Last night we told you about the abrupt termination of KHMH Financial Controller Norman Augustine. He had been there for almost three years, and had been involved in the process to make the hospital financially sustainable even if it meant forcing patients to pay for services. But, the contract officer was released this week - and it's surprised both Augustin and the Hospital Staff. There's been suggestion that the sudden release involved some impropriety and he went on the media today to say that's not so:..
Norman Augustine, Former Financial Controller - KHMH
"I will not go into the reasoning or the way the separation did occur. All I can tell you is that at this juncture, its irreconcilable differences and we decided to go our separate ways. My purpose of being here is to highlight that in deed what Dr. Coye has said and mind you, he is a man of great integrity, great heart and I believe that should have been enough for the public to recognize that in deed there is no money missing from the KHMH. The financial health of the institution is in the best it has ever been."

"Are you seeking legal recourse on this matter?"
Norman Augustine, Former Financial Controller - KHMH
"Again, it is not place at this time to discuss any matter as it relates to the separation between myself and the KHMH."
The KHMH promised a statement on this today - but none was released.
