County Commissioners Call for Resignation of Oklahoma’s Logan County Medical Center CEO

Two county commissioners supported a resolution seeking the resignation of Logan County Medical Center’s oversight board and CEO, following accusations that the hospital in Edmond, Okla., spent over $10,000 a month in public funds to draft political literature to influence the outcome of a hospital board election, according to an Edmond Sun report.

The non-binding resolution stated hospital CEO Steve Rowley participated in the endeavor to influence the election. The commissioners called the political literature a misuse of public funds.

While county commissioners cannot force hospital officials to resign, they can issue a no confidence vote. According to the report, the hospital would not benefit from having to deal with continuing controversy.
