Feds charge former Edgewater Medical Center chief with obstruction

The former owner of the bankrupt Edgewater Medical Center has been charged with trying to obstruct the government's efforts to collect $64 million in civil penalties he owes related to his involvement in a healthcare fraud scheme that federal attorneys say led to the North Side hospital's collapse. If convicted, Peter Rogan could face 10 years in prison and a maximum fine of $250,000, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
