More execs out at DeKalb Medical (GA); hospital disputes fraud rumors

In addition to the CEO, DeKalb Medical Center has also lost its chief financial officer and chief operating officer in recent weeks, a hospital spokeswoman confirmed Monday. Last week, the hospital group acknowledged CEO John A. Shelton's resignation and that about 60 workers had been laid off. The medical group, which runs three hospitals in the Decatur and Lithonia areas, also did away with 80 vacant positions.
