“The sole member of each organization has authorities as specifically enumerated in each organization's corporate by-laws. These authorities vary widely between each organization. A few examples of the type of authorities granted by many, but not necessarily all, corporate by-laws include: - appoint a firm of public accountants annually to conduct an independent audit of the corporation's financial affairs during the fiscal year last ended; - review and approve all proposed capital and operating budgets of the corporation and all proposed transactions by the corporation which involve an expenditure in excess of $2,000,000, when such expenditure has not been included in a budget previously approved by the member; - review and approve each transaction proposed by the corporation which would involve the corporation incurring debt through lender financing; - the member may adopt, amend or repeal any bylaw, including any bylaws adopted by the trustees. - the member may elect the officers and trustees of the corporation. - the member or the trustees, each by majority vote of their number then in office, may suspend or remove for cause any trustee. - the member shall enact, and from time to time may amend a code of conduct and a policy on conflicts of interest. Pursuant to the laws of massachusetts, the authority for the following actions is reserved to the member of the organization: a. Amend or restate the articles of organization b. Consolidation or merger c. Sale, lease, exchange or disposition of all or substantially all of the organizations property or assets.”

“Form 990 review the form 990 was prepared and reviewed by the mass general brigham tax department. Certain key sections were also reviewed by the mass general brigham cfo and treasurer; and by the mass general brigham chief legal officer. The cfo and treasurer reviewed and signed the form 990. The process for preparing and reviewing form 990 was discussed at the may 2025 meeting of the audit and compliance committee of the mass general brigham board of directors. The compensation disclosures were provided to the mass general brigham compensation committee which met in august 2025. The final filing version of the form 990 was provided to certain voting board members prior to filing.”

“For purposes of its annual tax filing, mass general brigham has an annual questionnaire process for obtaining information on interests that may give rise to conflicts from all officers, directors, trustees and key employees. In addition, in connection with mass general brigham's conflict of interest policy, the mass general brigham office for interactions with industry and the office of the general counsel work together to periodically distribute, collect and review disclosure statements from these individuals. The information on each such disclosure is reviewed by each individual's supervisor (who in the case of directors and trustees is deemed to consist of the chairman of the board and the entity's president/ceo, who review the disclosures with the assistance of the general counsel or attorney representatives of her office). In addition, under the mass general brigham's conflict of interest policy, any time an officer, director, trustee, or key employee is aware of a transaction in which his/her interest may create a conflict, he/she is required to provide full disclosure of the interest, and may not be involved in the institutional decision-making about the transaction. In addition, with respect to such transactions, in appropriate circumstances, (i) the corporation must consider at least two alternative disinterested competitive proposals; or must determine that two such competitive proposals do not exist or that it would be impractical to elicit or consider such competitive proposals; and (ii) the corporation must determine that, notwithstanding the apparent conflict, the transaction is fair and reasonable to the corporation and is in the best interests of the corporation. A written record must be made of these determinations. Furthermore, transactions that present particularly significant conflicts are reviewed by an independent committee of the mass general brigham board for appropriate action, which review is also documented. As institutions are added to the mass general brigham incorporated and affiliates group return there is a transition period.”

“Process for determining compensation the organization has a board level compensation committee that reviews and approves the compensation for certain officers and key employees. The committee is comprised of members of the board who are not employed by the organization, and no member may participate in the review and approval of compensation if the member has a conflict of interest with respect to that compensation arrangement. The committee relies on data, provided by an independent compensation consultant, which includes comparable compensation for similarly qualified persons, in functionally comparable positions, at similarly situated organizations. The deliberations and decisions of the committee are documented in minutes of the meeting. This review process occurs at least on an annual basis.”

“The organization's governing documents are filed with the massachusetts secretary of state and the financial statements are filed with the massachusetts attorney general, all of which are open to public inspection. The organization's conflict of interest policy is available on the organization's website.”

