Dr. Robert Haddad, the former chief of a chain of Catholic hospitals who was forced out amid complaints of sexual harassment, was warned about his behavior by the state licensing board yesterday and told to get training about "maintaining appropriate interpersonal boundaries in the workplace."

The state Board of Registration in Medicine, which licenses Massachusetts doctors, issued a formal letter of warning to Haddad, but stopped short of disciplinary action. A warning letter is not part of a doctor's personal profile, which is posted on the board's public website, and is not reported to a national database that tracks discipline against physicians.

Haddad was forced to resign in May 2006 as head of Caritas Christi Health Care System, the hospital network owned by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston, after four female employees complained that he sexually harassed them, including hugging them and kissing some on the mouth.

In its letter to Haddad, the board said: "We warn you not to conduct yourself in any way that would reflect poorly on the medical profession. . . . We further warn you that you need to be aware of how your actions may be interpreted by the individuals that work for you and with you."

This is the same hypocritical bigot that re-structured the company's health insurance benefits so they wouldn't have to give coverage to the same-sex partners of their employees when Massachusetts legalized same-sex marriage. As far as I know, it was only Caritas and Cumberland Farms that did this.
