History
editBoulevard was owned by a group of 24 doctors. The hospital lost its payment stream from Medicaid and Medicare [1] and closed.[2] Two years prior they had fired their administrator, who provided authorities with evidence that facilitated investigating alleged improprieties, including "improperly withheld refunds due thousands of patients and used hospital employees for the owners' personal chores."[3]