“Patient care: mass general brigham operates academic medical centers, community acute care hospitals, facilities that provide both inpatient and outpatient mental health services, urgent care centers, rehabilitation medicine and long-term care services, physician organizations, a home health agency, nursing homes and a graduate level program for health professions. In addition, mass general brigham is a nonuniversity-based non-profit private medical research enterprise and is a principal teaching affiliate of the medical and dental schools of harvard university. For many years, mass general brigham has invested in the development and implementation of multiple system-wide initiatives that have improved patient care quality and outcomes and have managed the growth in the cost of patient care. Nevertheless, the upward pressure on healthcare costs has continued both nationally and locally, and government and commercial payers have responded in a number of ways, including efforts to control provider rate increases, the expanded use of alternative payment models, such as accountable care organizations (acos), tighter referral management and price transparency initiatives. To address the financial and operational challenges that will result from these market conditions, mass general brigham has reaffirmed a system-wide strategy that is grounded in the excellence of its academic medical centers, focused on improved patient outcomes, patient experience and global health impact, supported by its historical and planned investments in digital health and data analytics, population health, ambulatory care and insurance risk management and symbolized by its recently adopted single, integrated system brand "mass general brigham." this strategy has the following five synergistic priorities: 1. Enhance regional and national recognition of bwh and the general as the "go to" destinations for key clinical services by developing cross-academic, multidisciplinary, next-generation centers of excellence. 2. Develop new opportunities for national and international business development through expanded system-wide efforts to attract patients to bwh and the general and to provide remote diagnostics, remote care delivery and advisory services. 3. Substantially increase innovations in diagnostics, therapeutics, devices and data analytics that are brought to market by expanding commercialization investments and infrastructure. 4. Lead in building and implementing a new value-based care operating model for primary, secondary and behavioral health care that delivers value for price, improves patient access and outcomes and grows clinical volume and attributed lives by optimizing the use of mass general brigham community assets and leveraging its expertise in population health management and ability to design insurance products; and 5. Expand the impact of mass general brigham on leading community health issues by taking a multi-pronged approach to advance health equity and address social determinants of health in targeted communities. The mass general brigham acute care sector includes two of the most well respected academic medical centers in the united states, bwh and the general, as well as meei, and seven acute care community hospitals: cdh, bwfh, mvh, nch, nwh, nsmc and wdh. Together these (without wdh which is located in nh) form the largest acute care delivery system in eastern massachusetts. Bwh and the general are renowned for their excellence in patient care, innovative and far-reaching research efforts and educational programs. Bwh and the general serve both as community hospitals for portions of metropolitan boston and as providers of tertiary and quaternary services, primarily to eastern massachusetts and adjacent portions of contiguous states, but also to the remainder of massachusetts, new england, other parts of the united states and other nations. Since a significant part of the primary service areas of bwh and the general do not overlap, bo”

“Meei meei specializes in diseases and conditions of the eyes, ears, nose, throat, head and neck. World-renowned for care, research and teaching in these areas of expertise, meei physicians and scientists are also driven by a mission to find cures for blindness and deafness.

