Rush Oak Park Hospital Controller Allegedly Embezzled $300k

A controller at Rush Oak Park (Ill.) Hospital has been charged with felony theft for allegedly stealing roughly $300,000 from the hospital from February 2006 through September, according to a Chicago Tribune report.

Deborah Wilberding allegedly used a credit card for personal use and was then reimbursed by the hospital for making unspecified purchases with her own money.

The hospital said it was notified of the alleged scheme in August by an unspecified financial institution, and Ms. Wilberding was placed on administrative leave after the hospital began an internal audit. She was fired later in August after the hospital found financial improprieties, according to the report.
