Briefly describe the organization's mission. Since it was founded in 1872 by Catholic sisters, SSM Health (SSMH) has existed to meet the health needs of the communities it serves. SSMH is a Catholic, not-for-profit health system serving the comprehensive health needs of communities across the Midwest through one of the largest integrated delivery systems in the nation. With care delivery sites in Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin, SSMH includes 19 acute care hospitals, one children's hospital, more than 60 outpatient care sites, a pharmacy benefit company, an insurance company, two long-term care facilities, comprehensive home care and hospice services, a technology company, and two Accountable Care Organizations. The health system employs more than 31,000 people and is affiliated with more than 8,500 physicians making it one of the largest employers in every community it serves. SSMH is sponsored by SSM Health Ministries, an independent 6- member body comprised of three Franciscan Sisters of Mary and three lay people who collectively hold certain reserved powers over SSMH. In the tradition of its founding sisters, SSMH strives to fulfill its mission by providing exceptional health care to everyone who comes to its hospitals, regardless of their ability to pay. Founded in 2011, the St. Mary's Janesville Foundation exists to support the health care needs of the community it serves in rock County, Wisconsin. The St Mary's Janesville Foundation engages with the local community to raise funds to support the healing mission of St. Mary's Janesville Hospital. Through gifts to the Foundation, donors support programs, services and capital projects that enhance not only patient care, but the health and well-being of our community. In 2015, the St. Mary's Janesville Foundation specifically raised funds for the following projects: Provided five scholarships to deserving employees of the Dean Clinic Janesville East and St. Mary's Janesville Hospital. We added a new named scholarship in honor of Dr. William N. Brandt in addition to the Sister Mary Jean Ryan Scholarship. Provided funds for small capital projects and programming of the Radiation Oncology program which will open in August of 2016. Continued improving the hospital healing garden by providing Trees and shrubs. Provided funding for the Fit Families Rock program which helps participants develop the positive attitudes and routines that lead to lasting weight loss and improved all-around fitness. Unrestricted gifts were used for small projects, including our Employee Emergency Fund, operated in tandem with the Mission Awareness Team. Grants were also made to small grass roots community groups who fall under our mission and values.

Board members are required to complete a conflict of interest disclosure statement annually. The President and Secretary of the Board oversee compliance with this requirement. All Board members with an identified conflict of interest abstain from Board discussions and votes when applicable. Employees with purchasing authority and/or ability to influence purchasing decisions are assigned the conflict of interest disclosure course (COI) which must be completed on line. Periodically through the year, the entity's corporate responsibility contact person (with the help of the entity's learning management system coordinator) sends department managers a list of employees who have not yet completed their COI so they can remind the employees and ensure the employees have time in their schedule to complete the required course. Resolution of any conflicts that are disclosed must be documented and kept on file at the entity. Supervisors verify required course completion prior to year end. |
