While outside legal council determined Mr. Levy did not violate hospital policy, Board Chairman Stephen Kay said in a statement that “over time the situation created an improper appearance and became a distraction within the hospital.”
The board also voted to take the incident into account when determining Mr. Levy’s compensation for 2011. Mr. Kay’s statement did not suggest that it would replace Mr. Levy, stating, “the board again expressed its full support and confidence in his continued leadership, and considers this matter closed.”
