Pavilions CEO Resigns

Dec. 22, 2024

Gerard Bodalski, CEO/Administrator of Grand Traverse Pavilions, resigned Friday following a meeting of the county facility’s Department of Health and Human Services Board.

According to a statement from board chair Mary Marois, the board recently received a report concerning alleged conduct relating to treatment of employees and residents. They then tasked Warner Norcross + Judd, LLP, a Michigan-based law firm, to conduct a third-party investigation into the report.

It was those findings that led to Mr. Bodalski’s resignation, Marois says.

“The investigation done earlier this week was waged with integrity and without bias,” her statement read. “After reviewing the findings today at our regular meeting, the Board and Mr. Bodalski have decided to part ways.”

The board asked Pavilions’ Finance Director Lindsey Dood to assume the role of acting Chief Executive Officer while it looks to find a new CEO.
