The board of MediSys Health Network, parent company to four New York hospitals, has fired CEO David Rosen as he faces bribery charges in a federal corruption case, according to a New York Times report.
Mr. Rosen has been replaced with his second-in-command, Bruce J. Flanz. Mr. Rosen was one of eight charged by federal authorities last week for participation in bribery schemes.
The government alleges that New York Senator Carl Kruger accepted approximately $1 million in bribes from Mr. Rosen and others since 2006. In exchange, Mr. Rosen allegedly received favorable treatment towards his healthcare organization from state officials.
Mr. Rosen’s lawyer says his client maintains his innocence, according to the report.
