Observers could have heard a pin drop Thursday night, July 27, when North Valley Hospital commissioners unanimously decided to fire CEO Mike Zwicker.
Commissioner Adam Tibbs moved adoption of a resolution stating the “said individual is removable; we therefore will terminate Mike Zwicker.”
Commissioner Clarice Nelson seconded the motion.
After the vote, board Chairwoman Helen Casey asked the board and audience members to excuse her while she escorted Zwicker from the property.
