Two more hospital trustees resigned Tuesday. Ed Riddell’s and Reggie McNamara’s departures follow the resignation of trustee Jack Swann, which followed the firing of St. John’s Medical Center CEO Jim Schuessler, which came on the heels of Schuessler’s dismissal of the chief financial officer and the assistant administrator. The remaining trustees are trying to fill the leadership vacuum.
