(Cranston, RI) -- The personnel issues of Eleanor Slater Hospital, the state hospital of Rhode Island, are on display this week. In a report released by Governor Dan McKee, the state Health and Human Services Secretary says the current leadership team of the hospital has lost everyone's trust and confidence, including staff and community members. The chief financial officer was put on leave this week and the chief medical officer resigned. The resignation letter of the doctor who resigned was made public on Thursday, in which he described a campaign to deflect blame for problems at the hospital. Plans to downsize Eleanor Slater were paused by McKee earlier this year amid concerns about patient care. The hospital is facing a potential loss of accreditation.
