Athana Mentzelopoulos filed a lawsuit against the health authority and the provincial government on Wednesday .

She alleges wrongful dismissal over her surprise removal via a Zoom call on Jan. 8 .

She claims her firing was linked to an investigation into inflated contracts for third -party services.

None of the allegations have been tested in court.

Alberta Health Services CEO says she was “repeatedly subject to interference and pressure” from government officials.

Lawsuit alleges she was asked to terminate workers who were openly critical of the Alberta government.

She was dismissed six days into her four-year contract, a little over one year into her contract.
