of interest policy. Elevate health center enforces its conflict of interest policy through ongoing education, disclosure requirements, and documented board oversight. Each board member, employee, agent, consultant, and vendor ("interested person") receives a copy of the policy upon association with the organization and must complete an annual conflict of interest disclosure and certification form. Interested persons are also required to disclose any actual or perceived conflicts as they arise. When a potential conflict is identified, it is reported in writing to the chief executive officer or the board chair for review. If the conflict involves a board or committee matter, the interested person provides relevant information but is recused from the discussion and vote. All disclosures and recusals are recorded in the meeting minutes. The organization ensures compliance through board and management review, adherence to procurement standards, and consistent application of disciplinary measures for violations, which may include reprimand, reassignment, or removal. This process, along with annual certifications, ensures that personal, professional, or financial interests do not interfere with the organization's mission or operations.”

“The board of directors has a policy for reviewing and approving the compensation package of the chief executive officer on a regular basis to determine it is fair and reasonable with the goal of retaining employees at compensation levels within appropriate market range. The policy provides that the review and approval of the compensation arrangement will be conducted, in advance, by independent and impartial members of the board (or a committee of the board). The board reviews comparable compensation data for comparable services, comparable enterprises (by budget, revenues, number of employees, persons served, and mission), comparable circumstances (geographic location and economic conditions/cost of living), and other factors such as whether the person manages multiple functions or departments, the employee's duties and past performance history, and the employee's background, skills, education, and experience. The board may also review current compensation surveys compiled by independent firms and consider recent written offers from similar organizations competing for the covered individual's services. The documentation of the board includes the terms of the transaction and the date of approval, the members who were present during the debate and vote on the transaction, a description of the comparability data and how it was obtained and relied upon including the recommendations received from third-party consultants, and documentation of the basis for the determination.”

“Governing documents, the conflict-ofinterest policy, and financial statements are available to the public upon request. However, current tax law does not require these documents be provided to the public.”
