Former MetroHealth CEO Dr. Akram Boutros refiles lawsuit against hospital over bonus dispute.

Former MetroHealth CEO Dr. Akram Boutros has refiled a lawsuit against the hospital, alleging breach of contract and defamation. Boutros was fired in 2022 over accusations of improperly authorizing $1.9 million in bonuses without board approval. His successor, Airica Steed, has added new allegations that the hospital may have concealed the bonus authorizations. A state auditor's report found Boutros not criminally liable and highlighted ineffective board oversight. Boutros has repaid the bonus amount plus interest.