“Psychiatric care sector in addition to the 181 licensed psychiatric beds located within its acute care hospitals, mass general brigham operates mclean, a freestanding tertiary psychiatric referral and research hospital licensed for 392 beds located in belmont, massachusetts. Mclean provides a continuum of inpatient, acute and long-term residential, partial hospitalization and treatment-specific outpatient services to children, adolescents, adults and geriatric patients. It also has two specialized schools for children and adolescents that offer a range of therapeutic services. It is the largest psychiatric teaching affiliate of harvard medical school. In the 2024-25 u.s. News & world report, mclean ranked #1 in the nation for psychiatry. Mclean benefits from a wide array of clinical and hospital referral sources and attracts patients requiring complex treatment both from the greater eastern massachusetts region and, to a degree, nationally and internationally. For each of the last 26 years, mclean has received more national institutes of health (nih) research funding than any private psychiatric hospital in the country. Mclean's research focus is on basic benchtop, preclinical, translational and clinical neuroscience. All of mclean's active staff of 220 physicians and psychologists hold harvard medical school appointments. Mclean, in conjunction with the general, operates training programs for residents and others in all fields of psychiatry and for students and fellows in psychology, substance abuse treatment and neurology. Mclean offers a number of clinical programs, both on and off campus. These include, but are not limited to, satellite programs at nine sites in the greater eastern massachusetts region and one in maine that offer one or more of inpatient, residential, partial hospital, substance abuse treatment and intensive evaluation and diagnostic services for patients of all ages. Mass general brigham provides emergency and other care to patients regardless of their ability to pay. The cost of providing that care is reflected in the statements of operations. Services provided to charity care patients, for which acute care hospitals receive reimbursement through the statewide health safety net trust fund (hsn), and to patients covered under the medicare and medicaid programs generate costs for which mass general brigham is not fully reimbursed. For charity care, medicaid and medicare, the total estimated cost of services provided by mass general brigham exceeded the net reimbursement received under these programs by $2,538,618,000 in fy 2024. The estimated cost of services provided is either obtained directly from a costing system or is based on an entity specific ratio of cost to gross charges. In the latter case, cost is derived by applying this ratio to gross charges associated with providing care to charity care, medicaid, and medicare patients.”

“Research: the conduct of biomedical research constitutes one of the core missions and activities of mass general brigham. It includes fundamental bench research in all of the life sciences disciplines, patient-centered research within the inpatient and outpatient services of mass general brigham hospitals, clinical trials of new drugs and devices, as well as health services and epidemiological research. Mass general brigham has the largest non-university-based, non-profit private medical research enterprise in the united states. However, each mass general brigham organization with major research operations the general, bwh, spaulding boston, meei and mclean act as separate research grant recipients. The importance of research and innovation cannot be overstated. The founding hospitals of mass general brigham have a long tradition of medical breakthroughs, from the first use of ether for surgery at massachusetts general hospital to the first successful organ transplant at brigham and women's hospital. Virtually every treatment, test, drug, or medical device in use today is the result of successful research from the past. The mass general brigham research enterprise covers the spectrum from basic science to translational and clinical investigation. This research is primarily funded by the national institutes of health (nih); brigham and women's hospital and massachusetts general hospital continue to top the list of independent hospitals recipients of nih funding n the country. Mclean hospital ranks as a top recipient among private psychiatric hospitals. Scientists from a spectrum of disciplines also collaborate with disease foundations and industry to advance our knowledge and help translate our discoveries into patient care as soon as possible. Mass general brigham supports various research programs to facilitate the translation of medical advances to its patients. Mass general brigham personalized medicine (mgbpm) was established in 2001 to realize the promise of genetics and genomics in research and in medical practice. One of the goals of mgbpm is to help ensure that the knowledge gained from genetics and genomics becomes an integral part of diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of disease (including the determination of the appropriate drugs) for individual patients served by the mass general brigham organizations. Under the oversight of mgbpm, mass general brigham established a biobank a repository of consented patient samples linked to the electronic medical record and supplemented with health information/family history from surveys. As of september 30, 2024, over 160,000 consented patients are enrolled. Biobank data and samples are used in research to better understand, prevent, and treat many different diseases. Since inception, the biobank has supported over $300 million in funded research studies. For example, the biobank enabled mass general brigham to be awarded two grants totaling $13.6 million as part of the nih electronic medical records and genomics network (emerge). The primary goal of the emerge network is to develop, disseminate and apply approaches to research that combine dna biorepositories with the electronic medical record system for large-scale, high-throughput genetic research. Mass general brigham is able to leverage its investment in ecare (an integrated, electronic health and administrative information system) and the biobank to identify rare and common gene variants and examine how those variants relate to disease risks and treatment effects. On a national scale, mass general brigham was involved in formulating the precision medicine initiative a national research effort established in 2015 to revolutionize health care and the treatment of disease. The initiative aims to give medical professionals the resources they need to target specific treatments for illnesses and further develop scientific and medical research, taking into account individual differences in people's genes, environments and lifesty”
