Arizona governor urges new leaders at facility after rape
PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona is looking into whether it can remove the board of directors of a long-term care facility where a nurse is accused of raping an incapacitated woman who later gave birth, the governor said Friday.
In a flurry of tweets, Gov. Doug Ducey called for Hacienda HealthCare's board to be fired.
"My confidence level in that institution and its leadership is zero, and our job now is to ensure that the individuals in their facilities are safe," Ducey wrote on Twitter.
His tweets came a day after The Arizona Republic reported that Hacienda's former CEO had a history of facing sexual misconduct allegations from employees.
