The vice president of corporate services at University Medical Center in Albuquerque has stepped down amid an internal audit that identified possible employee embezzlement, according to an Avalanche-Journal report.
Greg Bruce has held the position since 2005, and his resignation is effective immediately. UMC officials and spokespeople have not offered comment on the audit nor Mr. Bruce's resignation. Mr. Bruce declined comment, telling the Avalanche-Journal he will "let the press speak for itself," according to the report.
