CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- The top executive at Loretto Hospital is expected to be suspended for two weeks without pay as additional punishment for a recent series of bruising revelations that administrators routed scarce COVID-19 vaccine to the well-connected.
President and CEO George Miller’s suspension — reported by CBS Chicago and other outlets Monday — comes in the wake of last week’s resignation of Chief Operating Officer Anosh Ahmed. Ahmed came under scrutiny after employees at Trump Tower, where he reportedly owns a condominium, were vaccinated for coronavirus, ahead of their turns.
Other stories, by Block Club Chicago, said vaccines were shuttled to people at a steakhouse and a jewelry store in the Gold Coast and at Miller’s suburban church.
The city of Chicago’s health department has cut off new vaccine supplies to Loretto, which is a safety-net hospital that serves the Austin neighborhood.
The hospital's board of trustees reprimanded Miller and Ahmed, but negative stories kept surfacing.
