Pamela Meyer Davis was the president and C.E.O. of Edward Hospital in Naperville, Illinois who was a key witness in the investigation that led to the arrest of the governor of Illinois.
Life[edit]
She began work in about 1989 at Edward Hospital in Naperville, Illinois.[1]
She was leading Edward Hospital in 2004 when the hospital was planning to build a new $90m hospital and a $23m office building in Plainsville.[2] She was threatened by a corrupt financier. She was told that she needed to employ a certain companies or the hospital plans for would be rejected by the state. She realised that this was illegal and she approached the FBI.[3] The FBI were initially dubious at her report of wrongdoing.[4] She told them that Nicholas Hurtgen had made it clear that she needed to employ a named building company and his organisation if she wanted the hospital's plans to proceed.[3]
Her complaints and covert recordings she made led to an investigation that led to the 2008 arrest of Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich.[4]
When she retired after 28 years service in 2017, a day in June was identified in her honor.[1]
