  • Months into a criminal investigation by the California Department of Justice into Contra Costa Health for possible Medi-Cal fraud and elder abuse, the East Bay public health care system has announced its CEO Anna Roth is leaving.

The Contra Costa Health CEO, Anna Roth, is stepping down from her position just months after the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) initiated a criminal investigation into the county's health services. Roth, who has been with the organization for 15 years, announced her departure to pursue new opportunities, effective at the end of June. The investigation focuses on allegations of civil rights violations, specifically concerning the treatment of inmates with mental health issues in the county's jail system. Despite the ongoing investigation, Roth's exit is described as unrelated to these legal issues. The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors has acknowledged her contributions, particularly during the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and has begun the search for her replacement.
