“Each individual who is a director of the board of the Fremont-Rideout Health Group shall automatically be a director of United Com-Serve, and shall serve as a director of United Com-Serve until such time as that person is no longer a director of the Fremont-Rideout Health Group.”

“The Fremont-Rideout Health Group shall exercise its membership rights through its Board of Directors, which may, by resolution, authorize one or more of its officers to exercise its vote on any matter to come before the membership of United Com-Serve.

“During the first quarter of each year, the annual conflict of interest questionnaire is sent to board members, corporate officers, key employees, and department directors for completion and signature. The questionnaire is accompanied by a letter of explanation to illustrate examples of a conflict and remind the recipient that if any perceived conflict should arise before the next annual questionnaire, he/she is to notify the CEO immediately. The statements are reviewed by the internal audit staff as part of the annual financial statement audit. For potential conflicts, the CEO or a designee will determine and present all relevant facts to the governing body prior to the decision. After addressing any questions asked by the governing body, the responsible person must leave the meeting during the discussion of the matter that involves a conflict and during any vote on the matter.”

“The organization does not make its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, or financial statements available to the public.”
