“Form 990 reviewed and approved by the board of directors prior to filing.”

“Board members are asked annually to review and disclose any possible conflicts of interest. There is also a strong culture among the staff to self-police for conflicts and to ask questions if something could appear questionable. If an issue does come up for staff, the executive director reviews the situation to see if any accommodations need to be made. If it is a significant issue, it will also go to the executive committee of the board for review. The executive committee also reviews all conflicts of interest issues brought up by the individual board members.”

“The board of directors reviews and determines the compensation of the executive director. Comparibility data from the king county nonprofit sector are used to help set compensation. Deliberation and decision processes are documented through email correspondence between board of directors, executive director and agency accountant.”

“Viral hepatitis education, testing, linkage to care, and correctional health: hep provides education to clients, providers, and organizations, free hepatitis c and b testing, linkage to care, and free hepatitis a/b vaccination. During the 2020 pandemic, hep continued to provide limited services outside our office building for participants. Tested 659 people for hepatitis c and 86 people for hepatitis b, administered 96 doses of hepatitis a/b vaccine, administered 15 monovalent hepatitis a vaccine, and had over 1,081 encounters with hep's medical case management. Hep also facilitates classes on hepatitis, bloodborne pathogens, and harm reduction for prisons and jails throughout washington state. In 2020, hep's correctional health program reimagined their structure to address in-person class suspension in all correctional facilities due to the pandemic. All educational materials were transitioned to mail-in correspondence coursework for remote delivery with no service interruption. Educational materials were distributed to 1,708 incarcerated persons living in wa state prisons.”
