Ralph de la Torre has stepped down as CEO of Steward Health Care following scrutiny from Congress regarding the company's bankruptcy and his failure to testify before a Senate panel.
Despite his departure, a spokesperson stated that de la Torre will remain an advocate for improving reimbursement rates for underprivileged patient populations.
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders criticized de la Torre's actions, stating Congress will hold him accountable for the negative impacts on hospitals and patients across the country.
De la Torre's resignation, effective Oct. 1, comes after the Senate issued a resolution aimed at holding him in criminal contempt for his noncompliance.
