The former chief operating officer of Rush Oak Park Hospital is accused in a federal indictment of stealing more than $600,000 from the medical facility.
Robert Spadoni, 58, set up a company that got a contract from the hospital for podiatry services, but the U.S. attorney’s office said no services were provided and Spadoni and a family member used most of the money “for their own personal benefit and the personal benefit of others.” The scheme began around December of 2013 when Spadoni created a company called Medical Education Solutions, according to the indictment. It got a contract with Rush “to provide administrative support and compliance services to the hospital’s podiatry residency program,” the U.S. attorney’s office said.
In return, the company was paid $6,500 a month. But only $1,500 of that was actually used for services under the contract, the indictment alleges.In addition to the fraud, the U.S. attorney’s office said Spadoni violated a hospital policy prohibiting employees and their relatives from having a financial interest in a company or organization seeking business with the hospital.Rush released a statement saying Spadoni was removed “as soon as the misappropriation was identified.
