Gov. Dan. McKee declined comment on Daly s letter. And Daly has not yet responded to questions posed to him by The Journal on Wednesday.
But the McKee administratoin announced Thursday night that Suzanne Bornschein had been named Interim Chief Medical Officer at the state hospital. Dr. Bornschein, who specializes in internal medicine, has been working part-time at Eleanor Slater and caring for patients there since April of 2020, the announcement said.
Daly suggested White was placed on leave for reasons that I believe are related to intimidation and retaliation.
