CHICAGO – An executive at a Chicago hospital that improperly gave COVID-19 vaccinations to people outside the area the city asked the hospital to serve resigned, officials said Wednesday night.
The board of Loretto Hospital announced the resignation of Dr. Anosh Ahmed, the chief operating officer and chief financial officer.
Ahmed and CEO George Miller were reprimanded last week by the hospital’s board of directors after news reports said hospital executives provided COVID-19 to some people who weren’t qualified to receive it.
The executives have drawn recent criticism following revelations that the hospital improperly vaccinated workers at Trump Tower, at a suburban church where Miller is a member and at a luxury watch shop frequented by Ahmed. News site Block Club Chicago broke the stories.

He maintains that “many” of the allegations against him were “inaccurate or patently false,” but he also admitted that only a quarter of those vaccinated at the hospital were residents of the surrounding Austin neighborhood.
“Unfortunately, stories of my involvement of providing vaccines outside of the community became daily media and political fodder instead of focusing on the pandemic and expanding access to healthcare services in the Austin community and beyond,” Ahmed said in a statement Friday.
Ahmed and Miller first came under scrutiny following revelations from Block Club Chicago that the hospital improperly provided vaccinations to workers at Trump Tower, where Ahmed lives; a luxury watch shop on the Gold Coast where Ahmed shops; and a high-priced steakhouse that Ahmed frequents.
Miller has drawn criticism for authorizing the Trump Tower vaccinations and providing vaccine to more than 200 members of his southwest suburban church.
