Franklin
County commissioners are calling for a new CEO for Weems Memorial
Hospital in Apalachicola.
The
board on Tuesday voted to demand that Tallahassee Memorial Hospital
remove current CEO Mike Cooper from the job and have his replacement
in place within 30 days.
Mister
Cooper has overseen the hospital since 2014.
TMH
manages the local hospital, and technically Mister Cooper works for
them.
The
board said they are not happy with Mister Cooper's work –
commissioner Cheryl Sanders said “Cooper has been walking a thin
rope for a long time.”
The
board said they were concerned that Mister Cooper has delegated some
of his responsibilities to other staff at the hospital and has not
worked as closely with the county coordinator as they would like.
The
county will end up paying about 75 thousand dollars in severance –
which is 6 months salary.
This
is not the first time the county has voiced its displeasure with the
CEO.
Last
November the gave a vote of no confidence for Mr. Cooper.
The
commission also said they want the new CEO to be an interim CEO –
the county is in the process of looking for new management for the
hospital and said they do not want to have to pay severance for the
next person in the job as they may also not be there very long.
