Sacked Grady CEO sues hospital board for breach of contract
Otis L. Story, the former CEO of Grady Hospital who was abruptly ousted in January as the hospital board prepared to hand over authority to a new, nonprofit corporation, filed a lawsuit Thursday in Fulton County Superior Court accusing the Fulton-DeKalb Hospital Authority of breach of contract. The suit charges board chairwoman and acting Chief Executive Pamela S. Stephenson with engineering his dismissal so she could seize his job.
Story is asking for $1.8 million to cover his contractual salary, a $60,000 retention bonus and unspecified punitive damages.
Stephenson, an attorney and state representative, was named Grady CEO after Story’s firing.
