County supervisors overseeing Bakersfield, Calif.-based Kern Medical Center has terminated the contract of the hospital's CEO Paul Hensler, according to a Bakersfield Californian report.
The hospital is owned and operated by the County of Kern. The decision to terminate Mr. Hensler's contract was taken after a Sept. 9 meeting during which county supervisors learned that the hospital has over-budgeted by about $1.6 million a month for the current fiscal year, according to the report. County supervisors also learned that a review of the hospital's receivables from various programs going back to fiscal year 2006 came up about $64 million short of projections. Revenues were also overstated in the current year's fiscal budget, supervisors found.
Kern County supervisors have not yet decided who will replace Mr. Hensler, according to the report.
