"Untracked: San Francisco Health Department's $500K Gift Card Oversight"

Originally Published 1 year ago — by The San Francisco Standard

The San Francisco Department of Public Health failed to track $500,000 in gift cards over three years due to a variety of issues including a cockroach infestation, staff turnover, and lost records, according to a new audit. The audit found that there was little oversight of gift card handling, with failures to track who received the cards and instances of mismanagement. The department has acknowledged the findings and committed to implementing new policies and procedures to ensure proper tracking and management of gift cards in the future.

"Steward's Financial Crisis Sparks Hospital Closures in Massachusetts"

Originally Published 1 year ago — by WCVB Boston

State leaders are preparing for hospital closures as Steward Health Care plans to shut down facilities, including New England Sinai Hospital in Stoughton, Massachusetts. The company has reported a $22 million loss on hospital operations and owes $50 million in unpaid rent. Haverhill's mayor described the situation as potentially resembling a Ponzi scheme, with employees and patients already feeling the impact. While a Steward representative indicated that the hospital will not immediately close, officials are awaiting an official update. Steward employs over 16,000 healthcare workers in the state.
