HALIFAX — The top executive of Atlantic Canada’s biggest children’s hospital has stepped down amid an expenses controversy.
Tracy Kitch, chief executive officer of Halifax’s IWK Health Centre, quit Wednesday for personal reasons, the chairwoman of the hospital’s board of directors said Thursday.
“She will be leaving the organization to pursue other opportunities. The board has accepted her decision,” Karen Hutt said in an email.
“Since the CEO resigned, accordingly there is no requirement to pay severance under her employment agreement.”
