Salmonella Hearings Branded Whitewash in Maryland
A Maryland Health Department worker denounced two days of hearings on a salmonella outbreak at a city nursing home as a whitewash. The three-man panel heard claims that officials were ordered to avoid unannounced inspections, with testimony suggesting inspections and patient-care standards were handled unevenly across facilities. The probe followed a 25-death outbreak tied to Gould Convalescent Home, amid broader questions about Maryland nursing home oversight and inspection practices.
