Last Thursday, the hospital negotiated a mutual separation with its former CEO Stephen Thames, after physicians voiced their concerns about Mr. Thame’s leadership for several weeks. Mr. Thames will work at the hospital until Dr. Ackerman is able to fill the position. However, according to the report, the position could turnover as early as Wednesday.
Dr. Ackerman is a retired pediatrician who currently lives in Costa Rica, according to the report.
