UVA Health CEO resigns from position
Posted

CHARLOTTESVILLE, , Va. β€” The CEO of UVA Health Dr. Craig Kent has resigned from the University of Virginia after a special meeting Tuesday with the Board of Visitors.

During that meeting, the Board was briefed on findings of an investigation into UVA Health, which began after over 100 doctors sent a letter of no confidence regarding Kent to UVA officials.

The letter claims Kent and the dean of the medicine medical school, Dr. Melina R. Kibbe, fostered a "negative environment."

The letter also said Kent ignored reports of fraudulent billing and retaliated against doctors who spoke up. Kent offered to step down following that meeting.
