The document is a memo from Theodore G. Lucas, Vice President of Logistics & Distribution at Jackson Health System in Florida, dated November 18, 2005. The memo announces a new "No Gift" policy that will be effective from November 21, 2005, for all personnel employed in the Division of Logistics & Distribution. The purpose of the policy is to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest and to demonstrate the division's commitment to impartiality, equal treatment, and high standards of conduct in relation to vendors and potential vendors of the Public Health Trust/Jackson Memorial Hospital. The policy states that no gifts of any kind, regardless of value, shall be accepted by the vice president, managers, supervisors, and staff from any vendor or individual acting on behalf of a vendor. The term "gift" includes items such as pens, calendars, hats, bags, food, beverages, and vendor-sponsored meals or parties. Greeting cards are allowed. The term "vendor" refers to any business or commercial enterprise that currently has a contractual relationship with PHT/JMH or may seek or be interested in obtaining a contractual relationship. Vendors are to be informed of the policy and asked not to deliver or deposit any gifts. Any gifts received should be returned to the giver if feasible, or delivered to the office of the Executive Assistant to the Vice President for donation to a non-profit institution. The policy is supplemental to other "gift," "ethical," and "standards of conduct" legislation, ordinances, and policies of the State, County, and PHT. The memo emphasizes the importance of the policy and the role of the Division of Logistics & Distribution in materials management and procurement. The unions have been informed, and the policy will be widely distributed to vendors and potential vendors. Employees are encouraged to seek clarification or ask questions to Theodore G. Lucas or Rosa Costanzo. The memo concludes with respect and appreciation for the work done by the employees.
