In September, the Emergency Medical Services and Trauma Systems Program charged paramedic Sarah Roskam, also known as Sarah Hozack, with unprofessional conduct.

In September, the Chiropractic Commission charged chiropractor Kelly C. Smith with unprofessional conduct. Smith allegedly treated seven patients while his credential was suspended, suggested an employee tell a commission investigator he’d treated only five patients during that time and directed an employee to fill out notes for treatment sessions Smith had provided.
