A new investigative report revealed that Jackson Health System wasted money by paying a Chicago consulting firm $1.8 Million, including money for three apartments in downtown Miami and four of the firm's employees hidden on Jackson's payroll.
To authorize the payment of $31,568.74 for Capitol expenses, a Jackson Executive accessed Roldan Eneida, the Chief Executive’s e-mail account.
In his defense, Roldan Eneida, the Chief Executive said, ``I believe it was in the first week after I took over. And that employee was dismissed the first day”.
The report, by JM Advisory Group, recommended that appropriate authorities should conduct a legal review of the procurement policies of the Public Health Trust, which governs Jackson. It also identified the broader issues that the Trust needed to address in order to protect the integrity of the organization.
It is learnt that Former Bank President Angel Medina, who had been a member of Jackson Memorial Hospital's governing board for the past five years, might become the hospital's new Chief Financial Officer.
The 51-year-old Medina had expressed his frustration in an interview, earlier by stating that he was saddened by not being able to get good information while he served on the board.
