Another Lenka Stankova hurting the war fighters. John Windom, 64, a retired Navy officer, was charged with making false statements, concealment of material facts and falsification of a record or document tied to a failure to report more than $15,000 in cash, casino chips and other gifts from contractors. The Justice Department announced the charges on Wednesday, accusing him of “accepting, and sometimes demanding, extravagant gifts from a group of contractors and subcontractors who worked on the project he was overseeing.” As the indictment notes, Windom was aware of the rules regarding reporting gifts and receipts, per training for officials. “An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law,” the Justice Department said in its release.

In 2018, the 10-year contract was awarded to Cerner (now known as Oracle Health after Oracle acquired it). Windom was appointed as Executive Director of the Office of Electronic Record Modernization in 2017 and helped supervise the VA’s choice of Cerner for the contract. According to the grand jury indictment against him, Windom used his position to take money and gifts from a group of business executives from information technology and consulting companies who were contractors on the project. According to the indictment, Windom allegedly called them “the Power Group.” Windom used his role to “encourage, monitor, and facilitate contract and subcontracting opportunities for members of the Power Group, related and unrelated to the EHRM project.” Windom was allegedly given payment in everything from cash, to $8,200 in Louis Vuitton gift cards and $1,800 in casino chips. He was also given a High Efficiency Particulate Air, or HEPA, filter worth $631. The indictment also accuses Windom of using his position to “coerce” payments and gifts from others. Per the indictment, Windom “repeatedly reminded Power Group members to remain loyal and directed them to maintain confidentiality and their relationship with him.” In one message at the start of 2020, Windom messaged Power Group members, telling them that “loose lips sink ships.” Windom’s initial contract was extended, and in 2022 he was reassigned to serve as deputy director of the Federal electronic Health Modernization Office, a joint VA and Department of Defense project. Nine years after the modernization effort started, the Electronic Health Record program is used by only a handful of VA sites, with the program hit by glitches and usability issues. The VA paused the program in 2023, but is expected to roll out at several sites this year. Windom faces a maximum sentence of over 20 years in prison if convicted on all counts.

I have purchased the last ten cars and trucks from Musselman's Dodge. The service is outstanding. Recently I had break problems when I was over a hundred miles from home. I called the management team, they scheduled an appointment for me and were waiting when I arrived at their dealership. Once it was checked over, they ordered the part and was fixed by 9 a.m. the next morning. NOW THAT IS SERVICE. I do not even shop around, they know that I will be back for another vehicle in the future. Fell that I get a good trade-in when I make my next purchase. THEY GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO PLEASE THE CUSTOMR. YOU CAN'T DO MUCH BETTER THAN THAT. JOHN GENOA, JR. - CATONSVILLE, MD 21228

I went to Dr. Baird after searching thyroid specialists in Louisville, KY. After my first visit with him, he convinced me that he could help me with my hypothyroid condition. In the end, he really messed me up with my thyroid issues. He put me on a medicine that was not right for me and made me hyperthyroid rather than hypothyroid. I believe he did this on purpose. He encouraged hormone replacement, which made my thyroid condition even worse. And now after coming off of the hormones, I feel so much better. His treatment was not covered by insurance. I am now with a new primary care doctor covered by insurance. My new doctor said that he was trying to help me lose weight so I would keep coming back, but it was not proper treatment of my thyroid condition. He also made inappropriate comments to me during appointments. I do not recommend Dr. Baird. I paid him 4000 plus the cost of supplements that he insisted I needed. I was looking for a specialist, and he definitely tells you that he is. Just goes to show you that search engine optimization is real and doesn't always bring up the real experts.
