“In mid-2017, Butler Health System discovered evidence of a fraud committed by a single individual against the hospital,” a spokeswoman told the Tribune-Review. “The evidence suggested the hospital’s former COO had been misappropriating administrative funds.”
The health system did not name the former COO allegedly involved in the incident.

The health system recently named Jason Sciarro COO. He replaced Stephanie Roskovski, according to ButlerRadio.com.
