Former AHS head alleges Alberta Health Minister created false narrative over her firing

The former chief executive of Alberta’s health authority, in a court document, says Health Minister Adriana LaGrange has crafted a “false, vindictive, and malicious” narrative about her to distract from allegations of political interference in health contracts.An 11-page document was filed on behalf of former Alberta Health Services CEO Athana Mentzelopoulos in the Court of King’s Bench of Alberta on Thursday. It is an official response to the statements of defence filed last week by AHS and Ms. LaGrange, both of which allege Ms. Mentzelopoulos was terminated because of poor job performance, not her investigations into potential impropriety.
