Healey fires head of Chelsea Soldiers’ Home

The firing comes amid criticism over Eric Johnson's management of the veterans' home since he became superintendent in 2020.

 


Johnson had been in the role of superintendent since December 2020. He was put on paid leave in June 2022 after allegations of sexual harassment and bullying surfaced, but he returned to the job in October. 

Healey terminated Johnson a day after the Globe shed light on excessive overtime payments made to the home’s nursing director. The firing also came a week after Inspector General Jeffrey Shapiro sent a letter to now former Gov. Charlie Baker criticizing conditions at the home.
