The former Kaiser Permanente executive played a pivotal role in the founding and development of CalOptima, the county’s health plan for low income residents. He died July 14 after a prolonged illness at the age of 82.
Supervisor says the former CEO and COO purposely wooed away other top employees to hurt CalOptima. COO denies doing anything of the sort.
When CEO Richard Chambers announced his resignation this month, he became the sixth top executive to leave Orange County’s $1.4-billion healthcare provider in less than a year.
A detailed examination of the $1.3-billion county health care
provider was recommended to the CalOptima board in a confidential
report.
