Interesting. About a month ago, I tried with much effort to contact the board of HHC and succeeded. My complaint at the time was the about the Marion County Health Department, and the fact that they seems to be stuck in the 90’s when it comes to technology. I have very little interaction with these guys, but the newest technology they seem to use is a voice mail box. On top of that the website is abysmal.
A few week later the indy Star reports that the Marion County Health and Hospital Corporation owns nursing homes ALL over the state! I did more research and found out the board is appointed by: The Mayors Office, the City County Council, and Marion County Board of Commissioners. I contacted all of these people.
I suspect the dollars that this board controls in the hundreds of millions, if not into the billion range. Plus they get a large chunk of tax payer dollars. These guys need some close scrutiny. The Nursing home “scheme” that led to the scandal is beyond belief. The Marion County Public Health Department looks abysmal and that is the last thing you need in a Pandemic. I am proud we have a good county hospital with Eskenazi, but that might need some careful examination as well.
But, I still have to ask, why does the Marion County Health and Hospital Corporation own nursing homes all over the state!
I am very sorry to see Matt Gutwein leave the Health & Hospital Corp. Like so many others, I had a chance to work with Matt as he led HHC to unparalleled heights. His visionary leadership and down-to-earth, humble approach were among the many special traits he brought to this important position. I remember fondly our meetings where he shared with us his thoughts on how public art and real design should be a part of our public hospital. Indeed, without Matt, there is no Eskenazi Hospital. His care for people is real and inspiring, and his leadership and the team he led has done great things for our city. I, among many who know him, wish him the very, very best and thank him for his many years of service to our community.
Thanks ASC– criminal fraud generating “lakefront real estate, gold bars and jewelry”. Where is the oversight?
Re the Q: Why does HHC own nursing homes all around the state? Answer: For the SPECIFIC purpose of harvesting profit to subsidize indigent health care in the county. This has been a strategy of Health and Hospital Corp since the 1990s — under 4 different mayors.
The idea that someone “discovered” this is ludicrous. Matt did a great job, as did his predecessor.
Exactly!
Ok so the investigation is closed ??
Gutwein’s past/current board history is intriguing.
“Before joining HHC, Gutwein was a partner at Feagre Drinker and adjunct professor of law at the Indiana University Maurer School of Law, in addition to serving as chief counsel to former Gov. Bayh. He has served on the board of directors of Newfields, the Economic Club, the Indiana Hospital Association, the Indiana Health Information Exchange and other organizations. He is a native of Monon, Indiana.”
Note particularly, a board member of the “Economic Club.” Can you just imagine what type of business advice he shared with the membership? Probably started like this: “Want to know how to make a lot of money for your entity/company by scamming the government? Well, here is the playbook. Just remember to send to send my commission to…”
Wondering what his salary and bonus was for each of his years of HHC employment?
And imagine the advice he can give to aspiring attorney’s at IU Law School?
Bloggers, particularly the late Gary Welsh, has been warning about the HHC and its Medicaid “scam” for years.
So the IBJ uses the Star as its source? How about doing your own reporting. If I wanted to know what the Star reported I would have read that site instead.
The Star did an in-depth investigative report.
This implies more resources and planning went into their piece than a newspaper usually puts into its reporting. In order to report on this in a timely manner, they credit the Star instead of doing their own in-depth investigative report (which would be pointless anyway since the Star already broke the story).
This is common practice and efficient.
Can a lawyer be disbarred for doing something unethical?
