Oroville Hospital and Parent Co. Sue former CEO

Oroville Hospital and its parent organization OroHealth Corporation filed a lawsuit against a limited liability company owned by their former CEO, alleging he used his position to profit from a property deal that should have belonged to the hospital. Robert J. Wentz served as CEO and a board member of both organizations when he formed Dove's Landing, LLC in 2011. The lawsuit claims Wentz acquired the property at 2450 Oro Dam Boulevard in Oroville through Dove's Landing, then leased it back to the hospital at inflated rates while the hospital spent more than $7 million renovating the abandoned building. The hospital alleges Wentz controlled the boards of both organizations and misled trustees about the transaction. The lawsuit claims he presented the deal as the only viable option while concealing his 60% ownership stake in Dove's Landing. The lawsuit seeks to have the property transferred to Oroville Hospital and to recover overcharges and damages
