FORT LEONARD WOOD, Mo. (June 10, 2010) — Regional military officials have relieved Col. Judith Ruiz of her position as commander of General Leonard Wood Army Community Hospital. The decision was made Sunday and publicly announced Thursday by officials of the Army’s Western Regional Medical Command, in response to media inquiries from the Pulaski County Daily News. It’s not clear whether the decision had anything to do with a local uproar that followed a false report issued by post officials and widely circulated via e-mail, community message boards, and family readiness groups that eight local restaurants had failed their health inspections. This isn’t the first time the Fort Leonard Wood’s hospital has come under fire during Ruiz’s tenure. In early 2009, U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill took complaints public and said “problems with the existing (substance abuse) program, including chronic understaffing and mismanagement, were first brought to (her) attention by a whistleblower working at Fort Leonard Wood.”
