O'Leary out at Carney Hospital after e-mail flap; Puleo named acting president
By
Sr. Marie Puleo: Acting president at Carney HospitalUpdated Wednesday, May 19— Dr. Daniel H. O’Leary, who has led Dorchester’s Caritas Carney Hospital for the last four years, abruptly resigned as president last Friday, May 14. His departure comes as the Caritas Christi Health Care system that owns Carney is set to be sold to a for-profit equity firm for a reported $830 million. Sr. Marie Puleo, a senior vice president at Caritas and a Dorchester native, is now serving as the acting president of the Dorchester Avenue hospital.
O’Leary offered no comment when reached by the Reporter this week. Caritas Christi officials say that O’Leary left voluntarily and had been contemplating a departure for some time. Still, O’Leary’s resignation stunned the local health care and political community and his silence on the reasons behind his decision has fueled speculation that O’Leary was forced out by Caritas Christi’s leadership.
