The former head of a Hamilton hospital network who vacationed in the Dominican Republic over the holidays amid warnings not to travel during the COVID-19 pandemic was fired without cause and is entitled to 24 months of pay, which amounts to more than $1 million.
The board of directors at St. Joseph's Health System confirmed the new details of Dr. Tom Stewart's departure on Monday evening.
Stewart will now have to look for permanent work that can pay what he earned as president and CEO, and only if he finds such work can St. Joe's stop payment, according to his contract, dated Aug. 1, 2018. For some time, he would also continue to receive some employment-related benefits.
