Sanford is governed by a Board of Trustees (BOT) that has ultimate strategic and decision
making authority. The BOT delegates certain activities and responsibilities to Boards
of each of Sanford's primary operating subsidiaries. The unique nature and complexity
of the subsidiaries requires each to have a delegated Board with a singular entity
focus. Such bodies, referred to as Boards of Directors and Boards of Governors, address
matters such as credentialing, accreditation standards, developing budgets, programs
and facilities on an entity-specific basis, and generally consist of individuals distinct
from the BOT. These Boards function much like committees in a traditional corporate
structure. The BOT then acts as a holding company Board, synthesizing and reconciling
each entity's programs and budgets into a system-wide strategic plan. This structure
of governance produces a significant number of trustees, governors and directors.
Subsidiaries included within this group tax return consist of Sanford Health, Sanford
North, Sanford Medical Center, Sanford Medical Center Fargo, Sanford Clinic, Sanford
Clinic North, Sanford Health Network, Sanford Health Network North, Sanford Home Health,
Sanford Research, Sanford Research North, Sanford World Clinics, Sanford Health of
Northern Minnesota, Baker Park, Inc., Sanford West, Sanford Bismarck and Sanford Living
Centers. The Board of Trustees of Sanford is also the Board of Trustees for Sanford
Health, Sanford North and Sanford West, and Sanford is the sole corporate member of
these entities. These entities, in turn, are the sole corporate members of the subsidiaries.
The actions approved by a subsidiary's Board of Directors are then approved by the
Sanford Board of Trustees. |

The annual Conflict of Interest disclosure process is managed by the Chief Compliance
Officer (CCO). The CCO is responsible for assuring that all completed forms are returned
in a timely and complete manner. Conflict of Interest questionnaires are sent to System
Trustees, members of the governing boards of subsidiary entities, officers, and key
employees for all entities subject to the IRS Form 990 filings. The disclosures are
summarized for review by the executive committee of the Board of Trustees, pursuant
to policy. This review allows: 1) The Board to acquire an awareness of financial relationships
of board members and key management employees and can invoke the recusal process on
a case-by-case basis if potential conflicts are implicated in Board decisions and
deliberations, and, 2) Gives the Board the opportunity to seek additional information
and clarification about disclosures to determine potential conflicts of interest,
and how to manage them. |
