U.S. Attorney to announce news on Roger Williams Medical Center

PROVIDENCE - The U.S. Attorney's Office in Providence has called an 11:30 a.m. news briefing regarding Roger Williams Medical Center.

The medical center, its now-former president and two others were charged Jan. 5 in a 38-count federal indictment, alleging that the hospital and its representatives put former state Sen. John A. Celona on the payroll to do the medical center's bidding at the State House.

The hospital, if convicted, could be fined up to $500,000 per count and receive five years' probation.
