Ex-AHS Capital Health VP expensed thousands for dinners, booze, charity balls
Former Capital Health vice-president Michele Lahey - for whom opposition Wildrose revealed last week had claimed expenses of $7,000 for a second medical opinion on her Cancer diagnosis at renown U.S healthcare Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN - also billed over $10,000 for Charity Events*.
Documents released by the Wildrose opposition show former Capital Health vice-president Michele Lahey expensed $4,300 for the Nov. 5, 2005, St. Joseph’s Annual Gala Fundraiser, which Lahey described as a “heavenly evening of dining” on her expense form.
She expensed $3,000 for St. Joseph’s College Gala, $1,200 to the Hope Foundation of Alberta and $1,700 to host the Friar’s Ball on May 6, 2006, advertised as “one of the top social events of the year.”
All the donations were made between 2005 and 2007 by Lahey’s husband, former provincial Crown prosecutor Bill Gatward. Lahey expensed the donations to Capital Health and they were approved by health authority CEO Sheila Weatherill.In addition this healthcare bureaucrat took a course that would allow her to examine her family roots in order to:
"give[s] you emotional tools to allow you to have the choice to let go of many limiting belief systems so that you can enjoy the banquet of life instead of just settling for the crumbs,”
