“Sutter health has a centralized tax department responsible for the preparation of the form 990. Annually the tax department provides training and education to affiliate personnel who assist the tax department in collecting and reviewing data to be reported on the form 990. The preparation material is reviewed by various departments including tax, finance, legal, and human resources. A national accounting firm prepares and/or reviews the return. A completed return is then reviewed by the tax department, the affiliate, and the cfo before the return is filed. A copy of the form 990 has been provided to all members of the governing body before filing the form.”

“Employees are educated on the conflict of interest policy and the need to make disclosure as part of annual compliance education. In addition, annually a disclosure statement is completed by all directors and officers that includes an acknowledgement that they have read the conflict of interest policy. On this statement the individual will list a wide range of information which includes business relationships, employment relationships, property interests, and those of related parties. The ceo and board chair will review the statements and monitor situations that may pose a potential conflict of interest. The ceo and board chair may consult with the office of the general counsel as necessary. If there is a potential conflict of interest related to a particular transaction, the interested individual must disclose the existence and nature of the relationship. The board chair may appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate the conflict. Until the potential conflict is resolved, the board chair may request the individual to not participate during related presentations and discussions. In all circumstances involving an actual conflict, the interested individual shall refrain from voting on any matter related to the transaction.”

“The compensation for the position(s) of the top management official is determined through a quantitative point factor review of the know-how, problem solving, and accountably associated with a given position as identified in the detailed position description. Additionally, all applicable market salary survey data is reviewed to ensure the position is both internally equitable and externally competitive / market appropriate.”

“Officers and key employees paid by sutter health, are under the authority of the compensation committee of the sutter health board of directors who retains ultimate discretionary authority over all elements of compensation to assure that organizational purposes are appropriately being served. The compensation committee uses credible data sources and maintains an objective "arms length" decision-making process, ensuring the integrity of sutter's executive programs and consistency with the organization's overall mission. In order to ensure external competitiveness, national, california and local market area compensation data comparisons are reviewed. Competitive analysis includes: (a) base salary, (b) total cash (base salary + annual incentive) and (c) total remuneration (base salary + annual incentive + benefits and long term incentive). This analysis includes comparable organizations and geographic considerations. For the most senior executive positions, national comparisons for organizations similar in size, scope and complexity as sutter health are most appropriate since it is a national marketplace in which sutter competes for executive talent. On the other hand, because california's underlying compensation structure is higher than national data (especially in the bay area), regional pay comparisons and adjustments are made. Officers and key employees of this organization who are sutter health employees undergo a review and compensation committee approval, and such approval is recorded in the minutes.”

“The sutter health system posts its current and past audited financial statements at sutterhealth.org. Other documents are also located at this website including the annual report, mission statement, history and links to affiliate websites. The governing documents are not available to the public at this time.”

“In 2013, delta memorial hospital foundation provided over $63,000 in support to sutter delta medical center for programs and equipment addressing priority health needs in east contra costa county. In continuation of the support of the stereotactic capital equipment purchase of 2008 (to which the foundation contributed over $185,000 toward the purchase), the foundation funded the purchase a stereotactic breast biopsy table ($32,475) for the medical imaging department. During a stereotactic breast biopsy, the patient will lie face down on a moveable exam table and the affected breast will be positioned into the opening in the table. The table is then raised and the procedure is performed beneath it. A number of patients had complained that the existing table was very uncomfortable. The medical imaging department looked into a better table option in order to alleviate discomfort and make an already nervous patient a little more at ease. We were pleased to supply this much needed piece of equipment. The foundation continued its support of the hospital's living well with diabetes community education program with funds exceeding $12,000. Our living well with diabetes classes provide education for those learning how to manage their condition and how to make healthy lifestyle choices which lead to better quality of life. We also continued to support our save a life sister program with nearly $15,000 of funding. Save a life sister provides breast cancer detection services to uninsured and underinsured residents of east contra costa county. This program has contributed to saving the lives of women with breast cancer who may never have gone in for diagnosis if this free service were not available in our community. We are pleased that save a life sister celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2013. Finally, the foundation also supported other programs such as the lee riley memorial fund and women's health with funds exceeding $4,000. Each of these programs were identified as priority needs within our community and the foundation is privileged to support sutter delta medical center and the participants who work hard to educate themselves, learn to make healthy choices, and strive to improve their quality of life. On january 1, 2014, delta memorial hospital foundation merged in alta bates summit foundation, a related 501(c)(3) organization. The 2013 return will be the final return for delta memorial hospital foundation.”
