(SSHS) is part of a health care system that includes South Shore Hospital, the specified supported organization, and other affiliates, all listed in Part II of Schedule R. SSHS provides support to all system affiliates in addition to South Shore Hospital, all of which are recognized as 501(c)(3) organizations that are not private foundations, and are operated, supervised or controlled directly by or in connection with South Shore Hospital. Schedule A, Part IV, Section D, Line 1 South Shore Health System (SSHS), formerly known as South Shore Health & Educational Corporation, changed its type of organization from Type I to Type III Functionally Integrated. This change was based on a review of the by-laws of the Corporation and its affiliates, and in consideration for how these corporations function now, and in recognition of SSHS's future as the head of a health system of corporations all supporting the charitable mission of South Shore Hospital. Type III Functionally Integrated supporting organizations have an obligation to provide annual notification of support to the supporting organization by the last day of the 5th month of its tax year. We believe SSHS met the criteria for notification of support to the supported organization, SSH. The corporations share officers, Richard Aubut; CEO, Joseph Cahill, President and Treasurers Michael Cullen (through 1/8/15) and Pamela Whelton (after 1/8/15), who are aware of, and often direct, the operations of both corporations. Messrs. Aubut, Cahill, and Cullen and Ms. Whelton routinely received copies of SSHS reports, which detailed the various management and supervisory activities of SSHS in support of the Hospital and its affiliates. The officers are provided with copies of Form 990 annually wherein the type and amount of support to the supported organization is documented. There were no changes in the Corporation's organizational documents during the reporting period. Schedule A, Part IV, Section D, Line 3 Officers of the supported organization also serve as officers of South Shore Health System (SSHS) and routinely attend board meetings of SSHS, at which they are able to make statements and proposals in connection with the conduct of SSHS's activities and the support of the supported organization.
