Sun-Sentinel: A former compliance director at Broward Health claims he was fired after only two months on the job for informing superiors of illegal activities taking place at the public hospital system, which is already facing state and federal investigations.
The hospital system plans to hire a special counsel to investigation his claims.
Mike Pelaez, former chief privacy officer of Jackson Health System in Miami, started working at Broward Health Oct. 19 and soon became aware of “various illegal activities being conducted by Broward Health through its employees,” according to a Feb. 12 letter from Pelaez’s lawyer, Peter F. Valori, to Broward Health.
