The University of Maryland Medical System's chief executive resigned one day after federal agents searched Baltimore City Hall and the mayor's home
By Rachel Chason Rachel Chason Reporter covering local politics Email Bio Follow April 26 at 3:23 PM The president and chief executive of the University of Maryland Medical System resigned Friday, one day after federal agents searched Baltimore City Hall and Mayor Catherine E. Pugh’s home in a highly visible indication of a federal criminal case over lucrative book deals Pugh made with private businesses, including UMMS.
Mike Ricci, a spokesman for Gov. Larry Hogan , said the medical system “has a lot of work to do to restore trust, but this is a step in the right direction. The governor believes very strongly that with a change in leadership must come a change in culture, meaning real accountability and transparency.”
Pugh resigned from the UMMS board and has taken an indefinite leave of absence from the mayor’s office. She has apologized for the deals, and her lawyer said Thursday that the many calls for her resignation have “not fallen on deaf ears.” Pugh was among nine UMMS board members who had contracts with the system, which were worth millions of dollars in some cases. They have all taken leaves of absence from the board.
