following a contract extension by the hospital's board of trustees, according to an Ogemaw County Herald report.
Mr. Patullo would have originally left the hospital in May 2011. WBRMC board chairman Daniel Stoneback said the decision to extend his contract comes from the high level of uncertainty surrounding healthcare reform.
