Nashville General Hospital has no documentation to support 85 percent of the credit card purchases made by three top hospital officials over a two-year period, according to a new Metro internal audit.
The audit, dated Aug. 28, found that transactions from the three credit-card holders at the cash-strapped safety-net hospital totaled $401,419 in 2016 and 2017.
The largest expenses include nearly $32,000 spent on airfare, $22,000 spent at a deli sandwich chain and $20,000 spent at movie theaters.
