More whistleblowers are coming forward to detail allegations of fraud and financial mismanagement at CW Williams Community Health Center.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - More whistleblowers are coming forward to detail allegations of fraud and financial mismanagement at CW Williams Community Health Center.
WBTV has been investigating the non-profit clinic that serves west Charlotte since October. At the time, federal investigators had recently opened an investigation into the clinic, multiple sources said.
Now, two more former high-ranking employees are speaking to WBTV to detail their experiences working at the clinic. A third former employee has filed a lawsuit making similar allegations.
The new allegations come as scrutiny increases on the clinic beyond federal investigators.
Members of the Mecklenburg County Board of Commissioners have raised questions about a recent vote to award the clinic more than $2 million in federal grant money after former employees pointed to WBTV’s investigation to question the county’s decision.
Commissioner Susan Rodriguez-McDowell told The Charlotte Ledger she had “major concerns.”
“My understanding is that the county manager is taking it very seriously and looking into it,” Rodriguez-McDowell told The Charlotte Ledger.
