Greenwich Hospital CEO Frank Corvinno Reigns Over Fraud, Waste And Abuse

Greenwich Hospital has been under steady decline over the last decade, despite the hospital receiving over 140 million in very generous philanthropic donations in recent years.

CAN THE PHARM BOY STOP THE DECLINE AT GREENWICH HOSPITAL?

Many in Greenwich are starting to wonder if Greenwich Hospital President Frank Corvino's pharmacy administration degree is adequate to properly lead a Yale affilated hospital with 174 patient beds, 32 bassinets, 1,910 employees, and a $324 million operating budget.

As a a 14-year-old stock boy who worked at the corner pharmacy, blocks from his Bronx home Frank Corvino At 16 this teenager from Arthur Avenue was filling prescriptions for the pharmacist.

Mr. Corvino graduated from Fordham’s College of Pharmacy in 1971.

Now the Pharm Boy is in charge of healthcare facility situated on nearly 10 acres,

Greenwich Hospital (along with Yale-New Haven and Bridgeport Hospitals) is in the Yale New Haven Health System.

Greenwich Hospital annually provides over 50,000 patient days of care, and has over 13,000 admissions, and over 43,000 visits to its emergency room.

Greenwich Hospital annually also performs over 14,000 ambulatory and over 9,000 Operating room procedures.

BUT, IS THE PHARM BOY IN OVER IS HEAD?

In an magazine article about Mr. Corvino taking helm of Greenwich Hospital, the following was written:

"In 1988, when Corvino was looking for different challenges, he applied to be GH’s chief operating officer. Once he arrived, though, “I thought, ‘Boy, did I make a mistake.’"

An example of how the Fordham College of Pharmacy graduate is unable to properly manage Greenwich Hospital can be found in the Greenwich Hospital Outpatient Clinic that serves towns poor and mentally disabled patients.

One of the so-called indigent of working class Greenwich Hospital Outpatient Clinic patients is the decades long New York Entrepreneur who owns the Tequila Blue Restaurant And Bar at 139 North Main Street in Port Chester, NY.

Rents for many Port Chester restaurants and bars start at $8,000 per month.

When this Port Chester food and beverage entrepreneur comes to the Greenwich Hospital with her Outpatient Clinic card, she is greeted and hugged by the staff of Dr. Stephen Jones who directs the second floor clinic.

But, Dr. Stephen Jones' front administrative staff is just returning the favor, because when they visit Tequila Blue to eat and drink for free they are warmly greeted and hugged by the owner, who doesn't need to buy healthcare insurance.

Yet long time Greenwich residents who suffer from mental ailments, are unemployed and even homeless are turned away from the Greenwich Hospital Out Patient Clinic.

Dr. Stephen Jones' administrative staff is able to help friends and family members to free healthcare, because they are able to get them Greenwich Hospital Health Clinic membership, by exempting them from providing income tax returns.

Basically, Dr. Stephen Jones'administrative staff only requires a letter from a supposed employer saying the person was paid in cash.

These "I Paid So And So Cash" letters from Port Chester, NY have ran up clinic cost so much that that Greenwich Hospital has had to close the dental clinic and cut layoff clinic psychiatrists and other employees.

But who cares as long as Dr Jones' staff gets wined, dined and pocket lined on Frank Corvino's watch at Greenwich Hospital.

Greenwich Hospital administrators Christine Beechner has said that she is investigating the abuse of the Greenwich Hospital Outpatient clinic by Port Chester restaurant and bar owners who like treat Greenwich Hospital employees to free alcohol and food.
