The former head of St. John’s Children’s Hospital has pleaded not guilty to embezzling more than $700,000 from the institution over six years.
Margaret Curtin also waived her right to a preliminary hearing. She declined further comment as she left court. She is free on $1 million bond.
Sangamon County State’s Attorney John Milhiser said he is considering filing more charges against Curtin. Prosecutors say the thefts happened between December 2008 and her arrest Sept. 22.
