New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella announced Tuesday he’s selected retired Circuit Court Administrative Judge David D. King to serve as a governance consultant for North Country Healthcare, a nonprofit hospital system in Coös County that was the subject of a recent review from his office.

Late last year, the Charitable Trusts Unit, a team within the Attorney General’s Office responsible for approving hospital mergers, launched a review into North Country Healthcare and whether it was abiding by the 2016 affiliation agreement that allowed the three hospitals within its system to merge. The review, inspired by complaints from an organized group of Weeks Medical Center patients, examined, among other things, whether boards of directors at affiliate hospitals were being improperly overridden by executives at the parent company.
