The longtime public health official chosen to oversee the Holyoke
Soldiers’ Home after its 2020 COVID outbreak said he was terminated
for raising concerns about continued danger at the facility.
Eric Sheehan alleged in a whistle-blower
claim that staff continued to place COVID-infected veterans too close to
uninfected veterans even after the deaths of 76 veterans that spring, my colleague
Andrea Estes reported.
“I identified serious problems with the quality of care veterans were
receiving and I brought these concerns to my supervisors,” Sheehan said
in an interview. “Instead of being recognized for my diligence, I was
ignored and ultimately terminated.”
