LVCHO Board members Stephen Popkin and Roger McConnell serve LVMC in the capacity of CEO and Board member, respectively. In late 2024, Mr. Popkin retired as LVMC CEO, but remained on the LVCHO Board as a community representative. At that time, Yvette Cope, RN replaced Stephen Popkin as CEO of LVMC, and took a position as an LVCHO Board Member. Since LVMC owns the Primary and Specialty Care Clinics, this material business transaction is reportable on the schedule L. The transaction amount listed represents the amount of all payments to LVMC for contract medical services provided at any of their owned facilities during the year. LVCHO and LVMC are reported as related organizations, as they have common agents. When issues regarding providing grants or assistance to the LVMC come before the LVCHO Board, Stephen Popkin (while employed at LVMC), Roger McConnell and Yvette Cope, RN abstain from the vote.

The Corporation shall not be a party to a contract or transaction with another corporation, firm or association in which one or more of its Directors is also a director (an Overlapping Director) unless, (1) prior to entering into the transaction, the material facts of the transaction and the Overlapping Directors other director position are fully disclosed or known to the Board and the Board authorizes, approves or ratifies the contract ortransaction in good faith by a sufficient vote without counting the vote of the Overlapping Director, or (2) the contract or transaction is just and reasonable to the Corporation at the time it is authorized, approved or ratified.
