Broward Health Rattled By Corruption Probes, May Seek A New Way To Govern Itself

Broward Health corruption probe

“What a colossal mess!”

That’s the opening salvo from the Miami-Dade County Grand Jury’s August 2010 report on ailing Jackson Memorial Hospital.

The same could be said today of Broward Health.

Six years ago Jackson was plagued by financial mismanagement and deficits so large that it teetered near bankruptcy. Tax-assisted Broward Health’s problem isn’t a lack of money; it has more than $700 million in reserves. Broward Health’s problem is corruption.

Faith Based Events

Broward Health was rattled by last week’s news of investigations by both the FBI and the state chief inspector general. And while North Broward’s public hospital network has never faced a state or county grand jury’s scrutiny, some at the district and elsewhere are wondering whether it is time to find a better way for the $1.8-billion enterprise to govern itself, free of political influence and control.
