Good point made by Supervisor Yaroslavsky....toughest job in the county...and who will want to take the position next? With all the funding cuts, how do you make it work...BD
Los Angeles County's profoundly troubled public healthcare system fell into further crisis Thursday when its embattled director abruptly quit, and negotiations with a private entity to reopen King-Harbor hospital fell apart.
Dr. Bruce A. Chernof, whose relationship with the Board of Supervisors had grown acrimonious, told officials his exit was unrelated to the failed negotiations over Martin Luther King Jr.-Harbor Hospital."Look, there is never a good time to lose a health director," said Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky, "and this is as bad as any. I think it's the toughest job in the county without a doubt -- perhaps the most difficult job in public service in California -- because he is asked to run a department that is constantly in the red. It has a lot of problems."
