CHRISTIAN COUNTY, Mo. – Three employees of the Ozark Community Hospital – Christian County Clinic were sentenced to probation today for their roles in a prescription drug kickback scheme.
“This was a new thing for us that we did not expect to see in the state of Missouri.

Susan Morris, Amber Moeschler, and Nga “Lily” Nguyen admitted they played a role in helping Dr. Randall Halley reap nearly $100,000 in bribe money for over-prescribing a powerful opioid pain killer called Subsys.
