Interim President Named For OLOL Hospital's Charitable Arm

There's a new person in charge of the charitable foundation with ties to a Baton Rouge hospital that's been rocked by an embezzlement scandal.

John Paul Funes had led Our Lady of the Lake Foundation up until recently when he was fired amidst allegations of taking money from the organization for his own use.

While a criminal investigation continues, OLOL has named Christel Slaughter as the foundation's interim president effective next Monday.

Disclosure: iHeartMedia Baton Rouge is a partner with Our Lady of the Lake's Children's Hospital for an annual Radiothon and other fund-raising events.
